"Failed?"

The woman sitting on the seat had an extremely ugly face, scratching the expensive table with her long and slender nails, making a sharp and piercing sound, her eyes had a hint of madness.

She had been planning for so long, exhausted her efforts to find an excellent opportunity to attack, and transferred the guards around Tong Sui, in order to get rid of him quickly.

"As a result, you are now telling me that you have failed?"

"Your Majesty, this, this time was an accident," the person kneeling on the ground shook his body, "I was already about to succeed, but who knew His Royal Highness Yunyu suddenly appeared—"

"Shut up," the queen thought of Rong Jin's previous deeds, and her heart shuddered, with cold sweat oozing from her back, "Did these things you do leave any traces?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Xiao's hands and feet are very clean, no matter how skillful that Jin Yiwei is, he can't find any traces."

The queen hummed, "Okay, you can go down."

"yes."

When the subordinate walked out of the palace, he thought that he was let go. Suddenly, a strong force strangled his neck.

He was strangled by someone from behind, and fell to the ground. When he looked back, he met that beautiful face. At this moment, only viciousness and distortion remained.

After the people on the ground breathed their last, the queen breathed a sigh of relief, and said to several servants: "Treat it cleanly, so that no one will find out."

In the tent on the other side.

Rong Jin was playing with the broken arrow in his hand, the expression on his face was so heavy that it was about to drip water, while the Commander of Jin Yiwei standing beside him was trembling, not daring to vent his breath.

There were also a few strong Jinyiwei kneeling on the ground.

Rong Jin said coldly: "I asked you to watch people, that's how you help me watch."

As soon as his voice came out, the originally gloomy atmosphere in the camp became even colder and almost frozen.

The faces of the people on the ground were ashen.

Rong Jin's mission never allowed for any mistakes or omissions, but today they were taken advantage of and almost killed someone.

Rong Jin looked at the commander of Jin Yiwei, "If you do something unfavorable, how should you be punished according to the rules?"

The commander swallowed, "It should be cut."

Rong Jin lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Then what are you still doing?"

The commander replied yes, then approached and took out his saber.

The tent was stained with spattered blood.

There was a thick smell of blood in the air, and the blood dripped down the blade.

At this time, a person came from outside the curtain, carrying a suitcase.

"grown ups."

Rong Jin let him in.

Then he threw the arrow in his hand, "Recognize it carefully, where did the manufacturing office make this?"

The old man was so scared by the two corpses beside him that he looked and looked at the arrow with trembling hands, opened the box and fiddled with it, knelt down and cupped his hands and said, "Master, this arrow does not belong to any registered manufacturing office.".”

Rong Jin sneered.

The commander who stood beside him knew that someone must suffer again.

Anyone who dares to make weapons privately is a felony, let alone bumping into Rong Jin's muzzle.

The old man continued: "Not only that, the arrow is also coated with poison, if it hits a vital part, the medicine will not heal."

"Snapped"

Rong Jin swept away the porcelain on the table and stood up. Everyone fell to their knees, with their foreheads on the floor, not daring to look up at his face.

"Even my people dare to move, it's just looking for death."

Rong Jin's voice seemed to penetrate the cracks in everyone's bones, the chill piercing through the bones.

Everyone present knew the content of his words, it was definitely not harsh words, but Rong Jin could really do it.

"Commander."

The Commander of Jin Yiwei who was called his name trembled violently, "The minister is here."

"Send additional staff for 12 hours to protect Tong Sui secretly, and no more mistakes are allowed," Rong Jin said, "I only give you one day to find out who is behind it, otherwise you will bring the head of your head to me..”

"yes!"

The commander took the order and went out.

And the two Jin Yiwei who were executed on the spot just now were also dragged out.

Rong Jin didn't think about ending this matter so easily.

"Feng Yongchang, call me all the people from the Ministry of War."

Feng Yongchang answered yes with a trembling voice.

The Ministry of War is responsible for the production and supervision of weapons. For private weapons manufacturing, they have at least one charge of unfavorable supervision.

And looking at Rong Jin's momentum, the fate of these people is probably not much better than the two who were beheaded.

After spending the night in the forest farm, the convoy went back to the palace the next day.

Tong Sui didn't drink much last night.

He still remembered that he handed the arrow to Rong Jin, it should be easy to find out with his ability.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, an unexpected visitor came to his study.

Rong Jin is here.

This was his first visit to Tongsui's place, just walking in scared the newly transferred maids and eunuchs.

Fortunately, Rong Jin didn't even look at them, and went straight into the study.

Xiao Shunzi poked his head outside.

A little palace lady beside him said: "This must be something wrong..."

"Don't be crowed!"

Xiao Shunzi said it was absolutely impossible, but his face still showed worry. He stopped the maid who was about to serve tea inside, took the tray over, and walked in with a righteous face.

Xiao Shunzi stood outside the door and asked tentatively, and heard Tong Sui's voice from inside, "Come in."

Only then did he dare to open the door and go in.

Rong Jin said lightly: "Put things out, and no one is allowed to come in without my order."

"yes."

After putting down the tea and pastries, Xiao Shunzi glanced at Tong Sui in front of the desk, and after confirming that he was safe and sound, he went out and closed the door.

After confirming that the door was closed, Tong Sui hurriedly got up from the desk and came to him, and called out from a distance that was very close to others, "My lord."

Rong Jin hummed.

Of course he could see that those servants looked at him defensively just now, as if he was here to harm their master.

But this is not bad, at least know how to protect the Lord.

"My lord, why did you come to see me?" Tong Sui said, "I was still dozing off just now, but I became refreshed when I saw you."

Rong Jin stared at him, there was a small red mark protruding from his palm on his snow-white cheek, as small as a crescent moon.

"Are you not afraid at all that someone will harm you?"

Tong Sui shook his head, "I have adults to protect me, most people dare not touch me, and adults will definitely clean them up for me, right?"

When he spoke, his long eyelashes curled up, and his tone was confident and absolute, but there was no disgust.

Rong Jin said: "The one who moves you is indeed not an ordinary person, but Chu Yunyu's biological mother, the current empress."

Tong Sui was stunned.

It seems that he didn't expect this expansion.

After finding out the truth, Rong Jin ordered her life to be taken.

He will never allow anyone who destroys his plan to appear, and the existence of the queen is a threat. Even if Tong Sui escaped this time, it does not mean that he will have such luck next time.

the solution?

Only the disappearance of one side can end.

But before actually giving the order, he thought of the scene of Tong Sui and Chu Yunyu being together that day.

He was very curious about the savior on the one hand and the enemy who raised the butcher knife against him on the other.

How would you choose when you were a child?

"I have warned her before, but I didn't expect that she would dare to challenge my bottom line again and again, so I had no choice but to get rid of her," Rong Jin said, "But before that, I want to hear your opinion on this matter."

"She is Chu Yunyu's biological mother. His Highness should be very sad after getting rid of her."

When Rong Jin was speaking, he kept observing Tong Sui's expression.

Tong Sui never thought that Rong Jin would ask his opinion.

According to the original plot line, Rong Jin directly ordered Chu Yunyu's mother to be killed, which was also the reason why the two were incompatible later on.

So even if the queen is guilty this time, he must save her for Chu Yunyu's sake.

"My lord, getting rid of her can certainly avoid future troubles, but even after getting rid of her, there will still be someone new to take the position of the queen."

Tong Sui said: "So can we take some mitigation measures?"

Rong Jin looked at him deeply, he didn't want Tong Sui to be an indecisive person after all.

If you don't even deal with your enemies, this kind of kindness will only harm you in the end. This is the experience he built with his bones.

But there is another voice in his heart: If Tong Sui becomes like him, is it still him?

Seen by his deep eyes, Tong Sui's heart faintly trembled.

Rong Jin's character has always been arbitrary, even if he said he was asking for his opinion, it might be a way of probing.

I don't know how long it took before Rong Jin finally stood up and said, "I won't kill her. From tomorrow onwards, the empress will have an emergency and refuse everyone's visits."

After sending Rong Jin away, Tong Sui was inexplicably relieved.

This is equivalent to finding an excuse to put her under house arrest in a disguised form, and sending someone to monitor her to prevent her from doing anything again.

With Rong Jin's character of repaying everything, this is already the biggest concession he can make.

But before the first wave subsides, a new wave rises.

The system said: "Host, the protagonist Gong has been arrested and imprisoned for his involvement in the case of ineffective supervision by the Ministry of War, but there is nothing wrong at present. He is just dismissed and imprisoned."

Tong Sui couldn't help frowning.

This also coincides with the original world line plot inexplicably.

Although the causes of the cases involved are different, the results all point in the same direction.

It's like being in a rolling wheel, Tong Sui can't shake this powerful plot development with his own strength alone.

Xiao Shunzi and a group of servants all ran in, "Your Highness, are you alright?"

Tong Sui shook his head with a wooden face.

"It's okay, it's okay, I was scared to death just now, I thought we were finished this time."

"No wonder they all said that no one can offend the governor of the East Factory. This time I finally understand, he looks too scary."

Tong Sui said: "Are you all afraid of him?"

"That's right! There is no one in this palace who is not afraid of him," Xiao Shunzi lowered his voice, "He is ruthless and has many eyes and ears. Everyone calls him nine thousand years old, only a little short of His Majesty's long live."

Rong Jin has accumulated power for a long time, not only has he made many enemies in the government and the public, but also has negative comments from ordinary people.

It is more difficult to save someone from under his hands than to kill someone.

Tong Sui sighed, the original decision to interfere with Rong Jin has exceeded his own duty, and now there is a protagonist gong, how is he going to go to jail to get him out.

After Rong Jin came out from the Chonghua Palace, several people waiting at the spot bowed respectfully.

The commander of Jin Yiwei bowed and said: "My lord, we are ready and we can do it at any time."

"No, this time the plan is cancelled." Rong Jin said: "Save her life and send a few more people to watch over her. No one is allowed to approach Kunning Palace."

Several people suspected that they had heard it wrong.

This is actually something that came out of Rong Jin's mouth, and he would let him go so easily?

Is it because of childhood?

In their hearts, Tong Sui's status has quietly risen to another level.

The Kunning Palace was surrounded by Rong Jin's subordinates, and they went to the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment every day. They declared that they were sick, but the medicines they decocted were all chronic poisons.

Long-term use will not kill people, but it will make people in a state of insanity all day long.

Chu Yunyu tried to go in several times but was stopped. He didn't know what was going on inside, so he was so anxious to break in.

A few guards pushed him back, "Your Highness, don't force your way in anymore, your empress is suffering from an infectious disease, and the governor has ordered that no one approach her."

Of course, Chu Yunyu would not let this kind of statement sound like an excuse.

But here is heavily guarded, and there are people guarding it in shifts all the time, so he can't get in at all.

So Chu Yunyu gave up trying to force his way in, and instead ran to the supervisor of ceremonies.

He never bothered to come to this place.

"A bunch of dogs." Chu Yunyu cursed in a low voice, and forced his way in, "Rong Jin, you let my concubine mother go!"

His menacing voice frightened the eunuchs in the hall, but Rong Jin who was sitting at the top didn't even raise his head, and said calmly: "You all go down first."

The eunuchs in the hall hurriedly got up and left.

Chu Yunyu didn't have any scruples, and scolded: "Don't think that you can do whatever you want now that you control the government, my Highness tells you, you are just a dog raised by the emperor!"

Rong Jin chuckled, "It turns out that His Highness came here specifically to talk about these things."

Chu Yunyu choked up.

All the things he was proud of seemed to be gone in front of Rong Jin, a man of humble background.

"You keep talking about the Chu family's country, but in the end it's just being manipulated by me, a stray dog."

Rong Jin smiled lightly, his eyes were cold.

"I don't know how it feels?"

Chu Yunyu gritted his back teeth so he could resist the urge to pounce on him. He told himself to calm down and don't forget his purpose for coming here.

"Quickly release my concubine mother!"

Rong Jin said: "It is the greatest kindness for me to keep her alive,"

Chu Yunyu frowned, "What do you mean?"

Rong Jin said: "She was the one who let people shoot the stab in the back at the forest farm."

Chu Yunyu froze on the spot, "No, how is this possible? Don't you want to spit blood here!"

"It seems that you really don't know anything, and you really think of yourself as a childhood savior."

Rong Jin said: "When you were grounded in Yangxin Zhai, your concubine mother sent someone to drown Tong Sui in the pond."

"Not only that, even his biological mother was forced to leave by her when he was a child, which caused him to live outside for more than ten years.

Do you think that a little favor you gave him can make up for it?Everything she did today was what she deserved."

Rong Jin's every word was like a sharp sword piercing Chu Yunyu's heart, cutting open the already rotten inside, and spreading it out for him to take a good look at.

"You always claim to be noble, but what is the difference between what you do and me, an inferior person?"

Chu Yunyu completely lost the air of rushing in just now, but stood in a trance, and what Rong Jin said last repeatedly echoed in his mind.

He didn't want to believe it was true, but Rong Jin really didn't need to lie to him.

Rong Jin disdained to do this kind of behavior.

This kind of truth not only makes it impossible for him to face Tong Sui anymore, but also makes it impossible for him to accept his biological mother.

He returned to his room in a daze.

The servant leaned over with concern, "Your Highness, what's the matter with you, are you feeling unwell, I'll call the imperial physician for you."

"No, go get me a drink."

Chu Yunyu gulped down the strong wine, and fell down on the table after getting drunk, as if this way could drive away the pain in his heart.

Ever since the queen announced that she was ill, the emperor, who was immersed in cultivating immortals, also heard the news. He originally planned to visit, but after hearing Rong Jin's report that it was contagious, he dismissed the idea.

As the days passed, the emperor also began to feel some discomfort in his body.

He was very worried, and spent all day in Gaoxuan Hall.

But this time, he didn't get better. Instead, he became dizzy and lost a lot of weight visible to the naked eye.

"Daoist, I have already sincerely said so, why is my body still not getting better?"

The Taoist priest said: "Your Majesty, that's because the Qianlong has not yet returned to its place. You have a dragon body to last for so long, like a queen whose body is weak and can't hold it."

"If you make His Royal Highness Yunsui the crown prince, everything will be fine."

"This."

The matter of setting up a crown prince is related to the foundation of the country, even if the emperor is in a coma at this time, he knows that he can't agree casually.

"Let me think about it again."

Rong Jin was not in a hurry when he heard the Taoist priest, "Just wait, as long as he stops his medicine, he will agree sooner or later."

Sure enough, after a few weeks of struggling and hesitating, an imperial edict made Tong Sui the crown prince.And the other princes were also made kings, and were given fiefs to stay away from the capital.

A series of thunderous tactics caught the courtiers by surprise.

The courtiers began to remonstrate constantly, hoping to get the emperor back, but they were all stopped by Rong Jin with various means, and they were dismissed one after another for investigation.

In just two years, it was equivalent to cleaning the entire imperial court.

Zhang Yanru knew that he had no way to compete with Rong Jin, so he handed in his resignation and returned home.

Since then, Rong Jin's power has reached its peak.

Because of these acts of cruelty to the courtiers, his reputation abroad was completely ruined, and everyone feared him.

Finally, when Tong Sui was seventeen, the emperor died and Tong Sui succeeded to the throne.
