After the bandits reunited with Mingyue, they learned from Mingyue that they had helpers, and their background was so powerful.
The prime minister of a country actually listens to their boss. In an instant, they felt that their status had also risen.
"You will enter the palace disguised as a team of imperial guards. A eunuch named Xiao Fuzi will ask you to guard the imperial garden. At that time, Concubine Shu will lead the emperor to the imperial garden and ask him to send those palace guards away. When she gives the signal, that will be your chance to take action."
When Prime Minister Yuan said this, he forced a somewhat unnatural smile on his face and added, "Military Advisor Song, I'm risking all my connections and my life this time. You can't just cross the river and burn the bridge, and then turn your back on me."
"Don't worry, Prime Minister. I, Song, always keep my word. And you have accomplished so much for our Song State. The Emperor of Song will not let you down." Mingyue said solemnly.
Prime Minister Yuan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then I wish Military Advisor Song all the best in advance."
"It's what we both want." Mingyue said with a smile.
After saying that, she took a group of bandits to look for someone.
When Prime Minister Yuan saw their backs, he felt a little relieved and just hoped that everything would go well!
And things are indeed progressing smoothly.
Mingyue and his companions took the handwritten letter and seal of the former prime minister and found the brother of his concubine, Lu Qiao, the captain of the Imperial Guard, according to the address given by the former prime minister.
After Lu Qiao finished reading the letter, the expression on his face turned red and white, and it was unpredictable.
But in the end he gritted his teeth and chose to follow the former prime minister's path.
It was true that the two of them were related by marriage, and if the former prime minister's deeds were exposed, Lu Qiao would not have a good ending. It would be better to give it a push, at least he could get a share of the spoils after winning, not to mention that the chances of winning were great now.
Led by Lu Qiao, Mingyue and his party went to the exclusive clothing room of the Imperial Guards and changed into the clothes of the Imperial Guards, and then went to the palace unimpeded.
The group of people stood at the northwest gate for a while, and then they saw an exceptionally plump eunuch walking towards them.
"Hey, you guys follow me." The eunuch said arrogantly with a big belly.
Mingyue lowered her eyes slightly, but suddenly asked, "What is your name, eunuch? Where do you want us to go?"
The eunuch glanced at Mingyue and snorted coldly: "I don't even recognize Eunuch Fu. Are you new here?"
Mingyue smiled and said, "So it's Master Xiao Fuzi."
The eunuch nodded proudly: "Everyone in the palace knows that my little Fuzi is the most capable eunuch beside the Concubine Shu. All right, follow me to the Imperial Garden. The Concubine Shu will prepare a surprise for His Majesty in a while, so don't waste time."
Xiao Fuzi, the Imperial Garden, and Concubine Shu are facing each other.
Mingyue nodded slightly towards Lu Qiao, and followed Xiao Fuzi with a group of bandits.
Lu Qiao watched them walk further and further away, and veins popped out on his hand holding the hilt of the sword.
I just hope they can succeed, otherwise... this is a serious crime that will lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan!
Not long after, Mingyue and his group arrived at the imperial garden.
Xiao Fuzi pointed to a place at random, told a group of people to wait, and then walked away slowly with his big belly.
After a long while, Mingyue and the others heard a gentle female voice: "Your Majesty, the magnolia I mentioned is missing here. I brought that magnolia into the palace from home. Every time I miss my parents, I come to see it to relieve my longing. But now it's gone, wuwu..." At this moment, a middle-aged male voice that sounded a little vulgar said: "Don't cry, my beloved concubine. It's just an orchid. Can I ask someone to send you a thousand or ten thousand pots?"
The woman cried even harder: "Your Majesty, you don't understand me at all. I don't want any other orchids. I just want the one I brought from home."
When Emperor Wu heard this, he felt that his heart was about to be broken by his beloved concubine's tears, and he quickly said to her, "Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I'll have someone find it for you. Is that okay now?"
The female voice, that is, Concubine Shu's eyes flashed, but she turned around and hugged Emperor Wu's arm and said coquettishly: "No, I want the emperor to find it personally, and no one else is allowed to help. Your Majesty, you are the best, you will definitely listen to me, right?"
Not to mention, Emperor Wu really had no way to deal with Concubine Shu. What he could not stand the most was her gentleness, thoughtfulness and coquettishness, so she was able to become a favorite concubine in the palace from the daughter of a small county magistrate in the border area.
Moreover, the national situation is tense now, he has been suppressed for too long, and he really wants to relax with his beloved concubine.
Isn't it just looking for an orchid? He just looked for it.
"Okay, okay, I always listen to what my beloved concubine says." Emperor Wu touched Concubine Shu's cheek, then turned to the eunuchs and palace maids and said, "Alright, alright, all of you leave. Concubine Shu and I will stay in the Imperial Garden for a while."
"Yes." All the palace servants bowed their heads in agreement and then retreated.
When Emperor Wu really squatted on the ground and started looking for orchids seriously, Concubine Shu suddenly hit Emperor Wu on the back of his neck with the back of her hand.
Emperor Wu was naturally completely unprepared for his beloved concubine and immediately fainted on the ground.
Concubine Shu stared at his face with vicious eyes, stepped heavily on his face twice, and then imitated the sound of a bird.
In fact, even if Concubine Shu did nothing, Mingyue didn't plan to wait any longer.
Since there is no one else around at this time, it is the best time to take action.
But Mingyue really didn't expect that Concubine Shu had done everything she could, which saved them a lot of effort.
When Mingyue and the others were about to leave with the unconscious Emperor Wu, Concubine Shu suddenly called Mingyue: "If possible, please let him die a miserable death."
Mingyue looked at her in surprise: "What is going on between you and him..."
Before Mingyue finished speaking, tears had already fallen from Concubine Shu's eyes: "I used to live happily with my father, mother and brother, but because he wanted to go to war, I lost my father, my brother, and finally my mother too. He deserves to die."
Mingyue now understood that Concubine Shu's family was a victim of the war, so she came to take revenge on Emperor Wu.
"Don't worry, his life will not be easy from now on." Mingyue promised solemnly.
Concubine Shu bowed and said seriously, "Thank you."
Seeing her bright eyes, Mingyue said something inexplicably: "There will be no more wars in the future."
Concubine Shu's body was trembling slightly, and her expression looked like she was crying and laughing at the same time: "It's so good, so good..."
Yeah, that’s great!
Mingyue and his group led Emperor Wu out of the palace unhindered.
