Chapter 634 Game
Shen Shuyi took the doll full of needles in his hand and looked at it carefully.
She was not disappointed with what Pang Xinlian did. After all, she had witnessed the evil of human nature in her previous life.
But she had to say that she didn't expect that this was not Emperor Qianwu's birth date, but Lu Xiao's.
Shen Shuyi thought about it carefully and realized that what was searched out of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion in his previous life was indeed a doll with Emperor Qianwu's birthday inscribed on it. Moreover, there were many silver needles inserted on it, which made Emperor Qianwu very angry.
In the end, the charges against the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion that they were involved in the confiscation of their property were that they practiced witchcraft and attempted to murder the emperor, and that they colluded with the remnants of the fourth prince to usurp the throne.
Therefore, the birthday on this doll in the previous life should be that of Emperor Qianwu.
Shen Shuyi stared at the puppet, looking at it over and over again.
Why is it Lu Xiao's instead of Emperor Qianwu's?
Could it be that, because the Lu family has been in trouble one after another, the Lu family wants to find a scapegoat before Emperor Qianwu convicts the Lu family?
No, it shouldn't be called a scapegoat.
Shen Shuyi suddenly remembered "Youth's Chronicles". The book wrote that when the young man was seriously injured, many scoundrels jumped out and took the opportunity to impeach the young man, intending to bring him down.
So, by writing down Lu Xiao's birth date and time, was he trying to tell Emperor Qianwu and everyone else that the Lu family was framed?
After all, when the Luo Kingdom invaded this time, my grandfather replaced Lu Xiao, and others were unaware of the danger. It seemed that the Qingyuan Marquisate was indeed the vested interest. If we push the issue further, what if Lu Xiao's crime was also a frame-up and design by others?
Who is most guilty?
There will inevitably be many people who suspect the Qingyuan Marquisate and my grandfather.
At this time, if the evidence of witchcraft was produced, it seemed that the blame would be completely placed on the Qingyuan Marquisate.
But, is it just like that?
Is it because the circumstances of the Hou Mansion and the Lu Family are different in this life, so the Lu Family changed their strategy, or...
"There seems to be words on the back of this note."
Zhao Baokun was sitting opposite Shen Shuyi, who was standing and examining the doll. Zhao Baokun looked up and vaguely caught a glimpse of a black area on the back of the note.
Hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on the doll. Shen Shuyi immediately removed the silver needle from it and then turned the note over.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed as Zhao Baokun had said, with another string of birth data written in black ink on the back of the note. However, this string of characters was smaller, as if the author was afraid that the ink would smudge, so he wrote it very lightly.
It was precisely because it had to be staggered with Lu Xiao's eight characters on the front that this line of words was written lower, so Zhao Baokun caught a glimpse of the tail.
"Whose horoscope is this?" Zhao Baokun leaned his head closer. At first he thought he had seen it wrong, but the number eight was right where the pen was put down, and the stroke on the right was drooping, so he could see it clearly.
Zhao Baopeng frowned: "It looks a bit familiar."
Zhao Xueqing didn't say anything, but seemed to remember something, with a hint of shock in her pupils: "This... this is..."
"Whose is it?" Zhao Baokun asked.
Zhao Xueqing's face turned pale and she didn't dare to say anything.
Shen Shuyi whispered, "It's from His Majesty the Current Emperor."
"What?" the two brothers asked in unison, obviously frightened as well.
A hint of coldness flashed in Shen Shuyi's eyes. If this was the case, it made sense. The Lu family's circumstances in the previous life were different from this life, so there was no mention of Lu Xiao's birth date written on the doll.
In this life, the Lu family needs to break out, and the best way is to turn themselves into the role of the victim, and Lu Xiao's grandfather is the best candidate to replace them.
But at the same time, Emperor Qianwu is now suspicious of the Lu family and Xiao Heyu, so if he simply curses Lu Xiao, the Qingyuan Marquisate may not be severely punished, and the Lu family may end up making things worse.
But if it is a curse on Emperor Qianwu, it would be completely different.
Especially since the eldest uncle was the study partner of the late Second Prince, he was also classified as a member of the late Fourth Prince's party. Emperor Qianwu fought the most fiercely with the late Fourth Prince. Although he showed mercy to his own brother, he was not so generous to others.
Therefore, the Lu family directly diverted Emperor Qianwu's attention from the current cases such as the flood in Jiangnan and the battle of Lushan, giving him another reason to suspect the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Let me ask you, between the Lu family, who are greedy for power and wealth but loyal to him, and the Zhao family, who curse him, intend to rebel, and collude with the remnants of the fourth prince, which one would Emperor Qianwu choose?
After Shen Shuyi explained it clearly, everyone took a deep breath.
"Was it the Lu family who ordered this? Or was it the Third Prince? They have sinister intentions!" Zhao Baokun was furious: "And Pang Xinlian, she is such a traitor!"
Compared with the slander and harm from outsiders, the betrayal by relatives and trusted people is often more painful and frustrating.
For a moment, no one said anything.
"Cousin, what should we do now? Should we tell grandfather?" Zhao Xueqing frowned, unable to understand why Pang Xinlian would do this.
Shen Shu thought for a moment and said, "Please ask grandpa to come over."
Mr. Zhao had already gone to bed at this time. When he heard his grandson's confidant invite him to come over, he couldn't help but squint his eyes and make some plans in his mind.
Half an hour later, after hearing what had happened, Mr. Zhao looked gloomy.
"What do you think now, Sister Yi?" Old Master Zhao looked at his young granddaughter in front of him.
Shen Shuyi looked directly at Mr. Zhao: "It depends on what Grandpa wants."
"Tell me about it." Old Master Zhao said in a deep voice.
"If you just want the Marquis' Mansion to escape danger safely and advance to the next level, then you only need to exchange this puppet for a farewell letter."
As long as you show your loyalty to Emperor Qianwu in your heart, be prepared for death, and settle your family, you will naturally be able to move the emperor.
"If you want to counter the Lu family, you can only take a gamble, but the Marquis' Mansion also has risks." Shen Shuyi spoke again.
Mr. Zhao narrowed his eyes: "How to bet?"
Shen Shuyi picked up the puppet and said calmly, "Put this puppet back, but this birth chart needs to be moved. In addition, we need to add some more things."
"How do we move?" Mr. Zhao asked decisively.
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Since the Lu family wants to plot against us, we can just use their trick against us. We just need to remove Lu Xiao's eight characters from it and only leave Emperor Qianwu's. Then, the positions of Qingyuan Marquis Mansion and the Lu family will be swapped."
Zhao Baokun continued, "You mean, in this way, in the eyes of His Majesty, the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion is the real victim, and His Majesty will think that someone framed the Marquis' Mansion and wanted to stop Grandpa from leading the troops."
"Smart, but it will take some effort to change this horoscope and make His Majesty completely suspicious of the Lu family. However, it all depends on what my grandfather wants to choose." Shen Shuyi said firmly.
"If the Lu family is not eliminated, my mansion will never have peace, and the people of the world will suffer even more. In this case, we might as well fight to our heart's content!" Old Master Zhao's eyes were full of coldness and he was determined to fight.
"Okay, then that's as grandpa wishes." Shen Shuyi immediately called Qin Xin and asked her to find Lian Qiao to get some things.
