Chapter 791: The heroic plan
Lin Ranhua cleverly used the method of hiding taught by Fang Renshu to avoid Gu Mengzhen's eyes and ears and quietly went to Fang's house.
After the ceremony, they sat down. Fang Renshu looked at her expression and guessed the Queen's intention.
Out of courtesy, she asked politely.
"Your Majesty, you have come to my house. What do you want me to do for you?"
Lin Ran's paintings in a nutshell.
"I told the emperor the truth about my father's death and gave him advice. The emperor finally came to his senses and sent me here to ask for advice."
Fang Renshu behaved very respectfully.
"Your Majesty is so humble that I am humbled to accept your resignation."
"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. I will go down and invite relatives from all the prefectures to come and discuss important matters."
Lin Ranhua smiled and agreed.
"Well, let's go."
Fang Renshu went in person to explain the situation and invited all his family members to gather at Guxin Mansion.
Everyone saluted.
"I will wait for you, and I wish you the best of luck to Her Majesty the Queen."
Lin Ranhua held his hands in the air and looked humble.
"Everyone please stand up and take your seats."
Everyone thanked him and sat down one after another to discuss how to deal with Gu Mengzhen.
Fang Renshu explained the strategy in a concise and to the point manner.
"Emperor Xingliang has repeatedly issued letters of challenge, asking our emperor to personally lead the army to fight him, but each time he was sternly rejected."
"In my humble opinion, Your Majesty can either accept the offer or take the initiative to challenge him to a fight."
Fang Che followed up with the conversation.
"Shu'er's intention is to destroy the Yan clan, gain military merit in saving the world, appease the people, and help the royal family live forever?"
Fang Renshu responded respectfully.
"Father is wise, this is exactly what I meant."
"The current situation is irreversible. This is the only method that may work."
Everyone nodded in silent agreement.
Lin Ran's eyes are filled with worry.
"The emperor has left, and I don't want to live alone. Can you take me with you on this plan?"
Fang Renshu praised.
"Your Majesty is so righteous, I admire you."
"This matter is of great importance. I have no choice but to give you some advice. Your Majesty, you must think carefully. Once a person dies, he cannot be resurrected."
Lin Ranhua remained unchanged.
"You know, I have already made up my mind to follow the Emperor through life and death, and never leave him."
Knowing what his niece was thinking, Fang Lang also gave her some advice.
"According to Gu Mengzhen's plan, not only the Yan clan is in danger, but the Lin clan is also in danger."
"Only Her Majesty the Queen has a chance to survive."
Fang Renshu was confused.
"Why is the Lin Clan in danger?"
Fang Lang answered patiently.
"Gu Mengzhen's rebellion was caused by the Empress."
"If the Yan clan is destroyed, will the Lin clan agree to let the queen remarry him?"
"Gu Mengzhen knew that the Empress was filial. First, she might listen to her family and insist on not remarrying. Gu Mengzhen had just gained the world and he would not force her to do so in order to win the hearts of the people. Second, his family knew that Gu Mengzhen was rebelling in order to marry the Empress. They felt deeply ashamed and wanted to die to show their determination. The Empress would definitely follow him."
"Leaving the Lin people behind, the former is not what he wants; the latter may lead to losing the people he loves. Think about it, is Gu Mengzhen willing to take such a risk?"
Fang Renshu suddenly realized.
"Second uncle is absolutely right."
She suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Ok?"
"I have never revealed a word, so how did Second Uncle know that Gu Mengzhen had evil intentions?"
Fang Lang asked back with a gloomy face.
"You are the only one allowed to check. I am so slow and stupid that I don't know how to check?"
Fang Renshu waved his hands repeatedly.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant."
Fang Che was naturally displeased when his beloved daughter was refuted, and he immediately started to make sarcastic remarks.
"Shu'er is saying, I didn't expect you to be so unreliable as to investigate the Queen's private affairs."
"It seems that my second brother is incompetent and has a lot of free time, unlike me who is very busy every day."
Fang Lang spoke calmly, with a hint of mockery in his tone.
"The position of Grand Minister has been replaced by Zhong Jian, what are you busy with?"
"you……"
Fang Lingxiang's voice and expression were stern.
"You guys are arguing in front of the Queen, do you have any manners? Shut up!"
Fang Lang and Fang Che admitted their mistakes.
"Please forgive me, Madam."
Lin Ranhua is graceful and elegant.
"It's okay. I've been used to hearing this since I was a child."
"Under normal circumstances, you two can quarrel as long as you are happy. However, the current situation is critical and it is not appropriate to quarrel. Please discuss the business first and then quarrel."
Fang Lang and Fang Che responded.
"I obey."
Fang Lang explained his actions to avoid misunderstanding.
"He who knows both himself and his enemy will not be in danger of victory."
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I am investigating Gu Mengzhen's concerns. All my actions are for the sake of the overall situation and I have no ill intentions."
Lin Ran's paintings are warm.
"Well, Prince Qian has good intentions, and I understand."
Fang Renshu changed the subject.
"In this case, please tell your majesty that the Yan and Lin tribes will go together to the righteousness, and ask what their wishes are."
Lin Ranhua responded solemnly.
"okay."
She talked freely.
"In my opinion, they will not object if it is to save the country and the people."
"Besides, their opposition is useless. Gu Mengzhen is ruthless and will definitely eliminate all dissidents."
"If they take the initiative to fight for justice, the Yan and Lin clans can still retain a good reputation; if they sit back and wait for death, and let Gu Mengzhen scheme, they will definitely end up in disgrace."
"Given the current situation, we have no other choice."
Fang Qin had a strange look on his face and made some harsh comments.
"Sister Shu's heroic act of sacrifice cannot help but make people wonder if she has bad intentions."
Fang Renshu asked.
"Why do you say that, cousin Qin?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Fang Qin's tone.
"The Yan and Lin tribes were completely destroyed. Let me ask, who will inherit the throne?"
"It can't be you, can it?"
Sensing the malicious intent, Fang Renshu's face became gloomy and unhappy.
"Cousin, your words are too serious. I dare not do that."
Fang Lingyi responded sternly.
"Qin'er, don't talk nonsense."
Fang Qin was indignant.
"Why did my mother scold me? It's because she was restless and gave bad advice."
Fang Lingyi was straightforward and spoke her mind.
"You clearly understood Shu'er's intentions. Why did you deliberately stir up trouble and try to make the Queen hate Shu'er?"
"What's your intention?"
"Next, is he going to file a complaint and accuse Shu'er of seeking the throne?"
"We are sisters, how can Qin'er be so cold and indifferent?"
Fang Qin defended herself angrily.
"because of her……"
Fang Lingyi interrupted her and rebuked her coldly.
"I didn't ask why, so you don't have to tell me."
"If you make a mistake, correct it. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Fang Qin was unhappy and responded reluctantly.
"Yes."
Fang Lingyi apologized instead.
"My little girl acted foolishly and made Her Majesty the Queen laugh at me."
Lin Ranhua didn't care.
"No problem."
She asked seriously.
"In fact, I also want to ask, who will inherit the throne?"
"Is it Qing'er?"
"I think that Gu Mengzhen hates the emperor and the prince, and he will not let Qing'er go."
Fang Renshu did not boast and continued to explain his strategy.
"Your Majesty, the Queen, see you clearly."
"In my humble opinion, Your Majesty must have a new prince or princess to inherit the throne."
Lin Ranhua quickly found the omission.
"Princess, how do you inherit the throne?"
Fang Renshu handled it with ease.
"Your Majesty, please modify the law."
"The subjects may be dissatisfied, but after experiencing my heroic deeds and saving the world, they will surely be convinced."
There was a hint of sadness in Lin Ranhua's eyes.
"I am thirty-five years old. It is probably not easy for me to get pregnant."
"Even if I am lucky enough to get pregnant, I don't know if I can give birth to a child, or if I have the energy to protect the heir."
