Chapter 1: Who is to blame (2)
News in the palace soon reached Zhu Yinglong's ears, and Zhu Yinglong quickly asked someone to call Shi Kefa and Xiong Hu to discuss countermeasures.
Zhu Yinglong first told them about the two imperial edicts of the Heavenly Qi Emperor.
Should Li Yongzhen save him or not? There was a disagreement between Zhu Yinglong and Shi Kefa. Shi Kefa believed that Li Yongzhen was unsuccessful and might cause trouble. He firmly advocated giving up Li Yongzhen. Zhu Yinglong took a fancy to the value of Li Yongzhen. This guy has many secrets about Wei Zhongxian that they didn't know yet, which would definitely help eliminate Wei Zhongxian, so he still planned to rescue him alive.
The two of them refused to give in and each had their own ideas and reasons. This issue was temporarily put on hold at Xiong Hu's suggestion and would be discussed when Li Yongzhen returned to the capital.
"Prince, Wei Zhongxian will definitely not let Miss Shulan go. Although the emperor has not obeyed Wei Zhongxian's words and issued an order to arrest Miss Shulan, you have also sent the order to the capital. The royal mansion was monitored by the people from the East Factory day and night, and it will be troublesome if it is discovered by the people from the East Factory. Also, what should I do with that Hou Guoxing? Lu Haotian and others suggest that he be exchanged for some White Lotus Cultists arrested by the court." Although the two had a great disagreement about Li Yongzhen just now, it did not affect their relationship. Shi Kefa could always speak out the next thing calmly.
Zhu Yinglong knew in his heart that who knew that Ye Lianyi would appear in the middle of the process, and turned Wei Liangqing into a eunuch. Now the uncle and nephew can go hand in hand, but in this way, Hou Guoxing was like a waste of money in his own hands. He originally wanted to use Hou Guoxing to provoke the conflict between Kebaba and Wei Zhongxian, but now it seems that the result is the opposite, which makes them more closely integrated. The difference between one son is lost.
"Kill Hou Guoxing!" Zhu Yinglong's heavy punch fell on the desk, shocking Shi Kefa and Xiong Hu to look at each other and were shocked.
"Prince, we can still use this person in our hands. Please think twice." Shi Kefa stepped forward and advised earnestly.
"I have thought about it twice. Hou Guoxing's death is much more useful to us than being alive." Zhu Yinglong was not an impulse. If Hou Guoxing was not dead, Wei Zhongxian and Kebaba would be closely linked. Kebaba needed Wei Zhongxian to help her save her son. Once Hou Guoxing died, Kebaba would despair and even vent his anger on Wei Zhongxian and Wei Liangqing. Once the relationship between the two was rifted, Zhu Yinglong's situation would be much better.
"Prince, as long as the hostages are in hand, we still have room for madness. Besides, they are in the open and we are in the dark. Killing Hou Guoxing can only make Wei Zhongxian and Kebaba desperate. If the Jinyiwei and the East Factory go crazy, I don't know how many innocent people will be implicated!" Shi Kefa tried his best to convince Zhu Yinglong.
Yes, if these two people go crazy, there will definitely be many people involved. I am afraid that the more than 30 Jinyiwei who came back alive with Hou Guoxing will be in a different place, and the counties around Feiyundu will be implicated innocently. There are White Lotus Sect demons who attacked court officials in their own jurisdiction. It is already very good not to be exiled to Xubian. Even now, they cannot escape the blame. I am afraid that they are already catching people like crazy!
"Li Niang has a plan, it depends on the prince's resignation?" Xiong Hu said.
"What are you reluctant to let go of me?" Zhu Yinglong was shocked when he heard this. Three cobblers were beaten to Zhuge Liang.
"Let Sister Shulan appear." Xiong Hu said word by word.
"No, I definitely don't agree to do this." Zhu Yinglong's face suddenly darkened. He didn't know what Xiong Hu wanted to do. He just didn't want to hurt Tian Shulan again. Both sisters were almost hurt by him, so he vetoed it.
"If you don't agree, why did you bear to put Shulan sister in the nest of tigers and wolfs? Why did you do so resolutely at that time? It's time, Nian hesitated. I really don't know how Shulan sister was deeply in love with you, a hypocritical person?" Xiong Hu said higher and higher, and his tone became more and more angry. He scolded Zhu Yinglong for nothing, and he called Shi Kefa next to him, and was stunned. He was even more surprised than Xiong Hu's suggestion that Tian Shulan appeared. This was the first time he had seen the person who dared to scold King Xin in person, especially the name was changed to "you, me", and the difference between the upper and lower was gone.
"Hypocritical?" Zhu Yinglong was struck by lightning and stared at Xiong Hu in a daze. I couldn't say anything. Am I hypocritical? This is the first time I asked myself in my heart. In his dictionary, hypocrisy means being a human being with a mask, but he has always treated others with sincerity, except for enemies. So what does hypocrisy mean in Xiong Hu's understanding? He first sent the woman who loved him deeply into Hulang's side for himself, and then rescued the person. If something happened in between, how would he face the woman who loved him deeply, Zhu Yinglong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Now that he was unwilling to do this, he was called hypocritical. Why is this? It's really hard for him to understand.
Shi Kefa saw that the atmosphere was wrong, so he hurriedly left quietly on the grounds that he wanted to go to Xinyuan Teahouse to find Zhou Huaian for news.
"Li Niang, you are right. I am indeed a very hypocritical person." Zhu Yinglong looked very lonely. If it weren't for his hypocrisy, he shouldn't have made that decision from the beginning. Everything now is a glass of bitter wine obtained from his hypocrisy and selfishness. He should drink this glass of bitter wine, and he must drink it.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that." Xiong Hu had never seen Zhu Yinglong's face look so ugly. He must be very sad now.
"I was wrong, Li Niang, can you forgive me?" Zhu Yinglong found that the person he had always found who could talk to was by his side. She could scold and hate herself without any scruples, but she couldn't have any hatred or dissatisfaction with her. The relationship was so wonderful.
"Prince, Li Niang just said nothing..." Xiong Hu had never seen Zhu Yinglong so sincere, and was still begging her for forgiveness. She felt panic in her heart. It was already rare for a man to let go of his sternness and ask for forgiveness from a woman. If that person still has another identity, the prince with a noble status would be even more precious.
"You are right, it's me that's wrong. I shouldn't have done that from the beginning. I'm sorry to Shulan and you, I'll do my best to compensate you." Zhu Yinglong walked forward, took Xiong Hu into his arms, and said emotionally.
Xiong Hu can also be moved. There is no perfect person in this world. Since you love him, you should learn to be tolerant. Of course, this tolerance is also limited. When it reaches the limit, you should learn to correct it. This is not done deliberately. Sometimes people learn all this unconsciously. This is the so-called confusion among the authorities and the bystanders are clear.
"Then what should we do now?" Xiong Hu asked worriedly in the man's warm arms.
"This matter will inevitably attract the attention of the government and the public. I hope this is not a fuse." Zhu Yinglong said helplessly. This time the scoundrel was too big and I don't know how it ended.
"Why are you hypocritical once?" Xiong Hu lowered his head and thought for a long time, then suddenly said.
Zhu Yinglong sighed and said, "No, I'm sorry to Shulan enough. I don't want her to do anything else."
"What if there is no danger?" Xiong Hu blinked.
Zhu Yinglong laughed in surprise and said, "There is no danger. There are risks in doing anything in this world. Someone can swell to death even if they eat."
"Li Niang means to include Shulan within our protection scope, which will reduce the danger?" Xiong Hu explained.
"What do you want to do? I just said that I am hypocritical. At this moment, you asked me to push Shulan again?" Zhu Yinglong frowned. Xiong Hu's temperament is similar to Ye Lianyi. He will do what he thinks of. The difference is that Xiong Hu will calmly consider the consequences, while Ye Lianyi is indifferent to the consequences.
"We are afraid that Wei Zhongxian doesn't want too many people to know about Wei Liangqing's eunuch. As long as the world knows this news, what should the world think? No matter how powerful Wei Zhongxian is, it cannot block the world's long mouth. If Shulan's sister stood up and told Wei Liangqing's atrocities at this time, Wei Zhongxian would have to knock down her teeth and swallow it." Xiong Hu analyzed to Zhu Yinglong carefully.
"But as soon as Shulan appeared, she is now a beautiful girl. Wei Zhongxian must force her to enter the palace. How can this be done?" Zhu Yinglong shook his head and disagreed.
"It depends on your ability!" Xiong Hu said with a smile.
"Me?" Zhu Yinglong asked in confusion, "What can I do?"
"The memorial of the King of Zhou will definitely not write down your dispute with him and his sister Shulan, because he doesn't want more people to know about such a shameful thing. You can write a letter to the emperor and then..." Xiong Hu suddenly turned red and hesitated and said nothing.
Zhu Yinglong was about to listen, but Xiong Hu suddenly stopped talking and heard in a hurry: "What's going on?"
"Don't you understand what you have done?" Xiong Hu broke free from Zhu Yinglong's arms with shame.
"What have I done?" Zhu Yinglong said with a confused look on his face, "I did nothing?"
"Diet man, don't you know what you have done to me?" Xiong Hu spat in a angrily voice.
Seeing Xiong Hu's shy appearance as a child, Zhu Yinglong's heart suddenly felt aroused, and his mind suddenly became clear. He instantly understood what she wanted to say.
