Volume Three, Wings, Chapter 158, Three-Party Game
The four returned to Prince Wei's Mansion and informed Qin Junjue of what had happened.
King Qin Junjue of Wei smiled coldly, "This Qin Junze is really beyond my expectation. He is quite capable in fighting. In this capital, he seems to be a little too unscrupulous and writes all his thoughts on his face."
Come on, I really don’t know the heights of the world! It’s very suspicious of me to be pretentious.”
A sixth-grade master next to him whispered: "Your Highness, in fact, if you think about it from another angle, it is understandable that His Highness Prince Huai is like this. You think about it, the old prince seems to be a fast-talking person, and Prince Huai grew up under his knees.
It is inevitable that he will have some temper, coupled with the chivalrous spirit that King Huai may have cultivated since he was a child, he is a bit jealous of evil. Now that he has just returned to Beijing, he has suffered several injustices from his majesty and the prince, and some of his emotions are really normal. "
"But, will such a person really be beneficial to me?"
"Your Highness, there are advantages and disadvantages. This is relative. The disadvantage is that your brain is not very bright and you are not adaptable to people's calculations. The advantage is that you are easy to obey. Now that you are at odds with the prince, you can use it to my advantage."
"That's all. Don't worry too much about him. It depends on the situation. We must not reveal our faults at this time. They can handle their unhappiness themselves. Occasionally, I can go to His Majesty and say a nice word out of family affection.
, No need to be deliberate. Today it seems that this seventh brother’s wisdom is not simple. Maybe he is really capable and can help us fight against the prince. "
"Yes, His Highness King Wei. Who was sent to monitor King Huai?"
"There is no need to withdraw now, but there is nothing important, and there is no need to come back to report."
"Your Highness, if you don't withdraw, will you be regarded as the prince's person? What if he is eliminated?"
"Humph, who do you think Qin Junze is? He is King Huai, a soldier brought up by Qin Yi. If he can feel that the prince is staring at him, will our people be safe? Talk to me about this matter today,
He must be someone who knows me. He is a little unhappy and just reminded me. In addition, if he really believed that the king was hostile to the prince again, how could he go to the East Palace first? You really think he is stupid. This person is still a
Mystery, you can’t trust his words!”
"Your Highness, we have been discovered, why don't we evacuate?"
"No, just leave it there and forget it. If we withdraw now, it will show him our guilty conscience. If we don't withdraw and don't use it, maybe he won't take it seriously. In terms of martial arts and military, he
I have always been quite proud of myself, so just let it go. Even if it is really cleaned up, just pretend I didn’t see it.”
"My subordinates understand, Your Highness is wise!"
At this time, in the study room of the East Palace, three swordsmen were prostrating themselves on the ground. Prince Qin Junyu was sitting on a chair, reading some letters and memorials in his hands.
"Are you sure an outsider intervened?"
"Indeed, they are by no means the people who cherish the king, and they didn't find anyone else protecting him secretly. They were also drunk and unconscious. If those four people hadn't stopped them, maybe they could really do it without the temptation.
kill him!"
"How dare you make such big claims even if you haven't met me before? What I want is evidence!"
"His Royal Highness the Prince calmed down. The four people were also observing the figure of King Huai during the process. The three of us were also paying attention at the same time. Indeed, there was no movement at all. The two maids were so frightened that they cried and could not move no matter how hard they shook. The four people
It is estimated that they are the people of King Wei who are also testing King Huai."
"Hmph, it seems that your conclusions are almost the same."
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
"That's all, you go out first."
"Yes, Your Highness, I am resigning."
After a while, there was another knock on the door.
"Come in."
The person who pushed the door open was none other than the Crown Princess, the Chang Lingxian whom Feng Yu had scorned.
"Lingxian, you're still up so late."
"Your Highness, I went to the kitchen to make some ginger soup. It's windy and cold in the middle of the night, so I want to drink some to warm me up."
"Well, okay, leave it there, Lingxian, come and talk."
"Your Highness, do you have anything to ask me?"
Qin Junyu smiled slightly and looked at her with doting eyes.
"Lingxian, there are only two of us here, so we don't have to worry about so many etiquettes. It's fine. I want to ask you, are you a little dissatisfied with my actions today?"
"I don't dare, my concubine."
"Hey, I want to hear the truth."
"It was true at the beginning, but it's gone now. I believe in Your Highness."
"Well, that's good. I just sent people to intercept Qin Junze halfway."
Chang Lingxian stood up in shock, holding her left hand tightly with her right hand, sweating on her palms, and she was extremely nervous.
"What! Your Highness, how could you do that?"
"You don't need a few. I don't really want to kill him, I'm just testing him."
"Huh~, I'm scared to death. If His Highness is charged with murdering the prince, I will never be able to atone for my sins."
"Lingxian, what do you think of this person?"
Chang Lingxian was still in the scene where she was frightened just now and had not yet reacted.
"Your Highness, who are you talking about?"
"Of course I'm talking about Qin Junze, the one who bullied you during lunch."
Chang Lingxian felt uneasy when she thought of this person, but she was not a romantic vase. She was born in an official family, and she married the prince and became the princess. She was very wise, but what she saw today was beyond her imagination.
That's why I was shocked.
"His Royal Highness King Huai, how should I put it? On the surface, he is dissolute, customary, straightforward, and brainless. Everything is written on his face. He doesn't feel like a city at all. However, when I went back to my room and thought about it carefully, I still felt that it was not ordinary.
.Those who can make repeated military exploits can be justified in the past. After all, everyone has their own ambitions, but this is just not true."
"Oh, which point?"
"Brainless. He was too presumptuous towards His Highness and me, without considering the consequences at all. The kind of person who can deal with enemy spies in Minzhou without leakage should not be like this."
The prince smiled and said, "Lingxian deserves to be the daughter of the Chang family and the virtuous wife of this palace. Have you ever thought that he has separated many people. There are only four of us at today's dinner, not even his maid."
"Indeed."
"Then everything that happened after today attracted a lot of people. What is the most important thing that spreads?"
"Rumors typically use small things to make big things happen, and small things to make people look bigger. Of course, the worst part is the frivolous sister-in-law?"
"My people also found out that he came to the East Palace with gifts, but went to Prince Wei's Mansion empty-handed. No matter how you look at it, he doesn't regard me, the East Palace, as one of his own, and he doesn't regard me as his eldest brother as one of his own, but he still
It seems very biased toward King Wei."
Chang Lingxian thought about it several times and discovered something abnormal.
"That shouldn't be the case. If he wanted to be very obvious, he would definitely go directly to Prince Wei's Mansion first. Wouldn't this highlight his attitude even more?"
The prince gently touched Chang Lingxian's hair, "What if everything he did today was just for show?"
"Then his city is not that simple."
"This is what I think. First of all, he prepared gifts in the East Palace but did not go to the Palace of the King of Wei. This shows that he is close to the King of Wei, but he came to my East Palace first, which shows that my status is higher than that of the King of Wei. Furthermore,
He was on bad terms with you in the East Palace, and even looked down upon you. He must not have been trying to please you in the Palace of Wei. He should have had some different words and actions. Secondly, he had not set up any defenses. The people of this palace and the Duke of Wei followed his carriage.
, even if he tried to kill him, he was not prepared to fight back. In fact, in the final analysis, he should want to show his ability and thinking, and now he is neither biased towards me nor King Wei."
"But, didn't the old prince and your majesty train him for~?"
"This is the scary thing about him today. I am afraid that this person cannot be treated as an ordinary chess piece. I have to think carefully about how to deal with this new arrival, which is a bit troublesome."
At midnight in Prince Huai's Mansion, in Feng Yu's room, the maid had already finished washing him and was already lying on the bed snoring.
An old man suddenly appeared in the room like a ghost. It was pitch dark, without light or movement.
Feng Yu opened his eyes on the bed, and his eyes were as bright as sharp arrows, but he did not get up, and still lay still.
"Did anyone notice it?"
"Hahaha, Your Highness, if you were to go out, you might be discovered, but I took the initiative to come here to find you. Naturally, I avoided sight just like last time. Don't worry."
"Did you find anything?"
"The origins of your bodyguards are quite complicated. They are from the palace, from the prince, from the King of Wei, from the King Bingjian, and there are many others who cannot be found. If you want to replace them with your own people, I am afraid that the soft and slow ones will not work.
, we can only have a chance if we completely transform ourselves.”
"Then let's wait. We can't act rashly at this time. There are too many people staring at me."
"If you hadn't asked me to do it, I'm afraid it would be difficult to see this clearly. Your power is still too weak, and I'm afraid you can only be at the mercy of others in this capital. Your Highness, I think that your Majesty and King Bingjian may not be too sincere to you.
, Otherwise, how could I be so guarded against you!"
Yes, Your Majesty is too thoughtful. The old prince's attitude towards him is getting better and better, and he is an old friend with his master and Grandpa Yun. Why are you still on guard against me? Are you afraid that I will really stand in the camp of King Wei? So much
Years have passed and you still don’t understand me? What are you guarding against?
"Forget it, don't think about this. In this dire place, the only one you can rely on is yourself."
"Your Highness, don't blame me for talking too much. Your actions today will probably arouse criticism from all over the capital as soon as dawn comes."
Feng Yu smiled coldly, "How do you know this is not what I want?"
Xia Tianhe was stunned. He originally thought that Feng Yu only wanted to show his determination to stand with King Wei before he acted today. But now it seems that there are more profound meanings in it. No wonder he feels that this behavior is too stupid.
"What I did today is to show that I am not siding with anyone. It's better for both of them to give some sweetness and bitterness. What they think is their business. The more they think about it, the more they will naturally agree with me. Of course, the Crown Prince and the King of Wei
, the city is so deep, there is no way to think simply. Elder Xia, I have my own intentions, you just need to keep an eye on the people who monitor me, and by the way, mobilize some manpower or recruit a group of trustworthy people in case of replacement
The needs of the guards."
"Over there in Jinling City, the gate of ghosts is growing. Don't worry, Your Highness."
