Li Huaizhong did not lie to himself, he did know something.
This is the judgment Wei Changtian made at this moment.
Because he saw Li Huaizhong's orchid finger that he never put down.
The little finger and index finger moved gently up and down, indicating that Li Huaizhong was very relaxed now.
Wei Changtian is not a criminal investigator, but he was a loyal lover of werewolf killing in his previous life.
Judging from his experience, Li Huaizhong is now in a state of "everything is under control".
Then here comes the problem.
What did Li Huaizhong know?
If Wei Changtian doesn't understand this problem, he will always be at a disadvantage because he doesn't know what to say and what not to say.
Li Huaizhong will definitely use this mentality to keep putting pressure on himself until he gets the answer he wants, and even achieves unexpected gains.
Thoughts kept flashing through my mind, and then they were analyzed and denied.
Every response, every word spoken may determine the future of Wei Changtian and the entire Wei family.
It's not like Wei Changtian has never imagined the current scene before.
But when it happened, he realized that he had underestimated the dangers of walking on a tightrope.
Is Li Huaizhong...really not deceiving himself?
Can an old eunuch who has spent his whole life in the palace really judge his inner thoughts through micro-movements?
At this moment, Wei Changtian even looked back and doubted his initial judgment again.
And the more this happened, the more confused and hesitant his brain became.
"..."
Three breaths, four breaths...
Time passed little by little, and the time it took for Wei Changtian to respond was beyond the normal range.
The smile on Li Huaizhong's face became even wider, but there was a hint of coldness in his narrowed eyes.
At this critical moment, Wei Changtian suddenly abandoned all the complicated thoughts in his brain.
Cut the mess with a sharp knife!
He decided to take a gamble based on his initial intuition and the most reasonable guess he could analyze...
"Eunuch Li..."
Suddenly raising his head, Wei Changtian looked back at Li Huaizhong without hesitation and asked softly:
"Your Majesty, is it true that the Emperor sent someone to kill him?"
...
The aroma of tea lingers in the main hall, and it is so quiet that you can hear a needle drop.
Was it really the emperor who sent someone to kill the prince?
Although it is a question, it contains a lot of information.
When Wei Changtian said these words, it meant that he already knew or guessed the mastermind behind the scenes, which further meant that he had already grasped Ning Qingyu's intention to rebel. It also meant that he actually "knowing about it but not reporting it"...
"Master Wei..."
Li Huaizhong's expression remained the same, but there seemed to be more interest in his eyes: "I don't know where to start with these words? Do you know that if you say this, you have committed a crime of disrespect?"
"Father-in-law, please stop playing riddles with me."
Now that we have started, we must go all the way to the end. Wei Changtian still looked directly at Li Huaizhong, chuckled and said:
"Since we've already said it this far, I'll just make it a little clearer."
"On October 21st, the prince called me to the palace and said something to me... I must have known about this, right?"
"hehe."
After taking a sip of tea noncommittally, Li Huaizhong did not answer directly, but asked with a smile: "How did the young master reply to the prince at that time?"
"Father-in-law..."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "Since you didn't bring an official to arrest me today, doesn't it mean you already knew my answer at that time?"
"That's true..."
Li Huaizhong put down the tea cup and finally looked away from Wei Changtian for the first time.
"But there are two things that I don't understand. I wonder if you can explain them to us?"
"Excuse me, father-in-law."
"Okay, the first thing is, why didn't the young master report the prince's intention to rebel to the court?"
Li Huaizhong shook his sleeves, his eyes seemed a little joking.
However, Wei Changtian didn't even think about it at all, and directly asked: "Why should I report it to the court? What does this matter have to do with me?"
"Prince Shun intends to rebel because he covets the country of Daning. No matter whether he succeeds or fails, I won't get any benefit at all, so why do I have to do such a thankless thing?"
"What's more, if I report this matter to the emperor, what if Prince Shun finds out and wants to take revenge on me?"
"There are no advantages but only disadvantages. Who is willing to do such a thing?"
"Father-in-law, does that make sense?"
"..."
This series of rhetorical questions made Li Huaizhong a little surprised for a while.
He originally thought that Wei Changtian would find various reasons to explain that he did not deliberately "not repay the favor", but who would have thought that Wei Changtian was also a tough man, and he meant everything in his words -
I just didn't retaliate on purpose. You can fight as much as you like. Anyway, I won't wade into this muddy water!
"Master Wei is indeed a straightforward person."
Li Huaizhong quickly came to his senses, gently touched his palms and said with a smile: "But now our family can't even understand the second thing."
"Since the young master already knows that the prince intends to rebel, why do you want to marry Princess Rou'an? Aren't you afraid that if the rebellion is exposed, the emperor will also regard him as a traitor?"
"Um?"
Wei Changtian was surprised: "When did I say that I wanted to marry the princess?"
"Mr. Wei, you just told our family."
Li Huaizhong took a deep look at Wei Changtian: "You said you had an agreement with the princess. If you remove her scar, she will..."
"Oh, that's it..."
Wei Changtian waved his hand and interrupted before Li Huaizhong finished speaking: "My father-in-law said it himself just now. Didn't I say all this just to fool you?"
"Um?"
Wei Changtian's words were a bit teasing, but after being stunned for a moment, Li Huaizhong smiled instead of angry, and asked sharply: "Hahaha, can you please explain once again why you want to remove the scar for the princess?"
"this......"
Wei Changtian suddenly leaned back on the chair and even crossed his legs.
He smiled and glanced at the old eunuch next to him who could take his life at any time. His expression was relaxed, but he uttered an extremely arrogant sentence.
"Eunuch Li, if I don't tell you, what can you do to me?"
"..."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
After a brief silence, Li Huaizhong laughed even louder instantly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Mr. Wei, our family can't do anything to you, but it's hard to say what the emperor will think."
"You killed Prime Minister Liu last time, and Mr. Wei handed over the two guards of the Xuanjing Division to save your life. If the emperor thinks you intend to rebel this time, do you think the Xuanjing Division can still be named Wei?"
"Eunuch Li, you can't say that. Who doesn't have a few ulterior secrets?"
Facing Li Huaizhong's naked threat, Wei Changtian's expression did not change: "Isn't it the same for father-in-law?"
"In the past two years, your practice of Yin Yang Kung has gone awry. Instead of advancing, you have retreated. Now you have almost fallen to the middle stage of the second level..."
"Pavilion Master Liu of Tianji Pavilion gave you a bad idea. He said that sitting on the dragon chair for an hour every day can help you maintain your state through national luck."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you really believe it. Every day at midnight, you go to the Jinluan Palace to sit on the dragon chair... I wonder if my father-in-law has ever told the emperor about this?"
"Boom!!"
"boom!!!"
The celadon tea cup shattered into powder in an instant, and the tea inside suddenly exploded.
In the mist, Li Huaizhong stood up in shock, staring at Wei Changtian with murderous intent clearly visible in his cloudy pupils.
However, Wei Changtian seemed to be completely unaware of this, he just sat on the chair calmly and continued:
"Father, I don't mean anything else by saying this."
"I just want to tell my father-in-law that since I have no intention of rebellion and I don't know the whereabouts of the princess, there is no need to inquire about other things."
"Eunuch Li..."
Wei Changtian raised his head and his voice was very soft.
But when his last words reached Li Huaizhong's ears, it actually caused the old eunuch who had reached the state of "overwhelming mountains and rivers" to stop breathing for a moment.
