Li Huaizhong stood up silently, his face no longer had the same smile as when he first arrived.
He took a deep breath, stared at Wei Changtian and said, "I hope you can keep your promise."
"This is natural, I am the most trustworthy person..."
Wei Changtian stood up, paused and then added: "As long as father-in-law doesn't talk nonsense in front of the emperor."
"snort!"
Li Huaizhong snorted coldly, as if he didn't want to say another word to Wei Changtian.
But after he took two steps toward the door, he suddenly turned back.
"Master Wei, let me ask you one last time...how did you learn about my cultivation disease?"
"If you are willing to tell me, I will inform the young master of the Liu family's plot against the Wei family in return."
"Eunuch Li, I have already said it."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "The secret must not be leaked, but..."
"But what?"
"But I have a way to help my father-in-law make up for his shortcomings in Yin and Yang. At least it's more reliable than sitting on the Dragon Throne."
"Um?"
Li Huaizhong's eyes widened: "What method?! If it is really effective, I can also tell you about the Liu family!"
"My father-in-law is afraid that he has done something wrong."
Wei Changtian smiled and said: "The disease of Yin Yang Kung won't kill my father-in-law for the time being, but the Liu family will kill me at any time."
"How about this? My father-in-law first tells me what the Liu family's conspiracy is, and after I confirm it is true, I can then tell my father-in-law how to make up for the yin and yang skills. How about this?"
"hehe......"
Li Huaizhong sneered: "Mr. Wei, don't you think I'm old and confused?"
"I don't know if my father-in-law is confused, but I'm not stupid anyway."
Wei Changtian did not give in at all: "Eunuch, you might as well go back and think about it carefully."
"...Okay! Mr. Wei is indeed very sharp!"
Li Huaizhong was trembling with anger, and finally decided not to argue with Wei Changtian here. After saying a few words, he turned around and walked out of the house.
"Young master, please stay. We will meet again later."
"Hahaha, father-in-law, then I won't send you off!"
Wei Changtian laughed twice and watched Li Huaizhong walk through the courtyard and out the door. Then he sat back on the chair and took a few deep breaths.
Sweat had already soaked into my back, and a gust of wind blew by, making it chilly.
Although he had been acting very calm and composed just now, in fact, his whole nerves were always in a state of high tension.
It is necessary to scare Li Huaizhong, but not completely anger him to the point of disregarding all the consequences.
He must not only put forward his own conditions forcefully, but also repeatedly test Li Huaizhong's bottom line.
One wrong move and the consequences can be disastrous.
This feeling as if a time bomb was being defused made Wei Changtian suddenly think of the negotiator in his previous life.
Compared with negotiators, he has more chips, but the "robbers" he faces are also more dangerous.
Don't ever do this kind of thing again.
He picked up the teapot and wanted to drink some tea to calm down. Only then did Wei Changtian realize that there was no tea in the pot.
"Yuan'er, change tea!"
After shouting at the door, Yuan'er quickly walked in carrying a large porcelain pot.
While making tea again, she asked in a low voice:
"Sir, is the man who just came here a eunuch?"
"Well, he is the current Ouchi manager."
"General Manager? This is a very big official, right?"
Yuan'er poured a new cup of tea and put it in Wei Changtian's hand, with a look of curiosity on her face.
"It doesn't matter how big the official is...suck it~"
Wei Changtian took a sip of tea and muttered with a bit of "public indignation": "You are not an eunuch yet."
Although Yuan'er is not as observant as Qiu Yun, she could see Wei Changtian's depression at this moment. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and said with a smile: "What's wrong, young master? Is that father-in-law making you unhappy?"
"Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked."
Wei Changtian rolled his eyes and lowered his voice and asked again: "Be sure not to tell anyone about Princess Rou'an."
"I know, sir, don't worry."
Yuan'er nodded and originally wanted to put away Li Huaizhong's tea cup, but when she turned around, she found that the table was empty.
"Eh? Young Master, where is that father-in-law's tea cup?"
"..."
Wei Changtian recalled the scene where the cup and the water turned into nothingness in an instant, and sighed helplessly: "He thought this teacup was pretty, so I gave it to him."
"Ah? How could anyone like this kind of thing..."
Yuan'er shook her head in confusion, and finally walked out of the room carrying the kettle.
At this time, Wei Changtian was drinking new tea and began to think about what he should do next.
He and Li Huaizhong are currently using each other at best, and their relationship is very unstable.
Although Li Huaizhong doesn't know that Ning Yuke is here yet, no one can say what will happen in the future.
Wei Changtian didn't want to tie his life to a eunuch, but for a while he couldn't think of any good solution.
Wait a minute... Why do you think for yourself?
By the way, isn’t there Chu Xianping?!
Half an hour later.
In the underground darkroom, Chu Xianping, as the fourth insider besides Zhang San and Yuan'er, met Ning Yuke, who had been scolded by people all over the world, and listened to Wei Changtian selectively tell the whole story.
.
It would be false to say that he was not surprised, but after being surprised, Chu Xianping only thought for a short time and immediately gave the first suggestion.
"Sir, the first thing we have to do now is to give an explanation to the court and the emperor."
"Explain?"
Wei Changtian was stunned: "How do you explain this?"
"It's very simple. It's really not possible to give them the princess... Then it's fake."
"Fake?"
Wei Changtian was puzzled: "Isn't it too easy to expose the secret?"
Chu Xian remained calm and explained softly:
"Sir, of course you can't hide it from the living, but what about the dead who can't speak?"
"..."
...
South of Shuzhou City.
While Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping were plotting how to deal with the aftermath, Li Huaizhong was sitting in the large study room writing a letter.
His visit to Shuzhou this time was not just for Wei Changtian, so it was not the time to return to Beijing yet.
However, the report still needs to be reported.
The letter was not long, only about a hundred words in total, and it roughly stated the "investigation results" on Wei Changtian.
At the end of the letter, Li Huaizhong concluded:
"Young Master Wei did know that Prince Shun intended to rebel, but he had no intention of participating in the rebellion, and he did not know the whereabouts of Princess Rou'an."
Put down the pen, put the letter in the special envelope and seal it.
Li Huaizhong stood up and came to the window, with an uncertain expression on his face, as if he was hesitating about something.
He knew very well that once this letter was sent, it meant that at least he would have no chance to change his words regarding Ning Yuke.
After a while, a whistle suddenly sounded.
"Pfft~"
The golden-feathered eagle fluttered its wings and landed on the window edge, and soon flew away again, heading far to the north.
It was midday at this time, the sun was a little bright and quite warm.
However, when Li Huaizhong watched the golden dot disappear into the sky, he suddenly shuddered for no reason.
