It seems that King Chenliu gave Wu Zhongxian great trust and power, but in fact he was controlling Wu Zhongxian's army.
If it is found out, everyone will be happy. If it is not found out, King Chen Liu can use this to mention military expenses to Wu Zhongxian again.
When the time comes, he will say, "Look, I trust you so much and give you such great rights. You also have the help of land gods, but you can't find out, so you can't blame me."
Since you haven't found out yet, in order to live up to my trust, give me another batch of money!
On the surface, he seems to regard Wu Zhongxian as one of his own, but in fact, everything is scheming.
Moreover, it was still a conspiracy, with both pros and cons, making Wu Zhongxian unable to refuse.
Sure enough, there is no fuel-efficient lamp that can achieve this position.
Wu Zhongxian couldn't refuse, and of course, he wouldn't refuse either.
You come to plot, then I will plot and touch it!
…
In the back garden of Prince Chenliu's Mansion, two beautiful girls were sitting in the pavilion, chattering away.
One of the girls was wearing a emerald-colored pleated skirt with wide sleeves. She had a youthful and smart temperament, and her eyes were clean and simple. She seemed to have all the beauty in the world integrated into her.
Just seeing her makes people feel like they are bathed in the spring breeze, like the warm sun shining down on them, making their whole body warm and soft.
This is the precious daughter of King Chen Liu, the apple of his eye, the little Princess Chen Qingling.
The other girl who was with Princess Chen Qingling was Si Qianyun, the daughter of Si Changqing, the chief concubine of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Except for King Chenliu, the only exception for kings with different surnames, the titles of the Qin Dynasty are divided into twenty levels.
The title of Grand Concubine is the eighteenth level, second only to the Marquis of Guannei and the Marquis of Che.
In addition to the title of Grand Concubine, Si Changqing is also the Deputy Prime Minister of Great Qin. He is also a man of great influence in Great Qin.
Si Qianyun's mother is the biological sister of King Chen Liu, so she is also King Chen Liu's niece and Chen Qingling's cousin.
Si Qianyun's attire is completely different from that of the elegant and beautiful Chen Qingling. One look at her attire shows that she has a bad personality.
Her facial features are very delicate, with a pair of lively and long goose eyes, with few white eyes and many black eyes, making the pupils sparkle like black gems.
The nose is small but upright and three-dimensional. Looking at the light, the nose turns white and seems to be able to transmit light.
The mouth is small, the lips are moderately thick, and the lip shape is beautiful, but the deep red to slightly black lipstick is extremely conspicuous.
The most important thing is her pair of elf ears, which are three-dimensional and slender, so white that you can almost see the light pink capillaries.
Such exquisite facial features perfectly blend into the palm-sized face.
It made her whole person, just looking at her face, have an indescribable sense of charm.
However, she wore a red and black narrow-sleeved dress, and her hairstyle was not like that of a girl like Chen Qingling. Instead, she tied a pure gold hair crown with a headband with a large string of tassel beads.
The ponytail is long and flows down, just above the round buttocks.
From time to time, colorful fringed hairbands would flutter out from the middle of the jet black hair.
Overall, it looks like a bit of a charlatan, or a bit of a cult.
This outfit would be regarded as a non-mainstream bad girl with nightclub style in later generations.
In addition to her special dress, she also had a purse tied around her waist that was so slender that she could hold it with both hands.
The purses are all bulging, as if they are full of things.
If I hadn't known that this was Chen Qingling's cousin, I would have thought at first glance that she was a girl from Miao or the Western Regions!
Si Qianyun said excitedly: "Ling'er, what do you think? Do you want to have a big fight with me? Let uncle see what we are capable of."
She was beaming as she spoke, as excited as a turtle in a melon field.
Chen Qingling said helplessly: "Cousin, we'd better not cause trouble to our father. He already has enough headaches."
Tsk…
Hearing this, Si Qianyun was unhappy and said, "How can we just cause trouble? Let's... just stop talking. I have real abilities."
"If I hadn't been able to contact my uncle's witnesses, I would have done the investigation alone."
"Don't you want to find out for yourself who is killing your uncle? Don't you want to catch the murderer for your uncle?"
After Si Qianyun heard the news that King Chen Liu had been assassinated, she was so excited that she wanted to fly. Finally, she found the opportunity to take action.
Her role models have always been Ying Zhao, the empress of Qin, and Wu Wuyou, the secret chief of Black Dragon Terrace.
She dreamed of being like these two people, fighting hard, showing off her talent, and becoming a leading figure in the Qin Dynasty.
Unfortunately, her family never gave her a chance.
Now that King Chen Liu is being assassinated, isn't this the best opportunity to show his prominence?
As long as she takes action, catches the murderer, and finds out the mastermind behind the scenes, I believe Her Majesty the Empress and the Secret Chief will definitely see her merits. Then won't she be able to enter the court and become the third most powerful woman in the Qin Dynasty?
Originally, Si Qianyun was planning to investigate on her own, but she couldn't find any witnesses to ask about what happened, so she had no choice but to deceive her cousin.
Chen Qingling sighed and said: "Cousin, you should give up this idea! My father will not allow us to intervene. He is not even ready to let Mr. Chen investigate because he has decided to hand over the investigation task to other people.
."
Early in the morning, when Chen Qingling went to deliver soup and medicine to King Chen Liu, she overheard the discussion between King Chen Liu and Chen Yi.
She already knew that her father felt that the real murderer might be involved in the palace, and it was not convenient for King Chen Liu to break up with the palace at this time, so he was planning to find a scapegoat to investigate the case on behalf of the palace.
And this scapegoat was the handsome young man she saw last time.
Although Chen Qingling felt that her father's behavior was a bit unkind, she was a filial child. She couldn't blame her biological father for a strange man she had only met once, right?
"Someone else? What do you mean?"
Si Qianyun was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, and he asked vaguely excitedly: "Uncle is going to ask someone from outside the palace to investigate this case? Who is it? The Chongyang Order or the City Patrol Department?"
Si Qianyun felt that if this was the case, then she would not need to pester Chen Qingling.
With her status, she could raise a big banner and go directly to her. How could the other party not allow her to participate?
As long as she participates, with her ability, why not have the opportunity to shine and become a blockbuster!
"Little princess? What a coincidence! We are really destined to meet again so soon."
Suddenly, the two heard a pleasant male voice.
Chen Qingling looked up and saw a handsome man walking towards him with his hands behind his back. He was carrying a man with a graceful demeanor and high spirits.
"As expected, he is the one my father is looking for."
Chen Qingling quietly reminded Si Qianyun.
Wu Zhongxian's eyes lit up when he saw Chen Qingling, and with a "rippling" smile on his face, he walked towards Chen Qingling.
