A flash of surprise flashed across Wen Xiuyi's eyes, and then she laughed briefly: "It's ridiculous! Which powerful family can drive me!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Mingwei clapped his hands softly: "Ah, you really didn't really seek refuge with the second prince."
Wen Xiuyi was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "Are you trying to trick me?"
Ming smiled and said: "Otherwise? Do you think I really have a heart-to-heart talk with you when I say I'll talk to you while looking at the flowers and snow? Miss Wen looks smart. Could it be that she's like the second prince? There are so many beautiful things outside.
,in..."
"Are you calling me a fool?" Wen Xiuyi asked sharply.
"I didn't say that," Ming denied with a smile, and when her expression had just calmed down, he immediately followed up, "The straw bag just looks unattractive, but in fact it's so warm when pillowed on it! How can I use a casual metaphor? That would be too disrespectful.
What a fool!"
"You, you..." Wen Xiuyi's face gradually turned white and red, her body trembled slightly, and she almost threw her head back in anger.
Seeing that she couldn't bear to be provoked, Mingwei couldn't say any more exciting words. Miss Wen looked like she was not in good health. Wouldn't it be a pity if her anger came out? Forget it, just bear with it!
Mingwei decided to be a kinder person and lowered her voice: "Okay, okay, let's not get entangled in trivial matters. I have been wandering around in the world for the past few years, and it is rare to see a master like Miss Wen. It's really hard not to have a good chat.
What a pity for this fate."
Wen Xiuyi closed her lips tightly, not wanting to talk to her.
Mingwei was very interested and found another topic: "Since you are not the second prince, then where are you from? It's not a small favor to be able to ask you! I see that Concubine Hui and the second prince both have the same look on their faces.
You smart idiot must not know your true origin. The people of Wumen think very highly of themselves. The only one who can ask you to take such a big risk and come to Yunjing to cause trouble is the Nanchu royal family, right? Hey, I'll give it to you.
How much?"
Wen Xiuyi didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but she spoke so seriously that she couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to pay attention to those stinky things!"
"Oh!" Mingwei heard it again, "You didn't completely object. It seems to be related to Nanchu. But judging from your tone, you look down on the Nanchu royal family, so the people who instigated you are not them. Hmm.
, is it because of friendship that you look down on money like this?"
Wen Xiuyi's eyes flickered and she said angrily: "You're probing me again!"
Ming smiled and said calmly: "Yes! Didn't I tell you before? Miss Wen doesn't have to say anything if she doesn't want me to find out the information. I can't do anything to you, right?"
Wen Xiuyi snorted coldly, showing some hesitation.
This sounds right, but she doesn't want to follow Mingwei's advice...
So confused!
Mingwei observed his words and expressions and smiled silently.
It turns out that this Miss Wen has a backbone. She doesn't like to do what others say, even if what they say makes sense.
Suddenly I feel a little cute!
She checked the time and then looked up in the direction of the observation tower: "It's been so long and they haven't come here. It seems that your people have already launched their attack? Well, the clouds over there are gathering and not dissipating.
Snow..."
There is a peak above the observation tower, and the geothermal heat does not extend there, just like the mountain forest on the other side, where snow is piled up on the top of the mountain.
Normally, the white-capped mountains are one of the beautiful sights, but now it seems that they are a source of crisis.
Wen Xiuyi finally showed a proud look: "How about it? If you want to keep me, then keep me! Later you will be able to see the beauty of the avalanche. Broken ice and chaotic snow roaring past, no matter how capable you are,
There is no way to escape the mighty power of heaven and earth. When the time comes, Northern Qi will be in mourning!"
Ah, it feels so good to win over her! How about it, it's your turn to be so angry, right?
Wen Xiuyi looked towards her proudly. Unexpectedly, she found that Mingwei was looking at her strangely.
"What?" What does it mean to look at her like that?
Ming smiled and asked: "Miss Wen, why do you think I'm here to save the emperor?"
Wen Xiuyi was stunned for a moment, unable to follow her train of thought.
Mingwei continued slowly: "Why do you think I want the emperor to live?"
"You..." Her train of thought temporarily stopped.
Mingwei said: "Don't forget the life experience of King Yue. If the emperor dies here and the eldest prince and the second prince are done playing, should he be happy?"
Wen Xiuyi thought about what she said and her face gradually turned pale.
From a personal grudge point of view, it is reasonable for the King of Yue to be resentful towards the emperor after he missed the prince. Looking at the overall situation, the imperial family of Qi was already sparsely populated. Once the emperor and the two princes died, the imperial family was depleted.
Only the third prince, King An, can take charge of the country. But King An's temperament...
"Have you figured it out?" Ming smiled and said, "I should thank you! With the honor, the King of Yue couldn't do anything even if he wanted to. He was obviously responsible for opening up the territory, but when he came back to the capital, he could only pretend to be crazy. You said, we
Do you want the emperor to live? If he lives a shorter life, it will only be good for us, and there will be no harm."
Wen Xiuyi's breath was suffocated, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You are using me?!"
"What do you mean? I didn't do anything. It was you who came up with this plan. Let me guess, since you took action, then the capital also took action, right? Well, if you can kill King An in one go
, it saved us a lot of trouble! None of the emperor and the three adult princes were left, and the remaining two infants were unable to do anything. The imperial family had nothing to sustain, so it seemed natural to replace one of them to become the emperor!
Moreover, he can also use this incident to carry out sweeping raids, eliminate dissidents, and truly hold the state of Qi in his hands. Miss Wen, you shouldn't doubt that he will be more accomplished as emperor than the second prince An Wang and his like? This pair
It doesn’t seem to be good news for Nanchu."
Wen Xiuyi couldn't believe it and shouted: "That's why you've been waiting for us..."
"Yes!" Mingwei interrupted her, raising her head slightly with contemptuous eyes, "You are stirring up trouble in the name of the second prince, but you are actually making wedding clothes for us. I told you before, you want to trap us
I, I also want to trap you. When the dust settles and the emperor dies, this Qi will be our Qi!"
"you--"
Just when Wen Xiuyi said one word, a rumbling sound suddenly came from her ears.
The two turned around to look, but the snow on the top of the mountain had finally slipped.
Although the snow in Xiushan is not as heavy as in the northwest, the avalanches are equally earth-shattering.
Wen Xiuyi looked pale, and for a moment, she didn't know whether she should expect success or failure.
Success was considered as completing her plan, but it seemed to satisfy Mingwei.
If it fails, then why did she come to Beiqi this time?
In this tangled mood, time passed little by little, and night fell. (To be continued)
