Chapter 82: Seventeenth month of the seventh month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse
For Ding Xiu and others, it is the best thing for He Xie to become an official member of the Eunuch Party. There are many people in the world who criticize the Eunuch Party for doing all kinds of evil and causing harm to the country and the people. But most of the people who say this are because
They have no chance to become eunuchs. If they can really get Wei Zhongxian's favor, these people who spurned and despised eunuchs just a moment ago will cry and call Wei daddy.
No matter what era it is, power and wealth are always people's eternal pursuit. The only difference is how much you are willing to sacrifice for it.
Ding Baiying doesn't see it that way, and neither Zhou Tai nor King Xin sees it that way.
"Brother, Wei Wei is not trustworthy," Ding Baiying said with a solemn expression, "Even if he really stops King Xin, I'm afraid he will hide everything from us. To them, we are just tools that can be sacrificed at any time.
That’s all.”
All kinds of clues in the past two days caused Ding Baiying to have the same misunderstanding as Zhou Tai, thinking that the senior brother wanted to get rid of King Xin and join Wei Zhongxian, and instigated Wei Zhongxian to prevent King Xin from ascending to the throne.
But in Ding Baiying's view, even if the matter is successful, Wei Zhongxian is likely to silence him afterwards. After all, this is a major event that changes the world.
But Ding Baiying still had doubts in her heart. She couldn't figure out why her senior brother asked Zhou Miaoxuan to write down many small details of King Xin's life, such as what he likes to eat, his habitual spoken words, actions, etc...
"I know," He Xie looked at what Zhou Miaoxuan wrote in his hand and smiled casually, "Junior sister, after today, you will understand what I want to do."
Ding Baiying was silent, and there was only the sound of turning paper in the room. After a long time, she slowly said: "Brother, no matter what, I will stay with you.
He Xie's movements paused.
"I know."
Wow.
He turned over a page.
Xinwangfu.
After listening to Zhou Tai's report, King Xin was not as angry as Zhou Tai expected. The young prince's face was full of fear and his whole body was shaking!
"Lu Wenzhao harmed me! Lu Wenzhao harmed me!" He murmured, "He must have betrayed me in exchange for his glory and wealth, this despicable villain! How dare he do this? How dare he?"
"No, that's not right!" King Xin's eyes suddenly lit up, "I still have hope, I...have not lost yet!"
Zhou Tai knelt down, confused. He didn't understand why King Xin reacted like this. Because he didn't know about King Xin's plot to assassinate the emperor, and he didn't know that the "Treasure Ship Minutes" held in Lu Wenzhao's hand had any impact on him.
What does it mean to believe in the king?
He even didn't understand that in the descriptions of Xin Wang's previous teachers and friends, Wei Zhongxian was described by them as a powerful, dark, terrifying, and evil existence. Just like a child is afraid of the wolf grandma, Xin Wang's fear of Wei Zhongxian has long been deep-rooted.
Now, King Xin felt that Lu Wenzhao just wanted to hold on to him to protect himself and did not reveal everything to Wei Zhongxian. At the same time, he felt that Lu Wenzhao had betrayed him, and Wei Zhongxian just wanted to numb him by delaying the meeting until tomorrow night.
.
Two completely different speculations were constantly entangled in his mind, and the huge fear made King Xin keep looking for various reasons to convince himself.
That night, King Xin mobilized all the palace guards to guard outside his palace, while he slept with his clothes on and was frightened all night.
On the other side, He Xie asked Ding Baiying to stay outside, while he was in the room, constantly imitating King Xin's every move. Zhou Miaoxuan made corrections from time to time, telling him what was wrong.
King Xin gradually fell asleep until dawn, while He Xie finally made every move and smile look like King Xin at dawn.
Of course, there are still big flaws, such as height, voice, eyes, and many little habits that are difficult to correct.
For someone like Zhou Miaoxuan, who was close to King Xin and who had "candidly met", He Xie's imitation was naturally an imitation of a cat and a tiger, which could be easily seen, but it was still enough to fool most people.
He Xie also wanted to achieve perfection, but unfortunately, time was not waiting for him.
Once Wei Zhongxian and King Xin met, there was no way to hide the evil he had done between them.
And can he prevent the two from meeting?
Not at all!
He could stop Zhou Tai, but he couldn't stop King Xin, let alone keep Wei Zhongxian secret for too long.
So he simply didn't stop him, and while Wei Zhongxian and King Xin were confused by his series of actions, he took action decisively and cut off the mess quickly!
He was just not fully prepared, but what about King Xin and Wei Zhongxian?
They were not prepared at all!
If you fight fast, it depends on who is faster.
When He Xie threw the materials written by Zhou Miaoxuan into the brazier one by one and burned them, Zhou Miaoxuan suddenly began to tremble all over, his face was full of fear, and he could not stand still.
She had long been aware of her fate and knew that she had to die, but when death really came, she found that she had underestimated the horror of death.
The flames churning in the brazier made a "beep, beep, beep" sound.
He Xie burned the last page and stood up. When he turned around, Zhou Miaoxuan suddenly trembled in fright.
He Xie smiled.
He looked deeply at Zhou Miaoxuan, then turned and left.
When Zhou Miaoxuan saw He Xie walking out of the room step by step and closing the door, he gasped for air as if he were drowning and tears instantly flowed down his face.
Ding Baiying stayed outside all night. When he saw He Xie walking out, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Take her to Dongyuan." He Xie ordered Ding Baiying.
Ding Baiying knew that today was unusual, so she nodded with a solemn expression.
The East Garden is not a garden, but a secret cellar that only the two senior brothers and sisters know about. The senior brother hid Zhou Miaoxuan there, obviously planning for the worst.
"Youshi, take everyone with you to Fusi, Beizhen to find me." He Xie continued.
Ding Baiying's eyes were firm: "Don't worry, senior brother."
He Xie stretched out his hand, gently plucked a bunch of fluff from Ding Baiying's hair, and smiled at her.
July 17, the seventh year of the Apocalypse, was sunny and windy.
On this day, the sun rose as usual, no different from usual.
At least that's what it seems.
Looking at the rising sun, He Xie suddenly realized that this was only his third day in this world.
On the third day...
But he felt as if a long time had passed.
In three days, He Xie did so many things that both King Xin and Wei Zhongxian were affected by his every move, and they were about to face the "decisive moment" created by He Xie without knowing it.
"Uncle Master, get on your horse."
Ding Xiu yawned and brought a yellow gelding.
He Xie's eyes lingered on Ding Xiu's face for a while, and he suddenly smiled.
A smile as warm as the rising sun.
He has deceived everyone, so there is no reason why he can't win.
