Chapter 279: Questioning
It was snowing heavily outside the house, and the sun was overcast, so a few golden candles were lit in the house, and the flickering candle flame outlined Li Jingting's figure, with a knife-like face, and eagle eyes that implied fine light, or the general handsome and cold, and he couldn't tolerate half of the kindness. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The only difference is that there seems to be wind and frost between his eyebrows, and there is some green stubble on his chin, which is more vicissitudes than the last time we met.
Xin Yi looked at Li Jingting, and Li Jingting also looked at Xin Yi. If the two had a tacit understanding, they didn't speak for a while.
Li Jingting only felt that there was a ball of cotton stuffed in his heart, which made him panic.
When he first saw Xin Yi's visit, no one knew that the moment he saw him, the tip of his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
However, he still has a cold face, and his voice does not have a trace of fluctuation: Since the Chongyang Banquet last year, this king admires the gentleman's manners, so he has a few thin friends, and this right to be a friend can be regarded as a chatter, which can be regarded as a boring solution to stay outside the city.
He solemnly tied his crown hair, selected warm tea for hospitality, and even thought about what to say in the first sentence, but what he saw was Xin Yi's "decent, the etiquette of a monarch and a minister".
Even the gift she gave was just a jade jue who couldn't find a trace of fault.
Li Jingting's face became more and more gloomy, and his words were also tingled: "Presumptuous!
This was suddenly clear, which surprised Xin Yi, and then he consciously bowed down and bowed: "The courtiers are out of order, please punish the prince!"
Xin Yi's "rules" made Li Jingting's words even colder: "Huai'an Junjun has really grown. In the past, I saw this king, but I never showed mercy. Now it is a mouthful of ministers and a mouthful of crimes, and the rules are all explained. ”
"Monarchs and ministers, the outline is always righteous. The courtiers did not dare to be negligent. In the past, she was a courtier, a poor woman, and her temperament was rough, and she thanked the prince for his kindness and forgiveness, so that she was exempted from punishment for dereliction of manners. Now that the courtiers have the mercy of the Holy Will, they are ranked among the fourth-grade foreign women, and they are exemplary women in the boudoir, so they naturally dare not ......" Xin Yi's tone was slow, and his answer was not leaky.
However, such a "rule" is praised by tens of thousands of people when it is put outside, but in front of Li Jingting, it is a word that pierces the heart.
"That's enough!" Li Jingting interrupted Xin Yi's words solemnly, "These words full of morality and morality, this king has to listen to them a hundred times a day, and the prince of Huai'an doesn't need to say much." ”
Xin Yi immediately stopped his mouth, maintaining a posture of bowing his head and looking down, and he couldn't see the slightest flaw in the "virtuous and virtuous lady".
Li Jingting's eyes became darker and darker, and after a long silence, he squeezed out a sneer that could not distinguish sorrow from the wing of his nose: "The chess game is treacherous, and black and white are turned upside down. But after just a few months, a person has become so strange? ”
The moment a thought arose, Li Jingting automatically cut it off.
Because he was too afraid. I'm afraid that the woman in front of him is no longer the one he knows.
He has seen too many things about Prime Minister Bai knowing how to press the sword. Especially stepping into the dye vat of the interests of the chess game, people who have known each other for ten years may also change one day, he is really afraid that the woman in front of him has been dyed black, and he will be as strange as a passerby from now on.
Li Jingting's face was still calm and breezy, but some tightly pursed lips betrayed his strange nervousness: "I heard that at this time, the Xinfu is in turmoil, and Huai'an Junjun is even more in the limelight. So after seeing the wealth and the glory of the peak, he has become the kind of person like others. ”
Li Jingting's cool tone spread in the room, mixed with the hot tea gurgling on the stove, and the snow hail floating in between the cracks in the window, which fell on Xin Yi's ears, which seemed a little unreal.
Xin Yi chuckled, a chuckle that couldn't distinguish praise and disapproval at all: "The prince used to only spit knives in his mouth, but now the fief is sealed in Huaiwan, and his mouth can bloom." What do you say that the same words, I want to come to the gate of Chang'an City this autumn, and the courtiers still have a covenant with the prince to drink dogwood, but as soon as the prince leaves Chang'an City, he will fall the chess game on the head of the courtier. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Li Jingting was stunned.
"The catastrophe in Xinfu is not long ago, and the root cause can be traced back to Wang Wenying's death. A strong man, but he fell from the second floor, how could he die on the spot?" Xin Yi said eloquently, not shocked, "Or is the incense in the kiln sister's house too intoxicating, and it has hollowed out Wang Wenying's body?"
"What does this have to do with this king?" Li Jingting became more and more puzzled.
However, his attitude fell to the bottom of Xin Yi's eyes, but it made the latter's tone more and more calm, that was like the calm of pressing the long sword in his hand, the more unwavering, the more sharp it was.
"There are two possibilities for Wang Wenying's death. One is the chess game itself, which is aimed at the courtiers. wanted to borrow the hand of the courtier's daughter and directly fell to death Wang Wenying. The second is that the chess game has nothing to do with the courtiers, but Wang Wenying is going to die slowly, but it was the courtiers who accidentally ransom the treasure, so they intervened in the accident. And both possibilities led to the catastrophe of Xinfu, a change that shocked the world. Xin Yi didn't look at Li Jingting for half an eye, so he didn't burp and continued.
Obviously, this question has long been familiar to me.
She tossed and turned countless nights, thinking about the calculations, and countless times at the gate of the independent mansion, standing in the place where the green butterfly had returned, reminding herself not to indulge in the peace of the moment and forget the initiator who was at large.
Li Jingting also felt the change in Xin Yi's mood, and there were some waves in his eyes: "What do you want to question this king?"
The word "questioning" is very inconsistent with the dignity of the monarch and the minister, but it was deliberately aggravated by Li Jingting and deliberately thrown to the women in the hall.
Xin Yi hooked his lips, and his tone became more and more light: "There are two possibilities, and the courtiers are always uncertain." It wasn't until the end of that day that it was the prince's royal soldiers who came to the rescue, so that the courtiers were convinced that the matter was set up by the prince. ”
"This king?" Li Jingting raised his eyebrows and motioned for Xin Yi to continue.
"Not bad. The great disaster of Xinfu is the key to breaking the game. If the purpose of the chess game is the courtier's daughter, how could he send his own soldiers to rescue him? The only explanation is that it was only Wang Wenying who died in the chess game, and the courtier's daughter was just accidentally involved. Xin Yi said lightly.
Li Jingting stared at Xin Yi tightly, and the night swelled in his eyes: "Huai'an Junjun's words are ridiculous." Even if the chess game is aimed at Wang Wenying, how can this king send troops to save you? You, who accidentally intervened, are not worthy of 500 royal soldiers, but this king still wants to fight the Wang family for you, is this inference too thin?"
"The prince's words are reasonable to put outside, but they are also ridiculous when they are put in the chess game. Because in the chess game, there is only profit. Xin Yi raised his head suddenly, and his burning gaze stabbed at Li Jingting like two small swords.
"I have accidentally intervened, if I lose my life because of this game again, and even lead to the extinction of the Xin clan, since then the interests of all parties are mixed, and unwarranted grievances are involved, the chess game will go in an unknowable direction. The prince is a smart person, and naturally knows how to save the courtiers and the Xin family, so as to control the chess game within a controllable range. ”
The unknown is always the most terrifying, and the troubled is always more troublesome than the intentional.
Rescue is not really rescue, but to control the "accident" within control, and what cares about is not human life, but one's own interests.
Xin Yi stopped talking, and Li Jingting didn't speak either.
There was a long dead silence in the room, just like the two of them had at the beginning, so dead that it made people stand upside down.
