Chapter Thirty-Eight: A View from the Wall

came out of the palace to accompany Mrs. Situ to dinner, and Situ Ningbing was called to the study by his father Situ Xin as soon as he wanted to go back to his yard.

Situ Xin sat on a rosewood circle chair behind the bookcase, and next to him stood the eldest son Situ Jihua. Situ Ningbing stood in front of the bookcase, like a student who had been tested by his husband.

"You must already know about the things in the East Palace today, and Dad wants to hear your thoughts. In front of his daughter Situ Xin, he didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the topic.

Situ Ningbing raised his head, stared at his father with a pair of wonderful eyes, and said clearly: "What the daughter thinks is what the father thinks." Seeing that Daddy frowned and looked at himself, he added again, "Daddy is suspicious of King Wei, why don't you just say it?

"You girl, the older you are, the more unruly you dare to make fun of your father!" Situ Xin glared at her, and then sighed: "You are so smart, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse." ”

Situ Ningbing smiled indifferently, "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, so why should Daddy bother himself?"

"Today's incident sister seems to have expected it, when did you start to suspect King Wei?" Situ Jihua really couldn't understand that he was in and out of the court, and he thought that he was also a good observer, but Rao was like this, and it took a long time to see some clues about King Wei, and his sister had never set foot in the court at all, how did he see the ambition of King Wei's wolf?

"Hmm..."Situ Ningbing tilted his head and thought seriously, "probably since I heard that his nickname is 'King Wei Xian'." ”

"That's all?" Situ Jihua obviously didn't believe it.

"Big brother, do you remember when you were a child, you told me and the second brother the story of Yi Yin Fang Taijia?"

When he was a child, he explained to his second brother the allusion of Yi Yin putting Taijia in Tong Palace, and the little sister happened to hear it on the side, looking at herself with a pair of big black and white eyes, and her soft and glutinous voice was to the point, "Since Taijia is so absurd and unreasonable, why don't you just abolish it and then set up another master? Isn't the position of a minister a regression......? A series of questions made him speechless, and in the end, his second brother was not educated but was educated by his sister, and what was worse was that the second brother didn't like ......to read.

Situ Ningbing saw that he was thoughtful, so he went on to explain: "The first time I entered the palace, Concubine Shu told my father that I wanted to marry King Qi, and Concubine De was also present at that time, but in a few words, Dad dispelled the idea. It didn't take long for the Holy Lord to decree marriage, didn't the eldest brother think it was too much of a coincidence?"

Situ Jihua nodded, "That's right!" If Concubine De's mother and son don't have the heart to fight for the crown, why should they deliberately sabotage the marriage between our mansion and the King of Qi? It's just that the prince is afraid that with the support of our Situ clan, the more stable the position will be, which is not conducive to seizing the throne!"

"Concubine De's eyeliner is not only in the palace, but also in our house. ”

"How unreasonable!" Situ Xin slapped his palm on the bookcase, he did not doubt his daughter's words, and after passing through the East Palace, he also suspected that there was a concubine in his house.

"Father's anger is relieved, tomorrow the son will order someone to thoroughly investigate the mansion and find out all the suspicious people!" Situ Jihua was also angry in his heart, and his usually gentle face was also a little fierce at this moment.

"Why bother so much? Big brother, don't forget the battle of Chibi back then, Jiang Gan and Er Cai's meticulous work is indispensable. "Compared with her father and brother, she is much calmer, isn't it just a few fine works?

Situ Xin looked at the girl who was standing in front of him and smiled playfully, and was in a trance for a while, what did this girl learn in the past ten years? Before the holy decree came down, he had fallen in love with a young and motivated lieutenant in his army, the boy looked good and had a good character, although the family background was a little worse, but it was better than the simple population, his daughter married in the past, she was the head of the house, and she had the support of her mother's family, and the future of her husband's family was in the hands of the Yue family. The original plan was good, but who knew that a holy decree came down and disrupted his overall plan, and the most terrible thing was that he only now found out that his dead girl could not be a good wife and mother at all! Not only is she sharp-minded and plays with intrigue and tricks, but she can also pretend to be weak and harmless......

Situ Xin didn't dare to think about it anymore, he now felt a little sorry for the in-laws who he originally looked down on, the Li family's house was a little unpeaceful, and if his daughter intervened again, he didn't know if the Li family's cousin could resist it? Suddenly, he sighed that the providence made people, how good it would be if the youngest daughter and the youngest son fell apart! The eldest son, Lao Cheng, held a heavy attack on the lord and ran the family, he didn't have to worry, the youngest son was smart and alert, and with the help of the family, why worry about not being able to earn a family business! Even though there is a fly in the ointment, the youngest daughter has some flaws in her appearance, her temperament is naΓ―ve and stubborn, and she has two capable brothers behind her back, and there is nothing to worry about in this life. It's just that the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, the strong woman is weak, the younger son is not angry, but the younger daughter is too smart, and I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse?

"What does Daddy think?" The sweet and soft voice of the youngest daughter recalled Situ Xin's chaotic thoughts, and he calmed down before saying: "What you said is also reasonable, but since there are details in the house, it should always be investigated, and this matter can only be carried out in secret." As he spoke, he looked at his eldest son, "I'll leave this matter to you." Don't startle a snake!"

Situ Jihua bowed his head solemnly, "Yes!" Father rest assured. ”

Situ Ningbing felt that since he had said this, he simply said it clearly, so as not to waste his brother's efforts, so he kindly reminded: "I don't know about others, but there is a concubine by my side, and my brother might as well start with her if he wants to investigate." ”

"Who is it!" Situ Jihua was a little excited when she heard this, how long has it been since the little sister returned to the mansion, Concubine De actually stretched out her hand to her side so quickly, so isn't this Situ Mansion under her control?!

"Jade lotus. Situ Ningbing was straightforward.

Suddenly hearing this name, Situ Jihua was a little stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but admire, "Concubine De is really powerful, not only is her wrist more proficient in the art of attacking the heart!" In the past ten years, Yuhe's name is a slave, but she is actually half a young lady, and the minions in the house are all respectful to her. What's more, when she entered the mansion, Situ Jihua was still young and didn't have so many thoughts, and Situ Xin happened to go to the Mobei Army, and no one in Situ Mansion had ever doubted the origin of Yuhe!

"How can this be reasonable! My father and son have been fooled so much!" Situ Xin also knows Yuhe, the most powerful big girl beside his wife is dangling under his nose every day, he actually didn't find out that she is Concubine De's fine work! This matter has to be spread out, and it won't make people laugh and lose their big teeth!

"Daddy, don't be angry, if you feel unwilling to double your foolishness, just go back. "Situ Ningbing really doesn't think this is a big deal, there are so many smart people in the world, it is inevitable that one of them will accidentally fall into the way, as long as he doesn't lose his life and is not so stupid that he can't be saved, sooner or later there will be a turnaround, why bother with temporary gains and losses?

Situ Xin was originally annoyed in his heart, and listened to her understated tone, and couldn't help laughing, "You want to talk about how to fool you back?"

Situ Ningbing bent his lips and smiled, two shallow dimples appeared at the corners of his mouth, which looked playful and cute, "If this kind of thing happens in the East Palace, the prince will definitely not sing, King Wei thinks that he will inevitably get carried away when he thinks that he will win, I guess it won't be long before he asks his father to stand in line, and when the time comes, his father will blindly pretend to be stupid and make him anxious." ”

Situ Xin stroked a handful of beautiful beards under his chin, thinking carefully about his daughter's words, the little girl's words sounded like child's play, but they hit his heart. The current situation seems to be that the Wei Wang faction has the upper hand, but the Situ clan has experienced dozens of battles for the throne after three dynasties, and a conclusion has been summed up in the lessons of blood and tears: no one can say clearly until the last moment of the royal affairs, and it is impossible for the Situ clan to remain neutral forever in the struggle for power, so whenever this kind of thing happens, he will either simply disarm and return to the field for a period of time and then return to the court step by step, or he will polish his eyes and choose the master and build an immortal achievement! In the past, he looked down on the arrogant, arrogant and brainless prince, but the bad guy was a righteous crown prince, and the word "long" finally accounted for in the "chief", although the qualifications were not very stubborn, but he could barely be said to be generous and benevolent, and the mother family had no power, even if he ascended the throne, the Situ clan was a big deal to be low-key and a little angry, and the life was not the same! But the King of Wei is different, he has such a deep city at a young age, and the Bodhisattva face is a butcher's heart, you don't have a good end with such a master, and the end may be even worse if you follow! He didn't want Situ's thousand-year-old inheritance to be ruined in his hands!

Situ Xin pondered for a long time, and suddenly looked up at Situ Ningbing, "What do you think of King Qi?" The matter of the East Palace, the prince suffered from the seedling, but the king of Qi miraculously made a great contribution, and the originally inconspicuous prince became a model of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness overnight, and he couldn't see whether this was providential or man-made for a while?
