Chapter 268: My Secret
When Qin E finished asking, Meng Jingke's expression changed.
"Since that person's time is short, someone will take over, and you must have a plan in mind. Qin E was slightly anxious, she did ask abruptly, but she was really anxious to know the answer.
Meng Jingke's expression eased, and he said softly: "It's good that you can think of this, but it's not something you need to worry about. With me, you can be a beautiful bride and take care of our home. ”
Sure enough, Meng Jingke had already made arrangements.
Which prince is it?
The second prince is the only son of Wei Guifei, who is Wei Changqing's aunt. It's about Wei Changqing, she knows a lot about the affairs of the second prince.
Wei Guifei favored the harem, but the second prince did not like the emperor. He is similar in age to the eldest prince, who has been brilliant since he was a child, both civil and military, and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In front of him, the second prince looked extraordinarily mediocre like a firefly.
By the time the eldest prince was executed for rebellion, the third and fourth princes had grown up and were more loved by the emperor than him, and the second prince was still not reused.
Qin E estimated that the second prince's heart must be very angry.
For the fourth prince and the fifth prince, she knows even less.
I only know that the four princes are very talented and do their errands well. One year, there was a great drought in the northwest, and many people died, and the four princes were ordered to fight the drought and make great contributions. The emperor was overjoyed and rewarded him with three rare night pearls, and some old ministers in the court supported him very much. Liu Gelao, who was as famous as his grandfather, was his supporter.
Unlike his two elder brothers, the fifth prince went to the frontier at the age of thirteen. Those who support him are military generals, but there is no place for military generals in the capital. Compared with the two elder brothers, the fifth prince seems to have been dragged to make soy sauce, and he has never heard any movement from beginning to end. The so-called court dispute refers to the struggle between the two princes and the four princes.
"Is that him?"
Qin E slowly spread out her palms and stretched out five fingers like green onions.
Meng Jingke's eyes shrank and looked at her silently.
After a long time, he asked, "How do you know?"
Qin E shuddered slightly, withdrew her palm, and clenched it into a fist against her chest.
"The second prince has the support of the Wei family and the Marquis of Jing'an, and the fourth prince is deeply supported by the ministers. The five princes have been stationed in the frontier for many years, and they have no power in the capital, and their mother is a palace maid and has no support from outside families. Such a weak competitor with military power in his hands, if I were you, I would ......"
Qin E stopped and looked at Meng Jingke tremblingly.
Meng Jingke's gaze was cold and deep, and his two jet-black eyes seemed to have purple light coming out.
"Meng Jiu. Qin E was afraid that Meng Jingke would look at herself like this, there was no warmth and no attachment, and the endless killing intent was about to hollow out her heart.
"How do you know that Jing'an Hou supports the second prince?"
Qin E stiffened, and great uneasiness swelled up in her heart.
"Isn't it?"
"You're right. Meng Jingke's face was expressionless, "But this matter is extremely secret, and it took a lot of effort for the Qilin Gate to find out, how did you find out?"
Meng Jingke's words exploded above Qin E's head like a thunderbolt, making her ears buzz.
Jing'anhou's support for the second prince was not a secret at all in the previous life, so she said it easily.
In this life, it has become an ulterior secret!
One of her natural mistakes turned out to be her fatal mistake.
"I, I ......" Countless excuses popped up and shattered, and Qin E couldn't find a single reason to explain.
"Who told you this? Your father, or the Li family?"
"No, no one told me that. Qin E was shocked, she couldn't blame the Qin family and the Li family for her unfounded suspicions.
"That's the Wei family, what Wei Changqing told you?"
"No, no, how could he tell me this, he probably doesn't even know. ”
"And how do you know?"
Qin E was dumbfounded.
"Yuan Niang!" Meng Jingke suddenly got up, "Do you know that the words you just said can make you be killed dozens of times with just one sentence." ”
It was the first time Qin E saw Meng Jingke so anxious, and even that time the two of them were surrounded by more than a dozen killers, they didn't show such an expression.
"You're worried about me?"
"Of course I'm worried about you. Meng Jingke frowned and paced back and forth, "Who else did you say these words to?"
Qin E hurriedly said, "No, I only told you." ”
Meng Jingke's expression softened slightly, "Yuan Niang, I believe that you have nothing to do with these people, but it is precisely because of this that I can't figure out how you learned all this." And the matter of the three princes last time......"
Meng Jingke's eyes were gloomy, "Could it be that you have a special ability, can divinate the destiny of heaven, and know the future?"
Qin E lowered her head, her ten fingers twisted together, and her snow-white fingers were red from being crushed.
"I don't know this because I have a supernatural ability, it's because I've experienced it once. ”
Qin E raised her head and looked at him, "I lived for a lifetime, and I was reborn after death. I told you what I experienced in the previous life, the affairs of the third prince and the second prince. ”
"Haven't you always been curious, why do I hate the Jing'an Marquis Mansion so much?" Qin E trembled slightly, "Because in the previous life, I was calculated by the Fang family and the old lady, and was forced to marry your younger brother Meng Jingyi. Min asked me to strip me naked and forced me to have sex with your brother. I was drugged and couldn't move, and there was no way to escape, so Nianxi, who came to save me, set fire to the wedding room. ”
"I was burned to death in the Jing'an Hou Mansion. ”
"The flames were so hot that every inch of my skin hurt. Smoke choked into his throat, and his body seemed to be on fire. The meat is charred and has a mushy taste. Nianxi lay on top of me and burned into a fireball. And I couldn't move, I couldn't hug her. ”
Qin E hugged her arms tightly, she thought she had forgotten, but at this time she realized that those heart-wrenching pains could not be forgotten at all.
Every hair, every inch of skin carries a memory, and every time I think of it, the pain comes back again.
"Meng Jingke, are you afraid of me?"
Qin E didn't dare to look into his eyes, for fear of seeing his horror and disgust.
She was afraid that Meng Jingke would treat her as a monster.
The room was silent, Meng Jingke didn't speak, and Qin E's heart slowly sank to the bottom with time.
It was an abyss called despair.
"Meng Jingke, in ten days, the emperor will summon the five princes back to Beijing, you must stop him. In the last life, he was edicted to return to Beijing, but he lost his honor in front of the palace and was demoted by the emperor to guard the imperial mausoleum. His henchmen in the Southwestern Army killed the officials who were escorting him and took them away. The emperor convicted him of treason, and the second prince led 30,000 soldiers and horses to chase and kill, and beheaded the fifth prince under the horse......"
"After the death of the fifth prince, the Southwest Army and many generals who supported him in the capital were purged. ”
"You have to be careful. ”
Even if he is treated as a monster, disgusted and feared, he still has to tell him what he knows.
As long as he can be safe.
One tear after another fell, poking a tear on the ground.
