144. Borrowing a knife to kill people
Ming Lan's fingers holding the tea cup stiffened slightly, and her slightly lowered eyes flashed with a touch of ruthlessness, but it was a fleeting effort, but it was already calm when she raised her eyes. He leaned lazily back in his chair, a leisurely smile on the corner of his mouth, "I did send someone to the imperial kingdom to see the county lord of Qingning." ”
Ming Jue was stunned for a moment, and his eyes became more and more complicated, "Lord Qingning, why can't Prime Minister Ming go to see him in the open light, and he has to secretly send someone to the imperial country?"
Ming Lan laughed lightly, and her handsome face became more and more gentle and clear, "The fourth prince doesn't know, Weichen once had a friendship with the county lord of Qingning in the monarchy, and admired her very much. ”
He lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea, and continued to say leisurely: "I heard that the ice velvet that grows in the extremely cold place can alleviate the root of her disease, but because of the harsh environment of the extremely cold land and the rarity of the ice velvet, it cannot be cured. It happened that Weichen passed through the snow during the battle, and by chance he got an ice velvet, so after returning to the Ming Kingdom this time, he began to send someone to send it to her. ”
Mingjue's eyes narrowed slightly, and a complex light flickered faintly in the depths. "It really deserves to be the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty who values love and righteousness, and even the county lord of Qingning, who has little contact, will try his best to treat each other well. ”
Mingjue's words can be said to be something in the words, but Minglan didn't care much, and the smile in her eyes deepened a little, "Although the county lord of Qingning is a woman, she has outstanding abilities. The Ning Shi Cavalry in her hand has always been known for its speed, and no news can escape their eyes, let alone in the realm of the Imperial Kingdom. If I really have any conspiracy, I'm afraid that with their ability, I won't sit here and chat with the prince now, right?"
"Prime Minister Ming is really eloquent. Mingjue laughed, "With one mouth, people can have no power to fight back, no wonder so many people are afraid of the prime minister, this king can be regarded as having learned today." ”
Ming Lan smiled slightly, and stroked the silver thread on the cuff unhurriedly, "This matter is related to the privacy of the county lord of Qingning, so the minister did not make a big deal about it, and sending people to the imperial kingdom was also carried out secretly." The minister couldn't help but wonder, how did the prince know?"
The topic changed too suddenly, so suddenly that Ming Jue didn't have time to react, and the smile on his face suddenly froze, making the whole person look extremely weird.
"Wechen has already answered the question raised by the prince, I wonder if the prince can help the minister solve the doubts in his heart?"
What a fool and pretending to be confused! It's a trap for him on purpose!
Ming Jue smiled coldly in his heart, pretended to calmly take a sip of the teacup in his hand, and slowly responded: "The prime minister said that everything that happens in the imperial kingdom cannot escape the control of the county lord of Qingning, so in other words, this is the border of my Ming country, and this king, as the royal family of the Ming country, how can he not know about the affairs in the Ming country?"
Ming Lan nodded with a smile: "What the prince said is that Weichen is confused. ”
"Now that the doubts in my heart have been resolved, this king will not delay the prime minister's official business and take his leave. Mingjue straightened his robe and got up to leave.
Minglan didn't open his mouth to deliberately say something to stay, and sent Mingjue out of the gate of the mansion all the way, and after he boarded the carriage, he leaned over and saluted, "Weichen sends off the prince." ”
The guards beside him looked at the carriage in the distance, and then asked: "Xiangye, you obviously signaled to Brother Ji to let him cooperate with the men and horses sent by the fourth prince, intending to annex the imperial kingdom, why did Fang just say that he sent people to the imperial kingdom to deliver medicine to the county lord of Qingning?"
"Mingjue This person is extremely ambitious and treacherous, and he is not a good person who can be taken lightly. Ming Lan looked at the direction of the carriage leaving expressionlessly, and a layer of coldness gradually appeared between her elegant eyebrows, "If I don't deceive him, it will not be the imperial kingdom that will suffer, but my Minglan." ”
The guard's heart froze, and he frowned: "Then why does Xiangye still cooperate with him?"
"There is an idiom called borrowing a knife to kill someone. Ming Lan glanced back and saw that the guard's face was full of doubt, and he didn't intend to explain, so he returned to the mansion with a meaningful smile, leaving the guard in confusion in place.
Why does he think that the smile on Xiangye's face is cheap?
Mingjue, this person, must not stay for a long time, otherwise sooner or later it will bring disaster to the Ming Kingdom, and even bring him unnecessary trouble. However, as the fourth prince of the Ming Kingdom, Mingjue's identity is too conspicuous, if he does it, he is afraid that he will become the target of public criticism, so if he wants to get rid of Mingjue, he can only borrow the hands of others.
Mingjue's wolf ambition is to unify the world and own the entire Canglan Continent, so as to become an emperor through the ages and a hundred generations. If you want to achieve great things, you must start by perfecting small things, and almost everyone knows that if you want to unify the world, you must start by annexing the weakest countries.
Among the six kingdoms, the weakest country is the imperial state, although there is the lord of Qingning in charge.
Mingjue wants to annex the imperial kingdom, why should he be thankless to stop his death-seeking path, of course, he has to help him.
Minglan returned to the hall with an unfathomable smile, only to find that there was one more person inside. He restrained the smile on his face slightly, and looked at the person sitting defensively, "Dare to ask who Your Excellency is, and actually trespassed into my Prime Minister's Mansion?"
The man sat lazily on the seat, and his slender and strong body was wrapped in a simple but luxurious inky black brocade robe. In the face of Minglan's question, he didn't even bother to raise his eyes, Gu Zi took the tea cup on the table, lifted the tea lid and sniffed it, then frowned, and threw the tea cup back in disgust, as if he had touched something extremely disgusting.
Ming Lan's eyelids jumped, and a big tic-tac-toe jumped on the door of his head.
Is this person disgusting the things in his prime minister's mansion in front of him?!
"Who is Your Excellency?!" he asked, holding back his anger and gritting his teeth, word by word.
"You don't need someone to know. The man in ink raised his eyes in response, his voice was cold with a slightly lazy texture, it was very nice to listen to in his ears, but the words he said were angry and not worth his life.
Another bright red tic-tac-toe was deep in the door of Minglan's brain.
Minglan thinks that her cultivation and control are very good. Although his face is often filled with a gentle and harmless smile, but his methods of dealing with the world are ruthless and ruthless, so the world calls him "Smiling Tiger", but he is still very modest and gentle in dealing with people on weekdays. However, the man in front of him, who had only met for the first time, said less than three sentences before and after, but he could easily step on the bottom line of his temper again and again.
Has his endurance been so bad?
"Ming Lan, the prime minister of the Ming Kingdom who covers the sky with one hand, do you want to make a move against the Imperial Kingdom?"
