Chapter 116: Can't Laugh

Facing Liu Xun's questioning, Ji Yao quickly had an answer in her heart, Liu Xun didn't like Zhu Shang, and felt that Zhu Shang had another purpose, so naturally she couldn't talk to him about it, but she hesitated when the words came to her mouth. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

It doesn't matter if he says it, Liu Xun won't believe it, but it's better to tell the truth, Ji Yao met his gaze and nodded: "The emperor's tomb was blown up by Zhu Shang, and the gunpowder was raised by the Chang family's treasury......"

"What! You actually helped him blow up the Emperor's Mausoleum? Crazy! Liu Xun was shocked to cut off her words, but Ji Yao shook his head with a smile on his face, "He did this to bring down the East Palace, and the East Palace will soon become the object of suspicion of everyone, isn't this a good thing for you?" ”

"It's up to him and Donggong to fight to the death, you watch from the wall, and reap the benefits of the fisherman, no matter from which point of view, it is a really good thing."

Liu Xun was so blocked by her words that he was speechless for a while, the anxiety on his face slowly faded, replaced by worry, and sighed lightly: "I'm worried about you, the prince is insidious and good at stabbing in the back, and that Zhu Shang, who knows how big his hole cards are, you play with them in the palm of your hand, how can you be sure that you are not playing between the palms of their hands?" ”

"Everyone is in the quagmire, and it doesn't matter who pulls whom, don't talk about this, I have something very important to tell you." Ji Yao said and reached for the letter hidden in his cuff.

Liu Xun was already shocked, and when he heard her say that there were more important things, he hurriedly raised his heart to his throat and waited anxiously.

He was stunned to find that he was calm and shocked, as long as he encountered Ji Yao's matter, he couldn't make the most correct and reasonable judgment many times, maybe King Ding was right, he had lost his mind in front of Ji Yao.

"No, here you go."

Liu Xun's gaze paused on the paper ball handed over by Ji Yao, and carefully took it and opened the crumpled letterhead, and the already uncomfortable brow was tightly twisted in one place at this moment.

In this letter, it is written that Shen Zhaoshou, the second son of the Shen family, failed to do business, and owed huge amounts of money in Jinling, Huyang, and Chenzhou, and many creditors rushed thousands of miles to collect debts.

The heavy debts could not be paid off by the strength of the Shen family, Shen Qingzhi thought about it and came up with a good way to let Shen Wenshou, the eldest son of the Shen family, marry Chang Jiyao, and now he was planning to ask the emperor for marriage on the grounds of his hard work on the battlefield in the past twenty years.

After reading the letter, Liu Xun's hands trembled slightly, and his expression seemed a little broken, very unlike him on weekdays, Ji Yao couldn't help but stretch out his hand and shake it in front of his eyes, and asked, "What's wrong?" It's urgent, but I can handle it, trust me. ”

Ji Yao's words, but Liu Xun didn't listen to a few words, what shocked him was not that the Shen family was in a hurry to marry Ji Yao, but the truth about how the Shen family went bankrupt.

A few days ago, many foreign businessmen suddenly came to Dingwang's mansion, and he overheard Dingwang and foreign businessmen talking about the shops in Huyang and Chenzhou outside the hall, and he didn't go to his heart at that time.

It's just that in retrospect at this moment, it is not difficult to understand why when he approached the hall, a trace of panic flashed on King Ding's face, which is rarely seen, and why those foreign merchants hurriedly said goodbye.

It turned out that all this was premeditated, in order to force Ji Yao to give up supporting the prince, but King Ding never expected that the East Palace would make a move at this time and grab people together with the Shen family, and the situation became delicate.

"Liu Xun? Liu Xun! ”

Ji Yao tilted his head and looked at the person in front of him incredulously, seeing that he finally came back to his senses and met his gaze, he said seriously: "I hope you can help me check the Shen family......"

"What to look for? You're saying you're going to find out the mastermind behind this? Liu Xun looked at her with a pair of eyes, holding her breath at the moment, and her body didn't dare to move.

Ji Yao never thought that there was a mastermind behind this matter, she just regarded it as an accident, and when Liu Xun mentioned it like this, her expression tensed up, and she faintly felt a little afraid.

"Mastermind? What do you mean by that? ”

Liu Xun was also a little surprised when he heard her answer, quickly controlled the emotions on his face, and said lightly: "I'm just a conjecture, if it's not to investigate the mastermind, then what do you want to investigate?" ”

"The Shen family has always been neutral in the DPRK and China, and has never participated in any party struggles, but I always feel that even if the water is in the sewage, I don't want to stand clean! You check for me, can the Shen family contact the party in private? Which ministers did you have close contact with? Did you cultivate a staff doorman and a secret guard for the dead? More importantly, have large quantities of weapons been purchased privately? ”

Ji Yao's thoughts were well-organized and very clear, and Liu Xun couldn't help but nod his head secretly in admiration when he heard this, but he joked on his face: "You want me to clear up the three generations of the Shen family, this is not a simple matter." ”

"It's really not easy for others, but who are you, Liu Xun? King Ding's most powerful arm, almost everything has been handled by you over the years, and the Shen family is just a trivial matter for you. Ji Yao winked at him as she spoke, but Liu Xun secretly broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't laugh.

Although he learned about Ji Yao's amnesia, Ji Yao regained control of the situation in just a few days, which made Liu Xun very uneasy, and at this moment, he heard that there seemed to be another meaning in her words, and he didn't know how to answer in an instant.

"Last time, you didn't allow me to mention that matter, and you didn't want me to have such thoughts......" Ji Yao suddenly spoke, but the words made Liu Xun confused, and she was wondering, and heard her step forward and continue, "I promise you to give up that kind of thought, but you also have to promise me, don't wait until King Ding ascends the throne and then choose to retreat, when the prince's momentum comes down, we will leave, okay?" ”

Only then did Liu Xun know that the thought in Ji Yao's mouth meant that she wanted to support herself to replace King Ding or even take the position of the crown prince, and she was finally relieved to see her let go of this idea.

But listening to her naΓ―ve idea of wanting to escape, and thinking that she was extremely cute, I wanted to refute her, paused, and finally followed her meaning and said: "Okay, I promise you, if there is such an opportunity to leave this place, I will not hesitate to take you away." ”

The hesitation in the depths of Liu Xun's eyes did not escape Ji Yao's eyes, she stared at the person in front of her tightly, smiling like a flower, but secretly thinking in her heart: Since you are so reluctant to leave Dingwang, then I have to make an obstacle and force you to leave. Otherwise, with your nature, you will definitely be planted in the hands of the king in the future!
