Chapter 70: Counting is Counting
The sky outside gradually became dark, the clear air in the day was gone, and the cold wind blew unscrupulously on the edge of the window, cold to the bone. In King Rui's mansion, Liang Yinhuan sat on the table in the dim candlelight, and the feeling of exhaustion seemed to have penetrated into every inch of his bones. Suddenly, a gust of wind hung outside the window, and the candle flame in the house was instantly extinguished. Instead of getting up to light the candle, King Rui carefully looked around for movement, as if looking for something.
"You're here?" After a while, Liang Yinhuan said coldly, as if he had become accustomed to the other party's elusive whereabouts.
Qiu Feng slowly emerged from the darkness, and the silver-white moonlight shone on his three-dimensional side face, which was particularly unreal. He bowed and said, "The grass people have seen His Royal Highness King Rui. β
King Rui said in a stiff tone: "This king has already done what you said, and what should be said has been said to Liang Yinhao." β
"Qiu has already heard about it. The Lingshan Gang reported in the palace that the emperor had already taken action, and he would presumably make an order soon, and His Royal Highness could rest assured. Qiu Feng said with a smile, "However, Qiu didn't expect that His Royal Highness King Rui's acting skills were so skillful, and he couldn't even tell the slightest hint of a lie." β
This time, the whole thing was planned by Mu Qing and secretly assisted by the Lingshan Gang to complete a bureau, the purpose of which was to deepen the rift between the emperor and Huo Pei'an, and finally let King Rui have a chance to return to the court, and the so-called King Rui was poisoned and seriously ill is naturally false. In fact, they didn't completely frame and wronged Huo Pei'an, at the beginning, Huo Pei'an did arrange eyeliner in King Rui's mansion, and secretly did things in King Rui's diet. It's just that the eyeliner stayed in the house for a long time, and was recognized by Liang Yinhuan. Qiu Fengjian asked Liang Yinhuan to pretend that he didn't know anything, and while secretly guarding against it, he simply put Huo Pei'an's dirty actions in front of the emperor, making it difficult for Liang Yinhao to believe it or not.
King Rui listened to the other party's slightly ridiculous words, and his face was a little displeased. Thinking of the words he said to Liang Yinhao during the day, he couldn't help but feel a tumbling in his stomach, and even began to despise himself a little. Liang Yinhuan frowned and said: "If it weren't for the purpose of bringing down Huo Pei'an and exposing his bad deeds, this king would definitely not have whispered to that Liang Yinhao, and he would be a snake and a snake!" β
"Then I want to congratulate Your Highness, it means that there is something more important in Your Highness's heart than sticking to your true self, so that we can succeed in the future. Besides, His Highness is just a faΓ§ade, Qiu believes that His Highness's heart will not change, and you will always be you! Qiu Feng smiled very flatteringly.
Although Liang Yinhuan did not comment on Qiu Feng's greasy words, the meaning of Qiu Feng's words made him feel a little calm in his heart, and his face looked much better. Liang Yinhuan then asked, "Are you sure that Liang Yinhao will not make this matter public?" If Huo Pei'an gets any news, won't our drama be a goof? β
"Didn't the emperor order today's events when he left King Rui's mansion, and no one could reveal half a word to the public? Your Highness, you yourself have heard it. Qiu Feng said indifferently.
Liang Yinhuan was still a little worried, and asked, "Can you guarantee that Liang Yinhao will not change his mind?" After all, the two of them belong to the same kind of people, and they have been traitors for many years, so I am afraid that they cannot be shaken overnight. β
Qiu Feng smiled calmly and said firmly: "Your Highness, you can rest assured, I still have this confidence in my Lingshan Gang." It is precisely because the two of them are the same kind of people that we can take advantage of their mutual suspicion and mutual defense to find a way out for His Highness. β
In fact, Liang Yinhuan knew in his heart that the reason why the emperor was angry like that this time was not for his so-called younger brother, but because the emperor couldn't stand Huo Pei'an's own opinions, and couldn't bear that his supreme imperial power was ignored by Huo Pei'an, which was what Liang Yinhao really cared about.
Liang Yinhuan breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he remembered something, and asked again: "The ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens should have been attended by the emperor and queen, but the queen is sick at this time, I'm afraid it's too much of a coincidence, right?" β
"Don't hide it from Your Highness, this is indeed what we arranged. We have spent so much effort and made so many preparations, how can we let Huo Pei'an's daughter ruin this game that has been laid out for a long time?! β
Liang Yinhuan's eyes froze, and he looked at Qiu Feng's eyes with a slight chill. "Who are your eyeliners in the palace? Who can have such great ability? β
In fact, Liang Yinhuan had already begun to guess the identity of this mysterious person. The Lingshan Gang was able to steal the most confidential information in the palace three or four times, and even swayed the emperor's thoughts, from the original queen mother to go crazy, to persuade Liang Yinhao to agree to keep herself in Beijing, and now even the queen cannot escape the manipulation of the Lingshan Gang. The identity of this person lurking in the palace is too suspicious and incredible. It can never be as simple as just a little palace maid or a little eunuch.
Who could it be? Liang Yinhuan combed through the people he knew in the palace, and only felt that the more he thought about it, the more chaotic it became, as if it was possible for anyone and impossible for anyone. Liang Yinhuan felt even more confused about this person's identity at this time.
But Qiu Feng had no intention of answering this question, and directly refused: "It's better that Your Highness still doesn't know, the less you know, the more Your Highness will be able to maintain your sincerity, and it will not go against Your Highness's original intention of not staining blood." β
"Really?" Liang Yinhuan snorted sarcastically, his eyes blazing, "But what this king wants is real frankness and innocence, not self-deception, covering his ears and stealing the bell!" β
"Does it make a difference?" Qiu Feng asked rhetorically, "How can people in the world be truly frank and innocent?" As long as you crawl around in this earthly world, it is inevitable that there will be **, stained with some dust. The so-called innocence is nothing but self-deception. β
Qiu Feng's Zen words made Liang Yinhuan speechless for a while, and he lowered his head a little weakly. When Qiu Feng's words came to this, Liang Yinhuan also knew in his heart that it was impossible for him to ask anything from Qiu Feng's mouth. Then he changed the subject and asked, "So what do you do next?" β
Qiu Feng smiled heartlessly: "Your Highness doesn't have to do anything, just wait patiently." If you are too anxious, you will be suspicious. When the time is ripe, you don't need Qiu to tell you, Your Highness will naturally know what to do. β
Liang Yinhuan nodded, and asked again: "By the way, what is the progress of the case that this king asked you Lingshan to help investigate last time?" β
Qiu Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "The prince refers to the case of the former prime minister Yun Xu's rebellion?" β
Liang Yinhuan's eyes darkened, and he was silent for a while before he said with difficulty: "Yun Xiang is not such a person, there must be something strange about this case." β
"The helper has already instructed the brothers to investigate, but this case has been sealed for a long time, and the human and physical evidence of the year is no longer there, so it is indeed a bit troublesome to get to the bottom of it. I hope Your Highness will give us some more time. β
"Well, the king wants you to find out thoroughly." Liang Yinhuan nodded in disappointment, covered the sorrow in his eyes, and said word by word, "This matter is very important to this king, and I hope you don't treat it hastily." β
