60. Chapter 60: Don't be impulsive
"I believe it."
"Really?" Qiwen was slightly stunned, although his reaction was not unexpected, but how could he be so happy, without the slightest hesitation?
"If one day, Master, Senior Brother Qian, and Master Fang all say bad things about me to you, saying that I am actually the work of the Third Prince, you won't believe them and won't doubt me?"
"That's right." The Emperor nodded, still without hesitation.
"Why?" Qiwen felt strange, and the wine all woke up, "They have been following you for so many years, aren't they more credible than me?" ”
The emperor teased the emanation on her cheeks, and his gaze was extremely soft: "I am so confused, so mediocre, so fascinated by a woman, why is it strange that I would rather believe in you alone in the world?" ”
"You're coaxing me." Qiwen turned over and lay on her back dissatisfied, not looking at him, "As an emperor, how can you trust anyone completely?" What's more, you also said that you are willing to sacrifice me for the sake of the country. ”
"Yes, I really didn't expect that after these short periods of time, I would fall from a Ming Jun to a faint Jun." The emperor laughed at himself, and also turned to lie on his back, not without emotion, "You said that night that the more you see me win, the more you will love me, it is true, I can hear it, what is so strange?" ”
Qiwen turned her face to look at him blankly, finally believing it. Thinking about it, when he came to ask her that question in a hurry that night, he had actually come up with the answer, he was afraid of becoming such a person for the possibility of sacrificing her, naturally he had taken her very seriously, how could he really bear to sacrifice her?
"I want to tell you, Fang Kui...... It is the person of the Three Princes. When she finally spoke, Qiwen's eyes stared at him for a moment, noticing the change in his expression.
The emperor turned his face to look at her, his face was still soft and calm, for a while, he didn't see any change, and finally the cold and resolute lips slowly opened a smile: "Just such a sentence, is it worth thinking so much about you to say it?" ”
"You guessed everything?" Qiwen was quite surprised, and couldn't help but stretch up her arms and come closer to ask, "No, you have long seen that I have hidden words in my heart, so you coaxed me step by step to lure me to say it. Nine is not far from ten, right? ”
"Yes, it's not." The emperor raised his hand and pinched the tip of her nose, "I deliberately tempted you to say, and I guessed eight. Nine is not far from ten, but those words just now are not to coax you, they are all true. ”
He sighed abruptly, "Don't blame me, I don't know how to be open and honest, and I don't know how to make others open and honest with me, it's really not easy to do this." ”
Qiwen still had the heart to blame him, she was surprised at this time. only to find out that he was a fool, thinking that he had seen through him, and he had also seen through King Tan, but in the end, he had already been seen through by both of them.
These two are really brothers, and her little caution is a pediatrics in front of them.
The emperor stretched the quilt for her: "The three eunuchs are indeed the people I trust the most, but in fact, I have also thought that if Yuan Ying wants to spy on my true thoughts, even if he controls all the rest of the attendants, it is useless, and he must start with the people in front of me." And among the three of them, only Fang Kui was the most likely to be broken through by him. ”
"Why?"
"Because he's the smartest." The emperor said, "Smart people will inevitably be a little more selfish and think about a lot of things." Wang Zhi is not as smart as him, although he is old and has a lot of experience, he is not shrewd enough to have different hearts. Yuan He's talent is not as good as him, even if he wants to have different intentions, he can't hide it, and it is impossible for Yuan Ying to win over this kind of person. Therefore, it can only be Fang Kui. I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I'm wary of it. Recently, I have seen that Fang Kui has something strange, and I am hiding some things that must not be revealed from him. For example, if you ask me to deal with this matter, he won't know. Wang Zhi didn't get any explanation from me, but I knew that he was also wary of Fang Kui and wouldn't say much about him. I haven't mentioned it to you because I didn't expect his defection to have anything to do with you. ”
Qiwen frowned: "According to what you say, you can trust me, is it because you see me stupid?" ”
The emperor smiled dumbly, and reached out to pinch her nose again: "Why do I trust you, you still need to ask me?" Do you think I have the ability to make Fang Kui also have a deep and unwavering affection for me? ”
"......" Qiwen has nothing to say, alas, if it weren't for what she saw and heard with her own eyes, who would have imagined that he, a stone-carved figure, would also speak so unrighteous and evil from time to time.
"Think about it, what did Yuan Ying use to lobby you? It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is not surprising to see that he has a big chance of winning and my side of winning is small, so it is not surprising to turn against him. ”
The Emperor said, squeezing her hand again, and a playful smile on his lips, "They are not like you, they feel that there is little hope, but they do not think of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, but come to me in time to have fun." ”
Qiwen's face was so hot that she buried her face in the quilt, gritting her teeth and complaining: "You are really, you are really ......"
It's really hard to do it, and I like to say something cheap. Hmph, I've recommended myself for pillows, what are you afraid of! Qiwen hid in the quilt and crossed her heart, suddenly lifted the thin quilt and threw herself in front of the emperor, and kissed her fiercely.
After saying these few words, she was in a much better mood, and she really didn't want to let him go.
Hibiscus tent warm, ** charming, how easy it is to wipe the gun in this situation The emperor knew very well, and hurriedly grabbed her shoulders and took her off himself and said: "Lie down honestly, or ......"
"How else?" Qiwen then asked.
The emperor was stunned, he really didn't think of how he could come otherwise, and he couldn't bear to drive her away at this time, not to mention that the important words hadn't been finished yet, so he could only choke on this breath and forcibly put her back in the position just now. This girl can't be provoked lightly, so he tried his best to change the topic: "You weren't beaten like this just for Fang Kui, right?" ”
Qiwen pouted: "You know everything, you know everything, what else do you need to hear me say?" ”
The emperor's eyes flashed with compassion, and his fingers gently brushed her lips and chin, and he said slowly, "I wish I could know everything. At the very least, knowing earlier wouldn't have made you suffer like this. ”
Qiwen was puzzled: "What else do you know?" ”
How could he have known all about it? If he knew what happened during the day today, would he be so calm? I'm afraid I'm going to be angry and angry, right?
The emperor was silent for a moment, and shook his head wistfully: "What Yuan Ying doesn't want me to know, I really don't know, I can only guess through your cousin." So, I still need you to tell me explicitly. Only after you have said it can I be sure and I can take action. ”
And so it was. Qiwen exhaled deeply, shook his hand and said, "Can you tell me the truth, do you think we can have a chance of winning against the third prince?" ”
Since it is "us" frankly, there is no need to bear with each other.
"About forty percent." The emperor spoke concisely and indifferently, as if he was not infected by the pessimism in these words.
Qiwen was already mentally prepared, but after hearing this, she still felt a little nervous, and sure enough, the prospects were not optimistic. She sighed in her stomach and said calmly, "I didn't dare to say anything about Fang Kui, not all because I was afraid that you wouldn't believe me. In fact, it's more because, when I said that this matter has begun, you will definitely continue to ask me, and I really dare not say these words later. ”
The emperor's eyes flashed, and his expression became grim: "He went to look for you?" ”
Sure enough, he didn't know about it yet. Qiwen nodded and said slowly: "He actually knows, the third prince, he guessed early in the morning that I have true feelings for you." ”……
She really didn't expect King Tan to expect this, according to normal logic, if he guessed that she had true feelings for the emperor, he shouldn't have any hope for winning her.
At that time, when she heard his words below, Qiwen's heart turned upside down, and she almost felt that the general trend had gone, and she could only try her best to maintain peace on the surface.
"As early as that time when I saw you in the garden of Ciqing Palace, I determined your heart for my second brother, but because of your rare qualifications, I gave you opportunities again and again. I thought that since you were a wise person, you should know what is good and bad. Now I still don't figure it out, shouldn't I give you some color? ”
Even when he said such threatening words, King Tan was still as gentle as **.
Qiwen's mind changed rapidly, and she quickly figured out that he couldn't know everything, at least not that she and the emperor were actually two hearts and conspired to deal with him together, otherwise, there would be no need to come to her face to say these words to her face, and she wouldn't just punish her with a small poisonous incense.
Since he came, it shows that he still has hope for her to be wooed. The purpose of using poisonous incense is to deter her, make her afraid, and then obedient. But since he guessed that she had a love for the emperor, why was he still confident that he was expected to win her, Qiwen hadn't figured it out for a while.
Looking at what he meant, it seems that she is swaying in her position, and she is here today to fight for the last time. Even so, I had to make a move to push the boat down the river in order to barely pass the test.
After thinking about it, she smiled calmly: "What the prince expected was right, as early as the Tan Palace, I heard the emperor say that I should choose my own way out, and I was moved by him, so I chose him at that time." But please rest assured, I am not a person who will sacrifice for love, between affection and life, I will definitely choose my life. If it weren't for that, the prince felt that this time, why would I hide from the emperor the matter of the father-in-law below and the poisonous incense? ”
If you want to deceive shrewd people, you must tell as few lies as possible and tell the truth more.
King Tan examined her for a moment, then smiled and said, "To this day, you are still not very honest in front of me. But those who know that they are afraid are still hopeless, and if it weren't for the fact that you still know that you are afraid, I wouldn't bother to talk nonsense with you anymore. I advise you to show your loyalty to me as soon as possible, or I am not sure how much patience I will have. ”
It seems that he doesn't believe her excuses very much, but he doesn't believe it completely, or he just deliberately says it to deceive her, Qiwen is full of emotions in her heart.
Why did he change his previous cynicism and suddenly use such extreme means, she was thinking about it quickly for a while, and in connection with what happened recently, she suddenly had a little eyebrows, because she asked: "Isn't the prince worried about Lord Du's affairs?" I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with this. ”
King Tan laughed: "Do you want to say that I treated you like this because I was forced by my second brother to jump off the wall in a hurry?" Okay, even if I'm a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, do you think he has the ability to deal with me, the dog who jumped over the wall? ”
Qiwen was very confused, it seemed that he had some support, and he was not afraid of tearing his face with the emperor, or in other words, the emperor did not dare to turn his face with him. She has been absent from the political stage for four days, and she doesn't know what happened in these four days, so she can't draw conclusions.
"What I don't understand is," Qiwen looked at him, "The prince seems to be sure of everything, so what else does I need to do?" Could it be that you want me to assassinate the king? ”
King Tan stopped in front of the table by the window, leaned lightly, folded his arms, and nodded to himself: "Well, you are saying this to test me, whether you have the intention of killing him." ”
Qiwen's two moves were seen through by him lightly, and he made it clear again, and he didn't dare to speak rashly for a while.
King Tan looked at her with a shallow smile: "Don't worry, of course I won't kill him, don't say I can't kill him, if I know that others want to kill him, I have to try my best to stop it." It's just that when he loses in the future, if he wants to kill himself in shame or something, it's none of my business. ”
He was already lacking in orthodoxy, and of course he was most afraid of giving authority to others. What he needs is to find an opportunity to force the emperor to take the initiative to abdicate power. Listening to his confession, Qiwen felt an unprecedented impulse in her heart......
"I suddenly wanted to kill him, and I immediately went and killed him with a knife." Qiwen opened her eyes and looked at the bat-patterned carving on the top of the dragon's bed, and turned her head towards the emperor suddenly, "You said, I really have a dagger on my body, how about killing him by surprise the next time he talks to me?" He's done this to you, you won't still care about his brotherhood, will you? ”
The emperor was far calmer than her, as if listening to a story, he looked at her with one hand on his head, and replied to the question: "You haven't finished talking yet, have you?" He can't just scare you, doesn't he say what he wants you to do? ”
"He said it." Qiwen said, "He immediately said that he knew that you were not a person who acted in a disorderly manner, and that you must have made such a big move to the cabinet this time, and you must have a formed plan, and asked me to find out what your plan is." I asked him why he didn't ask Father-in-law Fang to do this. He laughed and said that the best errands were of course for me. ”
The emperor nodded: "So you see, he also knows that he can't get any important news by relying on Fang Kui's spying, and he has to rely on you." It is precisely because of this that he is not afraid that you will confess Fang Kui. ”
Qiwen looked at him stunned: "Why does it seem that he knows you very well, and you know him very well, and I am sandwiched between you and him, but I am the most confused one?" ”
The emperor smiled and replied again: "That's all?" That's not enough to make you so afraid to say it, right? ”
"And then there's a little bit of a mystery that I'm afraid to tell you." Qiwen let out a long sigh and said, "Can you promise me, no matter what I say, or...... Whatever happens to me in the future, be calm and don't act impulsively. ”
When she dispenses with honorifics, she always takes things very seriously. The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at her, and nodded: "Okay, I promise you." Can you say that? ”
This promise seemed to be insufficient, and Qiwen couldn't help but hesitate: "Actually, these latter words are insignificant, and it has nothing to do if I don't say it." ”
The emperor suddenly stretched out his arms around her, pulled her body closer, and put his lips on her forehead with soft bangs: "Tell me, whether it's light or heavy, good or bad." You promised me to be open and honest with me, and I promised you that you would never act impulsively, are you still afraid? ”
At this point, she was worried about something, and the emperor could already see it clearly. What can make her panic and come to him to have fun in time must be a lot of excitement, what did Yuan Ying do to her?
He was not calm at all in his heart, just knowing that Yuan Ying had gone to find her in person, he couldn't be calm, but in order to give her courage and let her make it clear, he could only pretend to be calm to show her.
Qiwen's whole body relaxed, and finally began to tell again: "After he instructed me like that, I agreed to give it a try......"
The lower room was only a small fighting room, and the two of them stood in it and talked, at most three steps away from each other, Qiwen didn't want to spend more time with King Tan, she only hoped that he would leave as soon as possible, so she naturally kept her compliance as much as possible. Who knew that after finishing speaking, King Tan took two steps closer, slowly raised his right hand, and his slender white fingers brushed straight towards her face.
Qiwen couldn't calm down anymore, her face changed color, and she hurriedly retreated to dodge.
King Tan smiled: "You put on a good appearance to show me, but you don't let me touch it, aren't you afraid that I will be suspicious?" Dare to love your virtuous and virtuous gentlemen, all of them are kept for the second brother, in front of me, you have to take care of the festival for him? ”
