The crown prince still had a smile on his face, laughed lightly a few times, and then calmly sat down on the chair next to him, "Please take a seat, this prince wants to talk to His Majesty." ”

Seeing that he even saw his identity, Li Wei stopped pretending, but her mind was like a storm transiting: Shame on you, in the eyes of the prince today, he is the fool.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has such powerful eyes, I really don't know how you can see it." Li Wei's face has been modified by Ding Da's makeup, even if she stands in front of Guan Qianyi and doesn't say a word, he may not be able to see it, and this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really hidden, and the water of the Golden Palace, she only feels a little deep now.

"Your Majesty, the unique mark on your body has always been forgotten to hide." He pointed to the position of his neck on the right side, and Li Wei realized his negligence. However, such a private matter, except for Mama Bi and Guan Qianyi, Duo Neng around her probably didn't know, how did this prince know?

"Your Golden Palace is too poor, this eunuch uniform is so thin, it exposes our necks, and eunuchs are too prone to colds in winter." Li Wei was not convinced, and found a reason to convict the eunuch.

"Hehe," the prince laughed again, but this time the laughter was not at all stupid, but full of the low and bewildering power of mysterious temptation, "Your Majesty, there is no malice in this palace. Moreover, this is also the first time that this palace has taken the initiative to expose its true side in front of people. ”

Li Wei blinked, "That's interesting." Then why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince detain me to talk in this dark room? ”

"It's safe here, and you're safe with me."

Knowing that he was concerned about the exposure of his identity, she understood his intentions, "So, what does the prince want to talk to me about?" ”

Hearing that she called herself me, the momentum immediately became a little coercive, and he smiled lightly, "Your Majesty, I guess you already know the current situation in the Xiyu Kingdom. The position of the palace is not very good now, and after being a foolish prince for more than ten years, the people know that this prince has not been around for a long time, especially after the regent of Beichen returned to China. ”

He paused, "So, Prince Ben, I want to make a deal with Your Majesty." ”

"Tell me about it." Li Wei knew that he wanted to cooperate, and she didn't want to have too many conflicts with Xi Yan, if she could solve this matter from the inside, she would naturally be happy. However, she is just more curious, what hole cards does he have as a foolish prince to negotiate a deal with her, and if he is really powerful, why did he hide it for so long?

"Before we talk about the deal, there are some things that the palace needs to understand what His Majesty means."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to be polite, please speak."

"Your Majesty came to Xiyi this time, is the purpose of helping my eldest brother win the position of the prince of Xiyi, or is there another purpose?"

"I'm just trying to get my man back, and if my purpose changes halfway, it's because of the situation." Li Wei couldn't grasp the meaning of his question, but one thing was clear, the stupid prince in the eyes of the world in front of him had been hidden for so many years, if it wasn't for survival or the throne, he didn't have to do it at all.

"Your Majesty's answer is very satisfying, then this palace can be understood as if the eldest brother wants to get the throne, His Majesty will also help with all his might, right?"

Li Wei nodded frankly, "That's right." Still, I know he doesn't have that in mind at all. ”

The prince was silent, and after a while, "There are many people who are interested in this position but never show it, such as the main palace." So, this palace can't take your word for it. ”

Li Wei shrugged, "That's right, but I have to make this clear to you, otherwise we will start to have a conflict point before we even find common interests, which will not be conducive to the two of us continuing to talk about cooperation." ”

"Your Majesty is right, but our common interests have been found. If the eldest brother wants to take Xiyu away, I don't have half an opinion. He also learned from her to spread her hands, "This palace is not so attached to the throne of Xiyi. ”

Li Wei didn't believe it, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't joke with me, I am a straightforward person, if you really say that you don't want the throne, I have to take it seriously?" ”

"Your Majesty can be taken seriously."

"But you just said that you are interested in the throne, if you don't mean it, you can't bear the humiliation and be a fool for so many years, right?"

"Heh, Xiyu royal family, my mother is a weak Zhang family, and the fighting forces have been worn out a lot in the past few decades, so how much hope they have given to this palace, this palace is not unwilling to give up the position of prince, but it can't be released. There was no one behind him, how dare this palace fall at will. Before the eldest brother came back, the only people who were eligible to participate in the prince's ceremony were the palace and the king of Zongcheng, and I had to keep this position to the death, in order to give the family some benefits, and also to stabilize the heart of the concubine, and even more, to prevent that woman from getting more power. ”

"You're talking about the tea concubine?"

"That's right. That woman is ruthless, even if the second brother is a little bold and bold, but she is a filial son, and she is subject to the tea concubine in many places, and it will be difficult to support the foundation of the Xiyu Kingdom at that time. If she controls the government, Xiyu will definitely be in chaos, and the palace might as well fight to the death to seize the throne. But this palace doesn't have much strength, everything is supported by the mother concubine, she has never given up on the stupid me, I have suffered a lot for this, and I have been ridiculed by the tea concubine for more than ten years.

Therefore, this palace does not want her to be disappointed, and tries her best to play the role of a stupid prince, and occasionally win some sympathy in front of her father," he smiled bitterly, "but what is the use of this little sympathy?" After all, his father is his father, and he will not seek revenge on his favorite concubine for the sake of one of his sons being poisoned and stupid. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, did Concubine Cha poison you?" Li Wei gritted her teeth, the usual tricks of that tea concubine, although the poison on Guan Qianyi's body was not caused by her, it had nothing to do with her.

"It has to be her, and there will be no one but her. Ever since I was sick, my mother didn't have the heart to fight with her at all, and searched for famous doctors everywhere to cure my illness. Now you see that although I am very good, there are still flaws, and the poison in my bones has not been completely eradicated, and if I encounter the smell of Yangmu, I can't control myself, and I am so uncomfortable that I want to kill. ”

He paused and looked at her, "There is the smell of Yangmu in the Tea Guifei Palace, and she also has incense on her body. ”

Li Wei nodded, "So, the purpose of your conversation with me—"

"I want her life!"

Li Wei nodded, he only needed the life of the tea concubine, the requirements were not much, but after all, it was still a little difficult, that was the mother of King Zongcheng and Guan Qianyi, even if Guan Qianyi didn't care, King Zongcheng and her also had some friendship, a human life, she couldn't just say kill it.

"In this way, I also need to know, what leverage does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have to negotiate a deal with me? You must know that in the eyes of the world, you are just a prince with no real power at all, and you may even lose the position of crown prince, even if you are a normal person in front of me now, it is far from enough. If I want to cooperate with you, I will not be able to do a loss-making business: if I hand over the life of the tea concubine for you, it may cost too much time, money or power, and if you don't have enough bargaining chips, I can completely rely on my power to take the Xiyi Kingdom, and I don't need to make a deal with you. ”

"But the palace has a bargaining chip, and His Majesty may want to know." The prince stood up, and he knocked on the wall beside him, knocked a few times, opened a brick, and took out a box.

Inside the box was a folded, thick drawing, which he carefully opened and handed to her.

Li Wei took it, looked at it carefully, frowned, and soothed.

"The map of the troop layout of the Nanbu Kingdom? How did you get it? ”

"Your Majesty doesn't care how you got this drawing, Your Majesty only needs to assess, is this half of the drawing and the other half of the drawings about to be in hand have the value of exchanging the life of the tea concubine?"

Problem, Li Wei has to say, she has encountered a problem.

Nanwu is also a thorn in the coffin that she has always had to solve, and the arrogant nation is too strong, and Beichen has been difficult to make it surrender for many years. If you get this map of the distribution of military affairs, it will not be a matter for Nanwu Kingdom.

"I may not be able to get back to you right away. But rest assured, the conversation between the two of us today has been valid, this deal has always been a possibility, and I will not break the contract before you break it. ”

With this sentence, the main palace is relieved. I thought that if the situation could not be changed before the prince's ceremony, if the eldest brother won the crown prince's position, I would also find an opportunity to get rid of the tea concubine; If not, I will take the life of the tea concubine no matter what. I felt very lucky to see Your Majesty today, and I expected that I would not be able to cooperate with Your Majesty, but I didn't expect to be able to talk about this step. His Majesty is straightforward, without the slightest pretentiousness of a woman, nor the filthy villains of the palace people, it is comfortable to see, and it is completely impossible to be malicious. ”

"I've won the award," Li Wei was praised by others, embarrassed, "If you hadn't been victimized by a traitor, you would definitely be the most anticipated person in Xiyu Country now." But it doesn't matter, my market has always been good, and even the bad luck of the people around me will be eliminated, if you cooperate with me, good luck will come soon. ”

"May this palace be able to inherit His Majesty's good words."

"Sure. By the way, you can take me to Qingzhong Palace right now, I have something to discuss with your eldest brother." ”

"Bang

Li Wei was startled and looked at the prince: What person?

The prince gestured to her not to panic, and told her to enter behind the screen and hide first.

"Come in."

The person who came opened the door, and his voice was anxious, "Your Highness, someone is going to break in and say that the assassin is harboring and wants to search." I heard that it was an assassin from the Qingzhong Palace, and as soon as I found out, I said that the assassin was coming here. ”

Prince: "It's okay, you step down." ”

"Yes!"

Li Wei came out and looked out the door, "It seems that in the palace, you still have some people who know the roots." ”

"There should always be one or two, otherwise how can you survive? Without further ado, this palace will take you out of here first. ”

The two left through the small door at the back and came out of a palace wall, the second one was too high for Li Wei to climb over.

"Come down, I'll take you there after passing with a light effort."

"No, you're a fool now, don't worry about it. I'm trying to figure it out. ”

Hearing her words, the prince nodded, in a good mood, and stood on the side in front of his fool, "Ouch, what should I do, I want to go out, it's not fun here." ”

Li Wei couldn't help laughing when she saw him pretending to be stupid again, and then suddenly slapped her palms: "Yes, we are not assassins, His Royal Highness the Prince, you just said that you took me to inadvertently break into here, and if you find it not fun, you just have to find out the route to get there." That's it, let's go, let's hurry out from the main entrance. ”

The prince tugged at her sleeve, "No, there are so many bad people at the main gate, what if I arrest you?" He lowered his voice.

Li Wei was at a loss: Yes, if they interrogated and found out that she was a eunuch of unknown origin, wouldn't there be a reason to arrest her as an assassin?

No, no, this won't work, think again.

Li Wei was racking his brains, and his serious and helpless appearance seemed to please the prince, he looked funny, sometimes smirking and sometimes shaking his head: This majesty, this temperament is sometimes too simple, why did she let her break into the Golden Palace alone? What if she met someone with bad intentions?

"Your Majesty, I still have a way, come with me."

At this time, Ding Bei and Ding Da changed into the clothes of guards, and took Guan Qianyi to guard from everywhere, seeing that no one came out of the back door, Ding Bei asked Ding Da to lead people to guard here, and then took Guan Qianyi to go around from another direction.

"Lord Wang, go this way, I know that there is a secret secret door in this Tianqing Palace, just in the corner of the north side, where the palace maids used to wash their clothes, and it was abandoned a few years ago."

Guan Qianyi: "Are you too familiar with this Golden Palace?" ”

Ding Bei smiled, "In the early years, our brothers worked as guards in the palace and often sneaked out of the palace. Being able to wear this palace guard robe today can be regarded as revisiting the old relationship. Lord, go this way. ”

Ding Beibian led the way, but his mind was still wiping sweat for the thrill of the moment:

The two brothers broke into Qingzhong Palace recklessly, and they desperately broke through a layer of doors but were still discovered, Ding Da and Cui Lei's guards fought, Ding Bei took the opportunity to sneak into the inner hall to find someone, but was besieged and exited the compound, surrounded by archers.

Ding Bei immediately grabbed the jade rabbit in his hand and raised his head, "Don't let go of the arrows, we are not assassins!" ”

Fortunately, the Lord Regent came out, and recognized the thing in his hand at a glance, and the two brothers picked up a life. Unexpectedly, the two brothers who shuttled freely in the Golden Palace couldn't cross the two palace walls in Qingzhong Palace.

It was the first time that Ding Bei had encountered such a dangerous situation, and it would be a moment later for ten thousand arrows to pierce his heart. But fortunately, now everything has come to the expected step, and although the Lord Regent talks less and looks a little indifferent, he is very easy to get along with, and there is no arrogance, and the few questions asked are all about His Majesty, which shows his concern for His Majesty.

Ding Bei walked a few steps and pointed to the more dilapidated place in front of him, where the low wooden houses had been decayed for a long time, and a lot of dust had accumulated, and cobwebs could be seen everywhere.

Guan Qianyi walked behind, but suddenly pulled Ding Bei and told him to retreat.

Ding Bei naturally listened, thinking that the prince was going to wait here, so he retreated to one side, and after standing for less than half a moment, he also heard a sound from the other end, although the sound of the people coming was as low as possible, but it was still faintly audible.

However, this regent could hear the sound from the beginning, how good was that ear power?

The two of them stepped back and were on the side of the low wall, where they could see if anyone had come out of the only passage.

"Let's-"

Only a muffled voice was heard, and after a while, one foot stepped out, then a pair, then another, one large and one small, stepping out of the sight of the two of them.

Guan Qianyi instantly met the gaze of the prince who was walking in front, but saw that the prince was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then said happily, "Big brother, why are you here?" By the way, there are assassins, and I'm going to catch them too. ”

Guan Qianyi didn't answer, but looked at the little eunuch who was sticking out of the prince's cuff. (To be continued.) )
