Chapter 069: The Prince's Clever Argument
"Can you give me a chance?" This sentence touched Cao An a lot. In fact, he also wanted to get a chance to be with her. But his illness deprived him of such an opportunity.
Cao An said: "Your illness is not cured yet, it's time to go back and drink medicine." Xiu Ling is still waiting for you, she is worried about you. â
He didn't dare to answer his question head-on, so he had to divert the subject.
Li Siyu saw that Grand Prince Cao avoided her question again, and her heart was a little lost, and her feelings suddenly fell a lot.
"Since the second lady is waiting for me, then I'll go back first. If the eldest prince wants to take a walk, let's take a walk by himself! â
Li Siyu quickened his pace and walked past the eldest prince, leaving him far behind.
Is she angry? The eldest prince felt very uncomfortable.
The weather was unpredictable, and the sky suddenly covered with dark clouds, and then it began to rain in a plush. Li Siyu didn't take this rain to heart, and when he lifted his feet, he was about to walk into the rain.
Her hand was grabbed. Li Siyu looked back and saw that it was the eldest son of Cao.
"You're still sick, don't get drenched in the rain." The eldest prince let go of Li Siyu's hand and said calmly.
Li Siyu smiled slightly, "Is the eldest prince concerned about me?" â
Cao An said: "I'm afraid that you are sick, and I can't explain it to Fang Gongzi." He entrusted me to take good care of you. â
Obviously, he cared about her, but he insisted that he was entrusted by others.
Li Siyu said: "Anyway, I'm already sick, I don't care about another little rain." With that, he walked into the rain.
Cao An frowned and followed, and at the same time took off the cloak on his body and supported Li Siyu's head with his hands to block the rain for her.
Li Siyu said: "If you were just entrusted by Fang Yu, would you have reached such a point?" "I'd rather get caught in the rain myself, but also shelter her from the wind and rain.
Cao An didn't speak, just looked at Li Siyu quietly. Li Siyu hugged him with both hands, put his head to his heart, and listened to his heartbeat.
Cao An's back stiffened, and the cloak in his hand fell to the ground. He slowly pushed Li Siyu away. Li Siyu looked at him in surprise, looking very hurt.
Cao An couldn't bear to see her like this, but he felt that he had to be ruthless at this time. Cao An said: "If I did something to misunderstand you, I apologize to you." I hope you don't make a fuss about yourself again. â
"Self-inflicted? Didn't you like me? You defend me so much, and even get sick because of my departure, doesn't that mean that you like me? â
Cao An said: "You misunderstood. I never liked you. As for the illness, it was purely coincidental. I hope you don't get it wrong again, I'll be bothered. â
Is it really her own passion? Looking at Cao An's departing back, Li Siyu's tears fell from his eyes like pearls with broken threads. It's just that the teardrops and the raindrops are blended together, making it impossible to tell whether it is tears or raindrops.
Li Siyu always thought that the reason why Cao An didn't admit that he liked her was because he was worried about his illness. But judging from what he had just said, she had misunderstood him. He didn't like her at all, she was all self-inflicted. And her self-inflicted affection bothered him a lot.
Her heart ached, she felt like the air around her was drained and she couldn't breathe. Finally, when Cao An's figure disappeared from her eyes, she fainted and fell to the cold ground.
At this time, the emperor was investigating the assassination of King Heng.
"King Heng, you really don't know the identities of those men in black?" The emperor asked.
King Heng said: "Erchen really doesn't know what their identity is. I only know that they are well-trained and strong in martial arts. To cultivate such a group of people, it must not be something that ordinary people can do. â
The emperor thought about it and felt that it made sense, he looked at King Qi, "Yu'er, when you found your eldest brother, did you encounter any suspicious people. â
Although Sima Yu was passed on to the emperor's younger brother, he must be the emperor's son, and he is still the most beloved son. So he called him Yu'er, and Sima Yang Hengwang.
King Qi thought for a while and said, "On the way to look for my eldest brother, I didn't find any suspicious people. Either they have already fled, or they are well trained. I don't think the main messenger behind this is an ordinary person. â
The emperor looked at Nangong Hao, "What does General Nangong think?" â
Nangong Hao said: "Knowing that the emperor is going to hunt in the Smoky Mountain, the Smoky Mountain has already been cleared, and the idle people can't enter." But the gang of villains did come in and assassinate King Heng. The identity of the person who can plan this is not simple. â
The emperor looked at Jia Jungong again, "What does Jia Gong think?" â
Jia Jun said: "I agree with General Nangong, and the identity of the person who can plan this matter is not simple. â
That's all they can say. As for the identity of the person behind the scenes, in fact, everyone has guessed one or two. In the court, the only one who wants to put King Heng to death is the prince's party. The mastermind behind the scenes is not the crown prince, but his henchmen.
The emperor looked at the crown prince, "Prince, what do you think about this matter?" â
The prince is not stupid, he naturally understands the truth. His father was suspicious of him. The crown prince frowned and said: "Back to my father, the sons also think that the identity of the person behind this scene is not simple. â
The emperor continued: "Then who do you think is the person behind this scene? â
The prince thought for a while and said, "The person behind this curtain is most likely to be a son-in-law. â
The emperor didn't seem to expect him to answer like this, he said: "Tell me why the person behind this curtain is most likely to be you?" â
The prince said: "On the surface, I have taken the position of eldest brother's crown prince. In order to secure this position, I must eradicate the threat of the eldest brother. So, I am most likely the mastermind of this assassination. â
The emperor said: "Then are you the mastermind behind this scene?" â
The prince said, "No. Because the position of prince was given by his father. Since my father gave it to me, he will definitely let me sit in this position. With my father here, no one can threaten my position as crown prince. If my father wants to take back my crown prince, my son will offer it with both hands, and there will be no complaints. Therefore, there is no such thing as zĂ i I am afraid that anyone will threaten my crown princehood. â
"Big brother is not a threat to me, so I have no reason to take action against big brother. Besides, if something happens to the eldest brother, everyone will suspect Erchen. At that time, Erchen will be saddled with the name of killing his brother, and Erchen is not so benzene. What's more, the minister can't do the matter of killing his brother. â
The emperor looked at King Heng seriously, and then nodded, "So to speak." You are least likely to be behind the scenes. There is someone else who wants to assassinate King Heng. The emperor looked at Nangong Hao, "General Nangong, the assassination of King Heng will be handed over to you for investigation." Be sure to find out who is behind the scenes. I want to see who has the audacity to assassinate my son. â
"Nangong Hao takes the order!"
