Chapter 25: A dilemma

I quickly denied this speculation, if Mr. Fu and Sai Carmen are in the same group, why should Sai Carmen panic? It's not right to guess and guess, it seems that I will ask Mr. Fu to explain these problems when I go home.

"I heard that the emperor invited Mrs. Lin into the palace?" I looked at the emperor, and I told him that Sai Carmen was suspicious, and that the emperor would definitely arrest Sai Carmen for interrogation after seeing the tragic situation that had fallen in the clouds, and I wonder if the emperor now knows the truth?

"Hmm." The Emperor's face sank when he heard me ask about Secammen. I said worriedly: "Is Mrs. Lonely related to General Shan's surrender?" ”

"She? It's hard-mouthed. The emperor's eyes were sharp, and he smiled coldly, "I thought that if I didn't say a word, I wouldn't have a way to take her, so I wouldn't know her purpose?" ”

"The emperor knows her purpose? Does she really have a grudge against General Lone? "Listening to the emperor's tone, it seems that he did not torture Secamun to extract a confession, so how did the emperor know? I frowned and said tentatively: "General Lonely is a good person, should he not do something that makes people hate him so much, is there a misunderstanding?" ”

"Jingyun's surname is straightforward, and some of his thoughts are too stubborn, and he has a tendon to the end, I have warned him a long time ago that this woman approached him with ulterior motives, but he didn't listen." The emperor patted the low table and said angrily, "Now it's asking for your own hardship!" ”

I remembered that Ping An said that before General Shan wanted to marry Sai Carmen, he had a fierce dispute with the emperor, and it turned out that the emperor was already suspicious of Sai Carmen at that time, and he must have already investigated the origin of Sai Kamen, but I thought I was smart and thought that everyone else was kept in the dark, but in fact, they had already seen the opportunity.

"It turns out that the emperor has long known that Mrs. Lonely has a problem, so why does the emperor still agree to let General Lonely marry her?" I looked at him quietly, could it be that the emperor had another arrangement? If it is true, then what else in this world can he not use?

"I, the hussar general of the Tiancao Kingdom, the Duke of Yipin Dingguo, wants to marry a Qinglou woman of unknown origin as the lady of the main house, do you think I will allow him to be so nonsense?" The emperor snorted coldly, "If someone else is fine, and I don't allow the order, who can do it?" It's Jingyun, last time I married him and Huihui, who knew that Huihui Fubo died of illness, Jingyun asked me for a wish afterwards, and his family affairs will be decided by himself in the future, I understood his feelings at that time and agreed to him. ”

Is there such a stubble? For some reason, I always felt that when the emperor mentioned the name of Hui, the pronunciation was extra heavy, and I was a little weak, so I quickly changed the topic: "Since General Lonely knows that Lady Lonely has another purpose in approaching him, why do you still want to marry her?" "Even if General Lonely and Secamun are married, he is not a fool, he will not know that she wants to kill him or insist on marrying her, what is there in this that outsiders don't know? Could it be that Silent Cloud is really in love with Secarmen?

Jingyun felt guilty about the woman and wanted to make it up to her. It's also strange to me, I underestimated the woman's methods, thinking that with Jingyun's skills, even if the woman wanted to kill him, it would not be so easy, and Jingyun easily subdued her a few times before, so I didn't oppose it to the end. The emperor said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect her to use such a vicious method to deal with Jingyun, Jingyun suffered a loss this time, it was on his surname!" ”

General Lonely feels guilty about Secammen? Sai Carmen had already wanted to kill Silent Shocking Cloud more than once, and even Emperor Yanjing knew about it? Assassinating important officials of the court is already a serious crime, the emperor knows but does not punish her, and she still has to assassinate her again and again, what is the secret in this? I frowned and said, "Did General Lonely really do something sorry for her?" ”

"How could Jingyun have a personal grudge against a woman." The emperor snorted coldly, "It's that Se Carmen is black and white, and he is so embarrassed that he has good intentions and falls like this!" ”

"Has the emperor found out who she is?" I believe that the Emperor has already mastered some information about Sai Carmen, and perhaps from the first day she was listed in the Qinglou under the name of Sai Carmen, the Emperor has been secretly paying attention to her. She thought that using the name "Sai Carmen" could attract the attention of Silent Horror Cloud, and she did achieve her goal, but what she didn't know was that I, the unidentified "Carmen" who had fallen into the Qinglou, was also a thorn in the emperor's heart.

"Secarmen?" The emperor smiled coldly, "That woman is most likely the family of Valekin, the generalissimo of the Chenxing Kingdom, judging from her appearance and age, she should be his youngest daughter Zoya." ”

"Huh?" I couldn't help but lose my voice, "She's from Chenxing?" "Since that Secarmen is the daughter of a foreign high-ranking official, how can she have a personal vendetta with General Shan? If it's not a personal feud, it's a national feud? Could it be that she is the annihilation of the Chenxing Kingdom?

Seeing my surprised expression, the emperor probably guessed what I was thinking, and continued: "Jingyun has been stationed at the border pass in Northern Xinjiang for three years, and has fought more than ten battles with Northern Xinjiang, large and small, and Valekin died in the last battle of Northern Xinjiang. ”

I suddenly realized: "That is to say, Zoya's father was killed in the war in the northern Xinjiang, so she came to Tiancao Kingdom alone to avenge her father?" ”

The Emperor smiled coldly, seemingly taking the question with a grain of salt. I thought about it, and I understood that the emperor's suspicions were not unfounded, so Sai Carmen was a native of Chenxing Country and a young lady of the official family, how could he know the head lowering technique of the secret clan in Southern Xinjiang? She used her own body as a descendant, and used hypnotism to descend, who taught her these things? Who is the head descender who taught her these evil arts?

"That'...... What is the emperor's plan now? Suddenly, countless thoughts turned in my heart. Let's not think about the question of who Secarmen colluded with for the time being, but General Lin is in the current situation, I don't know what the emperor will do? If there is only one way to save the general, and the emperor needs to use the Protector Shending, will the emperor agree? Even if General Lonely is a close confidant of the emperor, but the protector of the country is related to the emperor's luck and the stability of the imperial power, think about the tragic struggle for imperial power in history, from ancient times to the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, which dynasty and which generation ascended the steps of the emperor's throne, without blood? Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty killed his father and brother, Li Shimin's Xuanwumen Change, Song Taizu's "candlelight axe shadow" mystery, Ming Chengzu's "Qing Jun's side" raised troops and "Jing Difficult", and Emperor Kangxi's nine sons seized the heir...... It is the Tiancao Kingdom in this different time and space, the young son of heaven in front of him, the road to the throne is also quite difficult and rugged, will he easily use things related to his imperial power and national fortunes to save the life of a courtier? Even if, this courtier is his confidant and cronies who he regards as his right-hand man?

Furthermore, even if you don't care about luck, if the head descender who joined forces with Sai Carmen to harm the Silent Horror Cloud, if it is a cooperative relationship with Sai Carmen, then what is his purpose? He can't be so coincidental and have a grudge against Lonely Horror, right? On the surface, it seems that it is just a personal grudge between Secarmen and him, but after thinking about it, no matter how you look at it, the spearhead is directed at the emperor. Regardless of whether the emperor saves him or not, it is not good for Huang Yanjing, the emperor saves him, he will destroy his luck, and he will put himself in danger within seventy-seven forty-nine days; If the emperor does not save him, he will lose such a useful pillar of the country as General Shan, and lose one of his few confidants. To save or not to save, for the emperor, they are facing a dilemma.

"What are you going to ......do?" the Emperor smiled faintly and glanced at me with a look of deep meaning, "What would you do if you were me?" ”

"I ......" I hesitated for a moment, if I were him, I would definitely choose to save Silent Shock, but I am not him in the end, no matter what I say at this time, it is not right. After thinking about it, he still said honestly: "The concubine will save General Lonely, because the concubine does not have so many scruples, and the idea of the concubine has always been very simple." ”

He looked at me deeply, his eyes gradually darkening, and he wondered if he was speculating on my real surname. I hesitated, but still asked, "Will the emperor save General Shan?" His gaze at me fell on his drooping eyelids, and after a while, the emperor said lightly: "I have my own opinions on this matter, so you don't care." ”

Own claims? What do you claim? One by one, these men are conceited to death, and I have read a lot of them in TV novels. Although the matter of General Silence's surrender is said to be a malicious attempt by Sai Carmen, and the methods are poisonous and unguardable, don't the emperor and Silent Horror Cloud themselves have any responsibility? They all knew that this woman had bad intentions, but one still insisted on marrying her, perhaps out of guilt, or perhaps for some other reason, relying on his own good skills, and letting this dangerous woman by his side, with the surname of Silent Cloud, maybe promised to give Secammen a chance to kill him, as long as she could kill him; Obviously, the emperor doesn't believe much in avenging his father, so even if he knows that this woman is a dangerous person, he comforts himself with the skill of General Lonely and will not be easily harmed by others, or he also despises a little woman, and he can't make any waves at all. If it weren't for the fact that these men were too conceited, how could General Lonely have known the way of this Sai Carmen?

"Your Majesty......" I raised my head suddenly, the emperor did not have a clear statement on whether to save the silent clouds or not, you told me to care, how can I settle down? was about to speak, but saw Shuangxi hurriedly turn in from the outer hall and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the side hall is ready, does the emperor want to move?" ”

"Got it." The emperor raised his hand, and withdrew quietly, and the emperor raised his eyes to look at me and said, "I still have something to do, you can go back today." ”

I bit my lip and said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine wants to see Mrs. Lonely, please ask the emperor for permission!" "There are too many secrets in this Secamen, and although the Emperor said that he didn't ask her for any confession, I still want to give it a try, maybe I can get a little information from her, which will be helpful to General Shan.

The emperor's face was solemn, and he said coldly: "What did you do when you saw her?" I'm telling you to leave it alone! ”

I quickly stood up, knelt on the ground, and begged: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that it is her own surname, which makes you embarrassed, but you know the surname of the concubine, if the concubine doesn't know about it, it's fine, but now that I know, how can you let me ignore it?" So far, what are you not worried about your concubines? The concubines would never do anything unfavorable to the emperor. Your Majesty, I just want to help General Lonely, I don't want my friends around me to be hurt, you let me see Mrs. Lonely. ”

"You ......," the emperor looked at me with a complicated expression, with a hint of anger in his tone, "don't you understand?" I don't want you to get involved in this matter, it's for your own good, so that you can see Jingyun like that, I can't help myself, you ......"

He stopped suddenly, looked at my teary eyes, frowned, and sighed for a while: "That's it, you get up, I'm ready." ”

"Your Majesty." I hastened to thank you. The emperor hugged me and sighed lightly: "It's just a matter of seeing you, just let you feel at ease, I don't want you to get involved in this matter, do you understand?" ”

His expression was resolute, and I looked at his expression and suddenly understood that he had already made a decision in his heart, but he was not prepared to let me know this decision. Why? If he is willing to save General Lonely, why is he afraid that I will know? Could it be that he chose to give up General Lonely in order to stabilize the imperial power?

I shuddered, but I couldn't say more, because I couldn't blame him for what he did. Seeing that my expression changed, the emperor thought that he had guessed my thoughts, and the corners of his lips moved slightly, but he didn't say much, but said, "Let's go, I'm going to see Na Secarmen!" ”
