Chapter 114: The deployment is very thorough
The conversation between the emperor and Ling Wei was very cautious, and everyone present was busy toasting, and no one noticed anything wrong, however, Gu Ranchen watched Ling Wei's every move in his eyes, and these few whispered mutters with the emperor could not escape Gu Ranchen's eyes.
Now that it has been found out that the murderer of Baili Xuan is someone else, the emperor took advantage of the plum blossom appreciation conference to release Gu Ranchen, and the envoys of Zhao State were also busy preparing to participate in the plum blossom appreciation conference, and they didn't have time to make any objections.
When Ling Wei returned to her seat, Gu Ranchen got up, held the wine glass, pretended to make a toast, and came closer.
"What did you say to the emperor?" Gu Ranchen lowered his voice and asked.
Ling Wei touched Gu Ranchen's cup with the jade cup in her hand, and drank all the wine in the cup, "I didn't say anything, I just said a few words of blessing, are you also interested in this?" ”
Gu Ranchen shook his head and looked at Ling Wei firmly, "Is something wrong?" ”
Ling Wei smiled mysteriously and asked meaningfully, "How can you see it?" ”
"I saw Zuo Jiajun when I went up the mountain, the emperor attended the plum blossom appreciation conference, and he has his own protection from the Imperial Forest Army, it seems that he doesn't need Zuo Jiajun to take action, right?" Gu Ranchen raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically.
Ling Wei nodded in agreement, "Well, yes, what else?" ”
"Also, isn't it strange that Brother Zuo didn't come?" Gu Ranchen looked behind Ling Wei and said.
Yes, although Zuo Qing doesn't like to socialize, it is reasonable that he should attend an occasion like the plum blossom appreciation conference, but he does not show up in Jinling. This will make people feel that they don't give the emperor a son, the Zuo family is a big family, and naturally they will not make such a low-level mistake.
Ling Wei looked at Gu Ranchen with praise, "Gu Wangye is really meticulous in his observations, none of these things have escaped your eyes." ”
Gu Ranchen bent the corners of his mouth proudly, "Then are you going to tell me?" ”
Ling Wei sneered, "Between you and me, there are no secrets. ”
"Yes." Gu Ranchen nodded, waiting for Ling Wei to tell the shocking truth. Gu Ranchen knew about Zuo Jiajun. Zuo Qing. Ling Wei, the emperor, the combination of these four must not be a trivial matter.
"Bailichen plans to assassinate the emperor today." Ling Wei leaned over and put down the cup in her hand. Said word by word. The expression is still so indifferent. As if she wasn't talking about the assassination of the king.
Gu Ranchen was not very surprised, this result was similar to what he guessed, but he didn't expect it. The person who wanted to assassinate was actually Bailichen.
"It's strange, he's going to fight against the odds? If it fails, is the price greater? Even if it is successful, in Dayan's territory, is he sure to escape? Gu Ranchen asked coldly, if someone assassinated the emperor, it would not be an uncommon thing, after all, there were so many people who couldn't get along with the imperial court, and it was rare for the emperor to come out, this plum blossom appreciation conference was a once-in-a-lifetime assassination opportunity, but if this person was Bailichen, it really surprised Gu Ranchen, Bailichen, as a prince of a foreign country, to assassinate the king of a country on Dayan's territory was really not a wise move.
Ling Wei smiled, "This time, Gu Wangye didn't guess? ”
Gu Ranchen nodded as if admitting defeat, "I really can't guess, don't sell it, let's talk about it." ”
Ling Wei didn't hide it either, "The old department of Bailixuan transferred by Bailichen, and these people were carefully cultivated by Bailixuan and Concubine Ping. ”
"Ping Guifei?" The three words of Ping Guifei really surprised Gu Ranchen, who had always been calm.
"Yes, Concubine Ping assassinated the emperor, is this thing very strange?" Ling Wei asked lightly.
Gu Ranchen thought about it carefully, well, this is indeed not unusual.
"If it weren't for Bai Li Xuan's sudden killing, and his old subordinates had a grudge against Bai Li Chen and wanted to kill him, how could they have revealed this news to me, and how could we have the opportunity to prepare for it in advance. Now that I think about it, if Baili Xuan was still alive, maybe he and Concubine Ping would have really succeeded. Ling Wei said with a little worry.
"You're all ready?" Gu Ranchen was not interested in knowing how Ling Wei learned the news, but he still trusted Ling Wei's ability very much, since Ling Wei and Zuo Qing made a move to meet the enemy, presumably today's plum blossom appreciation meeting must be foolproof.
Ling Wei nodded, "Don't worry, everything is arranged, although I don't want to put Bailichen to death, but I have to take care of this kind of thing." ”
"So, thank you." Gu Ranchen didn't say anything more, turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey, why are you going?" Ling Wei saw that Gu Ranchen was in a hurry, and felt that something was wrong, so she grabbed Gu Ranchen's arm and asked.
Gu Ranchen turned around and replied, "I want to go to the palace." ”
"Into the palace?" Ling Wei looked at Gu Ranchen suspiciously, and really couldn't understand what he was going to do when he entered the palace at this juncture.
Gu Ranchen nodded, "That's right, when I entered the palace, Concubine Ping didn't come to the plum blossom conference, she must be ready to escape." But Shihua is still recuperating in the Zijin Palace, and I am afraid that once there is chaos, she will be implicated. ”
"You care a lot about Liu Shihua." Ling Wei slowly let go of Gu Ranchen's hand, these words obviously expressed his thoughts, concern, care, this kind of feelings are often inadvertently revealed when it is dangerous.
"For the sake of Lord Xuan's affairs, she has made a lot of efforts, no matter what, I owe her a favor, this time, I can finally pay it back." Gu Ranchen explained in a panic, and explained in a hurry, as if he was afraid that Ling Wei would misunderstand something.
Ling Wei smiled lightly, "You don't have to be so nervous, I'm just asking casually." Don't worry, she'll be fine, the reason why I let her get lost is to let her avoid this plum blossom appreciation meeting, and I've already sent someone to keep an eye on the palace. ”
Gu Ranchen looked at Ling Wei in surprise, it turned out that all this was arranged by her, it was rare that she was still worried about the safety of Liu Shihua, and at this critical moment, she still wanted to protect her.
"Thank you." Gu Ranchen's eyes were full of gratitude, this sentence of thanks was sincere.
Ling Wei shook her head, "Your friend is my friend, between you and me, why bother to say thank you." ”
"So, I'm out of sight." Gu Ranchen smiled, "However, I still want to go to the palace to have a look, even if it's to say goodbye." ”
After this incident, even if Liu Shihua is really safe and sound, once Concubine Ping is exposed, she will inevitably be severely punished, even if the emperor can't bear to hurt his old feelings as he did more than ten years ago, Liu Shihua will no longer be able to stay in the palace.
Gu Ranchen knew that once Liu Shihua left the palace, once he returned to Beijing, it would be even more difficult to see him again. (To be continued......)
