Chapter 330: The Heart of Abolishment
Qingpingfang.
After Lu Yuan and the others came back from Qi Zhen's bookstore, they returned directly to Li Zhong's house, and this time the two were familiar with each other, and soon found the dilapidated house of Li Zhong's house.
As soon as he knocked on the door, hurried footsteps sounded, and the door quickly opened, revealing Li Dong's little face.
After seeing Li Ruozhen, the little girl had a happy smile on her face.
She pulled Li Ruozhen into the door, and Lu Yuan also entered and closed the door.
As soon as he entered the lobby, a smell of stewed chicken came to his nose, Lu Yuan looked into the hall, and saw that a table of dishes had been set up on the dining table, and a large porcelain bowl was placed in the middle, which was full of chicken soup.
"Brother Du, Miss Du, you are back." Li Zhong leaned out of the kitchen.
"Brother Li, what a good day is today? It's so rich. Lu Yuan looked at the table full of dishes and smiled.
Li Zhong retracted back into the kitchen, and after a while, he walked out with two plates of dishes.
"Actually, I should have picked up the wind for you yesterday, but I don't know much about this, so I ignored it, and Xiao Dong reminded me. It just so happened that I wrote a poem today and received a reward of fifty taels of silver, so I will prepare a meal for you. Li Zhong said with a smile.
"Make a poem?" Lu Yuan sat down on the chair and asked, "Could it be that Brother Li also went to the Women's Poetry Club today?" β
Li Zhong, who was adding rice, turned around when he heard the words and exclaimed, "Did Brother Du go today?" β
"Yes, my sister and I also got in, but we went late, and we were almost done when we went."
"Blending in?" Lieutenant General Li handed the rice to the two.
"That's right." Lu Yuan smiled slightly, and while eating, he told how the two of them got in.
Li Zhong laughed after hearing this: "Brother Du, your trick is really powerful, you can learn it in the future." β
While laughing, the four of them ate together.
Lu Yuan and Li Zhongtian chatted from south to north, sometimes talking about the customs and customs of Hangzhou, and sometimes talking about the major affairs of the court, Li Ruozhen and Li Dong ate silently and listened with their ears pricked up.
After eating, the little girl and Li Ruozhen cleaned up the broken table, and Li Zhong and Lu Yuan cleaned the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen.
When you're done, boil water and bathe your feet and go to sleep.
Following.
Lu Yuan and Li Ruozhen still went to set up a stall outside the Bliss Place, and they still didn't wait for Lan Liuyi after a day.
Lu Yuan realized that this method would not work, and decided to change his strategy and use other methods to find the woman.
But before that, there is still one thing to do, that is, to go to Qian Yu's mansion to find out the identity of the man in black, and he vaguely feels that there is something hidden behind this matter.
June 31, evening.
Qian Yu's carriage arrived as scheduled, and Lu Yuan and Li Ruozhen got into the carriage and headed towards Anle Wangfu.
On the carriage, Qian Yu looked at Li Ruozhen and said with a smile: "It turns out that the girl and the gentleman are together." β
Li Ruozhen ignored him.
Lu Yuan explained with a smile: "This is my senior sister, and we study under the same teacher. β
"Could it be that Miss Fei can also measure and calculate?" Qian Yu was shocked, he had heard Lu Yuan say that his calculation technique was to learn from his teacher.
"No, my master taught me the art of measurement, and what I taught my senior sister was the art of defeating the enemy." Lu Yuan said.
"I didn't expect that Lingshi would also be able to do martial arts, he is really a master." Qian Yu couldn't help but praise.
When they arrived at the Hou Mansion, Qian Yu took the two of them directly to the back garden, he pointed to a pavilion in the distance and said, "That's it, in half an hour, it will be the time when we agreed to meet." β
"Okay, let's go back to the lobby first, and wait for His Highness to go to the appointment at the usual time." Lu Yuan said.
"This king understands."
Half an hour later, Qian Yu went to the back garden alone and waited in the pavilion, he used to come a little earlier every time to wait.
Staring at the moonlight in the sky, Qian Yu began to recall how carefree he was when his predecessor, Qian Liang, the king of Wuyue, was in power, but it was a pity that those days could never come back.
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind him without warning: "Your Highness." β
Qian Yu slowly turned around: "You're here." β
Behind him stood a man in black, dressed in black and wearing black shoes, with a black hood on his head, revealing only two eyes.
"Please also ask Your Highness, as usual, to tell me all the important things in the past month." The deep voice of the man in black came from behind the hood.
Qian Yu nodded, picked some important things and told him, and after finishing speaking, he added: "I feel that your method is not working well, and Brother Wang is becoming more and more cold to me." β
"It's not that my method is useless, but the previous war was unfavorable, which made the king's suspicion more and more heavy, if he hadn't listened to me, the king would probably have done something to His Highness." The man in black said in a deep voice.
"So what do I do now?"
"Your Highness needs to go one step further and completely eliminate the suspicion of the king."
"How to go further?"
"Play crazy!"
"Is it necessary to get to this point?" Qian Yu was shocked and angry.
"Yes." The man in black replied in a calm voice: "Now Qian Hongyu's prestige is not as good as before, in order to consolidate the royal power, he is likely to attack His Highness, please make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise the previous sacrifices will be in vain." β
"You...... You let me think about it. Qian Yu swallowed.
"I don't have time to think about it anymore for His Highness, Your Majesty is now busy preparing for the Qilin Conference, and he has no time to take care of anything else, and when this matter is over, he may be able to do something to His Highness." The man in black's voice began to rise, putting pressure on Qian Yu's heart.
"I ...... I know, then I'll start pretending to be crazy tomorrow. Qian Yu gritted his teeth and said.
"Very good, so that His Highness will be safe, and I will be relieved."
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure in black rose from the ground and flew away into the distance.
Qian Yu sat down on the stone chair in the pavilion, only to feel cold sweat on his forehead.
A footstep sounded from behind him, Qian Yu turned his head to see that it was Du Xuan, and he asked urgently, "Did you hear what you said just now?" β
Lu Yuan shook his head: "My senior sister said that the person's martial arts were too high, so we were far away and didn't hear it." What did he say? β
"He made me play crazy!" Qian Yu gritted his teeth and said, and after speaking, he punched the stone table hard.
Lu Yuan's brows furrowed, what was the other party's purpose in doing this? It's a pity that I don't know the identity of the other party, so it's really hard to draw conclusions.
"Has Senior Sister Ling already chased after her?" Qian Yu asked.
"Yes."
After that, both of them remained silent, waiting quietly in the pavilion.
As time passed, Qian Yu became a little uneasy: "Your senior sister is okay, right?" Will something happen? β
"Don't worry, she'll be fine." Lu Yuan replied in a deep voice.
After a long time, a white figure swept into the back garden, it was Li Ruozhen, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and asked, "Do you know who he is?" β
"I was found by him halfway through the city, and I went around the city for most of the time in order to get rid of him." Li Ruozhen replied.
"Does that mean there's nothing to be gained?" Qian Yu was a little disappointed.
Li Ruozhen still ignored him, looked at Lu Yuan and said, "But I have already guessed his identity." β
"Who is it?" Lu Yuan and Qian Yu asked in unison.
"Lian Ze!"
"How...... How could it be him? Qian Yu said in astonishment.
Lu Yuan's head was running rapidly, Lian Ze was Cai Gao's person in Changle Hou, that is to say, Cai Gao was behind it, why did he do this? Is it really to protect Qian Yu?
Suddenly, a terrible conjecture flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly asked Qian Yu: "Your Highness, does King Wu Yue have any other living brothers besides your younger brother?" β
Qian Yu was in a daze, and blurted out when he heard the words: "Yes, the thirteenth brother is respectful to Wang Qianxin." β
"How is he conducted?" Lu Yuan asked again.
"Although the thirteenth brother is only ten years old, he is very smart, and it is rumored among the people."
Hearing this, Lu Yuan was shocked, it seems that he guessed well, Changle Hou Cai Gao is really bold.
He took a deep breath and said, "If your brother Wang dies, I don't know who will succeed you?" β
Qian Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "Naturallyβ"
He was just about to talk about himself, when he suddenly thought of his reputation at the moment, it was impossible for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to agree to let him be the king of Wuyue, and although the thirteenth brother was young, he was very smart, and the throne was likely to fall on his head.
"They...... They ...... "Qian Yu was shocked and angry, and finally realized the meaning of Lu Yuan's words.
Taking a few deep breaths, he gritted his teeth and said, "You mean that Cai Gao is going to abolish Brother Wang and replace it with Thirteenth Brother?" β
"Do you think he has what it takes to do that?" Lu Yuan asked rhetorically.
Qian Yu looked down at the tip of his shoe and said, "If it was before, I am afraid he would not have this ability, but since we lost to Hui'an Mansion, Brother Wang's prestige has been greatly hit.
And now that the town navy is stationed next to Hangzhou City, Cai Xing, the town navy festival envoy, is Cai Gao's younger brother, and he does have the ability to do so. β
Speaking of this, he raised his head, looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Although Cai Gao is very powerful now, the Queen Mother will not let him do such a rebellious thing!" β
Lu Yuan frowned and asked, "Is Empress Dowager Cai your brother's biological mother?" β
"No, she's from Brother Qian Yuβ" At this, Qian Yu's face showed horror.
Lu Yuan said coldly: "She is the mother of the former King Wu Yue, that is to say, if she knew that her son was killed by your brother Wang, what do you say she would do?" β
"No, I still don't believe that Cai Gao will rebel, and I don't believe that he will harm me like this." Qian Yu grabbed his head and said loudly.
Seeing this situation, Lu Yuan was slightly puzzled: "Your Highness, doesn't it have a personal relationship with Cai Gao?" β
Qian Yu took several deep breaths, and then whispered: "Since Brother Wang didn't let me go to the court, he is the only person who hasn't changed his attitude towards me, and he often asks Brother Wang for me, hoping that Brother Wang can let me go to court again." β
"I wonder if the relationship between His Highness and Cai Gao has always been so good, or has it suddenly gotten better at some point?" Lu Yuan asked.
"It's been a year ago, after Hu Jinsi retired, that is, before the man in black came to meβ"
Speaking of this, Qian Yu's eyes kept widening, could it be that Cai Gao deliberately approached himself and deliberately treated himself?
Lu Yuan sighed: "I finally know why Your Highness is indifferent to Your Highness. β
"For ...... Why? Qian Yu's head turned like a robot, and his thinking seemed to have stopped.
"Because the monarch has long known that Cai Gao has bad intentions, and seeing that His Royal Highness is so close to him, and he often speaks well for His Royal Highness, the monarch naturally thinks that you are conspiring with him and want to sit on the throne of King Wu Yue." Lu Yuan said word by word.
