Qi Le shook his head and replied in a low voice: "I'm not very familiar with him, but Lao Li is a strange person, and there aren't many people who associate with him, so it shouldn't be difficult to investigate." ”

"I see," Qin Keqing suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "Then how are you going to check?" ”

Hearing this question, Qi Le looked stunned, he didn't think about how to check and where to start. was asked by Qin Keqing like this, only to find that it seemed that things were not as simple as he thought.

Looking at Qi Le, who was stunned in place, Qin Keqing smiled calmly and said: "It's not enough to have an empty heart, you also need to have a practical plan, if you run around like a headless fly, not to mention the grass and snakes, you may fall into it." ”

When Qin Keqing said this, Qi Le nodded in despair, and muttered, "I just want to find out the murderer quickly, and I didn't think about it so much at all." ”

Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed true, since the person who has fallen under the Gu can hide in the palace until now and has not been discovered, it must be quite a means, and he has no quality and no rank to check rashly, which is equivalent to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh at himself: "What the adults said is extremely true, even if the small ones are powerless and powerless, even if they really find out, I am afraid that few people will believe such absurd things because they are soft-spoken." ”

Wen Ziqi, who was sitting on the bed, saw that he seemed to have misinterpreted Qin Keqing's meaning, so he withdrew and let Lao Li Yuan lie on the bed, and he turned over and jumped in front of Qi Le.

Stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "If people are confident, they often get twice the result with half the effort, but if they don't even believe in themselves, how can they let others trust you?" ”

Qi Le raised his head blankly, staring at the adult in front of him who was a few years younger than him, and almost opened his mouth, but he didn't say it after all.

As if he knew what he was going to say, Wen Ziqi smiled slightly and said softly: "I know what you want to say, in fact, you misinterpreted what Lord Qin said just now. ”

"Misinterpretation?" Qi Le turned his head and looked at Qin Keqing with a puzzled expression, and said as if puzzled: "Could it be that Lord Qin doesn't mean..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wen Ziqi stretched out his hand to cut him off, shook his head and said, "Lord Qin doesn't look down on you, but is just asking you what your plans are." ”

Qi Le nodded suddenly and smiled awkwardly: "It turns out that the villain misunderstood what Lord Qin meant. ”

Nangong Feifei, who was sitting on the stool, held a wine glass and said with emotion: "A person is so unconfident, what have you experienced." ”

Qi Le smiled and did not answer. It's just that there was a trace of pain in his laughter, which everyone present could hear.

Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Nangong Feifei didn't continue to ask, just threw away the wine glass in his hand, suddenly got up and came to the bed, pointed at Lao Li and said: "If there are a few more such people among the guards stationed in the palace, I'm afraid that next year's imperial inspection will be canceled." ”

Nangong Feifei's words are not wrong at all, even the guards guarding the palace city can be controlled by foreign spies, what else can't be done?

Ants still steal life, let alone the people who are the elders? If the person who is under the Gu threatens with his life, the group of people who are pinched in the palm of his hand will still not obey him. Such painstaking deployment should not only be for the sake of establishing prestige among the guards.

Everyone present understood this truth, but what they couldn't figure out was why Lao Li suddenly fell ill, could it be that the Gu people forgot to give him the antidote?

Thinking that there were many things that he was not clear about, Qin Keqing suddenly felt sad in his heart, and sighed: "The feeling of being kept in the dark is really infuriating. ”

As she spoke, she walked to the window, stretched out her hand and pushed the window open, and the sunlight shone in through the crack in the window and sprinkled on the ground.

Wen Ziqi took a long breath of fresh air, glanced back at Lao Li, who was panting on the bed, and said slyly: "Everyone must have heard of killing chickens and monkeys." ”

In addition to Qi Le, the other two women all nodded in response: "Of course I heard it," Nangong Feifei asked even more puzzled: "Brother Wen, what do you mean by this?" ”

Qi Le on the side nodded and glanced at everyone blankly, and asked in a low voice, "Lord Wen, what is it called killing chickens and making an example of monkeys?" ”

Wen Ziqi smiled slightly, and said softly: "You'll know when I finish speaking." ”

"Oh" Qi Le nodded, and stood aside respectfully.

Wen Ziqi looked around, and when he saw that everyone was silent, he coughed lightly and said, "You may wonder why I was halfway through the treatment and left him to fend for himself." ”

The second daughter did not deny it, and nodded slowly. On the other hand, Qi Le hurriedly shook his head, and said, "I don't have this idea, there must be a reason for you to do this." ”

Wen Ziqi was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and chuckled, and then said: "Because I suddenly thought of something, I let it go." ”

Nangong Feifei let out a puzzled "huh", and asked in surprise: "Brother Wen, I remember that you said that human life is greater than the sky, but now you don't care about him, I'm afraid this is a bit unreasonable!" Saying this, his expression changed, and he said with a sly face: "Could it be that Brother Wen has become a person who sells fame and reputation!" ”

Wen Ziqi took Nangong Feifei's abuse to heart, knowing that she also said it casually, so she laughed it. continued: "Because I thought that if I completely treated it, it would be equivalent to exposing the fact that the Gu technique was discovered. ”

Qin Keqing's eyes narrowed slightly and looked at him silently, as if he was carefully savoring everything he had just heard.

After a long time, seeing her look relieved, she suddenly said, "Oh, I see! ”

Nangong Feifei is also a shrewd person, and after thinking for a while, she also nodded and said, "Understood!" ”

Looking at the sudden realization of each one, Qi Le scratched his head and muttered, "What do you all understand?" The more I listened, the more confused I became! ”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, Wen Ziqi raised his eyebrows, and said in a soft tone: "Qi Le, you boldly think about it, why I only treated half of it." ”

Qi Le let out an "ah" in surprise, then frowned and thought hard, and muttered: "Save half, it's not that you don't save it, that is to say, adults just make sure that their lives are not in danger!" Speaking of this, he raised his eyes and looked at Wen Ziqi, as if he was asking.

Wen Ziqi smiled and said slowly: "Yes, that's it." So why do I just make sure it's not life-threatening and don't treat it thoroughly? ”

As if he didn't expect Wen Ziqi to ask him next, Qi Le said with a surprised face: "My lord, still ask me?" ”

Wen Ziqi nodded with a smile and said with a straight face: "Of course, you have to think for yourself, so that you will think about it." ”

Seeing that he was not joking, Qi Le lowered his head and muttered: "How do I know why, you think too highly of me." ”

Nangong Feifei, who had been beside the bed, looked at the two of them with a smile, shook her head and said, "It's not that he looks down on you, it's that you look down on yourself too much." Seeing that you are racking your brains, let me remind you, what would happen if Lao Li returned to the palace unharmed? ”

Qi Le didn't think about it, and said, "Of course the big guy is happy, Brother Pao Ze was spared, of course it's something to be happy about!" ”

Nangong Feifei shook her head and said lightly: "Sibling brotherhood is envious of others, but what would he think if the person who was under the Gu was also among them, according to what you said?" ”

At his mention, Qi Le's face gradually turned pale, and a layer of sweat the size of a bean oozed from his forehead, and he couldn't help but gasp, lowered his tone and said, "I'm afraid he's more frightened than happy." ”

"What will happen after being frightened," Nangong Feifei glanced at his pale face and said with a smile: "If you were a Gu person, what would you do?" ”

Qi Le's eyes lowered, he thought about it for a while, and said, "If I am this Gu person, the first feeling is that my deeds have been revealed. ”

Wen Ziqi, who had been standing side by side, heard this, and couldn't help but look admiring on his face, so he asked, "What will happen then?" ”

Qi Le's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and after a little thought in this direction, he said: "If it is confirmed that the deeds have been exposed, then there are only two possibilities to deal with this matter, one is to fight up and turn the palace upside down, and the other is to go away from home and remain incognito from now on." ”

"Yes, that's right." Wen Ziqi clapped his hands applaudatively and said, "Then what if the deeds are not exposed, is it business as usual?" ”

Qi Le nodded suddenly and said, "The little one understands, it turns out that he is not completely cured, because he doesn't want to startle the snake." ”

Wen Ziqi looked happy, nodded slowly, and said, "That's exactly the case, so I just need to make sure that he doesn't have to worry about his life." ”

Qi Le, who was originally confused, suddenly became enlightened after such careful scrutiny just now, and he admired the adult in front of him even more.

In addition to being overjoyed, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and suddenly looked up at Wen Ziqi and said, "My lord, I understand how to scare the snake, but I still don't understand what is going on by killing chickens and monkeys." ”

As if expecting him to ask this question, Wen Ziqi smiled slightly, and said: "The person who is under the Gu is Miao Jiang's meticulous work, and he must have a plan hidden in the palace, you don't deny this." ”

Qi Le nodded, and said with a smile: "I tried my best, of course, I have a plan, if I don't have other ideas, why bother to come to my Great Zhou and do such a dangerous thing." ”

Qin Keqing, who had been silent, heard this, and immediately laughed softly: "You can get through at one point, and you will light up at one point." Now that you know all this, then you can tell me that this Lao Li should be taking medicine every day according to what you said before, how could he suddenly get sick? ”

Qi Le scratched his head shyly, and after a moment of silence, he whispered: "Xiao thinks so, there must be many people among the guards who have been tricked by him, and the reason why Lao Li is sick is that he can't afford the high cost and cut off the medicine." ”

Qin Keqing frowned, and said with a smile, "What about the second type?" ”

"Uh" Qi Le's face sank, and he seemed to be quite resistant to the idea of the second one, but he finally spoke: "The second possibility is that the person who gave the Gu deliberately made him sick. ”
