Chapter Ninety-Six: Zhao Er confesses
Her eyes suddenly swept to the retinue who was standing quietly aside, and said casually: "Your Highness, this retinue is very unfamiliar. ”
Not as energetic as the previous one, this one is quiet, always with his head down, and he doesn't see anything he says, and he is a person with a very low sense of existence.
She noticed that when she mentioned the retinue, the prince's body stiffened and the expression on his face became a little unnatural.
But the entourage, with a calm demeanor, kept the rules very well, and still stood quietly aside without saying a word.
Luo Qi's words also attracted He Wen's attention, and he looked at the man, such a steady and orderly entourage is very rare, "You, raise your head." ”
When the attendant heard this, he first paused, then slowly raised his head, and a plain face appeared in front of everyone.
That face is very ordinary and popular, if you don't deliberately remember it, you can't remember what he looks like, and it is extremely difficult to find others in the crowd.
If there is anything special, it is probably that this person is too calm.
Luo Qi looked at his eyes, those eyes were too calm, like a puddle of stagnant water, no matter how the conditions outside changed, there were still no ups and downs as always.
He gives people the feeling that it's like ...... Puppet!
Luo Qi's eyes looked away, she first glanced at the prince, and when she saw the prince nodding at her, she pretended to retract her gaze casually.
He Wen only noticed his appearance, and when he saw that it was an ordinary face, he withdrew his gaze.
He is only interested in good-looking people.
The prince and He Wen are in the same space, and the atmosphere will be inexplicably a little awkward, after all, one is a loyal and honest prince, and the other is an unruly prince, these two people are together, and there is nothing to talk about at all.
Luo Qi saw that the two of them looked at each other, silent, even if it was so, what else did it mean, it was all staring at each other.
She thought for a moment, and then said in a slightly hurried voice: "Ben will suddenly remember that there is still official business that has not yet been handled. ”
"Then General Luo, go quickly." The prince smiled softly and gave the impression of being very understanding.
"Your Highness and the Son ......"
"Since General Luo has something to do, then the palace will not bother the general."
He Wen glanced at him, then turned his head to look at Luo Qi and said with a smile: "I have already consulted the general today, since the general has something, then the prince of the world will also go back with the son." ”
"Huh? He Shizi follows the main palace? The prince asked, a little puzzled.
"His Royal Highness returned to the palace, and this prince also happened to go to find Brother Mo, isn't this all the same way? Get together! This is a very good saying, but it is also very much in line with He Wen's temperament.
Luo Qi looked at the figures that they were walking together and gradually moving away, and his eyes kept falling on the entourage.
Although he followed the prince step by step like an ordinary little eunuch, Luo Qi still found that his steps were steady and light, and he was clearly a person who practiced martial arts.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded at her at that time, presumably he was the one in the know, but he didn't say it directly. So, what must he be afraid of......
The man followed her in the East Palace, even if he didn't do anything or say anything, which made her even more suspicious of his purpose.
This person, I'm afraid that the person who came is not good!
……
I thought that there were two distinguished guests during the day, and there would be nothing to do at night.
But I didn't want an unexpected person to come to Luo's Mansion at night.
The moonlight shone down, illuminating the entire Merlin, and occasionally a few clouds drifted by, obscuring the moonlight.
In the center of the Merlin, the woman leaned against the plum tree with her hands on her chest, and her eyes looked at the person wearing a large cloak and a hood opposite.
"Spying on my Luo Mansion, what do you mean?"
The person who came raised his hand and slowly lifted the black veil in front of him, revealing a serious face.
"Prime Minister Zhao?" Luo Qi's voice was slightly surprised, she really didn't expect that Zhao Er would come over at this time, she thought it was the same group of people from last time.
"It came suddenly, and the general was frightened."
There was no one else around him, and he came alone, and he still specially chose to see her in this Merlin, which means that he must not leak the news of his coming to Luo's Mansion.
Luo Qi glanced around, quietly, only the occasional "fluttering" of birds flying by.
She walked in the direction of Zhao Er, closer to some convenient points, if the voice is loud, it will attract others, and it is not wrong to be cautious.
"I don't know what Prime Minister Zhao is ...... What's the matter? ”
"I've never liked going around in circles, so let's just say it!" Zhao Er's eyes were full of seriousness, and Luo Qi looked into his eyes, and he didn't consciously become serious.
"I know that you have been investigating the battle of duckweed, so you must have heard about what happened recently!"
Luo Qi's eyes froze, "What Prime Minister Zhao Cheng said...... Those soldiers? ”
Zhao Er nodded, "The prime minister once advised you not to investigate this matter, but now it seems that they are too ambitious and ruthless. ”
"I'm afraid that one day, I will end up like those soldiers, either dead or injured. If so, I might as well tell you everything I know. ”
"Son, back then, your father was like you, he was an opponent on the battlefield, and he always only wanted to protect his family and country." He said with a faint smile on his face.
He admired General Luo Fengji, but it was a pity......
"There has been some turmoil in the border area for a long time, but it is only a small fight, and it is not the turn to send troops to suppress it, but suddenly one day, His Majesty came to me to talk about the border turmoil, and his words intentionally or unintentionally revealed that he wanted to send troops."
Luo Qi gradually frowned, "Why?" War means casualties, why is Your Majesty? ”
Zhao Er shook his head, did not respond directly to her words, and continued: "The battle of duckweed came too suddenly, and your father immediately set out after receiving the order. ”
"At first, I didn't think there was anything wrong, Shan Yuguo has always been arrogant and unreasonable, so this war will be fought!"
"But later, when I received a letter from your father, and learned that the grain and grass were in short supply, I immediately went back to your majesty, but your majesty said that the border was full of grain and grass, and then I began to guess your majesty's intentions."
When Luo Qi heard this, he was silent for a moment before he said, "So, what does Your Majesty want to do?" ”
He was silent, looked up at the crescent moon, and sighed, "Child, people's ambitions will only grow. Since ancient times, kings have been in power, and generals have been in charge of the army, so which king doesn't want the military power to be in his own hands? ”
"So you mean, Your Majesty, he's behind the scenes? Then the death of my father and brother is also ......"
Luo Qi's eyes widened slightly, and her left hand tightly grasped the jade pendant on her waist, she desperately wanted to know the answer from him.
