Well, our princess has lost her temper.

Maybe she didn't realize that since she broke into Wu Ning's room that day and saw the purple jade dragon pendant, she no longer regarded Wu Ning as her younger brother, but as a real man.

At this time, Wu Ning's smile at everything made Taiping feel quite distressed, and he couldn't help but hate: "That slap is light!" ”

Okay, our Royal Highness the princess is referring to the slap that slapped Wu Qi today.

Wu Ning paid so much for him, obviously Wu Lao Shi didn't appreciate it.

......

"Does the Mother Mother know about this?"

In Taiping's opinion, if the old lady knew about this, then it would be good for the old lady to plan, why should Wu Ning bear everything for it.

Wu Ning smiled, "Your Majesty doesn't know, how can there be a situation of acquiescence today?" ”

said indifferently: "The time I entered the palace from Yangguan to Beijing, I had already made it clear to Your Majesty." ”

For this answer, Taiping was not surprised.

The old lady acquiesced to Wu Chenghei's position as the crown prince, which was extremely abnormal. It's unlikely to say that it's not boring.

Only Wu Chengsi, a nerd, would feel complacent that he had gained something.

"So, these arrangements between you and Your Majesty are all for Wu Qi? In order to deceive Wu Chenghe? ”

Wu Ning smiled again, lowered his head and muttered for a moment.

"Not exactly."

"Huh?" Her Royal Highness the princess glared, and immediately felt a pain in her brain.

"Not all? What else? ”

The situation is complicated enough to get to this point, isn't it all the truth? The only trouble left is the question of who will inherit the throne between Wu Laojiu and Hao Laoshi.

But now, Wu Laojiu actually said that it wasn't all because of Wu Qi?

Don't...... What else is hidden?

"Yes!" Wu Ning nodded affirmatively, "Moreover, the truth is far from being as simple as imagined. ”

This answer made Taiping's scalp tingle for a while, "Why isn't it simple?" ”

"You're ignoring someone."

"Who?"

"Xiao Lao Dao."

"Xiao Lao Dao?" Taiping frowned, "Xiao Lao Dao is not...."

"Isn't he in the same group as Helan Minzhi?"

I only heard Wu Ning say: "All people, all the truths, seem to have surfaced." What Xiao Laodao did seemed to be really helping Helan Minzhi, but..."

"Your Highness, think about it, is this really the case?"

This matter seems to be: the old lady was pregnant back then, and in order not to affect the court situation, she had to hide it under the guise that Helan Minyue was pregnant.

However, Helan Minyue died unexpectedly, so the old lady couldn't hide it, so she could only ask Meng Cangsheng's master and apprentice to take Lao Shi out of the palace and hand it over to Helan Minzhi to hide.

And Helan Minzhi didn't know the truth, thinking that Lao Shi was Helan Minyue's child, and the old lady poisoned Helan Minyue out of jealousy, and she has held a grudge since then.

So, there was a later one, and the old ten were sent to Fangzhou and Wu Changlu was raised on his behalf. And he was convicted, escaped with the help of Meng Cangsheng and Xiao Laodao, and went to Taoyunling to find me, an orphan, to take with him in case of emergency. ”

"Then, Your Highness will know about it, right?"

"When I accepted Meng Haoran as my son, Li Chongrun took out the purple jade pendant, and I knew that it was exclusive to the royal family. And I don't have it, but I do! ”

"Therefore, I realized that I was the stand-in for Lao Shi, and I was even more determined to leave this right and wrong."

"Helan Minzhi was also at this time, seeing that I was leaving, he resorted to a poisonous plan. At the cost of unjustly killing the mountain pass, I stayed, and I was determined to take revenge. ”

"In the ten years since I developed the Long Road Dart Bureau and came to Jingshi, Helan Minzhi has also been under the protection of Xiao Laodao, and he has stumbled me again and again."

"Including going to the Long Road Dart Bureau, prompting me to go north to Yangguan to save people, it was also Xiao Laodao who personally ended up, as if it was instructed by He Lanmin."

“......”

Taiping was silent for a while, and followed Wu Ning's words to smooth out this past, but he still couldn't figure it out.

"This ...... Is there anything wrong? ”

I only heard Wu Ning say: "Don't you think that Xiao Laodao is a little contradictory?" ”

"Contradiction?"

"Yes!" Wu Ning's eyes narrowed, "Your Highness, think about it, before the disaster in Xiashan Pass, who did Xiao Lao Dao help do?" ”

"Help ....."

Taiping was stunned for a moment, and his hairs stood on end in an instant.

"Help the Mother!!"

At that time, Wu Ning and Helan Minzhi's every move, including some conversations in private occasions, could reach the old lady's ears word for word.

Isn't it exactly what Xiao Laodao and Meng Daoye secretly reported?

"That's right!" Wu Ning also became more and more dignified, "But, why did he suddenly help Helan Minzhi do so many things later?" ”

"It's inconsistent."

In fact, except for the fact that Wu Qi was born to the old lady, Xiao Laodao may not know, and all the other things, as Xiao Fandao, who is Wu Zetian's dark sentinel, are all clear.

However, why did Xiao Laodao first help the old lady monitor Helan Minzhi, and then went down the mountain to the catastrophe, he made another 18-degree turn and began to help Helan Minzhi?

"And, most importantly, and most suspicious!!"

He helped the old lady spy on Helan Minzhi for more than ten years. But he missed the most important piece of news. ”

"That is: Wu Qi is the child who was brought out of the palace, and I am just a stand-in!"

"Shhh Taiping gasped, and his scalp was even more numb.

He ..... What is he going to do? ”

"Huh." Wu Ning laughed dryly, "I don't know." ”

"We all feel that the tragedy of the Xiashan Pass, the confusion of my identity and that of Lao Shi, and all the turmoil in the past 20 years, the culprit is Helan Minzhi."

"But I ......"

Wu Ning let out a playful smile, "But how do I think that Helan Minzhi is just a pawn carried away by hatred." ”

"Even his hatred could have been planted in his heart by others?"

"This matter is far from that simple!"

Bang, Princess Taiping sat down, she couldn't believe her ears.

She has seen court battles and all kinds of blood, but it is definitely not as complicated as the mystery in front of her.

Originally, she thought that Helan Minzhi would be captured, and the drama they designed to turn Wu Ning and the old lady against each other was also difficult for Wu Ning to resolve, and all this should have passed.

The peaceful days have finally come.

However, after Wu Ning said this, it turned out that there was still so much confusion.

In a daze, I only heard Wu Ning say in a deep voice: "Now, I can't tell why Xiao Lao Dao is so contradictory, and what deeper calculations there are." ”

"However, until we figure it out, it's safer to maintain the status quo."

"If there is really something wrong with Xiao Laodao, then he will jump out again sooner or later."

......

——————————————

Xiao Laodao, that is, the uncle of Princess Taiping.

Our Royal Highness the princess really can't imagine that that somewhat obscene and very cheesy old Taoist priest still hides such an inscrutable side.

seemed to think of something, and blurted out: "Since Daoist Xiao has a problem, then Meng Cangsheng ......"

When Wu Ning heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand: "Dao Ye must be fine." ”

Meng Cangsheng don't look at the old lady, and Xiao Laodao has been an errand runner for so many years, but Wu Ning still understands Meng Cangsheng's personality.

If he belonged to the same hill as Xiao Lao Dao, then the old Taoist priest would never have the idea of passing on the mantle to Meng Cangsheng.

Besides, the catastrophe of the mountain pass ten years ago had already made Dao Ye completely disheartened by the court battle. Now he is just a Jianghu person.

"I didn't mean that." Seeing Wu Ning's denial, Taiping hurriedly defended, "Senior Brother Meng's personality is still understood by this palace." ”

"I mean, he's been following Xiao Lao Dao for so many years, isn't he aware of it?"

"Nope." Wu Ning still shook his head, "I have had a detailed chat with Dao Ye, they have been masters and apprentices for so many years, and Xiao Lao Dao has never had any suspicious behavior. ”

"So I'm not sure if he's doing it."

......

Maybe Wu Ning thought too much, maybe Xiao Laodao hid it too well, in short, the puzzle came to Xiao Laodao, and it was once again at an impasse.

I saw Wu Ning spread his hands lonely, "Now I can only stop thinking about him, and straighten out Wu Qi's affairs for the time being." ”

"Moreover, bigger trouble than these things that are struggling is coming soon!"

Taiping subconsciously asked, "What's the trouble?" ”

"Oops!" Wu Ning frowned, quite impatient, "Don't ask, you can't help anyway." ”

"Something about the court."

"......." Taiping was speechless for a while, and sure enough, he didn't ask more.

It's not really that she is not curious, but looking at Wu Ning, it really makes her unable to raise any other interests.

Wu Laojiu is still a slut now, let alone a wise man, he has been swept by the whirlpool of the royal family, and he is dying.

Just like his name - there is no peace in life, since the day he met Wu Ning in Taiping, he really has no peace for a moment, and he has never stopped half a step.

However, even so, he still had to take into account the feelings of the Wu family brothers and bear those hardships alone. also had to hide from Wu Qi and help him pave the way silently.

I also have to think about living up to the court and Qin Miaoniang.

He's really, so tired!

Slowly walked to Wu Ning's side, took Wu Ning's hand, like when his sister and brother were commensurate with each other in the past, and said affectionately: "In the future, don't carry everything alone, talk to me, maybe I can help you share one or two." ”

Taiping is the expression of true feelings, but also out of good intentions, the result....

"Huh! Eh, eh!! ”

Wu Laojiu's face suddenly changed, hiding from the peace like a plague.

"I'm ...... I'll tell you, let's ...... We're not brothers and sisters now, man...... Do men and women kiss each other, do you understand? ”

“.......”

Taiping's face is green, and his kindness is treated as a donkey's liver and lungs.

By the time she came back to her senses, Wu Ning had quietly left her side, playing with a porcelain cup on the table indifferently.

"That's right." Wu Ning returned to his former ease, "There is one thing I don't quite understand. ”

"The last time I was in front of the palace gate, and the night when Wu Chenghei was in Cambodia, since you knew that I was not born to the old lady, why did you seem to want to stop me from fighting for the throne, but in fact there was no substantive action."

"Why?" This time, Wu Ning raised his head playfully and looked at Taiping, "Isn't it ......?"

"You also think that it should be good for me to be the emperor, right?"

“......”

Taiping rolled his eyes, Wu Ning's stinky and beautiful demeanor wiped out the previous good feeling at once.

came angrily: "The old lady feels sorry for you!" Okay, right? ”

After speaking, he threw up his sleeves and walked into the inner room: "You sleep outside tonight, and this palace is too lazy to talk to you." ”

“......”

Wu Ning glanced at the chaise longue that was not comfortable to sleep on, and shouted towards the inner hall: "No, I'm all faced, don't I even have the treatment of a bed?" ”

seems to be afraid that Taiping will not agree, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in you, I promise not to use my hands and feet." ”

"Get out!"

There was a resentful scolding from Taiping, and then there was no life.

Wu Ning grinned, turned around and lay on the couch, with a long-lost smile on the corner of his mouth.

It was just a joke with Taiping just now, but in fact, he is extremely grateful to Taiping now.

Because this time, Taiping really helped him a lot.

......
