Chapter 80: Out for You
Wendi has been in good health these days, and Li Er came to practice with her at night to heal her injuries, and it was difficult to think about it.
He Baoyue and Xiao Qi were talking in the courtyard, and suddenly saw a milky white corner swaying at the door, and immediately turned their heads.
"Lord Wang." Seeing that Yu Chi Jincheng was accompanied by He Zi and Jiang Tao, Wen Di led someone forward and gently blessed his body.
"Is Concubine Ai's body better?" Holding her in a false hand, holding her hand by the way, Yu Chi Jincheng's good-looking phoenix eyes looked at her.
"Thanks to the prince's thoughts, it's much better."
Taking the tea handed over by Baoyue, Yu Chi Jincheng took a sip and asked lightly, "Does Concubine Ai know what happened to my fourteenth brother?" ”
Hearing this, his brows moved slightly, and he looked at Yu Chi Jincheng: "Looking at the prince's radiant appearance, could it be that the fourteenth prince is ...... now Not good? ”
Yu Chi Jincheng laughed and patted the back of her hand gently: "This king knows that with the wisdom of Concubine Wen, he will definitely be able to guess." ”
After a pause, he leaned over again and said mysteriously, "He was assassinated." ”
"What?"
Wen Di was slightly surprised: Wei Chimo was assassinated? These princes have been restraining each other, and one of them was assassinated? Who is so bold?
"Concubine Ai, who does this think?"
Rubbing her bare hands, Yu Chi Jincheng asked with a smile. Ever since he decided that Wendi was in alliance with him, he had been fond of her in every way, at least in front of outsiders.
Wen Di rolled his eyes, the corners of his lips hooked a smile, and turned his head to Wei Chi Jincheng and said: "The concubine guesses, the princes have been fighting openly and secretly for so long, no matter who suddenly has an accident, it will break the balance of the situation, and this happened to happen after the concubine was kidnapped by him, and the concubine has a bold guess." ”
"Oh? Let's hear it. ”
Wei Chi Jincheng smiled, this little woman's cleverness impressed him, and he was even more curious about what kind of attitude the person who stood up for her was.
"Lord Wang, this person must be one of the instigations of the prince in the audience, and he designed an assassination attempt, the purpose of which must be to make other princes lose a competitor, and also reduce the possibility that they can join forces. Therefore, the concubine guessed that the person who assassinated him must have come from our palace, and he was loyal to the prince, strong in martial arts, and good at calculation. ”
Looking at her as a sellout, Yu Chi Jincheng touched the jade wrench in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "Then Aifei, who is this person?" ”
Wen Di smiled at him and said lightly: "The person who is the most loyal to the prince - Li Er." ”
"Hahaha!"
Yu Chi Jincheng smiled heartily, and He Zi was slightly shocked on the side: Although the martial arts of the Fourteenth Prince are not as good as those of Yu Chi Jincheng, they are not weak, Li Er was able to evade his secret guards and successfully assassinate the Fourteenth Prince in one fell swoop, this martial arts and courage are remarkable!
"It seems that Concubine Ai really thinks highly of him." Yu Chi Jincheng looked at her meaningfully, unable to tell whether it was a taste or a play.
Wen Di was not afraid of him, but smiled faintly and said: "The prince must not make fun of the concubine, the concubine has another conjecture." ”
"What else?"
"If it's really Li Er's doing, then does the prince want to reward him well?" Not in a hurry to say it, Wen Di just looked at him with a smile and asked playfully.
"Naturally, he has done such a great deed for this king, and this king naturally wants to reward him."
Wen Di nodded, and continued: "There is more...... He was a guard sent by the prince to protect the concubine, and the concubine was abducted in front of his eyes a few days ago, and he was injured again, although he was rescued by him later, according to his temperament, he must have felt uncomfortable. Therefore, the concubine thought that he had a selfish motive in doing this: that is, to find a place from the fourteenth prince. ”
"Ai Concubine, do you dare to say that you are not afraid of this king's taste?" Wei Chi Jincheng's hand turning his fingers did not move, but looked at her fixedly.
"Since the prince doesn't shy away from sending the most trusted person to his concubines, does he want to make himself taste?"
When she said this, Yu Chi Jincheng was slightly stunned, and then nodded again: "Concubine Ai, if you say that, this king is embarrassed to blame him." ”
"Lord Wang, you don't want to blame him at all, if you blame him, he is afraid that he will be punished by you a long time ago." Handed him a snack, and said with a smile.
"It's just that something happened to the fourteenth prince, is there any movement in the emperor?"
Wei Chi Jincheng shook his head and said: "Brother Fourteen's body is not good, and this time he was assassinated again, although the news was blocked, he still left without hesitation. The king believed that his father must have known about it, but he didn't say anything. ”
"Then the prince thinks, should I tell him or not about this matter?"
"This king has come to ask the concubine's opinion."
"The prince said that he laughed, the concubine is just your side concubine, why do you ask the concubine's opinion again?" Wen Di pouted.
"Naturally, I'm going to ask." Yu Chi Jincheng scratched the tip of her nose, "Father, the emperor even has to discuss national affairs with you, this king is just a little prince, his brother was assassinated, how can he not ask you?" ”
"The prince is the best at joking with his concubines." Wen Di pursed his lips and chuckled, and then said, "The concubine thinks that the prince might as well go to the palace and talk to the emperor quickly, and then take the initiative to ask Ying to investigate thoroughly." ”
"Oh? Why? Yu Chi Jincheng was puzzled.
"Dare to ask the prince, is the fourteenth prince assassinated in his own mansion or in some other place?"
"It's not in my own place."
Wen Di nodded and said, "That's right." The fourteenth prince has offended you, he knows that his identity is revealed, and the prince will definitely find a way to find him. Therefore, the fourteenth prince was assassinated, and the biggest suspect is naturally our seventeenth prince's mansion. ”
Yu Chi Jincheng raised his eyebrows: "In that case, then you still say that Li Er is loyal to this king and is good at calculation, which is obviously a good intention to do bad things, and you want to trap this king in injustice!" ”
"But, who are you, my lord? In the past few days, the prince has been busy looking for the whereabouts of his concubines, could it be that the princes and the emperor are not clear? Therefore, Li Er must be helping the prince by doing this. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"On the surface, the biggest suspect in the assassination of the Fourteenth Prince must be our Seventeenth Prince's Mansion. But not only did we take the initiative to ask the emperor for help, but we also showed that we didn't know anything about the mastermind behind the kidnapping of the concubines, so can the prince, your other brothers, still live their lives with peace of mind? ”
After Wen Di finished speaking, he looked at him. The man's good-looking phoenix eyes tightened slightly, and the corners of his lips also pulled a perfect arc.
"Ai Concubine, why does this king think that it is a pity that you are not a man and a minister?" He lifted her chin slightly, and his magnetic voice praised her.
"Prince, without further ado, please leave immediately, don't let other princes seize the opportunity."
Wen Di got up, blessed his body slightly, and bowed his head.
"Okay, concubine, and later, this king will come when he goes!"
After Wei Chi Jincheng finished speaking, with a wave of the sleeves of his robe, He Zi and Jiang Tao followed him.
It wasn't until their figures completely disappeared that Wen Di raised his head, and the smile in his eyes gradually turned cold. Conspiracy and calculation, she was dismissive, but she was involved in the royal battle, and she had to use such despicable means to make all threats invisible.
"Baoyue, Xiaoqi, this palace is tired, you don't have to accompany you, let's disperse." She finished coldly, turned and went back to the house.
Looking at each other, Xiao Qi and Bao Yue both shook their heads and walked away.
"Do you think that my words and deeds today are a little different from mine?" Wen Di sat on the chair, facing forward, and asked lightly.
"The so-called 'people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves', Niangniang's move is just for self-defense." Li Er's voice came, and then someone appeared behind her.
"Li Er, thank you for everything you have done for me."
She didn't look back, just continued in that faint tone. The scent of flowers in the air stimulated her senses again, making her feel that there was at least one other person worthy of her innocence.
"Niangniang, today's incident is just a way for Li Er to share his worries for the prince and avenge his mother." Li Er said lightly, "Besides, there is definitely more than one person who wants Yu Chi Mo to die. ”
"I know. I thought about it from the moment I heard about his assassination. Although you did this, you just found the right time to pick up the leak. ”
Li Er didn't speak, but he acquiesced in his heart, the coachman was also an assassin, they were just using each other, but he was more forbearant and won the final victory.
"You say, will the fourteenth prince die?"
"If that woman from Qingfeng Hall is fast enough, maybe Lan Yu can save him, but if he wants to engage in any conspiracy in the short term, I'm afraid it's impossible."
"Why didn't you kill him with a single sword?" Wen Di turned his face slightly, a little puzzled.
"Does the side concubine hate the fourteenth prince so much?"
sighed lightly, and said, "Li Er, don't you hate him?" ”
"He is a stumbling block on the way forward for the prince, and he is rude to his mother, Li Er naturally hates him! It's just that he still has an identity, that is, the emperor's own son and the prince's brother. The matter of killing my brother should be decided by the prince himself. ”
Snorted lightly, Wen Di said quietly: "You are calm." ”
"Niangniang, if it is because of Li Er's mercy, I will ask Niangniang to punish her, and Li Er will never complain!"
Turning around, he looked at him standing there with his head bowed respectfully, dressed in black to perfectly outline his tall and sturdy body, obviously just a secret guard, but his natural nobility was not inferior to Wei Chi Jincheng.
Wen Di shook his head: "That's it, you are also acting for me, how can I blame you?" ”
"Thank you for the grace of not sinning."
He pressed his head lower and didn't look into her eyes.
"Li Er, who do you hope can win the final battle?"
Looking at him, Wen Di asked for a while.
Li Er raised his head and looked at Wen Di with some surprise: "What does Niangniang mean by this?" ”
Wen Di said: "Although I give advice to the prince, in my heart, I have always believed that our emperor is the one who really knows everything." I'm afraid that when the time comes, things have been done, and smart will be mistaken by smart. ”
"Niangniang and peace of mind, Li Er's promise to Niangniang remains unchanged. Even if something goes wrong in the future, Li Er will do his best to protect his mother. ”
Shaking his head slightly, Wen Di walked up to him and gently stroked the cold mask.
"Li Er, today you stand up for me, and tomorrow I will do my best to protect you. It's just that you and I are just beings who are being used and manipulated at will on the road of power, and I just hope that we can help each other more. ”
Grabbing her little hand and putting it down gently, Li Er nodded, and disappeared into a piece of floral fragrance.
