Chapter 232: Falling short
Seeing this scene, Vanilla, who was standing on the side, suddenly picked the corners of her lips coldly, and a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes!
Dongling Luoxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but pretended to be angry: "Damn! this bastard minion! Rou'er, you don't have to pay attention, I won't believe his nonsense!"
"Yes, thank you Emperor!" Min Xinrou bowed and smiled slightly, "This dragon robe was worn by the emperor, and it was the concubine who saw that the neckline was slightly damaged, so she ordered Vanilla to take this one from the emperor, and asked Guan Qihai to enter the palace to repair it." But isn't it ridiculous that he actually said that this is the one that the masked man told him to do?"
Dongling Luoxi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly laughed: "Exactly, will I usurp my own throne?"
Min Xinrou covered her mouth and smiled, and then frowned suspiciously: "However, Guan Qihai's reminder, the concubine found out that the patterns on the necklines of these two dragon robes are indeed yellow and white, why is this? Your Majesty, why don't you send someone to check your dragon robe immediately to see if it is generally white as Guan Qihai said." ”
Donglin Luo Xi's eyes flashed with a dark light, and he wanted to get away with it, but when he saw Duanmu Wenxuan next to him, and then looked at Min Xinrou's eyes that seemed to have a deep meaning, he had to pretend to nod: "Come on, pass on Ma Wenying!"
Not long after, Ma Wenying arrived, and immediately went to inspect after receiving the order, and soon returned in a hurry, saying that what Guan Qihai said was true, and the rest of the dragon robes were indeed white lines.
Min Xinrou sneered when she heard this: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is very strange! Earlier, he said that Yun'er made the dragon robe privately and plotted against him to usurp the throne, but if this is the case, how could this dragon robe appear in the palace and be worn on the emperor? Isn't this too incredible?"
Dongling Luoxi had already blown up his lungs in secret, and had to try his best to put on a deep face: "That's right! I didn't believe that Yun'er would be so rebellious, and there was really a big problem! According to me, I'm afraid it's ...... I'm afraid that Guan Qihai is lying!"
"Makes sense. Min Xinrou nodded in agreement, "He said that he was kidnapped, forced to sew dragon robes, and later murdered, but everything is his words, and he doesn't have half a witness, so he can naturally say whatever he wants!"
Tanglin Luo Xi gritted his teeth, his face full of anger: "You mean he slandered Yun'er? So, does he have any personal grudges with Yun'er?"
"I'll have to ask Yun'er about this, or ask himself when he wakes up. Min Xinrou frowned slightly, "The concubine just thinks that this matter is full of weirdness from beginning to end. Your Majesty, think about it, even if Guan Qihai designed all this to frame Yun'er, then why did he say in public that this dragon robe was evidence of Yun'er's rebellion?
Tanglin Luoxi is already one or two years old, and he doesn't understand what is going on if he wants to break his head, and the whole person is going crazy!
Gritting his teeth, he nodded reluctantly: "It's really weird, it looks like you have to ask Guan Qihai to see what the hell he's doing!"
Min Xinrou nodded and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, no matter what the truth is, at least Yun'er has no questions, right?" ”
A touch of unwillingness quickly flashed in Dongling Luoxi's eyes, and the hands in his sleeves were already clenched into fists, and he nodded with a smirk: "Now it seems that Yun'er has been wronged." Rest assured, I will comfort him. Rou'er, I still want to interrogate Guan Qihai, you can rest first!"
"Congratulations to the emperor!"
Straightening up, Min Xinrou smiled coldly, but when she spoke again, her voice had become gentle: "Youning, hard work!"
"Vanilla" smiled faintly, but did not speak.
Back in the imperial study, Dongling Luo Xi was not in the mood to interrogate Guan Qihai at all, and directly ordered someone to put him in prison, and then blasted everyone out, closing the doors and windows so angry that he kept muttering and cursing!
The so-called "King Zhan's secret dragon robe and plot to usurp the throne" naturally did not exist, everything was just a bureau set up by him, and the purpose was to make Dongling Guyun completely lose his qualification to become the crown prince! In this way, he only needed to get Duanmu Youning in his hands or give it to Tanglin Chenyang, and the prophecy of the Venerable Master Qingyin would be fulfilled!
Originally, he wanted to discuss with Guan Qihai and let him cooperate with him to act in a play. However, after thinking about it, he changed his mind: Dongling Guyun is incomparably smart, Guan Qihai can't be his opponent at all, and he will definitely be seen to be flawed in three or two clicks!
So, he instead ordered the Ouchi secret agent to pretend to be a masked man, and really kidnapped Guan Qihai. Guan Qihai sewed dragon robes for the emperor all the year round, and he could see at a glance whether it was true or not, and if he fooled him with a random piece of clothing, it would be easy to expose flaws. Therefore, Tanglin Luoxi took a dragon robe of his own and handed it to them, and asked them to start acting according to the script they had written in advance.
Everything went very smoothly. Because he had already learned that Guan Qihai's heart was different from ordinary people, Tanglin Luoxi secretly ordered Ouchi to spy on his left chest, and pretended not to notice that he had woken up, and said something like "The prince is going to get married". Guan Qihai didn't know the inside story, but he really believed it.
Tanglin Luo Xi knows very well that if he insists that Dongling Guyun is plotting to usurp the throne because of this, then not only Dongling Guyun himself refuses to admit it, but the people of the world will not believe it. Therefore, he deliberately ordered Tangling Chenyang to find out the truth, and at the same time quietly placed Dongling Guyun under house arrest.
Because it was a bureau set up by himself, Tanglin Luoxi was very proud, thinking that Dongling Chenyang would never find out the truth, so Dongling Guyun would always be suspected of "plotting to usurp the throne", so how could he be qualified to be the prince again?
In such a bloodless solution to a great problem, Tanglin Luoxi thinks that he can sit back and relax from now on. Because Dongling Guyun had never done anything, of course he would not snub Concubine Rou because of this.
Who knew that everything that he thought was perfect was suddenly changing in the situation, and Guan Qihai actually said a lot of "yellow lines and white lines" inexplicably!
After the Ouchi secret agent took the dragon robe back, he didn't think much about it at all, so he ordered someone to take it and clean it, where would he pay attention to what color the line on the pattern was? The most hateful thing is that since Guan Qihai made this mark, why didn't he tell him in advance, he could just destroy this dragon robe and never suffer in the future!
Just now Guan Qihai has a lot of words, and what he said is true, and more importantly, the "yellow line" dragon robe is indeed the only one, Min Xinrou Duanmu Wenxuan is guarding the side, if he forcibly ignores it, he can't say anything at all, it will only make things worse.
In desperation, he was born as a military general, so he simply made a ruthless move and kicked Guan Qihai unconscious, no matter what, he would take a breath of relief first!
But what if it is relieved? This painstakingly designed situation can be regarded as completely ruined! Guan Qihai's self-inflicted clever exposé actually cleared the wrongs for Dongling Guyun and ruined all his hard work!
As soon as he thought of this, Dongling Luo Xi became more and more angry, and his face turned pale, and he shouted: "Come on!
Not long after, the guards had brought Guan Qihai, who had just woken up, into the imperial study. This gentleman didn't know what mistake he had made, and when he saw that Fang Cai was actually in the prison, he was already frightened, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "The emperor spares his life!
"Shut up!" Dongling Luo Xi scolded coldly, waved his hand and ordered the guards to retreat, "Guan Qihai, you were rude to Rou'er in every way, and you still expect me to spare my life?"
Guan Qihai slammed his head more and more: "The emperor spares his life! The minister doesn't dare to be rude to his mother! It's just that the minister didn't know what was going on, as if someone had cast a soul trick, and he didn't know what he said!"
Dongling Luo Xi was originally full of anger, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and instantly alerted: "What are you talking about?dementorship?what's going on?!"
At this time, Guan Qihai couldn't hide it, and immediately said: "Back to the emperor: In fact, Fang Caichen has seen the emperor shaking his head at the minister, and he originally didn't plan to continue to say anything. But in that moment ...
, but the minister suddenly felt dizzy, and his mind was in chaos, although he desperately wanted to stop, his mouth was uncontrollable......!
Tanglin Luoxi's expression became more and more solemn: "And what?!"
"And the minister vaguely felt that someone seemed to have been talking in the minister's ear!" Guan Qihai took a breath and said carefully, "Then the minister didn't know what was going on, so he couldn't help but continue!"
Tanglin Luo Xi only felt his whole body tighten, and a swishing cold air came up from his backbone! Gritting his teeth, he then asked, "Then the yellow line you said ...... it?"
"This is true!" Guan Qihai nodded, "The minister did make such a mark at that time, but he never imagined that he would actually see that dragon robe in the palace." At first, the minister was too surprised to blurt out. After calming down, I felt that it was inappropriate, and I wanted to shut up but I couldn't help myself......"
Tanglin Luoxi understood, they were all calculated!
This person somehow learned that Guan Qihai made a mark on the dragon robe, and then deliberately let him see the dragon robe, and then used soul dementorship to force him to tell the truth, thus successfully clearing Dongling Guyun's suspicion!
So who is this person? The only people present at that time were Min Xinrou and Duanmu Wenxuan, and then the maid Vanilla, these people didn't seem to have such skills, and they had never heard that they knew how to do soul magic! Could it be that there were still masters hiding in the dark to manipulate everything?
That's very likely, Yun'er is an undefeated god of war after all, and the masters under his command are like clouds! What's more, maybe he just hid in the shadows and personally controlled Guan Qihai with soul dementorship!
But the biggest question is, how did he know that Guan Qihai had made a mark on the dragon robe? How did he know that the dragon robe had returned to the palace? These two points really don't make sense!
The more he couldn't make sense, the more he brought out the terrifying Dongling Guyun! How much of his ability was unknown? Why was a plan that seemed to be seamless so vulnerable in his hands?
