Lin Xiuyuan was suspicious, but he still planned to gamble.

Once the bet is won, Lin Hongyi will never be his opponent again......

There is no evidence empty-handed, and physical evidence needs to be certified.

The matter was quickly prepared in secret, and Lin Xiuyuan used the excuse of pacifying the bandits and sent people to lead troops to Lin Hongyi's fiefdom, wanting to catch the disciple of the Afterlife Pavilion and grasp the evidence of Lin Hongyi's crime.

Even if he can't grasp the evidence of the crime, exterminating the Afterlife Pavilion in one fell swoop will be a great blow to Lin Hongyi.

The queen's decree was sent to Prince Hong's mansion at this time.

"Prince Hong, the queen is sympathetic to Prince Hong, and specially pointed out these two women from good families to be Prince Hong's side concubines, and this marriage will trouble you." The eunuch said.

Xu Qingqing nodded and agreed, and when the eunuch walked away, Zilu on the side immediately hugged the grievance: "Niangniang, this queen is too hateful, knowing that His Royal Highness is in harmony with your husband and wife, she wants to stuff the side concubine into the house, isn't this sincere and can't get along with you?" ”

There is also this eunuch, who keeps saying that he is a "woman from a good family", he clearly intends to step on the identity of the princess of the former dynasty, which is really unbearable!

"What's there to be angry about, which prince is not three wives and four concubines, Lin Hongyi only married one of me, and it is reasonable for the queen to give him Zhang Luona's concubine." Xu Qingqing said.

Zilu glanced at her, and said in her heart that you said so, but the eyes were obviously not like this......

Xu Qingqing turned around and went back to the room, and as soon as she sat down and had a cup of tea, Lin Hongyi came over.

He dismissed a few maids, came behind Xu Qingqing alone, looked at her stunned back, as if a string had been gently plucked in his heart, and his indifferent gaze unconsciously softened a little: "What are you thinking?" ”

Hearing Lin Hongyi's voice, Xu Qingqing turned her head, but did not get up and salute: "I'm thinking, what kind of women did the queen mother pick for you, it won't be long before this mansion will be lively, and then there will be a fire in the backyard, don't be annoyed." ”

"Why does that sound vinegary?" Lin Hongyi asked.

He raised his sword eyebrows slightly, looking at her delicate little face, his eyes were a little playful.

"What kind of jealousy, who do you think is rare to be a princess for you?" Xu Qingqing didn't know where the fire came from.

"It's a big deal, this king rejected the queen, and he didn't accept them." Lin Hongyi coaxed.

Although it was to make her happy, it was also a big truth.

Looking at her somewhat angry little appearance, my heart softened a lot unconsciously, and the feeling was really subtle.

"Why don't you accept it, wouldn't it be better to have three wives and four concubines?" Xu Qingqing asked.

She didn't believe that this man could not be greedy for beauty.

"Three wives and four concubines are good." Lin Hongyi actually nodded.

Xu Qingqing was annoyed, and couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Lin Hongyi pinched the tip of her nose and smiled dotingly: "But this king already has a civet cat, why bother to provoke other women?" ”

"Who's a civet cat?" Xu Qingqing was not angry.

"It's you, naturally." Lin Hongyi pinched it again, "Except for you, a civet cat, who else dares to be so angry in front of this king?" ”

Xu Qingqing thinks that she is not a woman with a big temper, but for some reason, there is always a little bit of evil in the face of this iceberg.

Fortunately, she quickly regained her usual sanity, and looked at Lin Hongyi suspiciously: "You really don't plan to take a concubine?" ”

Lin Hongyi nodded: "Why did this king lie to you?" ”

"But how should the queen explain?" Xu Qingqing asked.

"This king has his own way." Lin Hongyi didn't take this little thing to heart.

"I heard that those two women were sinking into the fish and geese, and the moon was shy of flowers, are you really willing to do it?" Xu Qingqing couldn't help but ask again.

"I heard that the king's concubine is beautiful and fragrant, and she is one in a million, how can this king be willing to make her jealous?" Lin Hongyi asked rhetorically.

Xu Qingqing's ears were slightly red when she heard this: "When did you become so flamboyant?" ”

"If this king is not flamboyant, won't you continue to be angry and jealous?" Lin Hongyi said.

He has never coaxed a woman to be happy, but fortunately, there is a Mu Zhao by his side, who always gives him ideas.

Originally, he didn't take this concubine matter to heart at all, but Mu Zhao reminded him that Xu Qingqing would definitely care about it.

Now it seems that his deputy is not wrong.

If he followed his usual indifferent temperament, there was a chance that Xu Qingqing would be sad.

In fact, this is not the credit of Mu Zhao alone, if it weren't for Zilu telling Mu Zhao in time and asking Mu Zhao to speak, Lin Hongyi would not have appeared here in such a timely manner.

Xu Qingqing thought about it, but still felt that something was wrong: "No...... The emperor gave me to marry you because no one in this world hates me more than you, and now you don't take a concubine, which just means that you don't hate me at all, not only do you hate me, but you also care about my feelings everywhere, so the emperor will definitely be suspicious in his heart. ”

This is not unreasonable, after all, others don't know that Xu Qingqing is not Xu Yuanyu, especially the emperor, who has never had any doubts in this matter from beginning to end.

"By the way, didn't Xu Shuhuai take refuge in the queen, I heard that the queen is now very close to the eldest prince, you say...... Could Xu Shuhuai have already told those two people my identity? She asked, thoughtfully.

"He won't." Lin Hongyi shook his head.

"Why not?" Xu Qingqing was puzzled.

A hint of meaning flashed in Lin Hongyi's eyes: "Because this will make my father completely disgusted with this king." ”

Xu Qingqing didn't understand what he meant: "But he took refuge in the eldest prince, isn't it just to bring you down, isn't it a good thing for him to make the emperor disgusted with you?" ”

Lin Hongyi shook his head: "He is the king's person, how can he go to seek refuge in others?" ”

Xu Qingqing understood it: "You mean ......?"

"If he wants to bring down this king, he has a thousand or ten thousand ways, and he doesn't have to take refuge in the queen at all, let alone rely on the hands of the imperial brother." Lin Hongyi said.

"Then why did he do that?" Xu Qingqing's willow eyebrows frowned slightly.

Lin Hongyi didn't answer, but she quickly guessed what happened.

If it's just acting, there's no need to go through so much trouble, unless...... Unless Xu Shuhuai is not talking to the queen and the eldest prince at all, but is laying out for Lin Hongyi and killing the two of them.

Thinking about it like this, she couldn't help but be surprised.

It was not that I was surprised by Lin Hongyi's wrist and Xu Shuhuai's city, but I was surprised by Xu Shuhuai's loyalty.

She and Xu Shuhuai have only a few faces, and have always thought that person is just Lin Hongyi's friend, no matter how deep the relationship is, it is just that, and even Xu Shuhuai is very likely to have a grudge against Lin Hongyi because of the guilt, but now she is willing to pretend to cling to others for Lin Hongyi, clearing the way for Lin Hongyi's princely dispute......

"What is the relationship between you and Xu Shuhuai?" She couldn't help but ask.
