Chapter 111: There Are Other Considerations
Hua Yu silently sat in the Taishi chair she usually sat on, but she didn't dare to sit too solidly, she unconsciously straightened her back and became nervous.
Nangong Yi glanced at her quietly, seeing that she lowered her head and didn't smile, her heart suddenly had no bottom, she rushed into the palace with a bad face, but I was angry that I took advantage of her friend?
He read the few folds he had left, got up and walked to the door, whispered a few words to Xibai, closed the door and walked back.
Hua Yan's gaze involuntarily moved back as he walked away.
"Why did Chief Ikebana come to my house today?" Nangong Yi sat on the chair opposite her and asked politely.
Hua Yu was stunned for a moment, really surprised in her heart, didn't he know that I was injured?
"Ah, it's nothing," she thought for a moment, and said, "I want to tell Your Highness that I know that Miss Huaixi has returned, unscathed." β
Nangong Yi nodded, "Yes, this king heard that it was the prince of Qi who sent someone to send her back to the mirror lake, but Qingjiang Pavilion had just been burned, and this king took pity on her and the others and had nowhere to go, so he placed them in the area of Butterfly Lane." β
Hua Yu narrowed her eyes, "Since His Royal Highness knows the whereabouts of Miss Huaixi so early, why don't you send someone to Liuyun Guan to inform the poor Dao?"
Nangong Yi was a little stunned, and Hua Yuxin said to see how you lie.
If he didn't hide anything, why didn't he tell her that Huaixi had returned, and if he had sent someone to find her, how could he not know that she was seriously injured?
Nangong Yi quickly reacted, and said softly: "This is the negligence of this king, but this king thinks that since the prince of Qi also knows about this, and he lives in Liuyun Temple, he should tell you, so he didn't plan to do it too much, and he is not strange." β
"You are talking nonsense!" Hua Yu suddenly stood up and looked at him a little angrily, "The day Huaixi left the Rong'an Hou Mansion was the day when the two sons of the Cui family were interrogated by Dali Temple, how did His Highness know that Qi Feng sent her to Jinghu? Moreover, she was not rescued by Qi Ding, but was driven out by the Rong'an Hou Mansion on her own initiative, does His Highness really not know anything about this?"
Nangong Yi's face was silent, but her heartbeat was two beats faster, and she sighed, which made her angry again.
"Then why did the Rong'an Hou Mansion take the initiative to let go of Miss Huaixi?" he asked.
Hua Wei snorted: "Isn't it because His Highness ordered Cui Rong and Cui Li to be acquitted?"
Nangong Yi pondered for a while before speaking, and his voice was a little low: "It turns out that you know everything." β
Hua Yu was very puzzled, "Why did His Highness let the two of them go?" Do you know that it is rumored that His Royal Highness admires the girl Huaixi, and is afraid that Huaixi will encounter danger in the Rong'an Hou Mansion, so he has to release him?"
"Rumors don't have to be taken seriously. β
"Of course I won't take it seriously, Huaixi and His Highness have no intersection before, and I also believe that His Highness will not lose a big thing because of a small loss, and do something that ignores the overall situation because of small profits. When Hua Wei said this, her expression was very calm.
Judging from the various things after she came to Chang'an and came into contact with King Huai, Nangong Yi is a person who knows how to forbear and take care of the overall situation, and is thoughtful and thoughtful, even if there is a part of the plan that he can't take care of and can only give up, it is also under his acquiescence.
For example, the innocent girl who was refined into an elixir in the Beirong Palace, and the Taoist temple and Taoist priest who were misunderstood and attacked by the people after the Qiongzhou Festival. He should know that the conviction of Cui Rong and Cui Li is not only to punish the two ignorant sons of the family, but also to send a signal to the court and the people: he wants to govern the Rong'an Hou Mansion, deal with the wanton selfish behavior, and take back the rights scattered in the hands of the Chang'an magnates.
He should also know how humiliating it is for the court to acquit two people who should have been convicted of capital crimes, and how hasty and confused it is to make such a decision.
The people would not understand what kind of considerations he had, and what people talked about was the affairs of His Royal Highness King Huai, and whether he doubted whether he had the benefit of Rong'an Houfu, so that he had the motivation to change his fortune in court.
Hua Yu endured and endured, but still raised her head and asked directly, "Your Highness, I actually knew about it a long time ago, you know that Huaixi was locked up in the Rong'an Hou Mansion, you let go of Cui Li and Cui Rong, and sentenced them not guilty, but for me, I was threatened by Rong Anhou?"
Nangong Yi reflected her immature and serious little face into his eyes, his heart beat faster and faster, and he held his breath and concentrated his energy, so that he did not show panic.
After a while, he quietly spat out two words in reply to her.
"It's not. β
Hua Wei has been staring at him tightly in the short and long gaze, Nangong Yi is not a word, it is as natural as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, Hua Yu believes that there is no intention or opportunity to deceive her, when she heard this voice, her heart welled up with relaxation and loss at the same time.
If it was really because of her that Nangong Yi had to be constrained by the Cui family, then she was really sorry for King Huai, she was ashamed.
But if it wasn't because of her, she wasn't very willing.
Nangong Yi spoke again, this time his voice was a little softer, but his tone was very categorical, "Don't worry, this king ordered the release of the two sons of the Cui family, and it has nothing to do with the Dao Chief, and the Dao Chief does not need to blame himself, the reason why this king did this is actually because there are other considerations." β
Hua Wei frowned and asked, "What other considerations?"
Nangong Yi immediately started talking nonsense, "This king removed most of the officials in Qiongzhou, most of them are protΓ©gΓ©s of the Cui and Li families, this raid in Qiongzhou, this king has already had too much upper hand, but families like Rong'an Houfu and Huaiyang Houfu can not be brought down overnight, the so-called hundred-legged insects die but do not stiffen, if they are desperate to provoke turmoil, this is not what this king wants to see, so they can't be forced too hard." β
Hua Wei digested this passage with suspicion on her face.
Nangong Yi was serious and said with a little seriousness: "The Taoist chief is a person outside the world, he doesn't understand the balance of the court, and the way of being an official is normal, but please believe that the king let go of the two of them early in the morning, and it has nothing to do with the Taoist chief." β
"Ah," Hua Yu finished her doubts, and couldn't help but be embarrassed, touching her nose and saying, "I...... In fact, I don't have to think that Your Highness is because I made a decision, so I guessed, since it's not, then ...... Great, hahaha. β
Nangong Yi breathed a long sigh of relief, and said in her heart that she was just here to ask about it, not that he was angry that he had taken advantage of Huaixi, he finally let go.
"Then, I'm done asking what I want to ask, so I'll take my leave. Hua Yu said and stood up.
At this time, Xibai had just knocked on the door and came in, holding a plate of melons and fruits, and when he heard Hua Yan's farewell, he was a little at a loss and didn't know whether he should go forward.
Nangong Yi made a gesture and asked him to send the food to Hua Wei, ignoring what Hua Wei said, and said lightly: "Since the Taoist chief is here, this king just wants to ask the Taoist about what you mean." β
"Ah, Your Highness, please. Hua Yu was stunned and stood honestly in place.
"Now that Miss Huaixi has been released, does the flower chief still plan to pursue this matter to the Rong'an Hou Mansion?"
Hua Yan's face was solemn, and she immediately said: "I will investigate, not to mention that they are involved in the game, just because they are unclear about the evil sect, I can't ignore it." β
Nangong Yi knew that she would say this, so she said: "That king gave the Taoist chief a suggestion, things must be verified one by one, and I have a clue about the disappearance and arrest of Miss Huaixi." β
"What clues?"
"As far as this king knows, Qingjiang Pavilion was burned by a demon fire, this fire may be to hide the traces of the Huaixi girl, the Taoist might as well check who put this demon fire. β
Hua Yu was taken aback, and King Huai also felt that this fire was burning strangely, was it aimed at Lingxiao and her?
"With such a big stroke, you burned down Qingjiang Pavilion, just to let Huaixi be caught in the Houfu without knowing it?" Hua Yu narrowed her eyes, the fire in her heart rose up, and said angrily: "It's not like I don't want outsiders to know that Huaixi is still alive, it's like hoping that she really dies in this fire, these people are crazy!"
Nangong Yi's brows furrowed slightly.
