Chapter 19: A Shocking Conspiracy
"Why does this palace feel that Mr. Su has been a little absent-minded in recent days, is he worried about something?" Dugu Lianyu's slightly deep voice pulled Ruan Wushuang's thoughts back. The dark and uncertain eyes looked at her even more scrutinically.
Hearing this, Ruan Wushuang subconsciously raised his eyes and steadied himself quietly. The fact that Xiaowuji and Dugu were happy to turn against each other left a trace in her heart.
"Thank you for your concern, your subordinates didn't worry about anything, but they just thought of the nine exquisite things and lost their minds. She said softly and methodically, so that people could not see a flaw.
"Mr. also said that the Nine Turns Linglong has disappeared for more than hundreds of years, even if Xiaowuji and Qu Liufeng see the clues, they are not afraid of them. Dugu Lianyu thought that she was offering nine turns of exquisiteness at the birthday banquet and was worried, so she opened her mouth to comfort her. In my heart, I couldn't help but feel a little more satisfied with Ruan Wushuang.
"Yes. Ruan Wushuang replied with raised eyebrows.
Dugu Lianyu raised the lamp and took a sip, glanced at Ruan Wushuang, and said with a good smile: "This time this palace can sit on the throne of the prince, Mr. is really indispensable." ”
That day, Ruan Wushuang was called by the old emperor to the imperial study to test the tone, she pointed directly at Dugu Lianyu, and then after she left, the old emperor immediately called Dugu Lianyu to the palace, and then I don't know what they said, anyway, in the end, the old emperor preferred the position of Dugu Lianyu Prince, and on the day of the old emperor's birthday banquet, Dugu Lianyu promised to offer nine turns of exquisiteness.
"The subordinates don't dare to take credit, all this is what the subordinates should do. ”
"Alas, this merit should be remembered, and the gentleman should not be humble. Dugu Lianyu said with a good smile, since he sat on the throne of the prince, compared to the previous gloomy and uncertain Dugu Lianyu, but now it is much better.
"Yes. Dugu Lianyu has said this, she is rare to be "modest" again, the province is not flattering, after all, Dugu Lianyu's temperament is really incomprehensible, he can say all the good things to you in the last second, and he can screw your head off in the next second.
At this moment, Song Zichen's voice sounded outside the door.
"His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
Hearing the sound, Dugu Lianyu smiled on his face, and then returned to his previous gloomy silence. Ruan Wushuang's dark eyes flashed with a dark light, and then lowered his eyes.
"Come in. ”
As soon as the words fell, Song Zichen pushed the door and walked in, seeing that Ruan Wushuang was there, he subconsciously frowned, how could Su Ruan be here! Hiding his feelings, he turned around and closed the door, and walked to Ruan Wushuang's side in a few steps.
Dugu Lianyu glanced at the scroll of drawings in his hand, and asked slowly, "It's all done?"
Hearing this, Song Zichen hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Ruan Wushuang on the side meaninglessly.
"Mr. Su is his own person, it's okay, let's say it. Dugu Lianyu knew what Song Zichen was thinking, so he spoke. He didn't know why Song Zichen was always full of hostility towards Su Ruan.
"But......" Song Zichen's pupils shrank slightly, and before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Dugu Lianyu: "Are you questioning the words of this palace?" The tail note fell suddenly, and the cold light was shining for a while.
At this scene, Ruan Wushuang's heart couldn't help but feel cold, and then the corners of her mouth slightly hooked up a strange arc.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, since Lord Song has something to tell you, his subordinates will avoid it first. With a respectful tone, compared with Song Zichen, her actions were more favored by Dugu Lianyu. Of course, Song Zichen's actions must have some ulterior secrets to say, and she naturally doesn't want to avoid it, but sometimes it is still necessary to be "empathetic".
"It's okay, this palace asks you to stay, and you stay, no more than words. The green tendons between Dugu Lianyu's forehead faintly appeared. The tone was already a little angry, and he suddenly looked at Song Zichen with cold eyes.
Song Zichen's heart was cold, and his hand holding the drawings couldn't help but tighten, this Su Ruan really has some means, but sooner or later he will catch his handle, at this moment, he naturally won't know how to judge moderately, after glaring at Ruan Wushuang angrily, he said in a loud voice: "The things ordered by His Highness have been prepared, please take a look." ”
After the words fell, Song Zichen presented the drawings in his hand.
Ruan Wushuang was very interested in the content on the drawing, but she only saw the tip of the iceberg on the drawing, the drawing was estimated to be five, but she couldn't see the content on it, but she only saw a drawing similar to the map of the imperial city.
What does Dugu Lianyu want the blueprints of the imperial city for? Is it possible? It is impossible, now that he is the crown prince, he can't do it......... So what exactly did he want to do? Ruan Wushuang's mind swirled with countless questions.
"Okay, I didn't disappoint Hongu this time. After Dugu Lianyu finished looking at the drawings one by one, he couldn't help laughing.
Hearing this, Ruan Wushuang found that Song Zichen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Sir, I'd like to see what's on this drawing. Dugu Lianyu asked.
Song Zichen was shocked and was about to speak, but was stopped by Dugu Lianyu raising his hand.
What the hell is this? Is this a test of her? Dugu Lianyu's mind is unpredictable, whether it is better to be careful or not. Thinking of this, she pursed her lips lightly and said, "Does Your Highness believe in your subordinates?"
Hesitant, but neither humble nor arrogant. If it is tempted, if she says it directly, even if Dugu Lianyu really wants to show her, it will inevitably make him unhappy, if she says not to see it, and it seems that she is false, it is also unflattering, so it is better to compromise a way.
Thinking of this, her eyebrows couldn't help but relax.
Ruan Wushuang's question was obviously something that Dugu Lianyu didn't expect, but it was undoubtedly a satisfactory answer in his heart.
"If it weren't for the letter, this palace wouldn't have lived to ask more questions. Dugu Lianyu handed over the drawings in his heart as he spoke, and then said: "Coincidentally, after reading the drawings, this palace still has to ask Mr. for his opinion." ”
Hearing this, Ruan Wushuang's heart moved, and he stepped forward to take the drawing. Holding the drawings, Ruan Wushuang's hands trembled slightly invisibly, looking at the contents of the drawings, but the more she looked at them, the more frightened she became.
On the first drawing, what is written is the details and flow of the missing imperial silver, the second is the number of blades and horses purchased, the third is the number of * and storage points, and the fourth seems to be the dark spot of Dugu Lianyu in Chang'an, but the strange thing is that several dark spots on it have been crossed out, and the fifth is a map of the imperial city. It is self-evident what these things on the drawings are used for.
"The subordinates have finished reading it. Ruan Wushuang quietly hid the surprise in his heart, closed the drawing and handed it over.
Dugu Lianyu took the drawing, glanced at the look on Ruan Wushuang's face, and saw that she did not have the slightest discoloration, so he withdrew his eyes faintly.
"Is there anything you want to ask after reading it, sir?" Dugu Lianyu said meaninglessly.
Ruan Wushuang's heart couldn't help but sink, did Dugu Lianyu find something? But according to Dugu Lianyu's temperament, if he really found something, he would definitely not talk to her so "calmly", is that still a temptation?
"There is something unclear about my subordinates, and I don't know whether to ask or not. Ruan Wushuang didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and asked cautiously.
"Sir, but it doesn't hurt. Dugu Lianyu's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Your Highness is already the crown prince, and your subordinates really don't understand, why does Your Highness take the risk to do this. Ruan Wushuang analyzed word by word, but between his eyebrows, he made a little puzzled. The risk of doing this is indeed great, Dugu Lianyu is now the crown prince, it must not be a wise move to do so, but it is not an overnight thing to prepare these things, then this is not what he prepared when he was not a prince, just in case, or to deal with Dugu Liancheng.
"Just in case, although this palace is the crown prince, there are unforeseen circumstances, and this palace has to guard against it. Dugu Lianyu said casually, but the afterglow swept towards Ruan Wushuang from time to time. Immediately afterward, he said, "Okay, sir, let's go back first." ”
"Yes. Ruan Wushuang glanced at Song Zichen and retreated.
Ruan Wushuang glanced back at the Prince's Mansion, then quickened his pace and hurried away, it was better to tell Dugu Liancheng about this matter first.
"Send someone to keep an eye on him. After Ruan Wushuang left, Dugu Lianyu's hand knocked on the table again and again, and the voice was particularly abrupt in the empty room.
"Yes. The corners of Song Zichen's mouth hooked up a strange arc in response.
"I hope Su Ruan won't let this palace down. Dugu Lianyu said with an unclear meaning, this is indeed his temptation of Ruan Wushuang, if she passes, it will be his Dugu Lianyu's right and left hand in the future.
Back in the house, Ruan Wushuang went to bed early after dinner, as in the past, until in the middle of the night, she suddenly opened her eyes and sat up, lifted the futon on her body, and put on her shoes to go to bed.
The eyes glanced vigilantly, it seems that the person sent by Dugu Lianyu to monitor has left, and today's actions of Dugu Lianyu are really testing her, but fortunately, she has already noticed it.
Walking to the mirror in the dark, he reached under the counter, and then touched a hidden grid, and then popped out a snap button, and with a light press, the mirror cabinet was divided into two.
Ruan Wushuang subconsciously glanced outside the door, and took out the pen and paper inside. Based on the memory in her head, she wrote down the contents of the drawings she saw today.
As soon as he finished writing, Seven Shadows pushed the door open and walked in.
"Childe. Seven Shadows walked over lightly and whispered.
Ruan Wushuang folded the five drawn drawings into the bag and said in a deep voice, "Send them over!"
"Yes. Seven Shadows answered.
How did you know that when Seven Shadows opened the door, they saw Dugu Lianyu standing like a door god, as well as the black shadows of dozens of people, and Seven Shadows secretly said in their hearts.
Ruan Wushuang naturally saw it, and couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, a drop of cold sweat crept down in the dark night, but she stepped forward without changing her face.
"Why is Your Highness here?" Try to breathe as smoothly as possible.
Under the dark night, Dugu Lianyu's face seemed to be a little deeper than that night, revealing a murderous chill, and Song Zichen slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, this time it depends on how proud this Su Ruan is.
"If you don't come, how will you know that you eat inside and out. "Dugu Lianyu is full of murderous intent. Su Ruan still let him down..................
