Lai Xing'er was worried that she would see Nayu, and she didn't know what to say in her mouth, and was about to tell her a few words, but Jinping had already giggled and ran away. Lai Xing'er had no choice but to follow the little eunuch to Zhongshu Province to see Li Jinzhong.

tricked Lai Xing'er into joining the mission to go to Luo, taking the opportunity to bury a nail next to the future prince, Li Jinzhong's wishful thinking this time can be regarded as completely unsuccessful. In any case, he could not have imagined that the emperor would make a temporary decision, and ordered Lai Xing'er to pretend to be King Mu, and take different routes with the real Muwang to rush to Luo, and the real Muwang was detained in Gangneung halfway, and his whereabouts are still unknown. In this way, didn't Lai Xing'er not even see the face of King Mu, and walked to the city of Luo, thousands of miles away, in vain?

Li Jinzhong was not worried that Lai Xing'er would not find his mother in Luocheng City, and he would come to him to ask him after returning to Chang'an. In today's turbulent situation, he can easily find a number of reasons to prevaricate Laixing'er, making him think that he has also been deceived by the false information reported by his subordinates, rather than deliberately deceiving him. To his surprise, he was impressed by Lai Xing'er from the bottom of his heart that this ignorant boy who was taken out of the stable by himself two or three years ago was able to not only perform this real and false prince's play to the end, but also performed Cai'er.

Since the night when Li Bin was killed, the emperor drew his sword and stabbed Xie Liangchen to death on the spot in front of him and everyone, Li Jinzhong often had a sense of foreboding that a rabbit was dead and a dog cooking, and always felt that Xie Liangchen seemed to act as his substitute for death, and the emperor was really dissatisfied, and even gritted his teeth and resented him instead of Xie Liangchen, who had always been diligent and dedicated. More than 30 palace people and eunuchs disappeared overnight, and the remnants of the Zhang family unexpectedly withdrew from the Daming Palace. Li Jinzhong is not happy but worried: because of the assassination of Xia Haitang Hanbingdian, the situation in which he held all the power of the two dynasties inside and outside will soon be over with the end of the Jing Palace.

Li Jinzhong is not unaware of the truth that if the profit is full, it will be lost, and the torrent will retreat bravely. Only in his nearly thirty years of court career. He had never seen a eunuch like Liu Yi in a high position and retreat with his whole body, retreat to the mountains and forests, and enjoy his destiny in peace. After all, the eunuchs who were regarded as the servants of the emperor's family were too close to the emperor, the center of power that dominated everything, close enough to make them see every speck, dirt and dirt on the emperor through the dazzling halo that shrouded the emperor. And the more secrets you know, the more it means that you have no way back but to climb upwards. Until he was exhausted, he fell from mid-air and fell to pieces.

There is also a possibility, that is, to hold the emperor firmly in your hands and make him obey your will, Li Jinzhong is very clear that for him, there is nowhere to climb again, he has stood on the top of the peak that no one has ever climbed before, and can only choose to take the second road. As a matter of fact. From the day he coaxed and deceived Lai Xing'er into joining the Muwang Mission, he had already embarked on the second dangerous road of holding the imperial power hostage to protect himself.

And to walk down this rugged and dangerous sheep's intestine. What do you need most until you reach the end of your life safely? Is it overbearing? Is it the will? Is it strength? Li Jinzhong asked himself. No, it's a capable person who can help himself! It was precisely out of the thirst for talents that Li Jinzhong repeatedly recommended Wei Chang to take on important responsibilities, and it was precisely out of the thirst for talents that Li Jinzhong decided to take the initiative to send Xing'er to meet.

"As soon as people returned to Chang'an, they were busy running to the harem, and they didn't think to come to meet the elders?" Li Jinzhong saw Lai Xing'er walk in, and asked.

"The big man calls the little one to come, but what do you have to say to the little one?" Lai Xing'er was not bluffed by Li Jinzhong, and asked angrily.

"Yo, I don't see you in October, boy, you have a temper, dare to talk to the old man like this? Let me ask you, did you not find your mother on this trip? Lai Xing'er's reaction was actually expected by Li Jinzhong, but in order to make the play realistic, he still had to hold on to the shelf and ask.

"My lord, why do you want to ask knowingly."

"Don't you want to ask the old man why?"

Lai Xing'er raised his head suddenly: "Adults know? ”

"I don't know!" Li Jinzhong raised his hand, pointed to the door and rushed to Xing'er and shouted, "You can go, my Royal Highness King Mu, go find the beauty who went back to Chang'an with you." ”

As soon as he was angry, Lai Xing'er had two points of faith, and muttered and begged: "Since you know everything, my lord, just talk to the little one." Don't call the little ones worry about their stomachs all day long, and they can't live in peace. ”

"Call Uncle Shi!" A smile flashed across Li Jinzhong's face, "It's not that you and I have scooped food in the same manger for a few days, how many important things do the old man have to do, how can he worry about you in vain?" ”

Lai Xing'er caught a glimpse of a bowl of tea on the table next to him, and hurriedly picked up the tea bowl and held it in front of Li Jinzhong, and said with a smile: "Uncle Shi, please drink tea, it's all small, aren't you, you have a lot of adults, don't be like the small one." ”

Li Jinzhong took the tea bowl, but he was not in a hurry to tell Lai Xing'er why he couldn't find his mother in Luoqi City, but sighed lightly and said: "It's no wonder that the old man didn't make it clear to you before, in fact, the old man intended to ask you to go to Tibet with the envoy of King Mu, not only to have the news that your mother is in Luo, but also to provide you with an opportunity to get to know King Mu and get acquainted with King Mu." What I didn't expect was that not only did you not even see King Mu's face, but you also pretended to be King Mu to meet Tubo Zampu to talk about peace between the two countries, and the old man really wasted his efforts this time. ”

Lai Xing'er had just heard Jing Xuan say something similar in the Baoxiang Palace, and at this time, he heard Li Jinzhong say this unabashedly, and couldn't help blurting out: "Why do you want me to get acquainted with King Mu?" ”

"Forget it, King Mu's whereabouts are still unknown, there is no need to talk about this, let's talk about your mother's news first," Li Jinzhong took the words back in time, and said in a matter-of-fact manner, "Ten days ago, there was news in Liaodong, saying that your mother's later married husband Wang Huan died, and he told the people around him about your mother's whereabouts before he died......

"Didn't you say that Wang Huan sold my mother to a merchant to ransom her debts, how could he know my mother's whereabouts ten days ago?" Lai Xing'er couldn't hide her suspicion and asked hurriedly.

"The strange part is here," Li Jinzhong continued to make up his story, "that Wang Huan originally had a wife and a concubine, although his wife was beautiful, but she was always jealous and brutal, Wang Huan was afraid of guilt, and she never dared to be angry in front of her. After your mother passed the door, she was often beaten and scolded by her ****, and she was miserable. Wang Huan had a grudge against his wife, and he did not dare to get rid of her for a long time, so he took advantage of the merchant's visit to collect debts, and pretended to discuss with his wife that he would sell your mother to pay off the debt, and his wife was naturally happy. On the day when the merchant came to bring him, Wang Huan used medicine to numb his wife and sold her to the merchant. Although the merchant realized that something was wrong at that time, when he saw that the king's wife was beautiful, he could sell it for a large price, so he left Liaodong ...... overnight" (To be continued. )
