Chapter Seventy-Eight: It's Li Yifu's bastard again!
Helan Minyue said a little helplessly.
Li Hong's face instantly became gloomy.
"Did you come to the East Palace today just to play Lonely?"
There was a lot of anger in his voice.
It's not that Li Hong can't hold his breath, it's just that you said so much before, and you have whetted your appetite, but now you say that you don't know, isn't this a joke?
If he didn't know that Helan Minyue and Helan Minzhi had a good relationship, and he wouldn't joke with Helan Minzhi's life, Li Hong would probably be driven out immediately.
But that's limited to that, if Helan Minyue can't give a reasonable explanation, then Li Hong will really have to send off the guests.
"Your Highness is angry, the concubine is not deliberately deceiving, but really doesn't know."
Seeing that Li Hong was so angry, Helan Minyue flashed her eyes and said with a little grievance.
"Frankly speaking, it's only been a few days since the concubine learned the news and hurriedly returned to Beijing, everything she just said is already everything the concubine knows, not to mention such a big event, how could my brother tell the concubine, but after the concubine returned to Beijing, she tortured the house slaves of the Zhou State Mansion, and rushed back to the guard's house to investigate, and gradually deduced the truth."
Helan Minyue's words were beautiful, but Li Hong clearly saw a hint of cunning in her eyes.
After thinking about it for a while, I understood Helan Minyue's intentions.
Maybe as she said herself, she doesn't know who is behind this matter, but there is one person who must know, that is, Helan Minzhi who is now in prison, Helan Minyue's words are already clear, although she has been emphasizing that she does not want to exchange the truth for Helan Minzhi's survival.
But if Li Hong really wants to know the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, he must ask Helan Minzhi, and the premise is that Helan Minzhi must survive first!
What a good calculation!
"In this way, thank you Minyue for reminding me, the night is cold and dewy, Minyue should go back early, so as not to get cold!"
With a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Hong said slowly.
Is he really that easy to fool?
is still the same sentence, now the initiative is in his hands, how can he achieve the goal if he does not come up with a sufficient price!
"Your Highness......"
Helan Minyue was angry for a while, but there was a trace of sadness on her face, and she was even more dripping.
I have to say that Helan Minyue's appearance is indeed rare in the world, and at this moment, I am afraid that no one can bear to refuse her?
But Li Hong is not so easy to deal with!
picked up the teacup, sipped the tea quietly, didn't say a word, and didn't seem to react to the pity of the beauty in front of him!
"The concubine really doesn't know who the mastermind behind the scenes is, but there is a guess, I don't know if His Highness is interested."
Seeing that the grief offensive was useless, Helan Minyue had no choice but to put away her pitiful look, bite her lip and say.
It's just that the unwillingness in his eyes can't be hidden!
Just know you're not telling the truth!
Li Hong laughed secretly in her heart, what Helan Minyue said before was so detailed, how could she not know who was behind the scenes, even if she really didn't know, there were always speculations, but she didn't mention a word, the idea was nothing more than to improve the use value of Helan Minzhi, so that Li Hong had to save him.
Now looking at Li Hong's appearance of serving tea to guests, he finally no longer hides it.
"After all, for such a big matter, my brother always has to discuss with others, although the concubine doesn't know who it is, but among the people who have been close to the Zhou Guogong Mansion these days, there is a very suspicious ......"
Helan Minyue took a breath and slowly said a name.
"Liu Renliang!"
"Oh? How so? ”
Li Hong frowned, he didn't expect Helan Minyue to say this name.
"The concubine is just a guess, because Liu Renliang has always had a bad relationship with his brother, but the concubine has carefully asked Zhou Guogong's subordinates, since His Majesty left Chang'an for Luoyang this time, Liu Renliang has been to Zhou Guogong's mansion more often......"
Thinking of Liu Renliang's strange attitude again and again, Li Hong also began to doubt.
However, there is another question, Liu Renliang has not been transferred back to Chang'an for a long time, and he and he have never had a holiday, why did he risk the world's condemnation to stab himself?
Li Hong's brows furrowed, his face changed for a while, and he muttered in his mouth.
Liu Renliang ...... ...... of Helan Min Li Yang......"
"Li Yifu!"
Li Hong's eyes instantly became cold, and a name was squeezed out between his teeth.
Helan Minyue is right, Liu Renliang and Helan Minzhi's friendship is not good, but they have one thing in common, that is, they are both very close to Li Yifu, Liu Renliang has no grudge against him, but he and Li Yifu are incompatible!
Not only because of the events in Luoyang Palace, but in Li Hong's memory, the relationship between the original owner and Li Yifu was extremely bad.
The most important point is that Li Hong has never forgotten the strange assassination he suffered in Luoyang Palace, and now he recalls it carefully, when he and Li Zhi discussed the matter of the six rates of the East Palace, Li Zhi did not summon Li Yifu, but he arrived at Luoyang Palace inexplicably.
And at that time, Li Yifu's performance, although it was a little strong, can be carefully scrutinized, and it is clearly a little ...... Guilty!
If it is said that Li Yifu is the mastermind behind the scenes, then everything makes sense, I am afraid that Li Yifu reported to Helan Minzhi in advance about his early return to Beijing, so that he could arrange the assassination as soon as he came back!
Obviously, such a big thing, Li Yifu will not rest assured that Helan Min will handle it alone, so it is natural to let Liu Renliang help Helan Minzhi, which can also explain why Li Yifu left Chang'an with the front foot, and Liu Renliang and He Lanminzhi began to be embarrassed on the back foot.
After thinking about everything clearly, Li Hong gradually calmed down.
"Tell me about your chips!"
Whether it is Helan Minyue or Li Hong, it is clear that just a small truth is definitely not enough for Li Hong to let Helan Minzhi go, not to mention secretly releasing people from Dali Temple, if it is discovered by the emperor, I am afraid that Li Hong's position as the crown prince will not be guaranteed.
So Helan Minyue didn't expect things to be so easy at the beginning, the previous temptation was just a glimmer of hope in her heart, wanting to avoid losses as much as possible.
Li Hong's words showed that he really began to pay attention to this negotiation, because he could see that the chips taken out by Helan Minyue this time must be extremely heavy, to the point that she was completely reluctant, otherwise she would not have been involved with herself for so long!
"Your Highness should know that the concubine's mother, Mrs. Han and His Majesty...... There was a time ...... past"
The affairs of Li Zhi and Mrs. Han, these two people know it well.
But this is not a glorious thing after all, not to mention that Helan Minyue is a woman and the daughter of Mrs. Han, it is inevitable that it will be a little difficult to talk about these things, and for a while, her pretty face also turned red.
But why mention this at this time?
Li Hong had doubts in his heart.
