When the latter heard Shangguan Wan'er's words, he was stunned, but he didn't answer, but asked himself.

"I'm afraid what you said earlier is also deceiving Yu Gu! The meeting between you and me tonight is neither at the behest of the queen mother, nor the acquiescence of the queen mother, but Wan'er's own assertions, right? ”

Shangguan Wan'er's face flickered, and finally nodded slightly.

"Your Highness doesn't have to think that Wan'er has a plan against His Highness, Wan'er just wants to find a place in the next turmoil!"

After a pause, Shangguan Wan'er said meaningfully.

"Today's matter, the queen mother really doesn't know, but the characters Wan'er said will definitely interest His Highness!"

Li Hong looked at Shangguan Wan'er with an indifferent face in front of him, and a little unknown feeling flooded in his heart.

Finally, he sighed softly and asked.

"If your news is true, Lone Nature will not treat you badly, so why do you do this?"

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at someone who was cheap and well-behaved, her tone remained unchanged, but there was a bit of stubbornness and heroism in her voice.

"The concubine has no evidence to prove the authenticity of this matter, so naturally she has to think of a way to make Her Highness believe that the concubine is not malicious, not to mention that the concubine believes that His Royal Highness is not a merciless person, with this relationship, His Royal Highness will not treat the concubine as a pawn that can be discarded at any time!"

Li Hong was stunned, and then a complicated feeling surged in his heart.

This woman is really different from the women he has come into contact with before, neither the gentleness and submissiveness of the Pei family, nor the soft persistence of Helan Minyue, nor the elf eccentricity of Qian'er.

Xu is because she grew up in the court in her childhood, even though she is now a person close to the Empress Wu. But she's still very insecure, and she's smart at the same time. Calm and decisive.

In this game tonight, she expected Li Hong to come. From the layout of the room to the time when the waiter appeared, it was just right.

In order to trap Li Hong, and she looks at people very accurately, indeed, Li Hong is the most affectionate, since Shangguan Wan'er's innocence has been ruined, he will be responsible to the end.

Of course, Li Hong would not be so stupid as to think that Shangguan Wan'er had any feelings for him. She is a purely rational person, and everything that happened today is just to win Li Hong's trust.

At this thought, Li Hong suddenly calmed down.

"In that case, Lord Shangguan will say it!"

In his tone, he couldn't help but feel a little alienated.

But if she is as smart as Shangguan Wan'er, how could she not see Li Hong's displeasure, she sighed at the moment and continued.

"Your Highness is a noble person. Born as a nobleman, he naturally won't know Wan'er's hardships, like a concubine and a slave, but just a duckweed. Although it seems to be prominent now, as long as the nobles in the palace are slightly displeased, it will be a disaster for the concubine. ”

Shangguan Wan'er's expression suddenly became excited. There were also a few more tears in the eyes.

"The concubine has been in the court since she can remember. Humiliated! And the reason turned out to be that the grandfather who had never met angered the queen mother? His Royal Highness was made the crown prince at the age of seven, so naturally he would not know. What kind of panic has the concubine spent over the years, and now the concubine is just trying to find a way to survive in this harem, is there anything wrong? ”

Li Hong was silent.

Is it wrong?

From Shangguan Wan'er's point of view, she is naturally not wrong, survival is the instinct of human beings, in the final analysis, Empress Wu is her enemy, and now she doesn't know what she has in mind.

And she Shangguan Wan'er, from the moment she was received by the martial queen, whether she wanted to or not, she had no way back!

For some reason, Li Hong's heart suddenly felt that something was blocked, and he wanted to reach out to wipe away the girl's tears, but there was a voice in his heart that kept reminding him that Shangguan Wan'er was just looking at his identity as the crown prince......

After a while, Li Hong took a deep breath and said lightly.

"If Lone can help, he will naturally do his best!"

Seeing the hint of cunning revealed by the girl, Li Hong smiled bitterly, he still couldn't be ruthless after all......

"Your Highness, the concubine invited His Highness to come over tonight, there is indeed something important to tell you!"

Shangguan Wan'er cleaned up her mood, and there was a little more seriousness in her voice.

"A lot of things have happened in the past few days, after the court meeting, Your Majesty and Niangniang will also talk about some things, although most of them are not systematic, but I think it will still be of some use to His Highness!"

Hearing Shangguan Wan'er talking about business, Li Hong also put away the melancholy in his heart and looked serious.

After a pause, Shangguan Wan'er continued, but her brows furrowed slightly.

"In fact, since His Majesty and Niangniang returned to Beijing, he has been mentioning a mysterious figure, and it seems that many things that His Highness has encountered recently are related to him......"

Hearing this, Li Hong's heart sank, it seemed that Li Zhi and Empress Wu did know about the existence of that mysterious person, but their faces were not revealed, and they asked lightly.

"Oh? What does it have to do with him? What is this person's identity? ”

"The identity of this person is not clear, but listening to the tone of His Majesty and Niangniang, he must know the identity of this person, and for some reason, every time His Majesty mentions this person, his expression is very complicated! And what the concubine can be sure of is that this person has bad intentions towards His Highness, and even has an enmity with His Highness! ”

Shangguan Wan'er hesitated for a moment and said softly.

"As for things related to him, that's more! The first time the concubine heard His Majesty and Niangniang mention this matter was after the assassination of the Imperial City......"

At this moment, Li Hong's brows furrowed more and more, because he felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth of the matter, when he had just returned to Chang'an, he was inexplicably assassinated, if it wasn't for Pei's body to block a knife, I'm afraid it is unknown whether he can stand here alive now!

Later, it was found out that the mastermind behind this incident was Helan Minzhi, and Li Yifu was inexplicably involved, and even the matter of the secret guard, which made Li Hong feel that there seemed to be a dark shadow behind this matter, controlling everything in secret......

However, Shangguan Wan'er didn't notice Li Hong's expression and continued.

"Your Highness should know that in the original assassination case of the Imperial City, His Majesty and Niangniang did not want His Highness to investigate further, and even His Majesty personally discussed with His Highness many times, but to no avail.

But in fact, at the very beginning, His Majesty and Niangniang were shocked to hear that His Royal Highness had been assassinated, and they were furious, and they were determined to investigate the case thoroughly! ”

Li Hong nodded lightly, he could naturally see that the original letter from the Eastern Capital was sharp, and the knife was bloody.

Even the forbidden army allocated a part of it to Li Hong to command, which can be said to be undetermined, but at the same time, this is also the most strange place for Li Hong.

Why did the emperor and queen become so strange about the assassination case in the imperial city after returning to Beijing!

If it is said that it is for Helan Minzhi, I am afraid it is a bit far-fetched!

As soon as he thought of this, Li Hong looked at Shangguan Wan'er with a little more expectation. (To be continued.) )
