"The concubine admits that the guard was ordered by my brother to intercept and kill, and the assassin was also instructed by my brother, but please think about it, can my brother do such a big thing alone?"

Helan Minyue's eyes fluttered, and she asked rhetorically.

I have to say that Helan Minyue's words are very right, Li Hong never believed that such a big action as assassinating the prince would be something that Helan Min could do alone, if that waste really had this scheming, how could he have no power to fight back in his own hands.

But again, does it matter?

No matter how clever Helan Minyue is, she can't escape the fact that Helan Minzhi is a direct participant in this matter!

Although he may not be the final mastermind behind the scenes, since he has murderous intentions against Li Hong, Li Hong will not allow him to live in this world.

As for Helan Minyue's intention to come today, Li Hong is probably clear, it is nothing more than to make a deal with him as the mastermind behind the scenes, so that he can spare Helan Min's life, but will Li Hong agree?

"No matter how many people are involved in this matter, your brother must be aware of it, so there is this retribution today, and it is also deserved, Min Yue, if you just want to say this, please go back! If you are a woman, you should not get involved in these court battles, otherwise you will kill yourself one day. ”

Li Hong shook his head and said.

His eyes were a little cold, and there was already a meaning of sending off a guest in his tone.

It's not that Li Hong doesn't want to know the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, but this reason is not enough to impress Li Hong, for Li Hong, Helan Minzhi was convicted after he wasted a lot of effort, not to mention the depth of his previous grudge with him.

What's more, Li Hong has his own sense of proportion in this matter, even if Helan Minyue doesn't tell him, he is confident that he will find out the villain behind him!

The most important thing is that after seeing Helan Minyue's performance in the Xuanzheng Hall today, Li Hong really didn't dare to cooperate with her, a woman who didn't know how to measure, was reckless and ignorant, and was not a person who could be traded.

Seeing that Li Hong rejected her so neatly, Helan Minyue frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said slowly.

"Your Highness, do you think that Min Yue is reckless and willful on the main hall today, and it is not worth entrusting?"

Li Hong didn't speak, but the look between his eyebrows clearly told Helan Minyue that he thought so.

"The concubine dares to ask His Royal Highness, if Min Yue is compromised in front of the queen today, can she change her mind? Or to put it another way, Min Yue's reckless performance in the eyes of His Highness can cost her brother's life? ”

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Helan Minyue's mouth.

"This ......"

Li Hong was speechless for a while, although he didn't want to admit it, Li Hong had to agree with Helan Minyue's statement.

Even if she grovels to Empress Wu, Empress Wu will not change her mind because of this, but it is Helan Minyue's seemingly reckless behavior that almost deceived Empress Wu.

"But you didn't achieve your goal after all, otherwise you wouldn't be sitting opposite Lone now!"

However, soon Li Hong adjusted his mentality and turned Helan Minyue into an army.

However, Li Hong sat up straight, which was quite different from the laziness just now, obviously in Li Hong's heart, Helan Minyue was already an opponent who could be treated equally.

"His Royal Highness is right, but even if it is so, it is just an extra price, not to mention that the concubine does not plan to let His Highness let go of his brother with a behind-the-scenes mastermind, it is just a meeting gift!"

Hearing Li Hong's rhetorical question, Helan Minyue was not annoyed, and continued with a smile.

"The matter has come to this, the concubine body is no longer hidden, His Royal Highness is indeed powerful, and he can force the concubine's brother into a desperate situation step by step, but just now the concubine body also said that the case of assassination in the imperial city is not as simple as His Highness imagined.

That's right, the guards of the Yongwang Mansion were intercepted and killed by his brother, and the assassin did stay in the Zhou State Mansion, and the poison in his body was also under the influence of his brother, but all of this was just used, although the elder brother was extremely evil to His Royal Highness, but the one hidden behind the scenes was the real enemy of His Highness. ”

"What about the evidence?"

Li Hong asked in a deep voice.

I have to say that what Helan Minyue said is also a possibility, but no matter how realistic she says, Li Hong will never forget that she came here today to save Helan Minzhi, with this purpose, even how reasonable the story will become unreasonable.

"The token, of course!"

Seeing that Li Hong had finally taken the bait, Helan Minyue was overjoyed and said.

"That token seems to be left for the main messenger in order to marry the Yongwang Mansion, but in fact it is the biggest flaw in this matter, Your Highness, please think about it, His Highness's return to Beijing is only a temporary decision, no one knows in advance, so how did the assassin know His Highness's whereabouts in advance? Since it was a blame, it must have been premeditated in advance, but the assassin was obviously acting in a hurry, and he still had the token of the Yongwang Mansion on his body, isn't it ridiculous! ”

Li Hong didn't speak, because he knew that Helan Minyue was right, and he had indeed ignored this before.

"The only explanation is that the one behind the scenes also temporarily got the news of His Highness's return to Beijing, so he didn't have time to find the real token, so in a hurry, he had to take out a token that was enough to fake the real one, and let the assassin go to the assassination, if it succeeded, of course, if it failed, it would just lead His Highness into the trap!"

Helan Minyue's voice faintly became a little cold, obviously making her feel very angry about this behavior of using Helan Minzhi as a gunman.

"And the biggest flaw in this plan is that the token! Because it is fake, if it does appear, then the conspiracy will immediately collapse itself! So in the end, the one behind the scenes killed the guard with the real token and completed the last part of the plan, of course, with the help of my brother. ”

Speaking of this, Helan Minyue couldn't help but show a look of annoyance, and she was also deeply helpless about her brother's brainless behavior.

However, although what Helan Minyue said was very reasonable, Li Hong always had a trace of suspicion, and carefully recalled what happened, Li Hong said slowly.

"Minyue's story is very exciting, and Lone is willing to believe it, but the confession in Lone's hand tells Lone that this interception is clearly the instigation of Helan Minzhi, which is always right?"

is still the same sentence, no matter what Helan Minyue said, it can't change the fact that Helan Minzhi wants to kill him.

What's more, Li Hong still has the confession of the shopkeeper of Pingkangfang in his hands, in comparison, Li Hong still feels that this confession sent by Di Renjie himself is more convincing than the story of Helan Minyue.

"Indeed, the guard was intercepted by his brother, and the concubine never denied it, but the guards of the Yongwang Mansion were not to assassinate His Highness, but the elder brother was ordered by others, and the concubine knew that His Highness wanted to say the testimony of Pingkangfang, but the concubine also asked His Highness, His Highness knows that there is a kind of person in this world, called the dead! The most obvious evidence is that the guard in the testimony was intercepted and killed on the way home, but in fact, he was killed on the way back, and the token found in his house in the concubine's hand is proof! ”

Li Hong frowned tightly.

At this point, Li Hong had to believe that everything Helan Minyue said was true!

Because what the shopkeeper said about the time of interception and killing is indeed not right, that is to say, what the shopkeeper said may be intended to mislead him!

"In that case, you can say, who is the real mastermind behind the scenes?"

Li Hong's voice was serious.

It also represents his attitude at the moment, and this is the beginning of the negotiations.

"I don't know!"
