Before a person ascends to a high position, he can do whatever it takes, he can have no bottom line, and even have no regard for the eyes of others.

But when he really sits on the supreme position and holds the power of the world, he will value his reputation more than anything else.

There is no emperor who does not want to be praised by future generations.

There is no emperor who, when he was mentioned by later generations, was scolded as a man who plotted to usurp the throne, killed his brother and nephew, and did anything for the sake of imperial power, and was full of blood.

Meng Qi nodded, and then said, "But Yun Qing, there is one thing that is a little strange. ”

"What?"

"Last night, when I was doing things in secret, it was as if someone was helping me."

Jiang Yunqing was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

"Even when I came from the emperor's tent, there were already people in the enclosure who secretly suspected that Emperor Yuan Cheng wanted to get rid of the prince, not only did some people say that the witch Gu thing was someone who blamed the prince, and even involved the matter of the first emperor."

"I always feel as if someone is secretly taking care of the prince, otherwise things wouldn't have gone so well."

Jiang Yunqing listened to Meng Qi's words, tilted his head slightly and thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled lightly.

Meng Qi frowned: "What are you laughing at?" ”

"I laugh at Chen Lianzhong, he deserves to be an old fox."

Meng Qi was slightly stunned, looked at Jiang Yunqing and said, "You mean, it was the Chen family who helped us last night?" ”

Jiang Yunqing nodded: "Ten **." ”

Before, when Chen Lianzhong learned that he was counted, he turned his head without hesitation and used the same method to trap the Xie family and the second prince.

not only put Xie Pei on the name of favoritism, let him be trapped in the Criminal Department for three years, and there was no possibility of promotion, but also counted the death of the Zhou family on the head of the Xie family, making them speechless.

At that time, Chen Lianzhong obviously held the flying feather crossbow in his hand, and he was able to take the opportunity to deal with the second prince together, but he was able to endure Chen Wu's death, obviously he knew in his heart that just a flying feather crossbow would cost the life of the second prince at all.

On the contrary, it is very likely that this alarmed him, not to mention the grass and snakes, and left him a chance to turn over and take revenge.

This household is shrewd and cunning, wise but changeable.

He came forward to help the prince this time, I'm afraid he was gambling.

The gambling king has nothing to do.

Bet that the prince will not fall.

As long as the crown prince does not fall, he can not only repay the favor she helped the Chen family last time, but also take this opportunity to make the king owe him a favor and leave a way back for the Chen family, even if they don't choose the prince in the future, the king can also remember the righteousness of helping today and be merciful to their subordinates.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yunqing couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head.

That old fox!

……

Meng Qi and the Xu family didn't stay in Jiang Yunqing's tent for too long, and when they learned that the king was about to return to the camp, they couldn't say that there would be a battle with Emperor Yuan Cheng, so Meng Qi was ready to go to the emperor's tent to guard it, just in case.

And Xu didn't sleep all night, and he was already sleepy, so he also came out with Meng Qi.

When they arrived outside the tent, Meng Qi and Xu greeted each other and prepared to leave.

Xu suddenly stopped him.

"Little Five."

Meng Qi turned around: "Mother, what's wrong?" ”

Xu hesitated for a moment before he said in a low voice: "Xiao Wu, do you think that Yun Qing and Wang are ......?"

She hesitated, a little unsure of what to say.

When Jiang Yunqing and Wang spread those rumors before, she didn't feel anything.

But yesterday I knew that Wang sent Yahuan to Jiang Yunqing's side, and Jiang Yunqing also ignored the danger after Wang's accident, and went out of the paddock overnight to find it, which made her always feel that the relationship between them was not so simple.
