Chapter 18: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole

"Guess?"

The Eighth Prince raised his eyebrows suspiciously: "It's not necessarily all guessing, I heard that they bet on who will be the last place, even if she is lucky enough to guess that you can't get the first place, but how can she be so sure that you will be the last place?" ”

Qi Xiao picked up a cup of tea on the table and put it to his lips and took a sip gently, looking indifferent: "I don't know." ”

"That's why I said she had a close relationship with you, and knew that you would lose the game on purpose." The head of the Eight Princes.

After a moment, he sighed and asked again, "But...... Brother Seven, can you tell me why you have to lose today's game? ”

After all, as we all know, King Yan's boat team is invincible, and he has won the title of Dragon King for five consecutive years, and his strength is there, even if there is an accident and he fails to get the first, it is impossible to fall from the first to the bottom all of a sudden.

It's incredible!

Qi Xiao Meiyu frowned slowly, thoughtfully.

The eldest prince King Chu and the fourth prince King Wei started training the dragon boat team two months in advance this year, and I heard that they are both determined to win the dragon king.

And it just so happened that the day before the race, more than half of Qi Xiao's boat team had eaten unclean things and had diarrhea, and they didn't recover until this morning.

Qi Xiao didn't simply think that the diarrhea was just an accident, it was obvious that someone had premeditated laxatives in their meals, in order to make him lose today's dragon boat race.

In this case, why didn't he just take the plan and simply lose the dragon boat race, and since he had to lose completely, he had already won the dragon king for five years anyway, and he didn't care about taking one year less.

In this way, those people in the secret can be proud for a while, and he doesn't believe that they won't get carried away when they are proud, and then he will be able to know who is targeting him.

Qi Xiao's thoughts wandered for a moment, slowly put the teacup back on the table, and said, "Who said that I deliberately lost the dragon boat race, it's an adult's business, children don't speculate." ”

The eighth prince is the son of Concubine Wan, and Concubine Wan loves her son like her life, and she has been reluctant to let him out of the palace to live alone in the mansion.

Although he has long reached the age of independence of the king, there is a concubine Wan who blows the pillow wind in the emperor's ear, and the emperor feels sorry for the concubine, so the ceremony of sealing the king to the eighth prince has been delayed.

Although the Eighth Prince is two years younger than Qi Xiao, he is not a mindless person, even if Qi Xiao doesn't say it, he can guess in his heart: "Seventh Brother, many people in your boat team had diarrhea yesterday, do you suspect that the people of the eldest brother and the fourth emperor brother made a move, so they deliberately lost the game, so as to lure the snake out of the hole." ”

Qi Xiao glanced at him with a little relief and said, "You know again?" ”

The eighth prince smiled: "Seventh brother, I'm not really a child, so I won't even be able to see this little thing." I'm just a little curious, even if the eldest brother and the fourth emperor brother deliberately do something, you don't need to deliberately let the people below lose this game, right? ”

Qi Xiao's eyes narrowed: "They had diarrhea for a day yesterday, and they couldn't win the game today, I just let them lose a little more completely." ”

"Oh, I see." The doubts in the eighth prince's heart were immediately resolved, and he said, "The seventh brother, have you found out now, is it the eldest brother or the fourth emperor brother who is doing ghosts behind his back?" ”

Qi Xiao's eyes shone slightly, and he shook his head: "I haven't found it yet." ”
