CHAPTER XXVII
"Take sides?" Alan asked, "The fifth prince is so popular?" The concubine's family is going to slap him? ”
Songhe nodded and said, "The eldest prince and the second prince both died early, and the third prince's mind was not in the court at all. Among all the adult princes, in terms of power and strategy ability, only the five princes can indeed be regarded as the best. After that, some of the princes will walk, and the throne or anything will not be their turn at all. ”
"It's just that the emperor gave birth to the fifth prince too early." Songhe sneered, "The fifth prince has grown up, but the emperor is still upright and in his prime, and his health is very good, so he can still make you a few younger brothers and sisters if you have nothing to do." ”
Alan choked for a moment, pretended not to hear the second half of the sentence, and asked, "Does the fifth prince really want to be the emperor?" ”
"Yes, I can't think about it." Songhe turned his neck and said mockingly, "I have to say, he is very smart, and in terms of power and strategy, he is indeed a material to be an emperor." But he's too anxious, and sometimes it's not a good thing to be too smart, did I say that? ”
"People who are too smart often feel that their minds will not be discovered. The five princes have been secretly doing tricks and wants to become the emperor as soon as possible. But I never thought that I had been discovered by the real emperor. Songhe suddenly whispered, "Do you remember Liu Guiren?" ”
Alan remembered the one who testified and seduced her in front of the emperor, and said that he saw himself and the concubine who met in the harem with the fake picture.
"Tell me what you think, you can guess boldly." Songhe lay back and leaned back on the soft couch.
Alan was stunned for a moment, and said while recalling the scene of that day: "At that time, I saw General Tuhe on the road and thought it was very strange, it was a harem, it stands to reason that even if you pretend, you should pretend to be a woman who can enter the harem, why take the risk of pretending to be Tuhe, and wander in the inner palace in a grand manner." So since it's not to lie to me, it's to fool others. Since it's a lie, how can you tell the truth. ”
Songhe looked at Alan appreciatively and boasted, "No wonder your master praises you for being smart." ”
Alan was both surprised and surprised, the master actually praised her, so she was slightly proud, and continued: "And I think that based on this alone, if I were Liu Guiren, I would definitely not make trouble with the emperor." So in the second half of Liu Guiren, what kind of seduction, love letter, there must be one of them true. Then add oil and vinegar to say, cry a pear blossom with rain, and then try to make the emperor pity the jade, not to mention how the emperor allows his courtiers to spy on his concubines, even if the evidence is insufficient, even if it is fake, it is inevitable that he will be unhappy. ”
Songhe laughed and said: "You guess eight or nine is not far from ten, but it is just ......" Songhe lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious: "These two things that Liu Guiren said are true. ”
Alan was shocked: "General Tuhe really ......?" ”
"The secret promise to Liu Guiren is fake, but the friendship on the surface is real. The letter Liu Guiren received was true, but the truth in it was false. ”
"Is this your bureau?" Alan was puzzled, "But what kind of grudge does Guiren Liu have with you?" No...... Is it the person behind Liu Guiren? ”
"Liu Guiren's brother Liu Su is Tuhe's deputy general, and he is a party of the five princes. It's been more than once, and I actually want to replace it with Tuhe. Something that is beyond one's own strength. Songhe raised his chin slightly and said, "And Liu Guiren is in the harem, and he is covered by a noble concubine." In the matter of your mother, Concubine Lan, her hands are naturally not clean. ”
"No wonder Master is so ruthless." Alan pondered, "Liu Guiren died within a few days of being beaten into the cold palace. Liu Su was also demoted. ”。
"Liu Guiren's death is more likely to be the hand of the noble concubine." Songhe said, "Liu Guiren is useless, it's a burden. was beaten into the cold palace, and my brother couldn't count on it, which was considered a dead end. At this time, can you still keep the secret of the concubine? As long as you casually give Liu Guiren an ethereal promise, Liu Guiren will give the concubine all the money. Songhe looked at Alan and asked, "You say, this Liu nobleman, will the concubine keep it?" ”
