Due didn't expect him to ask this, and after a pause, he replied, "Just knowing." ”

Xue Huai asked: "How much do you know?" When did you start being informed? ”

Du Er knew that Xue Huai was bound to get to the bottom of some major issues of right and wrong, so he replied: "King Hui's concubine Jian Fang will die of the epidemic—from this time on. ”

A hint of sadness flashed in Xuehuai's eyes. He didn't expect that the master knew about the plan from the very beginning, and he didn't expect that even Jian Fang's death was a plan.

King Hui's love for Jianfang is well known, and he even begged Xue Huai to open up several of Jianfang's favorite accessories, just asking her to be safe and smooth without illness and disaster. At that time, even though Xue Huai was a monk, he still admired King Hui's feelings of cherishing each other, and he also had several relationships with Jian Fang, and he had the impression of being a slender and delicate beautiful woman, and he would show a polite smile when he saw Xue Huai.

The loss of emotional control and improper behavior due to the death of the concubine is indeed a very good reason, and it can also explain the source of the epidemic that does not come from nowhere-being poisoned is just a personal grudge, and no matter how it causes a big disaster, it has nothing to do with the major crime of "fornicating with the enemy country and vainly trying to rebel".

As for the spread of the epidemic that was difficult to control later, King Hui also tried his best to control and govern, and even did not hesitate to cut the city to save the people, and gave himself to the people of Beiting, and his whereabouts are still unknown - he is not wrong with reason, at most he is charged with "improper governance of the city and unauthorized land cutting", which is just a demotion and punishment, because he is burdened with the three most important bloodlines of the dynasty, and the six cities of Lanxi still need him to guard, and there will be no derogation.

Although he is not very sure who King Hui is or what he is planning for himself, it is certain that King Hui has planned everything, and he can attack and retreat and defend, he only needs to watch this whirlpool rush and stir up the troubles, and at the right time to add fuel to the situation or flip the decision, he can easily achieve his goal without harming himself.

It's really a good strategy, a good means.

Seeing Xue Huai for a long time, Du Er knew that he was very uncomfortable. King Hui has always trusted King Hui, and even in those days when he was disgusted by the temple people, it was King Hui who gave him the most love and protection.

But now I realize that it all has a purpose.

Nine years of care and love, nine years of planning and dormancy.

I was full of joy and thought that I was walking in a peaceful and warm garden, but suddenly the world was discolored, and the surrounding changes appeared, revealing that the garden was originally a pile of dead trees and leaves, and weeds and scorched earth.

Everything was an illusion.

Du Er couldn't bear to look at Xue Huai's eyes, which were mixed with the coldness of sour disappointment and the gloom of depression and frustration, making those ink-like eyes even darker.

Du'e had been reluctant to look directly into Xue Huai's eyes. In the past, it was too clear, and it seemed to be able to illuminate all the filth and bitterness of the world, but now it is too sad, as if it can confirm all the deception and deception in front of them, so that those who conspire and deceive have nothing to hide, and no place to be ashamed.

Du Er has never felt so guilty because of his position, he used to only think that this was the last resort, this is everyone's life, but now he can't meet his gaze under Xue Huai's gaze, and suddenly thinks that all these years of indifference, he neglected him, ignored him, and criticized him, it seems that it is all wrong, it is useless, and the time spent together for all these years has been wasted, and the feelings of master and apprentice have been rubbed out of resentment and hurt.

"Where is King Hui now?" Xue Huai asked.
