095. Bear the responsibilities and consequences

"Wise as the prince, but His Highness didn't guess right."

"Where didn't you guess right?"

"I made not one fake book, but two, and the content is completely different." Zhao Mengqing turned over and sat up, his eyes lit up and said to me, "I have also seriously deduced, what should I do if Chen Changfeng really goes to the emperor to talk to me about this book." In the end, I thought about it, it was better to gamble, and the emperor didn't read this book, so I made two fakes. Hand in a copy first. Things could go in two directions. ”

I instantly comprehended, and then continued to analyze his words: "In the first case, even if Chen Changfeng knows that the content of this book is wrong, he can't expose me, because before that, except for the royal family and Lord Zhao, it is impossible for him to enter the library in the palace to read this book, because he has not applied to the emperor. Then the first book can be returned smoothly by fishing in troubled waters. ”

Zhao Mengqing nodded and praised: "Not bad." The second situation is that he risked great disrespect to the emperor and admitted that he had entered the library without permission to read the next volume, and then complained to the emperor that I had presented a fake, so I could immediately conclude that he had sin of violating the emperor's authority for trespassing the library, and I could take the opportunity to present the second book and tell the emperor that I had deliberately done this trick. ”

This king almost applauded Zhao Mengqing: "Lord Zhao is really cunning, but how did you make two fake books in such a short time?" What's on it, you're not going to talk nonsense, are you? ”

The corners of Zhao Mengqing's lips raised a few hints of ridicule, added a piece of charcoal to the stove, and said quietly: "It's not as amorous as His Royal Highness King Chong'an, and I, a careless bachelor, have a lot of time to do meaningful things." ”

I smiled and poured myself a cup of tea.

"In August, the month when His Royal Highness was lying in the palace leisurely, eating and waiting for death, Xia Guan thought about the aftermath of this book. So he began to hang the beam and stab the strands, and the pen did not stop, and he wrote two masterpieces in a month. ”

"This king is not idle, if it weren't for the free time in August to leave enough time for this king to sort out some things, I wouldn't have gained so much in this trip."

"What else has Your Highness discovered?"

I was silent for a moment, scooped up the teacup, thought about what had happened, and sighed, "For example, when I got off the ship from the Dongyun dock today, I saw a gaze staring at me at the stern of the ship, and then I noticed that there was a person walking down there. ”

Zhao Mengqing's eyes lit up: "Who is it?" ”

"Cheng Yu."

"Huh? Didn't you ever say she ......?"

I nodded, and my voice gradually deepened uncontrollably: "She used to lie under the moat in winter, and a lot of cold poison had accumulated in her body, especially in her joints, and she relied on a wheelchair to walk until I saw her when I returned to the imperial capital in August, and she couldn't control her legs well when she sat on the steps." But now ......"

"But now the girl has stepped out of the boat on her own." Zhao Mengqing had a smile in his eyes, looking lively, "So did she see Taishang Laojun in the past month and recovered after taking the elixir, or did she have nothing wrong at all, and she has been touching porcelain for so many years, relying on you and slandering you?" ”

I shook my head and frowned, "You can't say that. I led the troops to attack the southern country, and the royal family of the southern country also committed suicide by jumping into the river because of my siege, and what I have done has caused great harm to others, so I have to take the initiative to take the responsibility and consequences of this, even if she didn't know when she recovered and didn't tell me, I don't think she is deliberately relying on me to lie to me all these years. ”

"His Royal Highness has returned from the Nanguo Mansion, and his ideological realm has improved sharply." Zhao Mengqing said with a smile, "Is it that the unenvious departure has dealt you a great blow, shattering your original bohemian and rock-solid shell in one fell swoop, and your whole person now exudes the light of a bodhisattva, and you can deeply understand and empathize with the sufferings of us mortals." ”

"You don't have to provoke me like that," I naturally knew what he meant, and now that I was about to enter a situation of incompatibility, mercy to the enemy was cruelty to the other people, "I think that since she can walk, then my guilt towards her can be reduced a little." All these years of remorse and entanglement, this year's deception, I can be regarded as paying off her debts, if I stand on the opposite side in the future, I will swear to defend my Jinguo and my people. ”

Zhao Mengqing put away Fang Cai's smile: "Your Highness's enlightenment is right, but Your Highness also has to make plans for yourself." The third bad thing is about His Highness. ”

"Wei Tian wants to make a move against this king?"

"No, the day before yesterday, the emperor asked His Highness where he and Qin Buxian went. An official replied that the last time she saw Qin Buxian was in the early morning of the eighth day of the ninth month, when she was on death row, she went to visit Xu Guangguang; There are also officials who replied that the last time they saw you and Qin Buxian was in the early morning of the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, at the Dongyun Wharf in Dijing. His Royal Highness went to death row, retired everyone, and personally interrogated Xu Guangguang, I have no way of knowing what they said, but seeing the emperor's expression when he mentioned Qin Buxian and His Royal Highness, I was not so happy. ”

I was stunned: "Wait, you said that in the early morning of the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, Qin Buxian went to visit Xu Guangguang?" ”

Zhao Mengqing was also stunned, and paused: "You don't know about this?" ”

I really don't know...... But I suddenly remembered that on the eve of leaving Beijing on the eighth day of the ninth month, I stayed outside her room all night and finally fell asleep, and when I woke up, it was raining heavily, and I looked back and found that Qin Buxian was not in the room, and when I ran outside the house, I found that she walked slowly from the end of the long street, carrying breakfast in her hand, and her white clothes were covered with mud.

I went to the street corner to buy a breakfast that was far from making her clothes so dirty, and I subconsciously asked her if she had walked a lot, but she pulled away from the topic and said something else.

Now it seems that she went to find Xu Guangguang that morning.

What did she do when she went to Xu Guangguang, asking him why he framed herself, trying to find out what I was doing to her?

I'm not sure, the only thing I'm sure of is that Xu Guangguang should have found out from her words that she was going to leave the imperial capital and go to Nanguo Mansion, so he passed the news to Cheng Yu through Chen Changfeng or other eyeliners......

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Cheng Yu to go to Nanguo Mansion in person, and even prepared to meet Lu Shu in the depths of the bamboo forest by the way, Cheng Yu loves to eat bamboo shoots the most, and now it seems that Lu Shu's table of dishes is prepared for her.

The more I thought about it, the more worried I became, I was afraid that Cheng Yu had clearly known where Qin Buxian had gone in these days in Nanguo Mansion.

Zhao Mengqing saw that I was silent, and said faintly worried: "The situation is very serious? ”

I nodded. Suddenly felt a headache, raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his forehead, calmed himself, wisps of the development and priority of the matter, and looked up to Zhao Mengqing again: "I need you to help me send a message out." ”

"What's the news? To whom? ”

"The news is, 'Miss Wei is in danger, it is advisable to send people to protect her safety'," I got up and took out a pen and paper from his hut, and drew several places in the imperial capital for him with candlelight, "The street meat master of Yang Ji's century-old sauce meat shop, the young owner and shopkeeper of the Lusheng Teahouse, the blacksmith of the Yifeng blacksmith in the east of the city, and the leader of the opera troupe of Yueling Theater, these are all our people, send the same news to two of them, needless to say who they send it to, they will take the news out of the imperial capital." ”

Zhao Mengqing was really shocked for a while before he panicked: "Your Highness has such a manpower, why didn't you use it earlier?" ”

In fact, there are many more such places and such eyeliner.

Three days ago, walking back from Lu Shu and passing through the bamboo forest of Sensen, I sighed in all directions: "I seem to have failed very much over the years, and those who treat each other sincerely have become enemies. In their eyes, I am not a relative, a brother, or a confidant, but a sword, a chip, and a chess piece. Now, in the entire imperial capital, there are no subordinates who can be trusted by this son. ”

At that time, You Quartet was reminding me to pay attention to the stones under my feet and the poisonous snakes under my feet, and when I saw that I was depressed, he looked into the distance and smiled: "Then I will tell Gongzi a few places and order a few people for Gongzi to dispatch." Gongzi has a good life, such as Lu Blacksmith in the East Yifeng Iron Shop in the Imperial Capital City, and He Boss, the leader of the opera troupe in Yueling Theater......"

……

"I've already thought of countermeasures for the rest, and tomorrow, I'm going to go to the court to see Wei Tian." I said.
