Chapter Forty-Seven: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake
"County Lord." Looking at the shallow smile that overflowed from the corner of Yun Zhen's lips, Liuli's gaze couldn't help but fall on the letter in her hand, and she couldn't help frowning. "That Princess Chen Jing, can you believe it?"
Under Liuli's gaze, Yun Zhen grabbed the letter in her hand and handed it to Liuli.
"It's just the intersection of interests, how can there be eternal friends."
Liuli looked at the past at a glance, and couldn't help but secretly speak. "Didn't you hear that this Princess Chen Jing and King Chen Jing are childhood sweethearts?"
"How, how."
Yun Zhen seemed to see what Liuli hadn't said yet, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she suddenly stood up from her seat and moved her muscles. "Women are often much calmer than men when they are in danger and persecution, this Princess Chen Jing."
"She knows very well that once the matter is revealed, Huangfu Heng can't bear it, but she is just waiting for the opportunity, and when the time is ripe, let alone herself, her pair of children will not survive."
Liuli hesitated for a moment, and under Yun Zhen's gaze, she reached out and lit a candle, burning the letter in her hand before hesitating. "This Princess Chen Jing is too ignorant of current affairs, and at this moment, she can't tell the position and increase her bargaining chips."
Yun Zhen glanced at Liuli with a smile and said meaningfully. "Do you really think she's ignorant of current affairs?"
Liuli was slightly stunned by her, and then suddenly suddenly.
"This Princess Chen Jing is also a little smart, and she also knows how to bargain with me and put a lot of chips on it."
"If she hadn't been so impatient, I wouldn't have dared to trust her."
Yun Zhen's right hand covered the table, and her fingertips unconsciously hit the table a few times.
"Everything is ready now, only the east wind is owed."
Yun Zhen groaned slightly, and involuntarily paced two steps to the windowsill, but she didn't push the window open, but only looked out through the gap revealed by the windowsill.
"But you found Zhao Qinxiu?"
Hearing Yun Zhen mention this stubble, Liuli's eyes involuntarily lit up for a moment, and a thin layer of joy rarely appeared on her face. "Sent someone to carefully investigate the surroundings, Chen Yuwang has even gone to the courtyard these days."
"Thinking about it, that Lan Shizi has a little bit of a desire to cooperate with the county lord."
Yun Zhen's eyes flashed, but she didn't say anything, just slandered in her heart.
Lan Ze is just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, even if he doesn't say it, I'm afraid it won't take long for her to find out.
It's just a matter of time and effort.
However, it also saves a lot of trouble, if it is according to her original method, those people have a lot of mouths, and it will inevitably alarm others, but this is in the realm of Huangfu Heng, if you startle the snake, you will lose all your efforts.
Thinking about it this way, Lan Ze is quite acquainted.
"It's been a few days since the end of the party, why hasn't His Majesty Nantang moved?" Liuli pondered for a moment, in fact, this doubt had been in her mind for a long time.
The Southern Tang Kingdom held a state banquet, and it was probably a few days before the banquet could be dismissed.
Countries that are a little farther away will probably open their mouths and leave in the next few days.
This time, those envoys did not open their mouths to leave, and Yun Zhen probably knew a thing or two about what they were thinking.
Yun Hao smiled faintly. "After all, I've been waiting for five or six years, and it's not too bad for a few days."
In addition to the letters sent by Hua Yunxiu two days ago, she has received some urgent letters from Hua Yunxiu in the past two days, these letters are all sent in the form of family letters, fortunately, Mrs. Xu is old, and her body is more or less uncomfortable, so even if it is a family letter, it is more frequent.
No one else can find anything wrong.
Most of the records in those letters are that Cheng Qiu has been mobilizing the army in the name of military exercises, and he is about to move.
When they are ready over there, I am afraid that this side will also do it one after another, and then they will be caught off guard by a two-pronged approach.
Yun Zhen glanced down at the windowsill through the gap and saw the eyeliner outside, she groaned for a moment, and couldn't help but reach out and close the windowsill.
"County Lord, these days, there seems to be a lot of eyeliner outside." After all, this Southern Tang Dynasty is not their Ling country, and now the envoys of various countries are attacking, opening the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the fish and dragons are mixed.
Liuli was afraid of alarming those people, so it was naturally impossible to find out which country these people were sent from.
Yun Zhen nodded.
In the past few days, Qi Shenghua has gone out normally, but she has stayed in the room and never gone out.
It's not that I'm afraid of bumping into anyone, after all, I should see what I should see, what I shouldn't see, I saw them all, if she was careful, she was afraid that she wouldn't be so unlucky, and she would face Huang Fuheng.
It's just that in the end, Yun Zhen thought about it for a moment, and decided to stay in the room, after all, it was better to be careful than less.
She always had a vague sense of it, although Lan Ze was able to recognize her, and there was a part of luck.
But Huang Fuheng is very scheming, and now is a critical moment, and there must be no mistakes.
If there is a trace of clues, which makes him move his mind and realize his identity, it will not be very stable.
At the very least, wait until everything is in order.
Seeing Yun Zhen walking around the room, and then sitting back down, Liuli silently followed behind Yun Zhen.
Yun Zhen pondered for a moment. "If it's decided, I'll do it today, and arrange Zhao Qinxiu properly."
"Do it today?" Ruri hesitated for a moment. "If there's a big commotion."
She looked at Yun Zhen very carefully for the past two days, could it be that she had guessed before?
"What are you afraid of?" Yun Zhen sneered, thinking of King Chen Yu and King An Rui, her eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly. "After so long, it's time to close the net."
"Let's first fulfill Huang Fu Heng's wish, let them be suspicious of each other, and then, let's see how Huang Fu Heng set himself on fire."
......
"That Xiao Jiu hasn't been caught yet?" As he spoke, Huang Fu Heng's heart jumped for no reason, and he reached out and pressed the corners of his eyebrows.
"Xiao Jiu Nai has a skill, if others are really easy to be fooled by him." The man in black sighed. "If it weren't for Zhao Qinxiu's inadvertent leakage, others would not have been able to detect Xiao Jiu's existence."
After that, the man in black saw Huang Fuheng's appearance like this, and couldn't help but take a step forward, and half of his body had already stepped out of the shadows.
Just standing in the sun, he looked very unaccustomed.
His eyes couldn't help narrowing, although this man was the best among ordinary men, but it was worse than the Southern Tang Dynasty, standing on the side of Huangfu Heng was still a little thin, he was wearing pure black clothes, with light patterns printed on his head, just because he was in the dark.
The pattern blends in completely with the garment, so that his robe looks like a night gown, and it is easy to ignore the past.
Compared with the dull black on his body, the complexion of the man's face is not white, but there is a slight color difference between his neck and cheeks, and his voice is not slow, and his speech is as if he is reading a book with emotion, which makes people feel tight like a spring breeze.
If you ignore the darkness in his eyes, I am afraid that someone will regard him as a teacher.
"The prince has not been able to sleep well these days?"
Huangfu Heng responded lightly and spoke. "Father, I don't know if I know something these days, and I always want to tie this king to my side."
"It's a very nice thing to say, and it's said that it values me." Huang Fuheng always felt that things were not so simple. "However, this king always feels that this matter is not so simple."
"Did you say there was any rumor from somewhere?" Huangfu Heng's face couldn't help but be gloomy. "In the past two days, I actually drank and ordered this king to bring Zhu Mo into the palace."
The man pondered for a moment, but he didn't know what came to mind, and spoke. "Zhu Mo is a scourge in the end, no matter who it falls into, he knows too much."
"It's better to get rid of it as soon as possible, and don't let Zhu Mo enter the palace."
"This king feels the same way." Huangfu Heng thought about it, and finally felt that Zhu Mo had escaped from the mansion inexplicably, I was afraid that there was some problem, but the strange thing was that he specially asked people to check what Zhu Mo had eaten in those days, and they all said that there was nothing wrong.
If something went wrong with eating, then what was the problem?
"What do you think, sir?"
The man pondered for a moment, then stroked his robe, and was about to step out of the darkness completely, but he stopped, he was still not very accustomed to the light outside.
"I'm afraid someone has done something about this."
"It's just that there are only a handful of people who can do their hands and feet in the prince's mansion, and it's at this point." The man suddenly fell silent, and Huang Fuheng couldn't help but glance at the man.
"Lord Wang, although Xiao Jiu has a skill, but in the end he is isolated, he is not a person who can bear it, didn't he break into Anrui Wangfu a few days ago?"
Huangfu Heng faintly realized what the man in black was going to say, and couldn't help but tilt his head and glance at the man. "What do you mean, sir?"
"Xiao Jiu was restrained by me, there shouldn't be an accomplice in the lonely shadow branch, after being stabbed by me, there was no news, even the prince's people can hide, so it means that the person who rescued him is a very skilled person."
"And if Xiao Jiu had these people as a help in the past, I am afraid that Zhao Qinxiu would have been rescued early, where would he have been persuading and waiting?"
"Then there's only one possibility." Huang Fuheng was silent for a long time, raised his eyes and said word by word.
"Those people only joined Xiao Jiu these days."
The man in black had a look of admiration in his eyes and spoke. "I've heard that the prince mentioned the Qinghuang County Lord."
"I heard that the county lord of Qinghuang has the demeanor of his sister Princess Huasang, and he is not a vegetarian character, the prince thinks, is it possible?"
"Qinghuang planned early in the morning, and sneaked into the Southern Tang Dynasty by taking advantage of the fact that he was too seriously injured?" Huangfu Heng's brows tightened into a line.
If this is the case, then Qinghuang is afraid that he has known a lot of things early?
Huangfu Heng became more and more aware of the unbelievability, and carefully considered it again and again.
Qinghuang is only eighteen this year? Was she deliberately hiding it at the beginning, or did he have no eyes?
actually ignored such a scourge in the past and ended up in such an embarrassing scene today.
"It's not impossible." The man in black sighed. "After all, Lord Wang, you withdrew too hastily, and you didn't have a good tail, and it is not strange to be chased by the Qinghuang County Lord who found some clues."
Qinghuang actually chased all the way?
Huangfu lowered his eyes, and he didn't know what he was pondering.
The man didn't care what Huang Fuheng was thinking, and spoke. "Lord Wang, if it is really the county lord who came, I am afraid that the person who came is not good, and the prince should prepare early."
Huangfu Heng immediately came back to his senses.
That's right, if it's true that Qinghuang has been looking for it all the way, it has been a few months apart, what should be known and what shouldn't be known, I'm afraid she will know.
At the moment he is in the light, she is in the dark.
If she had been careful, it would have taken some effort for him to find her.
"Of course, after all, this is in the Southern Tang Dynasty, not in the Ling Kingdom, and the county lord really wants to be like in the Ling Kingdom, and I am afraid that he will not be able to do it."
The man groaned for a moment. "It's not impossible to add some small stumbling blocks to the prince."
"So, I don't know if Mr. Zhu Mo is likely to fall into the hands of the Qinghuang County Lord?" Huang Fu Heng felt very embarrassed in his heart, his eyes blinked slightly, if he knew that Hua Yunzhen would become such a scourge, he was afraid that he would strangle him to death in the morning, and he would be a hundred.
Think about it carefully, if Zhu Mo really fell into her hands, even if she only came to find Zhao Qinxiu, she was tortured and interrogated, I am afraid that she would really know everything.
The man was silent for a long time before shaking his head. "It's hard to say."
"If Zhu Mo really falls into the hands of that Qinghuang County Lord, the prince must make plans as soon as possible."
The man observed Huang Fu Heng's increasingly gloomy complexion, blinking slightly. "However, the county lord of Qinghuang is just a female streamer in the end, and in this Southern Tang Dynasty, it is not so easy to stand on her feet, as long as the prince pinches her lifeline and guards Zhao Qinxiu well."
"Naturally, she wants to avoid it."
"After all, the lord of Qinghuang County is still young, even if she is smart, in the end she can't compare to her sister-in-law Princess Huasang's old way of handling affairs, as long as she is in the Southern Tang Dynasty for a day, there will always be a day when she can show her feet, the prince doesn't have to worry too much, don't forget, this is the Southern Tang Dynasty, it is the prince's territory, how can others take over the dominance?"
"Besides." The man lowered his head slightly, subconsciously touched his arm, and didn't know what he was touching, and there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
"Even if that Qinghuang County Lord has some small tricks, the prince can crush them with his bare hands, what are you afraid of?"
How could Huang Fuheng not hear the meaning of his words?
What he meant was that even Qinghuang's sister-in-law, Hua Sang was planted in his hands, Qinghuang was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, even if there were some means, wouldn't she be able to turn over the sky?
It's just that the words are this reason, but.
In the end, he has never confronted Qinghuang head-on, and he doesn't know how powerful that little girl is Qinghuang.
Huangfu Heng pondered for a moment, but decided to take the safe side, don't startle the snake, and send someone to guard Zhao Qinxiu first.
It's just that although he is interested in Yun Zhen, his reaction is a little slower.
Before he gave this order, Chen Yuwang had already caught up with the door.
