Chapter 11: The Grace of Saving Lives
What's more, Jin Can's lies are not vulnerable at all!
Only if you are treated badly will you complain of injustice in your chest, and if you are treated well, how can you make trouble out of thin air.
Besides, she really said Xiao Mingwu in front of Emperor Cheng, except for making the nobles think that she didn't know the general situation, disrespected her eldest brother, and tended to be inflammatory, there would be no impact, of course, the return gift may really be less.
But Xiao Mingyi won't tell Xiao Mingwu about this.
She thought that if she said it, Xiao Mingwu would feel that she thought he was stupid, although she thought so, but she couldn't say it.
Second, she was afraid that Xiao Mingwu would misunderstand more and feel that it didn't matter to her.
After a long time, Xiao Mingwu said in a sullen voice: "But why did he do this?" ”
"yes!" Xiao Mingyi echoed, and there was no emotion on her face.
"I don't know why Lord Jin did this, I let the eldest prince be good to me because we are both prosperous and loss-oriented, then on the contrary, Lord Jin provokes the eldest prince and comes to me for trouble, or ......"
Xiao Mingyi paused suddenly as she spoke, and looked at Xiao Mingwu with deep eyes like ancient wells.
Xiao Mingwu involuntarily asked, "Or what?" ”
"Or!" Xiao Mingyi said word by word, and said very seriously, "He wants the life of the eldest prince!" ”
Xiao Mingwu raised his head suddenly, his eyes like copper bells glared at Xiao Mingyi, and at the same time retorted loudly: "Impossible!" ”
"Is it impossible?" Xiao Mingyi was not flustered, and asked softly.
"Impossible, you don't know, he saved the life of Prince Ben, the third year before he was going to kill me at the banquet at his house, I should have drunk that cup of poisoned wine, if he hadn't helped me block it, I would have died then, you know?"
Well, it turned out to be a life-saving grace!
Xiao Mingyi remembered a story she read in the book, saying that there was a down-and-out scholar who fell in love with a young lady from a wealthy family, so she went to ask for a marriage, but the big family naturally did not allow it. It happened that the scholar's cousin was a master of flowers, and seeing that his cousin was so troubled, he helped him come up with an idea of a hero to save the beauty, and the scholar felt that it was feasible, so he sold his family's belongings, hired a group of people, and kidnapped the young lady on the way to the green, and the scholar stepped forward at this time and saved the young lady, but he was injured. The young lady and her family were moved, so they agreed to the marriage, and the scholar got the beauty as he wished.
At that time, when she read this book, she looked down on this scholar very much, but he was just a disciple who did not seek progress but took some crooked ways.
And the young lady got married, just to take care of her reputation. She never thought that Miss was obsessed with scholars, just because she felt that this plan was really clumsy, such a coincidence, it is not difficult to make people doubt, which wealthy family will check when they encounter this kind of thing, with the power of Miss's family, it is too easy to find out, but Miss's family is unwilling to investigate.
Don't you want to have a reputation not only for women but also for men?
The whole room could only hear Xiao Mingwu's panting voice, Xiao Mingyi watched him clench his fists on the round table, his eyes were almost bloodshot.
Xiao Mingwu is definitely not a good person, but he is very protective of the people he trusts, and he is easily unwilling to give up this trust, but he is very helpless, he believes in a person who wants his life from the beginning.
Xiao Mingyi sighed slightly in her heart, her lips opened slightly, and she said slowly: "Has the eldest prince ever thought that if the third prince killed you in his mansion, the king might forgive the third prince?" ”
Xiao Mingwu didn't think about it, and replied directly: "Why not?" My father has always favored the third child, and this prince has never been in his eyes! ”
"The eldest prince is wrong!"
Xiao Mingwu didn't refute Xiao Mingyi anymore, looked at her with a sneer, and waited for her to continue.
Xiao Mingyi didn't care about Xiao Mingwu's gaze, and said: "The third prince may really want to kill the eldest prince, but this time, he must not really kill the eldest prince." If the eldest prince is really unfortunate to die, the eldest prince Jiuquan does not need to be sad, and soon after, the third prince will be buried with you. ”
When Xiao Mingwu heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Don't dream, if the Jiang family is still there, the third child will not necessarily be buried with you if he kills you, me?" Forget it! ”
Xiao Mingwu's last sentence actually heard some self-deprecation, which made Xiao Mingyi look sideways.
But that didn't bother her, and she still spoke at a steady pace, like a trickle.
"The eldest prince thinks about it, why did the third prince kill you?"
"Naturally, for the throne!"
Xiao Mingyi bowed his head: "That's it, the eldest prince understands, does the eldest prince think the king will not understand?" The eldest prince thought that whoever was closest to the throne was the king! Since the third prince can kill his brother for the throne, what is the possibility of killing his father for the throne, and the eldest prince thinks that the king will keep him? Or does the eldest prince think that the king loves the third prince and can not want his own life? ”
Naturally not!
Xiao Mingyi knows the answer, and Xiao Mingwu also knows.
Xiao Mingyi doesn't know much about the King of Dian, even if he knows it from his father, it's just a few words.
But just from the fact that he listened to slander, uprooted the Jiang family, and couldn't wait to show his sincerity to send Princess Yan to make peace, how the King of Dian behaved, it can be seen that he is general.
This kind of person who acts in general, but his sense is extremely keen, once there is wind and grass around him, whether it is the wind blowing or the grass is moving, this grass will definitely be eradicated in time, and it is better to kill by mistake than let go.
Xiao Mingwu was silent, lowering his head and not knowing what to think.
Xiao Mingyi didn't say anything anymore, took the teacup from the tea tray again, and poured herself a cup.
In the hot summer, saying so many words is really dry.
There was silence in the room, and after a long time, Xiao Mingwu raised his head and said sullenly: "This prince still doesn't believe it." ”
Xiao Mingyi put down the teacup and waited for Xiao Mingwu to continue.
There was almost no gap, and Xiao Mingwu said again: "Unless you have real evidence." ”
Xiao Mingyi smiled lightly, she knew that Xiao Mingwu had believed it, but she just thought it was ridiculous, not Xiao Mingwu, but this world.
If the world is disgusted with a person, and thinks that all the evil things in the world have been done by this person, it is useless to prove that he is a good person with real evidence. If you appreciate a person, you feel that he is the best person in the world, that is, you know in your heart that he has done all the evil things, and you also need to have a real evidence to die for yourself.
"I'm afraid I can't do it with real evidence, and I have to rely on the eldest prince."
Xiao Mingwu immediately looked at her with cross-eyebrows, and there was coldness in his eyes.
Xiao Mingyi was not afraid at all, and his voice remained slow: "The eldest prince just has to drink and have fun with Lord Jin as in the past as in the past, ignore what Lord Jin said, keep an eye on Lord Jin, and the eldest prince will get his wish." ”
