Chapter Eighty-Three: Sincere Help
King Jin smiled contemptuously.
"If Miss Lu just said that she admires this king and is willing to commit herself to this king, how much is this king willing to believe --- help this king become the prince of the East Palace? You are a little boudoir woman, why do you have such a naughty smile with this king. ”
Lu Jiayue didn't expect King Jin to believe her words easily, so she was not in a hurry to explain, Gu Zi covered her heart and kept gasping, and after a while, her mind calmed down a little before she slowly spoke.
"Your Highness must promise not to come even half a step closer to me... I'll tell you the truth. ”
The sense of urgency that was bound in the arms of King Jin seemed to be still there.
Lu Jiayue was still afraid.
Afraid that King Jin will do crazy things to her again.
If that were the case, she would have put all her decisions and plans behind and run away desperately.
The corners of King Jin's lips raised slightly, and he smiled ambiguously: "Miss Lu, don't worry, this Wang Yuan is not a frivolous person, just that impulsive... It's just that the girl will be wrong for a while. ”
Impulse?
In the heat of the moment, he almost ruined her innocence!
Lu Jiayue was full of resentment, but she didn't know whether to hate King Jin's impulsiveness or her own rashness.
There were tears in his eyes again.
When King Jin saw her tearful appearance, he unconsciously felt a trace of pity in his heart, and said softly: "Do you know that the way you cry is quite cute... If you cry again, I'm afraid that this king will really be impulsive again. ”
Lu Jiayue hurriedly wiped away her tears with the silk handkerchief in her hand.
King Jin smiled with his eyebrows, still as chic and handsome as in the past.
But Lu Jiayue will never have a good impression of him again.
She looked at King Jin coldly.
"Your Highness can think that my words are ridiculous, but why don't Your Highness think about it, if I don't have the intention of helping Your Highness, how can I secretly pass on the news to Your Highness."
When the King of Jin heard this, he smiled disapprerovingly: "Although you secretly passed the news to this king, let this king relieve the siege of Dingzhou, and temporarily suppressed Sun Bingyuan's ascendancy... However, since you have no intention of this king, why do you want to help this king become the prince of the East Palace. Whether this king enters the East Palace or not, what does it have to do with you? ”
Lu Jiayue knew that King Jin would have this question, and that day she was in the Yang Mansion, under the Star Tower, within an instant, she made a decision to secretly help King Jin and make him the prince of the East Palace and inherit the throne.
The king of Qi is young, and he will inherit the heir in the future, and it is difficult to guarantee that the king of Wei will not do the act of usurping the throne again, and the remaining princes are not able to compete with the king of Wei.
If the King of Wei succeeds in usurping the throne again, will the Qu family and his father Lu Mian have to suffer another catastrophe?
And only the King of Jin not only has both ability and political integrity, but also has the courage to lead his troops into the palace and fight to the death with the King of Wei. If he succeeds as the emperor, he will be able to put the king of Wei in a place where he will never turn over.
In the case of Dingzhou breaking the siege, it is not difficult to see that the King of Jin does have the decision to kill, and he can compete with the King of Wei.
After making that earth-shattering decision, Lu Jiayue had already begun to think carefully about how to convince King Jin to make King Jin believe every word she said.
Today, King Jin keeps claiming that she is Miss Lu, and he thinks that he has already investigated her background in detail.
In fact, she never thought of hiding her identity.
Calmly relative and unreserved, it is more likely to gain the trust of King Jin. Trying to cover it up will only make people suspicious and make things self-defeating.
Lu Jiayue withdrew her gaze from King Jin, her gaze fell nowhere, and finally fell to the ground.
She said slowly, word by word.
“... In fact, after the Lianghuai salt tax case, King Wei secretly signaled to my uncle Qu Hong to tamper with the accounts of the salt tax case for him in order to clear his relationship with the salt tax case, but my uncle refused. My uncle said that the king of Wei was arrogant and ruthless, so he was afraid that he would take revenge for himself in the future. Now he is only a prince, if he becomes the prince and inherits the throne in the future, I don't know where the Qu family will be placed? ”
"The Qu family treats me well, although I live in the Qu family, I also have to worry about the future of the Qu family. I think... Instead of sitting and watching the power of King Wei become more and more powerful, it is better to pull him off the horse as soon as possible, and choose another virtuous person to take the throne, so as to ensure the peace of the Qu family in the future. ”
King Jin listened quietly, and when he heard this, he suddenly smiled and said: "This king is just impulsive, you don't think that this king is a prodigal son, but that this king is a virtuous person?" ”
Lu Jiayue said indifferently: "Your Highness is just a romantic character, but it is better than King Wei's narrow heart and small amount. ”
King Jin Lang laughed a few times and said, "How do you know so much about my second emperor brother..." I heard that the Qu family and the Yang family are related, and Qu Shangshu is close to Yang Shoufu, you don't go to help the king of Qi, but you are willing to seek the near and far to help the king... This king and the Qu family have no relatives and no reason. ”
"The King of Qi is young, even if the Holy Lord prefers him and appoints him as the prince, there is still the King of Wei watching him, how can he sit firmly?"
"Then what about my third emperor brother King Wu and fifth emperor brother King Chu?"
"The second king of Wu Chu has no talent and no virtue, and it is reluctant to be the master of the city, His Royal Highness knows it, so why bother to say these useless words."
King Jin glanced at Lu Jiayue and said with a smile: "In this way, in your eyes, this king is actually a virtuous and talented person." ”
Lu Jiayue also glanced at King Jin, and said in a calm tone: "His Royal Highness has both ability and political integrity, and is more ambitious, and among the princes, he is outstanding." It's just that the King of Wei has the favor of the saint, and Sun Cifu is relied on, and above the court, the authority is deeper than that of His Royal Highness. ”
King Jin nodded approvingly.
"These words you said seem to be thorough, and there is no mistake or omission to find out, but this king cannot believe you completely. Besides, you haven't explained clearly to this king, how did you know about the siege of Dingzhou, since this matter was instructed by the king of Wei, then only his henchmen can know, how did you know about it, a boudoir woman? ”
King Jin's eyes were deep, and he looked at Lu Jiayue for a moment.
Lu Jiayue did not retreat in the slightest, took a deep breath, and said calmly: "Your Highness, can you know that Tong Baili and Guan Ming were in danger of being killed before the trial of the salt tax case?" Tong Baili was assassinated outside Cangzhou City, Guan Ming was poisoned in the prison of Dali Temple, and was rescued by Jin Yuwei. ”
"And no matter who dares to do this act against the sky, wanting to take the lives of Tong Baili and Guan Ming, just say that Jin Yuwei can't be unpredictable, why would he set up a defense, save Guan Ming, and stop the assassination?"
"I think His Royal Highness must have heard that someone sent a secret letter to Jin Shuwei in advance, so that Jin Yuwei got the news that Tong Guan and the others would be wiped out... If I tell Your Highness that I wrote the secret letter, will Your Highness believe it? ”
After saying this, there was silence in the attic.
King Jin did not move for a long time.
Lu Jiayue felt slightly strange and raised her eyes to look at King Jin.
King Jin's face turned pale, and his eyes were full of unbelievable shock.
He stretched out his hand to Lu Jiayue, and as soon as he spoke, his voice was hoarse: "--- then how did you know in advance that someone wanted to attack Tong Guan and the others?" ”
Lu Jiayue lowered her eyes.
She won't tell anyone about being born again.
Of course, even if she told others, they wouldn't believe it.
Lu Jiayue saluted to the King of Jin, and said solemnly: "As for why I knew in advance that Tong Guan and the others would be assassinated and besieged in Dingzhou, please forgive me for having nothing to say." I have told the truth and the truth before and after, in order to gain the trust of His Highness, to be honest with each other, and to have no suspicions, so that I can succeed. ”
"Nothing to suspect...? You won't even tell this king about this most important thing, how can you be honest? ”
King Jin was actually furious.
Lu Jiayue couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "Why does Your Highness need to get to the bottom of it?" Please only ask Your Highness to believe that I am sincere and sincere, and there is no falsehood. ”
"You really won't say it?"
"I have no comment."
King Jin sneered a few times, "Okay, good, if you don't say it, this king has no other way." But if you want to help this king, then this king asks you, this king wants to immediately cut off the arm of King Wei and get rid of Sun Bingyuan, where to start?! ”
