Chapter 357: Mutual Suspicion
Wu Yuan has been so busy lately, the guards sent by Hu Man waited for two or three hours to find someone, and when he came, it was already dark, and Hu Man simply prepared a meal to eat together.
"It's been a long time since I've tasted my sister-in-law's craftsmanship!" Wu Yuan couldn't wait to eat first: "It's been a busy day, and I'm really hungry." ”
Wu Zhan also let him have a stable meal, Wu Yuan was not easier than him, and it was very difficult to deal with the three princes between the two parties.
Hu Man served him a bowl of soup: "It seems that you have lost weight recently, your body is still weak, don't take it seriously, you don't need to pay attention to it if you think the surface is good!" ”
Wu Yuan smiled: "It's okay, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable." ”
After a few people ate, Wu Yuan hugged Xiao Yue'er and coaxed: "This child has changed his appearance after not seeing him for a few days, and he is more round." ”
"Well, the child is good, in addition to eating and sleeping, he will naturally grow fast." Hu Man took it: "I'll take the child to the nurse's house, you two brothers talk about things!" ”
Wu Yuan sat down at this time: "You are in such a hurry to find me, is there another movement on the prince's side?" ”
"Naturally, they won't sit still." Wu Zhan rubbed his eyebrows: "Ji Zongying came to me today, give me two choices, either don't take all the responsibility, or, let you find a way to get rid of the people in the hands of the third prince!" ”
"Are they turning their faces and not recognizing people?" Wu Yuan snorted coldly: "I keep saying that I am serious, and I will not be treated badly, and if something happens, I will push us out first!" ”
"Maybe they were on guard against us early on?" Wu Zhan narrowed his eyes: "Don't say it, the prince doesn't say it, Ji Zongying is definitely not so easy to be deceived, between me and Ji Mo, he will naturally trust Ji Mo more." ”
"Brother, do you mean that he came up with this problem on purpose to test us?"
"Count it out, it's missing the old fox Ji Fangying! He is the old minister who has followed the prince the longest and has the most weight, and he will definitely be more convincing than me when he speaks in front of the prince! Even if the prince has doubts about Ji Mo, he will not doubt him! It must have been something he said to the prince that made him come up with such two ideas to embarrass him! ”
"So what do we do?"
Wu Zhan's eyebrows revealed tiredness: "If the third prince can get the testimony now, we don't have to be so embarrassed." ”
"It's just a matter of time." Wu Yuan pondered for a while: "Brother, it's definitely not okay to kill those witnesses!" But now you can't break with the prince, and if you want to get through this pass, there is undoubtedly only one way......"
The brothers looked at each other: "Showdown!" ”
Wu Yuan smiled: "Sure enough, it's the same as I thought, if you want to deal with the crown prince, you can only ask for the cooperation of the third prince, but if you don't give him any information, it will be difficult for him to believe you." ”
Wu Zhan exhaled: "Although I don't have a good impression of him, compared to the people of Ji Mo's faction, I would rather him go to the end!" ”
Wu Yuan also echoed: "That's right, in fact, we used to have preconceived ideas, and we still had a lot of misunderstandings about him, the third prince does have a bad temper, and he never takes a roundabout and tactful way, but he is indeed not such a cruel person, and he will not greet people he doesn't like with a smile and stab him in the back, generally speaking, such a person is much better than Ji Mo's smiling tiger!" As for the crown prince, he is even less worthy of being supported by the eldest brother, not to mention that he is not capable and has no opinions, so he will be tempted by random doubts and temptations, and he will not be able to follow him with all his heart! ”
"I can't tell how it will be in the future, now it's a step at a time, otherwise, even this step won't be smooth." Wu Zhan took a deep breath: "Your identity can't be exposed yet, you are guilty of bullying the king, even if he trusts you now, he may not be held accountable, I will talk to him directly, show that I am not the prince's person, I hope he can cooperate and confuse the prince." ”
"Okay, then I won't show up." Wu Yuan sat down for a while, making sure that Wu Zhan was okay before leaving.
Early the next morning, Wu Zhan was going to go to find Yuan Ling, but his health was almost fine, who would have thought that Ji Mo, who had not gone out yet, and had been away for several days on leave, finally appeared, he still smiled: "I didn't come to visit in time, it seems that there is no big problem." ”
Wu Zhan's expression did not change: "Well, Master Ji hasn't been here for the past few days, and I'm still curious about where I went?" ”
"I'm home." Ji Mo looked at it: "Is this going out?" Looks like I'm not here at the right time! ”
"It's not important, just go in and talk about it!" Wu Zhan also happened to want to see what Ji Mo's attitude was now!
The two went directly to the private room on the second floor, and the guy served tea and went out, Ji Mo said: "The current situation is very unfavorable to His Highness, I really don't know how it has developed to this point." ”
The pair of masters and apprentices even said similar things, and Wu Zhan took a sip of tea: "It's that the third prince is too cunning, no one thought that he would be calculated." ”
Ji Mo raised his lips: "No matter how cunning he is, he doesn't have clairvoyance, I really don't understand, how could the original plan for the birthday banquet be so cleverly resolved by him!" ”
Wu Zhan's hand was on the arm of the chair, but his brain was spinning rapidly, Ji Mo was not a fool, he could think that someone had leaked it, it was normal, Wu Zhan said in a deep voice: "I really don't know, since Master Ji has this suspicion, I don't know if he has found out anything?" ”
"Well......" Ji Mo's expression was a little playful: "It's just some speculation, but there is no evidence, I hope he won't be caught by me next!" ”
Speaking of which, Wu Zhan is completely understood, he is here to listen to himself! He really doubted himself, after all, there were really not many people who knew about this at that time, and besides, he didn't know what the prince and the right minister told him, if he knew what Wu Zhan said to the prince, he would even point the finger at himself.
So now he is here to warn himself in disguise that if he doesn't want to be suspected and wants to prove his innocence, he must take action, such as... Make sure to kill those witnesses!
Wu Zhan exhaled deeply, he had tried his best to think about it, but he still couldn't resist the other party's backing and background, Wu Zhan got up: "Then I wish Lord Ji can get what he wants." ”
Ji Mo nodded: "I'll do it for a while, if you want to go out and get busy, just get busy, don't call me!" ”
After Wu Zhan walked out of the private room, Ji Mo slowly lowered the corners of his lips, if the teacher hadn't told him, he really didn't know that Wu Zhan actually led the prince to doubt himself! Why? He knew that doing so would only cause infighting, and coupled with the threat of the third prince, it would only make the prince's side fall faster!
Thinking about it, he can only think of one reason! That is, he is likely to doubt himself, suspect the arson case back then, otherwise he has no reason not to help the prince deal with the third prince!
What's more, it is absolutely impossible for him to betray the prince, and it is even more impossible for the money side, the answer is about to come out! It's just that he didn't expect the prince to be too speechless, and he would easily believe in the sowing of discord in martial arts! I have been with him for so many years, and in order to assist him, I was almost killed by the third prince, and he forgot about it?
Fortunately, when he talked to the teacher, he was drunk by the teacher, and after analyzing the relationship, he realized that it might be a conspiracy of martial arts, otherwise he might be cheated by his master!
It would be false to say that he was not disappointed, but when he came to this point, he had no other way to retreat, but to let him sit firmly on the throne of the prince!
Wu Zhan didn't go out for many days, but it turned out that God didn't let him go out, and he was going to go to the Three Princes' Mansion, but he saw a carriage coming in a hurry and stopped at the door.
It turned out that I was sick! Mu Lingai saw Wu Zhan and hurriedly said, "Lord Wu, is Mrs. Wu here?" ”
Wu Zhan nodded: "Come with me!" ”
Hu Man hugged his daughter, saw them, and handed the child directly to the nurse: "Take the child into the house, Ye Zhi, let the guy boil the medicine I prepared!" "She had prepared the medicine early in the morning, after all, it wouldn't be better for a while.
Hu Man and Mu Lingai took the child into the house, and there were two big men left in the courtyard, Wu Zhan stretched out his hand: "Sit down, the prince!" ”
Yuan Ling nodded expressionlessly, and after sitting down, he didn't say a word, Wu Zhan held a chess piece on the table in his hand: "Although Wu Zhan's chess skills are not good, I still want to ask for a lesson or two, the prince doesn't dislike it, right?" ”
Yuan Ling frowned, how could he have any mind to play chess now? So there was no action, and Wu Zhan picked up the white son back: "There are vines, the prince doesn't have to worry, but... Are you worried about the assassins captured by the prince? ”
