"Then ......" Xiao Zhuo raised his hand and saluted me: "Will Gu Qing leak what this palace has done?" ”

"Before that, Wei Chen wants to ask His Highness a few questions."

Xiao Zhuo put on a posture of 'willing to hear the details', and I said: "Your Highness painstakingly designed to take away His Royal Highness Lingjun, is it to take more revenge, or to have more status for yourself?" ”

Xiao Zhuo looked confused, and even felt a little funny, and asked rhetorically: "Is this question important?" ”

I smiled: "Maybe for Your Highness, there is no difference between the two, but for some people, it is important. ”

After a pause, he said: "Even if Weichen doesn't say it, His Highness should know that Weichen's senior brother has always admired His Highness's talent and character, and this matter is ...... It hit him hard, and Wei Chen just wanted to know what kind of person and that person he had decided to be loyal to before, and whether that person had lived up to his loyalty. ”

Xiao Zhuo was stunned, as if he didn't expect me to say this, and after a while, he turned his head and said softly: "That Fu Tianzhi...... He is indeed a very good man, but as you can see, Hongu is not what he thinks in his heart, and from now on, he will no longer have to hope in Hongu, which is also a good thing for him. ”

I said lightly: "This is His Highness's judgment, but it is not the will of the senior brother, Wei Chen thought, even so, the senior brother still wants to know what His Highness feels in his heart." ”

Xiao Zhuo looked at me, and finally sighed, and explained helplessly: "They killed the closest brothers and sisters of this palace, more than once, and caused the tragic death of the father, king, and mother of this palace, and this palace is just a little punishment...... You're right, this palace is doing this, but also to stabilize its position, Lingjun does not get rid of, the Qi family is like a hundred-legged insect, and will not die for the position of the crown prince, but in this world, in addition to the word Li, there are always some other things, which is difficult to give up. ”

When he spoke, his face showed a grief and anger that he had rarely seen before, as if he was a fledgling teenager, with a jerky and immature spirit, not like he was pretending.

I'm willing to take his word for it.

So, he continued to ask: "The second question, His Highness Lu Yun, was His Highness able to kill him?" ”

Xiao Zhuo looked at me, as if he was a little puzzled, I explained: "Wei Chen just suspected, I feel that the death of His Royal Highness Lu Yun is a little strange, how could His Royal Highness, who is famous for riding and shooting, die of fright because of falling off a horse, and besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was found to have died of heart palpitations in the study, these two are too coincidental, I am afraid that it is not only Wei Chen who feels that this matter is related to His Royal Highness." ”

Xiao Zhuo was silent for a long time before he said lightly: "If this palace says no, will you believe it?" ”

"Believe, of course believe."

In response to Xiao Zhuo's puzzled expression, I sat up straight and replied, "If I don't believe it, Weichen won't ask the question just now." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Zhuo's eyes looked at me and became a little uncertain, the current situation is not that I don't believe him, but that he is considering whether he should believe me.

After a moment, he said: "You are right, there are indeed some people in the court who feel that this matter is planned by this palace, but Lu Yun is the imperial uncle of this palace, that is, the elder of this palace, since ancient times, the elders and young have been humble, this palace has no grudge against him, and he does not dare to commit the crime of killing his elders, and the matter of his fall from the horse is indeed arranged by this palace, but why he died, this palace does not know." ”

I also thought about this matter, Xiao Zhuo seems to be thoughtful, but he still attaches more importance to blood kinship, otherwise he would not have painstakingly designed to send Lingjun out of the palace, instead of killing him directly.

It's just that if it wasn't Xiao Zhuo doing it, who would it be?

I don't believe that a highness in the prime of life, a person who is favored by the king because of his armed cavalry and shooting, would lose his life for such a ridiculous reason as 'falling from a horse and being frightened', so I can only ask: "The third question, Your Highness Lingjun, how is it now?" ”

Xiao Zhuo's expression sneered: "This palace has already said that no matter how much you complain, you will not attack your blood relatives, Gu Qing asked this, is it suspected that this palace will kill an innocent child?" ”

I picked up the jade flute, and stroked it with my fingers along the hole in it: "Weichen believes that His Highness will not do this, but there must be a certainty in everything, that's all." ”

Xiao Zhuo glanced at me, probably feeling that I was a difficult person, and finally sighed: "The palace only ordered someone to send him out of the palace, and now, he is probably in a farmer's house." ”

Hearing this, I curled my lips and replied, "Wechen's question is finished, and now I can give His Highness the answer." ”

"No, it won't."

I was straightforward, confided these two words, and said: "What His Highness did, Weichen will not leak half a word to the outside world." ”

Xiao Zhuo was speechless for a long time before asking, "Why?" ”

I pretended to be free and easy, and replied: "Wechen recently, I like a word very much, this word is called temperament, although as a warlock, abandoning seven emotions and six desires is the most basic thing, but Wechen has recently figured out one thing, people, the reason why they are human, different from other livestock and plants, are because people have feelings, we are mortals, love and hatred, greed and hatred, what's wrong?" ”

"If His Royal Highness just replied to Weichen, the reason why His Royal Highness Lingjun was taken away was to protect his position, perhaps, Weichen would also talk to His Highness about the conditions and use this matter to excuse himself, but the reason why His Highness has such a move is to seek justice for his father and mother, this is filial piety, if Weichen uses this as a threat, isn't it greedy for life and afraid of death, ruthless and unjust?"

"Aren't you afraid that this palace will tell the imperial grandfather what you did in Fahua Temple and let him kill you?"

To tell the truth, I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but if Xiao Zhuo really wants to kill me, he can sue me directly in front of the king, why call me to the mansion today?

He was afraid that I would leak the matter of His Highness Lingjun and let him be criticized by the world, but if I really threatened him with this matter, I would definitely become a thorn in his side in the future.

Moreover, now that Lu Yun is dead, Rui Wang Xiao Yun is far away in Yingzhou, and he is suspicious of the king, and several other princes are cowardly and mediocre, and they are not candidates for the king at all, and only Xiao Zhuo is credible by the king's side, even if I tell him that Xiao Zhuo took away His Royal Highness Lingjun, like the incident of Shujin Niangniang, he is at most angry and unhappy in his heart, but he will not be angry with the current prince for the sake of a baby.

So now, it's better to retreat and advance to eliminate Xiao Zhuo's doubts early, I understand his temperament, and after the next words, he will definitely not embarrass me.

So, I continued: "It's not a pity to deceive the king, it's not a pity to die, but before that, Weichen wants to ask His Highness for something." ”

Xiao Zhuo asked, "What's the matter?" ”

I said: "Weichen's senior brother Fu Tianzhi is just an ordinary person, he was implicated by me, and he participated in some things, he just called those guards to the mansion, according to what I said, asked them some questions, knowing that His Royal Highness took His Royal Highness Lingjun out of the palace, with his temperament and admiration for His Highness, even if he felt disappointed, he would not reveal this matter, damaging His Highness half a point, as for the princess's affairs, he didn't know anything, and asked His Royal Highness to raise his noble hand in front of the king, spare his life, don't embarrass him." ”

Xiao Zhuo stopped talking, he looked at me for a while, as if judging whether I said these words to coax him or out of sincerity.

After that, he said: "Before the palace decides whether to inform the imperial grandfather of this matter, you might as well ask Gu Qing a few questions." ”

As soon as these words came out, I knew that I had won the bet on this matter, so I smiled and said, "Your Highness, please speak." ”

Xiao Zhuo asked, "How did you know about the Tenth Demon Tower?" ”

I had already prepared, so I replied: "Your Highness knows who Wei Chen is studying from, and why is it strange to know such a thing?" ”

"Han Zheng?"

Xiao Zhuo frowned, a little incredulous: "This matter is very old, if it weren't for the emperor's grandfather to mention it, even the palace wouldn't know, how did he know?" ”

I straightened my back to make myself look more serious, and said, "Your Highness knows who Wechen is taught by, so you should know who Wechen's master has done things for." ”

"Uncle Rui Wang?"

Xiao Zhuo's face changed slightly: "What do they want to do?" ”

I then replied: "What they want to do, Wechen doesn't know, but the master mentioned this matter, and the instruction at that time was to 'act at the opportunity', Wechen didn't know what he meant by 'acting at the opportunistic', so he could only follow his own understanding and 'act at the opportunity'." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Zhuo was a little crying and laughing, and asked, "Is that evil baby also deliberately arranged by Gu Qing?" ”

I hummed, and then listened to him: "However, if Gu Qing just wants to help the princess, he can handle this matter quietly, why is he willing to take such a risk and cause trouble to the palace?" ”

This Xiao Zhuo has a good relationship with my senior brother.

I lowered my eyes and said slowly: "Because someone once said to Wei Chen, although there are occasional injustices in this world, he believes that the state of the human heart is still towards the light in the end." ”

Weichen wants to verify that this sentence is true, and he also wants to make himself believe that the state of the human heart is indeed more light than darkness, selfish, and cannot withstand human affection after all. coincided with the disappearance of His Royal Highness Lingjun, so he wanted to take this opportunity to confuse the public with the evil of that baby and disturb the palace, wanting to see how the king would react when he learned about it. ”

"That's all?"

Xiao Zhuo seemed to be a little unconvinced.

I nodded, and listened to him again: "Then do you want to know, what did the imperial grandfather say to the palace?" ”

I raised my eyes to look at him, like a prisoner waiting to be sentenced, only to see Xiao Zhuo's eyes lowered, his eyelashes were thin and slender, more beautiful than a woman, from a very young age, it was like this.

He sighed and replied, "Grandfather Huang instructed that the person in the Tenth Demon Tower, no matter what method he used, to disperse his undead, even if she could not be reborn forever. ”

I grinned, smiling reluctantly, maybe a little ugly, and heard Xiao Zhuo ask, "Gu Qing is disappointed?" ”

I hummed and replied, "Sort of." ”

"Then Gu Qing doesn't have to be like this."

Xiao Zhuo also looked at me with his lips hooked, and his smile was stained with a half-cunning evil aura: "This palace has just decided that no matter what Gu Qing did before, here in this palace, he doesn't know anything. ”

I paused for a moment and asked, "Why?" ”

Xiao Zhuo stood up, perhaps because he had been kneeling for too long, so it was not very convenient to get up, so he walked to the railing with his hands, and said with emotion: "Someone once said to this palace that children can distinguish between right and wrong, and adults only look at the pros and cons." Just rely on enthusiasm to do what you think is right, in this world, except for your senior brother, this palace has not seen this kind of person for a long time. ”

As he spoke, he turned around, but the smile just now gradually became warm like a big brother, and said, "Recently, Bengong also likes a word, which happens to be the same as Gu Qing." ”

I was silent for a moment, moved my body, and bowed deeply in his direction, and said: "Senior brother is not mistaken, His Royal Highness is really a kind and generous person, and it will be a blessing for all the people in the world in the future. ”

Xiao Zhuo was silent for a while, looked at me condescendingly, and said for a long time: "Gu Qing said so, this palace is very happy, but you have to do things for this palace...... Please forgive us for not being able to agree. ”

I raised my head in confusion, and then listened to him and said: "Actually, long before Gu Qing, your senior brother had already approached the palace and wanted to do things in the palace's mansion, but the palace did not agree, do you know why?" ”

I thought about it for a moment, and finally, I smiled bitterly: "Because of us, do we have a common master?" ”
