Chapter 023: The First Signs (3)

"Scarlet ......"

Senior brother frowned and shouted at me.

"There is no need to talk about this again." I interrupted him and avoided his gaze: "I just want to deal with the matter of Fahua Temple as soon as possible. ”

Senior brother did not speak.

I turned to look at him, and saw that he was standing motionless, as if he was in a stalemate with me, so I could only sigh and comfort: "His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, will not move His Highness Lingjun." ”

Senior brother looked up at me, and I continued: "Think about it, he has the ability to bring His Royal Highness Lingjun out of Mrs. Qi Ru's palace, and he has the ability to let that child die silently in the palace, why bother to involve His Royal Highness, who was just born in the Emperor's Grandson's Mansion, to arouse suspicion, but also to bring him out?" ”

Hearing this, the senior brother finally showed a smile: "Really! ”

I glanced at him, didn't answer, and found a place to sit down.

Seeing me like this, the senior brother lowered his head and said slowly: "Scarlet, I just ...... That's not what it means. ”

I still had a cold face and replied, "I know exactly what you mean, so why do you need to explain?" ”

"Besides, you're not wrong."

I turned my head and continued: "Senior brother, you and I have known each other since childhood, you know my temperament very well, it is none of my business, I will not meddle in my affairs, this behavior is only for you." ”

Seeing that I was angry, the senior brother stood for a moment before he said dryly, "I know." ”

He paused, and then asked, "Do you think, where will His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun take His Royal Highness Lingjun to?" ”

"What are you asking for?" With a sneering expression, I asked, "Are you trying to get that kid back?" ”

Senior Brother was silent for a moment and replied, "I just want to make sure that His Highness Lingjun is safe now. ”

I looked away and said, "The king is old and seriously ill, and it is only a matter of time before His Royal Highness the eldest grandson succeeds to the throne, do you think that in this world, for him, there is a place that will be more dangerous than the palace?" ”

"No matter where you are, it's not a good thing to be able to stay away from the palace, away from the royal family, and no longer participate in the battle for the prince."

The senior brother snorted, finally relieved, and asked, "Then what should we do next?" ”

"I should ask you about this."

I took the jade flute in my hand and looked at it, and said, "We have determined that the baby in the Fahua Temple is related to the king, and there are two paths in front of us now. ”

"One is to plan the matter, pretend not to know the inside story of this matter, His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson, even if he talks to us about the Fahua Temple, he must pretend not to hear or understand, let him find someone else to deal with this matter, and after the matter is completed, if they still want to pursue you and me, we will take the matter of His Royal Highness Lingjun and win a chance to get out in front of the Emperor Grandson, this method is safer."

"The second is to take the initiative and solve the matter in the Fahua Temple before His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun doesn't look for us again, or before he finds someone else to deal with the baby."

The senior brother was entangled for a while: "Is there any difference between the two?" ”

"Of course there is a difference."

I crossed my legs and replied: "If we choose the former, then we can sleep well tonight, if the latter, you and I are afraid that we will have to go to Fahua Temple, not only that, once someone finds traces, it may make the king and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson suspect that the degree of our knowledge of this matter, and the risks we take, may not be something that His Royal Highness Lingjun can solve." ”

The senior brother was dumbfounded for a long time and said, "I want to go to Fahua Temple." ”

"That baby ......"

He paused, and added, "No matter who it is and what it has to do with the king, if we find out about it and want to put an end to it, we will send it away and hand it over to someone else, I am not at ease." ”

Hearing this, I bent my lips, stood up, and pressed his shoulder with the jade flute: "Then, pack up your things, and now follow me." ”
