Chapter 30: Confidential Talks
I breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of my heart, I don't know if it was for Gao Chi or Kui Timberwolf.
It is still the clean mansion of Pan Gongzi, but the place for conversation is different from the past.
The door of the secret room opened, and suddenly a bright candlelight appeared, which was a little dazzling. I narrowed my eyes and realized that it was only today that I had finally approached the center of the puzzle, and I felt a surge of nervousness or excitement.
Seeing that my steps were stagnant, the Kuimu wolf behind me thought I was scared, so he reached out and patted me on the shoulder as if soothingly.
I heard a low, soft voice in my ear: "Don't worry. ”
I nodded and continued inside.
"Miss Leng, don't come unharmed." In the secret room, the fat man Gao Chi was rare and serious, and Pan Gongzi, who was sitting in an azure robe next to him, smiled at me with a jade bone fan, which was considered a courtesy.
"I had some inconvenience before, so I had to hide my identity, and I hope the girl will forgive me." Gao Chi bowed very neatly, "Below, Zhu Gaochi." ”
Zhu Gaochi...... The knowledge of Ming history accumulated by watching "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" in his previous life was finally successfully awakened.
Zhu Di's eldest son, the future crown prince, and the future Emperor Mingrenzong.
I secretly swallowed my saliva: I knew that the fat man's identity was precious, but I didn't expect it to be so expensive!
"The people's daughter Leng Xinyue has seen His Royal Highness the Great Prince!" I was about to bow down and bow, but the fat man stepped forward to support me, "Miss Leng doesn't need to be polite. I regard the girl as a friend, and I hope that the girl can treat me as a friend. ”
I said "yes" and got up, thinking that you didn't have to worry about the bricks and the money you were extorted in my house before, friend.
"Presumably Miss Leng also knows that someone wants to blame His Royal Highness the Grand Prince for Qingli's death," the four of us sat down around the tea table, and Pan Gongzi began to preside over the meeting with a jade bone fan in his hand, "Now that the evidence has been lost, the situation is very unfavorable to His Royal Highness, I don't know what the girl thinks?"
I groaned for a while and straightened out my thoughts, since the fat man has revealed his identity, then the mysterious behind-the-scenes big man who is qualified to be an opponent with the eldest prince is also about to come out.
"The Qingli case caused a stir in Jinling City, but it covered up another major incident." I took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "Not long ago, there was news from the Ministry of Rites that the eldest prince is going to be canonized as the crown prince, and the Ministry of Rites will choose a virtuous and virtuous woman as the crown princess among the princesses. ”
The fat man groaned slightly, nodded and said, "This is indeed the case." ”
"There was a case of Qingli at the juncture of wanting to establish the prince, and it caused a storm in the city, it can be seen that Qingli's death is just a pretense, what he really wants to stir up is the matter of His Majesty establishing the prince."
As soon as he said this, the faces of the three people in front of him changed rapidly. I thought to myself, if in a movie from my previous life, one of the three of them would have slapped the table, pulled a gun from his waist, pointed it at my head, and said, "You know too much."
"It seems," fortunately, there was no threat in the fat man's tone, but rather a sign of approval, "who wants to impeach me through Qingli's death, the girl also knows in her heart." ”
I smiled slightly, dipped my fingertips in the tea, and wrote the word "two" on the desk.
Looking at the fat man's reaction, I knew I had guessed right.
The second prince, Zhu Gaoxu, is the second son of Zhu Di, and Zhu Gaochi is the concubine of Queen Xu. In the Battle of Puzikou, he saved his father Zhu Di from danger.
