Chapter 37: A Shocking Chess Game
"Isn't it?" Noah bit her lower lip tightly: "It's all my own fault for being stupid, and I've been kept in the dark for so long." No wonder Bailijiu knew that Chu Qingchen wanted to unlock my memories and track down the prince's secrets, but he never dared to be calm with me, so he could only stop him again and again. It's no wonder that Baili Jiukou insulted Chu Qingchen one after another, saying that he took advantage of the danger of others, and he repeatedly wronged me for the sake of the Great Chu World. It's no wonder that when Baili Jiu heard that Jin Niang and Chu Qingchen had a personal relationship, he didn't care at all, and it seemed that he had already known. It's no wonder that the two of them have cooperated seamlessly and tacitly to save me many times. There were so many doubts in the past, but it turned out that they were all for this reason.
I only know that Baili Jiu is not as unscrupulous as it seems on the surface, but in fact it is deeply hidden and introverted. Unexpectedly, he still has such ambitions, and he wants to help Chu Qingchen plot against the world! ”
Noah's sonorous remarks are reasonable and well-founded, and no one can argue with them.
"No, Mrs. Lin, you really misunderstood."
"Did I misunderstand?" Nuoya stretched out her hand and pointed to the bookshelf behind her: "The books on it look varied, but in fact, the most attentive ones in them are still Confucian remarks, statecraft, and imperial techniques, and the others are just a little flip through one or two." Could it be that you dare to say that Chu Qingchen is not such an ambition?
I always thought that I was very good at acting, but it turned out that in front of Chu Qingchen, he was just a small thing, he used the world as a stage and made a shocking drama! What clouds are high in the sun, idle clouds and wild cranes, what fame and fortune are indifferent, and the mountains and rivers are in love? If my expectations are correct, he has lectured all over the world over the years, and he must have already met the talented people in the world and laid out the biggest game of chess. And, Baili Jiu is the most important one, he walks intimately with the prince and the third prince every day, and seems to have a lot of festivals with him, which is incompatible, but in fact, he secretly serves him Chu Qingchen! ”
Noya was filled with righteous indignation, feeling fooled and sad in her heart, facing the wind galloping, she couldn't help but gush about the crimes of Chu Qingchen and Baili Jiu.
Feng Chi was silent, and waited until Noya finally calmed down before he spoke: "Mrs. Lin, Feng Chi has a lot to say about today's matter, and I hope you can keep this secret for our master." ”
Feng Chi is the person Chu Qingchen trusts the most, and he clearly understands all his things and hardships.
Noah was still angry: "If you feel embarrassed, you don't need to say it, it has nothing to do with me." ”
"It has nothing to do with you, but I don't want our master to be misunderstood by you like this, especially when he is worried about his life now, and he still thinks about your safety."
Noah was silent for a moment before he said calmly, "Say it." ”
"Mrs. Lin is wise, my subordinates want to ask you, among the three princes, which one is the most suitable to be the emperor of our Great Chu? Please also call a spade a spade. ”
Noya said in a deep voice: "It is rumored that the prince has a violent temperament, suspicious, and many traitors around him, if he ascends the throne as the emperor in the future, he will easily listen to slander and be swayed by villains. Moreover, to be honest, the queen has some authoritarian power, and there is a lot of power behind her, so it is inevitable that she will interfere in politics in the future.
And I don't have much contact with the three princes, and they pretend to be brothers and sisters on the surface, but they secretly like to use some insidious methods, fan the flames, sow discord, and are narrow-minded. Especially when he actually obeyed his princess and concubine, he connived at her to participate in the court dispute, if he ascended the throne as emperor in the future, I am afraid that he would be easily bewitched by the three princesses.
As for your master, I don't dare to make judgments, from the perspective of knowledge and strategy, it is indeed far superior to the other two, and it is a rare talent that has passed through the heavens and the earth. However, he is too good at acting, and I can't see his true temperament clearly. ”
Her last words were sarcastic and unceremonious. She herself is already a dying person, so she is not afraid to speak, and in front of Feng Chi, she dares to say such a rebellious word.
"That's it, Mrs. Lin, it's not that your subordinates look down on you, to say something disrespectful, as a woman who has lived in a deep house for a long time, you can see the three of you so thoroughly, and the emperor is not stupid, how can you not be clear?"
One sentence made Nuoya instantly feel like an empowering: "Could it be that the emperor is him?" ”
"It's no secret that the emperor loves Mrs. Hui, because he had no scruples about loving Mrs. Hui, so he caused her a lot of trouble, and Mrs. Hui was wronged for a lifetime. Therefore, for my master, he never dared to show a little love in front of people, and he was quite disgusted, almost harsh.
Over the years, the emperor has made my master tenacious and mentally tough, suffered a lot of tempering, traveled all over the world, understood the people's sufferings, made friends with the people's strange people and sages, and knew about political evils. Secretly arranged for many top bachelors to teach him the way of governing the country and being a king, that is, to hope that one day, my master can live up to his high expectations, stir up the storm, and make a great difference. ”
Nuoya was surprised, and at the same time felt logical: "Baili Jiu was also ordered by the emperor?" ”
Feng Chi nodded: "Baili Mansion has always been loyal to the Great Chu Emperor alone, and will not participate in partisan disputes, if it is not for the emperor's approval, the Ninth Master will definitely not do this." ”
Noya closed her eyes, full of exhaustion, swallowed the sour throat with difficulty, and asked word by word: "So, all along, the two of them have been fighting for me, tossing all over the city, is it also fake?" It's all a show? ”
Feng Chi hesitated, silent.
As if confirmed, her heart slowly broke into pieces, but she was too tired to bother to put it together. It turns out that these are also fake, so is Bailijiu's love for his own doting, love, and affection also fake? The past touching, vows and alliances, is it just a joke?
She thought that Baili Jiu would confess her secrets to herself again and again, and there would be no more deception. She thought that she had escaped one conspiracy after another, and finally the spring blossomed, but it turned out that it was just an illusion, and she was still at the core of the huge conspiracy and had never left.
Brothers are like siblings, and women are like garments.
Nuoya secretly sneered in her heart, when Baili Jiu was tied up at the noon gate waiting to be beheaded, he was waiting outside the palace separated by a wall, such sanity and calmness, he should have listened to Chu Qingchen's guess, right? For the sake of the overall situation, for the sake of justice, what is her life worth for Lin Nuoya alone?
After returning to the capital from Handan, the two had frequent misunderstandings, if it was one, Noya would soon be relieved, but she was born one after another, which caught her off guard, like a snowball, and some of the misunderstandings that had been relieved also recalled, and doubted in her heart for no reason.
She began to contradict, she didn't know what kind of existence and position she had in Baili Jiu's heart, and whether he loved or used herself?
Perhaps, she is too greedy and harsh, and if she were any woman, she might also be grateful to Dade for such a pamper, and love him for a lifetime, partial to life, she Lin Nuoya is a person who can't rub sand in her eyes, what she wants is pure, without a little impurity and tainted feelings.
She leaned against the wall, bracing herself up, exhausted.
"Okay, I see."
When she opened her eyes, she was still the same place, the original scenery, but it was no longer the same thing, not the original mood.
"No, Mrs. Lin." Feng Chi refuted categorically: "Don't say whether the two are acting or in love, I can't evaluate Feng Chi without authorization, even if it's really that?" My master and the ninth master are all affectionate and pure to you, this is enough, is it necessary to be so harsh? ”
"What a place to be!" Noah sneered.
"Even if you can't trust my master, you shouldn't question the Ninth Master's thoughts about you. Especially since one of them is now imprisoned in the palace, and the other is still in a coma in bed, it is all for you, if it is not for the depth of love, how can you fight for yourself? ”
She knew that he hadn't seen Bailijiu for many days, and his body must not have healed yet. It's just that Chu Qingchen is imprisoned, what does it have to do with him?
"What's wrong with your master?"
"The master entered the palace two days ago, because he made a ridiculous decision without authorization, Chen gave the emperor, and he wanted to leave the responsibility and burden of painstaking management for you for more than ten years, and you will return to the mountains and rivers from now on, send love to the world, and no longer ask about political affairs! Just because of what you once said. ”
"Huh?" Noah was taken aback and incredulous: "How is it possible? ”
Feng Chi smiled bitterly: "My master may have done things to hurt you before, but he is to you, and I Feng Chi can guarantee that he will never be as merciful as you imagined." Now the emperor is furious and has put him under house arrest, and he has been fasting for almost three days! ”
Noah's heart was mixed for a moment, and she didn't know how to respond.
"Actually, I won't tell you anything, today the master once again contradicted the emperor, the emperor was angry and angry, and he had already prepared a will, to let the eunuch pass the decree and give you a death. It was Mrs. Hui who was worried that her master would be radical for a while, and for the sake of you blocking a sword to save him, she stopped the emperor with bitter advice. The master was very worried about your safety, so he secretly sent a message and asked me to take you to Zhuyuan for a while. ”
The emperor is ruthless, and what Bailijiu has always been most worried about is that one day, he will be punished by the emperor because of Chu Qingchen's persistence. The day really came, it was a little early, and Noah was a little caught off guard.
"Obeying him like this, don't you think it's hurting him Chu Qingchen?"
Feng Chi pondered for a moment and said: "I was originally just a tourist in the rivers and lakes, I never knew anything about the righteousness of the family and the country, I only knew how to be loyal to the second prince." Actually, I really want to kill you, that's the fundamental way, lest you get caught between my master and the ninth master, ruin their affection, and make the two turn against each other. ”
Noah smiled slightly: "Then why don't you do it, it's okay now, I don't have the strength to fight back, and besides, no one will doubt you." ”
