Chapter 312: The Matter of the Crescent Dagger
At that time, Zhiqi often kept vigil for Jinhuayuan, because it was easy to act at night, that is, during that time, she took the opportunity to communicate with Ximen Zhen, knew his plans and arrangements, acted according to his requirements, and was also familiar with his unique gestures.
She didn't expect that the first thing that the second prince who saved her life asked her to do, which was the only thing she had done for the second prince so far, helped him ruin his reputation.
Later, when she was appreciated by Jiang Ziyin and given to King Xuan, her father and mother who lived outside the palace were unexpectedly taken away, and since then she has been coerced by Ximen Yin, so that she is ready to play the role of Mrs. Xuan Wang.
And when she learned that her father and mother had lost the news, Simon Marks began to help her find someone, and when there was no news, he promised not to let her do things, just in case.
Although the second prince did not ask her directly, she also knew that the second prince was the one who knew what to do.
Just like in the ** hall just now, he must have known who she would meet, but he didn't ask anything.
And she has a lot of things that I don't know if I can say.
"You still don't understand?" Ximen Zhen looked at Zhi Qi and said, "I thought that after so many years, you have experienced some things recently, and you should be able to figure it out." ”
"Zhiqi is stupid, please make it clear to the second prince." Zhiqi shook her head slightly. She thought, this time the second prince should give her an answer, right?
"There is only one prince in the world, and the situation of all those who threaten the prince is also relatively dangerous. I don't have the fact that the third prince is sick, so I can only plan for my own actions. Ximen Zhen said very easily, and seemed to not care about his lost reputation at all, "A second prince with no future will always make some people feel at ease." ”
"The second prince deliberately ruined his reputation in order to hide people's eyes, isn't this more unfavorable to himself? The emperor will not value the second prince no matter what. "Zhi Qi said, think about it, it's really not a taste in my heart, most people are praising the three princes now, but in fact?
She didn't dare to say it, and she couldn't say that her father and mother were still in the hands of the third prince, but she didn't dare to tell outsiders that there was a sudden accident at home, and she didn't dare to go to the government to report the case, because every step she took would implicate her father's life and death.
At the beginning, when she saw that the person she had always thought was the best suddenly appeared in front of her with another appearance, not to mention how shocked she was!
Now, she can only pin her trust on the second prince in private, hoping that the second prince can help her get rid of the control of the third prince, but after so long, there is still no news of her father.
"I don't care if my father values it, I just want to live a down-to-earth life." Simon Trace Road.
Living a down-to-earth life sounds like a very low requirement, but it's actually how difficult it is. Zhiqi has a deep understanding of this, why doesn't she want to live a more down-to-earth life, and she doesn't have to be afraid.
"Second prince, in fact, up to now, the third prince has only asked me to do one thing, to help a thief go to the backyard of King Xuan's mansion, and a dagger was stolen from the room where Princess Xuan lived before, it seems that Princess Xuan hid it." Zhiqi thought about it for a while, and finally decided to tell Ximen Zhen what she had done.
This is the first time that Zhiqi has pointed out the person of the three princes in front of Ximen Zhen.
The second prince treated her like this, she shouldn't hide it.
The second prince protects her like this, even if he knows what she has done and does something based on these things, he will not reveal the secret about her, and let her encounter something bad in front of Ximenyin.
"That dagger was handed over to a man in his thirties on the day I was trapped in the ** hall." Zhiqi continued, "** Hall should be the place of the three princes. ”
**Tang is Ximen Yin's stronghold outside the palace, which Ximen Zhen guessed, but the matter of the dagger is a little strange, before, he also heard that something was lost in King Xuan's mansion, but he didn't expect it to be just a dagger.
How could Ximen Yin be interested in Lin Xin'er's dagger?
However, Ximen didn't ask, the matter should be said voluntarily by Zhiqi, or Zhiqi didn't know, she was just doing things as ordered.
"Zhiqi, you trust me so much?" Simon asked, "You must know that it is dangerous to be in a situation like yours. ”
"Zhiqi believes in the second prince, and please believe in Zhiqi, no matter how Zhiqi is forced, in the end he is still loyal to the second prince, if it wasn't for the second prince to save him, Zhiqi would have died a long time ago, Zhiqi's life is the second prince's, but Zhiqi is very afraid of death and is reluctant to give up this life." Zhi Qi Dao.
"You're honest." Ximen Zhen smiled lightly, "It's up to you to decide, I won't force you, it was just a convenient move to save you at the beginning, after all, the traitorous party in the palace is messy, and I also want to escape, it's just Dora who took you with me, you don't have to care, not to mention that you have already helped me." ”
"What Zhiqi did is far from what the second prince did, and Zhiqi still has to rely on the second prince to help find his father." Zhi Qi Dao.
"Actually, you can confess to Uncle Huang, and with Uncle Huang's strength, it should be easier to find someone." Simon Trace Road.
"No way!" Zhiqi hurriedly shook his head, "You can't alarm King Xuan, let King Xuan know about the three princes, and he will definitely start to deal with the three princes, the three princes have been planning for so many years, and they are already ready to deal with it at any time, if the three princes escape, my father and mother will die!" His identity was revealed so quickly, and he must have known that I had leaked the secret. ”
"You're not afraid that I'll alarm the Third Prince?" Ximen Zhen asked, at this time, he didn't have to be vague with Zhiqi.
Zhiqi shook his head, "The second prince is different from King Xuan, the second prince will hide himself when he does things, you and the third prince are acting in secret, and the third prince doesn't know our dealings, from the second prince, he won't think it's mine." And,"
Zhiqi raised his head slightly, looked at Ximen Mark, and his eyes were keen, "The second prince will be very careful with Zhiqi, and King Xuan will not care about Zhiqi." ”
"Forget it, you've talked about it, I'll go find your father." Simon turned around, pressed his hands on the windowsill, looked outside and said, "Who let us have a secret affair!" ”
"Second Prince Xie." Zhiqi was deeply blessed.
"You go first." Simon waved his hand, "Remember what I said, you must have a bottom in doing things, otherwise, ...... You'll see what's next. ”
Zhiqi didn't quite understand Simon Mark's words, but she would listen to what he said.
Nodding, Zhiqi suddenly thought of one more thing, and said to Ximen before leaving, "I remember, that dagger is a bit special, the handle is meniscus-shaped, which is different from ordinary daggers." ”
Simon's body in front of the window didn't move, but he chuckled in his heart.
Isn't the crescent-shaped dagger the pair that the emperor gave to his father and uncle Xuanwang respectively? Two crescent moons can be combined into a full moon, hoping that the eldest son and the youngest son will love each other without age barriers.
The emperor was most worried that there would be friction between the two brothers, who were twenty years apart, so he gave a pair of daggers as a warning, but he did not expect that it was his other three sons who had a huge dispute, but the two eldest and younger brothers walked together against all odds.
