Chapter 159: A dilemma
"Li Huwei really understands the sentence 'the bell must be tied to the bell'." Ximen Hao smiled lightly.
Wushan's disappearance was originally operated by Ximen Yi. It would be most appropriate for him to return Ushan. For this. Li Bing saw it very clearly. But there is no evidence. He couldn't say it explicitly. It can only be said as a proposal.
And such an arrangement Su Luocheng and Ximen Yi would not propose. If Ximen Hao proposes it, it will make Ximen Xianchu feel that he has other intentions. It would be more appropriate for Li Bing, the emperor's close guard, to say it.
"Lord Wang. The princess of the North is not in your hands. Li Bing asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Ximen Hao didn't hide it.
"Someone asked the lowly to save the princess. Humble self-esteem is limited. Please also ask the prince's subordinates to be merciful. It will not hand over a dead body to the emperor. Li Bingdao.
"Who wants to go through the path of Guard Li." Ximen Hao asked with interest. The shadow of the mysterious man in black swept through his mind. I don't feel it sink in my heart.
Li Bing paused slightly. There was a hint of hesitation on the carved face of the wood. But it was decided to answer. "It's the late princess."
"It's her." Ximen Hao was relieved. "Their relationship is really not ordinarily good."
At the same time as the words are spoken. Ximen Hao thought of Ximen Zhe. Even he didn't notice it. There was a slight sourness in the words.
Li Bing's eyebrows twitched mechanically a few times. looked at Ximen Hao with a different eye. He always felt that the tone of this Northern King was a little different from usual. Just like when he saw Simon late. It's going to be a little uncomfortable.
After Ximen Yi and Su Luocheng received the emperor's will to find Wushan. Didn't leave the palace. Instead, he went to Yunxiao Yuan to discuss countermeasures with Concubine Shu.
"I didn't expect that. This Li Bing's words work so well. A faint cloud hung on Concubine Shu's bewitching face.
"It's not Li Bing's words that work. But the emperor has already made up his mind in his heart. "Suluo City Road." The emperor has used a killer trick. The two princes are princes. I will definitely not be ruthless. Everything has to be borne by Wechen. ”
"I can't even control my own daughter. is also called aggrieved in front of the main palace. Concubine Shu sneered. If it weren't for Su Dyeing's paintings, there would have been wild seeds first. Even if she took the ring in advance. No, the situation has been reversed. Did it go to Ximen Hao's head? How can there be a chance for Ximen Hao to turn the situation back. It's a mess now. ”
Su Luocheng hung his head and was silent. He never thought that Ximen Hao had such a big handle. You can give him a fatal blow at any time.
"Mother. What to do next. Ximen Yi didn't have an idea for a while. The emperor asked him to find Wushan. But Ushan has long since disappeared from this world. He can't hand it over even if he dies.
"Panic what." Concubine Shu glanced at Suluo City. "I can't hand over anyone. The emperor severely punished the Prime Minister's Mansion. He's really going to take a knife on you princes. Remove you from heavy fines. Leave it to outsiders to steal the fun. ”
"Lady Lady. The Prime Minister's Mansion wholeheartedly supported the King of the South. This time. You can't ignore the minister. Su Luocheng looked sincerely frightened. Bow to the concubine.
He was really wronged by this. It's just trying to force Ximen Hao to marry Su Ranhua. The rest of the layout hasn't started yet. Wu Shan's affairs had nothing to do with him at all. Suddenly, he was swept into this troubled water. Now it's up to him to take the greatest responsibility for it. Betting on the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.
At this time. He even had the heart to eat Su Ran's paintings.
"Things are all confused by Su Dye paintings. You don't figure it out yourself. What else do you want Hongu to do? Don't you want this palace to tell the emperor that Wushan was killed by you? Even so. You'll have to hand over Ushan's body, too. Concubine Shu snorted disdainfully.
If there is a corpse. It's okay. But this ruthless mother and son have left Wushan's bones gone. Su Luocheng didn't have the energy to explore the means to kill Wushan. What he had to think about was how to give Simon an explanation.
At this time, if he revealed that it was Ximen Yi who killed Wushan. There is no evidence. And Ximen Yi again identified Wushan as the one he killed. The Prime Minister's Mansion and the South Wangfu turned against each other. There is no support for the prince. Su Luo City knows. This is even more detrimental to one's actions in the future.
So. He has set his back on this black cauldron.
"Weichen, let's go back and find a way." Su Luo Cheng hid all his anger. Ask Concubine Shu and Ximen Yi to resign. "Wechen retired."
"Mother. At this time, we should not cooperate with the Prime Minister. Let's go through the difficult times together. It doesn't seem good to ignore Suluo City. ”
After Su Luo City leaves. Simon asked, puzzled. Any friction between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Southern Prince's Mansion. Only the North Wangfu is profitable.
"Don't worry. He won't do anything bad to you at this time. This cunning thing understands very well. Concubine Shu chuckled. Sit back on the couch. "Hongu believes in his abilities. He has the means to save himself. Saved his prime minister's house. That is, to save the Nanwang Mansion. It's just that.. ”
"Just what." Ximen Yi looked at Concubine Shu's gloomy expression. Incomprehensible questioning.
"In fact, we are in a dilemma at this time." Shufei said. "I can't hand over Wushan. In addition, Su Ranhua's scheming to deceive the monarch into marrying into the Northern Palace. For this 'conspiracy' orchestrated by Ximen Hao. The emperor will not give up; But even if Su Luocheng gave the emperor an explanation. The emperor still won't let go of his previous suspicions about us. I just thought it was like we were trying to end the matter. Let's just stop it for now. ”
"No matter what. The Southern Palace's Mansion will be inferior in the eyes of his father. Ximen Yi understood Concubine Shu's words.
Concubine Shu nodded. His eyes swept to Ximen Yi. Across a fierce slash. "What a plan. It was a mess. The palace went to hope that Ximen Hao finally handed back the corpse painted by Su Ran. ”
Ximen Yi was silent. Sending someone to kill Su Ran painted him really couldn't bear it. But in order to get out of the good deeds. He had to follow Su Luocheng's plan and Concubine Shu's instructions to do it. Maybe after that life is over. He will gradually forget.
But. Even such a ruthless trick as blowing up the dungeon was used. didn't even let Su Ranhua die at the hands of the killer. If Su Dye painting does not die. The goal of "extinguishing the mouth" was not achieved. I want to contact Jiangnan Ximensheng. It's not that easy.
Things are a mess these days. Entangled in Simon Yi's mind. I never thought things would go so badly.
"Erchen will send someone to secretly search for the whereabouts of Su Ranhua. Extinguish the mouth in time. Ximen Yi understood what Concubine Shu meant. Only let Su Dye die at the hands of someone related to Jiangnan as expected. Push to Simonsheng. in order to slowly lift the emperor's vigilance against him. Eliminate the influence of the Ushan incident.
"What this palace is worried about is whether it will be Ximen Sheng's people who rescued Su Ran's paintings." Concubine Shu said with some worry. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. With a bit of euphoria. "But that's fine. Break into the door yourself. It's not like we're deliberately trying to implicate him. ”
