As he spoke, he walked towards Hua Zhen.

With a shallow smile on her face, it fell in Hua Zhen's eyes, but it made her feel a trace of annoyance.

"This house is yours?"

Looking at the smile in Xiao Huaijin's eyes, Hua Zhen only felt that she was being toyed with.

"She is worthy of the woman I fancied, and she is so smart. Yes, this house was originally my foothold in Beijing, and it was originally kept for spare. ”

"Why, then, did you sell this house to me? Hua Zhen said and stared at Xiao Huaijin's eyes, although they are forming an alliance at the moment, they are just using each other to take what they need.

But Xiao Huaijin's approach made her feel like she was under the control of others, which really made people unhappy.

Xiao Huaijin saw Hua Zhen's displeasure, but smiled: "I just want to see the county lord in the future, it will be more convenient, not so troublesome, and there is nothing else to think about, please don't mind the county lord." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen looked at Xiao Huaijin's eyes, remembered Zhaoyang's shy and timid appearance, and took a step back: "If Xiao Shizi really has something to do with me, just let the guards around him pass the word, if such a lonely man and widow let others know, I am afraid that it will have a bad impact on Shizi." This door is still sealed. ”

As she spoke, glancing at the half-hidden corner door, Hua Zhen walked towards the gazebo.

Refreshments had already been placed on the gazebo, which should have been prepared by Xiao Huaijin.

Jiaoyue followed aside and looked at Hua Zhen's face, knowing that her county lord was really angry, and she didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere.

Just looked at Xiao Huaijin's eyes, a little more annoyed, every time this person appeared, he would definitely annoy the county lord, and it was no wonder that Jiaoyue hated him.

Xiao Huaijin looked at the disgust in Jiaoyue's eyes, but she didn't mind, she just walked over with a smile and saw Hua Zhen sitting down in the pavilion, and she sat down on the stone bench on the side.

Then he lifted the teapot that was warmed by the fire, poured a cup for Hua Zhen with his own hands, and put it in front of her, then said with a smile: "I didn't come today to annoy you, I have three things to tell you, you wait for me to finish speaking, and it's not too late to be angry." ”

The words are full of seduction.

Immediately, Hua Zhen was stunned, looked back at Xiao Huaijin, and saw that he was already full of smiles: "Let's drink a cup of tea first to dissipate our anger." ”

Seeing Xiao Huaijin like this, Hua Zhen was completely stunned, and she only felt that Xiao Huaijin's behavior was really a bit abnormal.

When he reacted, Xiao Huaijin had already stuffed his hand into the teacup.

Looking at the teacup in her hand for a while, Hua Zhen reacted, Xiao Huaijin just held his hand, which can be regarded as a skin-to-skin kiss, and suddenly his heart trembled violently, and then he forced himself to calm down but didn't dare to look at Xiao Huaijin's eyes, just asked: "What's the matter." ”

"This first thing is naturally the prince's business. Xiao Huaijin said, poured himself a cup of tea, and then took a sip before continuing.

"You already knew about Zhang Ying, and you told the prince about it, so I won't say much. It's just that what happened above the court, presumably neither the Queen Mother nor Qin Guifei would tell you the truth, so the first thing I did was to tell you the current situation. ”

Xiao Huaijin paused as he spoke, and then looked at Hua Zhen: "The day before yesterday, King Qi gave the master and servant of the Su family to Li Yu, Li Yu participated in Zhang Ying in the early dynasty, and the emperor was furious and put Zhang Ying in the prison of the Criminal Department, so that Li Yu must investigate this matter thoroughly." and also grounded the prince in the prince's mansion, and King Qi was responsible for assisting Li Yu to investigate the matter. ”

Xiao Huaijin looked at Hua Zhen as she spoke, and saw Hua Zhen's brows furrowed, and her face suddenly turned a little colder.

"The emperor asked King Qi to be in charge of this matter?"

"Yes. ”

Suddenly, Hua Zhen's eyes were complicated, and her mind was also a mess.

When Zhao Ting asked Shen Yuxin to find Shen Chongmao, he wanted Shen Chongmao to come forward to expose this matter, which means that Zhao Ting did not intend to get involved in this matter.

is to watch the prince fall into the water, so that he can protect himself and not arouse the emperor's suspicion.

Although the death of the eldest lady later disrupted Zhao Ting's plan.

According to Hua Zhen's calculations, Zhao Ting should also send someone else to come forward in this matter.

And according to Zhao Ting's temperament, if someone goes to the court to participate in the prince, he should help to intercede, so that he can confirm that this matter has nothing to do with him.

should not meddle in this matter, if he intervenes in this matter, it will be found out that the mastermind behind it is the prince.

Even if this matter is really committed by the prince, some people will say that the prince was wronged and deliberately framed by King Qi.

When the time comes, it is easy to be caught up in a basin of sewage and get into trouble.

Zhao Ting is such a smart person, he knows what will happen later, according to his temperament, even if the emperor accepts his orders, he should shirk, which is not his style at all.

Seeing Hua Zhen's frowns, Xiao Huaijin laughed: "Why don't you taste it, I got this tea from Xiangxi, and it is a rare and good tea." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen looked at the smile in Xiao Huaijin's eyes, and suddenly a thought flashed in her heart.

"There are still your people in the court?"

Xiao Huaijin smiled even more mysteriously when she heard this.

"You deliberately pulled King Qi into the water. ”

Looking at Hua Zhen's question, Xiao Huaijin nodded with a smile: "You guessed right, Li Yu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, received the favor of my father, although he is in the court, his heart is in Yanbei." As for the master and servant of the Su family, Zhao Ting originally wanted people to go to Suzhou and then report the matter to the emperor. I think it's really a bit troublesome like this, and I just want to pull the prince into the water, so I simply stole the master and servant of the Su family and handed them over to Li Yu directly. Li Yu personally went to the court to participate in Zhang Ying, and then asked the people of Yushitai to say that this matter was probably related to the prince. This imperial history is Zhao Ting's father-in-law, and the emperor saw that Cheng directly participated in the prince's role in the imperial history, so he paid attention to King Qi, so he asked King Qi to investigate the matter thoroughly. ”

"The emperor wants to borrow the hand of King Qi to protect the prince. Hua Zhen immediately understood what Xiao Huaijin meant.

If the emperor asked Zhao Ting to investigate the matter thoroughly because of Liu Zhongyuan in the imperial history, it would be because he wanted to sacrifice Zhao Ting to protect the prince. Maybe the emperor wants to get rid of the Ning family with the prince's affairs right now, but he doesn't plan to abolish the prince, thinking of this, Hua Zhen's heart is even more firm, the death of his father and Empress Renxiao is by no means a simple matter.

The emperor got rid of the Hua family and the Ning family for only one purpose, that is, to eradicate the relatives who might affect the imperial power in the future for the crown prince.

So now that King Qi is involved, he wants to follow the prince's hand to get rid of the Ning family, and push everything on King Qi, so as to keep the prince.

Xiao Huaijin looked at Hua Zhen's face and knew that she was afraid that she had already thought of it. Seeing that she only mentioned two sentences, Hua Zhen instantly understood, Xiao Huaijin was very satisfied, and the smile on her face was even worse.

Hua Zhen's expression changed, and she looked at Xiao Huaijin: "Liu Zhongyuan is also your person?"

Hearing this, Xiao Huaijin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Not really." ”

"Although I have installed a lot of people in Beijing, I don't have the ability to buy all the important ministers in the court and the central government one by one. ”

"Then how could he participate in the crown prince in the early dynasty and involve King Qi, he is also an old minister in the court, he will not know, the farther away King Qi is from this matter, the better, if King Qi is involved, it will inevitably make the emperor suspicious and unfavorable to King Qi. It's really incomprehensible that he's doing that. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Huaijin looked at the teacup in Hua Zhen's hand: "You drink it first, and I'll tell you." ”

Hua Zhen was stunned when she heard this, but she didn't expect that at this time, Xiao Huaijin still had the heart to tease her.

Looking at the teacup in his hand, the tea that Xiao Huaijin poured just now was already cold.

Knowing that if he didn't follow him at the moment, he was afraid that Xiao Huaijin would not speak, so he could only drink the tea in the cup.

As soon as he finished drinking, Xiao Huaijin suddenly smiled and lifted the teapot: "That's right, this is the Tianjian tea that I found from Anhua Kuaima, and it was an offering to the emperor in the past, and ordinary people couldn't drink it at all." I heard that the palace maid who served you in Changning Palace said that you used to live in the palace, and your favorite is this Tianjian tea, so I specially ordered someone to find some to come over, how about the taste you like. ”

said that he had a very good face, and he looked like he was waiting for a reward for doing good deeds.

Suddenly, Hua Zhen was very puzzled, how could this Xiao Huaijin become like this, not at all the appearance that he had just met.

It seems that from this meeting, his face was more flattering.

even inquired about her preferences and sent someone to find her, so painstakingly pleasing that she couldn't help but wonder in her heart.

As if seeing the doubts in Hua Zhen's heart, Xiao Huaijin put down the teapot with a smile: "I told you, since I like you, I want to treat you wholeheartedly, and you don't need to doubt that I am from the bottom of my heart." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen didn't answer, but just asked: "Why did Liu Zhongyuan fall into the well and involve King Qi." ”

Seeing that Hua Zhen avoided her words, Xiao Huaijin was not annoyed, but said with a smile: "This Liu Zhongyuan has three daughters, two concubines and one concubine. This Concubine Liu of the Qi Palace's Mansion is the second daughter of Liu Zhongyuan's concubine, although Liu Zhongyuan also loves this second daughter on weekdays, but she is a concubine after all, and she is just paving the way for the eldest daughter. ”

"Who did Liu Zhongyuan's eldest daughter marry?" Hua Zhen was stunned when she heard this.

In her previous life, she hadn't paid attention to these, and she didn't know whose mansion Liu Zhongyuan's eldest daughter had married into.

"King Song. ”

"The Sixth Prince, King Song?"

"Yes, although this family affair has not yet been put on the surface, it has been said in private, Liu Zhongyuan's eldest daughter will only wait for this year's draft to enter the palace, and she will be pointed out to King Song, Concubine Duan has already begged the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother has also agreed. Xiao Huaijin said, looking at Hua Zhen's eyes full of smiles.

Hua Zhen frowned slightly: "What is the identity of the daughter of the Liu family when she enters the Song Palace?"

"Since she is the princess of Song, of course the queen mother's grace will not be the side concubine, besides, she has passed the draft. ”

"So you deliberately asked Li Yu to reveal this matter to Liu Zhongyuan, that is, with Liu Zhongyuan's hand, Zhao Ting was also pulled into the water. Hua Zhen thought for a moment and looked at Xiao Huaijin.

looked at the smile on Xiao Huaijin's face even more: "This Zhao Ting married two side concubines, but he relied more on the Shen family, so that Concubine Liu was oppressed by Shen Yuxin everywhere in the Qi Palace. This Concubine Liu was bullied, Liu Zhongyuan was naturally angry in his heart, compared to the Shen family, he understood that even if he helped Zhao Ting everywhere, he would not necessarily be reused by Zhao Ting in the future. Therefore, it is better to retreat and turn to the King of Song, the current King of Song is weak, and Liu Zhongyuan's defection to the King of Song is the biggest reliance of the King of Song. A King of Qi who doesn't put himself in his eyes, and a King of Song who will be at his mercy, Liu Zhongyuan is not stupid, he knows how to choose. Since he has decided to help King Song, the most important thing at the moment is, of course, to remove all obstacles for King Song. ”

Xiao Huaijin said, with a little calculation in his eyes: "I just can't get used to it, Zhao Ting and Shen Yuxin bullied you, so I thought about taking this opportunity to clean him up by the way, so that I can vent my anger for you." ”

Listening to Xiao Huaijin's words, Hua Zhen was still thinking about Xiao Huaijin's intention to do this, but she didn't expect that Xiao Huaijin was actually trying to vent her anger, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

After a long time, he spoke: "You don't have to do this. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Huaijin had an undoubted look on his face: "That's because you don't think it's necessary, but I think it's necessary as long as it's related to you." ”

Saying that, Hua Zhen's eyes were no longer playful, but slowly sincere: "In our Yanbei, if you really like a woman, you have to protect her, you can't let her be bullied at all, since I have already told you that I like you, I want to protect you." If others provoke you, I will seek justice for you. ”

"Xiao Shizi..." suddenly made Hua Zhen stunned, looked at Xiao Huaijin, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Thinking of Zhaoyang's appearance in his heart, he felt even more embarrassed.

She doesn't need Xiao Huaijin like this, and she doesn't want to let Zhaoyang be separated from herself because of Xiao Huaijin.

It's just that he is looking at Xiao Huaijin now, but he doesn't know how to speak.

Seeing this, the corners of Xiao Huaijin's mouth raised slightly: "Why don't you feel grateful in your heart, if so, there is no need to say those grateful words, if you really want to thank me, then you will answer me, how about being the princess of Yanbei?"
