Chapter 103: Mistakes
"Even the assassins have seen it, and the gentleman is really thoughtful." Rong Wei's eyebrows frowned slightly, and the sharp color in his eyes gradually faded, and a cloud of doubt floated.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, revealing a thoughtful look, "As Mr. said, this palace only allowed him to assassinate, not poison him, but at the banquet, this assassin made a ruthless move, obviously wanting to take the life of the seventh child." Bengong was already alert at the time, so he besieged it and wanted to capture it to see who was behind it, but he didn't expect that in the end, she was allowed to escape. Afterwards, the palace sent people to search everywhere, but still found nothing. ”
Xia Heng's eyebrows condensed slightly, his eyes became a little deep, he thought for a moment, and said: "Xia Mou checked the Emei thorn afterwards, and it was indeed smeared with poison, but there was one thing that made Xia feel very strange. As usual, whether it is a weapon or a hidden weapon, if you want to smear the poison, it should also be smeared on the blade, but the location of this Emei thorn is on the thorn. ”
Hearing this, Rong Wei's eyes shrank slightly, and a fleeting cold light crossed the bottom of his eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. is saying that this Emei thorn was originally non-toxic, but it was later smeared with poison?" ”
Xia Heng nodded.
Rong Wei's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help frowning, and said in confusion: "According to Mr. Ruo's words, it was Lao Qi who used this assassin to poison himself?" So why did he do it, and what was the point? ”
Rong Wei looked at him suspiciously, his eyes flickered, as if he was secretly thinking about something, and his tightly knit brows looked suspicious.
Xia Heng glanced at him with a slight hesitation, and slowly shook his head, "Xia is just a glimpse of the leopard, and he speculates a thing or two." He sighed slightly, his expression was slightly solemn, and there was a faint trace of melancholy between his eyebrows, and asked, "Isn't His Highness ever suspected that Huai Wang Yun was hiding pearls and wanted to reap the benefits?" ”
Hearing this, Rong Wei's frowning eyebrows gradually soothed, and he couldn't help but raise his lips and smile, but there was a hint of irony under the smile, "Bengong originally thought that Mr. Wang's suspicions should be justified, but now it seems that it is just speculation." ”
He glanced at Xia Heng condescendingly, his eyes showed a sense of arrogance, and he said quietly: "If Lao Qi just doesn't want to wade into this troubled water, why don't you turn down the invitation and not go to today's banquet?" Over the years, he has not asked about the world, let alone participated in the infighting, if he is in Taoguang and wants to reap the profits, then in this situation, shouldn't he watch the fire from the other side and wait for the opportunity, but why did he risk his life, and poisoned himself in front of everyone, dragging himself into the water. If he wants to bring down the palace, why don't he directly take refuge in the fourth or eighth child, with his back against these two big trees, wouldn't it be more reasonable for him who has no power and no power? If he wants to be in his own vein, it will be easier. The Feng family is now powerful, and the daughter of the Feng family has a soft spot for him, as long as he marries the daughter of the Feng family, the Feng family will become his backer, isn't this more feasible than designing the palace? Now that he has done nothing, he is just going to the banquet as promised, how do you make this palace believe that he did it? Since this poison is so rare and the antidote is even more difficult to find, why would he gamble his life to give himself this poison? Mr. sent someone to listen all the way, but did he find any clues? ”
Facing Rong Huan's series of interrogations, Xia Heng's eyebrows furrowed, and a strange feeling secretly arose in his heart. I don't know if the prince is too confident, or he is too contemptuous of King Huai, whenever he mentions King Huai to the prince, the prince always looks disdainful, which makes him feel a little uneasy in his heart.
The melancholy on Xia Heng's face became more and more intense, like a layer of dense fog that could not be dissolved, shrouded between his eyebrows. He stared and thought for a moment before explaining to him: "The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the nest of an ant, and Xia did this just to prevent trouble. ”
Rong Wei raised his eyebrows slightly, a subtle color flashed in his eyes, and he immediately smiled and said: "What Mr. said is extremely true, some people and some things should indeed be prevented. ”
Rong Huan's words seemed to agree, but Xia Heng heard a hint of clue from them, his heart was a little tight, and he stared at Rong Huan, but saw him looking back at himself calmly, looking like he was too worried.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Rong Hao with a solemn expression, with a hint of worry in his eyes, and reminded: "Even if this matter is not done by King Huai, Xia still feels that this King Huai is by no means as light and dust as he seems. Taoguang chases the servals, including the chapter is not yao. King Huai is not shining brightly, but I am afraid that the still water is deep. ”
Rong Wei hooked his lips and sneered, his expression was arrogant, his face showed a little contempt, and he slowly spoke: "It's okay, those who want to hate each other, those who worry about each other, at least for now, our goal is the same." Besides-" He suddenly sneered, a cruel look suddenly flashed under his gloomy eyes, and even his voice became cold, "If it weren't for the imperial doctor who happened to pass by, I'm afraid Lao Qi would have died in the ice lake a long time ago, and this palace could push him down once, and now he can push him down a second time, and this time, this palace doesn't believe that he is still so lucky, and someone will come to save him." ”
Xia Heng was stunned when he heard this, his heart suddenly brightened, and the melancholy between his eyebrows seemed to have been dispersed with the wind and snow outside the hall, revealing a long-lost smile, "Xia Mou thought that His Royal Highness was unsuspecting of King Huai, so he was worried and beware of him for His Highness, if he had known that His Highness had such a plan, Xia would have nothing to worry about." However, if King Huai's poison was not caused by himself, then it could only be King An and King Ning. ”
Rong Huan's expression was slightly condensed, and he asked with some surprise: "Are you saying that they saw through the plan of the main palace, and secretly changed the assassin who was arranged in advance, and wanted to plan and assassinate Lao Qi, so as to blame the palace?" ”
"Not really." Xia Heng shook his head, his gaze gradually became far-reaching, as if he was in deep thought, and muttered: "If they have insight into His Highness's plan in advance, how can they let His Highness's plan go smoothly, and how can they make the Emperor suspicious of them, and let you successfully win over King Huai and make another enemy for yourself?" This is undoubtedly putting yourself in a dangerous place. ”
At this time, the contemplative color in Xia Heng's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a ray of insight and wisdom, he took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and continued to say: "Xia guessed that King An and King Ning knew that His Royal Highness's banquet of officials was intended to be enveloped, so they hired killers to infiltrate the mansion and wanted to disguise themselves as dancing girls to assassinate these officials, intending to disrupt this banquet. If this matter is completed, I am afraid that in the future, no official in the DPRK and China will dare to go to His Highness's invitation, and he will only stay away from His Highness; If the assassination fails or the killer is captured, they don't have to worry about implicating themselves, after all, these hired killers have always only seen the person who handed over and don't know the identity of the employer, which is why many people are willing to pay a lot of money to hire the killer. Perhaps for the sake of convenience, the killer also deliberately chose a solo dancing girl and replaced it, wanting to choose a random official to assassinate at the banquet, but he didn't know that the dancing girl was the assassin arranged by His Royal Highness to assassinate King Huai, so he assassinated King Huai by mistake. ”
