Chapter 413: Chess Pieces
While Qin Nan was still sighing, Su Shi was wandering outside the world, because something he couldn't figure out before seemed to be gradually gaining an eyebrow.
"I want to ask my uncle for something."
The mystery of Zhong Lingyao's life experience has been hidden in Qin Zhidao's heart for ten years, and now that he has finally told it, his heart is relaxed, and he suddenly heard that Su Shi had something to ask him, he was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "If the virtuous nephew has something, just say it." ”
Su Shi said slowly: "I want to ask my uncle to investigate what is the relationship between Zhou Lin, the king of Chu, and Zhong Lichuan. ”
Qin Zhidao was taken aback when he heard this: "What relationship can there be between them?" ”
In his opinion, the king of Chu was a nobleman, and Zhong Lichuan was just an inconspicuous eunuch in the palace at that time, and he had never served the king of Chu, how could there be a relationship between them.
However, Qin Nan knew that Su Shi must have his reason for saying this, so he frowned slightly and thought about it carefully.
Su Shi sighed: "How did Zhong Lichuan know that Zhou Yao had a birthmark on his body? And after many years, he could recognize Ling Yao as Zhou Yao at a glance through the birthmark. If they don't have anything to do with each other, it doesn't make sense. ”
Qin Zhidao didn't speak, obviously he couldn't answer Su Shi's question, but he still looked at him with strange eyes: "It has been more than ten years since the death of Zhou Lin and Zhong Lichuan, the king of Chu, not to mention that the king of Chu is still a sinner, even if he wants to investigate, he is afraid that no one may dare to speak, so if he wants to find out the relationship between them, he is afraid that it will be difficult to go to the sky." ”
Then he asked suspiciously, "Why is the virtuous nephew so interested in the relationship between them?" ”
"Because it's important to me."
Su Shi not only confused Qin Zhidao, but even Qin Nan couldn't understand it at all.
Qin Nan was about to speak, Su Shi shook his head slightly, Qin Nan knew what he meant, and immediately kept silent.
Qin Zhidao was even more puzzled at this time: "Why is this matter so important to the virtuous nephew?" ”
"It's not that I won't say." Su Shi's face was bitter, "It's just that this matter can't be determined, and I don't dare to speculate." After all, the implications are too broad and complex. When everything is clear, I will definitely tell my uncle everything, and I will say everything. ”
Qin Zhidao couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart when he saw Su Shi's insistence and refusal to speak, but Su Shi's attitude was quite sincere, so he had to give up and stop asking.
Seeing that the time had passed, Qin Zhidao still had other things, so he got up and said goodbye to Su Shi, when he looked at Qin Nan, Su Shi hurriedly said on the side: "Please Miss Qin stay, I still have important things to discuss with you." ”
Hearing that Su Shi blatantly wanted to keep her in front of his father, Qin Nan's face was not as thick as Su Shi's, and his face was slightly red, but his feet were as if he was nailed, and he couldn't move half a minute.
Qin Zhidao didn't care, nodded to Su Shi, turned around and left the study.
After Qin Zhidao left, Qin Nan glanced at Su Shi deeply: "Why do you want to be so sneaky when you have something to say in front of my father?" ”
"I have no intention of hiding it from my uncle." Su Shi's face suddenly became extremely solemn, "But this matter is indeed too important to me, and it will even affect my plans." So the less people know about it until it is clear, the better. ”
"In that case, what are you leaving me behind?"
Su Shi smiled: "Because you are different from others, and if you have a little more knowledge, you may be smarter than me." That's why I want you to hear my speculation and see if there's a loophole. ”
Hearing that Su Shi was really admiring himself, the little dissatisfaction in Qin Nan's heart didn't know where to throw it away.
She blushed and asked, "What did you think of again?" ”
Su Shi sighed softly: "I suspect that Pei Hyun is misleading me. ”
Qin Nan also understood that Zhong Lingyao's matter was not as simple as he imagined, but he never imagined that it would be related to Pei Xun.
Su Shi closed his eyes and was connecting everything in his brain. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said slowly: "Regarding Zhong Lingyao's matter, there are obviously many suspicious things. ”
Qin Nan immediately said: "How can an infant baby escape the scourge of killing? ”
Su Shi shook his head: "Since Pei Hyun was secretly assisting Zhou Lin at that time, with his ability, there is absolutely no problem if he wants to save a baby." ”
Qin Nan looked at him suddenly, unable to believe his reasoning: "Do you mean that Zhou Yao was saved by Pei?" ”
Then she kept shaking her head: "Impossible, if it was saved by Pei Hyun, how could she be abducted?" ”
Su Shi echoed: "Yes, how could Zhong Lingyao be abducted. ”
Looking at Su Shi's strange expression, Qin Nan suddenly woke up: "Could it be that Sister Zhong's appearance in front of Zhong Lichuan is also Pei Hyun's plan?" ”
"At least I wouldn't believe that such a coincidence happened." Su Shi pondered, "When Pei Xun knew that Zhong Lichuan had become the prince's close attendant, he began to plan for Zhong Lingyao to appear in front of him, so that Zhong Lichuan could naturally adopt Zhong Yao. ”
"Why did Bae Hyun do this?"
"Because Zhong Lichuan is also part of his plan, and it is also the most critical link." Speaking of this, Su Shi finally couldn't help but sigh, "I have to admire Pei Hyun, because maybe Zhong Lichuan didn't know that he was in Pei Hyun's urn until he died." ”
Qin Nan couldn't help but sigh: "But I admire you very much." ”
Su Shi was stunned: "What do you admire about me?" ”
"You can talk about anything mysteriously, but there is always no beginning and no end, can you explain this matter in detail from beginning to end?"
"I also want to explain the whole thing clearly, but the process is too complicated, and it is really difficult to explain it in a few words."
Qin Nan immediately made tea for him and said with a smile: "What I have is time." ”
Su Shi thought for a while and said, "I speculate that Zhou Lin, the king of Chu, is kind to Zhong Lichuan, and it is that kind of great kindness. ”
Qin Nan said: "Why do you have such an inference? ”
"If this inference is true, a few things that I have been unable to figure out before can be explained."
Qin Nan didn't speak, he was listening quietly.
"The king of Chu was imprisoned after the defeat of the palace, and finally died in prison, and the palace was destroyed. At that time, Pei Hyun was far away in Hudi and couldn't help, so he could only save Zhou Yao, who was still in infancy. ”
"I believe that when he rescued Zhou Yao at that time, Pei Xun didn't think about using her, but when he learned that Zhong Lichuan had become the prince's close attendant, he suddenly found that Zhou Yao was a very useful chess piece."
Qin Nan thought thoughtfully: "So Zhou Yao appeared in front of Zhong Lichuan." ”
Su Shi nodded: "Pei Xun knows that Zhou Lin is kind to Zhong Lichuan, as long as he recognizes Ling Yao as Zhou Yao." She will never be allowed to wander into the land of fireworks, and she will definitely be left by her side. ”
"Why does Pei Hyun have to let Zhou Yao stay by Zhong Lichuan's side?"
