Xiao Ping saw that Rong Yunxiao, who was still frowning a moment ago and sighing for a long time, suddenly had a bright color in his eyes at this time, and couldn't help but wonder: "So, His Royal Highness the Dust King wants to attack King Yi who is far away at the border?"

But His Royal Highness the Dust King is not such a ruthless person, otherwise he would not have been busy protecting himself before, and rarely took the initiative to calculate others.

Could it be that His Royal Highness the Dust King has finally let go of his brotherhood and is going to strike first? Xiao Ping secretly thought in his heart, not knowing whether to be happy or worried.

Happily, His Royal Highness the Dust King is finally no longer restrained, and there is no need to worry that he may die at the hands of other princes because of his kindness. The worry is that it is really the most ruthless emperor, that Rong Yunxiao, who was once simple-minded, was finally forced by reality to become what he is now, and maybe he will become an unpredictable and ruthless emperor in the future.

"Xiao Ping, what are you talking about, the eldest brother is sitting at the border pass, and the soldiers of the Tianji Kingdom are fighting bloodily to defend the land of my Tianji Country and the people of my Tianji Country. How can I disregard my own land and my people for my own selfish gain?"

"However, I can't do such a thing, but it is possible for the unscrupulous Rong Leimo to do it. Rong Yunxiao frowned and said.

"But even if King Ming is ruthless and will do whatever it takes to compete for the position of prince, if he kills King Yi, the army will be in turmoil. If you can't resist and lose the border land, what good will it do to King Ming?" Xiao Ping asked puzzled. In the royal family, with the blood of the emperor's family, who would want to see their country being attacked by other countries?

"Do you think Rong Leimo would think like this? Although Rong Changfeng is not as ambitious as Rong Leimo and Rong Yueye, Rong Changfeng's maternal clan power is intertwined in the court, and if Rong Changfeng returns victoriously, it will be even more powerful. Will Rong Leimo be able to endure watching him make meritorious deeds, establish his prestige, and once sit big?"

"If I and Rong Yueye fight and lose both, Rong Lei Mo would have reaped the benefits of the fisherman, but if Rong Changfeng returns victorious, will he Rong Lei Mo be worried?"

"Losing one or two cities and letting Rong Changfeng sit on it for a long time, it is obvious how Rong Lei Mo will choose. Besides, if you die on the road to the throne, how can you talk about anything else? If you ascend the throne one day and sit on the throne, what is the difficulty of recovering the lost land?"

Rong Yunxiao asked questions again and again, and Xiao Ping was dumbfounded when he heard it. Although he was in the imperial city, he also knew that it was normal for the emperor to want to step on the blood on his feet, but when this bloody cruelty was put on the surface, and even at the cost of the country and the people of Li, Xiao Ping was still shocked.

Rong Yunxiao saw Xiao Ping's face shocked, stopped talking, and remained silent. After a moment of silence, he asked leisurely, "Do you think that people in the emperor's family are naturally ruthless in their bones?"

"Others Xiao Ping don't know, and they don't dare to say anything, but Xiao Ping knows that His Royal Highness is not. If His Royal Highness ascends the throne as the emperor, he must be a Ming monarch and a blessing to the people of Tianji Country. Xiao Ping said seriously.

Rong Yunxiao stopped talking, he paced twice and then sat back in his chair, in addition to what he and Xiao Ping said just now, he had other things on his mind.

He also listened to Xiao Ping's words before he suddenly thought of this. Did you think of these moonlit nights early in the morning?

Did Rong Yueye think early in the morning that in addition to the danger of being attacked by the enemy and being defeated and captured, there was also the possibility of being assassinated by the prince who stayed in the capital?

After all, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and the situation is ever-changing, so it is not uncommon for the prince to die on the battlefield. Even, using the battlefield to cause the death of the prince is less suspicious than doing it in the capital.

So Rong Yueye set up a banquet to assassinate herself before she set out on the expedition, did she not let herself go on the expedition and fell into such a dangerous situation? Is it because of this that she has to attack herself? That's why she is calm and calm on the sidelines, watching coldly?

That's why no matter how hard you ask, you don't explain? So the grief and sadness in Rong Yueye's eyes when he fell down from the knife were real?

Rong Yunxiao's mind was in a mess, was it really as he had guessed, or was it just his self-inflicted affection?

Rong Yunxiao's mind involuntarily appeared with the wound in Rong Yueye's heart, and he only felt extremely annoyed and bored.

"Xiao Ping, when night falls, let Ruthless change into a night suit to see me, and by the way, bring me a set of night clothes. Rong Yunxiao said suddenly.

"Where is Your Highness going? Xiao Ping asked with a worried face.

"Go to the Xuanwang Mansion, I'm afraid that the movement will be too big to attract Rong Leimo's attention, so I just take ruthlessness. Rong Yunxiao was afraid that Xiao Ping would arrange a group of guards for him again, so he said frankly.

He had to go to the Xuanwang Mansion to probe Rong Yue's night mouth and see if Rong Lei Mo had invited him to form an alliance recently. Second, he had to find out if Rong Yueye had another meaning in designing to assassinate him that night.

When the entire Xuanwang Mansion was completely shrouded in night, a small servant in the Xuanwang Mansion who was in charge of guarding the back door suddenly saw two uninvited guests.

The little guy was afraid that he was a villain, and when he opened his mouth to shout, he was ruthlessly grabbed with his hands and feet, covering his panicked shouting.

Rong Yunxiao was dressed in night clothes, only revealing his eyes like black jade, staring at the little guy and said in a low voice: "Don't make a noise, go in and tell His Royal Highness King Xuan that there is an old man who wants to see him, this is a token." ”

Rong Yunxiao said, and had already stuffed a small yellow pebble that he picked up randomly in the garden of the Dust King's Mansion into the hand of the little servant.

The little guy took the stone in his hand and hurriedly nodded to signal that he would do what the other party said. Ruthless let go of the little guy, and warned him to keep quiet once before the little guy left.

The little servant left in a hurry, Rong Yunxiao and Ruthless disappeared into the wall shrouded in darkness and waited quietly.

"Ruthless, you'll be waiting for me here in a while, and I'll just go in by myself. Rong Yunxiao lowered his voice and commanded ruthlessly.

"But ......" ruthlessly wanted to say something, after all, His Royal Highness the Dust King entered the Xuanwang Mansion in this costume, and deliberately hid his true identity, in case His Royal Highness the Xuanwang killed him, it can be inferred afterwards that he thought it was an assassin who broke in.

"It's okay, you're just waiting outside. Rong Yunxiao cut off the ruthless persuasion. The purpose of his coming to the Xuanwang Mansion to see Rong Yueye this time was just to find out something, and he didn't want Rong Yueye to think that he was looking for trouble or distrustful of him.

In the Xuanwang Mansion, the water pavilion is facing the wind, and Rong Yueye is sitting in the pavilion with a chessboard alone. As soon as the son fell, he saw Wang Shanhai leading a small servant to hurriedly come towards the pavilion.

"What's the hurry?" Rong Yueye raised her eyebrows, but fortunately got up and left the chessboard to stand by the railing.

"According to the report from the little guy at the back door, two men in black asked to see His Highness, saying that they were old people, and they also brought tokens. Wang Shanhai handed a small yellow pebble to Rong Yueye.

Under the spitting flame of the gazebo lights, the small yellow pebble could not be more ordinary, and it could be seen everywhere in the garden of the Xuanwang Mansion.
