Haoxing Mingrui kept smiling and staring at Fan Cheng who was sitting in the chair.

I saw that after the effect of the drug in the palace completely dissipated, the instinct of his inner secret agent also began to recover.

With a slight sweep of his small eyes, he found that the room he was currently in was not the original study of the prince. Although the furnishings are very similar, the windows of this study open in the other direction.

Realizing that he was not knowing where he was, Fan Cheng's heart immediately panicked, and he couldn't help but start to twist his slightly thin body uneasily.

"Does the butler know who I am?"

Hearing that the fake prince who looked very different from the past finally opened his mouth again, Fan Cheng was secretly nervous, but also had a glimmer of hope that he could continue to live.

Since the other party is willing to talk, it means that there is still an interest in him, and it is likely that some important information needs to be obtained from his mouth. So as long as he grasps this opportunity, he may be able to make a living for himself.

"You are Prince Ding of Da Yuguo, the seventh emperor brother of the current emperor, but your real name is Li Jin. ”

Although he knew that he was betting on the treasure, Fan Cheng still chose to tell the truth completely instinctively.

Haoxing Mingrui couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, feeling that this Fan Chengran was a person who knew how to judge the situation and act at the opportunity. Since he is willing to tell the truth, he has already shown a kind of sincerity in cooperation.

"Then do you know who I am as Li Jin?"

Fan Cheng was stunned for a moment, and found that he had never thought about this question.

Before entering this palace, he already knew about the existence of Li Jin, the stand-in of Prince Ding. As for who this Li Jin was before he became a stand-in, he didn't care about it, let alone bother to inquire about it.

So, he shook his head and said bluntly: "Gonggong Zheng has never said it, and I have never asked." ”

"Gonggong Zheng didn't say it because he didn't know it at all. I am actually a close confidant of His Royal Highness King Ding, and I was ordered to stay in this palace as a stand-in for the prince. ”

Listening to Haoxing Mingrui's words, Fan Cheng looked at him in surprise for a long time, and suddenly found that this fake prince had swept away the cautious attitude of the past, and there was even more vigor and heroism between his eyebrows.

He immediately figured everything out, and then asked with a hint of self-deprecation: "So, Lord Wang, you have long seen through my true identity, but you have been using me to send wrong information to Gonggong Zheng, right?"

And so it is. ”

Haoxing Mingrui looked at Fan Cheng with a smile, and suddenly said in an aggravated tone: "Moreover, I want to continue to let you do this in the future!"

Fan Cheng was stunned for a long time, and then said, "It turns out ...... It's for ...... This thing ......"

"Yes, that's for it. ”

Haoxing Mingrui nodded solemnly, "You must not be able to figure it out, since I still want to use you to deceive Gonggong Zheng, why do I have to reveal my true identity to you, and take an extra risk of being betrayed by you at any time, right?"

Fan Cheng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded honestly and admitted it, because at this time, he really did not completely give up the idea of betraying the other party in his heart.

If you don't report what you know, and you still deliberately deceive, isn't it no different from rebellion? Once Zheng Gonggong is aware of it, he will die without a place to be buried.

"I think you must have received an order from Gonggong Zheng to closely monitor my every move. But do you know why?"

"I thought—"

Fan Cheng paused, and finally replied with some uncertainty: "I originally thought that this move was to protect your safety. But my martial arts are low, and I really can't compare to those masters who are secretly protecting you.

So I had another conjecture. Gonggong Zheng's purpose should still be to spy on you. I don't know why. ”

"Actually, even those Ouchi masters who are hiding in the shadows are mostly there to spy on me, and you at the same time!"

"Spying on me?" Fan Chengyi blinked a few times in disbelief.

"Because if you find out that something is wrong, you will probably have the idea of running away in order to protect yourself. And what Zheng Yong fought must have been the idea of killing after the fact. ”

"Extinguish the mouth?" Fan Cheng's eyelids jumped, "The emperor and Gonggong Zheng just want to capture the fleeing Prince Ding, what does this matter have to do with me?

"If so, why should they let you spy on me, for they are afraid that I will want to run away. ”

Seeing that Fan Cheng was still at a loss, Haoxing Mingrui further explained: "This time, the emperor and Zheng Yong don't want to just passively set a trap and wait for the real Prince Ding to jump.

They have decided to take the initiative and let me, the fake prince, incite Prince Ding's old subordinates to raise troops to rebel, so that the prince can appear realistically. ”

Fan Cheng's eyes rolled several times in a row, and he thought of the key to this-rebellion is a major crime of the Nine Clans.

At that time, it will not only be Prince Ding, but also the people of the entire palace!

And whether it is as the chief housekeeper of the palace or as a secret agent in the palace, Fan Cheng's fate cannot escape a dead word.

The reason is naturally to extinguish the mouth!

must not let the world know that the emperor would use such vicious means to murder his own brother!

In an instant, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Fan Cheng's body.

He was an extremely shrewd man, and since he had figured out the key point, he also figured out the other questions-

If it weren't for the fact that things had reached such a sinister level as the false prince had said, there was really no need for him to risk revealing his true identity to himself.

And the reason why he did this was because he had realized that whether it was him, the fake prince, or himself, the fake housekeeper, there was no choice at this time. Only by working together can we find a chance to live.

But with just the two of them, a fake prince and a fake housekeeper, how much ability can they escape from the trap that the emperor and Zheng Yong have already set?

Fan Cheng's face kept changing, from the initial dazedness, to the sudden awakening, and then to a hopeless despair.

Seeing this, Haoxing Mingrui couldn't help but smile slightly, knowing that this person had already been moved by his own words, and he would soon join his camp.

"Although the trick of the emperor and Zheng Yong seems to be clever, there is a huge mistake in it, so that the whole plan is full of loopholes and is not vulnerable at all!"

Hearing Haoxing Mingrui say this, Fan Cheng suddenly thought that this fake prince was no longer the Li Jin who was in a wreck, presumably he already had a way to deal with the emperor and Zheng Yong, so he would "invite" himself to discuss.

As soon as he thought of this, his chief butler suddenly came to his senses, and asked in a somewhat anxious tone: "I don't know what the prince has to do to save your life and your subordinates?"

"Defect before the battle, get rid of Zheng Yong!" Haoxing Mingrui said categorically.

Fan Cheng blinked his little eyes a few times quickly, felt a tightness in his throat, and asked after a while, "How is it...... to get rid of ...... Zheng Yong?"

When he asked, he had already agreed to defect.

"As I just said, there was a great mistake in this plan of the emperor and Zheng Yong. That is, they take it for granted that you and I are pawns that can be manipulated at will, or even discarded.

However, they didn't expect that since we two pawns who crossed the river could no longer turn back, they would simply join the other side's camp. Then, we'll lead them across the river and let them wipe them out once and for all. ”

Hearing Haoxing Mingrui use the word "we", Fan Cheng's heart suddenly felt inexplicably comfortable and useful.

For so many years, as a secret agent under Zheng Yong, he can be said to be a slave under the minion, when has he been taken seriously?

It was only after becoming the housekeeper of the palace that he had a feeling of being respected and valued.

Therefore, he is also happy to fantasize about himself as the real butler of the palace, and is satisfied with ushering in the days of sending and receiving gifts and rewarding silver from time to time, which is really leisurely and fast!

Who knew that disasters would fall from the sky, not only the days of the great housekeeper of the palace were coming to an end, but also his own life would have to be filled in!

In addition to being frightened, he is also unwilling.

Therefore, he agreed to Haoxing Mingrui's persuasion of himself to defect without much hesitation.

It's just that he is still very self-aware, and he doesn't dare to have much extravagant hope for the treatment he may get after his defection.

An already disgraceful insider like himself betrayed his master halfway and threw himself into the opposing camp.

If the other party can take him in and give him some appropriate remuneration, then he is already trustworthy, how dare he expect equal treatment and respect?

But now that I heard Haoxing Mingrui, it was natural to use the word "we", and he completely treated him as his own.

Although he knew that this fake prince was the other party's person, seeing that he was willing to treat him as an equal, this still made Fan Cheng's heart feel a sense of emotion, and even gratitude.

He stood up, clenched his fist heavily at Haoxing Mingrui, and said sincerely: "Under Fan Cheng, I am willing to be loyal to Prince Ding from now on, and I will be at the mercy of the prince at any time!" 21010
