Hearing this, the eldest prince was shocked and he hesitated for a long time before saying: "This, I will talk to the princess tomorrow and let her lift your confinement."
"Thank you, Your Highness. Your Highness is indeed the best to me." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Mei smiled sincerely and coquettishly acted coquettishly in response to the eldest prince's coquettish voice.
"Beauty, are you satisfied now? Isn't it my turn?" The eldest prince gave a sly smile and was about to hug Mrs. Mei.
Mrs. Mei nimbly dodged his attack. She raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at the eldest prince. She pouted her red lips and said softly: "Your Highness, haven't I finished asking you yet?"
"What else do you want to ask, beauty?" A trace of concern flashed in the eldest prince's eyes, and he frowned.
"Your Highness, don't be angry. I only want to ask Your Highness the last question." Mrs. Mei couldn't see the impatience in his eyebrows. Her heart trembled, and she pretended to be coquettish and said: "Your Highness, I heard that the princess was talking about concubine to Your Highness.
He said bad things about me, saying that I was sent by the second prince. Did your Highness believe the princess, and that’s why the princess wasted so much time on me?"
After saying that, Mrs. Mei glanced at the eldest prince quickly, then lowered her eyes and sobbed, wiping the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief from time to time.
"Beauty, you have misunderstood me!" The eldest prince cried again when he saw her. He was heartbroken. He hugged her and explained: "Although the princess has told me this, you are the woman who saved my life."
, how could I, the king, believe those nonsense?"
"Really? Your Highness really believes in me?"
"of course!"
"Your Highness is the best!"
"Has the beauty calmed down?"
"Your Highness..."
Xing Luo couldn't listen anymore and hurriedly pulled Liu Ying, who was watching with great interest, out of Madam Mei's yard.
It wasn't until she reached a safe place that Liu Ying finally spoke: "I didn't expect that the eldest prince would trust Madam Mei so much. We had obviously set up a trap to let him and the eldest princess know the evidence that Mrs. Mei was secretly colluding with outsiders, but this eldest prince didn't even know the slightest bit.
Don’t doubt Mrs. Mei!”
"I don't think so." Xing Luo said slowly, and glanced at the small courtyard that had shrunk into a smaller one with a half-smile.
"How do you say this?" Upon hearing this, Liu Ying immediately became interested and looked at Xing Luo curiously.
"Although the eldest prince has a simple and honest appearance, he has an impression of being straightforward and heroic in the eyes of many Beidi people, but how can he be a simpleton when he can become the leader of the Beidi Tiger Army."
smiled.
Hearing this, Liuying exclaimed: "You mean, the eldest prince did it on purpose?"
"That's right!"
But he doesn’t have the temper to suffer any loss at all.”
Hearing this, Liu Ying's eyes lit up and she looked at Xing Luo with great interest.
Xing Luo smiled slightly and continued: "The eldest princess's mother's family is the largest noble in Beidi, and the eldest princess's father is the prime minister of Beidi."
"The eldest prince's mother-in-law is also the daughter of a famous noble in Beidi. Now the King of Beidi must not be afraid of the eldest prince?"
"But although the eldest prince himself is superb in martial arts and has great military achievements, he has always been stubborn in front of outsiders. Even when facing the King of Beidi, he speaks directly and will never follow others' influence. He is even henpecked!" Liu Ying's eyes rolled.
He turned around and looked at Xing Luo with bright eyes.
Xing Luo nodded with a smile and said softly: "In this way, King Beidi will only relax his vigilance towards the eldest prince, and instead become more fond of his brave eldest son."
"On the contrary, he is extremely weak, and the second prince with the Dasheng bloodline is not favored by King Beidi. He only favors and distrusts him." Liu Ying took the words thoughtfully and couldn't help but touch her chin.
"In this way, the eldest prince must have already suspected Mrs. Mei's identity. He just kept it secret and waited for the best opportunity." Liu Ying murmured.
Xing Luo, however, had other ideas and said softly: "I think the eldest prince wants to use his trick to make the second prince think that he has believed his plan. But he doesn't know that the eldest prince has already seen through Mrs. Mei and is waiting to invite you to the urn."
"You mean, the eldest prince wanted to defeat the second prince in one fell swoop?" Liu Ying frowned and had an idea, but failed to catch it.
"King Beidi is getting worse and worse now. A new king will surely take over the throne soon. The second prince is just the son of Mrs. Dasheng. He has no advantage at all. He must not use secret tactics to win the throne." Xing Luo
He sighed quietly and looked deeply in the direction of Jingzhou.
Hearing this, Liuying fell silent. After a while, she lowered her eyes and said softly: "It's okay. Master deliberately did not return to Beijing this year just to prevent chaos in Beidi. Even if the King of Beidi dies, even if Beidi tears up the peace letter, we will not be able to do it in Dasheng."
Fear them."
"Yes, Master has been prepared for a long time. The key for us is to find out the news about the mysterious man." Xing Luo glanced at the Beidi Palace behind him with twinkling eyes, feeling a little heavy.
"Xing Luo, we have been investigating for a long time, why have we never seen the true face of that mysterious man!" As he said this, Liu Ying couldn't help but feel angry and furious.
"That mysterious man is too cunning and has been hiding behind the second prince." Xing Luo felt extremely unhappy when he thought of himself who had failed almost every time before.
"It doesn't matter. As long as the second prince falls, that mysterious man will no longer have a place to stay. When the time comes, no matter whether it is Beidi or Dasheng, he will never even think of escaping!" Liuying snorted coldly and secretly made up her mind.
Hearing this, a smile flashed in Xing Luo's eyes, and he said softly: "Well, it's getting late, let's go back and rest first, and come back to see you tomorrow."
"good."
So the two of them disappeared from Beidi Palace in a few seconds.
Thousands of miles away, a study room in General Weiyuan's Mansion was also brightly lit.
"It's okay, our plan actually failed?" Wen Jianzhou looked at the letter in his hand in disbelief and frowned.
Huo Jingchen took a leisurely sip of tea and said calmly: "I don't think so."
"Oh? How do you say this?" Wen Jianzhou raised his eyebrows, straightened his body, and looked at him with interest.
Huo Jingchen slowly came up with almost the same speculation as Xing Luo.
Hearing this, Wen Jianzhou was thoughtful, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Now that the weather is getting colder, Beidi has always been short of food. Although many Beidi merchants have rushed to Jingzhou to buy a large amount of food back in the past few days, this is also an unstable situation.
factor."
"After all, if they are full and full, they will pose an even greater threat to Jingzhou." When Wen Jianzhou thought of this, his expression became serious.
"Don't worry, don't we still have a peace letter between Beidi and us?" Huo Jingchen's careless voice sounded.
Hearing this, Wen Jianzhou glanced at him with disgust, curled his lips, and said angrily: "You won't believe this mere piece of paper, will you? When did you become so naive? Fortunately, you are still the General Weiyuan personally named by His Majesty.
Woolen cloth!"
"Although the Beidi people are cunning and cruel, the King of Beidi is old and has a more conservative temperament. As long as he doesn't die this winter, Beidi will definitely not invade Jingzhou." Huo Jing slowly took a sip of tea and put down the cup in his hand.
.
Wen Jianzhou questioned: "What if King Beidi dies? After all, his old and disabled body cannot last long, otherwise he would not have been so humble in asking for peace."
"Wouldn't it be better if he died?" Huo Jingchen chuckled and said calmly: "The eldest prince is brave and foolhardy. Almost all his strategies were thought up for him by the Prime Minister of Beidi and the eldest prince concubine, but the Prime Minister of Beidi is a tough guy.
You are an old fox who doesn’t buckle, and the eldest princess is not a fuel-efficient lamp."
"If the eldest prince succeeds to the throne, given his temperament, sooner or later the prime minister of Beidi and the eldest prince will oust him from power. When the time comes..."
Wen Jianzhou understood Huo Jingchen's unfinished words, clasped his hands and laughed, saying proudly: "The Prime Minister of Beidi will definitely threaten the emperor to order the princes. After all, the eldest son of the eldest prince and concubine is only five years old."
"But, what if the second prince succeeds to the throne? We won't even be able to catch that mysterious man by then." When he thought about the mysterious man who had disappeared without a trace, Wen Jianzhou became a little irritated, took a deep breath, and secretly
clam down.
Huo Jingchen naturally thought of the mysterious man, and there was a chill in his eyes, but he affirmed: "No, although the second prince of Beidi is favored, he is too weak, and the nobles of Beidi will not support a prince with foreign blood to ascend the throne.
.”
"Even if King Beidi is really confused and passes the throne to the second prince, he will not be able to sit on the throne. After all, with the eldest prince's violent temper and military power, the second prince will not be able to sit on the throne for a day."
But Wen Jianzhou touched his chin and asked doubtfully: "In that case, why did that mysterious man choose the second prince? The eldest prince obviously has more prospects."
"It's because the eldest prince is so powerful that he doesn't look down on a wealthy man like him at all. The mysterious man can only collude with the second prince. After all, they are in similar situations." Huo Jingchen sneered, his eyes dark.
Wen Jianzhou couldn't help but shudder, subconsciously touched his cold back, smiled coquettishly, and said to please: "That's it, are you okay? The second prince and the mysterious man have to be taken care of together. I don't know.
Who is so blind that he dares to hurt your precious body?"
Looking at the flattering Wen Jianzhou, Huo Jingchen twitched the corner of his mouth and silently looked away. He felt goosebumps almost covering his arms and felt extremely cold.
"Jingyun." Huo Jingchen suddenly shouted outside.
"Master." Jingyun opened the door and waited respectfully with his eyes lowered.
"Take someone to prepare for returning to Beijing. When the time comes, find someone to pretend to be me and return to Beijing. You and Yubai will secretly leave Jingzhou first, go out of Xuzhou, and then secretly come back." Huo Jingchen's deep voice sounded.
"Remember, this matter must be kept confidential and cannot be spread outside."
"Yes." Although Jingyun was surprised, he still respectfully agreed.
"It's okay, don't you think so?" Wen Jianzhou raised his eyebrows and looked at Huo Jingchen in surprise.
