The first one hundred and sixty-nine chapters are startling step by step
Of course Lao Fei knew very well that if Xiahou Yuanzhen really sent someone to poison Chen Xun, he would definitely not hide it.
"There is an adulterer in the palace." Old Fei said softly, "That person's status in the palace is not low."
Xiahou Yuanzhen nodded and said: "That's right. After this incident, the saint also knew that there was a traitor hidden in the palace, but the person was very hidden and did his job cleanly. The poisoning incident did not leave any useful clues. Although the saint sent
People can catch a traitor, but since that person has been hiding in the palace for many years, it is naturally not easy to find him out."
"Prime Minister, that person must also be our enemy." Lao Fei was naturally not an ordinary person, and said slowly: "The purpose of that person poisoning Chen Xun was naturally to make Chen Xun defeated at the hands of Yuan Gai Wushuang, and even
I thought about letting Chen Xun die in the hands of Yuan Gai Wushuang."
Xiahou Yuanzhen said: "That man is indeed taking advantage of Chen Xun. Maybe he really thought about letting Chen Xun die in the ring." He looked at Lao Fei and asked: "Old Fei, what would happen if Chen Xun really died?
s consequence?"
"Chen Xun is the beloved disciple of the Great Heavenly Master." Lao Fei said: "It was the Prime Minister who suggested that Yuan Gai Wushuang set up a challenge, and it was the Prime Minister who suggested that Chen Xun fight. In the end, Chen Xun was poisoned and lost to Yuan Gai Wushuang, and was defeated by Yuan Gai Wushuang.
Gai Wushuang was killed in the ring. Although the Great Heavenly Master is a cultivator, he will definitely hate the Prime Minister in his heart."
"That's right." Xiahou Yuanzhen sighed: "Fortunately, Yuan Gai Wushuang also knew that the Great Heavenly Master was behind Chen Xun. He probably knew that the Great Heavenly Master was a ninth-grade grandmaster, so he didn't dare to be cruel to Chen Xun.
.But in this incident, even my biological sister, the current saint, suspected that I sent someone to poison me. Of course, the Great Heavenly Master would also think that the person who poisoned me was bribed by me." After a slight pause, he continued: "If that day
Qin Xiao goes on stage and dies in Yuan Gaiwu's hands, what will happen next?"
Lao Fei thought for a moment and then said: "The princess will marry far away from Bohai, and everyone in the world will think that the Prime Minister has some dealings with the Bohai people. The saint will even lose trust in the Prime Minister because of this matter." After a pause, he added.
He said in one sentence: "The Xiahou family's situation will be extremely difficult."
Xiahou Yuanzhen's eyes were sharp and he said: "Exactly. She Yue and I have been fighting for many years, and Qin Xiao was even involved in the assassination of Ning'er. Everyone knows that I have deep conflicts with these two people. She Yue married far away, and Qin Xiao
Xiao was killed and Chen Xun was poisoned. At that time, I was afraid that even I thought that I had planned the entire ring incident. Because my motives were so strong, the real culprit behind the scenes was about to come out." He sneered and said, "And this is exactly what happened in the palace.
The traitor's purpose is to use the ring incident to achieve multiple goals."
"Now it seems that Qin Xiao defeated Yuan Gai Wushuang and made all the villain's plans come to nothing." Lao Fei said: "Not only did he save the princess, he also helped the Xiahou family."
"It did help the Xiahou family." Xiahou Yuanzhen sneered and said, "But whether he saved She Yue or not, I really can't tell."
Lao Fei was a little suspicious. Xiahou Yuanzhen thought for a moment and then asked: "Old Fei, is it possible that the person who poisoned the poison was instigated by She Yue?"
Lao Fei's face changed slightly and he said in surprise: "The princess was poisoned? Prime Minister, how is this possible? Is she willing to marry far away from Bohai?"
"With the changes in Jiangnan, the foundation of Sheyue was gone." Xiahou Yuanzhen said: "Not only that, the saint took back the inner treasury from her, and even put her under house arrest in the Pearl Mirror Hall. Judging from this situation, it is difficult for her to
Turn over again." He stroked his beard and said: "After the Jiangnan rebellion, the saint has realized that the biggest threat to her is none other than She Yue. Even though She Yue has no intention of rebellion, the blood of the Li and Tang royal family has made many others
People with bad intentions want to use She Yue as a banner, so as long as she exists, she is the biggest threat to the saint."
Lao Fei nodded slightly but said nothing.
"She Yue knows that she will be under house arrest in the inner palace for the rest of her life, without freedom, just like a prisoner." Xiahou Yuanzhen sneered: "She may not be worried that the saint will kill her directly one day in order to avoid future troubles.
Throughout the ages, for the power in their hands, there have been countless incidents of royal family killing each other. She Yue is familiar with history books, so she naturally knows all about this."
"The Prime Minister is saying that in order to take refuge, the princess would rather marry far away from Bohai Sea?"
"It's not just about taking refuge." Xiahou Yuanzhen said: "If you go to Bohai, you will at least be the Queen of Bohai. It's not like being under house arrest in the Tang Palace with no freedom." The look in his eyes was cold, and he smiled coldly: "And she wholeheartedly wants to serve the Li family.
The royal family took revenge and arrived at the Bohai Sea. With her intelligence, it is not impossible that she would be like a fish in water. It is not impossible that one day she would raise the flag and command the Tang Dynasty. In addition, she could also use the ring incident to sow discord between the old man and the saint. She left the Bohai Sea and the saint was against her.
If I no longer trust you, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"
The corners of Lao Fei's eyes twitched slightly. Although Xiahou Yuanzhen's speculation was unbelievable, when he thought about it carefully, it was not unreasonable.
"She Yue has grown up in the palace since she was a child, and she is very familiar with Yu Tiantai." Xiahou Yuanzhen said slowly: "How can ordinary people buy the disciples of Yu Tiantai? But she is a princess, but she has such ability. If the palace really
If there is an adulterer, it is most likely She Yue."
Lao Fei said: "The princess has the blood of the Li and Tang royal family. If she really wants to win people's hearts in the palace and take advantage of the departure of General Manager Wei to attack the saint together with his gang members, then... the saint's current situation is really dangerous."
"This is what I am most worried about." Xiahou Yuanzhen sighed: "Even if the real culprit behind the arena incident is not She Yue but someone else, then this force must be trying to get rid of my Xiahou family.
They have the same purpose as She Yue, they both want to get rid of the Xiahou family, so it is naturally possible for them to work together. No matter what the situation is, it is very possible to control the saint first, or even force the saint to issue an imperial edict."
"The edict of passing the throne?"
Xiahou Yuanzhen lowered his voice and said, "Just like back then."
"The saint has not been in court for nearly three months. If he had been controlled by She Yue, the edict of succession should have been issued long ago." Lao Fei asked doubtfully: "Why has there been no movement?"
"The saint is so wise. To issue an edict, he naturally needs to use the jade seal." Xiahou Yuanzhen said: "As long as the jade seal does not fall into She Yue's hands, she cannot forge the edict. Maybe the saint hid the jade seal and She Yue never found it.
So the saint and She Yue are in a stalemate." A pair of eyes with deep and cold eyes whispered: "I can't know for sure what the truth is. The only way to find out the truth is to send someone to sneak into the palace and find out what happened.
What."
Lao Fei said: "As long as you can sneak into the palace and secretly check the situation in the Pearl Mirror Hall, you can know whether the inner palace is under the control of the princess." He frowned and said: "But the imperial city has been sealed off, and there are many masters in the palace.
, it is extremely dangerous to sneak into the palace to find out information."
"You have traveled around the world and met many strange people." Xiahou Yuanzhen whispered: "Maybe you can find a master to spy on the palace?"
Lao Fei said: "There are many Zhongtian realms in the palace. If you want to sneak into the palace without being discovered, you must be at least the sixth level. Among the Blood Kites, no one has reached the sixth level, and once they are captured in the palace,
If captured alive and tortured to extract a confession, it is very likely that he will reveal his identity as a blood kite, which will be very detrimental to the Prime Minister." After a pause, he continued: "The old slave also knows many martial arts masters, including several of the sixth grade.
situation, but... they will never dare to sneak into the palace, and these people in the world cannot be trusted."
Xiahou Yuanzhen obviously also knew that this matter was extremely difficult.
After all, the Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty is the most heavily guarded place in the world. There are dragon scale guards guarding the outside, and the inner palace is protected by many palace masters. People who don’t know why enter the palace only see the grandeur inside, but Xiahou Yuanzhen
However, he knew that murderous intent was lurking in the palace, and even if he entered the palace at the sixth level, it would not be easy to retreat unscathed.
After a long time, Xiahou Yuanzhen sighed: "You go down first, I will think about it again."
Lao Fei bowed and took two steps back. He hesitated, but then came forward again and whispered: "Prime Minister, I am willing to enter the palace to spy."
"You?" Xiahou Yuanzhen was startled, but immediately shook his head and said: "No, it's too dangerous, you...!"
However, Lao Fei interrupted: "Old slave has been so kind to the Prime Minister for so many years and has nothing to repay. The situation is serious now. If we do not take action for a long time, we will just sit and wait for death. The old slave has a sixth-grade cultivation, so be careful after entering the palace.
, to spy on the situation of the princess and the saint. Even if the saint cannot be seen, as long as we can find some clues, it is better than knowing nothing here." After thinking for a while, he continued: "The layout of the palace is very clear to the king.
, I only need to give the old slave a simple map of the palace, indicating the Pearl Mirror Hall and the location of the Saint and the Holy Driver, and the old slave should do his best to investigate."
Xiahou Yuanzhen shook his head and said: "Old Fei, you are close to me. Entering the palace to spy is tantamount to treason. If you fail...!"
"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will make preparations." Lao Fei smiled slightly and said: "Even if I miss, I will never be captured alive by them, and there is a way to prevent them from recognizing my face." He sighed softly.
: "They dared to be cruel to all the officials last night. I'm just worried that if they don't make preparations, they will do something more shocking. Only by ascertaining the situation in the palace can the Prime Minister respond with all his strength."
Xiahou Yuanzhen stood up, walked to Lao Fei, held Lao Fei's wrist, and said with emotion: "You should know that you are one of the few people I can trust, and I have always regarded you as my old brother.
I don’t want to see any accidents happen to you.”
"The Prime Minister is so kind that I will never be able to repay you in my lifetime." Lao Fei said with a smile: "Raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a while. I just have the opportunity to repay you for the many years of kindness. I will never let the Prime Minister down."
Xiahou Yuanzhen pondered for a moment and then said: "You have to promise me that once you sense danger, you would rather retreat than force yourself."
Lao Fei just knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Old servant, go all out, success will be better, even if you fail, you will not leave any trouble for the Prime Minister." He raised his head and looked at Xiahou Yuanzhen, and said: "The country
