Of course, the Night King knew that You Kouyi was not looking for him just to talk to him about feelings or discuss the past. She wanted to go straight to the topic, and he said as she wished:
"Donngling Yuanyong has figured out where the Shadow Man arranged by the Enemy Sect is hiding in the palace, and Lingbi's identity has been completely exposed!"
"I know, that's why I'm looking for you!"
Even if she didn't know now that Dongling Yuanyong already knew the traces of the "Unjust Sect" in the palace, You Kouyi was still completely unsure because she had no way of knowing how Dongling Yuanyong would resolve the "Unjust Sect" incident?
The Night King knew that beneath You Kouyi's calm face, panic was her true emotion at this time.
In fact, he would have more chances to win her back if her plan didn't go smoothly.
But he knew that at this time, You Kouyi could not give up her ambition, because as far as she was concerned, she still had opportunities and bargaining chips!
As always, the Night King chose to fulfill Youkoyi first, and he made a decision for her:
"I will abandon all the shadows placed in the palace, including Lingbi!"
"But Lingbi is the shadow person you value most, are you really willing to give it up?"
The Lingbi was a Shadowman trained by the Night King himself. Compared to other Shadowmen, the Night King seemed to have put more care and care into the Lingbi.
His special love for Lingbi sometimes makes You Kouyi wonder if he has other "feelings" invested in Lingbi!
However, he expressed his decision to abandon the Lingbi so easily, which directly vetoed his special feelings for the Lingbi!
The Night King looked at You Kouyi, and he seemed to be mocking himself and sneered:
"You are the only one I can't bear to part with!"
How could she know that he valued Lingbi not because of Lingbi himself, but because Lingbi looked a bit like her? He just wanted to find some comfort through Lingbi, because as long as he needed it, Lingbi would always be there for him.
Appear in front of him for a moment!
You Kouyi's lowered hands clenched into fists because of the Night King's blunt expression, but she pretended that she didn't understand and just skipped it and returned to the topic:
"As you said, since Your Majesty knows the identity of Lingbi, he also knows that Lingbi has a secret connection with me. What I'm worried about is that even if you abandon all the Shadows in the palace, my connection will not be separated."
"Of course you can't leave. And, unfortunately, it may be difficult for you to maintain your noble and decent image in front of Dongling Yuanyong."
"Ha... That doesn't matter. As long as the green hills are left, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood."
You Kouyi sneered on her lips, maybe Dongling Yuanyong never cared about her image.
Since she entered the palace, she carefully recalled every detail of the past few months. She seemed to be honored and favored in the palace, but in fact, she did not really feel his "favor" from Dongling Yuanyong at all.
Dongling Yuanyong was very gentle to her most of the time and was very courteous in his words. But she always felt that the relationship between her and Dongling Yuanyong was like a delicacy that looked exquisite and picturesque, but as soon as she took it in, she found it was bland and tasteless.
People can't eat it!
Thinking back to the exposure of the "Yuanmen" shadow person, You Kouyi had to suspect that the time when Dongling Yuanyong "specially doted" on her might have been just an illusion, because what he really doted on was not her, but Ximen Yourong!
He diverted everyone's attention by "favoring" her, so Ximen Yourong almost separated from her nephew under the pressure of the courtiers, but in the end because of their aunt and nephew's injuries, and Dongling Yuanyong's
"Left out in the cold", not only is Lengyue Palace the same as before, Dongling Yuanyong has also set foot in Lengyue Palace again.
It can be seen that it was because Dongling Yuanyong felt that the time had come and he no longer needed to perform in her Xiangyun Palace.
No wonder, after the Beginning of Spring Ceremony, it was difficult for her to even see him. It wasn't that he was too busy to see her, but that he didn't want to see her!
If Dongling Yuanyong never thought of giving her a little warmth and hope from the beginning, then everything she calculated would be ridiculous.
You Kouyi's clasped hands were already tense, and when she thought about it, her tightness was directly revealed on her face that could not be relieved.
The Night King could understand what Yu Kouyi's expression meant at a glance. He wanted to taunt her, but what he said instead was:
"Don't worry, Dongling Yuanyong will only think that you are just a shadow person who spent money to rent the "Yuanmen". The reason why he didn't say anything even though he knew you had arranged for Xizuo to be in the palace is because he doesn't like it.
The second reason for your calculation is that touching you is equivalent to touching the You family. Dachengguo has just uprooted a Ximen family. If you suddenly want to move the You family, it will be an adventure for Emperor Dongling. After all, You family has the head.
He personally put on the meritorious service, and it is impossible for him to take off your You family's aura in this short period of time. Otherwise, he would become an emperor who does not know people well, and the imperial power in his hands would also be lost.
It will be defiled!"
"I know everything you said. I'm not worried that His Majesty will punish me directly. What I'm not sure about is what His Majesty will do next. If I can't survive this crisis safely, I will be further away from the position of supreme being.
!”
You Kouyi frowned, Dongling Yuanyong would definitely not quietly deal with the "unjust family" in the palace in private, he would definitely use this to knock Shan Zhenhu.
The question is, after this, in the eyes of Dongling Yuanyong, will she still have a chance to fall into his eyes after making such a serious mistake? How should she maintain her status in the palace?
Seeing that You Kouyi cared most about her lust for power until this very moment, the Night King felt his heart grow cold!
He knew that he could not restrain You Kouyi's desire. All he could do for her was to tell her sincerely:
"If your purpose is just to sit on the throne of Phoenix, then no matter what punishment Emperor Dongling will punish you next, you don't have to do anything, don't say anything, just accept it quietly is the best choice!"
"Why?"
"Because if you attack Ximen Yourong without seeing the situation clearly like you did at the beginning, you will only make her crown more stable!"
"Are you asking me to just watch her continue to dominate? You said yourself that her phoenix crown has become more stable. If you add His Majesty's love for her, no matter what I do, I may not be able to shake it.
She, but you told me not to do anything?"
"What do you think you can do now? Kill Ximen Yourong directly?"
"There's nothing that can't be done if necessary."
You Kouyi's mind was confused, and she actually didn't know how unrealistic what she said was.
However, she was not awake, and the Night King helped her wake up. He hit her mercilessly and said:
"Killing Ximen Yourong is equivalent to killing yourself!"
Youkoyi's heart tightened. The Night King's words were like a blow to the head, waking her up!
It is not difficult for her to kill Ximen Yourong. The problem is that if she kills Ximen Yourong, Dongling Yuanyong will probably kill her too.
After speaking indiscriminately, You Kouyi calmed down. She looked at the helpless and sad face of the Night King. She knew that he was worried about her. She regained her composure and said:
"Don't worry, I just said it casually. I know that I can't act rashly now. However, if I can figure out whether His Majesty's favor for Ximen Yourong is pure or if he has other plans, I can do a better job.
Weigh what can be done to my advantage!”
In fact, the Night King was right, she was too self-righteous at the beginning. She thought it would be easy for her to attack Ximen, but she didn't expect that her rash actions would lead to the relationship between Ximen Yourong and Dongling Yuanyong.
Moreover, Dongling Yuanyong's tolerant and tolerant attitude towards Ximen was beyond her expectations.
Who would have thought that Ximen Yourong, who should be a thorn in Dongling Yuanyong's side, would be favored by Dongling Yuanyong again and again from the wedding?
You Kouyi's wrong judgment from the beginning led to her passivity today. If she had doubted that Dongling Yuanyong's affection for Ximen Yourong was true or false at the beginning, now she can almost refute all her doubts.
Because, after she led people to fabricate evil rumors about Ximen Yourong, the rumors that slandered Ximen Yourong had just disappeared. It was widely rumored that she was the "lucky one" specially selected for the people of Dacheng by the reappearance of the ancestors of Dongling and Ximen.
” The Queen’s kind words appeared almost immediately.
The key to this is the beautiful words created by the "Proud Fairy" who grew up in front of Ximen's ancestor's grave!
Let me ask, who else in this world would create a mythical and beautiful story for Ximen Yourong at the most appropriate time to beautify her existence?
Thinking about it carefully, the doubts in You Kouyi's heart began to become clear little by little. Perhaps, while she was trying her best to prevent Ximen Yourong from being attacked, another person was also making every effort to prevent Ximen Yourong from getting hurt!
The person who tried to hurt Ximen Yourong was Dongling Yuanyong, and You Kouyi didn't think so! The only thing she wasn't sure about was whether Dongling Yuanyong was so protective of Ximen Yourong out of love... or for profit.
Consider?
After all, it does not rule out that Dongling Yuanyong just wanted to use Ximen Yourong, who had no power to rely on, to secure the throne of the queen to prevent a powerful minister like her from having the opportunity to sit on the phoenix throne.
Just as her father analyzed, Dongling Yuanyong had experienced being hurt by powerful ministers in the past, and he was absolutely sensitive to possible threats to imperial power.
Therefore, it is perfect for Dongling Yuanyong that Ximen Yourong takes the throne!
You Kouyi's conjecture can be said to be correct. The only thing missing is that she is not sure whether Dongling Yuanyong has gone beyond the balance of interests and directly determined Ximen Yourong's position in his heart emotionally!
You Kouyi made an uncertain guess, and the Night King concluded for him:
"If a man bothers so much about a woman, there is only one word "love" to explain it!"
"Why are you so sure it's "love"?"
"You should have guessed that "Fairy Ao" is a masterpiece that Emperor Dongling painstakingly transplanted to the tomb of Ximen's ancestor."
Hearing him mention "Fairy Ao", You Kouyi was just stunned for a moment, then she looked at the Night King without much surprise and asked:
"Have you checked?"
She just guessed, and she had no conclusive evidence to prove that it was Dongling Yuanyong who did it.
Nowadays, probably no one knows that the "Proud Fairy" plant in front of Ximen's ancestor's grave is in full bloom, but no one really knows how the "Proud Fairy" grew.
I don’t know why, but the folk naturally endowed us with the clean aura of ancestor Ximen, which nourished the beautiful residence of “Proud Fairy”!
The Night King looked at You Kouyi, and his eyes told her that he had indeed confirmed that "Fairy Ao" was planted by Dongling Yuanyong for Ximen Yourong!
