Let them show their loyalty!

After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Xi sat on the main seat of the conference hall and asked, "What on earth happened to Prince Kang?"

After sitting down, she seemed to realize that the neckline was wrong. She calmly adjusted the neckline of her nightgown.

When she moved her hand away, the piece had disappeared without a trace.

Then she looked at Qiu Tu again, with sharp eyes, and said with the dignity of a superior, "I told you before, King Kang is sick."

Qiu Tu nodded, then sat next to Princess Xi and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Princess Xi paused for a moment and then said, "Sleep."

Qiu Tu raised his eyebrows.

Sleepy, this is kind of interesting.

He couldn't help but ask, "Can sleepiness be considered an illness?"

Princess Xi glanced at him expressionlessly, "What if I say he only wakes up for half an hour a day?"

Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment, and was about to say, "Don't you wake up for half an hour every day?"

As a result, Princess Xi added, "And during that half hour, he couldn't get up, so he could only lie on the bed, staring at the ceiling."

"Although, there seems to be no problem with his sanity, and he can even communicate with us."

"But he has no coherent memory."

"No coherent memory?" Qiu Tu asked a little confused, "What does this mean?"

Princess Xi said, "That is to say, if I tell him today that the Kou family wants to rebel, he will get furious and then angrily accuse the Kou family of being ambitious."

"But... the next day, he will still summon Kou Xuan, then arrange the work, and encourage him to shelter the humerus."

Qiu Tu asked tentatively, "Is it possible that King Kang has not lost his memory."

"But because the Kou family is powerful and he is unwell, he is not sure of uprooting the Kou family. So is he just giving in and temporarily appeasing the Kou family?"

After hearing Qiu Tu's analysis, Princess Xi shook her head without any hesitation, "It's impossible."

"You don't understand King Kang's prestige in Sanctuary 6."

"Although there are always rumors that the Kou family and King Kang share the same world. But King Kang is an iron-blooded emperor who established his own protection."

"Everyone in the 6th Sanctuary follows him. Even the Kou family became powerful because he did it deliberately. Because he believes in the Kou family."

"So, if he really wants to deal with the Kou family, there is no way he can't deal with him."

Speaking of this, Princess Xi paused for a moment, and then added, "There is another important reason."

"If he is really just lowering the Kou family's vigilance, then there is no need to convene a meeting with the ministers when he is awake and then entrust Kou Xuan with all matters of the sanctuary, right?"

Hearing Princess Xi's words, Qiu Tu was really stunned for a moment.

He couldn't help but ask, "When King Kang was sober, he summoned the ministers and then delegated various affairs to Kou Xuan?"

Princess Xi nodded slightly with an expressionless face.

Maybe it was because she couldn't accept it, so her fair, exotic face was filled with annoyance.

Qiu Tu frowned slightly.

He was about to say something.

Princess Xi added, "The Kou family is obviously very ambitious."

"They were more cautious and uneasy at first after knowing that King Kang was ill."

"In those days, I could always hear news about the Kou family secretly mobilizing their troops."

"Later, after they found out that King Kang woke up for half an hour every day, and still trusted them, and even handed over the power of the shelter to themselves, they were completely relieved."

"Afterwards, after testing for a while, they began to gradually change the defense of the inner and outer halls, and gradually took control of King Kang."

Princess Xi may have been suppressed for too long. It was rare to find someone to talk to, so she expressed her inner grievances.

Hearing this, Qiu Tu nodded slightly.

This reaction of the Kou family was unreasonable - too many iron-blooded emperors were in harmony with their rulers and ministers when they were in good health, but once they fell ill, they would massacre their powerful officials to pave the way for future generations.

It is estimated that the Kou family is also worried that King Kang will become like this.

However, as things developed later, they discovered that the current King Kang would not only not kill powerful ministers, but would even help them consolidate their power.

This led to the subsequent series of changes.

And it was precisely because of knowing the current situation of the 6th shelter that Qiu Tu finally understood a series of previous doubts.

For example, why would a minister dare to attack and kill the princess's soldiers and put the princess under semi-house arrest.

For example, why is the Kou family so unscrupulous.

The bottom line is that they not only dominate the 6th Sanctuary, but they also hold the emperor in power to control the place.

In a sense, King Kang is now on the side of the Kou family, not Princess Xi.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but said half seriously and half jokingly, "Princess. Now Prince Kang is supporting the Kou family. Even the inner and outer palaces are controlled by the Kou family."

"What are you still struggling with?"

"There is almost no hope of a comeback."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Xi Liu Ye raised her eyebrows coldly and glared at Qiu Tu, "Prince Kang was just deceived, not really confused."

"I believe that if he wakes up, he will not let the Kou family continue to be so arrogant."

Qiu Tu held his chin and asked curiously, "What if after he wakes up, he still decides to continue supporting the Kou family?"

Princess Xi's expression froze and she fell silent.

When Qiu Tu saw this, a smile appeared on his face.

He had almost formed a good "character model" of Princess Xi in his mind.

That's right, these few contacts with Princess Xi, including the series of actions with Princess Xi tonight, were actually intentional by Qiu Tu.

Because, as early as the previous contacts, Qiu Tu had discovered something wrong.

Princess Xi seemed to be concerned about King Kang and was trying to save him, but her starting point did not seem to be so "simple".

For example, she always mentioned how hateful the Kou family was, how powerful they were, and how they had a rebellious heart. (Chapter 492)

For example, whether she was facing Ellie or Qiu Tu, the first thing she expressed was the accusation against the Kou family, not the safety of King Kang. (Chapter 499)

In fact, this does not conform to the mentality of a normal woman.

A woman who truly loves her husband, when her husband is seriously ill, will be most concerned about "neighbors" and "relatives" coming to rob the family property?

No. They are more concerned about the safety of their husbands.

After the matter was delayed, the first priority must be to deal with her husband's illness.

Some decisive women would even sell part of their property in exchange for their husbands.

So. In the previous contacts, Qiu Tu had already had "suspicions" about Princess Xi.

So, when Princess Xi threatened him last time, Qiu Tu threatened to expose the matter in return, seeing how Princess Xi was coping in the 6th shelter. (Chapter 500)

As a result, Princess Xi actually endured it.

At this time, Qiu Tu had some guesses about Princess Xi's "identity" in his heart.

This woman is definitely a "political creature".

The serious illness of Prince Kang is not "her husband's illness" for her, but a huge "political crisis".

To be more precise, it is a "political crisis" that may make her and her children's wealth and glory become a bubble.

And the conditions she offered, such as "super-quality" official positions, the opening of the national treasury, and letting the 8th shelter choose, are not for the medical expenses of her husband's treatment. It is a "political exchange".

After clarifying this concept, the whole thing has become completely different. Now that King Kang is seriously ill and the 6th Shelter is almost under the control of the Kou family, Princess Xi is now "getting something for nothing".

She is like Qiu Tu in the past, trading things that do not belong to her.

So after figuring out the essence of the whole thing, Qiu Tu began to drag Princess Xi - he was using this method to further reduce Princess Xi's room for mediation and increase his bargaining power.

And when they met tonight, Meng Lang's two behaviors were also Qiu Tu's testing of Princess Xi's bottom line.

- After confirming that Princess Xi and King Kang are more like allies than husband and wife, Qiu Tu wants to find out what Princess Xi's bottom line is that she can accept.

This is also the reason why he just talked to Princess Xi about the topic of "King Kang wakes up and continues to support the Kou family".

And now. He knows.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu crossed his hands on the table and continued to test, "Princess. Actually. I also want to help you."

"But. You also saw that the situation has deteriorated to the point of being irreversible."

"Don't say that we may not be able to save King Kang. Even if we can save him, can you grasp King Kang's mind?"

"If he continues to trust the Kou family, if he plans to give up the "dual monarchy", or even plans to retire himself, what will you do?"

Princess Xi did not easily reveal her emotions. She sat there without saying a word.

But silence is the best answer.

Qiu Tu, who once again understood Princess Xi's thoughts, finally began to try to break Princess Xi's bottom line. He pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then said, "This matter is not without a chance to be resolved."

Sure enough, this time Princess Xi couldn't help but look at Qiu Tu majestically.

Qiu Tu did not directly state his judgment. Instead, he asked, "How much direct lineage power does Princess have in the 6th Shelter? "

Qiu Tu guessed that Princess Xi was not alone. In addition to being a political creature, Princess Xi's one-year-old child was not with her.

If Princess Xi did not have any direct lineage in the 6th shelter, she would definitely bring her child with her.

Moreover, she could live safely in the layers of siege by the Kou family, so she must have her own power to rely on.

Moreover, this power is likely to be quite large. This is why the Kou family is a little bit cautious and dares only to control, but not to deal with Princess Xi.

Sure enough, after hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Xi was silent for two seconds, and then said, "In the past few years, I have been with King Kang and have actually cultivated some confidants."

"Especially the few great talents I recommended to King Kang, some of them led troops, and some were stationed in places."

"After that, King Kang was seriously ill, the Kou family was powerful, and some people who supported King Kang and the prince also turned to me."

"However, most of these people are middle and high-level civil servants in the center. They don't have much actual power. "

Qiu Tu heard this, touched his chin, and thought.

The woman in front of him was obviously not a simple person. She had prepared for a rainy day and cultivated her own strength.

And what she said now is probably not all.

Combined with the identity of this woman and her child, it is no wonder that the Kou family would be cautious.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu simply estimated the strength of both sides and slowly said, "Princess. This force is actually not weak."

"To a certain extent, it can already influence the political situation of the entire shelter under special circumstances. "

"So." Qiu Tu paused and then said, "Have you ever considered learning from the Kou family?"

"Learn from the Kou family?" Princess Xi had a look of astonishment on her face.

Qiu Tu said calmly, "Yes."

"Since King Kang is uncontrollable, why not imitate the Kou family and take advantage of King Kang to control the place?"

"The Kou family can do it, but you can't?"

After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Xi's entire face turned livid.

She pointed at Qiu Tu and cursed angrily, "Ambition of a wolf! Rebellious ministers and traitors!"

"I originally thought I was looking for a helper, but I didn't expect that I actually attracted a hungry wolf!"

"Get out! Get out of here!"

Faced with Princess Xi's fierce reaction, Qiu Tu was not surprised.

He even reached out to hold Princess Xi's hand pointing at him, and then gently patted it, "Princess, calm down."

"My suggestions are all for your own good."

"And don't say it so harshly."

"What kind of wolfish ambitions, rebellious ministers and thieves?"

"You have to understand that I am not from your 6th shelter, and I am not a subject of King Kang at all. He is just a stranger to me."

"So, I have no loyalty to him."

"And" when he said this, Qiu Tu paused and continued, "It is precisely because of this identity. Even if I help you obtain the supreme rights of the 6th Sanctuary, I will not be able to threaten you."

"Because I don't even have the legitimacy of the regime."

The expression on Princess Xi's face was still excited, but judging from the fact that she didn't withdraw her hand, Qiu Tu knew what she said and she had listened.

With this in mind, Qiu Tu continued to strike while the iron was hot. He suppressed Princess Xi's excited expression with his eyes, and then said,

"As for my purpose. Princess, have you heard the story of 'Da Yu'er' and 'Uncle Huang'?"

"During this period, the princess should have understood my reputation. I only care about people, not the country."

"After all, in my heart, beauty is much more important than country."

Princess Xi's face became even more ugly.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu knew that his stimulation tonight was in place.

So, he smiled and let go of Princess Xi's tender hand, and then said, "Princess, since you are not interested in this proposal, then just treat me as Meng Lang."

"I will help you bring the message to Mr. Tang according to the original plan."

"But whether he agrees or not, it's not up to me to decide how the Kou family will respond."

"Everything is done by yourself."

After saying that, Qiu Tu ignored Princess Xi's reaction and left the dreamland.

Seeing Qiu Tu slowly disappearing in front of her, the ugly expression on Princess Xi's face slowly disappeared and became expressionless.

She sat so majestic and dignified in the empty and huge palace conference hall for a long time.

A night of silence.

The next day, Tang Feifei woke her up early in the morning.

Seeing Qiu Tu wake up, her orange eyes narrowed slightly, and then she said provocatively, "I dreamed about you last night."

Qiu Tu smiled and said, "I also dreamed about you last night."

Tang Feifei smiled even happier, "Then just think of it as a pre-war mobilization for me."

Qiu Tu asked curiously, "Has there been any result yet?"

Tang Feifei said a cold "hmm", her wheat-colored face full of ambition, "My grandfather called me this morning. He officially issued an order."

"You sit in Xinzhou and assume the name of commander-in-chief to direct this cleaning operation."

"As the head of the military department, I commanded the new state's military department. The troops were divided into two groups, entered the disaster area, and began to clean up the leaderless disaster area."

"My grandpa's goal is to capture another 32 cities and two states."
