After the cannon fodder prince collapsed, the country will not perish

Xiao Di raised his eyebrows.

He didn't expect Xie Qingci to be so straightforward.

He didn't expect Xie Qingci to suspect him.

When he defended himself in front of outsiders just now, didn't he speak with certainty?

Now locked up, but with a menacing look on his face about to be interrogated.

Brother's serious appearance is really cute and tight, which makes people want to... offend...

Xiao Di deliberated for a while, and leaned over to Xie Qingci's ear with a smile: "Didn't your Highness also say that if I did this, how could you pick lotus flowers on purpose to show off?"

Xiao Di's breath tickled his ears.

Xie Qingci's eyes narrowed, but the search in his eyes did not diminish at all.

What he said in front of everyone coincided with the thoughts of most people.

But he is too aware of Xiao Di's madness, this person has always been unreasonable, and he has no psychological burden on killing people in the battlefield. Maybe it is not impossible to pick flowers and leaves suddenly after the attack.

At this time, Xiao Di was twitching the corners of his mouth, and his dark and deep eyes were full of arrogance.

Xie Qingci's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and he fixed his gaze on Xiao Di: "You mean, this matter has nothing to do with you?"

The corners of Xiao Di's lips curled up, and he looked at Xie Qingci with great interest.

"This king hates being deceived by others the most." Xie Qingci took a deep look at him, and said slowly: "Xiao Di, since you said that this matter has nothing to do with you, this king really believes it."

Looking at Xie Qingci's back, Xiao Di couldn't help but lick his lips slightly as he thought of someone who would bite his own king every time.

The sickly little Highness, really wants to discipline and restrain himself?

Xiao Di narrowed his eyes slightly.

But this beating, he really listened to it a bit.

Since my brother doesn't like people who lie and deceive, then if he has something to hide from now on, he will just silence all those who know.

Then... it will never reveal its flaws.

Although the emperor wanted to cultivate the prince's resistance and tried his best to support the king of Chu, but after all, the king of Chu was young and it was the first time he was undertaking a major event. In the Yan family, it was inevitable that there would be a lot of panic.

And...the last time before Yan Ming's death, the two broke up unhappily, and Yan Ming was brutally murdered after that... King Chu was terrified and dazed during the funeral, almost unable to stand still.

All this naturally fell into Yan Pingrong's eyes.

The emperor asked the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate the matter, but after investigating for a long time, it was still only found that Yan Ming's wounds were caused by being beaten. The cause of death was killing the lungs with a sharp weapon... The water washed away without leaving any information.

Yan Pingrong couldn't do anything except yell at her.

At this time, since he had already become suspicious of the King of Chu, the details of the King Chu's funeral were deeply meaningful in his eyes.

The king of Chu lost his mind during the funeral. Most likely there was a ghost in his heart. For a simple murder case, the Ministry of Criminal Justice could not help evading and saying that the water was submerged to cover up the traces of the murder. It was probably covered up by an unspeakable murderer...

He asked the people in the palace to inquire about the results of the King of Chu's exam. As expected, the answer sheet was scribbled and perfunctory, and one could see through the paper that his thoughts had gone far.

At this time, Yan Pingrong had completely cut off his doubts about Xiao Di, and devoted all his attention to the King of Chu.

But he is only a minister after all, and what he can do is extremely limited.

What he can do is to alienate Concubine An, whom he had wooed in every possible way before, and bitterly said at home: "When I met the world in Taixue, I looked down on my Yan family, and even committed murder! Ten years in the east of the river and ten years in the west of the river, Let's just wait and see, without our Yan family, what kind of trouble can he, a concubine prince, cause!"

The King of Chu was originally indifferent to the Yan family, and the Yan family had such thoughts, so they naturally went further and further away.

Yan Ming's funeral is over, and under the secret instigation of Concubine An Gui, the King of Chu has become a master at Taixue.

Liu Hui happened to teach Taixue's military and horse lessons, and became the person the King of Chu wanted to win over at this moment.

Liu Hui also seemed to have this idea. He often had secret talks with the King of Chu. After coming and going, Liu Hui seemed to be a member of the King of Chu's camp.

After class that day, Liu Hui called to stop Xiao Di and led him to his palace house to be on duty.

Young people headed by the King of Chu always come here to discuss knowledge with Liu Hui after class, but Xiao Di has never set foot here once.

Liu Hui looked at Xiao Di, with a look of approval on his face: "The last exam, guess what your score is."

Xiao Di raised his eyes, his face calm.

Obviously not intending to cooperate with answering his boring questions.

Liu Hui didn't mind either, and laughed loudly: "Xiao Di, you have the best grades among those in Taixue. Your marching speed and terrain analysis are all impeccable."

"You, you were born to go to the battlefield, just like your father, leading troops to conquer the city and shocking all directions."

When mentioning his father, Xiao Di's eyes suddenly filled with complicated emotions.

"I spent some time in the military camp before, and I was lucky enough to get better grades than my classmates." Xiao Di said lightly, "It's nothing."

"No! Master, I have fought so many battles, can't I see your aptitude? It's a pity to talk about your father..."

Liu Hui looked at Xiao Di's expression while talking.

But no matter in the face of praise or regret, Xiao Di always withdraws indifferently from the beginning to the end.

Liu Hui paused for a moment, then asked another question: "Now you are following His Highness in the palace, do you have any plans?"

What do you think by my brother's side...

A trace of hoarseness flashed across Xiao Di's eyes, and his voice finally rose and fell: "Naturally, we must serve His Highness wholeheartedly."

Liu Hui clenched his fist lightly, and then smiled again: "It's good for you to have this kind of heart, but the world is changing more quickly than the battlefield, and the path you eventually take may not be what you want at this moment."

The words were so confusing that Xiao Di couldn't help but look at him.

Liu Hui's voice became deeper and deeper, and he leaned closer to Xiao Di and said, "Your Highness is arrogant and domineering, I heard that you are allowed to sleep next to his bed at night?"

Xiao Di raised his eyes suddenly, his voice was a little colder.

"How did Mr. know about this?"

Liu Hui only thought that Xiao Di didn't want the scandal to spread, so he shook his head slightly and said, "Do you think you can save face by swallowing your anger without telling everyone? If you want to save a man's face, you can only plan your own resistance!"

Xiao Di narrowed his eyes, but he was thinking about something else.

Even if he knew about Xie Qingci's footsteps, someone must have planted a nail in Liuyun Palace.

Previously, Pang Zhang was placed by Yan's family. He tampered with the horse and almost killed Xie Qingci.

If these people want to play tricks in Liuyun Palace again, how can Xie Qingci's body withstand it?

Gradually a cold feeling appeared in his heart, but his face became more gentle and courteous.

Liu Hui only thought that his own words entered Xiao Di's heart: "Go back and think about the way to go. How can a seven-foot man sleep on the feet of others and suffer such humiliation?"

Xiao Di glanced at him lightly, but didn't respond.

This man's hands are really long, and he dared to reach between him and his brother to make a difference.

"You are the son of the God of War, don't forget that this country should have half of your Xiao family!" Seeing Xiao Di's silence, Liu Hui whispered more meaningfully: "Even if you become a sparrow under the fence, you can't forget it." A lofty ambition!"

What Liu Hui said didn't seem like he was supporting the prince, but rather that he wanted to vote for another Ming lord.

Xiao Di said calmly, "According to Mr., do you want me to seek refuge with the King of Chu?"

In the past few days, Liu Hui has gotten closer and closer to the King of Chu, which is obvious to all.

"The king of Chu is young and has great ambitions, so he is a good candidate." Liu Hui smiled vaguely: "It's just that he is not so good as to let the old man be loyal to dogs and horses."

"Besides, I know that you and the King of Chu are not in harmony, so how could I wrong you and make you submit to him?"

These words moved Xiao Di's heart, and he pondered: "I see that Mr. Chu has a very close relationship with the King of Chu..."

"After all, he is the prince. The old man didn't like him, but his identity." Liu Hui didn't hide it, and said directly: "I naturally know what the king of Chu is thinking. Since he has the idea of ​​seizing the throne, then I will help him."

After Xiao Di listened, he vaguely saw through Liu Hui's plot.

Probably he wanted to follow the example of Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao in the Han Dynasty, keeping the King of Chu in front of him and controlling him as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

The king of Chu was young and innocent, and was instigated by his mother so high-minded, he was really a good candidate.

It's just that Liu Hui will definitely not be in charge of this matter, and I don't know who is behind the manipulation?

Xiao Di was deliberating in his heart, but on the face he pretended to be surprised and said: "Sir, you really have far-reaching thoughts."

Seeing Xiao Di's indifference just now, Liu Hui looked eager to try in his eyes, and then lowered his voice and said: "I won't hide it from you, many of our people have taken refuge in the King of Chu. Your Majesty doesn't like the Crown Prince, and I can't wait to see someone Competing with each other, we act in the name of the King of Chu, so we can be less suspicious. When Xie's father and son are separated from each other, we can take advantage of the situation to get rid of the prince and others, and after the overall situation of supporting the King of Chu is settled, we can draw from the bottom..."

Liu Hui was extremely determined, Xiao Di, who was accused of being the son of a traitor general and lived in humiliation at Xie Qingci's place, must be desperately looking for a good chance to turn himself around.

His frank confession will definitely win over the young man who has nothing to rely on at the moment.

Xiao Di lowered his eyes, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes.

If it was in the past, this would be a good plan.

But now, the scene of Xie Qingci carefully giving his elder brother some cinnabar during the Dragon Boat Festival a few days ago is what churned in his mind.

This person actually wants to design people who His Highness cares about to kill each other?

In front of Liu Huizhi's face, which he must win, suddenly looked hideous.
