The rebirth of Jiangshan is hired

Mu Qiu didn't expect this to come up at first, but when he pointed it out, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and couldn't help coughing twice: "Your Highness—don't be joking..."

"Where am I joking, didn't you cheat me first?"

Song Zichen put his face on the ground in a serious manner, tapped the edge of the bowl twice, raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the obedient person in front of him who was trying to get a bargain, but he couldn't help laughing first: "It's really enough for the two of us—— I picked up a little uncle from a thousand miles away, and I still have to admit it, do you think this is asking for trouble?"

"It's probably counted, but it's good for everyone. It's a good thing that Su Tuhe can also have a place to live."

Mu Qiu shook his head with a smile, bowed his head and took two mouthfuls of food, and then said after a while: "Your Highness, let's eat quickly, if His Highness hasn't finished eating when Marquis Yunhui comes, I'm afraid he will be reprimanded by the Marquis again." , Said His Highness got up too late and didn’t work hard enough.”

"Okay, okay, don't make sarcastic remarks here. If Marquis Yunhui really becomes your grandfather, we two brothers and sisters will be scolded obediently with our heads down."

Song Zichen couldn't help laughing, tapped his forehead lightly, and replied warmly, but also speeded up his eating.He licked his mouth a few times, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Mu Qiu——what if Master Hou insists on seeing you, do you want to see him?"

"If Master Hou really insists on seeing me, it's not up to me whether I want to see him or not."

Mu Qiu couldn't help laughing, shook his head helplessly, picked up his teacup and took a sip, his expression became a bit more solemn: "I was seriously ill yesterday, I'm afraid the news has almost spread to the court, and I'm going to be the prince of Yunhui. I am afraid that there is nothing in the palace that can be hidden from him. If he knows all these things clearly, the matter of the ninth princess...would he already know about it?"

"By the way—how did I forget about this?"

Song Zichen's complexion changed slightly, and he slapped himself on the head, with a little anxiety in his eyes, he got up and paced back and forth: "Marquis Yunhui has always been ruthless, and it is rare for him to be lenient. If she really gets mad at her, I'm afraid her life in the Hou Mansion will not be easy..."

"Right now we don't quite know what Hou Yunhui's attitude is towards the emperor."

Mu Qiu pondered for a while and replied slowly, his eyes became a little stern, dipped the end of his chopsticks in some tea, and drew a simple diagram on the table: "From the forces we know now, your majesty I am on one side, the eldest prince is on the other side, the third prince has now broken with Marquis Yunhui, and we can be regarded as one side alone. Although we do not want to stand out, we have already faintly become one side... Marquis Yunhui's attitude is unclear, and he vaguely wants to lean towards His Highness Under the circumstances, it is not surprising that the emperor's attitude towards His Highness has improved and he even intends to win him over."

"It makes sense. To put it bluntly, the father is not sure - our sons are either lacking in ambition or full of ambition. If this continues, it will really be a headache for his old man."

Song Zichen nodded in agreement, sat up straight after thinking for a moment, and looked at the person in front of him seriously: "Mu Qiu, do you think Yun Huihou wants to fight against my father? To be honest, I think he If he wanted to fight against my father, I'm afraid he would have done so long ago. But he didn't make any moves, as if he was content with the status quo, and his father would like to ignore his temptations..."

"Has Your Highness ever seen a tiger?"

Mu Qiu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him, with a slight smile in his eyes, shook his head lightly and said: "The tigers that need to be most vigilant are not the hungry tigers that choose to eat, but those that seem to be Sleeping, throwing a stone or smashing a stick at the body, there will be no reaction to the sleeping tiger... And Yun Huihou is probably such a sleeping tiger, if the emperor didn't touch his bottom line, he might have been like this all the time. Your majesty is going to live in peace. If there is a day when swords and soldiers are really facing each other, I'm afraid there will be no room for relaxation."

"That makes sense—it's true..."

Song Zichen thought about it for a while, and then nodded in complete convincing.Mu Qiu waited for him to understand thoroughly before continuing: "And what I'm worried about in my heart is actually exactly this point - although the ninth princess is not the mastermind this time, and she was coerced by the third prince, after all, she is married The daughter-in-law of the residence of Marquis Yunhui. If the emperor really intends to deal with Marquis Yunhui, he will definitely not let this opportunity pass by."

"So once the father reaches the bottom line of Marquis Yunhui, it will probably lead to a confrontation between the two sides... If we are in the middle again at this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape smoothly."

Song Zichen immediately understood what he meant, his eyes sank unconsciously, and he replied in a low voice.Mu Qiu also nodded slightly, wiped off the water stains on the table, and drew three circles again: "Look, Your Highness—if the smallest circle is us, then Yunhuihou and the emperor are the other two. Both of them have their own hidden strengths, and we can't fully find out, but given that the two sides have confronted each other for so long and have not made any moves, I am afraid that they are still comparable in strength. At this time, although the circle of His Highness is small, it is unexpected. I have guessed that the two sides are above the balance point, and if I lean a little to one side, this fragile balance will be completely broken..."

"I just wanted to join in the fun and find a backer to avoid the limelight. Why was I pushed to this place without knowing it?"

Song Zichen blinked his eyes in astonishment, feeling that the world is impermanent, he couldn't help but sighed heavily, and rubbed his forehead in distress: "Xiao Jiu is really adding to the chaos, if it doesn't happen sooner or later, it just happens now... Isn't this causing trouble for me?"

"It may not be so——Does Your Highness really think that the Emperor is such a person who is easy to deceive and frame?"

Mu Qiu responded meaningfully, finally pushed away the cup of tea that he had had enough of playing with, and changed himself to a cup of tea, slightly lowered his eyes and said slowly: "Your Highness, don't forget, because of what happened back then, the emperor is right. They are especially concerned about eating and drinking, and even the personal eunuchs have to taste the food... With such a level of vigilance, will the emperor believe that the nine princesses have given a tip? Even if they really intend to ease the relationship, the big deal is to accept it Just get up, so why bother to hang it up?"

"Yeah—how did I forget about this..."

Song Zichen's expression froze, he shivered subconsciously, and then shook his head incredulously: "But at that time, I clearly saw that the father was angry. Could it be that he was even pretending to be angry? At that time, there were only a few of us, and the father pretended to be angry. For whom?"

"If you really don't know anything, the emperor's anger will definitely be much heavier than it is now. How can you hold it up so high and put it down gently, and even now you haven't really dealt with anyone..."

Mu Qiu shook his head slightly, sighed softly, and smiled helplessly: "If I guessed correctly, the only thing that the emperor missed was that the poison could have hurt me so much...except In addition, the rest should be under the control of the emperor. Detonate everything at the right time, and then use this matter to lead the fire from the nine princesses to Yunhuihou's mansion. If the nine princesses are too far away Not enough, we can add another third prince—but at such a critical moment, the third prince suddenly broke up with Marquis Yunhui..."

"I understand...you're right. When the queen mother passed away, the emperor beheaded several people in a fit of anger. Now that he has something to do, it's impossible for him to be so tolerant."

Song Zichen nodded with lingering fear, responded in a low voice, then frowned and said, "But--then what should we do now? Since Song Zixuan has broken up with Marquis Yunhui so thoroughly, this line has undoubtedly been broken. It's broken. No matter what, there is a layer of separation from Xiaojiu's side, and it's a non-existent excuse. If the Yunhui Hou Mansion really wants to make an excuse, it's just a crime to withdraw people at will. In this way, father Isn't the emperor's plan in vain?"

"Could it be that His Highness still hopes in his heart that the emperor didn't intend to fight in vain, and finally fight with Marquis Yunhui?"

Mu Qiu smiled helplessly, shook his head slightly, and said, "The fire is almost extinguished right now. What Your Highness is doing now is naturally not to add firewood to it, but to go up and step on it quickly. So that this matter If there is no quarrel, even if there is a quarrel, it will be on the head of the third prince, and Yun Huihou will be picked out - this matter must be clarified by His Highness, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe in the future. "

"Yes, yes—I forgot about it."

Only then did Song Zichen come to his senses, nodded quickly, smiled wryly and said helplessly, "Although I haven't been able to figure out exactly how things developed afterwards, I can at least be sure that in the end, Emperor Father failed to fight against Song Zixuan and Marquis Yunhui's...if we let them fight at this time, the situation will become more and more unfavorable."

"Actually, even in the previous life, in the later period, the third prince seemed to be in harmony with Hou Yunhui, not as close as before."

Mu Qiu responded in a low voice, with a little thought in his eyes, and slowed down his voice: "But——the two of them shouldn't fall out..."

"It's not surprising that the two of them fell out. After all, Master Ling has a temper that is sure to interfere in everything. Even if Song Zixuan really becomes the emperor, he will probably be under his control. But where is Song Zixuan?" Can you stand the temper controlled by others?"

Song Zichen responded, and quickly took a few mouthfuls of rice, picked some food for the person who was lost in his own thoughts, and patted the back of his hand lightly: "Mu Qiu, don't think about these things just yet. It's over. It's rare to see you have a good meal, and there is no time to discuss anything after the meal, don't you think?"

When Mu Qiu was patted on the shoulder by him, he suddenly reacted, smiled helplessly, and nodded lightly: "Your Highness is right—don't think about it, let's eat."
