Yuan Xingzhou saw that the ground was in a mess, and his and her shoes, socks, and clothes were all splashed with hot water, so he called the person guarding the door to prepare new ones.
"Have you been spying on me?"
"You think so, so be it." He followed her reasoning and agreed. In fact, he didn't need to do this at all, but if he denied it, she probably wouldn't believe it and would find clues.
"You asked the eunuch chief Li Gang to contact Fu Rong and the Julu Army to take away the coffin, but you didn't inform me or let me take care of the funeral affairs of your late husband, so you planned to take him away and bury him in a hurry. Are you worried that I will be sad, or do you have some hidden agenda? ?" she asked again.
Li Gang had already reported this matter to him, and Yuan Xingzhou did not expect that it would be such a coincidence that she would happen to encounter this matter.
The use of the word "hidden love" deserves careful consideration.
Did she guess something, or did she find something through that body?
Yuan Xingzhou saw that her hands were still wet and that the rag had fallen to the ground and was already cold. He stepped forward and used the sleeve robe made of the most expensive fabric in the palace as a rag, wrapped her hands and soaked up the water for her. :"You think too much."
But she didn't want to appreciate it. When she realized his actions, she took the first step and said, "Your Majesty, please respect yourself."
His hands froze in mid-air, and the condensation on his body became thicker and thicker. The gauze drooped low, and the wind swayed gently, and his cold white skin seemed to be filled with cold air.
"Since I came to Shengjing, I feel like everything has been arranged. There is always a thread pulling me forward, but various things came one after another, which made me too busy to take care of myself, so I didn't think deeply about the doubts."
She spoke slowly, as if she was sorting out what happened recently: "No, instead of coming to Shengjing, maybe the origin of the matter can be traced back to joining the Jichun Craftsmen's Guild in Julu Kingdom. Yu Wensheng had The purpose was to go to Yongchun City, but he clearly wanted to steal secrets, but why did he go with the craftsmen of Chang Xunpo who participated in the Jichun Craftsmen's Union? The Julu Kingdom was already eyeing him, but he brought with him the outstanding characteristics of Several people - Wang Zebang, Wei Yao and others, are undoubtedly exposing themselves to others."
After hearing this, Yuan Xingzhou was noncommittal and said coldly: "Maybe he has his own ideas."
"What was his idea? Did he take the initiative to fall into the enemy's trap, or did he go to the tiger mountain knowing that there were tigers in the mountains, or did he send you, a failed assassin, back from the Julu Kingdom to the Chang Tong Po Prison in the Ye Kingdom with great difficulty... …”
Some things cannot be traced back. Once you peel off the cocoon, it will be extremely scary to think about it.
"Does he really not know your true identity? General Yu Wensheng is a peerless master that everyone is afraid of, but they sent you as an assassin to deal with him. Is this a self-inflicted trap, or are you just a lure? To deliberately create a conflict to drive a wedge between King Ye and Yu Wensheng?"
"That's a good analysis, continue." Yuan Xingzhou smiled and did not refute anything.
Zheng Quchi did not stop: "Yu Wensheng is not stupid. Even if he didn't react on the spot, he would definitely have doubts afterwards. Your identity cannot be hidden at all, but he did not tell King Ye about you, nor did he He killed you, but kept you locked in the dungeon of the camp. Is he planning something or plotting something?"
yuan That’s why you haven’t dealt with me?”
Zheng Quchi's eyes were focused on his face: "Impossible. If there is nothing worthy of his attention in you, and with his temper, all assassins will be executed and will not be given space in the dungeon. There are so many people who assassinate him every year, but Look at the whole dungeon, apart from you, is there any assassin who is locked up alive?"
Yuan Xingzhou raised his eyes and expressed his agreement: "That makes sense."
rational?
Do you want to send her away just by saying "that makes sense"?
Something was brewing in Zheng Quchi's mind, and doubts were forming in her brows. She had a busy day at work today and was a little tired from standing and talking, so she walked to the table and sat down.
At this time, Qiu and Dong brought a pair of brand new men's and women's shoes and socks and dry wipes. After asking outside the door, they were allowed in. They lowered their eyes and bowed, squatting down to serve, but were stopped by Zheng Quchi.
She was not used to others doing these private things for her: "I can do it myself. You can go down."
"Yes, ma'am."
Qiu and Dong did not hesitate at all to her order and directly ignored the other person in the room.
Zheng Quchi sat down, took off his shoes and socks neatly, wiped his feet with a handkerchief, and put on new ones.
After doing everything, she saw Yuan Xingzhou standing there without moving: "Don't want to change?"
"Are you concerned about me?"
"Would you like to change it?" she said angrily.
Yuan Xingzhou walked to her and sat down, taking off his shoes and socks without any help. Zheng Quchi, who was still thinking about something, paused for a moment when his eyes inadvertently glanced at his feet: "Your feet..."
"My feet?" Yuan Xingzhou didn't know why.
A few pictures suddenly flashed through her mind, and then she dug her palms with her nails. She didn't let her expression show any more strangeness, and only twitched the corners of her mouth: "It's quite white, but you are too thin. You don't usually take good care of yourself." Want to eat?”
"No."
"Sometimes you have to eat even if you can't eat. Yu Wen Sheng is also a person who doesn't like to eat. Every time in order to coax him to eat, I have to cook and make some appetizers myself. Only then will he be willing to be more respectful and humble. After eating a few bites, not only are you as thin as him, but you also have the same picky eater and small appetite..."
At this point, she stopped.
Yuan Xingzhou stopped talking after hearing her words, and instead stared at his feet fascinated. He felt something was wrong, so he quickly put on his clothes: "You treat him with care, but why are you always unwilling to accept him?" ?”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to be particularly interested in our couple's relationship. He knows everything about things that no one else knows." Zheng Quchi's tone suddenly became sharper.
Yuan Xingzhou said calmly: "Because I care, I will naturally take the initiative to understand."
She stood up and looked serious: "Let's go back to the previous topic. If Yu Wensheng knows your origin and identity, he will definitely guess that there is an unprecedented conspiracy being implemented against him. In addition, the Julu Kingdom will definitely not He gave up such a good opportunity to encircle and suppress him, and during his trip, he found himself in a dangerous conspiracy. In the end, he was besieged and killed by a coalition of forces from all sides, and died at the border of Julu Kingdom."
"His death sounds like a fatal situation, but in fact it may not be... But why did it come to this point in the end?"
When she asked herself, Yuan Xingzhou answered her: "Yu Wensheng is just a person. He may not be able to predict everything like a god. You are going back to the past from the results, but if a person was at the time, he may not be able to predict everything." Such a clear mind.”
His words were reasonable, but Zheng Quchi still felt that something was not right: "He knew full well at that time that if he took me away with him, he would encounter many difficulties. There were heavy troops at Julu Pass, and the people supported by Beiyuan Gong Loser were also on the way, but he But he was so conceited that he sent everyone back to Ye, leaving behind not the martial arts masters Runtu or Wei, but Fu Rong, who was mediocre in martial arts and better at intelligence and disguise..."
Why Fu Rong? (End of chapter)
