After the Gu family and his son left, Zheng Cheng brought ginseng soup to the emperor who was taking a nap on the couch. Seeing that the emperor took a few sips, he lay down again with his forehead in his hands. Zheng Cheng stood behind him and gently massaged his temples.
After pressing the button for a long time, the emperor, who closed his eyes and rested, relaxed his frown:
"Do you think what Gu Qingyun said just now is credible?"
Zheng Cheng's hand movements did not stop at all, he bowed slightly and spoke softly:
"The spies have been secretly watching the General's Mansion for many years and have never found anything suspicious. General Anbei has risked his life to protect His Majesty today. This shows that the Gu family is loyal to Your Majesty. General Gu's words should be trustworthy."
"Gu Qingyun said that today's assassins are not like Mobei people, and their moves feel similar, but he can't prove it. If they are not Mobei people, who would want to assassinate me?"
"General Gu also said that it was just a feeling, not sure. The Mobei people put so much effort into raising such a group of spies, so they must not be able to see the shadow of the Mobei people. Maybe General Gu is overthinking it. Your Majesty, you don't need to bother. Each government The nursing homes have a regulated number of people and they are all registered. If they are not from Mobei, who can support so many assassins?"
When the emperor heard this, his eyelids slowly opened, and the light in his slightly cloudy eyeballs slowly gathered:
"What Gu Qingyun said is not impossible."
Zheng Cheng's hand paused for a moment, pretending not to hear, and continued the movement of his hand in silence until he pushed the emperor to sleep. Zheng Cheng sent people to guard the palace, raised his feet and walked out of the hall, looked up at the sky and murmured sighed:
"It's going to change."
The chamberlain guarding the door turned his head to look at Zheng Cheng's walking back, then looked up at the clear sky:
Manager Zheng must have seen it wrong...
Zheng Cheng rolled up one sleeve and walked to a deserted place. After waiting for a moment, Cheng Yan appeared and saluted:
"You're looking for me?"
"Bring out all the spies and hidden guards, and send a few more with the best skills to His Majesty's side. The rest will go to these places to investigate carefully."
Cheng Yan took the paper, opened it, stuffed it into his arms, saluted, looked around for no one, and left in a hurry.
The Duke's Mansion.
Qin Guogong, Qin Guojiu, Qin Zongliang and the prince gathered together in the study to spy after leaving the palace.
The prince held the cup and said sadly:
"Seeing that Chu Chengyao's chance to go to court has been cut off, and the Ministry of Punishment is also in the bag, the Mobei people appear out of thin air to disrupt the situation and completely ruin the good situation. If the Mobei people admit all the crimes, Chu Chengyao will be able to If we pass the matter to the people of Mobei and clear the name of Quan Quan, the Ministry of Punishment may have to pay it back to Chu Chengyao."
Qin Zongliang looked at the incense burner with slowly rising smoke on the table not far away, and his tone was calm and calm:
"The appearance of the Mobei people is too coincidental. Whether it is the timing or the testimony, everything is beneficial to King Jin. Shengsheng helped King Jin break this deadlock."
Uncle Qin: "Liang'er, what do you mean by this?"
"I just sigh that King Jin's luck seems to be unusually good. King Jin is not only hypocritical and cunning, but also tolerant and suspicious. I personally designed the layout of yesterday's full moon banquet based on his temperament. All the links are linked together even if he If any move didn't work, I also thought of other options. But he fell into the trap according to the trap I set, but he was able to break through it unscathed. I still haven't figured out how he helped Lin Jinyan get out of the trap. Or maybe he didn't catch the scent at all and was just acting for us?"
Uncle Qin said in shock: "So, he knew about your plan and took the incense for Lin Jinyan in advance. He also told him and Lin Jinyan that he and Lin Jinyan were being plotted. He deliberately pretended to be tricked and waited in the side courtyard just to show Lin Jinyan. What are you going to do?" (End of Chapter)
