Chapter 3 Speculations of the person behind the scenes
"Haha! The Fourth Emperor is still so cowardly, but please respect yourself. Miss Meng will soon be your Second Emperor's sister-in-law. Tomorrow, Father will announce the marriage." The words came with a teasing tone, making Bi Yuntao turn his head. He looked at the Third Emperor Brother who was talking to the side, then waved his arm in a leisurely manner, shook off his big iron-like hand, and bowed in salute.
"I have seen the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother. It was the fourth brother who was rude and offended the beauty. It was just that the fourth brother suddenly saw the beauty so unworldly and refined. He was stunned and shocked. He was so shocked that he couldn't help but I lost my composure, and my fourth brother is here to apologize." After saying that, he also apologized to Miss Meng.
"It turns out that this is Miss Meng. She is like a fish and a goose, and she has conquered the country and the city. The second emperor brother is really lucky to marry such a beautiful woman. They are really a good match." Maybe it was the obsession just now, but there were several kinds of words in Bi Yuntao's complimenting tone. Emotions, emptiness, sourness, unwillingness, and jealousy are mixed together. The feeling is like being robbed of something you love, and you can't get it.
"Huh! Even if you can speak, I'll spare you this time. If you are causing trouble... Huh!" The second prince glared at the third prince and said. The warning in the words was obvious, but he looked at the third prince and said it. I don't know if he was warning the third prince for being arrogant, or scolding Bi Yuntao for being frivolous with a beautiful lady? ! However, it is not difficult to see that the daughter of the left prime minister is very popular with the second emperor brother. However, it is true that regardless of her beauty and one-round temperament, she is so worldly and refined. She is also the daughter of the left prime minister. If you add these to the background, you will not be happy. Disaster.
Although it was the first time for Bi Yuntao to meet these princes, they still revealed a lot of information.
"It seems that the Zuo Prime Minister has not indicated that he will side with the Second Emperor Brother. This lantern riddle will be done by Miss Meng herself. It is estimated that the Second Prince has also helped a lot, so it should not only be recruiting talents, but also maybe an olive branch extended to the Zuo Prime Minister . Brother Sanhuang spoke first and went beyond the limit, so did he speak out of turn, or did he have an ulterior motive? Is the purpose to remind others that the opportunity is only one day, and they should seize the opportunity to act?
Most of the power of the second emperor brother is mainly in the military. As long as this marriage is successful, even the power of the eldest brother will be inferior. The third emperor is even more jealous and naturally does not want to see the second emperor brother's family becoming dominant.
But does the Third Emperor Brother have other intentions? Could it be that he also wants this fairy-like woman? Or want the support of the left prime minister? Or..." Bi Yuntao, who was making excuses with several royal brothers, had his mind racing rapidly, and many possibilities came to mind at once.
The whispering voice that he heard just now came again, "It doesn't matter, he didn't mean it. It turns out that this is the infamous fourth prince. The little girl's name is Meng Ruoxi. She has met the fourth prince. The frivolous young lady just now... I won’t argue with you about the matter. However, I personally organized this conference, so please take care of yourself. Princes, the lantern riddle party is about to start, so Ruoxi left first." After saying this, she didn't look back. Say goodbye and walk towards the square in the distance. .
"Ruoxi, wait." "Hmph! Fourth Emperor Brother, you can take care of yourself." The second prince said angrily and hurriedly chased after Meng Ruoxi. "Let's go. Third Emperor Brother, let's go there too!" The eldest prince who was watching the show also called out to the third prince. "Zizizizi, Fourth Emperor brother, you are so brave. If you let Zuo Xiang and Father know, you will not be able to eat and walk away. It is a small matter to join you, but I am afraid that it will be another thirty army sticks, hahaha ." The third prince gloated and laughed, and followed closely behind the eldest prince.
"Uh!" Bi Yuntao frowned and smiled helplessly, "This group of people is really bad, making trouble everywhere, wishing that there would be one less competitor, bah! A group of sanctimonious guys, but when will the Three Emperors Brother Are you so close to the eldest brother?"
"The beauty seems to be angry. Before I could take a good look at the beauty's appearance, she left and was just savoring the soft touch of her little hands. It's a pity." With this thought, he raised his hand and smelled it under his nose.
"It smells so good. I don't know what kind of bathing device I used. I didn't wash my hands after eating today. Hahaha." Smelling the aroma between her fingers, she laughed unknowingly. Her expression matched her movements, which was extremely vulgar.
"Brother, what's so interesting? You're laughing so happily?" A sudden voice sounded from beside him. Bi Yuntao was startled and looked up and down at the man who had appeared beside him at some point. The man was covered in jewels, dressed in splendid clothes, and held a hand in his right hand. He is wearing a folding fan and a mutton-fat jade pendant hanging around his waist. He is extremely handsome and has an extraordinary temperament. At this time, the man was looking at Bi Yuntao with a wicked smile on his face.
The man looked at Bi Yuntao who was in a daze and joked again: "That woman is good-looking, are you attracted to her? I see that you have already used it. How does it feel? Is it soft? Is the skin smooth?"
When his secret was exposed, Bi Yuntao blushed and hurriedly coughed to cover it up: "Ahem, it's just vulgar and powdery. What a fuss. I didn't touch that girl, I just bumped into it accidentally. Oh, by the way. You again Who is it?"
The man originally wanted to continue joking, but when he heard Bi Yuntao's question, he suddenly became a little frustrated and replied: "My name is Meng Ruolang. Didn't I see you for two days? Did you forget about me at the last party?" We had a great conversation and we had a good relationship. You are two years older than me, so you are the eldest brother and I am the younger brother." The man had a frustrated and sad expression on his face, and there was a hint of crying in his voice.
"Ahem, how could you forget about your sworn vows?! Didn't you hurt your head after the last banquet and your reaction was a bit slow? Aren't you the eldest son of the left prime minister? You and I had a great conversation at the banquet that day. But we became sworn brothers in front of the Third Emperor Brother and several newly appointed court officials. If I remember correctly, you and I also flirted with a young lady that day."
Meng Ruolang suddenly smiled. The frustration and sadness that had appeared on his face had disappeared, and he said, "Haha, that's it." I have never visited my eldest brother since he was injured. My younger brother is here to apologize, but he seems to be fine. By the way, brother, do you know who that little lady is? "Meng Ruolang winked for a while, with a bit of amusement in his eyes. Bi Yuntao glanced at him with a strange expression. He didn't expect that this man was so handsome and human-like that he was the same as the original fourth prince. It's really It's sex! The one in love.
Meng Ruolang didn't pay attention to Bi Yuntao's weird expression, and then continued: "That little lady is quite handsome, she seems to be the concubine of the third prince Xina, but it is such a pity. I heard that she was raped and then killed that night. Zizzizi." Meng Ruolang shook her head as she spoke, feeling a pity for that little lady.
Bi Yuntao was startled when he heard this and broke into a cold sweat. "Brother, what's wrong with you? I heard that after the banquet, you were knocked unconscious and your money was taken away. Can you find the person who robbed you?"
"Ah, it's nothing. I'm just feeling a little weak recently, so I'm going to find some tonic to replenish my health. Hey, hey, hey." At this point, Bi Yuntao gave him a look that you know.
"Don't talk about being robbed. I have offended a lot of people, so it will take some effort to find them. The conference is about to start, let's talk as we go." After that, the two of them started thinking about the main hall together. Then Bi Yuntao asked again, "But the woman you mentioned who was molested by us is really the concubine of Brother Three Emperors?"
"Yes, I drank too much that night. I heard what their servants said the next day when I was returning home after breakfast at the Third Prince's place."
"Do you know what happened that night? I remember that when I was in the mood for teasing, I suddenly had a stomachache and went to the hut. I came out so dizzy that I didn't even remember what happened."
"Oh, after you went to the hut, I waited for you alone in the pavilion not far away. Then I saw that you never came back, so I went to look for you. When I found the main hall, I was dragged to drink, and then unknowingly He drank too much and slept in the third prince's mansion.
When I got home from breakfast, I heard that you were knocked unconscious and robbed last night. I originally planned to wait for you to wake up to see you, but I just got home and found out that my sister had caught you. I have been busy until now. "Meng Ruolang was talking happily at the side, but Bi Yuntao didn't say a word.
"Listening to what he said, I remember that after I came out of the hut in a daze, there were servants outside to guide me, and I followed him into a room that probably belonged to the concubine. Then I saw a half-naked woman in the room. , as soon as my mind got hot, I rushed over. The woman didn’t say anything or resist. As soon as she took off her pants, she happened to be broken by the maid. I heard the maid yelling for someone, and then I woke up from the wine. I hurriedly I ran out of the mansion, and not long after I ran, a group of masked men in black appeared and wanted to kill me. What happened next was that I traveled through time.
What Meng Ruolang said today sounded like a conspiracy, and it seemed to be a serial plan. This boy was able to convince me that I went to the hut, and then went to look for me, but failed to find me. I was led into the room of the third prince's concubine again. It was estimated that the concubine was already dead at that time. Then I, who was already lustful, would definitely do something when my head got hot. There were people watching outside the house. As long as I made a move, that The maid will push the door open, break the story, and then shout loudly to call people. As long as I am caught, I will be convicted of rape and murder. The third prince will definitely give me a copy of it to the emperor. It is estimated that even if I am Even my mother-in-law can’t save me.
But I didn't expect that I would run out of the mansion, and the people behind me probably didn't expect that I would run away either. Then he came up with a vicious plan to send people to hunt me down. After killing me, he would then create the illusion that I was being murdered for money and goods. If someone found out afterwards, they would probably only suspect that I was really being murdered for money. Even if they would suspect that It was the third prince who did it, but there is no evidence. Even if the emperor sends someone to investigate, since I was wrong first and there is no evidence, it will probably just go unnoticed.
It seems that this kid was also taken advantage of, and was forced to be a witness, and his testimony was conclusive.
If I had not died, I would not have suspected the Third Prince. After all, if the Third Prince killed me in revenge, he would not take away my money. Even if the third prince takes part in my book, the mother-in-law can still deal with it. The emperor will only blame me if he knows about this matter, and will turn around to appease the third prince. If a concubine dies, the emperor will not go into details, and this matter will only Let it go. It will only create a gap between me and the third prince. But is there a gap? Would it have been possible for the former fourth prince? So, the person behind it wanted me to die, but I didn’t expect that this wave was not the other wave. So who was the person behind it?
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that I am the third prince's pawn, and they all know that the fourth prince himself is willing to be used by the third prince. I am afraid that the purpose is to eliminate dissidents and pave the way for seizing the heir in the future.
Besides, the purpose of the banquet that day was that the third prince took in a new concubine and hired a court official. It was also to clean up the affairs of several newly appointed court officials, and he was also eager to recruit her. Although the eldest prince and the second prince were also invited, they did not go there in person. They only sent their servants to deliver gifts and then left. Could it be the work of their cronies? Assuming that they did it, what about the benefits? People are unable to afford early benefits. "Thinking of this, Bi Yuntao shook his head gently, "It can't be them. It's not good for the eldest prince and the second prince. They know that I am obedient to the third prince. Even if I try to sow discord, there won't be much benefit. The mother-in-law is a popular person around the emperor, so she will only be blamed for lax discipline. Besides, I am still a loser, my mind is full of beauties, and I have no country at all. A person who is willing to become someone else's pawn. It's hard to become a great weapon, so if you want to deal with me, it's easy, don't rush. "
"If they didn't do it, would it be possible for the third prince to do this? The third prince lost his beloved concubine and was very sad. But looking at the strange look on the third prince's face today, he might just be a plaything. And if I am caught Live, then the third prince will take part in my book, and I will be thrown into prison and sentenced. But I ran away, and then there was a plan against me. If I die, the third prince will only have a little trouble. I am not dead, The third prince will not have any trouble. On the contrary, he may still read my book. I will be scolded by the emperor. Even if the mother and concubine deal with it, the death penalty can be avoided and a beating cannot be avoided. The analysis just now There should be no problem in terms of interests, but why haven't you raised an issue yet? I don't understand!
But no matter what, if I die or die, the third prince will not get any dirty water, but will make people sympathize. And I am notorious. If I die, there will only be conclusive evidence that I was killed by the emperor or that I was killed and robbed of money. Just a difference. So this makes it clear that the third prince gained the most from the whole thing. He could eradicate an enemy without a drop of blood. It was such a good plan. So what was the starting point for the third prince to do this? "Thinking of this, Bi Yuntao glanced at Meng Ruolang who was walking in front and searching for prey, "Does he know something? "
