If Huang Qiong remembered correctly, when King Jing was approached by the mastermind behind the scenes, it was the beginning of Queen Daxing's lingering on the sickbed. But even with the queen around, that person didn't dare to go too far. But to be able to tolerate such a huge deal for so many years with such a huge handle in his hand shows how scheming this person is. Even myself is far inferior.
But is the inside story of this matter really that simple? Did he plan and implement everything by himself? Huang Qiong admitted that a prince who was only thirteen years old and was a middle school student who knew nothing about anything in his previous life would have to face most things alone after leaving the palace and settling in the palace. This is quite a challenge for a growing person.
Huang Qiong knew very well the emperor's character and his methods of educating his sons. He would never interfere in some matters that seemed trivial to him at least. As long as it was within his control, he would even condone some things. After all, he also came through a more difficult situation alone. In his opinion, proper beating is more conducive to the growth of boys.
But everything has two sides, and indeed this method can help a person grow quickly. But not everyone will truly grow up as their father expects. When you suddenly start to face that kind of intrigue life, coupled with the colorful world outside, it may not be suitable for everyone.
Some people will certainly get real growth and experience in it. Even if you can't really do something for the country and the people, you still know what you should do. But some people, under the temptation of the colorful world outside, can do nothing but drink and play with women. Therefore, Huang Qiong does not deny that truly thoughtful people will grow in that kind of environment.
But Huang Qiong was a little unconvinced that he had paved such a big road in just a few years and had developed such scheming skills. Even if he is a prince, even if he is the legitimate son of the middle palace, he has the ability to reach into the palace. But a prince who had only been out of the palace for a few years was actually able to make an official work for him wholeheartedly, and even fell in love with his own daughter despite the fact that he had a prince.
And planned such a big drama, but Huang Qiong didn't believe it no matter what. How can He De convince others of a prince who is so young that no one can see what the future will be like? How much money do you have to build and support such a large force? No matter when, having no money is absolutely impossible. Without huge financial resources, why would you let people work for you?
Not to mention anything else, just from the chance encounter between King Jing and Concubine Shen, to Concubine Shen entering the palace, and then meeting again by chance after drinking, it took more than just scheming and skill to accomplish all of this. What's more, there are so many things to follow. And King Jing is not alone in this situation.
It is very possible that King Duan in Ruzhou has been in a similar situation to King Jing in recent years. He tightly controlled the two kings, and even recruited people from all over the world to form the so-called Thirteenth Iron Guard Battalion to do some unforgettable things for him privately. These things cannot be accomplished overnight, but can be accomplished by one person in a short period of time.
Could it be that there are other people, or even a huge group, behind him? If so, who is the person or group that can help him accomplish all this? Thinking of this, Huang Qiong couldn't help but feel terrified. This person's scheming is deep enough now. If there is more external help, what will this person's power be now?
There is also the person behind him who is in the court, and even the power hidden in the palace is enough to scare people. And who is the person behind this? Why was he chosen among many princes, and what was the purpose of doing so? Huang Qiong doesn't believe that there is such a thing as helping others in this world. The truth is to be courteous for nothing and to be either a traitor or a thief.
Seeing that this muddy water is getting more and more muddy, how many unknown things are hidden under the water, and how many forces are involved in this battle for the throne? Huang Qiong, who has now developed a state of mind that is certain that the mountain will fall to his left without changing his mind, can't help but feel a little confused and his head is as big as a bucket.
Although King Jing's words were somewhat provocative, in Huang Qiong's view, most of them were still true. At least from now on, I am afraid that except for his appointment as the envoy to deal with Zhengzhou and King Jing's last bite, this person's calculations can be regarded as exhaustive. Everything he experienced when he left the palace actually became the object of his strength.
This shows that from the first day he left the palace, he became one of his many schemes. From the sudden appearance of the aphrodisiac incense to the conflict between himself and the prince. Including abducting the emperor out of the palace and going to the refugee area, it became a means for him to scheme and even use his strength to gain strength. This person's scheming is really terrifying.
It was the first time that Huang Qiong's mind was so confused. He stood up and picked up the cold jade beaded piece that he had specially brought with him before the expedition and was currently on his wrist. He held it in his hand and kept turning it. Trying to rely on the chills coming from the palm of his hand to calm down in the shortest possible time. But the chill from this string of beads was obviously not enough to calm Huang Qiong down.
Huang Qiong, who couldn't sleep anyway, simply walked out of the room where he lived and looked at the stars in the sky. The chilly autumn wind blowing outside quickly cooled down my head. But just as Huang Qiong walked out of her bedroom, she didn't expect that someone was following behind her.
The footsteps behind him were not heard by Liu Hu. Huang Qiong frowned and turned around, but he didn't expect that the person following him was actually the third senior sister among the two beauties given to him by King Jing. At this time, the third senior sister had already taken off her previous heavy makeup and put on normal clothes.
Her hair was simply pulled into a bun at the back of her head and tied with a white cloth belt, indicating that she was currently wearing a mourning hat. Looking at the woman in front of him who was still radiant even after the beauty was washed away, Huang Qiong originally wanted to let her go back, but remembering her conversation with Mrs. Fan, she finally took it back. . He just said casually: "Who asked you to come?"
Although this woman was said to have a rough background, she had received some special training in the Thirteenth Iron Guard Battalion. Although that kind of training was for a special purpose, it also taught this girl some etiquette. In addition, this woman is quite well-behaved and does not have the wild nature of ordinary Jianghu people.
Seeing Huang Qiong, who looked a little hesitant, he quickly knelt down and said: "If you want to reply to the prince, Mrs. Fan will be the guarantor. After discussing with Guard Wang and Guard Liu, the four of us sisters will serve as guarantors during this period." Your bodyguards. The four of us senior sisters will serve as your personal bodyguards in turn, and they will only obey Guard Liu. Your original bodyguards will only be responsible for peripheral defense from now on."
Hearing the woman's answer, Huang Qiong raised his hand to let her stand up first, then shook his head and said: "It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous. How can I be a man who travels with four beautiful female guards every day?" Madam Fan is making such nonsense, why are Liu Hu and Dalong also making trouble together? Besides, if you don’t go to keep vigil for your master, why are you here with me?”
When Huang Qiong finished speaking, the woman was startled by Huang Qiong's words. She thought that the young prince in front of her was dissatisfied with the fact that several of her fellow apprentices and sisters served as his bodyguards, so she hurriedly knelt down again and said: "Your Majesty, this is not strange. Mrs. Fan. She came up with this strategy because she felt pity for the slaves, who were now helpless, and was afraid that the slaves would fall into the trap again. "
"After you came out of seclusion today, Mr. Fan and Mrs. Fan talked with several slaves. They said that His Royal Highness the King of England would not forget the past evils and agreed to take in some of our senior sisters. Let us follow the King of England from now on. Your Highness, please prevent yourself from wandering around the world and being taken advantage of by traitors. From now on, our fellow apprentices and sisters will take turns serving as your personal bodyguards."
"Originally, tonight was the rotation between me and the senior sister, but the senior sister is currently keeping vigil for the master, and she is afraid of being filial to the prince. The two younger junior sisters were a little frightened yesterday, and their emotions were somewhat unstable. Liu Weiwei was afraid They disturbed the prince. Therefore, only the servants are here tonight."
Huang Qiong could only smile bitterly and shake his head at the woman's answer: "Don't kneel down all the time. I don't like this, so you'd better get up first. Since you're here, it's not time to go to bed yet." , this courtyard is big enough, you can walk around and talk in this courtyard with me first."
It's just that Huang Qiong said he wanted to talk, but if he didn't speak, how could the woman behind him dare to speak first? After walking for a while and blowing in the cold wind, Huang Qiong felt that the irritability in her heart had subsided a lot. After realizing that the woman behind him had not spoken, he stopped. Without turning around, he turned his back to her and said, "Let me tell you first, what are your names and where are your homes?"
When the third senior sister heard Huang Qiong's question, she didn't dare to hesitate when answering. But thinking of the destroyed sect, he said with a somewhat sad tone: "Our senior sister's surname is Lin, and her name is Wanqing, and our maid's surname is Zhu, and her name is Xing'er. The third and fourth junior sisters' surnames are He, and the eldest one is called Qing. Ping, the younger one is called You Ping. This servant and the two junior sisters all come from the same master."
"There was a huge change in Baishatang, and Master disappeared. My two junior sisters and I were helpless and were taken into the 13th Iron Guard Battalion by our uncle. As for our family background, Master is actually our only relative. When I was six years old, In 2007, both my parents contracted an epidemic and died. If Master hadn't happened to pass by, took pity on me for being helpless and took me back to Baishatang, I would have starved to death on the roadside."
"Daping and Xiaoping are the orphans brought back by the Master from the Salesian Bureau, and they have the surname of the Master. My Master is the only female disciple of the previous generation of Baisha Hall. She has three sisters and us under her. The Master has never become a mature student in his life. Dear, always treat us as your own flesh and blood."
"Originally, we thought that Baisha Hall was our home, and we would never leave Baisha Hall in our lives. But now that Baisha Hall has been wiped out, the master is missing, and we sisters don't know where to go. If the King of England hadn't been willing to take us in, what would have happened? The world is so big, we senior sisters really don’t know where to go.”
Myolie Zhu's answer was that Huang Qiong, who had always had his back to her, turned around and smiled lightly: "It's not necessarily possible that the master's sect will be wiped out. Maybe someone has been thinking about you." After saying that, Myolie Zhu in front of him had not yet reacted to the meaning of his words. Huang Qiong suddenly stretched out a hand and touched her acupuncture point as fast as lightning.
After focusing on the woman in front of him, he casually snatched the sword from her hand. Huang Qiongcai calmly raised his head and said to a towering tree behind him: "Since Your Excellency is here, why hide your head and show your tail? Since you care so much about this woman, why don't you come down and see me? If Your Excellency can convince me, these four women You can just take it away."
