"I am a coward in a female channel novel"
Chapter 18:
Even if someone wants to try to prevent the imperial examination from proceeding, it must continue. He cannot let it come true no matter what.
After Qian Wensheng and Wei Wei entered the camp, within a short while, they each left the camp with orders and solemn expressions.
"Commander Qian, His Majesty's safety these days will be left to you!" Wei Wei raised his hand and once again solemnly told Qian Wensheng to protect His Majesty's safety.
As the commander of the Forbidden Army, it is his duty to protect His Majesty's safety. Qian Wensheng nodded immediately, "Commander Wei, please feel free to go back."
With his words, Wei Wei felt relieved. Moreover, with the example of the former commander of the imperial army, he did not dare to ignore His Majesty's safety.
But no matter how relieved he was, Wei Wei still left two people by His Majesty's side when he left.
As soon as Wei Wei left the hunting ground, Wang's daughter quickly received news.
The Wang daughter held the chess pieces in her right hand and looked down at the chessboard in front of her. She didn't even raise her head when she heard the news reported by the maid, but Wang Yuanqi opposite waved her hand to let the maid leave.
There were only two siblings left in the room. Wang Yuanqi looked at his sister and asked inadvertently, "Brother, I heard that you and His Majesty have been chatting for nearly an hour?"
"Um."
"This matter involves a fight in the court. If you are a woman involved, I'm afraid those people will fight against you if they find out. You can just ask your brother to do it for you. Why bother-"
"The third brother is joking. Even if it wasn't me, wouldn't they be able to fight against me?" The Wang daughter raised her head and chuckled, looking at Wang Yuanqi.
She said with absolute certainty: "No."
"Whether it's you or me, those people will never let me go, not even the Langya Wang Family. In their eyes, the Langya Wang Family is already on His Majesty's side. Once our Langya Wang Family declines, Those aristocratic families will definitely join forces to fight against each other until they are exterminated!"
"But..." Wang Yuanqi opened his mouth, wanting to say that they were all from aristocratic families after all, and even a fight in the court would not reach that point.
Wang Yuanqi wanted to say that she was overthinking it, and that the struggle in the court would not end there.
The two brothers and sisters are close in age and grew up together. Among their brothers and sisters, they are the closest to each other. Looking at the expression on the third brother's face, you can tell that he doesn't believe it.
But it's no wonder that the third brother values friendship, is moral, and abides by gentleman's etiquette, but not everyone is like him and abides by gentleman's etiquette.
Wang Shuyuan smiled and shook her head helplessly, sighing, I really don’t know whether such a third brother is good or bad...
"Third brother, you are too naive!"
Wang Shuyuan said, placing the black chess piece in her hand on the chessboard.
There was a slight clicking sound as the wife landed.
Suddenly, Wang Shuyuan raised her head and looked at Wang Yuanqi again, but this time when she met her sister's eyes, Wang Yuanqi inexplicably felt like she was seeing her father, and her body tensed involuntarily.
Of course, he did not show this, but Wang Shuyuan still saw the chess piece in his hand.
Wang Shuyuan pretended not to know and smiled faintly, "Brother has been studying abroad for three years, but he is still so naive. Do you think that the battles in the court are all open and aboveboard? But you don't know that the battles in the court are like the battles between women in the house. Either you die or I live, and even The whole family has been overthrown. Third brother, not everyone maintains a gentleman's benevolent and upright heart like you."
Hearing this, Wang Yuanqi remained silent.
It's not that he didn't understand what his sister said, he just didn't think about it that way!
But precisely because she was right, Wang Yuanqi was speechless.
"Just like the assassinations that my sister encountered several times before, they were not the actions of those gentlemen who spoke of benevolence, justice and morality." Speaking of the assassinations that she encountered several times, Wang Shuyuan felt that she had been lucky enough to escape. Otherwise, Xiangxiaoyu died as early as the first assassination.
However, no matter how lucky a person is to encounter so many assassinations, he will always feel uncomfortable and even want to take revenge.
Wang Shuyuan was like this at this moment. She said calmly: "My sister is not a person who repays evil with kindness, and she is not a man who does not need to be a gentleman. Since they want me dead, why should I stand there and wait for them to assassinate me?"
"Brother, please keep your gentleman's heart. I will be the evil one and eradicate those who want to overthrow the Langya Wang family!"
"You..." Looking at his sister who was as gentle as usual, Wang Yuanqi didn't know what to say for a moment.
She was still as gentle and dignified as ever, but Wang Yuanqi felt that her sister seemed different today. As for what was different, he couldn't tell.
After a long time, he remembered, looked around, and suddenly said, "You can just say these things in front of me, but you are not allowed to say them again in the future!"
This is something that cannot be said. If someone hears it deliberately, they will probably make a big fuss about it, saying that the Langya Wang family relied on His Majesty's trust to eliminate dissidents.
Of course, Wang Yuanqi is not afraid of these rumors. He who acts and sits upright is not afraid of people who are interested in talking about it.
He was just afraid that His Majesty would doubt the sincerity of the Langya Wang family if he believed the slander.
Wang Yuanqi was worried at the moment, but Wang Shuyuan was not afraid.
She smiled and said something that made Wang Yuanqi even more worried, "It's too late. I'm afraid that your Majesty will already know about the conversation between our brother and sister by now."
Wang Yuanqi: "!!!!!!"
As Wang Shuyuan said, Chen Jue did know the content of their conversation at this moment.
After hearing the last sentence of the secret guard's report, Chen Jue paused slightly while holding Langhao's hand and looked up, "Are you exposed?"
The secret guard shook his head, "The secret guards sent by Miss Wang San and Mrs. Wang who were sent to keep an eye on them have never appeared in front of them." So he didn't know how Miss Wang San knew that someone was watching them.
After saying that, the secret guard knelt down decisively, and without making excuses for his dereliction of duty, he apologized bluntly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's because of my incompetence in doing things."
He understands very well that as a secret guard, if your master asks you to keep an eye on a person, but you are discovered by that person, no matter what, it is the secret guard's dereliction of duty. Then I'll fine you one month's worth of silver. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" It's only a month's worth of silver, which is already very good.
Chen Jue waved his hand and put the notebook aside, "That's really interesting. Since you didn't show up, how did she find out?"
The secret guard behind this question also thought about it. During this period, ever since they received the order to keep an eye on the Langya Wang family, they had never appeared in front of others, and no one even told Miss Wang San that His Majesty sent someone to keep an eye on them. Watching them.
So how did Miss Wang San know?
The secret guard thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, are you still going to keep an eye on the Langya Wang family?"
Chen Jue was stunned for a moment, and seemed to think of something. He smiled, "Continue!"
The secret guard looked at him, as if he didn't understand. Miss Wang and Miss Wang already knew, so Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang must also know. Is it still necessary to keep an eye on her?
Although I don’t know why His Majesty said he wanted to continue, the secret guard still accepted the order without asking any questions.
There is a saying that Chen Jue thinks is very reasonable. Since you know that the other party wants to harm you, why should you give the other party a chance? It's better to strike first.
