Human thoughts are often like seeds dropped in the pasture. They lie dormant in the cold soil in winter, but they can burst out of the ground immediately with just a spring breeze.
Tang Huaide killed people like this, Jiuer did it the same way, and even the eldest princess on the dragon chariot did the same thing.
If Tang Huaide had not been encouraged by others, even though the thought of killing had been dormant in his heart for a long time, he would not dare to take action.
It was precisely because of Jiuer Fan's pillow style and some unwritten promises that the seeds that had been buried deep in Tang Huaide's heart for a long time could take root and sprout.
At this time, Jiu'er thought that the Tang Huaian case was over, that he had not been implicated in what he did behind the scenes, and that the seed of fear was buried in the corner of his heart.
But the appearance of the eldest grandson and the simple words just now were like the "spring breeze", making fear fill Jiu'er's heart again.
As for the eldest princess...
The eldest grandson could not see through her inner thoughts.
"Instigation? Do you have evidence?"
The eldest princess took a sip of tea and said lightly.
Jiu'er looked at Changsun nervously, fearing that he had already gotten something from Tang Huaide.
But after Zhangsun hesitated for a moment, he shook his head and said, "There is no direct evidence. This is just a common man's speculation. I dare to speak out and ask Your Highness to judge."
Hearing this, the eldest princess raised the corner of her mouth and said with interest: "Wangcai, I always thought I had a high opinion of you, but now I find that I still underestimate you."
The eldest grandson stood up, feigning fear and saying he didn't dare.
The eldest princess waved her hand and motioned for him to sit down, and then said with a slightly serious expression: "If you just tell me this, then the value you have shown is not enough."
The eldest grandson understood what the eldest princess meant.
At the end of the eldest grandson's last meeting with the eldest princess, she said the same thing.
"There is no direct evidence, but we still have some clues..."
Of course, the eldest grandson would not dare to tell Tang Huaide's testimony directly. Who knows whether the eldest princess will deal with Jiu'er first or herself first.
"First of all, the first point is that Tang Huaide's character does not match his motive for killing, so Xiaomin suspected that someone was instigating him. Second, with Tang Huaide's ability, even if he finally completed a seemingly perfect murder, but with the investigation of Dali Temple, Based on the experience of veterans, it is not difficult to solve such a case. Unless there is someone behind the scenes to protect Tang Huaide and help him seal off the scene..."
"Didn't you say it before? Your Majesty also doesn't want the truth of the case to be revealed to the world. In this case, it makes sense for your Majesty to secretly control Dali Temple." The eldest princess said.
"I thought so before, but when I arrived at the Autumn Hunting Field, I realized it wasn't the case..."
"oh?"
"Tang Huaian's case directly involves the interests of the nobles of the clan. This group is a force that the Holy One must win over in the Autumn Hunting. Therefore, the Holy One must not dare to tamper with the case so obviously."
Before the Autumn Hunting, the eldest grandson thought that the nobles of the clan were also within the scope of the emperor's suppression, but now looking at the situation in the Autumn Hunting Field, it can be seen that the nobles of the clan led by Prince Tang were also part of the Emperor's suppression of the Autumn Hunting Field. Big boost.
On the autumn hunting ground, the three teams are getting better and better, and the scope of hunting is gradually expanding. As a result, friction between the teams is inevitable.
The emperor's red dragon flag is like a clear goal, a sword pointing to the top, and marching forward all the way.
On the contrary, the Qingluan Banner led by the eldest princess moved slowly because all members of the team were heavily armored. The Zijiao Banner intentionally or unintentionally checked them in front, making the distance between them and the Red Dragon Banner wider and wider. .
The eldest princess looked at her eldest grandson with a half-smile, and asked, "It seems that you mean to say that I am the one who instigated you behind the scenes?"
The eldest grandson was not frightened by the eldest princess's words, "At least he is yours."
The eldest princess was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the eldest grandson would dare to answer her so straightforwardly at this time.
"Then you came to see me just to blackmail me with this matter?!" The eldest princess sounded a little angry.
"Your Highness, calm down. Although I am stupid, I am not stupid enough to think that I can threaten the eldest princess.
Your Highness. "
The eldest princess's face improved slightly and she sneered, "Wangcai, you are so humble. How could you be so stupid... But don't be too smart!"
The eldest grandson said yes, and then said: "One of the purposes of Xiaomin's visit to His Highness this time is to find out the secrets of the women around him for the eldest princess."
"A good girl?"
The eldest grandson did not show off, and said directly: "It is the eldest maid beside the eldest princess, Jiu'er!"
"Wangcai, don't slander anyone!" Jiuer's face turned ferocious with anger and fear, and he pointed at his eldest grandson and shouted.
Of course, the eldest grandson would not be frightened by the already confused Jiu'er, and immediately analyzed: "Through the interrogation of Tang Huaide, we have learned about the inappropriate relationship between you and Tang Huaide."
Hearing this, Jiu'er's face turned red, she was so embarrassed and angry that she was speechless for a moment.
"I was very curious at first. As a person close to the eldest princess, despite your status, you have never seen any young talents. Even the court officials are polite to you when they see you. Why do you fall in love with you? This idiot Tang Huaide is just trying to get along with him."
"Then, I noticed the time when you met Tang Huaide, it was right after Tang Huaian got the job of Qiu Shou!"
Jiuer knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, I am unjust. I am loyal to you, your highness. I always obey your highness's orders and do things without any second thoughts."
The eldest princess looked at her eldest grandson expressionlessly and said bluntly: "Since we are all smart people, I will make it clear that in Tang Huaian's case, I did provide some help to Tang Huaide, and Jiuer also took care of me. I'll give you orders."
Jiu'er breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but before she could feel relieved, the eldest grandson continued: "Your Highness, don't be impatient. Please listen to what I have to say."
"Jiu'er did act according to the instructions of the eldest princess, but if my guess is correct, eldest princess, you really started to intervene in the Tang Huaian case when you ordered Jiu'er to meet Yun Xuezhi secretly."
The eldest princess expressed her acquiescence without saying anything, while Jiu'er on the side had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Jiu'er, when you first approached Tang Huaide, you actually wanted to get close to Tang Huaian through Tang Huaide. The purpose was to facilitate the bereaved family's activities at the Autumn Hunting Ground. But you didn't expect that Tang Huaian would bump into the bereaved family's arrangement at the Autumn Hunting Ground. That's why you thought Lend Tang Huaide's hand to get rid of Tang Huaian."
"I... this slave just wanted to do something for His Highness... You once mentioned during a break that Tang Huaian discovered the arrangement of the bereaved family, which was not good for what you and the Holy One planned, and it gave you a headache..." Nine Er explained in a panic.
"Your statement is very reasonable. At that time, His Highness and the Holy One were in the same camp, and they wanted to set up a bag to kill all the survivors..."
"However, you deliberately made a bellyband of silk and satin on which the eldest princess had written poems and left it with Tang Huaide. Isn't your purpose just to attract Dali Temple's attention to the eldest princess, forcing the eldest princess to become the target of public criticism, and remove the Qingluan flag from Qiu? Are you going to be eliminated from the hunting party?"
"It's just that you didn't expect that Tang Huaide left the spiritual weapon of the bereaved family at the scene of the crime. This made you panic. You were afraid that Dali Temple would find out the bereaved family behind it. So you had to use the name of the eldest princess to order Dali Temple. Seal the scene."
"And what makes you even more unexpected is that the situation in the imperial capital has changed so quickly. First, the Holy Emperor intentionally or unintentionally concealed the traces of the survivors, and secondly, Her Royal Highness the Princess actually stood on the opposite side of the emperor and became an ally with the survivors!"
The eldest grandson finally broke through this layer of window paper, but the eldest princess's face was expressionless, making it difficult to see through her thoughts.
Jiu'er is indeed the wisdom pearl of Xiyan Palace. Even now, he still maintains a trace of reason and looks for loopholes in Changsun's analysis.
"Wangcai, this is just your analysis. If I am the female cadre of the bereaved family as you said, I hinted to Yun Xuezhi when I secretly met with him that Tang Huaian's death was not a simple murder, and there might be someone involved behind it. Qiu Shou is the surviving family. Does this make sense?"
"This is also my biggest doubt. I couldn't figure it out at the time. Your Highness, you are a smart man. Even though you are powerful, the Holy Emperor has worked hard in the dynasty for decades and has a solid foundation. Even if you borrow the hands of the surviving family members and try to pry it off, The throne is also a risky move that cannot be guaranteed..."
"Unless! You have found a more reliable helper. In this way, after uniting the survivors, you will indeed have the strength to compete for the throne."
At this point, Changsun had no scruples and revealed the true appearance of this autumn hunting game bit by bit.
"You want to know who this person is, but you haven't finished talking about Jiu'er yet. I'm still waiting." The eldest princess said in a calm tone.
"The attitude of the Holy One on the Tang Huaian case has been clearly seen by the civil and military officials of the court. Princess, you ordered Jiu'er to meet Yun Xuezhi secretly and provide him with guidance. This is tantamount to openly confronting the Holy One. You should be trying to pass Tang Huaian. In this case, you can see how many people in the court are following you wholeheartedly."
"And after seeing clearly the attitude of the Holy Lord and the eldest princess, Jiu'er is basically certain that Tang Huaian's case will not involve the surviving family. In this case, why not use the spiritual weapon of the surviving family in Tang Huaian's hand to muddy the waters of the entire imperial capital, and at the same time, use the Tang Huaian Sect His identity as a relative contaminates the clan nobles with the surviving family members, so the cooperation between the Holy Emperor and the clan nobles will be self-defeating!"
When Jiu'er heard this, she knelt on the ground and couldn't help but tremble. The thoughts in her heart were the same as those of Tang Huaide in a desperate situation.
"He is the devil!"
The eldest princess looked at Jiu'er again, her eyes as cold as icebergs that were thousands of years old.
"Jiu'er, how many years have you served me?"
When Jiuer heard this, he was so frightened that he couldn't say a complete sentence.
"ten……".
"nineteen……"
"It's been nineteen years. You've always been smart, but you're not smart enough..."
"You have served me for nineteen years and you don't even know what kind of person I am..."
"Your Highness, please spare your life. Your Highness, please spare your life. I am doing this for you..."
The eldest princess no longer looked at Jiu'er on the ground, but stared at the curtain behind her eldest grandson, as if she was in a daze, or talking to someone.
"Although I am cooperating with the surviving family, I cannot tolerate betrayal, so you still have to die!"
After the eldest princess finished speaking, Jiu'er suddenly began to struggle painfully on the ground, and soon died.
