Su Qingyu took a sip of tea and said quietly: "Isn't this an investigation? What is His Highness King Qi so anxious about?"
"Do you suspect that the assassin who assassinated you that night was the work of this king?"
Su Qingyu couldn't help laughing: "What? Stop pretending?"
"Aren't you tired of pretending to be an idiot for so many years?"
"I'm actually quite curious. You pretend to be a fool and waste every day. You have to return to normal when you return to your own house, right? As time goes by, will you really not have a split personality?"
Although he didn't know what Su Qingyu meant by 'split personality', King Qi could easily infer from the disgusted expression on her face that it must not be a good word.
He narrowed his eyes, and the expression on his face showed no trace of his usual stupidity.
"Su Qingyu."
King Qi said coldly: "Prince Qi's Mansion is not a place where you can run wild as you please."
"Don't think that because your father has given you the right to handle cases, you can do whatever you want in my palace, right?"
Su Qingyu nodded knowingly: "Of course I will not act recklessly in your palace. At most, I will ask you a few questions and then take a brief tour of the environment of your Prince Qi's palace."
"That's it, His Highness Prince Qi should be able to agree, right?"
King Qi didn't know that Su Qingyu was provoking him, and she was trying to think of ways to anger him.
"I don't know, Princess Ling, what do you want to ask?"
He gave the personal guard a look, and the guard immediately understood and led all the servants in the flower hall out.
Seeing Mingyue standing there without moving, King Qi glanced at her coldly.
Su Qingyu casually threw her long hair behind her chest and said nonchalantly: "Oh, my maid is one of my own, different from your cats and dogs."
"Su Qingyu!"
King Qi gritted his teeth and said: "I advise you to pay attention to your words! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Su Qingyu seemed to be scared and patted her chest: "Hey, although your personality has changed, your temper is still the same."
"Okay, okay, I can always ask questions."
Sitting upright, it was Su Qingyu who could give King Qi the last respect.
"Let me ask you, were you the one causing trouble in the assassination on the outskirts of Ye Jing?"
When King Qi heard this, he smiled evilly, with obvious mockery in his eyes.
He touched the jade ring on his finger and asked: "You already know the answer, why do you still come to ask me?"
Su Qingyu clenched her fingers instantly: "It's really you!"
King Qi was unscrupulous: "It's a pity that in such a big battle, only one Princess An died. In the end, you were even freed from the crime of killing Princess An."
"After all, I still underestimate you."
"But it doesn't matter. Evenly matched opponents are more interesting. You think so, seventh brother and sister."
"You are such a pervert!"
Su Qingyu looked at King Qi's face and said sincerely: "Compared to your perverted appearance, I still like the stupid King Qi more."
King Qi burst into laughter.
"Don't even think about using such childish methods to anger me. I'm not afraid to tell you. Even if I tell you today that the assassination that day was arranged by me, what can you do?"
"Father will not have any doubts about this matter. Even if you find out clearly, it will be in vain."
"Su Qingyu, while I am in a good mood today, you can ask whatever you want to know. I will definitely satisfy your curiosity. How about that?"
"But if you want to use today's conversation to complain in front of the emperor, I advise you to give up on this idea."
Until this moment, Su Qingyu suddenly understood the powerlessness Lu Yuncheng had felt over the past five years.
It's not that he doesn't have the ability to find out the truth he wants, but the person who can make the truth public is simply pretending to be stupid.
In such a dynasty, the emperor was the central figure of the entire country.
But when you find that the entire court, starting with the central figure, is slowly decaying, where should you start to make justice known to the public?
"You always knew that I was treating Lu Yuncheng's leg, so you took advantage of the critical moment when I was setting his bones to send someone to assassinate him?"
Having confessed to such an extent, King Qi didn't think he had any need to hide anything.
"Yes! I originally wanted my seventh brother to see his legs cut off again when he was most hopeful, and he would never have the chance to stand up again. I wonder what his expression would be like! "
"It's a pity that a female knight in white appeared on the way and disrupted my situation!"
As King Qi was talking, he suddenly hissed: "The heroine in white has unfathomable skills, but she has helped Lu Yuncheng escape from danger again and again. What is the relationship between you and the heroine in white?"
Seeing that Su Qingyu opened her mouth to speak, he raised his hand to stop her: "If you want to say something, just tell the truth. There is no need to use the trick of fooling my father to fool me."
"You are right, I do know the heroine in white."
Since everyone has doubts, it is better to use the confusion of truth and falsehood to frighten the person so that he does not dare to act rashly again.
"That night, I invited the heroine in white to take charge. I thought it would be someone from King An, but I didn't expect it was you."
"You are indeed related to the heroine in white!"
King Qi's eyes flickered, and then he looked Su Qingyu up and down, and after a long while he said:
"Seventh younger brother and sister are always good at lying to others. Could it be that the heroine in white you talk about is not you?"
In fact, the timing of the appearance of the heroine in white was too coincidental, so he had to be more cautious.
Su Qingyu pretended to be surprised, with an exaggerated expression: "Ah! You have discovered all this!"
Mingyue stood behind her, silently clenching the sword in her hand, ready to take her princess away at any time.
King Qi looked stunned, as if he was trying to determine how true or false what Su Qingyu said was.
"If you are really the heroine in white, why did you live worse than the servants when you were in the Marquis' Mansion?"
In just a few breaths, King Qi convinced himself.
"Su Qingyu, don't think that this king is as easy to fool as the Queen Mother."
Su Qingyu winked: "What a pity, I thought you believed it!"
Seeing the disappointment in Su Qingyu's eyes with his own eyes, King Qi became more confident in his guess.
"I have two final questions. I hope His Highness Prince Qi will continue to answer my questions."
Qi Wanghun casually made a gesture of invitation.
His unscrupulousness and the arrogance in his eyes made Su Qingyu curious about what he said and did in front of Emperor Ming to earn such trust.
In other words, Emperor Ming gave him the power and confidence to do whatever he wanted.
"First, where did you get the Gu worms?"
King Qi spread his hands and said: "I'm sorry, I can't answer this question for you."
Su Qingyu stared into his eyes for a long time, and soon realized that King Qi was indeed very difficult to deal with after he stopped pretending.
Neither his city nor his current status in the eyes of Emperor Ming could be easily shaken by her and Lu Yuncheng.
What's more, behind him, there is an unidentified time traveler...
"last question."
Su Qingyu looked at King Qi's expression and tried not to miss any of his expressions.
"I want to meet the piano player in your house who can play 'High Mountains and Flowing Waters'. I wonder if His Highness, Prince Qi, can make it easier."
