The secret room was silent and the lights were quiet, illuminating the surprise on Xu Yuan's face.
This surprise was not pretended by him, but the answer of the eunuch in front of him was really beyond his expectation.
Mi Tian, a third-grade grand master and a fourth-grade eunuch, can be regarded as a respectable eunuch in the palace.
But does it matter whether he lives or lives?
unimportant.
Even if he cultivates to a great master, for the entire Dayan court, oh no, even for the princelings, this Mi Tian is just a screw that can be replaced at any time.
Therefore, Xu Yuan was not surprised that the prince's eldest companion was unwilling to pay a high price to save him.
What surprised him was that Wang Lingchi took the initiative to characterize the incident as an assassination.
You must know that this Mi Tian is his godson, and it is classified as an assassination. Doesn't this put an unwarranted blame on himself?
There was a moment of silence,
Staring at the other party's feminine face, Xu Yuan's lips curved into a smile:
"Huh? You know this person wants to assassinate me?"
Wang Lingchi shook his head and said in a serious tone:
"Third Young Master is joking. Our family doesn't know about this."
Xu Yuan took a deep look at the other person, stepped forward slowly, and patted the ripped clothes on his chest:
"He calls you godfather. If you don't know, then this matter was an order issued by the prince himself over the top?"
As he said that, Xu Yuan seemed to suddenly remember something, and his eyes narrowed:
"In this way, Qing Yan and I were assassinated last time."
"Third Young Master, please be careful what you say."
Wang Lingchi interrupted him and spoke in a slightly lower tone: "Princess, she is a blood relative of His Highness the Crown Prince and has no position whatsoever in this matter."
Xu Yuan walked up to the other party, raised his finger and pointed at Mi Tian who was paralyzed on the ground:
"Then how do you explain this godson?"
Wang Lingchi glanced back at Mi Tian, and his voice was slow and gentle, without any urgency:
"It should be someone who ordered me, but this person is neither our family nor His Highness the Crown Prince."
A hint of humor appeared on Xu Yuan's face:
"Eunuch, don't tell me that this is someone who can command your godson beyond you?"
Wang Lingchi shook his head, with a hint of regret in his tone:
"Third Young Master, you see that you have not understood the matters within the palace. The adopted father and adopted son that our eunuchs consider is not as serious as those adopted outside the palace walls, but it is just a way of saying surrender.
"When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Today Mi Tian may be our king Lingchi's adopted son, and tomorrow he may become Li Lingchi or Zhang Lingchi."
"When Qian Jinchen was sentenced to death by His Majesty for taking bribes, our family accepted Mi Tian as his adopted son because of his cleverness. But now it seems that this is not a clean slate."
Qian Jinchen, the previous chief steward of the Great Inner Palace, was a great eunuch who had the merit of following the dragon, was a second-rank official, became a minister when he met the emperor, and was an upright eunuch.
Within Miyagi, he is almost second only to the Ouchi General Manager.
However, there are rumors that this person is having an affair with Concubine Qin, the mother of the second prince.
Of course, this is just hearsay.
Xu Yuan didn't think anyone would dare to give a hat to the holy king in the palace.
The dragon bed in this world is not so easy to sleep on.
Not to mention the perceptual formation, the saint's overwhelming perceptual power alone is enough to cover the palace. If someone really dares to do something casual, it can only be said that he is very addicted.
However, the death of the former eunuch must be related to the crown prince and the second prince, but Xu Yuan did not know the specific secret.
Recalling this, Xu Yuan probably understood what Wang Lingchi meant and said with a smile:
"You want to say that this matter was instigated by Qian Jinchen's remnants?"
Wang Lingchi nodded, his face not red, his heart not beating, and he guided slowly:
"Third Young Master, you might as well think about it carefully. At this juncture when our family comes to pay a visit to His Highness Wu Yuan, who will benefit the most from coming to assassinate you, Third Young Master, as our adopted son?"
"."Xu Yuan.
Okay, it's round.
As expected, the great eunuch wrote the story faster than him.
With a sigh, Xu Yuan smacked his lips:
"So, what the prince said does make some sense."
Speaking of which,
Xu Yuan directly passed Wang Lingchi and walked slowly to Mi Tian who was embedded in the wall. He looked up and down and found that the other person was still awake. He smiled and murmured:
"The great master's vitality is really strong.
"My lord, since this man assassinated my young master, it should be okay for me to kill him now, right?"
"."
After hearing this, Mi Tian subconsciously looked at Wang Lingchi over there, his eyes a little anxious.
Wang Lingchi did not avoid Mi Tian's gaze, but the look in his eyes was indeed indifferent.
If the adopted son had not fought back, then he could have saved him.
But unfortunately, he fought back and left traces of his skills.
In this case, if you want to save him, the price you pay will completely depend on Xu Changtian's appetite.
At first, he did accept him as his adopted son because of his cleverness, but now it seems that he was wrong. It is a pity for those cultivation resources.
With a chuckle, Wang Lingchi bowed his hands to Xu Yuan's back, and in a calm voice directly sentenced Mi Tian to death:
"This person dares to assassinate you, Third Young Master, and he will never escape his guilt."
"."
Mi Tian's breath froze, and the eagerness in his eyes instantly turned into anger.
He wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back silently when he saw Wang Lingchi's cold gaze.
The anger in his eyes was quickly replaced by powerless despair.
As he climbed to this position step by step, he saw many people who were abandoned by Wang Lingchi. Many of these people were dealt with by him personally. He never thought that the day would come when it would be his turn to be abandoned.
Seeing the despair in Mi Tian's eyes, Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes.
This prince's eldest companion is very cruel, and it has been ten years since Qian Jinchen was sentenced to death.
After ten years of being together, they didn’t even ask about the bargaining chips for which they had to sell their lives, and just threw them away.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan suddenly laughed in a low voice:
"Mitian, do you have anything to say?"
Mi Tian's voice was very light and without any emotion:
"No."
The smile on Xu Yuan's lips was slightly playful:
"Is it true? If you reveal the person behind the scenes, I won't kill you. Well, I won't let anyone kill you."
"."
When Mi Tian heard this, he immediately raised his eyes to look at him, and then lowered his eyes again. His eyes lost their luster and were embedded in the wall without any intention of speaking.
Quite loyal.
Oh no, maybe he was afraid of Wang Lingchi's power.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan chuckled and raised his hand to a position about one centimeter in front of Mi Tian's face.
"Gulu gulu."
A heart-wrenching rustling sound came from Mi Tian's body, and the bacteria carpet clinging to his body began to boil at this moment.
Wang Lingchi, who was not far away, saw this scene, and his eyes immediately showed a hint of solemnity.
From the beginning, he could probably guess that Xu Changtian used a foreign object to subdue Mi Tian, but he didn't expect that before Xu Changtian took action, he was not aware of the existence of this thing at all.
What's this?
In the silence of the secret room,
Countless amounts of blood-colored substance poured out along Mi Tian's wound, spreading like brocade silk towards Xu Yuan's raised palm.
The moment the blood-colored substance came into contact with Xu Yuan's skin, it immediately dissipated into nothingness, as if it had directly integrated into his body.
Disappeared.
Wang Lingchi narrowed his eyes, but soon he discovered that Xu Yuan's actions were not to kill Mi Tian, but to pull out the restrictions in the other party's body.
"."
The blocked meridians were reopened and Yuan Qi began to circulate again. Mi Tian's already desperate eyes looked at Xu Yuan with a hint of confusion.
Facing his gaze, Xu Yuan chuckled softly:
"My master appreciates loyal people the most, so I won't kill you. Go down."
Mi Tian was still embedded in the wall and did not move.
Xu Yuan's voice turned cold and he didn't speak anymore. Instead, he said via voice:
"What? If you don't go down now, do you want me to apologize to you?"
Mi Tian immediately lowered his eyes after hearing this:
"I don't dare, slave."
As a burst of gravel rolled down, Mi Tian stood on the ground, bowed and held his hands in his hands, his voice filled with a hint of happiness for surviving the disaster:
"Thank you Third Young Master for not killing me."
After all,
In the dead silence of the secret room, Mi Tian walked quickly towards the smashed stone door.
While walking, he lowered his head and did not look at Wang Lingchi because he did not dare.
He had already realized what the third young master wanted to do.
alienate.
Between life and death, a gap has arisen.
Even if he is willing to continue to follow the other party, can the other party trust him again?
The moment Mi Tian passed by Wang Lingchi, he suddenly realized something.
His current identity is Qian Jinchen's adopted son, the second prince's spy, and the assassin who destroys the cooperation between the prince and Princess Wu Yuan.
Although almost everyone present knew that the so-called assassination was just an unfounded crime, this matter could not be explained.
In other words, when Wang Lingchi characterized his behavior as an assassination, the foster father had to continue acting out.
The movement of his feet suddenly stopped, Mi Tian's face turned ashen.
The third young master letting him go didn't seem like a simple estrangement.
Because no matter what, his identity included the adopted son of Wang Lingchi.
The Third Young Master of the Prime Minister's Mansion could be merciful and let him go, but Wang Lingchi could not.
In order to clear the suspicion, he must take action against him.
When he thought about this, the feeling of being on the verge of death swept through Mi Tian's body instantly.
Wang Lingchi's calm and feminine voice sounded lightly in the secret room:
"Third Young Master is kind. After all, this man is also our adopted son. If this happens, then it will be up to our father to clean up the family."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Lingchi raised his hand and slapped Mi Tian on the forehead.
The red eunuch's robe drew an arc in the air, and the huge source energy on it made Mi Tian feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
He couldn't avoid it.
Snapped.
A small sound echoed.
The voice is very soft.
Unexpectedly, Mi Tian found that his head did not explode like a watermelon.
Li Qingyan, who had been watching the show, appeared beside Wang Lingchi and grabbed the wrist that Wang Lingchi patted.
Wang Lingchi narrowed his eyes and glanced at his wrist that was grabbed. The huge force prevented his palm from moving even an inch, and he said in a respectful voice:
"Your Highness, this is..."
Li Qingyan let go of his hand, turned around, walked towards the chair behind the desk, and said in an indifferent voice:
"Seeing blood here is too dirty."
Wang Lingchi frowned, but before he spoke, Xu Yuan took the lead and spoke with a smile:
"Eunuch Wang, this young master, the person who was assassinated, said that he would be let go. Are you so eager to kill your adopted son? Do you want to silence him?"
Saying,
Xu Yuan looked at Li Qingyan and gave the breast-wrapped princess a thumbs up with his eyes.
Li Qingyan was too lazy to pay attention to him, rolled his eyes at him, and sat back in his chair.
it is more than words.
Wang Lingchi frowned tightly as he looked at the scene in front of him.
He didn't expect Xu Changtian's scheming to be so deep.
If there was still a chance of turning around between him and Mi Tian and his son when he gave up before, then after he took action, this road was basically dead.
The whole thing was just to delay his coming to this secret room, and this guy actually hit the snake with a stick.
It wasn't enough for him to give up a grand master as compensation, he actually wanted to bury a chess piece beside him openly.
Wang Lingchi glanced at the woman who had returned to the seat.
However, the other party did not look at him. He sat there calmly and tapped the desk gently, as if waiting for his answer.
He sighed in his heart. It seemed that the little actions he did behind his back had made the princess very dissatisfied.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Lingchi bowed and saluted Xu Yuan:
"Since the Third Young Master has said so, this person's life will be spared for the time being."
Saying,
He glanced sideways at Mi Tian and said coldly:
"What are you doing here in a daze? Get out of here and I'll settle the score with you later."
Mi Tian lowered his eyes and replied in a low voice:
"Yes, father."
"."
Watching the figure in the purple eunuch uniform disappear at the entrance of the stone door, Xu Yuan casually took out a chair from the Sumeru Ring, placed it next to Li Qingyan, sat down, and said:
"Okay, this episode is over."
Wang Lingchi stood independently in front of the desk, looked at Xu Yuan sitting behind him, and laughed softly:
"Third Young Master is really good at it. His soul-condensing body can actually capture the powerful Grand Master alive. Now it seems that all the rumors about Young Master in the Imperial City are false."
Xu Yuan frowned when he heard this, then chuckled and said:
"It's just some external things. When I'm out and about, my father has to give me some means to save my life. Okay, Eunuch Wang, you didn't invite me and Qing Yan here just to talk about me."
Speaking of which,
Xu Yuan glanced sideways at the woman sitting next to him and asked:
"Qing Yan, when I was stopped outside and assassinated, what were you talking about?"
"Some military affairs in the north."
Li Qingyan said directly without any attempt to hide it: "The sect mobilized tens of thousands of military disciples to build military formations and entered the northern border."
The look in Xu Yuan's eyes froze slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at Wang Lingchi opposite:
"Oh? It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince is really well informed. Can he detect such secret information?"
Wang Lingchi was silent for a moment, nodded and said:
"Sir, our family is looking for the princess to tell you that it is not just this matter, there is something more important."
Xu Yuan raised a smile on his lips and whispered:
"Is this the so-called incident that happened in the court?"
Wang Lingchi's face turned slightly solemn, his eyes solemn, and he replied in a low voice:
"Yes, it's about the second prince."
There was no surprise in Xu Yuan's mind. It was probably Li Zhaoyuan who made the big news:
"tell me the story?"
Wang Lingchi glanced at Li Qingyan and whispered:
"Today the Holy Emperor came to court in person to deal with the memorial submitted by His Highness the Second Prince."
