Shen Cha asked Ying Si to sit down, looked at the people who were still immersed in the play, and motioned to keep their voices down so as not to disturb them.
"Before I went to Linhuang Mansion, I thought that Yelvertu had the final say in the court of Liao Dynasty, and it could be said that it was his voice. But after I went there, I found that the resistance faced by Yelvertu was very strong, beyond our control. Inference. In addition to the group of young people headed by Yelu Lan and Yelu Nan who want a new look in the Liao court, and the Xiao family who have always spared no effort to confront the Yelu family, there are at least two hidden groups. The forces that oppose Yelv Ertu." Shen Cha stretched out his finger and waved it twice in front of Shen Haolin and Ying Si, "But it is hidden too deeply, and outsiders like us can't touch the root, but Yelu Nan and the others are among them. People like us are also confused and suffer the same pain as us."
"They don't know either?"
"Yes, the actions of these people are very strange. They seem to only target Yelvertu. They adopt an indifferent attitude towards the entanglements of other people and other forces and do their own things wholeheartedly."
"So, you suspect that one of these two forces mixed something into the Anshen Incense?"
"It's possible, but not very sure. We don't know what their purpose is for targeting Yelv Ertu at all." Shen Cha spread his hands with a very helpless expression, "Yelulan and Yelunan hope that the Liao court can have a new look. There must be a new atmosphere, there must be vitality, instead of being lifeless like now. Xiao Fengqi wants to return to the pinnacle of glory and realize his ambition. But what about these people..." She tapped twice. After getting off the table, "I always feel that their hatred comes out of nowhere, and it seems that they are more likely to seek personal revenge. Look at the tricks they are using now, the purpose is to kill Yelvertu as soon as possible. As for whether the Liao Dynasty will because of Yelvertu The sudden sudden death and chaos, whether it will turn into a situation like the Jin Kingdom, is not within their scope of consideration."
"My subordinates think so too. They only see what's in front of them but don't consider the overall situation. Therefore, my subordinates guess that one of these two forces must be composed of the maids and chamberlains of the Liao Palace." Ying Si looked at Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha again, "But one thing I don't understand very well is that it has only been a few months since Yelvertu actually moved into the palace. Did their hatred come too suddenly?"
"What if the object of their hatred is not Yelvertu, but anyone who moves into the palace?" Shen Haolin looked at them with a smile, "Have you never considered this reason?"
"But why?" Shen Cha was puzzled, "Do these palace maids and chamberlains regard the palace as their private property and no one is allowed to enter? Or do they have some special attachment to the palace? Brother, is this guess right? A little whimsical?"
"It is indeed not consistent with common sense, but if you think about it, since Yelvertu became the regent, why have the owners of the Liao Palace changed so frequently? Why are their lifespans so short? Is this consistent with common sense? We Previously, this crime had been pinned on Yelvertu, thinking that these Liao kings had some thoughts that they shouldn't have, and wanted to get rid of Yelvertu and truly take control of the Liao Kingdom, but they were discovered by Yelvertu. , strike first to gain the upper hand." Shen Haolin paused for a moment, "But now it seems that is not the case. Several Liao kings all died for the same reason. Isn't it a coincidence?"
"It's quite a coincidence!"
Song Jue's voice rang in the ears of the three of them. When he saw them standing up and saluting, he waved his hands with a smile.
"Everyone, sit down!" Song Jue also sat down cross-legged, "I heard everything you just talked about."
"Aren't you listening to a show?" Shen Haolin raised an eyebrow, "Why is there no sound at all? When did you come here?
"I knew it when Si'er came in." Song Jue touched his chin and looked at Shen Cha with a smile, "Haolin's inference, from my point of view, is quite reliable."
"Your Majesty?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Has a similar situation happened in the palace?"
"Indeed, but a long time ago, probably when my great-grandfather was in power, a very strange thing happened. Not long after my great-grandfather came to the throne, the palace began to be haunted. It made people panic. Either the chamberlain fainted or the maidservant fainted. I jumped into the river. Anyway, there is no safe day. After many days of investigation inside and outside the palace, I finally found out that it was those retired old men and old maids who were responsible. They stayed in the palace for too long. , developed feelings for the palace, regarded it as their own home, and did not want to leave. But as they got older, and the new emperor ascended the throne, they had to leave the palace within the specified time limit." At this point, Song Jue stopped and looked at the three people sitting in front of him, "If something big happens in the palace at this time, the new emperor will still have to rely on these old people and need their experience to get out of the current predicament."
"So, staying in the palace forever is their goal?"
"That's right!" Song Jue smiled at Shen Cha, pretending to be a teachable child, "Later, after the haunting incident came to light, none of the chamberlains and maids in the palace were too old. They go out of the palace, arrange their future life for them, and let them live the rest of their lives peacefully. Of course, this is not absolute. The two people around me are not young, but they have watched me grow up. , you are loyal to me and will not have such obsession."
"Your Majesty is right!" Shen Cha sighed softly, "So, Your Majesty also believed that the maids and chamberlains in the Liao Palace did not want to leave the palace, so they simply took the palace as their own and moved everything into the palace. Is it possible to kill all the Liao kings they drove away?" She shook her head gently, "This reason still sounds very strange and cannot really convince me."
"I think the general is right. Your Majesty and the Duke of Guo, if they have the energy, they might as well leave the palace and live their lives honestly!" Ying Si also shook his head, "They can use the previous Liao kings' The death of Yelvertu can be placed on Yelulan, Yelunan or the Xiao family. But..." He sighed, "It is impossible for Liao to have no king. What will they do when they have no one to frame them against? Sooner or later, the secret will be revealed."
"Yes, they will be exposed, there is no doubt about it, but their thoughts should be to muddle along and stay in the palace day by day." Shen Haolin knocked on the table, "You can think about it, the former King of Liao Who came up with the idea of threatening death!"
"It was the palace maid next to him who left the windows open all night, which is also what the palace maid beside him meant. After the death of King Xiao Liao, the palace maid committed suicide." Shen Cha nodded, "So that's the case, so it can be explained. ”
"Oh?" Song Jue raised an eyebrow, "Tell me about it!"
"Those chamberlains and maids entered the palace at a very young age, and what they learned and understood are inseparably related to the palace. Once they leave this familiar environment, they will find that they It is very likely that the skills they have acquired in the past ten or even decades are not enough to allow them to continue living the life they lived in the palace. Of course, they can choose to work as errands in high-profile households, but the treatment will be worse than in the palace. There is too much difference, and they cannot bear the gap. Therefore, instead of living a precarious life, it is better to find ways to stay in the palace. Even if one day, their plan is exposed and they face death, they are still willing to do so."
"That's what happened!" Song Jue patted Ying Si, "Learn from your general and see what his understanding is."
"In order to avoid living a messy life, you have to kill people? Are you killing the king?" Ying Si shook his head, "Is this obsession too strong? Have they gone crazy?"
