When Xue Ruitian heard the words "First Queen Mother", a look of understanding flashed across his face.
Sure enough, as they had guessed before, the source of these troubles is inseparable from the Queen Mother. Not only is it inseparable, the Queen Mother is also the mastermind of these things. As the most loyal believer of the Qinglian Sect, as the Queen Mother The Queen Mother's right-hand men, the Liu family and the Luan family were accomplices.
"Master Hou? Master Hou, you..."
He Yidun raised his head slightly and quickly observed Xue Ruitian's expression. He found that when he said the name of the Empress Dowager, the other person's expression did not change. He was a little surprised. After all, as a nobleman who is related to the royal family, , such blatant disrespect and disrespect for the Queen Mother is relatively rare.
"Tsurui Atsushi, you said these are the intentions of the Empress Dowager, right?"
"Yes, the Liu family leader did say so. These are the empress dowager's orders. As a minister, the Liu family leader cannot disobey the order. Therefore, even if you don't want to, you can only do it according to the empress dowager's wishes."
"Even if you don't want to, you can only do it according to Taihuang Tiahjun's wishes?" A sarcastic smile flashed across Xue Ruitian's face, "Does Master Liu believe this?"
"What does Mr. Hou mean?"
“What do you mean?” He won’t let you finish the matter, right?”
"..." He Yidun hesitated for a moment and nodded towards Xue Ruitian, "What the Marquis said is that the Liu family leader really trusts the villain, and the villain also respects the Liu family leader very much."
"If I guess correctly, Master Liu is your benefactor. To be precise, he should be your savior, right?" Xue Ruitian's eyes fell on the letter, "When the imperial court encircled and suppressed the Green Lotus Sect, your grandparents, The reason why my parents were able to run out and escape was entirely because someone tipped them off, right? And the person who tipped off the tip was the head of the Liu family, right?"
"The Marquis is wise, indeed."
"Well, as long as you are willing to admit it." Xue Ruitian nodded with satisfaction, "This way I can confirm that you, your family, and your brothers' families are not ordinary pawns in the Qinglian Sect." Look. Seeing what Heyi Atsushi wanted to say, he waved his hand gently, "The role of your family is probably the work you are doing now, which is similar to a secret agent. Under the guise of doing business, you contact the remnants of the Qinglian Sect in various places and inquire about the movements of the imperial court. Let’s do some business on the way to save some connections and funds for the Qinglian Sect, right?”
He Yidun looked at Xue Ruitian for a long time and sighed softly.
"Let the Marquis make it right. The Marquis is indeed a person that the head of the family values."
"Thank you very much, Master Liu, for your praise. Xue is too embarrassed to deserve it." Xue Ruitian chuckled, "Since the Liu family is kind to you, it is natural for you to be loyal to him. However, has your benefactor ever told you, Daxia has the iron law of Daxia, the harem is not allowed to interfere with politics, and the Empress Dowager has no right to interfere in any affairs of the royal children, including weddings and funerals?"
"This..." He Yidun was stunned and shook his head gently, "I have heard of it, but it has been rare since ancient times for a concubine not to be involved in politics, so..."
"Well, there is some truth in that. There are not many people who can abide by the iron law. It's not particularly unusual for the Queen Mother to do this."
"That's what the villain means."
“Really?” ? She has no rights at all in the palace, and has never met His Highness Prince Ning a few times. Also, did the Liu Family Master tell you that unless the Empress Dowager had her own channels, there would be no news about her during that period? It is impossible to send it outside the palace."
"Master Hou, little man..."
"Tsurui Atsushi, even now, you are still so dishonest. This makes me very disappointed."
"Master Marquis, there is no villain. You have misunderstood the villain."
"Misunderstanding?" Some people will believe it. It's a pity that before you came, I also inquired about some situations. Naturally, I won't be deceived by you. Naturally, I won't say anything against your will under your deception. Originally, this Marquis I am thinking that if you can honestly tell everything you know, and do not bite this or frame that, I will fulfill my promise just now and spare the lives of you and your brothers. After all, you are also considered to be insiders of my mother’s case. If I bail you out, it would be good for you to reciprocate and tell me some news. It’s a pity that from the time I agreed to your request until now, In just a cup of tea, you made me realize that you were full of lies. I gave you several opportunities, but you didn't know how to cherish them and still talked nonsense. So don't blame me. Be polite."
He Yidun looked at Xue Ruitian nervously. The letter was particularly unclear. His words were indeed true and false. Half of the ten sentences were true and half were false. This was what he had discussed with the head of the Liu family before coming to Jiaping Pass. , but unexpectedly it backfired and was exposed mercilessly by Xue Ruitian.
"Master Hou, Master Hou, this is really not what a villain means."
"Well, it's either you or Master Liu's." Xue Ruitian waved his hand gently, "Whose idea it was, actually it doesn't matter. I am already prepared for you not to tell the truth, but I didn't expect that you really didn't tell the truth. You said you wanted to cooperate, but in fact you mocked me to the core in your heart, didn't you? I don't know if this is the usual behavior of your Qinglian sect. This is the tradition of seeking cooperation with others. Do you go through all the troubles and go to the border to see me just to express such sincerity?" He sneered and stepped back two steps. Step, "Unfortunately, I don't like such collaborators, and I don't want to deal with people like you who lie all day long, so if the cooperation fails, you can continue to stay here!"
After saying that, Xue Ruitian quickly left the dungeon without giving He Yidun a chance.
He Yidun watched helplessly as Xue Ruitian's back disappeared from his sight, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
