"Are you sure that Eunuch Sixi can be absolutely trusted?"
Xiaotian asked.
Yan Qing said:
"I don't know, but if I had to choose, I would never include him in the list of suspects."
"Then, if it's not Eunuch Sixi, can that Third Prince be trusted?"
"No way!"
This time, Yan Qing was obviously much more excited. It was obvious that her trust in the Third Prince was even greater than that of Eunuch Sixi.
Xiaotian said:
"Princess Qing seems to have great trust in the Third Prince."
Yan Qing said:
"I admit that I have great trust in Uncle Three Kings, but even if we put aside the subjective feelings, Uncle Three Kings has taken the lead in opposing the use of Shura soldiers in the palace from the beginning. He has absolutely no reason to help Yunlong. Internal response."
"Is there such a thing?"
Yan Qing nodded.
Xiaotian said:
"But this would be troublesome. If it's not Eunuch Sixi or the Third Prince, and there are only three of you involved in the defense outside Guanju Tower, could it be you yourself?"
The atmosphere fell into a stalemate, and the purely theoretical speculation about this matter ended here, but at this time, Shui Han thought of another thing.
When Shui Han first entered the Yan Palace, he met Yan Qing for the first time in the Bathing Fragrance Room. At that time, she claimed that she was Li Sisi. According to her position at the time, it was indeed reasonable to conceal the shadow matter. But what Shui Han couldn't figure out was that Eunuch Si Xi said that Yan Qing had to cut off Shui Han before him, and that was why the two met in the bathtub. So why did Yan Qing rush before Eunuch Si Xi? , or why did you rush to see him as a princess before the old King Yan saw him?
Is it really because of naughtiness? Shui Han might still believe that nothing happened before, but now, he has discovered that in the entire Yan Palace, nothing happens just because of interest. Everything that happens has a purpose behind it. In addition, both Yan Qing and Eunuch Sixi once said that Old Yan King seemed to have something to say to him. If Old Yan King had not died violently, what would have been the meeting between him and Old Yan King? What's the situation?
I didn't think about it carefully before, but now I think about it, I came to the Palace of Yan as the grandson of Xiaoting, and Xiaoting was secretly executed by the old King Yan. A generation of kings, facing the grandson of his sworn brother who was killed by him, It is conceivable that nothing good will happen.
Looking at Yan Qing's advanced face, Shui Han thought for a long time and finally asked:
"Princess Qing, why did you rush to meet me in the incense bath room before Old Yan King met me? Did you expect something?"
After Yan Qing heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said:
"Actually, I'm testing you."
It was indeed a test, she said the same thing when she and Sixi met in the corridor.
"Testing? Testing for what?"
"You must not have known that it was your father who secretly executed Xiaoting before. You know now. I think Qin Wuyang told you when he was in prison."
"Is this the content of your test? To test whether I am hostile to Old King Yan. Are you worried that I am here for revenge?"
"No, the Jieyi Hall, the main hall of the Yan Palace, is the safest place in the entire Yan Palace. It is almost impossible for you to assassinate your father in front of the Jieyi Hall. What I am worried about is exactly the opposite. I am worried that my father will do something to you. Start, so try your depth in advance.”
Yan Qing said, glanced at Shui Han, and added,
"Although this princess has no friendship with you, and your death is none of my business, but after all, you are Uncle Xiao's only grandson and that man's only son. My father has already made a mistake once, and I can't let him do it again. Wrong again and again.”
Shui Han was frightened when he heard this. In other words, the old Yan King came to him, most likely to kill him and eliminate future troubles forever. The reason why he wanted to see him was probably to judge whether he would pose a threat to him. Then decide what to do with yourself. Because of this, the order he gave to Eunuch Sixi was probably based on being gentle and ascertaining the reality. Therefore, he and his party were safe and sound on the way to Jicheng. However, regarding their stay in What happened to Liujiazhuang was probably something no one expected.
Yan Qing sighed:
"I think the Jieyi Palace got its name because my father and Uncle Xiao had a sworn relationship here. After my father killed his younger brother, no one dared to mention this name anymore. Everyone called it the main hall for fear of offending Jun Yan."
Shui Han suddenly realized that it was for this reason that they had always called the palace the main hall without mentioning its specific name.
Yan Qing said again:
"After bathing in the incense room for a while, I saw that there was no hatred in your eyes. Since my father wanted to see you instead of killing you directly, he naturally felt compassion. As long as you can be used by him, he will naturally I won’t kill him painfully, and it’s because of this that I didn’t act rashly.”
"To act rashly? Did Princess Qing have any plans before?"
"Of course there is..."
Yan Qing said four words, but then took it back. She had already made a plan before. If Shui Han knew the truth and had a desire for revenge, then she would forcefully control Shui Han and send him out of Jicheng. Those two The eunuchs who locked the door looked like ordinary attendants, but in fact they were practitioners who had already entered the path of spiritual practice. They were pretended to be two strong men specially selected by her from the Gotei Club. At that time, she treated them The order given was that if she knocked hard at the center of the door, she would immediately rush in and subdue Shui Han. If she knocked lightly three times, she would open the door safely. As long as Shui Han behaved abnormally, she would make a desperate move.
Yan Qing decided to do this not to protect his father, or rather to protect the stability of the entire Yan Kingdom. Now the only candidate for the crown prince, his brother Yan Dan, is in Qin The country is a hostage, and the domestic crown prince position is vacant. If King Yan dies suddenly at this time, it will inevitably cause panic in the country, and even allow other countries to take advantage of the situation. By then, the Yan country will be in danger, although she does not believe in Shui Han could successfully assassinate King Yan in the Jieyi Palace, but he was a student of Taoyuan after all, and I heard he was a practicing genius, so she had to be on guard. However, she had carefully planned everything and arranged everything to prevent the worst outcome. In the end, It still happened, and it happened in a way that I didn't even expect.
The more people play with their minds, the more they will find that there are limits to human control of the situation. It is up to people to plan things and to achieve them by God. This saying is really very reasonable.
In addition to being afraid that Shui Han would assassinate King Yan, Yan Qing was also worried about Shui Han's safety. As she said, although Shui Han's life and death had nothing to do with her, she really didn't want to see Xiao Ting's only descendant. Died in the same way in this ruthless palace of Prince Yan.
Yan Qing stopped these considerations in time and did not speak out. After all, the situation has become irreversible. Now the death of Old Yan King is still a secret. She can only hope that the one who dies is his shadow, not himself. But there has been no news from his closest father-in-law, Sixi, so this hope has probably been dashed.
So now, we must prepare for the worst.
"have what?"
While Yan Qing was wandering, Shui Han obviously wanted to hear what was going on. His eyes were always focused on Yan Qing's eyes.
Yan Qing lowered her eyes, avoiding Shui Han's intensely curious eyes, and said calmly:
"It's nothing, it's not important anymore. The matter is over. The most important thing now is to find the insider and find out the real culprit, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Shui Han, Xiao Tian, and Young Master Zhong nodded their heads after hearing this.
Now that King Yan has been killed, the suspect points directly at Shui Han. Outside, the court guards are searching for people throughout the palace. The number one suspect Yunlong is hiding in the dark with an unknown purpose. There is no clue about the spy he arranged in the palace, whether it is for The interests of Taoyuan are still the interests of Yan State. Shui Han, the others and Yan Qing, the princess of Yan State in front of them, are undoubtedly grasshoppers on a rope now. Only by finding the real culprit and breaking the conspiracy can Shui Han's grievances be washed away and Yan Qing can be guaranteed. If the country’s security is compromised, then it’s time to take action.
