Chapter 76 [Big Net]

The second prince's residence.

The second prince took off his shoes, half-knelt on the ground and ate hot pot.

There was a lot of mist on that flowing hair.

As a prince, he has no royal manners at all and does whatever he wants as he pleases.

"Bi'an, you also watched the battle today. What did you think?"

The second prince put some meat slices into the pot and asked without even raising his head.

On the side, Xie Bian was wiping the sword carefully with a rag in his hand.

His expression was serious and focused, as if he was not wiping the sword, but stabbing his lover.

Hearing the words of the second prince, he paused slightly without looking up.

The scene of today's battle flashed through his mind. He thought for a moment, shook his head, and said:
"I'm not sure I can win against her."

"After saying that, he seemed a little reluctant to admit it. After a slight pause, he still said truthfully:
"Her sword is faster than mine!"

Upon hearing this, the Second Prince's movement of eating meat also froze slightly.

Then he put down his bowl and chopsticks with a bang, and spat out the meat in his mouth with a "Puh".

“The meat that the Vegetarian Inspection Department recently sent to us is not fresh at all and tastes terrible!

Bi'an, go there tomorrow and say hello to that eunuch Dai."

"Yes!" Xie Bian replied.

As soon as he finished speaking, he sheathed his sword.

Not far away, Fan Wujiu was sitting under the light, reading seriously and very focused.

He seemed not to hear a word of what the two were saying.

I don't care at all.

I don't hear what's going on outside the window, and I only read the books of sages and sages.

His biggest dream was to pass the imperial examination and no longer be a swordsman.

"Wujiu, why didn't you go today?" The second prince came to his side, glanced at the contents of the book, and asked.

Fan Wujiu said indifferently: "I didn't go. It delayed my reading."

Second Prince: "..."

Xie Bian: "..."

Glancing at the night sky, the second prince narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Our Crown Prince is really a hidden talent.

A maid by my side actually has such ability.

The East Palace must be very lively tonight.

I have a good habit of kicking someone when they are down.

In addition to this, I also like to make others unhappy when they are happy. "

"Does Your Highness have a plan?" The scholar-strategist spoke at this moment.

The second prince smiled, shook his hair, and suddenly said strangely:
“Now, everyone in the world knows that the Tianya Society has been destroyed by the massacre army.

In the southwest Gobi Desert, human heads were everywhere, blood dyed the yellow sand red, and the smell of blood wafted for hundreds of miles.

If news gets out at this time, Tianya will reappear, revive, and still occupy the southwestern Gobi Desert.

You guys think, does the prince look very unhappy?

When the time comes, how will he explain to His Majesty and the people of the world?
Also, Qiu Zhu is the daughter of a criminal, and her father was exiled to the frontier and never recalled.

At this time, her father suddenly disappeared, how can she prove her innocence? "

As he was talking, the second prince suddenly laughed.

He just wanted to give Li Chengqian a blow when he was happiest.

Moreover, this stick must hit the vital point.

"Your Highness, in this case, the prince is committing the crime of deceiving the emperor!" The scholar counselor gave a thumbs up.

"Your Highness's plan is amazing!"

At this moment, Fan Wujiu also stopped reading, looked up at the Second Prince, and thought to himself, how insidious.

In this palace, everyone has eight hundred thoughts on their mind.

Fan Wujiu couldn't help but wonder, a simple swordsman like him, who only devoted himself to reading the books of sages, would one day end up being killed without knowing it.

"Please arrange this matter as soon as possible." The second prince looked at the scholar counselor and ordered.

"Yes!"

The scholar took the order and left.

"Your Highness, are you going to take action against Qiu Zhu?" Xie Bian asked.

The second prince smiled and said, "She is the best expert beside the crown prince. If we can get rid of her, it would be like cutting off one of the crown prince's arms. Why not do it?"

Xie Bian remained silent for a moment, then suddenly said:

“I’m afraid it won’t be easy.”

"It's okay. Even if this plan fails, I still have a backup plan."

Speaking of this, the second prince smiled strangely, and the smile on his face gradually became weird, with deep meaning. Guangxin Palace.

Li Yunrui was wearing a thin black veil and reading a book in her hands.

The personal female official stood aside and narrated what happened today.

"What is the background of Qiu Zhu?" Li Yunrui asked.

"She is the descendant of a criminal, and all the male members of her family were exiled to the frontier, while the female members were sent to the Jiaofangsi.

Later, he was rescued by the prince, who kept him by his side and nurtured him into a talented person.

She had been familiar with the art of war since childhood and often practiced deploying troops.

This battle in the southwest Gobi Desert is said to be a special operation.

However, this kind of military strategy is not recorded in history books. "

Li Yunrui put down the book in his hand and asked, "Prince?"

The only possibility she could think of, that this special operation came from the prince.

“So many secrets!”

After saying that, Li Yunrui suddenly asked, not knowing what he was thinking about:

"What is Xiao Yi doing recently?"

Speaking of Yan Xiaoyi, Li Yunrui has been feeling that this person is a little weird recently.

I rarely come to Guangxin Palace.

She saved Yan Xiaoyi's life and raised him.

Therefore, Yan Xiaoyi is very loyal to her.

However, as she grew older, Li Yunrui discovered that Yan Xiaoyi's feelings for her seemed to have deteriorated...

Li Yunrui doesn't mind this.

After all, this was one of her methods.

Back then, she used this trick to deal with the prince, bringing him under her wing and making him her subordinate.

She could see clearly what Yan Xiaoyi was thinking, but she pretended to be ignorant.

But recently, she discovered that Yan Xiaoyi rarely came to Guangxin Palace.

There was a tendency for it to slip out of her control.

When hunting in the royal villa, she sent Yan Xiaoyi to secretly protect Li Chengqian.

At the critical moment, save Li Chengqian's life.

But who knew that Yan Xiaoyi would take action against Li Chengqian.

That arrow pierced Li Chengqian, killing him to death.

This was the first time Yan Xiaoyi disobeyed her orders.

Li Yunrui has always felt strange about this.

I'd like to ask a few questions.

However, after that, Yan Xiaoyi acted as if he didn't know her and never came to Guangxin Palace again.

The reason behind this made her feel vaguely that things were out of her control.

"Commander Yan seems to be away from the palace recently." said the personal female official.

"Not in the palace?" Li Yunrui realized in an instant that there was something unusual about this.

"Could it be His Majesty..." Li Yunrui frowned slightly.

In the entire palace, the only person who can order Yan Xiaoyi to act is Emperor Qing, besides her.

"The arrow shot at the royal villa was His Majesty's intention." Thinking of this, Li Yunrui's eyes suddenly jumped.

"If I'm not in the palace, where else can I go..."

Li Yunrui stroked the pages of the book with his slender fingers.

After a moment, her movements suddenly froze.

"Southwest Gobi!"

This is the only reasonable explanation.

However, there is one thing that Li Yunrui is very confused about.

In the past, even when Yan Xiaoyi was out on a mission, he would come to Guangxin Palace to explain the situation to her.

But in the last two times, Yan Xiaoyi has repeatedly escaped from her control.

Li Yunrui had a feeling that Yan Xiaoyi was hiding something from her.

Moreover, Yan Xiaoyi now seems to no longer be loyal to her.

But loyal to Emperor Qing!

However, how could Emperor Qing use various means to make Yan Xiaoyi truly and completely return to his heart and be used by him?
Li Yunrui was puzzled.

However, she suddenly felt that a big net was gradually covering Li Chengqian.

And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not know anything about this...
