No word is allowed to be omitted!”

After Du Wei left the palace, the waiter returned to the little emperor and reported some of Du Wei's events in the palace today. Except at Princess Karina's place, the two closed the door and talked. The content of the conversation

Apart from the unknown, Du Wei did not hide other things from the palace waiter.

After talking about Du Wei's words and deeds with Princess Delly...

"Huh? Could it be that..." Charlie frowned and thought hard: "Listen to what this means, does Princess Delly have some ulterior motives that the teacher caught?

He stood up and took a few steps back and forth: "Other things in the past...what does that mean? Also, that thing last year? What happened last year?"

He quickly called for Chike, the head of the palace guards, and asked him carefully.

Chike frowned: "Your Majesty... last year..."

"Oh?" Charlie looked at the direct descendant whom his father trusted most during his lifetime: "It seems that you know something about what happened last year?"

"I'm not sure. Something did happen last year, but I don't know what it has to do with Princess Delly." Chike said sternly: "Moreover, the late king issued a hush-hush order about that matter. Only

Only a few people know about it. As of now, the only ones I know about it are the late king, Duke Tulip, the court magician, and me. The late king strictly ordered not to reveal even a single word..."

"Nonsense! Now that I'm asking you, do you dare not to say anything?" Charlie said angrily.

Chike struggled for a moment. After all, he was loyal to the royal family. Since the regent died of illness, his loyalty has been transferred to the young emperor without reservation. The head guard sighed and lowered his voice: "That time last year

Your Majesty, do you still remember the New Year’s dinner?”

How could Charlie forget?!

At that dinner, he admired the Muse in his heart and invited the Muse to dance the first dance as the emperor. However, such honor was actually rejected by the other party, which made him always resentful.

"Dinner party? What happened?"

"During the dinner, Duke Tulip once left the venue..."

"Yes, I remember." Charlie nodded: "My father sent someone to ask him to go back to discuss something."

"The fact is: someone faked the order and deceived Duke Tulip into the back, and then an assassination took place! Fortunately, Duke Tulip was very powerful. Although he was seriously ill at the time, he still managed to kill the assassin, but suffered a few injuries.

It’s just a minor injury.”

Charlie was shocked and his eyes widened: "Assassination?!!"

The little emperor's eyes suddenly changed. He jumped up and sat down again. But in his eyes, he was obviously thinking hard about something.

"What's your purpose for doing this?"

After returning to the Duke's Palace, Du Wei faced a special guest in his study.

The old man was wrapped in a blanket and unceremoniously occupied the most comfortable chair behind the desk in Du Wei's study, but Du Wei himself could only sit on the guest chair.

Lan Haiyue sighed and asked this question. Du Wei did not answer immediately. He just glanced at the old man sideways and said, "Can you please stop acting like this? You are also a saint-level strongman, so don't do it."

He is like an old man who has never experienced anything."

"I'm old, I'm used to it." Lan Haiyue smiled lightly, but tightened the blanket tightly: "I'm different from you, your body is much stronger than mine. I'm not good at martial arts in the first place. It's normal for me to be weaker.

."

Du Wei snorted and stopped talking nonsense with this guy: "What did you ask me just now?"

"You know that the palace attendant next to you is the eyes and ears of the Little Emperor's faction."

"Isn't this obvious? I am a foreign minister running back and forth in the palace. The people around me will definitely report it when they return." Du Wei curled his lips.

"Then you deliberately said those words to Princess Dai Li's men in front of that person, and you wanted them to spread to the little emperor's ears?" Lan Haiyue looked at Du Wei with a smile.

"Not bad." Du Wei nodded and admitted.

The old man sighed: "You... are too cunning."

Du Wei smiled as expected: "I can't help it... The little emperor is getting older, and after taking power, he seems to have become more and more willful. But he always thinks he is smart and likes to do some clever tricks.

If I lie to him and tell him directly that Princess Dai Li is not a good person and tell him that Gao Cha and his family have no good intentions, I'm afraid he won't believe it. Especially now, when he wants to praise Gao Cha! Hum!

He only believes in himself, as a kid, he is too strong."

"So you deliberately played this trick. Is it too obvious? Even idiots know that the palace attendant next to you is the eyes and ears, and you still said those words in front of him." Lan Haiyue shook his head.

"If it were Chen...of course I wouldn't use such a clumsy trick." When Du Wei said this, his eyes twitched and seemed a little sad, but then he sighed: "Unfortunately, the little emperor's IQ is limited. If I play

The child's knowledge is too deep, and I'm afraid he won't be able to understand it. This little trick not only achieved my purpose of spreading the message, but also made the little emperor "feel smart" to discover something. In this way, this matter is not something I told him.

It's easier for him to believe it than it is for me to tell him directly if he 'discovers' it by himself."

After a pause, Du Wei said slowly: "As for my purpose is very simple, you old man, don't you still understand? Humph!"

That's true...

After the little emperor heard those words, he would naturally ask: What happened last year?

Very good, then, he checked as the emperor. Although Prince Chen had issued a hush-hush order, Charlie is now the emperor! He can easily find out what happened last year: he was assassinated!

So, next, the little emperor will definitely think: Why is Princess Delly so afraid of Du Wei's assassination? Could it be that Princess Delly was behind the assassination...

Apart from anything else, as a princess, she was actually involved in the assassination of an important official of the empire...

You ask, can the emperor still trust this kind of person? Can he still trust this kind of family?

Continue to think further: Why did Princess Del Rey assassinate Duke Tulip? Is there any deep hatred between the two?

Is it because the two families are political enemies?

Or... what reason did Delly have to be caught by the Tulip Duke and wanted to kill her? What kind of shady reason did she have?

In this way, the little emperor Charlie could easily have a slight grudge against the Gaocha family in his heart. In the recent harmonious relationship, Du Wei used this silent method to cut a rift.

Come.

Du Wei said with a smile: "The little emperor just likes to be smart. There are some things that I directly say will not work well. I deliberately pretend to be accidentally discovered by him, but he believes it instead."

He sighed again, his tone a little lonely: "It's sad to say that... Chen is such a smart guy, if he were alive, I wouldn't use such low-level children's tricks. Alas... It's hard to find an opponent.

...This guy died at the wrong time."

Lan Haiyue snorted: "You feel uncomfortable when he is alive. You feel sad when he dies."

Du Wei was stunned for a moment, but nodded, with a sad tone: "Yes, that's true."

The old man and the young man sat across from each other for a while, and Du Wei asked another question: "Old man...Old Bai, he finally left you. Do you really not know where he went?"

"I don't know." Lan Haiyue shook his head: "Before he left, he seemed to be looking for something. You know, if he doesn't tell me, I won't be able to find out even if I ask."

Du Wei smiled bitterly: "I really hope he can be here now."

"Why?"

"I..." Du Wei shook his head: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to return to the northern frontline in the short term."

He shook his head vigorously and looked at Lan Haiyue: "Old man, I told you about the Snow Mountain. Aren't you sad at all?"

"Why am I sad?" Lan Haiyue snorted: "At my age, I can see everything."

Even though he said this, there was still a trace of sadness that could not be concealed in the old man's eyes.

"Okay then." Du Wei smiled bitterly: "I will send someone to take you back. In the next few days, I will visit you to ask for advice."

Lan Haiyue smiled: "Oh?"

"Philip is far away in the northwest." Du Wei spread his hands: "When I come back now, I have a lot of problems. I don't even have anyone to discuss it with. Philip is my most trusted staff member. He is not with me. You are his

Teacher. I have no choice but to look for you. Besides... no matter what I say, you can be regarded as senior brothers in terms of status."

After sending Lan Haiyue away, Du Wei also truly rested.

Since he returned to the imperial capital last night, he went to the palace early in the morning. It was already evening when he came back, and he invited Lan Haiyue to discuss it for a long time. It was already late at night.

After a busy day, he didn't even eat a bite of food. He was already very hungry and finally breathed out. As soon as he walked out of the study, he saw Vivian running towards him and almost ran into Du Wei's arms.

inside.

Du Wei gently hugged Vivian in his arms, but Vivian exclaimed and almost jumped up: "Ah! Don't, don't hold me!"

"What's wrong?" Du Wei smiled and looked at his little woman tenderly: "I haven't been back for many days. Don't you miss me? Don't you like me hugging you?"

Vivian's pretty face turned red, her eyes looking at Du Wei were full of longing, but a little shy: "Ah, no, no, no."

"No? You mean you don't miss me?"

"Ah, no! No!" Vivian was so anxious that she almost burst into tears.

Du Wei didn't dare to tease her anymore, so he hugged her gently, kissed her gently on the tip of her nose, and said softly: "You miss me, right?"

"Um……"

"You like me to hug you, right?" Du Wei smiled even deeper.

"...Well..." Vivian's eyes were almost watering, but she lowered her head and did not dare to look into Du Wei's eyes.

"You are already mine, why are you so shy?" Du Wei laughed and said, "Come on, give your husband a hug."

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, Vivian slipped out of Du Wei's arms like a little rabbit. Du Wei was about to pounce, but Vivian had already exclaimed, her face changed, and she cried sadly: "Ah! Pressure!"

, squashed! It’s all you!”
