Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Lots of doubts

The concubine must win the favor of the saints, and the chief stewards must always be favored. The Princess Jiafu who ordered him to be beaten to death was because she bent the light silver wire on the hairpin and affected her mood. What about Wei Huai'en? She

Do you also care about looks and hairpins?

Definitely not. He couldn't apply any of his previous experiences to her. Not only because in his heart, those people couldn't compare with her, but also because he knew that the path she wanted to take was unique in the world...

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind like a flash of lightning, but he caught the rebellious thought and suddenly understood that what Wei Huaien wanted was definitely not just to live in place of the crown prince brother and enjoy the power and freedom of this position.

.

He looked at the blue sky and recalled the ways of serving that those chamberlains who could walk in front of the emperor only dared to show off to other chamberlains in a low voice after drinking too much yellow soup. He unexpectedly discovered that those few words actually guided him now.

The maze.

"It turns out that my Highness has been walking on this path from the beginning."

Xiao Qi took advantage of Wei Huai'en's face in the mirror to peek at her profile, watching her wipe off her sword eyebrows and draw out her soft distant eyebrows.

Shui Jing put some pink rouge on her, and her majesty and fierceness were gradually put away by her. When her bun was done, she was the charming and smiling Princess Jiarou again.

In fact, their brother and sister look very much alike, Xiao Qi thought. His Highness didn't even need to disguise herself too much to make people think that she was the Crown Prince himself. It was only today that he realized that His Highness's daughter body was her disguise.

Those apricot eyes don't like to look coquettish all the time, just because she has to look like a princess. Innocent, harmless, and carefree because of the love of her brother and father.

She acted out as she should be in such an environment. Perhaps what he saw by the soup pool last night could be the real her.

Even without powder or gorgeous robes, she can still temper her breathtaking beauty with the burning ambition in her chest and the ever-burning fire in her eyes, like a poisonous snake, like a long sword, like all extremely dangerous and confusing things.

You can't help but bow your head in front of her.

How could he not be impressed by her.

"Xiao Qi?"

Wei Huai'en was about to go out with Shui Jing, who had changed into a female officer's attire, when he saw Xiao Qi, who had not moved for a long time, out of the corner of his eye and approached him with evil intentions.

"Master...Master."

The turbulent heart suddenly calmed down, and he was almost frightened by the beauty in front of him and backed away.

"You're quite tall..."

Wei Huai'en raised his head and asked him: "I haven't asked yet, how old are you?"

"Slave Yonghe has a baby in his third year. He will be seventeen next month."

He looked at her lips and replied.

"Two years older than my brother, that makes sense."

Wei Huai'en was relieved, he didn't have to worry about his height making others suspicious.

"By the way, Xiao Qi," Wei Huai'en tiptoed closer to him, "Am I beautiful?"

Warm breath sprayed on his Adam's apple-less neck. Xiao Qi opened his mouth before finding his own voice and said:

"...Beautiful, Your Highness is extremely beautiful."

The person in front of him smiled and rolled his eyes, turned around and left with Shui Jing. Xiao Qi heard Shui Jing's confused voice:

"Your Highness, are you too close to that chamberlain?"

They gradually walked away, and Xiao Qi chased him for a few steps before he missed Wei Huaien's voice:

"Don't you think he's good-looking? It makes me happy when a beautiful woman praises me for my beauty. And he's quite interesting, isn't he?"

Xiao Qi stood on the corridor and touched his face, then walked to the water tank with lotus flowers in the courtyard and stared at his reflection, imitating Wei Huaien's smile just now and narrowed his eyes.

"It doesn't look good." He said to the reflection, then turned around and left, shattering himself into pieces.

Go to the study room.

"Have you met your brother? Are you happy now?"

As soon as Wei Huai'en stepped into the study room, the emperor had already put down his pen and stood up, inviting her to sit on the small table by the window. Eunuch Le set up the chessboard and teased Wei Huai'en with the emperor's words, so that she didn't need to worry about performing.

It can be the same as usual.

But it was still different after all. While she was thinking about how to help the "Prince", she also pretended that the Prince's brother was still in the East Palace so that she could sue her father, but the Emperor still got the clue.

"Is Huai'en blaming Father?" Emperor Yonghe's smile faded and he tapped the jade chess pieces with his fingers. Eunuch Le felt the solemn atmosphere and calmly took a few steps back and winked at Wei Huai'en.

"Father, have you noticed?" Wei Huai'en pretended to be incredulous.

"Then why do you keep pressing forward every step of the way? I'm almost losing."

She deliberately made a bad move that seemed to put pressure on Kuroko, but could easily reverse the situation.

"Obviously, my father didn't give in to me at all, and even said he would feed me a few steps. I'm going to go to my brother to file a complaint against you!"

"Okay, okay, let you, let you."

Emperor Yonghe, who thought that Wei Huai'en was no longer obsessed with the hunting ground assassination, regained his composure, as if the temptation just now was just a joke.

He could place his fatherly heart on the well-behaved and innocent Princess Jiarou, and he could favor her because of the late empress's affection and Wei Huai'en's sensibleness, but he could not allow her to hold a grudge.

Even this time it was because he didn't pay attention to her advice that the prince got hurt because he was protecting him.

But isn’t that what it should be? It’s true that he is the father, but he is also the Emperor of the Liang Dynasty, and he does not allow anyone to disrespect him.

Huaide and Wynn are both good boys, one shares his worries and the other relieves his boredom, but they are both dependent on his imperial power. If he can give, he can take it back.

Wei Huaien played a few games and then resigned. Shui Jing stayed by her side and carefully looked at her face, but he didn't think about how to speak until he arrived at her palace.

"Your Highness, when will you return to the East Palace? Do you want to bring anything with you?"

Although Shui Jing hoped that she could rest in his palace for a while, the princess had been depressed on the way back from the study. She didn't know what happened inside, but she clearly heard laughter and laughter. Why?

meeting……

"Shui Jing, let me stay alone for a while."

"Your Highness..."

"Go down."

The sunset was not as vital as in the afternoon, which made Wei Huai'en feel desolate. It wasn't that she had seen through the emperor until today, but from today on, she no longer had any reason to deceive herself and continue to muddle along.

No one is born to live with resentment and hatred. If she can, she can always be a princess with a little ambition but no more than ambition, even if the emperor treats her as a raccoon cat and loves her obedience but dislikes her

Minions don't matter either.

She can live a very good life, better than any woman. But that is only if she does not have to live soberly as a real person. Once she wants to follow her own ideas, she can realize those things that she pretended not to care about in the past.

How hypocritical is his love.

Deep down in her heart, she had a little hope that her father would really love her unconditionally, so that when one day she couldn't hold on any longer, there would still be a way out.

But just a little bit of restlessness can make the emperor suspicious. She has no doubt that if she fails to change the subject with a reasonable reason, she will be punished and grounded, and her crime is to contradict her father.

But didn't she remind her father not to rush in? Didn't she remind her brother to be careful? Because of the emperor's pride and her brother's foolish filial piety, she had lost a relative. Couldn't she feel even a little bit resentful?

Damn it, all the thunder and rain are your kindness! She just wants to hate and complain. Is such a father a blood relative, or a superior master? Just a little distraction today made him feel dissatisfied. Then one day the matter will be revealed.

Woolen cloth?

There was no way out for her. From the moment she stepped out of her originally arranged life trajectory, there was no warmth left in the world.

She came into contact with the strict laws of imperial power, but this aspect actually made her heart sink. She had to grow up quickly. The dreams surrounding her had been completely shattered. Since she was going to fight, she had to make herself harder than anyone else.

If this is the real world, then come on, she is not afraid.

East Palace.

"What did the assassin's trial last night reveal?"

After returning to the East Palace, the commander of the Tiger Guard Camp came to report.

"Your Highness, I have found out that the assassins are not from the same master's family. Here is the list. Please take a look at it."

Wei Huai'en glanced at the list and found it very familiar. He took out a piece of paper he had written in the morning from the pile of paper next to the desk and compared it, and found that it was almost the same.

"Send them to Dali Temple. We no longer need the protection of the Tiger Guard Camp here. You can return to life with your uncle. Xiao Qi, send them to Captain He."

When Xiao Qi came back, Wei Huaien handed him a sketched list.

"I'll leave two things to you. You've already met the people Shui Jing left behind, but there are other people in the East Palace who have been planted in the past three months and I don't know their details. Check them out.

As for the people on this list, I don’t care what method you use, just tell me their movements over the past month, especially in the past few days, before the day after tomorrow.”

Xiao Qi took an iron plate from her.

"You can use all my men and secret guards. Get familiar with them as soon as possible. I don't have much time to give you."

"Yes, Master."

Wei Huai'en didn't wait too long, and Xiao Qi came back the next night.

"Marquis Dingyuan..."

"Yes, Marquis Dingyuan has been having a lot of banquets recently. Not only are the ministers on the list frequent visitors to his house, but I also listed other guests who often come to his house."

Xiao Qi handed over another list.

"My servant found out that the families who were betrayed by the assassin stayed all night in the forest garden of Dingyuan Marquis the day before His Highness was assassinated. It took five or six hours to rush from the capital to the palace, plus the time to hide and wait. If

The orders issued at that time were all correct."

"So you think the mastermind is Marquis Dingyuan?"

Wei Huai'en put the briefing on the small table beside the couch and raised his hand to motion for him to come over.

Wei Huaien: You successfully aroused my interest
