Sign in at the beginning of the day

Chapter 30 The truth is revealed again
East Palace.

The prince first changed his clothes, tidy up his appearance, and then took Jiangnan to a room similar to a study.

"Jiang Guoshi, do you still have an impression of what happened when you were three or four years old?"

The prince first asked Jiang Nan to sit down and poured him a cup of tea.

Then, he swiped on the bookshelf.

Jiang Nan didn't know why he asked such a question, so he shook his head and said, "I can't remember."

"Ben Gong also forgot a lot. After all, I was still young at that time. But...some things, as long as they happen, people can't forget them for a lifetime."

The prince continued, "That probably happened when Ben Gong was four years old."

"At that time, Ben Gong and Huai Su had a good relationship, and they often played together in the Imperial Garden."

"One day, my mother bought two Western Regions Tuhua dogs."

"Jiang Guoshi, do you know this dog breed?"

Jiangnan nodded.

Xiyu Tuhua Dog, a small dog breed, is well-behaved, but fierce in temperament, especially in childhood, when he grinds his teeth, he bites and bites.

It is said that it has the blood of a monster, but this kind of dog hates iron tools.

Many dignitaries in Daxia like to keep this kind of puppy as a pet.

"Because the two puppies are still young, they will bite the railing when they grind their teeth. So the mother ordered two exquisite wooden cages to be made and temporarily locked in them."

"But always within a few days, the wooden cage will be bitten by them."

"Later, Huaisu asked the maid to put the two puppies in the same cage."

"In the beginning, the two puppies were fighting with each other, and there was no time to bite the cage."

The prince looked at Jiangnan and emphasized: "At that time, Ben Gong was four years old, and Huaisu was only three years old."

"But the Western Regions Tuhua Dogs are extremely spiritual - it didn't take long for them to have a tacit understanding, forming an alliance and destroying the cage together."

"Later, Huaisu asked the maid who feeds the puppies to give the puppies a little more food every day. Today, they will give the first dog a little more, and tomorrow they will give the second dog a little more."

"Although the two puppies are smart, they have started to fight again in the face of such uneven methods of alienation."

"So until the two puppies grew up, they didn't break a cage again."

The prince looked self-deprecating: "At that time, Ben Gong still thought that Huai Su was very smart."

"But it wasn't until Ben Gong succeeded in winning the heirloom that he was made the crown prince and began to learn the techniques of the king with his father."

"This palace then understands that putting the two puppies in the same cage and letting them fight each other is the way of balance in imperial art."

"The king is the cage, and the puppy is the officials and officials. Let them fight each other and suspect each other, and there is no time to figure out the king's mind."

"Even if they are allied together, they can create gaps by unequal distribution of benefits."

Speaking of this, the prince couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "Jiang Guoshi, can you understand the mood of Ben Gong at that time?"

"Those tricks to play with people's hearts, the means that Ben Gong will use to manage the court in the future, turned out to be what Ben Gong's own sister played with when she was three years old..."

The prince took a deep breath, and there was a hint of fear in his words.

Jiang Nan also had goosebumps all over his body.

He pondered for a long time before he said, "So this is the reason why Your Highness is afraid of the princess?"

The prince shook his head: "But it's not. Although this palace is conceited, it is not so afraid of the sister of the same mother."

"If Huaisu really has such talent, then the throne should have been her seat!"

"Just like the Xuanwei Empress, who led the Wu Tie Kingdom from the country of small balls to a contract with Daxia, and it has developed to this day. The throne of Wu Tie was originally reserved for those with virtue and ability."

"But... is it really Huaisu who did those things?"

While speaking, the prince took out a pile of bamboo slips from the bookshelf and flipped through a bundle at random.

On it, it is densely filled with words.

"In the 430th year of the Utie calendar, on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the princess ordered her subordinates to buy two pots of golden scale flowers. A few days later, she asked her maid who gave the two pots of flowers."

"In the 430th year of the Wutie calendar, on the 27th of the first month, the princess met Princess Chen for a poetry meeting, but when it was time for the poetry meeting, she couldn't remember it at all."

"..."

One after another.

It was the news sent back by the spies the prince placed near Huaisu.

All the records are of Huai Su's inconsistent words and deeds.

These messages give a rather disconnected feeling.

Jiang Nan frowned. In the world of his previous life, this situation was generally called schizophrenia.

"As time goes on, Ben Gong finds that many times, Huaisu's behavior is contradictory."

The crown prince frowned: "Of course, this may just be because she really has a bad memory, but until Ben Gong asked Huaisu twice about the Western Regions tea flower dog, the answer was different."

"For the first time, Waisu said she had absolutely no memory of it."

"The second time, she said it was taught to her by her late uncle."

"At this point, Ben Gong suspects that there is another soul living in Huaisu's body..."

Hearing Jiang Nan gasped.

I originally thought that this was a small-minded and suspicious prince.

But did not expect ...

The problem seems to be with Princess Huaisu...

Of course, this must be based on the premise that what the prince said is true.

"That's why His Highness released that absurd rumor to justify monitoring the princess... another person in her body?" Jiang Nan frowned.

"Yes, this palace is afraid that the fish will die and the net will break and hurt Huaisu, so I don't dare to monitor it openly, and I don't dare to tell my father and mother."

The prince's tone was firm, "Even if this will make Huai Su feel dissatisfied, even if she will harbor resentment, Ben Gong must do it."

His face suddenly turned cold: "One day, Ben Gong will find its flaws and make it go away!"

That's why the prince had to place spies by Huaisu's side no matter what.

"Your Highness, has the princess noticed this?" Jiang Nan asked.

The prince shook his head and said, "She shouldn't know, and she always thought it was because of her bad memory."

Jiang Nan nodded and stayed for another half an hour.

He just said goodbye and left, and he did not ask the prince to remove the spies he had placed.

In other words, at this moment, he also believed the prince's words a little in his heart.

After returning to Ning'an Palace, I learned from the maid that the princess was in the study.

Jiang Nan pushed open the door and entered, and saw Huai Su sitting at the desk.

"Jiangnan, you are back."

She closed the book, her face was bloodless, giving a haggard feeling.

"Princess, if you feel unwell, take a rest." Jiang Nan advised.

Everyone in the palace knew that Princess Huaisu was frail since childhood and always looked sick.

"It doesn't matter, I have been in bad health since I was a child, and the imperial doctor can't see anything different."

A smile appeared on Huai Su's pale face, and it seemed that she was used to it.

Suddenly, Jiang Nan thought about it.

The technique of [Tongyou] is cast out!

The target...it is Princess Huaisu!
[Tongyou] is a magic technique of psychic ghosts and gods, go up to Dabi and fall down to Tongjiuyou!
But it has no effect on the living.

This point, Jiangnan has done a test before.

However... on a living person like Princess Huaisu, the technique of opening the secluded has a reaction!

Jiang Nan's face suddenly became difficult to look at.
