What kind of bad thoughts can Mr. Xiao have?

Chapter 4
The concubine wants to win the holy family, and the chief executives must always be favored. The princess Jiafu who ordered him to be beaten to death because she bent the light silver thread on the hairpin affected her mood. What about Wei Huai'en?Does she also care about looks and hairpins?
Certainly not, he couldn't apply any experience he had had to her.Not only because in his heart, none of those people could compare with her, but also because he knew that the path she was going to take was unique in the world...

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning, but he grasped the rebellious thought, and suddenly understood that what Wei Huai'en wanted was definitely not just to live in place of the prince's brother, to enjoy the power and freedom of this seat. .

He looked at the blue sky, and recalled how the servants who were able to walk in front of the emperor dared to show off to other servants in a low voice after drinking too much yellow soup. maze.

"It turns out that my Highness has been on this road from the very beginning."

Xiao Qi peeked at Wei Huai'en's side face when she was facing the mirror, watching her wipe off the sword eyebrows and draw out the soft and beautiful distant mountain eyebrows.

Shui Jing put some rouge on her, and her majesty and hostility were also gradually put away by her. When her hair was tied up, she was the charming and charming Princess Jiarou with a smile on her face again.

In fact, their siblings look alike, Xiao Qi thought.Even His Highness doesn't need too much disguise to make people think that she is the prince himself.It was only today that he realized that His Highness's daughter was her disguise.

Those apricot eyes don't like to act cute all the time, just because she has to act like a princess.Innocent, harmless, carefree because of the love of his elder brother and father.

What she should look like in such an environment is what she will act like.Maybe the one he saw by the soup pool last night could be the real her.

Even without powder and daisy, without gorgeous robes, she can still refine her breathtaking beauty with the ambition in her chest and the flames burning in her eyes all the time, like a poisonous snake, like a long sword, like all extremely dangerous and tempting things.

Make it impossible for you not to 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 the Shui Jing changed back into the female officer's attire, when he saw Xiao Qi who hadn't moved for a long time from the corner of his eyes, he moved towards him with evil intentions.

"Master...Master."

The turbulent heart calmed down instantly, and he was almost scared back by the beauty right in front of him.

"You're quite tall..."

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

"Slave Yonghe was born in three years, and will be seventeen next month."

He looked at her lips and replied.

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

Wei Huaien is relieved, don't worry about his height will make others suspicious.

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

The warm breath sprayed on his neck without Adam's apple, Xiao Qi opened his mouth to find his own voice and said:
"...beautiful, Your Highness is extremely beautiful."

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

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

They gradually walked away, Xiao Qi chased a few steps before he missed Wei Huai'en's voice:

"Don't you think he's good-looking? It's fun to be praised by beautiful people. And he's quite interesting, isn't he?"

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

"It's not pretty," he said to the reflection, and then he swiped the water and turned away, smashing himself to pieces.

Go to the study.

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

As soon as Wei Huai'en stepped into the upper study room, the emperor had already put down his pen and got up, calling her to sit at the small table by the window.Eunuch Le set the chessboard again, and teased Wei Huai'en with the words of the emperor, so that she could go on as usual without having to bother to perform.

But it's still different.While thinking about how to help the "Prince", she also pretended that the prince's brother was still in the East Palace and could sue the emperor, so the emperor could see the clue.

"Is Huai En blaming Father?" Emperor Yonghe's smile restrained, and he tapped the jade chess piece with his fingers.Feeling the solemn atmosphere, Eunuch Le stepped back calmly and winked at Wei Huai'en.

"Father saw it?" Wei Huai'en pretended to be incredulous.

"Then why is the father still pressing on every step of the way? I'm about to lose."

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

"Obviously the father didn't let me go at all, and even said he would feed me a few steps, I'm going to my brother to sue you!"

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

Emperor Yonghe, who thought that Wei Huai'en didn't bother with hunting ground assassination at all, regained his harmony, as if the temptation just now was just a joke.

He could pin his fatherly heart on the well-behaved and innocent Princess Jiarou, and he could see how much he loved her because of the affection of the former queen and Wei Huai'en's sensibility, but he couldn't allow her to hold grudges.

Even this time, it was because he didn't pay attention to her suggestion that the prince was injured because of protecting him.

But isn't that all as it should be?It is true that he is a father, but he is also the emperor of Liang Chao, and no one is allowed to disrespect him.

Both Huaide and Wynn were good boys, one shared his worries and the other relieved him of boredom, but they were both born under his imperial power, and what he could give, he could take back.

After playing a few rounds, Wei Huai'en resigned knowingly.Shui Jing was by her side carefully watching her face, but he didn't think about how to speak until after her palace.

"Your Highness, when are you going back to the East Palace? Do you want to bring anything with you?"

Although Shui Jing hoped that she could rest in her own palace for a while, the princess had been depressed all the way back from the study. She didn't know what happened inside, but all she heard were laughter and laughter. meeting……

"Shui Jing, leave me alone for a while."

"Your Highness..."

"Go down."

The setting sun is not as vital as the afternoon, which makes Wei Huai'en feel sad.It's not that she didn't see through the emperor until today, it's just that from today onwards, she has no reason to deceive herself to continue muddling along.

No one is born to live with resentment and hatred. If she can, she can always be an ambitious princess who only stops at ambition, even if the emperor regards her as a civet cat, who loves her obedience and dislikes her Minions are okay too.

She can live well, better than any woman.But that presupposes that she doesn't have to be consciously alive as a real person.Once she wants to go her own way according to her own ideas, she can realize how hypocritical those pets who pretended not to care in the past are.

Deep in her heart, she hoped that her father would really love her unconditionally, so that when she couldn't hold on one day, there would be a way out.

But just a little restlessness can make the emperor suspicious. She has no doubt that if she does not change the subject with a reasonable reason, what awaits her is punishment and grounding, and her crime is to contradict the emperor.

But hasn't she reminded her father not to rush in?Didn't she remind her brother to be careful?Because of the emperor's conceit, because of her brother's stupid filial piety, she has already lost a relative, can't she feel even a little bit of resentment in her heart?

All his thunder, rain and dew are due to your kindness!She just wants to hate and resent. Is such a father a blood relative, or a superior master?Just a little bit of distraction today made him feel dissatisfied, so what will happen one day?

She has no retreat at all. From the moment she stepped out of the originally arranged life track, there is no warmth in this world.

She touched the strict laws of the imperial power, but this corner actually made her feel cold.She has to grow up quickly, the dreams surrounding her have been completely shattered, since she is going to fight, she has to make herself harder than anyone else.

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

East Palace.

"What did the assassins find out last night?"

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

"His Royal Highness, I have found out that the assassins did not come from the same main family. Here is the list. Please have a look at the crown prince."

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

"Send them to Dali Temple. Gu here no longer needs the protection of the Tiger Guards. You can return to your life with your uncle. Xiao Qi, send them to Xiaowei He."

When Xiao Qi came back, Wei Huai'en handed him a list that he had sketched.

"Two things are left to you. You have already seen the people left behind by Shui Jing, but there are other people in the Eastern Palace who I don't know about in the past three months. Check it out.

And the people on this list, I don't care what method you use, tell me their movements in 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 people and hidden guards. Get familiar with them as soon as possible. I don't have much time for you."

"Yes, master."

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

"Marquis Dingyuan..."

"Yes, Marquis Dingyuan has been having a lot of banquets recently, not only the ministers on the list are regular guests of his house, but the servant also listed other guests who often visit the door."

Xiao Qi handed over another list.

"The slaves found out that the families that the assassin confessed to had all stayed in the forest garden of the Marquis of Dingyuan the day before His Highness was assassinated. It would take five or six hours to travel from the capital to the palace, plus the time to hide and wait. The orders issued at that time were all in line.”

"So you think the mastermind is Marquis Dingyuan?"

Wei Huaien put the briefing on the small table beside the couch and raised his hand to signal him to come over.

　Wei Huai'en: You successfully aroused my interest
