What kind of bad thoughts can Mr. Xiao have?

Chapter 82 Chapter 81

"Ruan Yan."

Wei Huaien rested his chin on one hand, and looked at him with a smile, not caring about the scrutiny and scrutiny in his eyes.

"What do you want to test me for? Since I've already seen through it, why don't you just say it here."

Ruan Yan stared at Wei Huai'en for a long time, and finally did not use that gentleman's face to practice Tai Chi, and fulfilled Wei Huai'en's wish and expressed his plan.

"...To be honest, I didn't expect you to come to see me instead of going down the mountain."

"You think no matter what, according to my nature, after receiving the letter, I will rush back to Beijing to deal with it, and even pre-emptively expose the collusion between King Duan and Bei Zhai as soon as possible, so that King Duan can be completely convinced. For crimes, ranging from confinement to death.

As long as you get rid of him, King Rong is nothing to be afraid of, so it doesn't really matter whether King Duan has the intention of rebelling, I must be the best candidate for the position. "

Wei Huai'en stated his original plan generously, Xiao Qi raised his head and glanced at her side face, but when she found out, she even scratched his palm, as if the matter of life and death was just an ordinary chat.

"Since you have already planned your next move, why don't you use my letter as an excuse to attack King Duan?"

Ruan Yan withdrew her gaze and made tea by herself.

"If someone asks, I must say that it's because I don't want to be led by the nose for no reason. But I'll tell you the truth, the real reason is that he doesn't allow me to go down the mountain, and insists on going back to the capital for me to go to Longtan alone. .”

Who "he" is is self-evident.

Xiao Qi, who was originally serious and defensive, unconsciously frowned.

Ruan Yan raised her head in surprise to look at Wei Huai'en, who was not hiding anything, and then at Xiao Qi, who looked relaxed: "It's because of love? This doesn't look like your style."

"So what? Anyway, I didn't go down the mountain, so you should talk about why you pushed me."

Wei Huai'en took the tea soup he handed over, and sniffed the refreshing tea fragrance.

"Mengshan Academy will have to make a choice sooner or later. Rather than procrastinating, it is better to be earlier. Besides, since you have been chosen, it is bound to clear the way for you. If you go down the mountain today, I will immediately send a letter to everyone You are building momentum, but you actually..."

Just like him, Wei Huai'en drank the tea soup like a cow chewing a peony, and then pushed the empty teacup to his hand.

"Ruan Yan, you are not the kind of person who seeks power every step of the way. I think you should be happy to see that I didn't go down the mountain."

An offensive gaze that was enough to make Wei Huai'en feel that her soul was seen through fell on her face again. This time, Ruan Yan changed her posture again, pressing her hand on the table as if confirming something, and looked at Wei Huai'en with an expression. Change and change.

Finally, his eyes fell on the hands that Wei Huai'en and Xiao Qi were holding, and he withdrew his eyes, and filled Wei Huai'en and Xiao Qi's respective teacups.

"It's hard for me to make up my mind to go out and help His Highness Jiarou to be the counselor behind the scenes, but I'm very glad that you are still the little Highness back then, and your heart has never changed.

In fact, a prince who is too affectionate and righteous is not suitable to be a king. Today, almost all his brothers and sisters have been slaughtered, and all the remaining clans have been slaughtered. Only then can the imperial power flourish and spread across the world.

But although you have more ties, but with me, you don't necessarily have to take that road to reach the sky, right? "

Ruan Yan blinked at Wei Huai'en, with a childish expression on his face, but it didn't violate the harmony, as if this person shouldn't be bound by any rules, he was natural.

"Okay, okay, good you Ruan Yan and Ruan Shanchang, the only person in the world who can use the royal family's rivalry as a chess game is probably only you besides my father."

Wei Huaien said so, but he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"That's wrong." Ruan Yan shook her head.

"Actually, you also know that King Duan must be eliminated, but I still don't want to see you become a hard-hearted strategist.

I think the bait I left in the letter is enough weight, as long as you have the intention to kill King Duan, you will act regardless of whether it is true or not. "

"Actually, it's not like I didn't want to kill King Duan, but I think I can wait."

Wei Huai'en admitted it frankly.

"But you have weaknesses and concerns. These are the reasons for you to think twice before acting. Hesitation is not a shortcoming. I would rather you be able to look forward and backward than to ignore the bloody process for the sake of the result."

Ruan Yan took out another envelope from her arms and put it on the table, and pressed her palm on it so that neither Wei Huai'en nor Xiongqi could see who the letter came from.

Xiao Qi spoke first: "Master Ruan Shan has prepared a second letter?"

"I didn't prepare it." Ruan Yan handed the letter to Xiao Qi.

"Deputy Envoy Xiao, I would like to trouble you to go out for a while. I have something to say to His Highness alone. Please read this letter after you go back."

Wei Huai'en looked suspiciously at Ruan Yan and Xiao Qi's actions with lowered eyebrows, only to see Xiao Qi get up suddenly after seeing the words on the envelope, put the letter into his arms and look back at her with complicated eyes, and finally patted her With the back of his hand, he went outside the door.

"What's the matter?" Wei Huai'en was beating his heart, and asked Ruan Yan in a anxious tone.

"About your mother, the former empress."

When Ruan Yan's words fell to the ground, it seemed that the wind that had been blowing slightly had stopped.Wei Huai'en froze for a moment, and when he spoke again, he was not very smooth.

"You, what did you say?"

Ruan Yan took a deep breath and spoke after deliberation:
"Listen, what I'm going to say next is just my guesswork.

Originally, if I could support you to kill the king, I also planned to persuade you to take action against Jin in advance and ascend the throne as soon as possible, so as to avoid more troubles in Ye Changmeng.

But since you are not the ruthless person who is bent on fighting for power, I shouldn't hide it from you anymore.

You can be soft-hearted to anyone, even Duan Wang who participated in the poisonous killing of Prince Huaide.But today, you must not be soft. "

Wei Huaien stared at the opening and closing of his lips, struggled to keep up with his words, and guessed his allusion.

"You mean, my mother's death is related to my father's emperor?"

Ruan Yan looked at Wei Huai'en, who was devastated by mentioning the first queen, and nodded, although she couldn't bear it.

"If my guess is correct, the death of the previous empress was all caused by this person."

"what……"

Wei Huai'en suddenly bent over his desk and laughed non-stop, even if it involved the wound in his ribs.It was still Ruan Yan who couldn't see and sat in the smiling position and patted her trembling shoulder.

"Your Highness? Can you listen to what someone said? Maybe... maybe after listening to it, you just think it's someone's nonsense?"

"Say it, Ruan Yan."

Wei Huai'en, who raised his head again, covered his face with his sleeves and half-lyed on the back of the chair, his voice seemed extremely tired, as if he had aged many years all of a sudden, and he had lost even a little vitality.

"...Your Highness, have you already had such a guess?"

Ruan Yan couldn't see the expression on her face, and didn't know whether it was good or bad to tell her at this time.

"Ruan Yan, don't think I'm a fool. My mother died early, how can I be that heartless person who doesn't have the slightest suspicion? Don't play tricks, maybe your guess is exactly the same as mine..."

"Alright then, let's talk about this matter before I leave Beijing..."

After half an hour.

Wei Huaien pushed open the door.

Xiao Qi didn't open the envelope with the name of the former empress on it, and immediately greeted her when she came out.Seeing that Wei Huai'en's eyes were red and his face was haggard, he should have cried a lot, and his unkind eyes immediately shot to Ruan Yan who was standing behind her.

"What did you say to His Highness?" Xiao Qi supported Wei Huai'en who was on his chest, instinctively hugged her and patted her back to reassure her.

Ruan Yan looked hesitant to speak, opened his mouth but only said:
"Deputy Envoy Xiao, it's better to take His Highness home first. If she is willing, she will talk to you."

Xiao Qi wanted to ask again, but Wei Huai'en put his arms around his neck, his light voice was almost inaudible if he didn't pay attention.

"Xiao Qi, take me back, let's go back..."

At the end of the path, there were figures of students flashing by, Xiao Qi didn't delay anymore, he picked up Wei Huai'en and went back to the small courtyard where he was temporarily staying in three steps at a time.

As soon as Wei Huai'en lay on the bed, he grabbed his hand and didn't answer any questions. He just closed his eyes and shrunk into a ball, reminding Xiao Qi that after hearing the real cause of Wei Huaide's death from Yan Weiguang that day, she was also silent like this No sound, heartbroken.

"Wynn, I'm here..." He lay beside her and rubbed her into his arms, finally making her cry.

In fact, in Xiao Qi's heart, Wei Huai'en has always been soft and playful, a well-bred raccoon slave who will only flash his paws to scare people even if he is pushed.

It's easy for him to forget how ruthless Wei Huai'en is when he is ruthless, but the taste of love is so wonderful, no matter who is infected, it will look like a jar of honey.

Close your eyes and you can recall each other's sweet taste.

But now all the sharp memories came to him in the midst of her crying, reminding him of how much hardship she and she have gone through, how much pain they have endured to come to today.

What is it that can make Wei Huai'en, who is more than a little stronger than three years ago, panic again, like a river oyster that just wants to shrink into his shell and escape from everything?

He knew how much she was attached to her brother, and how much she missed her mother who died young.But the more he got to know her, the less he could casually guess the reason behind it, and he could only become her embrace that she could temporarily avoid, letting her not think about it.

"Xiao Qi... Where's the letter?"

She pillowed in his arms, curled up between his neck, and it took a long time to get better.

"In my arms."

He patted her on the back without asking or urging her.

She held the yellowed envelope in her hand, but did not open it.

Xiao Qi took out the handkerchief to wipe away the tears on her face, and kissed her forehead softly and delicately, waiting for her to accumulate strength and turn back into Wei Huai'en from the sinking despair and sadness.

Don't worry too much.

He is also very sure now that Wei Huai'en is the kind of person with seven apertures and exquisite heart.Among the people who could become a pillar in her heart, the first queen was one, and Prince Huaide was one. As for him, a living person, he shamelessly counted himself as one.

When she found out the truth about Prince Huaide's death, he remembered that she, who had always been strategizing and making plans before moving, completely gave up all long-term plans and went mad to fight Yan Weiguang on the spot.

After he was shot by an arrow in Mingzhou, she also completely tore up her face and confronted the emperor, even if she had to fight for the command of the Nanlin Dingyuan Army, she still wanted to save his humble life.

She is always shielding others from the wind and rain, always trying her best to protect everyone close to her, but when it comes to her previous protection, her previous reliance, and the empress who is still missed by the government and the public, she has to go all out again. With whom?

Xiao Qi didn't feel at all that the plans and methods he had done behind her back were unworthy of the stage, he didn't feel that he was overreaching, he didn't feel that he was overstepping.

Some things, some people, should not come directly to her.

He could have saved her from all the people and things that made her sad.

and so……

"Wynn, just tell me what you want to do. No matter what it is, I will help you do it."

He caressed her cheek, imitating the vague image of his mother in his memory to comfort her and coax her, as if she was just a wronged child outside, as long as she was in his arms, there would only be her and him in this world .

It worked.

"Xiao Qi... Ruan Yan told me that my mother's queen... was forced to death by my father..."

Wei Huaien put the letter on his chest and looked up at Xiao Qi.

She waited for his reaction after hearing this sentence.

Sorry, sorry.She couldn't help but want to test him.

Although the intimate relationship between them is unique in the world, who in the world is the king, who can easily disrespect the majesty of heaven that hangs over everyone's head?

But Xiao Qi would not let her down before, now and in the future.

"So what? Wynn dare not rebel? "

He was half joking, half seriously responding to her uneasy eyes, even more arrogant than her.

"Le Wuyou is nothing to be afraid of. Xuan Yusi can fall into my hands at any time. I have recorded every courtier in the capital. As long as we return to the capital, I am [-]% sure that I will send Wynn to the throne."

Wei Huaien didn't hear the seriousness in his words, but thought he was coaxing her.But just this kind of intention is rare enough for her to tell him all her secrets.

"Just coax me, Xiao Qi..."

She took his hand, took a deep breath, raised her head and kissed the tip of his chin, arched her body and looked up at him.

"Why don't you ask, why did I trust Ruan Yan so easily? Xiao Qi, didn't you love to be jealous of these unreasonable things before? Why do I say what I say today?"

Xiao Qi shook his head.

"You are not a person who listens and believes. I know this letter is from your mother. It is absolutely impossible for you to... be so sad just because you heard what Ruan Yan said."

He combed her hair, his clear voice had a special magical power, like a long wind passing through the forest, he could easily break through many obstacles and see through her heart.

"Wynn, that's your mother. You must have been pretending to speculate. It was only today that Ruan Yan confirmed something. Am I right? "
