Chapter 371 Scapegoat

Yu Linwei told the story of the kidnapping of the eldest prince from beginning to end.

Luo Qinghan didn't react after hearing this.

He asked Xiao Lingfeng to go to the Chenliu Palace to inquire about the situation, and then sent two more people to the palace to see what the current situation of the palace was.

After arranging all this, Luo Qinghan took Xiao Xixi into a nearby teahouse.

The two sat down in the private room by the window.

Xiao Xixi put the porcelain pot on the table and ordered all the famous refreshments here.

She also specially asked the man to bring some shrimp skin and lean meat.

Luo Qinghan glanced out the window from time to time.

Xiao Xixi fed the shrimp skin and lean meat to Xiao Xi, and seeing something delicious, Xiao Xi finally stuck her little head out of the turtle shell and ate it carefully.

Xiao Xixi watched Xiaoxi's eating while eating tea.

Not long after, Xiao Lingfeng and the other two Yu Linwei returned.

Xiao Lingfeng said: "The end general has found out, and King Chenliu's condition suddenly worsened. It is said that there was a problem with the prescription. Qiu Lei suspected that the prince had killed King Chenliu, so he surrounded the palace with soldiers and horses, and wanted to tell the prince. Let me discuss. It happened that the prince was not in the palace, so Qiu Lei took the eldest prince away. Now the eldest prince is locked in the Chenliu palace, and the current situation is unknown."

The other two Yulinwei said immediately.

"We went back to the vicinity of the palace to take a look. The palace is now completely surrounded by the Chixiao Army, and people inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in."

Luo Qinghan tapped the table with his fingertips, as if thinking about something.

Xiao Xixi raised her head and asked curiously, "Are we going to save the eldest prince?"

Luo Qinghan: "Don't go."

Xiao Xixi lit a candle in her heart for the poor eldest prince.

Luo Qinghan glanced at her and took the initiative to explain: "Although Qiu Lei is impulsive and irritable, he is not stupid enough to murder the prince. At most, he is just trying to scare the eldest brother, the eldest brother should be safe in his hands. ."

The person who really made him feel dangerous was actually Qiu Yuan.

Xiao Xixi blinked, wanting to say that you don't have to explain so much to me.

But then she remembered her identity as a concubine, and immediately put her hands on her cheeks, showing a small expression of admiration.

"His Royal Highness is really a person who values ​​love and righteousness, and is far-sighted! Concubine can marry you, concubine is fortunate for three lifetimes!"

As a little wife, the most important thing is to learn to blow rainbow farts!

You have to seize any opportunity you can to uninterruptedly and frantically output rainbow farts!

As long as you are human, you will definitely like to listen to good things, and the prince must be the same.

really.

After listening to her praise, Luo Qinghan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Xiao Lingfeng next to him lowered his head silently, pretending that he didn't see or hear anything.

He used to be a little worried that Xiao Xixi wasn't smart enough to win over the prince's heart, but now it seems... Oh, he shouldn't be so careless!

After getting along for this period of time, he can see that the prince just likes Xiao Xixi's stupidity. If he wants to change to a more shrewd woman, it is estimated that the prince has already left people behind.

Maybe this is the inferiority of men. The smarter you are, the less you want the people around you to be too smart.

Especially a man in a high position like a prince, he definitely prefers stupid ones, because stupid people are better controlled and less prone to accidents.

At this moment, a Yulinwei hurried in and said quickly.

"His Royal Highness, just now, the Chenliu Palace released news that assassins had sneaked into the city. Now the Chixiao Army is searching for assassins in the whole city. The subordinates glanced at the assassin portrait they were holding. It was His Royal Highness!"

Xiao Lingfeng suddenly raised his head and said in shock, "What does Qiu Lei mean? Not only does he frame the prince as an assassin, but he also arrests the prince. Is he trying to rebel?!"

Luo Qinghan said lightly: "Qiu Lei is just a scapegoat, the one who really planned everything behind the scenes should be Qiu Yuan."

"What does this have to do with Qiu Yuan?"

No wonder Xiao Lingfeng didn't think of Qiu Yuan, but Qiu Yuan was too low-key, but Qiu Lei kept jumping around, showing a strong sense of existence, and people had to pay more attention to him.

Luo Qinghan rubbed the teacup in his hand carefully and said slowly.

"Qiu Yuan has arranged everything a long time ago. He first used the hand of Qiu Lei and wanted to use Rong Ji's hand to hold Qiu Sheng. Unfortunately, Qiu Sheng did not follow his predetermined plan. Instead of being threatened, Qiu Sheng turned to Chen Liu Wang confessed everything, and the chess piece of Rong Ji was abolished."

"The sudden aggravation of King Chen Liu's condition should also be attributed to Qiu Yuan. He knows Qiu Lei's character very well. Qiu Lei is already dissatisfied with Gu Xin, and coupled with his provocation, Qiu Lei can easily be fooled."

"Even if Qiu Lei guesses that there may be something strange about this matter, it doesn't prevent him from taking the opportunity to teach Gu a lesson so as to regain his position."

"And once Qiu Lei makes a move against Gu, it means that he has been charged with a great disrespect."

"When the time is right, Qiu Yuan can kill Qiu Lei in the name of Gu, and take over the Scarlet Heaven Army logically."

"When King Chenliu dies, Qiu Yuan will be the only heir to the throne."

"Even if the court investigates afterwards, Qiu Yuan can put all the blame on Qiu Lei, all the bad things are done by Qiu Lei, and in order to rescue the prince, he did not hesitate to kill relatives, kill his own brothers, and even catch up with himself. The father and king, he is not wrong either in love or reason."

"In addition, he holds the military power of the 50,000 Chixiao Army in his hand, and the court still needs him to help guard Chenliu County. Even if the father has doubts about him, he will not move him for the time being."

...

After Xiao Lingfeng heard these words, he suddenly opened his mouth and felt a chill in his heart.

How cold-blooded is a person who can even sacrifice his own father and brother in order to fight for power and profit.

But then again, the Crown Prince inferred the general context of the whole thing just by relying on some phenomena.

Does this mean that the Prince's way of thinking is similar to Qiu Yuan's in some respects?

They are actually one kind of people.

The more Xiao Lingfeng thought about it, the more he felt chills down his spine, and he didn't even dare to look at the prince again.

Xiao Xixi didn't think so much, she raised her hand and asked, "Your Highness, there is a problem with my concubine!"

Luo Qinghan motioned to her.

Xiao Xixi: "Even if Qiu Yuan has calculated everything, you are still there. As long as you return to Shengjing, the truth will be revealed. Isn't everything Qiu Yuan did in vain?"

Luo Qinghan: "That's why Qiu Yuan can't wait to catch Gu. As long as Gu dies and pushes the charge on Qiu Lei, no one will know the truth."

"But the concubine knows the truth, and so does General Xiao!"

Xiao Lingfeng was suddenly named and subconsciously raised his head.
