The soft beauty is so good at teasing, the villain prince asks for a kiss

Rong Heqing looked at King Annan and covered his mouth.

He looked like he knew some big secret.

King Annan completed her unfinished words and asked coldly, "Spy on me?"

Li Qiu lowered his head and said with difficulty, "Yes, His Majesty has ordered me to investigate the prince's plot...treason."

"Investigation? Haha..." King Annan seemed to have heard a big joke. He laughed loudly but quickly stopped. He leaned over and pinched Li Qiu's chin, forcing him to look up and look into his eyes. "Is it an investigation or a frame-up?!"

Li Qiu had no place to hide under his all-seeing gaze, his teeth chattering, "Your Highness knows it very well."

Rong Heqing opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief: "Are you kidding? My father is loyal to His Majesty——"

Li Qiu interrupted her and asked softly, "...Is it true that Your Majesty has never had any rebellious intentions?"

King Annan narrowed his eyes suddenly and said nothing.

The silence speaks.

Rong Heqing slowly restrained his expression, looked at the stern profile of King Annan and sighed in his heart.

What’s so fun about the game Jiu Zu Candy Crush?

In the dead silence, King Annan released Li Qiu's chin, wiped his hands slowly with a handkerchief, and said, "Continue."

Li Qiu laughed with an ambiguous meaning, "Your Majesty has long been afraid of the cavalry in the hands of the prince, and has always wanted to reduce the prince's military power. However, the border is not peaceful, the court lacks a general who can take charge of the situation, and the prince's actions are impeccable, so Your Majesty has no choice but to endure it, but secretly planted Liu Yiqing as a chess piece for the future."

"Liu Yiqing climbed all the way to the position of Tongzhi and successfully gained the trust of the prince. He sent a lot of secret reports to Yundu. However, the secret reports have become less and less in the past year. Your Majesty suspected that he had defected to the prince, so he sent two groups of people."

"Two groups?" Rong Heqing was surprised, "Who else is there besides you?"

The King of Annan stood with his hands behind his back, "Prince Duan."

Rong Heqing frowned. Who is Prince Duan?

"That's right. Your Majesty will send Prince Duan to bring the young master to the capital. Secretly, he will send the Xuanwu Guards to contact Liu Yiqing first to see if he has rebelled. If so, he will be killed on the spot. If not, he will be asked to find a way to obtain evidence of the prince's rebellion to prove his innocence. We will be responsible for supervision and assistance."

Seeing Rong Heqing's confusion, Li Qiu added, "Prince Duan was not feeling well, so the convoy was moving slowly and had not yet reached South City. The Xuanwu Guards rode their horses day and night and arrived first."

Rong Heqing suddenly realized, and the disjointed clues in his mind instantly connected together.

The emperor had been wary of the King of Annan for a long time, so he asked the King of Annan to send his son to the capital as a hostage and specially sent Prince Duan to pick him up. If the King of Annan disobeyed the order, the emperor could take him down. If he agreed, he would have a second plan.

The emperor sent Xuanwu Guard Supervisor Liu Yiqing to produce evidence of the King of Annan's rebellion. It didn't matter whether it was true or false. As long as the accusation was proven, the emperor would immediately lead his troops to Nancheng.

It doesn’t even matter whether Liu Yiqing betrayed us or not. As long as he can produce evidence in the end, the account of previous betrayal can be written off.

When the King of Annan received the news that the emperor wanted his son as a hostage, he did become rebellious and gathered his aides to discuss the matter, but he happened to be interrupted by her and the matter was left unresolved.

Then the incident of Mr. Huang happened, and the clues led to Liu Yiqing.

She had been unable to understand before, how could a Tongzhi like Liu Yiqing collude with Master Huang and allow him to do whatever he wants in her name? Now that she thought about it, Master Huang might have known his identity as a spy and used it to threaten him.

So after Mr. Huang got into trouble, in order to protect himself, Liu Yiqing ordered the people of Xuanwu Guard to take the risk and silence him.

The King of Annan was well prepared. The Xuanwu Guards failed and encountered another group of unknown forces while fleeing in a panic. They were chased by Chu Suifeng, who stepped in to muddy the waters and saved a living person - Li Qiu who was kneeling in front of them.

"Hu——" Rong Heqing exhaled a breath, thinking that it was a good thing that he still had a system, otherwise he would not be able to beat them.

The average person has eight hundred minds, and each one of them is a smart sieve.

What Li Qiu did next was similar to what Rong Heqing had guessed, and he had no idea where that interfering force came from.

"...Liu Yiqing told us that the man surnamed Huang knew his identity as a spy and used this to threaten him to take Huang's sister as a concubine. He was also forced to accept a lot of bribes. The two have a vested interest. If Huang opens his mouth, he will surely die. So he asked us to silence him, even if there is only a glimmer of hope. We have to take a chance."

Li Qiu smiled bitterly, "We thought so too, so we went to the prison, but we didn't expect that the mantis was catching the cicada and the oriole was behind us, and we were almost caught in one fell swoop."

Rong Heqing and Chu Suifeng looked at each other and saw a bit of solemnity in each other's eyes.

If the "praying mantis" is Li Qiu, then who is the yellow bird? They still don't know. And behind the yellow bird, there is another group of people who have not even shown their faces, but are restraining their every move.

The water in South City is really deep.

"Master, why did you hand Li Qiu over to Princess Changle? Instead of the King of Annan? Isn't this a waste of time?"

Guan Zhen stood opposite the desk, looking at the person behind him in confusion.

The slender white fingers loosely grasped the bamboo slips, and when he heard the words, they slightly moved to the side, revealing Shu Xian's pale and handsome face.

He raised his dark eyebrows and smiled, "Do you think this is unnecessary?"

Guan Zhen nodded hesitantly, and said with a cupped hand: "I am a stupid subordinate, please teach me, Master!"

Shu Xian put down the bamboo slips, rolled them up carefully, turned around and placed them on the bookshelf, then pushed his wheelchair all the way to the window.

When the wind blows out of nowhere, heavy rain is coming.

He blinked slowly against the wind. "King Annan is very suspicious. If we give him the person directly, he will definitely keep an eye on us. We will end up getting into trouble instead of doing him a favor. It's not the time for us to show up yet."

Guan Zhen thought for a moment, "So the master handed the person over to the princess, and the princess handed him over to the King of Annan. He would suspect the princess and divert his attention."

Shu Xian curled his lips and nodded.

Guan Zhen's expression became subtle, and he muttered, "The princess is beautiful, and the master is ruthless in taking advantage of her."

"Beauty is the least worth mentioning thing. Compared to these, I am more curious about what she will do next." Shu Xian said softly.

"What did the master say?" Guan Zhen didn't hear clearly and took a step forward.

Shu Xian came back to his senses, lowered his eyes and said, "Nothing, Tang Yiming hasn't come back yet?"

"Maybe soon."

Before Guan Zhen finished speaking, Tang Yiming's voice rang out from outside the door, "Master, I'm back!"

"Enter."

Tang Yiming pushed the door open and walked in, presenting a secret report with both hands, "Here are the details of all the officials in Nancheng, please take a look."

Shu Xian took it and glanced at it casually, finally revealing a genuine smile, "Thank you for your hard work, now let's just wait for the show to begin."

"What a big drama with hidden clues!" King Annan laughed out of anger after hearing what Li Qiu said.

[Alert! Alert! The target's evil thoughts have soared - 65, 72, 78, 84... Host, please take immediate action to prevent him from getting worse! ]

Rong Heqing pinched his brows helplessly. How could the situation not get worse after being plotted against like this?
