Rong Heqing stood at the door, feeling a little nervous. She didn't know whether her father had finished talking with that sieve geek Qin Yunxian, or what they talked about. What if she wasn't allowed to hear it?

She pinched her fingers nervously. In just two breaths, she had imagined a big drama in her mind. She was even prepared that if the King of Annan insisted, she would "extort" 999 to give her a hypnotic golden finger.

999: [Are you really a human? ]

Rong Heqing smiled slightly: [It was true before, but not necessarily now. ]

999: [? ? ? ]

[A man who keeps company with a red man becomes red, and a man who keeps company with a sieve becomes cunning. This will be my motto from now on.] The villain in Rong Heqing's heart stood with his hands on his hips with a righteous expression.

999:.

As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the study suddenly opened, and King Annan stood behind the door and looked down at her, "Why are you here?"

Rong Heqing glanced through the gap and saw Qin Yunxian pushing his wheelchair over. He met her gaze, curved his lips slightly, and said in a gentle voice, "I have something else to do. Goodbye."

King Annan turned sideways and said, "I'll see you off, Your Majesty."

"No need."

Qin Yunxian refused and slowly pushed the wheelchair out. When he passed by Rong Heqing, he paused, raised his head, and said softly, "Princess, goodbye."

Rong Heqing smiled hypocritically, "Goodbye, Your Majesty."

Goodbye, sieve spirit.

Qin Yun nodded, and someone immediately put up wooden boards on the steps. Guan Zhen received them from below. As the wheelchair slid down, he grabbed the handrail at the back and pushed him away.

After the others left, Rong Heqing looked at King Annan's face and asked in a low voice, "Father, what did he say to you?"

King Annan turned his head and glanced at her, "Come in and talk."

Rong Heqing immediately closed the door and quickly followed him into the study.

Opposite the desk was a porcelain cup with flower and bird patterns. The tea lid was slightly shifted, obviously having just been used.

Qin Yunxian should have been sitting here just now.

Ronghe took a quick look, turned around and sat down on the armchair at the side.

"Are you here regarding Prince Duan's matter?"

King Annan sat down behind the desk, staring at her with deep eyes, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Rong Heqing didn't intend to play tricks on him. She shook her head and nodded, "Yes, and no. My daughter remembered something this morning and wanted to ask how father dealt with Liu Yiqing?"

"The person is still in jail and has not been dealt with yet."

When Liu Yiqing was mentioned, the face of the King of Annan darkened. "Do you suspect that he is related to the Prince of Duan?"

"Before, when Li Qiu was hung up, a note was posted to remind us that Liu Yiqing was a fence-sitter. I have never understood this. Anyone who can remind father must be on his side. Why is he hiding it? Now that I think about it, if it was Prince Duan who sent the letter, it would be very reasonable. I suspect that he has been eyeing the palace for a long time. He has been patient for so long, I am afraid he has big plans."

King Annan raised his eyebrows and glanced at her. That look was so complicated that it made Rong Heqing's heart tighten and she had a feeling that something was wrong.

She asked hesitantly, "Father seems to have known about it?"

The King of Annan nodded, "Prince Duan has just admitted this."

Rong Heqing: "..."

She said that it was impossible for a sieve spirit to do good deeds without leaving a name.

"Prince Duan has no relationship with us, so he wouldn't be so kind." Rong Heqing frowned, "What conditions did he put forward?"

The King of Annan stroked the pattern on the teacup with his fingertips and whispered, "He advised me not to act rashly. Rebellion will do more harm than good. If you can trust him, you can join forces with him. If you can't trust him, remember to owe him two favors."

"It's a bit too much to ask for two favors for such a small thing. Father, don't you agree?"

Rong Heqing looked at him nervously.

"If you can see it clearly, how can your father not see it clearly?" King Annan smiled and glanced at her.

Rong Heqing: "..."

She stared at him resentfully. King Annan decided to quit while he was ahead. He picked up a letter from the table and threw it at her with just the right amount of force, and the letter landed right on the low table next to her.

Ronghe Qing secretly sighed that his martial arts skills were truly amazing, while picking up the letter and quickly scanning it.

There were a bunch of names listed above, with their official titles noted at the back. Rong Heqing didn't react when she read the first few words, until she saw the names of Jian Yuan and Zhou Ze, she suddenly took a breath.

Zhou Ze and Jian Yuan were both confidants of the King of Annan, and the others were listed with them, so they were probably the same. Then this was not just a list, but also evidence of the King of Annan's collusion with officials and conspiracy to rebel!

It doesn’t matter whether there was a real rebellion or not. All the emperor wanted was an opportunity to legitimately reduce his military power.

When this memorial was presented to the emperor, he must have been very happy.

The sieve spirit does great things quietly, but with one move he cuts off others' retreat.

Rong Heqing felt a chill on her back and her scalp tingling. She put down the memorial and looked at King Annan, "Is this his bargaining chip?"

The King of Annan nodded, "He gave me this memorial and asked me to choose. If I agree to join forces with him, no one else will know about this memorial, and I will be taken care of when I am sent to the capital as a hostage in the future. If I have evil intentions and insist on going my own way, this memorial will be sent to the emperor tomorrow."

Rong Heqing closed the letter and felt deeply moved.

It seems like there are two paths, but in fact there is no choice at all. The Xuanwu Guards were completely wiped out, and Prince Duan was the only imperial envoy left. Whether to rebel or not is a matter of his word.

No wonder this man sneaked into South City but never showed up. It turned out that he went to investigate these things.

In a moment, Rong Heqing guessed Qin Yunxian's thoughts.

The emperor openly sent him to bring the hostage to the capital, which was a courtesy first. If the King of Annan refused, he would use force later.

Secretly, he sent the Xuanwu Guards to contact Liu Yiqing, the chess piece, to see if Liu Yiqing had rebelled and if the King of Annan wanted to rebel. If not, he would have someone instigate him to rebel, and then expose him with evidence, substantiate his crime of treason, and take him down in one fell swoop.

However, the emperor had a good plan, but he did not expect that the sieve spirit had his own ideas.

He quietly sneaked into the South City and secretly collected evidence against the King of Annan. If he did not rebel, he would use the evidence to exchange for cooperation; if he rebelled, he would kill him and take advantage of the chaos to get a piece of the pie. Maybe he could even plant a few of his own people here, and when he returned, the emperor would praise him for a good job.

Dark, this guy is really dark!

But then again, if the King of Annan had not had thoughts that he shouldn't have, he wouldn't have been caught.

Rong Heqing sighed, what a mess it was.

"What is Father going to do?"

"This king needs three days to consider."

King Annan sighed softly, leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

Rong Heqing looked at him and suddenly saw two strands of white hair on his temples.

Those who were full of vigor and vitality before, after experiencing a series of setbacks, inevitably show some signs of fatigue.

She felt something in her heart and looked at King Annan's evil thoughts value.

The evil thoughts that had once broken through the ninety mark last night have now fallen back to sixty-five.

It seems that he reflected a lot that night.

Rong Heqing stood up and walked around the table, put down the memorial, took out the wooden fish, stood beside King Annan and knocked it, "Father, don't worry, your daughter will recite a Qingxin Mantra for you."

Without waiting for King Annan to refuse, she started beating the wooden fish, and the rhythmic and clear sounds instantly soothed his restless heart.

His chaotic thoughts were gradually smoothed out, and his frown gradually relaxed.

Rong Heqing placed the wooden fish on the table, knocked it, and reached out to press his forehead.

She finished reciting the mantra to purify the mind, and King Annan even felt a little sleepy.

[Congratulations to the host, the mission target's evil value has been reduced by 5, and the current remaining evil value is 60]
