Zheng Lixiao hasn't seen Qin Wenxian in the past few days, although he is very concerned about it, but he is not free either.Xin Wang just lost Xiao Desheng, and he was in a very bad mood, so he watched him very closely.

King Xin could probably tell that even Shan Lie, who had never been involved in forming cliques, stood in King Yi's camp and helped King Yi intentionally or unintentionally.

Entering the palace to greet the emperor this day, Zheng Lixiao and Zheng Lijie happened to meet each other.In front of the emperor, the two were respectful brothers and sisters, and they were in harmony, asking the emperor not to work hard and just rest in peace of mind.

After Fuquan sent them out of the bedroom, Zheng Lixiao was going to find Shan Lie, but Zheng Lijie suddenly stopped Zheng Lixiao, with a usual simple and honest smile on his face, "Third brother, are you free, can we chat? "

Zheng Lixiao smiled slightly, "That's natural, why should you be polite with me, Brother Huang, let's go to the Imperial Garden and sit down."

The place where he made an appointment with Shan Lie was also in the Imperial Garden, presumably when Shan Lie sees him with King Xin, he will know it and avoid it automatically.

In the gazebo of the Royal Garden, after Zheng Lixiao ordered Dexi to serve tea and fruit, he turned away, leaving only him and Zheng Lijie.

Zheng Lijie took a sip of tea, and the simple and honest smile on his face faded away, leaving only a touch of coldness, "Third Brother, you have been proud of yourself recently, and it seems that you have received help from many capable people. Brother Huang really envies you."

Zheng Lixiao saw that his face changed, his eyes turned cold, and he shook his fan, "Brother Huang, are you going to pretend? All these years, we all thought you were a loyal and honest person, but we were all deceived by you." It's been so hard."

Zheng Lijie stared at him coldly, "Third brother, why don't you pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger? I thought that in this palace, our brothers are the people who understand each other best. It's a pity that I don't have the ability to do it like you." Stranger."

Zheng Lixiao closed his fan and smiled faintly, "Brother Huang, why did you say that? I can't match Brother Huang's skills. I think that Eunuch Fuquan is absolutely loyal to Brother Huang."

Fuquan is the chief eunuch, who takes care of the emperor every day and is the emperor's confidant.

Zheng Lixiao also obtained the truth after many years of observation and verification by Shan Lie recently.

The shrewd, capable and caring Fuquan has long surrendered to Zheng Lijie.Fuquan often said good things about Zheng Lijie in the emperor's ear, and he could often inform Zheng Lijie. This is one of the reasons why the emperor was unable to decide on the candidate for the crown prince.

"Third brother, do you know, I always thought you were my biggest enemy in the palace." Zheng Lijie tightened his fingers holding the teacup as if to crush it, gritted his teeth and said with a smile, "A smart person like you, If your mother and concubine hadn't come from a low background and died young, maybe you would have been a prince long ago."

Speaking of these, Zheng Lixiao thought of the fact that his sister was killed by Empress Xie, and the lazy smile on his face couldn't hold back anymore, his face became more and more gloomy, "Brother Emperor, if we want to settle old scores, there may be a time between us. I can't figure it out halfway."

It is an indisputable fact that Zheng Lijie is the eldest son and his family background is higher than him, and it is also the reason why his father values ​​him.

He also sent secret guards to investigate the suspicion of Zheng Lijie's life experience that Qin Wenxian had mentioned, but he did not find anything to grasp.

Presumably even if there was, with Zheng Lijie's insidious personality of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, he would have already dealt with it secretly.

Zheng Lijie sighed, "So, the love between you and my brothers is exhausted, and it's time to settle those unclear accounts."

Zheng Lixiao sneered, "Brother? Born in the emperor's family, how can there be any brotherhood? I have no brothers or friends in my life. Let alone you, the king of faith, do you dare to say that you are really my brother?" ?”

Zheng Lijie didn't seem to understand his subtext, so he didn't answer his words, and asked instead: "Don't you still have Qin Wenxian? If it wasn't for him, and the Promise Gate behind him, I'm afraid you wouldn't have gained power so quickly, would you?"

When his name was mentioned, Zheng Lixiao's eyes softened, and he lowered his eyes slightly, as if to cover the weakness in his heart.

That's right, Qin Wenxian helped him gain power, and he was very grateful to him, but he didn't want to treat him as just a friend.He is not reconciled.

Because he is the only person I put on my heart.

"The Qin family was supposed to be the most loyal to the imperial court. They had never been involved in any party, but six years ago, their family was ruined. Qin Wenxian is no longer the Qin Wenxian he was at the beginning. Brother, what do you say? Who is to blame for everything?"

Zheng Lijie could hear that he was complaining about Qin Wenxian, and there was no regret in his eyes, and he smiled lightly, "Actually, I saw it six years ago, third brother, you and Qin Wenxian have a very good friendship. You are such a heartless person , except for your own sister, I have never seen you treat others as hard as you did him, and even use your own secret guards to protect him.

I know that sooner or later, you will pull him into your camp, and at that time your power will only be stronger than mine.Since the Qin family is destined not to be used by me, I might as well take precautions before it happens. "

Zheng Lixiao's face froze, and he clenched the folding fan in his hand, "You...you wanted to eradicate my influence early when you attacked the Qin family?"

In this way, did he harm Qin Wenxian?

Zheng Lijie stared at him fixedly, his eyes filled with indifferent sarcasm, "Otherwise? You and I are the same kind of people, we are all for our own goals, unscrupulous people. I just never expected that that weird big demon Toujiang will save Qin Wenxian in the future, and they will stand in your camp a few years later."

Zheng Lixiao could no longer control his emotions. He swept away the teacup and fruit plate on the table with a wave of his hand, stood up angrily, and stared at Zheng Lijie fiercely, "Zheng Lijie, this king is not the same kind of person as you are! Just wait, I will definitely ask you to help me!" You pay for what you did!"

He left the gazebo angrily, not wanting to see Zheng Lijie's hypocritical, snobbish and indifferent face again.

When Shan Lie walked to the edge of Yuhu Lake, he saw King Yi throwing stones into the lake, with an angry expression on his face, completely different from his usual smiling and lazy look.

He remembered that it was here that King Yi's own sister, Princess Six, discovered the accident.In the past few years in the palace, King Yi would come here every time he was in a bad mood.

He has been working in the palace for a long time, even if he has never participated in any faction disputes before, it is not that he does not understand the intrigue between the princes in the struggle for power, and he is walking on thin ice.

King Yi is a smart person, with outstanding abilities and good at disguising, so it is naturally difficult to trust others. After a long time of welcoming people outside with a smiling face, there will always be times when he is depressed.

There was an accident in the Qin family six years ago, and he also saw King Yi came to this lake to sit alone several times.It wasn't until Qin Wenxian came back this year that he saw that Zheng Lixiao became happier.

It's not that he can't see that he really cares about Qin Wenxian, otherwise he wouldn't agree to help King Yi.

Seeing that King Yi is in such a bad mood today, it seems that he will not be able to calm down for a long time.

Shan Lie was a little strange, walked up to him, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong, Your Highness? Is something wrong?"

When Zheng Lixiao looked back at Shan Lie, he thought of Qin Wenxian and his family's destruction.

However, facing Shan Lie, he couldn't tell the truth about his rage, he only said vaguely: "Just now this king and Xin Wang had a quarrel."

Shan Lie felt that it was not that simple, just when he was about to ask, he heard him grit his teeth and said: "This king can't wait to kill him."

Shan Lie was taken aback, and immediately looked around. Fortunately, there was no one else by the lake, so he lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, this is in the palace, you'd better be cautious when you speak."

Zheng Lixiao clenched his fists tightly, his eyes seemed to be burning with flames that could not be extinguished, "This king has been cautious for so many years, and the matter has come to this, why should he bear it anymore? General Shan, don't you want to avenge the Qin family?"

Shan Lie didn't know why King Yi, who had always been cautious, suddenly broke out, but he still followed his heart and said, "Of course, the old General Qin's kindness to his subjects is as heavy as a mountain, and he will never repay you in this life."

Zheng Lixiao's eyes became firmer, "Okay, then this time, this king will not do anything."

Shan Lie looked at him with trepidation, he really had murderous intentions.
