The next day, Zhou Huaiyan went out of the palace to the Duke's Mansion, but this time, he did not bring Ah Fei with him.

Hongdou didn't know what happened between the two of them, obviously last night the palace people heard the silver bell ringing almost all night, but today His Highness's mood is extremely bad.He didn't even bring Ah Fei with him when he returned to the Duke's mansion.

However, the maid of honor was only slightly puzzled, but she didn't dare to ask in front of her master.

......

Rewind time to last night——

All things are now basically clear in Zhou Huaiyan's mind.

Long before the assassination on the day Wei Guogong returned to Beijing, Jian Kong's entire big net began.It's just that the assassination was not aimed at Zhou Huaiyan, nor Duke Wei, but the third prince.

Yes, the third prince, Zhou Huaichen.

Yanzhou has a vast territory and fertile land. Since the founding of the country, it has been a famous place for grain reserves in Dazhou.As long as there is a little exploitation, it is not a problem to hide and feed a private army.In addition, Yanzhou is also a hub from the north to the capital, and from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River.

When Duke Wei returned to Beijing, he brought back tens of thousands of troops and slaves.But because Jiang Yi was eager to thoroughly investigate the top-secret plan of the alien king, he only brought a small army back to Beijing first.Therefore, it is difficult to be discovered by mixing some private troops into the later large troops in batches, and then transporting them to Yanzhou.

So the next step is to bring the Wang family, who overwhelms the sky in Yanzhou, under his command.

After the assassination, the Wang family was in decline, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the century-old foundation would not be destroyed. They even had no way out, so they could only turn to their savior, Master Jiankong.

"Since then, the third prince and the Wang family have become the most obedient sword in Jian Kong's hands."

What Ah Fei admires the most is that the master can still have such a clear sense and meticulous logic when doing this kind of thing.

The sound of the silver bell and the collision there almost occupied all his hearing, and the dizzy kitten could barely grasp the boy's final conclusion.

"Then... um... what is his motive? Just... just for the old relationship with the queen?"

A short sentence sounds a bit fragmented.

Zhou Huaiyan gently lifted up the red skirt with slits, his tone was still slow, but his voice was a little hoarse than usual.

"—Naturally, it's a battle for imperial power."

Jian Kong was able to be held to such a high position by the late emperor, and even that master can still be old with the current empress, which only shows that his original status in the secular world is absolutely extraordinary. If he is not a prince, he may be a royal.

But Jian Kong is now a monk, so naturally he cannot directly seize the imperial power, but needs a puppet.Therefore, he chose the third prince, and first drove the other party into a desperate situation, and then came like a savior.

Although this kind of trick is old-fashioned, it is the most effective and the fastest way to make a person give up.The reason why the queen got involved in it might be because of old love, but the biggest possibility is because of the dead prince.

The current empress is the daughter of the Marquis of Zhen Guo. Although the Marquis passed away early, there should still be a lot of old troops, a private army, and some old troops. The power to launch the palace change is barely enough.

"As for Qi Shoubang... he just wants to be a fisherman."

"Fisher... fisherman?"

In this world, there is no saying that a snipe and a clam fight each other, and the fisherman takes advantage of it, so Ah Fei can't understand what Zhou Huaiyan meant.So, I could only reach out and hook the boy's neck, licking and kissing the Adam's apple that rolled up and down with the master's words, and then couldn't help but want to suck the red marks on it, and bite it carefully , leaving tooth marks.But before putting his desire into action, Zhou Huaiyan pressed his chest and pushed the kitten away a little.

"I have to see my uncle in two days."

The boy was pampered from birth, and his body was very delicate. Every time he got a scar, it took a long time to disappear, even if it was just a red mark from being sucked, it would take a long time to recover.

"Yes......"

Ah Fei's low response was drowned in the crisp silver bell.

"In the secret fight between Jian Kong and the emperor, if the former wins and the third prince becomes the puppet emperor, Qi Shoubang will have the handle to be the next emperor. If the latter wins, then he can also shirk responsibility. After all, those private soldiers followed uncle He came back. The emperor just had no excuse to seize the military power, even if he knew that the person behind it was Qi Shoubang, he would attack his uncle. Once Wei Guogong is gone, the military power in the northern border will fall into his hands."

Zhou Huaiyan lowered his eyes, his eyes casually swept over the broken red clothes.

"Whatever the outcome, he benefits."

"..."

Ah Fei no longer has the energy to think about what his master said, so he can barely remember a conclusion——

[In order to seize the imperial power, Jian Kong used the third prince as a puppet to conspire against the private army from the northern border.No matter what the result is, the final beneficiary will be Qi Shoubang. ]

【Amazing......】

[Such a complicated conspiracy, even involving the planning of the late emperor, was completely seen through by the master in just a few months. 】

An indescribable, magma-like hot and frantic emotion stirred up in his chest, Ah Fei couldn't help panting, excited to an extreme level because of being possessed by a strong man.Or in modern terms, he should be regarded as intellectual love.

——Consider people's IQ and brains as the most attractive characteristics, and they will be attracted by the other party's intelligence, resulting in love, admiration, fanaticism, and even unspeakable desires.

In the vision blurred by the shaking and physiological tears, the boy's upper body is still neatly dressed and his face is beautiful, only the corners of his eyes are dyed a bit of beautiful rouge, and the loose belt is telling the intimacy they can't say at this moment.The kitten couldn't help wrapping its arms around the boy's waist, and then intentionally wet the hem of the boy's shirt, which was clean and dry.Zhou Huaiyan didn't notice the other party's careful thinking, but thought that the kitten wanted to change his posture, so he stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around the latter's waist.He rubbed the tenderness under his fingertips, but said something irrelevant to it——

"But this plan has a fatal flaw."

"Um......"

Hearing that the young man was still immersed in the so-called business, Ah Fei suddenly felt an inexplicable grievance after worshiping excitedly.He is like this, so he can't completely attract the master's attention?

"If Jian Kong wants to use the third prince to confront the emperor directly, he must first pass the uncle."

At the peak of his body, Jiang Yi used his soldiers like a god, and his martial arts were unparalleled in the world.

With such illustrious military exploits, even the late emperor had to avoid his edge, personally conferring the title of duke and general.

As long as he is in the capital, not to mention a few thousand private troops, even tens of thousands, he will not be able to disturb the situation.

Speaking of this, Zhou Huaiyan stopped suddenly, the originally loud silver bell suddenly became low, and then the kitten in his arms began to writhe uncomfortably,

"......Owner?"

He raised his head, his face was flushed, his emerald pupils were blurred,

The boy stretched out his hand to pinch Ah Fei's chin, raising it to the point where he could only look up with difficulty.

Zhou Huaiyan stared at him for a long time and asked,

"A Fei, what do you think... how can I pass the test of my uncle?"

"..."

Naturally, looking for his weakness.

Everyone in the world knows that the Jiang family has produced tiger generals for generations, with excellent conduct, unparalleled bravery, and at the same time, they are also the most protective.

However, in Jiang Yi's generation, his two sons died in Jiangnan, and his younger sister died in the palace.The only bloodline left is the useless Ninth Prince who is lustful and congenitally deficient.

Even though the useless prince didn't have any of the Jiang family's excellent family traditions and morals, and he didn't even know martial arts, Duke Wei still held him in his hands and pampered him.

Everyone knows that Zhou Huaiyan is his darling. In terms of the comparison of the status in his heart, perhaps, he can be greater than the Son of Heaven.

Bigger than the emperor, this is what the emperor cannot tolerate.

"......Owner?"

"Yeah, it's me."

But how could Jiankong leave such a fatal flaw for himself?

Therefore, he must have planned a long time ago. Zhou Huaiyan had two guesses on how to use Zhou Huaiyan to restrain the Duke of Wei.

The first is... the unknown poison in that assassination.

If it were Zhou Huaiyan who designed the plan, he would also choose to play tricks in that assassination.Or if the former guessed wrong, then it would be someone close to him.

Close, trusting, able to stay alone with him.

The teenager stretched out his hand, with obvious tooth marks and red marks on his fingertips, and then gently traced the outline of the kitten's face,

Ah Fei has been a little unusual recently, or it wasn't recently, but it started after returning from the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.And the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is at the White Horse Temple, where Jian Kong can be easily seen.

Zhou Huaiyan was already very accurate at seeing people, especially familiar people.

It's just that the only illogical part of this guess is that if A Fei really has a problem, then A Fei would not tell him about the meeting between the Queen and Jian Kong on New Year's Eve.

Zhou Huaiyan likes absolutely rigorous and clear logic, even if there is a paradox, the final result for him will be untenable.

However, it is true that the kitten has been a little abnormal since he came back from the ceremony.

......

"Call-"

The sudden stop of the carriage interrupted Zhou Huaiyan's thoughts.The boy rubbed his swollen temples, feeling depressed.Now, Zhou Huaiyan just wanted to see his uncle soon, and he wanted to ask about some things.

I just never thought about it, but I met an unexpected person on the way.

"what happened?"

His tone didn't sound very good.Hongdou's voice came clearly from outside——

"Your Highness, it's Li Zhaoyun."

The girl in plain clothes who attracted the white tiger that day has changed into a new dress now, but it is still white, making that overly pretty face even more beautiful and charming.

"Minister Li Zhaoyun has met His Highness the Ninth Prince."

Zhou Huaiyan lifted the curtain of the carriage in surprise. He originally thought that the other party was just an eyeliner or secret agent of a certain force lurking beside the second prince, but unexpectedly, he was involved.

"Tsk, what's the matter?"

If it was usual, Zhou Huaiyan would still want to have a few words with the other party, but now he is in an extremely bad mood, so he has no intention of probing, and went straight to the point.

"Minister..."

Li Zhaoyun lowered his head, with two blushes on his cheeks, as if he was a little ashamed to speak.

"This matter... Minnv only wants to tell His Highness alone."

Stunning girl, still wanting to speak.

If it is another person, I am afraid that I will be so fascinated that I can't find the north.But Zhou Huaiyan was keenly aware of the strangeness.He fixedly glanced at Li Zhaoyun a few times, his eyes suddenly sharp,

"Come here, tie her up to His Highness!"

"Yes!"

The palace lady never expected that the master would issue such an order, she was astonished in her mind, but her body complied immediately.

The next second—

Several tall and burly guards immediately surrounded Li Zhaoyun, and they really took hemp rope to tie him up.The latter immediately widened his eyes, as if he didn't expect the other party to make such a decision suddenly.

Her face was gloomy for a moment, but she quickly revealed a flustered and heartbroken expression.

"Your Highness Ninth, Your Highness Ninth Dare to ask the girl what she did wrong, that...to suffer such humiliation?"

Li Zhaoyun's face looked like an innocent and pitiful girl, but her hand was quietly touching the porcelain bottle in her cuff, hesitating in her heart whether to force it...

However, at this moment, the second prince's angry and worried voice came from a distance,

"Zhou Huaiyan, how dare you—"

"..."

Hearing the familiar voice, the boy couldn't help but "tsk".He has known the second child for so many years, but he never thought that the other party might be a love brain.

Seeing the woman running into the second prince's arms, Zhou Huaiyan became more irritable.

"Red Dou, forget about it and go directly to the Duke's Mansion."

Let that woman harm the second child, he will not get involved in this mess.Unexpectedly, the second prince, Zhou Huaiheng, had someone stop his carriage directly.

"Zhou Huaiyan, how dare you rob women in the street?!"

"..."

——What a big shit bowl.

The young man rubbed his swollen temples, stayed up all night, and the whole night was not pleasant, his current mood was extremely bad.

wow-

Zhou Huaiyan slammed open the front carriage door and walked out, condescending, with gloomy eyes,

"Zhou Huaiheng, it's dozens now, if you don't let me, my highness will have to ask Uncle Wei Guogong to pick it up in person."

"you......"

The second prince's face turned green with anger.

Since ancient times, princes have been most taboo about getting too close to their mother clan, and have to avoid suspicion in everything, but Zhou Huaiyan, who doesn't play cards according to common sense, has relied on the power of Wei Guogong to oppress others since he was a child.

Now that Duke Wei returned to Beijing, he couldn't wait even more, with the words "Jiang Yi is my uncle" on his forehead.

The author has something to say:

ps: If a kitten wants to evolve into a big tiger, it naturally has to follow the career line (Personally, I don’t think it’s too cruel, it’s sour anyway)

When Ah Fei became the queen, the story of the little black house will start, and the childbirth will be in the part of the story of the little black house (but I haven't thought about having a boy or a girl yet),

There is a small theater description at the back of the copy, which was added two days ago. Little angels who haven't seen it can take a peek.
