While the witch was heading to Daliang, Li Le was still thinking about how to keep the King of Chu out. It had been more than ten days since the last time the King of Chu came to see him. Since he was arrested that time, the King of Chu came to him from time to time to chat and talk about everything.
His cold attitude did not dampen the enthusiasm of the King of Chu.
His intuition told him that the King of Chu wanted to talk to him about something, but he didn't want to bring it up directly.
The King of Chu didn't say anything, and Li Lezhi didn't mention it either. It just depended on who of them would give up. Sure enough, as Li Lezhi expected, after the King of Chu had been here for five or six days, seeing that he had no reaction, he couldn't sit still anymore and stopped to drink some tea to moisten his throat.
Then he continued, "Master Li, can you help me tell another fortune?"
“…”
Li Le didn't say anything. He didn't know whether Master Sanqing was watching him or not. He wanted to see what the King of Chu was going to do first and then respond flexibly.
He didn't say anything, and the King of Chu didn't wait any longer. After spending these days together, Zhao Xiao understood Taoist Li's character, so he didn't interrupt him, which meant he let him continue.
“I wonder who those people belong to?”
Li Le just looked at him.
Zhao Xiao shrank back and rejected it: "It's definitely not my man."
He personally sent this group of traitors in, so how could they be his people? According to his guess, it was either the third brother or the fifth brother, but between the two, the King of Chu was not sure which one it was. The fifth brother was a coward and would not do such a thing, but the third brother was someone who could compete with the prince openly, so how could he be interested in his people?
Neither of them is suspected, but both are suspected.
He won't be able to sleep well until this matter is solved.
Li Le only knew what the other party wanted to do. He looked at the other party quietly for a few times and said slowly: "Wait a moment."
Li Le just stood up and went back into the house to get the tortoise shell. At the moment he stood up, he counted with his fingers hidden in his sleeves to figure out who was behind those people. This calculation led him to an unexpected person.
The sixth prince——Zhao Chen.
The Sixth Prince, if he remembered correctly, was only twelve, almost thirteen years old. He was so cunning at such a young age, and he was able to place his own people around the King of Chu.
Could it be that he calculated wrongly?
Li Le just began to doubt himself.
After he took out the tortoise shell from the house, he slowly walked back to his original seat, still wondering whether his calculations were correct and whether he should talk about this with the King of Chu.
Li Le only let the King of Chu shake the tortoise shell six times. After the result came out, he still couldn't figure out what it was, and the King of Chu was waiting for an answer.
Seeing this, Li Le only asked: "Your Highness, do you have a good relationship with your brother?"
"Hmm?" Zhao Xiao wondered why Taoist Priest Li asked this question. He and his brothers were only close to Xiao Liu, and the others were just tolerable on the surface. But there was no need to let Taoist Priest Li know about this. He was about to say "it's okay" when he suddenly remembered, what else could he hide from Taoist Priest Li?
So, Taoist Li has already figured out the result and is giving him some advice?
Could it be that Taoist Li meant Xiaoliu?
impossible.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Zhao Xiao rejected it immediately. He had a close relationship with Xiaoliu, who called him brother, and their mothers and concubines were also quite familiar with each other. How could Xiaoliu be someone who turned against him?
Taoist Priest Li must have made a mistake in his calculations.
It must be.
Although Zhao Xiao comforted himself in this way, everyone knew that Taoist Li had never made a mistake in fortune-telling. There was only one person behind this matter, and that was Xiaoliu Zhao Chen.
He should be happy after figuring out the result, but after knowing who that person is, Zhao Xiao couldn't smile. His face was gloomy.
When he treats the other person with all his heart, the other person stabs him in the back, which is more infuriating than the third or fifth person stabbing him in the back. Apart from that, there is more disappointment.
Is there really no brotherhood between them?
Zhao Xiao couldn't sit there any longer, so he got up in a hurry and left, wanting to find Zhao Chen to ask for clarification. However, he changed his mind just as he stepped onto the carriage and before he got in. Going to ask Zhao Chen now would only embarrass himself.
"Go back home. (w)?"
After returning home, Zhao Xiao immediately sent people to investigate secretly. Since he had not suspected Zhao Chen before, he naturally did not find out who it was. But this time he knew who it was, so it was not difficult for him to investigate.
Not long after, the investigators reported back that they had found out that the person was indeed Queen Jing. Zhao Xiao closed his eyes and waved his hand for the other party to leave.
The moment Taoist Li figured it out, he knew that this investigation would only make him give up completely. He didn't expect...
Thinking of how Zhao Chen had always acted like a good brother in front of him, Zhao Xiao became angrier and angrier. In the end, he couldn't help it and went to find Zhao Chen to ask for clarification.
At this time, Zhao Chen had not yet set up his own residence and was still living in the palace. When Zhao Xiao found him, he was reading a book in the house.
When Zhao Chen saw that it was Zhao Xiao who came, he immediately stood up and greeted him, "Fourth brother, why are you here? (w)?"
Zhao Xiao's face was gloomy. He looked at Zhao Chen's face, suppressed his questioning, and said with anger: "Do you know that there is another master behind those arrested people? ≦_[(w.)]≦18 Come≦.?≦.?Read the latest chapter.?Full chapter≦(w)?"
"Fourth brother, do you mean that those people betrayed you and defected to others? (w)?"
Zhao Chen asked in surprise.
"Yeah," Zhao Xiao gritted his teeth, "I don't know which little bastard it is. Xiaoliu, can you guess who it is?"
Zhao Chen looked embarrassed, then shook his head and said, "I can't think of it either. Third and Fifth Brothers are possible, but I'm afraid this incident was not done by these two people."
"So?" Zhao Xiao asked, "Xiao Liu, do you mean you?"
“…”
Zhao Chen was startled at first, then frowned and said sadly: "Brother, are you doubting me?"
"Among our brothers, except for the third and fifth brothers, you are the only one left. Do you want to say that he was the one who did this?" Zhao Xiao said dissatisfiedly.
He had never doubted the crown prince. The crown prince's position was stable, and the one he wanted to suppress was the third brother. What did it have to do with him? It was not worth the crown prince's effort.
Excluding the crown prince, the third and fifth brothers, Zhao Chen also thought that it was not them. Zhao Chen's intention was to make him suspect that it was the crown prince's doing. What was his purpose in provoking him to confront the crown prince?
With his own strength, going up against the powerful prince would be tantamount to seeking death.
It was the best opportunity, but the third brother and the prince were both defeated, and it would be legitimate for him to take the throne again. Zhao Chen wanted him and the third brother to deal with the prince together. If he was deposed, the third brother and the prince would also be deposed, which would give him and the fifth brother a chance. The fifth brother was a coward and would not dare to fight.
This was the first time that Zhao Xiao realized that, unknown to him, Zhao Chen had grown to this extent, but they had never taken him seriously because of his young age.
If Taoist Li hadn’t figured it out, I don’t know how much loss I would have suffered in the future.
At that time, what was the point of defeating the prince? It would only be making wedding dresses for others.
Zhao Chen had not expected that Zhao Xiao was so cautious and unwilling to doubt the prince, but instead suspected him. It turned out that in this person's heart, his importance was just like that, and he was not as frightening as the prince.
It's a bit like shooting oneself in the foot.
In order to dispel Zhao Xiao's suspicion, Zhao Chen could only defend himself with pale words. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the other party's expression relaxed by what he said.
Zhao Xiao was pretending to be someone else so that the other party would relax their guard.
After he confronted the prince, Zhao Xiao became alert and did not dare to show any abnormality. He still looked like a friendly and respectful brother.
After leaving Zhao Chen, Zhao Xiao waited for another two days before going to see Li Lezhi as usual. In fact, Zhao Xiao also wanted to talk about this incident with Li Lezhi to see if there was anything he could do to make use of it.
Zhao Xiao only talked about this matter with Li Le.
Li Le was stunned for a moment after listening to it, and then he reacted and looked at the King of Chu with mixed feelings. If he had heard correctly, the King of Chu was complaining in front of him that King Jing deliberately deceived him and made him confront the prince, so that the fisherman would benefit from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam.
It's true that you can't judge a book by its cover. Compared with King Jing, King Chu has a bit of a silly temperament.
What Li Le was only concerned about was that Prince Jing was young and powerless, and now he was trying to murder the crown prince through the hand of Prince Chu. But if the crown prince really died, and Prince Duan was blocking the way, if the other party wanted to succeed, it would cost lives.
Therefore, if King Jing takes action now, it will be a thankless task.
In order to know what was going on here, Li Lezhi didn't care whether his calculations were accurate or not. He just calculated first and then ate a piece of melon. His calculations led him to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery that was beheaded last year. In other words, this Prince Jing was related to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. He was born to the virtuous concubine, now Xu Cainü. What Li Lezhi didn't expect was that this Prince Jing was actually reborn, and it wasn't long since he was reborn and hadn't grown up yet. Otherwise, based on what this Prince Jing knew, it was really hard to say who would win.
Because the other party was a reborn person, Li Lezhi began to doubt whether the divination he had calculated before was still accurate and whether Zhao Cong could still be alive. In order to ascend to the throne, King Jing would definitely take the initiative and kill Zhao Cong first.
Before that, the prince would be in danger.
An obvious target.
After figuring this out, Li Lezhi couldn't remain calm. He looked at the King of Chu and finally reminded him carefully: "He is not ordinary. Don't have conflicts with him in the future. (wx)?"
"Hmm????Come to the novel?♂?Read the latest chapter?Full chapter?(wx)?"
Zhao Xiao was puzzled as to why Taoist Li's attitude suddenly changed after just a short while. He even told him not to bother with Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen had not yet set up his own office and did not have his own team, so what was he afraid of?
If it wasn't Li Lezhi who said this, Zhao Xiao really wanted to turn a deaf ear to it. The grudge between him and Zhao Chen would not be easily resolved.
Li Le didn't care what Zhao Xiao thought. What he needed to think about now was how to make the prince pay attention to Zhao Chen and make him the number one focus of observation.
Got it.
Li Le only thought for a moment that with his current reputation, people would still listen to him when he said some things.
Therefore, Li Lezhi immediately wrote a letter and went to the Prince's Mansion in person. After handing the letter to the steward of the Prince's Mansion, Li Lezhi left with peace of mind.
After the steward got the letter, he looked at Li Lezhi's back and slapped his head, then he came to his senses.
But deep down he was still thinking that his ancestors' graves were smoking, and he had the honor of speaking to Master Sanqing, who had even sent him a letter.
At this time, the steward came to his senses and thought of the letter in his hand. He did not dare to delay any longer and delivered the letter intact to Zhao Xuan.
When Zhao Xuan heard that it was Taoist Li who sent the letter, he immediately stopped what he was doing, put down his pen, and took the letter from the eunuch. He first took a look at the wax seal, which was intact and showed no signs of having been opened.
Then he opened the letter, took out the paper inside, and opened it in a few seconds, and saw what was written on the paper.
