Chapter 2135 A brief moment
Wu Yingqiu gave him a cold look.
Then he said, "Do you think he came here sincerely to seek refuge?"
“……!”
Everyone was stunned and looked at him in astonishment.
Isn’t it?
Wan Pengkun said, "Uncle, could it be that what Liu Yueze just said was all false?"
“…”
Wu Yingqiu was silent for a moment. His cloudy, extremely old eyes shone with the cunning light of a fox. He said slowly, "It may not be fake."
“…”
"Maybe it's true."
"Then why did my uncle say that he didn't come here sincerely to seek refuge?"
"Since he's come to us, we naturally have to give him some benefits. If everything he says is a lie, who will believe him? How can he come to us?"
“…”
This made Wan Pengkun even more confused.
"But, wasn't it because he offended Princess Xinping that the Emperor gave him—"
"Do you really think it's that simple?"
"Well?"
"Just at this moment, he offended the princess? Just at this moment, the emperor severely punished a cabinet secretary for such a trivial matter?"
“…”
"No matter how foolish the emperor is, can he ever be this foolish?"
“…”
"And he surrendered to us just for such a small matter?"
"this--"
Wan Pengkun was speechless for a moment.
Wan Liangchou, who was standing by, pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Brother-in-law, you mean to say that he came to surrender for a purpose, and that he didn't come to us sincerely."
Wu Yingqiu sneered, "The Emperor loves to play this trick the most."
“…”
"Especially when dealing with an opponent he's unsure of his position, his greatest skill is to infiltrate the inner circle. When we were eradicating Prince Ning's influence in Changqing City, I realized that he had secretly planted a number of troops in Prince Ning's mansion."
“…”
"Also, when the capital was moved, how did he use Jian Ruocheng to deal with those old guys?"
“…”
"Have you all forgotten?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Indeed, looking back now, when the emperor dealt with every difficult opponent, or in other words, when arranging something, he would always prepare in advance and plant his own spies in the opponent's camp first to know both himself and the enemy.
Even at the critical moment, the eyeliner will play a key role.
Wu Yingqiu sneered and said, "He has always been like this in his military operations. I didn't expect that after all these years, he still maintains this habit."
Everyone broke out in cold sweat.
If before they were discussing the big thing of beheading, this time they had no choice but to do it.
Judging from the fact that Liu Yueze came over and pretended to surrender, the emperor was really going to take action against them.
Moreover, it is not just as simple as reducing the number of guards in the palaces of princes and nobles. Since he has already used such a method, I am afraid that it is -
Wan Liangchou asked, "Uncle, so, is there really a problem at the Great Altar?"
Wu Yingqiu glanced at him.
Although he never showed any shock, the coldness in his eyes revealed what he was thinking at the moment.
He said, "This time, you should know."
“…”
"If you don't advance, you'll retreat."
“…”
"You have no way out now."
Everyone looked at each other, then immediately knelt before him, saying in unison, "We are willing to serve the Duke, even until our death."
Only then did Wu Yingqiu nodded slightly.
Wan Pengkun immediately said, "Uncle, since Liu Yueze is a pawn of the emperor, why don't we find someone among us to get rid of him? This way, we can also prevent the emperor from finding out our true strength."
Wu Yingqiu shook his head: "No."
"Why?"
"If we get rid of him, there are others. Now we have seen through him. If the emperor secretly sends someone here again, and we can't see through him, wouldn't that be dangerous?"
"But keeping him is also dangerous."
"That's not necessarily true."
"What's the meaning?"
Wu Yingqiu smiled grimly and said, "He was sent by the Emperor to spy on us. So why don't we prepare some evidence for him to spy on? Isn't that a good idea?"
“…”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned and immediately understood.
Wan Pengkun said, "Uncle, what a good plan! This time, the emperor will have no choice but to dismount!"
Only then did Wu Yingqiu slowly stand up and say to them, "Now, everyone, listen to my orders and dispatch troops immediately..."

Time passes by little by little.
Xue Yun stood by the table, watching Zhu Feng sitting in the chair with his eyes closed, motionless and silent.
Such a long time...
She even suspected that he had fallen asleep.
Did you really fall asleep?
Regardless of whether it was true or not, she didn't dare to speak or make any movements at this time. For such an energetic person to show such fatigue, it was obvious that he must be very tired and needed such a short rest.
She even saw a few faint lines of wrinkles appearing between his eyebrows.
That is a manifestation of long-term frowning and inner depression.
At this time, Xue Yun's hand hidden in his sleeve moved slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to lift it up to smooth out the wrinkles for him.
But she didn't dare.
Not only did she not dare to touch him, she also did not dare to move easily, for fear that if she moved, this short and peaceful time they had together alone would be broken.
Such time is so precious to her.
Thinking of this, she even held her breath.
And at this moment, Zhu Feng opened his eyes.
Xue Yun's heartbeat quickened.
However, Zhu Feng's eyes had regained their usual shrewdness and restraint, and the weariness that had slowly faded away had now completely disappeared.
He looked up at Xue Yun, and Xue Yun's hands clenched involuntarily.
Zhu Feng asked, "How long has it been?"
Xue Yun spoke, his voice a little hoarse, and he didn't even utter the first word.
Zhu Feng glanced at her.
She coughed lightly and said, "Just a moment later."
"oh……?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, as if nothing had happened, as if the minute he rested just now was just a fantasy of Xue Yun.
He had already reached out and rolled up his sleeves.
"Okay, come on."
Xue Yun walked forward.
Looking at Zhu Feng's expression again, he hesitated for a moment and said softly, "If Your Majesty is very tired, you don't have to worry about it today..."
"No."
Zhu Feng interrupted her calmly.
"Today's work must be done today, whether it is your job or mine."
“…”
"I want to clear the poison from my body as soon as possible. Remember this, and don't worry about anything else."
