Heaven Scheme Palace

On the way back to the imperial city, Dan Qing Han was filled with doubts that she had not slept well for the past few days. She wanted to ask Pei Sheng a lot of questions, but she didn't know where to start, so she had a feeling that things weren't that simple.

At night, the group found an inn to stay at. Dan Qing Han tossed and turned on her bed as she got up, pushed open the door, and went to look for the drowsy waiter to ask for Dainty Girl.

The waiter held a jar of good girl's red and handed it over to Dan Qing Han before sitting down in the corner and dozing off.

Dan Qing Han poured a bowl of wine for herself, and forthrightly drank it all up, only to hear faint footsteps coming from behind, she turned, and saw Pei Sheng slowly walking over.

"The night is long, and it turns out that I am not the only one who cannot sleep. Lord General, you might as well sit down and drink with me."

Pei Sheng's expression was cold, he sat opposite to her and said: "It doesn't look like a lady from a noble family."

"Go ahead."

"Did the general always know that I was planning to approach you?" She carefully probed.

"Yes." He answered straightforwardly.

"All of them?" she asked again.

"The thief who stole the money, the owner of the Thousand Buddha Temple, the one who stole the money, the one who stole the money, the one who stole the money, the one who stole the money, the one who stole the money, the one who stole the money, the one who stole the money, the one who stole the money, the one who stole the money. When Pei Sheng talked about the Death Soldier in the forest, a bone-piercing coldness burst forth from his eyes.

Dan Qing Han was stunned, all of her and Ling Xuan Su's plans, had actually understood it all, she suddenly felt that all of her scheming was just a joke in Pei Sheng's eyes, she was annoyed, she filled the empty bowl with wine, and drank it all up.

"Miss Dane." Pei Sheng called out indifferently, he raised his wine bowl and said, "Let me toast you."

"To me?"

"To your courage and courage." He raised his head and downed the wine in large gulps. His eyes were filled with an unfathomable radiance. "I originally wanted to kill you, but I suddenly found you very interesting."

"That's why you said you wanted to marry me."

"Yes."

"Why did you do this when you knew that I had spent so much effort to get close to you?"

"An alliance with the King Yu would only bring me benefits, wouldn't it?"

"Sir Generalissimo, you're holding a heavy soldier and you're doing great things for the time being. Isn't it good to be on your own?"

"You're wrong." Pei Sheng put down the wine bowl in his hands, stared at her with his sharp eyes, and laughed coldly: "It is because I am in a high position that I have to protect myself. The situation is currently unclear, who in the Crown Prince can stand up for the Emperor of Zi Wei, I can only protect my own safety. "

"Since Crown Prince has been crippled, naturally, it's because Prince Chu has a higher chance of winning." Dan Qing Han's words were extremely reasonable.

"It was originally like this, but after going through the chaos in the Henan Province, everything has changed."

"It's just as I thought." Dan Qing Han laughed and shook his head.

"Oh? I would be interested to hear your guess. " Pei Sheng listened attentively.

Only then did Dan Qing Han drink all the wine in her hands, raised her sleeve to wipe the wine at the corner of her mouth, and explained: "Lord General coincidentally saved Jiang Zi Hua who was about to be beheaded, and must have hidden in the Henan Province, and waited for the right opportunity to make his move."

"Why should I hide in the Henan Province?" Pei Sheng asked.

"Because you are under the orders of the Emperor." "The subject that Emperor trusts the most is you, General. However, this time, Henan Province sent Lv Wen Hao here as well. This seemingly harmless move is actually the most astute move that Emperor has ever made."

"Tell me, where is the Emperor smart?"

"Emperor must have known about the chaos in Henan Province since a long time ago. Who is Jiang Zi Hua? As for the disciples of the Prince Chu, he was even recommended as the saviors of the Henan Province in the past. Now that something had happened to him, it must definitely be related to the Prince Chu. Emperor clearly knew that this was the case, yet he sent Lv Wen Hao here, just to see how Lv Wen Hao would execute this matter. " When Dan Qing Han said till this point, she suddenly felt that something was amiss, and hurriedly denied her own words, "No, Emperor is doing this in order to suppress Prince Chu."

"Suppression?" The more Pei Sheng heard, the more interesting he found it to be. His eyes sparkled as he stared at Dan Qing Han.

"Right, it's for suppression." Dan Qing Han said with certainty: "While Emperor sent Lv Wen Hao out openly, he also sent you out secretly. If Lv Wen Hao had not decisively decided to investigate Jiang Zi Hua's case thoroughly, I'm afraid that Lv Wen Hao is not the only one imprisoned in the carriage today. "

"Amazing, truly amazing." Pei Sheng's cold face flashed with a smile of praise. He clapped his hands, the applause was exceptionally crisp in the empty inn.

"So this time, Emperor set a trap for Prince Chu, and wants to deal with him."

"How can that be called cheating?" If the Prince Chu sits properly, what is there to be afraid of? "

When Dan Qing Han heard this, she was already completely silent. What he said was right, if the Prince Chu had a clear conscience, no one would be able to trap him. In the past few days, the Crown Prince was sealed, and his power was growing stronger. Everyone believed that the Emperor should be the one to choose the master of the house, and even she thought so. But why did he choose to be suppressed by the Prince Chu at this time?

Pei Sheng saw her doubt, and said as if it was an accident, "As citizens of the Da Jin, we have to first have a home country, and then have ourselves. Just because Emperor dotes on Prince Chu's mother, doesn't mean that he can tolerate him harming the entire Da Jin. "

When Dan Qing Han heard her familiar words, she pondered for a moment. Wasn't that what she said to Ling Xuan Su? Could it be that Pei Sheng's words to her were heard by his people?

"You're a far-sighted girl. It's best not to get involved in this partisan conflict." Pei Sheng slowly stood up and looked down at her.

Dan Qing Han played with the wine cup in her hand, and raised her eyebrows and laughed: "Is General Pei afraid?"

"Afraid?" Just as Pei Sheng finished speaking, there was suddenly a commotion outside the inn, Dan Qing Han immediately stood up and walked out side by side with Pei Sheng.

The fire outside the inn was bright, and one of the soldiers stepped forward with a face full of self-blame: "General Pei, Jiang Zi Hua is dead."

Pei Sheng did not seem surprised at all. His eyes shone brightly and he waved his hand, signaling him to leave.

At this time, Lv Wen Hao had also heard of the news and came over. He glanced at Jiang Zi Hua who had died in the prison cart, and said in a neutral tone: "An assassin is truly bold, to actually dare kill someone under the eyes of General Pei."

Pei Sheng looked at Lv Wen Hao coldly, "Now that Jiang Zi Hua is dead, the hall's interrogation will be replaced by Lord Lu. I would really like to see how Lord Lu can explain himself in front of Emperor."

Lv Wen Hao smiled lightly: "There's no need to worry General Pei."

Dan Qing Han watched as the waves between them surged. She thought that Pei Sheng would become furious because of this, and would clash with Lv Wen Hao even more, but unexpectedly, the two of them ended the conversation with a few bland words, and after Pei Sheng's figure disappeared, she asked softly: "Was it you who did this?"

Lv Wen Hao heard and asked: "Is there any evidence?"

Dan Qing Han shook her head, "Everyone is well aware of this." If Jiang Zi Hua didn't die, he would really be sent to the imperial city to be interrogated, and the consequences would be even greater, he would definitely kill him on the way there. Only Jiang Zi Hua died, so there was no proof of it, "Along the way, I have a question I want to ask you."

"Ask away."

"Do you support me in investigating the cause of the riots in the Henan Province, for the sake of the Prince Chu or for the sake of the people?"

"What's the difference?"

"Yes, it is selfish for the sake of the Prince Chu. It is selfless for the sake of the people."

"What kind of answer do you want?"

"Did you figure out why Emperor sent you here?"

Lv Wen Hao did not reply, and only tacitly agreed.

"I see." Dan Qing Han suddenly thought that Lv Wen Hao was a little stupid, she swore that Lv Wen Hao was different from the other powerful figures of the upper echelons, but now it seemed to be the same.

"You know Pei Sheng?" Lv Wen Hao changed the topic.

"I've met him a few times, but their relationship is as calm as water." Dan Qing Han explained inadvertently, as she was afraid that he would misunderstand.

"I know the reason why you and Ling Xuan Su have come to the Henan Province, and I also know why you have spent so much effort to help me." Lv Wen Hao's voice paused for a moment, then said in an incomparably serious manner: "When we return to the Imperial Capital, I will have a good talk with the King Yu."

Dan Qing Han's goal on this trip was to obtain Lv Wen Hao's words, and now that sheshead achieved her wish, it could be said that she had achieved perfection. The corners of her mouth curled into a faint smile, but when she looked around, he did not see Ling Xuan Su.

He had always been someone who liked to join in on the fun. After such a huge incident, why was there no trace of him?

Just as she was pondering, she saw Zhao Xi with a serious face walking over, she went over and asked: "It's so late, why are you back from the outside?"

Dan Qing Han facepalmed. She still had to hurry tomorrow morning, he actually ran over to drink flower wine. She really was a child who could not grow up.

"In all these years, I have never seen the Crown Prince so sullen in front of anyone. I can see that this time, he was abnormally defeated due to his dispute with you. Don't be mad at him, after all we are allies with the King Yu, and if we were to meet again, you will just take a small step back? " Saying that, Zhao Xi stuck out his pinky finger and made a gesture.

"How could I be mad at him? He's obviously narrow-minded." Dan Qing Han said as he walked out of the hall. Zhao Xi hurriedly followed behind her and led the way, thinking that with her coming out, the fire in Crown Prince would definitely go out of its way.
