I rely on the collapse of people to set my life in the hands of the male protagonist

Chapter 97

"Not to blame? Are you comforting Xu Wenze, or have you discovered something?" Huo Luo watched Xu Wenze leave, and reflexively looked at Yuechen.

Yue Chen turned his head to look at Huo Luo, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "What? Are you willing to talk to me?"

Huo Luo's expression immediately became stiff, and he growled almost from embarrassment, "Who isn't talking anymore?!"

Yuechen put on a mocking expression of "Isn't that you", and was so angry that he glared fiercely at someone.

But staring and staring, his eyes drifted away, and he still didn't dare to look at each other.

Yuechen's eyes flickered for a moment, he knew that according to Huo Luo's temperament, he would probably be awkward for a while.

Seeing the strange interaction between the two, Lin Qingyang was full of doubts, but he was also interested in Yuechen's "not to be blamed". He looked at Chu Lishu lying on the bed, and saw his eyes drooping, as if Not interested in Yue Chen's statement at all.

But Yuechen seemed to want to say, "Because Prime Minister Li and Concubine Mei arranged for this assassination."

As soon as these words came out, both Huo Luo and Lin Qingyang were shocked.

Lin Qingyang always thought that even if those killers were not arranged by Chu Lishu, they should be arranged by someone who really wanted to kill the fourth prince. How could it be the mother, concubine and grandfather of the fourth prince?

Huo Luo immediately said: "How is it possible, why did they do this? The Fourth Prince is still so young, what if something happens to him? Tiger poison doesn't even eat its children."

"Isn't the fourth prince not injured at all?" Yuechen sat down and poured tea for himself and Huo Luo, but when he picked up the teapot, his wrist trembled unsteadily, and suddenly a bronze hand slipped from his white He took the teapot in his hand and poured two cups.

Yuechen raised his head and glanced at Huo Luo. Huo Luo's face remained unchanged, but the roots of his ears were already red.

Yuechen pursed his lips and said slowly, "Just now you forgot the scene that the guards recalled. At first they didn't know that there was an ambush nearby. Dozens of crossbow arrows suddenly appeared, and they aimed at them without any defense. The target was accurate, but in the end only the fourth prince missed an arrow. Even if someone who doesn't know martial arts sneaks in to ambush, can't he shoot a child? What about a professional killer?"

Huo Luo knew a lot about martial arts, and immediately reacted to Yuechen's words. "That's right, it's unreasonable. They're just putting on a show? They deliberately brought some killers here to pretend to assassinate the fourth prince, causing countless casualties at the scene, as if it was a tragedy, but it didn't hurt the fourth prince at all. But... why?"

Yue Chen took a sip of tea slowly and said: "Of course it was for the emperor to see. Although Concubine Mei is favored, the fourth prince is not as good as the third prince. In addition, some time ago, the three families targeted each other and suffered heavy losses. They are worried that they don’t know when the three companies will turn their attention to them, so they have been cautious for a while, but at the same time they realize that this is a good opportunity.”

When Lin Qingyang heard this, he quickly reacted, "If they act ahead of time, causing tension, portraying themselves as victims, and attracting the emperor's attention, then none of the three parties will dare to do anything again, because they want to get rid of the four. The prince's people are most likely to be those three forces, and if something happens to the fourth prince, they will be the biggest suspects. Making such a movement will instead set up the biggest protective shield for the future of the fourth prince."

Yue Chen smiled and said: "That's right, and it will cause mutual suspicion among the other three parties. They will think that the other party made the move, and they will not suspect Mei Concubine. After all, Mei Concubine is famous for loving the Fourth Prince. They You should think that Concubine Mei is reluctant to use the Fourth Prince as bait."

"But haven't you done it yet? Sure enough, there is not a single good person in the palace." Huo Luo snorted coldly.

"They did this to protect the fourth prince in a disguised form. It is estimated that Concubine Mei has already cried in front of the emperor at this moment, and the emperor will definitely be angry. In his eyes, the fourth prince was targeted before he participated in the power struggle. Father will still be taboo. This time, the emperor will secretly warn those three parties, and show a little more love and affection to Concubine Mei and the fourth prince, so he can count on one fell swoop."

After Yuechen's analysis, Lin Qingyang really wanted to take a few deep breaths. Sure enough, nothing can be seen on the surface.So Chu Lishu was fully aware of such a situation, so he followed Mei Mei's plan and carried it out?

How did he guess it?

Another fear rose in Lin Qingyang's heart, that kind of looking down from above the crowd made one's heart chill, as if Chu Lishu really knew everything.

But Yuechen quickly gave a hint of conjecture.

"Actually, when I found out that the Fourth Prince would come over today, I always felt very strange. The Fourth Prince is so young, how could Concubine Mei and Prime Minister Li let him come to Duke Wei's mansion so easily? It couldn't be just to meet you two, right? " Yuechen laughed and teased Lin Qingyang and Chu Lishu.

Lin Qingyang shook his head with a dry smile.

Yue Chen said: "And we still chose such a mixed day. Outsiders may think that they trust Wei Guogong so they don't care, but Li Chengxiang's narrow-mindedness, how can it be... Now it is considered to be connected, only everything is theirs It’s reasonable to arrange it deliberately.”

Lin Qingyang's heart moved, so when Xu Wenze asked at Taixue before that they couldn't make it through, Chu Lishu had already guessed that there was something different about the arrival of the fourth prince. After all, the previous battle between the three parties was planned by him alone. What reaction the prince will have here, I guess he has already guessed in his heart.

Presumably, he must have asked Lu Yi and Lu Shi to investigate Li Chengxiang's recent actions, and after confirming that there was such a good assassination scene, he let Lu Yi and Lu Shi get mixed up in it, and took the opportunity to help him play a scene of the savior Gain goodwill and trust.This is much more likely than making Lu Yi and Lu Shi's actions successful.

But something still feels wrong.

Huo Luo thought for a long time after hearing this, but still couldn't help but doubt: "This is just your guess, how can you be sure that it's not one of the three parties?"

"Those three parties have just offended the emperor. They are vigilant against each other and bide their time. None of them want to be the top bird, so they will naturally keep their own place for a while. There is no time to do such a thing that is not worth the loss. And even if it is done, any place on the road Both are better than the Duke of Wei's Mansion, and Concubine Mei and the others chose the Duke of Wei's Mansion because it is a place they are familiar with, and if something happens, it is easy to control it?"

"So Duke Wei also knows about this? Why didn't he tell Xu Wenze! This is his only son, and he was injured right now." Huo Luo frowned displeased.

"Because Wei Guogong doesn't know. Even the alliance can't tell about such a secret matter. Didn't I say it? Prime Minister Li is narrow-minded and won't trust a person completely. And this also includes, Prime Minister Li thought. You need to be more careful about the ambitions of Duke Wei's mansion." Yue Chen sneered, "If you can use this to make the other party fearful, and in turn worry that you won't be trusted because of this matter, if Prime Minister Li is more tolerant and trustworthy at this time, the Duke of Wei's mansion will probably be more generous. I am so grateful that I have dedicated my allegiance to them.”

"Despicable!" Huo Luo couldn't help cursing as Xu Wenze was his own after all.

"Then...why didn't you tell Xu Wenze just now?" Lin Qingyang saw that Yuechen was clear about the situation in Wei Guogong's mansion, so he couldn't help being curious, aren't they friends?

"So what? Sow dissension, disband the alliance? I have no evidence, and it's not good for them to have such suspicion. After all, this is the path chosen by Wei Guogong himself, and we can't interfere." Yuechen said calmly: "Unless Xu Wenze jumps out of this matter himself, he probably won't want to hear me tell these nasty truths."

jump out?It is absolutely impossible for Xu Wenze, as the young master of Duke Wei's mansion, to be alone.

Huo Luo couldn't help but said: "So, this matter has completely developed according to their plan. Since you can guess it, I don't believe others can't. The emperor is not stupid, so he will always be kept in the dark ? Without the slightest doubt?"

"Why do you doubt my ingenuity? We can see clearly when we are close, and the emperor hears all the retellings. How can we see through when we are in the middle of the game?" Yue Chen glanced at Huo Luo dissatisfied. But he looked unwilling to admit defeat, and wanted to go back, but couldn't find a good reason.

Yuechen smiled and said: "But? It's not that there are no flaws at all. If I say that their work is not perfect, it's still two points away."

Both Huo Luo and Lin Qingyang watched Yuechen show off his IQ curiously.

"First, they are still not cruel enough. If they can hurt the Fourth Prince one or two, then no one will be suspicious."

"It can be understood that the guards were devoted to their duties and did not hurt the master. There is another one lying on the bed. If he is not here, the fourth prince will definitely be injured." Huo Luo said.

"It's hard to say. Who knows what other people will think. It's a matter of opinion. It's not as good as the fourth prince being injured personally, but..." Yuechen suddenly laughed: "Chu Lishu, I'm very curious. Did the killer want to hurt the fourth prince, but you saved him, or did the killer not want to hurt the fourth prince, and you bumped into it yourself?"

"Hello!" Huo Luo immediately pulled Yuechen, thinking that Yuechen's judgment of others was a bit too much.

Lin Qingyang was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to speak. Although Yuechen was very smart, he never imagined that the assassin was infiltrated by Chu Lishu's own subordinates.

Chu Lishu didn't even turn his head, and said in a tired voice: "It's nothing, I just saw that sword and thought it was a good opportunity. No, my cousin and I can enter the palace as companions."

Chu Lishu said so frankly, leaving Yue Chen speechless. "Play by ear, brave and resourceful, really amazing." Yuechen praised a few words, and suddenly a strange feeling flashed in his mind, but he didn't catch it, and was completely deceived by Chu Lishu.

Yuechen continued: "Secondly, the killer is said to be from Xueyuan Pavilion. This is very inappropriate. It is better to be a dead man who cannot find any identity, and not to be seen as a killer from Xueyuan Pavilion. False is not appropriate, this is something I can't figure out, and I feel very tasteless."

Huo Luo frowned and said: "I remember that after the assassination, Xueyuan Pavilion was severely suppressed once. That time... Didn't you say that the back of Xueyuan Pavilion may be the dignitaries in Beijing?"

Yue Chen nodded and said: "Yes, that's why it's strange, if the Xueyuan Pavilion is real, then it proves that the power behind the Xueyuan Pavilion is the side of the Fourth Prince, otherwise this kind of self-directed and self-acted assassination of the prince will not start because All kinds of interests have been leaked. Or if the people behind the scenes simply follow the plan and succeed in the assassination, then Concubine Mei and the others will lose badly, so they can't take the risk of finding killers outside their control."

Yuechen said: "If it's fake, then what is Mei Mei's intention in setting the blame like this, to disturb the audience? Then it's better not to make such an arrangement, anyway, the origin of the killer can't be investigated, and death without proof can make the incident even more confusing. Anyway I don't understand that."

Lin Qingyang was stunned. This should be arranged by Chu Lishu. He actually couldn't understand it. What could be the purpose?

Yuechen suddenly said, "Chu Lishu, what do you think?"

Lin Qingyang's heart skipped a beat.

"Ask me?" Chu Lishu turned his head with a sleepy face.

Yue Chen smiled and said, "We are the two smart people here, of course I asked you. Let's analyze it, why?"

Lin Qingyang and Huo Luo felt as if they were being despised: ...

Chu Lishu thought for a while and said: "Maybe it is really the influence of the fourth prince. Anyway, not many people can guess that they directed and acted themselves. With such influence, they can feel at ease. It may also be...they I want to know who is behind the Xueyuan Pavilion."

Yuechen's face changed suddenly, and then he frowned, as if trying to think about something.

"What do you mean?" Huo Luo couldn't figure it out, and frowned.

Lin Qingyang didn't understand either, but he knew the answer. Chu Lishu would not say the second possibility for no reason, it was more like implying to Yuechen that the purpose of the Fourth Prince's faction was to investigate the people behind Xueyuan Pavilion .

Yuechen seemed to have figured it out, "Indeed, if the killer of Xueyuan Pavilion is a fake, then Prime Minister Li and the others' purpose is to investigate which side the dignitaries behind Xueyuan Pavilion belong to, and they pretend to be Xueyuan Pavilion to carry out the assassination The prince’s crimes, the forces behind Xueyuan Pavilion will definitely get along with suspicion, in the future they only need to observe the changes in the size of the capital, and look for traces from the middle.”

Huo Luo immediately felt that it was very reasonable, nodded and said, "It's very possible."

Lin Qingyang inexplicably sympathized with Yue Chen who was desperately searching for the truth. In fact, he had nothing to do with the Fourth Prince's faction. It was Chu Lishu himself who was investigating the people behind Xueyuan Pavilion.

The truth is that Concubine Mei and the others have indeed arranged for an unidentified killer, Lu Yi and Lu Shi mixed in, and took advantage of the opportunity of escape to deliberately leave the information of Xueyuan Pavilion to everyone, making everyone mistakenly think that it was someone from Xueyuan Pavilion who was assassinated. Fourth prince, in this way, Chu Lishu can hide in the dark and observe where the power of the Xueyuan Pavilion comes from.

If it is really the power of the fourth prince, then it is tantamount to sowing dissension, making them start to suspect that there is something wrong with the Xueyuan Pavilion in their hands. The evidence in Chu Li's book proves that Xueyuan Pavilion belongs to the faction of the four princes.

But if the four princes start to investigate and guard against the Xueyuan Pavilion, it will prove that the Xueyuan Pavilion has nothing to do with them. This will follow the ride of Prime Minister Li and borrow their influence to see the changes in Beijing and find out the truth. Chu Lishu saved a lot of effort.

After thinking about it, Lin Qingyang really took a deep breath again, what a chain!That is to say, he completed the task of becoming a companion, gained the trust of the four princes, and used this opportunity to investigate the faction of the Xueyuan Pavilion that he wanted to take down. This... the CPU in the male lead's brain really won't burn drop?

While Lin Qingyang was sighing endlessly, Yuechen gave him a boost.

Yuechen quickly frowned again, "But, if it's really the second possibility...why did you suddenly target Xueyuan Pavilion? I feel that the timing is not suitable for the fourth prince's faction. After all, Xueyuan Pavilion It is nothing more than a Jianghu organization, and it is only our guess that it is backed by the powerful."

Lin Qingyang was inexplicably excited, as if jealous, and wanted others to be able to defeat the design of Chu Lishu, the great demon king, which proved that Chu Lishu was not as terrifying as being so wise and close to a demon.

"Maybe I'm worried that the Xueyuan Pavilion is in the hands of the enemy, so I want to get rid of it first. We won't know what they investigate behind the scenes." Huo Luo guessed: "Anyway, they are using killers, why not just kill two birds with one stone?" ?”

Lin Qingyang: ... God opened a window for Yue Chen, but Huo Luo stood outside and closed it.

Sure enough, Yue Chen suddenly looked shocked and said: "When did that old man become so shrewd? Thinking so much? I didn't even think of it."

"You're smart too." Lin Qingyang said regretfully, although he had never won a big boss.

Yue Chen was about to complain, when suddenly he felt something was wrong, he didn't think of it, but someone thought of it, and reminded him.

Yue Chen looked at Chu Lishu on the bed, and saw that the other party had calmly withdrawn his gaze.

Yuechen's expression became more and more complicated.He remembered the scene where Chu Lishu was left alone to talk during the day. At that time, he was almost about to bluntly expose the problem of Chu Lishu's identity.But the other side is still on the defensive, not giving the slightest chance.

But he is still firm, there can only be one person who can surpass him in resourcefulness, make him unable to see through it, and give him the feeling of being completely crushed but convinced.

Others judge by their appearance, while Yue Chen judges by their thinking patterns.

At this moment, he really confirmed his conjecture again.

If it is really that person, then everything I analyzed just now will probably have to be overthrown and restarted. Because of the mentality of a fan, Yuechen doesn't believe it at all. Chu Lishu came here just to get hurt and sell his favor so that he can enter the palace , it's not worth it.But he really couldn't figure out the key point, and he was really annoyed.

It was already late, and Yuechen and Huo Luo didn't want to disturb Chu Lishu's recovery, so they left directly.

The two went to the main hall to bid farewell, but happened to bump into the scene of Wei Guogong preparing to send Prime Minister Li away, and Xu Wenze was naturally following behind them.

But the atmosphere of the scene was different from what Yue Chen had guessed at the beginning.
