Outside the door.
Prince Li Qiong was pricking up his ears, listening to the conversation in the room.
This is the method proposed by Mr. Zhu.
Let him lead the conversation and lure Hua Manman to reveal the truth.
As long as she can admit that she is Hua Manman, Li Qiong can believe everything Mr. Zhu said.
inside the house.
Mr. Zhu continued to coax while observing the change in her expression.
"Why do you think we can know that you are Hua Manman
Naturally, it is because someone told us your real identity.
You are the younger sister of Concubine Zhen, she values you very much, but she is also a mother.
In a mother's heart, nothing is more important than her own child.
Concubine Zhen did all this to help His Royal Highness secure the throne. I hope you can understand her. "
Hua Manman pursed her lower lip with a stubborn expression.
"I do not know what you're talking about."
Mr. Zhu sighed, very helpless.
"It's pointless for you to continue to pretend to be stupid, why don't you sit down and have a good talk with us.
As long as you promise us a small favor, we'll let you go.
How about a win-win cooperation? "
Hua Manman turned away, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
It is clear that they are unwilling to cooperate.
Mr. Zhu still didn't give up: "I have the latest news about your regent, don't you want to know?"
Hua Manman's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Of course she wanted to know Li Ji's situation at this time.
But reason told her that the guy in front of her was a devil.
Don't believe every word the devil says!
Seeing that she remained unmoved, Mr. Zhu had no choice but to change his attitude and his tone became tough.
"Don't forget, the people in the Prince Regent's Mansion are still locked in the prison of Dali Temple. If you refuse to cooperate with us, the prince will order to kill the people in the Prince Regent's Mansion one by one, and send their heads to the prison. In front of you, let you see it yourself."
Hua Manman suddenly opened his eyes.
She stared at Mr. Zhu, this guy actually threatened her with people from the Regent's Palace!
Facing her anger, Mr. Zhu smiled slightly.
"I remember that you still have a Zhuangzi. There are many people on the Zhuangzi. If there are not enough people in the Prince Regent's Mansion to kill, you can also kill those people on the Zhuangzi one by one until you agree to cooperate. What do you think? how?"
Hua Manman's eyes turned red with anger, wishing he could kill this shameless villain right now!
The angrier she was, the calmer Mr. Zhu became.
he asked calmly.
"Why don't we start with the housekeeper of the Prince Regent's Mansion. I remember his name is Gao Shan."
Hua Manman couldn't bear it anymore, put his hands on the bed, got up with difficulty, and said in a hoarse voice.
"Gao Shan is an old man who came out of the palace. He once served the late emperor. He is not an unknown person. You must not mess around!"
Mr. Zhu asked back: "How do you know Gao Shan's background? Do you know him?"
Hua Manman immediately shut up and stopped talking.
Mr. Zhu smiled, his tone very loose.
"Even if he served the late emperor, so what? It's just a slave, not worth mentioning at all.
Now that the regent is conspiring to rebel, Gao Shan, as the regent's confidant, is naturally an accomplice.
The prince wants to kill a slave who committed a crime, is there a problem? "
Hua Manman gritted her teeth: "What do you mean by conspiracy and rebellion? It's just that you want to commit a crime, so there is no excuse!"
Due to too much emotional ups and downs, coupled with too weak body.
As soon as this sentence was finished, she couldn't help panting violently, her face became paler, and the corners of her eyes turned red abnormally.
Mr. Zhu put away his smile and said word by word.
"This is not some kind of crime, the regent has raised troops in the south of Lingnan and is heading towards Tianjing to kill him. This is a blatant plot to usurp the throne!
Just based on this crime, you can destroy the whole family of your regent's palace! "
Hua Manman was slightly taken aback, and then showed a clear look.
"I see."
From the corner of her eye, she glanced in the direction of the door, and the corners of her pale lips raised slightly, revealing a sneer full of sarcasm.
"It turned out that the little prince panicked because of the regent's rebellion, and was forced to come down to me to discuss cooperation. He really deserves to be a person who grew up in the palace since he was a child. He has never learned the spirit of serving the country and the people." It turns out that the ability to intrigue is well learned."
Outside the door, Li Qiong pursed her lower lip.
Although his mental age is much higher than that of his peers, he is still just a half-grown child who has never experienced anything in the world.
At this time, I heard other people's cynicism towards me.
He couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and his face also became ugly.
In contrast, Mr. Zhu is much more sophisticated.
He didn't take Hua Manman's ridicule to heart at all, and remained calm and composed.
"His Royal Highness is the son of Concubine Zhen, that is, your own nephew. He was sick when he was a child, and you saved his life. You don't have no feelings for him. As long as you can help him solve his current predicament, in the future he will I will definitely repay you well, and I will never let you pay in vain."
Hua Manman laughed at herself: "I was blind to save such a white-eyed wolf."
Mr. Zhu: "You can't say that. His Royal Highness is talented and intelligent. He will become a great weapon in the future. He will not let you down."
Hua Manman seemed to have heard some big joke, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"What is a master
Is it because he knows that the regent has been framed, but still refuses to help clarify, and just wants to sit on the sidelines and enjoy the benefits
Or use my weak woman's life to threaten the regent to retreat and surrender
In him, I did not see the tolerance, reason, and justice that a wise gentleman should possess.
All I see is selfishness, shamelessness, and meanness!
A person like him, even if he becomes an emperor, will only be like his father, who will do anything for the power in his hands and disregard human relations! "
Every word she said was like a slap in the face, slapping Li Qiong's face one after another.
He couldn't bear it anymore, raised his hand and pushed open the door forcefully, and strode in.
"You are so brave, you dare to insult the lonely father!"
Hua Manman followed the prestige and saw Li Qiong rushing in angrily.
Mr. Zhu stood up and cupped his hands towards Li Qiong.
"Meet His Royal Highness the Prince."
Normal people would definitely panic if they were heard cursing behind their backs.
But Hua Manman is exceptionally calm.
"His Royal Highness must have been standing outside the door for a long time, right? I didn't expect His Royal Highness to have a habit of eavesdropping on corners. It really opened my eyes."
Li Qiong was brought up as a prince since he was a child, and he has always been a star-like existence. How has he ever been humiliated like this
He was so angry that his face was flushed red and his teeth were gritted.
"You are presumptuous! Do you believe that Gu will kill you now?!"
Hua Manman smiled confidently: "Then you have to think clearly, if I die, you have to find a way to deal with the regent, are you sure you can beat him on the battlefield?"
Li Qiong was completely enraged.
Mr. Zhu was worried that he would do something impulsive in a fit of anger, so he had no choice but to comfort him.
"Your Highness, please calm down. She is deliberately provoking you. Don't fall into her trap."
