It is not normal at all that someone from Bingjun, the book merchant of the Ministry of War, would run to find Li Chu.
One is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the other is a mountain hunter. How can the two of them overlap
The people under His Royal Highness brought back the man under Shang Bingjun and dragged him into the prison for interrogation.
Did the man have no orthodox training? The prince's subordinates are professional again. After some interrogation, the man vomited a lot.
The matter is very important, and the subordinates also know the priorities. After hearing what the person said, they knew that the matter was serious, and they immediately reported the information to His Royal Highness without caring about anything.
Shang Bingjun and Li Chu knew each other, and Shang Bingjun was not the main one between the two of them. Li Chu's status was higher than Shang Bingjun's. Just an illiterate mountain hunter, the position between the two of them is clear at a glance.
However, the dignified Minister of the Ministry of War regards a mountain hunter as the main one, which is obviously extremely abnormal.
That Li Chu's identity is problematic.
Before, Qi Heng felt that something was wrong with Li Chu's situation. Of course, he didn't suspect that Li Chu's identity was wrong, but he thought that after Li Chu rescued Qi Wang, he might have concealed Qi Wang's traces and deliberately made him like him. She fell in love with him and insisted on marrying him.
Before, he just felt that this Li Chu's mind was not pure, and his status was really low, so he didn't want his younger brother to be with such a person.
However, it now appears that Li Chu is even more unbearable than he thought.
Li Chu's identity is fake, Orion's identity is fake, so will it be true that he saved Qi Wang
Before, Qi Heng thought that there might be other people behind Shang Bingjun, but now he thinks that the person behind Shang Bingjun is 80% likely to be Li Chu.
If this person is Li Chu, this can also explain why Shang Bingjun strongly opposes his daughter marrying Qi Wang.
No matter who Li Chu is, at least Qi Wang is his lord in name. Even if he has no feelings for Qi Wang, but he has a desire for monopoly, it is impossible for him to allow his own person to be taken over by his daughter.
And just as Qi Wang asked Shang Wanqing to enter the palace, Shang Bingjun sent someone to find Li Chu. This behavior also proved that Qi Heng's guess was correct.
If this life-saving grace is mixed with water, then was it really just an accident that Qi Wang fell off the cliff
He knows Qi Wang's character. Because of his poor health, he likes to be quiet and doesn't like to move, so his riding and archery skills are only so-so, and the people who serve him are also carefully selected. He knows that his riding and archery skills are not good. The horses are also domesticated, and they are the most docile. Even people who don't know how to ride and shoot will not be thrown when they sit on them.
How could a horse like this suddenly go berserk, so many people couldn't stop it, and it directly led Qi Wang and his horse to fall off the cliff
Then Qi Heng remembered that the person who accompanied Qi Wang to the hunting ground was Chang An, and the person who served Qi Wang personally was also Chang An.
Chang'an is a member of Shang Bingjun, if he cooperates with outsiders inside and outside, he can create an accident like Qi's falling off his horse.
After thinking of this matter, Qi Heng immediately went to the prison and interrogated Chang'an himself.
"Chang'an, this king already knows the truth of the matter. Your real master is not Shang Bingjun, but the Orion pretending to be Li Chu, right? The incident of falling from the horse was concocted by you in order to make Li Chu a The second prince’s savior, and then entered Qinglan City as the second prince’s lover, is this king right or wrong?”
Chang An was imprisoned in the prison for such a long time, he suffered a lot of torture, and there was no good flesh left on his body, the guards simply bandaged him to prevent him from dying so soon.
To be able to survive until now, Chang'an is completely dependent on his breath, thinking that his master will definitely be able to rescue him.
He is the deepest pawn of Chu State buried in Qi State. He has been with the second prince of Qi State since he was a child. Qi Wang is so stupid that he is so stupid that he doesn't know many things clearly, but he keeps everything in his heart. .
Qi Wang was favored, and these people in the palace never guarded against him, but Changan coaxed Qi Wang early on, and he was willing to take him with him wherever he went, which also made it easier for Changan to pry into various secrets.
Chang An is a very smart person. In order to prevent himself from being abandoned by the Chu State, the information he handed out was actually incomplete every time, and he always held a part of the information in his hands.
As long as Chu State's scheme remains unchanged, his chess piece will be of great use, and this is also the backhand he left for himself.
Before Qi Heng's subordinates found out that he was inserted by Shang Bingjun, Chang An was not surprised. It was Qi Heng's ability to find out here, and he couldn't find out what was behind Shang Bingjun anyway. who is the person.
His master will not give up on him, and will definitely find a way to save him.
However, he never dreamed that Qi Heng would find out Li Chu's identity and know that he was the person Li Chu sent.
The expression on Chang An's face quickly darkened, and his body couldn't help shaking violently.
Li Chu is his only hope, only Li Chu can rescue him, and these days he has been supported by this belief.
However, Qi Heng found out that there was something wrong with Li Chu. This is Qi State, not Chu State. Even if Li Chu had some influence, it was impossible for him to escape under the siege of Qi State.
At this time, Li Chu was already in danger of protecting himself, how could he come to save him
After his faith collapsed, Qi Heng promised that as long as he told everything he knew, then his life would be kept.
Otherwise, a useless slave would die if he died, and if he stayed in the sky prison, he would waste an extra amount of food.
The instinct for survival prevailed, and in order to survive, Chang Le recruited everything he knew.
But in the end he kept his hand, only saying that Li Chu's identity was indeed a disguise, and he didn't say that he was the prince of Chu, nor did he say that he himself was from Chu.
But it doesn't matter if he said it or not.
Shang Bingjun is Minister of the Ministry of War of Qi State, and it is not easy to climb to his position. If he does not have enough interests, Shang Bingjun will not betray Qi State.
Li Chu is not from Qi, he is probably from Chu or Lu, and Shang Bingjun should also be a pawn buried in Qi by these two countries.
The prince has already sent people to watch Li Chu, if he still dares to enter Qinglan City, his people will arrest Li Chu.
Designing the second prince of Qi, and using his status as the second prince to get close to the royal family, this Li Chu's plan is very big and must not be tolerated.
But the top priority is to tell Qi Wang about this matter, so that he can be mentally prepared—his relationship was a scam from the very beginning, and even his falling off a cliff was a well-designed conspiracy by the other party.
Qi Heng can tell that Qi Wang has never forgotten Li Chu. After all, he was the first person he fell in love with when he was young. Everything will make the affectionate Qi Wang unforgettable.
However, if Qi Wang knew that all of this was carefully designed by others, and his feelings were all in the design of others, he would no longer have any feelings for that person.
"Li Chu's identity is fake, and so is the deadly favor. He knew from the very beginning that you are the second prince of Qi, and what he did was just to take advantage of your status as the second prince."
Qi Wang didn't speak, but his face turned pale, as if he couldn't accept this terrible fact.
Seeing Qi Wang's appearance, Qi Heng couldn't bear it, but the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain, this time he will have to bear it sooner or later, instead of knowing it from others, it is better for him to tell him, so that he can be prepared .
The little prince who was cared for by them should also grow up.
All the Ministers of the Ministry of War of Qi State can be pawns of other countries, the situation is more serious than he thought, and Qi Wang has become a shortcoming of those people's calculations. Under such circumstances, they can no longer protect him. If he doesn't grow up, sooner or later he will be plotted against.
"An'an, I know you are very sad and sad, but some things don't exist if you don't face them. Li Chu is a spy sent by another country. What he is plotting is the entire Qi country. Second prince, you have the right to protect this country and the people of this country, and the love of children cannot override the interests of the family and the country, I hope you can understand."
"Your country is more important than your feelings."
Qi Wang didn't speak, just lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Before today, he was still a young man who was innocent and ignorant of the world. He was pampered by those who loved him, and all the sufferings were kept out.
Qi Heng knows that forcing Qi Wang to grow up is actually a very cruel thing, but he also knows that his younger brother is actually far stronger than he thought, he may suffer, but he will grow up soon .
Underneath the seemingly calm lake is a turbulent undercurrent, and these undercurrents are about to set off huge waves. If they want the big ship of Qi State to not sink, everyone must work hard.
"An'an, do you understand?"
Seeing that Qi Wang hadn't spoken, Qi Heng couldn't help but ask again.
After a while, Qi Wang raised his head and looked at Qi Heng.
His eyes were a little red, but there were no tears in them, and his whole expression looked much tougher than before.
"Brother, I know. The one I like is the man who saved me in times of crisis, took care of me wholeheartedly, and didn't treat me well because of my identity, not the man who calculated carefully."
"I know what to do, brother, don't worry, as the second prince of Qi, I know what my responsibility is."
Seeing Qi Wang like this, Qi Heng breathed a sigh of relief, he stood up, walked around the desk and came in front of Qi Wang, then reached out and hugged him.
"An'an, you are better than I thought."
The two brothers chatted for a while in the study, Qi Heng still had a lot of business to deal with, and he didn't have much time to spend with Qi Wang, so after chatting for a short time, he arranged for someone to send Qi Wang back.
After returning to the Longevity Palace, Qi Wang shut himself in the bedroom without anyone serving him.
Cuiwei and Honghong were a little anxious and kept asking what happened to Changle.
"Chang Le, what's wrong with your Highness? It was fine when I went out just now, why did you come back like this?"
"That's right, Chang Le, you have been following His Highness all day today, and told us what happened."
However, although Chang Le went to the East Palace with Qi Wang, when His Highness the Crown Prince was talking about things with his young Highness, he didn't let anyone come forward at all, so he didn't know what happened.
"Cuiwei Scarlet, I really don't know what happened. His Royal Highness and our little Highness are discussing things in the study, and no outsiders are allowed to approach. I have been guarding outside, and I don't know what happened."
Both Cuiwei and Honghong knew what kind of person Changle was, and it was related to His Highness, if they knew something, how could they not tell them
The three of them didn't know what happened, because Qi Wang never came out, nor did he invite anyone in to serve him, the three of them felt extremely uneasy.
Qi Wang finally came out of the room during dinner, his mood seemed normal, and he didn't seem to be bothered by anything, the three of them were slightly relieved, thinking that they might have thought too much before.
After dinner, Hong Hong was about to pack her things and go out when Qi Wang stopped her and explained one thing.
"Crimson, teach me how to make pies tomorrow morning."
Crimson was taken aback for a moment, but remembered what Qi Wang said before that she wanted to learn pastry making from her, and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I will prepare the materials tomorrow morning."
Qi Wang nodded, indicating that she could go down.
After Hong Hong packed up the dishes and left, Chang Le soon came in from outside the hall.
I ate a bit too much for dinner, Qi Wang supported his waist and walked around the room slowly, thinking that he had digested his food.
Chang Le paid attention to Qi Huang's expression, seeing that his appearance was the same as usual, Chang Le quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s alright, alright, he’s really afraid that something will happen to their little highness, although the little highness seems to be quite normal recently, but Changle knows that the little highness has something on his mind, but the current little highness seems to be a little different from him in the past, In the past, the little highness would occasionally talk to him about his thoughts, but now the little highness is unwilling to say anything. Even though the little highness looks good at talking now, it is always different from his past.
Just when Changle was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard Qi Wang ask a question.
"Chang Le, do you also think that Li Chu is not a good guy?"
Chang Le was stunned, and suddenly raised his head to look at Qi Huang.
At this time, Qi Wang was standing by the window, he opened the window a small gap, the cold wind from outside swirled in, and his wide hem was swayed slightly by the wind.
After Chang Le was silent for a moment, he slowly said: "Yes, Your Highness, he is not good enough for you."
Qi Huang smiled, raised his hand to close the window with some gaps open, and then said: "I also think he is not a good person. He fed the dog sincerely. It is always a little sad. You don't have to worry, I will very good."
Chang Le was stunned, and after understanding the meaning of Qi Wang's words, his eyes couldn't help but feel a little sore.
His Royal Highness is still so gentle, what he said just now is to explain to himself what was wrong with him before.
Chang Le's eyes became sore, and his voice became choked up: "Your Highness, you are really kind, and you will definitely meet a better person in the future. A person like that is not worthy of you, so don't think about it anymore." him."
Seeing that Chang Le seemed to be about to cry, Qi Wang felt a little helpless—his acting skills seemed a little too good.
But Qi Wang didn't tell Chang Le much about Li Chu, not because he didn't trust Chang Le, but because the less people knew about it, the better, and sometimes it's a kind of happiness to know less.
****
The next morning, Qi Wang got up early, and after cleaning up, he followed Hong Hong to the small kitchen of the Longevity Palace.
The ingredients in the small kitchen are all available, and Qi Wang has prepared all the seasonings for making pies. He said that Qi Wang would do it himself, but he is His Highness, so why should he do everything by himself
Looking at these semi-finished products in front of him, Qi Wang fell into silence.
He actually wanted to learn from scratch.
But you can't become a big fat man with one bite, so take your time and take it easy.
Facts have proved that Qi Wang's talent in cooking is really not that good.
