Putting the letter away, Su Changan digested it for a while, then looked at Xia Fengxiang: "From my point of view, I should choose the worst option."
Xia Fengxiang reached out and took the letter back, then threw it directly into the brazier on the side.
Once you've used it, there's no need to keep it.
The reason why he kept it until now was that Xia Fengxiang wanted to show it to Su Changan later.
Xia Fengxiang glanced at the burning flames, turned his head and looked at Su Changan and said, "I must use the best plan. As for the worst plan, I just glanced at it and was too lazy to look at it. Besides, I have long wanted to hand over my eighth uncle to you. What I didn't expect was that although I knew that the rumor appeared in the capital, it was a signal for Fang Wenhe to take action, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. Thanks to me for asking Lin Huaimu to prepare these things early, otherwise, maybe I wouldn't be able to lure out the leader of the Qingyi Sect today. That person has been hiding in the capital for many days, but I heard from Aunt Yan that the person is best at concealing his aura, and even Aunt Yan finds it difficult to find him."
At this point, Xia Fengxiang showed a hint of dissatisfaction, but it quickly disappeared, and then he said: "In fact, I have been looking for that believer for a long time, and after Fang Wenhe told me what he was going to do, I thought that since that person was hiding in the capital to kill you and me, I asked Lin Huaimu to keep an eye on him earlier."
"But after all, I haven't found the believer yet. I don't know whether he will take action or not. I'm just taking a gamble, but I think he will take action. After all, there is no better opportunity for him to take action against me than today, so he took action."
"You don't know, I was really relieved when Shanxin died. Otherwise, I would be worried every time you left the palace. Not only would I have Aunt Yan keep a close eye on you, but I would also have Lin Huaimu keep a close eye on you, for fear that he would suddenly assassinate you and hurt you. After all, an assassin from the end is too difficult to deal with."
"As for Uncle Ba, it doesn't matter whether he participates or not, because Teng Yuanfeng beside him is Lin Huaimu's subordinate. But I thought Uncle Ba would hide in his warehouse and let Teng Yuanfeng lure Di Hui over to catch him, but I didn't expect Uncle Ba to come and see it himself. I don't know what he was thinking. So, it doesn't matter whether he took the initiative to participate or not, because with Teng Yuanfeng's testimony, he participated."
"As for why I let a small Dali Temple judge catch the Eighth Prince, it was actually to make me more powerful. After all, Di Hui has been a police officer for more than ten years and is very famous among the people. He has solved many cases. In order to make sure he can catch the Eighth Prince, I also asked Lian Wei to get Lian Qiao under his control. Although Lian Qiao was not there at the time, he was caught anyway, so it doesn't matter."
"But arresting Uncle Ba is just a side job, he is not important! The real purpose of this matter is to capture these martial arts sects and have a chance to overturn the verdict. Before, Uncle Ba caused chaos in Yandi, and about 130,000 people died, not counting those who fled."
At this point, Xia Fengxiang paused while looking at Su Changan, but looking at Su Changan, Xia Fengxiang still said: "It doesn't count the people who died in the hands of bandits on the way to escape, or starved to death, or died for other reasons. This matter needs to be explained to people. But Uncle Ba has so many soldiers in his hands, and now Xia Zhixu is going to marry the Queen Mother of Mobei, Shulü Ping, so I can't do it directly. I have to find a suitable opportunity. So I simply acted as bait myself to lure out the believers, so that you, who likes to run around in the palace when you have nothing to do, can be safer. Then, I can thoroughly confirm the evidence of Uncle Ba's crimes, and I can also preserve Fang Wenhe's position with the King of Shu."
After saying that, Xia Fengxiang picked up the spoon, scooped a small spoonful of porridge, blew it gently, and brought it to Su Changan's mouth.
Su Changan ate it.
Then Xia Fengxiang looked distressed: "But I didn't expect you to suddenly appear and get injured."
There is no such thing as absolute safety in the world; it is only in our imagination after all.
but.
Xia Fengxiang was extremely grateful thinking that Su Chang'an was safe and sound in the hands of the Qingyi Sect's believers, who were also well-known in the world, even though he had only suffered minor injuries.
Su Changan didn't think about it anymore. In his opinion, no matter what Xia Fengxiang planned, as long as Xia Fengxiang was not injured and was safe and sound, that was the right thing to do.
Xia Fengxiang reached out to help Su Changan wipe the corners of his mouth, and then continued: "However, there is no need to think too much about these things, it's all over anyway. It's just that your injury annoys me. However, your injury actually helped Fang Wenhe by accident."
Su Changan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he immediately understood and said, "Although the assassination was not successful, at least my queen was injured, right?"
Xia Fengxiang nodded: "Well, Fang Wenhe is smart. Once he knows about this, he will know how to take advantage of it."
Su Changan smiled helplessly, and just lowered his head to look at his wound. After thinking for a while, he raised his eyes and looked at Xia Fengxiang: "That Lin Huaimu, the one from Shen Ce Mansion?"
Xia Fengxiang shook his head. "They are from the Thirteen Guards. They were established by my father to do things that cannot be done openly. The thirteen people each have their own duties, and most of them were recruited by my father when he was away from home in the early years. But after my father died, some people left. But some people chose to be loyal to me. I don't care about those who leave. I can replace them later. Aunt Yan and Li Xizhi are both among these thirteen people. Lin Huaimu's name is Di Ting. He opened a theater in the capital and became a storyteller. All the intelligence I get every day is sent by him. He also arranges for those who need to be manned around others."
"As for the early winter poetry gathering, I asked my aunt to contact him and asked him to secretly send someone to protect you."
Hearing this, Su Changan suddenly realized something, then thought about it and decided not to ignore his doubts.
but.
After taking a sip of the porridge that Xia Fengxiang fed him, Su Changan glanced at the small box on the side that contained many documents and letters.
Then he looked at the secret compartment at the head of his bed and asked, "One last question. Tell me first, are there any other secret compartments in my bed?"
Xia Fengxiang heard this and said, "No, that's it."
When he said this, Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan: "Su Changan, are you still blaming me for not telling you in advance? I have apologized to you so many times, and I put this thing on your head, and I didn't intend to hide it from you. You didn't find it yourself, what can I do! You are still blaming me now, aren't you!"
Su Changan said "Hmm?", feeling something was not right, how come this girl suddenly became the host?
Xia Fengxiang continued, "And you were mean to me just now! You scolded me! I saw that you were injured while saving me, so I didn't intend to say anything more to you. I obeyed you in everything, but you got even more demanding, didn't you! Have you forgotten that I am the domineering empress!"
As he said this, Xia Fengxiang took a spoonful of porridge and put it to Su Changan's mouth: "Open your mouth! Eat! Don't think about these things that are possible or not now. I will tell you everything I do in the future, but don't give me the idea that you can have that beautiful dream of being a domineering queen that you said yourself! Have some idea of what you are like! Ah!"
Su Changan had a look of grievance on his face, but after thinking about it, he didn't eat the porridge. Instead, he showed a painful look on his face: "It hurts~~"
Xia Fengxiang was stunned for a moment.
Su Changan then said, "It hurts even more after what you said. My heart hurts even more. Stand there and let me say something to you, or you won't get better."
Hearing this, Xia Fengxiang immediately realized that Su Changan was pretending. He rolled his eyes, ate a mouthful of porridge, then bent down and grabbed Su Changan's face with both hands.
Mouth to mouth.
Feed with your own mouth.
The warmth of the porridge and the softness of her lips were clearly felt by both of them.
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang, who was also looking at him without closing his eyes.
Their eyes met.
Xia Fengxiang's eyes were full of sweetness.
at last
Xia Fengxiang raised his head slightly, then looked at Su Changan with a red face: "Su Changan."
Su Changan: "Huh?"
Xia Fengxiang finally said what he had been holding back for a long time: "That's right. Um. You looked particularly good today. Whether it was when you saved me or when you were talking about me."
Su Changan was stunned for a moment and felt weird. After all, it was okay for others, but why did his wife say that he was pretty?
but.
It doesn't seem to matter anymore.
Su Changan said, "How about another try? Although I'm injured, it won't affect my work."
Hearing this, Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Changan, then wiped the porridge off his lips, coughed and said, "Anyway, it's like this, don't go hungry, only when you are full can you heal your body! If you don't eat, I'll feed you! And don't think about those messy things! Let's talk about it after your injury is healed!"
Hearing this, Su Changan immediately said: "No, wife, what you did is no different from taking off my pants but suddenly not doing it. Just tell me how hateful you are!"
Xia Fengxiang immediately understood what he meant and was about to reach out to hit him, but then he thought better of it and just glared at Su Changan.
But he suddenly thought of something, so he asked Su Changan with a smile: "Speaking of which, it is very likely that nothing will be found in Eighth Uncle's mansion. After all, no matter how stupid he is, it is impossible for him to leave anything in the mansion in the capital, so I let Yang Guofu go."
Hearing this, Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang helplessly.
It’s not that I’m going to trick Yang Guofu.
But
Bad guys understand bad guys, and only bad guys can do certain things.
but.
Su Changan thought about it and asked, "For the King of Shu to see?"
Xia Fengxiang didn't say anything, but smiled.
And at this time.
The voice of Grand Palace Concubine Sun came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Madam. The four gentlemen Lu Qingxu, Wei Xuancheng, Yan Ci, and Yang Guofu, who were ordered to confiscate the property, sent people to deliver a letter to the palace, saying that important evidence was found in the Prince of Yan's Mansion."
Hearing this, Xia Fengxiang walked outside, opened the door, and saw Sun Shanggong holding a letter in her hand.
I only heard Shang Gong Sun repeating the original words of the person who brought the letter in.
They probably discovered the secret room and the things inside. The letter was placed in the secret room and they didn't read it, but they were sure that the Eighth Prince was going to rebel and kill the king!
After hearing this, Xia Fengxiang was stunned for a moment.
because
I never expected that my eighth uncle would actually keep those things in his mansion in the capital.
He immediately felt helpless, and finally understood why his father dared to let his eighth uncle be like this.
Shaking his head helplessly, Xia Fengxiang took the letter back to Su Changan and opened it to read.
Su Changan didn't look at him, but just looked at Xia Fengxiang.
After Xia Fengxiang finished reading all of them, he frowned and handed one of them to Su Changan: "There's nothing else, just what he said to some of his subordinates in Yandi. But this one, take a look."
Su Changan took it and started reading it as well.
The letter was written by the Eighth Prince and his subordinates in Yan.
The content was very simple. It was to ask his subordinate to stop investigating Su Changan, because he was 100% sure that Su Changan was the backup plan used by the late emperor to deal with him.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Su Changan raised his eyes and looked at Xia Fengxiang: "There is always a fool in every generation of your Xia family, right?"
Xia Fengxiang stopped and chuckled, then looked at Su Changan and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Su Changan was helpless for a moment, but he only heard Xia Fengxiang say: "However, Eighth Uncle is really stupid. He uses you as my father's backup. Moreover, the most powerful guards around him are those left by my father, who can kill him at any time. As for the counselors under his command, one is called Shen Pei, who was planted by the King of Shu. Speaking of this person, he should be in Wanning County soon. I deliberately let him get to Xia Zhixu safely and let Xia Zhixu kill him. Hey, this Eighth Uncle..."
At the end of his speech, Xia Fengxiang looked pitiful.
But the next second, Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan: "What would he think if you told Eighth Uncle that you were not the backup left by the Emperor, but an ordinary person from Yandi? And the letter also said that he investigated you and found out that you and your brother are both men, so he thought that the investigation was wrong."
At this point, Xia Fengxiang shook his head: "He would rather believe his own people than believe that you are really a man. Do you want to reflect on why you are so good-looking? Hmm? What did you do? Rest well!"
Su Changan lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed.
After hearing what Xia Fengxiang said, Su Changan immediately said, "Go see the Eighth Prince. You hit him twice to vent your anger, but I haven't! And I thought about it. He treated me as someone left by my father-in-law to deal with him, so he was cautious about many things. If I tell him that I am from an ordinary village and I am a man, won't he be mad to death? But it doesn't matter. The important thing is that you don't mention it, but since you mentioned it, I need to stab him twice. If I don't, I won't be able to sleep well tonight!"
……
Ps: There is a high probability that there will be no second chapter. I will adjust my status and update the first chapter tomorrow morning or noon.
Chapter 297: Fox Eyes, also worried about the Queen
After hearing Su Changan's words, Xia Fengxiang wanted to scold Su Changan.
Why bother stabbing or not? My uncle is locked up in the cell, so why not go there anytime?
Now he's injured and still doing this!
But
After thinking about it, Xia Fengxiang didn't say anything in the end. He just watched Su Changan hesitate for several times and then simply helped Su Changan change his clothes.
What can I do?
Xia Fengxiang knew Su Changan. He seemed to be cheerful and indifferent about everything on weekdays, but once he made up his mind about something, he would become a stubborn donkey!
Especially this matter.
