Chapter 491 Honest

On the west building, Song Nan and Princess Ping'an, who had lunch, sat down and talked to each other. Song Nan believed that the relationship between Princess Ping'an and King Anhua was embarrassing, and might be able to reach an alliance with Princess Ping'an, so he openly told Princess Ping's purpose of entering the royal palace.

After Song Nan said the reason for the adventure, Princess Ping'an fell into meditation. After a long time, she looked up and said, "In this way, do you suspect that the death of your Jinyiwei's secret agent in the royal palace was caused by Prince Anhua?"

Song Nan said, "I don't doubt it. I almost dare to conclude that he did it. During the autopsy, Xu Fu and three other brocade guards placed in the royal palace secretly sighed that the scars on their chest showed this, which was injured by strange weapons. Coincidentally, I had the honor to meet two guards of the King Anhua with fan-shaped weapons, and I concluded that they did it.

"Fan-shaped weapons?" Princess Ping'an frowned and said gently, "Yes, two of the ten guards under Uncle and Prince are indeed holding fans, and the slave family has also seen it."

Song Nan said, "The princess has also seen the blade, which is even more conclusive."

Princess Ping'an said, "But you dare to place a spy in the royal palace. Even if you are killed, you deserve it. Although the guard is strong, does the court law allow you to place a spy at will? Do you even dare to install it in my Qingwang Mansion?

Song Nan smiled and said, "I can understand the indignation of the princess. In fact, it's not only the royal palace, but I don't have to hide this. The princess should know what my Jinyiwei office does and who we do for. You can understand this when you think about it. It's over. In fact, everyone knows these things. I believe that the old prince of Qingwangfu also knew it in his heart when he was alive, but he didn't point it out. In fact, these agents are not trying to destroy anything by any means. As long as everything is on the right track, they can ignore their existence.

Princes Ping'an glanced at Song Nan and said, "It seems natural for you to say so, but I have nothing to refute; you mean, everyone knows that they don't interfere with each other; and the uncle's escort killed your secret agent is breaking the agreed rules?"

Song Nan shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with the rules. To tell you the truth, it is also common for Jinyiwei's spy to be killed. This is a high-risk thing, and the remuneration of these secret agents is also very rich, which is called high risk brings high returns. However, the killing of secret agents will generally be treated as ordinary murder cases. For us, the killing of secret agents is not a big deal, but we must know why they were killed, whether it is the revenge of the people under surveillance, or whether someone wants to cover up any conspiracy. Compared with the former, we want to know more about the latter.

"You are really cold-blooded. Human life is nothing to you. On the contrary, intelligence is more important." Princess Ping's words are a little indifferent.

"The princess has reason to accuse us of this, but this is based on emotional considerations; from the standpoint of my Jinyiwei government, I can only say that we must do so, otherwise my government does not deserve to be called Jinyiwei government and cannot perform the duties entrusted by the emperor. In other words, a worthless government has no The necessity of existence.

"Do you have to be cold-blooded and reckless to work for the emperor?" Princess Ping's mouth was sneering.

"Princess, can we solve everything by reasoning in the next big tomorrow?"

"Of course not."

"That's it. That's the reason. Tomorrow, we can't rely on compassion and reason alone for thousands of generations. There must be some means."

"I just said that I can completely tell some reason and humanity, instead of blindly using these means."

"Is it reasonable and human?" Song Nan laughed and said, "Dare to ask the princess that King Anhua is your own uncle. Has he ever asked for your opinion and King Qingding when he occupied your palace? If he is willing to reason with you, you can tell him and ask him to leave here and go to his prince's palace in Qingyang instead of occupying the magpie's nest here.

Princess Ping'an was speechless for a moment and said in a low voice for a long time, "Uncle Prince is in charge of the affairs of the royal palace for us. King Qing is young and has nothing to do in the family. Uncle Prince also did this for the good of the royal palace."

Song Nan laughed and said, "Well, then I didn't say anything; princess, we are all smart people, and some of us know that you saved my life, so I told you this from the bottom of my heart. If the princess doesn't like to listen to me, she won't say anything."

Song Nan took a sip of tea and stopped talking.

Princess Ping'an frowned and meditated for a while and broke the silence, "After all, the matter of my Qingwangfu is a family matter, and it should not be interfered by outsiders."

Song Nan said, "I didn't say that I would interfere in the affairs of your Qingwang Mansion. I just want to find out the reason why my spy was killed by the guard of King Anhua, which is the purpose of my entry into the house."

"What on earth do you suspect? Is there any special reason why the uncle found that he was dissatisfied with the identity of the spy and ordered someone to kill him?

"If this is true, I won't take risks. The problem is that I suspect that something important has been hidden behind this, and I will never give up if I don't figure it out; it's not really a big deal that King Anhua killed a few of my secret agents, but in case my people find out some big secret of him and get killed, it will be I checked it to the end."

"Big secret? What the hell are you going to say? Princess Ping An frowned and asked.

"Princess, I can't say anything now, because I haven't found any conclusive evidence, just judging the matter from the clues; if I can find the clues left by my spy before his death, all this can be solved; my spy has a set of means to convey the message, but I have to Only when you find the relevant things they left behind.

"So you came to the house to find the clues they left for Jinyiwei."

"Yes, otherwise will I break into this dragon pool and tiger's den when I'm full?"

Princess Ping'an was silent for a while, as if she had made up her mind and said, "Lord Song, can you tell me that if my uncle really hides something, will my Qingwang Mansion be implicated?"

Song Nan nodded and said, "It depends on what it is. If it is a big deal, the whole palace will definitely be involved. Even if King Qingding is young and ignorant, he may be implicated; princess, it is difficult for you to get out. I'm not scaring people. Nowadays, many things in Anhua Wangxing are under the banner of Qingwang Mansion. You should be very clear about this.

Princess Ping'an frowned tightly and seemed to have something to say, but she didn't want to open her mouth easily. Song Nan knew that she had hit her life. Her question obviously sensed something from King Anhua and contacted what she said before she reacted.

"Lord Song, you also saw the slave's younger brother Qingding Wang. In fact, he... actually doesn't understand anything. The things that my sister and uncle did in the name of the Qing Palace are actually irrelevant. The emperor should know this."

"There is a saying that the law is merciless and can be forgiven, but from the standpoint of the court, the law enforcement must be fair and strict in order to have the effect of punishment and deterrence, which the princess should know better than I do."

Princess Ping'an fell silent again and said for a long time, "I'm tired. Lord Song can go to rest for a while, and the slave family also wants to calm down."

Song Nan smiled and said, "Princess, I still have something to think about. I'll go to sit in the corner; but I have a ruthless request to ask the princess for help."

"Please say it."

"Can you draw a map of the royal palace for me? I want to go shopping tonight."

Ah? Do you still want to act? This is tantamount to looking for death. No, I can't help you." Princess Ping'an was stunned.

"Princess, if I am caught, I won't implicate the princess in. If the princess doesn't want me to take risks, maybe I can do this in person or ask Qingluan girl to help me, which is very difficult for me, but it is very simple for you."

But why should I help you? You have to deal with my uncle. Princess Ping'an stared at Song Nan with burning eyes.

Song Nan stood up and bowed her hand, and then said slowly, "I will repay the princess."

"Joke, what do you need in return? Although you are an important member of the imperial court, our Qingwang Mansion is a noble family. Don't forget that we are surnamed Zhu.

"The princess's status is noble, and the blood flowing on her body is Taizu, which is unparalleled. To some extent, this world is actually your Zhu's family; but the princess knows in your heart that the surname Zhu cannot represent everything, and the relatives of the imperial family may not be able to live a peaceful life; for example, the current Qingwang Mansion, the place of the princess and King Qingding The situation is very embarrassing; a small deputy commander of the guard can forcibly break into the princess's boudoir and search. King Qingding is in the royal palace, but he is not even free to think of where to play and sleep. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, how could I have believed such a thing.

"You... don't do your business either." Princess Ping'an said angrily, "You'd better think about your great crime of sneaking into King Qing's Mansion as a member of the court. If I don't help you, you can't think you can get out of this palace. If you are caught by your uncle, he will make you worse than death."

Song Nan laughed and said, "Princess, don't scare me. I know you will definitely help me. I'm not worried about this at all."

"What can you do if I don't help you? Kill me? Do you think I'm willing to be coerced by you for fear of death?

Song Nan said righteously, "Of course, the princess is not such a person, and Song Nan will not rely on this means to achieve his goal. I believe you will help me, because you and I have a common purpose. Once I find out the secret behind King Anhua, I may make you and King Qingding become the masters of this Qingwang Mansion again. Believe me, I can drive away the king of Anhua for you, so that he will no longer become a dark cloud over the palace of King Qing, and so that he will no longer be the shadow on the head of the princess, the king of Qingding. Isn't this result what you dream of?

Princess Ping'an opened her beautiful eyes, bit her lower lip and looked at Song Nan, and whispered for a long time, "Is this your promise?"
