Chapter 44 After the mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch, the mechanism is too smart

Ximenque seemed to understand my mood at this moment. There was a trace of loneliness at the corners of his mouth and said nothing more.

The endless night always shrouded the prosperous world like a haze. Even if there are a few stars twinkling, it is difficult to eliminate its loneliness.

It's like the mood when a person is helpless. In a strange place, there is no one to trust. There is no relative. Living in one conspiracy after another, that kind of loneliness and fear, like carrying a bomb with you, will explode at any time. Maybe when you can't withstand the pressure of the outside world, and suddenly you will be annihilated. At the same time, you should always beware of falling into another trap again and becoming a chess piece on other people's chessboard again.

I hate this kind of life, but I can't get rid of it at all.

This night, Ximenque didn't mean to leave the Qingcheng Hall at all, but because we haven't talked much before, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

I thought he would never enter my room again, but I didn't expect that just as I was about to go to bed, Simonque knocked on my door again.

I looked helplessly at him sitting in my **, with a far-fetched smile on the corners of his mouth. He seemed to be trying to restrain himself from others from seeing his true thoughts. But I'm not in the mood to analyze what it is.

Instead of being so scared every day, it's better to have a showdown and make everything clear. From then on, we will never be involved at all.

I looked up and was about to speak. I happened to look up at Simonque, as if I had something to say, just like me.

"Woman, what are you going to say?" The smile at the corners of his mouth was not as far-fetched as just now, and it became very natural. It was his usual evil charm.

I went straight to the topic: "When will you let me go and let Qin Huang go?"

"It makes you feel uncomfortable to live here. Who are you in a hurry to leave? In the past, when Xiao Yeyu was in Shu, didn't you live here?

I know that he thought I was the same as before and wanted to find Ye Yu in a hurry.

And I just don't want to be used by him to hurt others again, and I don't want Qin Huang to suffer too much humiliation in his hands. If he hadn't untied the Danfeng on Qin Huang's body, how did he play the treacherous flute in the place I couldn't see and torment Qin Huang's will?

"The deal between us is over. What's the point of being so sleepy now? I won't be used by you again, and don't try to blackmail me to do something for you again. Since some things have passed, I didn't understand what was going on at that time. Later, I suddenly understood, and it was inevitable that I would be very angry. But at this moment, I just want to get rid of his shackles as soon as possible.

"I have never understood why you put me blatantly, even with great fanfare, into Mo Youchen's side. And after that, you clearly know that the message I sent to you is false, but you have never exposed it. I always thought that raising soldiers for a thousand days would be used for a while. You just want to play my chess piece at the right time. But I didn't expect that you had already laid the game. I thought I was born out of chess, but I didn't know that I had already been in it.

Ximenque's eyes looking at me have always been calm, but there is no smile just now.

"You have been designing this bureau since we first appeared in Fengque Pavilion. Fengque Pavilion has a lot of eyeliners. When we leave Taoyuan and go ashore, you will keep an eye on us. At that time, I was not in your plan, because you didn't expect that there would be one more me beside Xiao Yeyu. But you, Ximenque, will never waste any powerful resources, not to mention that I gave you chess pieces for nothing. So you deliberately married in order to attract our attention, and then go to your Fengque Pavilion to save people. But I didn't expect that Yin Yuan would be killed halfway, that is, Yin Xueyuan, who dressed as a woman. You can see that he is the identity of the Queen of Shu. It happened that he sent you another chess piece without any effort.

We fell into your trap and went through the Fengque Pavilion to save people at night. After that, you deliberately threw all your eyes on me. Although it was just a look, it was precisely those eyes that made Ye Yu, who was already suspicious of me more questionable.

Ximenque suddenly had a sneer at the corners of his mouth: "It seems that you are quite thoughtful."

I didn't pay attention to him. I sat at the carved table beside me, poured a cup of tea, and continued: "I just admire your Ximen Que's strategy. I figured out my personality in a short time after we went ashore, and took advantage of it without leakage. Later, the death of Yin Tianyi, the Southern Emperor, made your plan more like a fish in water. Not long after the death of Yin Tianni, the war between Yan and Nan was still going on. Yin Xueyuan first ascended the throne and needed strong support. You take this opportunity to encourage the marriage of the ministers of the Southern Kingdom. Everyone knows that the people of the southern country are outstanding. There are many counselors in the dynasty, and the southern country has inexhaustible food and fodder all year round. Countries who want to fight for hegemony will inevitably go to fight for marriage, and you can just happen to live in it.

But you didn't expect that Yin Xueyuan fell in love with me, who was dressed as a man at that time. This change has destroyed all your previous plans.

Ximenque came over and sat opposite me and poured a cup of tea, but he didn't mean to drink tea, he just played with the teacup in his hand. The expression on his face was calm from beginning to end, and there was not much change.

I'm afraid that not only Ximen Que didn't expect it at that time, but also Xiao Yeyu didn't expect that Yin Xueyuan would choose me regardless of the opposition of the courtiers. Otherwise, how can he go and ask for a second marriage to Mo Bixuan? I've been thinking that Qin Huang said at the beginning that they were going to Nanguo to do business, but I never understood why. It turned out that at that time, Ye Yu also wanted to fight for marriage with Nanguo and expand his strength. Therefore, after everyone's plan was shattered, he restored his status as the prime minister of the State of Shu and married the princess of the State of Shu. Although this plan was a little dangerous to work with Mo Youchen and Ximenque at the same time, Xiao Yeyu could only do so at that time.

I sorted out my emotions and continued to say in a plain tone, "When your plan was shattered, you found another opportunity in an instant. Ye Yu doubted my identity, and naturally doubted the purpose of me entering Taoyuan to get close to them, so he sent a man in black to take me away secretly just as you saw me, so you robbed me. At that time, you understood the friendship between me and Xiao Yeyu, and also understood the purpose of Xiao Yeyu's coming out of the mountain this time. Therefore, you blatantly put me next to Mo Youchen, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. That is, it successfully destroyed my relationship with Xiao Yeyu, and made Xiao Yeyu, who had a life-and-death appointment with me, become hostile to a certain dust. You can take advantage of the fisherman.

But the mantis caught the cicada, and the yellow finch was behind it, and Ximenque's plan was recognized by Ye Yu. And the policy was quickly adopted. Ye Yu sent Qin Huang to stab Mo Kuang, and then provoked the war between the allied forces of Yan, Han and Yue and Nan as the prince of the State of Yan, so that the prince who was in prison had to go on an expedition in person. In this way, he can act as the prime minister to hold the supreme power of Shu.

Although Mo Youchen is not as far-sighted as them, he is not a general person. How could he not see through the situation, so he asked Ye Yu and Ximen Que to supervise the country together to restrain each other.

People are not as good as heaven. A certain dust did not succeed in the expedition, and after all, he could not escape the emperor's disaster. I thought I could take this opportunity to stop Ximenque's ambition, take the fairy mother grass, take advantage of the identity of the crown princess and the Queen of Qingning's love for her son Mo Youchen, master the power of Shu, take the opportunity to hand over the state of Shu to Ye Yu, and also fulfill my imperial promise to him. But I didn't expect that the Empress of Qingning did not take full account of her son as I thought, but joined hands with Ximen Que. And when Ye Yu, who had been getting Wan Qing to calm down and knew that Mo Youchen and I were not husband and wife, instantly learned that I was pregnant, he was furious and the silver needle pricked the acupuncture point and let himself stand for a short time, so that there would be the change of the thunderstorm night...

The most unfortunate thing is that Wan Qing didn't know the truth until the end. Even if I died for me, I didn't know that I took the fairy grass without telling her, and she was punished for misrepresenting the news by Ye Yu...

When I say this, my mood is always calm, just like saying something that has nothing to do with me.

After listening to my words, a certain dust kept holding the slender fingertips of the teacup with a trace of trembling, but it was only for a moment. Then he smiled and said, "When did you understand all this?"

Indeed, when I was still trying to help Ye Yu in the name of a certain dust, I really didn't understand this.

Until that night, Ye Yuru, like a bloodthirsty demon, broke into the East Palace, and let me slowly start to reflect on everything before, until I stayed in the Qingxin Hall for three months.

"When I was in the Qingxin Hall..."

Ximenque seemed to have known my answer for a long time. A touch of laughter at the corners of his mouth instantly turned into evil charm. He raised the teacup beside him and looked up at his eyes, turning it as if it was full of his mood at this moment: "I told you, it's not a good thing for a woman to be too smart sometimes."

After saying this, he held the hand holding the teacup with a sudden force. The teacup instantly turned into pieces, and the bursting fragments cut his fingers, and a trace of blood flowed along his fingertips to the bright red phoenix peony tablecloth on the carved table.

The sound of the broken cup is like a sharp sword, instantly cutting through the quiet sky, making the surrounding air more strange and adding some dangerous factors.

Ximen Que stood up and approached me step by step. His eyes became more and more depressing, and I slowly retreated with his footsteps. In an instant, there was a clear sky thunder outside, like a flashing silver needle. I was stunned for a moment, and my body staggered to the ground, and my arm was just captured by the front.
