Chapter 171: People are not as good as God (Part 2)
Although Xin Luo is not as smart as Xin Zhi, she is not stupid enough to embroider pillows.
When Zhuge Yue stared at her like this, she immediately came back to her senses.
"My lord, please don't accuse me unjustly. I have never thought of doing anything to disgrace you!"
Zhuge Yue curled his lips: "It's not difficult for me to believe you. Please tell me first why Prince Kang is suspicious of your sister?"
Xin Luo said: "This matter started last year..."
After listening to her story, Zhuge Yue was frightened.
"Are you talking about Huan San Gongzi Huan Ji?"
Xin Luo dared to mention Huan Ji in front of him, but she didn't dare to tell the truth.
She nodded: "I heard from my sister that Huan Ji used the pseudonym Qiao Jia to sneak into Prince Kang's side, and he was quite popular.
Last year during the Shangsi Festival, Emperor Ji'an went to the imperial mausoleum to worship his mother, and Huanji also went with him."
Zhuge Yue narrowed his eyes: "You mean, Huan Ji was responsible for the assassination of Emperor Ji'an?"
Xin Luo said: "At first, Prince Kang only thought that Huan Ji was a hired killer, so he didn't think about my sister.
Later, I don’t know where he got the news, saying that Qiao Jia was actually the third son of the Tianshui County Duke of the Great Wei Dynasty, so he became suspicious of my sister."
Zhuge Yue sneered secretly.
No wonder Ji Yinfeng suspected Xin Zhi.
She could barely be regarded as a noble daughter of the Wei State, and Huan Ji was a noble son of the Wei State. The two must have met before.
Huan Ji sneaked into Ji Yinfeng's side and even accompanied him to the imperial mausoleum, which shows that the relationship between the two is very close.
Although Xin Zhi is a housewife, she should have met "Qiao Jia" before.
But not only did she not reveal his identity, I am afraid she also provided him with some important information, which led to the assassination of Emperor Ji'an.
I have to say that that woman Xin Zhi is quite capable, and she was able to escape from Ji Yinfeng's hands.
Zhuge Yue was still thinking about Wei Congyun and did not want to continue talking about these things.
"Xin Luo, do you know Wei Congyun?" he asked suddenly.
Xin Luo shook her head: "I have never heard of this name."
Zhuge Yue saw that she didn't seem to be lying, so he asked again: "Then have you heard of Wei Yang?"
Xin Zhi still shook her head: "Why are they all named Wei? I don't know any of them."
Zhuge Yue slapped himself on the mouth.
He was really confused.
How old is Xin Luo? King Yong has a distinguished status, and she was less than one year old when he was "executed" for his rebellion. How could she possibly know his name?
"Wei Yang is the former Yongwang of the Wei Kingdom. You must have heard of it this time, right?"
"Prince Yong..." Xin Luo glanced at him guiltily.
For everyone in the Xin family, King Yong is like a nightmare.
If it weren't for his involvement, why would the Xin family be expelled from the capital, and why would their sisters grow up in a small place and be looked down upon by the noble ladies in the capital?
If it weren't for him, His Majesty would not have given her and her sister to the royal children of other countries.
Of course, there are certain things you should never tell others.
Zhuge Yue asked: "What happened to King Yong?"
Xin Luo pursed her lips: "Didn't Prince Yong die eighteen years ago? Why did the prince suddenly mention him?"
Zhuge Yue did not intend to beat around the bush and said directly: "Back then, he faked his death. The Wei Congyun I just mentioned is his son, and now he is the young master of Congyun Villa."
Xin Luo knew that King Yong was not dead, but she had to pretend to be surprised.
Her eyes opened wider, she covered her mouth and said, "He's still alive?!"
Zhuge Yue said: "Not only is King Yong alive, he has been struggling all these years.
The third son of the Huan family, Huan Ji, whom you just mentioned, is now leading an army with his brother Huan Yu to pursue King Yong."
These words set off a storm in Xin Luo's heart.
The Second Young Master Huan is Xiao Bi's husband-in-law, and is his brother-in-law with Your Majesty. He is someone the sisters cannot afford to offend.
But if King Yong falls into his hands, will His Majesty...
But Zhuge Yue said again: "I didn't mention Wei Congyun on purpose just now, but because he is in our house now."
Xin Luo was startled again.
"Your Majesty, please drive him away quickly. Prince Yong's identity is too sensitive and cannot be messed with."
Zhuge Yue's eyes flashed slightly.
Regardless of whether this woman is careful or not, these few words alone cannot be used to treat her as a fool.
He took her hand again and said warmly: "I don't want to cause trouble, but Wei Congyun came to see you today."
Xin Luo was furious.
"The prince must trust me, I really don't know him."
Zhuge Yue smiled and said: "I believe you, but he is already here. We must find out his purpose."
"Your Majesty, do you want me to meet him?"
"It doesn't hurt to meet him once. If he comes with bad intentions, we can deal with him in time."
Xin Luo thought for a while: "Okay, I will listen to you."
Zhuge Yue smiled and said: "I have made an appointment with him. I will have someone pick you up in three days."
On normal days, Xin Luo might still have the intention to keep him.
Today, she was in a hurry to see Xin Zhi. After a few perfunctory words, she stood up.
It was still early, and Zhuge Yue did not intend to spend half a day here.
He smiled and said: "I still have things to deal with, so I'd better meet you sister another day."
"Yes, I would like to send you to the prince." Xin Luo blessed her and sent him out of the main room.
Zhuge Yue's figure disappeared at the courtyard gate, and she hurriedly picked up her skirt and ran to Xin Zhi's room.
Xin Zhi was walking around the house. When she saw her coming, she quickly told Song Ju: "Go and guard outside the house. If there is no serious matter, no one is allowed to come near."
Ju Song responded and retreated.
Xin Luo grabbed Xin Zhi's arm and panted: "Sister, I'm afraid we are in trouble!"
Xin Zhi pulled her to sit down at the round table and said warmly: "Don't be anxious, speak slowly if you have anything to say."
"Today, a man named Wei Congyun came to the palace and wanted to see me by name."
"Wei Congyun?!" Xin Zhi was also surprised.
After following Ji Yinfeng for nearly two years, she has certainly heard of this name.
And she remembered very clearly that in the days before Emperor Ji'an was assassinated, Wei Congyun had been following Ji Yinzhu.
If the person who gained power at that time was Ji Yinfeng, he would have been taken as an assassin long ago.
Xin Luo nodded solemnly: "That's him. Sister, did you know that he is actually the son of King Yong..."
This was the first time Xin Zhi heard about this, and she was completely frightened.
"Did King Wudu tell you this?"
Xin Luo repeated what Zhuge Yue said just now; again.
"...Sister, what did you want Wei Congyun to do when he came to me?"
Xin Zhi said in a deep voice: "He came to you, of course it was ordered by King Yong.
Didn't you just say that their father and son are being hunted down by the Huan brothers and their troops, and Wei Congyun must have escaped."
