Huai En sucked in a breath of cold air and said with a trembling voice, "More than a hundred people, that … "So you're saying, one against seventy?"
"That's right. How can I be at ease if a group of Camping's people fall into the hands of another? Moreover … Imperial Mother doesn't know whether these hundred plus people are all from Camping or just a part of it. "
Hearing this, Huai En also broke out in a cold sweat, and said with a trembling voice: "If it's only a part of it, then isn't an army of tens of thousands of miles nothing in front of the Camping?" Although a troop of ten thousand soldiers was nothing to the entire Dazhou, it was still very scary.
"A group like this would be of great benefit to us, otherwise …" "It's just a big problem." Dong Fang Hui's gaze was dark and cold, like a poisonous snake that was resting in the grass, ready to swallow a person at any moment.
"Your Majesty is right." Huai En repeatedly nodded his head. After what he had said just now, he absolutely did not dare to underestimate Camping.
"Huai En." Dong Fang Hui's gaze suddenly swept over him, "Could you also be a The people of the god's camp?"
Huai En was so scared by his words that his face turned white, he kneeled down in panic, "Unjustly accused, Your Majesty unjustly accused, how could this old servant be The people of the god's camp? This old servant has nothing to do with Camping at all, please enlighten me Your Majesty! Clear judgement! " He kept on kowtowing as he cried out injustice. This was a heinous crime. He would lose a layer of skin even if he was touched by a bit of it. How could he not be afraid?
A hint of relief flashed across Dong Fang Hui's eyes, and he immediately said: "We were just joking, you're being so realistic, scaring me to such an extent, hurry up and get up."
Huai En stood up gracefully, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, and spoke with lingering fear: "The joke of the Your Majesty is really too big, it scared this old servant half his life away."
"You, ah, even being a side character is good. You are just a coward." Dong Fang Hui laughed: "We have known you for more than a year or two. What kind of person are you, is it not clear to us?"
forced a smile and did not dare to speak. Accompanying a tiger like monarch was something that Dong Fang Hui was saying now, but no one knew what he was thinking. In terms of suspicion, the current monarch in front of him was even better than the Emperor Cheng back then.
In that case, Dong Fang Hui's words still continued, "But come to think of it, perhaps … There really is a The people of the god's camp lurking within the Zhaoming Palace. "
Huai En raised his grey and white brows, and said in shock: "Your Majesty is saying, they're disguised as palace maids or eunuchs?"
After receiving Dong Fang Hui's affirmative answer, Huai En's old face wrinkled into a bundle. The wrinkles intertwined and intermixed with each other, making him look even older than before. "Everyone who goes to the palace to work needs to know their background, so they should … It's not enough to get mixed up in it by the The people of the god's camp. " Huai En was a little unconfident in his words. After all, it was not impossible for the top three thousand palace maids and eunuchs to be bribed into sneaking in one or two people of unknown origins.
Seeing that Dong Fang Hui was silent, Huai En knew that he was not satisfied with what he had said and said: "Your Majesty, the yearly examination is about to arrive. Why not take this opportunity and send people to check on them?"
Hearing these words, Dong Fang Hui's face looked much better, "Then do as you say. Remember, investigate carefully, especially the people who serve in Chengde Hall."
"Understood!" After Huai En agreed, Dong Fang Hui suddenly said, "Do you really think that Camping wouldn't be in the hands of Old Seven?"
Huai En lowered his eyes and said: "It's not that this old servant thinks so, but rather that the late emperor simply has no reason to send such an important Camping over to a prince that he doesn't even bother to meet. Maybe the Chu Di does not care about Xuan Ji as much as he thinks. "
"No way!" Dong Fang Hui rejected without hesitation, causing Huai En to be confused: "Why is Your Majesty so sure?"
Dong Fang Hui stood up, walked back to the imperial examination table, and casually flipped through a imperial report. "I ask you, four years ago, have you heard of Xiao Ruo Ao's name?"
Huai En thought back to a moment, then shook his head and said, "Emperor Zhou was silent and nameless back then, and was just an ordinary prince, this old servant has never heard of him."
Xiao Ruo Ao's birth mother was not that born, and in the past twenty years, Emperor Qing did not like her. However, in a short span of two to three years, the crown prince and his favorite princes were defeated by her, don't you think that's strange? As the ruler of the strongest nation on the continent, Dong Fang Hui had always paid attention to the political situation of the other nations. Without question, Xiao Ruo Ao was the biggest dark horse in the recent years.
Huai En thought about it for a while, and said: "Being told by Your Majesty, it's true, it seems like this Emperor Zhou is quite capable."
A clear and cold smile surfaced on the corner of Dong Fang Hui's mouth, "Perhaps the person who is truly capable isn't him. Think about it, when did Xiao Ruo Ao's transformation begin?
Huai En counted with his thumb, "If this old servant remembers correctly, about three or four years ago, at that time …" Halfway through his words, his relaxed eyes suddenly twitched, and he blurted out: "Could it be related to?"
"The year before the wedding was mediocre, and the year after that was rapid progress. I won't believe it no matter what you say."
Huai En hesitated and said: "Princess Xuan Ji is the famous one, and indeed everyone knows about her. But she is still a woman after all, even if he knows how to recite poems and write poems, it has nothing to do with the fight for the throne."
Dong Fang Hui said indifferently: "What if Xuan Ji's talent does not only extend to zither, chess, calligraphy, poetry, or poetry?"
"Then everything makes sense." After saying that, Huai En said softly: "Your Majesty wants to rope her in?"
"If she really has the ability to point out the world, then we have no reason to let her go. Although the Dazhou is flourishing, with powerful enemies surrounding us, it will not be easy to walk a peaceful path."
Huai En nodded his head in deep agreement. When the Emperor Cheng was still alive, she was also very ambitious, but even until his death, she had not been able to break the six-nation situation. On the contrary, the weaker West Chu took the opportunity to swallow the Nanzhao and expand their influence.
"We have already told Seventh Brother to bring Xuan Ji to the palace during Mother's birthday banquet. At that time, we will know if she is real or fake."
Huai En said in a soft voice, "I heard that Xuan Ji is not only talented, her looks are also peerlessly beautiful. Any woman who stands by her side would become a pinkie, and I have never heard of her true or false.
Dong Fang Hui glanced at him, "What, you think that your family is that bad?" Huai En was deeply favored by the Emperor Cheng, not only did she bestow this mansion from outside, she had even bestowed this favor to his palace maids to eat with him. Although they could not be a real couple, they could still be considered as a form of comfort.
