I [Imperial] Am Not This Kind of Man: 56. Forcing Liangshan Mountain
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters I am not such a man!
The little prince still hasn't survived this catastrophe.
In the early hours of the next day, this little baby died.
The Queen Mother Huo was almost mad, and killed all the palace servants serving the little prince, and the clues of the golden collar were also pulled up one by one, and she would not give up unless the matter was found out.
From the jewelry workshop that made the collar to the entourage who picked up the goods, all those involved in this matter were taken away by the Criminal Ministry.
Including several people in Qin Nuo's palace who had come into contact with this thing.
No one stopped the anger of Queen Mother Huo. After all, this matter is of great importance. How could the lives of a group of slave craftsmen be worthy of the only heir today?
Seeing that Dongbo and the two eunuchs who were in charge of picking up the goods were taken out by officials of the Criminal Department, Qin Nuo stopped Lin Jia and his party.
"The king was in the palace before, and he has already proven his innocence. I don't know why I have to lock the door again?"
"The prince, please forgive me, and according to the Queen Mother's decree, all relevant people will be locked up for inquiries." Lin Jia said sternly, "and although the prince claims to be innocent, it is hard to guarantee that he is not a criminal."
Qin Nuo glanced at Dongbo and the two little eunuchs: "I dare not say that people around him must be innocent. I only hope that Mrs. Lin will enforce the law impartially, and don't want to wrong the loyal and good people."
"The prince can rest assured, this official will definitely live up to the prince's instructions." Lin Jia arched his hands solemnly, with a serious face that could no longer be serious.
Dongbo beside him was very calm: "The prince can rest assured, as long as I am innocent, you will not be embarrassed by the criminals."
Qin Nuo glared at Lin Jia. What I don't worry about is this smiling fox, who knows what conspiracy and tricks he will do out of it.
He comforted Dongbo: "The orphans will send people to visit you regularly, and it will definitely not make you wronged."
Lin Jia rubbed her nose helplessly. It seemed that her credit with Lord Chun had already gone bankrupt. He smiled and said: "I heard from King Yan before that he has cleared up his suspicions with the prince. Now it seems that King Yan is overly optimistic."
"You don't need to say this kind of falsehood." Qin Nuo scowled and arched his hands. "I hope Master Lin will sort out the case as soon as possible, and the innocent will be innocent."
Lin Jiagan laughed twice and left with someone.

"The prince cares so much about the slaves and maids in Dongbo, don't you worry about yourself? The little prince died, and the prince is now in danger!"
After Dongbo and the others were taken away, Qin Nuo was upset, and when he saw Huo Youjuan again, he couldn't help complaining. Unexpectedly, Huo Youjuan interrupted hurriedly before saying a word, and then said the above sentence.
For the first time, Qin Nuo was shocked when he saw his fiancee look so frustrated and nervous.
I immediately realized that she was probably frightened after hearing about the palace, and worried about herself too much. He quickly comforted: "I know that the situation is not optimistic now, but I have proved innocent in the palace before, this matter should not involve me."
"Is the only thing the prince worried about now? This calculation is frustrated, then next time, next time? The prince has such good luck every time, take precautions, do you not know the prophet?"
Qin Nuo has a headache, and he doesn’t understand. Even if the little prince dies, it is Qin Ze and Qin Xun who are the most hopeful to claim that position. The two of them are the oldest and the mother is noble. Why this So many conspiracies and calculations are all directed at yourself first?
Huo Youjuan sneered, "Because the prince is weak and the easiest to eradicate, the persimmons are squeezing softly. Moreover, the prince is blocked from news and can only see himself. Of course, I feel that the calculations are all aimed at me. Yanzhi How many rounds have been fighting between King Shu and King Yan? Is it the line between life and death."
Qin Nuo felt awe-inspiring, and immediately realized that he was too subjective.
Huo Youjuan pointed out the key with a single sentence. Among the three kings, he is the weakest party, and it is easy to be regarded as the first target. But even if it weren't the case, his own news was behind, and Qin Xun and Qin Ze had no idea about the fight between Qin Xun and Qin Ze.
In fact, in the first weapon smuggling case, I was involved in the cannon fodder between the two. And this time, are there some people who don’t know who they are?
I was thinking about it, and the opposite Huo Youjuan suddenly threw a sentence: "Does the prince intend to win the position?"
Qin Nuo was taken aback for a moment, "Actually, I think the days are quite comfortable now."
"Then, you can change your question. If the prince misses that position, and one of the kings Shu and the king becomes the emperor, how will the prince respond?"
Qin Nuo stopped talking.
Huo Youjuan continued: "The prince said before that King Yan and you are like fire and water. In the future, King Yan will become the throne, and there will be room for relaxation between the prince and him?"
Qin Nuo shook his head. It is absolutely impossible for Qin Ze to ascend the throne! No doubt he will die.
"Then what if King Shu becomes the throne?" Without waiting for Qin Nuo's answer, Huo Youjuan's face showed an ironic smile, "The prince still remembers how King Lai died 20 years ago?"
Qin Nuo instantly understood what she meant. King Lai was found guilty of death because his fiancée was coveted by Emperor Jing Yao, and then Concubine Guo entered the palace and became a concubine.
While Qin Xun’s covetous heart for Huo Youjuan is unknown to others, Qin Nuo knows it well.
"If it's just because of the courtier, it's not unsolvable. Anyway, the courtier and the prince did not formally make a marriage. As long as the prince stops contacting the Huo family, and then chooses another lady to be his wife, he will not repeat the king of Lai. The mistakes of ."
"Miaomiao!" Qin Nuo frowned.
Huo Youjuan looked at him without evasiveness, and continued: "However, if the prince gives up his courtiers, can he be safe?"
"The courtier tells a story for the prince. The Three Kingdoms war was chaotic, and Tian Feng's death."
"Tian Feng's death?" Qin Nuo was surprised.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Tian Feng was Yuan Shao's adviser. Yuan Shao sent troops to defeat Cao Cao. Tian Feng vigorously persuaded him that he should not move troops easily. However, Yuan Shao had made up his mind and threw Tian Feng into prison, and then sent his troops to the Northern Expedition. As a result, he achieved Cao Cao's supreme prestige with his own stupidity. The battle of Guandu has been passed down through the ages. After Yuan Shao's defeat, he fled back to his fief. Not only did he fail to review his mistakes, but to welcome this wise counselor back, but instead beheaded Tian Feng who was in prison.
"The prince actually knew this allusion, but it saved me a lot of tongue." Huo Yousuan laughed, "The human heart is subtle, why Yuan Shao wants to kill is nothing more than the anger of the little chicken belly. The prince is daily and comfortable. What do you think of Wang's heart-to-heart attitude?"
Qin Nuo did not speak.
Huo Youjuan's clear voice continued, and every sentence slammed Qin Nuo's heart and liver viciously: "The prince was in the hot spring palace, and he had seen all kinds of ugliness of flattering against the king and persecuting the clan. However, after that, Shu The king can still communicate with the prince peacefully, knowing his inner jealousy and resentment towards the prince. If the prince and King Shu are equal, this resentment may only be suppressed forever, but once ascended to the throne, King Shu will still Will such an eye-catching person exist?"
Qin Nuo continued to remain silent. He didn't think about these words of Huo Youjuan, but he didn't realize so clearly that the relationship between himself and the two remaining brothers was on the verge of breaking.
Qin Ze ascends the throne, he will undoubtedly die!
Qin Xun ascends the throne, he just can't live!
You can only be the emperor, if you don’t be the emperor, you will die! When did it start, it turned out to be such a situation? God knows, his original goal in life was to be a carefree king who eats, drinks, and has fun!
"If the prince is in the upper ranks, the thirteen princesses will be able to rely on it in the future." Huo Youjuan threw one last bait.
Although Qin Nuo worked hard before, Qin Zhi was determined to be the choice for his relatives, and his name was already included in the credential sent to Beishuo. But the same mother and sister of the emperor, and ordinary princesses, are still different.
"I see! Miao Miao, thank you for your suggestion." Finally, Qin Nuo sighed.
Although not talented, it is time to strive for one. Qin Nuo looked at the bright spring outside the corridor. He actually had a hunch these days, but he just didn't dare to face it. Especially the hope of the little prince was in front of him. Now the only hope was dashed, and he could only catch the ducks on the shelves.
"Then how is the prince going to compete?" Huo Youjuan did not breathe a sigh of relief when Qin Nuo expressed his position, but immediately asked.
Qin Nuo is dumb, even if he wants to compete for that position, he is at the most disadvantaged among the three kings, so he still has to plan carefully how to proceed.
"The prince knows that just yesterday, King Yan asked my Huo family to marry his fifth sister, and his father agreed. Of course, this matter cannot be made public, but there is an agreement between the two parties."
Qin Ze moves so fast! The little prince just died, due to the mood of Queen Mother Huo, it is true that he cannot openly agree to marriage.
Qin Ze and Qin Xun move continuously, how should I respond? Qin Nuo thought hard, and his gaze fell on the woman with bright eyes on the opposite side. Compared to fighting alone, isn't there a ready-made military instructor who can ask for advice? This fiancée is wise and shrewd, and she understands the ruling and the opposition far better than herself.
Qin Nuo bowed his hand and said respectfully: "The military teacher teaches me."
Huo Youjuan's eyes flashed countless contradictions and reluctance. In the end, she firmly said: "Pei Ling has an only daughter. When she is in her boudoir, please ask the prince to go and ask for marriage." The voice trembled and suppressed.
Qin Nuo's bent waist had not had time to straighten up, and the whole person froze in an instant.
What did you say? For a moment, he almost couldn't believe his ears, and even had a thought in his mind. Maybe the girl in front of him had a wind ear, and he heard the conversation between himself and Pei Ling on the lake.
"Because of my relationship, it is difficult for you to fight for the Huo family's position. The most important thing now is Pei Ling's support. Marriage is the best method." Huo Youjuan forced himself to calm down and analyze the pros and cons.
"The prince’s demeanor is superb. As long as you have a little contact, you will know that he is not a stupid person in the legend. More importantly, compared to the countless number of beautiful concubines in Queen Shu’s house, the prince’s house is simple and clean. If I were Pei Ling must also be willing to choose the prince as her son-in-law."
Qin Nuo is silent, he suddenly remembered Pei Ling's suggestion to him. Although the girl in front of her was in the boudoir, she was far more accurate in grasping the affairs of the court than ordinary courtiers.
Huo Youjuan is also suffering in all sorts of ways. After hearing the news of the death of the little prince, she immediately realized that she and her beloved had been driven to extremes, and they would face an unpredictable future.
If the little prince is here, everything is easy to say. As a direct prince, this baby naturally has the most legitimate right of inheritance. Qin Nuo's relationship with Qin Ze and Qin Xun is irrelevant. They are all princes, who is afraid of whom!
But when the little prince died, the situation was completely different. After careful consideration all night, especially after hearing the news that his father agreed to marry the fifth sister Xu to the king, Huo Youjuan could only choose this way.
I felt the eyes of the other side fall on me, full of contradictions and pain.
Huo Youjuan lowered her head, she didn't even dare to look at his eyes. I was afraid that she could not help but shake when she saw it. However, after thinking hard all day and night, with her intellect, what she could think of, This is the best way out for the person in front of you.
Marry Pei Ling's daughter in exchange for the help of Pei's family in the army, so as to get to that position!
"The prince knows that King Shu has been dismissing concubine Ji in recent days. It is obvious what his picture is."
Qin Nuo also knew about this. A while ago, Qin Xun suddenly became self-cultivating, and dozens of beautiful concubines in the mansion were dismissed, which was a small news in the capital.
"Even King Shu has this realization, is the prince still not determined?"
"Miaomiao, I..." Qin Nuo opened his mouth with difficulty, but before he finished speaking, he was blocked.
Huo Youjuan rushed forward, hugged him, and touched her face with her warm lips.
Qin Nuo hugged tightly with his backhand, "No." He whispered, his eyes clear. It was the easiest and most convenient way to obtain Pei Ling's daughter, but he didn't believe that there was only this way.
"Miaomiao, there must be another way out." He hugged her and whispered.
Huo Youjuan's eyes are firm. Only by living can there be a future.
