Chapter 423: Tired of living, calling her an old witch
The moment he heard this, Li Huamin was completely stunned!
It felt like someone hit him hard on the head with a stick!
He was stunned and paused for at least three breaths before he came to his senses.
He stared straight at Zhuge Qingshan in front of him and said, "Sir, you are not joking, are you?"
"Isn't this Han Zhuo from Xuanyuan Country?"
"He's an envoy from Xuanyuan Country and doesn't live in the Honglu Temple. Why would he go to the Third Brother's residence?"
At this time, Zhuge Qingshan was still waving the feather fan in his hand, but he didn't seem to be very calm.
Although he didn't show much expression on his face, his eyebrows were always tightly furrowed.
To be honest, even he himself couldn't figure out what was going on with Han Zhuo! ?
He said to Li Huamin in a calm voice, "Your Highness, Han Zhuo's behavior is truly too strange!"
"Although this person seems reckless, he is actually very scheming and extremely sophisticated in his dealings!"
"Today, he deliberately fought with Your Highness at the city gate. Taking advantage of Your Highness's inattention, he attacked You with all his might, causing You to faint without suffering any serious injuries. This was done to damage Your Highness's reputation!"
"At the same time, he has become very famous in Chang'an City!"
"In the vast city of Chang'an today, there are very few people who don't know Han Zhuo!"
"This was the first trick he pulled when he first arrived in Chang'an!"
When Han Zhuo was mentioned, Zhuge Qingshan's brows furrowed more and more, mainly because Han Zhuo's behavioral logic had completely overturned his cognition.
It's impossible to calculate!
Zhuge Qingshan paused, then added, "Secondly, it's about his relationship with His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
"He moved directly into the residence of His Royal Highness the Third Prince. He sent all the stewards and servants home!"
"This huge mansion is now empty! Therefore, the spies we previously placed in the Third Prince's mansion have also been sent back."
"The only thing that can be made clear is that he and His Royal Highness the Third Prince must have reached some kind of hidden agreement!"
"Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to possess the Third Prince's personal badge!"
When Zhuge Qingshan said this, Li Huamin immediately responded, "You mean, the third brother went to Xuanyuan Kingdom some time ago, not to ask for food, but to collude with them and conspire?!"
Zhuge Qingshan nodded slowly: "That's right!"
"The Third Prince has been in Xuanyuan Country for quite some time now. With his methods, he can definitely get whatever he wants in Xuanyuan Country!"
"I guess he either controls Han Zhuo or is conspiring with him!"
"However, Han Zhuo's purpose in coming to Chang'an is still unknown."
"The most important thing now is to find out the movements of His Royal Highness the Third Prince!"
"After all, His Majesty is critically ill, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince will definitely return to Chang'an, but this time he will definitely return secretly, hiding in the dark!"
"He used the seemingly reckless Han Zhuo as a shield, while he himself hid behind him. Clearly, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has ulterior motives!"
After Zhuge Qingshan's analysis, the raging anger in Li Huamin subsided a lot.
After all, compared to the intention of killing Han Zhuo, seizing the position of crown prince is more important!
Li Huamin asked, "Sir, does this matter have anything to do with the Regent?"
When it comes to Regent Su Lingzhi.
Even Zhuge Qingshan, who had a calm expression, had a slightly changed expression!
In his impression, Su Lingzhi has always been a terrifying woman with great courage and strength!
Although both her own strength and the strength she possessed were completely superior to those of several princes.
But she is a person of another surname after all, and she is a woman!
No matter how strong she is, she will never be able to ascend the throne of the emperor!
Because the Daqian Kingdom has a law - hens cannot crow at dawn! Women cannot be the head of the household!
It is also because of this that Li Huamin and the other princes will actively ignore Su Lingzhi.
Will not list her as his hostile force.
Moreover, everyone will try their best to win over Su Lingzhi.
However, even though Su Lingzhi is the regent and is now in charge of government affairs, these princes did not deliberately try to win over Su Lingzhi because they all knew that Su Lingzhi would never stand on the side of any of them.
Instead, maintain a neutral state from beginning to end.
Let them brothers break through with their own strength, or even fight.
And the one who will eventually become the crown prince must be the strongest among them!
However, a very strange thing happened in recent days. The Regent suddenly disappeared!
No one knows where she went!
Even the old servant who had been with him for decades didn't know where she had gone.
Because of this, many people are now speculating about what happened to Su Lingzhi!
Judging from Su Lingzhi's past performance, she should not have any connection with any prince.
However, Han Zhuo's sudden appearance and the Third Prince's behavior at this time were completely different from his character.
This made Zhuge Qingshan feel an unprecedented sense of crisis!
Li Huamin had obviously guessed this as well. He said to Zhuge Qingshan, "Sir, my mother said you are 'the better Zhuge'. Now is a very critical moment. You must help me!"
Zhuge Qingshan looked at Li Huamin, nodded calmly, and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Although Han Zhuo's behavior is strange, he is only from the small Xuanyuan Kingdom. He is nothing to be afraid of!"
"According to the information sent by the spies, this Han Zhuo is the brother-in-law of the Empress of Xuanyuan Nation, and he's a fool!"
"Because of this, his behavior is completely out of the ordinary, but there are also traces to follow!"
"Now, he has become a huge target. Countless people and countless eyes are staring at him. Everything he does will fall into people's eyes!"
"Therefore, there's no need to focus too much attention on him right now. Just send more people to observe secretly and look for the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
"I believe that once we find His Royal Highness the Third Prince, we should be able to find the Regent as well."
Li Huamin's brain wasn't particularly sharp, so the moment he heard this, he immediately said, "You mean to say that the Queen Regent has teamed up with the Third Brother?"
When Li Huamin said this, his tongue was tied.
He was obviously horrified by this!
Zhuge Qingshan couldn't help but sigh slightly. Li Huamin was a good kid in every way and was obedient, but his brain was a little too simple!
Many things must be told to him clearly and directly.
Otherwise, with his small brain, he probably wouldn't be able to comprehend the mystery at all.
However, for Zhuge Qingshan, an obedient prince is naturally the best!
He did not hide anything, but directly told Li Huamin his analysis.
He said, "Your Highness, in my opinion, the reason why the Regent suddenly disappeared was most likely done by His Royal Highness the Third Prince!"
After hearing this, Li Huamin was shocked!
He said, "This, this is impossible. Even if he had dozens of courage, he wouldn't dare to do this!"
Zhuge Qingshan was very determined in his opinion. He said, "Your Highness, as the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food!"
"We've been pushing the Third Prince so hard lately, so naturally he'll do something stupid, ahem, like, jump over the wall!"
"And your highness may not know, but I also learned a secret from the elders of my sect. That is, the Empress Dowager of Xuanyuan Kingdom is the dreaded Palace Master of the Goddess Palace!"
"And this old witch has an old grudge against the Regent!!"
"It can be said that it is a fight to the death!"
"Therefore, we absolutely have reason to suspect that this old witch conspired with the Third Prince, and that she personally injured and imprisoned the Regent!"
