Chapter 546 Dog and Chicken Jumping Over the Wall
Besides, Chen Er is now a favorite of the Emperor, and Zhao Beixing no longer dares to look at Chen Er with the same eyes as before. He feels that Chen Er has changed a lot. After thinking for a moment, Zhao Beixing said.
"I feel that what the Emperor said makes some sense. If Zhang Xingchen is unwilling to cooperate with us, then we may not get a good result even if we try to win him over."
"On the contrary, it would only make us a laughing stock. It would be better to treat Zhang Xingchen as our common enemy and wipe him out in one fell swoop. Wouldn't that be wonderful?" Zhao Beixing's words made Chen Er burst into laughter.
Chen Er almost laughed until tears streamed down his face. He couldn't help but give Zhao Beixing a thumbs up.
"Zhao Beixing, you're really something. Don't think I don't know what you're really planning. Do you really want to help us get rid of Wei Zhongxian, or do you have some other scheme up your sleeve?"
Chen Er's words were so cold that they seemed to chill the air in the room several degrees.
Upon hearing Chen Er's words, Zhao Beixing looked at the Emperor with a wronged expression and then knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly and do justice for me. My trip to the Jiangnan region was to clear Chen Er's name, but now Chen Er has treated me so badly. I beg Your Majesty to stand up for me."
Zhao Beixing's words immediately put the emperor in a difficult position. In fact, what Zhao Beixing said was not wrong at all. Wasn't Zhao Beixing busy with Chen Er's matter when he went to the Jiangnan area this time?
But why is Chen Er so fixated on Zhao Beixing? Chen Er even believes that Zhao Beixing's actions were premeditated. The Emperor looked at Chen Er with great suspicion, but Chen Er did not avoid the Emperor's gaze.
Their eyes met in mid-air. Although they had only known each other for a short time, they understood each other's personalities very well.
It was as if they had a conversation in mid-air, and the Emperor immediately told Zhao Beixing to get up.
"Zhao Beixing, Chen Er was just joking with you. Don't take it to heart. As for dealing with Zhang Xingchen, let's put that aside for now."
"It would be best to use our abundant resources to win Zhang Xingchen over first," the Emperor suggested helplessly.
This long conversation lasted for a quarter of an hour. When Chen Er returned, he found that Qin Luoshen had already fallen asleep. Chen Er sighed.
Chen Er immediately closed his eyes. He felt that too many things had happened that day, making his head feel like it was about to explode.
Chen Er wasn't sure if his choice was right or wrong. Was helping Zhang Xingchen through his difficulties a good opportunity for Wei Zhongxian?
The next morning, Chen Er got up early. Qin Luoshen had already prepared food for Chen Er. The moment Qin Luoshen saw Chen Er, she rolled her eyes.
"Chen Er, you're really something. People waited for you for so long last night and you still didn't come back. Don't be late again tonight, or I won't let you in."
Although Qin Luoshen spoke quite seriously, anyone who wasn't a fool could tell that she was speaking in a joking tone, which made Chen Er feel extremely embarrassed.
Qin Luoshen was so concerned about herself, afraid that she would suddenly disappear one day, which made her feel very insecure.
Moreover, Qin Luoshen has been in a bad mood lately, all because of her father who pretends to be crazy. Qin Luoshen suddenly thought of something and spoke again.
"Chen Er, you probably have a lot of things to take care of today, so hurry up and go to the morning court session. Don't keep the civil and military officials waiting too long." Qin Luoshen's words relieved Chen Er.
However, Chen Er knew that Qin Luoshen had a knot in her heart, and he had to explain it to her in advance, so he looked at Qin Luoshen very seriously at that time.
"Madam, I have something to say to you. You may think I'm lying, but I can assure God that your father's illness is not because of me."
Chen Er's explanation was actually superfluous. Qin Luoshen was well aware of Qin Zhongting's thoughts. Why didn't Qin Zhongting get involved in the affairs between the Emperor and Wei Zhongxian?
The only thing he could do was pretend to be crazy, and it would be best if he could get Alzheimer's disease in advance. That way, it might not be a bad thing for Qin Zhongting.
After all, the emperor now has some power, and the ongoing struggle between the emperor and Wei Zhongxian is anyone's guess how long it will last.
So now, in order to protect himself, Qin Zhongting knows he should pretend to be crazy. When Qin Luoshen heard Chen Er's words, she burst out laughing.
"Chen Er, you underestimate me. Even if my father really got this dementia because of you, I won't blame you. Alright, stop thinking nonsense and hurry up and go to the morning court."
"Remember to prioritize your safety." Seeing that Qin Luoshen really didn't approve of this, Chen Er smiled and led Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong out.
On the way there, Ma Dazhi looked at Chen Er seriously and said, "Brother, I met with Ma Tiantao again yesterday. This guy told me something, that he would do everything he could to help."
"Persuade me to let the assassin Zhang Tianfei join us. As long as Zhang Tianfei doesn't help Wei Zhongxian, the person who wants to assassinate you probably hasn't even been born yet."
Ma Dazhi's biggest worry right now is that Wei Zhongxian might resort to underhanded tactics and send assassins to kill Chen Er. If that happens, as long as Zhang Tianfei makes a move, Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong will be doomed.
Chen Er was confident he could handle the situation, and fortunately, his martial arts skills were quite good. He hadn't even considered that Zhang Tianfei would come to assassinate him.
If Zhang Tianfei really dares to come, kill him completely. Wei Zhongxian will lose a great general. Let's see how long he can keep jumping around then. Chen Er suddenly thought of something and then looked at Ma Dazhi and gave him an order.
"You'd better have Ma Tiantao steal that handkerchief from Wei Zhongxian when he has time. Don't let this evidence fall into Zhang Xingchen's hands." Chen Er was speaking from the heart.
Chen Er wasn't worried about Wei Zhongxian. He claimed he had killed Yang Xiaoqian, but everything he said depended on his words. However, there was a handkerchief with Ma Dazhi's name written on it.
If it were to fall into Zhang Xingchen's hands, Chen Er was certain that his relationship with Zhang Xingchen would break down.
