My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 279 Playing on occasion ([-])

Qin He, who was waiting outside the door to "eavesdrop" on the secrets of Concubine De Gui and Prince Qi's mother and son, raised his head and looked at the sky speechlessly.

Although the King of Qi made a mistake, he was indeed avenged for himself by the King of Wei who framed him before.

The case was solved inexplicably, and it was solved very unexpectedly and easily.

But Qin He couldn't laugh at all. He only felt his head hurt more.

The so-called "Assassination of King Qi" turned out to be just a ploy directed and staged by the other party.

How can he tell His Majesty such a truth?
Concubine De Gui and Prince Qi's mother and son committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. If he told the truth, he would offend Prince Qi's palace, and His Majesty would not be happy.

Therefore, Qin He would only treat this matter as unaware. He did not want to cause unnecessary trouble for himself and the Qin family, and he would not become the gun in the hands of the King of Qi or the King of Wei.

Since His Majesty asked him to investigate carefully, then he would "investigate carefully". Anyway, the investigation will be fruitless in the end.

Even if he was scolded by His Majesty for his incompetence, he would never get involved in a dispute over the heir apparent.

The mother and son in the room were still whispering, discussing how to guide Qin He to pin the crime on King Wei, but they didn't know that all the secrets they thought they had fell into the mind of Qin He, a hundred meters away.

Knowing that King Qi really wanted to use him as a spearman against King Wei, Qin He's lips curled into a sneer.

He suddenly had a good idea, let the king of Qi and the king of Wei fight against each other.In this way, they would have no time to deal with this innocent passer-by.

Yes!Qin He decided to show his kindness and tell the two parties respectively the truth about Tong Guan's case that King Qi was secretly plotted and framed by King Wei, and the fact that King Qi's assassination was self-directed and acted but framed King Wei.

Let them fight to the death, His Majesty will come out to clean up the mess in the end.

For the act of harming the two princes, Qin He didn't feel the slightest burden in his heart. Whoever made him unhappy would make the other party unhappy too.

Reciprocity of courtesy is what a decent person should have.

Qin He and several of his entourages waited outside the door for almost two hours. During this period, King Qi ate, drank medicine, and took a nap. Only then did he finally think of Xiao Xiao who was still waiting outside the door. Yiwei.

Halfway through, Concubine De Gui came out, told the guards guarding the door a few words, and then left.

And seeing the sun getting higher, Qin He silently made a note for King Qi in his heart. "Master Qin, I've been waiting for a long time. Your Majesty has invited me."

Just when Qin He's patience ran out, a servant from the palace finally opened the door and invited him in.

Qin He smiled in vain, put on a mask of gentleness, and brought his entourage to meet King Qi again as if nothing had happened.

"Master Qin, I'm really sorry. I was a little exhausted and fell asleep. I kept you waiting for so long."

King Qi was still leaning on the pillow "half dead" and said apologetically.

"Your Majesty is serious, everything is about your body. If it is convenient for you now, then I will start asking questions."

Qin He smiled calmly, making it impossible to see his true emotions.

"Master Qin, please help yourself. I will tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything I want to say."

King Qi's attitude was very kind.

"Then there will be Lord Lao."

Qin He made a look and signaled the two deputies to start taking notes.

"Please also ask the prince to explain the entire assassination process to the official in detail, so that the official can find clues."

Knowing that the other party was acting, Qin He was happy to cooperate and just went through the process. Anyway, questioning the parties involved was unavoidable.

"Last night, I was in the study room discussing government affairs with several staff. About half past midnight, the leader of the guards came and knocked on the door. He said that he found two murdered patrolling guards under the south wall, and he suspected that an assassin had sneaked in. In the mansion, they want to do harm to me. Just when I want to move to the secret room for safety, it is already too late."

King Qi showed an expression of reminiscence and recounted the scene when the incident happened: "The assassins who descended from the sky from nowhere suddenly started fighting with the guards outside the door. There were two or three gods among them. The archer was very skilled, and he shot three of my staff to death with just a few arrows. Even with the protection of the guards, I still couldn't escape the flying arrows when I was dodging. After being pierced by an arrow in the chest, I could only I felt the severe pain was unbearable, my vision went black for a while, and I fell into a coma, and I don’t know what happened next.”

Qin He listened to the other party's words with concentration, and took over the conversation very naturally, "I have asked the surviving staff and guards about the follow-up matters. Since the prince was hit by the arrow, those assassins felt that they had succeeded. He stopped entangled and quickly fled out of the mansion. In addition to the corpses of the assassins left in your mansion, the official later led the Xiao Yiwei to arrest several more alive. Unfortunately, they failed in the end and could not get rid of the assassins. Mouth for any clues available."

After saying that, he pretended to sigh.
