Chapter 296 The curtain is about to open

"It's just that you are stupid, and I just guessed it before you did, so why should I show you anything!"

Ximen Chuixue's words made Lu Xiaofeng and Zhu Xiao stunned for a while, not because of Ximen Chuixue's words, but because they had known Ximen Chuixue for such a long time. It was the first time they saw Ximen Chuixue say such words in one breath, which completely overturned the two of them. The impression of Ximen Chuixue in my heart.

Ximen Chuixue looked at the two people who were stunned, a little confused, but he didn't go into details and just stared at Lu Xiaofeng calmly.

Lu Xiaofeng drank a glass of wine depressedly. She did not expect that she would be surpassed by Ximen Chuixue in what she was good at. She was just too surprised at the time, which caused her brain to be too tense. The simple answer is in your heart.

Zhu Xiao looked at the deflated Lu Xiaofeng and smiled a little unkindly. Worried about being seen by Lu Xiaofeng, he quickly lowered his head to avoid Lu Xiaofeng's sight, like a fox that stole a chicken.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. I came here mainly to know whether you are sure about this sword competition?"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Ximen Chuixue with a solemn expression. He had seen Ye Gucheng's flying fairy before. He was indeed unparalleled and flawless in the world. He had no confidence in taking this sword.

"I haven't compared it, I don't know!"

Ximen Chuixue is not a person who likes to brag. He is not blindly optimistic about the decisive battle with Ye Gucheng. He just tells the truth. Swordsmen speak with their swords. The living win and the dead lose. It is so simple and crude, and he never uses his words. .

"I understand!" Lu Xiaofeng knew that Ximen Chuixue's words were from the bottom of his heart and were not adulterated.

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly turned to look at Zhu Xiao and asked again, "I didn't expect to meet you here!"

"I've always had a doubt about this decisive battle. Ye Gucheng had nothing to do with Ximen Chuixue before, so why did he suddenly want to fight Ximen Chuixue, and also at such a special place in the Forbidden City?"

Lu Xiaofeng thought of everything she had encountered in the capital recently, and it seemed as if there was a fog blocking her eyes, making it difficult to see the truth of the matter.

He also thought of the dead Dazhi Datong, Gongsun Aunt and others, as if someone had been hiding the truth, so that he always failed to succeed.

"You have mentioned Ye Gucheng's appointment with Ximen Chuixue before. I think you should know the inside story of this decisive battle!"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Zhu Xiao with certainty. The intuition in his heart told him that Zhu Xiao must know the whole story clearly, otherwise he would not have run from Huashan to the capital.

"Sometimes I really admire your thinking. Indeed, Ye Gucheng's date with Ximen Chuixue has another purpose, and I know his purpose very well!"

Zhu Xiao was unhurried and very leisurely. He didn't take Nanping King's plan to heart. In fact, the presence of Zhu Wuwu in the court showed that King Nanping's civet cat to replace the prince plan would be difficult to succeed, even if it succeeded. , it was just a wedding dress for Zhu Wuwu. Zhu Wuwu would not just watch others take over the throne.

Zhu Xiao frowned and couldn't help but think deeply. It was really possible that Zhu Mingli could add fuel to the flames and help Prince Nanping ascend to the throne, and then expose Prince Nanping's true face to get the throne easily without damaging his own. reputation.

"Things are a little troublesome."

"Originally, Ye Gucheng's appointment with Ximen Chuixue was just to help King Nanping rebel, to attract people's attention, and to sway the tiger away from the mountain!"

Zhu Xiao revealed the original plans of King Nanping and Ye Gucheng.

"But I haven't heard that the Nanping Palace has made any move to mobilize troops. This is no longer the time when the Ming Dynasty was just established. The vassal king does not have many troops in his hands. How can it be successful?"

Lu Xiaofeng was not optimistic about King Nanping and Ye Gucheng's plan, thinking that their move was irrational and an act of lunacy.

"They don't need to mobilize troops, they just need to implement the plan of changing the civet cat for the prince!"

Zhu Xiao nodded and affirmed Lu Xiaofeng's judgment, but Lu Xiaofeng did miss the most important point. He cannot be blamed for this. This is a secret that King Nanping tried his best to hide, and almost no one knew it.

"The raccoon cat exchanged for the prince? Could it be that he used the art of disguise to pretend to be the emperor? But the worshipers in the palace are not vegetarians. How could he be fooled by this method?"

Lu Xiaofeng was really confused. She couldn't figure out the possibility of success of King Nanping and Ye Gucheng's plan.

"no!"

Zhu Xiao shook his head and denied to Lu Xiaofeng. You must know that there are many masters of grooming nowadays, such as Aunt Gongsun and Shangguan Haitang. They are all top-notch disguisers, but they still cannot hide the enshrinement in the palace and want to implement it. It is simply impossible to exchange a civet cat for a prince.

"The world is so big and full of wonders. The Crown Prince of Nanping looks the same as the current emperor. It's hard to tell whether he's real or fake."

"King Nanping has hidden Prince Nanping since he met the emperor. In order to prepare for today, he sent people to teach Prince Nanping to imitate every move of the current emperor. It can be said that he looks and behaves like the same person."

Zhu Xiao sighed with some sympathy. The prince of Nanping was also a tragedy. He had no life of his own since he was a child. He completely copied the life of others. Such a life is really sad.

"I see!"

Only then did Lu Xiaofeng understand the whole story, understand Ye Gucheng's strange behavior, and understand that everything he had encountered recently was involved in a conspiracy.

"Since you know it so well, then His Majesty must also know the truth about this matter!"

Lu Xiaofeng had already guessed Zhu Xiao's purpose of coming to the capital. He must have entered the capital to protect the emperor.

"Yes, I have told him everything!"

Zhu Xiao nodded and pointed his finger at the wine on the table.

"This drink was given by the emperor when he entered the palace this time!"

"It's just that I was a little careless. I forgot that Zhu Wuwu was still watching from the side in the capital. It's absolutely impossible for him to say that he didn't notice at all, so I'm worried that he might add fuel to the flames, help King Nanping realize his plan, and then turn his hand around. Cover your hands like rain, expose the conspiracy, and occupy the throne effortlessly!"

Although Zhu Xiao looks down on Zhu Wuwu's martial arts, he never dares to underestimate his scheming. After all, he is an old fox who has been in charge of government for many years. Although he sometimes has some weaknesses, Zhu Wuwu is definitely a qualified hero. .

"not only that."

Lu Xiaofeng rolled her eyes, made a judgment in her heart, and said to Zhu Xiao.

"Actually, regardless of whether the Prince of Nanping can succeed, Zhu Wuwu can slander the current emperor as a fake, and then kill the emperor. By pushing the blame on Prince Nanping, he can achieve his goal without any effort."

Zhu Xiao nodded in agreement, but although things would have twists and turns, it would not be difficult for Zhu Xiao. This was why Lu Xiaofeng was not very worried. As long as Zhu Xiao was by the emperor's side, no one could hurt him. Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Wuwu's wishful thinking will naturally be difficult to achieve.
