Chapter 69: Liu Jintang's decision
Two days passed peacefully. Chi Xiaoman and Yu Chimu didn't go anywhere, so they were tired of being in the Begonia Garden, and Yu Chimu also repaired the book to his father, telling Xuanyuan Yu that he had come to Yasukuni in order to take away the Tianji Star, so it was necessary for him to stay in the Qilin Villa to deal with it.
The main reason why he did this was to protect Chi Xiaoman, and in addition, to make a reasonable explanation for him to leave the capital suddenly and disrespect etiquette and customs, and to meet Chi Xiaoman before the wedding.
Since the unhappy parting that day, Xuanyuan Yu has not moved, although he lives in Qilin Villa, he has not seen each other again. Chi Xiaoman did not leave the Begonia Garden, and Xuanyuan Yu did not come to the door.
Yu Chimu was very distressed by Chi Xiaoman, although she didn't say it, Zhen Ri smiled and called Xiaolian and Wen Yuhang to play a card called mahjong with him, but he could see that she was very sad.
He can understand the feeling of selling himself for profit, power, or other things that he wants to get and protect, who he trusts and respects.
Xuanyuan Yu is her most trusted brother to the prince, but because she knew that she was a celestial machine, she changed into a person, just like his father back then, the original trust in him was because of a few words from Wei Chihao, because of the words of those princeling ministers, in order to protect the prince's position, and sacrificed him......
He complained that he couldn't protect her, if he could, he really wanted to take her to live in seclusion, but now her identity as a celestial star has become the target of everyone's eyesight, that is, to escape to the ends of the earth, and the emperors of the three kingdoms will also find them.
At the moment he couldn't do anything but brake quietly, which was a very uncomfortable feeling, he felt. The same is true for Chi Xiaoman.
Chi Xiaoman absentmindedly played a card, and Wen Yuhang laughed and pushed the card down. Said: "Hu! Chi Xiaoman! You put the cards to me for the tenth time today." ”
"It's you Hu again, why are you waiting for my cards. I won't wait for someone else!" Chi Xiaoman glared at Wen Yuhang. Although they did not gamble for money, they did bet on "truth or dare", and the winning hand could require the loser to choose either truth or dare to be punished.
She has lost ten times, she is reluctant to take the big risk, God knows what kind of ghost ideas Wen Yuhang's thief and lustful head will come up with, but to be honest, he always asks some embarrassing questions, such as the stupidest thing he has ever done, he has been in love with several men, when he kissed for the first time, what kind of questions he likes about King Huai'an, which makes her want to kill him.
"What can I do, someone else keeps the cards tight. Wen Yuhang asked with a grin, "Hurry up." Truth or dare, huh?"
"Tell me!" Chi Xiao said angrily.
"Why do you think the prince is standing still now?" In the past two days, while playing cards and chatting, he already knew that Xuanyuan Yu's purpose of coming here was not simple, not just to give a congratulatory gift as he had told Mrs. Guan at the beginning.
Chi Xiaoman was stunned for a moment before he said, "Yo, I actually asked about such a serious matter." She thought for a moment, then said, "I think...... He's waiting for an opportunity. A time when Mu and you are not with me. ”
This is the conclusion she has come to after thinking about it carefully today. In the past two days, Wei Chi Mu has stayed with her in the Begonia Garden, she believes that there are people from the Shadow Pavilion guarding the dark place, and there are many disciples in the villa, so they should also be paying attention to the situation in her garden. So it was quite difficult for the prince's brother to take her away.
"Well, that's what I thought, too, and what do you think is the most likely opportunity for him to take advantage of. When?" asked Wen Yuhang.
"It seems that you should have an idea, let's talk about it together!" Chi Xiaoman said with a smile.
"On the way to get married. The three of them said the same answer in unison. They all thought of going together, after all, only the wedding day would be the most chaotic time in Qilin Villa. Then there is the welcoming team on the way to the capital and the day of the family worship, but after entering the capital, there must be a lot of people who watch the excitement. On the contrary, it is difficult for them to start, so it is still most likely to start from leaving Qilin Mountain Villa to entering the capital.
Xiaolian said nervously, "What should I do? Send more people to protect Miss on the road!"
"It's better to distract them by using tricks to distract them by sending more people, otherwise it will be quite disadvantageous to us if several groups of men come together to rob people. Wen Yuhang said calmly.
"Yes, if we can have several palanquins at the same time to confuse them, we can buy them some more time. Listening to Wen Yuhang's words, Wei Chimu immediately thought of a strategy.
Regarding the method that Yu Chimu thought of, Chi Xiaoman's eyes rolled, and he had a more perfect plan, and the thief smiled: "It's better to be like this......
As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Chimu and Wen Yuhang glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but laugh at her thoughts.
They are still too upright, and if they come up with some cunning schemes, they are really inferior to her!

In the study room in the Qiufeng Courtyard, Xuanyuan Yu sat in front of the red sandalwood book case and painted. The ink landscape rendered on rice paper, on the mountains and rocks, the forest trees are supplemented by a faint color of ochre, blue and white, and garcinia cambogia, and a late autumn landscape scene jumps on the paper.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Imperial Physician Liu has arrived!" Outside the study, the eunuch guarding the door said loudly.
Xuanyuan Yu put down his pen and said in a non-serious tone: "Let him in." ”
The little eunuch pushed open the door of the study, and Liu Jintang stepped inside.
"The minister has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is looking for Weichen?" he said to Xuanyuan Yu.
"Have you ever been to Begonia Garden?" asked Xuanyuan Yu casually as he picked up the rice paper and admired his paintings.
"Wechen has never been to Begonia Garden. Liu Jintang said respectfully, but there were some doubts in his heart, and he didn't know why the prince asked about it. Is it doubtful that he will meet with Princess Liuxia in private? Or is he suspicious that he will throw himself on the side of King Huai'an and Princess Liuxia and do something unfavorable to the Shengxing Dynasty?
"You should go to Begonia Garden more often, this palace remembers, you have always had a good relationship with Liuxia before, your master and Liuxia's mother are old friends, right?" Xuanyuan Yu put down the painting, picked up the pen again, dipped it in ink, and said.
Liu Jintang replied with some apprehension: "Yes, but Weichen ......"
"I believe you know what to say and what not to say. Xuanyuan Yu pondered for a while, inscribed a poem on the blank space of the painting, and then said: "Liuxia doesn't trust the palace anymore, but she still trusts you quite a lot." This palace wants you to find a way to drug Liuxia on the day the king of Huai'an marries Liuxia, as long as she is in a coma for a few hours, you should know how much medicine to use, as for what method to use to make her eat what you sent, this palace believes that you have your own way. ”
"Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to kidnap the princess?" Liu Jintang frowned, he knew that the prince's motive for bringing him here this time was not pure.
"Not bad. Xuanyuan Yu glanced at him and said lightly.
"But there must be a lot of people coming in and out of Begonia Garden that day, even if the princess eats what Weichen sent, how can Weichen take it away from Begonia Garden without letting people find out......?" He just didn't want to do it.
Xuanyuan Yu smiled and said: "Naturally, someone will secretly follow you, the human guild in Liuxia's room will let people lead away, you just need to call the person who responds after Liuxia is unconscious, and there will be nothing for you to do later." ”
"Wechen ......"
"You are a courtier of the Shengxing Dynasty, you eat the king's fortune, and bear the king's worries, you don't understand this truth, do you want the Heavenly Machine Star to fall into the hands of the monarch of another country?" Xuanyuan Yu saw his embarrassment, and also knew why he was embarrassed, it was not his own wish to come to this point, but what about sacrificing Liuxia's happiness for the sake of the overall situation?
If she is willing to persuade King Huai'an to return to the Shengxing Dynasty together, maybe he will help them say a few good words in front of their father, but Liuxia is so tough that he has to marry King Huai'an in Yasukuni, then he can't be blamed for not thinking about brother and sister!
"Weichen didn't dare. Liu Jintang replied with his head down.
"You don't dare, but you don't want to do this, do you?" Xuanyuan Yu saw through his thoughts and said coldly.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, with such means, after the princess returns to the Shengxing Dynasty, she may not be willing to devote herself to the dynasty. He was saddened that the crown prince had become so utilitarian, and he was also sorry for Princess Liuxia.
Xuanyuan Yu snorted heavily, "After going back, she can't be willful in everything, as the son and daughter of her father, how can she ignore the interests of my dynasty and flatter him in other dynasties." ”
Liu Jintang hung his head silently, although he didn't think that Princess Liuxia would flatter him as the prince said, let alone that Liuxia would help Yasukuni deal with his motherland because of marrying King Huai'an, but the crown prince, after learning that Princess Liuxia was the star of the heavenly machine, no matter how much he hid it, he couldn't hide his ambition.
"Imperial Physician Liu, don't try to help Liuxia, and don't forget that you are now in the same boat as the palace, if it weren't for the palace to protect you, do you think the emperor would not pursue you and failed to see that it was the fake princess Liuxia who fell into the water and died? Xuanyuan Yu said, and suddenly turned to ask, "Imperial Doctor Liu, do you like Liuxia?"
Liu Jintang was taken aback, and looked at the prince with a pale face. He didn't know how the prince saw it, but now that he said this, what did he want him to do?
"That's true!" Xuanyuan Yu smiled schemingly, and said: "After the matter is completed, return to the Shengxing Dynasty, if you have the heart, this palace can ask your father for a decree and marry Liuxia to you." ”
"Wechen doesn't—"
"But if you deliberately let Liuxia go, don't blame this palace for being ruthless. Xuanyuan Yu interrupted him, narrowed his eyes, stared at him and continued, "I'll leave this matter to you?"
Liu Jintang hated it in his heart, but he had to agree, gritted his teeth, and said ruthlessly: "Weichen takes the order!" (to be continued......)
