Chapter 324: Friend and Foe Are Inseparable

"I'm not virtuous, knowledgeable, I'm really sorry for you. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Cheng Jinzhi snorted coldly in his heart silently, raised his eyes and squeezed out a stiff smile towards Yuan Peng.

"His Royal Highness King Heng, are you praising me?"

"Of course it's a compliment, a beautiful woman like the princess, how can this king be willing to deceive?"

Yuan Peng smiled evilly as he spoke, approaching Cheng Jinzhi, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a ridiculous arc.

"After all, His Royal Highness King Yan is a dragon and phoenix among people, and the woman he likes will naturally not be an ordinary person. But how do I feel that Princess Yan seems to have a little misunderstanding and hostility towards me. ”

"It's more than a point, it's a big misunderstanding, a big hostility. ”

Cheng Jinzhi thought about it and turned sideways to avoid Yuan Peng's strange gaze, but her tone was full of far-fetched meaning, so that people knew that she was actually talking back.

"No, how could it be, if there was really any hostility and misunderstanding, I would not be standing here so calmly and talking so much nonsense to His Highness at this moment... So many words. ”

"That's right. Yuan Peng smiled even more when he heard this, "If I can, I still hope to make friends with the princess." ”

"Friend?" Cheng Jinzhi glanced at Yuan Peng disappreciatively, and said without hesitation, "His Royal Highness King Heng has made friends with me, aren't you afraid that Princess Yuan Xi will feel uncomfortable?"

The atmosphere was still in the hazy stage of testing each other, but Cheng Jinzhi suddenly got straight to the point, which made Yuan Peng a little surprised.

"What does the princess mean by that?"

"Your Royal Highness King Heng, everyone understands people, since there are no outsiders now, why do we have to play a one-man show here? Although I still can't figure out what His Royal Highness thinks in his heart, I have long been clear about what Princess Yuanxi thinks in her heart. What kind of words like sisters, supporting each other, it is enough to say to outsiders, even if I want to, the princess must not be willing. ”

Cheng Jinzhi has always been wary of Yuan Peng, but now he can't figure out Yuan Peng's intentions, and he is already in a troubled mood at this time, so he doesn't have the patience to continue to pretend with him here, so he said it bluntly.

"Since Princess Yan is quick to talk and so bold, then I'm embarrassed to talk about it anymore. ”

Yuan Peng smiled, suddenly tightened his pupils, and a treacherous mist floated in the depths of his eyes.

"Don't hide what the princess said, Xi'er told me about the princess's visit to Changyang Palace that day. ”

Cheng Jinzhi was originally trying to find an excuse to be perfunctory and leave as soon as possible, but when he heard Yuan Peng suddenly say this, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

She looked around defensively, and saw that those guests were all enjoying the banquet in the main courtyard, so she looked at Yuan Peng with a tense face.

But she soon realized that since the friendship between the two brothers and sisters was deep, it was reasonable for Princess Yuan Xi to inform Yuan Peng of the matter.

It's just that I don't know what Yuan Peng's purpose is when he mentions it at this time?

"His Royal Highness is the princess's brother, and it is not surprising that the princess will inform her about this. Cheng Jinzhi deliberately pretended to be indifferent, "But... If His Royal Highness King Heng wants to come and be a lobbyist for his sister, then it's better to please. ”

Regarding Cheng Jinzhi's casual attitude, Yuan Peng's eyes turned slightly, and then he said: "You can't say that, whether Princess Yan believes it or not, Xi'er and I sincerely want to help His Royal Highness King Yan." ”

"Sincerely?" Cheng Jinzhi snorted coldly, his eyes full of distrust, "Keep saying sincerity, and then turn around and tell me that there is no free lunch in the world, right?"

"Hahaha, it seems that in Princess Yan's heart, I am already a sinister villain who knows the city well. ”

Yuan Peng stretched his eyebrows and laughed twice, then adjusted his breath and took a step closer towards Cheng Jinzhi, his expression becoming very solemn.

"Actually, I just want the princess to know that the princess is not wronged by doing this. ”

Seeing Cheng Jinzhi staring at him indifferently and not speaking, a trace of smugness flashed in his eyes very quickly, and he seemed to have a little more certainty in his hands.

"Isn't it worth a deal for the princess to exchange her lifelong happiness for the person she loves to reign in the world? After all, in the princess's heart, even if she sacrifices her life for His Royal Highness King Yan, she is willing, right?"

"Reigning in the world?" Cheng Jinzhi's heart trembled when he heard this, and he raised his head and stared at Yuan Peng tightly, "These four words are easy to say, but in all dynasties, how many people have shed blood and died for the throne, and how difficult this road is, His Royal Highness King Heng won't know it, right? Although behind His Highness is the entire Chu State, but this is my Great Zhou, is Your Highness a little too arrogant when he says these words?"

"Please also Princess Yan be calm and listen to me first. ”

"As we all know, the person in front of His Royal Highness King Yan is the crown prince, as long as the prince is divided, the position of the prince will inevitably belong to His Royal Highness King Yan. The disaster relief official silver case that Princess Yan said is indeed very important, but even if we can really testify for His Royal Highness the crown prince, your majesty has always favored this son, and at most he will be empty of power for a while, do you really think that he will abolish the crown prince for this matter, shake the foundation of the imperial court, and cause chaos in the court?"

Yuan Peng said and deliberately paused for a moment, and the undercurrent in the depths of his crystal eyes was turbulent.

"There is a saying that the princess will not know if you move the whole body, right?"

"I don't need you to say that I know that the position of the crown prince is difficult to shake, and it is not an overnight thing. ”

Cheng Jinzhi tightened the muscles in his cheeks, trying to make himself look calm.

"It is difficult to strike a powerful enemy in one blow, and it often takes time to see its results. ”

"What the princess said is very reasonable, but time waits for no one. Yuan Peng raised his head and glanced at the silent night sky, and sighed with a sigh, "Even if the princess and His Royal Highness are still young, some of them can deal with them at an age. But your majesty is no longer young. To put it mildly, this man is old, and many things are inaccurate, in case... Then the crown prince will naturally succeed to the throne, and when the time comes, it will be too late. ”

Yuan Peng pretended to sigh and said, deliberately looking at the brightly lit palace courtyard not far away.

"This famous Yanwang Mansion is about to be in trouble."

Although Yuan Peng's words sound a little alarmist, there is indeed some truth when you think about it.

It's just that to Cheng Jinzhi's surprise, he seems to be much clearer about the court situation and the relationship between the prince and Gao Heng than he imagined.

Cheng Jinzhi even clearly felt that the man in front of him was already a more difficult character to deal with than Princess Yuanxi, who hated him.
