The hairy crab was indeed hard-won, it was sent to Jinling from Hangzhou Express, Liu Xun originally wanted to send this to Dingwang's Mansion, but he thought of offending Xie Fu because of his relationship with Xie Yue, and he always wanted to find an opportunity to save the relationship.

Taking advantage of the misunderstanding with Xie Yue during the day today, Liu Xun struck while the iron was hot and made an appointment to send a basket of hairy crabs in the house over, but he didn't expect Ji Yao to be jealous at this time.
"Why are you so nervous? I'm just kidding. Ji Yao saw that Liu Xun's brows were about to wrinkle together, so he had to smile lightly, and Gu Zi walked in the direction of his study.
Liu Xun followed closely and said softly: "If you want to eat, I will ask someone to get some more tomorrow, this crab is my atonement to Xie Fu, so ......"
"You will give this as a gift of atonement? I'm not afraid that people will see the jokes, wouldn't it be better for you to pick two random ones from me than this hairy crab?"
Ji Yao actually didn't want to eat hairy crabs, but when he saw that he was making excuses, he was a little displeased, and entered the study with him unhurriedly, turned around and carefully closed the door.
"I have something I want you to help me with. ”
When he turned around again, the jealousy and annoyance on Ji Yao's face had long since disappeared, replaced by a very serious look, and there was even more anxiety in his words that could not be ignored.
Liu Xun also became nervous, and hurriedly said, "You say." ”
"The crown prince wants to accept me as the crown princess, the queen will be afraid that she has already asked the emperor to marry, it is very likely that I can't shirk this marriage. ”
Ji Yao stared at Liu Xun tightly, seeing that his face was first shocked and then calm, he slowly sat down with the armrest of the Taishi chair, and was silent for a long time without making a sound.
"I said I was going to marry the prince, why didn't you react at all?!"
"Calm down, don't you think this is very strange? Why is the prince in such a hurry to find a candidate for the crown princess, there must be some ulterior secrets in this. Liu Xun frowned and looked at the celadon vase by the windowsill, his eyes full of doubts.
Ji Yao looked him up and down carefully, and made sure that he really didn't know, so he sighed and sat down: "Even my eldest brother knows about this, how can you not know?
"How could it be? If His Royal Highness Dingwang has any movement, he has always discussed with me at the first time, and I really haven't heard of this matter from His Royal Highness Dingwang, but maybe the matter happened too quickly, and I was not in the palace at the time, so His Royal Highness Dingwang didn't have time to inform me. ”
Liu Xun's eyes tightened, the look in his eyes was extremely complicated, but he still excused King Ding, Ji Yao couldn't help but pierce him when he heard this: "The prince is anxious to find the crown princess because Shen Qingzhi plans to marry his son, and he wants to ask the emperor to give me to Shen Gongzi, this incident didn't just happen today, don't you know?"
"I don't know......" Liu Xun couldn't calm down anymore, he got up suddenly, his cold eyebrows were tightly screwed together, he could guess the reason why King Ding did this, it was nothing more than hoping to break off the relationship between himself and Ji Yao, so that he could retract and work hard from now on.
"How can I let the Shen family in the East Palace fight?" Ji Yao said and glanced at Liu Xun and reminded, "Since the Shen family wants to marry me, it must be because I have what they want. I don't have any dealings with the Shen family in the future, and this time may also be an opportunity to get acquainted......"
When Liu Xun heard this, he looked at Ji Yao in disbelief and said, "You mean you want to marry into the Shen family?"
"Naturally not, is it my Chang Jiyao that his Shen family wants? Speaking of which, it is not the money of the Chang family, there are many ways to reach cooperation, getting married is just a strategy, I will never take this road. When Ji Yao said this, he had a calm expression on his face, and he was very unimpressed.
Liu Xun felt a trace of conceit from her expression, and couldn't help but worry in his heart: "Ji Yao, the East Palace and the Shen family are not good people, what are you going to do if you play with them in power? This is too dangerous, you beware of playing with fire and setting yourself on fire, besides, I remember that you never said anything about supporting His Royal Highness King Ding." ”
Ji Yao blinked when he heard this, stared at him tightly and said, "Why should I help King Ding seize this country? From beginning to end, you are the only person I want to support!"
"What!" Liu Xun only thought she was joking at first, but after a closer look, she found that her face was full of seriousness, and she couldn't help but press her shoulders in fright, and her face was even more cautious than ever, "This is impossible, I never thought of sitting on the throne, and I will never betray His Royal Highness King Ding, in this case, you are not allowed to say half a word in front of me for the second time in front of me in the future, nor are you allowed to say half a word outside." ”
"Why? He Dingwang has the ability to sit on the throne, but you don't? You all say how talented and moral the Dingwang is, and I think that's just the case! Deliberately calculating his own brothers and calculating the emperor, in the end, he covets that boundless power. ”
Ji Yao didn't take his words to heart at all, she was not willing to give everything for an irrelevant person, no matter how talented and ambitious this person was in everyone's mouth.
She only has countless plans in her mind at the moment to deal with the East Palace, and how to make Liu Xun ascend to the throne naturally, and she can't control and doesn't want to care about other people.
"Ji Yao, His Royal Highness King Ding, he ......"
Liu Xun had just spoken, and Ji Yao couldn't help but cut off his words: "Actually, what I'm most worried about is that after King Ding ascends to the throne, you, as a henchman who is directly involved in plotting his rebellion, do you think this cautious and ruthless King Ding will give you the opportunity to live in retirement? You will only be like the crown prince, and you will become his stepping stone to the throne!"
"Even if there is a day when King Ding is killed completely, I will never betray him at this moment! To put it bluntly, if King Ding fails to seize the throne, then the person who competes for the throne will never be me, let's discuss the matter of this crown princess. ”
Liu Xun suddenly turned sideways, his hands behind his back, the fortitude and determination on his face looked at Ji Yao stunned for a moment, and after being silent for a moment, Ji Yao decided to temporarily suppress this matter: "As the right-hand man of King Ding, it is not difficult to find out many things, I believe you will definitely be able to find out the purpose of Shen Qingzhi's behavior." But you must check quietly, and you must not let King Ding find out. ”
Liu Xun understood what she meant, but she also heard her faint hostility towards King Ding, and knew that this was the most appropriate way at this time, so she immediately responded cheerfully: "Okay, I know." ”
Ji Yao nodded, her eyes tightened as if she was planning something, Liu Xun took a step closer to her, looked at her bright but sharp eyes seriously, and said, "But you also have to promise me one thing." You can't get any closer to that Zhu Shang, you don't know who he is or who he is, it's too dangerous!"
"I know, he told me everything, I understand his desire for revenge, he wants to deal with the crown prince, and he won't affect me. Don't worry, I'm not stupid, once I find out that something is wrong, I will run away immediately. Ji Yao knew that he hadn't liked Zhu Shang very much, but he didn't want to agree perfunctorily, so he assured him very seriously.
Liu Xun looked at the weak woman in front of him with a face full of ideas, and his heart suddenly felt a little distressed, but more of a little uneasy, he didn't know what Ji Yao wanted to do, but he vaguely realized that Jinling, which had been quiet for too long, was about to usher in a storm, and all the monarchs who participated in the seizure of power would be spared.
