The prince looked at Xu Changsheng, and after a while, he swept away the cold color on his face and smiled instead.

"What is Mr. Xu doing in such a panic, although Dongfang Shuo was recommended by you, this palace doesn't intend to blame you. ”

At this point, the prince reached out and picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xu Changsheng, "I have been taken care of by Mr. Xu since I was a child, and you have taught me a lot of principles of life, and you are also kind to me." Even if there is a mistake, even if it is a personal abuse of power, or even a rebellion, I will not blame Mr. Xu. Drink tea. ”

Looking at the teacup handed to him, the tea swayed in the cup, and Xu Changsheng's eyes immediately revealed a look of horror.

He looked stunned, stepped back a little, and fell straight to his knees.

Sensing the movement here, the little eunuch who His Highness was kneeling down was even more trembling.

Even the chief steward knelt down, I'm afraid this matter is too big.

"The old slave is ordered by the emperor, and he must follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and assist His Royal Highness the Prince. Unless he is about to die, he will not have a disobedience to His Royal Highness the Prince. Betrayal and rebellion will never happen. ”

Xu Changsheng put his forehead on the ground and said hurriedly.

The teacup in the prince's hand was still hanging in the air, untouched.

However, the tea in that cup, under this moment's effort, has returned to calm.

Looking at the back of Xu Changsheng's head, a hint of sharpness flashed in the prince's eyes.

Then, when he put the teacup back on the table, he immediately smiled again and got up to support Xu Changsheng.

"Why did Mr. Xu say this, didn't this palace say that it is not strange, and this palace also believes in Mr. Xu's personality, so naturally he will not doubt Mr. Xu. The prince said while supporting Xu Changsheng.

When Xu Changsheng stood up again, the prince's words were finished.

And Xu Changsheng immediately gave up his hand and thanked him: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind-hearted, and the slave should sacrifice his life to follow." Besides, the old slave also grew up watching His Royal Highness the Prince, and if he really wants to leave, he is still a little reluctant. ”

"The palace is reluctant to be in charge. The prince said.

As soon as the words fell, he sat back in his seat, then picked up the teacup again and handed it to Xu Changsheng.

Xu Changsheng stretched out his hand to take the teacup this time and said, "This is the first time that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has poured tea for the old slave." ”

With that, he drank the tea.

The cultivation of the refining period made him no longer have to be afraid of ordinary poison. Besides, with his identity, the crown prince can't poison him.

"But the chief manager Xu just said that the defection is absolutely impossible?" waited until he had finished his tea before the prince asked.

Xu Changsheng put down the teacup and looked at the prince again.

Unhurried, he replied, "Absolutely impossible." ”

"In that case, since Chief Xu only denied the defection, then in other words, he admitted the abuse of power for personal gain?" the prince asked.

Xu Changsheng, who arched his hands, looked slightly.

After all, this is the person he taught, and even he was put on the table.

Immediately, Manager Xu was still unhurried, and nodded: "Exactly." ”

"Then Mr. Xu is talking about it, where does the private come from?"

"The old slave is already old, and he is afraid that no one will inherit the mantle of the old slave in a hundred years, so he looks for materials that can be made. ”

"So, I found Dongfang Shuo?"

Everything should have been just a coincidence, but the old slave was very happy when he saw him at the first time, and he didn't expect so much for a while, so he recommended him to the prince. ”

"In this way, Mr. Xu is really old. The previous manager Xu would not have made such a mistake. ”

"The old slave is at fault, please ask the prince to condemn him. ”

"It's not as serious as a crime, after all, it's human nature to cherish your talents, and you have done bad things with good intentions. However, Dongfang Shuo doesn't have to be kept. ”

"Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to keep him to see the aftermath. ”

"He hurt my person, what else is there to say, does Manager Xu think this is a mistake?"

"It's not a possibility. ”

"If he wants to be on the Tiangang list, then this is too accurate, and he actually injured the two of us in a row, and if it is just for ranking, why kill them all like this?"

"Killing them all proves that he is ruthless, and it is also suitable for the battle in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, isn't it?"

At this point in the conversation, the prince paused.

"Well, let them keep. However, this palace does not need to be. Then the prince gave up.

After Xu Changsheng heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at the prince.

The prince noticed his eyes and asked, "What are you looking at me like this?"

"Is the crown prince planning to perfunctory the old slave first, and then send other people to deal with the scourge of Dongfang Shuo?" asked Xu Changsheng.

Hearing this, the prince smiled: "This palace almost forgot, you are the one who grew up watching this palace, and the thoughts of this palace really can't escape the eyes of Manager Xu." ”

The old slave guessed and guessed by luck. Xu Changsheng gave his hand again, and then said, "But the old slave thinks that Dongfang Shuo can't be killed." ”

"Just because you want him to inherit your mantle? The world is as talented as a cloud, if you are interested, this palace will find you, not to mention Dongfang Shuo alone, even if it is ten or hundreds of people who are more talented than him, this palace can also find it for you. The prince said.

Hearing this, Xu Changsheng smiled, but shook his head.

"Although there are many talents in the world, compared with Dongfang Shuo, it still loses a bit of brilliance. ”

"Dongfang Shuo is really as powerful as you say?"

"If you have actually seen his shots, you can appreciate a thing or two. ”

"Manager Xu is great power in the refining period, although he can see it, but with the current cultivation of this palace, I am afraid that he may not be able to see the difference of his Dongfang Shuo. ”

"However, His Royal Highness the Prince, the old slave feels that Dongfang Shuo should not be killed, not because he wants him to inherit the mantle. ”

"And for what?"

"For His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

"For me? ”

"You shouldn't have killed. Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard that ten days later, the Guihai Empire will fight with us?"

"Naturally, I heard about it. ”

"The choice of the alliance is decided by the six princes, and he specifies that one person will fight. ”

"Dongfang Shuo?"

"Not bad. The son of the backer king of the Guihai Empire was killed, and at this juncture, they suddenly launched an alliance against us, what happened?"

"The Emperor of the Guihai Empire is a weak lord, and the killing of the prince of the backer will probably set off a bigger storm than the assassination of the crown prince five years ago. And behind the backer king is a behemoth with the art of Great Yan, Dao Sect, and so on, all of which show that Xie Mingjie's death is related to Longlin City. They set the location of the alliance battle in Longlin City, and it must be for this purpose. ”

"Dongfang Shuo fights, everyone is happy if he wins, if he loses, he can be convicted of the six princes, and it will not be too late to remove Dongfang Shuo at that time. Xu Changsheng said.

The prince was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Doesn't Manager Xu object to me killing him?"

"Since the old slave chose the prince, he naturally wanted to put the prince's will first. ”

Xu Changsheng gave up again.

The prince smiled, but did not give any answer.

Immediately, the prince looked up at the little eunuch kneeling below.

"Let's go down. ”

He said.

As soon as the words fell, the little eunuch immediately set off and quickly left the main hall.

And after the little eunuch left, Xu Changsheng also leaned over again, and then prepared to leave.

But before he could take a few steps, the prince slowly stood up and walked towards him.

Sensing the approaching prince, Xu Changsheng stopped, turned to face the prince again, and bowed his hand.

"I understand Mr. Xu's intentions, but there is still one thing I want to ask Mr. Xu. The prince said.

Manager Xu didn't answer, just quietly waited for the prince to ask.

After a pause, the prince said, "How do you know?"

"What is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asking?"

"The sixth is going to send Dongfang Shuo to fight. ”

"Because of the eyeliner. ”

"Eyeliner?" the prince frowned, "You can't even insert the eyeliner of the main palace, how can you insert the eyeliner on the side of the sixth child?"

"The six princes are in the spiritual realm, and there is only one maid by his side on weekdays, so the old slave's eyeliner is naturally not by the side of the six princes. ”

"Where's that?"

"Next to General Lu. ”

"Who is it?"

"A eunuch. ”

"Eunuch, such a big target, Lu Yanzhang won't be suspicious?"

"General Lu and Dongfang Shuo have a grudge, a few days ago, the eighth prince who happened to be thinking behind closed doors sent a eunuch to communicate with General Lu, and the old slave took the opportunity to steal the beam and change the pillar. ”

"I see, so the news just now also came from General Lu's mouth?"

"Exactly. ”

After understanding the reason, the prince seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, Xu Changsheng raised his head slightly and asked, "Prince, is there anything else?"

"No more. ”

"Then the old slave retired. ”

Immediately, Xu Changsheng left.

And after he left, the prince's face finally showed a little relaxation.

"This old fox really doesn't have any flaws in his body, but at the moment, it shouldn't pose any threat to me. After all, he is loyal to his father, not to his sixth brother. The prince whispered to himself, "I only hope that Dongfang Shuo loses, so that even if he loses a piece of land, this palace can also take the opportunity to eradicate the troublesome guys." ”

And just as he was thinking in his heart, Xu Changsheng, who had left the main hall, paused slightly in the last section of the stairs.

At this time, the little eunuch who walked out of the hall before him hurried to his side.

"Go and tell Dongfang Shuo, but when you do things, you have to think about the consequences, the two people he has dealt with are the prince's people, if there is a next step, don't continue. Xu Changsheng said.

"Yes. ”

The little eunuch replied and set off immediately.

And Xu Changsheng turned his head and looked in the direction of the main hall.

"Prince, although you have some imperial means, but unfortunately it is too utilitarian and too short-sighted, and I am afraid it may not be a good thing in the long run. Xu Changsheng muttered, "As the eldest son of the emperor, the position of the crown prince may be the most suitable for you." But for the position of emperor, you are by no means the most suitable one. ”

So, he left.

And at this time, Dongfang Shuo's yard.

"Who made the bet when you found the extra money out of thin air?" Dongfang Shuo asked Xia Chunxiao, who came to the courtyard.

Xia Chunxiao nodded: "There are five people in total, and they know each other." However, the foundation is very clean, and it should just be too thoughtful. ”

"With careful thoughts, they snatched nearly 50,000 spirit crystals from my hands. Dongfang Shuo frowned.

And Xia Chunxiao said: "Fifty thousand spirit crystals, compared to your harvest, is not much. ”

"It's not much, but it's my failure. After Dongfang Shuo paused, he took out the ring, handed it to Xia Chunxiao, and said, "You can find one of the five of them at random, and then inadvertently leak the news that I will lose the next game to him." The 50,000 spirit crystals in this ring were given to him as a hush money. ”

"What do you mean?" Xia Chunxiao was puzzled.

"Then, quietly telling the other four people that he took my hush money. ”

"What the hell are you going to do?" Xia Chunxiao was still puzzled.

The corners of Dongfang Shuo's mouth hooked: "Of course, I want them to spit out all the food they ate from me." ”

Looking at his face like this, Xia Chunxiao looked stunned, but he didn't say much.

Tuk-tuk.

The courtyard door rang.

Dongfang Shuo looked at Xia Chunxiao and then set off to open the door.

Outside the door, there stood a eunuch.
