Chapter 139: Who Reigns

"He dared to come to see me!" Yuan Chengcheng reluctantly suppressed his anger and said to Shangguan Jingxuan, "You go back first, and I'll look for you when I go back!" ”

Shangguan Jingxuan nodded, this is their family matter, and it is indeed a little inappropriate for him to be present. He walked out, Yuan Xiao went in, and the two passed by at the door, and they both looked at each other unconsciously. This hurried glance made Shangguan Jingxuan feel an extremely strange feeling in his heart, this Yuan Xiao seemed to have become different, but he couldn't tell where it was.

"Auntie!" Yuan Xiao respectfully knelt on the ground and saluted Yuan Chengcheng. Yuan Chengcheng just snorted coldly, and didn't call him up as usual: "You still dare to come to see me!" ”

"What does Auntie mean by that?" Yuan Xiao looked at Yuan Chengcheng blankly. Yuan Chengcheng glanced at the maidservants and asked them all to go down, leaving Hongchan alone: "Is Yuen Long's death related to you?" ”

"Auntie!" Yuan Xiao shouted with a look of injustice, "Yuen Long is also the great responsibility of Huaguo, and he is my own brother, even if I don't think about the country, it is impossible to kill my own brother by destroying Tianliang!" ”

"It's because you're his own brother that you're the only one who can let him climb onto the ice to skate despite my instructions, and you dare to quibble!" Yuan Qingcheng reprimanded sharply, "I haven't debunked you these days because I don't want Huaguo to make another storm on the cusp of the storm, do you think I don't know what you did?" ”

"Aunt Mingjian, I am a great wronger in this matter!" Yuan Xiao suddenly said, "It must be the prime minister's group, they must be afraid that my brother will succeed my brother so they deliberately spread rumors and frame me!" Auntie, what good is it for me to kill my own brother? The prime minister's power is much greater than ours, even if you support me on the throne, aunt, I may not fight for him, how can I risk my own brother's life to give up the throne to others? ”

Yuan Chengcheng said that he was the murderer of his own brother, but in fact, he completely relied on his usual understanding of Yuen Long, and there was no substantial evidence at hand. But if you think about Yuan Xiao's words carefully, it is not unreasonable, Yuen Long is here, he is barely a behind-the-scenes king, Yuen Long is dead, the power of the prime minister's gang is much stronger than him, what reason does he have to take this risk? Could it really be that I guessed wrong?

Yuan Chengcheng's attitude loosened slightly, Yuan Xiao immediately saw it, his originally somewhat uneasy heart slowly settled down like taking a reassuring pill, he hugged Yuan Chengcheng's feet and said: "Auntie, although the first king opened up this thousand miles of rivers and mountains for Huaguo, but today, the Yuan family is alone in the government and the opposition, only our aunt and nephew are left, if my aunt is suspicious of me again and splits the power of the Yuan family, this Dahua country will not be handed over to people in vain!" ”

Although Yuan Chengcheng is Yuan Xiao's aunt in terms of generation, after all, the blood relationship is far apart, and he is not the average age of Yuen Long, he is an adult man holding himself like this, which makes Yuan Chengcheng embarrassed. Yuan Chengcheng tried to kick him out of his restraints several times, but how could he help how the foot strength of a weak woman could match the arm strength of an adult man. He kept saying that he was thinking about Hua Guo and the Yuan family, and his serious expression did not show the slightest bad intention, and Yuan Chengcheng's awkwardness showed that she was not concentrating on state affairs enough.

"You...... You let me go before you talk well! Yuan Chengcheng finally broke free from him and sat on the spot with a red face.

Yuan Xiao also looked as if he had just realized his gaffe, and his tone was full of panic: "Auntie...... I ......"

"Continue with the topic and move on!" After all, Yuan Chengcheng is a little girl who is less than twenty years old, although the person who was rude just now was Yuan Xiao, but as the party who was eaten tofu, she was too embarrassed to ask him again to question whether his intention was simple, so she could only vaguely bring his rudeness.

"Yes, Auntie." Yuan Xiao's coveting of Yuan Chengcheng is not a matter of one or two days, he almost wanted to get her hands on Yuan Chengcheng from the first time he saw her, there is no shortage of beautiful concubines and enchantresses around him, but in front of Yuan Chengcheng, those women are just vulgar fans, unsightly.

As the so-called peony flower dies, it is also romantic to be a ghost, if he can get Yuan Chengcheng, even if he fights for his life, he is willing. But this rose has grown at the pinnacle of power, and if he wants to get it, he can only climb it by any means. In order to achieve this goal as soon as possible, he can only endure the ** in his heart, and strive to package himself as a loyal minister for the country and the people. He always thought that he had covered it up well, but the impulse just now almost made his hard work for nearly two years go to waste.

He was secretly glad that Yuan Chengcheng was not suspicious of him, but when he looked up, the pair of cold eyes behind Yuan Chengcheng couldn't help but startle him. He instantly realized that this maid named Hongchan had already seen through his tricks.

Yuan Xiao felt that his disguise could deceive everyone, but he alone could not deceive these cold eyes, his ambition, his **, these eyes could see clearly, but he didn't quite understand that Hongchan was obviously Yuan Chengcheng's most loyal confidant, but why did she never completely expose him?

"The princess believes his words?" As soon as Yuan Xiao left, Hongchan asked Yuan Chengcheng almost without any emotion.

"What if you don't believe? What he said makes sense, the Yuan family is the only one left with me and him! Yuan Chengcheng had already guessed that Yuan Xiao might be the real murderer, and she didn't ask because she didn't know what she would do if he was? Killing him is tantamount to giving up the country, and it is difficult to calm the hatred in her heart if she doesn't kill him, so she has been delaying to ask Huangfu Yehan's opinion, but this kind of problem, even Huangfu Yehan is probably difficult to decide!

At first, Yuan Chengcheng only suspected that Yuen Long's death was Yuan Xiao's handiwork, until she asked him today, and listened to him answer the questions fluently, thinking clearly, and logically, as if she had already prepared the answers, she finally determined that it was really him who did it.

"He's not right!" Hongchan said hintly. Yuan Qingcheng was as tired as if he had pressed a mountain on his body, and he no longer had the strength to understand the meaning of her words: "I hope he has the skill to govern the country!" ”

If it was in the past, a person who would kill his own brother, Yuan Chengcheng, would never let him ascend the throne as king, but her father, Huawang Yuan Kejin, was a hero who killed his younger brother and forced his mother to death and made great achievements for Huaguo.

Yuan Xiao's political talent in the replacement of the old and new courtiers made her see the shadow of her father, and Yuan Chengcheng secretly hoped that this man who had countless similarities with his father could bring Huaguo to a new situation, of course, this expectation was to a large extent a helpless choice......
