Seeing that he was embarrassed, Ren Xiang continued to add firewood: "I know what you think, things must be held in your hands to rest assured, but the timing waits for no one." Do you think, in case the third prince really ascended the throne first, but our secret edict has not yet been delivered to the crown prince, wouldn't this delay the warplane? Is the people of this world going to be in dire straits? Neither you nor I can afford this great sin. ”

The consequences of what he said were really strict, Ye Changsheng was really a little shaken, he was just making the last struggle: "But, but my father said let me get it, what if something goes wrong along the way?" ”

"The teacher said that it was good for you to come and get it, but the main purpose is to let you get this thing with your own hands to confirm that it is safe, and then arrange for a credible person to send it back, so that I can make sure that the person who comes is not a spy." Ren Xiang said sincerely.

"You let me think about it." Ye Changsheng was moved, and after pondering for a while, he finally decided to think about it alone, this was a big deal after all, and he didn't dare to make a rash decision.

The three of them then returned to the inner courtyard the same way, and Ye Changsheng's several scholars and maids had been waiting on the side for a while, and when they saw people coming out, they naturally came over happily, chattering about this and that.

"You guys play by yourself first, I have something to think about." Ye Changsheng had something on his mind, and he was not in the mood to play with them, so he just carried the things in his arms and entered his room sullenly. A few subordinates didn't know why, and after looking at each other for a long time, they all ran to the little master's door and squatted, waiting to listen to orders at any time.

Chu Liuxiang glanced at Ren Xiang, who was calm and calm beside him, and said with a chuckle: "Lord Ren seems to be in a good mood. ”

Ren Xiang hated him for being so confident that he seemed to know everything, and he responded to him with a smirk when he heard this: "I solved a big matter in my heart, so I naturally feel happy." ”

"Heh......" Chu Liuxiang smiled meaninglessly, "Yes, I finally found a decent reason to keep people and hide them, so I naturally feel happy, but I don't know how sad Changsheng would be if he knew that his most respected 'Brother Ren' had deceived him." ”

Ren Xiang's face changed greatly, "Where did you start with this?" ”

Chu Liuxiang restrained her smile and said, "Changsheng can't see it with shallow experience, but it doesn't mean that someone in Chu can't see it either." If there really is such a secret edict, why should he, a squeamish nobleman, go all the way to get something here? Lord Ren, you can just send a trustworthy person to the capital secretly, there is no need to be so troublesome, anyway, he will still bother you to run errands. ”

"Besides, he is weak, and if he encounters a cold on the road, he can die, no matter how he thinks, the Ye family will never let him take such a big risk. In my opinion, this incident was nothing more than a scam to lure him out of the capital. I'm afraid that the so-called secret edict wrapped in wax in his arms is also a blank piece of paper, right? ”

Ren Xiang stared at Chu Liuxiang with a cold face for a while before he spoke: "It is said that Chu Xiang is handsome and smart, and now it looks like it really deserves its reputation, but it only took three or two days to figure out all the truth, Ren admires." ”

"Yes, we did plan the whole thing, as you can imagine." He simply and generously admitted it.

The suspicion in his heart was affirmed, and Chu Liuxiang was not very surprised: "Sure enough." ”

"But we did this just to get him out of the center of the swamp of power entanglement, and to protect him intact."

"Young Master Chu is a person in the rivers and lakes, and he may not know much about some things in the court, this is not a gadget for you martial arts people to fight and kill, if you don't get it, you will rob the family and punish the nine clans! The identity of the Ye family is there, whether they are willing or not, they have to have their own position, the prince wins and their family will naturally soar and have a bright future, if the prince loses, the new emperor will never allow the people who support the prince to live, and when the time comes, all related people, including Changsheng, are afraid that they will all lose their heads. ”

"I think you should know a little bit about the stakes in this, the teacher wants to keep the last bit of hope for the Ye family. Changsheng's temperament, you look like a soft and easy to handle, in fact, there are some things that no one can control, don't use this method to trick him out of the Longtan Tiger's Den, what else can I do! ”

Chu Liuxiang listened to Ren Xiang silently, and finally sighed: "I really don't know much about the affairs of the imperial court, but you all deceive him like this, if he knows the truth over time, wouldn't it be even more troublesome?" ”

"That's better than falling into the hands of the third prince!" Ren Xiang was a little excited, "Third Prince...... He had that kind of dirty thoughts about Changsheng, and the Ye family poured Changsheng into his hands and suffered such insults, so it was better to follow the Ye family! ”

Blown up by this news, Chu Liuxiang stayed for a long time, "You mean...... That third prince has a mind for Changsheng? ”

"Exactly, I have been away from the capital for more than ten years, these are all from my senior brother, that is, the second young master of the Ye family, he sent me a letter, earnestly begging me to keep Changsheng, if the Ye family is really subverted, Changsheng can be an ordinary ordinary person in the future, at least under my protection, spend the rest of his life in this still rich place, how is it better than following the third prince to be his little pet!"

"Chu Xiangshuai, if you really regard Changsheng as a friend, if you are willing to pity the Ye family's hard work, please don't tell him about these things, just let him think that there is really such a thing as a secret edict, let him be happy for a few days, please!" Ren Xiang was about to kneel down as he spoke.

Chu Liuxiang hurriedly grabbed him: "Lord Ren, what are you doing, please get up quickly." Chu is not a person who does not understand people, I understand what Lord Ren said, I ...... I won't sue him. ”

"My thoughts are the same as those of Lord Ren and the Ye family, please rest assured." Chu Liuxiang assured.

Ren Xiang saw that his attitude was sincere, so he also quietly let go, he knew that people like Chu Liuxiang attached the most importance to commitment, and once he promised something, he would definitely do it.

"I'm relieved to have Xiangshuai's words." Ren Xiang raised his sleeve and wiped the slightly flushed water droplets from the corners of his eyes, "You may not know, just two days ago, there was news in Beijing that the crown prince was deposed." ”

"What!?" Chu Liuxiang was shocked, he was a martial arts person who also knew what the abolition of the prince meant to the whole country.

"It's true, the teacher has already said in the letter that the Ye family is now in turmoil, although the prince has been secretly sent to the northwest camp by them overnight, but things have come to this point...... This battle for the throne is already about to see blood. ”

"The power of the mother clan of the three princes should not be underestimated, his princess's family is also a line of the Pingnan Army with heavy troops, and the prince's side is basically equally powerful, if the two sides really fight, the capital will definitely be bloody." Ren Xiang said bitterly, "No one is willing to fight, but the matter has come to this point, if Changsheng goes back at this juncture, it will undoubtedly stab the Ye family's heart." ”

Chu Liuxiang nodded, "I didn't expect that the situation in the court was already so severe, Prime Minister Ye's decision was right, if Changsheng went back at this time, it would definitely distract the entire Ye family." ”

The two discussed the situation between the DPRK and China in the middle court, and gradually had some heart-to-heart sympathy for each other, and soon became friends.

Ye Changsheng was bored in the room alone, he understood all what Ren Xiang meant, what he was afraid of was what if there was a mistake in this thing, but if he sent it back himself, it would delay time, so he could only be in a dilemma.

When Chu Liuxiang opened the door and walked in, he was still thinking about it.

has promised Ren Xiang to keep this secret, Chu Liuxiang's mind has changed again, no matter whether Changsheng will blame him for everything in the future, he will do it, nothing is more important than his life.

"Still thinking?" He walked over and sat down, and smiled at Changsheng's sad face.

"Well, Brother Chu, what do you think I should decide?" Ye Changsheng trusted him very much, so he simply asked directly.

Being looked at by him with such a completely trusting look, Chu Liuxiang felt a little guilty that he was going to deceive him, so he could only force himself to settle down: "I think what Lord Ren said is good, you should listen to him." ”

"You think so, too?" Ye Changsheng said sullenly, "But what if something goes wrong?" ”

"You should trust Lord Ren as you trust me." Chu Liuxiang enlightened him, "Prime Minister Ye Cheng said that you can trust him, what else do you have to hesitate about." ”

"I didn't disbelieve Brother Ren." Ye Changsheng was dissatisfied.

Chu Liuxiang shook his head: "Look at the way you have come over, I just take care of you carefully, and you still have a small illness from time to time, right?" Brother Chu can't sleep deeply every night, I'm afraid that you will kick the quilt and catch a cold, and you are still picky eaters and refuse to eat this and that, can you tell me if it is a delay? ”

Ye Changsheng was a little ashamed by him, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I, I ......"

Chu Liuxiang stretched out his arms and hugged the person into his arms: "I didn't say so much to make you feel ashamed, Changsheng, Brother Chu hopes that you will pay more attention to your body, the road to the capital is too far, I'm afraid you will get sick." ”

His voice was too gentle, and Ye Changsheng blushed: "Then, then I'll let Brother Ren deliver the letter." ”

"Okay, Changsheng is really good." Chu Liuxiang kissed him on the forehead, "If you go back now, you will also share your father's thoughts, and when the secret edict is promulgated to announce that the situation in the world is stable, Brother Chu will take you home with a beautiful scenery, okay?" ”

Ye Changsheng got up from his arms, stared at Chu Liuxiang's eyes, and replied stunned: "Okay." ”

The corners of Chu Liuxiang's lips raised a good-looking arc, then lowered her head slightly, and gnawed down on the good-looking mouth: "This is the reward." ”
