Chapter 227: The Secret in the Heart Sutra
Cui Yuan walked quickly to Xue Jiaren's side, took her hand, took out a cloth towel and gently wiped the tea stains on her hands,
His movements were light and gentle, as if he were treating a treasure.
His eyes were as warm as water when he looked at her, and the brightness in his eyes almost burned Xue Jiaren.
Cui Yuan carefully wiped her hands, and then said tentatively, "Beauty, do you have any good ideas?" ”
Xue Jiaren held his hand instead, his eyes were gloomy, "Cui Lang, are you hiding something from me." I've told you all the secret things, is there anything else you can't tell me? ”
Cui Yuan's hand held by Xue Jiaren trembled slightly, he pulled out the hand held by Xue Jiaren, looked away from her, and said, "Beauty, what can I do." It's just for the sake of the spring that I haven't slept well these days, and I'm a little restless. Don't overthink it. ”
Cui Yuan obviously didn't want to tell her, Xue Jiaren thought about it, a man can't stand such a thing as being committed to the prince, he is afraid that it will be difficult to speak, so she will stop thinking, as long as others are by her side and her heart is on herself, as for the matter between him and the prince, wait for him to untie the knot in his heart, and then ask slowly.
"Then what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think now?" Cui Yuan asked.
Xue Jiaren slapped the table, frowned angrily, and sneered, "He, now he can't wait to leave me alone, so that he can go to Duanmu Qing of Zhenbei Wangfu and give me a side concubine, so he wants to send me away." ”
"Then what should we do, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made up his mind, I am afraid that he will not change his decision easily." Cui Yuan's eyebrows were tightly locked, and his lips were tightly pursed into a straight line.
"Besides His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, isn't there His Majesty? I don't believe that His Majesty would not want his own grandson. ”
Cui Yuan put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth, as if he thought of something, put down his hand, supported his chin with one hand and said, "Beauty, you think too simply, and you think about the royal too affectionate." Heirs are important to them, but they are nothing in the face of power and ambition. For now, I don't think you can offend the prince severely, but follow him. Now that the situation is not in our favor, we can only endure it for the first time, and then take a long-term view. ”
"Patience, patience, patience, I've endured it for so long, and how long will I have to endure it." Xue Jia's heart was annoyed, and she slapped it on the table with one hand.
"Beauty, don't be angry yet. Do you think, with the prince's ruthlessness, if he is ruthless and gets rid of the child in your belly, what can you do? Don't talk about the crown princess at that time, even your life will not be guaranteed. ”
Xue Jiaren was so frightened by Cui Yuan that her face turned pale, her little hands clenched into fists trembled, and her heart was even more flustered, she knew that Cui Yuan was right, with Ji Li's ferocity and ruthlessness, he would do such a thing.
She looked at Cui Yuan nervously and said, "Then what should Cui Lang do now." ”
"Now, there is no other way than to please the prince, first keep the position of the side concubine, take the child down, and then we will try to do something else when we have a child." Cui Yuan held Xue Jiaren's hand tightly and said with pity, "Beauty, for the sake of our children and for our future, I want to wronged you." ”
After speaking, he hugged Xue Jiaren, and said affectionately, "Beauty, you treat me so affectionately, Cui Yuan promises that he will never fail you." ”
Xue Jiaren said that he was deeply moved, his heart was sweet, and in his arms, he looked up at him aggrievedly, and said, "Cui Lang, is there no other way?" That fat man, I can't stay with him for a minute. ”
Cui Yuan stared down at Xue Jiaren, with a fierceness in his eyes, rubbed her hair, and comforted, "I know your grievances, when we have power, status, and manpower, we will find a way to deal with Ji Li at that time." ”
"Well, I believe you Cui Lang. Cui Lang, I can only rely on you in this life, if you lose me again, the beauty can really only die. ”
Cui Yuan blocked her lips with his mouth, and Xue Jiaren instantly melted into Cui Yuan's arms.
When the Nine Emperor Princes arrived at the mansion, Ji Yan summoned several staff members in the palace to sit around the couch together, and these staff members had been following Ji Yan for many years and won his trust.
On the couch was the copy of the Heart Sutra of Paramita that Xue Qingyi gave him yesterday, and Ji Li's slender fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop.
Several staff members looked at Ji Li intently, and after a while, Ji Li stopped what he was doing and put the "Paramita Heart Sutra" in front of the desk.
Yesterday, Xue Qingyi took care of him again and again to read this scripture, and after returning home in the evening, Ji Li took out the scripture and read it at night.
When he was bored in the palace when he was a child, he liked to play Scrabble, and he played with Qing'er a few times at that time.
When Xue Qingyi gave him a hint, he thought that there must be something in this scripture.
As he expected, when he opened the book and studied it carefully, he came up with the answer in the book.
At that time, he was shocked, it turned out that Qing'er actually had such a bold idea, and it coincided with his secret thoughts.
However, he couldn't figure out how Qing'er, a weak female streamer, could have such an idea, and she actually asked him if he had the determination to win the treasure.
When he spelled out such words, Ji Yan's heart felt like someone had punched him hard. She asked him if he dared?
Ji Li's heart was turbulent, and he couldn't calm down all night.
No matter how smart Qing'er is, it is impossible for him to see through his thoughts as soon as he returns to Jinling City, and he is a prince who has been wandering for many years, and he has no strength and dependence, so why did she ask him such a rebellious question.
And depending on what she meant, I just want him to think, and she has to do her best to help her. Why would she do it? Ji Li couldn't figure it out after tossing and turning all night.
Xue Qingyi's expression was extremely serious when she was in the Dingguo Mansion, she was not joking with him, Ji Li knew this very well.
"His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes?" One of the staff members saw that he was silent for a long time and opened his mouth.
Ji Li came back to his senses and motioned for him to continue.
"Your Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, Your Majesty's entrustment of the affairs of the Laba Festival this time is really a great opportunity for us, and Your Highness can take the opportunity to have more contact with the ministers of the court and get some contacts. Even if you can't win over, you can leave a good impression. ”
Several of the other staff members nodded in agreement. "Yes, at present, the ministers of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and these confidential departments have almost been co-opted by the prince and the crown prince. There are only three major princes in the DPRK and China who have not publicly expressed their support for any faction, and His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes can also visit him while returning to Beijing this time. ”
"Gentlemen, you're right, I'll trouble you to choose the gift for the main hall."
"Your Highness is serious, this is what the courtiers should do."
"Alright, gentlemen, if you have something to do, go and get busy." After Ji Yan finished speaking, several staff members respectfully retreated, and Ji Yan reopened the Heart Sutra on the case. (To be continued.) )
