Chapter 305: Self-defeating

Du Yuanxiu only felt that the scenery was swaying in front of her, and she only had the angry man in front of her in her sight.

He was like an enraged beast, struggling on the verge of madness. Du Yuanxiu felt such a scorching and real temperature on his wrist, and was not frightened by the anger on Dongfang Xu's body at all, but cherished him more and more in his heart, as if his sadness was transmitted to his skin through the palm of his hand.

After walking through the woods, the quiet lake, the silent garden, and finally came to the uninhabited courtyard, the man in front finally stopped, immediately let go of his hand, and turned back to look at the woman in front of him angrily, "How long have you been standing outside?" โ€

Du Yuanxiu had never seen Dongfang Xu like this, his eyes were stirring with a light that was difficult to ignore, although she understood that it was extremely rude for her to eavesdrop on the queen's conversation with him privately, but just like Dongfang Xu cared about the county lord of Yongji very much, whenever she encountered something related to Dongfang Xu, Du Yuanxiu couldn't control herself.

"Your Highness...... The county lord of Yongji already has a sweetheart, so His Royal Highness forgot about her, don't torture himself anymore. Originally, he prepared a bunch of words of consolation, but at this moment he rushed out without thinking, Du Yuanxiu just wanted to make Dongfang Xu wake up quickly, there was no longer a possibility between him and the county lord of Yongji.

His Highness was too tired for him to torture himself so much for something that could not have happened.

"Y-What did you say?" Dongfang Xu only felt that the anger that was originally full of heart was instantly extinguished by a boulder, only to see Du Yuanxiu's tears couldn't be stopped, her eyes were full of sincerity, "Your Highness, the county lord of Yongji already has a favorite person, why do you have to wait?" His Royal Highness should understand her, the county lord of Yongji is not a person who will change his mind lightly. โ€

She didn't know where she got the courage, and reached out to hold Dongfang Xu's arm, "Your Highness, the Chen Kingdom needs you, the Empress Mother and His Majesty need you...... And the child in the womb of the concubine......"

However, Dongfang Xu shook her off, "Don't talk nonsense!" โ€

"Your Highness, it's true! It was said by the county lord of Yongji and the concubine herself, and she never loved His Royal Highness from beginning to end......"

"Enough! I don't want to listen! Dongfang Xu took a few steps back as if looking at some monster, unwilling to be touched by Du Yuanxiu, such a reaction made the woman's heart ache, "Your Highness, if you really want the good of the county lord of Yongji, don't guard it anymore, the county lord of Yongji will live well even if he doesn't have His Royal Highness, but the country of Chen cannot live without His Royal Highness......"

Dongfang Xu's heart was in turmoil, and Yun Shu ...... Already have a sweetheart? No, it can't be, she never said it...... Moreover, she has never been close to any man...... Yes, Du Yuanxiu must be deceiving herself, she is like other women, she wants to blind herself and want to keep herself by any means!

Du Yuanxiu was shocked, because she clearly saw the undisguised disgust in Dongfang Xu's eyes. Your Highness...... Hate yourself?!

"Your Highness, don't be obsessed with the county lord of Yongji, the concubine, the concubine is really in love with His Royal Highness......"

But the man in front of him couldn't listen to any words anymore, his steps staggered a little, turned around and left Du Yuanxiu's sight without looking back, leaving only the woman in tears, looking at the direction he left stupidly, and finally squatted down weakly, heartache.

All the scenery crossed the line of sight, and Yun Shu's smiling face appeared in his mind.

She has the man she likes, so she refuses to accept herself and ignores her own intentions? Could it be that what she said before was all an excuse to shirk? What does she have that she must accomplish, what is the Jiangshan Sheji of Chenguo, what is the responsibility of being the prince, in fact, it is only because the person in her heart is not him?!

Dongfang Xu didn't know where he was at the moment, he stretched out his hand to hold the tree trunk on the side, gasping for breath, countless fragments flashed in his mind.

By the way, when she was on the streets of Kyoto, she seemed to be looking for someone, and for the first time, she saw a look of loss on her face. Could it be that it's for that man?!

Dongfang Xu's mind has countless possibilities, who will it be? Who could be that man in Yun Shu's heart?!

He clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, and suddenly, the queen's words flashed in his ears.

The father wants to marry the lord of Yongji County to Prime Minister Ji......

And the prime minister went to Jiangnan with Yun Shu to control the plague before, could it be that they got along day and night at that time, so that the two of them gradually got closer? !

Do you still remember that the prime minister once reminded himself not to forget the responsibility on his shoulders, but it turned out to be out of his selfishness?! He just wanted to make himself give up Yun Shu, so he said so much truth!

At this moment, Dongfang Xu had already lost his mind, and when the whistle sounded, a man in black immediately appeared in front of him.

"Take me to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Prime Minister's house.

In the dead of night, in the study, the candlelight was lit, but the man in front of the table had a few books spread out in his hand, but he couldn't read a word.

The emperor's decree had not yet come down, and before that, Ji Jin felt that everything could change. In the past, he was very confident, but only what happened to her made him so worried.

Can you really be that lucky? But Ji Jin felt a little worried, for fear that after the holy decree was issued, what she would get in exchange would be her hatred.

Can a woman like her really accept the arrangement of fate willingly? Ji Jin wasn't sure what Yun Shu's reaction would be after knowing about it.

There was a rustling sound outside, Ji Jin slowly raised his head and looked out the window, only to see a figure standing under the moonlight in the quiet courtyard.

"Who?!"

The guards in the palace didn't find out? It was none other than an assassin.

Thinking of this, Ji Jin's hand had already reached into the table and held a dagger for self-defense.

However, the man in the courtyard was motionless, Ji Jin took a closer look, and only felt that the outline of the person was somewhat familiar, so he slowly stepped forward until the expressionless handsome face appeared in front of him.

"Your Highness?"

Ji Jin's eyes flashed with surprise, and he pushed open the door to greet him.

Standing in front of Dongfang Xu, the man's gaze was as deep as a lake, Ji Jin paused slightly, and then leaned over and saluted, "See His Royal Highness the Prince." โ€

However, there was no response above his head, Ji Jin thought about the reason why the prince suddenly appeared here today, and a trace of joy immediately appeared in his heart. Presumably, it was for the sake of the county lord of Yongji. It seems that it is really as he expected, the emperor decided to stand on his side, which will make the prince come to his prime minister's mansion in a hurry.

"It's you, isn't it?"

Ji Jin raised his head suspiciously, pondering the meaning of his words.

"It's you, isn't it?" The voice was tinged with faint anger, and at this time Ji Jin had already stood up, shook his sleeves and looked at the man in front of him calmly, but he didn't answer.

Dongfang Xu's hand in his sleeve was clenched tightly, the breath on his body changed instantly, and there was forbearance between his eyebrows and eyes, and Ji Jin didn't know if he did it intentionally, and a smile had already raised at the corner of his mouth.

This subtle change made Dongfang Xu no longer hold back the anger in his heart, his eyes changed instantly, and he raised his fist and smashed it towards the face of the man in front of him with all his internal strength.

Unexpectedly, Ji Jin didn't dodge, Dongfang Xu immediately remembered the reality that the prime minister didn't understand martial arts, and immediately withdrew half of his internal force, but this punch smashed into Ji Jin's face, and the man immediately fell out without any resistance, "Ahem......"

Ji Jin only felt as if his jaw was about to dislocate, he snorted out a mouthful of blood, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and didn't want to chuckle out loud, "What makes His Highness so angry?" โ€

Dongfang Xu heaved his chest, looking at the man who was still smiling at this time, that smile seemed to him, it must be sarcasm and showing off, right?

"Why did you ...... to this day?"

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this, Weichen has not been standing here very early." Ji Jin stood up slowly, obviously incomparably wolf-bรจi's movements were so elegant and calm in what he did.

Trembling his sleeves slightly, and in the blink of an eye, Dongfang Xu had already rushed to him and grabbed his placket, "Since you have the same mind, why are you reluctant to take a step, why do you ......" Why did he sink so deeply?

Heart-to-heart? Ji Jin immediately realized that the prince seemed to have misunderstood something. Maybe he is actually the same as the prince, he has always been unrequited love.

Ji Jin tried to stand firm, "In this case, it is still too late for His Highness to withdraw now." โ€

There was a thick provocation in these words, Dongfang Xuxing's eyes flickered, and he couldn't say a word with his lips closed.

He had sunk too deep into it was impossible to turn back. Only Yun Shu, he will definitely not back down!

"Oh? So what is Your Highness going to do? Give up the country of Chen, give up all the people? Just for your own selfishness? Ji Jin suddenly pushed Dongfang Xu away, his eyes were instantly covered with anger, why is the prince so stubborn until now, he should understand that if the county lord of Yongji has a heart, he has already stood by his side, why struggle.

"You've finally shown your true colors, Prime Minister Ji!"

Ji Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, "So what?" โ€

"Okay, then today, this prince will compete with you!"

For a moment, the two men were entangled together, and their fists and feet did not back down under the moonlight. At this time, Ji Jin is no longer the appearance of a weak scholar, and Dongfang Xu is also empty-handed, and you come and go very fiercely.

"I will never give up on her!"

"Your Highness, it's time for you to wake up!"

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Early the next morning.

"Weichen, see the emperor."

Above the early dynasty, the voices of the ministers were loud, but Emperor Chen's eyes fell on an empty seat in front of him, "Ji Aiqing didn't go to the early dynasty today?" โ€

The ministers looked at each other, and there was immediately a whisper from below.

"This is the first time!"

"Yes, Prime Minister Ji has never been absent, what's wrong today?"

"Could it be that something happened, should it be ......?"

Everyone only felt that unless Prime Minister Ji was seriously ill, such a thing would never happen.

Emperor Zhenchen was also full of doubts, "Does anyone know what happened to Ji Aiqing?" โ€

And too in the womb.

"What? Your Highness is wounded?! Du Yuanxiu's heart jumped, and the teacup in his hand immediately fell to the ground
