Chapter 060: The City Government
It was a little dark, and the candles beside the stone road were already lit with flickering fire, illuminating the road in front of them. Shen Mei followed behind Steward Li and didn't say a word.
Listening to Steward Li's tone, something important happened to Xu, otherwise Liang Chen would not have called Steward Li in such a hurry.
She secretly glanced at Steward Li, who was walking in a hurry, biting her lip with her teeth, and didn't know where to speak. Xu is gaze was too hot, Steward Li suddenly stopped, Shen Mei was stunned, and hit his back straight up.
She let out an "oops" and said nothing else.
The bodies of the two were illuminated by the candle flames, and a long black shadow was imprinted on the ground.
Steward Li spoke in a low tone, turned around and looked straight at Shen Mei, that look was too unfamiliar, very different from Steward Li on weekdays.
She couldn't help but swallow her saliva and asked cautiously, "Steward Li?" Why don't we go? ”
Steward Li looked at her quietly for a while before he slowly spoke, "Concubine Rong's affairs have already been known to Prince Ling Xuan, and this time I can only hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be angry." ”
What the? There was a "boom" in Shen Mei's head, and she remembered what Mu Lingxuan said.
Shouldn't he use this news to threaten Liang Chen. Shen Mei frowned, and her attitude became more and more cautious, "Did Prince Lin Xuan say anything?" ”
Hearing her words, Steward Li couldn't help but snort lightly, he could be regarded as having put his attitude down. Mu Lingxuan's attitude today was really too arrogant, if it wasn't for the timely discovery of the guards in the palace, they would still be under the surveillance of those people.
He didn't say much to her anymore, just turned around silently and said lightly, "Go with me, you'll naturally know when you arrive." ”
Shen Mei silently swallowed all the remaining words into her stomach and honestly followed behind Steward Li.
As soon as he entered Qingyi Xuan, Steward Li walked out and closed the door. The sound of the lock made Shen Mei's heart cold, and cold sweat broke out in her palms.
She carefully looked at the exceptionally clean courtyard and walked forward step by step. This is Liang Chen's favorite place, planted a large piece of green bamboo, which looks very pleasing to the eye and makes people feel comfortable.
Shen Mei clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and comforted herself, she must be calm.
"Sit." I don't know where Liang Chen suddenly appeared, and a voice sounded, which startled Shen Mei.
Shen Mei looked at Liang Chen, who was expressionless, her body shook, she didn't know what mood to face it, and she recalled what Steward Li said.
Her heart sank, and she looked like she was at home, and moved to the stone table step by step and sat down.
The knobly distinct fingers kept beating on the table, as if hitting Shen Mei's heart socket.
She couldn't sit still, and couldn't help but speak, "What, I heard that Prince Lin Xuan came to look for you." ”
"Hmm." He replied lightly and chuckled, "He has a way to rescue Rong'er, but he wants half of my Liang country's troops." ”
"What?" Shen Mei was also a little surprised. Half of the army was enough to make Liang Guo very weak, and he was unable to resist the attacks of other countries.
Mu Lingxuan was clearly down, and Shen Mei was a little displeased, mixed with apologies. If he hadn't said a word in front of Mu Lingxuan, there would have been no current result.
Liang Chen glanced at her lightly, smiled lazily, and didn't seem to care, "It's just half of the troops, if you can really let Rong'er come back to me, I promise him." ”
On the way to Shen Mei, he had already thought about it, and he decided to agree to Mu Lingxuan's conditions. It's just that Shen Mei's temperament is too soft, and she is completely at odds with Mu Lingxuan's deep scheming.
The scorching gaze made Liang Chen raise his eyes, and when he saw her looking at him in disbelief, he couldn't help laughing, and his starry eyes narrowed slightly, looking very gentle.
"What's wrong? Isn't this the best way, for the sake of Rong'er, it's nothing. At the end, he slowly lowered his eyes and the smile on his face slowly faded.
Shen Mei suddenly felt a little sorry for this man, Concubine Rong was really lucky, although her road was not smooth, but there was such a man who loved her. She comforted, "Don't be so hasty to make a decision, there must be other ways, let's think slowly." ”
Liang Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly, he didn't think that Mu Lingxuan would not take other measures after knowing his affairs.
When he comes up with a way, Mu Lingxuan will also set himself up, it is better to promise him early now, or to meet Rong'er as soon as possible.
Shen Mei silently closed her mouth, she was already comforting him, if she really wanted to find a way, she really didn't have a good idea.
However, Mu Lingxuan is different, with his identity, it is easy for Concubine Rong to leave.
Liang Chen looked at the well-growing green bamboo and muttered, "She said that she wanted to live with me in a house with green bamboo, just the two of us." ”
He slowly raised a smile, his eyes full of happiness, as if he had seen the life of the two at that time. Seeing his lost mind, Shen Mei's heart trembled slightly, and it seemed that she could only find Mu Lingxuan.
"Since that's the case, then follow your decision, it's just that this is a fatal blow to Liang Guo, I hope you can think it through."
Half the troops, this is not a joke.
Liang Chen was slightly upright and said, "Naturally, I won't joke about Liang Guo's safety, I want Mu Lingxuan to promise me three things." ”
"Will he easily promise you?" Shen Mei was a little skeptical, although she was full of love for Mu Lingxuan, she would not be blinded and didn't know anything.
Mu Lingxuan's city is very deep, and he will not trade at a loss.
"Since I have made this decision, I am completely sure that he will agree." Liang Chen hooked his lips and smiled, and said leisurely, "He needs to do something very much now to convince Emperor Wu and the ministers of his identity as the crown prince, so he will definitely agree." ”
After a pillar of incense, Mu Lingxuan, who got the news, didn't hesitate and immediately rushed over.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Shen Mei and Liang Chen talking and laughing under the slightly flickering candlelight.
Mu Lingxuan's eyes darkened with a smile on his face, and then he returned to normal and immediately walked up.
"Mei'er, why are you here, it's getting late, I'll worry if you go out alone." With a tender face, he lifted the long hair hanging down his ears for Shen Mei, as if he was looking at his beloved.
It's just that he knows very well in his heart how disgusting he is with the woman in front of him.
Sure enough, Shen Mei still couldn't escape the gentle township compiled by Mu Lingxuan.
She lowered her head shyly and said softly, "Naturally, there is something to discuss." She immediately pulled Mu Lingxuan to sit down.
Liang Chen looked at Mu Lingxuan with a smile on his face, as if he had seen through his thoughts.
This made Mu Lingxuan very disgusted, and he hated Liang Chen's self-righteous appearance the most.
But he could only pretend to be calm, with a faint smile, his eyes were like water tenderness, and he looked sideways at Shen Mei.
"Don't you two frown at me in front of me, don't you feel very sorry for me?" Liang Chen didn't break it, just pretended to be sad.
He only needs to take Rong'er away, and the rest, his eyes are dark, and only coldness is left - it has nothing to do with him.
