Chapter 37: The Great Prince's Choice
Mei Xue felt dissatisfied because of Zhao Xuan's ignorance, and when she was thinking about Xiao Jiujiu in her heart, the housekeeper had already closed the door of the mansion under Zhao Xuan's order.
With a "bang", the gold-cast door was closed from the inside heavily, and Mei Xue was pulled back to her sight by the loud noise. She looked at the door in front of her, which was still wide open, but it was closed in an instant, and she couldn't help but rush forward and knock on it.
"Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock.."
Except for the sound of being knocked, Mei Xue didn't see a person coming out of the door of the mansion, and even when she came to get the closed door, there was no sign of moving.
"Zhao Xuan, you stay in wood, how can you shut this girl out of the door, you and I will open the door."
Seeing that knocking on the door had no effect, Mei Xue had to shout outside the door of the house; It's just that she doesn't know Zhao Xuan, and she thinks that her words can inspire Zhao Xuan, which is too naΓ―ve.
Inside the mansion, the housekeeper stood at the door and listened to Mei Xue's shouting and scolding of Zhao Xuan outside, and the initial good impression of Mei Xue in his heart couldn't help but disappear, knowing in his heart that the woman in blue was too uneducated.
"Master, that woman is still outside the house, scolding you."
The butler, who really couldn't listen to it, had to come to Zhao Xuan's study to ask for Zhao Xuan's orders, and Zhao Xuan didn't have any expression on his face after hearing the butler's return, he asked Mo Yu who was standing aside, "Has the county lord returned to the Xu Mansion safely?" β
Originally, when Zhao Xuan left the palace after the morning court, Mo Yu found that his master was a little too cold today, not the coldness emanating from his face in the previous posture, but from the whole body, even standing far away from him, he could feel the coldness on his body; Mo Yu has reminded himself many times in his heart that he must serve Zhao Xuan carefully today, and he must reduce his sense of existence in front of Zhao Xuan's eyes, so as not to accidentally provoke this master who can often make people feel creepy.
When he was thinking about what he was going to do, he suddenly heard Zhao Xuan's question, Mo Yu couldn't help but be surprised, and then quickly came back to his senses and said, "The county lord has returned to the Xu Mansion safely, please rest assured." β
When Mo Yu was already happy in his heart for such a quick and satisfactory answer, he never thought that Zhao Xuan, who had always been familiar with them, had already heard the difference from Mo Yu's words so satisfactorily.
Zhao Xuan lifted the rice paper he had placed on the table and stayed on Mo Yu's body for a moment; Seeing Zhao Xuan's eyes, Mo Yu was almost frightened to reveal the prototype, at this moment, Zhao Xuan said to the housekeeper who was still outside the study: "Let her go, don't worry about it, if you meet this kind of person in the future, just close the door of the mansion directly." β
It turned out to be what he said to the housekeeper, and Mo Yu couldn't help but exhale a long breath in his heart; It's just that before he had time to rejoice, Zhao Xuan's heavy and cold voice sounded in Mo Yu's ears, and said, "Give you a chance, remember that there is only one time, and you won't take it as an example." β
Mo Yu looked at Zhao Xuan's back with a frightened face, he always knew that his master was very powerful, but he didn't expect Zhao Xuan to be so powerful, he could actually be heard by Zhao Xuan if he had no flaws, Mo Yu's heart was now full of admiration for Zhao Xuan.
But then he thought of Zhao Xuan's words, the master said to give him a chance, that is, as long as he told the truth, he didn't have to be punished by the master's pervert?
Thinking like this, a trace of joy flashed on Mo Yu's face, and then he said to Zhao Xuan: "Please punish the master, the county lord was brought back to the Xu Mansion by Mu Xiaoshizi, but the subordinates and Mo Zhu also went together, and after seeing the county lord enter the Xu Mansion, the subordinates and others left." β
Zhao Xuan listened to Mo Yu's answer while gently clasping the table with his hand, and let out a "Bang... Boom... Knock", after Mo Yu explained the facts clearly, Zhao Xuan didn't make a sound.
It wasn't until a long time passed, when Mo Yu thought that he was going to be punished by Zhao Xuan again, that Zhao Xuan finally spoke up, only to see him look at Mo Yu and say, "Mo Yu, how long have you been with Mo Zhu?" β
Mo Yu was stunned for a moment by Zhao Xuan's sudden question, and then cautiously replied to Zhao Xuan: "Back to the master, eight years ago, the master kindly saved me and Mo Zhu who were seriously injured in the heavy snow, if there was no master to rescue, there would be no Mo Yu and Mo Zhu now, and the master is the reborn parents of Mo Yu and Mo Zhu." β
Zhao Xuan nodded, "Well, it's good." You've been with me for eight years..."
Before Zhao Xuan's words were finished, Mo Yu had already noticed that something was wrong with Zhao Xuan's words, and said with a worried mood: "Master, Mo Yu and Mo Zhu swear to follow the master to the death. β
Moving his gaze away from Mo Yu, how could Zhao Xuan's heart not know Mo Yu and Mo Zhu's loyalty to him, but Jiuhuang is the untouchable bottom line in Zhao Xuan's heart, since they want to hide anything about Jiuhuang, but Zhao Xuan has never been able to accept it, even the most loyal subordinates around him.
Zhao Xuan sighed: "You each go down to receive the punishment twenty times, just let Zifengzi come over these days." β
Zhao Xuan's words were like a death order to Mo Yu, and Mo Yu, who was originally nervous, instantly turned gray after hearing Zhao Xuan's words; At this time, in his heart, he also agreed with what the butler said, it seemed that his master was very concerned about the lord of Jiuhuang County, and even exceeded their assessment; Mo Yu didn't have any words for Zhao Xuan's punishment of them, because he knew that if Zhao Xuan really cared about the Nine Phoenix County Lord, then according to Zhao Xuan's previous temperament, the punishment for them was already light.
But as soon as he thought of that kind of painful punishment, Mo Yu felt that his body couldn't help but shudder.
"Zhao Xuan's words today, the court rejected his father's marriage for him, does he really not want to marry a concubine or is he just acting in front of his husband?"
Zhao Ye, who returned to the prince's mansion, invited Yang Jin over, and the two once again recalled Zhao Xuanai's opportunity to win over the ministers of the court by refusing Zhao Yun to marry a concubine for him.
After Yang Jin heard Zhao Ye's words, he pondered; Zhao Xuan's actions in the court today also made Yang Jin wonder which play Zhao Xuan was singing. It stands to reason that in the face of such a good opportunity, Zhao Xuan, who has been promoted and cultivated by Zhao Yun during this time, already has the ability to compete with Zhao Ye and Zhao Si for the position of the prince, and Zhao Yun's will to marry a concubine for him is a good way to win over the relationship and increase the bargaining chips for the position of the prince, but why did he refuse so thoughtlessly?
Yang Jin didn't believe that Zhao Xuan would have no intention of sitting on the throne of the prince, if Zhao Xuan had the idea of sitting on the position of the prince, but above the main hall, in front of the minister of civil and military affairs, Zhao Yun would be able to leave a better impression in Zhao Yun's heart, then Zhao Yun would be more promoted and cultivated by Zhao Xuan, and even because of Zhao Xuan's behavior, Zhao Xuan would be determined to be the prince in his heart.
Thinking of this, Yang Jin was not only shocked, he originally thought that this third prince, who had never been remembered or paid attention to before, would not be able to become a great person even if he was suddenly promoted by Zhao Yun, let alone a candidate for the prince; But after this incident, Yang Jin found that Zhao Xuan was too shrewd and calculating, but it was just a small matter, but he was also used by him like this, and Yang Jin was panicked by Zhao Xuan's scheming.
If such a Zhao Xuan really becomes the prince of the Celestial Empire, then it will not be a disaster for him, and he must not let Zhao Xuan become the prince of the Celestial Empire, he is not easy to control, more because Yang Jin has never contacted Zhao Xuan, and he does not know Zhao Xuan's personality at all, under unknown circumstances, Yang Jin will definitely choose Zhao Ye, the eldest prince who has been cooperating with him, he is easier to control than Zhao Xuan.
Thinking of this, Yang Jin looked at Zhao Ye and said, "It seems that the third prince is the eldest prince, and you have become the biggest and strongest opponent of the prince." β
Yang Jin's words made Zhao Ye couldn't help but look back at him, speculating in his heart about the meaning of Yang Jin's words, and then Zhao Ye asked: "Is the Taishi saying that my father has already intended to make the third brother the prince?" β
Yang Jin glanced at Zhao Ye, nodded and shook his head. Zhao Ye looked at Yang Jin's movements, and couldn't help but wonder: "What does this mean, Taishi?" β
"Alas!" Yang Jin sighed, and then said: "Although the emperor did not indicate that he wanted to appoint the three princes as the princes, but looking at the emperor's favor to the three princes, I am afraid that he has already planned to appoint the three princes as the princes. He has already skipped you, the eldest prince who is the eldest son and has the purest royal blood. β
"Wow"
After hearing Yang Jin's words, Zhao Ye's heart tightened, and the hand hanging in front of him couldn't help but tighten.
"The eldest prince, if we can't wait any longer, what you will face is the day when the third prince becomes the prince."
Zhao Ye retracted the hatred and anger in his heart, looked at Yang Jin in front of him, and said: "Taishi's words are to let me strike first, but you and I have seen the third brother's kung fu, such a high level of martial arts, it is impossible for the killers we sent to assassinate him, but we will also lose our own manpower." β
Yang Jin listened to Zhao Ye's words, nodded and said, "It's true that we can't send killers, but it's not just assassination that can solve the three princes. β
Well? When Zhao Ye heard Yang Jin's words, he looked at Yang Jin suspiciously and asked?
"Half a month later, the prince of the rice country will bring the princess of the rice country to my heavenly dynasty and relatives, and then the eldest prince only asks for the emperor and marries the princess of the rice country, so with the help and support of the rice country, the eldest prince will become the prince with an extra layer of bargaining chips. I believe that the emperor will not deliberately offend the great country of the United States for the sake of the peace of the Celestial Empire. β
The princess of the United States? Zhao Ye thought about the princess of the rice country in his heart, it is rumored that there is only one snow princess in the rice country, who is the most favored daughter of the rice emperor, and is known as the first beauty in the rice country.
