Ye Xuemei's arrival surprised Gongliang Yuzhi, so he ordered Cai He to make ginger tea.

After there were only a few of them left in the house, Ye Xuemei raised her eyes and said, "I came here today to discuss something with the prince." ”

Gongliang stopped asking, "What's the matter?" ”

Ye Xuemei held the stove in her hand and said slowly: "I'll just get straight to the point, I hope the prince can agree to the marriage with Shi Fenglan." ”

After listening to Ye Xuemei's words, Gongliang's mouth opened wide, and his face was full of disbelief. The next moment, he walked up to Ye Xuemei and reached out to touch her forehead, "Is the girl sick, why did she start talking nonsense?" ”

Ye Xuemei stretched out her hand and brushed his hand away and said, "Lord Wang, I am not sick, and I am not talking nonsense. The prince should know that according to the character of the Empress Dowager Wan, if the prince does not agree to this marriage, she will definitely not give up. Instead of this, the prince might as well have agreed earlier. ”

Gongliangyu frowned, and replied: "Shi Fenglan is arrogant and arrogant, I will definitely not marry her." You know, the only person I want to marry is you. ”

"That concubine ......"

Gongliang Yuzhi raised his hand to interrupt her words, and said with a bit of arrogance: "I know what the girl wants to say, Wu State may attack Song State at any time if it increases troops on the border." Both Xia and Heshe may be allies of Western Shu, and they will not attack me lightly until this scourge is pacified. "Although he was only twenty-six years old, he had already shown extraordinary talent for commanding troops four years earlier. Looking at the entire Song Kingdom, there are few people who are qualified to stand side by side with him in this regard.

Ye Xuemei nodded slightly, "Maybe, but what about after the disaster is calmed down?" Does the prince think that the Empress Dowager Wan or Emperor Song will let you and the people around you go because of family affection or merit? ”

Gongliang stopped: "Maybe after I quell the foreign strife this time, my merits can become a bargaining chip for my refusal to marry?" Maybe I have the capital to compete with the imperial brother and the queen mother? Does the girl not believe me like that? ”

"The prince's wings are not yet full, how can he make such a move? Has the prince forgotten what he promised me? If I am so reckless, what about my revenge? ”

Ye Xuemei's words pierced Gongliang's chest like a needle, and his breathing stagnated in pain, "I never dared to forget." It's just that the most important thing for you is ...... Is it just revenge? ”

"Yes!" Although she was also in pain in her heart, she wanted to forcibly suppress it, "The king should also remember why I came to the Song Kingdom with you." If you are not King Ning, not the bearer of the throne secretly chosen by Emperor Ming, then ...... What use are you to me? And how to fulfill the original promise? ”

The gold and red candles burned quietly on the candlesticks of the gilt silver flowers, and the soft red candle tears slowly slipped down, filling the candlesticks that were not very large.

Gongliangyu stopped looking at those cold and ruthless eyes, and said astringently: "So...... You came today, I want me to marry Shi Fenglan? ”

"Yes!" Ye Xuemei said this word loudly, and then stopped at Gongliang: "The meaning of my life is revenge, and I can do anything for revenge!" Only when the prince marries the lord of Evergreen can he consolidate his position in the court and break the suspicion of the queen mother. That's why my revenge plan will be carried out smoothly! ”

Every word she said was like a barbed whip, and it struck him hard, causing him severe pain. He has always believed that "when love moves, the golden stone is open". But now it seems so ridiculous, from beginning to end, it is her own wishful thinking, his love, his will, she has never cared, she only uses herself as a tool for revenge!

Despite being riddled with holes, he still couldn't help but say, "Ye Xuemei, you ...... me Is there really no affection? ”

Ye Xuemei closed her eyes in pain, turned to meet Gongliang's sad gaze, and said, "No! Never! ”

The cold wind swept up the ice and rain on the carved windows, and although they were tightly closed, a clammy and cold breath seeped in, crushing the charcoal fire burning in the copper basin.

After a long time, Gongliang stopped laughing, and his sad and sad laughter resounded in the room, which was heart-wrenching. I don't know how long it took, he restrained his laughter, and his eyes fell on Ye Xuemei's face again. This time, there was only an icy coldness on his face, "Good! Very good! Ye Xuemei, don't worry, I will marry Shi Fenglan back to the mansion, and I will avenge you as promised before. It's just that between us, there will be no more love, only transactions! ”

"Good! As long as the prince succeeds in avenging me in the future, no matter what the prince wants, I will agree! ”

Her unthinking answer extinguished the last trace of hope in Gongliangyu's heart. He paid it wrong, both four years ago and four years later......

After a long silence, he raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "A word is a certainty!" ”

"It's a deal!"

After Ye Xuemei responded, Gongliang stopped after returning to the long case, and said indifferently: "If the girl is fine, go back to the East Courtyard, this king still has a lot of official documents to deal with." ”

"One more thing." Ye Xuemei lowered her eyes and said: "In the conflict between Shi Fenglan and Gao Xueliu, Gao Xueliu seems to be weak, but in fact, everything was planned by her. So the prince doesn't have to show mercy to her in front of the Queen Mother. ”

"Miss Gao's planning?" Gongliang was stunned for a moment, and then said sarcastically: "Don't you think this is too ridiculous? Shi Fenglan threatened to cut her hair on the street, and Princess Pingyang came to the door to ask for her guilt, wanting to marry her to Liu Zhi. Could it all be fake, made up? ”

"It's true, but everything is under Gao Xueliu's control, and the purpose is to ......"

"Enough!" Gongliang interrupted her unceremoniously, "I will deal with Gao Xueliu's matter, don't bother the girl, go out!" ”

"Lord ......"

Gongliang was angry at the moment, where did he have the heart to listen to her continue, and scolded: "Get out!" ”

Seeing him like this, Ye Xuemei had no choice but to leave as she said. Behind her, there was the breaking sound of teacups being thrown on the ground......

Cai He brought ginger tea over, but Ye Xuemei was missing, and when he was surprised, the porter came to report that Mrs. Gao had come to visit. He didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly told the public to stop.

When Mrs. Gao came in, the broken porcelain pieces on the ground had already been cleaned up, and she bent her knees, "I've seen the prince!" ”

"Mrs. Gao is excused." After offering the seat and serving tea, Gongliang said, "I don't know why Mrs. came at night?" ”

"I ...... I ......" Mrs. Gao couldn't speak for a while, and when Gongliang was impatient to wait, she suddenly knelt down and said, "Please have mercy on the prince and save Xueliu." ”
