Chapter 336: Illusions
"Helian Jun is so talented, how can Lone's words be a fallacy?" There was a sharp light in Murong Qi's deep eyes, and there seemed to be both opposition and appreciation in his expression, and the two were mixed together, and for a while, people couldn't help but have a complex and intertwined feeling.
"Hua Jun asked me to come here, it should be not just to talk about the queen's mother, right?" Yu Ran smiled slightly, her eyes flashed, and she suddenly changed the topic.
Murong Qi's eyes raised slightly, and he said in a low voice: "As Helian Jun said." β
"That'sβis there anything about Nangong Xiyu?" Yu Ran smiled, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and his eyes were even more cunning.
Murong Qi's heart moved, because it was obvious that Yu Ran had guessed his mind in front of him again.
It really deserves to be Helian Yu of Ningguo, the former eldest princess of Ming Xu!
Murong Qi's expression remained unchanged, "Helian Jun is right, it is about Concubine Qing." β
"Huajun, please speak." Yu Ran stretched out a hand and spread it out, as if motioning for Murong Qi to continue.
"Concubine Qing came from the Shang Kingdom, she was originally the princess of the Shang Kingdom, and she was favored by the Shang royal family, as a princess of Heqin, her status is very noble, this Helian Jun should be very clear?" Murong Qi opened his mouth and said.
Yu Ran nodded and smiled indifferently, "I know all of this, and besides, I think I also understand why Hua Jun came to me." Nangong Xiyu, as a princess of Heqin, married Hua Jun not long ago, but she almost lost her life today, and she had nothing to do with Hua Jun's queen. The paper can't hold the fire, this news will eventually be spread, and at that time, even if Hua Jun is not afraid of the military strength of the Shang State, it will make Hua Guo suffer endless gossip, which will greatly damage the hearts of the Chinese people, but it will become the ambition of the Shang State.
"If Hua Jun just wants me to go to Nangong Xiyu to say a few words in her ear, and ask her to come forward and explain to outsiders in person, so as to avoid the disasters that Hua Guo may suffer, then I will naturally help with this favor, and Hua Jun doesn't have to worry about anything else. After all, Ning Guo has overpowered Shang Guo over the years, but Shang Guo is extremely disgusted, and I don't want the newly appointed Shang Jun to be arrogant, and I want to step on others' heads. β
"It seems that no matter what the situation of the Four Seas is, Helian Jun can still see it clearly in his heart like a mirror." Murong Qi flicked his sleeves lightly, pressed his palms on the edge of the table, and looked solemn.
"The new Shang Jun Nangong Ling is not a person who can swallow his anger, he has always been vicious and thinks a lot, even if you put the great benefits that may be obtained after the marriage of the two countries in front of him, he will not believe it all. Hua Jun regards harmony as an expedient measure, so why shouldn't he? In this world, you and I are not the only ones who have wise strategists, so everything is possible. Yu Ran raised his eyebrows slightly.
Murong Qi frowned and said, "What Helian Jun means is that there are also people around Shang Jun who give him advice, so even Shang Guo may be able to calculate Hua Guo's head?" β
Hearing this, Yu Ran smiled lightly, "Isn't Huajun's Concubine Qing Niangniang just that excellent chess piece?" Huajun's queen mother's temperament is arrogant and arrogant, and it is not only clear to the palace. β
Murong Qi immediately understood the meaning of jade dyeing, Shang Guo took advantage of the queen's heart, knowing that once he favored Nangong Xiyu, it was very likely that the queen would secretly kill Nangong Xiyu.
Although this trick seems simple, it is actually extremely vicious!
Now that these four countries occupy the four sides and divide up this great territory, they are all too closely connected with each other, and the agreement between them is also imperceptibly too much. Although it is only a princess who is married, the princess is like a noble envoy, and if such a thing as a noble envoy being killed in another country occurs, then the country that killed the noble envoy will be condemned and shamed by everyone in the world.
It may also be because the current Shikoku is a small subordinate state of the Ming Dynasty, which once dominated the world, and they have always been strictly bound by the Ming Dynasty. So they also have subtle habits, and they have become particularly important to this kind of thing, and they can't be more rigorous. If something goes wrong, people will laugh at it.
"It seems that Helian Jun can see the pros and cons of marrying Concubine Qing very clearly." Murong Qi said.
Yu Ran smiled and said, "I don't think Hua Jun has never thought of this. However, after all, your queen is also used to being too much, so take this opportunity to take it well. Nangong Xiyu, I will go in a while, this should be the last thing I will complete in the palace of King Hua. β
"Lone thought it would be nice for you to stay by the side of the four princes like this." Murong Qi said suddenly.
Hearing this, Yu Ran looked at Murong Qi with a smile, "I don't want to deceive Hua Jun, it feels really good." Merely...... It's a pity that I can't fulfill your wishes, Hua Jun, and suppress Rong Xi's ambition in this Hua King's Palace for the rest of my life. Because first of all, Rong Xi, like me, also doesn't like to be controlled by others, even if I exist, he will not be willing to let go. Secondly, the problem is mine, Rong Xi has ambition, and I- also have. How much we want to be with each other, the more we can feel the hard work we have together. Huajun, look, aren't we just having a hard time walking today? β
"The two of you turned the palace of King Hua upside down, put the two princes of Gu to death, and finally succeeded in threatening Gu, is this still difficult?" Murong Qi also smiled, but there was no joy in it, but it made people feel very cold.
"Allowing the attack to take poison to create a false impression, almost losing his life, but also suppressing himself, not to take a wrong step; And I, who changed my identity and stood between the Chinese court and the situation, risked that after my identity was exposed, I might be controlled by others, lose all existing situations, and even maybe lose my life. Isn't it difficult for us to move like this? When Yu Ran said this, his words were obviously full of chills, but the smile on his face was the opposite, especially light, "Huajun, Rong Xi is your fourth prince, and all his temperament and current situation are forced out by you and your princes. If Hua Jun really just wanted to get along with him, and didn't really mean to harm his life, why bother to turn himself into such a vicious person? β
The heart of jade dyeing is like a mirror, and the eyes are also transparent. Her glance seems to be able to hit people's hearts.
To be honest, this is the first time in so many years that Yu Ran has talked to Murong Qi so closely, and the last time Yu Ran and Murong Qi met should be back when Rong Xi was first given to Yu Ran as a "gift" as the concubine of the eldest princess of Mingxu. And that time, Yu Ran just had a few polite words with Murong Qi, and then he handed it over to Emperor Zhuan to handle it.
Therefore, Yu Ran talked to Murong Qi in person this time, and he still felt a lot.
Perhaps vaguely, Yu Ran sensed the contradiction in Murong Qi's heart. On the one hand, he wanted to guard against Rong Xi's careful calculations against him, lest Rong Xi would be like his mother and scheming on him; On the other hand, he felt that he should not treat the child of a woman he once loved so much. This double contradiction makes his heart constantly cloudy, which has caused this unpredictable temperament today.
"The fourth prince is Lone's child, what Lone wants to do, then it is not within your jurisdiction." Murong Qi raised his eyes slightly, his expression stiffened, Xu was told by Yuran about the pain and trouble, and his mood seemed a little bad.
"Did Hua Jun ever think that maybe Rong Xi's mother, Concubine Mei, had never meant to rebel and help Emperor Zhuan?" Yuran suddenly asked.
"That's enough, Helian Jun don't mention her name again. Lone had already given an order more than twenty years ago that no one should mention her again! Now that Helian Jun is in China, please don't commit the taboo of China. Murong Qi's expression changed unexpectedly, his brows tightened, his eyes deepened suddenly, and his breathing couldn't help but be a little shorter.
That person, that woman, seemed to be a deep thorn in his heart. Obviously, more than 20 years have passed, obviously she is dead, obviously he has ordered others not to mention her anymore, why, why can't he forget her?
"Sometimes, the more you want to forget, the more you remember." Yu Ran looked at Murong Qi, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and after a while, she smiled warmly, and made a simple but still respectful gesture towards Murong Qi, "I think Hua Jun is in a bad mood, so I'll leave first." After speaking, Yuran turned around and was about to walk away.
"Concubine Qing's matter ......" suddenly Murong Qi's voice came from behind.
Yuran didn't turn around and turned back, she just said indifferently: "Don't worry, Hua Jun, since I agreed, I will do it for Hua Jun." β
"It's lonely who owes Helian Jun a favor." Although Murong Qi didn't like jade dye, and even was almost opposed to her, what should be admitted, as a king, he would never do anything to repay his debts.
Yu Ran bent the corners of his lips, his tone changed, and he slowly turned back and smiled: "It's not easy to repay the debt of favors, Hua Jun is like this, but be careful." β
There was a bit of joke in Yuran's voice, but there was a bit of sincerity, and Murong Qi didn't get angry when he heard it, but said quietly: "Lonely will remember." β
"Then thank you Hua Jun." Yu Ran smiled sassyly, his expression was casual but elegant.
"Speaking of which, Helian Jun can now be regarded as 'marrying' the fourth prince as a concubine, and Lone seems to have never heard you call Lone Father?" Murong Qi half-squinted his eyes and spoke with a bit of amusement.
When Yu Ran heard this, he chuckled lightly and sighed again, "Hua Jun really likes to ask for more benefits here from Yu Ran. β
