"Really?" Liu Qi asked again.

"Of course not." Su Zhe shook his head again and again, and asked rhetorically: "If the Son of Heaven comes to Nanyang, such an important matter, the lower official must be the first to report to the lord, how can it be possible to wait until the eldest prince comes here to ask me in person." ”

Liu Qi let out an "oh", as if he believed it.

Su Zhe asked again: "Why would the eldest prince ask the lower official like this?" ”

"Ziming, don't be careful, I just heard someone in Xiangyang talk about it, saying that the Xiliang people invaded my Jingzhou for no reason, but they came to chase the Son of Heaven, so I asked you in passing." Liu Qi said with a smile.

"I see." Su Zhe nodded, but said: "I really don't hide it from the eldest prince, in fact, the lower officials were also puzzled by the unprovoked invasion of the Xiliang people, so they guessed whether it was the Son of Heaven who patrolled our Jingzhou, so he secretly sent people to search for the counties, but he did not hear any news about the Son of Heaven." ”

"Did you doubt that, too?" Liu Qi's eyes lit up.

Su Zhe smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "The Xiliang people invaded for no reason, and the lower officials guessed that someone in Xiangyang would take advantage of the topic, saying that the lower officials deliberately hid the Son of Heaven and had different intentions, but they didn't expect everything to be expected by the lower officials." ”

Su Zhe wanted to get away with it, and he took the initiative to break the suspicion that he would be suspected of first, but it dispelled a lot of Liu Qi's suspicions.

At that moment, Liu Qi lowered his voice and said with a solemn expression: "Since Ziming you confessed to me, that son also told you the truth, Xiangyang, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue and others, as you guessed, questioned you through this matter, thanks to my best to defend you, I dispelled my father's suspicion of you." ”

"If that's the case, then the lower official really has to thank the eldest prince for his trust in the lower official." Su Zhe feigned gratitude and thanked him.

Liu Qi patted Su Zhe's shoulder and said with a smile: "Between you and me, why bother to say thank you." ”

Su Zhe also smiled, pointed to the front and said: "The eldest prince, the Taishou Mansion of the lower officials has arrived, and the banquet has been prepared, so let the lower officials pay a few glasses to the eldest prince." ”

The two happily entered, chatting and laughing all the way, looking like the monarch and the minister were in harmony with each other.

Walking into the lobby, Su Xiaoxiao had already prepared a banquet, and Su Zhe invited Liu Qi into the top and sat on the side by himself.

After a few rounds of wine and polite words, Liu Qi suddenly said: "This son has a few words that I want to say to you alone with Ziming, so let these people go down first." ”

Su Zhe took away the maids who were waiting on the left and right, and retreated to the hall to wait.

Before Liu Qi could speak, Su Zhe asked with a smile: "The eldest prince is so mysterious, wouldn't it be that he wants to tell the lower officials about Miss Huang again?" ”

Being poked by Su Zhe, Liu Qi was stunned, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.

So Liu Qi coughed a few times, picked up the cup and pretended to take a sip to hide the change in his expression.

When he put down the wine glass, his expression had returned to normal, and he said lightly: "Yes, this son is trying to talk to Ziming about Miss Huang again." ”

"What does the eldest prince think, the lower officials will listen to it." Su Zhe unhurriedly picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Liu Qi's expression became serious, and he sighed: "Ziming, I might as well tell you something from my heart, do you know that I don't want to marry Cai Shu, who has a better family background, but I want to marry Huang Yueying, who is biased by the Huang family?" ”

"Could it be that the lord and the eldest prince are afraid that the Cai family is too powerful, so they want to win over Mr. Huang's family to balance and clamp down on the Cai family?" Su Zhe explained his intentions in one word.

Liu Qi was taken aback, as if he didn't expect Su Zhe to guess his mind so easily.

He didn't know that in fact, Su Zhe had already guessed his* wishful thinking when he learned that he wanted to marry Huang Yueying.

After being shocked, Liu Qi nodded and said: "Since Ziming knows my purpose for doing this, then you should know whether you can marry Huang Yueying, and how important the relationship is for me, you should know how to do it." ”

"It seems that the eldest prince still doesn't give up, and he still wants me to give Yueying to you." The corners of Su Zhe's mouth raised an imperceptible sneer.

Having said this, Liu Qi simply stopped hiding it, and said frankly: "Yes, I just want Ziming to let you give Huang Yueying to me, no, it should be said that it is for the overall situation, for our common cause, endure the pain." ”

Good one for our business.

What kind of bullshit business can there be between us, you Liu Qi from beginning to end, don't you just treat me as a horse boy you can use.

That career is just your Liu Qi's career, what does it matter to me......

Su Zhe said lightly: "Didn't Xia Guan already give the eldest prince an answer before, if Miss Huang is willing to marry the eldest prince, I, Su Zhe, will never be blocked by my face, and the eldest prince wants me to take the initiative to push Miss Huang away, then I can't do it." ”

"Su Ziming!"

Liu Qi's eyes widened, and his tone increased, "Why don't you understand, the reason why I want to marry Huang Yueying is not because I like her, but for our career!" As the so-called woman is like a dress, isn't it just a piece of clothing, what can you do if you give it to me, how many women you want in the future, no matter whether you are from a high or low background, I will give it to you, can't you take care of the overall situation! ”

"Oh, what career, what the overall situation, forgive me for being short-sighted, I can't think so far, I only know that being a man must be true to his word, since I have made a promise to Miss Huang, I must not fail her, even if the sky falls, it is none of my business."

Su Zhe used some self-talk, and in a casual tone that was diametrically opposed to Liu Qi, he rejected Liu Qi again.

"Su Zhe, you-" Liu Qi's eyes widened, and he slapped the case table.

Su Zhe smiled and said: "Don't be angry, the eldest prince is angry, it's easy to hurt your body if you're angry, come, let's drink." ”

As he spoke, Su Zhe raised his glass and did it himself first.

Liu Qi secretly clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and asked word by word: "Su Ziming, let me ask you one last time, Huang Yueying, do you let it or not!" ”

"Don't let it!"

A crisp and neat cheer echoed in the lobby, and this time, Su Zhe's tone was no longer idle and relaxed, and his tone was full of unquestionable determination.

Liu Qiru was hit hard and knocked hard, and his chest was filled with anger for a moment, and he had the urge to vomit blood.

Syllable!

He slapped the case violently, jumped up, and scolded Su Zhe: "Okay, you Su Zhe, have you forgotten my kindness to you, you dare to be ungrateful!" ”

Su Zhe frowned, he didn't expect this eldest prince Liu to be so aggressive, this is forcing him to turn his face.

Bang!

Su Zhe's wine glass also fell on the desk, and he slowly stood up, his eyes flickering with coldness, revealing a creepy murderous aura.

That look made Liu Qi shudder involuntarily.

Just when Su Zhe was about to speak, a person outside the hall stepped into the hall without passing the word, and said in a loud voice: "Master Liu, why do you repeatedly embarrass Su Lang, I can tell you clearly, even if Su Lang pushes me away, I will never marry you." ”

The eyes of the two of them looked at the door in unison, and their eyes moved at the same time.

The person who entered was Huang Yueying.

Seeing Huang Yueying's indifferent eyes and hearing her decisive words, Liu Qi instantly blushed, and a deep feeling of humiliation came to his heart.
