The aggressive tone still rings in my ears. Xie Yaoguang's eyes were cold, and he sighed deeply. What she really didn't expect was that Ye Linchen would misunderstand herself to this extent, and it was difficult for her grandfather to say that even though you can control everything, but you want to control people's hearts, you can't do it overnight, only people's hearts are the most difficult to control in the world.

However, Ye Linchen is right, and the biggest beneficiary of this game from beginning to end is himself. King Shou's favor, the county lord's gratitude and King Ding's anger, she really benefited the most from this way.

At this time, Xie Yaoguang didn't speak, Ye Linchen only thought that she was acquiescing to her guess, and seeing her cold expression, she was even more depressed and angry at the moment. couldn't help but drag Xie Yao's slender wrist in the wide sleeves through the robe, his eyes were coldly fixed on her face, and the coldness that penetrated into the bones penetrated her palm, as if she was forever covered with a layer of ice and snow.

"Xie Yaoguang!" Ye Linchen's cold voice sounded, and his eyes flashed fiercely, "Listen, I don't care how you calculate others, but there is one thing I will never allow you to calculate, such as the county lord of Jingning." Miss Xie grew up in a prosperous place, and she must have never seen the scene of starvation and death, let alone know what it means to be a soldier as a horse leather shroud, but I know that the county lord of Jingning knows even more. For her, the power disputes in the court can never match the peace of the family and the country, and if there are no soldiers who have spilled blood on the battlefield, how can you let nobles like you play with the wind and the moon in the capital and play with people's hearts. I know you think you're ruthless and don't care about doing insidious things, but I must warn you that since you've chosen me as king, you shouldn't touch my bottom line again and again to count those you shouldn't! I hope you will take my words to heart, otherwise I don't mind interrupting your cooperation with me! ”

Xie Yaoguang looked dark, and there seemed to be a dark color in his eyes, and there was a wry smile rippling in his pupils...... Very sour. It was really the first time that he had been misunderstood, and the tips of his fingers that had not been caught under his sleeve robe shrank suddenly, and the pain in his eyes became deeper and deeper. However, she was not allowed to answer, and saw the snow blade stabbing obliquely, and he didn't want to hold the blade with his hand.

Suddenly, the palm entangled in white yarn was revealed, and Ye Linchen couldn't help but see a dazzling color, the contrast between red and snow white almost burned people's eyes. Breathing is not stopped. Looking sideways in the direction where the sword came from, he saw a young man in black holding a sword, which had turned into a sword blade in the blink of an eye, but he was shocked in his eyes, obviously he didn't expect Xie Yaoguang to hold the sword with his bare hands.

"Zhuo Jing!" Xie Yaoguang frowned and reprimanded.

"Miss! What are you doing here! Zhuo Jing looked at Xie Yaoguang's blood-stained palm, and regret welled up inch by inch in his black and white eyes.

"You're not going to quit!" Xie Yaoguang withdrew his hand and raised his eyes between his sleeves, the reproach in his eyes did not decrease, "The lord is here, how can you be offended"

"But Miss, he'...... How can he ...... you"

"Okay, Zhuo Jing, don't go over the bar again. Don't hurry up yet. ”

The tone is cold and irrefutable.

Zhuo Jing indifferently put away his sword and bowed out. "The lord is above, how can you be offended" is only nine words, but it keeps echoing in my ears. Ye Linchen couldn't help but look back at Zhuo Jing, he sensed a trace of unwillingness and anger in that handsome young man, as well as endless sourness emerging from him.

"Yaoguang's discipline is not strict, and he almost hurts the lord. Please also ask Your Highness to punish you. The bitterness faded away, and in its place was still an indissolvable indifference.

"He is also the protector of the Lord, why should you be like this".

"Even my subordinates should follow the rules I have set." Xie Yaoguang raised his eyebrows inch by inch, and slowly tilted his lips, "He dares to draw his sword in front of me today, even if there is a reason, it is disloyal." ”

The speech is cold, and I can't hear any emotional ups and downs.

"What His Highness just said, Yaoguang should be kept in mind." Xie Yaoguang glanced at Ye Linchen deeply, and slowly pulled his lips, "I know that Your Highness is disgusted with all schemes, but Your Highness Yaoguang hopes that you will be clear that there must be sacrifices under peace and that the road to the emperor has always been to step on a lot of white bones to reach the end." In the face of jackals like the crown prince and King Shou, they can only survive if they are more ruthless than them. It's like the Miao people raising Gu, and the Gu worm that survives to the end is the most ferocious one. ”

Emperor Li turned a blind eye to the battle between the crown prince and King Shou, so could he not be learning from the Miao people to raise Gu. As long as it doesn't endanger the country, it doesn't matter how fierce the two bites. After all, Emperor Li also wanted to see which of the two sons was the most ferocious in the cage, and by the way, who was more suitable to inherit the throne.

The corners of Ye Linchen's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this. Comparing this kind of thing like Miao people raising Gu with the royal family's succession, such a metaphor is really rare. But what about royalty...... Cannibalism, tiger poison and child eating, killing teachers and harming friends are endless. Thinking like this, the chest is even more depressed and indignant, as if there is a cloud of turbid air blocking the chest and making people unable to breathe.

Xie Yaoguang saw the change in Ye Linchen's expression, and his tone remained unchanged and still cold and hard, "I know that His Highness is uncomfortable, but Yaoguang's methods have always been like this, and I hope Your Highness can slowly adapt to it." Your Highness, if you want to get to that position, you have to sacrifice something. ”

"I understand, Miss Xie, no matter how you deal with the crown prince Shouwang, I will not interfere, including myself, I can let Miss Xie use you. There is only one point, for those honest officials who do practical things, I hope Miss Xie can act cautiously," Ye Linchen smiled bitterly, and looked at Xie Yao's hand in his sleeve, his eyes flickered, "After all, there are not many people who want them to be so single-mindedly willing to think about the people, so you have to protect it." ”

"I also admire people like that. Naturally, I won't take advantage of it too much, but ...... I will still use one or two when necessary. I hope Your Highness will forgive me." Xie Yao smiled softly on his face, washing away all the coldness before.

"Just remember. It doesn't matter if you hurt you, how did you make yourself look like this...... Belch...... I also have some medicine for external injuries. I'll have someone bring you some? Although it may not be as expensive as the expensive wound medicine in your hand, it has a wonderful effect on trauma and is commonly used in the barracks. ”

Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang was stunned, and a fragmentary smile spread out along his eyebrows and eyes, making his face more and more brilliant. Ye Linchen's gaze, which was originally looking into the distance, couldn't help but freeze on that smiling face, and for a while, his mood was mixed, as if something was flowing all over his body, and it seemed that there were insects and ants slowly crawling over his body.

coughed lightly, moved his eyes to look elsewhere, and didn't care about anything else, picked up the tea cup and sipped the tea, so as to suppress the distracting thoughts in his heart.

Seeing Ye Linchen's strange behavior, Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but raise his head and purse his lips to look at him, and the doubts in his eyes grew heavier.

"Miss Xie, have a good rest. I'll take my leave. After that, he put down the tea and turned around and left, which was quite a sense of running away.

Xie Yaoguang hooked the corners of his lips and said slowly: "I'll send His Highness out together!" ”

Ye Linchen did not refuse, and the two walked out of the room together. saw Zhuo Jing standing by the door with a sword. A trace of helplessness slipped under Xie Yaoguang's eyes, but she still didn't stay, and she disappeared into Zhuo Jing's field of vision with Ting Liao and Ye Linchen.
