The man stopped when he heard this, "Miss Su misunderstood, I didn't come to find Master Su."

Although he didn't move, his eyes were looking in the direction of Xie Yaoguang, and when he met Xie Yaoguang's cold gaze, he couldn't help but froze. After being stunned for a while, his eyes turned to Ting Liao, who was standing quietly on the side, and found that he was safe and sound, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ting'er, are you okay?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine," Ting Liao replied obediently.

"Miss Su, if it was Tingliao who bumped into your distinguished guest. Look at my thin face and don't bother with him. I asked Ting Liao to accompany this distinguished guest. The man gathered his mind and said with a straight face.

"You probably misunderstood something, Ting Liao didn't rush us. We just saw that he had injuries on his body, so we took him back to the doctor to have a look," Xie Yaoguang, who had been silent for a long time, spoke slowly, and her cold voice was like a cold winter wind, covering all her emotions towards the visitor.

Seeing this, Su Wan suppressed his doubts, and hurriedly stepped forward to block Xie Yaoguang and introduced with a smile: "Your Highness, this is Miss Xie Yaoguang Xie"

The fourth son of the emperor, Ding Wang Ye Linchen, is about twenty-four years old this year, compared to the crown prince and King Shou or other princes, he only feels that he looks more heroic, in addition to being extravagant, but quite the style of the ancestors of the calendar. Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a pair of phoenix eyes are extremely good-looking. Hearing Su Wan's introduction to Xie Yaoguang, he didn't say much, just nodded slightly in return.

Xie Yaoguang raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "I didn't know how offensive His Royal Highness King Ding was just now, please forgive me."

Su Wan was about to speak, when someone from the house came to report that the master was back.

Xie Yaoguang's heart moved, and he said: "You go to Su Hou Ye to say goodbye, I have nothing to do, I just have something I want to ask His Royal Highness King Ding."

"......"

"Okay, I guess His Royal Highness won't embarrass me, right? The left and right are just some things about the Xie family's business," Xie Yaoguang stared at Ye Linchen, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly.

Ye Linchen looked at Xie Yaoguang suspiciously, and couldn't figure out her thoughts for a while, so he had to nod in agreement. Although it was said that she rescued Ting Liao, but she couldn't keep her purpose, although Huang Fuling told him several times that this Xie Yaoguang didn't look like a bad person, Ye Linchen still couldn't rest assured. After all, Ting Liao's identity is too special, Ye Linchen doesn't dare to take this risk.

"Then I'll go" Su Wan stopped and turned his head and said, "Yaoyao, if you have any difficulties, wouldn't it be better to find King Shou and the crown prince?" ”

When the words fell, Ye Linchen's eyes suddenly swept coldly, and Xie Yaoguang, who had a gentle face, reprimanded: "I didn't expect Miss Xie to know them."

Xie Yaoguang smiled as if he hadn't heard it: "There are some problems with the Xie family's business in Yanmen, I need to ask something." This favor can only be helped by His Royal Highness King Ding."

Su Wan left. Xie Yaoguang didn't care that Ye Linchen was still there, and instructed Suzaku and Zhuo Jing to guard the entire courtyard tightly, if someone trespassed and stopped directly outside the courtyard, those who trespassed would be killed. Then he led Ye Linchen into the room and reflexively locked the door.

led Ye Linchen into the seat, saw that the other party was still looking at him with a cold face, sighed helplessly, personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ye Linchen and said, "Even if you are hostile to me, you don't have to be like this. Please use tea."

Ye Linchen just took a sip, but suddenly choked, and frowned: "Ahem...... This is something."

"Ah, that's the medicinal tea I drink on weekdays" Looking at Ye Linchen's expression, Xie Yaoguang suddenly laughed, his expression quite pleasant.

Ye Linchen, who had been relieved for a long time, looked suspicious, and his eyes flashed: "Miss Xie shouldn't be looking for me for Yanmen's business, right?" ”

"What you need to think about now is not this matter, but how you want to explain it, for the sake of a criminal slave of the court, trespassing into the Hou Mansion. "Xie Yaoguang raised his lips and smiled leisurely: "I think this child's identity is not simple."

"Entrusted by men, loyal to people"

"I have a good business, I don't know if Your Highness is willing to do this business with me" Xie Yaoguang raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I can provide a suitable identity for Ting Liao, at least I can ensure that he can walk in the world"

The voice is soft but seductive. Xie Yaoguang thinks that he has the ability to penetrate people's hearts, but she doesn't know what Ye Linchen thinks in her heart. As long as the conditions are sufficient, no matter how much Ye Linchen doesn't know how to be flexible, I am afraid that he will not refuse such conditions. To know...... Ting Liao's identity may be the biggest taboo in the palace.

"What do you want to know?" Ye Linchen closed his eyes and hesitated for a while before speaking, paused for a while, and then said coldly: "I can tell you this, but Miss Xie, can you tell me why you came to save Ting Liao?" ”

"What I want to know is the identity of Ting Liao, you and the people around you have gone to great lengths to maintain Ting Liao. Thinking that he must be not an ordinary person" Xie Yaoguang smiled and raised his eyebrows enchantingly: "As for my reason, Ting Liao's qualifications are very good, and he is in love with me, and I want to accept him as an apprentice." ”

This may sound far-fetched, but it is believable. The eyes of the two fell on Ting Liao, who was reading a book in the courtyard at the same time.

"I have a relationship with his father...... His father was an old friend of mine. unjustly died at the hands of traitorous ministers, and the young son suffered an unjustified disaster" Ye Linchen took a deep breath and sighed: "If Miss Xie can really get rid of the current life for Ting Liao, I ...... Thanksgiving"

"Let me guess...... Ting Liao must be the widow of the late King Qin," Xie Yaoguang raised his lips and sneered lightly, "As far as I know, you and King Qin have a deep relationship...... You"

Ye Linchen's eyes condensed slightly when he heard this, his lips tightened, and the hands hanging on his sides couldn't help but clench into fists.

The throat is getting more and more dry.

Sensing the strong killing intent, Xie Yaoguang was rather helpless and covered the gloomy color in his eyes.

"How taboo he is in his heart today, you must know better than I do! You have a deep relationship with him, even at the expense of confronting him after his death, so that he was rejected for a time...... Lingering at the border" Xie Yaoguang looked at Ye Linchen, smiled lightly, and pierced his heart with an arrow: "Your Highness, you can't protect him alone." ”

Ye Linchen stood up suddenly, grabbed Xie Yaoguang's hand and pushed her to the side. Xie Yaoguang fell backwards and hit the edge of the table with his waist, before he could react. Ye Linchen stepped forward, staring at Xie Yaoguang with a cold expression, and his tone did not carry any warmth, "What the hell are you...... Who is it?"

Ting Liao's identity is a taboo in the palace, if His Majesty is aware of Ting Liao's true identity. Let people go to the palace to investigate, Ting Liao will definitely fall into a dangerous situation, and all the previous efforts will be wasted. He is also sorry for his dead brother.

"I've never been friends with either of them, and it's so big in the palace...... With my ability, it's not difficult to find out some secrets," Xie Yaoguang smiled self-deprecatingly: "The two of them just want to recruit me." You should know about the fact that I won the Imperial Yan in Hanshan Temple that day. The phoenix follows its fate, and if you get it, you can win the world"

"You want to be the queen? So you deliberately made up the matter of the emperor's swallow sign, and even began to collect some secret things in the court."

"Heh, Your Highness has misunderstood. I'm not interested in the queen's position," Xie Yaoguang paused for a while and raised his eyebrows and continued: "The reason why I did this is just to give the Xie family a chance, a chance to learn from the dragon's work. And I want to be the first female minister in the calendar, so maybe I can enjoy the Taimiao in the future and live for a hundred years? People are always ambitious...... Even I am no exception. Besides, of course, a businessman like me is more profit-oriented."

Ye Linchen's eyes were cold, and the chill in his voice was deep: "Then Miss Xie has thought about who to choose?" ”

Xie Yaoguang looked at Ye Linchen and said in his ear, "I want to choose you, His Royal Highness the King."

Ye Linchen looked at Xie Yaoguang, who was like an orchid under him, and sneered undeniably, with a somewhat sad expression: "Hahahahaha...... Choose me? Miss Xie, you're not confused! I am just a powerless prince, and my mother is just a concubine, not even a relative. I only deal with rough people in the military, and I don't have any connections in the six departments of the three provinces of the DPRK and China. If you choose me, you may not be able to achieve your wishes."

Ye Linchen pulled Xie Yaoguang up, and his cold face was a little more apologetic. Xie Yaoguang looked at the change in the expression on Ye Linchen's face, and said leisurely: "What you said is indeed good, it's just that good birds choose trees to perch." Besides, the more you are like this, the more capable I am, isn't it? ”

"Aren't the crown prince and King Shou a good wood?"

"Yes or no, it doesn't matter. Importantly, Your Highness, do you really want to see one of the two of them ascend to the supreme throne? Don't you want to be in that position?"

Ye Linchen was stunned and secretly gritted the root of his teeth. That position is extremely tempting for many ordinary people. What's more, thinking about a prince like him, how could he not have thought about that position. Although he wanted to, he didn't make it his goal in life. If he could stop the crown prince from ascending to that position, he would be willing to pay any price.

"If I can successfully save Ting Liao this time, then I will be regarded as me...... cough cough cough ...... Before he finished speaking, Xie Yaoguang suddenly coughed violently, and at first he seemed to be able to barely suppress the coughing sound, but after a while, he could see her chest rise and fall violently, and then cough like an explosion, and her whole body was even almost convulsive because of the trembling.

Ye Linchen subconsciously supported Xie Yaoguang's trembling body, and couldn't help but be stunned when his hand touched Xie Yaoguang's hand. These hands were cold, and I didn't feel a trace of warmth. Beads of sweat ran down her forehead, and she could be seen to be in pain. But his body was cold. If he hadn't felt Xie Yaoguang's pulse beating, he would have almost thought that he was touching a corpse.

Xie Yaoguang's hand tightly grasped Ye Linchen's arm, and he said weakly, "His Royal Highness the King of Labor and Ding, help Yaoguang sit on the couch" raised his hand and pointed to the beauty couch under the window.

Ye Linchen just helped Xie Yaoguang sit down. Xie Yaoguang suddenly pushed Ye Linchen away, covered his mouth with a silk handkerchief and coughed again. Ye Linchen watched Xie Yaoguang's movements, and didn't know how to speak for a while. After a while, Xie Yaoguang removed the silk handkerchief from his mouth and rolled it into his sleeve skillfully.

"His Royal Highness King Ding, rescuing Ting Liao will be regarded as a welcome gift for me to take refuge in you" Xie Yaoguang found a comfortable position and leaned on the couch and wrapped the fox fur tightly. Her lazy tone made Ye Linchen's whole heart twist: "I think you should really want to rescue Ting Liao." After all, this is the widow of the person you respect the most."

"Are you really that sure?"

"Hmm"

"But even so, what you want. I won't necessarily give it to you, and I won't give you much honor. ”

"Oh, what. I'm a businessman, I don't care about the process or the final result, I care about whether this thing can get the most out of me. Besides, if I don't have the greatest certainty, how can I negotiate terms with you" Xie Yaoguang smiled and looked at Ye Linchen with a soft expression: "I think Your Royal Highness, you will definitely not kill heroes indiscriminately..."

Ye Linchen carefully looked at Xie Yaoguang in front of him. He had read countless people, but it was the first time he had seen such an ambitious woman. Such a woman is really a little incomprehensible. Ye Linchen pursed his lips and fell into deep thought, he couldn't tell whether Xie Yaoguang's words were true or false, but looking at her demeanor and tone, it didn't seem like she would deceive. If she was sent by the crown prince and King Shou to spy on his mind, it would be a bit of a fuss. If he wanted to fully trust Xie Yaoguang, he couldn't do it. But the condition of rescuing Ting Liao is too tempting............ He......

"Your Highness, it's not too early, have you thought it through?"

Ye Linchen finally gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind: "Okay, I promise you." As long as you can make those two people lose the throne."

"Your Highness has made up your mind?"

"Yes"

"Your Highness is not enough to have this mind, you have to make the fight for the throne your goal. You have to know what kind of opponent you're up against. Once you embark on the road to succession, there is no turning back, have you thought about it carefully, Your Highness? Xie Yaoguang's eyes were cold, and his tone was cold: "The strength of the crown prince and King Shou, I think Your Highness knows in your heart that between the three of you, there will only be one success." Although you are not in good condition, I will do my best to help you"

Ye Linchen snorted coldly: "Miss Xie, are these words going to swear allegiance to this king?" ”

"Yes, the country is for you, my heart and you say"

Ye Linchen's gaze swept over Xie Yaoguang's wrist outside the fox fur, and he caught a glimpse of the red marks on his wrist. Ye Linchen said sorry in a low voice. Xie Yaoguang didn't pay attention to him, but closed his eyes and looked tired.

Seeing this, Ye Linchen didn't say anything more, so he summoned Ting Liao and asked him to say thank you to Xie Yaoguang. I simply walked out of the guest house. When Ye Linchen walked out of the courtyard gate, Xie Yaoguang opened his eyes and looked at Ye Linchen's back as he walked away, his eyes flickered, and a drop of crystal light slipped down the corner of his eye.

"Miss, you were coughing up blood again?" Suzaku walked in from outside the house and saw the blood-stained silk handkerchief falling to the ground.

"I'm fine, Suzaku went to inform Bai Lu and them. Let her arrange for someone to sneak into the post house to get close to Beiyan and Xidi's envoys" Xie Yaoguang rubbed his eyebrows and looked tired: "Warm up the earth dragon, you can go find Bailu"

Suzaku leaned over to receive the order. According to Xie Yaoguang's instructions, he burned the earth dragon in the house, looked back at Xie Yaoguang, who seemed to have fallen asleep, and put a little soothing incense into the incense burner. Gently closed the door, and invited the maids of the Su Mansion outside the courtyard to guard the house before leaving the Hou Mansion.

In the house, Xie Yaoguang took out a nine-link ring from between his sleeves and played with it in his hand, the nine-link was covered with cracks and looked very old. Fiddling with the Nine Rings, Xie Yao's light beads revealed a trace of coldness in her pupils, although she knew very well that Ye Linchen's conditions were not good, and she could even say that she was ...... Useless. I am afraid that it will only be more difficult to choose a person like him, but in addition to choosing Ye Linchen, the other two people will never achieve the goal they want.

Good birds choose trees to perch on...... And the path she wants to take is destined to be only in the company of darkness, and ordinary people may not be able to understand why she wants to go. The road to be walked in the dark night, it is good to be alone.
