Chapter Eighty-Eight: Intentions

Chu Xiaoxiang didn't look back, he was still standing at the door, and there was a hint of coldness in his tone.

"The empress actually knows that the four kingdoms are not peaceful now, so she should watch and help each other, instead of taking this opportunity to make some excessive demands, which doesn't seem to be beneficial to everyone."

The empress's face was slightly ugly, but in the end she didn't say anything, and when the people were gone, she sighed leisurely in the room, with a flickering light in her eyes, and then hooked the corners of her lips, as if she thought it was more interesting.

After Chu Xiaoxiang went back, he picked up the tea on the table and drank two sips, then put down the cup, gasped for two breaths, and felt a little depressed for a while, but he didn't expect the empress to have such a thought, which really made people feel a little dirty.

Mu Xun saw his expression beside him, a little unhappy, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"What's wrong with you? Didn't you go to a banquet? When I came back, I didn't seem to be very happy, but it could be that something unpleasant happened at the banquet. ”

"There are no unpleasant things, but I found that everyone in the palace of Yue Kingdom is very interesting, the empress herself looks like a person who is greedy for beauty, but in fact she is like an old fox, I don't know what he is calculating, as for her daughters are abandoned, the prince doesn't know what it is like now, but the second princess is obviously an impulsive and irritable person, and the third princess is a smiling tiger."

Mu Xun didn't say anything when he heard this, and turned to another thing, just now when he was in contact with the officials of the Yue Kingdom, he heard about one thing, and heard the officials of their Yue Kingdom say that the empress wants to marry the two countries, which is to marry the four princes to their princess's mansion.

"I heard that the Empress of Yue intends to match you with the four princes, I don't know what you think of this matter."

Chu Xiaoxiang stretched out his hand and brushed his hair, thinking secretly in his heart, this matter has already passed, but it is not easy to say if he really cares about it, this fourth prince is more interesting than the others, he can get such useful news in advance, and he looks weak on the surface, but his actual ability is very strong.

"This is the prince, there is a bit of a feeling of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, anyway, he is not an easy person to deal with, the secret hidden in this Yue country is really getting bigger and bigger, originally we wanted the empress of Yue to assist us in investigating the secret things in the capital of Ji Guoguo, what is going on, and we also want to find out who caused the crisis in these four countries."

Chu Xiaoxiang whispered a few words, obviously afraid that the wall had ears, in case it was heard by others, it would not be a good thing for them, although everyone knew that their purpose in coming to Yue Country was not pure.

"Judging from the current situation, it may not be easy for us to hear these news clearly, but we can eat, drink and have fun here in the near future, anyway, the people of this country have a good attitude towards us now."

Chu Xiaoxiang thought of the news that the fourth prince told him, and immediately told Mu Xun about it.

"If the remaining two countries marry, it will not be good news for us, these two countries are already strong, among which the wind country is dominated by salt and iron, if the two countries join forces and win the army, we are not opponents at all, could it be that they want to unify the four countries?"

The longer Chu Xiaoxiang came to this continent, the more he felt that many things on this continent were very interesting, no one expected that at the end of the world, there was such a big road hidden, and he and Helian Chen came here by mistake, but in the current situation, no matter what, the most important thing is to persuade the queen to agree to cooperate with them, which is safer for them Ji Guo.

"I have used the spies to send the news back, I believe that these news will soon reach the attached middle school, and when the time comes, my father will tell the emperor the truth about this matter."

Mu Xun was also a little worried about this matter, and when he first heard the news, he felt a little incredulous, but what the other party said was conclusive, and this kind of thing would rather be credible than credible, because once this matter is left, the two countries will really join forces, which will be a huge threat to them.

Mu Xun's eyes flickered slightly, and then he didn't say anything more, the most important thing now is to listen to the news of the fourth prince, whether it is true or not, Chu Xiaoxiang suddenly thought of Ye Yuntian now, if Ye Yuntian is here, he will definitely be able to know the truth of these news, after all, he is the pavilion master of Tianji Pavilion.

"Where did you say Ye Yuntian went? When I didn't like him before, he used to stick to me, but now that I need him, he is gone, which is an important thing, and I am going to check with him. ”

Helian Chen didn't say anything, just slowly hooked the corners of his lips, and a leisurely voice with a few smiles in this life sounded outside the window, and I saw Ye Yuntian sitting on the windowsill, with a hint of light in his eyes.

"Now I know, I think of me, but I was disgusted at the beginning, is it possible that now I recognize my true heart, and I still like it, so you want to reconcile with me."

You just hear him say that, and you can't help but roll your eyes, thinking that he is really a little brazen.

"When will the two of us get better, why don't I know about this matter, you came back just in time, you went out to do the affairs of Tianji Pavilion during this time, and now I want to buy news for you."

"Say, what news do you want to get, the Benge Lord is in a good mood today, as long as you want to know, I can tell you for free, but only one."

Chu Xiaoxiang secretly cursed the profiteer in his heart, thought about it, and immediately asked whether the news that the fourth prince said was true or false, this news was more important.

"This news is not fake, the two countries intend to marry, but the specific regulations have not yet been clarified, but it is not so easy for people from these two countries to want to marry, after all, they are a combination of interests, and there must be interests to follow from it, I heard that the two countries are negotiating, whether it can succeed or not is not certain."

Hearing Ye Yuntian's news, Chu Xiaoxiang was temporarily relieved, after all, whether this matter was successful or not, it was not certain, now she couldn't mess with herself, she could only wait for the news.

However, Ye Yuntian also brought another piece of news, I heard that there was a plague in the north of Yue Country, and now it is spreading rapidly, and soon there will be chaos in Yue Country.

"I'm coming back quickly this time, and I want to tell you that it's best to take this opportunity to leave quickly, otherwise when the plague spreads, it won't be easy to leave, and other results will definitely be closed, so as to prevent this plague from continuing to spread."

Chu Xiaoxiang felt a little strange, it was not easy to have a plague in this season, after all, this is not spring but summer, and this plague is a bit too uncoincidental, I don't know if it is a real plague or man-made.

"Even if we want to leave now, it is estimated that it will be difficult, the imperial brother sent us out this time to investigate this matter, and we have not found out yet, and we have not reached a joint alliance with the empress of the Yue Kingdom, even if we want to leave at this time, it is estimated that it will not be easy."

Ye Yuntian shook his head, feeling that there was something wrong with his idea, but he didn't say anything, took out a small bag from his arms, and put it in front of him.

"This time it was a coincidence that I met the Holy Maiden and specially brought you this thing, and he bought a message from my hand and exchanged this antidote pill with me."

"Can this kind of thing really remove all kinds of poisons? Who is this saint you are talking about? I've never heard of it. ”

"Don't you know this? The other party is a person from the rivers and lakes, and it is normal for you to grow up in the palace and not know. ”

Chu Xiaoxiang didn't say anything more when he heard this, just went back to his room to continue to rest, and early the next morning, earth-shaking changes took place in the palace of Yueguo, I heard that it was the plague in the north, and the news had already been spread, and the empress had already learned about it, and directly ordered the city gate to be closed, and also sent people over to control the development of this plague.

You must know that such a thing as plague can be terrifying, because if it is not done well, it will cause a country and a city to become a dead city.

At noon that day, there was an unexpected guest here in the palace, and when he saw the four princes, Chu Xiaoxiang frowned, not understanding what the other party came over again.

"The fourth prince is not staying in the palace, how can he suddenly come to me when he is free, could it be that there is something important to discuss with me?"

"I do have an important matter to discuss with you, the last time I told you in the palace, how did you think about the two of us joining forces?"

Chu Xiaoxiang flattened his head to the side, he didn't expect him to give up, but he didn't think that his charm was so great, so he became more and more curious, what did this fourth prince want to do? Looking at his appearance, he definitely doesn't want to marry himself willingly, or that marrying himself can allow him to take this opportunity to do something, driven by interests.

"I'm curious about one thing, why do you have to be with me? What is the purpose of marrying me, or what benefits can you get out of it? ”

"The identity of the princess is the best guarantee, and with the identity of the princess, I can rescue the prince."

Chu Xiaoxiang didn't expect that his purpose was to rescue the prince, but he felt that there was something wrong with this matter, if it was really just like this, there was no need to spend so much effort at all.

"Your purpose is just to rescue the prince, so if you find evidence that the prince did not imitate, you can naturally relieve him of the trouble, isn't this method a little more concise?"

He was silent and silent, as if in deep thought.
