Chapter 11: Take the initiative

Ye Xingchen looked at the spy report in his hand and pondered silently for a long time, and the expression on his face did not change in any way, Feng Ping was a little puzzled and didn't know what the Nine Emperor Princes were planning.

"Lord Wang, how is the situation in the palace now?"

"Of course, as expected, naturally there are many people who can't hold their breath."

Ye Xingchen's calm face did not have a trace of waves, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, and it had nothing to do with himself.

"Then Lord Wang, what are we going to do next."

"Rest easy! Naturally, someone will lead us in front. ”

This time, Ye Xingchen took the initiative to attack, which caught the prince and others in the palace off guard, no one would have thought that King Rui, the prince of the Nine Emperors, who had been killed by the prince in Liyang, was the mastermind behind the scenes that made the prince and others angry.

A few days ago, the news that the Nine Emperor Princes were killed by the crown prince spread all over the streets and alleys of Chu Ye Kingdom, and the body of the Nine Emperor Princes was found in Liyang County, and the jade pendant that was found was the belongings of Ye Xingchen, the prince of Rui.

During this time, the atmosphere in the East Palace has condensed to the freezing point, and the palace people who are waiting are worried and cautious all day long, and recently their master's temper is like a fireball, and if he is not careful, he will set himself on fire and burn himself, because when this prince is not happy, their lives are as cheap as cabbage and turnips.

"Ghost, what you promised to this palace, he will die without condensation! Then why can't you be sure that he is the one who died, and how is the palace embarrassed now. ”

The prince kicked at the ghost, and his face was tense with anger, and his hideous expression seemed to swallow the trembling ghost.

"My subordinates should die, my subordinates can't be sure if the corpse was killed by my Xuanbing cold poison."

The prince was furious and kicked the ghost several times until the kneeling man vomited blood

"You are damned, if you don't have some use, this palace will send you to see the king of Hades now, go to Liyang now and continue to look for this palace, he will definitely not die so easily, except for him, no one will come up with such a vicious attention, continue to look for !!"

The ghost retreated and disappeared quietly, and the anger and annoyance in the prince's heart were not much better, and he yelled at the people in the room;

"None of them are useful, get out of the palace, get out!"

"Your Highness is angry! Don't fall into their trap, their purpose is to damage His Highness's reputation in the court, let's not mess with ourselves first,"

"Finally there's something useful, good! Zhu Hui, tell this palace, what should I do now? ”

I saw a thin and delicate-faced young man, dressed in a blue robe, slowly walking to the prince's side with a smile on his face and whispering to His Royal Highness the prince about his tricks, only to see that the prince's cloudy face finally showed a sinister smile.

The cinnabar pen in the scholar's room was not moved for a long time, and after several changes in his expression, he leaned on the dragon chair behind him a little tiredly.

Father-in-law Yu served hot tea with his quick hands, he knew that Shengshang had been in a very depressed mood recently, and he was also very cautious when serving.

The emperor was drinking hot tea but didn't know what he was thinking, and Father-in-law Yu also quietly stayed away from him, trying to make himself a transparent person. I didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the unpredictable saint's wise and decisive choice.

But there is always something unsatisfactory happening, his apprentice is blinking outside the door, hinting that he has something to report, if he doesn't go out, he is afraid that his apprentice's eyes will blink into cross-eyed.

"Master, the queen wants to see the emperor."

Father-in-law Yu bent his fat body, he knew this retribution, it was possible that the person on the dragon chair would reward him with a teacup cover, but there was no way, this was his duty.

"Your Majesty, the queen asks to see you!"

"What good things can she do, I don't see, Yu Hong, you are getting more and more eyeless, do you want to reward you with a board, um!!" Father-in-law Yu was frightened and took the order to go back to the queen.

Of course Ye Tianxiong didn't believe that his Nine Emperor Sons died so easily, and this preemptive trick might have been spread by him Jin'er.

"Your Majesty, you've been watching the recital for several hours, it's time for dinner?"

"I don't have an appetite," he looked at Grandpa Yu with a blink of an eye, but the concern in his eyes was real.

"Yu Hong, do you think Jin'er will blame me, test him like this,"

"The Nine Emperor Princes, if you are clear-minded, you will definitely understand the emperor's painstaking efforts," Yu Hong has served this person for so many years, what does he think, he probably understands seven or eight points, but the rest of the seven or eight points don't know his deep meaning, how deep the king's mind is, I'm afraid even he can't guess it.

Yu Hong, who was still stunned on the side, heard the emperor say leisurely, "Yes, my Jin'er is so smart, how can he not know Yue's intentions, but as a man of the heavenly family, father and son, king and minister, he has never been able to help himself." I don't want him to understand, I just want him not to let me down. ”

Xiaoxi and Wei have changed places of residence now, but when she thinks that her father will not come again, it can be regarded as a happier thing, not to mention that she quietly found the twenty taels of silver in the jar, and she can return to her previous life, and she is still relatively satisfied with the current situation.

It's just that Wei is a little dissatisfied, Xiaoxi also went to work in Li Ji's shop, and he is not worried about his family affairs at all, Xiaoxi is eighteen years old after his birthday this year. Those women of the same age as her are all children's mothers, and then look at Xiaoxi Chengtian dressed as a male protagonist, how to get married.

Xiao Xicai didn't put her mind on this, she just wanted to earn more money and live a good life with her mother.

For Shopkeeper Li, Xiaoxi didn't pay attention to it at all during the months of his disappearance, and he wanted to find a smart and flexible account office when he opened a new store, and Xiaoxi was undoubtedly his ideal candidate. Because Xiaoxi is still young and inexperienced, she wants to hone and hone her, so now Xiaoxi has endless accounts all day long, endless bills to read, and falls asleep every day when she is tired from work, which makes Wei's heart ache and anger, but Xiaoxi has always paid attention to her own decisions, and she will not understand Wei's troubles at all.

On this day, Xiaoxi was called by the shopkeeper as soon as he arrived at the shop, and the shopkeeper reluctantly gave Xiaoxi a roll of the eyes, and there was no way to leave his wife, so he had to find Xiaoxi to vent his anger.

"Lady, why do you have to take Xiaoxi to the play, there are a lot of girls in the family, just find one, that one is not better than this Xiaoxi,"

"I'll take Xiaoxi, I like this kid, I naturally have my intentions when I take him, you don't care, you are busy with your going."

Xiaoxi was a little embarrassed standing next to her, especially since the shopkeeper had already thrown her several rolls of the eyes just now.

"Xiaoxi, I'm going to use it in a hurry, don't make a mess, okay, I'm in a hurry to open a new store now." Dare to love Xiaoxi was planned to be treated as an object by the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper didn't listen to Shopkeeper Li's words, and kicked him out directly. The shopkeeper, who was majestic in front of his guys all day long, was actually obedient to his own lady.

"Xiaoxi, would you like to go out with me to listen to the play?"

Xiaoxi actually doesn't like to listen to dramas, most of the dramas she has seen are scholars and young women, and the dramas of beautiful women who are infatuated with talented people are all some of them that can't be eaten or used, let alone teach people the way to survive, and what she cares about most is whether she will deduct her silver if she doesn't go to the shop today.

"Xiaoxi is naturally willing, but the shopkeeper is a little unhappy today, will he deduct my salary today."

"Hahaha, you little rich slave, I didn't agree with him daring."

"Oh! That's good, that's good,"

The shopkeeper lady was a little heartbroken and happy, smiled sympathetically and lightly, looking at Xiaoxi's eyes that were as clear as a clear stream and comfortable and pleasing eyes, and a little more envy and deep meaning.

The shopkeeper took Xiaoxi to a few shops where she bought rouge gouache and bought a lot of pastries and snacks.

"Xiaoxi, tell me what else I want to buy." Seeing that the shopkeeper lady is the wife of a rich family, the pomp is a little deserted, only Xiaoxi is alone! What's more, Xiaoxi's hands are not empty, and she has already held a lot of things.

"Lady, you still have to buy it, I can't hold it anymore how much silver it costs."

The shopkeeper lady looked at Xiaoxi like that, most of them were tired of shopping, and she took some things from Xiaoxi is hand to take it herself.

"Okay, okay, I won't buy it, let's do the most important thing of the day, go to the teahouse to listen to the play."

But this time I listened to not those dramas that Xiaoxi often listened to, but the dramas that Xiaoxi had never heard of a woman dressed as a man to serve in the army for her father, and Xiaoxi couldn't help but echo and applaud with the people in the teahouse when she heard the excitement.

"Xiaoxi, is today's play good?"

"It's good-looking, thank you lady for taking me to see it," Xiaoxi said, but her eyes were looking at the stage.

"Xiaoxi, people are here to share their father's worries, so what are you for?"

Xiaoxi's eyes finally turned around at this time, a little timid and a little flustered,

"Lady, what are you talking about, Xiaoxi doesn't understand."

"Silly boy, how can you not know what I am talking about, you are so smart?"

The shopkeeper watched Xiaoxi tighten her body in a panic, gently smoothing the messy green silk of her sideburns, and Xiaoxi was afraid to hide.

"Lady, I'm a man, you're so light on me, I, I"

"Aha, I'm slighting you, how do you treat me."

Xiaoxi looked at the shopkeeper sullenly, and smiled so without scruples,

"Lady, don't laugh, the people next to me are watching, and if you insult me like this, the shopkeeper will scold me to death, and he will definitely not give me a salary increase."

Xiaoxi pretended to be stupid and filled with honest and stupid words, which made the shopkeeper laugh and slammed the table, and the tea on the table spilled out. caused the people at the next table to disdain Xiaoxi for a while, as if Xiaoxi was the little white face who came out for a private meeting with the shopkeeper lady, and Xiaoxi covered her face tightly with no place to embarrass herself.
