Chapter 480: Secret lurking
Things began to develop according to Chenguang's predictions.
After Yan Ying went to the Chiyang Country Post House to negotiate strongly, although the Chiyang Emperor killed the generals who ordered the students of the Cangqiu Kingdom, the friendly relations between the Chiyang Kingdom and the Cangqiu Kingdom also collapsed. Emperor Chiyang angrily announced that the Chiyang Kingdom and the Cangqiu Kingdom had severed diplomatic relations, and led the Chiyang Kingdom delegation to leave Yicheng and set off for China without saying a word of greeting.
As soon as the Chiyang Kingdom left, there was no need for other countries to stay any longer.
The second to leave was Long Xiguo.
Shen Run didn't say goodbye to Chenguang.
After the two had a complete unpleasant relationship before, they never saw each other again, and they lived in the same area, obviously not far away.
It's not so much that Shen Run is angry at Chenguang's arrogance and indiscretion, but when he learns Chenguang's true thoughts, when Chenguang punctures the exaggerated intimacy between the two, he doesn't know how to get along with her. When two people are together, they are no longer intimate and pleasant, they are no longer relaxed, and if they continue to meet in this atmosphere, they will only become more and more unpleasant. So after hesitating again and again, Shen Run still decided not to see the morning light, and led the Long Xiguo delegation to leave on his own.
He wanted to stop and cool down. This is not what he means to give up this relationship with Chenguang, he thinks, first pause, let both parties think calmly, let this stalemate be diluted by time, this is the best way to deal with the relationship between the two of them.
Chenguang sat on the Guixiang Tower, holding his cheeks, and quietly watched as Long Xiguo's envoy passed through the long street and left Yicheng.
Shen Run was sitting in the carriage, and she didn't see his face, so after the gorgeous carriage drove by, she lost interest. She withdrew her gaze, no longer looked at the team behind her, took her chopsticks, poked the honey ham in front of her for a while, and flattened her lips slightly.
Si Qi stood aside, looking at His Highness's white and tender little face flashing a trace of unhappiness, and couldn't help but look at Huo Wu. The fire dance was peaceful, and he didn't say a word. Si Qi knew that Huo Wu was the most calm, so he looked at Si Ba who was standing on the other side of her. Sure enough, Si Ba couldn't hide her expression or words, she looked indignant, and said to Chenguang who poked the ham with her flat lips:
"Your Highness, that Emperor Longxi doesn't know what to do, the more tolerant His Highness is to him, the more arrogant he becomes, as if His Highness has no one else but him, His Highness simply doesn't want him. Otherwise, His Highness really likes him, so he simply knocked him unconscious and snatched him up and locked him up, so as to save him from always making His Highness angry! ”
Chenguang was slightly stunned and looked at her in surprise: "Huh? ”
Looking at her confused expression, it was Si Ba's turn to look confused.
"Isn't Your Highness angry because Emperor Long Xi left without even saying hello to His Highness?" Si Qi asked suspiciously.
"I'm not angry."
"Then why is Your Highness unhappy?" Si Bahu asked suspiciously.
Chenguang poked the honey ham on the plate with the tip of his chopsticks, and said disgustedly: "This honey ham has too much salt." ”
Division 7, Division 8: "......"
However, this answer made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief, they were very afraid that His Highness would be sad because of a man, in their opinion, His Highness's burden was too heavy, and it was better to be heartless than sad.
"Your Highness," Si Qi thought about it, and stopped talking a little, but in the end she still asked the question in her heart, "For Emperor Longxi, what does His Highness think now, does His Highness still want to fulfill the marriage contract with Emperor Longxi?" ”
Chenguang poked the honey ham with the tip of her chopsticks, and when she heard the words, she laughed loudly, she looked at Si Qi and said:
"Xiao Qi, you can tame beasts, when you tamed beasts, did you use the sweetness you always gave to make the beasts obey you?"
"No, I'll beat you half to death first, and then give sweetness." Si Qi replied.
The morning light hooked her lips, smiled softly and glutinously, and after a pause, she said:
"You should all know, tomorrow the mission of the Phoenix Netherworld will leave for China, this time Xiao Shi will go back instead of me, I have a hunch that something will happen, Xiao Shi should be careful. The rest ......"
She glanced at each of the five maids' faces.
"Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba followed Xiao Shi back, and after they went back, they kept an eye on Si Yujin, and Xiao Wu and Xiao Jiu followed me to stay."
Si Jiu was stunned for a moment, a little surprised. For a long time, when only two of the five maids were needed, His Highness would usually leave the fire dance, and the remaining one would generally choose one of the seven and eight divisions. Si Shi is because he needs to pretend to be His Highness, and Si Shi's ability to imitate His Highness is extremely powerful, and no one can compare. Si Jiu knew that her appearance was terrifying, Xuanli was the weakest, not as good as others, and her daily service was not as neat and careful as Si Qi Si Ba, although sometimes she would envy Si Qi and Si Ba, but she never expected that she would become the one chosen by His Highness.
This time she was chosen to stay, and she was flattered and a little apprehensive at the same time. Her first reaction was whether His Highness knew something, and when she looked at Huo Wu, Huo Wu's expression was calm, which made her slightly hanging heart let go. She was so happy that even the stiff half of her face, which was half covered by black hair, was much more relaxed.
The morning light caught the fleeting joy on Si Jiu's face, she withdrew her eyes, and her heart sank.
She was silent for a while, then raised her eyes again, and looked at the Long Xiguo delegation and walked over, leaving only the long street of lively onlookers.
In fact, she was still a little annoyed, although this annoyance was not strong, but she knew that this annoyance existed in the bottom of her heart.
She suddenly said indignantly in her heart: "Xiao Run, you'd better be careful, if you make me angry, if you make me angry, I'm going to hate you, if you make me hate you, I'll make you an orange!" ”
After a moment's pause, she rejoiced again, but she still didn't eat the plate of honey-glazed ham that had been over-salted.
The next day, Chenguang went to bid farewell to Empress Dowager Gu and prepared to leave for China. Gu Pan's expression was faint and a little stiff, probably because he was still resentful of Chenguang's refusal to help, which led to the final severance of diplomatic relations between Chiyang Kingdom and Cangqiu Kingdom.
Chenguang ignored her cold face.
After the Chiyang Kingdom and the Longxi Kingdom, the Fengying Kingdom mission was the third to set off, leaving Yicheng and returning to China.
Si Shi took the phoenix chariot back to China instead of Chenguang.
Chenguang quietly returned to Yicheng after leaving the city, and lived in a simple three-entry courtyard under Changxi's pseudonym, eating, drinking, and sleeping in the room every day, just waiting for the situation in Yicheng to change.
After the last Yanyun Kingdom mission left, another month passed, and the situation in Yicheng really changed as Chenguang guessed, but the person who had changed was not Yan Ying as she thought, but the general Gu Shun Gu who was sick at home because he offended the Empress Dowager Gu and King Sakura at the Five Kingdoms.
