As soon as Wang Jiaofan heard the guards say that the eldest young master was back, she jumped up from the chair excitedly.

He asked eagerly: "When did the eldest young master come back, where is the person now, hurry up and take me there." ”

The guard hesitated, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Wang Jiaofan saw that he didn't speak, so he urged him several times. It was only in the third pass that the guards hesitated to lead the way.

At the dinner table, only Ye Yugui and Liu Xiaorou were left, and as soon as Wang Jiaofan left, Liu Xiaorou put down the chopsticks in her hand. and Ye Yugui began to talk about the books they had read.

But no matter what kind of book, as long as Liu Xiaorou proposes it, Ye Yugui will definitely read it.

After this conversation, her good impression of Ye Yugui has skyrocketed, and the men she has come into contact with on weekdays are not few, but this kind of knowledge is definitely the first one.

"Cousin, will you come again in the future?"

"I have a lot of things to do in the palace, and I rarely have time to go out of the palace. But if your cousin comes to me, I'll spare time with you. ”

When Liu Xiaorou heard this, she smiled coquettishly and took Ye Yugui's arm: "Anyway, cousin, you won't return to the palace until at least tomorrow, I'll take you around, I think my mother just took you around." ”

Ye Yugui just let her carry it, but his eyes were calm without the slightest wave

Here, Wang Jiaofan was led by the guards to the door of the house where Liu Xiaorui usually lived.

Wang Jiaofan couldn't wait to open the door, Liu Xiaorui left the letter before and disappeared without a trace, she has sent people to look for it in the past few months, but there has been no news. It's just that some people say that the last time they saw Liu Xiaorui, they found that he was with a tall man.

She wanted to investigate the man, but she only had someone else's words, and looking for someone was undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.

At first, she was just angry, but after a few months, she became more and more worried, worried that Liu Xiaorui would have any accidents, after all, this child has been pampered by her since he was a child.

But when I opened the door, there was no human figure except for some boxes that had been turned over.

Wang Jiaofan grabbed the guard next to him: "What about people?" Where is the eldest young master? ”

"The eldest young master did come back before, but then he took some things and left again."

"Do I want you to be a furnishing in this house? Why don't you stop the eldest young master. ”

The guard was speechless, and only whispered for a long time: "The eldest young master said that if anyone dares to stop him, he will be called good-looking, and the eldest young master has a man by his side, and that man is very powerful, and we can't get close to him." ”

"Waste, a bunch of waste! Next time, if the eldest young master comes back, even if he kidnaps you, I have to let him stay here honestly. ”

Wang Jiaofan's anger and blood surged straight to his head, and when he entered the house, he took a closer look, and found that Liu Xiaorui just took some clothes and a silver ticket. There was also a piece of paper left under the box.

The paper read, "My son is fine, don't worry." ”

Wang Jiaofan held the piece of paper, so angry that she couldn't even speak.

When it was almost time for dinner, Liu Shang returned from the palace in the dust.

Wang Jiaofan went up to greet him, but he never said anything about Liu Xiaorui's return today.

If Liu Shang knew that Liu Xiaorui was back and gone, he would have to be angry.

After a day of getting along, the people in Liufu have a good impression of Ye Yugui, he is not at all like the rumors, I thought he would be a dark character, but it turned out to be very funny, kind and can talk to anyone.

During dinner, Wang Jiaofan specially asked Ye Yugui's taste before ordering the kitchen.

Dinner was not as simple and casual as lunch, but sumptuous and sumptuous, with more than two dozen dishes neatly arranged on a large mahogany round table. The slightest hint of heat makes you look appetizing.

People say that although Liu Shang doesn't like luxury, he is famous for his finesse in some small things, just like the dishes on this table, although there are many types, they are all very fine.

After Ye Yugui tasted two bites, he found that the dishes were really delicious, and they were not inferior to those made by the best imperial chefs in the palace.

Liu Xiaorou saw that Ye Yugui was eating very slowly, and hurriedly asked gently, "Cousin, is the food still the same as the appetite?" The population in our house is a little light, I'm afraid you won't be used to it. ”

Liu Shang coughed, glanced at Liu Xiaorou, and said in a deep voice: "Eat without saying anything." ”

Liu Xiaorou pursed her lips, sat upright and didn't dare to speak again, but still looked at Ye Yugui expectantly.

Ye Yugui smiled at her and nodded, and Liu Xiaorou was relieved.

Wang Jiaofan watched from the sidelines, her heart was like a mirror, she happened to come out Liu Xiaorou is interested in Ye Yu. And Ye Yugui obviously likes Liu Xiaorou very much.

But also, in her eyes, although her daughter is a little rude and willful, it is normal, after all, she is delicate and reads poetry and books. There is no reason why a man would not like it.

It seems that this family affair is completely completed, and the next step is to let Ye Yu return to Liufu to ask for marriage, and then choose a good day and an auspicious day to do the big thing.

Liu Shang also kept looking at Ye Yugui during the meal, he looked like he was strong and well-mannered, but he couldn't like him at all.

He has been an official for decades, and he has seen a lot of people, although Ye Yu is very deep in Tibet, but he can still vaguely see the pursuit of power in his eyes.

If he had been twenty years ago, he would never have bothered to participate in the battle for the prince, but now that he is old, and his son is unconscious, he is basically regarded as having no successor. If he didn't think about the rest of the Liu family, he wouldn't be blind to death. So now we have to make a choice.

Several people quickly finished dinner, and after drinking half a cup of strong tea, Liu Shang cleared his throat and invited Ye Yu to his study.

In the study, Liu Shang couldn't see his expression clearly with his back to Ye Yugui, and said directly: "What does the Seventh Prince think of the throne." ”

Liu Shang's purpose in asking this was also to be more aware of Ye Yugui's personality, he had only learned from the queen's mouth before, and he couldn't do it.

Ye Yugui bowed his head slightly and said, "Does Lord Liu want to hear the truth or lies?" ”

"Nature is the truth." Liu Shang didn't think about it and said directly.

"Since Lord Liu wants to hear the truth, then I will tell the truth. Now you may think that I am just a substitute for the third prince after his death, and the queen was forced to find me out of desperation, but I have been thinking about the throne since many years ago. ”

Liu Shang frowned when he heard this: "Nonsense, you are still so young now, how can you be just a hairy kid who didn't understand anything a few years ago and have any thoughts about the throne." ”

It is not unreasonable for Liu Shang to say this, Ye Yugui was just a little-known prince a few years ago, and he mentioned him except to give people the impression of a disaster star. Recently, because he followed the crown prince, he gradually became well-known to the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Ye Yugui raised the corner of his eyes slightly, glanced at the back of Liu Shang's head, then lifted a chair and sat down slowly, and said in a deep voice: "I believe that Lord Liu should know that I was locked up in my palace since I was a child, and I was not released until I was a teenager. You should know that my father usually values the so-called prophecies of those Taoist priests the most, and why do you think I can come out. ”

Liu Shang turned around and looked down at Ye Yugui, who was looking up at him, he was clear about the emperor's problem, although he was very strategic in his thinking on weekdays, he also studied these sideways.

He also knew what happened when the Seventh Prince was born at that time, and the emperor had always been very jealous of these things, so even if the Seventh Prince was the son of the queen, he avoided it directly without the slightest mercy.

Ye Duanli's love for the eldest princess has a large part, and it also comes from the prophecy of the national teacher after her birth. Two different prophecies also determine the fate of the two people in the future.

Then Ye Yugui and Liu Shang explained the drought at that time, and the depth of their understanding was convincing.

"So you wrote the drought-fighting Dafa at that time!" Liu Shang didn't expect Ye Yugui to have such an excellent plan.

I think that when there was a drought at the beginning, all the ministers of the court were competing with each other, and when the emperor finally promulgated this drought-fighting law, it really surprised all the ministers, including him.

However, in the end, no one knows who wrote this drought-fighting Dafa that changed the situation of the great victory at that time.

However, at that time, Ye Yugui was just a child in his early tens! How could a child write such a far-sighted plan!

After this incident, he couldn't help but think of a lot, no wonder the prince's momentum has become more and more fierce in the past two years, and he has been praised by the emperor again and again, and now that I think about it, I am afraid that there is also a part of Ye Yugui behind it.

"Although you have such a talent, but you are not favored by the emperor, how can you win the crown prince. What if I help you now, but you don't get to the throne in the future? ”

Ye Yugui snorted: "If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't easily agree to the queen, but now that everything is ready, I only owe the east wind, I don't know if Lord Liu is willing to be the east wind and help me." ”

Liu Shang was obviously hesitant on his face, although what Ye Yugui said was very convincing, but it still couldn't make Liu Shang make such a big determination.

But what Ye Yugui said next went straight into Liu Shang's heart.

"Lord Liu, if you can help me now, no matter whether I can ascend the throne in the end, I will do my best to protect your whole family, your Liu family is not a century-old family like the Song family, the entire Liu family is supported by yourself, although Mrs. Liu is a member of the Wang family, but after all, she married into the Liu Mansion, and her ability is limited."

"As far as I know, your son's whereabouts are still unknown, and even if he gets it back, the mud can't support the wall, and he can't inherit your unity. Lord Liu, you have offended people in the court for so many years, if you die in the future, then the people of Liufu don't know what will happen. ”

Liu Shang sighed again and again, obviously looking like he was about to be moved.

Ye Yugui continued: "If you support me, the Liu family will become my biggest ally, if you don't support me to support the crown prince, then you are at best just a foil, destined to be inferior to the Song family." And do you think that the prince will easily let you go at that time. ”

This last sentence Ye Yugui bit very hard, his eyes were cold, and Liu Shang felt that it was not that the prince would not let him go, but that Ye Yugui would not let him go.

Finally, under the coercion and temptation, Liu Shang nodded with difficulty.

Early the next morning, before Ye Yu returned, Liu Xiaorou stuffed a handkerchief in his arms. It is embroidered with two delicate butterflies.
