The rain gradually stopped. The streets are back to their former prosperity. The shouts of hawkers, the shouting of children, the loud voices of people, and the noisy laughter. Chu Ye still looked so calm, and even recruited the shopkeeper to refill a pot of tea.

Qi Rang's hand holding the teacup was distinct, and he was filled with tea. But whenever he wanted to leave, Chu Ye always looked at him with a smile like that, making it difficult for him to say goodbye.

He had to admit that what made it even more difficult for him to refuse was Chu Ye's small actions. People are similar, and names are similar. But a person's habits from childhood are not so easy to imitate. He has a great relationship with the Chu family, and naturally knows that the concubine who was raised by the Chu family as a man has some small habits. And since he entered this private room, these small actions that should have appeared on the concubines of the Chu family have appeared one after another. Even if it fell on this envoy, there was not a trace of disobedience.

Chu Ye refilled the tea in Qi Rang's cup. Qi Rang lowered his head and looked at the light brown tea leaves floating on the water. He laughed to himself. He is also a well-bred prince, how can he not know that no matter what the outcome of this heart-to-heart battle between him and Chu Ye is, he is already difficult to ride a tiger!

When the prince of the dynasty and the envoys of other countries gather in the restaurant, if it is rumored to the court by someone with a heart, I don't know how much storm it will set off.

"Say," Qi Rang disarmed and surrendered, "what do you ask for?" ”

Although the bureau was set by Chu Ye, she was naturally confident in herself. If it can't achieve the effect she wants, why should she accompany Qi here to let the cow drink.

"What do you think Chu Ye asks for?" She didn't answer the rhetorical question, and threw the question back to Qi Rang.

Qi Rang played with the tea in his hand, he was like that tea leaf at the moment, he had long been surrounded by Chu Ye and became the thing in her cup.

"As far as you are concerned, I am the prince of an enemy country, and I am of no help to the court. Therefore, you are not asking for rights. ”

Chu Ye nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"I have the title of prince, but the fief is not a rich place. So, you're not looking for money from me. He paused for a moment, observing Chu Ye's expression. But Chu Ye was like a dummy, without the slightest expression on his face.

"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. But you don't seek power or wealth. Then the only thing I have on me that can still get into your eyes is the errand of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”

"It is said that His Royal Highness King Anyi is obsessed with the four wilds, but in Chu Ye's opinion, you are one of the few infatuated men in this world."

Chu Ye stretched out a finger, stirred it in the tea, and dipped it in the tea and wrote a word on the table. Qi Rang's pupils shrank suddenly, and with the force in his hand, he actually crushed the teacup raw.

Chu Ye didn't seem to see it, and dipped the tea again to erase the word, "The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, and it should be the same if he wants to come to His Royal Highness King Anyi." She lowered her head and wrote another word next to her. When she looked up again, her eyes were full of fanatical desire, her words were seductive, but there was a hidden determination that could not be refused, "Help me, I will let you get what you want!" ”

Qi Rang was shocked by the aura around her, but there was still a bit of sanity. He shook his head, his momentum also changed greatly, and his tone was mocking, "I didn't expect the envoy of Chu to be able to find out to this point." But the envoys of Chu should also understand that this king is the royal concubine, the prince of Yipin! ”

"Hahaha!" Chu Ye laughed out loud, "King Anyi, do you want to be a prince all your life as a concubine?" ”

"What do you mean?" Qi Rang's tone was dangerous.

"It's not interesting." Chu Ye shook his head, "I don't have much interest in the battle for the throne of your country. To put it bluntly, the throne is more like a bargaining chip for the prince to me. Of course, this chip will not be cashed out until the prince helps me get what I want. ”

"If what you ask for is my Dongyao country, why should I help you."

"Dongyao Jiangshan?" Chu Ye repeated these four words, "What I did was to help the prince stabilize the country." You should know. Qi Lian, who lost the support of the Chu family, was like a lost dog, without courage. Even now, what I think in my mind is not to be diligent in government and love the people, but to borrow harem women to achieve the purpose of stabilizing the court! ”

"Presumptuous!" Qi Rang shouted, "Who gave you the courage to dare to talk about me to Your Majesty!" ”

Chu Ye didn't care about this reprimand, and still casually seduced: "Lord Wang, don't miss the opportunity." ”

After speaking, she stood up, dusted off the non-existent dust on her sleeve, and made a gesture towards Qi Rang.

"Why me?" Qi Rang's voice came from behind him, with a little puzzle.

Final word!

Chu Ye came back to his senses, with a triumphant smile on his face: "The prince is the son of the first emperor, and his name is justified. ”

"What do you want me to do? How do you know what I want? Who are you? ”

Qi Rang sent out three questions in a row, which blocked Chu Ye's way. There is a posture of "if you don't answer, I won't let you go".

"This has nothing to do with the prince. The only thing I want the prince to do is to make sure that the emperor of your country will not be present on the day of the sacrifice! ”

"Won't be there?" Qi Rang was shocked and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Chu Ye glanced at him coldly, she raised her head slightly, and the expression on her face was dark and unclear, which made Qi Rang feel gloomy.

"Your Royal Highness," she said softly, with a child-like intimacy in her words, "there are people in this world who can spoil a good hand of cards for nothing, and it is a big mistake. But there are also those who can play a bad hand well, hold the danger and help the tide, and the king of power is wild. In the eyes of the next, the prince is the latter. Most of the latter are smart people, and smart people also generally have a characteristic......" Chu Ye pretended to stop his voice mysteriously and asked rhetorically, "Do you know what it is?" ”

……

Chu Shan watched his father staring at the chessboard all day, but he didn't know how to open his mouth to comfort him. In her little heart, Daddy is the smartest daddy in the world, and as for Daddy......

Well, it's still a lot worse than Daddy!

But for her, the palms and backs of her hands are all meat, after all, if it weren't for her father, she would be called Chu Dafa! So even though Dad is a little stupid, she still won't dislike it!

"Dad, even if you can't solve it, don't be so anxious!" Chu Shan looked at Sima Jin's expression and said thoughtfully, "After all, even Daddy can't untie it!" ”

Sima Jin nodded, and smiled at Chu Shan. Chu Shan didn't know chess, so she naturally couldn't see the subtleties of this game. Or rather, it's not just a game of chess at all! Sima Jin is different. Whether it is in the past life or in this life, the way of chess is easy for him, and it is his forte to peek into the situation and people's hearts from the chess game.

But Chu Ye's game of chess is different. The sunspot sits in the world, the general trend has been decided, and the white son lives in the corner and can't move. On the surface, it seems that no matter how you fall, you can't change the disadvantage of Baizi. With his understanding of Chu Ye, Chu Ye's holder must be Bai Zi who has already been decided, no wonder she has to think carefully, there are enemies everywhere she looks, but there is only one pure white blade in her hand

— as if they were in the current situation!

Chu Ye is not only studying Baizi's next place to stay, but also spying on his next move on the road to Sima Jin's succession!

Chu Ye is indeed a great talent!

Sima Jin stared at the chess game in front of him, and his eyes lit up. Twisted a white seed in his right hand and hung it on the chessboard!

It is true that when Chu Ye brought it up first for the matter of his retainers, he couldn't refuse. But he also told Chu Ye more than once that he had never regarded him as a subordinate.

The path to winning the heir was chosen by him, and since he regarded Chu Ye as a friend, there was no reason for him to work hard for their common goal alone.

"What are you doing?"

The familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Sima Jin was startled, his fingertips loosened, and the chess pieces fell on the chessboard with gravity, making a "pop" sound.

Chu Shan looked at his father and almost jumped up in surprise.

"Daddy, you're back!" She looked left and right, and asked a little strangely, "Didn't you say that you would bring sugar gourds to Kosugi?" What about sugar gourds? ”

Chu Ye was suddenly a little embarrassed.

She really didn't expect that the deal with Qi Rang would drag on for so long. By the time she came out of Yunlai Restaurant, it was already early. She went to another place, and by the time she was about to go back to the post station to buy sugar gourds for her snacks, the whole street could no longer smell the syrup!

It's not a coincidence, if it weren't for the heavy rain during the day, the craftsmen who sell sugar gourds wouldn't have gone home like that. It can be seen that it is really not that she deliberately did not buy it, but that Kosugi really did not have this mouthful.

Chu Shan didn't see the sugar gourd he was thinking about, his lips were flattened, and a bubble of tears accumulated in his eyes.

"Daddy is a bad guy! It's the bad guys! ”
