Chapter 216: The Gathering of Storms (5)
After the negotiation went on for a while, Han Qing could basically determine that Bai Yuming and Han Zhaoyang were deliberately dragging it out on the Da Zhou side.
He remained quiet, but secretly sent his cronies to the Liao State to investigate.
After entering April, the negotiations were stalemate again, and Han Qing finally threw out a killer weapon - he asked to talk to Bai Yuming and Han Zhaoyang alone.
Lin Jialin left, and explained that the most important word for Bai Yuming and Han Zhaoyang was drag, so Bai Yuming and Han Zhaoyang agreed to talk to Han Qing in private.
Han Qing got up with a smile and led Bai Yuming and Han Zhaoyang out of the lobby and into the east wing.
Bai Yuming has not yet entered the east wing, through the green bamboo silk curtain smelled a fragrance of tea, and when he entered the east wing, he found that the east wing room was very elegant and clean, and there was a delicate tea table on the red sandalwood arhat bed, on which a small red clay stove was placed, and the water was "gooshing".
After the guest and host sat down, Han Qing began to make tea.
Bai Yuming tasted the plain porcelain teacup, put down the teacup, and looked at Han Qing calmly.
Han Zhaoyang also put down the teacup and raised his eyes to look at Han Qing.
Han Qing took a sip of the teacup, and the clear and slightly bitter tea fragrance spread in his mouth.
He put down the teacup and said with a smile: "If Western Xia and the Great Zhou form an alliance to deal with the Liao State together, my conditions are very simple."
When Bai Yuming and Han Zhaoyang heard this, they adjusted their sitting posture invisibly - Han Qing was finally about to reveal his hole cards!
Han Qing lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup and took another sip, his pale face blurred in the curling water vapor.
After putting down the teacup, he spoke: "The first condition, give me detoxification."
Bai Yuming and Han Zhaoyang glanced at each other, and there was no difference in their eyes.
Han Zhaoyang smiled slightly: "King, what about the second condition?"
Han Qing's gaze fell on Bai Yuming's face, and after circling in a circle, he said softly, "I want to take Yu Yu with me."
Bai Yuming and Han Zhaoyang were stunned.
Han Qing glanced at Bai Yuming and emphasized again: "I want to take Concubine Bai away."
The corners of his lips pursed a smile that was determined to win: "If these two conditions of mine are met, the others are negotiable."
Han Zhaoyang looked at Bai Yuming, and saw that Bai Yuming's back was straight, his body was frozen there, and he seemed to be extremely angry, so he quietly reached out and patted Bai Yuming's back gently, and then looked at Han Qing with a smile: "The king is joking!" Ha ha! ”
Han Qing looked at Han Zhaoyang and Bai Yuming, whose face had changed, and said slowly: "But one woman can buy many years of peace and win precious development time for Da Zhou...... Weigh it up! ”
Of course, he knew that Bai Yuming and Han Zhaoyang couldn't be the masters, but Han Zhaoyang was able to convey his conditions to the cabinet and Emperor Yongtai......
If Emperor Yongtai agrees, then Lin Jia is afraid that he will not be able to make decisions......
Han Qing hates the dry climate of the northwest, but if he is accompanied by a jade gardenia, the northwest is not such a terrible place.
Thinking that Yu Yu would one day accompany him to the end of his life in the northwest, a smile appeared on Han Qing's handsome face.
Bai Yuming's eyes narrowed slightly and looked at Han Qing's smug face, and he couldn't wait to punch him and shatter this hateful face.
Han Zhaoyang said with a smile: "King, we can't do anything about this matter, we have to think about it in the long run."
Han Qing took a sip of the teacup and smiled: "I'm very patient!"
Since April, the weather has suddenly become hot.
Yu Yu was already six months pregnant, and she had always been afraid of heat, so she asked people to put a gold plate filled with icebergs in the room to cool it down.
In the evening, when the weather finally cooled down, Yu Yu took the maid to the courtyard for a walk with her belly.
She likes moon flowers, and in early spring, she ordered people to plant a lot of moon flowers in the courtyard, and now they are blooming one after another, and they are blooming in the golden sunset.
Yu Yu took a pink moon season pinched by Ye Ling, and was sniffing lightly with the end of his nose when he heard a sound of footsteps in front of him.
She looked up and saw Li Fanxing walking over with Bai Yuming, and hurriedly smiled and beckoned: "Big brother, I'm here!"
Bai Yuming raised his eyes and looked over, and saw the jade gardenia standing in the moon flowers, smiling brightly, and couldn't help but sigh secretly and walked over.
Yu Yu saw that his brother's expression was a little wrong, so he talked to Bai Yuming sentence by sentence and walked towards the main room together.
Bai Yuming smelled the fragrance of the Yueji Flower, looked at the Jade Gardenia who was holding the Yueji Flower, and asked softly, "Yuyu, did the prince say anything to you when he left?"
Yu Yu glanced at his brother, his eyes were thoughtful, but he said, "Brother, let's talk about it in detail when I go to the house."
Entering the bright room, in order to facilitate talking, Yu Yu and Bai Yuming sat down on the yellow rosewood circle chair placed against the east wall.
Yu Yu asked the people waiting to retreat, and then said: "The prince only said that Han Qing is in the capital, let me not go out."
Bai Yuming frowned and said, "The prince knows Han Qing...... Coveting your business? ”
Yu Yu nodded calmly: "I know!"
Seeing that her brother's expression was wrong, she hurriedly said, "Han Qing is very strange......
Bai Yuming glanced outside, and saw that the thin bamboo silk door curtain was hanging low, and there was no figure outside, so he approached Yuyu and said in a low voice: "Han Qing asked to talk to me Han Zhaoyang in private today, and put forward two conditions!"
Yu Yu looked at his brother's eyes and looked calm: "One of the conditions is that I want to go to Western Xia with him, right?"
Bai Yuming didn't expect Yu Yu to understand everything in his heart, so he nodded.
Yu Yu sneered and said, "He mentioned this matter in front of you and Han Zhaoyang, I'm afraid it was deliberate, he should have wanted Han Zhaoyang to tell Han Li about this matter, and put pressure on Lin Jia through Han Li!"
Bai Yuming frowned and said, "I'm still worried that Han Li will report this matter to Emperor Yongtai, make a decision while the prince is not in the capital, and let you be a sacrifice......"
Although Yu Yu is Lin Jia's side concubine, the side concubine is still a concubine, and the concubines are all bought and sold, and those dignitaries will betray Yu Yu without blinking!
Yu Yu also had a hint of fear in her heart.
She slowly leaned back in her chair, thinking slowly.
Bai Yuming kept looking at Yu Yu, and his eyes were full of worry in the same way as Yu Yu.
Yu Yu reached out and rubbed it vigorously on his face, and then looked at Bai Yuming: "Brother, I'll ask Li Rui to come over and discuss it together!"
Bai Yuming nodded.
He knew that Li Rui was the most dedicated to Yuyu.
Li Rui was dealing with the affairs of the Feather Guard, and when he heard that Yu Yu invited him over, he immediately asked Feiying and the others to wait there, and got up and went to the bedroom.
Feiying didn't know what Li Rui was doing in the bedroom, he was waiting in the bright room, and saw Li Rui walking out of the bedroom, the original dark robe on his body had been replaced by a jade white gauze robe, and a jade belt was also changed around his waist, and Li Rui's face was still damp, as if he had just washed his face, and he looked more and more handsome.
Watching Li Ruishi Shi Ran go out, Feiying muttered to himself: "...... Didn't you just go to listen to Songyuan and see Concubine Baifang? Do you need to dress up like that? ”
When Li Rui entered, Bai Yuming was sitting there with one hand thinking about his thoughts, but Yu Yu was eating peaches.
Yu Yu patiently peeled off the thin skin of the peach, and then took a hard bite, and the peach melted in his mouth, full of sweetness.
In the white jade plate in her hand were several peaches she had just peeled.
As soon as Li Rui entered, he saw Yu Yu eating peaches, while Bai Yuming was sitting on the side with a worried face.
He bowed silently: "I've seen the side concubine!"
Yu Yu wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Li Rui, you go wash your hands, come and eat peaches, it's so sweet!"
When Li Rui saw her eating it, he felt that it must be delicious, so although he didn't like peaches, he still washed his hands, took a jade gardenia peeled and took a bite - it was really sweet!
Yu Yu also took another one and took a big bite.
Bai Yuming was full of worries, seeing that Yu Yu and Li Rui were still only caring about eating peaches relatively big, he was simply angry and funny, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and watched Yu Yu and Li Rui finish eating a plate of peaches.
Han Lin sent a few wet hand towels with a gold plate and presented them to Yu Yu and Li Rui to wipe their hands and faces.
After Hanlin retreated, Yu Yu looked at Li Rui: "Han Qing put forward two conditions in front of my brother and Han Zhaoyang, one is to detoxify him, and the other is to take me back to Western Xia."
When Li Rui heard this, his pupils suddenly constricted, and he quickly returned to his original state, looking at Bai Yuming: "Han Zhaoyang is also present?"
Bai Yuming nodded.
Li Rui thought for a moment, and then said: "Han Zhaoyang is Mr. Han's son, Mr. Han has always put state affairs first, and he will definitely choose to sacrifice his concubine."
Yu Yu sneered and said: "I'm not afraid of going to Western Xia, I'm worried that because I went to Western Xia, Ah Yin will lose his inheritance in the future!"
When she said this, her eyes involuntarily moistened.
Yu Yu was clear in her heart, not only was she afraid that Ah Yin would lose her inheritance rights because of a mother like her, but she was also worried that Lin Jia would really give her to Han Qing for the sake of the national interest.
Li Rui and Bai Yuming didn't expect this yet, and when they heard Yu Yu Yu say, they were all silent for a moment - for Yu Yu, this is the most important thing!
After a while, Li Rui said softly: "Concubine Fang, I want to find a way to send you away first, and then look at the attitude of the prince, if the prince agrees to send you to Western Xia, I will take you away and fly away - a missing mother is better for the prince than a mother who becomes the concubine of the great king of the enemy country."
Yu Yu was silent for a moment and said, "Let me think about ......"
