Chapter 197: Selfishness
Xie Yu was kidnapped, few people know, but King Ling got the news early in the morning, the confrontation between the Xie family and King Duan of Rui, there are people watching from the wall, King Rui threatened the Xie family, and the move of winning over King Duan is a good opportunity to regain trust, deal with the Xie family, and be able to establish authority.
Now that his father is in the hands of King Rui, he has mastered the military power in the capital, the only deficiency is that his prestige is not enough, even if his father decrees, there will be countless people who will come out to oppose it, and King Ye, as the eldest son, will bear the brunt of the blow, and he will not sit idly by.
As for King Jun, he is just a concubine with an empty reputation but an unjustifiable reputation, no matter how you look at the situation, it will not be unfavorable to you, now you just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, consume the strength of the Xie family and King Rui, force out the hole cards, and wait for the king to clean up the mess, you can harvest you.
And after King Duan hesitated for a long time, he didn't want to accept his fate, and planned to struggle again, King Jun looked down on himself, so the good big brother who was still in the dark should be very interested in this.
When he left the palace on this day, King Duan deliberately left the palace with King Ye in front of King Rui, and the conversation seemed to be very speculative, ignoring the poisonous eyes behind him.
King Ye didn't fail to see it, as an elder brother, he naturally wanted to understand the thoughts of the brothers, "What's wrong with you and Lao Shi, it seems very wrong today." ”
"Big brother, his heart is now higher than the sky, he thinks he is the choice of destiny, and he will be the lord of Chu in the future, and he wants me to take refuge in him, and I have done many excessive things, and I will never have a brotherhood with him in the future. ”
King Ye was not surprised and said, "He has always been arrogant and wants to compete with his brothers, but unfortunately he obeys his wife's words, but he is just a little clever and embarrassed, you have always been lenient, what did he do to make you so angry, he has always been bad at talking, and today he complained to me." ”
"He originally wanted to take my life, and Concubine Zheng raised me, and this life was compensated to him to appease his grievances, but he implicated the innocent, wanted to threaten me, and resorted to many despicable and obscene means, which made me hate being with him for many years. ”
"When is he going to take your life, why didn't you tell me earlier, what is going on this time, what is he doing again. ”
King Duan made a heartbroken statement, "The last time I went out of the city hunting with Ge Yue and was assassinated, it was not the third brother who did it, it was King Rui who wanted to get rid of me because of jealousy." ”
"How come, you grew up together, how could his heart be so narrow-minded. ”
"It's true, at that time, Xie Ling's brothers and sisters had just entered Beijing, and we went together, and later in order to prevent them from getting involved in this matter, I concealed some of it, but Xie Ling secretly found out that it was King Rui who made a move, and I read it in my brother's game, and I will not pursue it again. ”
King Ye recalled and said with emotion, "Nan Qi was also involved that day, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless." ”
"There is no loss in that matter, and it will be over after the ambiguity, I admire Xie Yu's matter, and I must have heard of it, three days ago, he actually sent someone to kidnap Xie Yu's master and apprentice, intending to threaten me and the Xie family, and later. ”
Seeing him slurping, King Ye couldn't help asking, "What?"
"I drugged Xie Yu again, wanting to completely separate me from the Xie family, let me get Xie Yu, and become enemies with the Xie family, and take refuge in him for self-preservation. ”
King Ye's face changed, he killed three birds with one stone, and had a vicious plan, "Okay, I just said that he was clever, but I really underestimated him, you, are you in cahoots with him?"
"How is it possible, I originally wanted to make a false deal with him first, find out where Xie Yu was imprisoned, and then arrange someone to save her, who knew that King Rui had already arranged this one, and now Xie Yu has misunderstood me and refuses to believe me. ”
King Ye himself grasped the point, "She was rescued?"
"Fortunately, the people of the Xie family arrived in time, Xie Yu did not have traditional Chinese medicine, her master tasted the medicine for her, but they have a miracle doctor, it should be fine, now the Xie family must think that I and King Rui are in the same stream, Xie Yu and I, I'm afraid there is no fate." ”
"After you got the news, you didn't notify the Xie family, but wanted to save people yourself, but you almost had an accident and were misunderstood?"
King Duan bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”
"The line is right, you are selfish, why don't you fall into the trap. ”
"I, I just want to fight for a chance to make Xie Yu change his mind and agree to marry me,"
King Ye only said, "It's better to be innocent." ”
Duan Wang was in his heart, this seemed to accuse him of being a villain who was difficult to get right from wrong, so he just said it, "The reason why he wants to win me over is just to have one more supporter, I don't know why recently, his confidence has increased greatly, thinking that he can sit in that position, so he jumps up and down, I am here today to remind the eldest brother to be careful." ”
"You didn't do what he wanted, you need to be careful, you can't win over, I'm afraid he will be unfavorable to you. ”
"Thank you big brother for worrying, I will be careful, I don't know if my eldest brother can bless a little. ”
King Ye sighed in his heart, it's really different, I don't know if it's the world changing, or if it's like this, but now, it's really unexpected, the brothers are going farther and farther away after all, "I've taken care of you since I was a child, and now that you've spoken, how can I not help you, I just hope that you will be selfish in the future, and you will be selfish after all." ”
Although he was promised, there was no joy in his heart, as if something was going away with the wind, and he settled his mind and said, "I have been taught." ”
"Let's go home. ”
The carriage walked on the wide avenue in front of the palace gate, the accustomed Imperial Forest Army, the eyes did not change, the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of wheels, gradually went away, the smooth stone road, only the breeze blew low, and could not find a satisfactory fallen leaf.
After dinner, as soon as he took a look, Hezhou couldn't find it, and everyone thought that he had gone to drink again, and with his martial arts, there were few opponents, so he went with him.
Sister Yan and Bai accompanied Xie Yu, commanded the servants and maids, rearranged the courtyard, corridor, etc., and replaced them with beautiful flowers, screens, and lanterns.
Tomorrow is Xie Yu's birthday, which is not a big event, but it is also a happy event for the Xie Mansion that has had many twists and turns in the past few months.
They were very happy to arrange on the side, and they followed leisurely, watching them happy, and helping them when they needed help.
Hezhou rushed to the outside of the city with wine to clear the void, and when he returned to the city, he was already empty-handed, ran to the city non-stop, crossed a few streets, arrived at the familiar jewelry store, and the guy who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly took out a small mahogany box.
After opening, it is a round hollow silver crotch with exquisite workmanship, but it is a hollow, the guy taught him to open it, He Zhou took out a golden Bodhi from his arms, there is something faintly carved on it, and he has not seen it clearly, He Zhou has locked the mechanism, and can only see the little golden yellow revealed in the hollow pattern.
The guy who had met him several times boldly asked, "Is it for the girl you like?"
He Zhou frightened him, saw that the guy retreated several feet in succession, put away the box, and said with a smile, "It's just a birthday gift." ”
When the guy heard this, he ran a few steps inside, then turned around and said, "I've been holding the shopkeeper for a few days, and I look like a baby, who believes it." ”
I didn't bother to pay attention to him, so I chose a moon-white silk silk on the tray next to him, put it in my arms, put the silver money on the counter, and shouted, "Lao Wang, I put the silver here, I took the things, and I will find you for a drink next time." ”
When I went out, I met a girl in a pale blue dress, but fortunately he was agile, turned his feet, crossed the girl, and walked away with the box.
The girl looked back curiously, but instead of seeing his face, she saw two short knives at his waist.
"Dad, I'm here. ”
Lao Wang's voice came from upstairs, "Okay, come down immediately." ”
King Rui looked at the news sent by the people below, and said that Xie Fu had been beaming with joy all day, not paying the slightest attention to other things, the expression on his face was uncertain, and finally took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed his feelings.
Listening to them continue to report on the situation of the forbidden army and the Royal Forest Army, everything went according to plan, and it was quite smooth, which comforted him a little.
Sure enough, it's not that he is incapable, but he listened to his mother's words too much before, and buried himself, the mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and her vision is not high, and now she relies on herself, victory is in front of her, and no one will be bullied on her head in the future.
On this day, Yue Yang got up early in the morning, greeted his parents, accompanied his mother to breakfast, and then persuaded his mother to go out for a walk.
Wang originally thought that he was still begging himself to marry Sister Xie for him, so he deliberately flattered himself, and he was really happy and sad in his heart.
Yue Yang said, "Mother, the child has thought clearly, then Sister Xie, I don't want to marry again, although she is beautiful, but I heard that she is very fierce and has killed people, so the child should not marry her, it is better for the mother to be gentle and capable." ”
"You, you are really greedy for freshness, the flowers are beautiful, they are all thorny, and the mother has a big mess. ”
After thinking about it, Yue Yang said, "Then the kid invites you to go to the play,"
"I'm not going to the show, there are a lot of people, and it's noisy, so you can go by yourself." ”
"Oh, I see that you haven't been out for a long time, and I have nothing to do, so today I will accompany you out for a good walk. ”
It was rare for Wang to go out with his son, so he didn't want to dismiss his kindness, so he agreed.
The two changed their clothes and asked them to prepare the carriage.
The subordinates were curious for a while, the young master has always disliked to ride in the carriage when he goes out, why did he let Beibei get in the carriage today.
When the two came out, it dawned on them that it was Mrs. who was going out.
What? The young master actually went out with his wife, he must have seen it wrong.
Rubbing his eyes and looking again, it was true, look at the sun, the sun didn't hit the west today.
The two went to see two plays first, Wang doesn't like to go out, and he is bored at home all day, today's play Yue Yang deliberately chose a very interesting one, Wang was fascinated when he saw it, and he was in a very good mood.
After using some refreshments and drinking new tea, it was still early, Yue Yang asked the little maid to go to the restaurant to book a private room first, and he took the Wang family to the gold shop next door to see the head and face jewelry.
