Chapter Eighty-Four: The Struggle for the Throne
Looking at the anxiety and worry in each other's eyes, Liu Yichen and Xu Qingyu were silent.
Sitting in the private room of Zuiyun Building, looking at the traffic downstairs, he was thinking about the same thing, Murong Zixuan.
The chaos in the court has become more and more obvious recently, and the news that Prince Xia is going to marry the crown princess is spreading, whether it is true or not, no one knows. But as long as it is related to the Xia Mansion, they must not take it lightly now.
Murong Zixuan hasn't shown up for several days, this is definitely not a normal phenomenon! What would happen if Zixuan knew about this?
I've known him for several years, but I've never seen him fall in love with any woman or take a second look. Now it's hard to have a woman who can interest him, but it's that identity.
"Why don't we go to his house and have a look?" took the lead in breaking the silence in the room, and glanced at Xu Qingyu, who was frowning, Liu Yichen stood up and moved his muscles. "It's not a problem to wait like this."
"What do you say when you go? Looking for him in such an abrupt past, it seems that there are no three hundred taels of silver here, which is even more suspicious. Shaking his head slightly, Xu Qingyu sighed lightly. The news from the Xia Mansion has not yet been confirmed, if Lord Xia really wants to ......"
"Big brother and second brother." Pushing open the door in a hurry, Murong Zixuan walked into the room with a smile, looking at the two people with surprised faces, his steps slowly slowed down, "What's the matter, look at me like this?" ”
"What is this?" Without directly answering Murong Zixuan's words, Xu Qingyu set his eyes on the woman beside him. A gleam crossed his hazy eyes. Murong Zixuan never brought people around, let alone brought them here directly. This ordinary-looking woman, he has seen it for the first time, and who can directly let Murong Zixuan bring them to know, who is it?
"Ah, this." With a grin, Murong Zixuan reached out and pulled the woman beside him. "My sister, the eldest brother and the second brother will take care of it in the future."
Younger sister? When will Murong Zixuan have an extra sister?
And no matter how you look at the looks of these two people, you can't see the slightest similarity, right?
"Isn't your second uncle unmarried, where did you come from?" Holding his chin with one hand, Liu Yichen squinted at Murong Zixuan, hoping to find a flaw in his face.
"Who said that my second uncle's daughter, can't my father?" Glancing at the two of them with an expression of "why make a fuss", Murong Zixuan sat in the chair casually, "She is the righteous daughter that my father brought back from the south this time, I heard that it is the daughter of an old shopkeeper in our family who has been working for many years, her father died, my father saw that she was pitiful, so he brought her back directly, and asked me to take her out to see the world." ”
With a blushing face and a heartbeat telling the lies he made up, Murong Zixuan's calm and calm expression made Mu Tong on the side almost believe it, feeling that he was really as he said.
"Your dad asked you to take her out, so you brought her here?"
Pouted, Liu Yichen didn't believe Murong Zixuan's statement.
"There are other reasons, of course." Raising his eyebrows, Murong Zixuan looked at the two of them with a mysterious expression, and said in a low voice: "My sister's martial arts are not below you, and she is quite beautiful, so I want to see who is more suitable to introduce to you." ”
Pretty?
The moment they heard this word, Liu Yichen and Xu Qingyu couldn't help but shift their eyes to the woman in the room, and then silently turned away, looking elsewhere as if nothing had happened.
Does this word have anything to do with the woman in front of you? They didn't see it at all! But...... If the kung fu is better than theirs, it is a little interesting.
"No kidding." Glancing at the woman beside him, Murong Zixuan smiled, and his expression suddenly became serious. "Big brother and second brother, I have promised my father to take over the family's business. So I probably won't have much time to come here in the future. ”
Listening to Murong Zixuan's words, Liu Yichen and Xu Qingyu were stunned. They both looked at him incredulously.
"Don't look at me like that." Smiled helplessly, Murong Zixuan sighed with a vicissitudes of life, "It's mine, I can't escape." Besides, it's time for me to do something for myself. As soon as the words changed, the haze in Murong Zixuan's eyes disappeared, "The news that Xia Yifeng is going to marry again, I think you all know it." ”
"What do you want to do?" Frowning, Liu Yichen stood up, "Third brother, don't act rashly, Lord Xia is not easy to deal with!" ”
"What I want to do, you'll find out later." Raising the corners of his mouth mysteriously, Murong Zixuan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Maybe I won't do anything." ”
Stretching out his hand and pushing Mu Tong forward, Murong Zixuan crossed Erlang's legs and smiled uninhibitedly, "Anyway, I will be very busy during this time, my sister will always stay in Zuiyun Tower, you two need to take care of it more, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to my father." ”
They chatted for a long time, and it wasn't until it was dark that the few people slowly dispersed.
Walking on the dark road, looking up at the stars in the sky, Liu Yichen felt an indescribable depression in his heart.
If Xia Yifeng really marries the crown princess, it means that the battle for the throne has begun, and there will definitely be people in the court who will turn their backs again, and as the son of the prime minister, where should he and his father's position go?
I returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with complicated thoughts, and from a distance, the light was still on in the study. Standing in place and squinting his eyes, Liu Yichen thought about it again and again, and finally walked over.
"Dad, what do you want? It's so late and it's not resting. Pushing open the door and looking at the person sitting behind the desk with a sad face, Liu Yichen frowned.
"It's not a matter of the DPRK yet." Rubbing his temples, Liu Yunchi sighed tiredly. "There are some things you don't understand."
"Dad won't be bothered by the fight between the prince and the prince of Xia, right?" Sitting in the chair, Liu Yi opened his mouth lightly, and after seeing Liu Yunchi's body stunned, he smiled distractedly. It seems that things are exactly what he thinks! "Dad, haven't you chosen a position yet?"
Unexpectedly, his son broke the worry in his heart with a word, and looking at Liu Yichen in front of him, Liu Yunchi felt more or less comforted in his heart. "Tell me what you think."
"The struggle for the throne has not been bloodless since ancient times. Our Liu family, with a big family and a big business, will be involved in this infighting, and we will definitely go step by step. If defeated, the whole family may not be able to escape the disaster of being killed......" Glancing at Liu Yunchi and brushing his beard with a trembling hand, Liu Yichen continued to speak: "Although the prince has the support of many ministers in the court, and the emperor has never had the idea of abandoning it, at first glance, Prince Xia seems to have no chance of winning at all. But don't forget, Prince Xia has never been defeated on the battlefield, and he has countless achievements, and the emperor loves it very much. If the prince really made a wrong move one day, it would be really difficult to determine who would win and who would lose. ”
"So do you think that which side Dad should choose will be better for our Liu family?"
"It's hard to say." sighed heavily, in fact, Liu Yichen himself was constantly struggling with this problem in his heart. Although the crown prince seems to have a great chance of winning, Xia Yifeng is definitely not an ordinary person, and now that the fourth brother has been involved in the affairs of Xia Wangfu, the whole situation is completely chaotic to the extreme. "Dad, you don't have to worry too much, let's wait and see for a while, and then make plans after seeing their next move, it's not too late."
Looking at Liu Yichen with light in his eyes, Liu Yunchi finally had a smile on his serious face. He didn't expect his son to think of such a thing. It seems that even if he resigns and returns to his hometown, there will be no problems......
