276 Fish and Bear's Paws

The wind wheel was blowing the ice, there was a slight coolness, but it couldn't dispel the irritability in Xiao Jinyu's heart, his gloomy eyes were deeply fixed on Liu Fuxin's face, slightly unhappy, "Do you mean that this king can't fight Xiao Junjue?" his eyebrows stretched slightly, "The prince and the king will fight him down, what is Xiao Junjue's fear? It's just a martial artist, what's the use of being favored by his father, this matter in the court, the thoughts of the court, does he understand?"

Liu Fuxin slowly shook the fan, and the fan was painted with a beautiful woman praying for the moon, and she looked closely at the beauty who was somewhat similar to her, all with a shallow smile, "The King of Chu has just come into contact with the court, and now he may not understand those power struggles, but if he doesn't understand it, he can learn it, maybe it won't be long before he learns." learned to seize power, learned to win over, learned how to plot against the prince, and how to buy people's hearts. Wouldn't it be too late if it was to that day?"

Xiao Jinyu slowly lowered her eyes, her fingers unconsciously knocked on the table, thinking about what Liu Fuxin said.

Liu Fuxin's words are not unreasonable.

Things in the court are changing rapidly, and now he is faintly at a disadvantage, and now there are many people who have the intention of taking refuge when they see the rise of the King of Chu, and thanks to Xiao Junjue's lack of power and scheming, he is not good at communicating, and those who intend to make friends cannot find a way, so he has not developed in the court.

However, in time, when Xiao Junjue learns those tricks in the court, then he will take advantage of the right time, place and people. It will not be easy to deal with him again.

"What the hell do you mean?" Xiao Jinyu's eyebrows were mixed with a hint of impatience.

"Didn't the king of Chu say that as long as he returned the princess of Chu, he would agree to any conditions? Then it depends on how he chooses between the beauty and the country, and if he chooses to fight with the prince, he will lose the beauty, and if he chooses the beauty, he will stay away from the court and no longer participate in the succession. Now the princess of Chu is a card in the prince's hand, and the prince must make good use of it. As long as the king of Chu withdraws from the court battle, this prince is the best candidate, how can there be a more cost-effective deal?" Liu Fuxin even has a bigger appetite than Xiao Jinyu, she not only wants Rong Zhao to leave Xiao Jinyu, but also ensures that Xiao Jinyu's position is as strong as Mount Tai.

Xiao Jinyu took the case and said angrily: "Impossible, this king will not return Zhaozhao to him again!"

Liu Fuxin lowered her head slightly, and said with a smile: "The concubine has a question that she wants to ask the prince, is it important in your heart that the country is important or the beauty is important?"

Xiao Jinyu said without thinking: "The king of the country is bound to win, and the same is true for the beauty." ”

Liu Fuxin looked at him definitely and said: "You can't have both fish and bear's paws, the prince should understand this truth better than the concubine." Think about it, what will happen if you don't return the princess of Chu? The king of Chu is bound to suppress you more in the court, and he will not show mercy. Once the crown prince is seized by him, he will become the emperor in the future, will you still be okay? Don't talk about the power at that time, even the princess of Chu will have to return it to him. ”

Slowly, "On the contrary, if the prince can achieve great things and have the world, will you still be worried that the beauty will not be able to return to you?"

Xiao Jinyu was silent for a moment, Liu Fuxin thought that she had moved him, but she didn't expect Xiao Jinyu to stand up, he approached her step by step, with a mysterious smile on his face.

Xiao Jinyu put his hands behind his back, he slowly leaned down, close to Liu Fuxin's face, "Do you think that if you say this, this king will listen to you? ”

Liu Fuxin's smile slowly cooled down, and she looked at the determined look in her brown and black eyes that were close at hand, and her heart gradually cooled. Suddenly, her soft voice was like a breeze blowing into Xiao Jinyu's ears, "Could it be that in the heart of the prince, the throne is not as important as a woman?"

Is the throne less important than a woman?

This sentence seemed to pierce his heart, and Xiao Jinyu would ring in his ears from time to time.

He looked at Rong Zhao, who was watching the shadow puppet and laughing happily, and his brows became tighter and tighter.

"Cousin, cousin?" At the end of a shadow puppet show, Rong Zhao turned his head to look at Xiao Jinyu, but saw that he didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't react after calling twice.

"Huh, it's over?" Xiao Jinyu came back to her senses, shook Rong Zhao's hand, and said gently, "Are you happy to see it?"

Qiushui took the fruit bowl and put it on the table between the two of them, "Miss eats fruit." ”

Rong Zhao took out her hand and peeled off a grape by the way, her face was obviously a little unhappy, "I'm happy to see it, but my cousin doesn't seem to be willing to accompany me here." If you have something to do, or if you have someone else in mind, you can go. ”

She pursed her mouth and grunted again.

"How can I worry about others?" Xiao Jinyu was impatient with Rong Zhao before, but now she has the patience to coax her. He walked up to her, looked down and asked, "What's wrong? Are you so angry?"

Rong Zhao twisted his body to the side, snorted, and said angrily: "You must be thinking about the princess of your family, although people are here, my heart has already run back." ”

"Nonsense, I only have you in my heart, how can I think of other women. Xiao Jinyu gently twisted Rong Zhao's body over and said.

Qiushui stuck out his tongue behind his back, glanced at him, and secretly said in his heart: "It's disgusting, and you will talk flatteringly and coax Miss." She frowned and looked at Rong Zhao with a snort, her heart was shouting, "Miss, be sober, don't be deceived by him." ”

Rong Zhao only cared about the affection in front of her, how could she see Qiushui squeezing her eyebrows behind her, she sneered at Xiao Jinyu, and there was a sweet smile on her face that couldn't be hidden, "What you said is true?"

Xiao Jinyu nodded, "Of course, when did I lie to you?"

Rong Zhao smiled even sweeter, couldn't help but get close to him, tilting his head, "You really didn't lie to me?"

Xiao Jinyu's expression changed in a hurry, and soon, in an instant, he stroked Rong Zhao's hair, "Of course not, how could I lie to Zhao Zhao?" He lowered his head, his forehead against Rong Zhao's forehead, his breathing intertwined.

"Ahemβ€”ahemβ€”" Lonely Eagle watched the two of them get closer and closer, and deliberately cleared his throat.

She was very angry in her heart, Miss, you were really poured ecstasy soup by this King of Jin, and your flickering mind was not clear, are you sorry for the prince?

Rong Zhao's face flushed, and he leaned back, widening the distance between the two people.

"And what did you just think?" she asked.

Xiao Jinyu hesitated, as if she didn't know how to speak. Rong Zhao pursed his mouth and shook his arm, "You said it." ”

Xiao Jinyu's face had a faint sadness on his face, and he glanced at the autumn water and the lonely bird. Rong Zhao understood and let the two of them go out, but Qiushui and Gu Yu were reluctant and did not follow Miss, they were not at ease, for fear that Miss would be taken advantage of by King Jin.

"What are you doing standing here, go out! Miss Ben can't talk again? You two are not beaten, aren't you?" Rong Zhao is not as good at talking as before, and he will beat someone if he disagrees.

Although Qiushui was reluctant, he didn't want to be beaten yet, so he dragged the lonely bird and walked towards Rong Zhaofufu's body, "Yes, the slave obeys the order." Her resentful gaze hurriedly swept from Xiao Jinyu's face, "If Miss has something to do, just call the slaves and maids, and the slaves and maids will stand outside and serve." ”

Hmph, this King of Jin has a lot of bellies, and he doesn't know what to say to Miss, so he asked Miss to let them out. What a villain, hypocrite!!, she didn't listen, and when she went out, she put her ear to the crack in the door to see who he was talking about. And she had to keep an eye on her, and if he had ill intentions toward her, she rushed in to protect her.

"It's still Luoxia who sticks to my heart, these two don't agree with me everywhere, and sometimes they are so presumptuous that they talk back to me, it's really undersigned. Rong Zhao plucked the autumn water and the lonely bird, and complained to Xiao Jinyu, "When the weather is not good for me, I have to teach them a good lesson." ”

Xiao Jinyu didn't want Qiushui and Gu Yu to stay by Rong Zhao's side, for fear that they would say something to Rong Zhao that they shouldn't say, so he would arrange for someone to accompany Rong Zhao these days, so as to prevent only those two maids and Rong Zhao from being alone together.

"Since you don't want to go out, why do you need to put it around you?"

Rong Zhao shook his head, "Two of my original four maids died, and only these two remained, anyway, they grew up with me, and I really couldn't bear to send them out, so I stayed by my side and handed over tea and water." ”

Xiao Jinyu smiled and nodded, "Okay, it's up to you, you can do whatever you want." ”

Rong Zhao felt like honey in his heart, pursed his lips and smiled at him. Suddenly, she remembered what she had just asked, "By the way, what were you going to say?"

Xiao Jinyu restrained her smile and sighed, "King Chu is dissatisfied with me because you are here. He knew that Changsheng Bo's Mansion had close contacts with me, so he played a conspiracy to set up a situation for Changshengbo's third son, so that the third prince would be charged with murder. In the past two days, he has caused the people who installed the imperial history platform to impeach Changsheng Bofu and Jiang Jiajun, and he is because of me, so he wants to destroy Changsheng Bofu. ”

A few days ago, Jiang Shuhang went to Guose Tianxianglou to find fun, because he had a conflict with others because of the fight for women, he drank too much and shot out of proportion, and beat the other party to death. Because of this incident, he was simply anxious, and used his connections up and down, hoping to settle the case and let Jiang Shuhang get out of this incident.

But I don't know why this matter was known by the people of Yushitai, they originally negotiated with the family of the deceased, but it made a big fuss, Jiang Shuhang was imprisoned because of this, and Changsheng Bofu went to him every day to cry and beg for his son's life, he was almost annoyed to death, and only when he went to Zhuangzi and was with Rong Zhao could he relax his mind.

"Huh?" Rong Zhao was in a trance, angry at Xiao Junjue, "Xiao Junjue is really too despicable, why is he so treacherous!

Xiao Jinyu just wanted to plant a seed of resentment against Xiao Junjue in Rong Zhao's heart, he sighed, he could say as many disadvantages as he could, "My father listened to their words, and was very dissatisfied with Changsheng Bofu, and reprimanded Changsheng Bo in front of the ministers, and let the Yushitai Criminal Department and the three divisions of Dali Temple interrogate and thoroughly investigate this matter, once it is verified, it will be severely punished." I'm afraid that when the time comes, even I will be involved. ”
