Chapter 216: The Driving Force Behind the Scenes
In one of the largest ready-to-wear stores in the capital, Shen Xiang took a maid to choose clothes for Ling Xiaoxiao, and after a while, a little maid came over and invited Shen Xiang to the teahouse next door.
Shen Xiang went up to the second floor of the teahouse, in a private room, and saw an elegant woman sitting by the window, and her side face was still a little familiar.
Hearing the sound, the woman turned her head and saw Shen Xiang, with a smile on her face, "Shen Xiaoniang." ”
"See the side concubine. ”
Ling Chuyu didn't know anything about all this, and at this time she was being taken to eat in the restaurant by Li Xiujing, who was busy and idle.
"Lord Wang, why did you bring me here?"
When Li Xiujing heard this, he didn't rush to answer, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Ling Chuyu, and then said, "Taste it, the tea in this house is not bad." ”
Ling Chuyu picked up the teacup and tasted it, it was indeed okay, but she wanted to know why this busy man brought herself.
After taking a sip, he put it down, turned his head to look at Li Xiujing, waiting for him to answer.
Li Xiujing was a little amused, and pushed over a plate of dim sum, "The negotiation has been delayed for a long time, and recently King Cheng has had another incident, and the emperor will not allow Xiqi to continue to drag on, presumably there will be a conclusion whether King Fuling will die or live in the next few days." ”
Ling Chuyu blinked, a little puzzled in his heart, did this have anything to do with him bringing himself to dinner?
Li Xiujing shook his head, "I was thinking that you were about to return to Daoping Nunnery, life in the nunnery is hard, I specially came to take you to eat something delicious, and ......" Li Xiujing suddenly lowered his voice, looked at Ling Chuyu and said, "Also, I want to meet you." ”
Encountering Li Xiujing's extremely aggressive eyes, Ling Chuyu's face was a little red, and he looked away uncomfortably, concentrating on dealing with the cup of tea in front of him, and wondered why this person suddenly changed his temper.
Li Xiujing saw that she was shy, so he didn't continue to provoke her, and concentrated on feeding, until Ling Chuyu said that he couldn't eat anymore, and then put down his chopsticks.
"Lord Wang, you said that if King Yu finally solves this problem, will the emperor really make him the crown prince?" Ling Chuyu was also a little curious, because the things in this life were too different from the previous life, and she couldn't use the memories of the previous life to measure this life.
She blindly guarded against becoming the king, because in the previous life, it was the king who caused her family to be ruined, and Li Xiujing was accused of a trumped-up crime.
But in this life, King Cheng suffered a lot of losses in the hands of King Yu, if King Yu sat in that position, what would Li Xiujing do?
What if King Yu wants to deal with Li Xiujing in the future?
Unconsciously, Ling Chuyu had already put Li Xiujing in the first place in his heart, and he was thinking about him all the time.
On the contrary, Li Xiujing didn't care, "There is the Zhang family behind King Yu, and the emperor will not be so easy to establish King Yu as the prince, and it is not certain whether King Yu can complete the task this time!"
Ling Chuyu was only puzzled for a moment, then he understood, and his eyes widened slightly, "Do you have a plan?"
Li Xiujing shook his head, "You should ask me if Lord Xu has a plan." ”
Xiqi's envoy is an old fritter, since he can calculate to become a king, then he must be able to calculate King Yu.
It's just that Li Xiujing hesitated a little and hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's just that King Fuling may have to be left with his life." ”
Ling Chuyu didn't care about King Fuling's life and death, "It doesn't matter if he dies or not, it's just that if he lives, will he talk nonsense?"
"Don't worry, he doesn't dare!" Li Xiujing was very sure, seeing him so confident, Ling Chuyu felt a little reminisce.
Isn't there his hand behind these?
Li Xiujing saw Ling Chuyu's expression and knew that she understood, and he didn't explain, he knew that this girl would understand herself.
Sure enough, after Ling Chuyu was taken aback, his expression gradually became a little proud.
In her previous life, this person only shined on the battlefield, but now she sees the other side of him, and she only feels that she is worthy of being a fan of herself.
However, she was a little curious, "How did you let King Cheng be fooled?" Although King Cheng is lustful, with his scheming, he will not sleep with someone as troublesome as Princess Xiqi.
When Li Xiujing heard this, he almost squirted out a mouthful of water, and looked at Ling Chuyu with a smile and a smile, "Although I was behind the scenes, I didn't arrange for Li Che to ......" Li Xiujing just wanted to say that he was sleeping with a woman, and when he saw Ling Chuyu, he swallowed the words.
"I'm just agreeing with Lord Xu. ”
Ling Chuyu nodded and did not continue to ask.
After the two of them had eaten, Li Xiujing asked the fifteenth general to send them back, and he went to the embassy for a walk.
When he went, King Yu was arguing with Lord Xu, and after a round of inspection, he saw that there was nothing wrong with him, so Li Xiujing went back.
To say that King Yu was really happy in the mansion when he heard the news that King Cheng was grounded, he didn't have any scheming, and when he came to see Lord Xu, he inevitably brought out a few points.
Coupled with Lord Xu's compliments, the conditions of not giving an inch at the beginning could not help but loosen a little, and Lord Xu struck while the iron was hot and added a lot of conditions.
To say that although King Yu had no scheming and a straightforward temperament in the past, he was not a person at the mercy of others.
This time, I don't know if King Cheng's grounding made him get carried away, or if he wanted to fight quickly, he made a verbal agreement with Lord Xu at the moment, and rushed directly into the palace to report the news to the emperor.
After experiencing the matter of becoming a king, the emperor also began to be vigilant in his heart, he used to only guard against Li Xiujing, and felt that the other sons had always been under his control, and they would fight for the throne if they wanted to, anyway, they couldn't turn over the palm of their hands.
But the matter of becoming a king made him vigilant, whether he was too indulgent to these sons, but when he thought that there was a king of Yu, he felt better.
This time, I have to mention that King Yu will plan well, and this position will be passed on to him in the future.
As soon as the emperor made up his mind, King Yu came in in a hurry, and when he told the emperor about the negotiated terms.
The emperor's blood surged, they Tianxu was the victorious country, King Yu not only promised to release King Fuling, but also promised to trade, promised to sign a stop agreement, and the compensation was very small, and the emperor almost fainted.
"Idiot!"
King Yu didn't know why, and the emperor didn't have the heart to explain, so he directly asked Gonggong Qian to find Li Xiujing and asked him to go to the embassy to negotiate with Lord Xu.
"Tell the king of loyalty and righteousness that you must talk about it today, and if you can't talk about it, he is the only one who asks. The emperor didn't care about the image of a loving father, and directly issued an ultimatum.
Zhongyi Palace, Li Xiujing received the order expressionlessly.
This is his good father, and in the eyes of his father, he exists to wipe the ass of those two fools.
In the past, he would still be unwilling, but not now!
