Chapter 685: Bartering
Mu Yan slowly approached Xia Qianwei, and there was a bit of crazy malice in her eyes, so she was really pretending to be calm, and the people around her were dismissed by him, it was impossible for her to be afraid!
The man stretched out his hand to ruffle the long hair around Xia Qianwei's neck, looked at the fair skin, and deliberately showed a frivolous smile.
"There are too many chips bet by the Fourth Highness, so there is no need to scare the courtiers." However, Xia Qianwei was unmoved, she knew that today, Mu Yan had already paid so much, and it was impossible to let Concubine Zhuang's fulfillment be in vain in order to vent her hatred for a while.
Xia Qianwei's attitude completely angered Mu Yan, only to hear a bang, he slapped his palm without warning, and the vase on the table on the side cracked in response, but even so, it still didn't hurt the woman in front of him in the slightest.
His chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes seemed to want to cut Xia Qianwei with a thousand knives.
There is nowhere to vent this grievance in his heart, he obviously wants to do evil without scruples as before, but as Xia Qianwei said, he is no longer qualified to be free......
"His Royal Highness has really changed a lot."
"What did you say?!" Mu Yan's voice was hoarse and low, like a beast that might go berserk at any time, and his eyes were red and bloodshot.
"In the past, although His Highness did not compromise his means, he could not talk about brilliance, but he was able to be his own master, but now he has to look at people's faces everywhere, even if His Highness gets that position?"
Xia Qianwei's words deeply hurt Mu Yan's self-esteem, and she unceremoniously ridiculed him for being someone else's dog now, timid, and no longer free and wanton as before.
Even Mu Yan didn't know his current self, he obeyed King Ming's arrangement, and successfully took off the title of the former debauched prince, so that others were impressed by him, but is this what he wants?
He wants to see the expressions of those people who are not used to seeing him but dare to be angry in person, rather than false flattery!
It turned out that the involuntary taste of being himself was so unpleasant, that he wanted to smash himself in the mirror all the time!
“…… Shut up! Mu Yan lowered his head, he couldn't guarantee that Xia Qianwei would do something crazy if he continued.
However, the girl in front of her was still so ignorant of life and death, and her voice was so rational that Mu Yan was upset, "Your Highness still doesn't know your situation?" Relying on other people's things has never been stable, if you are not careful, you will lose all the plates, and if you lose, you will only be more unwilling, everything Your Highness is now just a charity from King Ming, and the taste is really so good? ”
Speaking of Mu Yunxiao, Mu Yan immediately narrowed his eyes dangerously, and he suddenly understood Xia Qianwei's intentions.
In the past, this girl had an attitude of avoiding herself when she saw her, but today she actually said so much, is it to put her heart on his mind and persuade him to turn back?
Naturally not.
"You want to work with the main hall?"
"Yes." Maybe in the eyes of others, this is definitely not a wise choice, but in Xia Qianwei's opinion, Mu Yan's humanity is not hopeless, assuming that he really rejects Concubine Zhuang's abandonment of his six relatives, then there is really no chance of cooperation.
The reason why Mu Yan is at the mercy of Mu Yunxiao is nothing more than to use the power of King Ming to suppress the prince, and then replace him, as long as he recognizes the truth, even if the prince is abolished, it is likely that he will not be able to take over the country, so in the end, he has paid so much, just a bamboo basket to make a wedding dress for others.
Xia Qianwei made no secret of her purpose, "Has Your Highness ever thought about why King Ming wants to help you?" Is it for the sake of uncle and nephew? Or is he admiring His Highness's talents and bent on assisting His Highness? ”
"......" Mu Yan was silent, but Xia Qianwei saw his thoughts.
"How could King Ming not guess the thoughts of the Fourth Highness, if he dares to be His Highness's sword, he will be sure to protect himself, and even turn against the guest." Since ancient times, how could King Ming be stupid enough to be someone else's stepping stone?
Mu Yan squinted slightly, Xia Qianwei was right, he sought the help of Uncle Ming Wang at the beginning, but he just wanted to borrow the other party's hand to consolidate his power first, and all his patience was for the future.
As long as he becomes the Ninety-Five, he will not allow Uncle Wang to continue to point fingers!
But now that I think about it, Uncle Wang is afraid that he has been on guard for a long time, so he will continue to sharpen his sharpness and destroy his will in another way!
Mu Yan once thought that he could control the situation, until Concubine Zhuang's matter made him understand that as early as after he came to seek the help of King Ming, the other party had already grasped his weakness.
And everything in his hands at the moment is just Mu Yunxiao's charity in the end!
Mu Yan looked at the stunning little face in front of him for a long time, if it was in the past, he would definitely feel that Xia Qianwei was really killing herself, obviously she could rely on such beauty to live a life that responds to her needs, but she actually wanted to meddle in the affairs of the court without knowing whether she was alive or dead.
The Phantom King is dead, what is she doing this for?
Mu Yan didn't think that Xia Qianwei was here to help him, this girl's purpose was really intriguing, but right now......
The man in front of him slowly took a few steps back and looked at Xia Qianwei with an unpredictable gaze, "If the county lord of Yongle can pass this level, it will not be too late to talk about cooperation with this hall." ”
This level?
Xia Qianwei's eyes flashed, and before he had time to think deeply, Mu Yan's eyes were already covered with a tired gray, he waved his hand lightly, and then stopped looking at the girl.
Listening to the footsteps behind him, he hesitated for a moment, and then exited the room and gradually moved away, Mu Yan slowly looked back at the direction Xia Qianwei left.
"Mother...... In the end, Erchen still did what you wanted. ”
Now that he is unable to protect himself, even his attachment and greed for Xia Qianwei have become pale and powerless.
He knew that he had more important things to do, and he no longer had the energy to play such a chase game with Xia Qianwei.
Because of his willfulness, enough lessons have been learned......
Leaving from Ningxian Palace, Xia Qianwei's mind was echoing with Mu Yan Fangcai's words, as if he was reminding her of something, and a feeling of uneasiness spread from the bottom of her heart.
"Yongle County Lord, please stay." Xia Qianwei, who was about to go to the imperial study to report to Emperor Chen in person, was blocked by a former father-in-law, "Your Majesty is entertaining the prince of Yunguo, and the matter of Ningxian Palace will be explained to Your Majesty." ”
Xia Qianwei's eyes flashed, with a calm smile on her face, and she pretended to ask casually, "But the prince of Yunguo has resigned to His Majesty again?" ”
"It's not, Your Majesty ordered a few adults to take turns to entertain you, at this juncture, how can you let people go back to Yunguo." The father-in-law looked helpless, but Xia Qianwei heard it.
Wei Xuanqi had stayed in the Chen Kingdom for so long, and others should have suspected the intentions of the prince of the Yun Kingdom, but he chose to resign to Emperor Chen when the Jin Kingdom came to attack.
This trick of wanting to capture and indulge in the cover is really amazing.
Presumably he expected that Emperor Chen would not let him leave, and now that the war is over, Chen Guo is in need of reinforcements! Only by leaving Wei Xuanqi behind can he have a chance to win the assistance of the Cloud Kingdom!
In this way, it was Zhengzhong Wei Xuanqi's arms, he was waiting for the news in the Yunguo Palace, if the Yunguo side went well, I am afraid that he had the ability to escape from the Chen Kingdom overnight!
Xia Qianwei sneered in her heart, but unfortunately, he would not easily help Chen Guo tide over the difficulties......
