Chapter 287: Lips Touching (Part II)
As part of the agreement, on the day the peace talks were reached, Li Yunuan and Feng Qingde went to Chang'an with Feng Li'er Yujian.
I have to say that the lineup involved in the coup this time is extremely luxurious, not to mention that the location of the joint is the prince's mansion, and the person in charge of welcoming guests is also star-studded.
Headed by the crown prince and the crown prince, several elders of the Dugu family, three vassal kings who returned to Beijing privately, and more than 20 famous family members and their representatives......
The dazzling gorgeous brocade clothes are famous, and even Li Yunuan, who is not very familiar with the Northern Qi court, listens to them introduce themselves one by one, and sighs sincerely: "I have admired it for a long time."
If the emperor's eagle dog suddenly broke in, I was afraid that more than half of the people would not be able to attend the court meeting on the second day.
This also shows how fierce the contradictions within the Tuoba royal family are!
Feng Li'er did not stay to attend the dinner.
Since the coup began to brew, he used the excuse of wanting to retreat and pray for the blessings of the country, and did not ask or participate in all foreign affairs, even the descendants of Xuanyuan who could be seen everywhere in the streets of Chang'an wearing the fiery red robe of the Great Xia Gate swaggered around were suddenly hibernating, and there was no trace.
Only the monks of the Yiyuan Sect wearing monks' yellow robes and knocking on wooden fish are left in the streets and alleys. And the queen also reversed the posture of abolishing the Buddha that she had insisted on for many years, gathered the concubines of the harem, donated millions of fat powder money, and wanted to open a cave near the crescent spring to repair the Buddha.
Jin Xian's sudden "retreat" and the national teacher's just right "exit" made the undercurrent of Chang'an City even more turbulent.
Li Yunuan, who had done his homework beforehand, listened attentively to the self-introductions of vultures from all walks of life, and casually said a few perfunctory words, and together with Feng Qingde, under the repeated diligence of the prince, he ascended to the first seat.
Li Yeyin didn't come with him this time.
There are too many people in Chang'an City who have seen him. Although politicians have no discipline, as long as they have enough interests, they can share the same bed with the enemy who killed their father, but in order to avoid extraneous complications, he still decided not to come to Chang'an.
It's a pity that no matter how good the excuse is, Li Yunuan also knows that the real reason why he didn't come to Chang'an was that he didn't want to face himself for the time being.
I...... hurt him......
Li Yunuan, who sat upright and pretended to appreciate the fragrance and enjoyed the singing and dancing, thought in a state of confusion.
Thoughts go back to two days ago.
That day, under a sudden impulse, she quickly stepped forward and grabbed his hand.
She was nervous, and he was equally surprised, and when he looked back, she saw for the first time in his eyes an undisguised surprise and a strong anticipation.
However, she didn't say the words he was really looking forward to.
The words have reached the throat, and when I open my mouth, what I say is: "...... Just now, I'm sorry...... I...... Chang'an...... You ......"
Before he could finish speaking, his eyes had rapidly dimmed, flickering with a dying light like a fireball about to be extinguished.
She saw his sorrow, though hidden in the bottomless darkness.
It's so rich that it can't be dissolved.
Eventually, he gently broke her hand, ending this embarrassment that had no meaning or result.
In the next few days, their relationship was extremely awkward, she didn't know how to meet and talk to him, until the eve of going to Chang'an, she deliberately avoided him, and even passed through the flower garden to calculate the time, and he had to leave her before entering.
I'm really hypocritical, smelling the rich and warm sandalwood, Li Yunuan thought to herself.
"Your face is very ugly, did Li Yeyin say something bad to you?"
It was when he was distracted that Feng Qingde's divine consciousness came lightly.
After he reminded him, Li Yunuan realized that his emotions were so exposed that even Feng Qingde could see them clearly!
Hurriedly picked up the incense bowl, and while pretending to taste the incense, he pretended to be calm and said: "I just think that these people are talking too hypocritically, and it may be better to leave it to Brother Yeyin to deal with." β
When Feng Qingde heard this, he laughed dryly twice, noncommittal.
At this time, the chatter has also been introduced into the main topic.
The two powerful deigned to participate in the incense meeting, and Xiao Wang was deeply honored. These demons of the Great Xia Gate, relying on the favor of their father, do nonsense, bully men and women, and even want to take the imperial sister as a gift to marry Mo Qingxiu, so as to win over the national teacher!"
"Princess Chen Guo is so golden, even if she is a first-class wealthy family, she still doesn't dare to climb high, how can the three surnamed slaves dare to ask for marriage!"
Although most of the Xianbei nobles don't like Li Yeyin, no matter how good they are, talented, or popular, Li Yeyin is more than ten million times better than Mo Qingxiu, the three family slaves.
When Li Yunuan heard this, he smiled perfunctorily, and said to the prince with his divine sense: "Mo Qingxiu, this person is not evil, and he has been severely punished by one of my Taoist friends on the bank of the Yellow River, and he is no longer humane. When it comes to asking for marriage, Princess Chen Guo can just rest assured. β
The first time he accepted the divine sense conversation, the prince's face was obviously a little shocked, but after all, he was noble, well-informed, side-eyed, and saw that Li Yunuan's lips did not move, and immediately put away his surprise, and said with a face as usual: "Heavenly reincarnation, there is retribution, Mo Qingxiu is destined not to marry my imperial sister." β
"Princess, how can you marry that slave!" said the nobles.
Li Yunuan also raised his glass and said: "Xuanyuan Ancestor and I have actually had a dislike for a long time, he relies on himself to be powerful, and he has pestered my sister several times, wanting to take us as a pet, fortunately, my cultivation is not bad, and I have the protection of the Phoenix Divine Monarch, so I escaped from his clutches! β
The Xianbei nobles don't know much about cultivation, they only know that they can prolong life and collect yin and yang. When they saw Li Yunuan's mask of tulle, the flower and the moon looked like a fairy looking at flowers in the fog, and the Phoenix Divine Monarch beside him was also brilliant, but he was not a mortal at first glance, and they immediately believed most of her words. There are even a few who are attentive, holding a glass and saying: "The fairy is a beauty, no wonder the old ghost is greedy!"
Li Yunuan couldn't see what they meant, but he could only bear this kind of occasion, picked up a cup of fragrant tea, and said: "On the occasion of the event, I will replace the wine with tea, thank you!"
"The fairy is polite. Half of the bones were crispy, and the crowd laughed and drank.
It's not that they are lustful, ordinary men will always have some special care and attention to beautiful women, not to mention that there is a fairy who is so beautiful that he does not stir up dust sitting here?
I don't dare to think about the fairy, but it's not my fault to take a few more looks!
Li Yunuan smiled cooperatively, and suddenly said, "I don't know how you are preparing for major events?"
This question is fast and accurate, and it goes straight to the center.
The prince showed a wary look, but the prince was full of admiration.
"Fairy Li is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows, but I don't know why Fairy Li is confident that I will tell the fairy that we are ready to send?"
Li Yunuan said: "Although the crown prince is the second person in the country, he is not the emperor after all. The monarch and the minister, the father and the son, the king wants the minister to die, the father wants the son to die, and they all have to die. What's more, now that His Majesty believes in the way of immortality, it is obvious that he does not plan to hand over the power of the state to the crown prince in the short term. In this coup d'Γ©tat, the crown prince has the backing of the Northern King's army outside the Saiwai, and the 100,000 army of his uncle Dugu Yuanyi is ready to escort him at any time, but if the imperial uncle refuses to let go, how should the 50,000 forbidden army deal with it?"
Li Yunuan noticed that Tuobaya, who was in charge of the forbidden army, did not attend the banquet.
"A woman's words!" chuckled as he sat down.
The prince coughed and motioned for them to listen to Li Yunuan.
"The key to the coup is speed, take advantage of the fact that the world has not reacted, and all the inside and outside of the palace will be pacified, at that time, even if there are still doubtful voices, as long as Her Royal Highness the Queen, the prince in power, and the civil and military forces of the half dynasty are on the side of the prince, and there is a large army to rely on, local officials will definitely congratulate the prince on his accession to the throne!"
"Go on. The prince said with a deep face.
Li Yunuan took a deep breath, if Brother Yeyin participated in this kind of occasion, he would definitely be able to convince everyone in a few words, but unfortunately she is sitting here now, she does not have his confidence and talent, she can only assume that he will talk and act on this occasion.
"As long as Your Majesty doesn't die...... Your Majesty is still Your Majesty, Crown Prince...... Even if you control the palace and the capital, it will be the same...... To no avail!"
When the last few words were spit out, Li Yunuan's palms were already sweaty, she was not afraid that these people would suddenly turn their faces, anyway, they wouldn't be able to keep her, but she was afraid that her mouth would be clumsy and they would see the depth.
Luckily, the crown prince approved of her.
"What Fairy Li said is very true, I am indeed troubled by this contradiction. β
He raised his head and looked at Li Yunuan with burning eyes.
"As the Son of Man, it is not good to kill his father. I don't want to be an unfilial son who kills his father and takes the throne, and I don't want to leave a ...... in the history books of Qianqiu It's an unbearable stroke, but if the father doesn't return to heaven, all of us can't save our lives!, so ......"
Li Yunuan understood what he meant.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to enter the palace before he admonishes him, and His Majesty hasβ"
When the prince heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Now that the fairy understands, please don't say it. Because that's what we want the fairies to do for us!"
Li Yunuan smiled.
There is no father and son in front of the throne, the prince wants to get the throne but doesn't want to bear the infamy of killing his father, so he will cooperate with her to make Tuoba Hong's death the responsibility of Xuanyuan Ancestor, and the prince can play the role of a loyal and filial son who sweeps away the demon road and helps the world!
All of them have a good calculation.
It's a pity that they played the abacus too well, forgetting that she is also a force to be reckoned with.
Of course, even if he sneered in his heart, Li Yunuan had a lovely smile on his face, and said, "I just don't know how the prince plans to help us enter the palace and hold His Majesty hostage with poison pills?"
The scheduled plan was put on the table by Li Yunuan "without knowing the proportion", and several old ministers immediately looked displeased, and the prince was also well-cultivated, and said kindly: "The palace has already done a good job in responding to this matter, but it is just that Fairy Li needs to be compromised." β
Li Yunuan said: "It's just to take what you need." After the deed is done, the benefits you have promised will not be less!"
The prince said: "Certainly, definitely!"
These people in the cultivation realm are all guys who kill people and grab treasures without blinking, since he dares to seek skin with the tiger, he has naturally prepared a means of restraint a long time ago!
So the business is over, and the rest is for the guests and hosts to enjoy themselves.
The prince is not a stingy person, but whenever Li Yunuan or Feng Qingde shows joy when they see it, they will all write it down one by one, and after the banquet is over, they will all send it to the attic where they temporarily live.
It's just that in this way, it accidentally caused some turmoil.
