Chapter 340: The Grace of a Meal

Shangguan Li sat down, opened the food box, poured himself a cup of tea first, and took a sip.

The eyes light up slightly, and it is the tea that I have never drunk, but the taste is good.

"Hey, I heard that the county lord is coming, and I came back from afar, why don't you ignore me?"

Xuanyuan Ye was no longer concave by the window, and swaggered over to her and sat down. He seemed to have been in the night for a long time, and there was a clammy and cold air that lingered around him.

"Then may I ask where the prince has gone?"

Shangguan Li's tone was quite perfunctory, but Xuanyuan Ye was completely unimpressed and said with a smile.

"It's not a big deal, I went out and listened to the root of the wall. I'm hungry right now. ”

"Hmm, you want to eat?"

Shangguan Li casually handed him a plate of acacia cakes.

She didn't ask Xuanyuan what he was listening to, after all, everyone had their own things to do. But I don't know if it's her illusion, Xuanyuan Ye's movements seem to be getting more and more recently.

Xuanyuan Ye looked at the plate in her hand for a long time, and took it with a reluctant face.

"At this time, the acacia cake is the most common pastry, and I have eaten a lot of it in various places during this time, and it must be like that in the Shengyue Tower."

After speaking, the "hungry" King Zhenbei did not move, but stuffed the plate of acacia cake back.

Shangguan Li: "......"

What's wrong?

"By the way, does the prince know what's going on with Yu'er going down the mountain?"

She simply changed the subject.

"You eat first, and I'll tell you when I'm done."

Xuanyuan Ye propped his chin and looked at her with a smile.

"Eat and sleep, don't you know?"

Shangguan Lixin said that you are not a person who abides by the rules.

But for the sake of intelligence, she endured.

She eats quickly, but with a moderate amount of relaxation, which does not make people think that she has not eaten for a few days, and no one thinks that she is a good lady of the family.

Xuanyuan watched her eat quietly for a while, as if he hadn't seen anything she ate. made Shangguan Li want to stop halfway and ask: You really don't eat?

A moment later, when Shangguan Li was still drinking tea, Xuanyuan Ye suddenly spoke.

"That's news from the palace."

Shangguan Li paused, reacted that it was about the ball, and listened attentively.

"The emperor got the news that Ling Gongzi's course in Taiyuan Academy had ended, so he personally ordered Duan Qingshui to release him."

Her hand clenching the teacup tightened slightly.

"Didn't you say that even the emperor can't personally intervene in the affairs of Taichen Academy?"

As soon as she said the words, she knew that she had said something stupid, and sure enough, Xuanyuan Ye smiled lightly.

"That's just for people to see, after all, the world is the emperor's world, if Taichen Yuan can really transcend the imperial power, it won't survive now."

"yes."

Shangguan Li put down the teacup.

"I'm naïve, but the emperor has a lot of opportunities, and the affairs of Taichen Yuan shouldn't reach his ears so easily, right?"

Xuanyuan nodded his chin.

"It's up to you, the county lord."

"Me?"

A flash of normalcy suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Although I haven't asked, there should be some deal between the county lord and King An, right?"

Xuanyuan Ye knew that this matter was not unexpected by Shangguan Li, but she didn't know why, listening to his somewhat ridiculous tone, she actually had the illusion that she should have told him earlier.

She put everything aside and nodded.

"There's one thing, about my face."

Xuanyuan raised his eyebrows and said in a joking tone.

"I'm just guessing, I don't need to tell me the specific county lord, it's actually King An......"

"Feng Sibei wants to use the poison on my face to make a fuss and hit the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Shangguan Li said straight.

"I just didn't deal with the Prime Minister's Mansion, so I agreed."

After a pause, she asked.

"Since the prince mentioned this matter, it was Feng Sibei who brought this news to the emperor?"

Her question was not answered, and when she looked up, Xuanyuan Ye's face was a little gloomy for some reason, and there was an astonishing layer of frost under her eyes.

Shangguan Li's heart sank, and before she could say anything, she heard Xuanyuan Ye's deep voice.

"Is it a poison on your face?"

It turned out to be this.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

"yes, some little tricks, it's been done a long time ago."

Xuanyuan looked at her fixedly for a long time.

"It turns out that the county lord didn't wear that face before to disguise, but that's right, I heard that the birthmark on the face of the third lady of the Prime Minister was from the age of ten, and it was really ...... at that time."

The voice behind him was so small that even Shangguan Li couldn't hear it clearly.

"What?"

"Well, nothing."

He returned to normal, smiling and patting her on the head.

"But what kind of sacredness is it that can poison you the county lord, I also want to see it."

Shangguan Li gave him a roll of his eyes.

"Listening to the tone of the prince, I seem to appreciate that person."

"Appreciation."

Xuanyuan nodded quickly.

"Let's not talk about this for now, how did the county lord think of telling me about this?"

Shangguan Lihu glanced at him suspiciously, but in the end he didn't pursue it, and said lightly.

"Anyway, you can find out, for the sake of you inviting me to a meal, you don't have to work hard."

"Oh, yes, I thought it ......"

"Why?"

Xuanyuan Ye leaned his head over, and he was still wrapped in the cold air that had not dissipated in the night, as well as the faint fragrance of grass and trees.

"I thought the county lord was worried that I would ignore you."

His tail note was a little vague, and it was a little lazy under the pull of the lights.

Shangguan Li felt an itch in his ears.

Subconsciously took half a step back.

When he retreated, he saw his face, half of which was covered with shadows, unable to hide a serious light under his eyes.

"You ......"

"Just kidding."

Xuanyuan Ye's expression suddenly changed, revealing a sly smile.

"We're all friends over the years, I'm sure I won't ignore the county lord, do you still need to guess?"

Shangguan Li: "......"

I've seen narcissism, but I've never seen such narcissism.

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business."

Looking at Shangguan Li's dangerous eyes, Xuanyuan Ye finally became normal.

"If it's like what the county lord said, why does His Royal Highness King An have to take such a step?"

"I'm in a hurry."

The window was not closed, and the wind blew in a few acacia flowers, she reached out to catch them, put them in her mouth and chewed them, and said while eating.

"After Feiluantai, he came to me to discuss this matter, and I agreed at that time. Later, there were too many things, and I never found the best opportunity, probably because I saw that I was slow to act, thinking that I was going to regret it. ”

Xuanyuan Ye let out a long "um" and said leisurely.

"From this point of view, His Royal Highness King An should go to the Jingtang today for this matter."

"He's gone to the Quiet Hall?"
