Chapter 138: The Golden Flower at the Corner of the Lips (Second Update)
Han Youning moved his hand, poured another cup of tea for him, and looked at him expectantly, "Tell me about it, there is no one else here."
She took Ling'er away just to let him speak freely.
Zhao Chengyuan withdrew his hand, looked at the little girl's unconscious appearance, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
He told her the whole story, and said, "The emperor is profitable, so he lures him with profit. He protects Yongping Marquis because of profit, and he can also abandon Yongping Marquis because of profit. But this benefit cannot be clearly placed in front of him, but let him discover it for himself. Smart people always trust what they see."
Han Youning was stunned when he heard this, so it makes sense that Zhao Chengyuan can live to this day in peace. Every word I say to the emperor must be accurately calculated.
While she was impressed, she couldn't help but be afraid, "The prince is in a deep quagmire, it is a good opportunity for the emperor to suppress you, if he refuses to save you and take the opportunity to cut the knight, what should the prince do?"
Zhao Chengyuan smiled, and was also happy to talk to the little girl, "Suppression in secret is suppression, and on the surface, it is still necessary to maintain a good brother and brother Gongcai."
Han Youning said sympathetically, "It's really tiring to be born in the royal family......
Her heart fluttered.
At this time, I calmed down and thought about the events at the city gate again, as well as the overwhelming condemnation of King Jin in the city in the past few days, and I had a different feeling.
This denunciation is a bit too violent. Zhao Chengyuan is a dignified prince, those people are not afraid of retaliation, and those students are not afraid of affecting their careers?
She looked at Zhao Chengyuan scrutinically, "Lord Wang, wouldn't all those condemnations be guided by you?"
Zhao Chengyuan said with a smile, "Exactly. Only if I am in a weak position can the Imperial Brother let go of my guard against me and adopt my advice."
There is another benefit, the disaster leads to the east.
Han Youning was secretly frightened.
He's taking ten steps at a time.
At that time, she was thinking that if she caught the family of Hu Zhifu, the Marquis of Yongping would be detained, but Zhao Chengyuan had already predicted that the emperor would try his best to protect the Marquis of Yongping, and from then on, he began to set up a situation.
Zhao Chengyuan saw her doubts, and continued to explain patiently without waiting for her to ask.
"When the Marquis of Yongping first returned to the capital, the emperor was angry with the Marquis of Yongping because of the matter involved in your aunt's dowry, but the Marquis of Yongping entered the palace once, and the emperor's anger was calmed. There must be two if there is one, as long as it is not related to the emperor's vital interests, he can protect the first time, and naturally he can also protect the second time."
Han Youning picked up the article "Ten Questions to the King of Jin" on the bookcase, "So, Liao Yuansi's fierce words were also instructed by the prince?"
Zhao Chengyuan smiled, "It's just a good situation, I have never met him, so I can't tell you."
Han Youning was surprised, "He's not the prince's person?"
Zhao Chengyuan shook his head and smiled, "Fiction and reality, there must always be something true in order to stand the test of scrutiny. No matter how much the emperor investigates, the condemnation will not be found on my head."
Han Youning felt more and more that Zhao Chengyuan was unfathomable, and he was so accurate in calculating people's hearts.
She originally thought that Liao Yuansi was Zhao Chengyuan's person, and he was a secret chess move by the prince's side, but wasn't it?
Liao Yuansi can get involved in this matter, so he is already standing in line at this time, and it is not surprising that he is the prince's faction, right?
The Liao family is a famous family, which means that the whole family is also standing behind the prince.
The idea of cutting him off while he was still young suddenly arose in her heart, but as soon as the thought arose, she pressed it down again.
If you are unscrupulous for revenge, what is the difference between you and those you hate?
In his previous life, although Liao Yuansi was reused by the emperor, he did not do anything evil after all.
Han Youning reminded, "Liao Yuansi is a quick thinker and insightful, and he will definitely be able to become a great tool in the future. If the prince can't take him for his own use, he must be on guard."
Zhao Chengyuan smiled and should be.
How can a little girl be so sensitive to temple matters at such a young age?
However, some people can use it for others if they don't take it for their own use, or even better.
Although I was relieved that I didn't have to worry about him anymore, I could think about myself
He was arguing with Liao Yuansi at the gate of the city that day, but before he won, Han Youning snorted coldly.
"I argued with Liao Yuansi that day, didn't the prince think it was funny?"
Zhao Chengyuan saw her pouting and looking like she was settling accounts with others, and couldn't help but reach out and scratch her beautiful nose, "How can you think it's funny, you are willing to defend me, in front of so many people, it's too late for me to be happy."
Han Youning wrinkled his nose, "Really?"
"Of course." Zhao Chengyuan smiled, "If it weren't for your trouble, I'm afraid things wouldn't be so real, and it's not a good thing to be too one-sided."
"I think so, too."
Han Youning laughed, his eyes crooked, and there were fragments of starlight inside.
The candle flame flickered, reflecting on her red face, adding some ambiguous color, as bright as a peach and plum.
Zhao Chengyuan looked away and looked out the window.
The night sky is vast, the moon is thin and the stars are numerous, and the small courtyard is dark and quiet.
The glutinous rice osmanthus cake on the charcoal pot has been warmed, exuding the sweet fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and the whole study is full of sweet taste.
Han Youning asked, "The osmanthus cake is already warm, can the prince still eat it?"
Zhao Chengyuan turned around, and saw that Han Youning had already picked up a glutinous rice cake by himself and ate it, his cheeks bulging, like a little squirrel.
The small lips were ruddy and delicate, and the corners of the lips were sticky with a golden osmanthus flower, which was moist and shining, but she didn't notice it, and let it move there as she chewed.
His throat moved, he withdrew his gaze, reached out and took a bite of an osmanthus cake.
The osmanthus cake is soft and glutinous, and the lips and teeth are sweet osmanthus.
Under the careful tasting, the tip of the tongue can even feel the presence of osmanthus.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Han Youning again.
The golden flower is still there.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Han Youning asked while busy eating, "Why didn't the prince speak?"
Zhao Chengyuan pointed to her lips, although she was serious, her voice was unconsciously a little low, "There is nectar there."
Han Youning didn't turn his head to avoid Zhao Chengyuan, licked it up and down with his tongue, and then turned around, "Is there anything else?"
The corners of the lips are still shiny, and the lips are becoming more moist and delicate.
Zhao Chengyuan frowned slightly.
Although the little girl knew to avoid him and turn her head, she was still not wary of the man enough.
How did she know how sinful and dark the man's heart was, and what she should do at this time was to wipe it with a handkerchief.
No, she should have chased him away.
It's already the second watch, where is there a reason to stay alone with a man for so long.
He ate half of the osmanthus cake in his hand, stood up and went to get the big cake, "It's getting late, I'm leaving."
"In such a hurry?"
Han Youning felt suddenly, he hadn't finished saying this, why was he in such a hurry?
Zhao Chengyuan put on the ink fox coat, and the whole person looked cold, "You go to bed early."
With that, he glanced at the corner of her lips again, turned and walked out of the study, pushed open the door and stepped into the night.
Han Youning looked at the closed door and said stunned, "Okay."
