Zhao Chengyuan slowly put down the teacup and looked at King Chengjun.

"Most of the king's royal brothers have not died well, most of the cousins in the three suits have escaped from the world to protect themselves, and you are the only one who is alive. You have a revered status and a forbidden army, so you should know how delicate your position is. Even if this king clears you of your sins, will you be able to live for a long time?"

King Chengjun's expression was solemn.

He hadn't thought about it yet.

After experiencing this, he knows how fragile the trust of the emperor he has always believed in is. If there is another similar thing, or someone else frames him, I am afraid that the emperor will still be like this today.

With his own ability, I'm afraid it will be a dead end in the end.

Unless......

King Chengjun clenched his fists and closed his eyes in pain.

There was silence in the living room, and Zhao Chengyuan was not in a hurry, holding tongs to stir the charcoal fire in the charcoal basin.

The red silver frost charcoal will warm the living room.

King Chengjun's heart was cold to the bone, but a layer of fine sweat oozed from his forehead.

He opened his eyes, looked at Zhao Chengyuan fixedly, and said in a deep voice, "If you want to live for a long time, you should find a way to live."

Zhao Chengyuan put down the tongs and put his hands on his knees, "No matter what kind of life path it is, it is not easy to walk, Brother Wang must think clearly."

King Chengjun decisively said, "The road of life is better than the road of despair."

He stood up and saluted solemnly to Zhao Chengyuan and Han Youning, "Thank you Lord and Princess for taking the risk to help."

Seeing that the two had reached a tacit understanding, Han Youning had a smile on his face, "King Chengjun doesn't have to be polite."

Zhao Chengyuan still looked faint, and he was not closer to him than before.

"Because of the benefits, each takes what he needs, and Brother Wang does not need to say thanks."

King Jin only talks about interests and not friendship, and seems to be just doing business. Ke Chengjun Wang is not a fool, if there is no love for Princess Jin and King Jin's brotherhood for him, I am afraid that King Jin will never interfere in this matter.

However, this seemingly ruthless remark made him feel a little more steady.

Zhenguo Mansion.

Wang Mao, the prince of Zhenguo, looked at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard with deep eyes, and after a long time, the white chess in his hand was put back into the chess basket and admitted defeat.

"Brother Liao's chess style is still as sharp as ever."

The man in Tsing Yi sitting cross-legged across from him was Liao Yuansi.

Liao Yuansi was robbed of his fame by the crown prince on the day of King Jin's wedding last year, and missed this year's examination, missing the champion. After that, he did the teaching reality of the Zhenguo Mansion, and learned to teach and study in the Wang clan in the mansion.

In fact, everyone knows that he is the staff of the Zhenguo Mansion and the right-hand man of the prince.

Liao Yuansi smiled slightly, "The prince is absent-minded, and losing chess is inevitable."

Wang Mao said, "The emperor doesn't even trust King Chengjun, which I didn't expect. Now that the emperor knows about the relationship between the two governments, it is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, and the Zhenguo Mansion is about to be wiped out, how can I calm down."

Liao Yuansi picked up the chess pieces unhurriedly, and said, "The Zhenguo Mansion is innocent, and the King of Chengjun is also innocent, but the emperor refuses to believe it, and insists on tying the two mansions together, then you will do this family business as he wishes."

"What does Brother Liao mean by this?"

"Leave to die and live." Liao Yuansi said, "Now the Zhenguo Mansion is clearly caught in the trap of the King of Jin and is in a deep quagmire. It's not easy for you to prove your innocence, but King Cheng is not in his design, and it's much easier than you to prove your innocence. If you two houses are tied together, he is innocent, and you are naturally innocent." ….

Wang Mao pondered for a moment, and immediately understood the subtlety of this, and couldn't help but slap his hands and admire, "Wonderful, wonderful! At that time, as long as a few key ministers help each other, it will be very easy for King Chengjun to clear his name."

Liao Yuansi smiled, "That's right."

The haze on Wang Mao's face was swept away, and he patted Liao Yuansi on the shoulder and said, "If he can turn over the Guogong Mansion in the future, he will definitely be rewarded to Brother Liao!"

"How will the prince thank me?"

Wang Mao didn't expect him to ask so bluntly, and he was speechless for a while.

Liao Yuansi's fame was taken away, and he was not allowed to conduct scientific examinations for the rest of his life, even if his father reused him, he could only be a staff member behind the scenes, and he could not be honest in front of people, and he could not shine on the lintel.

And the yellow and white things, he was born in a noble family and didn't look at it.

Liao Yuan said, "The so-called fame is half a paper, and there are thousands of mountains in wind and snow. But Liao has been in the wind and snow for more than ten years, and the wind and snow are not less, and his fame is empty. Now Liao has nothing else to ask for......

He looked at Wang Mao, "Liao admires the talent of the county lord of Danyang, how about the prince to allow me to do this family business?"

Wang Mao's eyes sank, and he said quietly, "Brother Liao is joking. Brother Liao should know that the younger sister is going to marry into the prince's mansion and continue the glory of the royal family."

Liao Yuansi put the last chess piece into the chess basket and said with a smile, "Liao is indeed joking. You and I have known each other for many years, how could I stand in the way of the great future of the Zhenguo Mansion."

Wang Mao knew that he was not joking, but a temptation.

But even if the Zhenguo Mansion is in a desperate situation, it can't easily give away Caidan's family affairs. She is the hope of their royal family.

But Liao Yuansi can't be easily offended, and he must be won over well. Especially at this critical juncture.

He said, "Speaking of which, I have more than one sister. The second sister has outstanding literary skills and a good temperament. You can rest assured, once a son of heaven and a courtier, Brother Liao will not have a day to recover his fame."

"Don't take it seriously, don't mention this matter again." Liao Yuansi said with a smile, "As for the Son of Heaven and a courtier, the next Son of Heaven made my name a year ago, and I don't dare to expect him to change his mind in the future. It's not bad to be a member of the prince's staff, and it's good to teach a few young ladies in their spare time."

Wang Mao said, "This time and that time. As long as Brother Liao's talent is beneficial to the community, there will always be a day when the Son of Heaven will change his mind."

Liao Yuansi smiled, and didn't dwell on this matter anymore, "The prince still tries to find a safe person to quietly leave the mansion and make a good confession with Commander Zhang, his wife, the matchmaker, don't say the wrong thing."

Wang Mao also put the matter aside for the time being, and responded, "Okay, I'll arrange it immediately."

Liao Yuansi got up and arched his hand, "In this way, Liao will retreat first."

Wang Mao bowed his head, "Brother Liao, go slowly."

Liao Yuansi put on his cloak and pushed the door and stepped out of the study.

He raised his eyes and looked at the bright woman who greeted him, a gentle smile on his face.

He bowed slightly, "The county lord is here to find the son?"

Wang Caidan's expression was cold, and he kept a few steps away from him, "Exactly. Sir, walk slowly."

Liao Yuansi looked at the ice and snow in the woman's eyes, which was a little colder than the ice in the lake. He gave up his fame for her, which was not tolerated by the clan, and in exchange for nothing but nothing.

He smiled and asked, "In the eyes of the county lord, is Liao just a teacher?"

Wang Caidan said lightly, "Mr. is a smart person, you should know very well what your identity is. If your skills are not as good as others, you should admit defeat frankly, and it is not a shame to lose to the prince of Jin. If you hold on to it and let others accept your kindness, you will lose your grace."

Liao Yuansi said with a smile, "What the county lord said is right, Liao is always inferior to King Jin. Otherwise, how could the county lord never look at Liao Mou in his eyes, and there was only one person who was full of eyes."

"Inexplicable."

Wang Caidan was told the central matter, gave him a cold look, and walked quickly into the study.

At the moment when the two of them staggered, Liao Yuansi's smiling eyes cooled.
