In the side hall, Chen Tian was still drinking and eating alone, and from time to time he would signal Xiahou's father and daughter to drink together, but the two were unmoved, and still sat at the table, giving Chen Tian the illusion that the two of them had agreed in advance.

I don't know how many glasses of wine I drank, Chen Tian put down his chopsticks, looked at Xiahou's father and daughter and said, "Don't you want to know what the emperor is doing?" ”

"Gongzi forbids words, how dare we speculate on the emperor's thoughts." Xiahou Zhengcheng hurriedly reminded him.

"There are no outsiders here, let's discuss it in a whisper, the emperor won't know." As he spoke, he glanced back at the maidservant behind him and asked, "Will you tell the emperor?" ”

"Childe atoned for his sins!" The maidservant behind him was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly knelt down and said.

Chen Tian couldn't help but roll his eyes, got up to help the maid behind him, and said, "I'm just joking, don't kneel down without moving." ”

The maidservant stood up in fear and said in a trembling voice: "Please don't joke with the slave and maid in the future." ”

Chen Tian said apologetically: "I'm sorry, this time I was abrupt." ”

Chen Tian hurriedly apologized, and after the maidservant girl stood up again, he returned to his seat and sat down, and continued: "Before the emperor comes back, let's discuss and discuss, if you don't say it, I won't say it, the emperor will definitely not know." ”

"Chen Gongzi, you..."

"Forget it, I'll analyze it myself." Chen Tian raised his hand to interrupt Xiahou Zhengcheng's words and muttered to himself.

Xiahou's father and daughter glanced at each other, didn't speak again, just looked at Chen Tian quietly.

After Chen Tian poured himself a drink, he said slowly: "I think the emperor should be going to deal with the affairs of the Ye clan!" ”

Xiahou's father and daughter were still sitting upright, without speaking, Chen Tian didn't care, and continued: "I think the emperor should have wanted to do something to the Ye clan a long time ago, but because there is no good reason, this time they offended me, do you think it is a good opportunity?" ”

As he spoke, he didn't forget to glance at Xiahou's father and daughter, and their faces changed, but they quickly covered up the past.

Chen Tian smiled and continued: "What do you think the emperor will do with the Ye Clan and destroy the sect?" Or expelled from the Yangchong Empire? ”

When he said this, Chen Tian stared at Xiahou's father and daughter, as if waiting for the two of them to give him an answer.

Being stared at by Chen Tian like this, the two of them had a feeling of being on their backs, but they still kept silent, their eyes couldn't help but glance to the side, and they didn't dare to look at Chen Tian.

After looking at it for a long time, Chen Tian slowly retracted his gaze and said, "It's okay if you don't say it, I'll change the question." ”

This time, he looked at Xiahou Qingyi and said slowly: "The last time we met, do you think it was an accident or someone deliberately arranged it?" ”

Xiahou Qingyi's gaze was a little evasive, and he said hesitantly: "That... It must be accidental, no one knew in advance that you were here, how could someone deliberately arrange it! ”

Hearing Xiahou Qingyi's answer, Chen Tian just smiled, turned his head to look at the palace gate, and said, "If you don't come in again, I'm afraid the food will be cold." ”

Hearing Chen Tian's inexplicable words, the faces of Xiahou's father and daughter changed, and they all turned their heads to look at the palace gate.

"Hahaha!" After half a ring, there was a hearty laugh outside the palace gate, and then Emperor Xiao of Yangchong slowly walked from outside the gate of the palace, followed by a young man, who was Xiao Jing, the prince of the Yangchong Empire.

Seeing Emperor Yangchong, Xiahou's father and daughter got up one after another, bent down slightly and said, "I've seen the emperor, the prince." ”

In his voice, there was no sincerity and fear just now, and he was a little more calm.

Chen Tian drank the wine leisurely, glanced at Xiahou's father and daughter, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, you can't pretend anymore?" ”

Xiahou Zhengcheng smiled bitterly, and Xiahou Qingyi also spread his hands helplessly.

Seeing this, Emperor Yang Chong laughed and said, "This kid is very shrewd, and he is indeed not easy to deceive. ”

As he spoke, he had already come to the main seat and sat down, Xiao Jing also sat down beside him, and nodded to Chen Tian, which was regarded as a greeting, Chen Tian also nodded to him, and then looked at Xiao Jing on the main seat.

Xiao Jing didn't blush, took a sip of the wine glass without a heartbeat, and said, "Tell me, when did you find out." ”

Chen Tian gave a thumbs up and said, "The emperor has to be a thick-skinned person." ”

Xiao Jing was not angry because of Chen Tian's rather offensive words, but just smiled and waved his hand, signaling Chen Tian to continue.

Chen Tian scolded secretly, "Old fox, there is no one with this cheek." ”

But he still continued: "The meeting between me and Xiahou Qingyi and Ye Cheng was deliberately arranged by you!" ”

Xiao Jing nodded and said, "They were indeed arranged by me, but they didn't know in advance, and Tsing Yi only found out just now, as for Ye Cheng, I'm afraid he won't know until he dies." ”

"In other words, Ye Cheng deliberately targeted me, not arranged by you?" Chen Tian asked rhetorically.

This time, Xiao Jing hurriedly shook his head and denied: "I just arranged for them to meet you, and I didn't let him deliberately target you." ”

Chen Tian nodded, barely believing it, and continued: "Was the Ye clan destroyed by you?" ”

Xiao Jing nodded again, his face was as usual, without the slightest hint of surprise, it seemed that he had expected Chen Tian to guess this.

Chen Tian didn't continue to analyze, but asked, "What mistake did the Ye clan make that would make you want to kill them in a deliberate way?" ”

"Actually, I didn't make any mistakes, I just wanted to usurp the throne." Xiao Jingyun said lightly, as if he was telling a very ordinary thing.

Chen Tian couldn't help but be stunned, he really wanted to give Xiao Jing another thumbs up, everyone else was going to usurp the throne and said it so lightly, and he didn't know if his heart was big enough or everything was in his control, so he was so light-hearted.

After a while, Chen Tiancai continued: "You already know that the Ye clan is going to rebel, so why don't you just do it?" ”

"I was going to do it, but you just happened to come at this time, so I will do it, after all, Ye Heng is also one of my right-hand men, if I am charged with rebellion, then where should I put the face of the royal family." Xiao Jing said slowly.

Chen Tian nodded, expressing understanding, and then said, "That means that the fate of the Ye clan will not change with or without me." ”

"Yes, your presence hastened their deaths." Xiao Jing said slowly.

"You're doing all this to test me? And the Ye clan is just an incidental. Chen Tian said again.

"It can also be said that after all, we have to cooperate, and I will always see if your strength is not." Xiao Jing said.

"Are you satisfied with the results now?" Chen Tian took a sip of wine and said.

"Hahaha, if I wasn't satisfied, I wouldn't be sitting here." Xiao Jing said with a laugh.
