Chu Wuxi's eyes condensed slightly, and after a moment, he smiled lightly: "Okay, leave it to you." ”

He was about to leave, and when he walked to the gate of the edict, Xin Zhi suddenly appeared out of nowhere, "Master-"

Seeing that he was frowning, Chu Wuxian knew that there was a situation again, The two got into the carriage, and after the curtain was lowered to isolate the sight of prying eyes outside, the coachman slowly drove the carriage away.

"What?" Chu Wuxian looked at Xin Zhi.

Xin Zhi took out an invitation card from his bosom and handed it to him, and whispered: "Master, the East Palace entrusted someone to send it." ”

Xie Shuangge's ears pricked up: "Huh? Cousin of the Prince? ”

Chu Wuxi's eyes condensed slightly, he took the invitation card and didn't open it immediately, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Did you say anything?" ”

Xin Zhi nodded, "The person who sent the invitation said, it's just a small talk, If the master is unwilling, it doesn't matter if you don't go, if the master is willing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting for you there." ”

Xie Shuangge savored these words, hesitated and said, "Doesn't that still mean to let you go?" If you don't go, he'll wait there, dignified prince, who dares to make him wait all the time? ”

Xin Zhi also said: "Master, my subordinates think that the prince still wants you to go, I don't know what is going on, there will be no fraud, right?" Before, he threw an olive branch to you, but you didn't answer, and now that you are isolated by hundreds of officials, he wants to win you over again? ”

Chu Wuxian also had this guess, but what it was like would have to be seen before anyone knew.

He thought for a moment, then put the invitation to the side of the secret compartment, "Go back and let someone deal with it, don't leave a handle." ”

Xin Zhi's expression froze: "Master, what do you mean?" ”

"I'll show up for the appointment." Chu Wuxian threw down this sentence and leaned on the cushion and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Xie Shuangge wanted to speak and stopped, the prince's cousin shouldn't cheat him, right?

No way?

If it had been in the past, when she was still a little stupid, she would have firmly said that the prince's cousin would not.

But now...... Following Chu Wuxian's comings and goings, seeing all kinds of people, seeing prosperity and downfall, she has more understanding of human nature.

The world is not black and white, and so is human nature, and the prince's cousin is very good to her, because they are related by blood, there is no conflict of interest, and perhaps because of their mother, so they are destined to have a good relationship.

But Chu Wuxian is different, Xie Shuangge tried to look at this drunken capital from Chu Wuxian's point of view, and found that everyone was wearing masks, and under the masks, there were still masks.

So she will no longer say with certainty who is a good person and who is not good.

After all, good and bad are relative.

She sighed silently, "I hope the prince's cousin can stick to his heart, otherwise I won't know how to face him in the future." ”

……

As soon as the appointed day came, Chu Wuxian changed into a low-key bamboo-blue robe, his hair was tied up and a hosta was inserted, he looked like a merry man, and his temperament was cold, which was prohibitive.

The prince booked a private room in Fuju Building in advance, and Chu Wuxian was led to the peony room on the second floor as soon as he came.

Xiao Er pushed the door, didn't go in, stood at the door and said respectfully to Chu Wuxian: "Your Excellency, please-"

Chu Wuxian stepped in.

There was a faint incense burning in the room, and the smell made people feel peaceful, and behind the green jade bead curtain, the prince raised his eyes, and raised his hand with a smile and pointed to the opposite position: "Here, sit." ”

Chu Wuxian arched his hand, "Wechen has seen His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"There are only you and me here, no matter the monarchs and ministers today, just drinking tea and chatting."

There is a tea set on the low table, and the prince cooks the tea himself, with elegant movements, flowing clouds and water, and the fragrance of tea spreads, looking like the years are quiet.

Xie Shuangge glanced at the prince a few times, he was also wearing a low-key dress today, wearing a moon-white brocade robe, covered with silver yarn, and two circles of silver-blue dark lines rolling on his wide sleeves, faintly flashing with his movements, like rolling waves.

From the moment Chu Wuxian entered the door, he had a smile on his face, and he seemed to be in a good mood, as if he was really ready to chat with Chu Wuxian over tea.

"Why don't we sit down and hear what he has to say?" Xie Shuangge was a little curious.

Hearing this, Chu Wuxian walked to the futon and slowly sat down with a swing of his robe, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

The prince pushed the small teacup in front of him, "Lord Chu's complexion is much better today, I saw you blue and black a few days ago, and I looked very tired." ”

Chu Wuxian helped down the teacup meaningfully, but he didn't have the idea of drinking, and lowered his eyes and said: "Weichen is tracking down the case of Yuelai Gambling House, it is a little tricky, there is not much time to rest, naturally haggard, His Royal Highness Xie cares." ”

He made it clear that he didn't want to say more, so he directly blocked the prince's road.

The prince smiled helplessly, "The character of no hatred is as upright as ever. ”

"Gengzhi?" Xie Shuangge smiled disdainfully, which of these two words has anything to do with Chu Wuxian? Is it straight?

Chu Wuxian rubbed the jade pendant a few times shorter, Xie Shuangge's head was short, and he silently raised his fist at him.

"Your Highness might as well say it if you have something to say." Chu Wuxian didn't go around in circles with him, and just broke the topic.

The prince was silent, and then the smile on his face narrowed, his eyebrows drooped slightly, and he looked a little distressed, "It's nothing, I just want to ask what Wuxian thinks about the current situation?" ”

Tut-tut, what about the monarchs and ministers who said yes? It's starting again, right?

Xie Shuangge really has no trust in the man's mouth at all.

Chu Wuxian withdrew his hand and let go of the jade pendant, "Weichen doesn't understand, and I ask His Highness to make it clear." ”

The prince was a little annoyed, and said helplessly: "Who did you learn your annoying skills from?" Can't you just lower your head a little? It's too rigid and easy to break, and there is no hatred, you read poetry and books a lot, you won't understand it, right? ”

Chu Wuxian finally raised his eyes, and those deep and dark eyes did not have any light, which made people's hearts palpitate.

"People live in the world, do something, do something, Weichen is such a character, if His Royal Highness is dissatisfied, he will not invite Weichen to come today."

The prince took a sip of the teacup, and his eyes were behind his eyelashes, making it difficult to distinguish.

Xie Shuangge became nervous inexplicably, it was the first time she had seen such an oppressive cousin of the prince.

Chu Wuxian is not in a hurry at all, if the other party doesn't speak, he can be dumb and see who can bear it more.

Facts have proved that whoever has a request for others will not be able to hold his breath first.

In the end, the prince was defeated, he put down his hand and regained his smile, "The people who can sit firmly in the position of commander are not simple characters, no hatred, you are really powerful, people like you should go further." ”

His eyes gradually sharpened, staring at Chu Wuxian burningly, leaning forward slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Now that the ministers have a lot of complaints about you, you haven't thought about your own retreat?" It is indeed a wise move to protect the emperor of pure ministers, but it is not foolproof, the new emperor ascends the throne, if he can't tolerate you, you will only have a dead end. ”

Chu Wu said with hatred Sure enough, the prince is still trying to win him over this time.

It's just - from the very beginning, he had no way out.
