Li Xiuyuan, who served as the prime minister in the first year of the Great Chu Tianqi, has been sitting firmly in the position of prime minister for nearly 20 years, which shows his means and strength.

Half a year ago, the young man in front of him took a piece of white jade and talked about a marriage that was a long time ago, so far away that Li Xiuyuan had forgotten this past.

Li Xiuyuan's forgetfulness is because of time, and because those people back then have already passed away, including his son and daughter-in-law who promised his family.

Only Li Xiuyuan and Yu Zhi were left in the lobby, and it was the same scene half a year ago.

The difference is that the token Phoenix Blood White Jade brought by Yu Zhi is now in Li Xiuyuan's hands.

As soon as he walked into the lobby, a wave of pressure from the upper echelons was surging towards Yu Zhi, like a mountain towering and difficult to climb. This is the momentum that Li Xiuyuan has cultivated for decades, and anyone in a high position must hide such a momentum, as if he has a magnificent spirit at a glance.

Fortunately, Yu Zhi is used to this.

Li Haomiao, Cang Bieli, and even Cangshui, the oppression given to Yu Zhi is far stronger than Li Xiuyuan.

"I didn't expect that the person Tong'er liked turned out to be you, by mistake, it was really a mistake." Li Xiuyuan's face was expressionless, and he couldn't see any thoughts on his face.

Yu Zhi glanced at Li Xiuyuan with an indifferent expression. From the first time he saw Li Xiuyuan, he knew what kind of person the old man in front of him was.

Li Xiuyuan continued: "Tong'er has suffered from a leg disease since she was a child, which is also something that I worry about every day. Fortunately, she met you and cured her leg disease. I must thank you for that. ”

"After returning to Kyoto, Kiri told me about the two of you. She is attached to you and is willing to marry you. Although you are only a small secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate now, I will help you, and it will not be difficult to take over the position of the Imperial History of the Jiangqing Metropolitan Procuratorate when the time comes. ”

Gestures?

Or camouflage?

Yu Zhi is still indifferent to this, what he is pursuing is not an official position. In other words, if he really wants to enter the office, the background of the Qiu family is enough to pave the way for him.

Even if the relationship between the Great Chu court is complicated, almost all of the ministers are looking forward to Li Xiuyuan.

In Zhao Jie's case, Li Xiuyuan secretly instructed Qian Fangyuan to let Yu Zhi be buried in prison. But things turned out beyond everyone's expectations.

Xiao Jingyao, the crown prince who was far away in the north, and Xu Qing, the commander of the northern army, wrote in person, and the letter was the truth, but it was undoubtedly a sentence to the Great Chu Dynasty - Yu Zhi was the prince's person!

Yu Zhi said: "Xiangye, you promised me a bright future. But why are you doing that? ”

Yu Zhi's implication is, I don't believe you are so kind.

Li Xiuyuan took a sip of tea and said, "The case of Youquan Villa, the prince will help you." The Great Chu court has already regarded you as the crown prince's person. In the future, the three princes will regard you as a thorn in their side. In the future, if the third prince deals with you, it will definitely affect Tong'er, so there are some things that you don't want to do, but have to do them. You need to have enough strength to protect Kiri. ”

Now, Li Xiuyuan is completely the image of a kind old man, thinking about Li Wantong's safety. But a few months ago, the black-clothed killer he sent was precisely to kill Li Wantong.

If he didn't know that the person behind the black-clothed killer was Li Xiuyuan, Yu Zhi might still believe him.

But how could Yu Zhi believe him now?

Yu Zhi sneered: "Xiangye is really worried about Tong'er's safety? ”

Li Xiuyuan frowned, and said with a displeased expression: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Facing Yu Zhi's gaze, Li Xiuyuan had a bad premonition. Did this kid know something? But Tong'er clearly doesn't know anything. Is he lying to me?

Being a thief has a weak heart, which is why there are many doubts.

Yu Zhi shook his head and said with a smile: "And it should be that Xiangye really cares about Tong'er." Today, I'm here to retrieve what Xiang Ye took from me. ”

Li Xiuyuan knew what it was, but he pretended to be confused and said, "How did the prime minister take anything from you?" ”

Phoenix blood white jade, Li Xiuyuan didn't know the name of that piece of white jade, but he saw a lot of rare treasures, and he could see the value of that piece of white jade at a glance.

The posture of the phoenix soaring to the sky outlined by blood in the warm white jade is naturally modified and magical, which is really rare.

Shameless....... Yu Zhi also expected today's result, and said: "Today, I will take it." If Xiangye doesn't give it, the person who will come in the future will not be me. ”

Who is behind Yu Zhi?

It is impossible for Li Xiuyuan not to know. He still remembered that night half a year ago, two people in the prime minister's house sneaked into his bedroom one after another, and the latter's words were a reminder and a warning.

Time can erase all things, and people's hearts can also leave traces of time.

Li Xiuyuan's eyes were sharp, the air was about to freeze, and he said in a deep voice. "Are you threatening your true nature?"

The prime minister of Da Chu, one person is above 10,000 people, and the power in his hands can make half of Da Chu tremble, and he has seen countless ups and downs, how can he accept the threat of a teenager?

Yu Zhi took out a booklet and placed it on the table beside him. "What about threatening you? Li Xiuyuan, God knows what you do... And I know! ”

The booklet was found from the black-clothed killer that night in Beiliang City.

Yu Zhi has always stayed on his body for the sake of today.

Threats require the cost of threats. The words are very pale, like a shrew scolding the street, and it can't hurt anyone.

"What is this?"

"In Beiliang Mansion, there are a few black-clothed killers who want to kill Tong'er, I killed them all, and I got this booklet from them, I think Xiangye will like it."

Li Xiuyuan flipped through it, suddenly snorted coldly, and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Yu Zhi asked rhetorically, "Doesn't Xiangye know?" ”

There was a depressing atmosphere in the silence, and Li Xiuyuan felt more and more that the young man in front of him was not easy to deal with.

In just half a year, Yu Zhi is no longer the shame of asking for advice, and he even has the confidence to threaten Li Xiuyuan.

"You think you can frame the prime minister of the dynasty based on this?"

"Naturally, no. But if the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple are checked, they may be able to find out something. ”

"What a sinister boy."

"Xiangye's treacherous name is also worthy of the name."

......

Yu knew that this trip was nothing else, just to express a meaning to Li Xiuyuan - I know all the things you did. In the future, it will be unfavorable to Li Wantong, but we have to weigh it.

As soon as he walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion chased after him from behind.

"Young Master Yu, this is what Xiangye asked me to hand over to you."

Yu Zhi took the sandalwood box, opened it and looked at it, and smiled slightly.

What was contained in it was Yu Zhi's piece of phoenix blood white jade.

"Tell your grandfather, the next time I come to visit, nothing has happened today."

The housekeeper arched his hand and said, "I will convey it to Xiangye." ”

Soon, the housekeeper returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and told Li Xiuyuan what Yu Zhi said.

Li Xiuyuan was thoughtful, and snorted coldly: "This son is thoughtful. He must have known the truth. But what matters now is the palace maid next to the prince. It is the right thing to let Chen'er marry into the East Palace. The prince took the initiative to invite Ying to go to the north, and he also placed his affection on the palace maid. The last assassination failed, and it was up to the queen's side. ”

It is not a secret that Li Chuchen loves the prince in the palace. And the marriage between the two is not a rumor. After all, the queen has always liked Li Chuchen very much, and she is also facilitating this marriage.

If the crown prince hadn't gone to the north, the prince and Li Chuchen would have already been ordered to get married at this time.

"Later, I'll fix a book, and you send it to the queen's palace." Li Xiuyuan said.

The housekeeper answered, and saw Li Chuchen walking in.

Li Chuchen said, "Grandpa, let me send this letter to the queen." ”

"Chen'er." Li Xiuyuan loves this granddaughter very much, because she will bring honor to the entire Li family in the future.

The palace maid in the palace, Li Chuchen also knew this person. But Li Chuchen is only Li Chuchen, and he can't control the prince's actions. And historically, those palace maids in the East Palace have also been carefully selected, and then prepared to serve the prince.

Now, seeing that the prince and the palace maid are getting more and more in love, Li Chuchen is anxious.

Not only Li Chuchen, but also the queen and Li Xiuyuan were also anxious.

The third prince, Xiao Jingyu, returned, with the support of the king of Chu, and made extensive friends with the ministers, staring at the position of the prince.

Xiao Jingyao urgently needs Li Xiuyuan's help, and with Li Xiuyuan, Da Chu Wenchen will stand behind Xiao Jingyao.

The marriage with Li Chuchen is a condition for Li Xiuyuan's support.

It's a political marriage. Of course, Li Chuchen is in love with Xiao Jingyao, but it is only Li Chuchen's unilateral love.

Li Chuchen said firmly: "Grandpa, this is my marriage, and I am the one who became the crown princess." ”

Li Xiuyuan's eyes were complicated, and he said: "Chen'er, just let grandpa do these unclean things, grandpa will guarantee that you will become the crown princess." ”

Li Chuchen shook his head. "Grandpa, you once said that there is no right or wrong in this world, only success and defeat. As long as I become the crown princess and become the queen of the future, who will know these things today? ”

Li Chuchen's eyes were extremely determined, she knew what she should do now.

......

......

Leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yu Zhi held a sandalwood box in his hand and went to Baiweiju.

Go back and bring Li Wantong some pastries from Baiweiju and some preserved fruits for Yu Lan. As for Ruoruo, he is not so picky.

Retrieving the phoenix blood white jade from Li Xiuyuan made Yu Zhi feel very good.

Finally avenged the revenge of that day...... Yu Zhi thought to himself. He is very resentful, not to mention that the other party did something wrong, and the fault still falls on himself.

Yu Zhi couldn't bear it, and he didn't want to forget it.

While Yu Zhi was waiting for the pastries to be packed, Yu Zhi met the person who made him feel familiar and friendly - Jiang Xiyue.

Jiang Xiyue never expected to see Yu Zhi in Baiweiju.

"Ma'am." Yu Zhi got up and said hello.

Jiang Xiyue flashed a hint of joy, and she walked towards Yu Zhi.

The first floor is the lobby, and there are many diners coming and going, such as Jiang Xiyue and others are in a separate wing room on the third floor of Baiweiju.

Seeing such a graceful and beautiful woman as Jiang Xiyue sitting in the lobby, it naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Jiang Xiyue walked up to Yu Zhi and said, "Yesterday, I didn't have time to ask your name, so you left." I didn't expect to see it here again today. ”

Yu Zhi smiled slightly, he didn't dislike Jiang Xiyue, and he didn't feel that the woman in front of him was as insidious and vicious as Qiu Ruoruo said.

"I know in Xiayu."
