Chapter 234: A Princess
After returning to the East Palace from the Council Palace, Li Yunxing felt relaxed.
This battle was not easy, there were many obstacles in the DPRK and China, and hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at themselves.
If it weren't for the direct establishment of authority and letting those people know that the throne belonged to him Li Yunxing, I am afraid that today's battle will be even more difficult.
However, this decision has also brought great benefits to himself, at least in the short term, for a long time.
"Congratulations to Your Highness, Your Highness, today's battle has been a complete victory, I believe that those old ministers in the court will soon be soft!" Eunuch Jin said with a smile.
Li Yunxing glanced at him lightly and did not answer.
Although Liu Zhongqing lost on the surface today, the real winner of this battle has not yet been decided.
However, seeing Liu Zhongqing's frustrated expression, Li Yunxing was also very comfortable in his heart.
Over the years, Liu Zhongqing has relied on his dominance in the court, almost without scruples, and is even more disrespectful to him, the prince, and even secretly stumbling and trying his best to weaken his power.
Now that I've finally pulled back a game, how can I make people feel unhappy.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still worried?" The eunuch on the side asked.
Li Yunxing shook his head and was silent for a moment before he said slowly, "It is certainly a pleasure for Liu Zaifu to lose a game in the court today, but we must not underestimate the other party because of this......"
Jin Xi was slightly stunned, and then nodded: "Your Highness is wise, that Liu Zhongqing today is indeed a little unexpected." I thought that he was ready to fight with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but he never thought that he would admit defeat in the end, which is really a bit weird! ”
This is exactly what Li Yunxing is worried about. According to common sense, with Liu Zhongqing's character and ambition, he would not compromise so easily.
It seems that this time Li Yunxing did seize the opponent's fatal handle - the Huns.
deliberately arranged Liu Chen's attack, but also to verify whether the Liu family and the Xiongnu had colluded, if not, then the Liu family would definitely fight to the death, in order to earn Liu Chen a future fame.
If the Liu family really colluded with the Xiongnu, then Liu Chen might not have a head-on conflict with the Xiongnu, and Li Yunxing would have an excuse to clean up the Liu family at that time.
Of course, the premise is that the Liu family really did not collude with the Xiongnu.
"Don't worry about this matter, just wait and see what happens." Li Yunxing commanded lightly.
Liu Zhongqing is by no means this kind of person who compromises easily, I am afraid that this time he will lose face, and he will only usher in more violent revenge.
"Where's the little swallow?" Li Yunxing frowned.
Xiang Yunyan was imprisoned by him in the courtyard of the East Palace, and he was also well-behaved in the past few days, except for delivering food every day, he didn't make any noise, which saved him a lot of trouble.
"Little Swallow, she ......" Jinxi hesitated for a moment before saying: "I heard that she was shouting to leave the palace yesterday, and the slave persuaded her for a long time to persuade her to come down, but there is no movement today." ”
"Pass her."
Jin Xi heard the words and left.
Not long after, Xiang Yunyan was brought to Li Yunxing.
At this time, Xiang Yunyan was wearing a pink dress, obviously just finished bathing, her hair was wet and draped over her shoulders, and her cheeks showed a faint crimson, which was extremely beautiful.
Xiang Yunyan raised his eyes, his gaze fell on Li Yunxing, and he suddenly snorted angrily, turning his head to leave.
"Stop." Li Yunxing stopped coldly, and there was a faint hint of displeasure in his tone.
Seeing this, Xiang Yunyan's footsteps froze, and then he turned his head and glared at Li Yunxing viciously.
Li Yunxing sat behind the table, looked at her lightly and said, "If you come, you will come, why do you want to escape when you see this palace?" ”
"How can it be an escape? I just think that you have put me under house arrest in the East Palace in disguise, don't you think that I am at your mercy like those concubines you raised? Xiang Yunyan sneered.
"She is worthy of being the princess of Chu State, and she is so confident even scolding people on other people's territory." Li Yunxing sneered, and an endless chill erupted in his eyes.
He had never seen such an arrogant woman, and it seemed that he was indeed spoiled by the King of Chu.
Otherwise, how could there be no gesture of asking for help at all.
Do you really think that he, Li Yunxing, is a good-tempered person, and let her send him?
Xiang Yunyan was stopped by the guards because he wanted to leave the East Palace yesterday, and he felt wronged in his heart.
What she regretted the most was that she actually found Li Yunxing to help her that day, she was only trapped in Chu State before, but now she was trapped in a small East Palace, and she couldn't even set foot in other places in the palace.
But looking at Li Yunxing's eyes, it seemed like he was going to kill someone.
Xiang Yunyan was stunned suddenly, and his mouth flattened and said aggrievedly: "What are you murderous? I'm just telling the truth, since you've put me under house arrest in the East Palace, why are you pretending to be kind enough to let me stay here. You're a tyrant! ”
The more Xiang Yunyan spoke, the more angry she felt, she was a noble princess, when had she ever been so wronged? If it weren't for his father, he would have left a long time ago.
Li Yunxing looked at Xiang Yunyan's aggrieved appearance, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
Then he threw out a letter and said coldly, "Take a good look." ”
Xiang Yunyan was a little unsure, but seeing that the style of the letter seemed to be a paper unique to the Chu State, he reached out and picked it up.
When he opened the letter, Xiang Yunyan's eyes, which were still full of tears, instantly widened, and he looked at Li Yunxing in disbelief.
"This ...... Is it all true? Xiang Yunyan looked at Li Yunxing tremblingly, and a storm broke in his heart.
"What do you say?"
This letter is a secret letter written by the king of Chu himself, the letter explains that now the predicament of the state of Chu has been solved, thanks to the help of the Wu Dynasty, they will also quickly organize their armaments, and will send troops from the state of Chu in the near future to exterminate the remnants of the Xiongnu together with the Wu Dynasty.
It was her father's handwriting, and she wouldn't admit it.
Xiang Yunyan's heart was shocked, but also mixed with a thick joy.
She didn't expect that Li Yunxing would solve the crisis of Chu so quickly, how did she do it.
Moreover, her father's secret letter also told her that the soldiers and horses of the Chu State were rapidly assembling now. If the news is true, within half a month, a large number of Chu troops will be able to reach the border, and when the time comes, she will be able to regain her freedom.
Just when Xiang Yunyan was full of joy, Li Yunxing had already walked to her side.
"What you expect this palace to do, this palace has already done."
"Isn't it time for the two of us to settle accounts now?"
"Reckoning?" Xiang Yunyan was stunned and blinked a little blankly.
"The work of this palace has never been in vain, you should know that I can help Chu State break the siege, and I can also make Chu State's life hang by a thread again."
"This ...... This...... This ......"
Xiang Yunyan had an expression of wanting to cry without tears, and secretly hated in his heart for how he had provoked this plague god, and now he had become a bitter fruit for himself.
