There was silence in the Ganlu Palace, and even the head of Monk Zhao Feng couldn't keep his composure, his face was full of shock and panic.

On the contrary, Ye Lao and Wang Xi were quite calm on their faces, but their eyes were also full of waves, and they were obviously very touched.

"What are you, refusing me?"

Emperor Yongyuan's tone was full of disbelief.

Li Xuan nodded silently, and then continued:

"I'm not interested in becoming a Protector Beast."

"I believe that Ankang is also not interested in the throne of Daxing."

Hearing the meaning of Li Xuan's words, Emperor Yongyuan's originally hanging heart suddenly relaxed, and then asked, "Then what do you want?" ”

Li Xuan raised one of his hind legs, scratched the back of his somewhat itchy ear, and said in an extremely casual manner:

"We just want to live in peace."

"It's better to be free to do what you want."

Hearing such an answer, Emperor Yongyuan asked in surprise: "If this is the case, shouldn't it be more appropriate to agree to the conditions I proposed?" ”

"Only by holding supreme power can you live the way you want to live."

"This is the only way for you to the 'freedom' you aspire to."

Li Xuan looked at Emperor Yongyuan strangely, and couldn't help but smile contemptuously.

Emperor Yongyuan saw such an expression on the face of a cat, and his mood could be imagined, and there were immediately green tendons on his forehead.

If he hadn't asked Li Xuan now, I'm afraid that with Emperor Yongyuan's original temper, he would have been unable to bear it a long time ago.

At this time, Mr. Shang stepped forward and scolded loudly:

"Ah Xuan, how can you be so rude to Your Majesty!"

"It seems that we are overly arrogant to you."

"You don't have any rules now!"

"Your Majesty, the old slave is not teaching effectively, and I ask Your Majesty to surrender."

With that, Mr. Shang fell to his knees.

Zhao Feng on the side also knelt down with him, bowed his head to the ground, and pleaded silently.

On weekdays, it was the two of them who contacted Li Xuan on behalf of Emperor Yongyuan.

Now, the atmosphere in this manna hall is scorching, and the two have to come forward to plead guilty, which is also to remind both parties that they are not enemies of each other.

The timely appearance of General Manager Shang and Zhao Feng made an obvious buffer between Li Xuan and Emperor Yongyuan.

To tell the truth, even before Li Xuan revealed his specialness, Manager Shang was also good to them Jingyang Palace.

The monthly case and fifty taels of silver that were sent back at the beginning, Li Xuan has always remembered them.

Li Xuan didn't mean to mock Emperor Yongyuan before, it was just a subconscious reaction.

Immediately, he also made his own explanation.

"I don't have much contact with you, though."

"But in my opinion, you are the least free person in the world."

"Even, I think a little eunuch in the palace is much freer than you."

Li Xuan looked at Emperor Yongyuan's eyes, but still said his thoughts truthfully.

Emperor Yongyuan was slightly stunned, looked at Li Xuan's serious gaze, and knew that he was not ridiculing or mocking himself, but just said his thoughts directly.

But this made Emperor Yongyuan even more uncomfortable.

Because what even a cat can see, many people can't understand.

Emperor Yongyuan suddenly felt a little excited, and he raised his hand and waved lightly in the direction of Chief Shang and Zhao Feng, telling them to get up and retreat to the side.

"Ah Xuan, you're right."

"But it is such a cage-like throne, but there are countless people who are eager to do everything for it."

Emperor Yongyuan sighed and touched Li Xuan's head casually.

Fluffy and nice to the touch.

"Ah Xuan, do you know?"

"There are actually only two kinds of emperors in this world."

"A kind of being locked up in a cage of desire."

"A kind of cage in a box."

"The former will be a tyrant, and the latter may be a virtuous one."

Emperor Yongyuan stroked the cat casually and talked about the past.

"When I was nineteen years old, I ascended to the throne in a daze."

"I thought that I was lucky enough to be the son of heaven, and as soon as I came up, I planned to make a big move and hand in a satisfactory answer to the ancestors."

"But as a result, I, like most other young emperors, am just someone else's puppet."

The first time Li Xuan heard about the beginning of Emperor Yongyuan's ascension to the throne, he was quite interested.

Several big eunuchs on the side silently showed worried.

That period of time was the past that Emperor Yongyuan was most reluctant to recall.

In fact, from the fact that there are only a few big eunuchs in this Ganlu Palace, it is not difficult for Li Xuan to guess that I am afraid that Emperor Yongyuan does not have too many trustworthy people in the court.

Otherwise, for something as important as today, there would have to be a few close ministers to witness it, rather than all the big eunuchs.

Moreover, even the few people in front of him are not all of the great eunuchs.

Li Xuan estimated that Emperor Yongyuan, the emperor, was not as majestic as he looked.

"In the past 20 years, I have paid a lot of price to get to where I am today."

"Ah Xuan, do you understand what I mean?"

"I've paid so much, and I'm not going to make them all meaningless."

Li Xuan could hear that Emperor Yongyuan's determination was beyond doubt.

Whether it was for his own desire for power, or for the sake of the Daxing Dynasty, which lasted for nearly a thousand years, Emperor Yongyuan had to give up everything and complete the plan he had been planning.

Li Xuan looked at Emperor Yongyuan, silently wagged his tail and asked:

"So, is Concubine Xiao also one of your prices?"

Emperor Yongyuan, who was originally stroking Li Xuan's hand, suddenly paused, and silently withdrew it.

When Manager Shang and Zhao Feng saw Li Xuan's question, they all frowned and secretly said badly.

But unlike what they expected, Emperor Yongyuan simply nodded and didn't say anything else.

But Li Xuan looked at the flash in his eyes, and the sadness that he couldn't hide also got his own answer.

"I'm not like you."

Li Xuan wrote categorically.

Emperor Yongyuan watched silently.

"Well-being is a price I can't pay."

"Even Yu'er is the same."

"I'm just a cat."

"So my world is small and small."

"You're going to help me protect my 'world.'"

"That's my condition."

When he saw the conditions proposed by Li Xuan, Emperor Yongyuan had a strange feeling that he expected, but he didn't want to accept.

The cat in front of him set off him, the emperor, so humble.

Humble as dust.

"When you can't help me, I'll protect my world in my own way!"

When everyone in the Manna Hall saw this sentence written by Li Xuan, they were all moved.

Especially Mr. Shang and Zhao Feng, remembering the evaluation of Li Xuan when they first met him, they had mixed feelings at this time.

The little black cat in front of them was so affectionate and sexual from beginning to end.

Who would have thought that in the coldest place in the world, the hottest emotions were bred.

"Is that all?"

"Don't want anything else?"

"The Protector Divine Beast, the position of the Empress, you can also talk about it, you can go to the side and discuss it with An Kang, how about it?"

Emperor Yongyuan asked unwillingly.

"Anything else, can I mention you and do it?"

"For example, please get rid of all the threats to the well-being of this palace."

"For example, Your Majesty's Empress."

A faint smile tugged at the corner of Li Xuan's mouth.

Once the seeds of mistrust are planted, they are difficult to eradicate.

Ever since Li Xuan realized that his cultivation of Yin and Yang True Qi was under the guidance of Emperor Yongyuan, he began to doubt all the information he had obtained from Emperor Yongyuan.

Even if he goes out of the palace to hide this time, he temporarily lives in Xingqing Palace.

Is Empress Wu really starting to feel threatened by Princess Ankang?

This is a fact that Li Xuan cannot confirm.

Even, is Empress Wu really hostile to them Jingyang Palace?

With the strength of Empress Wu, to solve the previous weak Jingyang Palace, maybe you don't even have to get your hands dirty, right?

Or did someone deliberately spread such rumors in the palace?

Trust this kind of thing, to want to build, time-consuming and laborious, but to destroy, all it takes is a small lie.

Emperor Yongyuan also noticed the change in Li Xuan's attitude, but there was no way to do it.

He was indeed selfish and guided Li Xuan's behavior.

Emperor Yongyuan thought that this was not a big deal, but he didn't expect Li Xuan's reaction to be so big.

"Is this the difference between cats and people?"

"As long as people have interests, they can be driven no matter what."

"This cat is obviously more willful."

Emperor Yongyuan thought that he was now coaxing a kitten to join him, and he laughed a little unrealistically when he thought about it.

But this is the reality, from the moment Li Xuan practiced the true qi of yin and yang, Emperor Yongyuan had no other choice.

"I really can't solve the queen's problem."

Emperor Yongyuan shrugged his shoulders and said bluntly.

"That's it." Li Xuan glanced at Emperor Yongyuan with disdain, and then continued: "You just need to do your best to protect our safety, and I will cooperate with you when the time comes." ”

"Also, if you lie to me again in the future, no matter what the facts are, as long as I feel deceived."

Li Xuan didn't continue to say more, just smiled.

"You just pray that you can find a second existence that has cultivated the true qi of yin and yang."

Emperor Yongyuan sighed, with Li Xuan's attitude now, he was afraid that when that time came, he would be able to do anything.

Emperor Yongyuan also gradually figured out Li Xuan's temper, and immediately followed him and said:

"As long as you are willing to cooperate, then we are people in the same boat, and naturally we don't need to play any more tricks."

"We were just trying to build a foundation for cooperation."

Emperor Yongyuan said, pressed his temple, and then hurriedly asked, "Do you have any other conditions or questions?" ”

"No, I'm happy to work together from today on."

Although Li Xuan was reluctant, he also knew that there was no choice.

Emperor Yongyuan is still talking to him well, not for the sake of yin and yang.

If you are more arrogant, I'm afraid it will be a little inappropriate.

Li Xuan accepted it when he saw it and asked the most important question.

"Who are your enemies?"

Emperor Yongyuan let go of the hand pressing his temples and quipped:

"It's hard to believe that you can endure it until now."

Emperor Yongyuan pondered for a while, and then said:

"I have many enemies, and they are all strong."

Li Xuan had expected it, but he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Can a serious emperor beg a cat for such a long time?

Moreover, Emperor Yongyuan also said before that he became a puppet emperor after he ascended the throne, and then paid a lot of costs to get to where he is today.

But even at such a cost, I'm afraid that some things are still difficult to change.

"Better than you, huh?"

Li Xuan asked angrily.

Emperor Yongyuan touched his nose and calmly spit out four words:

"Evenly matched."

Li Xuan understands the language and art of the emperor and knows that in these four words, Emperor Yongyuan has mixed a lot of water with himself.

Li Xuan thought about it seriously, and then asked:

"Empress Wu and you don't have the same heart, right?"

"It can be or it may not be."

Emperor Yongyuan replied habitually.

But then he realized that he was a kitten with little common sense, so he changed to more straightforward language.

"Ah Xuan, above this court, there is only one relationship, and that is to use each other."

"When interests coincide, that's friends."

"When there is a conflict of interest, that is the enemy."

"According to your words, the queen and I are indeed not of the same mind at this time."

"But there is also the possibility of cooperation in giving in to each other."

Emperor Yongyuan gave Li Xuan a political lesson.

"Ah Xuan, you just need to know."

"I have what the queen needs, and the queen has what I need."

"How to get what you need from each other is the art of politics."

In other words, in the eyes of Emperor Yongyuan, Empress Wu was a possible ally and a potential enemy.

"Why does the queen feel threatened by her well-being?"

Li Xuan continued to ask.

Emperor Yongyuan smiled and said, "The empress will not regard Ankang as a threat, and in her eyes, all the other princes and princesses will not be able to pose a threat to the second child. ”

"And I have to admit that this is indeed the truth."

When Li Xuan heard this, he was stunned at first, but then he reacted to what they were hiding from in Xingqing Palace these days.

But at this moment, Emperor Yongyuan continued:

"Although the queen doesn't care, there are other people in the harem who care and hope that Ankang will become a threat to the queen."

Li Xuan understood what Emperor Yongyuan meant, but at the same time he was puzzled.

Since this second prince is so good, so that Empress Wu can be so confident, is everyone else a fool?

Is this still a ball?

is as attentive as the three brothers and sisters of the eldest prince, aren't they all monkeys?

Although Princess Ankang has won several matches in the Imperial Garden, if Emperor Yongyuan and Empress Wu both think that others cannot pose a threat to the second prince, what do others think?

"Could it be that it is not pleasing to the eye, right?"

How many of these nobles in the palace are fools.

Li Xuan felt that there must be some details that he didn't know yet.

He immediately asked Emperor Yongyuan about his doubts.

"Since the second prince is so victorious, what are the others fighting for? What's the point of the tournament in the Royal Garden? ”

"Why do they need to be so targeted at Ankang?"

Emperor Yongyuan looked at Li Xuan's question, and was full of astonishment.

The faces of the other great eunuchs were also full of strangeness.

Li Xuan immediately looked left and right and found that everyone's faces were wrong.

"What's going on?"

"Am I saying something wrong?"

Emperor Yongyuan suddenly sneered, and then asked a little incomprehensibly:

"Who told you that the second child is the prince?"
