Chapter 273 The Eighth Prince's Panic

Thinking of this, the sneer on the Eighth Prince's face disappeared. He just lowered his head and looked at the wine glass in his hand, his expression becoming solemn.

What do you think of what I said to Shulü An?

I'm talking bullshit. This is the first time I met Shulü'an. Why do you doubt me?

etc.

The head that Shulü An presented was Yelu Gu's, but the affairs in Yan were created by Laozi and Yelu Gu.

besides

Su Changan's previous statement was that he fled from Yandi to the capital, although this was false! But before I spread this news, although many people said it was false, but.

It doesn't stop that bastard Shulü An from framing me!

Yes!

It all connects!!

Yelu Gu, the previous war, and Su Changan's so-called escape story

All of them are pointing to Yan area!

Whose territory is Yan? It’s mine!

Then Shulü Ping and Shulü An exposed me! ?

Didn't we already agree on a marriage?! Why are you exposing me?

etc.

Marriage

Maybe Zhixu was deceived from the beginning, and there was no marriage at all.

Those barbarians were aiming for my head and the land of Yanyun! !

It was originally aimed at me! ?

What a good plan!

Everything makes sense!

After all, I killed tens of thousands of cavalrymen from the Shulü family who were at odds with Yelu Gu. How could they possibly marry me? If they did, how could I explain to those tribes in Mobei?

That’s why they kept Yelu Gu’s head frozen and waited until today to send it up. Are they planning to expose what Yelu Gu and I did and let me die at the hands of the little emperor? ! !

If you think so.

Know

Zhixu, that brat is in danger!!

He is meeting with people from Mobei now!

When thinking about this.

Bang!!

The Eighth Prince was originally a fourth-rank warrior. When he thought of this, he realized that although he hated his son, his beloved son was in danger. He suddenly exerted force on his hand.

The wine glass was crushed to pieces in an instant.

The sound was clear and crisp, allowing everyone around to hear it clearly.

Take it for granted

Everyone immediately looked at the Eighth Prince.

The Eighth Prince also realized that there was something wrong with his state of mind, and immediately stood up and looked at Xia Fengxiang: "I am rude, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

When saying this, the Eighth Prince was very anxious!

Because he thought his son might die.

I also thought that if I did nothing, I might die!

Thinking of this, the Eighth Prince, who was bowing with his hands clasped together, looked up at Xia Fengxiang.

Then he saw Xia Fengxiang looking at him with a doubtful expression.

Seeing this look, the Eighth Prince was stunned again.

Are you doubting me?

That's right

This look is doubting me.

Gudong~~

The Eighth Prince swallowed his saliva and immediately said, "Your Majesty..."

But suddenly!

The Eighth Prince remembered the look Xia Fengxiang gave him when he entered the palace in the morning.

It reminded me of when the fourth brother killed his brothers, he also killed them suddenly like this.

Then

Then he thought of the scene where Xia Fengxiang killed the King of the South Courtyard without blinking an eyebrow, especially the fact that Yan Ruyu even used the sword to kill people, which clearly showed that she had been prepared to kill people for a long time.

Thinking like this

The Eighth Prince suddenly felt that everything around him had stopped.

because

He thought of another thing.

That is, the little emperor already knew what he had done in Yan.

And he had been thinking about this matter since Shulü An offered his head.

And now the Queen Mother of Mobei wants to kill him, and the young emperor wants to kill him.

And how could such a large head be sent into the palace without being discovered? The palace was so strictly checked, how could it be sent in?

Can it be sent in without the little emperor’s permission?

And the person from the Mobei Embassy, ​​she just said that she has sent people to arrest him.

So this girl actually knew what Shulü An was going to send, but she still let them bring it in.

If you look at it this way, isn't it

The young emperor knew that the Queen Mother Mobei wanted to use her to kill him, but was she willing to go along with it?

Use this wedding to set up a trap!

A situation that is meant to take action against him!!

If you think about it this way, this is just the beginning, just the beginning, there will be follow-up, right?

But why.

Why can you plan so deeply?

Thinking of this, the Eighth Prince felt a headache. He had been suffering from splitting headaches for the past two months, and he could feel that his body had become much weaker.

When I thought about these things, I felt very suffocated.

Because he suddenly thought that there were people like this around him, who would plot against others at any time and watch the people they were plotting fall into the trap step by step.

And myself.

I was in a trap planned by others before, why am I still here now?

When he thought of this, the Eighth Prince looked at Xia Fengxiang who had a puzzled look on his face.

But for some reason, he felt that the person sitting there was his fourth brother.

But when he looked around, he realized that it was not his fourth brother, but his niece who had been acting so timid in the past few years.

But look carefully

He saw

It seemed as if there was a real dragon beside his niece, with its teeth bared and gas coming out of its mouth, and its pair of golden vertical pupils staring straight at him.

Moreover, there was a dragon claw pinching him, and if he used a little force, he would be crushed to death immediately.

It was just like when the fourth brother was still alive, although he was leading troops in Yan, whenever he thought of the fourth brother, he would be awakened by nightmares, especially in the dreams, when he was held in the hand of such a dragon.

Especially when his health was getting worse day by day, he would dream every night that he was entangled by something, and the entanglement was getting tighter and tighter. Many nights he woke up in shock because the feeling was suffocating!

When I think of this.

There were beads of sweat on the Eighth Prince's forehead, and there was even more fear in his eyes.

calm!

Xia Chenfeng, you are no longer the person who was scared to death by Lao Si 20 years ago! !

You are the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops!

calm!!

Everyone looked at the Eighth Prince who stood up, sweat beads all over his head and a tense look on his face. They were all surprised and wondered what happened to the Eighth Prince.

Why is it suddenly like this?

He even broke a cup!

Moreover, the Eighth Prince doesn't look very good.

All of them are unbelievable. I don't know what's going on with this prince.

The palace servant who was waiting on the side stepped forward and helped clean up the broken teacup while wiping away the wine, but he still secretly glanced at the Eighth Prince strangely.

Xia Fengxiang looked at the Eighth Prince in confusion. In fact, she didn't know what happened to her Eighth Uncle, so she said, "Eighth Uncle, please sit down and have a rest. The cup is not stable. It has nothing to do with you."

Hearing this, the Eighth Prince looked at Xia Fengxiang and swallowed his saliva. He felt that he had to do something, but he didn't dare to speak, because he was afraid that he would miss something and give Xia Fengxiang an opportunity to exploit it!

So after thinking for a while, he clasped his fists and sat down again.

Then he swallowed, lowered his head and said nothing, but his mind was still thinking about how to break the deadlock.

Su Changan looked at the sweaty Eighth Prince and said, "Uncle, what's wrong?"

Xia Fengxiang was also puzzled and shook his head: "I don't know, why is he so suspicious all of a sudden? Is it because I glanced at him?"

Su Changan thought for a moment, "I wonder who poisoned this person. What is the cause of the poisoning?"

Xia Fengxiang heard it and nodded: "Probably."

After saying that, he looked at his eighth uncle suspiciously, wondering if he had frightened him silly with just one look at him, so he started to have wild thoughts. After all, what he did this time was enough to make people see through a lot of things.

But it's not for this uncle to see.

Can't be so stupid, this

Thinking of this, Xia Fengxiang smiled and shook his head, too lazy to think about it anymore.

She just looked at Su Changan who was still eating secretly, and looked at her man with a useless face, which made her worried to death!

As for the Eighth Prince

He could clearly feel that the young couple were looking at him and talking and laughing, and their gaze was so scary that it made him feel even more frightened.

He wanted to escape, and he had to escape now, leaving the capital and returning to Yan, because if he was quick, he would still make it in time!

But I can't leave. If I run away now, it would be like trying to hide my secrets, and that might lead to another incident.

Thinking of this, the Eighth Prince picked up the wine glass, unaware that his hand holding the glass was already shaking.

but

The eleventh prince, Prince An, who was watching this scene, pouted his lips. What a coward! His niece didn't do anything, but she was so scared. And what did she think of that scared her so much? What happened? What bad things did she do?

But as he thought about it, Prince An shook his head and said, "What the hell is it? It's none of my business. I just need to help my niece guard my place."

Thinking of this, Prince An looked at his son Xia Yaomo.

As a result, Xia Yaomo was seen being pulled by Xia Tingyu pitifully, and he sighed helplessly. What a coward, how could he give birth to such a kid.

But think about it, it’s not bad, it’s better than playing with your brain with others and ending up like Lao Ba.

Thinking

Prince An stood up and picked up the wine glass, motioned to his wife, Princess An, and then walked to Xia Tingyu: "Girl Tingyu, shall I take my son to pay respects to His Majesty and the Queen? Let her accompany you when we come back."

When Xia Yaomo heard this, he stood up quickly, picked up the wine glass, and was ready to leave.

Xia Tingyu didn't care about Xia Yaomo. She glanced at Su Changan, who was being toasted by Mu Xu and the others, and nodded immediately: "I'll go too."

Prince An nodded. Although he was unhappy, there was nothing he could do about it.

Chen Xin sat in a corner, no one disturbed him, he looked at the Eighth Prince, sighed, and shook his head: "He's possessed by a demon in his heart, if I had known this, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. Namo Amitabha, bah, it should be Wuliang Tianzun. There have been too many things going on lately, I've asked for the Buddha's blessing too many times, I need to change, I need to change."

After saying this, Chen Xin took a sip of wine, moved his fingers slightly, and suddenly his expression was stunned. How could a disaster have befallen him?

Thinking of this, Chen Xin picked up the wine glass and hesitated for a moment. Hmm! Go sit next to my sister. With her around, I can stop any disaster.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin was about to get up, but when he turned around, he saw a woman standing in front of him.

The woman was graceful and elegant, and Chen Xin felt that she looked familiar.

"I am Cui Yuer from the Cui family. I am honored to meet His Majesty the King of Yue." Cui Yuer bowed immediately.

Chen Xin nodded. Cui Yuer, no wonder you are so eye-catching. Hmm? Cui Yuer! ?

Chen Xin narrowed his eyes and looked at Cui Yuer in front of him. That girl who was always so mean had grown up to be so beautiful? Wuliang, that Heavenly Lord.

Cui Yuer got straight to the point and said, "Your Highness the King of Yue cheated me of three hundred taels of silver when I was four years old. I don't know if you can return it. I still have the IOU. If you don't give it to me, I will present it to His Majesty in person! Please let her decide."

Chen Xin suddenly realized, isn’t this the disaster coming?

Chen Xin immediately shook his head: "As expected, I am a very smart person."

As he said this, Chen Xin looked at Cui Yuer and said, "Miss, you got the wrong person. The one who deceived you was Xia Zhici. I am Chen Xin, and it has nothing to do with me."

Cui Yuer blinked, smiled and nodded: "Well, I know that His Royal Highness the King of Yue has no friends, and he is also going to cheat and deny it. Besides, it seems that His Royal Highness the King of Yue has no money."

Hear these three sentences

Chen Xin pursed his lips, covered his chest inexplicably, and silently gave Cui Yuer a thumbs up: "As expected of you, you are getting better and better."

Cui Yuer smiled and said, "I'll go find His Majesty."

After saying that, Cui Yuer turned around and walked towards where Xia Fengxiang was.

Chen Xin was quick to stop her and said, "Miss Cui, let's talk about it. Come on, come on, have a good chat with your uncle. Your uncle also took 100 taels of silver back then."

As he said that, he grabbed Cui Yuer's hand and walked towards Cui Yu.

Cui Yuer smiled and nodded: "Anyway, there is still interest, you just need to pay it back to me. I am now an editor in the Hanlin Academy and can see the emperor at any time, or I can go to the queen."

Chen Xin heard this and said immediately, "This kid! Why do you always complain? Come on, I will definitely solve it for you today."

Having said this, Chen Xin curled his lips. That's why he didn't come to the capital. This is all a disaster!

but

Chen Xin turned around and looked over.

But when he saw his sister and the Queen, all the people from the Imperial College came forward, obviously to congratulate them.

I became even clearer in my mind that I couldn't let Cui Yuer pass!

So he pulled Cui Yuer and walked towards Cui Yu.

Just in front of Su Changan's table, Mu Xu and other people in the Imperial College held wine glasses in their hands and looked at Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang.

Yuan Ruxi was also there. After all, no matter how much he disliked such lively occasions, he had to attend today.

Su Changan looked at the people who came to congratulate him, drank the wine in his glass, looked at everyone and said, "Thank you very much."

Mu Xu and the others naturally drank it all in one gulp and bowed.

Mu Xu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are the one that many students in our Imperial College admire. They are all eagerly waiting for you to come and give a lecture. And today we have also brought many students' blessings."

Having said that, Mu Xu bowed to Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang again, extremely solemnly.

And everyone around him, including Yao Yuanzai, Mr. Shuiyun, and others, bowed one after another.

Su Changan naturally returned the greeting.

After the ceremony, Mu Xu looked at Su Changan and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Su Changan looked at Mu Xu and thought for a while, then said with a smile: "Master Jijiu, today is my big day, you are not going to ask me for poems, are you?"

When people around, such as Yao Yuanzai, heard this, they immediately laughed.

Even Xia Fengxiang looked at Mu Xu.

Mu Xu was a little embarrassed: "What do you think of me, Your Majesty? I am the kind of person who would do anything just to ask for poetry."

When it comes to this.

Su Changan nodded and said, "So you don't want it anymore? I just thought of something."

Hearing this, Mu Xu blinked his eyes immediately, then bowed and said righteously: "Old minister, I beg Your Majesty to give me some advice."

Seeing Mu Xu's shameless attitude, the people around him felt helpless.

Seeing Mu Xu's shameless look, Su Changan smiled and said, "Don't you see that the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky and flows to the sea and never returns. Don't you see that the white hair in the mirror in the hall is sad, which was black in the morning and turned white in the evening."

The two majestic opening lines shocked everyone who heard them, as if the wind and rain from the sky were rushing towards everyone present.

Everyone present at the Imperial College could feel that this poem, with these two lines as the beginning, was grand and sweeping, and must be extraordinary!

Immediately, everyone looked at Su Changan, waiting for the next poem.

Especially Mu Xu, his face was full of expectations.

but

Su Changan looked at Prince An and his family of three, as well as Xia Tingyu, who were walking over.

Prince An's family didn't care, but when Su Changan saw Xia Tingyu, he curled his lips.

When everyone saw this, they turned their heads.

When he saw it was Prince An and his men, he immediately saluted.

only

Su Changan's pause made Mu Xu a little anxious. He immediately looked at Su Changan and asked, "What's next, Madam?"

Su Changan looked at Mu Xu: "That's all. I only said a few words."

Hearing

Mu Xu hesitated to speak, and finally pursed his lips and looked around, which made the old man anxious. Finally, he said directly: "My queen, you can't just say two words. You can't do things like this on such a happy day. You..."

At this point, Mu Xu thought about his identity issue and couldn't say much, especially since there was a Majesty who didn't talk much but was staring at him the whole time.

Immediately

Mu Xu looked at Prince An and said, "My Lord Prince An, why did you come here at this time? You have ruined everything."

Prince An was chubby. When he heard Mu Xu's words, he was a little surprised. He looked at Yao Yuanzai, Xun Kuang and others on the side in confusion.

Princess An, Xia Yaomo, and Xia Tingyu all looked curious.

Immediately, Xun Kuang recited the two lines of poetry he had just finished.

Compared to Prince An, Princess An was a legitimate imperial examinee. If she had not resigned because of Prince An, she would now be at least a fifth-rank official.

Therefore, when these two lines of "Have you not seen" were recited, Princess An couldn't help but say: "What a good poem!"

Then he looked at Su Changan with surprise: "Your Majesty is really good at writing. Such magnificent words are beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

Mu Xu immediately said, "That's why! The Empress was just about to recite her poem when you came."

After saying that, Mu Xu looked at Su Changan and said, "Your Majesty is so talented in writing, what is the next poem?"

Su Changan looked at Mu Xu: "I forgot."

Mu Xu was stunned for a moment.

Su Changan looked at Prince An and Princess An: "Eleventh Uncle, Aunt."

Xia Fengxiang also looked at Prince An and Princess An.

The Eleventh Prince and his wife were terrified, and immediately bowed respectfully, then said, "We are here to offer a glass of wine to your Majesty and the Queen."

Xia Fengxiang and Su Changan raised their glasses, and Xia Fengxiang smiled and said, "There's no need to be so polite among family members. Besides, there are so many talented ladies at the wedding banquet today, why don't you take a look? If you see one you like, come up and have a chat."

When Xia Yaomo heard Xia Fengxiang talking about himself, he curled his lips and looked depressed. What? Why do you talk about my finding a wife every time you see me? Can you please say something nice?

When Prince An and Princess An heard this, they all smiled bitterly and shook their heads. Their son was now well-known in the capital for wanting a wife, but no one said anything. Why?

It’s because this brat’s visit to Red Street has also been known to people!

Which girl would be attracted by a man who hangs out in a red-light district? Even if he is a prince, it wouldn't be possible.

Prince An sighed: "Take your time, hey."

Originally, the couple wanted to ask Su Changan for help, but now that their son had gone to the red-light district and got into trouble, why should they ask him? How could they ask him? It was too shameful!

Su Changan looked at Prince An and Princess An like this, drank the wine in the glass, and said with a smile: "Yao Mo is a good child, he will eventually meet the right one."

Xia Yaomo nodded: "I think so too."

But when these words were spoken, Prince An could only smile helplessly, but Princess An almost slapped him.

Seeing the look in his mother's eyes, Xia Yaomo subconsciously hid aside.

"I'll take care of it!" Mu Xu was so anxious that he interrupted immediately after hearing that it was not going to end. After that, Mu Xu looked at the Queen and said, "I will definitely help His Royal Highness find a good wife. Please rest assured, Queen. But what about the poem that follows?"

When he spoke, Mu Xu had a pleading look on his face, like a starving person craving for food, although he understood.

but.

Su Changan did it on purpose.

But at this time.

Xia Tingyu bowed and saluted: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, and congratulations, Your Majesty the Queen."

Seeing Xia Tingyu, Xia Fengxiang smiled slightly without saying a word.

Su Changan looked at Xia Tingyu's smiling face and smiled as well.

Xia Tingyu looked at Su Changan and said, "Thank you for rescuing me that day. I didn't have time to thank you because other things happened. So today I came to congratulate your majesty on your marriage and to thank you for saving my life."

Su Changan glanced at Xia Fengxiang, thought for a moment, and decided that it would be okay to say a few words, so he looked at Xia Tingyu and said, "It's just a small favor, Princess, don't worry about it."

Xia Tingyu looked aggrieved, "If it wasn't for the queen, I would have been hit by that Kunlun slave that day. I might have been badly injured. I was scared to death when I went back home at night."

But after saying that, Xia Tingyu's foxy eyes immediately smiled again and said, "But thanks to the queen for rescuing me, I will always remember such a kindness. I just listened to the queen's poems, and I have a drinking game, but no one has been able to match the second line, so I put it at the Qingya Restaurant. Can the queen try it?"

Then he recited directly: "Idle as if busy, butterflies fly over the pink wall in pairs; busy as if idle, egrets stand on the small beach when hungry."

Su Changan was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "Waking up is like dreaming, the soul is free and the past is forgotten. Dreaming is like waking up, the deep love is gone with the wind."

Hear this.

Xia Tingyu read it carefully and immediately smiled at Su Changan. Her fox eyes also smiled, which was quite pretty. She immediately said, "Thank you, Queen. You are really good at writing. I will regard this drinking game as a gift from you. I will definitely frame it when I get back."

After saying this, Xia Tingyu immediately bowed to Su Changan, and then bowed to Xia Fengxiang with a smile, and said, "In that case, I will go back first and will not disturb you all anymore."

As he spoke, Foxy looked at Xia Fengxiang deeply.

Afterwards, Xia Tingyu bowed to Prince An, Mu Xu and the others, turned around and left, humming a little tune happily.

Su Changan looked at Xia Tingyu's back and was confused for a moment. What's that? It's just the second half of a couplet. What's the big deal?

But thinking this way, Su Changan felt that it was okay. He just said a few words, and his wife wouldn't be so

When he thought of this, Su Changan's expression suddenly froze and he turned to look at Xia Fengxiang.

Xia Fengxiang was looking at him with a smile: "The Queen is really talented in writing. I heard that this drinking game has been hanging in Qingya Restaurant for a long time. Even Yan Shu, the top scholar of this year's exam, couldn't come up with a better second line. The Queen came up with it off the cuff and even gave it to Princess Changyang."

Su Changan pursed his lips when he heard this, not knowing what to say, because.

He felt that his wife only wanted to say one sentence.

You're done, Su Changan! You're dead!

Maybe it was an illusion, but Su Changan felt that his wife was saying this simple sentence.

Xia Tingyu didn't say much and no one thought it was a big deal. After all, everyone in Beijing knew about what happened at Qingya Restaurant, so it wasn't a big deal.

However, this drinking game sounded quite ingenious to everyone, and they looked at Su Changan in shock.

After all, this casual remark turned out to be such a wonderful second line.

That’s amazing!

After carefully recalling the story, Mu Xu praised it immediately: "It's wonderful! When I wake up, I am deeply immersed in the past dream, and my soul seems to be wandering. But in the dream, I have a deep affection, which is gone with the wind. Your Majesty's literary talent is indeed amazing, and we are far behind. But Majesty, don't you see what the sequel is?"

Su Changan looked at Mu Xu. What time is it? You haven't seen me yet!

I was confused, I was about to disappear! I still can't see you, you're about to disappear me!

But looking at Mu Xu, Su Changan still said: "Just two sentences."

When Mu Xu heard this, his face twisted up. He felt so wronged. What the hell is this? How can you keep people in suspense like this? It's not so torturous.

…

but

The location of Yan at the same time.

Xia Zhixu was lying on the roof, looking at the blue sky. When the wind blew, Xia Zhixu felt cold, so he shrank back immediately.

But suddenly, Xia Zhixu heard someone coming downstairs. He looked down and found that it was the person he was waiting for. He immediately turned over and jumped off the roof.
