Chapter 319 He was about to break when he saw it
Xiao Mingye opened his mouth in a daze.
His face changed color like ink spilled on a scroll, and his expression was very distorted. After a long time, he barely recovered to normal.
He looked at Jiang Wenjing suspiciously, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Don't talk nonsense, there is no precedent for women to serve as officials in Tianqi, let alone such an important job as the historian!"
Although he said it firmly, he didn't dare to glance at Jiang Zhiyu for a moment.
Jiang Zhiyu's evaluation of this is:
[strong.]
[Just pretend to die.]
Xiao Mingye: "..."
He pursed his lips, and the tall man of more than 1.8 meters now looked very aggrieved.
Jiang Wenjing wanted to tease him a few more words, but his eyes swept over Ji Tong and retracted them.
Now that he knew his identity, he didn't have the habit of giving others leverage.
He chuckled and tried to smooth things over: "Your Highness, what you just said was just a joke, right? It was just to tease us."
He raised the last syllable of his voice, with a threatening tone.
Xiao Mingye: "... Exactly."
Ji Tong also chuckled and echoed a few words. The regret in his eyes was suppressed by him. He began to re-evaluate the importance of Xiao Mingye in his heart.
Since Xiao Mingye had the intention of rebellion, he had to seduce him more. No matter how poor Xiao Mingye was, he was still a prince. It would be easier for him to assassinate the emperor than an ordinary assassin.
Moreover, apart from not being favored by the emperor, Xiao Mingye is outstanding in other aspects. Although he is unwilling to admit it, as long as Xiao Mingye succeeds, Tianqi will surely be in chaos.
By then, he will cooperate with He Shuo inside and outside in Shengjing.
In this way, there will be no worries about taking down Tianqi!
No one present cared about his calculations. When Xiao Mingye thought of what had just happened, his ears became hot and his cheeks felt as if they were burned by fire. It was painful.
Sitting on pins and needles and having thorns in the back were the true portrayals of him at the moment.
Moreover, Jiang Zhiyu beside him kept smiling at him...
He couldn't stay here for a second!
Xiao Mingye stood up suddenly, and everyone else looked up at him.
Xiao Mingye: "..."
His pretended demeanor suddenly collapsed, his face flushed, and his voice was a little floating: "I, your Highness, I remembered that I have an appointment with someone, I'll take my leave first."
Although Jiang Wenjing felt a little regretful, he stood up and prepared to see him off, but Xiao Mingye stretched out his hand and said, "No need to see him off."
Leave him alone!
[As the old saying goes, blind, all blind, blind spots are good. ]
[Just pretend you can't see. ]
[He was about to break when he saw it. ]
Xiao Mingye: "..."
He paused.
Jiang Wenjing: "...Puff."
He tried to hold it back, but still couldn't help laughing out loud.
Hearing the laughter, Xiao Mingye lowered his eyes, with a resentful expression, glared at him fiercely, then turned around and walked away, making a sound with every step, obviously very angry.
Jiang Wenjing: “…”
I wanted to laugh even more!
…
After leaving the mansion, Xiao Mingye got on his horse with a normal expression, walked through the crowd on the street, and returned to the restaurant.
When the staff heard that he was back, they hurriedly knocked on his door. After waiting for a long time, there was no response from inside the room.
The staff's eyes turned and he pushed the door open. The room was simply furnished with only a bed, a table, and a cabinet.
The staff's eyes swept over the bed and the table and fixed directly on the cabinet. He took a deep breath and opened the cabinet door. Sure enough, he saw Xiao Mingye curled up in the closet. The big man
, who was over 1.8 meters tall, was curled up in the closet. He hugged his legs tightly with his arms, his eyes were empty, and it was unknown how long he stayed there.
The staff patiently stood by and waited for him to adjust. After a while, he saw his fingers move slightly, and then he called softly: "Your Highness, it's time to come out."
Xiao Mingye closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He slowly stood up, and the staff reached out and helped him out of the cabinet. Xiao Mingye rubbed his sore legs: "What's wrong?"
The staff did not mention what happened just now, and said softly: "The uprising that Your Highness mentioned is not the same as the uprising that happened last time. "Things about... "
Before he could finish, Xiao Mingye cried out like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "What uprising! What uprising! Uprising of what!"
As if they were used to his sudden surprises, the staff were not scared at all. They just looked at him in confusion: "Your Highness, didn't you tell your subordinates
this morning that you would lead the Nanlong uprising?" It's not even noon yet, have you forgotten?
Xiao Mingye: "..."
He hugged his head in pain. He had finally recovered, why did they have to remind him again!
The staff ignored his collapse and said to himself: "I think this is inappropriate. The Southern Dragons are cunning and the dragonflies are hard to guard against. Although Jiang Yushi taught me the skills to defend, in the end..."
Xiao Mingye interrupted him again: "Jiang Yushi?"
"..." The staff tried his best to resist the urge to roll his eyes: "Yes, you should know that Jiang Yushi is your good friend, Jiang Wenjing's sister, the emperor is the Marquis of Anle..."
Before the staff finished speaking, Xiao Mingye interrupted him again: "No, your Highness didn't know. Since you knew she was Yushi, why didn't you tell your Highness earlier?"
The staff: "..."
"This is something that everyone in Shengjing knows. I thought your Highness heard about it on the first day you came to Shengjing..."
Everyone knows? Then why doesn't he know?
Xiao Mingye gritted his teeth.
What? He is not even a human being?
Xiao Mingye opened his mouth.
Seeing that he was about to interrupt him again, the staff could no longer bear it and said, "Your Highness, please listen to what I have to say first!"
Xiao Mingye: "..."
The staff said in one breath: "I didn't tell Your Highness not only because I thought Your Highness knew, but also because she has nothing to do with our plan."
How can she have nothing to do with it? If I had known it earlier, I wouldn't have lost face in front of them!
Thinking of what the staff yelled at him, Xiao Mingye could only complain in his heart.
"Let's get back to the topic. Cooperating with Nangun will ultimately do more harm than good, and our people are in Youzhou, which is far away from Shengjing. If Your Highness decides to revolt temporarily, except for the prince, the only one we can pull is Prince Yu."
"But Your Highness, don't blame me for being too talkative. Prince Yu is not reliable, and Your Highness should also know that Prince Yu seems to have a private affair with Prince Nangun."
Xiao Lingyu: "!!!"
No, he didn't know.
"If we really want to revolt before the palace banquet, we have no chance of winning with only the crown prince and the people we brought with us. If Your Highness can convince Jiang Wenjing, maybe there is still a chance."
The staff analyzed: "By the way, didn't Jiang Wenjing send a visiting card today? Did Your Highness mention this to him? What is his attitude?"
Xiao Lingyu: "..."
Enough, really enough!
