Chapter 163 I'm Not a Good Person
At the beginning, the Ye family found her and asked her to go to Beijing to marry in place of her husband. She didn't want to agree at first. She opened a clinic with her mother in Nanyang. Every day she brought a jar of wine to the old temple keeper to learn things. She lived a comfortable life. But who knew that the old temple keeper suddenly disappeared.
However, her mother took the initiative to accept the Ye family's request and later went to Shangjing. She never had any contact with the old temple keeper again.
He wanted to know the origins of her master, but she herself didn't know. If she just said she didn't know, Xie Chengyan would definitely think she was lying.
After pondering for a moment, she said, "My master is a knight from Nanyang to Southern Xinjiang. It's not surprising that he knows some witchcraft."
Her lie was a little childish, but she didn't realize it herself because she was vague enough and thought Xie Chengyan couldn't find any fault with it.
But Xie Chengyan stared at her for a moment, then chuckled. The golden silkworm Gu was not an easy thing to refine. Ye Lanzhou, a disciple, could make one. It was obvious that the person behind it must be no ordinary person. Even the King of Southern Xinjiang might not have such a person, but she said she was just a knight.
He didn't pursue the question further, but asked, "Where is your master from? Dayin? Or Southern Xinjiang?"
He emphasized the word "Southern Xinjiang" very much, and it sounded like an interrogation to Ye Lanzhou.
Ye Lanzhou forced himself to remain calm and said calmly, "Knight, where do you stand?"
I thought he wouldn't believe me and would ask more questions, but unexpectedly, he changed the question: "What about you? Which side are you on?"
As soon as he said this, Ye Lanzhou felt that the atmosphere in the room became a little subtle, and there was a faint sense of crisis in the air. It was snowing heavily outside, but she felt a little hot.
Did Xie Chengyan doubt her? If so, why did he show her that kind of...dependence last night?
She suddenly felt a little regretful. If she had known that he would doubt her position, she should not have helped him, or in other words, she should not have shown her abilities in front of him.
She was about to speak when she heard Xie Chengyan continue, "If you are from Southern Xinjiang, I can also cooperate with Southern Xinjiang."
Ye Lanzhou was stunned, her mouth opening, unsure what to say. Every action Xie Chengyan had taken today had been unexpected. Was he attempting treason? Was this still Xie Chengyan? As a prince, he actually uttered such outrageous words. If he acted this way, how was he any different from the Prince of Ning back then?
She only thought about it in her heart and didn't say anything, nor did she dare to say it. Xie Chengyan's thoughts were changeable, and who knew what he would be thinking the next moment.
After Xie Chengyan said these words that shocked Ye Lanzhou, he calmly poured a cup of tea, put it to his lips, took a sip, and then said, "Don't forget, I'm not a good person."
He is not a good person and he does things without any bottom line. What is treason?
But on second thought, there was nothing unreasonable about Xie Chengyan's treason. It was clearly the royal family who abandoned Xie Chengyan first, and now they had taken away his power as the Imperial City Inspection Office. The new emperor's party was eyeing him covetously, wishing that he would have no power at all. In such a situation, with Xie Chengyan's temperament, he would definitely find a way to fight back.
But what surprised Ye Lanzhou even more than before was her own attitude. She did not feel ashamed of Xie Chengyan for having such thoughts. On the contrary, just like she was obsessed with the scars on his body, she was actually a little obsessed with his crazy behavior.
