Chapter 146: Think clearly
He Chaoci glanced at him calmly, "You have to think clearly about the current situation. If you enter the Regent's Palace, if something goes wrong, no one can protect you. Stay here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qingshan nodded solemnly, "The student has thought clearly."
The next moment, he threw his robe aside with a firm look.
He clasped his hands into fists and bowed slightly towards He Chaoci, "If the prince does not dislike it, the student is willing to study with you."
His tone was so sincere that no one could hear any other thoughts.
In the past, he would have never dared to stand up and say this, but now, he just wants to follow his heart.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Fanfei on the side couldn't help but took a step forward, and first glanced at Xu Qingshan with great disdain.
Then he folded his arms again, stood aside, and snorted coldly, "I really thought you were such a noble and upright scholar, but I didn't expect you were also a clinging person, but I have to remind you that you have to be responsible for your own choices. Take responsibility."
He moved closer to Xu Qingshan and lowered his voice: "If this is the wrong choice, it will be wrong every step of the way. Don't blame me for not telling you in advance."
He quickly stood back and said in a tone of voice . The sarcasm in him could not be concealed at all.
Xu Qingshan stood up straight, looked at him steadily, and then said word by word: "You don't need to worry about this. There is an essential difference between you and me."
Lu Fanfei seemed to have heard something . Like a big joke, he couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh a few times, looking at Xu Qingshan as if he were a fool.
"I won't argue with you. After a while, you will know who is right and who is wrong. Naturally, you will also know how wrong what you said today is."
Lu Fanfei clapped his hands, and the group directly transferred He Chaoci's words. People gathered around.
He Chaoci only turned slightly to the side, glanced at him lightly, and then looked away.
Shi Yi gritted his teeth and even wanted to rush forward.
He Chaoci only gave him a casual look, and Shi Yi retreated silently.
He had to tighten his fists at his sides.
But those eyes were still staring at Lu Fanfei, as if they were like a poisonous snake staring at its prey, waiting for an opportunity to move.
Xu Qingshan's face was very urgent. He asked He Chaoci anxiously: "I wonder if what the student just said can come true?"
He raised his head slightly and looked at He Chaoci.
He Chaoci was silent for a moment and only glanced at him with lowered eyes.
Then, he nodded lightly and said, "Come in."
Immediately, he raised his feet and walked inside.
Only Lu Fanfei and his party were left outside the palace.
Lu Fanfei sighed, with disdain on his face, "At this time, you are still here carrying the airs of a prince. Without the trust of the emperor, you are nothing."
The guard closest to him saw this. , immediately stepped forward to help him, "Don't be like that Xu Qingshan, he is just a scholar, there is no threat."
He hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said: "But you just targeted the regent like this King, if the regent regains the emperor's trust after some time, he will definitely take revenge for today, then..."
He hesitated for a moment and did not say the next words, but what did he mean by his words? Lu Fan Fei couldn't understand it better.
Lu Fanfei looked deeply at the direction He Chaoci was leaving, without any expression on his face. After a moment of silence, he turned sideways, looked at the person next to him and said, "Then he must be able to come out. Okay."
The people around him were confused and shook their heads with puzzled expressions. They opened their lips slightly and wanted to say something, but they saw that the other party remained silent.
Lu Fanfei cleared his throat, turned around and said loudly to everyone: "Everyone is guarding the place. The emperor has specifically told us that during the period when the regent is in the palace, people must take turns to protect the place every day. This is also for Just in case, I can better protect the prince."
No one noticed the strange light in his eyes when he said this.
Inside the palace.
Lu Fanfei's voice just now was not concealed at all and reached the ears of everyone in the room.
Shi Yi's eyes widened with an expression of indignation. When his eyes fell on He Chaoci in front of him, he just curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, my subordinates will not act without permission, but this person is too hateful." "No one dared to do this in front of you before. How come this time, even a small commander dares to show off his power in front of you?"
He glanced sideways and then looked back. He snorted coldly, "I don't know who gave me this courage."
He Chaoli walked forward without any trouble.
Everyone behind him followed closely.
Xu Qingshan was the only person who followed him to the palace, and the others had already returned to their mansions when they were at the city gate.
Xu Qingshan turned sideways and looked at the movement outside the door, then turned to look at He Chaoci with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
He opened his lips slightly and tried to speak several times, but in the end he didn't say a word.
Shi Yi, who was on the side, immediately noticed his actions and couldn't help but ask: "Do you have anything to ask the prince?"
Xu Qingshan looked a little embarrassed. The next moment, after thinking about it, he still put it in his heart. He asked with confusion, "I wonder if the prince knows why this person is so arrogant, and why does the emperor do this?"
He Chao said without looking back: "The person outside is the person who assists the king."
Shi Yi There was a look on his face, and he blinked before he could fully recover.
What?
When did that person outside become the assistant to the king?
He was filled with doubts and wanted to continue speaking, but when he saw He Chaoci's indifferent face, he silently swallowed a bunch of questions in his heart.
Since the prince is very calm now, why should he think so much? Since the prince is so calm, he probably has a coping strategy.
He Chaoci glanced sideways at Xu Qingshan, who had a sad face, and finally stopped.
He said to himself, "What else don't you understand?"
Xu Qingshan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to ask him.
He thought for a moment and originally had many questions he wanted to ask, but when his eyes fell on the other party, he silently shut up.
In the end, he just shook his head and said, "The student has no questions for the time being. I just hope that I can help the prince."
While a few people were talking, they had already arrived in the main hall.
The maid on the side hurried forward and was about to pour tea, but the next moment, Xu Qingshan snatched it away.
He pushed the maid aside and said to himself, "Let me pour tea for the prince."
The maid who was snatched away from holding the pot silently took a step back, lowered her head, and quietly Waiting for instructions.
