Chapter 214 Prince of Xiling
When the messenger came back, the two groups of people outside the door looked inside quietly.
Chen Che saw the visitor coming over politely and started to walk inside, but was stopped by the servant who stepped forward.
Shen Che looked at him doubtfully, "What?"
Servants: “........”
What? Isn't it obvious? You're not allowed in!
But the servant didn't dare to say that.
"Sir, my lady said that she is busy with important matters and cannot see you. She will definitely visit you in the future to express her apologies."
A hint of doubt flashed across his eyes, as deep as a dark pool, as if he was puzzled as to why Qiao Wanyan didn't let him in.
After the doubts, there was some disappointment and confusion.
Xu Shujian suddenly asked, "Did the Second Miss really say that?"
The servant laughed awkwardly, "Of course, how dare I lie?"
How dare he tell the truth?
Although the Prince of Xiling in front of him was now a hostage, the Emperor did not restrict his personal freedom. All his conditions were the same as the treatment given to the marquisates in the capital. How could he dare not change his message word for word?
What did my young lady say when she heard that Prince Xiling had arrived?
Just three words.
Let him go.
He can't just say, "My lady wants you to get out?"
Xu Shujian didn't believe what he said.
Chen Che glanced at Xu Shujian. Qiao Wanyan didn't have time to see him, so she wouldn't be so disrespectful to him to see Xu Shujian.
He just waited here, waiting for Xu Shujian to hit a wall as well.
In this way, your mood will be better and you won't feel so uncomfortable.
Xu Shujian naturally received his gaze, but did not take him seriously at all. Under Shen Che's gaze, he walked calmly inside. He remembered the way to Yongning Pavilion.
But the servant stepped forward again and blocked his way.
Xu Shujian's expression changed slightly.
The servant said with a wry smile, "Master Xu, my mistress didn't tell you to come in. She told you to just give the cheese to me. I'll take it in. Thank you for making this trip, Master Xu."
Chen Che said expressionlessly: “Ridiculous.”
Xu Shujian still had a gentle smile on his face, and handed the food box from the servant to him as if he didn't hear what he said.
"Miss, you are too polite. Please take it in."
The servant nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Master Xu, don't worry."
Xu Shujian nodded slightly and turned to leave. He glanced at Chen Che and then retracted his gaze and left without saying a word.
Chen Che glanced at the boxes of gifts he brought with him, "Since your young lady has also accepted Su Ruo, you should accept these things as well."
After saying that, he left.
The servant looked at the seven or eight boxes in front of the door and hurriedly ran to Yongning Pavilion.
Zi Yuan took the food box and took out the cheese inside. She habitually tested it with a silver needle before handing the cheese over with both hands.
Qiao Wanyan took a bite and smiled with satisfaction, "It's delicious. Let someone buy another portion for Sun Tian and ask her if she can make it."
Zi Yuan nodded in agreement, turned around and saw that the servant had not left yet, and asked hesitantly, "Is there anything else?"
The servant stammered for a few times, and finally reported: "The boxes of gifts brought by Prince Xiling were left at the door. Should these gifts be sent back to the next door or kept?"
Qiao Wanyan frowned slightly, "He came to give me a gift for no reason. He must be a weasel wishing me a happy new year. He has no good intentions."
She paused after she finished speaking, "Throw them all out, don't leave them at the door to bring bad luck."
Even if it is a specialty of Xiling, what can it do? No matter how unique it is, can it have more flowers? Do you really think you are stupid to use these little things to confuse yourself?
The news that the things were thrown on the street reached the ears of Chen Che next door in the blink of an eye, and also reached the ears of the person in the imperial study in the palace.
Su Xiao was sharpening his inkstone. "Your Majesty, it seems that the Prince of Xiling is very interested in Miss Qiao Er."
The emperor took a sip of tea and said slowly, "The girl from the Qiao family is extremely beautiful, and she is also arrogant, unique and unscrupulous. Such a girl is most likely to attract young men of high status."
Living in a blessed place, I have seen everything and have no interest in anything.
Therefore, I like those that are fresh and I have never seen before the most.
Su Xiao smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to bewitch our Prince Jing to the point where he couldn't bear to be hurt and really hated him."
The emperor glanced at him, his face expressionless. His eyes were as deep as the abyss, revealing an unquestionable aura of oppression.
Having been in a high position for many years, the aura that he inadvertently reveals is enough to make people dare not breathe.
"Are you making fun of my son?"
Su Xiao immediately knelt down and said, "I dare not."
The emperor looked at him with half-closed eyes for a long time, then suddenly laughed, "Get up."
"That boy is indeed like a child in terms of emotions."
He is a romantic.
However, he still needs time to see whether Prince Xiling is interested in Xiao Qiao or Minister Qiao.
I remember that five years ago, it was Minister Qiao's wandering students who accidentally learned that the bloodline of the former dynasty was still continuing in Xiling. It was also five years ago when Minister Qiao reported it that he learned that the bloodline of the former dynasty had not been wiped out.
Without the blood of the previous royal family, those remnants are nothing to be feared.
But if it does, it will be a huge hidden danger.
But Xiling had been too peaceful for so many years, so he had no reason to attack Xiling. This time in Shanglin Paddock, the prince used the assassination incident to push the blame onto Xiling, so that he could openly force Xiling to hand over the royal bloodline of the previous dynasty to avoid war.
But now, he wanted to know whether Minister Qiao had any relationship with Xiling. And whether it was true that the remnants of the previous dynasty were hiding in Xiling to continue their bloodline.
Don't wait until all the trouble is in vain.
The emperor put down the teacup. The queen of the previous dynasty was Princess Xiling. It was not unlikely that the remnants of the previous dynasty had fled to Xiling, but he always had to be on guard.
The palace servant outside the door came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince requests an audience."
"Let him in."
After a while, He Zhiyu walked in and greeted.
"You came just in time. I was just talking about the Xiling Prince."
He Zhiyu said, "Father, although I have taken a risk and have a way to get someone from Xiling, Xiling may not really hand him over so easily."
The emperor smiled and said, "One is a remnant of the previous dynasty of Dayu who has nothing to do with him and is dispensable, and the other is the prince of Xiling. Do you think the emperor of Xiling will hand him over?"
He Zhiyu was a little surprised, "Prince Xiling?"
His expression slightly changed, "Father, do you mean that the prince of Xiling is the crown prince of Xiling?"
The emperor smiled but said nothing, but He Zhiyu understood.
Su Xiao said nothing, but as a servant he could tell what was more important in the heart of Emperor Xiling.
