Chapter 403 The Princess from the Cold Palace Who Was Sent to the Throne (14)
Wen Xingzhi has been accustomed to restraining his emotions since he was young. From childhood to adulthood, Wen Xingzhi has always had a strong ability to restrain himself.
Moreover, his ability to judge danger and his innate keen insight are also one of the important reasons why he was able to rise from a grassroots background, work his way up, and eventually become a high-ranking official.
Even now, he still has the ability to compete for that position.
Beauty trap...I can't help but think about it when I hear about her actions.
Could it be that all this was a conspiracy carefully planned by He Liming?
Did he deliberately throw out Qingwu as bait, trying to use the beauty trap to confuse Wen Xingzhi's mind and achieve his ulterior motives?
When Wen Xingzhi reached a position like this, money and power could no longer tempt him.
Many people racked their brains and tried every possible way to please him, but he remained unmoved.
Among these people, there are naturally those who attempt to use beauty traps to seduce others.
But for him, who is so smart that he is almost a demon, those so-called little tricks are nothing but the most boring tricks.
He was like a manipulator who stayed out of the matter, watching coldly every day as those people flattered and were cautious towards him, hoping to get something from him.
But in the end, these people will gain nothing.
Wen Xingzhi has been an ambitious person since he was young.
He knew at a very young age that if he wanted to gain a foothold in this complicated world, he had to sharpen his inner desires into indestructible steel.
He was gifted and extremely intelligent. Even though he grew up in that remote mountain village, when other children were still carefree playing in the mud and catching loaches, he already understood what it meant to draw inferences from one instance.
They also understand that knowledge can change their origin and destiny.
In such a remote mountain village, there was a man who won six prizes in a row.
From a poor student to the chief minister of the cabinet, every step he took was soaked in blood and calculation.
When he first entered officialdom, he was like a fledgling lamb. Under the cold eyes of the powerful, he struggled to endure every bite of humiliation and turned those open and secret attacks into steps to climb.
But a few years later, he would be able to personally throw his political enemies into the imperial prison and watch them kneel down and beg for mercy.
He climbed up step by step. Although he had no prominent background, he relied on his own means and determination to carve out a place for himself in officialdom and reached the high position of being appointed as prime minister.
Needless to say, the hardships involved and the incomparable abilities involved.
More importantly, Wen Xingzhi knew that in this world, only those who hold power and status have real and absolute say.
Today, he is only one step away from his ultimate goal. Wen Xingzhi certainly cannot give up all his years of hard work just because of a small thing.
However, at this moment, when he saw the pure and charming woman without any makeup, although she was obviously dressed as a young man, her eyes were so alluring no matter how he looked at them.
Wen Xingzhi heard a suppressed sigh coming from his chest.
This woman is really capable.
Hear and decide.
No wonder he was able to survive in such a harsh environment as the cold palace, and still be able to live to this day, and even have the possibility of ascending the throne in the future.
Wen Xingzhi thought about the current situation and realized that he was fully capable of nipping all potential crises in the bud before anything happened.
Whether it is to expose the secret of Qingwu's female body, or to make trouble in the court and directly overthrow the throne, these options are placed before Wen Xingzhi.
However, when his eyes fell on Qingwu, Wen Xingzhi's heart began to waver.
Qing Wu was looking at him cautiously, her eyes hiding nervousness, curiosity, and even a hint of shyness.
This innocent expression made Wen Xingzhi feel a little soft-hearted.
He had seen the hypocrisy and affectation of countless beauties, but he had never seen such a pair of eyes.
The water is crystal clear, yet it seems to be hiding thousands of ravines.
Whatever, what can a little girl do?
His bigger enemies, the ones who prevented him from ascending the throne, were Chi Yunjian and He Liming.
The important thing is to deal with them.
There really is no practical point in making things difficult for a little girl.
Today, a three-way balance of power has been formed and is difficult to break easily.
In this case, there is no harm in letting this little girl sit on the throne for the time being.
Wen Xingzhi pondered in his heart, and he decided to stick to the original plan and teach the new king some court affairs.
As for whether she can learn it, it all depends on her own luck.
Wen Xingzhi's fingertips unconsciously rubbed it, forcing his expression to return to his usual gentle smile, and said softly, "Your Majesty, please follow me."
Before he finished speaking, he turned and walked forward, his crimson robe brushing across the bluestone slabs like flowing clouds, and the patterns of sea water and river cliffs embroidered with gold thread gleamed in the light, like surging waves.
However, this gorgeous robe couldn't seem to conceal his deliberately slowed pace.
He was clearly waiting for the weak figure behind him to catch up.
"And I will study the art of governing a country with you..."
The calmness that he used to have when planning and strategizing was crumbling at this moment. Wen Xingzhi warned himself in his heart: This little girl is just a chess piece on the chessboard of power, there is no need to pay too much attention to her.
But my pace slowed down involuntarily, and slowed down again.
......
In the gilded animal-head incense burner of Longming Palace, ambergris is slowly rising, curling around like light smoke.
In the morning light, these wisps of fragrance interweave into a hazy mist, like a dream.
Qingwu was like a well-behaved cat, kneeling quietly in front of the green jade table, with the wide sleeves of her plain brocade robe hanging down like flowing clouds, and the jade crown in her hair emitting a warm luster.
She lowered her eyelashes and listened quietly, looking like a quiet ink painting.
Seeing Qingwu sitting down obediently and listening to his lecture, Wen Xingzhi suddenly had an idea in his mind.
Since He Liming can train Qingwu as a puppet, then conversely——
Why can't he do the same?
Now that he is the emperor's teacher, it is naturally easy for him to teach the little princess.
As long as the little princess listens to his teachings, he will definitely leave a way for her to survive when he finally conquers the world.
even......
He could also let the little princess continue to enjoy wealth and glory, and be well-fed with all the best things.
—and then stay by his side.
These words suddenly flashed through Wen Xingzhi's mind, making his heart instantly hot.
This unspeakable thought surged in his mind, even making Wen Xingzhi's usually cold body stir.
