Looking at the host's expression, Fang Shan knew this plan was highly unlikely to succeed. Finally, he struggled a bit, "Accomplishing is a virtue. When I become emperor, after a few days of playing the empress, I'll give you my place."
The sarcasm on Wei Sushen's lips disappeared, and he was unusually gentle as he stroked Fang Shan's soft hair: "Be good."
The sudden tenderness caught people off guard.
"Go to bed." The next sentence returned to a cold tone.
Fang Shan touched his nose, thinking that this was allowing him to daydream.
Leaving behind a "ha" full of emotion, Wei Sushen left with his hands behind his back.
Chen Yan reappeared after receiving a report from his servants and confirming that the prince had left. Before he reached the flower stand, he saw Fang Shan with empty eyes, looking up at the sky with an accusing look.
Chen Yan: "What happened?"
Fang Shan said absentmindedly, "You don't know what I've lost."
The path of a generation of empress was wasted.
Chen Yan had long given up hope of understanding this man's train of thought. Standing before him, he asked about the matter at hand: "The Crown Prince said that the Princess of Yuexiu is interested in me."
If it were someone else, Fang Shan would have scoffed at it, but since Wei Sushen had said it himself, he couldn't help but think a little more: "What else did he say?"
Chen Yan opened his mouth to speak, but after thinking about the suffering he had endured these days, he couldn't help but choke back, "Guess?"
Instead of getting angry as expected, Fang Shan turned his head and spoke in a calm voice: "He said he loves me."
“…”
A completely incomprehensible self-confidence.
Chen Yan sighed and said in a deep voice, "The Crown Prince stated that the Princess of Yuexiu has been accompanying the Queen Mother these days."
Based on Fang Shan's understanding of Wei Sushen, he quickly found out the hidden message in this sentence: the princess's focus was on the queen mother, and she did not try to create opportunities to get along with the prince.
Fang Shan narrowed his eyes. It was true that the Princess of Yuexiu Kingdom had initially favored Wei Sushen. Why did she suddenly change her mind?
If we must find a turning point, it can only be at the dinner that day, after the envoy and the princess met.
Fang Shan's eyes moved up and down, sizing up Chen Yan: "In terms of value, the general may be greater than the prince."
Emperor Chengyuan is still young, and who knows whether the prince will have the last laugh. But it is different for the general. Even if he ends up with nothing but the bird being killed and the bow being put away, the process will definitely be brilliant and fruitful.
Moreover, there are actually not many generals who have such an ending in history. Most of them are in command of a large army and have made great achievements that surpass their lords at a specific point in time.
If you think about it carefully, Chen Yan is far from reaching this level in any aspect.
"Plus, there is currently a strong contender for the position of Crown Princess. If she fails, she will most likely marry a certain prince."
Chen Yan's eyebrows jumped, and he made up his mind that if Emperor Chengyuan dared to grant him a marriage, he would let Fang Shan participate in the selection.
After figuring this out, my unbalanced mentality gradually stabilized... With such a big bargaining chip in hand, there is actually no need to worry too much.
·
Stopping losses in time is one of Yuexiu Country’s principles of action.
Wei Sushen guessed correctly that the Princess of Yuexiu Kingdom herself was more inclined towards the Crown Prince, but the news she received now was asking her to get as involved with Chen Yan as possible.
The Queen Mother caught a cold last night and is still resting.
The Princess of Yuexiu took the time to meet with the envoy and discuss the next plan with him.
"I can marry the general," the Princess of Yuexiu said, looking unhappy, "but the position of Crown Princess cannot belong to Chen Liuliu."
The messenger saw the jealousy hidden in her eyes, but did not accuse her: "Chen Liuliu is indeed a disaster."
The Princess of Yuexiu clasped and stretched her fingers, her shoulders trembling slightly with joy. She knew the man in front of her, and he meant what he said. Since he had determined that Chen Liuliu was a threat, he had to get rid of her.
"Do you want to... use a curse?"
idiot.
The messenger sneered inwardly, but didn't curse out loud.
Yuexiu Kingdom is an extremely patriarchal country, and his status in the country is also very high, far beyond that of a princess.
"Once someone is poisoned, regardless of whether it was us who did it or not, it will inevitably be linked to us." The messenger reminded him coldly, "Don't forget that we have problems within our ranks too."
Princess Yuexiu gritted her teeth and said, "Second brother and the others..."
The envoy waved his hand and said, "We must not allow Emperor Chengyuan and that idiot to reach any agreement in private."
Selling out one's country for personal gain, there are people in this world who are actually capable of doing such a thing.
The Princess of Yuexiu Kingdom nodded and said, "Then what should we do with Chen Liuliu?"
The messenger said, "Since you don't have to marry the crown prince, there's no apparent conflict of interest with her. I heard that Chen Liuliu was sent away for education since she was young and doesn't have many friends."
Princess Yuexiu felt sick. "Could it be that she wants me to be friends with her?"
"It's just a way to make the other party let down their guard." The messenger smiled. "After all, she is Chen Yan's sister. If she dies, there will definitely be people who will investigate. However, even if some people suffer a loss in secret, they dare not spread it widely."
The Princess of Yuexiu was slightly stunned, and suddenly realized that a woman who had lost her virginity could never become the Crown Princess.
…
It was a nice sunny day with wind and rain.
Fang Shan didn't know that someone was plotting against his 'chastity'.
Chen Yan didn’t know either, Wei Sushen didn’t know either, and no one knew.
If anyone knew, they would laugh until they choked.
The brothel business was making a fortune every day. Fang Shan hired someone to help him look after it, and he gradually had more free time.
If he wanted to push the host to the throne, whether actively or passively, he had to control a force. While he was still thinking about it, he heard that the princess of Yuexiu Kingdom came to visit.
Subconsciously, I thought she was trying to get close to Chen Yan, but when she arrived, the words between the lines showed that she wanted to make friends with him.
Fang Shan gave Chen Yan a look in private... What's going on?
Chen Yan shook his head. It didn’t matter to him as long as the trouble was not diverted towards him.
Princess Yuexiu said, "I have decided not to be the Crown Princess anymore."
Fang Shan pretended to be surprised.
"I've thought about it carefully. I admire the prince more than I love him. Compared to the prince, your temperament is more to my liking."
Fang Shan’s eyes lit up… Lily side quest?
He also wants to own this script.
"So can we be friends?" The Princess of Yuexiu Kingdom lowered her head and looked at him with slightly raised eyelids, as if she was afraid of being rejected.
Fang Shan's eyes were full of smiles, but only he knew how much warmth was in them.
It seems that this person is not going to follow Lily's script, so there is no need to show mercy.
"Actually, I was wrong too." Softening his voice, Fang Shan looked up at her with a sincere gaze. "I've never had any friends since I was a child. If you can let go of your prejudices, having more friends would certainly be a good thing."
His expression was so moving that Chen Yan, who was sitting on the other side like a wooden man from beginning to end, even though he knew in his heart that Fang Shan was just pretending, still had a little doubt about his acting skills.
Every movement and expression was perfectly controlled, and the show was performed to the extreme.
He suddenly felt less disgusted with the Princess of Yuexiu, and intuitively felt that she would soon be in trouble.
The autumn hunt will be here in a while, and Emperor Chengyuan intends to let the crown prince serve as regent to train him. During this period, the requirements on Wei Sushen in all aspects are very strict.
Fang Shan and Wei Sushen basically have no time to meet each other. One is busy with state affairs, and the other is cultivating his "sisterhood".
The initial suspicions Princess Yuexiu had had disappeared during her interactions with Fang Shan, and she believed that the other party had really been deceived into treating her as a friend.
After realizing this, immediately start planning the next step.
"There's a new restaurant opened in Beijing. I heard it's really delicious. How about we go and try it?"
The eyes of the Princess of Yuexiu Kingdom were full of anticipation. They had gone out to play these days and even went to the temple together to pray for marriage. There was no reason for Chen Liuliu to refuse.
Sure enough, the latter nodded happily.
The Princess of Yuexiu also smiled brightly, and only when she lowered her head occasionally would there be a flash of gloom in her eyes.
The capital city was a land of precious metals, and to open a restaurant here, one needed not only money but also connections. The place the Princess of Yuexiu had brought him to was famous for its exotic cuisine, and many customers came here to try something new.
Fang Shan and his friends were arranged in a private room on the top floor, where no one would disturb them.
He glanced at the exquisite dishes on the table, confirming they hadn't been drugged, and a look of consideration crossed his eyes. It wasn't the most clichéd drugging plot, and it seemed much more interesting than he'd expected.
An extremely mellow fragrance suddenly hit him, and Fang Shan couldn't help but move his nose and lean to the side.
The Princess of Yuexiu helped him pour a cup and said, "This fruit wine tastes really good."
Fang Shan concealed the sarcasm in his eyes. He knew better than anyone whether it was wine or fruit wine.
I sniffed the air intoxicatedly. It was a strong liquor, but with a fruity aroma.
It was a perfect plan. If he did something wrong due to his drinking, it would have nothing to do with the other party.
Princess Yuexiu raised her glass and said, "A toast to our sisterhood."
Fang Shan had a keen sense of smell and could detect something fishy about the incense she was wearing; he suspected it was cartilage powder. He wouldn't have needed to do this to an ordinary woman; it was likely she was frightened by his miraculous power that night.
He didn't listen carefully to what the Princess of Yuexiu said. He drank one glass of wine after another. Suddenly, he had the illusion that he didn't know what day it was.
Fang Shan was a boisterous person. As soon as he left, the general's mansion instantly returned to its original cold and solemn state.
Chen Yan calculated the time and saw that the person still hadn't returned. He thought about going to the palace to inform Crown Prince Fang Shan and Princess Yuexiu that they were going to the restaurant.
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand things, just be afraid of one thing." Chen Yan said.
Wei Sushen secretly sent people to check the movements of the Yuexiu envoys these days. After learning that the other party had purchased peach blossom wine, his eyes gradually became gloomy.
Peach Blossom Wine, also known as Three Cups of Drunk, is an extremely strong wine.
Chen Yan had seen all sorts of tactics on the battlefield and instantly guessed what the Yuexiu Princess was planning. "Doctor Zhang has always been wary of the Princess, so perhaps he'll use her tactics against her."
"Take advantage of their own strategy?" Wei Sushen's eyelids began to twitch. "It's God's blessing that he has this awareness."
Chen Yan frowned: "Are there any other possibilities?"
Wei Sushen thought of 666's attack power after being drunk, and his heart sank: "Take those who can be mobilized and follow me to the restaurant."
Chen Yan: "Even if you are worried that Doctor Zhang will be..."
Wei Sushen sneered: "What I am worried about is that he will demolish the imperial city."
“…”
The author has something to say: Later, Wei Sushen discovered that the meaning of his existence was not to carry out tasks, but to prevent the system from causing trouble...
