Hearing this, Gao Xunzhi also smiled at him, but it was hard to say whether he believed it or not. Among the two of them, Mi Jing's expression was more sincere, while Yu Shaoxie looked at Mi Jing with a strange expression.
Shaking his head, he turned his attention back to Xiao Rong and Qu Yunmie who had already left. He had also suffered this kind of treatment of being stabbed in the back for a disagreement before, but he did not have such a tragic past as Mi Jing, so he felt it was not so bad. What's more, when he and Qu Yunmie confronted each other, he was often the one who spoke more harshly, so even if he wanted to hold a grudge, he did not have the courage to do so.
But the king really needs to change this bad habit. His words may be unintentional, but they can pierce your bones like an icicle.
They arrived at a nearby flower hall, which was also used to entertain guests. If they were not on official business but just wanted to chat, they could bring their guests here. However, the popularity of the Zhenbei Army was too poor, and no one had come to them just for chatting.
No one has been to this flower hall since the day it was decorated, but now it is finally put to use.
Asking the guard for a lantern, Xiao Rong placed it on the table, and then he fiercely attacked Qu Yunmie: "Why do you say such things, Your Majesty? Don't you know what the Buddhist disciple has experienced in the past? He also experienced the tragedy ten years ago. How can Your Majesty speculate about the Buddhist disciple's past and use such words to slander him? Do you want to drive away the Buddhist disciple who was invited with so much difficulty?"
Qu Yunmie was originally looking at the flower pot beside him. Hearing this, he stood up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. "Yes! This person has evil intentions. I want to drive him away!"
When a group of people tried to stop Xiao Rong from going to Nanyong, Xiao Rong was fine; when Qu Yunmie slandered Mi Jing just now, Xiao Rong was also fine; and now, this seemed to be just an angry remark from Qu Yunmie, but it suddenly made Xiao Rong feel dizzy. He shook his head hard to prevent himself from fainting.
Qu Yunmie was serious, he really wanted to drive Mi Jing away.
Xiao Rong held the back of the chair next to him with one hand, and his hand grasped the wooden carvings on the back of the chair so hard that his knuckles turned white.
He didn't make a scene, but his voice was not steady: "Tell me the reason."
The lantern was placed on the table and they both stood. Qu Yunmie could not notice the change in Xiao Rong's complexion. He just suddenly felt something was wrong, so he did not hear clearly what question Xiao Rong asked.
He couldn't help but repeat: "What did you say?"
Xiao Rong endured the dizziness and nausea, and this time his voice was finally louder: "I say, tell me the reason!"
"I'm really fed up with your arbitrary behavior! You've had a problem with Fuzi since the beginning. I've told you so many times that his coming here will bring many benefits to the Zhenbei Army. If you really don't like him, why don't you just ask him to move out?! It was you who personally agreed to Fuzi moving into the palace that day. You also personally made a promise to persuade Fuzi to stay. Why did you regret it after only a month? There must be a reason for your regret, right? Tell me!"
Qu Yunmie's expression was extremely terrifying at this time. He kept thinking about the words "dictatorial and autocratic" in his mind. Although Xiao Rong had used more unpleasant words in front of him at the beginning, none of them combined could make him feel as painful as this one. He was dictatorial and autocratic?
He is arbitrary?!
Ever since he met Xiao Rong, he gave him whatever he wanted. He even agreed to move the capital to this inexplicable Chenliu. Anyone could say that he was arbitrary, except Xiao Rong!
Qu Yunmie stared at him intently but said nothing. The more Xiao Rong asked, the less he wanted to answer. However, Xiao Rong was as stubborn as he was. If he didn't answer, Xiao Rong would keep asking and asking until Qu Yunmie exploded.
"Because he doesn't care about you!"
Xiao Rong froze up when he yelled at him.
After the outburst, Qu Yunmie was like a tiger out of control. Every word he said was like a thunderclap, making Xiao Rong's ears buzz.
"You are just a chess piece in his eyes! I don't care how reasonable his words are, why didn't he mention the one in ten thousand chance of danger?! Now he says it is only one in ten thousand, but when it really happens to you, it will be a disaster! Who can save you then? Who will know that you need to be saved? If he is betting on himself, I won't say anything, but he is betting on you!"
Xiao Rong was stunned for a long time. After a long time, he finally reacted and said to Qu Yunmie as gently as possible: "But this matter cannot be blamed on the Buddhist disciple. This strategy was proposed by me. He was just analyzing the pros and cons. What's more, something with only a one in ten thousand possibility is almost equal to not happening."
Qu Yunmie's jaw moved, which was a subconscious movement he would make when he was disappointed in someone. Xiao Rong was stunned. He seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, but he didn't know what he had said wrong. Then he heard Qu Yunmie answer his doubts.
