There were many subtle emotions in Xu Yang's eyes, and he withdrew after only staying for a few seconds, continuing to discuss business matters with Luo Zuo.The other party also took out a notebook and circled a few names.

"The team members in front went to investigate the situation of the nobles and learned two important points. One is that many of them who do not support the current prince were also invited here, and the other is that there is a bad rumor about the Leah Cathedral. "

"The rumors mean that the pope's life is corrupt?"

Luo Zuo shook his head, "Probably not. When I saw those boys talking about it, they were nervous and scared. But when you entered the room earlier... Well, they were quite excited."

The corner of Xu Yang's mouth curled slightly, and he sneered before asking, "What about those nobles who are in different teams?"

"Now the old king actually has another child, but he is a little more timid. Therefore, even though he has the same mother, the king still chooses the youngest son who is more like him, which is Theodore. Then, the couple I just circled The family corresponding to the young man declined shortly after Theodore came to power, basically at the same time."

"Then they still dare to come today." Xu Yang raised his eyebrows.

"This coronation is different and also marks the end of the old king's glory days, although it may not be consummated in the last few days."

After finishing speaking, Luo Zuo poked the names with the tip of a pen, and the bright red marks left on them were particularly eye-catching.Xu Yang lowered his eyes and stared for a moment to understand, then continued to whisper: "The Pope is not the right age, which means that the current Pope may not exist at all."

"At least he's part of the deviation, and we have to focus on his biography."

"But..." Xu Yang exhaled, and glanced to the side speechlessly, "Our Pope seems to be very busy."

Luo Zuo also looked at the two people who were talking and laughing together, "It's really difficult now, and we have to inquire about the situation on Theodore's side." Suddenly, he changed the subject, "But Xiao Yang, The Pope seems to be watching you all the time. How about... try again?"

The nuns relocated the wide table in the center of the hall, and prepared exquisite food and aged red wine to entertain the distinguished guests.

When Theodore went to find Yan Chen, seeing that the other party was in a good mood and smiled at him, he became more bold. "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a while." After saying hello, he naturally reached out to hug the other person's waist, but received a cold and stern look that changed in an instant.

His heart was startled, he retracted his hand embarrassingly and took a step back, but he still muttered: "Obviously I am the king and you are the minister."

Yan Chen immediately looked to the corner, and happened to see Xu Yang turn his face away, the corners of his mouth drooping with displeasure.Because of this unexpected harvest, he returned to his original calm expression, took two glasses of red wine, and leaned on the table.

He handed one of the cups to Theodore and said, "Good night, Your Highness, what's the matter with your sudden visit?"

The short greeting was flat and polite, and Theodore stared hard at the corner before saying bluntly: "This prince is here to remind you that you have to start implementing the plan tonight."

Yan Chen's expression paused for a moment, and he calmly looked around at the attendants who were three steps away, then turned his head and cast his calm gaze, "Your Highness, why don't you explain more clearly, I don't know what the plan is."

"When the royal family invited all the nobles to come here, you should have guessed it."

"Guess what?" Yan Chen put his finger on his chin, looking like he was thinking, "Let me guess something else, the plan that His Highness wants to tell me today has not been informed to His Majesty the King."

Theodore put down the wine glass, took a knife and fork, and cut the grilled fish on the iron plate in half from the head, "So what, as long as the purpose is for you, the father will not care too much." Speaking of this At this point, he looked up at the people beside him, and continued slowly: "You know, this prince also likes you, so now if I still have a chance, we can change the plan."

After listening, Yan Chen narrowed his eyes a little, stared at the temporary return of innocence on the other side, and shook his head seriously, "There is no chance, and Your Highness, I have to remind you, if this plan is implemented, you may not be able to." If you get away, you may also kill many innocent people."

"It will hurt people now, and it will hurt people if it is delayed. You just have to do it. I am ready for the aftermath." Theodore cut off a piece of fish and stuffed it into his mouth. "As for this prince, if you really talk to the Pope If you die together under the crown, this life is enough."

Yan Chen watched the other party finish speaking and grinned, and sighed silently.Then, just as he was about to say something more helplessly, he caught a glimpse of Xu Yang who was walking hesitantly out of the corner of his eye, and his originally dim eyes were tinged with narrowness.

From the prince's sudden visit to the moment, the nobles in the hall hardly looked away from the center, and their whispered discussions almost never stopped, but Xu Yang's unexpected movement made everyone hold their breath.

Feeling the attention from all directions, Xu Yang slid his Adam's apple slightly, walking more calmly.

"Mr. Xu, please stop."

Xu Yang turned his eyes to see the person blocking him, still unhurried, "It's you again, Deacon Pi." He raised his eyebrows, tilted the wine glass in his hand towards the other party, and stuffed it into the other party's hand with a smile, then Taking advantage of the person's unpreparedness, he walked past the person with a single step.

There was only the sound of his own footsteps in the whole hall. He walked straight towards Yan Chen facing the staggered lights, first saluted Theodore, and then looked into Yan Chen's pale golden eyes, "Your Majesty, from this afternoon onwards, I will wait for you It's been too long, and now I feel a bit...empty and lonely." After forcing himself to finish the last four words, Xu Yang's back straightened.

Yan Chen also saw his discomfort, but still responded according to his own thoughts: "Sorry, my dear, it was my negligence."

Xu Yang was numb all over, and after a few seconds, he insisted on finishing his rehearsed invitation speech, "Your Majesty seems to have something else to do, so I will not bother you later, but unfortunately my wine was taken away." gone."

"I'll give you mine." Yan Chen quickly understood the deep meaning of these words, and lightly shook the goblet in his hand.However, he didn't intend to simply hand it over, but suddenly raised his hand and drank the red wine in one gulp.While Xu Yang was still in a daze, he pinched the opponent's chin and covered his lips with his thumb.

Xu Yang's eyes widened instantly, but before he could resist, he was forced to raise his head.The bright red wine overflowed from the corner of the other party's mouth, dripped on the cheeks on both sides, and trickled down the neck all the way, staining the slightly open shirt red.

From other angles, their current behavior is very similar to mouth-to-mouth feeding, and soon, the people watching began to applaud and boo.The increasingly turbulent sound waves were about to hit the five-colored glass on the roof, but fortunately, it didn't last long.

Most of the red wine was still swallowed by Yan Chen himself. He leaned on Xu Yang's shoulder, and could feel the ups and downs of the other person's figure and the shame and anger that he tried to suppress.

"I'm sorry," he lowered his hands without any movement, his tone was low and sincere, "just help me."

After a few breaths, Xu Yang regained the clarity in his eyes, and calmly looked at Theodore who was gnashing his teeth.It can be seen that the young prince has a lot of hostility towards him.Xu Yang pondered for a while, stroked the back of the person in his arms, and said bluntly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is drunk, I will take him up first."

Theodore clenched his fists tightly, but Tong Yanchen emphasized again: "Pope, remember what the prince said just now." Afterwards, he turned around and left surrounded by the crowd.

After the shadows of the entire team were gone, Xu Yang put one of Yan Chen's arms on his shoulders, did his tricks, and helped him up the stairs.

When they climbed up to the fourth and fifth floors, no one could see them. Xu Yang left Yan Chen indifferently, ready to turn around and go back.

"Wait a minute."

The other party's voice trembled slightly, Xu Yang still stopped, but did not turn his head.Just when he thought that the person behind him was about to say something sweet, he caught a glimpse of a silk handkerchief from the corner of his eye.

He pinched a corner without much thought, and afterward, the owner of the handkerchief walked away, and the sound of footsteps going upstairs followed.

Xu Yang was stunned for a moment, then left with a sideways glance at the lonely and preoccupied figure until he turned the corner.On the next floor, Vivienne followed up worriedly.She came to Xu Yang, frowned and heard the other party suddenly say: "Obviously I am the one who was taken advantage of, why is he wronged?"

The girl blinked, "But brother Yang, your purpose is not pure, isn't everything for the mission? It was you who took the initiative to approach, and it was also the glass of wine you asked for."

"I……"

Looking at the speechless appearance of the other party, Vivienne's eyes flashed, "Or, are you serious, and you fell in love at first sight again?"

"Why 'again'?" Now, it was Xu Yang's turn to be confused.

Vivienne scratched the tip of her nose, and quickly returned to the topic: "If you are not ready, then I will try." After speaking, the girl started walking again.

"Stop!" Xu Yang pressed his eyebrows and said distractedly, "Forget it, it's not too much."
