Xu Yang couldn't figure out the deep meaning of the other party's words, but he could only pretend to be confused.He looked straight ahead, watched those fox ears move regularly from the corner of his eye, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, His Royal Highness has his own heart, don't think about it."

Seeing the other party's eyes wandering, Yan Chen snorted pretending to be unhappy, raised his head and looked at the jawline and said: "It is said that man is the one who makes things happen, nothing is impossible, Yang Yang must be a disappointment?" His tone was light and light , "Actually, everything is ready now. In a few days, the civil servants' illnesses will be cured one after another, but the medicine they take has side effects. If they are not treated in time, they will die immediately."

After listening, Xu Yang finally grabbed his arms and pushed him away, "Why are so many innocent people involved? With your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to get the inner alchemy back and leave the capital, so why bother."

"Is Yang Yang really stupid, or is it because it's me that he doesn't agree?" Yan Chen also suppressed a few smiles, and narrowed the distance between the eyes of the two, "Do you want me to explain that clearly? I put all my heart and soul into it, just to move the country and give it to the person I like."

At the end of the sentence, Yan Chen was almost silent, but the half sentence went straight to the depths of Xu Yang's heart and echoed for a long time.Xu Yang's dark brown eyes rarely flashed a dark light, full of strangeness, and the reflection in them was also strange.

He looked at the fearless appearance just a few feet away, and he opened his mouth after a while: "When the world is peaceful, seeking power and usurping the throne will definitely hurt both sides, and it will be the common people who will suffer in the end."

"The northwest has just stabilized, and the barbarians are rampant in the south. It is too hasty to judge that the world is peaceful." Yan Chen smiled, stretched out his right hand and moved upwards along Xu Yang's abdomen.

He brushed the fabric of the clothes with the palm of his hand, observing each other's every expression with a happy mood, "Don't worry, I won't hurt the innocent. I know very well how many people the Xu family has placed beside Xia Mingyu, even he has always trusted him." Director Su, was pulled out of the death pit by General Xu before he was appreciated."

Speaking of this, he obviously felt Xu Yang's body tremble, and then hooked his fingers around his collar, "As long as the Xu family wants, Xia Mingyu will die suddenly in the next second, and then the empress will control the harem, and the forbidden army will open the palace gate Welcome to my lord."

Having basically understood the extent of the penetration of the opponent's forces, Xu Yang smiled wryly and said, "The imperial army...is like this, why don't you become the emperor yourself?"

"I'm afraid Yang Yang hates me."

"So you're going to pull the Xu family together to be traitors?"

"The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. Throughout the ages, regimes have changed, and what people value is food and clothing. How much is the word "sincerity" worth in front of survival? Otherwise, let's talk about how the previous dynasty was destroyed?"

Afterwards, Yan Chen watched Xu Yang pursing his lips tightly, without giving him a chance to breathe, "Yangyang, what I want to avenge is family feud. It is kind enough to let the palace not be named Xia. And choose Xu Yang as a surname." For repayment, second for trust, and third because you... have no intention of killing me at all."

As soon as the ending sound fell, Xu Yang grabbed his neck.

The stove in the guest room was still burning hot, Xu Yang didn't feel the coldness of the severe winter, but his fingertips felt extremely cold.There was no trace of panic on that jade-like face, and there was even some anticipation for the next direction.He was deeply chilled, but no matter how hard his fingers were, the strength was not enough to leave marks.

After a while, when the sky outside the window turned orange, there was another voice in the house: "I don't need it, and the Xu family doesn't have such ambitions."

Xu Yang withdrew his hand at once, got off the bed and walked straight to the stairs.When he left, he exhaled and said in a serious voice: "Calm down, Neidan, I will bring it back to you. But I will choose to stop you when it comes to seizing power."

***

The setting sun was shining, and late frost was gradually forming on the closed windows.In Liyan Palace, Xia Mingyu leaned against a soft pillow, peeling walnuts boredly.From time to time, he shifted his gaze to Vivienne, but the other party was concentrating on grinding the lead powder, and hardly looked at her.

There are also sand and a small stove on the desk, as well as some sealed bottles and jars. Next to it, there is a dilapidated book of Taoism, which contains the methods of alchemy in ancient times.

Then, just as Vivienne took away the wooden pestle and was about to pour the lead powder into the fuel, her hand holding the medicine jar still stopped.

At this time, Director Su walked into the room through the open door, bringing a gust of wind to blow the pages of the book.He looked at the girl cautiously and sighed, put down the medicine jar, sealed the lid, and said, "Miss An, it's time for our family to serve dinner."

"Okay, wait a minute." Vivienne tidied up her things and transferred them to the dining table with only the Daoist book and a peach wood box.

Xia Mingyu was helped out by his servants, and he said leisurely: "I let you burn the beads so confidently and boldly, why did you retreat before the battle?"

Vivienne washed her hands in the sink beside her and said, "Lead powder is poisonous. If you don't succeed and get some poison powder on it, the beads won't be able to enter. I'm going to try to find something with a similar shape first. She wiped her handkerchief and went back to the table. Just as she was opening the box to check the condition of the beads, she caught a glimpse of the other party looking down at her burningly from the corner of her eye, and then stopped her hand, "Is there anything else you want to ask, Your Majesty?"

"Are... are you caring about me?"

Looking at the confident face on the other side, Vivienne pinched her fingertips into her palm.The corners of her mouth were bent, and she said with a fake smile: "Your Majesty, the dishes are going to be cold."

Xia Mingyu didn't give up, and stretched out his hand to grab her hand, "Did those rumors outside make you think too much?"

"What rumor?" Vivienne said very quickly, and quickly raised her other hand to break it off.She is like a kitten with fury fur, wishing to punch someone down immediately.

"You are like the birth mother of the prince." Xia Mingyu retreated from Director Su who hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and confronted the person in a leisurely manner, and asked again: "Is it because you think I am old?"

After finally pulling her hand away, Vivienne distanced herself from the person and said, "Does Your Majesty want to hear the truth?" Seeing that the other party tilted her head to express her willingness to hear more about it, she continued bluntly: "Little girl, if today From His Majesty to the age of the empress, today's favor belongs to someone else."

Xia Mingyu understood, raised his eyebrows and asked back: "Do you think my feelings for the Empress have faded because she is old and decrepit?"

Vivienne rolled her eyes, "Isn't it?" As soon as the words fell, all the palace people waiting at the door broke out in cold sweat, feeling in their hearts the girl's outspokenness.

Xia Mingyu was also slightly stunned, and shook his head after a while and said: "People say that I change when I sit on the dragon chair. Whether it's joy or anger, everything is for the sake of securing that position, for myself. Love is a thing that is more important than power. I'm worthless, but I'm still human, and I'm lonely. As for the queen..." He paused, with a wry smile on his lips, "I've never treated the Xu family kindly, but they didn't just bring down this country. When the imperial concubine entered the palace, it was the time when the Zhong family's army was out fighting against the enemy, she didn't think about why I did this, and kept making troubles in the palace, did she really like me?"

"The Empress just wants to be with His Majesty forever, and she should have no other intentions." After Vivienne finished speaking calmly, she met the bottomless eyes not far away.

After looking at the person for a while, Xia Mingyu picked up the dish with his chopsticks, and said indifferently: "Then I can't give it to her. I am her husband, but I am also the king of all peoples."

Vivian: "..."

The sun gradually sank, and the shadow of the waning moon also appeared in the eastern sky.

After Xu Yang sent Xia Chen back to the palace, he drove back to the palace.As soon as he arrived at the gate, he happened to have a face-to-face meeting with the Imperial City Secretary who came to investigate.After a brief greeting among his colleagues, he went straight to the main courtyard.

"Father, what are the people from the Imperial City Division doing here? Is it necessary to find the general's mansion when searching for assassins?" Xu Yang pushed the door, and saw Xu Jingshi sitting in the middle, carefully fiddling with a piece of jade.He approached suspiciously and asked, "Isn't this something from home? How did it break?"

Xu Jingshi glued the pieces back meticulously, and said, "The officials who just came to check the burnt west courtyard accidentally knocked it down, and broke a corner."

"Tell them to pay." Xu Yang's tone was a little cold, and he was not even angry.

"It's not something expensive, it's just that your mother likes this style, so she won't be able to see it after repairing it. Besides, everyone in the court is in danger these days, so don't make trouble with the Imperial City Secretary." Xu Jingshi said calmly, Thinking of something, he chatted again: "That night, some silk and satin were burned in the west courtyard. After the new year, we will go back to our hometown in Jiangnan, meet relatives and buy some special products there. I have been thinking about your father. This matter, but always forget."

He intends to ease the atmosphere, but Xu Yang still cares about the first half of the sentence, "When will the general's mansion have to give three points to the Imperial City Secretary? Coward."

"Where did you get so angry?" Xu Jingshi sensed something was wrong with the other party, put back the jade and looked at it seriously.

Xu Yang's cheeks were a little flushed, and he was indeed in a state of anger. He said, "Yang'er just wants to know if people can do whatever it takes for their own self-interest? Why do you want to be aggrieved and not take revenge when you suffer a loss?"

The other party obviously had something on his mind, and there was only one person who was so excited.Xu Jingshi looked up in silence, suppressing his inner suspicion.He picked up the brush and glued it on, and calmly trimmed it while saying, "I just don't want to cause unnecessary trouble at this juncture. Don't worry, your father remembered the man's appearance and asked for his name... "

Before he finished speaking, Xu Jingshi suddenly discovered that the glue used not only failed to stick the fragments firmly, but also stuck to other places.He held up the jade vessel and aimed it at the candlelight, and found that the filth was very clear. He became anxious, "No, your father's craftsmanship is really poor, so you should buy one quickly. Do you remember which shop Yang'er was in?"

Xu Yang just stopped when he was about to sit down, "Remember, go now." Then, as he was stepping out of the room, Xu Jingshi stopped him again: "By the way, let's go to the palace a few times to see my aunt, she has been Missing you, I even wrote a letter."

The person holding the door frame turned his head and looked at Xu Jingshi who lowered his eyebrows and looked a little dignified.The cold wind leaked in, gusts of wind, and almost blew out the candle.

After a while, he nodded, "Yang'er will remember."
