After Ye Guixue left the palace, she met the eldest prince Yan Li on her way back to Chengguo Palace.
Yan Li deliberately waited for him on his way back to Chengguo Duke's mansion and stopped his carriage.
The coachman reported, "Sir, this is the eldest prince's carriage."
Ye Guixue opened the car curtain, stuck her head out, and looked at the carriage blocking the front.
At this time, Yan Li also poked his head out and greeted him with a smile, "Young Master Ye Er, you have been in the capital for a few days, and I have not fulfilled my friendship as a landlord. We met by chance today, and the time is just right. I would like to invite Ye Er Young Master, would you like to have lunch at the Guest House?"
Ye Guixue couldn't tell that he was waiting here to intercept him, but he even rejected His Majesty Daliang, so how could he agree to Yan Li? He shook his head, "I still have important things to do. Your Majesty left a meal today, but it was not used in the palace."
Yan Li did not give up, "No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat. This palace will not waste Young Master Ye's time." Fearing that Ye Guixue would refuse again, he added: "Ling's niece is still young. This palace heard that Ye Er How many years will Young Master keep her in Chengguo Duke's Mansion? How is Chengguo Duke's Mansion? Second Young Master Ye must have known about it after living here for so many days. But Second Young Master Ye, don't worry, with this palace here, he will definitely help take care of your niece. a bit."
Ye Guixue raised her eyebrows and looked at Yan Li, "What does your highness mean by this?"
Yan Li quickly smiled, "Don't get me wrong, Second Young Master Ye. What I mean is that your niece is still too young. Are you really relieved to leave her alone in Daliang Jingcheng? I fell in love with Second Young Master Ye at the first sight, and it is natural for me to take care of my niece." It doesn’t take much trouble.”
Ye Guixue smiled lightly when he heard this, "Your Highness, you don't have to worry about me. If I leave the capital, I will make arrangements for my niece. Daliang and Nanchu have diplomatic relations to this day. I believe that even if I leave, my niece will stay in the capital. , anyone in Beijing can take good care of her."
Yan Li's face froze, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "But who knows if there are any spies from the enemy country who are deliberately causing trouble? After all, such a weak child cannot tolerate the slightest mistake. Second Young Master Ye, do you think what I said is right? ?」
Ye Guixue narrowed her eyes and looked at Yan Li with a cold look in her eyes, "Your Highness, are you trying to force others to do something difficult for you?"
Yan Li immediately said: "I just want to have a casual meal with Mr. Ye."
Ye Guixue naturally understood that Yan Li's reluctance was not as simple as a simple meal. He said calmly: "I only have half an hour, and I can't go as far as the guest house."
"Then find a place nearby." Yan Li pointed out his hand in a very polite way, "Let's go to that one!"
Ye Guixue took a look and nodded.
The two carriages drove to the nearest restaurant, and the two got out of the carriage. Yan Li said very politely: "Young Master Ye, please."
Ye Guixue entered the restaurant with a calm expression.
There were not many people in this restaurant, so Yan Li and Ye Guixue entered the private room on the second floor. After the waiter served the food, Ye Guixue didn't move his chopsticks and just said to Yan Li: "If your Highness has anything to say, please say it as soon as possible!"
Yan Li didn't force Ye Guixue to use his chopsticks. He didn't have much appetite himself. Seeing Ye Guixue being so direct, he simply gave in and said directly: "Second Young Master Ye came to Daliang for Su Rong?"
Gui Xue did not answer at night.
Yan Li took him as acquiescing, "I heard that Second Young Master Ye and Su Rong went to the Great Buddhist Temple together. Could it be that the second Young Master Ye said that he was already engaged, and it was with Su Rong?"...
Ye Guixue still didn't answer.
Yan Li was not stupid, "It seems that I guessed it right."
He looked at Ye Guixue, "Su Rong rushed to the capital all night for Zhou Gu. She didn't care about the thorns along the way and was covered in blood. No matter what people said, she went straight into the Duke Protector's Mansion late at night and saved Zhou Gu's life. She can save Zhou Gu's life. If it goes to such an extent, doesn’t Second Young Master Ye have any opinions?”
Ye Guixue remained silent.
Yan Li thought that he was right again, and said to Ye Guixue: "Second Young Master Ye, people in the light do not speak secretly. This palace has learned that Su Rong is your princess of Nan Chu. You have followed the order of the king of Nan Chu. When she comes, we have no intention of embarrassing her, and naturally we have no intention of embarrassing Second Young Master Ye. We just want to make a deal with Second Young Master Ye. Don’t worry, this deal will never harm Young Master Ye’s interests. On the contrary, it will not harm Second Young Master Ye. You gain nothing and do no harm."
Ye Guixue looked at Yan Li calmly.
Yan Li directly revealed his purpose, "Young Master Ye must know that the Protector's Palace is leaning towards the East Palace because of Zhou Gu. Zhou Gu is concerned about the existence of the Protector's Palace..."
He paused, pointed to a lamp on the table, and seemed to have found a suitable way to describe it. He compared it to Ye Guixue, "It's just like the wick of this lamp. As long as the wick is extinguished, the Protector's Palace will be transformed in an instant." It will collapse and disintegrate, which is nothing to be afraid of. This palace just wants to extinguish the wick of Zhou Gu. As for you, Second Young Master Ye, you will also eliminate the harm forever. As the saying goes, death is like the extinguishing of a lamp, as long as Zhou Gu dies. , from now on the princess is truly yours. Otherwise, how can he be sure that he will not be a threat to you even if he lives for one day?"
Seeing Ye Guixue's unmoving expression, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Young Master Ye is probably too relieved. Do you really think that Su Rong took the initiative to terminate Zhou Gu's engagement and has nothing to do with her since then? I advise Ye Second Young Master, don’t be too naive. Since ancient times, innocent people have had no good end. Second Young Master Ye, you must be talented and good-looking. You must have both good looks and good looks, and you are the best in talent. You are a good match for the princess. But if she Do you have Zhou Gu in your heart? I advise you not to put too much trust in women. Women are the most fickle. Zhou Gu once stayed in Jiangning County for more than a month. At that time, he was Su Rong's fiancé. The entire Su family in Jiangning County, Treating him as a treasure, just a little inquiry will tell that from Su Xu to Su Xingze, he has been treated as the real uncle of the Su family. How long has he stayed in Jiangning County and lived in the Su Family Mansion? How long has it been? Su Xu praised Zhou Gu every time he met, while Su Xing kept company with him every day and introduced him to many talented people in Jiangzhou. There was also Su Rong, the two of them traveled hand in hand. She took Zhou Gu around Jiangning County and enjoyed the peach blossoms. River, Maple Leaf River, Phoenix Mountain, one month is not long, but it is not short either. The love between men and women has already been born, otherwise Su Rong would not have rushed back to the capital from the Great Buddha Temple late at night to save Zhou Gu's life. . Are you really worried about them like this?"
Ye Guixue listened quietly, her face was extremely calm, there was no expression on her face, and she did not answer the words.
Yan Li doesn't believe that a man doesn't care about the woman he talks to. What man doesn't want the woman he chooses to belong to him physically and mentally? He kept up his efforts, "So, Second Young Master Ye, you should know the truth that people who have no long-term worries must have immediate worries. If you don't cooperate with me now to kill Zhou Gu and relieve your worries, otherwise one day in the future, Su Rong will use you to She returned to Nanchu by ladder and succeeded to the throne as the queen of Nanchu. By then, her wings will be hardened and she will no longer need you. She will ruin her marriage with you and choose Zhou Gu again, who she misses in her heart. By then, There's no place for you to cry? Don't think that women who are made of water will be soft-hearted. That's an ordinary woman. That woman Su Rong, can she be an ordinary woman? She is cruel, but she doesn't even show mercy to herself. Can she be... If I cancel Zhou Gu’s marriage now for my own benefit, I may one day cancel my marriage to you for what I want in my heart. By then, you will be in vain.”….
He saw that Ye Guixue's expression remained unchanged, and he was angry in his heart. He thought that Ye Guixue was worthy of Ye Xiang's careful cultivation and the respect of the King of Southern Chu. He had analyzed the matter thoroughly for him, and he was not unmoved at all. , at least from the outside, he couldn't tell that he had any mood swings.
He suppressed the irritation in his heart and said to Ye Guixue: "Second Young Master Ye, please say something. How about you and I joining forces for mutual benefit? Or does your Prime Minister Ye's Mansion have other plans? You and Su Rong have made a decision. Is the marriage contract just a temporary surrender of power? Your Prime Minister Ye also wants the throne of Nanchu? That would be even better, you and I will join forces, and when I sit in that position, I can help you win the throne of Nanchu."
Ye Guixue finally spoke up. He looked at Yan Li calmly, "I don't think much of what His Highness said."
Yan Li's face instantly turned ugly. After saying so much, he could only say this, Ye Guixue?
Ye Guixue slowly stood up and said, "If you have different opinions, please find someone else, Your Highness. I am not the person you should be looking for."
Yan Li stood up and said, "What do you mean, Master Ye? Do you really not care?"
He spent a long time talking, and naturally it was impossible for Ye Guixue to just send him away like this.
Ye Guixue smiled lightly and said, "Your Highness, you underestimate me, the princess of Nanchu, and you also underestimate me, Ye Guixue. You conspired with others to harm my princess. You are a villain in vain, and you harm the people the princess wants to protect." . It’s both unwise and stupid. I won’t be a fool. That’s it. Your Highness doesn’t need to bother you any more. Just take care of yourself!”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Yan Li naturally refused to let him go and raised his hand to stop him.
Ye Guixue waved her sleeves gently, and a gust of wind blew past her face. Yan Li was pushed away by him without even touching a piece of his sleeve. He walked out of the room without looking or looking back.
Yan Li's face changed in shock, and he swayed, barely holding on to the chair to stand still. When he raised his eyes again, Ye Guixue had left the room and no one was there. He was so frightened and angry that he almost broke his teeth, which made a rattling noise. He stared at the door for a long time, then with a wave of his hand, he violently overturned the table.
The dishes clattered and the soup splashed everywhere.
Yan Li stood in the mess, angry and gloomy at the same time, "Have a good night and return to the snow!"
His few words made him seem like a clown who gave him a long speech in front of him and analyzed the pros and cons for him.
He wanted to rush out and tear Ye Guixue apart, but he knew clearly in his heart that there was nothing he could do about Ye Guixue unless he sought help. He gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and thought about the next person to seek cooperation with. .
