It was rare for Concubine Yue to see Xu Zhihuai act like a coquettish person. She was slightly surprised, and then she laughed again: "I really didn't know that you had such a face. No wonder, the Crown Prince loves you so much that it hurts like nothing." of."
Xu Zhihuai pretended to be shy and lowered his head with a smile.
Concubine Yue leaned forward slightly, with a smile on her face: "You should have been like this a long time ago. Women, you have to learn to act coquettishly."
"Empress... you tell me first."
Xu Zhihuai's eyes were shining.
Concubine Yue smiled and narrowed her eyes: "Actually, you have heard about it, right? About Yue Yichuan."
Xu Zhihuai's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Master Yue?"
Concubine Yue looked at her suspiciously: "You really don't know?"
Xu Zhihuai found the best reason: "How long has it been since I entered the palace? Moreover, I never dared to inquire more about the affairs of the palace..."
Concubine Yue was obviously interested, so she ordered tea to be served again, and started talking eloquently.
The story of Yue Yichuan is not long, the young man is passionate, and the most soul-stirring story.
"You also know how much the eldest princess loves the prince. Back then, she was unwilling to marry a barbarian outside the Great Wall. The prince also went to war over this matter. He actually went to the imperial hall with a sword and said that he would kill the man with his own hands. The consequences of the barbarian leader’s arrogant words can be imagined.”
Xu Zhihuai thought of the scar on the prince's chest, and his pupils trembled slightly: "The prince is obviously such a gentle person."
"mild?"
The expression on Concubine Yue's face became slightly solemn: "How can there be a truly gentle person in this world? The prince was only impulsive once and frightened everyone."
Xu Zhihuai asked: "The marriage that the prince strongly opposed, how did it finally happen?"
"How can women in the palace have any freedom? Even the noble eldest princess can't help herself sometimes. The prince has violated the emperor's taboo by losing his temper in front of the emperor."
"How did the prince get injured?"
Concubine Yue's eyes darkened, she looked at Xu Zhihuai's face and said, "Who else in the world dares to attack the prince, besides the emperor?"
Xu Zhihuai covered his mouth and shouted softly.
Was the prince's scar caused by the emperor? That's a sword.
Can the emperor also take action?
"On the day the prince was injured, I tried to avoid seeing anything, but the scene at that time left everyone with lingering fears. When the sword went down, half of it struck the prince and half of it struck Wei Li."
Xu Zhihuai was shocked again.
Wei Li?
Yes, he did have a lot of scars on his body, but she never paid attention to them.
Concubine Yue talked about her excitement, but felt that she had said too much, so she drank tea to cover it up.
Xu Zhihuai followed suit and picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"That's all for the past. Yue Yichuan is obsessed with the eldest princess. This can't be considered a secret."
Xu Zhihuai was a little confused: "Your Majesty already knows, why did you still arrange his marriage before?"
"You kid, you are so direct in your question."
Concubine Yue regained her previous relaxed expression and smiled lightly: "Of course I have selfish motives, but he didn't give me face. After all, he was still too infatuated."
"Your Majesty, you don't want to bring the eldest princess and Yue Yichuan together, do you?"
Concubine Yue smiled and said nothing, with a meaningful look on her face.
Xu Zhihuai lowered his head to sip tea and thought to himself: There are some things that even good intentions cannot accomplish.
After hearing what Concubine Yue said, Xu Shi had some thoughts in his mind.
When Xu Zhihuai saw Yue Yichuan again, his eyes looked more attentive.
Yue Yichuan was so keen that he caught her gaze immediately and his face fell immediately. He couldn't say anything on his face. He only waited for the prince to return to the study before he took the time to find an opportunity to "confront" Xu Zhihuai.
"Does your Majesty have something to say?"
Xu Zhihuai didn't expect him to be so discerning, so he smiled softly: "Your Excellency, you are really smart. You can tell what I am thinking with just a few glances."
"My dear, please respect yourself!"
His tone turned mean.
Xu Zhihuai kept a close distance from him and said in a voice loud enough for him to hear clearly: "The eldest princess is leaving the palace for a long journey. Why don't you go with me, sir?"
"Empress!"
No matter how serious and calm Yue Yichuan was, he still couldn't help but get emotional when he heard the words "eldest princess".
"Why are you so excited? Mr. Yue, it's because you are so unstable and don't know how to hide it that you made your thoughts known to everyone."
Yue Yichuan was alert when he heard this: "What do you mean by this?"
"Means nothing."
"If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."
"Since the eldest princess is your sweetheart, you should be honest."
"What does this have to do with you?"
"It has nothing to do with me, but it is related to the Crown Prince and the Marquis."
Speaking of which, they are all trapped in a circle, and no one can get out.
"Your Majesty, you should take care of yourself. Don't think that because of the Crown Prince's favor, you can be tyrannical. The palace is not a place for you to act recklessly."
Yue Yichuan's tone paused: "Sooner or later, the Crown Prince will know about those disgraceful and dirty things between you and the Marquis."
Xu Zhihuai said calmly: "I'm not afraid."
This sentence made Yue Yichuan's face become even more gloomy. He gritted his teeth and couldn't help but want to blurt out those two words: despicable.
Xu Zhihuai looked at his gloomy and livid face and smiled faintly: "I don't care what your lord thinks of me. In fact, we don't have to be so tense every time. You can look down on me, but there is one thing you must remember. I and I Just like you, you always have the crown prince in your heart. I don’t know whether Qingyi Marquis or I am not sure. It was forced by the situation, but I have never had any intention of betrayal or teasing towards the prince. Just like you are as affectionate and sincere to the eldest princess..."
Yue Yichuan clenched his fists unconsciously when he heard this. Before he could refute, he heard her say again: "If you are willing to put aside your prejudices and conspire with me, we will definitely have good things going in pairs."
Xu Zhihuai still didn't give up the idea of winning over him.
Even if you have to use coercion or inducement, you have to give it a try.
Yue Yichuan still had a look of disdain on his face: "I humbly urge you not to have such wishful thinking."
"Isn't your greed for the eldest princess just wishful thinking? What's the difference between you and me?" Xu Zhihuai's eyes burned brightly: "If I can figure out a way to help you get your wish, are you willing to join forces with me?"
Yue Yichuan was secretly surprised, unable to imagine that she could say such bold and rebellious words.
"The empress lives in the harem and should abide by her duties. If you continue to talk nonsense like this, be careful of your death."
Seeing that his face was red with anger, Xu Zhihuai just said: "What? Do you know exactly what kind of life a woman in the palace should live?"
Yue Yichuan gave her a cold look and turned to leave.
Xu Zhihuai continued to provoke him with words: "You know clearly that the eldest princess is having a hard time being trapped in the palace, you know that she married far away from the Great Wall and suffered a lot of injustice, you know that her child is miserable and sick...why didn't you help her earlier! You How could you be willing to watch her suffer!"
