Hearing this, Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows lightly. He took a sip of tea carelessly and said, "The prince is far away in another country, but he knows everything about our country. The prince really cares about the country of Chu."
A particularly sincere smile appeared on Dongfang Wuxiang's face, "I don't care about Chu State, but about Prince Li. Once Nalan Meng and Prince Xian are brought together, Emperor Hongyuan will definitely make Prince Xian the crown prince.
Once the virtuous king becomes the prince, I’m afraid you won’t have a good life!”
"Instead of watching your opponent become stronger, you might as well cooperate with me. If you cooperate with me to stop this marriage and bring down the Xian King, you can weaken the Xian King's power, and I can also take back Meng'er.
I can also give you many conveniences that you cannot imagine."
Chu Xuanchen looked at Dongfang Wuxiang with a half-smile, "Oh? Unimaginable convenience?"
Dongfang Wuxiang nodded with a smile, "Of course, I am in charge of the trade of Donglin Kingdom. As long as you cooperate with me, I can make your trade very convenient. I can bring the people in the southwest of Donglin Kingdom
Trade is open to you, allowing you to do business there. Anyone who wants to do business there in the future must obtain your consent. In addition, we can also cooperate in the salt industry, mining, food, clothing, housing and transportation, etc. As long as we are strong
If we join forces, how can King Xian be your opponent?"
Chu Xuanchen looked at Dongfang Wuxiang coldly and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, Prince, I am not interested in these things. Please find another Gao Ming."
Dongfang Wuxiang looked at Chu Xuanchen in disbelief, "King Li, you don't want all the benefits this palace has given you? As long as we unite, we can overthrow the King Xian, and then you can take the throne. Maybe you and your wife
You can command the world, why not?"
Chu Xuanchen stood up and raised his eyebrows arrogantly, looking very domineering, "Why do you need someone else to do what I want to do? Prince, I advise you to give up on this idea!"
Seeing Chu Xuanchen's indifference, Dongfang Wuxiang gritted his teeth coldly, and then said: "Prince Li, you have to think clearly, are you really unwilling to cooperate with me?"
Chu Xuanchen reached out and tapped on the table, "We can talk about business cooperation, such as the trade you just mentioned, but not this matter!"
Hearing this, Dongfang Wuxiang felt like vomiting blood.
He wants to cooperate with Chu Xuanchen to overthrow the wise king. If Chu Xuanchen is not willing, he is willing to do business.
How could there be such a good thing in the world?
This Chu Xuanchen is really sinister. He only thinks about benefits and doesn't want to help him.
It seems that his trip today was in vain.
He waved his sleeves coldly, "King Li, it seems that our cooperation cannot continue. You don't really want to talk to me at all. I will leave now!"
Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows coldly, and his voice was extremely domineering, "Go slowly, I won't send you off!"
He never wanted to talk to Dongfang Wuxiang.
Dongfang Wuxiang had an angry look on his face after walking out of Prince Li's Mansion.
This Chu Xuanchen is really ignorant and thinks very highly of himself. He doesn't even take him as the prince seriously. He is too crazy!
He also didn't expect that Chu Xuanchen was so shrewd that he wouldn't be fooled at all.
On the surface, he wanted to cooperate with Chu Xuanchen, but in fact, he was using this to instigate an internal fight between Chu Xuanchen and the wise king, so as to drive the tiger and the wolf to eat, and make them kill each other, so that he, the Donglin Kingdom, could reap the benefits.
.
Who knew that Chu Xuanchen would not be fooled at all, and would not give him any face? He was really angry to death!
Thinking that King Xian and Nalan Meng were going to get married in ten days, he felt very anxious.
No, he must break them up as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late by the time they get married!
The Nalan family can only belong to the Donglin Kingdom, and he will never let this family fall into the hands of the enemy.
It is useless to ask Chu Xuanchen to deal with the wise king. It seems that he has to find other ministers of Chu State for help.
He wanted to ask people to contact and bribe those ministers as soon as possible, hoping to bring down the wise king, so that he could hope to regain Meng'er.

Prince Li's Mansion
These days, Yun Ruoyue has been resting at home.
Nan Feng and Xing'er like to play in water, so she often takes them to the backyard of Prince Li's Mansion to soak in the hot springs.
The water in the hot spring is very comfortable, and sometimes they soak in it for a long time. She can relax and spend time with the children.
On this day, after Yun Ruoyue and the children took a bath in the hot spring, Hong'er brought her a bathrobe to wear.
When Hong'er walked behind Yun Ruoyue, she suddenly saw a lifelike butterfly tattoo on Yun Ruoyue's back.
The tattoo was so beautiful that Hong'er couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wang..."
"Hong'er!" Hong'er just spoke, and suddenly the sound of Deng'er came from outside.
"Princess, please go out for a moment." Hong'er said, quickly put the bathrobe on Yun Ruoyue, then walked out immediately, and said to Deng'er outside: "Deng'er, what's wrong?"
"Hong'er, aren't you going to help out at the newly opened restaurant? Uncle Wang is going to deliver food to the restaurant, so we can take his carriage to the restaurant together," Deng'er said.
Hong'er quickly said: "Yes, it's very convenient to take Uncle Wang's ride. Okay, I'll go in and talk to the princess first."
With that said, she turned around and walked into the main hall, and said to Yun Ruoyue: "Madam, let Feng'er and Jiu'er take care of you here. Deng'er and I went to the restaurant to help!"
Yun Ruoyue chuckled: "Okay, you go!"
"Well, let's go first!" Hong'er said, and she and Deng'er went to find Uncle Wang. She immediately forgot about the tattoo on Yun Ruoyue's back.
Seeing Hong'er leaving, Feng'er quickly came over to help Yun Ruoyue put on her bathrobe.
Suddenly, she was shocked and said: "Mother, why are the tattoos on your back exposed? Didn't you cover them with ointment?"
"Ah?" Yun Ruoyue quickly went to look in the mirror, and sure enough she saw the tattoo on her back exposed.
She hurriedly said, "Maybe I've been soaking in hot springs every day for a long time, so I've soaked the concealer off!"
At this point, she exclaimed: "Oh no, Hong'er put some clothes on me just now, did she see it?"
Feng'er said: "Probably not. Hong'er has that big mouth. If she saw it, she would definitely say something. She was walking in a hurry just now, so she probably didn't see it. Don't worry, my dear."
After hearing Feng'er's words, Yun Ruoyue felt relieved.
It’s okay if you didn’t see it.
My mother said that this tattoo would bring death to her and the people around her, so she must not let it out.
So except for her and Feng'er, no one can know, not even Chu Xuanchen.
Because the fewer people who know, the better, so that everyone can be safe.
She picked up the concealer ointment on the table and said, "For everyone's safety, this tattoo cannot be known to anyone. Feng'er, please help me apply some more ointment to cover this tattoo."
"Yes, empress." Feng'er replied.
After saying that, she walked over, opened the ointment, and helped Yun Ruoyue apply it.
After Feng'er finished applying it, Yun Ruoyue looked in the mirror again.
When she saw that her back was white again, she breathed a sigh of relief.
