Xia Yun narrowed his eyes deeply and looked at the woman opposite him. From the charming and charming at the beginning to the fluttering fairy among the plum blossoms, she appeared in thousands of different appearances, giving him great shock.
It's a pity that if you miss it, you will miss it. Maybe there will be opportunities in the future, but at this moment, beauty is by no means the most important thing. Even when there is no one and no one is alone, he always has an unspeakable feeling towards her.
Unknown attachment.
He shook his sleeves and his eyes were as cunning as a fox's. "How did Concubine Yi know that I have something to inquire about?"
Yi Fang smiled leisurely. She did not answer Xia Yunshen's question immediately. Instead, she looked around, with a bit of inadvertent defensiveness in her eyes.
Xia Yunshen saw where Yi Fang was looking, smiled calmly, and said loudly: "There is no need to look for it. Since I dare to discuss matters with the empress, those secret guards will naturally take care of it." There was a bit of arrogance and pride in his words.
.
Yifang was keenly aware of this and curled his lips without any trace, but said nothing. His eyes still wandered around without focusing on one place.
Of course she believed that Xia Yunshen had his own huge power secretly. At least, to a certain extent, he could avoid Xia Jie's surveillance. Maybe not completely, but to gain some time to meet some confidential people and talk about some confidential things, he
It can still be done. Otherwise, in the past ten years, how could Xia Yunshen keep his power from falling, how could he keep his position as prince and be so justified and praised by the courtiers.
But, maybe this situation is about to change. Otherwise, how could Xia Yunshen take the risk to look for her at this time and openly come to Yunshan Temple? Maybe this is Xia Yunshen's plan, but it cannot be denied that Xia Yunshen came out of this place.
Making a bad move, in itself, is proof of panic.
Will this chess game of the throne battle have a final result?
Yi Fang's hand tightened inadvertently, and with a snap, he broke a plum blossom tree branch that happened to be at hand. However, Yi Fang's face still had a leisurely and unstained expression, as if he had not continued to talk to Xia Yunshen at all.
desire.
Xia Yunshen's pupils shrank, his smile became cold, the gentleness in his eyes gradually faded, and his tone became serious.
"It seems that Concubine Yi doesn't take me seriously, and she doesn't even bother to say a word to me."
Seeing Xia Yunshen take off his gentle mask, for some reason, Yifang felt a little happy in his heart. They were all the same people who lived with masks. The difference was that Xia Yunshen's mask was for the courtiers and the country, while she
, it was for Xia Jie, to survive, so every time she saw Xia Yunshen's face that seemed as gentle as water, she seemed to see her own misery when she practiced day and night in front of the bronze mirror, and she felt even more disdainful.
And now Xia Yunshen is forced into a blind corner and wants to make a deal with her. Why can't she destroy his mask and at least make herself feel more comfortable before deciding whether to seek skin from a tiger or not?
But Yifang has always been a smart person. Smart people will not go too far when dealing with things, and will always grasp their own sense of proportion. Therefore, when she saw Xia Yunshen's faint anger, she finally said Xia Yunshen
The words I've always wanted to hear.
"I wonder what I can do for His Highness the Crown Prince? What can His Highness the Crown Prince give me in return?"
Yifang's words were extremely direct, but Xia Yunshen was slightly taken aback.
He was not wrong. She was an extremely smart woman who knew what she wanted and would never ask for what she wanted from others for no reason. However, such a woman with both talent and beauty passed by him.
However, if she stayed by his side, his great cause would be even more helpful!
The unwillingness and desire that had been hidden deep in Xia Yunshen's heart for a long time were brought out again. He suppressed the anxiety in his heart, stared at the room, and said slowly and meaningfully: "Your Majesty is really a smart person, and she always hits the mark when she speaks and does things."
Yifang chuckled indifferently, and his eyes bravely met Xia Yunshen's exploration. The confidence and pride hidden in him were no less, which made Xia Yunshen feel a sudden jump in his heart, as if he had lost his soul.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince has given you too much praise. Everyone in the palace is a smart person."
"Hua Yunqing is not." Xia Yunshen blurted out his words with a hint of sigh, and even more hidden incomparable loss. When Yifang heard this sentence, he was suddenly startled, and quickly recovered. Looking at Xia Yunshen's eyes,
Somewhat clear. Hua Yunqing, even in
In the prime of life, she was by no means a candidate worthy of being the mother of the country. In order for his son to have someone to rely on to keep the crown prince a hundred years later, the late emperor did not think of more details. This crown princess was really
Wrong choice.
However, why Hua Yunqing became like this should be half of Xia Jie's credit. His indulgence and forbearance towards Hua Yunqing were unprecedented. Every time, he used her name as Xia Yunshen's wife to protect her, and the courtiers praised her highly.
summer
No one saw Jie's kindness clearly. This was actually a good way to kill without losing blood. He placed a weapon next to Xia Yunshen that could give him a fatal blow at any time. Xia Jie had always been very good at killing people without blood.
"The Crown Princess is charming, straightforward and a very pure and straightforward person."
Yifang's perfunctory words made Xia Yunshen feel bitter in his heart. He snorted coldly and refused to comment.
"Mother, let's get down to business."
Yi Fang raised his head, gave Xia Yun a deep smile, and said somewhat innocently: "If the prince doesn't tell me, how will I know what's going on with you?"
Xia Yunshen saw such an innocent smile on such a charming and charming face. He felt uneasy and almost reached out his hand to touch the snow-like skin. Fortunately, when he saw the flying phoenix hairpin on Yi Fang's head, he
After pinching his palms behind his back, he calmly exhaled and said, "Does your Majesty know what is being rumored in the court today?"
Xia Yunshen's words were not intended for Yifang to answer, so he continued on his own before Yifang could speak.
"I have been childless for many years. Even if my concubine is pregnant, she will have a miscarriage. I wonder how your empress feels about this?"
This time, Xia Yunshen didn't wait for Yifang's answer and directly stated the purpose of his trip.
"The Crown Princess is pregnant, and I am happy in my heart. However, today there are too many affairs for the previous dynasty, and Qin Tianjian said that Zangyi Palace is located in the Seven Stars Corner, which is auspicious and peaceful, so I want to send the Crown Princess to Zangyi Palace to raise the baby.
, I wonder if your empress would be willing to take care of me on my behalf?"
Yifang thought about many of Xia Yunshen's purposes, but she never thought of this one. She looked at Xia Yunshen's face inquiringly, wondering why he would put his only hope of having an heir in her hands.
