Yuan Shuolin followed Xiao Chengyi into Tingfeng Courtyard. The two of them sat down in front of the stone table. Thinking of what happened in the morning court today, Yuan Shuolin was still a little excited. He couldn't help but said: "Young Master Xiao doesn't know something. The prince today is like
Like a bereaved dog, he was beaten so hard that he was unable to resist. Even the Han family suffered a lot from it.
I owe this achievement to Young Master Xiao for his help, but I don’t know why Young Master Xiao asked me to protect the Crown Prince and Mu Zongping?"
Today, whether he was interceding for the deposed prince or for Mu Zongping, he was under the guidance of Xiao Chengyi.
Xiao Chengyi poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Yuan Shuolin and said: "Do you think His Majesty really wants to execute the prince? If you add insult to injury at this time, it will only make His Majesty disgusted. Only by interceding for the prince can you show your respect for the king and your respect for your brothers.
, His Majesty will also look high on you."
Yuan Shuolin suddenly realized that he only wanted to get rid of the weeds but never thought about whether he would violate his father's taboo. Now he heard Xiao Chengyi's words and suddenly understood.
He said with some shame: "This king is superficial. What about the second master of the Mu family? Why did you keep him?"
Xiao Chengyi picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip: "It's not that I want to protect him, but His Majesty is still useful in keeping this person. Using your mouth to protect Mu Zongping's life is the same as protecting the prince."
Yuan Shuo Lin was stunned and asked full of doubts: "What is the use of my father keeping the second master of the Mu family?"
In his opinion, the second master of the Mu family is a timid and fearful waste. He would even abandon his son to survive for himself. He doesn't know what's the use of keeping such a person?
Xiao Chengyi smiled and said: "Your Majesty naturally wants to use Master Mu's ambition to deal with General Mu."
Yuan Shuolin: "..."
It’s not that he was surprised, but no one thought that Mr. Mu Er and General Mu could compete with each other at all, and he didn’t know what his father saw in Mr. Mu Er?
Or is it that he is too short-sighted and did not realize Mu Zongping's extraordinary qualities?
He coughed lightly, covered his lips and said, "Mr. Xiao, if I am lucky enough to get what I want, I can promise you that I will not touch the Mu family in the future."
Xiao Chengyi's brows moved and he said in a faint voice: "As the saying goes, how can one allow others to snore and sleep on the side of an emperor? The Mu family is in charge of military power and is arrogant. As an emperor, is there any reason not to be afraid?
I'm afraid that the prince will feel the same way when he becomes the chief protector on that day, so it's too early to say this at this time. When the prince becomes the crown prince of the East Palace, we will discuss this matter over tea."
Yuan Shuo's lips twitched and Xiao Chengyi said speechless retort. He had not forgotten the bet he made with Xiao Chengyi. It was hard to say whether the throne of the Prince of the East Palace would belong to him.
He didn't think too much, picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip and asked curiously: "I wonder who the little monk next to the county lord is?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "He was originally Xuandu's apprentice. He was adopted by me and now his name is You'an."
"Xuandu?"
Yuan Shuolin was a little surprised: "Have you and Xuan Du known each other before?"
Xiao Chengyi shook his head: "That's not the case, it's just that I heard before that there is an eminent monk in Fansheng Temple who is said to know everything and know everything about heaven and earth. I was curious and went to pay him a visit.
However, when I went there, he had already returned to secular life, and he was the only young apprentice left in the temple. Seeing how pitiful he was, I brought him back. This was the first time I saw Xuandu in the medical clinic in Xingping County."
Yuan Shuolin thought of Xuandu. In terms of demeanor, grace, and appearance, he was indeed superior to others, and he always felt that Xuandu's attitude towards Jiahe was somewhat different.
But if there really was something between the two of them, why didn't Xuan Du return to Beijing with them?
That man was just as unpredictable as Xiao Chengyi.
Yuan Shuolin frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "Master Xuandu is Jiahe's savior, but I didn't even have time to thank him properly."
Xiao Chengyi smiled, sipped the tea slowly and said: "There will always be a chance."
