"I never thought that the two princes would appear at the same time. It seems that both of them have set their sights on my Yunxiang Tower. In this case, why don't I invite you two to come in and sit down?"
Xia Shang said a simple word and directed a few people to Yunxiang Building.
After a while, several people settled down in the cubicle on the third floor of Yunxiang Building, and the two princes and Xia Shang took their seats.
Fine wine and delicious food were placed on the round table. Wuliangye was poured from the flask into the wine glass, and the aroma of the wine gradually spread.
The smell alone was enough to be intoxicating. After smelling it, the two princes and their entourage all swallowed their saliva.
Not far from the table is a colorful bead curtain, through which you can have a panoramic view of the entire building.
The place below is overcrowded, and many people would rather stand here and wait for Ruo Chujian to appear.
Such a scene made Li Yong sigh with emotion: "It is rare to see such a lively scene in the newly promoted Fengyue Land on the day of its opening. It is said that if I first saw this, I would not know if it was a copycat of "A Dream of Red Mansions" written by Cao Xueqin.
True or false. But before I returned to Beijing from Jiangnan, this girl was well-known. I asked for a relationship many times but could not meet her. At the beginning, I wondered what kind of girl was so aloof and who was behind this.
How can she be so bold? I never thought that the person supporting her would be Mr. Xia, so it’s not surprising."
Xia Shang did not answer immediately. He was silent for a while and asked: "Two princes, are you sure you will only enjoy the scenery and not talk about political affairs today?"
Compared with the two princes' relaxed attitude, Xia Shang had a sullen face from beginning to end, as if he didn't like to see these two men.
Li Xin and Li Xiangyang looked at each other, and their expressions gradually calmed down.
Li Xiangyang smiled: "Since Mr. Xia is so direct, I won't beat around the bush. I do have something to discuss today, but I just want to change to a more suitable place to discuss the matter."
"There is nothing inconvenient here. If you have something to say, just say it. I think the two princes must have communicated in advance before coming here, and they must have reached some consensus, right?"
"Master Xia is still so smart." Li Yong took a deep breath, "Second brother and I have never sat together quietly like this in many years. It is rare that our relationship has eased, so naturally we have to put aside our previous grudges."
Li Xiangyang took a look around and saw that the people around him left with good intentions, leaving only the princess behind.
There was no one around, so the princess sat down calmly and glanced at Xia Shang.
"There are still three days." Li Xiangyang said, "There are still three days before Li Xin's confinement period expires. Shouldn't Mr. Xia prepare something?"
"Ready?" Xia Shang was slightly confused.
"It seems that Mr. Xia still doesn't quite understand his situation. Our eldest brother is not a good person. This time he was punished by his father, and it was all because of Mr. Xia. How much hatred does the Crown Prince have for you... I believe it.
You don’t need me to say more.”
"Of course I know this." Xia Shang replied.
"But what Mr. Xia doesn't know is how many forces are hidden behind His Highness the Crown Prince? And this punishment has made the situation in the capital no longer under the control of the Crown Prince. How big is the conflict of interest involved? How can His Highness the Crown Prince?"
How about letting Master Xia off easily?
As for the way His Highness the Prince behaves, I believe Master Xia will have some experience after the raid that night. Now he can't help but want to get rid of the Master before he leaves the East Palace. But after three days,
You can imagine how much pressure adults will face."
At the same time, Nangong Chuxin interrupted: "Don't be alarmist, you are all facing the same situation now. You divided the capital controlled by Li Xin into what it is now. Once Li Xin regains his freedom, he will definitely take revenge on the three of you.
Although I am a prostitute, I have been observing the situation in the capital for many years, and I feel somewhat confident.
Even if Li Xin has lost his former power, if any of the three of you faces Li Xin's wrath alone, it is tantamount to self-destruction. Xia Shang, based on our relationship, I will not lie to you on this point.
of."
Seeing Nangong Chuxin, Xia Shang would inevitably think of the past romantic affairs, but it was obvious that this woman could not be easily believed.
But there is no doubt that her analysis was just for Xia Shang.
Li Yong said: "Second brother and I have already discussed it, temporarily putting aside our previous grievances, and joining forces to fight against Li Xin. You are the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate appointed by the emperor, and it is at its peak. If you can join us, we will
There is no need to be afraid of Li Xin."
Xia Shang was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "Your Highness Prince Yong, I have already expressed my heart palpitations to you. Didn't you and I already have an agreement? Why do you need to ask again?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Xiangyang's expression became unnatural and he looked at Li Yong coldly.
Li Yong and Nangong Chuxin both frowned. They didn't understand why Xia Shang said this. How could Xia Shang reveal his secrets with his intelligence?
Obviously, Xia Shang did this on purpose!
Neither Li Yong nor Nangong Chuxin spoke, and the scene was a bit awkward.
Xia Shang laughed when he saw it: "It seems that we still haven't reached the conclusion of the negotiation! The cooperation I hope should be without concealment. But I believe it is difficult for the two of you to achieve this. Of course, what I just said
It's not a good word, and it feels like betraying others. However, I just want to express a point of view, that is, I am very unhappy now!"
As he spoke, Xia Shang's eyebrows flashed with murderous intent, and he rapped his knuckles on the table: "The reason is very clear, it was because of the attack that night! Don't rush to throw the blame to the eldest prince."
"Shift the blame? What blame?" Nangong Chuxin interjected subconsciously.
Only then did Xia Shang notice that the three people at the table looked confused, which actually made him feel less angry. He felt a little funny and explained: "I just put the blame on the eldest prince! I only believe in my own investigation. In
I will not agree to it until the truth of this matter is found out."
Li Yong and Li Xiangyang looked at each other, with disappointment in their eyes.
"It seems that Mr. Xia has made up his mind, so I won't say anything more. It's just that Mr. Xia had better be careful. This Li Xin is far from being as simple as you think. Only those who have seen him know how ruthless he is."
After Li Xiangyang finished speaking, he stood up, patted his clothes and left.
Obviously, this conversation was not pleasant.
Seeing Li Xiangyang leave, Li Yong suddenly slammed the table: "Master Xia, what are you doing? Why did you say that? Do you still suspect that I was involved in the attack that night?"
"Have a hand in it?" Xia Shang frowned, and immediately caught Li Yong's slip of the tongue, "What do you mean, have a hand in it? Does the prince really know something?"
"Xia, don't forget your identity. I am not playing word games with you."
"Shut up!" Nangong Chuxin shouted, and actually silenced Li Yong.
Li Yong opened his mouth as if to say something, but Nangong Chuxin shouted coldly: "Get out!" (To be continued)
