"Slut! What do you want to do? Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you? " Lei Tengfeng's gloomy eyes contained a ruthless aura and the words that came out of his mouth did not have a trace of warmth. The black-clothed woman froze and quickly reacted. She chuckled and said, "You brought Ling Yun back, right? Ha, ha … in any case, you didn't agree to the marriage alliance with the Da Chu State. Isn't this what you wanted? What are you unhappy about now? "
"You idiot!" Lei Tengfeng angrily scolded, "Who do you think you are? There are many hidden talents in Dong Chu's capital. Who do you think you can fool with your little tricks? Get up, we will immediately leave the capital! "
"Leave?" The black-clothed woman froze and there was some hesitation in her eyes. Lei Tengfeng coldly laughed and said, "It's fine if you don't want to leave. In a moment, I will send someone to send you to the Prince Ding Mansion. Haven't you always been thinking about Mo Xiuyao? Don't worry, when we return to Xi Ling, this prince will properly, explain, for, you! "
"No!" The black-clothed woman screamed and stood up. She grabbed Lei Tengfeng and said, "I'll go with you!" No one understood Mo Xiuyao better than she did. If she really fell into his hands, she would definitely die without a sound. Lei Tengfeng disdainfully pushed her hand away and turned to leave. Bold, afraid of death, and greedy woman …
The wedding at the Li Palace had become a ridiculous farce without any accidents. What was worse was that the bride had run away before the wedding had even begun. Very quickly, the Li Palace's masters, including King Li, Princess Consort Li, and Consort Xian Zhao dowager, were all summoned into the Imperial Palace by the Emperor's edict.
The bride was gone, the groom was gone, and the masters were gone. The guests naturally could not stay and freeload. Hence, the guests who had drunk a stomach full of tea and did not manage to eat anything could only take their leave. Not long later, the bustling Li Palace once again regained its tranquility. However, for some reason, the red gauze that was decorated with lanterns and colored banners seemed a little dim.
Because the Emperor did not summon Prince Ding and his wife into the palace, Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao, who had attended the wedding halfway, also left the Li Palace with the other guests. However, as soon as he stepped out of the Li Palace, he ran into Xu Qingchen, who he had not seen for a long time. Xu Qingchen had always been elusive. Even the members of the Xu family might not be able to see him whenever they wanted to. After Ye Li got married, she had only seen him once on the day she returned home. She was a little surprised to run into him now. After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three of them moved to Chu Xiang Pavilion to have a meal.
"What does Prince think about today's matter?" Xu Qingchen took a sip of the wine in his cup and softly praised: "Everyone says that Chu Xiang Pavilion's wine and food are the best in the capital. It really lives up to its reputation."
Ye Li lowered her head to eat while listening to the two's conversation. After the entire afternoon, she was really a little hungry.
"Brother Xu's information is indeed very fast." Mo Xiuyao praised. Xu Qingchen did not ask what had happened. Instead, he directly asked for Mo Xiuyao's opinion. This meant that he clearly knew what had happened in the Li Palace. Xu Qingchen acted as if he did not hear his words. He softly sighed and looked at Ye Li with a little sadness: "Li 'er, why is your husband unwilling to call me Big Brother?"
Ye Li's throat choked and she forced herself to swallow. She then raised her eyes to look at Mo Xiuyao and then looked at Xu Qingchen. The corner of her mouth could not help but twitch. Xu Qingchen was younger than Mo Xiuyao by three years. It would be strange if Mo Xiuyao was able to call him that. Moreover, even if Mo Xiuyao was able to call him that, he would still have to call Xu Qingze Second Brother and even Xu Qingbai Fourth Brother. Mo Xiuyao handed a bowl of soup to Ye Li. He watched her drink a mouthful before turning to Xu Qingchen with a faint smile: "Brother Xu, you're only Li 'Li's cousin."
Xu Qingchen smiled, "I don't mind if Prince calls me Eldest Cousin."
A sharp glint flashed across Mo Xiuyao's eyes as his lips curled up slightly. "Then, this king thinks that Brother Xu should still remember … this one was once indebted to Mr. Qingyun for guidance in his studies." And you are Master Qingyun's grandson. I am Master Qingyun's student. "Or perhaps I's grandmother seems to have the same surname as the First Madam of the Xu family." They were from the same family. In terms of age, they were two generations apart, but in terms of seniority, they were actually of the same generation.
Ye Li of course understood that Xu Qingchen did not have any intention of making things difficult for Mo Xiuyao. He was just joking. Ye Li took a handkerchief and lightly wiped the corner of her mouth. She smiled faintly: "Big Brother, when did you start caring about how you address people? If Prince really does address people the same way I do, wouldn't that make the most handsome man in the capital look old? "
Xu Qingchen calmly swept his gaze over Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li. He saw Mo Xiuyao's natural action of handing the soup to Ye Li and a trace of satisfaction appeared in his eyes. Hearing Ye Li's words, he pretended to be displeased and glared at her. He lightly sighed: "As expected, once you're married, you're siding with an outsider. Father and Second Uncle must be regretting agreeing to marry you off so early. "The only girl of this generation of the Xu family, ah. She had become someone else's. Ye Li's beautiful face flushed a faint red. She said: "Big Brother, did you come here just to squeeze me?"
Xu Qingchen shook his head. The smile on his face disappeared and he looked seriously at Mo Xiuyao. Mo Xiuyao pondered for a moment and said: "Does Brother Xu think that there's something wrong with today's matter?"
"Just now … Lei Tengfeng left the capital with Princess Lingyun." Xu Qingchen said, "They didn't even say goodbye to the Emperor before leaving."
Mo Xiuyao's left hand unconsciously groped for the warm jade at his waist. He frowned and said: "Today's matter must have been secretly manipulated by someone, but … it can't be Lei Tengfeng. The alliance with the Da Chu State was something that was decided long before he came to the Da Chu State. It's impossible for him to suddenly give it up. Unless … something unexpected happened. "
Ye Li frowned and asked: "Has Lei Tengfeng's power reached the point where he can act on his own accord in this kind of matter?" The marriage alliance between two countries was definitely not a small matter, even if both countries had bad intentions. But Lei Tengfeng could break the agreement just like that. Even if Mo Jingli was in the wrong first, if word got out now, Xiling would be in the wrong. Xu Qingchen smiled faintly and said: "It's not Lei Tengfeng who has this power. It's his father, Jhennam Of Gojoseon, who has this power. The Emperor Of Xiling is frail and sickly, and he only has a few princesses and a seven-year-old prince. Although Jhennam Of Gojoseon does not have the title of Regent in Xiling, he is the Regent in reality. "
"Then … is the marriage alliance with the Da Chu State the Emperor Of Xiling's idea or Jhennam Of Gojoseon's idea?" Mo Xiuyao asked.
Xu Qingchen shook his head. Xiling and the Da Chu State were old enemies. And the Xu family's information was not powerful enough to infiltrate the Emperor Of Xiling's palace. Mo Xiuyao nodded and said: "I will send someone to investigate."
Ye Li felt that these two men were thinking too far ahead. She raised her eyes and asked: "Who let Princess Xixia into the Li Palace?" No matter how familiar Princess Xixia was with King Li, no matter how normal it was for her to enter and leave the Li Palace. She was also a princess, right? A princess came to the Li Palace on the day of King Li's wedding, but the servants did not think to report to the master. This was very illogical.
Xu Qingchen and Mo Xiuyao were both startled. They stared thoughtfully and then exchanged a look. Xu Qingchen suddenly let out a low chuckle and sighed softly, "It seems that we have overlooked many things. These years, we are used to being free and unfettered. As expected, we are still not used to the capital … "Mo Xiuyao frowned slightly." Brother Xu is right. These years of seclusion, it seems that many changes have occurred in the capital that we are unaware of. I will send someone to investigate this matter. "
