"Like I said, Junwei is treating me like an outsider." Han Mingxi sighed helplessly.
Ye Li smiled faintly and lowered her head without saying a word. She wondered if she needed Princess Anxi's help.
In the sparkling light of the pearls, the heavy stone door was opened. The woman in the golden dress was no longer as leisurely as she used to be. Her messy footsteps seemed to contain great anger. "Xu Qingchen!"
Xu Qingchen, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and looked back at the woman who came in a hurry. He frowned and said, "What's wrong?" The woman seemed to be furious. She swept all the celadon teacups on the table to the ground with a wave of her sleeve. The sound of the teacups breaking was crisp and pleasant. "Speak! How did they know you were here?! "Xu Qingchen shook his head and said faintly," I can't even get out of the door. How could I know this? What's wrong? Did someone make trouble for you? "
"How could you not know?! You must have spread the news. Tell me, what did you do? "The woman tried to control her anger and asked.
Xu Qingchen shook his head and sighed. "You think too highly of me. I'm just a weak and helpless scholar, not a hidden expert. If you have time to think about this, why don't you think about who you have offended recently? "The woman snorted and said," How could I offend anyone? Besides Anxi, the only person I have offended in my life … Haha, it seems to be your delicate fiancée. "
"I told you not to touch her." Xu Qingchen said in a low voice.
The woman sneered, "Don't worry. Your precious fiancée is fine. But … it doesn't mean she will be fine in the future. Last time, I just wanted to scare her. Speaking of which … it seems that her bodyguards are good. "Xu Qingchen didn't care." Are you talking about her bodyguards? The daughters of the Central Plains always have a few bodyguards when they go out. It's not a big deal. "
"You trust her. Why don't we continue to see if her bodyguards can protect her? Who knows, maybe they'll fall in love with each other. Don't girls love to play the hero and save the beauty? "
Xu Qingchen glanced at her. "If you have the time, why don't you tell me what happened to make you so angry?"
At the mention of this matter, the woman's face, hidden under the mask, could not help but twist. She said with hatred, "Someone threw the bodies of those assassins outside the Saint Lady Temple!"
Xu Qingchen was a little surprised, but she soon relaxed her brows. "Even so, it's not a big deal. Just leave it to the Nanzhao royal family or the authorities to deal with it. "
"How can this be?!" The woman cried out, "Don't tell me you don't know. If someone knows that a body has been dumped in the Temple of the Saint Lady, Anxi will definitely take the opportunity to search the Temple of the Saint Lady. Humph! Don't think that I don't know that she has long wanted to reach into the Saint Lady's Hall. But she's not qualified! " Xu Qingchen reached for a book and opened it. She said, "You haven't told me yet. If people know that the corpse was found in the Saint Lady's Temple, the people of Nanzhao will doubt the sanctity of the Saint Lady of Nanjiang. Most importantly, if you had another year or two, you could have pushed this matter to the Da Chu State or West-Hill. But now … you're not even ready to go to war with the Da Chu State. "
The woman's eyes darkened. She stared at him gloomily and said in a low voice, "You know too much. Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"
Xu Qingchen nodded slightly. "Because you want to know more from me, don't you?"
"That's right!" The woman admitted directly. "If you hadn't secretly helped Anxi, she wouldn't have been able to defeat me. Since you can help her, you can help me, can't you? "
Xu Qingchen shook his head. "I won't help you."
"I'll make sure you're willing!" The woman sneered. Xu Qingchen put down the book again and looked at her with pity. "You're not suitable for this at all. None of the previous Saints of Nanjiang are suitable. Even if you're smarter than them, you're still not as good as Princess Anxi when it comes to governing a country. "A trace of anger flashed in the woman's eyes. She said coldly," Who says I'm not suitable? You admit that I'm smarter than Anxi, don't you? "
"You're just better at scheming than her. But a country can't be governed by scheming. What's more … you can't even do scheming. "
"So what? At least you're in my hands now, aren't you? "The woman said proudly. Xu Qingchen smiled and said nothing. Looking at Xu Qingchen's calm face, the woman suddenly felt very angry. She said with hatred, "You're looking down on me!" Xu Qingchen frowned. "I'm not looking down on you. I just don't agree with what you're doing now."
"I know! You're looking down on me! "The woman screamed." What do you know? Do you know what kind of life Anxi has lived since she was a child? What kind of life I've lived since I was a child? Why? Why is she born as the Crown Princess and the Crown Princess? Why does everything belong to her? "
"You're the Saint of Nanjiang. You're also respected by tens of thousands of people," Xu Qingchen said.
"Haha … respected by tens of thousands of people? I haven't seen my mother since I was three years old. I've been alone since I was five years old. He was not allowed to talk to the maids, not allowed to go out to play, not allowed to cry, not allowed to see outsiders, and not even allowed to be tempted. When I'm twenty-eight, I still have to go to that damn holy land. Who wants to go to that damn place? Nanzhao is mine. Everything is mine! "The woman screamed as if she had suddenly broken down.
Xu Qingchen shook his head. "The life of the Saint of Nanjiang is indeed very pitiful. But I don't think that includes you. No one has ever restricted your actions, right? Otherwise, how could you have the chance to meet King Li and become enemies with Princess Anxi? Even … the new Saint of Nanjiang had already appeared two years ago. You just killed her. The Saint of Nanjiang can be twenty-eight years old at the latest. But in fact, most Saint of Nanjiang abdicate before twenty-five. "
"Anxi even told you this?!" The woman stared at him. "It seems that she really trusts you."
"I'm friends with Princess Anxi."
"Hmph!" The breakdown just now seemed to be an illusion. Or it could be called acting. The woman regained her elegance in a moment. "Good friend. I'll send the heads of your friends and your fiancée to you. "With that, the woman flicked her sleeves and left.
Xu Qingchen frowned as he watched the stone door close again. The Saint of Nanjiang was gradually losing her mind. As long as everything went according to the plan he and Princess Anxi had discussed in the past six months, they would definitely be able to take down the Saint of Nanjiang and King Li's forces in Nanjiang without shedding a drop of blood. So now was the time to think about how to escape. Since he had achieved his goal beyond his expectations, there was no point in staying here any longer. And the later it would be, the more dangerous it would be.
The stone door was pushed open from the outside again. Xu Qingchen said indifferently, "Miss, is there anything else?"
"Miss, it's nothing. Brother Qingchen, it's me …" There was a crisp laughter at the door. Xu Qingchen was startled and quickly turned to look at the door. Beside the half-opened stone door, a pretty girl in a light yellow dress was looking at him with a smile. "Li 'er …" Ye Li stepped forward and looked around the stone room with a smile, "Big Brother, it seems that you're doing well here." Xu Qingchen looked at her with a smile and said, "Li' er, why are you here?" Ye Li winked at him and pointed at the half-open stone door. She smiled and said, "Come and welcome Master Qingchen."
