Cheng Jiaxuan laughed and said, "How generous! Then I wish you your wish will come true soon. Why don't you teach me as well? I don't have the ambition to seize power, I just want … him … to appreciate me more. "
Lu Qian was about to ridicule him when he suddenly heard a soft voice outside the palace, "Look, who's here?" Then a child's voice called out happily, "Xiao Xuan, you're finally back!" Cheng Jiaxuan turned around and saw Shen Shiyun and her son standing at the door. As soon as the Xuan Shuang saw her, she immediately rushed over with a big laugh, grabbed her, and laughed and jumped, saying, "Xiao Xuan, why did you take so long to come back from your mission? I missed you so much! You idiot … Hey … Are you okay? "Cheng Jiaxuan laughed and said," I'm fine, Lord Baylor. Are you also okay? "
The Xuan Shuang said, "Not good, not good, I was bored to death. Sometimes when I talked with Master Tang, he also missed you very much! In the future, wherever you go, you must take me with you, okay? You're not allowed to leave me alone, this is this crown prince's order. "
Cheng Jiaxuan said happily, "What, you've been officially conferred the title of crown prince?" When the Xuan Shuang heard this, she was like a deflated balloon, immediately frowning and pouting, saying, "No, I don't understand what Emperor Ama is thinking, he's not even willing to issue an imperial edict. In fact, if we really want to talk about it, isn't it a matter of whether it's early or late? Why is he always dragging it out? In the Shen family's ancestral hall, he personally promised that he would confer me the title of crown prince as soon as I return to the palace, but now there's no movement! "
Shen Shiyun laughed and said, "That's why this queen said that before you've been officially conferred the title, it's better not to call yourself crown prince. If outsiders hear it, it'll be bad for you. Your Emperor Ama has too many things to do, once he's busy, he won't be able to take care of it. But this matter is in the bag. Which of the other brothers is more outstanding than you? "
Xuan Shuang muttered, "A long night brings many dreams, who knows what will happen in the future …" But his anger rose as quickly as it was released. He pulled Cheng Jiaxuan and said with a smile, "Whether I am the Crown Prince or not, I am still your master. Are you going to listen to me or not?"
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "I'm not going there for fun. The future Crown Prince is a precious person. If he were to bump into something outside, how would I be able to bear the responsibility? "
Xuan Shuang snorted and said, "'Bumping into something'? I'm not a kid, I don't even know how to walk. I want to see with my own eyes how our family's idiot Xiao Xuan defeats those martial arts experts. If you don't allow me to be your witness, I'll consider you bragging, lying, bragging, and dishonest! There's probably no such thing at all. You're just making it up. " Shen Shiyun said, "Xiao Xuan's deeds have already spread throughout the Jianghu. Rumor has it that the witch of the Devil Cult is committing murder everywhere, how can it be false?"
Lu Qian said, "Young Master Baylor, if you like to go out and play so much, there's no need to rush. When you become the Emperor in the future, you can go out in plain clothes. Not only will you gain the reputation of a good Emperor who wholeheartedly serves the people, but in reality you can go sightseeing, have fun to your heart's content. "
Xuan Shuang said, "I won't have fun! When the time comes, I'll be followed by a group of old masters and ministers, overcautious and cautious, more worried than your own father and mother. They always think you'll choke to death on water, or have your head smashed by a tree leaf. One moment 'Your Majesty, I can't do this', the next 'Your Majesty, let Wei Chen do that'; it's really noisy. "His words made several people laugh.
Cheng Jiaxuan laughed and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Who let you be the Emperor? They are also worried about you. "Xuan Shuang said," I don't care! I don't care! Don't use cliché words to block me. They are not worried about me, they are worried that they won't be able to keep the black gauze hat on their heads. "
Shen Shiyun said, "It's better to talk about this in private, you can't talk carelessly outside." Xuan Shuang said, "How could I not know? Isn't it just seeing people speak human language, seeing ghosts speak ghost speak ghost? Therefore, Er Niang, if you scold me in the future, you can't say that I am talking nonsense. "
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "Those people speak nonsense, it's all the same no matter what they say. Lord Baylor … "Xuan Shuang waved his hand and said," Don't stand on ceremony here. I am not tired of talking, but listening to it makes Ye tired. I have already told Er Niang that in the future I want to take you as my wife Fujin. You are my Grand Imperial Uncle's adopted daughter, your status can't be considered too low, you are barely worthy. When I become the Crown Prince, you will be the Crown Princess. When I become the Emperor, you will be the Empress … "Cheng Jiaxuan laughed and said," Nonsense, little demon, you don't know anything, yet you want to marry Fujin … "
Xuan Shuang said with a straight face, "Xiao Xuan, don't blame me for not reminding you. Right now you are a servant, I am the master. Even if I made a mistake, you shouldn't scold me, otherwise you will be disrespectful to His Highness, you will be punished. Unless you agree to be my wife, no one can criticize the young couple's flirting. "
Lu Qian was already clapping his hands in delight. He said with a laugh, "Good, this kid is smart enough, he also knows how to play mind games. Lord Baylor Ling, I know that you only have Xiao Xuan in your heart. When you grow up, you will definitely be a good man, although you will be a little bit inferior to me. " While smiling, he walked to Shen Shiyun's side and whispered, "Noble Consort Yun, I have something I want to talk to you about alone, it's about this mission …"
Shen Shiyun restrained her smile and said, "Xiao Xuan, take Xuan Shuang outside to play." Xuan Shuang hadn't seen Cheng Jiaxuan for several months in a row, he already had a bellyful of things to say to her, so he was happy to be alone with her. Without needing Shen Shiyun's urging, he took her hand and ran out. Lu Qian also followed, closed the door, and then turned to face Shen Shiyun.
Shen Shiyun smiled faintly and said, "If you have something to say to this Consort, there is no harm in saying it now. That's right, I haven't congratulated Lu Daren. Being able to escape unscathed from the ancient tomb is truly a blessing. Congratulations. "
Lu Qian nodded with a fake smile and said, "Noble Consort is too polite. No matter how great this humble one's contributions are, it can't compare to Noble Consort's strategizing in the palace. You can summon the wind and summon the rain while chatting, and you can control the fate of others. This is even more worthy of congratulations. "Shen Shiyun didn't bat an eyelid and returned a smile.
Lu Qian raised the secret manual in his hand and said, "This secret manual was given to me by Xiao Xuan just now. Now I am asking Noble Consort for instructions. Is there anything wrong with me taking it? "
Shen Shiyun frowned and said, "What secret manual? Before Xiao Xuan attacked the Huashan Sect, you repeatedly asked him to take the Devil Sect's secret manual? Of course, it's yours. Now you are taking it to return it to its rightful owner. Of course, who would have half a word of doubt? Lu Daren can feel at ease and accept it. "
Lu Qian smiled and said, "Worthy of being His Majesty's most beloved Noble Consort Yun, Noble Consort. You are indeed generous. You don't care about the spoils of war and give them away so easily. You are really not simple. To be able to treat the lives of hundreds and thousands of people as nothing, you are even more generous! "
Shen Shiyun completely ignored the thorns in his words and said indifferently, "Thinking back to when Lu Daren was Qingtian Zhaizhong, you killed people like scything flax and treated people's lives like grass. I'm afraid the number of people who died in your hands is more than hundreds and thousands, right? Now why are you pretending to be benevolent and making a fuss about nothing? For the sake of profit, hundreds and thousands of plans are made. What's the point of caring about other people's lives? On this point, Lu Daren and this consort should have the same view. "
Lu Qian sneered and said, "That's why I said Noble Consort's methods are brilliant. In the Hetuala Royal Tomb, as soon as the Life Demanding Strike appeared, you sent people to seal the path and release poisonous smoke. You wanted to take the opportunity to annihilate the righteous sects in one fell swoop. At the same time, you wanted to be the fisherman who reaped the benefits by taking the ancient treasured saber into your pocket. If this lowly servant didn't guess wrong, it was all part of Noble Consort's meticulous plan, right? "Shen Shiyun said boldly," That's right. So what if it was? "
Lu Qian sneered and said, "So what if it was? Humph, humph, so what if it was … "He walked to Shen Shiyun's side, one in front and one behind, standing shoulder to shoulder with her. He said in a low voice," Originally, I would never stand up for those righteous little dogs. But this plan of yours, you are planning to blackmail me as well — I'd like to hear your explanation on this point. "
Shen Shiyun said, "What explanation? Don't tell me you want this consort to apologize to you? It's very simple. I think with Lu Daren's ability, that little desperate situation wouldn't be able to trap you to death. Sure enough, you didn't disappoint this consort. You even came out unscathed and stood in front of me to report on your mission. If you had died in the ancient tomb, it would have been because of your incompetence. My Snow Song Palace doesn't raise useless people, much less trash. Survival of the fittest. This consort will take this opportunity to properly reorganize my subordinates. If those who aren't qualified to stay by my side die, then so be it. "
After hearing her words, Lu Qian immediately suppressed his bellyful of resentment. If he continued to argue with her, it would be akin to admitting that he was incompetent. It had to be said that Shen Shiyun's ability to win over people's hearts was indeed very strong. It was no wonder that even a proud and arrogant devil like An Yesun would willingly submit to her. He sighed and said, "That's right. Worthless things should be disposed of as soon as possible. There's no need to keep worthless people around. This lowly servant is a valuable person. Although that Li Yijie himself is worthless, his identity is not cheap. "
Shen Shiyun said, "That's right. You're indeed a smart person. It's good that you've thought this through."
Lu Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Then what about An Yesun? What's the matter with him? "
Shen Shiyun said, "An Yesun was originally destined to be a sacrificial lamb. Back then, this consort was willing to take him in, give him an official position, serve him with good food and drink, and even give him special treatment. Why do you think that was? Did I really value his talents? This consort wants to recruit capable people with lofty ideals. Is there still a vacancy? Letting him die was part of my plan. Now, it seems that everything is going according to my plan. It's perfect. "
Lu Qian could only smile bitterly and said, "It seems that following you is really a dangerous job. Who knows when I'll be treated as a sacrificial lamb and 'snapped'? You dared to treat An Yesun like this. Aren't you afraid that the devil Jiang Liechen will find trouble with you? That's his closest brother. "
Shen Shiyun laughed coldly and said, "When has this consort ever been afraid of anyone? If he doesn't find trouble with me, I'll find trouble with him. It's a pity that I can't find his shadow. If I can use this method to lure the snake out of its hole, it can't be considered an unexpected surprise. "
Lu Qian laughed bitterly again and again. After a while, he said, "Fine, but don't drag me into this. This lowly one has never lost respect for the Cruel Fiend Star daren …" Shen Shiyun said, "Look at you. What's there to be afraid of? "
Lu Qian laughed dryly and said, "Let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it. There's something I still need to tell you. Don't think that just because you've tied Li Yijie down, you'll be able to sit back and relax. In my opinion, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep his position as the Alliance Leader very soon. "Shen Shiyun was also startled and said," What do you mean? "
Lu Qian said, "What? When Cao daren and the others returned to the Palace to report, they didn't tell you? Ay, presumably they are afraid of taking responsibility. This is human nature. Li Yijie's position is not very secure to begin with. You know, he doesn't do things well enough, he relies entirely on us to support him from behind. Those Wulin people are very astute, more astute than monkeys. They have long been dissatisfied with his puppet position as the Alliance Leader. But for the time being, they didn't have a more suitable candidate, so they had no choice but to make the best of it. But recently it's different. When I was in the Hall of the Dead in the royal tomb, I was just about to retrieve the Demanding Life Strike. Who would have thought that halfway there, someone came to interrupt me? It was that fellow. His name is Yuan Yi. He spoke clearly and logically. He solved the riddle of Prince Zhuang's last words and personally retrieved the Demanding Life Strike. At that time, it was an awe-inspiring scene. Later on, when you sealed the tomb and released the poison, it was also because of his courage and wisdom that he saved … "
Suddenly he remembered that Shen Shiyun did not know the details of how he managed to escape from danger. Cao Zhenyan and the others would not tell him the details either. If he took the initiative to deliver himself to her door and told her the truth, that he was just a little burden who relied on others to save him, that he had no talent at all, his value in Shen Shiyun's heart would plummet.
