These ambiguous words indeed intimidated Prince Fu; he repeatedly said, "I won't, I won't." Only then did Xuan Shuang laugh in satisfaction; he leaned back and put his hands behind his head. From then on, until the sedan chair reached the Prince's mansion, they did not say anything.
How could Xuan Shuang suddenly trust Prince Fu? This was one of his plans. Actually, he did not need to say anything, he was very clear about this old fox's intention. Anyone who values power and position highly, who would seize any opportunity to climb up the ladder, their ambition was as deep as the ocean. No matter how many people 'above ten thousand people', it was just a decoration. As long as he was still 'under one person', no amount of power could satisfy him.
But among the three powers in the imperial court, to say that Prince Fu had equal share of the limelight was obviously too flattering. On the surface, he appeared to be a great general with military power, but in a real contest, he fell far behind. If he did not have a collaborator, he would not be able to stir up any big storm.
Only by strengthening Xuan Shuang's belief in usurping the throne, believing that based on his ability, he would be able to accomplish great things. When he had more or less paved the way, he would kick Xuan Shuang aside and become the Emperor himself. Therefore, in front of the Emperor, he repeatedly changed sides, in order to prevent Xuan Shuang from becoming the Crown Prince, so he had no choice but to resort to rebellion.
But earlier he only said a part, and then he stopped. Even if he could not completely intimidate Xuan Shuang, he could at least scare him a little bit. This move had to be controlled properly. Anybody who has done something wrong and was exposed, his first thought was to quibble. Seeing that it was really difficult to persuade the other side, and that if he stayed any longer, he would be a threat to himself, so he had no choice but to kill him. After hearing the explanation, Xuan Shuang immediately pretended to be 'persuaded', and at the same time pretended to be sincere in cooperating with him. This way, not only he could save his own life, he could also make Xuan Shuang somewhat afraid of him in the future.
If he always played the role of a fool, it was not the same thing. Besides, he could only be a pawn, and would not be able to obtain any useful information. This way, amidst the other side's fear, there would be a layer of respect. Thinking that he was able to manipulate Prince Fu as he wished, his heart was filled with boundless joy.
The sedan chair swayed all the way, and soon they arrived at Prince Fu's residence. The Xuan Shuang was the first to jump down from the sedan chair. He waited for the Prince Fu to slowly tidy up his attire, and then they entered together. On the way, the Xuan Shuang repeatedly exclaimed in admiration, "Prince Fu, your house is really big!"
Prince Fu laughed and said, "This is not the first time that the Lord Baylor has come to this prince's residence, why are you sighing?"
Xuan Shuang smiled and said, "You can see different sceneries if you take different paths. That's why it's big enough. Every time I come here, I give my praise, but it's all on the spur of the moment, I won't say it all at once. "While he was looking around, he laughed and said," There are some things that you can't get tired of saying. This courtyard was indeed beautiful and elegant. It could be said that nothing could be more beautiful than this. If I could live in such a beautiful courtyard, even if it was only as a gardener, I would gladly go. "
Prince Fu laughed and said, "Childish! What are you talking about? When you become the Emperor in the future, the entire Forbidden City will be yours. When the time comes, you won't care about my simple and crude residence. "" That's not necessarily true, "the Xuan Shuang said," Everyone has their own preferences. If the house is big without scenery, it's better to live in a humble and harmonious house. Why don't the two of us make an exchange? I'll give you the Imperial Palace's courtyard, and you'll give me this Prince's mansion in exchange? "Prince Fu could not figure out his intention, he could only smile without replying.
The Xuan Shuang did not pay him any attention, he said, "I was just joking. How can this kind of matter be that easy? You see, the Emperor's family is always helpless. When you become the Emperor, you won't even be able to decide where you want to live. But … this Prince's mansion is very unusual. Just based on a Prince's monthly salary, you won't be able to afford it … Hee hee, Prince is very talented, you must have secretly made a lot of maneuvers. No wonder you came to visit me when I was sick, your gift was also very expensive, and you didn't feel the least bit of heartache. Hee hee, I wonder how you make money? Tell me, we'll get rich together! "
His meaning was not only that he was stuffing his own pockets, he was also implying that he had colluded with other people and received a lot of benefits. Prince Fu did not know how to explain, but he also did not know how to explain. Silently he quickened his steps and walked forward quickly. The Xuan Shuang wanted to follow, but he had to jog along.
When they reached a building, Prince Fu pointed inside and said, "This is it." Then he walked in with the Xuan Shuang. As soon as they entered the door, they saw the floor was in a mess, the floor was littered with broken porcelain, the table and chairs were overturned to the east and the west. Several neatly mounted paintings on the wall were also in a complete mess, the paper was torn to shreds and turned into several crumpled little balls of paper, which were thrown everywhere.
The Shangguan Yaohua was still standing by a wet tea stain. Ever since Jiang Liechen left, his heart had been filled with resentment, and he had wantonly destroyed everything in the room. This lump of anger was stuck in the pit of his stomach, but all along he had not been able to extinguish it. Rather than hatred towards the Seven Malefic Demons, it would be better to say that it was the embarrassment and fear when his identity was completely exposed, and the annoyance of being threatened by the people he had always loathed. The two were mixed together, and it was especially unstoppable.
Hearing the door was pushed open, he angrily turned his head around, his eyes were almost spitting fire, he spat out a knife and shouted, "You still dare …" He had only cursed three words when he saw the person in front of him clearly. He had committed a great crime of disrespect. Hastily he stepped forward to salute, and timidly called out, "Yifu …" Cowering, he raised his gaze and evasively looked at him.
Seeing the miserable state of the mansion, Prince Fu was so angry that his face was covered with dark clouds. "Preposterous!" He said, "What is going on? How long has it been since benwang entered the Palace to see the Emperor? You are making a ruckus at home, are you trying to tear down the house? When did benwang treat you unfairly that you have to throw a tantrum like this? Is it your right to throw a tantrum? What is this? Are you trying to show off your power to me? Why are you smashing things without rhyme or reason? If you are dissatisfied, you might as well pack your things and get out of here! "
Shangguan Yaohua's face was full of shame. "Yifu," he said, "Child was impulsive … the broken objects, put it all on my head, I will compensate you."
Prince Fu angrily said, "Benwang provides you with food, clothes, and shelter. The money you use is all taken from the account house every month; isn't that still benwang's money? How are you going to compensate me? Last night you went out to carry out a mission, I don't know when you sneaked back in? Are you getting smarter? Aren't you? The Lord Baylor Ling was really attacked by an evil spirit several days ago, but he only harmed himself; his problem is much lighter than yours. He came to see you with good intentions, and you showed him this monstrous appearance? "
In front of the Emperor, his well-thought-out plan failed at the last step. Later on, he did not know how many times he was rebuffed by the Xuan Shuang. Based on his temperament, he was already mad with anger, but relying on the little bit of self-restraint he had left, he endured it. Finally he saw that the Prince's mansion was in a mess, and the culprit was this unlucky son of his, Shangguan Yaohua. He also thought that his own background had been completely dug up by other people, and only he was sent to investigate Cheng Jiaxuan's past, but all along he did not receive any good news. His patience had reached its limit, and finally he found a punching bag to vent his anger on. It was an unprecedented loss of self-control.
Xuan Shuang, who was standing on the side, was also affected quite a bit. Normally, even if people were angry, they would take into account that there were outsiders nearby, and they would restrain themselves a little. But right now Prince Fu dared to fly into a rage in front of him. Did he not regard him as an outsider, or did he simply not put him in his eyes?
Seeing Shangguan Yaohua was scolded like a grandson, but still did not dare to retort, looking pitiful and miserable, he had no choice but to step forward to mediate the situation, "Wangye, anger is harmful to the body, please calm down first. Who hasn't had a slip of the hand? Who hasn't had a moment of anger? Weren't you also angry just now? When you are angry, you should slowly calm down, and not vent your anger on other people. This is the magnanimity and magnanimity that a member of the Imperial Family should have. If the Emperor Ah Ma was angry, he would go to the common people and kill several people, won't the world fall into chaos? As a father, he should be concerned about his son, and truly understand his thoughts. Even if he really did accidentally break a teacup, how much is a teacup worth? How could the grand Prince Fu's mansion be afraid of losing a teacup? Besides, could it be that as Wangye's adopted son, he is not worth as much as a teacup? Xiao Zhi is only thinking for Wangye's sake. Seeing that my mouth is dry from talking, please forgive him. If worse comes to worst, I will compensate you for these teacups. "
While saying that, he walked to the side and picked up the tables and chairs that had fallen to the ground. He took the opportunity to teach him, "When doing things, you should focus on what can still be salvaged. If you cling on to something that has already been damaged, it will not be able to recover by itself."
Prince Fu's face alternated between green and white. "Lord Baylor Ling," he said, "Don't move. This unfilial son created this mess himself, tell him to clean it up himself! You are ben wang's honored guest, letting you see this joke is already wrong, how can I ask you to pay for it? " Xuan Shuang laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. But I know that Wangye is' always' busy with official business, we won't delay any longer. You should quickly go and do your business. I will stay here and chat with His Highness Prince Cheng. "
Seeing this situation, Prince Fu really did not want to stay any longer. "All right," he said, "You can chat, ben wang will give you this place." While saying that, he turned to Shangguan Yaohua and shouted, "Look at him, he is so young, but he is so sensible! You unfilial son, you are only a few years older than him, but you have practically lived like a dog! "While saying that, he flung his sleeve and angrily left.
Shangguan Yaohua clenched his fists so hard that they made cracking sounds. "What … what's so great about him?" He said, "He is just like that scoundrel! Even he has to be polite to me … "While cursing and swearing, he pulled a chair and sat down.
Xuan Shuang sat down on the table closest to him. "Lower your voice," he said with a laugh, "If he hears you, he will talk about filial piety again. You can endure it, but I can't. "His legs swayed back and forth, lightly kicking the back of the chair in front of him. "Just now I helped you out of your predicament," he said, "You are not going to thank me? What, are you not happy to see me? "
Shangguan Yaohua looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Lord Baylor Ling?" he asked with a frown. "You … you are normal?"
Xuan Shuang was angry and amused at the same time. "When have I not been normal?" he said. "A few days ago I deliberately pretended to be crazy, to probe my Empress Ah Ma's intentions. How was it? My pretense was quite successful, right? Everyone was fooled by me, they all thought I was really possessed. "
Shangguan Yaohua humphed and said, "Don't be too complacent. What do you mean by fooling everyone? I think most people don't believe it. What other superfluous methods of exorcism, I saw it all. In the end, you actually said, 'If you don't become the Crown Prince, you will be in conflict with the feng shui of your residence.' What nonsense! Everyone is treating you like a clown, only you don't know. I say, you are really smart your whole life, but stupid this time! "
Xuan Shuang smiled lazily and said, "Hey, hey, you are angry with your adoptive father, don't take it out on me. That wasn't my fault, it was all the Royal Regent's doing. I am completely innocent. Sigh, I just returned to Snow Song Palace, but I hurriedly found an excuse to come see you. You really don't give me any face. However, it's good that you are fine. I have been worried since a few days ago, afraid that the Seven Fiends Demons would do something to you … "At this time, he realized that he had spoken too quickly and hurriedly tried to cover it up.
