Shangguan Yaohua fiercely flung his sleeves and said angrily, "Put away that miserable face of yours! Just looking at it makes me annoyed! You've already become my biggest burden! Stinky girl, do you really not know, or are you just playing dumb? That foster father of mine … Prince Fu, he won't let you off easily. Recently, he's been trying to get hold of your background, and even sent me to investigate. I've already helped you hide a lot of things. If the truth is revealed that he wants to use this opportunity to deal with the Prince Regent, he'll definitely make a big fuss about it. When that time comes, you'll become the sacrificial lamb of this conspiracy! You're still too young, too naive, too childish. You don't know anything about the dark ups and downs of officialdom! You only know how to dream all day long … "
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "Experience is accumulated bit by bit! If I don't know, are you going to be proficient? Since we're already involved, we should be in the same boat. You shouldn't push me away and face those big waves yourself … "Shangguan Yaohua angrily said," Don't try to be smart! It wasn't easy for me to get the power and status I have today. As long as you don't make trouble for me, I'll thank the heavens and earth! … "
Both of them suddenly stopped talking at the same time and looked in front of them, dumbstruck. They saw Jiang Liechen standing in front of them with his back against the wall. He was still dressed as usual, and no matter what, he always looked like a noble. He slowly straightened his body, and his cold gaze fell on Shangguan Yaohua's face. Only then did he reveal a smile. He said, "Little Prince, you've really come late? I've been waiting for you here for a long time. You dared to make me wait, you've got guts. If it were someone else, I'd have lost my patience long ago. "
Shangguan Yaohua was full of anger. He snorted coldly and said, "Why did you wait for me? I don't remember having any agreement with a devil like you. Even if I made you wait for a long time, you reap what you sow! Why are you shouting injustice and complaining to me? "Cheng Jiaxuan pulled his sleeve. She always hoped that the two of them could get along harmoniously with each other, whom she admired at the same time.
Jiang Liechen said, "It seems you have a bad memory. Didn't we agree a few days ago that I would give you the Afterimage Sword? I've specially brought it here. Don't tell me you don't want it? "After he finished speaking, he pulled out a sword from his side and swung his arm. Shangguan Yaohua couldn't help but take a step back under the pressure of the sword qi. The Afterimage Sword was nailed in front of him, not even swaying.
Cheng Jiaxuan was the clearest about this; he happily said, "It's really the Afterimage Sword! Yao Hua -gege, I've used this sword before, and the effects are amazing! You … I really envy you! "He didn't know if he was envious that he could obtain the Afterimage Sword or that he could make Jiang Liechen treat him differently. He hadn't seen this sword for a long time, and when he saw it at this moment, his heart instantly surged with sourness. He stretched out his trembling hand and lightly stroked the few sparkling and translucent emerald diamonds that were inlaid on the sword hilt.
Shangguan Yaohua frowned and slapped her hand away. He said in a low voice, "Don't move!" He was still worried that she would be injured by the invisible sword aura. Then he turned to Jiang Liechen and said, "At least you keep your word! This Afterimage Sword, it's a waste not to take it. Do you think I care about it? So what if it's the best sword in the world? "
Cheng Jiaxuan anxiously said, "Yao Hua -gege …" Shangguan Yaohua took this opportunity to say, "Xiao Xuan, as long as you're not afraid of getting into trouble, I'll give this sword to you. Hey, Seven Demons King, the Afterimage Sword is now mine. I have the right to give it to someone else, right? "
Jiang Liechen knew that he was deliberately provoking him, but he did not get angry. He said, "You're always unwilling to accept my good intentions. Fine, since I said I'll give it to you, naturally you can use it. I just feel that the Afterimage Sword is not worth it. " He changed the topic and said, "Looks like the Little Prince is in a good mood. You came to meet me, and you even brought your lover?"
Shangguan Yaohua coldly snorted, "Don't talk nonsense! You should remember that this girl used to pester you all day long. Now she's pestering me again! I don't even want to bother with her. She's just a follower. You can't chase her away even if you beat or scold her. "
Jiang Liechen was secretly amused. He glanced at Cheng Jiaxuan and said, "Hmm? You've changed your mind? Congratulations, you're very wise. Yao Hua is much better than me. "Shangguan Yaohua glared at him and said," You still dare to be sarcastic? "
Cheng Jiaxuan could no longer hold back and stepped forward to explain. He was afraid that he would not be able to explain himself clearly, so he repeatedly gestured and said, "No, listen to me! He … he's my older brother. I only have feelings for him as a brother and sister. But all this time, the one I love the most is still you! You're the only one … "
Jiang Liechen coldly said, "Hmph, shameless! Get lost! " He kicked Cheng Jiaxuan to the ground and tugged at Shangguan Yaohua, saying, "Yao Hua, did you see that? There's no need to show any mercy to a slut like her. Let's go. "Seeing that Shangguan Yaohua was still standing there, he said impatiently," Let's go! What are you still standing there for? "
Cheng Jiaxuan fell to the ground and tears immediately flowed down his cheeks. He gently pressed a hand to his chest. Regardless of whether it was an external injury or heartache, the pain was suffocating. His palm was covered in mud. When he pressed it to his chest, his clothes were immediately stained with dirt. When he raised his hand to fiddle with his bangs, his face was stained with dirt. At a glance, he looked extremely pitiful. Shangguan Yaohua was still worried. He walked forward and stretched out a hand. His face was still stern as he said, "Get up."
Cheng Jiaxuan was instantly overwhelmed by this favor. Trembling with fear, he stuffed his hand into Shangguan Yaohua's palm and staggered to his feet. The pain in his chest had yet to subside. It was as if a heavy rock was pressing down on him. His vision blurred and he swayed slightly. Shangguan Yaohua saw this and said unhappily, "You're always like this. You don't know how to take care of yourself. " Seeing that she was still holding up her handkerchief and not knowing what to do, he directly snatched it away and wiped her face with it. Only then did he manage to wipe the dirt off.
Jiang Liechen watched silently from the side. At this moment, he sneered, "I couldn't tell that the Little Prince was so compassionate. He really knows how to take care of people. But it's not worth it to be so nice to this slut, right? "
Shangguan Yaohua's heart was burning with anger. In the past, when he didn't know that she was his younger sister, no matter how much she was beaten and scolded, he didn't pity her at all. Instead, he felt that she deserved to be humiliated again and again. But now, his views had changed. Seeing that she was willing to be abused, he empathized with her. He was even angrier than when he was the one being humiliated. He said loudly, "What do you know? She's the Regent's adopted daughter. We can't offend her! "
Jiang Liechen raised his eyelids and said, "Oh? Is it difficult for the Little Prince to be so considerate of the big picture? "His words made it clear that he didn't believe him. Shangguan Yaohua snorted coldly, "It's only right."
Cheng Jiaxuan's greatest characteristic was that he would never back down when facing Jiang Liechen. Seeing that he seemed to be in a better mood, she hurried forward and said, "This is all my fault. I … I've let you down. Is it because I've been too proactive and always wanted to pester you, so … I scared you? "Dorgon had said this to her before. Now, she could borrow it.
Jiang Liechen's expression turned gloomy. He said, "What did you say? You scared me? A slut like you doesn't deserve … "Before he could finish his sentence, he had already slapped her. Shangguan Yaohua raised his hand to stop him and shouted, "Don't hit her! Listen to her! If you still want to work with me, then do as I say! "
Jiang Liechen's gaze shifted between the two of them. In the end, he put down his hand. He turned around and said, "Okay, okay. If you have something to say, say it quickly." But he didn't even want to stand face to face with Cheng Jiaxuan.
When Cheng Jiaxuan heard his words, he felt as if he had been pardoned. He hurriedly said, "I … I just wanted to talk business with you. My adoptive father wanted me to pass on a message. He said that he admires the two of you very much. If the two of you are willing to help … if you have time, it would be best if you could make a trip to my residence … to talk about it in detail. " He stammered and finally managed to express his intentions clearly. Then, he opened his eyes wide and waited for the two of them to reply.
Shangguan Yaohua had been looking forward to currying favor with Dorgon for a long time. Last time at the Prince's residence, he had missed a good opportunity and had been upset about it for many days. This time, it was exactly what he wanted. Naturally, he agreed readily. He said happily, "The Prince Regent admires me very much? That … is also my honor, isn't it? When did the Prince say it would be? "
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "As long as the two of you have the intention to work together, no matter when … is fine." Shangguan Yaohua repeatedly said, "Good! Good! I'll have to trouble you to tell the Prince that I will definitely be there when the time comes! "He pulled Jiang Liechen and said," Hey, why don't you come with me? "
Jiang Liechen's face was stiff and cold. He said, "If you want to go, go by yourself." Without waiting for Cheng Jiaxuan to open his mouth to beg, Shangguan Yaohua flew into a rage and said, "Are you going or not? Otherwise, don't talk about working with me! "
Jiang Liechen's expression changed a few times. In the end, he took a step back and said, "Let's just say that I'm afraid of you, alright? It's not a mountain of daggers or a sea of flames. Why can't I go? So you agree to work with me? "Shangguan Yaohua coldly snorted," That depends on what you do. It also depends on my mood! "
Jiang Liechen sneered and said, "Forget it. In any case, your demands won't end until you force me to compromise. I have some things that I want to talk to you about in private. Come here. "Shangguan Yaohua said," What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not a dog that you can summon at your beck and call. "
Jiang Liechen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He directly put his arm around Shangguan Yaohua's shoulder and pushed him through a few corners before finally stopping. Shangguan Yaohua immediately said, "Why do you have so much to say? You come looking for me every two or three days. It's so annoying. If you have anything else to say, just say it all at once! "
Jiang Liechen didn't get angry. He said, "I want to ask you something. Have there been any abnormalities in the Palace recently?" Shangguan Yaohua said, "Why should I tell you? If you want to know, go investigate yourself! Isn't it the same old? What's new? Do you want to hear about a rooster laying eggs, or a sow climbing a tree? "
Jiang Liechen said, "You know who I want to ask." Shangguan Yaohua said, "What a joke. I'm not a roundworm in your stomach. How would I know?" Actually, Jiang Liechen wanted to ask about the dispirited Wulin Alliance Head, Li Yijie, as well as his new enemy, Shen Shiyun. Shangguan Yaohua didn't want to open his mouth, so he had no choice but to take the initiative to start a conversation. He said, "I heard that a few days ago Noble Consort Yun was attacked by an assassin at the Snow Song Palace. In order to save her, you got injured? What happened? "
Shangguan Yaohua said, "You're very well-informed! Thanks to you, I won't die yet! That dagger happened to stab the jade pendant. "Jiang Liechen said," Otherwise, you won't die, right? You just shed some blood to please her. It can be considered another kind of hero saving a beauty. "
Shangguan Yaohua looked up and stared at him. It was quite a while before he said, "Alright, you're right. That assassination was actually arranged by Prince Fu. He didn't even think about why I would risk my life to save Noble Consort Yun. How could she believe it? That woman is unfathomable. I think this time he tried to be clever but ended up making a fool of himself. But it doesn't matter. In any case, I won't spend the rest of my life on him! "
Jiang Liechen said, "Just to please her, I will sacrifice you?" Shangguan Yaohua said, "So what? In any case, living under someone else's roof is a very bitter life. I don't need you to fight against injustice for me! You have already investigated this matter thoroughly. If you just want to say a few words of sympathy for me, I don't want to accept it. I'll let you finish your sentence. Please go back. "
Jiang Liechen said, "What's the hurry? Naturally I have something to show you. " From his sleeve he took out two sheets of paper, old and new. The former was faintly yellowed, the latter was relatively clean and flat. Shangguan Yaohua said, "What is it? Unfold it and then give it to me. "
Jiang Liechen casually shook his hand and flattened the two sheets of paper. The first sheet of paper was a splash of ink, a voluminous scroll with Cheng Jiahua's name at the end. The other sheet of paper had exactly the same content, at the end was' Cheng Wang Shangguan Yaohua '.
As soon as Shangguan Yaohua saw it, he was shocked; immediately he snatched it and turned it over and over to study it carefully. The first sheet of paper was from his childhood, when he was living in the Chen Mansion. One time he had a quarrel with Xiangxiang, and then he drank himself to death at home. Coincidentally there was a set of four treasures of the study on the table in front of him. Taking advantage of his drunkenness, he picked up a brush and wrote a poem.
When he sobered up and looked at it again, regardless of whether it was the majestic mood, the bold and unconstrained words, even the rhyme was almost perfect. The second half of the book was graceful and graceful. It also vividly described the various situations of a sad person. He always felt that this poem had reached the peak of his life, and in the future he would never be able to surpass it. Furthermore, not long after he got back together with Xiangxiang, she was full of praise for it, which increased his love for this poem even more.
This manuscript had been lost for a long time. Later on in the Prince Fu's mansion, he took care of official business alone until late at night. He was tired and sleepy, he leaned on the table to take a nap, but his whole body still felt sore and weak. He looked at the document again, each small character was swaying in front of him. He really didn't have the heart to do it again, so he spread out paper and ground the ink, and wrote down the poem from his memory. After he signed his name, he felt a kind of gratified pleasure.
He didn't know how these two pieces of paper ended up in Jiang Liechen's hands. He didn't understand why he was showing them to him. But based on his style, he most likely wanted to blackmail him. He impatiently waited for him to state his conditions.
Jiang Liechen indifferently said, "Do you recognize them? These two are authentic, right? "Shangguan Yaohua said," Nonsense. This Prince's calligraphy is self-contained, even if you want to copy it, it's not something an ignorant and incompetent person like you can do! "
Jiang Liechen laughed coldly and said, "You say this Prince is ignorant and incompetent? Ha, humph. "Then he explained," It's precisely because it's self-contained that it's really troublesome. Everyone should be able to tell the time of writing on these two pieces of calligraphy, right? Since it was written by the Young Master of the Cheng family in the past, how would you know? If you say it's a copy from a scroll, from the handwriting you can determine that it was written by the same person. Why would you bother to sign your name separately? Are you worried that other people won't know about your meteoric rise? "
Shangguan Yaohua's hands trembled as he held the paper. He forced himself to speak and said, "Why do you have this kind of thing?" Jiang Liechen said, "What's so strange about that? Didn't Prince Fu also want it? This Prince was just one step faster than them. "
Shangguan Yaohua gritted his teeth, but when he thought about how he was under someone else's roof, he had no choice but to lower his head. In the end, he compromised and said, "Fine, tell me, what do I have to do to make you give it to me? What do you want in return? "Jiang Liechen said," Didn't I already give it to you? There's only one copy. You also know that if this kind of thing is copied from another copy, it's completely meaningless. This Prince treats you as a friend, so even if I help you a little, what do you want in return? "
