Hearing this, Chu Xuanchen faintly raised his eyebrows. He absent-mindedly took a sip of tea and said, "Crown Prince is far away in another country, but you know our country's affairs like the back of your hand. Crown Prince really cares about Chu."
Dongfang Wuxiang revealed a particularly sincere smile. "This consort doesn't care about Chu, but about Prince. The Emperor of Li, once Nalan Meng and Prince Xian become a perfect pair, Hongyuan Emperor will definitely make Prince Xian the Crown Prince. Once Prince Xian becomes the Crown Prince, I'm afraid you won't have a good life! "
"Rather than watching your opponent become stronger, why don't you cooperate with this consort? If you cooperate with this consort to stop this marriage and overthrow Prince Xian, you can first weaken Prince Xian's power, and second, this consort can take back Menger. And this consort can also give Prince many conveniences that you can't imagine. "
Chu Xuanchen looked at Dongfang Wuxiang with a smile that wasn't a smile. "Oh? Conveniences that you can't imagine? "
Dongfang Wuxiang smiled and nodded. "Of course, this consort is in charge of Donglin's trade. As long as you cooperate with this consort, this consort can give you a lot of conveniences in trade. This consort can open up the trade in Donglin's southwest region to you, and let you do business there. In the future, if anyone wants to do business there, they will need your permission. In addition, we can also cooperate in the salt industry, mining industry, clothing, food, housing, transportation, and so on. As long as we work together, how can Prince Xian be your opponent? "
Chu Xuanchen coldly looked at Dongfang Wuxiang and said in a low voice, "Apologies, Crown Prince, Wang isn't interested in these. Please find someone else."
Dongfang Wuxiang looked at Chu Xuanchen in disbelief. "The Emperor of Li, this consort can give you so many benefits, but you don't want them? As long as we work together, we can overthrow Prince Xian. At that time, you can take the throne. You and your wife might even be able to command the world. Why not? "
Chu Xuanchen stood up and arrogantly raised his eyebrows, looking very domineering. "What Wang wants to do, why does he need someone else's help? Crown Prince, Wang advises you to give up on this idea! "
Seeing Chu Xuanchen's indifference, Dongfang Wuxiang grit his teeth and said, then said, "The Emperor of Li, you must think carefully... are you really not willing to work with this consort?
Chu Xuanchen stretched out his hand and tapped on the table. "We can talk about business cooperation, such as the trade you mentioned just now, but not this!"
Hearing this, Dongfang Wuxiang wanted to vomit blood.
He wanted to cooperate with Chu Xuanchen to overthrow King Xian. Chu Xuanchen was unwilling, but he was willing to do business with him.
How could there be such a good deal in this world?
This Chu Xuanchen was really two-faced. He only thought about benefits and didn't want to help him.
It seemed that he had made a wasted trip today.
He waved his sleeves coldly. "The Emperor of Li, it seems that we can't continue to talk about this cooperation. You don't sincerely want to talk with this consort. This consort will take his leave now!"
Chu Xuanchen coldly raised his eyebrows and said in a domineering voice, "Take care. I won't see you out!"
He didn't want to talk with Dongfang Wuxiang in the first place.
Dongfang Wuxiang walked out of The Emperor of Li's residence with a face full of anger.
This Chu Xuanchen really didn't know what was good for him. He thought too highly of himself. He actually didn't take him, the Crown Prince, seriously. He was too arrogant!
He didn't expect Chu Xuanchen to be so shrewd. He didn't fall for his trick at all.
On the surface, he wanted to cooperate with Chu Xuanchen. In reality, he wanted to use this opportunity to sow discord between Chu Xuanchen and Prince Xian. He wanted them to kill each other so that his Donglin Kingdom could sit back and reap the benefits.
Who knew that Chu Xuanchen didn't fall for his trick at all. He didn't give him any face at all. He was really angry!
When he thought about Prince Xian and Nalan Meng's wedding in a dozen days, he was very anxious.
No, he had to break them up as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be too late when they got married!
The Nalan family could only belong to Donglin Kingdom. He definitely wouldn't let this family fall into the hands of an enemy kingdom.
It was useless to ask Chu Xuanchen to deal with Prince Xian. It seemed that he had to ask the other ministers of Chu for help.
He had to send people to contact and bribe those ministers as soon as possible. He hoped to drag Prince Xian down. Only then would he have hope of taking back Menger.

The Emperor of Li's Estate.
These days, Yun Ruoyue was resting at home.
Nanfeng and Xing 'er liked to play with water, so she often took them to the hot springs in the backyard of The Emperor of Li's Estate.
The water in the hot springs was very comfortable. Sometimes, they would soak for a long time. She could relax and accompany the children.
Today, after Yun Ruoyue and the children finished soaking in the hot springs, Hong 'er brought a bathrobe for her to wear.
When Hong 'er walked behind Yun Ruoyue, she suddenly saw a vivid butterfly tattoo on Yun Ruoyue's back.
That tattoo was very beautiful. Hong 'er couldn't help but cry out, "King …"
"Hong 'er!" Hong' er had just opened her mouth when Deng 'er's voice suddenly came from outside.
"Princess Consort, this servant will go out for a moment." As Hong 'er spoke, she quickly draped the bathrobe over Yun Ruoyue's body. She immediately walked out and said to Deng' er outside, "Deng 'er, what's wrong?"
"Hong 'er, aren't you going to help out at the newly opened restaurant? Uncle Wang is going to deliver food to the restaurant. We can take his carriage and go to the restaurant together. "Deng 'er said.
Hong 'er hurriedly said, "That's right. It's convenient to hitch a ride with Uncle Wang. Okay, I'll go in and talk to the princess consort first. "
As she spoke, she turned and walked into the main hall. She said to Yun Ruoyue, "Niang niang, let Fung and Jiu 'er serve here. Deng' er and I will go to the restaurant to help!"
Yun Ruoyue chuckled, "Okay, you can go!"
"En, then we'll go first!" As Hong 'er spoke, she went to find Uncle Wang with Deng' er. She suddenly forgot about the tattoo on Yun Ruoyue's back.
Seeing Hong 'er leave, Fung hurriedly came over to help Yun Ruoyue put on the bathrobe.
Suddenly, she said in shock, "Niang niang, why is the tattoo on your back exposed? Didn't you cover it with ointment? "
"Ah?" Yun Ruoyue hurriedly looked in the mirror. Sure enough, she saw the tattoo on her back exposed.
She hurriedly said, "Maybe I've been soaking in the hot spring every day recently. I soaked for a long time, so I soaked the concealer off!"
Speaking of this, she exclaimed, "Oh no, Hong 'er put on the clothes for me just now. I don't know if she saw it?"
Fung said, "She shouldn't. Hong 'er has a big mouth. If she saw it, she would definitely say it. She left in a hurry just now. She shouldn't have seen it. Niang niang, don't worry. "
Hearing Fung's words, Yun Ruoyue was relieved.
It was good that she didn't see it.
Her mother said that this tattoo would bring a fatal disaster to her and the people around her. It must not be leaked.
Therefore, except for her and Fung, no one could know about it, not even Chu Xuanchen.
Because the fewer people who knew, the better. Everyone would be safe.
She picked up the concealer ointment on the table and said, "For everyone's safety, no one can know about this tattoo. Fung, help me apply some more ointment to cover this tattoo. "
"Yes, niang niang." Fung replied.
After speaking, she walked over, opened the ointment, and helped Yun Ruoyue apply it.
After Fung finished applying the ointment, Yun Ruoyue looked in the mirror again.
When she saw that her back was clean and white again, she breathed a sigh of relief.
