Views:

After listening to the imperial concubine's words, Xuanyuan Shi didn't know how to answer such a question. He looked at the imperial concubine and said calmly, "I need to think about this matter. You know me, I wholeheartedly help the third child but he doesn't care about the throne either. But if I help others, I guess you won’t be happy either.”

The imperial concubine did not expect Xuanyuan to say such words. She looked at Xuanyuan and shook her head, "In fact, I don't care at all. If the third child cannot take the throne, then whoever can ascend the throne and become the emperor in the future can do it, but this person will definitely not It can be the second child.”

Xuanyuan Shi looked at the imperial concubine and nodded seriously. In this regard, he still agreed with the imperial concubine's statement, that is, no matter who ascends the throne as emperor in the future, it will be fine, but it cannot be Xuanyuan Yufan.

Xuanyuan Yufan is extremely ambitious, and he doesn't seem to be easy to deal with.

"Ah Shi, if we help the prince, it might be good for us." The imperial concubine looked at Xuanyuan with a smile on her face and said, "In that case, why don't we help them, so that the queen might not tell us what happened. To Your Majesty."

"Qiqi, I need to think about this matter." Xuanyuan Shi looked at the imperial concubine and said with a serious face, "Whether to help or not is not a matter of a single thought, but there are some things that Xu Yao has carefully considered. , you should understand what I mean."

The imperial concubine looked at Xuanyuan with an expression on her face, and nodded seriously, "You are right, but I neglected this point."

Xuanyuan Shi looked at the concubine's charming smile and took her into his arms, "Qiqi, although the third child knew about our affairs, he didn't tell the emperor about it. I already feel very relieved, so this I think it’s still necessary to seek Lao San’s opinion on this matter, what do you think?”

The imperial concubine naturally understood the meaning of Xuanyuan Shi's words. She looked at Xuanyuan Shi and nodded seriously, "In that case, I will ask the third child then to see what he thinks."

"Okay, then I'll leave first. I won't be here for the next few days." Xuanyuan Shi said and gently kissed the concubine's eyebrows.

The imperial concubine looked at Xuanyuan Shi who turned to leave with a look of nostalgia on her face. She originally thought that after Xuanyuan Yuzhe ascended the throne as emperor, she could be with Xuanyuan Shi, but now that she thought about it, Xuanyuan Yuzhe had no intention of taking the throne at all, so she also It can only be like this.

"Nine Kings, our master invites you."

When Xuanyuan Shi just walked out of the palace gate, a sword was pressed against his lower back. Although Xuanyuan Shi's martial arts was not bad, he could feel that the person behind him was more powerful than her in martial arts, so he could only choose to give up. Solved by force.

"Who is your master?" Xuanyuan Shi said in a deep voice, looking at the man's expression.

"Don't you know who our master is when you see him?" Yao Chi said calmly as he looked at Xuanyuan, "What's more, our master is not waiting for you alone."

Listening to the words of the person behind him, Xuanyuan Shi frowned and said, "Then why is your master looking for me? Could it be that he simply wants to see me."

Yao Ji looked at the expression on Xuanyuan's face and said with a smile, "Since the master asked me to invite you, it is natural for the master to have a reason. The prince wants to know what the master is looking for you so much. You will know after you go."

Xuanyuan Shi could only look at the expression on Yao Ji's face and left with him.

Xuanyuan Shi did not expect that the place Yao Chi took him to was actually the Julong Zhai. Although he had always known that the Julong Zhai was very powerful, he never knew who the master behind the Julong Zhai was.

"Who is your master?" Xuanyuan Shi looked at the demon and said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, now that we have arrived, won't you know who our master is in a moment?" Yao Ji said indifferently as he looked at Xuanyuan.

Xuanyuan Shi listened to Yao Chi and could only follow Yao Chi into the Julongzhai. The shopkeeper of Julongzhai smiled when he saw Yao Chi and said, "Master, the prince is already waiting for you in the original box."

Yaoji nodded to the shopkeeper, and then took Xuanyuan Shi to the box they had reserved.

When the demon opened the door, he said respectfully, "Master, the prince's subordinates have arrived."

When Xuanyuan Shi heard Yao Chi's words, he looked up and saw the three people in the box - Xuanyuan Yuzhen, Murong Jingxuan and Su Qingyan.

Xuanyuan Shi did not expect that the master behind the Julongzhai would be these three people or one of them.

"Uncle Jiu Wang, long time no see." Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at Xuanyuan and said with a smile, "I heard that Uncle Jiu Wang has been getting closer to the imperial concubine recently!"

Listening to Xuanyuan Yuzhen's words, Xuanyuan Shi opened his eyes wide. He did not expect that Xuanyuan Yuzhen would also know about his affairs with the imperial concubine. Moreover, few people in the palace seemed to know about his affairs with the imperial concubine. Even Feng Yidu, the only one who knew the truth, had been eliminated by them.

"Fourth, what are you talking about?" Xuanyuan Shi looked at Xuanyuan Yuzhen and said with a guilty conscience, "How did I get to know the imperial concubine?"

"Uncle Jiu Wang will naturally not admit it." Qingyan said calmly while looking at Xuanyuan, "But I think you can still listen to what the third brother said. You are right, fourth brother."

Xuanyuan Yuzhen nodded seriously after listening to Qingyan's words, "What Yan'er said makes sense. Could it be that what the third brother said was a lie to us?"

Xuanyuan Shi listened to Xuanyuan Yuzhen's words and didn't know how to answer. He didn't expect that Xuanyuan Yuzhe would tell Xuanyuan Yuzhen such a thing.

After all, he had lived for so many years and was not afraid of anything, but the only thing he was afraid of was going against Xuanyuan Yuzhen. Especially after Xuanyuan Yuzhen became an adult, he always felt that Xuanyuan Yuzhen seemed to be able to understand everyone.

"Nine Kings, you must be thinking about how to explain this matter to us." Murong Jingxuan looked at the silent Xuanyuan and said with a smile, "After all, this kind of thing can't happen to everyone. "

"That's right! According to your seniority, I should also call you Uncle Ninth King. I think Uncle Ninth King won't mind."

Xuanyuan Shi looked at the expressions on the faces of the three of them, as if they were waiting for something. He looked at the three of them and finally said helplessly, "Are you here just to make me admit to having an affair with the imperial concubine?" Something about that.”

"Oh!" Xuanyuan Yuzhen raised his eyebrows and looked at Xuanyuan Shi, "It seems that Uncle Jiuwang is really having an affair with the imperial concubine. I wonder what Father will think of Uncle Jiuwang when he knows this."

Listening to Xuanyuan Yuzhen's words, Xuanyuan Shi shuddered, "Fourth, can't your father know about this?"

"Of course I know that I can't let my father know, so I wonder if Uncle Nine Princes can agree to my condition?"
