"The princess has calculated everyone's hearts." Tian Yuan took the opportunity to praise her. Praising the princess now would make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince happier than praising His Highness.
"No, she has figured it out for me." Xiao Huayong looked at the gray sky, feeling particularly bright. "She knows that as long as she gives me a push, I can keep up with her."
All that can be seen are his pupils of black, white and grey, which are exceptionally deep and condensed with a sharp silver glow. The smile at the corners of his lips spreads along with the light and penetrates into the bottom of his eyes. The mole at the end of his eye is full of charm.
He guessed that Dong Biquan would not dare to speak out if he knew about this matter, would not dare to let his political enemies know, and would not dare to confess to His Majesty easily. Even if he pretended to be brave enough to go, he would not let Dong Biquan open his mouth.
Thus, under the guidance of people with ulterior motives, they take an unconventional approach in an attempt to get away with it, completely unaware that they have already stepped into the gates of hell.
"Where is Envoy Zhao Xiu..." This time, Envoy Zhao Xiu was sacrificed.
"Your Majesty is just venting his anger at this juncture. He has not committed any serious mistakes in the first place. It is better to let him leave now. When this matter is settled, Your Majesty will remember his frankness and uprightness, and his sincere heart in serving the king. If you call him back, he will be more valued."
He had spent so much effort to arrange a trusted confidant among the Embroidered Uniform Envoys, how could he be easily harmed
If Zhao Zhenghao confesses to some trivial romantic affairs at this time, His Majesty will be angry that he is not worthy of being used. But after calming down, he will feel that he is a man of true character, has weaknesses, and is loyal to the monarch.
When Dong Biquan found out why Zhao Zhenghao made His Majesty so angry, and found out that it was because Zhao Zhenghao used his position as the Embroidered Uniform Envoy to compete for the favor of a courtesan, he dared not to tell His Majesty about the holes in the Ministry of Revenue, for fear of losing his head immediately.
It's death either way, maybe there's a way to survive if you take it slow, so why not take a chance
"The princess has been a great help. I thought it would take some time to trap Dong Biquan." This was the first time Tian Yuan personally felt that Shen Xihe and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were equally matched. "It can be seen that the princess is on His Royal Highness' side."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Huayong smiled without saying anything. He looked at the straight Pingzhong tree with leaves falling from its branches, with a smile in his eyes that could not be faded.
He said that Shen Xihe treated him differently, but he was very clear in his mind. Shen Xihe helped him this time for three reasons: first, she also wanted to make a move on the Minister of Revenue; second, it was to help Bu Shulin, well, or to get benefits from Bu Shulin.
Third, she was using her wisdom to tell him that she could understand his approach, and with just a casual stroke, she could make his layout more perfect, or ruin it all.
"She knows where we hide the autumn grain." Xiao Huayong laughed softly, his unique laughter revealed moving joy.
Whether to help him kick Dong Biquan into the net, or to turn around and help Dong Biquan break his game, all depended on her.
Tian Yuan couldn't laugh anymore, and he muttered, "Princess, you are really scary..."
"Fear?" Xiao Huayong's smile deepened, and he shook his head gently, "Her beauty makes me happier the more I look at her."
Never before has a woman given him so many surprises. When he thought he had seen all of her, she would reveal even more of her charms, making him admire her endlessly, become obsessed with her, and unable to extricate himself.
