The last time the peace negotiation failed, since Yan Fang found out the inner ghost, the trust between Qi and Yan was restored, and the peace negotiation meeting went smoothly.
After the two sides exchanged views, they reached a tacit understanding again.
Seeing that the peace negotiation is about to succeed, He Yunxiao always feels that this matter is not that simple.
Sure enough, another moth appeared.
"The King of the Southwest got the news again at some point, and he took aim at the meeting everywhere, and our original plan was difficult to implement." Ruobao said.
"Again? Is there still detailed work?" He Yunxiao asked in surprise.
Fan Zi nodded weakly, "At present, this is indeed the only possibility."
Fearing that Ruobao would imply that the problem was someone Li, He Yunxiao said cautiously: "Weakbao, what do you think is the origin of this secret work?"
"At present, it seems that there is a problem with our side. It is better for you to know less about this matter. I will write to His Highness and let her deal with it."
Fan Ziruo didn't say anything, and He Yunxiao didn't dare to ask more. In short, it's not that Ms. Li has a problem again.
…
Although it wasn't Li Xiangjun who had the problem, He Yunxiao couldn't imagine who had the problem.
This time, the party that went wrong was actually Meng Bao's confidant, and also the Empress Dowager's confidant, Li Gongqin, Minister of Rites!
You must know that the power of the Li family in the south of the Yangtze River has always been regarded as the hardcore power of the eldest princess. No one would have thought that this time, the natal family would directly rebel.
As the investigation deepened, He Yunxiao and others suddenly discovered that not only Jiangnan's Li family and Li Gongqin, but even Ruobao's good sister "Nangong Yu'er" were involved.
Tingfenglou seems to be the instigator of this leak. But the news obtained from Tingfenglou was handed over to the Southwest King without accident.
Things suddenly become complicated.
…
On a towering observation deck in Jingtian City, a man and a woman chatted. The woman is in a good mood, but the man is sad.
Hearing He Yunxiao's concern about "I have a friend", Li Xiangjun immediately guessed who the main character was.
She pondered for a moment, then comforted her and said, "Don't worry about it. Can she tell the difference between Fan Ziruo's head? Tingfeng Building is not a small organization. There are many factions in the building, and each family has different interests. One, this is normal. In my opinion, she probably won't have any opinion on Nangong."
"Did you guess it?" He Yunxiao was embarrassed.
Li Xiangjun blinked playfully, "Do you think I'm a fool? Can't figure it out yet?"
He Yunxiao chuckled, and said: "Madam, please keep it secret for me."
Li Xiangjun curled his lips and said dissatisfied: "Is that why you can't trust me?"
"No, I'm just..." He Yunxiao was about to explain, but what Li Xiangjun said next silenced him.
"I just want to publicize it, so who am I going to tell?"
The stunning woman who has always been confident looks very lonely at this time.
In the huge Jingtian City, with a population of millions, there is not even a single gossip around her.
"Miss Li..." Seeing Li Xiangjun's attitude, He Yunxiao couldn't bear it, and subconsciously wanted to reach out, wrap her waist and hug her in his arms.
But his hand stopped in mid-air.
There is no other reason, this move is too intimate, even if it is a close friend, it can't be done. Regardless of whether Li Xiangjun would be disgusted by this action, he said that his "home" was already in chaos at this time. Before the internal affairs are cleared up, it's not easy to provoke new girls.
If you hug her and she doesn't resist, it's like throwing another shark into the pond. The small pond in the Hou Mansion cannot withstand such a rush.
He Yunxiao clenched his fist in mid-air and retracted it behind him. He just said out loud: "If Miss Li wants to talk to someone, you can ask me to come here."
Seeing that He Yunxiao withdrew his palm, Li Xiangjun secretly thought it was a pity.
It seems that in his heart, there is a gap between himself and those women after all.
Li Xiangjun had a thought, came up with another plan, and immediately smiled and said: "By the way, I heard that Qi State is willing to exchange the Rudong Valley with us. This is all due to you. Tell me, how do you want Your Majesty to thank you?" You. With our friendship, even if you want something too much, I can help you plead with His Majesty. How about it? Interesting enough?"
He Yunxiao was amused by Li's naughty "playing two roles", and said: "What can a layman ask for? I only heard that Emperor Yan is so beautiful. If I can get her to serve me, I will be happy in my life." It’s no regrets.”
Hearing this, Li Xiangjun's pretty face was like a sunset, and the clouds were born out of thin air, and immediately flushed.
Seeing her like this, He Yunxiao knew she had misunderstood. In all fairness, he never really thought about letting Emperor Yan "serve" him. After all, he is the proud ruler of a country, so how could he lose his innocence just by making a joke. The word "serve" here is actually more simple.
"It's just drinking and listening to music, there is no other meaning!" He Yunxiao was afraid that Li Xiangjun would not believe it, and said: "No, I promise. It's just drinking flower wine."
Li Xiangjun blushed, and didn't say whether he agreed or disagreed.
He Yunxiao regarded her as a friend, and this proposal was originally a joke. It's not proper for Emperor Yan to serve him drinking flower wine, so he simply found a way for himself.
"Oh, I forgot. The girl's drinking capacity is bottomless. I'm asking for trouble if I drink with the girl. This proposal, or forget it. I'll think of another one."
Perhaps He Yunxiao's "step" touched Li Xiangjun's pain point inexplicably, and she immediately agreed: "Come to my bedroom tomorrow night."
He was even afraid that He Yunxiao would regret it, so he added: "Anyone who doesn't come is a puppy!"
…
Just as Li Xiangjun expected. Fan Ziruo was very calm in the face of "Tingfenglou's backstab".
She even told Nangong Yu'er about this in person, and before Nangong Yu'er "cries and repents", she said "it's none of your business".
However, taking this opportunity also allowed Fan Ziruo to understand the complexity of the peace talks.
This peace talk may involve far more than Qi and Yan.
"Yu'er has a lot of relatives in her family, and my father can't cover everything." Nangong Yu'er lowered her head and explained to Fan Ziruo.
Fan Ziruo asked calmly, "Then Yu'er thinks, which branch of the Tingfeng Tower is the one who helped the Southwest King connect with the Jiangnan Li family this time?"
Nangong Yu'er thought for a while, then shook her head, and said: "The King of Southwest has been stationed in the southwest of Qi State for a long time, and Tingfenglou's power there is not very strong, and my second uncle is doing business in Jiangnan, so..."
Fan Ziruo frowned.
Nangong Yu'er's meaning is very simple: the faction that can contact the Southwest King is not in the south of the Yangtze River, and the faction in the south of the Yangtze River cannot contact the Southwest King. The Southwest King wanted to contact the Li family in Jiangnan. Apart from the Tingfeng Building in the south of the Yangtze River, he also needed another middleman to build a bridge between him and the Tingfeng Building of the Jiangnan School.
Of course, there is another possibility. The Southwest Wang, Tingfenglou, and Jiangnan Li's family are not connected with each other, but "commanded at the same time".
