The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

Chapter 70 The Emperor's Substitute 17

The Ke Lai Inn in Dongcheng, the imperial capital of the Daqing Dynasty, was the best inn in the entire imperial capital. Not only did it have an excellent location, but the waiters at the inn were attentive and attentive, and it also provided privacy and security. For example, this Kelai Inn has many independent courtyards for guests to rent.

In the independent courtyard of the Ke Lai Inn called Cuizhuxuan, there lived a caravan from Da Qin. Although Da Qing Dynasty is now at war with Da Qin, the trade exchanges between the two parties have not stopped, but have been slightly affected. .

Speaking of which, the conflict between the two countries was triggered by floods in the Yellow River. The Yellow River basin was extremely wide, but the most severely affected area was the Daqing Dynasty. It was precisely because of this opportunity that Da Qin sent troops to attack the Da Qing Dynasty. However, by this time, this war had become the epitome of the political struggle between the two sides.

This war has already become the core of the political exchange between Yan Junxian and the Prince of Da Qin. Although the two sides are still in opposition and the armies are still fighting, the top decision-makers of both sides have unknowingly changed their plans.

That night, Xuan Yuan quietly left the palace with the secret guards he could fully trust and arrived at Cuizhuxuan, the Ke Lai Inn in Dongcheng. The Da Qin caravan who rented this independent courtyard was none other than the Da Qin Crown Prince and his party. It can be considered a bold move, but he actually chose to come to the hinterland of Daqing to trade with Yan Junxian.

Xuan Yuan came to see the Prince of Qin this time just to discuss the next deal with him. Naturally, Xuan Yuan would not collude with Da Qin to deal with the Shen family, but he had to deal with the matter thoroughly, and he also planned to I'm using this deal to trick Da Qin.

"I have met Your Majesty." In Cuizhuxuan's study, the Prince of Qin was already waiting here. When he saw Xuan Yuan coming in with someone, he bowed his hands in greeting.

The Crown Prince of Da Qin is now twenty-three or four years old. He has an ordinary appearance and slightly gloomy and cold eyes. After seeing Xuan Yuan greeting him, he couldn't help but frown slightly. He always felt that the majesty and inscrutability of the Da Qing Emperor were more powerful than the I don’t know how much deeper it was when we last met.

Before the war between the two countries, the diplomatic relations were pretty good. As the crown prince of Da Qin, he had also served as an envoy to the Da Qing Dynasty. It was their last meeting that laid the foundation for their deal.

Xuan Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a faint smile emerged from the corner of his lips: "Long time no see, Prince, you are well."

After the two of them smiled and exchanged "friendly" greetings for a while, the two parties finally sat down on both sides of the desk, facing each other, and began to discuss the details of the transaction between the two parties. Of course, the Prince of Qin really thought that he could Use this deal to suppress the restless younger brothers in the court.

Little did he know that the partner he was cooperating with had quietly changed, and the originally agreed deal was not intended to continue.

"Your Majesty has not changed his mind, right? Your Majesty regards the Shen Jiajun as a thorn in his side. Are you still willing to cooperate with us to erase the existence of the Shen Jiajun?" The Crown Prince of Da Qin asked with a sinister smile on his ordinary-featured face.

Xuan Yuan's eyes flashed, he lowered his eyes and smiled: "Of course my mind has not changed, so -" He looked at the Prince of Qin, and the smile on his lips deepened, "Happy cooperation?"

In the dark night, except for a few flowery streets like a city that never sleeps, the entire Daqing Dynasty has quieted down and is sleeping in the cold night. It is quiet and gentle. The originally bustling and lively city shows a different scenery in the night.

On Xuan Yuan's way back to the palace, 0617 asked: "Host, what did you do to the Prince of Qin?" It didn't think that the host was a person who didn't cause trouble, so there must be something wrong.

Xuan Yuan's thin lips curled slightly, his eyes were unfathomably deep, and he smiled lightly and said: "I didn't do anything, but I just made the prince wholeheartedly believe that I would cooperate with him."

"After that, I will secretly pass the Shen family army's marching formation plan to Da Qin, so that the Prince of Da Qin who personally leads the army can defeat the Shen family army and repay the favor. He will also give Da Qin's border map, and when he leaves the border, the emperor's brother will lead the army. Let me Da Qing defeat Da Qin."

The smile on Xuan Yuan's lips became colder and colder. The war between the two countries only fulfilled their selfish desires and fights. The soldiers who died in the war and the people who were displaced and became refugees because of the war, But no one cared.

This is the superior, this is the emperor? If this is really the case, then Xuan Yuan feels extremely disappointed. Even though his cultivation was the highest in the entire world of cultivation back then, and one person and one sword suppressed the entire world of cultivation to the point of bowing their heads, Xuan Yuan had never committed any unnecessary killings.

"But host, you won't do this, you are lying to him!" 0617 exclaimed, and then said viciously, "You just want to lie to him, they are so bad, they must be taught a lesson! Host, let's just work together to destroy Da Qin Bar!"

The sigh and unspeakable emotions in Xuan Yuan's heart immediately dissipated. He curled his lips, showed a smile, and said slightly teasingly: "We? 0617, have you misunderstood something? How can you help me?" You’re busy, don’t be pushy.”

"Be quiet and don't make any noise. You have already done me a great favor. As for other things, don't think too much. It's not good to have too many fantasies."

0617: "To be honest, I'm going to be angry. You are about to lose this baby. This baby will no longer love you."

After returning to the palace, it was not far before the court time. Xuan Yuan casually squinted for a while, took a short rest and then got up and went to the Huangji Hall to attend the court. Fortunately, there was nothing new in the morning court. On the contrary, it was because the members of the Shen family had recently Keeping a low profile and being quite quiet allowed Xuan Yuan to spend the morning peacefully.

After going to court, Xuan Yuan returned to the Daming Palace. The original owner's physical condition was a bit poor. He couldn't bear it after a night's sleep. Refresh yourself.

Behind the tightly covered curtain, a figure could be vaguely seen sleeping. The great eunuch walked in with very light steps, bowed deeply and whispered softly: "Your Majesty?"

Xuan Yuan was already in a light sleep, and his consciousness noticed the great eunuch almost as soon as he approached. He immediately opened his eyes, hummed softly, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "What time is it?"

"It's already noon, Your Majesty, are you up for dinner?" the eunuch asked softly, his voice was slightly shrill, but his tone was very soft and respectful.

Xuan Yuan blinked away the sleepiness and drowsiness. He half sat up, his plain white Shu brocade lining slightly opened and hung loosely around his body, revealing his fair and thin chest. His jet black hair was spread out on his chest. The feather-like black and the jade-like white contrast with each other, showing a magnificent and beautiful scenery.

His fair and slender hands reached out from the bed curtain, Xuan Yuan leaned out and sat on the edge of the bed with casual movements. Lifting his eyelids, Xuan Yuan raised his hand to cover his lips and yawned. But two palace maids had already come forward gently, pulled up the bed curtain and pinned it to the golden hook beside the bed.

After waving away the palace maid who came to change his clothes, Xuan Yuan picked up a newly made emperor's uniform and put it on: "Have you sorted out the memorials and put them in the imperial study?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it has been sorted out." The eunuch responded softly. He came forward with a palm-sized piece of mutton-fat jade pendant in both hands. He bent down and carefully tied the jade pendant around Xuan Yuan's waist, and then pressed him down. of clothes.

Xuan Yuan hummed, straightened his sleeves and left the palace to have lunch. As he walked towards the eunuch who was following him, he said, "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor came to report earlier that the injury on Concubine Rou's face could not be cured. Okay, I’m afraid there will be scars.”

Hearing this, Xuan Yuan frowned lightly again and simply said: "Let the imperial doctor do his best to diagnose and treat. Although we still lock Concubine Rou and Yan Junxian in the side hall, there is no need to embarrass her too much. Tell her clearly that this The biological mother of the child who will inherit the throne will be her, and as long as the Li family doesn't cause trouble, I won't be stingy with the wealth."

He was not compensating Li Mingxue, but it was true that in this matter, it was he who gave Shen Xiaoyue free access to the side halls of the Daming Palace to visit Yan Junxian, which gave her the opportunity to ruin Li Mingxue's face. In this regard, it was He acted inappropriately.

After Xuan Yuan had finished his meal, the very discerning eunuch stepped forward and bent down and said: "Your Majesty's wishes have been conveyed to the concubine. The empress said that she will definitely take good care of that person for your Majesty. I only ask that your Majesty Take good care of the Li family."

Li Mingxue is a smart person. Even if her appearance is not ruined, her situation will not be better than now. After all, Yan Junxian had been imprisoned by Xuan Yuan and lost his throne. Moreover, he had seen her true face and no longer loved her.

Now that she has lost her appearance, she has gained Xuan Yuan's compensation. As long as she keeps up with her own ambitions, the next emperor's biological mother will definitely be her, and Xuan Yuan will also take care of the Li family. Her father has no talent and limited abilities. Officials of all sizes.

But her brother is extremely smart and studious. If he has the emperor's care, he doesn't need much care. As long as he is given a chance, her brother will grow up, and the Li family will have a future.

When she first entered the palace, wasn't it because she wanted to win the favor of the emperor and win a future for the Li family? Now, although it's a little off track, isn't it in line with what she wants? Even if she loses her appearance and has to be tied to Yan Junxian, a loser, for the rest of her life, she still thinks it's worth it!

Xuan Yuan nodded understandingly, tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Don't Li Mingxue have a younger brother? Let Gu Wenqing teach him." If her younger brother is really talented, Gu Wenqing will lead him , he is also willing to take him as a confidant and train him well.

Naturally, Xuan Yuan did not need to worry about this kind of thing. He ordered someone to handle it. Xuan Yuan was about to go to the imperial study room. Suddenly, a palm-sized bird with fluffy feathers came in from the hollow flower window and flew with fluttering wings. He reached Xuan Yuan's side, then landed on his shoulder, turning his head and rubbing Xuan Yuan's face affectionately.

"Huh?" Xuan Yuan, who had been smiling at the corners of his lips as he accepted the fluffy bird's nuzzling, suddenly frowned, and a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in his deep black eyes, which were extremely dark.
