Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 585
Mrs. Xiao has given her enough face as the hostess, and Liu Yunxiang is not ignorant of good and evil.

She temporarily let go of her anger and followed them into the inner room.

After Mrs. Xiao sat down, she poured her a cup of tea herself, "Mrs. Xiao, there is something I don't understand."

Mrs. Xiao raised her eyebrows, "Oh?"

"Obviously you have no old feelings for my highness, but why did you provoke me again and again during these two meetings, and even took the wrong silk handkerchief on purpose." Liu Yunxiang said.

When Liu Yunxiang asked this question, he also poured Yan Mu a cup of tea.But he pushed it aside, playing petty temper in front of outsiders.She ignored him and sat down on the seat beside him.

Mrs. Xiao saw it in her eyes, and snorted: "When I first saw Your Highness, the gentle breeze and the moon, the fairy appearance and the beautiful appearance, the girl couldn't help being moved, so she wanted to follow such a person, not to mention her status, as long as she could see it every day. .”

Liu Yunxiang turned his head and cast a sideways glance at Yan Mu. When he was in Beijin, he was almost tortured to the point where he was not a human being. After returning to raise these days, he has regained his fat and air, and he has become a 'beautiful beauty'.

Seeing her looking at him, Yan Mu raised his chin, turned his head arrogantly, and glanced at her sideways.

Liu Yunxiang didn't care about him, turned around and smiled at Mrs. Xiao, "He just has a good skin, and nothing else."

Mrs. Xiao rested her chin with her hand, "If the princess dislikes it, why don't you let me?"

"The general Xiao is also good."

"My old Xiao, apart from being ugly, he has advantages in everything."

"It's not ugly, it's pretty handsome."

"Give it to you?"

"Okay."

The two made some jokes, and Madam Xiao sighed, "At that time, my youngest daughter was still waiting in the garden one day, waiting for His Highness to come over and confess her love to him."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xiao snorted and looked at Yan Mu, "Your Highness, do you still remember how you replied to me?"

There was a vase on the table, with crabapple flowers in it, and he was plucking the petals boredly, ignoring what he said.

Mrs. Xiao curled her lips, "He asked me to go back and look in the mirror first, and said that he likes good-looking people."

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly covered his smile with a handkerchief, "His mouth, ahem, is really damaged sometimes."

"I just saw you again after such a big blow."

"I?"

"You are so beautiful, but he is full of you." Mrs. Xiao glanced at Yan Mu and then at Liu Yunxiang, her eyes filled with resentment, "Not long after that, we sisters were sent out of Orchid Garden And when I saw His Highness again a few days ago, he didn’t remember me. In vain I have been telling Lao Xiao all these years that I had a man with him before I married him. That man was so good. Lao Xiao was afraid that I would turn around and look for him This man has always had a sense of crisis."

Liu Yunxiang smiled dryly, "So you took the wrong silk handkerchief on purpose to make me jealous?"

Mrs. Xiao tilted her head and looked at Yan Mu, "Your Highness cherishes that silk handkerchief so much. If it is for the princess, then my goal will be achieved. If it is another woman, such as the princess in the courtyard, then I will be in vain." scheming."

Yan Mu snorted, "Then your efforts are indeed in vain."

"Yo, is it really for another woman?"

"I bought it for myself, can't I?"

Mrs. Xiao snorted, "Your Highness, a big man actually has such a habit."

Yan Mu glared at Mrs. Xiao, "I heard you talking so much nonsense, can you talk about business?"

Mrs. Xiao slapped her forehead, "I really forgot."

She took out a letter from her bosom, put it on the case, and pushed it in front of Yan Mu, "This letter is in the letter from home, he asked me to give it to you, I thought it was so secret, so I can't I let outsiders know, so I lent the palace to the concubine to send incense powder."

Yan Mu took the letter, tore it open and read the contents, and then said to Mrs. Xiao: "Reply to him, saying that the king has made arrangements here, and will cooperate with him when the time comes."

Mrs. Xiao didn't ask any more questions, and remembered this sentence perfectly, "Then I'll answer him like this."

As soon as he finished his business, Chang Ning shouted outside the door: "Your Highness, the medicine is ready, drink it while it's hot."

Yan Mu glanced at Liu Yunxiang, and replied, "Please trouble the princess."

After a while, Chang Ning came in with a bowl of medicine, and Liu Yunxiang went straight to Yan Mu, told him to be careful, and when he drank it, he said it was a bit bitter, so bear with it.

Such concern made Mrs. Xiao shake her head.

"I didn't have a daughter. If I did, I would have to slap her if I saw her running into other people's homes without a name or status, and seducing men in front of their wives."

Chang Ning pursed his lips and didn't speak, and when Yan Mu finished drinking, she put some candied fruit in his hand.

"I'm so angry with your highness."

Yan Mu gave her the bowl, and Chang Ning went out.

Mrs. Xiao glared at Liu Yunxiang, "They are both like this, why don't you say a word?"

Liu Yunxiang shrugged, "If a man's heart changes, ten horses won't be able to pull him back."

Yan Mu snorted, "If a woman misses you, she won't shed a single tear if you die in front of her."

The corners of Madam Xiao's mouth twitched, "Suddenly I feel that both of you are quite naive."

After seeing Mrs. Xiao off, Liu Yunxiang asked General Xiao what happened to that letter.

Yan Mu's face was serious, he got up and closed the door, looked out of the window, saw no one was in front of him, so he sat back in peace.

"Our family has ears."

"ear?"

Liu Yunxiang looked out subconsciously, and saw Chang Ning who was soaking herbs in the middle of the yard.

"She should have been used by Shangguan Xu."

Liu Yunxiang was silent for a while, "You can expose her."

"I want Shangguan Xu to relax his vigilance against me, so that he can secretly plan things in Luzhou."

"what's up?"

"Luzhou is rich in iron ore, and the amount of mining is huge. In addition to the expenses of the imperial court, the private sector also has a prosperous trade transaction in North Jinxiyue, which provides nearly one-third of the tax silver for the treasury. The Luzhou governor and the governor concealed The imperial court secretly mined a place, and even refined weapons. It was suppressed once before, and now it has revived again. The control of this place has also been transferred from the Suping Palace to Shangguanxu. It is one of Shangguanxu’s old lairs. Hongxuan coaxed the emperor to go to the ancestral mausoleum to worship the ancestors. When he came back, I deliberately took him around to Luzhou, and arranged for Jiang Yuan to pretend to be a human trafficker, and kidnapped the three of us to the iron mine factory, so that the emperor could see it with his own eyes. It’s just Luzhou The local officials and officials are protecting each other, mobilizing the whole body. The emperor has not yet made up his mind to investigate. The emperor needs to light another fire. I thought of Xiao Meng and asked him to report the privately-made weapons in Luzhou. Luzhou."

It turned out that besides making the emperor trust him, this journey also had this purpose.

Shangguan Xu still doesn't know what the emperor did these days following Yan Mu's disappearance, and when the incident in Luzhou broke out, he was not prepared at all, so he had no choice but to spit out this piece of fat.

"It's just that the governor of Luzhou and the warlord have stepped down, and you don't have anyone to fill in?"

"Even if I have someone in my hand, the emperor and Shangguan Xu will not let my people fill in."

"Then you are not working in vain?"

"What if I have a hidden card in my hand and they don't know it?"
