Book with Emperor

Chapter 140 The Third Son of the Yue Clan
Seeing Qin Guanyue's calm expression after she finished speaking, she knew that she knew about it a long time ago, so she couldn't help being curious, "Aren't you jealous?"

"You don't have to tell others if you're jealous."

"Really, I don't think you will be jealous, because you don't like the young master at all."

Qin Guanyue smiled, "Your young master should be sad after hearing this."

"The three sons of the Yue family, the eldest son is extraordinary in skill and fought in the battlefield, the second son was born with precocious wisdom and extraordinary resourcefulness, both of them became famous when they were young, but the third son is mediocre."

Cen Wu didn't notice it, and continued, "The prince once said that the third son is soft-natured, sincere and kind, and he is a rare innocent person in the Yue family. The young master is exceptionally tolerant and gentle, and everyone in the palace does not want him to face blood, but in the end, he is the one who lost everything."

There was a touch of melancholy in her words, as if she was recalling the people she spoke of, and seemed to be mocking the tricks of fate, making the most protected person the one who experienced the most suffering.

"My father died on the battlefield. I have been fighting with the eldest son since I was fifteen years old. I have watched the third son grow up. At that time, no matter how embarrassed we were on the battlefield, we always changed into clean clothes when we returned, lest he see you. Worry."

Cen Wu laughed, "Do you believe it, but a child in his early ten years dares to say that he wants to protect the entire Yongzhou?"

Qin Guanyue said, "I believe, he has always been that kind of person."

"But the affairs of the world are never controlled by a soft and kind heart."

Cen Wu said slowly, "Back then we all knew that no matter whether the lord's actions were successful or not, the third son would not be the one to hold power, because he was too kind, too easy to trust others, and too easy to give his sincerity. Man can never stand in that unique seat, he cannot afford it."

"Did Prince Qing say this himself?"

Qin Guanyue looked back at her without hesitation, "Then I can only say that he doesn't understand his son either. The most powerful person is never a cold-blooded and selfish person, but a person who wants to protect in his heart and keeps moving forward to live people."

"He is very strong. He is the strongest person I have ever seen. Because he is protected, he wants to protect others. Because he was surrounded by kindness since he was a child, he can live so strong, even if he is the only one left in the Yue family."

"Such a person can protect you, Yongzhou, and the entire Daxi."

"..."

Cen Wu looked at her for a long time without speaking, her glazed eyes were stained with the red sunset in the sky, like the never-ending smoke of the frontier.

She raised the corners of her mouth and showed a narrow smile, "Of course I know, he is named Yue."

Qin Guanyue turned her head away and continued walking.

A voice came from behind, and Cen Wu followed her, "I heard that the young master saved you back then? Are you doing it to repay your kindness?"

No one answered her, she curled her lips, and consciously changed the subject, "Why did the prince's side concubine mention the prince's official affairs to you for no reason?"

Qin Guanyue snorted lightly, "It's all about submitting a certificate of honor, I want to sell favors to let me join the prince's camp.

"He is already a prince, and he still manages it so painstakingly?"

"It is precisely because he is the prince that he has to work hard to ensure that he will not fall."

"King Ke is not enough to be an enemy."

"...King Ke?"

Qin Guanyue shook her head with a half-smile, her eyes were dark, "The biggest obstacle to the crown prince's succession has never been King Ke, but the person on the throne now."

Gong Yue once said that some emperors are for the merits of thousands of years, some emperors are for glory and wealth, and some emperors, such as Ning Zhao, he doesn't care about Ning's family or Daxi, he only cares about whether he can be listed in the history books. Leave your name, even at all costs.

Cen Wu's eyes were strange, "Did Gong Yue tell you?"

Qin Guanyue asked back, "How can you see that?"

"There is only one person in the world who knows Ning Zhao best, and that is Gong Yue."

"...Why?"

"You do not know?"

"He never took the initiative to mention Ning Zhao to me."

"In the past when the first emperor was alive, Ning Zhao was only the son of a court lady, and he was powerless and unfavorable. Then he got the help of Qin Tianjian, and it happened that the prince died in battle, so he became the new emperor."

She emphasized the word "chance", without concealing her sarcasm towards Ning Zhao, "In order to ensure the continuous prosperity of Daxi, Emperor Wu of the founding of the country ordered Qin Tianjian to choose a wise emperor, to assist him loyally, and not to favoritism. Instead of choosing a wise and virtuous prince, he chose a bastard."

Qin Guanyue didn't comment, but asked directly, "Do you suspect that Gong Yue is playing for selfishness?"

"if not."

"Conspiracies and tricks are also strength. Those who show the sun and the moon may be sages, but they cannot be kings."

Qin Guanyue didn't refute. She didn't think Ning Zhao was useless. On the contrary, apart from Gong Yue, Ning Zhao was the most difficult person she had encountered since time travel. It was never luck that he could inherit the throne.

Cen Wu kept a stern face and said nothing, his eyes fell on the Emperor's Mansion not far ahead, "He really trusts you, and allowed you to take Shuanghanzhou away, not even letting anyone who watched you go."

"Let go, half of the Lingyun riders were taken away by me."

"..."

After being stunned for a moment, Cen Wu smiled and stopped, "Okay, go in by yourself."

Qin Guanyue nodded, turned around and left, but was stopped again.

"Anything else?" she asked.

Cen Wu stared at her for a while, then suddenly asked, "Do you have any thoughts about the throne?"

Qin Guanyue was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud.

Cen Wu touched her nose in embarrassment, turned and left.

Qin Guanyue looked at her back, a gust of cool wind came from somewhere around her, she turned around and went back to the house, but saw Xie Heng standing at the door with an anxious expression on his face.

"Master Emperor."

He looked at Qin Guanyue expectantly, and tentatively said, "I don't know if you still remember what you promised Xiaosheng yesterday..."

Qin Guanyue walked and said, "Today I went out and met the crown prince's side concubine. She told me that the crown prince has been busy dealing with people related to He Lianying recently, and he is heartbroken. There is also a mother and son among them."

Xie Heng's face turned pale, he clenched his fists, and did not speak.

Qin Guanyue asked, "Why do you think she said this to me?"

Xie Heng's tightly pursed mouth slowly opened, and his voice was hoarse, "I've made my lord suffer..."

"Although you are ignorant, you are not rigid, which is why I am willing to help you."

Qin Guanyue took the wet towel handed by Miaomiao and wiped her face, and sat down slowly, "You have knelt in front of my house for a long time, and you know everything you need to know. But two lives are really okay for me." I did it, but I owe the prince a favor, and even in the eyes of His Majesty, I was labeled as a princeling, and it will be a matter of time before His Majesty does not use me."

Xie Heng knelt heavily, kowtowed three times with a pale face, and did not speak.

Qin Guanyue looked down at him for a moment, then helped him up with her own hands, "Remember what you said."

Xie Heng's lifeless eyes burst out with hope in an instant, and the eye circles turned red. He lowered his head and wanted to kneel again, but she stopped him.

Qin Guanyue said indifferently, "Your knees are worthless, what is valuable is your fame, and the spring is coming, and the seat of Shaoqing in Dali Temple is still vacant."

Xie Heng suppressed his sobs, and said in a deep voice with red eyes, "I will definitely live up to the high expectations of the emperor!"

Qin Guanyue smiled, and asked someone to send him away, when she suddenly remembered something, "How is Frost Cold Continent?"

Miaomiao shook her head, "I haven't woken up yet. Doctor Qu has just left. He said that the eyes can't be cured. The Gu on his body will slowly get rid of it. It will take about half a month. Just keep drinking the medicine. Please don't rush him."

"Where is Xiao Sheng?"

"Thank you son and leave."

She paused, "Which Mr. Xie?"

"Xie Yu, Mr. Xie, my lord's junior."

"He left?" Qin Guanyue frowned, "When did he leave? Why didn't I know?"

Miao Miao was a little scared, "I just found out about half an hour ago, and I guess Young Master Xiao will be back soon."

Qin Guanyue stopped in her tracks, half an hour was enough for the two of them to leave the city, and it was too late to chase them.

Thinking of the meal last night, she felt a little uncomfortable.

It's not that she didn't notice the disappointment on Xie Yu's face, but Xie Yu and Xiao Sheng are different. Sooner or later, she and Qin Tianjian will go on opposite sides. She doesn't want Xie Yu to be soft-hearted towards her, otherwise she can't guarantee that she won't He will take advantage of his feelings for himself, and it will only be more embarrassing then.

"My lord?" Miaomiao looked at her, "Have you had dinner yet?"

Qin Guanyue shook her head, and went to the East Wing to look at Shuang Hanzhou. The hidden weapons beside the bed were all safe, and the person on the bed was also unconscious.

The sword god in white lay there quietly, his eyes were covered with a white cloth, and the pillow was frosty by his hand.

The number one swordsman in the world, if he wakes up and finds himself blind, he doesn't know how he will react.
