Chapter 620 The Contest between King and Minister (4k words)
Feng Qingyan and the others got off the bamboo raft on the shore of Qianshan Lake, and then passed through the dark and dark forest of black mist, and successfully entered the forest outside the Temple of Ten Thousand Monsters.

While walking forward, Feng Qingyan looked at the surrounding scene, she was no stranger to this place.

"Sister Yan, I didn't tell them you're here. Only Uncle Shanshan and the others know about it. If you go there now, they will be very surprised." Nuanzhi whispered into her ear quietly. .

"Okay." Feng Qingyan pursed her lips, and although she only answered one word, the smile on her face was very gentle.

The Wanyao Palace is a big palace, and the forest outside it stretches for thousands of miles. Thousands of ghost clansmen chose to live in one place and built a small village. They are self-sufficient here, and their usual days are very harmonious. .

When Feng Qingyan came to the vicinity, they were shocked when they saw her, and they were stunned for a while, but after a while, there was a burst of joy in their hearts.

"I have seen the Lord of the City!"

Their attitudes are very respectful, although Feng Qingyan always tells them not to be too polite, but they don't listen.

The Lord City Master will always be the Lord City Master. She is not only the City Master of Youdu City, but also their benefactor.

The children like to surround Feng Qingyan, she sits with them when she has nothing to do, and gives them some specially brought candies, and the playful Liuying has already taken the initiative to mingle with the children.

-

Go to the capital, idle the prince's mansion.

On the way back to the dormitory, Yingfeng and Shishi followed Ye Yunshen's instructions and took the opportunity to leave quietly.

After bathing and changing clothes, Shiwu, who knew a little about medical skills, checked Ye Yunshen's condition. When he knew that he still had internal injuries, his expression was slightly stunned.

"It's just a cold, just ask someone to grab a few doses of medicine." Sitting on the couch, Ye Yunshen withdrew his hand, and gently pulled his sleeve to cover his whitened wrist.

"Yes." Fifteen didn't dare to ask any more questions, but reported, "This subordinate will prescribe a prescription later."

The Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Yingfeng, and Yingyue were all trained by Ye Yunshen at the beginning. There is no need for Ye Yunshen to explain how to do some things. They all understand it themselves. .

Fifteen quickly retreated, and Ye Yunshen sat alone on the cloud couch, raised his hand, and brushed a pot of red plum tree beside him with his slender fingers, wondering what he was thinking.

Not long after, the housekeeper came in and said, "Your Majesty, someone came from the palace and said that His Majesty wants to see you."

Ye Yunshen's eyes darkened, he gathered his jade fingers together, withdrew his hand from the red plum tree, brushed off a few red plum petals, then got up, and walked out steadily.

"Get ready and enter the palace in a while."

What should come will come sooner or later, Ye Yunshen didn't think about running away, and was even ready to face it.

……

After entering the palace, Ye Yunshen went straight to the imperial study room. On the way, he saw Wei Qifan and the fourth prince walking by not far away. The two were talking about something. Look away.

"Devil's ginseng is used as medicine, I've heard of it..."

Wei Qifan smiled lightly, and continued walking with Su Shi'an. After getting along for a month or two, the two became friends, and they often met and talked.

Su Shi'an treated Wei Qifan very well. Wei Qifan was not used to it at first, but gradually, she accepted his kindness, and even took the initiative to approach him.

"This devil's ginseng is rare. I've only heard about it. I didn't have much hope at first. Cough cough cough..." Su Shian was weak, panting for three steps and coughing for five steps, especially in this winter, the cold wind She coughed when she blew a little, but insisted on going out with Wei Qifan.

"Fourth Prince, I'm really sorry for your inconvenience. Look at the cold weather..." Wei Qifan's expression became more apologetic, and she wanted to say something to Su Shi'an, but her eyes inadvertently glanced at the person who was walking by not far away. The night is cloudy.

After her eyes fell on him, she couldn't look away for a while, her expression froze for a moment, the words she was about to say suddenly stopped, and her steps slowed down involuntarily.

I once said that I would let him go, but now I still can't help but want to take another look at him. Looking at his determined back when he walked away, I suddenly don't know what to say.

At first, she saw the light in his eyes with unconcealable heat, but now there is only sadness spreading from the bottom of her heart, telling her not to think about it anymore.

That man was excellent, but he couldn't belong to her.

Su Shi'an followed her gaze and saw Ye Yunshen in a moon-white brocade dress.

"It's rare that King Xian came back, but no one even noticed. He didn't wear the red clothes he used to wear today, but changed into white clothes that win snow. Open your eyes, I almost thought I recognized the wrong person just now."

The only girl here is Wei Qifan. When she heard this, she regained her senses, and then turned her gaze away.

She smiled cooperatingly: "Yeah, I almost thought I was wrong, but I heard that His Majesty called him back to Beijing a long time ago, and it's only now that he arrives, so I'm afraid it's too late."

"I haven't seen the princess." Su Shi'an's weak and pale face evoked a weak smile, "The princess is stunning, and the idle king is also a hero, but it's a beauty pass."

Wei Qifan's expression changed, she really didn't want to hear any praises for Feng Qingyan, other people would just let it go, but these words came from Su Shi'an's mouth, inexplicably, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

"What princess? Your Highness has forgotten that she is a witch of the ghost clan. Maybe she has been bewitching King Xian all along. Otherwise, His Highness Xian Wang, who has never been close to women, is so fascinated by her?"

There was still a bit of jealousy in her tone, Su Shi'an was stunned, and then smiled weakly.

"Who is King Xian, I am afraid that he is not bewitched by others, but that he knows everything and still indulges himself.

"If the beauties of Jiangshan had to choose one, he would just choose the beauties who are said by others to be a disaster for the country and the people. But what's wrong with this? It was a choice between the two."

Wei Qifan's words fell into Wei Qifan's ears and moved her heart a little, but before she could taste anything, she heard him say again: "I am really envious of King Xian, who doesn't pay attention to fame or fortune, and lives a happy life." Chic and casual. If I had the right to choose, I would definitely choose the one I like..."

"Huh?" Wei Qifan was stunned when she suddenly heard him say the word "Sweetheart", she turned to look at him.

Suddenly, he coughed violently and almost lost his balance, but Wei Qifan reached out to support him.

"Quickly, call the imperial physician, go—"

The two young eunuchs behind were a little flustered, one supported Su Shi'an, and the other went to call the imperial physician.

……

Ye Yunshen came to the Imperial Study Room, far away from the door of the main hall, when Eunuch Lu who was standing at the door looked out, he saw him.

Eunuch Lu turned around, took another two steps forward, and said to Nanyue Emperor who was standing above him and writing seriously, "Your Majesty, King Xian is here."

Hearing this, the Nanyue Emperor's writing action suddenly paused, and then a drop of ink fell on the rice paper, gradually smudged, and this rice paper was just useless.

"Did you see Lan Qing?" He put the brush on the table while opening his mouth, then stretched out his hand to pull out the waste paper, opened his eyes and looked carefully...

"I haven't seen the princess." Eunuch Lu replied.

The big characters on the rice paper read "Serving the country with loyalty and dedication". The writing is vigorous and powerful. But it was ruined by the ink dripping on the last "country".

The Nanyue Emperor didn't know what kind of emotion was in his heart, he just looked at those words and sighed: "It's a pity."

With a wave of his hand, the rice paper in his hand was thrown on the ground. He sat down on the dragon chair and said, "Let him in."

After Ye Yunshen entered the hall, he directly bowed to the Nanyue Emperor with the courtesy of the old monarch and minister.

"Sir, see Your Majesty." His voice was calm.

The Emperor Nanyue sat on the upper seat, looked at the person who saluted him, and thought of something, for the first time, he let Ye Yunshen just kneel like this, and didn't let him get up.

I haven't seen each other for a few months, and the ruler and minister who used to talk about everything have long been unfamiliar, and there is a gap in their hearts.

When Ye Yunshen was in Youjing Sanzhou, he not only resisted the decree, but also blatantly helped the ghost clan. Regarding his actions, the Nanyue Emperor was angry more than once.

But there was nothing he could do about him, and he could only store up the undispelled anger in his heart until now.

As for what the Nanyue Emperor did, Ye Yunshen probably wouldn't buy it either, so it was an inevitable result that this monarch and his ministers would come to where they are today.

"King Xian." With a soft call, the Nanyue Emperor was in a state of confusion and coldly, "Where is Lan Qing?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, she didn't go back to Shangjing." Ye Yunshen held both hands in front of him, and he didn't raise his head when he spoke. The respect in the past had long since disappeared in his tone, and some of them were calm after lowering his head temporarily. Move like a mountain.

"Where is she? Didn't I tell you to come back together? She is still Princess Lanqing of Nanyue, and her uncle is the Minister of Rites of Nanyue..."

The Nanyue Emperor's tone was filled with restrained anger.

"Return to Your Majesty, she is in Chu Xi Country, and I have not informed her of this matter. In addition..."

After a pause, Ye Yunshen straightened his back a little, and raised his head: "Whether Lan Qing is still the princess of Nanyue, I believe His Majesty will know better than the minister. Didn't His Majesty order to declare to the outside world a long time ago that Lan Qing The princess has already been taken away by the demon, is he dead?"

The words he said fell into the ears of the emperor. It is not impossible for someone else to be dragged out and beheaded in a rage, but he is an exception.

"King Xian, you are getting more courageous." The Nanyue Emperor clenched his hands together, the bones were slightly white, and the slightly trembling hand represented the forbearance in his heart.

He was angry not only because of Feng Qingyan's failure to return, but also because of Ye Yunshen's attitude.

He ignored his will not to bring Feng Qingyan back, but he still talked to him like this.

Did he get used to him all these years so that he was so lawless?

Does he still have the emperor in his eyes? !
"Heh." Suddenly sneered, Ye Yunshen couldn't help but sneer, "If you don't have the guts to be bold, how did you conquer the world of Nanyue for Your Majesty?"

The Nanyue Emperor clenched his hand tightly, then loosened it again.

It's impossible for him not to hear that Ye Yunshen's words are just reminding him that if it wasn't for him, Ye Yunshen, how could Nanyue Kingdom have the world it is now, and how could he, the emperor, become the king of such a big country?

Of course, this point has always been remembered very clearly in the heart of the Nanyue Emperor, so he has always understood that Ye Yunshen cannot be easily moved over the years.

He alone took over half of South Vietnam.

The Emperor Nanyue suppressed the anger in his heart and forced a smile on his face, "I was thinking that if Lan Qing would return, I would decree to marry you two. My honorable princess in Nanyue is also the city lord of the ghost clan who has been feared in the past few months, so how can it be unsuitable."

His tone and attitude softened. Comparing his previous attitude towards his marriage with Feng Qingyan, Ye Yunshen didn't understand Nanyue Huang's forbearance.

He also took a step back, his tone more respectful, and said: "Since I know that your majesty has such a good intention, then I will ask your majesty for a reward here, why don't I propose a marriage between my majesty and Lord Lanqing today?" Although she is not here, I will take over for her."

Nanyue Emperor's mouth opened slightly, but he couldn't utter a word. He noticed that the person Ye Yunshen was talking about was City Lord Lanqing, not Princess Lanqing.

The difference of only one word is a world of difference.

"Idle King, are you making an inch?" he asked.

"How could Your Majesty say that?" Ye Yunshen asked back without haste, and said: "It was His Majesty who said the marriage was proposed, and I just followed the trend."

The Nanyue Emperor flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly.

He thought about it again, and felt that Ye Yunshen's words were wrong.Feng Qingyan is the city lord of the ghost clan, Nanyue has no control over her marriage, but if he is willing to give Ye Yunshen and Feng Qingyan a marriage, then as long as Feng Qingyan takes over, it will be equivalent to the marriage between Nanyue and the ghost clan .

Among them, there are advantages and disadvantages.

As for the Nanyue Emperor, once his decree was bestowed, if Feng Qingyan, who is the lord of the ghost clan, accepted it, it would mean that even the ghost clan would have to give Nanyue some face.

What's more, Ye Yunshen said that this is following the trend, which is considered to be catering to his intentions, and if he is willing to accept his offer of marriage, it seems to be telling him that you are the king, and my minister will eventually be the minister.

On this point, the Nanyue Emperor was quite satisfied.

However, if he did this, it would also mean that Ye Yunshen could marry Feng Qingyan openly.

Such a step back can not only please the king, but also embrace the beauty, is it a good show that kills two birds with one stone?

Wrong, killing three birds with one stone is still to come.
