Concubine Jinghua: The black-bellied prince, please stay here

Chapter 87 A Man With Brains And Skills

There was not much to say along the way, after the carriage traveled for two hours on the road, it finally arrived at the Xiao Mansion.

Fang Chuchu wrapped her plain white embroidered brocade cloak tightly, and followed Ye Chenshuo out of the carriage.There are already many people waiting at the gate of Xiao Mansion.Fang Chuchu looked up into the crowd, and met a pair of dark and deep eyes.

She pursed her lips, gritted her teeth, and squeezed out a bright smile at the owner of those eyes.

Now she has learned the truth from Ye Lingxu, and knows that Xiao Ying was also designed by someone.In this case, she will no longer regard Xiao Ying as an enemy, and there is no need to have bitter and deep hatred for him.

Xiao Ying didn't expect that Fang Chuchu would smile at her, his handsome mature face was reddish, and the Danfeng eyes slanted into his temples showed a little embarrassment, he quickly lowered his head and lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Fang Chuchu again.

Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao naturally did not dare to offend Ye Chenshuo, so after exchanging pleasantries, she led Ye Chenshuo and his party to invite him to Xiao's residence.Fang Chuchu looked at Xiao's mansion curiously all the way.He is indeed the richest businessman in Youzhou City.The entire Xiao Mansion occupies a huge area, with grand decorations, corridors, rockery gardens, verandahs, and pools, which are comparable to Prince Jing's Mansion.

Master Xiao led Ye Chenshuo and the others into the dining room. Businessmen always like to settle things at the dinner table.But Ye Chenshuo didn't seem to be in a hurry to reveal his purpose, but started talking with Master Xiao.

After the meal, Fang Chuchu didn't even see Fang Xueyuan, and she couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

After the meal, the butler of the Xiao Mansion personally took them to live in the Tingfeng Pavilion, which was specially designed to entertain distinguished guests.Liu Qianqian was having a deep affection for Ye Chenshuo at the moment, and she tried her best to entangle Ye Chenshuo, but Ye Chenshuo was entangled by her and couldn't leave.Finally at night, Ye Chenshuo found time to visit Master Xiao.

And Fang Chuchu was placed in a small cold courtyard in Tingfeng Pavilion.The night was cold, and the bright white moonlight poured down on the courtyard. Fang Chuchu lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep.He simply put on some clothes and sat up from the bed.

When Yilan opened the door in her night clothes, Fang Chuchu was already wearing her clothes and sitting by candlelight reading a book.

"Ma'am, we have already found out. Xiao Ying lives in..." Yilan truthfully told Fang Chuchu the results of her night out for reconnaissance.After Fang Chuchu finished listening, her light eyes narrowed slightly, and she began to meditate... The night was getting dark, a figure in maid clothes sneaked out of Tingfeng Pavilion, and went to the inner courtyard of Xiao Mansion... the same piece of night light Next, Xiao Ying sat weakly in the wheelchair, looking up at the night sky.

There is a cold moon in the sky, and the night breeze is cool, blowing the petals on the branches.

"Qi Yun, you're here!" Hearing the rustling sound behind him, his eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly.

"No, I'm not Qi Yun." A cold female voice sounded slowly.

Xiao Ying's body froze, and he turned his head slowly in disbelief.

At this moment, the turbulent night wind blinded his eyes.

"Long time no see." Under the moonlight, Fang Chuchu pursed her lips and smiled softly at Xiao Ying, looking generous.

"You...you..." There was a happy smile on Xiao Ying's lips, and those deep eyes were like a whirlpool, trying to wring people into it. "Why are you here?" He restrained his beating heart and tried his best to calm down his excitement.

Fang Chuchu looked up at the clusters of flowers with drooping branches on Xiao Ying's head, took a few steps towards Xiao Ying's wheelchair, and said straight to the point, "You should think it's strange, I Why did I come to you in the dark. Actually, I want to ask you for a favor."

help?Xiao Ying's eyes were as bright as stars, and he said with a little hope, "If there is anything that can help you, just say it." During the days when he came back from Prince Jing's mansion, he almost lived like a year.Knowing that she was not doing well in Prince Jing's mansion, his mood also became heavy.

Obviously she would be his Xiao Ying's wife before, but why did she let him have an old illness on the day of his wedding.

If he hadn't fallen ill then, then the woman standing quietly beside him now would be her, not that woman Fang Xueyuan.

However, this is all hypothetical.

What was supposed to never happen.

Seeing her being treated like that in Prince Jing's mansion, he felt even more annoyed at Ye Chenshuo.

Fang Chuchu's eyes flickered slightly, she raised her head and looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, she politely walked a few steps towards Xiao Ying's side, looked at him lightly, smiled lightly, and said deeply, "Young Master Xiao, I believe you are a gentleman. I also know that you will not tell a third person what we are talking about tonight. What I want to tell you is very simple, but it is also very important. The court wants your Xiao family to Take the lead in donating money, and I hope that your Xiao family can cooperate with His Highness King Qin this time. If possible, His Highness King Qin will send someone to talk to your Xiao family."

After Fang Chuchu finished speaking, her bright eyes lit up to see what kind of reaction Xiao Ying would have.

Frankly speaking, at this moment, after listening to Fang Chuchu's words, Xiao Ying was stunned and didn't react at all for a while.

It took a while before I came back to my senses, but the first sentence I spoke was not about what Fang Chuchu said just now, but, "When did you become a member of His Highness King Qin?" She was a woman and child , it stands to reason that it is impossible to get involved with the affairs of the court.But... a light flashed in Fang Chuchu's eyes, and he looked up at the few lonely stars in the night sky, "You misunderstood. I am not from His Highness King Qin, and he and I are just in a cooperative relationship."

"But...His Royal Highness, how did you meet him?" Xiao Ying asked anxiously.It doesn't matter whether he is King Qin Ye Lingxu's person or just a cooperative relationship with King Qin, in short...if Ye Chenshuo finds out about her, the consequences for her may be very bad.

Fang Chuchu smiled wryly, and replied meaningfully, "An enemy's enemy is a friend."

Although Xiao Ying doesn't care about his official career, he is a member of the Xiao family after all.He still knows something about the court.

The Chaotang——is more dangerous and bloody than the Jianghu outside.But those who can call the wind and rain in the court, their hands have never been clean.

But today's court hall was divided into two.

One faction is based on Concubine Rong Ye Chenshuo as the main civil servant. They win over powerful officials and confuse the king, and they hold great power.The other faction is the military generals headed by His Royal Highness Ye Lingxu. Although the power of this faction in the court is not as high as Concubine Rong and the others, they have soldiers in their hands.Therefore, the emperor did not dare to cut off their military power easily.

He really didn't expect Fang Chuchu and Ye Lingxu to get together.In his opinion, neither Ye Chenshuo nor Ye Lingxu are good people.

And if she cooperates with any of them, it is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger, and she will lose miserably in the end.

He looked up at Fang Chuchu who was bowing his head under the Huajian tree, his eyes gradually darkened, and he said worriedly, "It is rumored that King Qin... has a lonely personality, arrogant and arrogant behavior, and is an unfathomable person. You and If he...cooperates, he may...will harm you. You...be careful."

Fang Chuchu smiled shyly, "I think His Royal Highness King Qin is a good person. Although his actions are unpredictable, he saved me when I was in the most difficult time." It can be said that she was able to cooperate with Ye Lingxu because she actually made money. up.She was originally a person who had nothing but hatred. If it wasn't for Ye Lingxu, she might have died in that small courtyard of Prince Jing's mansion by now. "I am very grateful to him. This time, he asked me to tell you. He hopes that your Xiao family can cooperate with him. As for the conditions put forward by your Xiao family, he will try his best to fulfill them."

Xiao Ying sensitively heard the deep meaning of her words.He narrowed his eyes slightly, pursed his pale lips, and said in a trembling voice, "You seem to respect him very much."

Fang Chuchu smiled lightly, and replied generously, "His Royal Highness King Qin is not bad." He is a man with brains and means.

Xiao Ying felt that his throat was dry, and he asked tentatively, "So, you... like him like that?"

After asking this question, he anxiously observed the expression on Fang Chuchu's face.And Fang Chuchu was slightly stunned by his words, her bright eyes dimmed instantly, and her eyes turned black.

She is very self-aware, and knows that wherever she goes now, she will be scolded as a broken shoe and a bitch.

She may never have anyone she likes in her life.

As for Ye Lingxu, fortunately Xiao Ying can think of such things, she and Ye Lingxu are worlds apart, she just admires Ye Lingxu more.Ye Lingxu is a strong man, and a strong man is always admired.

Xiao Ying saw that her expression seemed to have dimmed a lot, his heart sank, and the plain white hands under the sleeves began to pick at the armrest of the wheelchair, and said dully, "Ye Lingxu doesn't seem to be a reliable person, he It's the prince, there will definitely be concubines in the future, and the Sangong Sixth Courtyard will still be the same as Ye Chenshuo now. You..." It's not suitable for him.

"It's okay." Fang Chuchu raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Ying.

She and Ye Lingxu are only in a cooperative relationship. Even if Ye Lingxu really becomes the emperor in the future, with three thousand beauties in the harem, she should not worry about that.As long as she cooperates with Ye Lingxu to take revenge, the rest is out of her jurisdiction.

Xiao Ying lowered his head even lower, his slightly pale face was as miserable as white paper at the moment, clenched his fists tightly, his nails were embedded in his flesh, and the pain was painful, "You should think about it more. That person It's really not very reliable." The most ruthless emperor's family, some men are destined to be cold and mean all their lives.Women are just tools to them.

"He's...maybe just using you..." Xiao Ying clenched his lips, and finally said what was in his heart.

Fang Chuchu smiled wryly, and raised her head to meet his gaze, "I know this very well. But if I think about it the other way around, I'm not using him. Hmm. How should I put it, the two of us are using each other."

"But he can't bring you any good." Xiao Ying's deep pupils were covered by a touch of sadness, and he looked at Fang Chuchu with such despair and sadness.
