Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1234 Let the tiger return to the mountain
When mentioning the King of Qi, Yuwen Ye's eyes became deeper.

"Yan Jie..."

Shang Ruyi said: "From his performance in the Luoyang battle this time, you should be able to see that his opposition to you has nothing to do with the Crown Prince or even Han Yuhui. Some people in this world are born loyal, while others are born rebellious."

"..."

"Unfortunately, the King of Qi is the latter."

Yuwen Ye moved slightly, but did not stand up or leave Shang Ruyi.

Shang Ruyi knew that it was his words that made him uncomfortable. After all, Yuwen Cheng was his brother, and his biological brother from the same mother. Saying that Yuwen Cheng was born to be rebellious was like saying that Madam Guan gave birth to a bad seed.

Although this sounds harsh, it is an indisputable fact.

In fact, Yuwen Ye realized this earlier than Shang Ruyi, so he taught Yuwen Cheng carefully when he was young - but because he often followed Yuwen Yuan on expeditions, such opportunities were rare; when Yuwen Cheng grew up a little, he saw through his true nature and used many drastic measures, such as the time when he almost killed him outside Tinghe Tower, all in an attempt to turn his younger brother back from the evil path.

Now it seems that all these thoughts and efforts have been in vain.

Yuwen Ye asked, "Do you think Yan Jie will be an obstacle to this matter?"

Shang Ruyi shook his head gently: "He will be like a knife against your heart."

"..."

"With him here, even if we go to Luoyang, there will still be no peace."

Yuwen Ye slowly frowned, and his already deep pupils became dark and lifeless at this moment.

The next day was a cloudy day. Thick dark clouds hung over the sky above Chang'an City like a huge black hand. There was not a breath of wind in the city. The green leaves on the treetops seemed to be frozen in a dead silence that made people feel inexplicably suffocated.

The two people sitting in the lobby of the Prince's Mansion also had gloomy expressions.

A maid came in cautiously and served tea to the guest: "Your Highness, Prince Qi, please have some tea."

Yuwen Cheng waved his hands impatiently, and the maid turned around to look at the Crown Princess sitting opposite him. Yu Mingyue's face showed a suppressed anger, and she also waved her hands. The maid retreated as if she had been pardoned.

Yuwen Cheng didn't drink the tea either, he just asked, "Sister-in-law, where is my brother?"

Yu Mingyue said: "He is in his - he will come out in a while."

Yuwen Cheng frowned impatiently, then took a sip of the teacup. He was not used to the light taste, so he put the cup back dejectedly. Speaking of his elder brother and sister-in-law, even from his perspective, who was not very interested in love, they were almost completely mismatched except for their family backgrounds. After all, his brother devoted his first half of his life to Buddhism and even served Buddha with his body. He really couldn't understand why he would bring back such a woman and marry her.

If at the beginning, the eldest daughter of the Yu family had some actions that made people look favorably upon her, now it seems that apart from her background, she is almost like everyone else.

The only thing that made Yu Wencheng feel that the two of them were a good match was their taste in tea.

But this is not because the two people have similar interests, it's just that Yuwen Qian likes plain tea, while Yu Mingyue is not used to tea with other condiments.

The tea was not to his taste and there was nothing to say to Yu Mingyue. Just when Yu Wencheng was getting a little impatient, footsteps were finally heard outside the lobby. Yu Wencheng immediately looked up and saw Yu Wenqian's handsome and elegant figure slowly walking in.

He did not need to dress neatly at home. He only wore a white robe. Although it was more gorgeous than when he was a wandering monk, it also restored some of his former tranquility.

And as soon as he walked into the lobby, a faint fragrance immediately wafted out from his sleeves.

Yuwen Cheng snorted lightly, then stood up and saluted him.

Yuwen Qian raised his hand to signal him not to be polite, then sat down in his seat. He only looked at the two men's solemn and slightly anxious expressions, and asked, "Third brother, is there anything?"

"what's up?"

Yuwen Cheng was a little annoyed, and as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice couldn't help but be a little sharp: "The outside world is about to be exposed, and you, my royal brother, are still so leisurely chanting your Amitabha?"

Yuwen Qian lowered his eyes and did not respond to his words. Instead, he waited for the maid to come in again and serve him tea. He picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying slowly, "I didn't chant the Buddha's name."

Yu Wencheng frowned: "You didn't chant the Buddha's name? Then what's with all this sandalwood on you?"

Yuwen Qian said: "I didn't chant the Buddha's name."

Yu Mingyue on the side didn't say anything, but when she heard him repeat twice that he didn't recite the Buddha's name, her face turned a little ugly.

Yuwen Cheng frowned, but did not dwell on the issue any more. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, I don't care whether you chant Buddha or not. Father wants to let my second brother go to the Eastern Capital and give him Luoyang and several surrounding cities. You don't know this, do you?"

Yuwen Qian's long eyelashes trembled slightly. The hot steam from the teacup made his pupils seem to be covered with a layer of light mist, making it difficult to see what he was thinking deep in his heart at the moment. He slowly put the teacup back on the table, thought for a while, and then said, "That's good."

"Alright?"

"Yeah, that's fine."

Yuwen Qian said, "Luoyang originally belonged to him - you two conquered it together, and the emperor appointed him as the Grand Chancellor of the Eastern Shaanxi Road. With his arrangements there, we can hardly interfere with Luoyang's affairs. If he really wants to go, it's just giving him what originally belonged to him again. And he will never interfere in Chang'an's affairs again."

As he spoke, he looked up at Yu Wencheng and Yu Mingyue: "This is also a peaceful arrangement for us."

Yu Mingyue frowned and said nothing, but Yuwen Cheng could no longer hold back. He suddenly jumped up from his seat, walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, then walked in front of Yuwen Qian and looked down at him: "Brother, are you confused from chanting the sutra?"

Yu Mingyue immediately said: "Your Highness the Prince of Qi!"

Yuwen Cheng did not look back at her, but stared at Yuwen Qian's translucent eyes, which seemed to be calm and indifferent, and said solemnly: "Do you think that father only wants him to go to Luoyang alone? No, father wants him to bring all the people in the Qin Palace, and even select ministers and other soldiers to follow him! Letting him go to Luoyang like this is like letting a tiger return to the mountain!"

"..."

"Do you think that a small Luoyang can satisfy him?"

"..."

"Do you think that after he has built up his power in Luoyang, he will not want to set foot in Guanzhong again?"

"..."

"Do you think he can really tolerate you ascending to the throne?"

The last sentence almost tore the prince apart, and even tore apart the dignity of the imperial power. No matter how calm Yuwen Qian was, he couldn't help but frowning slightly. He looked up to meet his third brother's eyes, but he didn't look into his eyes immediately. Instead, he looked at the end of Yuwen Cheng's eyebrow that was missing a part - the scar, which was not deep, made the end of his eyebrow have a gap like a sharp knife, but also made his entire eyebrow look as sharp as a knife, and even when he stared at people, his eyes looked ferocious and terrifying.

Yuwen Qian said calmly: "It is not up to him to tolerate it or not. All of this was arranged by the emperor."

Yuwen Cheng sneered, "How many of my father's arrangements have been trampled and crushed by him? Do you really believe that my father's arrangements can suppress him? If that were the case, how dare he set fire to the Luoyang Treasury under my nose? And how dare he cause such a big incident after my father issued an order to dispatch Shentu Tai and Pei Xingyuan to Luoyang."

Hearing this, Yuwen Qian's eyelashes trembled slightly again.

He raised his head again to meet Yuwen Cheng's sharp gaze and said, "The scuffle between the Qianniu Guards and the Xiaowei Army happened only yesterday. We only learned about this news last night. How did you know that the emperor wanted Fengchen to go to Luoyang?"

"...!"

Hearing his question, Yu Wencheng's eyes flickered and he turned his head to avoid his sight.

Yu Mingyue on the side also looked at Yuwen Cheng with a bit of confusion - even they didn't know this news, but Yuwen Cheng already knew it, so he was well-informed.

But now is not the time to worry about this.

Yu Mingyue also stood up and walked in front of Yuwen Qian, saying in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the most important thing now is how to deal with the matter of the King of Qin going to Luoyang."

Yuwen Qian glanced at her calmly and lowered his head: "What do you want?"

Yuwen Cheng said: "It's not what we want to do, but as the crown prince, you have to plan for your future!"

"Third brother,"

Yu Mingyue held down his restless hands, then turned to look at Yuwen Qian and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, what the King of Qi said is not without reason. If the King of Qin really goes to Luoyang, it is the most prosperous and wealthy place in the world. It was a place that Chu Yang spent so much effort to build. If he really lets him rule the country there, will you still be able to hold your position firmly in Guanzhong in the future?"

Yuwen Qian said: "So what you mean is——"

Yu Mingyue's eyes darkened: "We can't let him leave Chang'an!"

Yuwen Qian thought quietly for a while, then said, "This matter was decided by our father. He wanted to separate my second brother from us to avoid a terrible fight. So if we want to ask our father to take back his decision, it is almost impossible."

Yuwen Cheng said coldly: "Who said we should start with our father?"

Yuwen Qian frowned slightly and looked at him: "Could it be that you still want to attack Feng Chen?"

Hearing this, Yu Mingyue turned to look at Yuwen Cheng, with a ray of joy in her eyes - she had always believed that attacking Yuwen Ye was the most direct way, after all, if he was gone, there would be no threat. But Yuwen Qian had always refused to follow her plan, so Fufeng, Taiyuan, and Luoyang had missed too many such opportunities.

It would be great if Yuwen Cheng was willing to do this now!
Yuwen Cheng smiled coldly: "I have my own arrangements, I hope my brother and sister-in-law can follow my instructions."

Yu Mingyue was about to respond to him, but stopped and looked at Yuwen Qian. Yuwen Qian looked at his third brother in silence. After a long while, he sighed softly, with a hint of indifference in his eyes: "Okay."
