Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1259: Nothing special 2
Although this matter did not ultimately come to a conclusion, it did not prevent everyone from being excited because the King of Qin was about to leave Chang'an. But even so, after almost everyone had left the Prince's Mansion, Yu Mingyue's expression did not ease.

The only one left was Prince Qi Yuwen Cheng. He asked the servant to change his cup of tea for him. He drank it while smiling and said, "Is the Crown Princess still angry? It's just a small matter."

Yu Mingyue asked, "That Xiao Yuansui, does he really not know about Madam Weifeng?"

Yuwen Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "He has been imprisoned in the Dali Temple cell, how could he know about the canonization outside?"

"Won't the people at the Dali Temple tell him?"

"Well-"

"I think he did it on purpose!"

Yuwen Cheng picked up the cup and drank the last bit of tea, then stretched and said, "What does it matter whether it was intentional or not? He is our man now, why should the Crown Princess bother with him about this?"

Yu Mingyue gave him a gloomy look and shut her mouth.

She was furious, but she had no way to vent it. She felt so anxious that she could only reach out and take a sip of the teacup on the table. As soon as the tea entered her mouth, she flew into a rage and threw the cup, "Why is it cold?"

Upon hearing her angry curse, the maid outside hurried in, knelt down and kowtowed.

"Princess, it was my negligence."

"Bastard thing!"

Yu Mingyue had been holding her breath since the beginning, and now she just let it all out. She picked up the cups and plates at hand and smashed them hard at the maid.

"what!"

The maid was hit on the forehead by the cup and saucer, and immediately a trickle of blood flowed down. She knelt on the ground screaming and kowtowed repeatedly: "Princess, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

Yu Mingyue was still furious and was about to order someone to drag the maid away and beat her with a stick. At this moment, Yu Wencheng, who usually enjoyed beating servants in his house, said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, it's just that the tea is cold. In such a hot day, drinking some cold tea can make people feel less irritated. Why bother with her?"

Yu Mingyue realized that she had lost her composure and waved her sleeve fiercely: "Get out!"

The maid was as if she had been pardoned. She hurriedly covered her face and tried to leave. But Yuwen Cheng stopped her and said, "Please bring me a cup of tea."

The maid had no choice but to tremble and come forward to refill his teacup. Yuwen Cheng looked at the gash on her forehead, the blood flowing down and staining half of her face red. She was so frightened that her face turned pale. She looked particularly miserable and pitiful. But he laughed instead, and took out a jade token from his sleeve and threw it to her: "Take it, this is a reward from the king."

The maid couldn't believe it. She took the jade token and looked at him with wide eyes: "Your Highness——"

"Why, don't want to?"

"No, no, thank you, Your Highness, the Prince of Qi, thank you, Your Highness, the Prince of Qi!"

The maid kowtowed repeatedly, and she looked as if she had just gone through a trip to the Palace of Hell and suddenly arrived in heaven. She walked out with unsteady steps. Looking at her back, Yuwen Cheng chuckled softly, then picked up the cup that seemed to still have a hint of blood in it and took a sip.

After all this commotion, Yu Mingyue finally let out a sigh of relief. But when she looked at Yu Wencheng, who seemed to be in a good mood and relaxed, she suddenly sensed something and said, "Third brother seems... very satisfied with today's arrangements?"

Yuwen Cheng looked at her with a smile: "Why should I be dissatisfied?"

Yu Mingyue frowned: "Do you admit it?"

"..."

Hearing this, Yuwen Cheng did not respond immediately, but took another sip of tea, put down the cup and looked up at Yu Mingyue, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "What does the Crown Princess mean by this..."

At this moment, Yu Mingyue also completely sobered up and said, "Last time, didn't you say that letting the King of Qin go to Luoyang was like letting a tiger go back to the mountain?"

"..."

"Why, with Xiao Yuansui, it's not the same anymore?"

Yuwen Cheng said with a smile: "It's rare that sister-in-law can still remember what I said." "You——"

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I didn't say it's not the case now."

"So what are your plans?"

"Now, letting my second brother go to Luoyang is still like letting a tiger go back to the mountain, but the difference from before is that now we have someone who can kill the tiger in our hands."

Hearing this, Yu Mingyue's eyes lit up: "You mean, Xiao Yuansui?"

Yuwen Cheng laughed and said, "Otherwise, Crown Princess, why did I first mention killing him and then ask Father to pardon him? This man is related to the hearts and minds of most people in the Twelve Guards. Wouldn't it be a pity to kill him easily? But if he is put aside and not used, it would be even more of a pity to let a pearl be covered in dust and a sharp sword be sheathed. "

Yu Mingyue asked, "You want to use him to deal with the King of Qin?"

Yuwen Cheng smiled and said, "This guy is not an ordinary person. He was able to make such a big splash in Wanggang Village and Luoyang before. If he is given a little more opportunity now, he may be able to achieve more."

Recalling what Xiao Yuansui had just said, Yu Mingyue's originally calm mood was once again filled with evil fire, and she said coldly: "He is indeed not an ordinary person. Can an ordinary person lose to Yuwen Ye at Hulao Pass with such a huge gap in strength between 100,000 and 3,000?"

"..."

"I think he's just so-so."

"..."

"Now you actually want to use him to deal with the King of Qin. I think you'd better think it over carefully. You couldn't win before, and you can't win now."

Although Yu Mingyue had always been resentful towards Yuwen Ye, after the battle in Luoyang, she realized that it was too difficult to get rid of him on the battlefield. This man was like a god possessed when he went into battle, and he would never lose no matter how hard he fought. Moreover, Yuwen Cheng wanted to rely on someone who had already lost to him, which was just wishful thinking.

Yuwen Cheng said, "Of course he can't win alone."

Yu Mingyue was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Yuwen Cheng said, "Let me ask you, who drove my second brother out of Chang'an today?"

"Of course it's Father."

"That's right. No matter how powerful and glorious his military achievements are, he is still the son of the emperor and a subject. He still has to obey the emperor. As long as the emperor is unhappy, he will be nothing more than a piece of fish on the chopping board."

Yu Mingyue understood a little: "You want father to do something to him as well?"

Yuwen Cheng said: "Only if father also takes action against him, we will have a chance of winning."

"..."

Yu Mingyue frowned.

After a long silence, she said, "But third brother, you have to understand that even though the King of Qin has gone too far this time, the Emperor only asked him to leave Chang'an and go to Luoyang in ten days. After all, he is the father of you three brothers."

"..."

"How can you make the emperor take action against him?"

Hearing this, Yuwen Cheng laughed instead and looked at her with a leisurely look: "Yes, under what circumstances do you think the emperor would take action against someone?"

Yu Mingyue's breath was choked.

"rebel?!"

There will be more later, happy holidays everyone!
