The gentleness of the mysterious evil prince

Chapter 291 Really Valuable

Qian Diewu saw Xia Houyuan being so sad, and thought about the matter very seriously. After all, it must be a big deal to make a dignified prince feel like this, so she asked seriously: "What happened to make you so troubled? Didn't it happen yesterday? Are you okay?"

"I think you should have received the order to increase taxes?"

"Yeah, what does that have to do with you? You don't have to pay taxes anyway."

"The reason why the royal father increased taxes was because of a lack of money. The empress therefore proposed to the royal father that as long as the royal family holds a happy event, there will be a lot of people giving gifts, so the income will be quite large."

"and then!"

"Then I was turned into a tool for them to solicit money. I got the news secretly that the father had agreed to the queen's proposal and was going to give me a marriage. The woman was the daughter of the officials. As far as I know, the officials belonged to the queen Power, if I marry that woman, I will become the queen's marionette. Die Wu, what do you think I should do?" Xia Houyuan became more and more helpless as he spoke, with a strong resistance in his helplessness, but this resistance was suppressed , did not break out.

Now he doesn't have enough power to fight against the queen, if he openly opposes this marriage, I'm afraid it will be bad for him, and he is very likely to be demoted to a commoner like Xia Houhuang.

If it was before, he wouldn't care about it, but now, he is determined to win the throne, so he can't easily compromise.

Xia Houyuan talked about his difficulties, thinking that Qiandiewu would be like him, and felt that this was a big problem, who knows...

Qian Diewu didn't worry like Xia Houyuan, and said with a sneer: "It's such a simple thing, can you still be your third prince?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"I'll give you three suggestions. As for which one to choose, it's up to you. The first one is to find a way to get the prince's handle, so as to threaten the queen and reverse the situation; the second one is more cruel. Which woman will the emperor choose?" If I give you a marriage, you will kill her. If you don’t have a bride, how can you get married? The third is to abandon your status as a prince, leave the royal family, and be a commoner. Of these three paths, the first is the most difficult, and the The best, the third way, is the easiest, but you will lose a lot, as for the middle one, it’s too cruel, I think you probably don’t bother to choose it.”

"I understand, Die Wu, thank you." Xia Houyuan had no worries on his face, and showed a joyful smile.How easy is it that he still wants to ask her?It's ridiculous.

Maybe he thought of it a long time ago, just wanted to see her.

"No, I didn't help you with anything. If you need help, feel free to come to me... to me and Wuxuan, we will help you." Qian Diewu had a turning point in the middle of her speech, insisting on He described himself and Jimo Wuxuan as one.

Xia Houyuan understood the meaning of it. Although he felt bitter, he had to endure it. He couldn't help but look at Qiandiewu a few more times, but the more he looked at it, the harder it was to let go.

Suddenly, a violent and thunderous voice came out of nowhere, making the atmosphere tense.

"Xiahouyuan, why are you looking for my wife again?" Jimo Wuxuan came, and he was the one who asked the teacher to inquire about the crime. He came with a murderous look, stood in front of Qiandiewu, and stared at Xiahouyuan with gritted teeth.

Qian Diewu was worried that Jimo Wuxuan would do something, so she stood up and held his hand, comforting him, "Wuxuan, the third prince just came to talk to me, there is no other meaning."

"He just came to you yesterday."

"Yesterday was the wedding day of ignorance, it was different."

"I think the same." Jimo Wuxuan didn't listen, and chased him off without politeness, "Third Prince, you've pretty much said the matter, should you go back?"

"How do you know that I'm almost done?" Xia Houyuan asked with a smile.In fact, he already knew that Jimo Wuxuan was not far away, not only knew that Jimo Wuxuan was there, but also Shi Qingyun.

It seems that it will be very difficult to see Die Wu in the future.

"Anyway, I just know. Your problem is not a problem at all. I think you are taking this opportunity to meet Die Wu?"

"Wuxuan..." Qian Diewu couldn't do anything about her jealousy towards Jimo Wuxuan, but she cared about her performance, so she couldn't be angry with him, could she?

"Die Wu, this person has ulterior motives, you have to be careful in the future."

"This……"

Xia Houyuan didn't take what Jimo Wuxuan said to heart, took a deep breath secretly, and said goodbye in a gentle manner, "My problem has been solved, so I will leave first."

"Well, if you need help, come to us." Qian Diewu sent her back with courtesy, deliberately emphasizing the word 'we'.

If you don't emphasize it, I'm afraid someone will become jealous again.

"If it is not a last resort, I will not come to ask you for help. Let me leave." Xia Houyuan left the last sentence, then gave Jimo Wuxuan a deep look, then turned and left.

He should restrain his feelings for Die Wu, otherwise it will be even more difficult to deal with.

As soon as Xia Houyuan left, Jimo Wuxuan complained, "I come to you for help with such trivial matters, I think he is just looking for an excuse to visit you."

"Okay, don't worry about such trivial matters!" Qian Diewu coaxed her husband to make him less jealous.

Doesn't he feel sour after drinking vinegar all day long?
"Is it a trivial matter that someone is trying to trick my wife?"

"The third prince came to me because he had no other choice. Just treat it as doing something for the people of the world, okay?"

"Why do you involve the people of the world?"

"If the third prince becomes emperor in the future, the people will be able to live in peace and well-being. If we help him, it will be equivalent to helping the common people in the world, isn't it?"

"Who can guarantee that he must be Mingjun?" Jimo Wuxuan's jealousy still did not disappear, but it became smaller, knowing that Shi Qingyun was hiding in the dark, he said displeasedly: "Shi Qingyun, how long do you want to eavesdrop?"

Shi Qingyun was about to slip away quietly, but he was called out, so he had no choice but to show up bravely, and said with a sneer: "Hehe, I just happened to pass by, just passed by."

"is it?"

"Of course, I still have something to do, so I won't bother you." Shi Qingyun thought that Qiandie Dance would punish him for eavesdropping, so he just found an excuse and slipped away, but nothing happened afterwards, which made him feel a little strange.

Has the eldest lady's temperament changed drastically, why didn't she target him?

Qian Diewu had no intention of punishing Shi Qingyun at all, and was already used to his behavior, so he treated it as a normal matter, remembering what Xia Houyuan said just now, and said worriedly: "Wuxuan, the emperor is so short of money, it must be because alchemy costs a lot If it continues like this, the emperor will attack Mo Castle sooner or later. If the emperor really gets the elixir, I guess it means that the good times of Mo Castle are coming to an end, and we should make plans as soon as possible."

When it came to business, Jimo Wuxuan stopped being childish and jealous, and seriously discussed with Qiandiewu, "Do you have any good plans?"

"Where do you hide all of Mo Castle's property? Especially cash."

"It's all in the treasury, and a small part is elsewhere."

"Find a safe place and transfer the silver in batches. If I'm not mistaken, Mo Castle should have a secret passage, right?"

"Would you believe me if I said no?"

"I don't believe it." Qian Diewu replied decisively, and continued to talk about her strategy, "The secret passage is kept open at all times. If there is really a large army to encircle and suppress, we don't have to fight head-to-head. We leave from the secret passage. The people in the castle are also evacuated in batches Bar."

Jimo Wuxuan flicked Qiandiewu's forehead with his hand as a lesson, "Look at what you said, it seems that the sky is about to collapse. Even if the sky really collapses, I will support you for you, don't you worry about it?" What?"

"I'm worried that you won't be able to stand it, and you will be crushed by this day. In short, I won't let you take any risks. You can live an ordinary life, but life must not be used as a joke."

"I know, I know, but nothing has happened yet, why are you in a hurry? As long as the emperor's elixir of life fails, Mo Castle will not be in danger easily, and this elixir of life..." That will never be possible Made things.

Qian Diewu knew what Jimo Wuxuan was thinking, for his safety, she said even if it was a treasonous thing, "Then how long do you think the emperor can protect Mo Castle?"

The implication is that the emperor has a limited lifespan.

She doesn't think that the emperor can really live forever, on the contrary, she's afraid that the time of death is not far away.

"I understand, I will take you to a place tonight."

"Where?"

"You will know tonight. It's getting late, let's go back to have dinner." Jimo Wuxuan didn't say anything, and walked away with Qian Diewu, thinking about what she said just now.

The situation in Kyoto is about to change, so he doesn't know it.

Looks like it's time to get ready.

When Xiahouyuan came out of Mo Castle, he was immediately stared at. Although he found the person staring at him, he pretended not to see him and walked into the palace.

At this time, it is of no benefit to him to startle the snake.

Xiao Zhou anxiously waited for Xia Houyuan's return in the palace, and when he saw him, he was so anxious that he didn't even care about etiquette, and said in a panic: "Your Highness, Third Prince, you are back."

"What's going on, are you so anxious?" Seeing Xiao Zhou's anxiety, Xia Houyuan unconsciously became a little anxious.

The things that can make Xiao Zhou anxious, I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter.

"My servant heard from the maid in the empress's palace that the empress advised the emperor that if you refuse to marry according to the order, you will be asked to arrest Jiang Yeli. You can choose one of the two."

"The queen's scheming is really deep enough." The queen probably found that he and Shennongyizhuang could get along, and was afraid that he would get help from Shennongyizhuang, so she wanted to cut off the hand that hadn't become his arm first.

Sure enough, it was cruel enough.But he is not vegetarian either.

"Third Prince, Shennong Yizhuang once helped you. If you go to arrest Jiang Yeli, I'm afraid you will offend them. Moreover, I heard that Jiang Yeli is Qiandiewu's adoptive father. If you and Shennongyizhuang As an enemy, if you go to capture Qian Die Wu, wouldn’t you also be an enemy of Mo Castle?" The more Xiao Zhou thought about it, the worse he felt.Previously, he thought that with the help of Shennong Yizhuang and Mo Castle, the third prince would be able to win the crown prince and seize the throne.

It seems that he thought things too simply.

Xia Houyuan was not in a hurry, and said calmly, "Xiao Zhou, have you done everything I asked you to do before?"

"What is the third prince talking about?"
