Chapter 305 Self-defeating
Du Yuanxiu only felt that the scenery was flashing before her eyes, and only the angry man in front of her was left in her sight.

He was like an enraged beast struggling on the verge of madness.Du Yuanxiu felt the scorching real temperature on his wrist, and was not intimidated by Dongfang Xu's anger at all. Instead, he cherished him more and more in his heart, as if his sadness was transmitted to his skin through his palm.

Passing through the woods, by the quiet lake, in the quiet garden, and finally came to the deserted yard, the man in front finally stopped, let go of his hand immediately, turned around angrily and looked at the woman in front of him, "How long have you been standing outside?"

Du Yuanxiu had never seen Dongfang Xu like this before, his eyes were filled with an undeniable light, although she knew that it was extremely rude for her to eavesdrop on the Queen's conversation with him, but Dongfang Xu cared very much. County Lord Yongji, Du Yuanxiu can't control himself whenever he encounters something related to Dongfang Xu.

"Your Highness... County Lord Yongji already has someone he loves, Your Highness will forget about her, don't torture yourself anymore." Originally prepared a bunch of comforting words, but at this moment they rushed out without thinking, Du Yuanxiu just Wanting to wake up Dongfang Xu quickly, there is no possibility between him and County Lord Yongji.

His Highness was too tired, he couldn't torture himself for an impossible thing.

"You, what are you talking about?" Dongfang Xu only felt that the anger that was originally full of heart was instantly crushed by a huge rock, and Du Yuanxiu couldn't stop crying, her eyes were full of sincerity, "Your Highness, the county lord Yongji has already had a crush on her." Man, why do you have to wait so hard? Your Highness should understand her, County Lord Yongji is not a person who will change his mind easily."

She didn't know where the courage came from, and she stretched out her hand to hold Dongfang Xu's arm, "Your Highness, Kingdom Chen needs you, Empress Empress and Your Majesty need you... And, there is also the child in my concubine's womb..."

However, Dongfang Xu threw her away, "Stop talking nonsense!"

"Your Highness, it's true! It was said by Yongji County Master himself and my concubine that she never loved His Highness from the beginning to the end..."

"Enough! I don't want to listen!" Dongfang Xu took a few steps back as if looking at some monster, unwilling to be touched by Du Yuanxiu. Such a reaction made the woman's heart ache. Alright, don't hold on to it any longer, even if the County Lord Yongji doesn't have His Highness, he will live a very good life, but the country of Chen Country cannot live without His Highness..."

Dongfang Xu's heart was in a mess, Yunshu...she already has a sweetheart?No, it's impossible, she never said it... Moreover, she has never been close to any man... Yes, Du Yuanxiu must be deceiving herself. Like other women, she wants to blind her eyes, I want to save myself by all means!
Du Yuanxiu was startled, because she clearly saw the undisguised disgust in Dongfang Xu's eyes.Your Highness, he... hates himself? !

"Your Highness, don't be attached to Yongji County Master anymore, I am a concubine, I really love Your Highness..."

But the man in front of him could no longer listen to any words, he staggered a little, turned around and left Du Yuanxiu's sight without looking back, leaving only the tearful woman staring at him stupidly In the direction to leave, he finally squatted down weakly, heartbroken.

All the scenery flashed across his line of sight, and Yun Shu's lightly smiling face appeared in his mind.

Is it because she has a man she likes, that's why she refuses to accept herself and turns a blind eye to her own wishes?Could it be that what she said before were all excuses to evade?What things she has to accomplish, what is the state of Chen, what is the responsibility of being a prince, is it just because of the person in her heart, not him? !

Dongfang Xu didn't know where he was at the moment, he stretched out his hand to support the tree trunk beside him, panting heavily, countless fragments flashed in his mind.

By the way, back then on the streets of Kyoto, she seemed to be looking for someone, and for the first time I saw a disappointed look on her face.Could it be because of that man? !
Countless possibilities emerged in Dongfang Xu's mind, who could it be?Who would that man be in Yun Shu's heart? !
He tightly clenched his fists in his sleeves, and suddenly, the queen's words flashed in his ears.

The royal father wants to marry the Lord Yongji to Prime Minister Ji...

The prime minister and Yun Shu went to the south of the Yangtze River to control the plague before, could it be that they got along day and night at that time, so that the two of them gradually got closer? !
Remember that the prime minister also reminded himself, don't forget the responsibilities on his shoulders, it turned out to be out of his selfishness? !He just wanted to make himself give up Yunshu, so he said so much truth!

At this moment, Dongfang Xu had already lost his mind. When the whistle sounded, a man in black appeared in front of him immediately.

"Take me to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

……

The Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the dead of night, in the study room, candles were lit, but the man in front of the desk had a few books spread out, but he couldn't read a single word.

The emperor's imperial decree has not come down yet, before that, Ji Jin felt that everything might change.In the past, he was very confident, but only meeting her made him so uneasy.

Can I really be that lucky?But Ji Jin felt a little worried, afraid that after the imperial edict was issued, what he got in return would be her hatred.

Can a woman like her really accept the arrangement of fate willingly?Ji Jin is not sure about Yun Shu's reaction after knowing this.

There was a rustling sound outside, Ji Jin slowly raised his head and looked out the window, only to see a figure standing under the moonlight in the quiet courtyard.

"who?!"

The guards in the mansion didn't notice it?Could it be an assassin.

Thinking of this, Ji Jin reached into the table and held a self-defense dagger.

However, the man in the courtyard was motionless. Ji Jin took a closer look and felt that the outline of the man was somewhat familiar, so he walked forward slowly until the expressionless handsome face appeared in front of his eyes.

"Your Highness?"

A look of surprise flashed across Ji Jin's eyes, and he opened the door to welcome him.

Standing in front of Dongfang Xu, the man's gaze was as deep as a lake, Ji Jin paused for a moment, then leaned over and saluted, "See Your Highness the Crown Prince."

However, there was no response from the top of his head. Ji Jin thought about the reason why the prince suddenly appeared here today, and a hint of joy immediately appeared in his heart.Presumably, it was for the affairs of County Lord Yongji.It seems that as I expected, the emperor decided to stand on his side, which made the prince anxious and annoyed to visit his prime minister's mansion.

"It's you, right?"

Ji Jin raised his head suspiciously, thinking about the meaning of his words.

"It's you, isn't it?" There was a hint of anger in the voice. At this time, Ji Jin had already stood up, shook his sleeves and looked calmly at the man in front of him, but didn't answer.

Dongfang Xu's hands in his sleeves were clenched tightly, and the aura on his body was changing rapidly. His brows and eyes were full of forbearance, but Ji Jin didn't know if he did it on purpose, and the corner of his mouth had already raised a smile.

This slight change made Dongfang Xu unable to bear the anger in his heart any longer. His eyes changed instantly, and he raised his fist and used all his internal strength to smash it at the face of the man in front of him.

Unexpectedly, Ji Jin didn't dodge, the fact that the prime minister didn't understand martial arts immediately appeared in Dongfang Xu's mind, and he immediately withdrew half of his internal strength, but this punch hit Ji Jin's face, and the man had nothing to stop him immediately He fell out, "Ahem..."

Ji Jin only felt that his jaw was about to dislocate, he spat out blood, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, but chuckled lightly, "Why is Your Highness so annoyed?"

Dongfang Xu heaved his chest and looked at the man who could still smile at this moment. In his opinion, that smile must be ironic and showing off, right?
"Why did you show up until today..."

"What do you mean, Your Highness, I didn't stand here very early." Ji Jin stood up slowly, his movements, which were obviously extremely embarrassing, were so graceful and calm.

He slightly shook his sleeves, and in the blink of an eye, Dongfang Xu had already rushed in front of him and grabbed his lapel, "Since you both share the same mind, why are you so slow to take a step forward, why..." Why did he get stuck? so deep?

Like-minded?Ji Jin immediately realized that the prince seemed to have misunderstood something.Maybe I have always been unrequited love just like the prince.

Ji Jin tried hard to stand firm, "Since this is the case, there is still time for His Highness to withdraw now."

There was a strong provocation in these words, Dongfang Xu's star eyes flickered, his lips were tightly closed and he couldn't say a word.

He was in too deep, and it was impossible to turn back.Only Yun Shu, he will never back down!
"Oh? Then what does His Highness plan to do? Give up the country of Chen, give up all the people? Just for your own selfishness?" Ji Jin suddenly pushed Dongfang Xu away, his eyes were instantly covered with anger, why did the prince come Now that he is so stubborn, he should understand that if County Master Yongji had the heart, he would have already stood by his side, why bother to struggle.

"You finally showed your true colors, Prime Minister Ji!"

Ji Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, "So what?"

"Okay, then today, the crown prince will compete with you!"

For a moment, the two men were entangled together, fisting and kicking under the moonlight without giving in.At this time, Ji Jin is no longer that frail scholar, and Dongfang Xu is also facing each other empty-handed, and the exchanges between you and me are very intense.

"I will never give up on her!"

"Your Highness, you should wake up!"

……

The next morning.

"My minister, see the emperor."

Above the morning court, the voices of all the ministers were loud, but Chen Huang's eyes fell on an empty seat in front of him, "Ji Aiqing didn't go to the morning court today?"

All the ministers peeped at each other, and there was a whisper immediately below.

"This is the first time!"

"Yeah, Prime Minister Ji has never been absent, what happened today?"

"Could it be that some accident happened, shouldn't it be..."

Everyone just felt that unless Prime Minister Ji was seriously ill, such a thing would never happen.

Sure enough, Emperor Chen was also full of doubts, "Does anyone know what happened to Ji Aiqing?"

And too in the womb.

"What? Your Highness is injured?!" Du Yuanxiu's heart skipped a beat, and the teacup in his hand immediately fell to the ground.
