Chapter 255 Gambling for Glory in Prosperous Times, Gambling for Life in Troubled Times
Listening to Xia Qingge's words, Shangguan Yan'er lowered her head and smiled.

"Miss Xia is modest."

Xia Qingge lowered her eyes and smiled when she heard the words, she slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Shangguan Yan'er said that she was modest, but today...she really wasn't, and she really hadn't figured out the purpose of Shangguan Yan'er's visit.

Just thinking about it, I heard Shangguan Yaner say.

"Miss Xia, although this is the second time we have met, Yan'er has heard everything that Miss Xia has done in recent days. Miss Xia is a smart person. Afterwards, when the young lady was taken into the sky prison, and until today, the young lady understands better than me what all this means."

For this, Xia Qingge did not refute.

The Hundred Flowers Banquet was the beginning of the turmoil, and after she entered the sky prison, Ye Tianjue muddied the water even more.

Because of the gold mine, all the princes are eager to move.

The game in the dark may also gradually surface.

The peace at this moment is just an illusion.

Storm, not too far away.

only……

Xia Qingge stared at Shangguan Yan'er slowly, "Miss Shangguan is afraid that she will get involved in this muddy water?"

"Yes."

Facing Shangxia Qingge's eyes, Shangguan Yan'er responded calmly.

She spoke without hesitation.

"The court is dominated by men. However, in order to balance the court, women are sacrificed too often. Many princes were involved in the Hundred Flowers Banquet. A gold mine in Fu'an County also locked many people. If I don't know how to protect myself at this time, I won't be able to protect myself after a while."

"What does Miss Shangguan know?"

"I do not know anything."

Shangguan Yan'er shook her head again and again, she let out a deep sigh.

"What I just said was what my father asked me to tell Miss Xia. It was also my father's intention that I came to see Miss Xia today. My father hopes that I can get sick as soon as possible, and I also hope that Miss Xia will be happy." .”

Hearing these words, Xia Qingge couldn't help being taken aback.

"sick?"

Muttering this word, Xia Qingge frowned, and then she quickly looked at Su Yi and the others.

"You all go and watch outside the door. Without my permission, no one will disturb you. Suchun, keep an eye on the dark place and don't let strangers approach."

"Yes."

Several little maids responded and quickly retreated.

Seeing that the door was closed tightly, Xia Qingge said, "Miss Shangguan, are you going to pretend to be sick? This..."

"I can't help myself."

Raising her hand to pour tea, Shangguan Yan'er's movements were gentle and smooth, with an elegant temperament.It's just that the smile on her face has become bitter.

"Our Shangguan family is from a scholarly family. My father is the emperor's teacher, with peaches and plums all over the world. Although my three older brothers are not as prominent as my father, they are still extraordinary. With such a wealth, not to mention being connected with all the courtiers and students. But it’s not much different. It’s an honor, but it’s also a source of disaster.”

This point, Xia Qingge knew clearly.

Not to mention those princes who are staring at the throne, have ulterior motives, and want to attract talents to help themselves every day, even she, if she is in her position, might join in the fight.

One position in the harem, one family in the front, and even more support from the family...

This deal is a surefire one.

In the previous life, Shangguan Yan'er was involved in the imperial power, her marriage was involuntary, and she died miserably at a young age, which is the best proof of the sinister world.

In this life, it might be different.

In his heart, Xia Qingge was happy to see a different ending.

It's just that she doesn't understand, "Qingge understands the thoughts of Lord Shangguan and Miss Shangguan, but Qingge doesn't understand, why did Lord Shangguan let Miss Shangguan find me?"

After all, they didn't meet.

Although Shangguan Yan'er is a daughter, she is the treasure of the Shangguan family. Shangguan Yi asked Shangguan Yan'er to come to her, and still wanted medicine for illness, so as to prevent the prince from soliciting marriage in this chaotic situation. Yan'er's wealth and life are all on her body.

Xia Qingge didn't think that with such a great ability, she could gain the trust of Shangguanyi.

Listening to the question, Shangguan Yan'er didn't hide it.

"Because my father said that Miss Xia is trustworthy and can be trusted."

"Oh?"

"Miss Xia, we are smart people who don't speak dark words. Miss Xia is a frank person. If you can help Mr. Yun, you can help me. If you can make a move, you will not regret it, let alone hurt me. And you Standing next to him is Lord Zhan, looking at Tianling, there are only a handful of people who can fight Lord Zhan, and among the princes, there are people who can become opponents of Lord Zhan..."

Shangguan Yan'er shook her head, her eyes were meaningful, but she didn't say the rest of the words.

But Xia Qingge understood what she meant.

In other words, she understood what Shangguan Yi meant.

It's just that Shangguan Yi can be the emperor's teacher, and he has peaches and plums all over the world. Apart from his good knowledge, the more important point is that he is well versed in the way of the emperor and his ministers.Although the situation is unstable at this time, it is not time to stand in line.If he wanted to help Shangguan Yan'er avoid marriage, according to Shangguan Yi's ability, he might not have to find her.

But he just let Shangguan Yan'er come.

To a large extent, this meant that Shangguan Yi had the heart to stand behind Ye Tianjue.

But according to Shangguanyi's shrewdness, how could he easily make such a choice, which is related to the rise and fall of the family?

One emperor and one courtier.

It would be fine if Ye Tianjue was in the top position, a person who has made great achievements in the dragon would not be able to run away from the Shangguan family, but if it was someone else... Shangguanyi's gamble might endanger the family.

It's a little strange for him to do so.

Xia Qingge looked at Shangguan Yan'er with burning eyes, she really couldn't figure it out.

On the contrary, Shangguan Yan'er smiled sweetly.

"Actually, the doubts in Miss Xia's heart are also the doubts in my heart. Last night, I asked Dad, but Dad only said one word to me."

"What?"

"Those who are worth following should be sooner rather than later, and those who are not worth following should be severed rather than connected. Life is always a gamble, betting on glory in prosperous times and betting on life in troubled times. Today's court is like It's a pot of boiling water, if you don't find a way out sooner, you will only be burned and caught off guard."

"Sir Shangguan has a clear mind and sees things clearly. If all the ministers and princes in the court have such a clear mind, how can there be troubles in the world?"

Unfortunately, there are only a few people who can see through the world.

And more people are blinded by power.

Listening to Xia Qingge's words, Shangguan Yan'er smiled lightly.

"Actually, my father's mind is clear. He got used to watching the changes in the officialdom and tempered it. Miss Xia has a clear mind and good luck. She followed the right person from the beginning. With Lord Zhan here, you can also Don’t think about these ways to save your life.”

"On the contrary, I am busy every day trying to save my life."

Her danger is far greater than that of Shangguan Yan'er.

However, she had no intention of complaining.

Looking at Shangguan Yan'er, Xia Qingge said in a low voice, "Miss Shangguan, why does Lord Shangguan want you to be sick?"
