The most beloved princess in the prosperous world

Chapter 141

In the guest room of an inn in Xuncheng, Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue were sitting and talking, and Yu Wufan and Yu Wuhen pushed the door open and went in.

Seeing the two people coming, Yu Wujue and Ruan Fu both looked over, Ruan Fu saw the expressions of the two, and smiled, "How is it?"

Yu Wufan nodded, "Xu Yuan'an did go to meet Prince Han in secret. The two met in the post station in Xuncheng for more than an hour before Xu Yuan'an came out. However, Xu Yuan'an was obviously not in a good mood when he came out. .”

Ruan Fu smiled, "Xu Yuan'an came here on orders, and he came prepared, so he hurriedly wanted to win over South Korea for cooperation before Crown Prince Han entered Huadu, but he just wanted to avoid suspicion, but, South Korea also has its own considerations, Crown Prince Han is a smart person, so naturally Xu Yuan'an won't be able to make Xu Yuan'an feel that South Korea is anxious to rub against Nan Hua."

Yu Wufan frowned, looked at Yu Wujue, "Fourth brother, what should we do next?"

Yu Wujue said from the side, "Wait and see what happens."

Yu Wufan choked, but only heard Yu Wujue say thoughtfully, "It is said that among the gifts that South Korea brought to the Alliance of Nations this time, one is a golden silkworm garment that is rarely seen in South Korea."

Both Yu Wuhen and Yu Wufan stared at Yu Wujue with wide eyes in disbelief, why did the fourth brother know what gifts others brought to the meeting even though the fourth brother hadn't done anything?

Yu Wujue obviously didn't feel that he knew too much, and said slowly, "There is only one piece of golden silkworm clothes all over the Central Plains. It is recorded in ancient books that golden silkworm clothes are invulnerable to swords and guns, and water and fire are incompatible. This king really wants to see this golden silkworm robe." What does a silkworm garment look like?"

Hearing this, Ruan Fu reminded lightly, "Generally, the gifts brought by the envoys of various countries are presented as prizes during the alliance. If you want to meet, my lord, you can wait until the alliance."

Yu Wujue shook his head, looked at Ruan Fu, "It was different then."

Ruan Fu was speechless, she never knew that Yu Wujue was so interested in treasures recorded in ancient books such as Jincanyi, but obviously she was not very interested, so it was wise to put Yu Wujue The biased thinking was pulled back, and he said, "Although Crown Prince Han is a smart person, since Chuzhou, South Korea is at the end of the road and has no choice. It is hard to guarantee that there will be no deal with Nanhua."

Yu Wujue said, "What does Ruan'er want?"

Ruan Fuyang smiled, "Xu Yuan'an is a member of the Xu family, the most prominent family in South China, who is quite capable. He is the cousin of Queen Xu. Over the years, Huangfu Yu has also trusted him very much. However, after years of development, , Xu's prestige in Nanhua is also too great, I said before, Huangfu Yu is arrogant and self-respecting, the most unbearable thing is that the ability of his subjects is higher than that of the imperial power, this Xu Yuanan..."

Yu Wuhen and Yu Wufan were listening to Ruan Fu's words, Yu Wufan said, "Changqing, do you want to use Xu Yuanan?"

Ruan Fu shook his head, "It's not that I want to use Xu Yuanan, but to let Huangfu know that Xu Yuanan is also a threat to me."

Yu Wufan still looked at Ruan Fu with some puzzlement but Ruan Fu stopped talking, turned to Yu Wujue and said, "It seems that we need to go out tonight."

Yu Wujue nodded his head, as a response.

On the other side, in an inn in Xuncheng, after Xu Yuan'an returned to the inn where he was seated, his face was a little gloomy.

"My lord, Prince Han..." Following behind him was an accompanying official who was also ordered to come to want an alliance between the two countries in secret before South Korea entered Huadu. Some things and certain times made South Korea a sharp sword against Xiang Chen.

However, today's talks were obviously not very successful, and Prince Han is not a simple person.

Xu Yuan'an said in a low voice, "Don't worry, no matter how many conditions South Korea puts forward, there are only two ways for them. If you can't use lures, you can just threaten them."

"It's just that, if that's the case, what if South Korea falls to Chen Country's side."

Xu Yuan'an snorted softly, "Fall to Chen Guo? Chen Guo will swallow them up sooner or later. South Korea just wants to wait for us to offer more conditions, but obviously, they overestimate themselves."

Hearing this, the officials behind Xu Yuanan had no choice but to keep silent. In fact, South Korea doesn't know that the cooperation is only temporary. We, Nanhua, also want to swallow South Korea, don't we?However, it is still very difficult now.

He sighed secretly, but he didn't say anything more.

Xu Yuan'an said, "We have a long-distance relationship and a close relationship, even if we Nanhua can't have any relationship with South Korea, what the emperor means is that there must be no better relationship between Chen Kingdom and South Korea. Tomorrow, I will meet Prince Han again." .”

"Yes."

In the posthouse in Xuncheng, Prince Han was followed by an elderly minister, who was one of the envoys who followed Prince Han to Nanhua to participate in the Alliance of Nations. He followed Prince Han with a serious expression on his face, "Prince What do you think of Nan Hua's proposal?"

Prince Han is already an old man, and his words and deeds are more calm. He didn't rush to answer the old minister's question, but said slowly, "What do you think, my lord?"

The old minister shook his head, his expression was still so dignified, "The prince must understand Nanhua's heart. Seeing that the original Eastern Chu has now become a Chu state of Chen Kingdom, who doesn't have some considerations in his mind? Now, Nanhua is now sure." Even if we Korea, we just want to borrow our Korea to plant a sharp sword in the eastern part of Chen Country."

A smile rose from the corner of Crown Prince Han's lips, "Sharp sword? Now I don't know whether we, South Korea, can become a sharp sword."

"Prince!"

Prince Han shook his head helplessly, "Since Nanhua took the initiative to reach out to form an alliance with South Korea, he also sent Xu Yuanan over this time, which shows the determination of the Emperor Nanhua, but...it is not what it used to be, Nanhua at this time has already It’s not the time when Emperor Zhaolie is still here, the Meng family is gone, I don’t know if Huangfu Yu has regretted it.” After a pause, Prince Han continued, “The current situation in South Korea is really a bit embarrassing, no matter whether it cooperates with Nanhua or not, In fact, for us in Korea, I'm afraid it won't end well."

The veteran also understands this meaning in his heart, but he just thinks of the strength shown in Xu Yuanan's tone when he came here today, and he is also faintly worried. South Korea is a small country, and in comparison, it is even weaker. For a long time, a weak country has no diplomacy. what.

"If we reject Nanhua, we will inevitably have to work hard. I'm afraid that Nanhua will make some moves. If we accept Nanhua, Chen Guo's side is also an uncertain factor." The old minister said in a worried tone.

Prince Han was silent for a long time. It's not that South Korea has no determination to rule the roost, and it doesn't mean that small countries in this world have no chance at all. It's just that the current pattern of the Central Plains has undergone tremendous changes. With the incident of Eastern Chu, South Korea ...It can only survive in the cracks between the great powers.

Seeing Prince Han, the veteran sighed softly, and said, "Rong Chen will think about the countermeasures when he goes back."

Prince Han nodded, and went straight to his room in the posthouse.

He just stretched out his hand and opened the door, and saw that there was already a stranger's aura in the originally dark room, Prince Han's expression was slightly restrained, and two people flew out from behind him, one of them blocked in front of him, The other person quickly moved towards the figure in the room.

However, it was obvious that the people in the room were ready to deal with such things, only to hear a muffled voice, and a slightly cold voice with a smile at the same time, "Come before you are invited, and I still want to see the prince." Forgive me."

After all, the vague figure in the room had already stood up first, and then felt the surroundings brighten, and everything in the originally dark room was reflected in the eyes.

Prince Han squinted his eyes, and looked at the elegant man sitting at the table, and the young man who stood up and lit the candles.

The two people inside are Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue.

Yu Wujue was naturally as usual, still as gentle as jade, Ruan Fu smiled, obviously he didn't think there was anything wrong with appearing so abruptly in someone else's room as a guest.

The hidden guard who was rushing towards Yu Wujue had already been suppressed by Yu Wujue. At the moment when the candle was lit, the person guarding Prince Han was about to speak out, but was blocked by Prince Han's hand Living.

"Prince." The dark guard said puzzled.

Prince Han was vigilant, but he realized that the two people in the room did not intend to attack him, even the hidden guard who rushed in first was suppressed and was not injured, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Where are you two? "

Ruan Fu glanced at the guard who was eager to protect him, and said with a slight smile, "I'm next to you, Ruan Fu."

The shock in Prince Han's eyes passed by, he frowned and looked at the two of them carefully, and then gradually recovered, the corners of his lips pulled slightly, "It's surprising that King Jin and Ruan Tongzhi are here, it's just this way of visiting , something is wrong."

As soon as Prince Han's words came out, the guards beside him looked at Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue more vigilantly.

Yu Wujue didn't make a sound, but Ruan Fu said, "It's a last resort, otherwise Prince Han probably doesn't want Master Xu Yuan'an to know that I and the prince have visited the prince at the inn."

Prince Han squinted his eyes, and waved his hands towards the two hidden guards. Seeing this, the dark guards retreated knowingly.

Ruan Fu has already returned to the seat, sitting on the chair next to Yu Wujue.After the initial adventure, he also recognized these two people, and Prince Han's expression returned to normal. After sitting down on the seat, he said without hesitation, "Now that all countries have gone to Huadu, if If I remember correctly, the journey from Yongjia to Huadu does not pass through Xuncheng, I am afraid that the world would never have imagined that King Jin and Ruan Tongzhi would appear in Xuncheng."

Ruan Fu sat beside him drinking tea calmly, but Yu Wujue was not really silent, and said leisurely, "Perhaps, people in the world would never have imagined that Nanhua even secretly sent Xu Yuan'an to Xuncheng to welcome the crown prince in person."

Prince Han's expression changed slightly, looking at the calm expressions of Yu Wujue and Ruan Fu, everything seemed to be clear in his eyes.

His expression was only stiff for a moment, and then he smiled, "King Jin is really well-informed."

Ruan Fu said, "Since this is the case, the crown prince must have had a very happy conversation with Mr. Xu."

Prince Han was noncommittal, "Since Nanhua is the host, since he is going to send people out of the city to meet him, Mr. Xu is only here to meet me in Korea. King Jin and Ruan Tong know if they are in the team, and they probably don't know that Emperor Nanhua also sent people to meet your country's envoys. Bar."

Of course, no one would believe what he said, but no matter how he guessed in secret, he still had to do what he said on the surface.

Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue didn't care about it, and said with a leisurely smile, "Really?"

Prince Han squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them, "I don't know why the two of you came to visit late at night? If the Emperor of Nanhua knew that King Jin and Ruan Tongzhi had left the team so recklessly and entered Nanhua in advance, I'm afraid it would not be a good thing."

"Thank you for reminding me, the prince, I and the prince will be careful, besides, I believe that the prince is not the kind of talkative person." Ruan Fu said lightly.

The corners of Prince Han's mouth stiffened slightly, isn't he a talkative person?What's more, what can he say? If he found out that Chen Guo, these two destructive people, appeared in Nanhua and had contacted him in advance, wouldn't it make people doubt himself even more?

In the end, Crown Prince Han smiled wryly, "You two might as well explain why you are here."

Even at this time, Prince Han understood that there should be no conflict with these two people.

Since he was here to discuss matters, Ruan Fu was naturally unambiguous, looked at each other with Yu Wujue, and said with a faint smile, "The prince is a sensible person, and neither I nor the prince like to waste time. To speak in secret, the crown prince does not need to make false claims with me, as far as I know, Master Xu and the crown prince had a... profound conversation today."

Prince Han's complexion changed slightly, but Ruan Fu ignored the change in Prince Han's expression and continued, "If I guess correctly, Nanhua probably wants South Korea to be a sharp sword for him in Chen Kingdom."

Prince Han squinted his eyes, "I never knew that Meng Changqing, who is praised by everyone, speaks so groundlessly."

Faced with Prince Han's vigilance, Ruan Fu was obviously very calm, and he was not even half affected by Prince Han's emotions, and continued, "Since the prince believes in Meng Changqing's ability, he knows that what I said is not groundless, but I don't know the prince. how about?"

After a long silence, Prince Han said, "As expected of Meng Changqing, Ruan Tongzhi is so transparent about things?"

Ruan Fu curled his lips into a smile, "The prince is too well-known, and he just changed positions. Based on the current situation, it is already expected that Nanhua will send someone to see the prince. After all, if I were in Nanhua's current situation, I would probably make that decision."

Prince Han narrowed his eyes, "It seems that Ruan Tongzhi has a good understanding of the courtiers in Nanhua and even the court situation."

Ruan Fu shook his head, and asked repeatedly, "I don't know how the prince thinks about Nanhua's matter?"

Seeing that Prince Han was silent, Ruan Fu was obviously not in a hurry, "If the prince has not considered it well, you might as well listen to the opinions of my subordinates."

Prince Han looked at Ruan Fu and signaled Ruan Fu to continue. Ruan Fu smiled and said, "I think that instead of cooperating with Nanhua, South Korea should turn to Chen Kingdom."

Prince Han stopped listening, and chuckled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Could Ruan Tongzhi be joking?"

Ruan Fu obviously didn't think there was anything wrong, "The prince is a smart man, and Nan Hua is not a good partner no matter in terms of geography or formal strength."

"Knowing what Ruan Tong said, I will mistakenly think that Chen Guo doesn't have any thoughts about South Korea."

Ruan Fu shook his head, "Every country competes, and anyone without ambition will become a loser in history. I just remind the prince that he should make a better choice for his country. South Korea can choose Nanhua, but the prince I also know that South Korea, Nanhua, and Chen Kingdom are currently geographically related. South Korea can cooperate with Nanhua to face Chen Kingdom together. However, if something happens, I am afraid that Nanhua will push South Korea first. get out."

Prince Han narrowed his eyes. He naturally understood this truth. Between Nanhua and Chen Kingdom, there is clearly a situation where one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Only the two can survive. Although the conditions offered by Huangfu Yu for this alliance are very attractive, but he Why don't you understand that once a conflict breaks out in the future, South Korea will be the first to bear the anger.

only……

Prince Han said with a smile, "Ruan Tongzhi's words are reasonable, but Dongchu is already a lesson from the past, so how can I trust your country?"

"The crown prince must have misunderstood it. Dongchu is not a lesson for South Korea. Perhaps Dazhou is the one that the crown prince should learn from."

Prince Han's face changed, "Ruan Tong knows what he meant."

Ruan Fu said, "I don't have any other intentions. The prince should be safe and don't be impatient. The prince must know better than anyone why Chuzhou has become what it is today. Our country Chen has no intention of spreading the flames of war to all parts of the Central Plains. No matter what the future holds, If it can maintain the peace of South Korea, Chen Country is not willing to destroy it, and what Nanhua promised to your country, perhaps, Chen Country can provide more."

After being silent for a while, Prince Han looked at Yu Wujue, "Can Ruan Tongzhi's words represent the meaning of His Royal Highness King Jin?"

Yu Wujue looked calm, slowly playing with the cup in his hand, "What she means is what I mean."

Prince Han looked at the two of them for a while, and then smiled, "I have made an agreement with Nanhua first, and now I am talking to you two, if you change your mind midway, I am afraid that you will not be happy to see them. "

Ruan Fu seemed to laugh, as if he didn't care about it, "The prince can think about it, it may take a long time, but this alliance lasted for two months. After two months, maybe the prince's thoughts, That changed quickly."

Hearing Ruan Fuyouyou's words, Crown Prince Han frowned subconsciously, but Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue obviously didn't want to say more, they both stood up together, "Prince, think carefully, I and the prince will wait for you at any time. "

After all, Yu Wujue had taken Ruan Fu and left quietly.

Only Crown Prince Han still couldn't react to what Ruan Fu said before he left, he just frowned, his eyes flashed with thought, and he stood up after a while, and went out.

In the same late night, in Huadu, in the imperial palace, Qifeng Palace, the dark night is silent, everything is quiet, a man and a woman are sleeping peacefully on the bed, but, suddenly, the person who was originally sleeping but obviously did not sleep soundly The man sat up abruptly, "Meng Ruan!"

This exclamation with a tingling taste seemed to wake up the woman beside her. Xu Yue sat up and looked at the sweaty Huangfu Yu, "Your Majesty..."

Huangfu Yu turned his head suddenly, and looked at Xu Yue with a pair of sharp eyes, which made Xu Yue's face stiff.

It took a while for Huangfu Yu to come back to his senses, as if he breathed a sigh of relief, "Queen."

Only then did Xu Yue lightly stroke Huangfu Yu's back, "What did the Emperor dream about?"

Huangfu Yu shook his head, "It's nothing, go to sleep."

After all, he had already recovered and continued to lie down with Xu Yue.

Regarding Huangfu Yu's concealment, Xu Yue didn't show any emotion, but just snuggled into Huangfu Yu's arms and caressed his chest, "Your Majesty must have been too tired these days, that's why he dreamed so much. Take care of your dragon body and take a good rest."

Her voice was gentle and understanding as always, Huangfu Yu suddenly sighed softly, and after a moment of silence, said, "I dreamed about the Meng family."

Xu Yue's hand paused, and then continued to speak softly, "Your Majesty is in love, dreaming of her is understandable."

After all, Huangfu Yu didn't say anything, just patted Xu Yue's shoulder, "Forget it, go to sleep."

Xu Yue hummed lightly, and still maintained this posture nestled in Huangfu Yu's arms, but her brows gradually became clear, until she heard the sound of even breathing in her ears, her eyes were still clear, No drowsiness.

　Xi Qing: Cough, may I ask His Royal Highness King Jin, let your Ruan Er do all the planning, let your Ruan Er talk about it, and let your Ruan Er carry out the negotiations. You don’t do anything, may I ask you? How do you feel?
　　King Jin: This king is the flower protector!
　　Xiqing: Cough!Xiqing thinks that Ruan'er's flower protectors do not lack you, so you don't have to show up!
　　King Jin: (squinting his eyes) Humph!Ruan'er is the most important thing in everything, this king is to let her shine and no one dares to provoke her, and only this king can stand by her side in the Central Plains!
