Chapter 188 A big misunderstanding

Chapter 198 Big Misunderstanding
Li Qi looked at Xianyi and said softly, "Sister, if I don't ask clearly, I will have trouble sleeping and eating!"

Xianyi sighed quietly, "Brother Qi, my sister advises you to give up your heart. This is a fire pit, once you jump into it, it will be difficult to get out. Isn't it good to be a prince now? At least your life's glory and wealth are indispensable, and not everyone can fight for that seat."

Li Qi raised his eyebrows, bit his lips and said in a low voice, "If Li Heng can do it, why can't I?"

"Brother Qi, think about Rong Wang Li Wan, Si Ning Wang Li Lin and Gao Lishi..." Xian Yi turned pale, and she suddenly realized that her brother's ambition had begun to expand to an unstoppable level.

"That doesn't mean that Li Heng is capable, but because he has Zhang Xuan behind him." Li Qi sneered, "I can see the situation clearly now, and there might be chaos—if Fan Yang's An Lushan turns against him, Even the court will be in chaos, sister, do you think Li Heng can sit in that seat safely?"

Xianyi gasped.

She stared at Li Qi quietly, and suddenly realized that Li Qi was a little strange.

"Sister, don't you see that there is a rift between Li Heng and Zhang Xuan?"

"Leaving Zhang Xuan out to become a vassal, this means that Li Heng has begun to suspect Zhang Xuan. Recently, Chen Xuanli led troops to Chang'an, and had conflicts with Zhang Xuan, and Zhang Xuan killed Zhonglang General Qiu Le... I can say for sure In the future, Li Heng and Zhang Xuan will fall out sooner or later!"

Li Qi spoke softly, his expression changed a little.

Xianyi sighed again, "The crown prince just appointed Zhang Xuan's parents, which shows that the relationship between the two is still very close. The crown prince is not a fool, he would never give up on Zhang Xuan anyway. Without Zhang Xuan's support , His throne is also unstable."

"His sudden reward like this shows that Li Heng is flustered. The more he is like this, the more likely he will turn against Zhang Xuan in the future. Sister, think about it, Zhang Xuan killed Qiu Le, and colluded with Yang Guozhong to force Li Heng Heng agreed to let Yang Lian share half of Chen Xuanli's military power... How can Li Heng not feel jealous?"

Xianyi looked at Li Qi helplessly, and said in a low voice, "We don't care about the prince's affairs. Brother Qi, listen to my sister's persuasion, give up your heart, it's too dangerous. The mother concubine is not here, and the father is like this. You are a family member, and my sister doesn't want to lose it, really, Brother Qi!"

Li Qi shook his head and smiled, "Sister, you think too much. I just want to see if there is such a chance. If there is a chance, why should I give up?"

The two were talking in a low voice when they suddenly heard footsteps outside.

Not long after, Zhang Xuan strode in with a red face, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Zhang Xuan went out of the city to act as an agent for military affairs, and I am really sorry for keeping your Highnesses waiting for so long."

Li Qi laughed loudly, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Governor, you are being polite, this king came in a hurry, please forgive me for disturbing the Great Governor."

Xianyi also stood up and smiled reservedly.

Zhang Xuan was well aware of Li Qi and Xianyi's intentions.In order to achieve the goal of shaking the mountain and shaking the tiger, he unintentionally used Li Qi as a prop, but unexpectedly made Li Qi develop some other thoughts, which surprised Zhang Xuan.

"Prince Sheng, please sit down, princess, please sit down." Zhang Xuan laughed, "I don't know your Highness, what can I teach you?"

Zhang Xuan asked some questions knowingly.

Li Qi was startled, but had nothing to say.Some things cannot be said directly.

He couldn't ask Zhang Xuan face to face: Are you falling out with Li Heng, do you want to support me as emperor?

He can guarantee that if he said this, Zhang Xuan would take him as a lunatic and walk away.

Xianyi sighed inwardly, and took the initiative to say, "It's not a big deal for me and Qidi to come, but I just came here to congratulate the parents when I heard that the imperial court enshrined the parents of the governor."

Oh.Zhang Xuan said softly, "Thank you two Highnesses, the court's grace, Zhang Xuan's family will remember it in their hearts, and they are very grateful."

The three sat in the living room chatting for a long time, although Li Qi tried every means, but Zhang Xuan's tone was very tight, and he just pretended to be confused and avoided answering.

It was time for dinner, so Zhang Xuan hosted a banquet for the two of them.In the midst of the banquet, I suddenly heard a eunuch's shrill shout from outside the hall: "His Royal Highness, Prince Jian Guo, has arrived—"

Li Heng actually came.

Surprised, Zhang Xuan stood up to greet him.

But Li Qi and Xianyi looked at each other in shock, and had no choice but to stand up to greet them.

Li Heng came in disguise, bringing only a few eunuchs, maids and guards, and Luanjia stopped at the door.

Li Heng strode forward and stopped in front of the main hall.

Zhang Xuan looked serious, and bowed down, "Minister Zhang Xuan, it's late to welcome Your Highness, and please forgive me!"

Li Heng laughed, took a step forward to help Zhang Xuan and said loudly, "Zizhan, I just left the palace to visit Aunt Yuzhen in Yuzhenguan, and I passed by your mansion, so I came to have a look—"

"Oh? Brother Sheng Wang and sister Xianyi are here too?"

Li Heng cast his cold eyes on Li Qi and Xianyi.

Xianyi and Li Qi also bowed down, "Chendi (Chenmei) has met the elder brother of the Crown Prince!"

Li Heng smiled indifferently, waved his hands and said, "Get up, everyone. It seems that Bengong's arrival was unlucky, and disturbed the two and Zizhan's elegant mood."

What Li Heng said was neither salty nor bland, Li Qi gritted his teeth and pretended not to hear.And Xianyi heard it, and his heart was agitated, thinking Qidi, Qidi, I have repeatedly advised you that you don't listen, and now the prince has noticed... How will it end in the future?

……

……

Li Heng got in the way, and the banquet naturally broke up hastily.

Li Heng didn't say anything from the beginning to the end, and left back to the palace after finishing.It's just that Zhang Xuan knew Li Heng's intentions very well in his heart. He showed his favor repeatedly, including rewarding his parents, just to show his unswerving belief in and support for him, and he was unwilling to let others take advantage of him.

Xianyi and Li Qi also left in a hurry.

Zhang Xuan sent the three away, feeling a little tired, so he was ready to go back to his room to rest.Cui Ying returned to her natal family today but did not return.

As soon as she got back to the bedroom, she changed her clothes and went to bed under Ruyan Ruyu's service, the servants came back to report that Princess Xianyi had gone and returned.

Zhang Xuan frowned, thinking that this Princess Xianyi is not interesting after all, why come here?

However, out of face, he couldn't accept it.

He hurriedly dressed again, with his hair loose, and met Xianyi in the living room in the backyard.

Xianyi glanced at Zhang Xuan, couldn't help but blushed, and said politely, "Please forgive me for disturbing the governor's rest."

"Your Highness, please be polite. Please speak up if you have something to say." Zhang Xuan was not polite, and asked Xianyi directly about why he came.

"Sheng Wang's heart is simple, not an emperor's material... Xianyi doesn't know why the governor is like this, but he thinks the governor has no intention of supporting Sheng Wang. This, Xianyi can see it. It's just that the governor is like this, Not only did it arouse King Sheng's desire for injustice, but it also made the crown prince suspicious of King Sheng!"

Xianyi's expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "It's too unkind for the governor to do this. What is his intention? If he traps Qidi in a situation where he will never be able to recover, even if I risk my life, I will not let the governor go." !"

Zhang Xuan smiled, "Your Highness is worrying too much. Instead of spending your mind on Zhang, His Highness should persuade Sheng Wang more. The prince is not a narrow-minded person. If Sheng Wang can keep his duty, the prince will naturally have nothing to do."

Xianyi sneered a little annoyed, "Since the governor didn't have that intention, why didn't he just persuade him to let King Sheng die?"

"You are so ambiguous, you are provoking and hinting!"

Zhang Xuan glanced at Xianyi, seeing this handsome woman in front of her, the young widow, turned her face, it could be seen that she was very protective of Prince Sheng.

"Hehe, there is nothing wrong in the world, and people are disturbing themselves. Your Highness, think too much. Well, since this matter is caused by Zhang, then Zhang promises His Highness to clear away the demons for King Sheng some other day, okay?"

"It's late at night, there is a difference between men and women; and Zhang Mou has worked hard for a day on military affairs, and he is really exhausted and extremely sleepy, so His Highness will not stay." Zhang Xuan cupped his hands and directly issued the order to expel the guest.

Xianyi blushed, and glared at Zhang Xuan bitterly, thinking that if it wasn't for Qidi, Ben Gong wouldn't be bothered to talk nonsense to you.

Xianyi turned around and left without a trace of sloppiness.

Looking at Xianyi's leaving back, a strange look flashed in Zhang Xuan's eyes.

*****************************
Sheng Wang Li Qi drove back home slowly, but his brows were tightly frowned.

He didn't get the information he wanted, and he was jealous of Li Heng, so he was extremely depressed.

However, when he got the news that his sister Princess Xianyi had returned to Zhang Xuan's governor's mansion halfway, he was moved, so he ordered his servants to divert to Xianyi's son-in-law's mansion.

However, after waiting all night, Xianyi did not come back.

On the morning of the second day, Xian Yi went back to the mansion exhausted, and was surprised to see Li Qi staying here.

"Qidi? Why are you here with me?"

Li Qi looked at Xianyi playfully, and smiled softly, "I wanted to come and talk to my sister, so I came here. However, I waited for my sister all night, but I didn't see her back home. I don't know where my sister went..."

Xianyi sighed softly, "I went out of the city to Yuzhen Temple, and talked to Aunt Yuzhen all night."

She thought to herself, it's not for you, a bastard.

She was really worried, she was afraid that Zhang Xuan would have another conspiracy, use and play Li Qi in his hands, and make Li Qi be suppressed by the prince in the future.After confronting Zhang Xuan, she was still uneasy, so she called to open the city gate to go to Yuzhen Temple overnight, and talked about it with Princess Yuzhen.

The smile on the corner of Li Qi's mouth was even more weird and playful, he smiled lightly, "My sister has been widowed for a long time, it's time to find a new consort..."

Xian Yi was startled, then blushed immediately, and said angrily, "Brother Qi, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Li Qi chuckled, "It's a pity, sister, Zhang Xuan already has Cui Ying as his wife, otherwise, my younger brother will definitely go to the palace to invite my father to marry Zhang Xuan to my sister..."

Xianyi was furious and reprimanded, "Li Qi, you are talking nonsense, my sister is angry!"

Li Qi laughed, turned around and "run away".

The more Xianyi gets angry, the more Li Qi feels that Xianyi is having an affair with Zhang Xuan.He thought to himself, no wonder Zhang Xuan came to the king's door suddenly, it turned out that his sister had an affair with him.

Xianyi's eyes turned black, she was dizzy, and wanted to cry but had no tears.
