This is what villains are like

In the courtyard, there are lush vegetation and luxuriant banyan trees. The pool is crystal clear, with some light green duckweeds floating on the surface. The shadows of fish occasionally flash past, making it very quiet.

Two women with extraordinary looks and completely different demeanor stood looking at each other. One was as ethereal as a fairy, otherworldly and aloof, looking at her with some interest, while the other was majestic and unparalleled in elegance, unwilling to be outdone. Look straight back.

"How can you help me?" After a long time, Jiang Rushian withdrew his gaze and asked casually.

Xia Huang said, "As long as you want to help, you can certainly help."

The corners of Jiang Ruxian's lips curved and she said, "You don't even know why Jiang Lan and I turned against each other or why our weapons met, so you just lied and said that you can help me. I don't know if you are too confident or too much." madness."

"Besides, if I help you, you won't be afraid that the Prime Minister's Mansion will suppress you severely after knowing about it. You must know that we are enemies between us."

Emperor Xia had already considered this issue and replied after hearing this, "Anyway, the Prime Minister's Office has been at loggerheads with me for a long time. They have suppressed me a lot over the years, and there is no less hatred than this. What's more, with Jiang Lan here, I believe The Prime Minister's Mansion will not take revenge on you."

When Jiang Ruxian heard this, his eyes seemed to move slightly, but he did not express his position.

Emperor Xia looked at her and said, "Didn't you show up to help Jiang Lan when you were in Qianyuan Mansion? Although he didn't appreciate it on the surface, he definitely cared about it in his heart. The hatred and estrangement between you and him only needs to be resolved Apply the right medicine to the problem and there will be a solution."

Jiang Rushian narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that you know him better than I do?"

Emperor Xia said seriously, "I have had a lot of contact with him, and I have some understanding of him."

Jiang Rushian smiled half-heartedly and said, "As the Lord of Daxia, you seem to have too many things to take care of. How can you still be so free to get to know other men?"

"You don't even understand the relationship between me and Jiang Lan, and you still pretend to ask me to help you. What's the difference between this and a white wolf with nothing?"

"If you don't rely on others but rely on yourself, do you think you can repair the relationship between the two of you? I'm afraid Jiang Lan doesn't even want to see you, but if I help you, the result may not be certain. As a woman, I , can understand your thoughts.”

"Think about it carefully, in today's Great Xia, who else besides me can help you the most?"

Emperor Xia saw that Jiang Rushian was not moved, so he began to use reason to move her emotionally, and he also used his identity as a woman to preach.

She knew that Jiang Rushian's weakness lay in Jiang Lan, and if she wanted her to help her, she had to start from this aspect.

As for the grudges between Jiang Lan and Jiang Rushian, although she didn't know the full story, she could still guess a few things.

At this moment, Jiang Rushian seemed to be lost in thought because of what Emperor Xia said.

But she still felt that Emperor Xia was unreliable. How could such a thing be so easy? Jiang Lan was not stupid. Once Emperor Xia got involved, it would be easy to detect...

But I have to say that Emperor Xia's words also made her a little moved, because she could determine Jiang Lan's next purpose and plan through Emperor Xia.

In this way, she doesn't have to be like the headless fly she is now, without any purpose.

"What you and Jiang Lan lack now is just the opportunity to get in touch. Under normal circumstances, he will definitely not see you, but what if he has the emperor's order?"

"I can give you an official position and arrange opportunities for you two to work together. Unless Jiang Lan wants to disobey the order, there will be no room for rejection." Emperor Xia was still trying to persuade.

She felt a bit like the old matchmaker who matched the two of them at the moment. Although her heart was very weird, she could only grit her teeth and fight in order to get Jiang Ruxian to help her.

As for the loss of face, what does it count? He was almost killed by Jiang Rushian that day, and his face had already been lost.

"Sounds like a good idea indeed."

But Jiang Ruxian's eyes brightened when he heard Emperor Xia's method.

……

At the same time, on the other side, in the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.

In a side room filled with the smell of medicine, Xiao Teng, who was pale, had his eyes closed tightly, and was breathless, was lying on the bed.

Suddenly, the center of his brows glowed, and his cheekbones were illuminated so that they seemed to become transparent. A star-like light flickered, and then seemed to blend into his limbs.

There were faint stars gathering around him, looking extremely bright.

"Wow……"

Xiao Teng's body trembled, as if he had been awakened from a nightmare.

The whole person suddenly sat up from the bed, then opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of black bruises. His face, which had some bruises on it, slowly recovered.

"How long have I been in a coma?"

He had just woken up, but he still felt a stinging and hazy feeling in his mind, as if some terrible blunt instrument had penetrated the sea of ​​​​consciousness and penetrated it.

His memory still lingered on the mysterious existence that suddenly appeared after leaving Osmanthus Garden that night.

The opponent was extremely powerful. If he hadn't crushed the jade communication talisman early and let the masters from Zhenbei Palace notice the abnormality and come to him, he might have died there.

Thinking of this, Xiao Teng felt waves of fear and timidity. In the imperial capital, under the eyes of the emperor, those people were so arrogant and wanton.

Suddenly, Xiao Teng remembered something, his expression changed, and he struggled to get up from the bed, but he felt very weak, his limbs were weak, and he couldn't stand up at all.

When she heard the noise in the house, the maid outside hurriedly opened the door and came in. Seeing Xiao Teng regaining consciousness, she immediately came over to help him.

"Tui'er, how long have I been unconscious?" Xiao Teng asked immediately.

"Reporting to the third young master, you have been unconscious for three days and three nights." The maid named Cui'er replied.

Xiao Teng was stunned for a moment, and then asked again, "Is the southern hunting exercise over?"

At this moment, he was very panicked, thinking about what happened when he went to see Xie Jianjia that night.

"Yes, Third Young Master, the southern hunting exercise has ended for the day." the maid replied.

Hearing this, Xiao Teng's heart suddenly went cold. He immediately asked his maid to find his father, Prince Zhenbei Xiao He.

Soon, Xiao He rushed over, but compared to Xiao Teng who was lying on the bed, his face was not good, full of sadness, and he was a little more depressed and vicissitudes than before.

"Father..." Xiao Teng looked at Xiao He's current expression and guessed what was going on, and his heart was filled with self-blame and regret.

"Teng'er, you finally woke up."

Xiao He forced out a smile and personally stretched out his hand to help Xiao Teng up.

Xiao Teng's eldest brother Xiao Ye and second brother Xiao Wan are still in the imperial capital. They rushed over as soon as they heard the news of Xiao Teng's awakening.

Although they all looked happy, their brows could not hide their sadness.

"Father, eldest brother, second brother, what happened in the imperial capital these days when I was in coma?" Xiao Teng quickly asked what happened in the past few days.

Because he was attacked and seriously injured and fell into coma, he failed to inform his father and others that the Blood Immortal Sect knew about Emperor Xia's plan.
