Jing Ye was suddenly startled when he saw the smile that couldn't be hidden in the corners of Jiang Xue's eyes and eyebrows.

The girl's smile is like the warm sun in winter, like the wind turning snow in spring, warm and enthusiastic.

It's been a long time since he saw this smiling face.

Jing Ye was secretly stunned, but Jiang Xue suddenly said: "Who told you not to see me again today? Why is it that the capital is so big, and the prince is lost and still comes to my house?"

Jing Ye came back to his senses, sneered and said, "Gu doesn't have any other hobbies, he just likes to watch the excitement."

"What?" Jiang Xue was stunned.

"I didn't expect that after watching the fun, I thought Gu could easily sell the princess a favor, so I came here."

Jiang Xue thought for a while and said in surprise: "Are you here to peel off the roof again?!"

Jing Ye said calmly: "It's not on the roof, it's on the tree. The view is better from a high place."

He turned his head and glanced at Jiang Xue, and said, "I wonder if it has disturbed the good mood of the princess and the consort?"

Jiang Xue couldn't help but rolled her eyes when she saw that he was asking questions knowingly.

"It's disturbing," Jiang Xue said, "So what kind of favor is the prince selling? Doesn't he owe me a favor?"

"Really," Jing Ye said sarcastically, "I don't know who it was just now, but it was clear that he was unwilling, and he was trying to find a way to get out of his arms."

Jiang Xue was choked by these words and retorted: "The prince is not married yet, and his son is not a fish, so how can he know the joy of fish? Do you understand this kind of boudoir fun?"

As the two of them talked, they walked to the backyard. The courtyard was full of guards from Jiang Xue's Changle Palace, and she began to speak more unscrupulously.

"Even if the prince admires Shaoai, he should not be interested in me, a married woman. Although I am more good-looking, at least I am a human being, and you should be a dignified regent."

Jing Ye's face turned dark after hearing this.

He said: "I like beautiful people, but I don't like poisonous snakes, especially poisonous snakes like Princess Xiang who can stab their husbands by turning their backs."

Jiang Xue knew that he was poking at her sore spot, so she didn't fight back. She just asked lightly: "Prince, you and I should be honest with each other. Why do you come to visit me again and again?"

"Don't talk about the beautiful scenery, and don't talk about wanting to see the fun," Jiang Xue said, "You, the majestic regent, personally came to celebrate my father's birthday. How could you have no purpose?"

Jing Ye only looked at her deeply and did not speak.

"I don't need to inquire about your purpose now," Jiang Xue continued, "but you have to tell me why you are so interested in me? I don't believe you are just doing it for your cousin Xiao Qi."

Jing Ye looked at her for a long time and suddenly smiled.

He slowly said: "I want to cooperate with the princess."

"What are you cooperating with?" Jiang Xue walked to the edge of the corridor and sat down. She felt that the stone slab was too cold, so she shouted to Fudong Xiaochun who was following not far away: "Go and get me a mat, it's freezing to death."

Jing Ye suddenly said: "Your Highness's way of hospitality is to let you blow the cold wind here?"

"Then what else do you want?" Jiang Xue widened her eyes and said, "A man and a woman alone, in the middle of the night, do you still want to invite you into the house and share a room with you?"

"It's been said that my father, the emperor, and my mother still want to be human beings." Jiang Xue muttered.

Jing Ye said coldly: "The princess's courtyard is full of people from the palace. Why are you worried that the fortress you built will leak?"

Jiang Xue was surprised: "How come you know everything?"

She looked at the guards standing at the foot of the courtyard wall, and a cold wind hit her. She unconsciously reached out and rubbed her arms, and then said reluctantly: "Let's go and ask Qingxuan."

The two of them walked to the main hall of Wenqingxuan together, and immediately carried the charcoal basin into the house at dawn and dawn.

Jiang Xue raised her eyes and saw Jing Ye's pale face. Although she was cold, she felt that Jing Ye was not very cold.

She said to Jing Ye: "Come and warm yourself by the fire."

Jing Ye then walked up to her, and the two of them sat around the charcoal pot. Fudong brought a small couch with it, and the two of them sat around like this.

Jiang Xue asked: "Your Majesty even knows the origins of the guards in my courtyard. He must have investigated me thoroughly before coming to Hebei."

Jing Ye's face was expressionless and noncommittal.

"Tell me," Jiang Xue said, "What do you want me to cooperate with? In other words, what does Qian Guo want me to cooperate with?"

Jing Ye looked at her and said, "I guess you already know that there is something wrong with your consort, otherwise you wouldn't be unwilling to get close to him until now."

Jiang Xue nodded, only stared at the charcoal basin, stretched out her hand and put it on the basin to warm up the fire, and motioned for him to continue.

Jing Ye said: "You hope that someone from the Hebei Kingdom will interact with people from the Qian Kingdom."

"The internal strife in the Qianlong dynasty has just ended, and now everything is waiting to be revitalized. But there are still many old forces trying to make a comeback."

"Someone in Ji is doing business with these people."

Jiang Xue raised her head in surprise.

"Is it Gu Lintan?!"

Jing Ye suddenly laughed and said, "Gu Ke never said that."

Jiang Xue stared at him sharply and asked, "What's the deal?"

"Taking advantage of the border between Ji and Beixi, we exchanged troops and horses with Beixi to help those in the Qian Kingdom win the throne."

Jiang Xue suddenly laughed and said: "What good will this do to them? If Beixi's horse hoof comes, how can there be any eggs under the overturned nest? If the country of Hebei is in danger, what good does Gu Lintan do?"

"Gu didn't say he was the consort," Jing Ye said, "Gu just intercepted a few secret letters. Coincidentally, the letter mentioned the consort."

"The letter said that if the troops arrive, help them attack Qianjing first. If Qianjing is captured, in exchange, the new emperor will support Gu Lintan and seize the Jiang family."

Jiang Xue didn't believe it and said: "This plan is so stupid, the prince also believes it?"

"Let's not talk about the geographical distance between Beixi and Qianguo. If Beixi can move his troops, wouldn't it be faster to march directly to Jiguo to complete this plan?"

"Moreover, support a Gu Lin altar. What are you supporting him for? Emperor?" Jiang Xue sneered and said: "Gu Lin altar has weak power in the court. Even if he is favored by the saint and can walk on the chancellery, he can't do it. He has no military power and no power. There are several branches of the royal family in Ji Kingdom, and several of my imperial uncles are here. Even if he wants to usurp the throne, it will not be his turn, Gu Lintan."

"So," Jing Ye said with a smile, "did the princess really never doubt Gu Lintan's identity?"

Jiang Xue was silent. The investigation she had arranged recently was indeed here.

"It's not the letter, but what is mentioned in the letter is really unbelievable." Jing Ye said, "The letter states that Gu Lintan is the orphan of the Chao family."

Jiang Xue's eyes widened and she looked at Jing Ye in disbelief.

Are you kidding me?

Chao? !

The one who was trampled by the emperor's grandfather's cavalry and killed all the royal family members, Chao? !

Jiang Xue said: "How is it possible that the Chao family still has descendants?"

Jing Ye crossed his legs, leaned on the pillow, spread his hands, and said, "How did I know about what your Jiang family did?"

Jiang Xue was stunned, but still didn't believe it, and said: "But such a stupid plan, do you guys from Qianguo also believe it?"

Jing Ye smiled and said, "If there are two groups of soldiers encircling you, this plan has a greater chance of winning. What can't a person who is blinded by greed do?"

"But the northern border is under the control of my royal brother. Who has the ability to trade the border with Beixi?"

"Then you have to ask yourselves," Jing Ye said, "Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch who loves charity and serves the people wholeheartedly. Ever since Beixi was beaten to pieces by your grandfather, the border has been peaceful for many years. So your father abandoned the military force." As for Chongwen, if Jiang Yu hadn't gone to the border in recent years to tighten things up, the border forces at this time would still be in chaos."

"But you can be sure that in just three years, your royal brother will be able to control all the forces in the north?"
