The Villain's Heart Black Moonlight

Chapter 63: The ruthless official x the delicate princess (21)

Not to mention Cen Jinzhao who was facing all of this, even Xu Shiyin next to him was silent, with an inexplicable feeling of being defeated.

To be honest, he claimed that he had been immersed in these romantic places for many years, but he had never experienced that kind of feeling that went straight to the heart.

He thought it was his own problem, but now it seems...

It's really not.

If you really put your heart into it, even bystanders will be able to feel it subtly.

Just like now, he saw Lord Prime Minister Cen, who was usually self-restrained and indifferent, suddenly raised his hand to rub his forehead, then took a deep breath, and when he raised his eyes again, there were complicated emotions in his eyes.

It seems like he wanted to control his impulse, but in the end he had no choice but to give in.

Xu Shiyin spoke sincerely: "You don't have to say it, I think I understand."

There seemed to be a faint sour smell in the air, and that sour smell came from Xu Shiyin.

"But if you are serious, many things will have to be rearranged." Xu Shiyin thought for a moment, "She probably doesn't know your identity yet, and our ultimate goal is her...father. Can she really accept it?"

Ancient thought was relatively restricted.

Although Kangdi was not kind to his daughter at all, and even treated her with an indifferent attitude, he did not let Chi Chu live a good life before this.

But what is required now is that filial piety comes first. Even if Chi Chu does not care about this father, he will be troubled by secular public opinion, not to mention that the other party may not necessarily not care about this father.

After all...our bodies and hair are given by our parents.

Xu Shiyin has always been straightforward and says whatever he thinks. Of course, it is also because he knows that Cen Jinchao is not the kind of person who beats around the bush, so he bluntly speaks out the problems that may be faced in the future.

Cen Jinzhao was silent for a few seconds.

Then he spoke as if he had made up his mind.

"That won't happen." The man stroked the ring with his fingertips and said in a deep tone, "She won't know anything and will marry me peacefully and spend this time with me."

"But you're right, some plans really need more consideration."

Xu Shiyin: “…”

He opened his mouth, not knowing whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

In fact, he was not without concerns about cooperating with Cen Jinzhao. The biggest concern came from the other party's style - Cen Jinzhao seemed to have never considered what would happen after the plan was successful. He was more like a gambler who was not afraid of his life.

But at that moment, Xu Shiyin saw something else vaguely floating in Cen Jinzhao's eyes——

That is thinking about the future.

In this way, he will certainly be more rigorous in doing things and will not put himself in danger.

But correspondingly, Chi Chu's existence is also an irregular outbreak point.

After all, she is the daughter of Conti.

The conflict between identity and blood means that many things will never be that simple.

-

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Chi Chu's life became richer because of what happened that day.

It can be seen that the heroine of the world is really a little anxious. She came to the palace several times and asked people about Chi Chu's situation in a roundabout way, as if she wanted to analyze the reason for Chi Chu's change.

Or it could be said that it was the time of her "rebirth".

But unfortunately, Chi Chu's route was different from hers. After asking around for a few days, Tang Qingyuan still found nothing.

This somewhat strange behavior even attracted Ning Hekun's attention.

Tang Qingyuan could only give up temporarily.

However, she did learn some unnecessary information during this period. At least she realized that Chi Chu was not the type to stir up trouble. As long as she did not continue to attack him... probably everything would be fine, right?

As for the marriage, looking at the current progress of Chi Chu and Cen Jinzhao, I might even be their assistant.

She probably wouldn't care too much.

Tang Qingyuan comforted herself in this way.

However, what she didn't pay much attention to was that Chi Chu was not indifferent, but had already started making arrangements.

The thirty-day death deadline was getting closer and closer. The day of the incident was actually when they were out hunting in autumn, so there were still about three or four days left.

The bandits that Chi Chu had "hired" before finally gave her useful clues.

——They discovered that after work, the prince’s men would pretend to go to the tavern to drink.

At first they didn't think there was anything wrong and stopped following them after they saw those people go to the pub.

But one time, a more careful bandit discovered that the prince's men had not come out of the tavern for an hour or two. However, at dusk, they were found returning from outside the city.

This scene made the bandits alert.

So they found an opportunity and followed quickly, and then they discovered a tunnel leading out of the city, and... an entire "factory" not far from the city.

Who would have thought?

Prince Ning Hekun, who has a very good reputation in the court and has never made any transgressions in the development of the original world line and is deeply loved and trusted by Emperor Kang, actually has an entire iron smelting factory outside the city.

They even make weapons privately.

In ancient times, the control over the salt and iron industries was quite strict. After all, these were the foundation of people's livelihood, and one brought huge profits while the other brought danger.

If an ordinary businessman had a private iron smelting business, he would inevitably be punished, and might even lose his life. However, as the crown prince, Ning Hekun not only smelted iron... he even privately made weapons.

This is not just about money.

This is to arm myself and form a private army. To put it more bluntly -

Ning Hekun has ulterior motives!

[Boy, why don't we report it to the emperor directly? Or tell the villain to come, that way we can get rid of Ning Hekun and prevent the villain from being affected by the protagonist of the world in the future, right? ]

Bobo proposed countermeasures based on his understanding of Chi Chu.

At first glance, this method of getting rid of the "problem maker" is indeed very primitive.

But it still underestimated its host.

"Well..." The little girl's face has gained some flesh in recent times, and it looks white, tender and soft like a small dumpling. "But it's iron, and there are so many ready-made weapons."

【so……】

"So why can't we have both?" Chi Chu thought for a moment before answering seriously, "The prince takes the blame and we take the benefits. Isn't that great?"

【…】

No, of course it smells good.

It’s just… by doing this, aren’t they a bit too much like villains?

I guess even if Cen Jinchao were to do it, he might not be so cruel.

Bobo silently mourned for Ning Hekun for a minute in her heart. This Crown Prince was probably going to be in big trouble.

But on the other hand, Ning Hekun didn't realize that he was going to be unlucky.

He was still preparing for the Autumn Hunt, which would be held at a palace not too far from the capital. The management there was not as strict as in the capital, so it would be more convenient to make any arrangements.

Moreover, in places like the deep mountains and old forests, even if something really happened... it would be perfectly normal, right?
