Brother is a heartless thing [Rebirth]

All the palace people in the hall retreated, the hall door was completely closed, and the winter wind was cool, even the windows were tightly closed.Sitting opposite Wen Xuan, He Lian was a little less casual and lazy than when he met at the Zhenning Mansion that day. His slender body was dressed in heavy fox fur, and his eyes were narrow, showing a bit of arrogance and judgment. The beauty's bone appearance, but the look makes people extremely uncomfortable.

There was freshly brewed hot tea on the table, but there were no palace attendants around, and no one moved.

Helian Yu's sharp blade-like pupils swiped around the hall, skipping Wen Xuan on the opposite side, and landed on the plate of pastry at hand, fixed for a moment, the tails of the eyes were slightly raised, with a faint contempt, and opened for a long time Mouth: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince has planned to stay in Yuyang recently. Yuyang has been a country for hundreds of years, and it is the first time that a Royal Highness from another country stays here to celebrate the New Year. You have such a good relationship with Your Majesty, I dare not neglect you. Come to say hello in advance."

Wen Xuan knew that his purpose for this trip was not simple, so he answered one sentence at a time, "Mr. Zhenning doesn't have to be so polite. According to your seniority and position in Yuyang, it should be me who should visit."

He Lianyu snorted softly, "Don't dare to be that person, since you are the person your superiors like, and your subordinates are your servants, you should respect yourself."

Wen Xuan didn't answer.

"His Highness Six is ​​rumored to be good at craftsmanship. The cakes on this table look exquisite, but you made them?" He Lianyu asked knowingly, and glanced at the plate of dim sum, which was engraved with the seal of Yuyang Shangong.

Wen Xuan said: "It was sent by a servant."

"Oh?" He Lianyu raised his tone slightly, and squinted his eyes, "That's a pity... I finally came here, and I wanted to see how attractive the food made by His Highness the Sixth Highness is. Come on, what a coincidence."

Wen Xuan glanced at him, and said: "It's definitely not as good as Zhenning Jun usually sees, and it's not as good as the chef of the dining palace. As far as the king is concerned, he should just be used to it."

When He Lianyu heard this, she paused for a moment, but she didn't expect him to mention Min Shao directly, she looked at him strangely, and then snorted, "The Sixth Highness is a sensible person."

Wen Xuan could roughly guess the purpose of his visit, so he didn't go around in circles with him.

Recently, the news that Min Shao started to eat had spread throughout the palace overnight, even the servants who carried water knew about it, let alone He Lianyu.

Especially Wen Xuan also knew that as an important minister in the court, He Lianyu had a sharp and vicious vision. Others might not be able to guess what was unusual, but he was different.Especially after the incident in Lingshan last time, he has seen Min Shao's attitude towards Wen Xuan with his own eyes, and he can already guess eight or nine of them. back to normal.

If Helian Yu couldn't see what it meant, he would be blind.

However, Wen Xuan only guessed half right.

And there's the other half that he doesn't know.

That is to say, after Min Shao left Zhenning Mansion, He Lianyu pondered for a long time alone, always thinking about the question——

What is the reason why Min Shao wants to abdicate?

According to He Lianyu's understanding of Min Shao over the years, Min Shao is by no means an impulsive person. When he gets excited, he thinks of abdicating the throne to let the virtuous, and living in seclusion in the mountains and forests with his lover to wander the wild cranes.

This is what fools do.

But Min Shao is not stupid, let alone abandoning the throne for this selfish desire.

He must have thought about it for a long time.

So after thinking about it, He Lianyu could only think of the only reasonable and most reasonable reason——

It was definitely Wen Xuan who planned and instigated behind the scenes.

In He Lianyu's view, Min Shao is a capable person who can take on heavy responsibilities from all aspects.He never doubted his vision.

But Wen Xuan is just an outsider to him, a lot of information is unknown, and he has inextricably linked with Min Shao in one way or another. It is clear that they have been separated for a long time, and in the past year, they often appear inexplicably. Yu Yang.

Even if He Lianyu didn't know Wen Xuan's character, but just from another perspective, he could know that Min Shao's abdication would be of great benefit to Wen Xuan.

First, once Min Shao abdicates, the monarchy of Yuyang will be replaced and the court will be shaken, which is the best opportunity for neighboring countries to wait for the opportunity.

Second, if Min Shao leaves Yuyang, it means that Wen Xuan and him can abandon the secular world and go far away, completely forgetting about any clan status.

No matter from which point of view, in the final analysis, it is Wen Xuan who has benefited the most.

But, of course, Helian Yu felt that the former was more likely to be the reason.For the prosperity and prosperity of a country to do whatever it takes, this is something that most clan children can do.

But Wen Xuan didn't know that He Lianyu was still thinking about it during this trip.

The two have their own thoughts, one thinks that it is natural for love to come, and the other thinks that beauty is a disaster and deserves death.So the scene of the needle point facing the wheat awn just appeared——

"I know that Lord Zhenning is loyal to the country, and he is wholeheartedly thinking of the king, but the matter has not yet been made public, and how the king will make a decision is still uncertain. Is it too much for Zhenning Lord to intervene early?"

He Lianyu sneered when he saw that he had already opened the skylight to speak out, "In advance? Your Highness the Sixth Highness really thinks about it. I think it's too late for such a ridiculous thing! If I knew about it from the beginning, Even if I don't want my head, I have to find a way to kill the idea of ​​the king, so as not to affect Guozuo in the future, and there will be endless troubles!"

"Influence Guozuo?" Wen Xuan frowned, staring at him with displeasure, "Why, is this really so ridiculous in the eyes of Lord Zhenning? It’s understandable, it turns out that’s all there is to it.”

"Hmph." Helian Yupi smiled but didn't smile, "I really don't understand, what kind of tricks did you use to make your lord retreat to this situation."

"What are you giving in to, it's clearly wishful thinking!"

"Hey, it's ridiculous! Since ancient times, there have been many disasters for beauties, and beauties mistaken heroes. It's true. I advise you to weigh it carefully. The reputation of the Yuyang clan cannot be ruined by you alone. With this king, and What you are against is Yu Yang's entire court!"

Wen Xuan's expression turned cold, "Mr. Zhenning speaks so loudly, could it be that he wants to seize the political hall?"

Lord Zhenning's eyes were cold, and his tone was serious: "If the country is not a country, why not seize the government and speech hall?" In the huge Guanghan Hall, the four eyes met, and the atmosphere was completely cold.

Wen Xuan did not expect that the first obstacle between him and Min Shao started with He Lianyu.

Wen Xuan had already considered many things, and it was expected that some people in Yu Yang would object, but if even He Lianyu, the most powerful person in the court, could not accept it, then they would only struggle in the future.

The task of the king is not only to rule the country and prosper the country, but also a very important point is to pass on the family line.

A clan can decline, but it cannot be without blood. Once the blood is cut off, everything will be lost. This is the simplest reason.Wen Xuan knew this from the very beginning, but it was related to the Yuyang clan, he could not make the decision, and he would not deliberately ask.

In short, Min Shao will give him a definite answer sooner or later.

That was Min Shao's choice, and it was also his own choice, no matter what the outcome would be, he would not complain.

But now if someone else intervenes in an attempt to stir things up...

This became very unpleasant.

Wen Xuan really wanted to know what Min Shao was thinking.

The two argued to no avail, and Zhenning Junmei walked away after a while, and before stepping out the door, she only left a strange sentence "I'll do it for myself".

Wen Xuan was very angry because of this, very angry.Angry for a whole day.

Even on the second day, he still felt unhappy in his heart. In the small kitchen at noon, he shook the salt jar vigorously as if venting his anger, and poured half of the jar of salt into the frying pan.

Recently, Min Shao has started to eat three meals a day like ordinary people, Wen Xuan only occasionally comes to the small kitchen to cook him some food, and most of the time, the dining palace is still in charge.

After all, if he really used His Highness the Sixth Highness Dongjing as a cook, he didn't have a good opinion of Wen Xuan.

Today Wen Xuan only made two simple dishes of fish-flavored eggplant and mapo tofu. When the dishes were served on the table, the color and fragrance were impeccable. Tofu taste, I just feel like a soft lump of salt has melted in my mouth, with a hint of spiciness...

Min Shao fell silent for a moment.

Instead, he turned the tip of his chopsticks to the plate of fish-flavored eggplant, and took a bite.

Still the same taste.

"..."

There was no porridge or rice prepared on the table, not even tea, which seemed to be intentional.Min Shao was quite familiar with this trick as early as many years ago, sometimes he could get a barely legitimate reason, and sometimes there was no reason at all, just because someone was idle and bored, and just wanted to play tricks .

But now that Wen Xuan is such an adult, Min Shao doesn't think he will be so boring.

He put down his chopsticks, said "serve tea" to the waiter, then turned his head and stared at Wen Xuan quietly to see what he wanted to say.

Wen Xuan rested her chin, her black hair shone like a brocade under the light, and her moon-white brocade robe made her very clean.Knowingly, he asked, "How does it taste?"

Min Shao didn't give face, "Very bad."

"How can you say that? It's really not easy for His Highness to cook a meal." Wen Xuan pushed the plate in front of him, "You should finish it."

Min Shao was silent for a while, his eyes fell on the plate for a moment, and he said indifferently: "Since you are tired, you might as well go back and rest earlier."

"No, let's talk first."

Wen Xuan pushed back the surrounding palace people, leaned forward, still resting his chin with his palm, looked at him mysteriously and said, "I just happen to be interested today, let's talk about the topic between men, how about?"

"What topic?"

Wen Xuan spat out two words: "Woman."

"..."

Min Shao looked at him, raising his eyebrows slightly.

"Why, you don't seem very interested?" Wen Xuan observed his expression, pretending to be leisurely and said, "That's right, I've heard some rumors about you in Dongjing, and you don't seem to be interested in women. No matter how you care, the harem is always empty. But as the king of a country, it is necessary to continue the incense, and sooner or later we still have to face it."

"But you don't have to worry, I know that the overall situation should be the most important thing in everything, so I just mentioned it casually. By the way, as the best friend of Ji Lehou for many years, I would like to remind you a few words. You can't choose women based on appearance, especially you In the future, the person selected will be the mother of the world, so the vision must be sharper, for example..."

"That's what He Lianyu told you?" Min Shao interrupted indifferently, with a glance in his eyes, he said, "There is more."

The air froze for a moment, and Wen Xuan choked abruptly.

He didn't mean to speak so sourly, but he couldn't hold back.

With a soft snort, he said dryly, "No more."

Yuyang Palace is Min Shao's place, and He Lianyu has been in and out of Guanghan Palace, so Min Shao naturally knows everything about it.

He knew that according to He Lianyu's extreme temperament, such a big matter as abdication would definitely not be tolerated, so if He Lianyu didn't question Wen Xuan about this matter, Min Shao would not believe it at all.

"Really do not have?"

Wen Xuan thought for a while, "There's a little bit... He called me a beauty, and told me to take care of myself."

Min Shao quietly waited for him to continue talking, but found that there was no more, raised his eyebrows and questioned: "That's it?"

Wen Xuan opened her eyes wide and asked back: "You don't think it's enough?"

"..." Min Shao was silent for a while.

...Did He Lianyu say nothing?

Shouldn't.

Although Min Shao's reign was not long, his insights and speculations about the court were not bad.From party disputes to selfish obsessions, he can predict eighty-nine out of ten courtiers.So it's not difficult for him to predict that with Helian Yu's suspicious nature, he should add some suspicion to Wen Xuan.

But Wen Xuan didn't seem to know it right now.

Min Shao didn't know where something went wrong, so he simply stopped talking, and just said: "Since that's the case, then you can rest assured. There won't be too much trouble with Helian Yu, and I don't plan to add any more to the harem." , you don't have to think too much."

Wen Xuan paused for a moment, he didn't want to worry about He Lianyu's matter, after all, the harem was empty, and it was indeed very important to the monarch.Hesitantly said: "Really? It is a big deal for a king to have no heirs, you should think clearly."

Min Shaodan said: "I make my own decision."

"Then if the officials object, can you manage?"

"They won't."

Min Shao spoke very firmly, Wen Xuan had nothing to say.

After all, the matter hadn't developed to the point of urgency, Wen Xuan knew Min Shao's thoughts, so he simply didn't ask.

He understands that it is not easy for him and Min Shao to have what they are today.

He understands the truth. Although he didn't dare to think about going further, he didn't think about retreating either.

After all, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridgehead. They are people who have died once. As long as life is still going on, no matter whether it is good or bad, there will always be a result.
