Chapter 142 You Are so Dramatic

The situation in front of him was somewhat beyond the reach of King Rong.

He looked at Xie Yunjian and Yuan Ziying without saying a word, unwilling to let them go, but he knew clearly in his heart that continuing the stalemate would not do any good to Prince Rong's palace.

He had kept a low profile in front of Emperor Wu Lie for so many years, so there was no reason why the new emperor couldn't keep calm as soon as he ascended the throne.

But he did endure it long enough.

Just as the situation was tense, the housekeeper from the front yard hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, Prince An brought a congratulatory gift and asked to see you. He said he came to congratulate the prince on his birthday."

King Rong's spirit was shaken, and he turned around and ordered: "Invite him in."

"Yes." The butler turned and left.

Xie Yunjian looked calm and clasped his fists towards Prince Rong: "Since the prince has guests coming, Xie will take his leave. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me."

After saying that, she took Yuan Ziying's hand and walked out.

"Stop!" Yan Jie said in a cold voice, "General Xie didn't give any explanation and just left like this?"

Xie Yunjian paused and turned his head slowly, his eyes falling on Yan Jie's face: "If the prince really wants an explanation, why don't we go to your majesty now and tell the whole story. As long as your majesty agrees to let me marry the daughter of Prince Rong's palace ”

Yan Jie sneered: "You are the general of the Qingluan Army, so your Majesty will naturally turn to you——"

"That's enough." King Rong said coldly, "Let General Xie go."

"Father!" Yan Jie was obviously unwilling.

King Rong didn't speak anymore. Although his expression was unhappy, he obviously didn't want to continue to force others to do something difficult, or in other words, he didn't dare to continue to force him.

Xie Yunjian nodded and left with Yuan Ziying. Passing by the front yard, he bumped into Prince An who was following the mansion.

"General Xie is here too?" King An looked at him in surprise, not missing Yuan Ziying beside him, his eyes flickered, "Why is Miss Yuan with General Xie?"

Xie Yunjian did not answer his question, but simply said: "Xie has something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

Yan Ling smiled gently, turned her head, and stared at their backs. Her eyes were dark and she didn't make any movement for a long time.

"The plan was ruined by this woman." King Rong walked out of the inner courtyard with a calm voice, "Xie Yunjian is not afraid, but the girl next to him is a bit weird."

Yan Ling came back to her senses and turned to look at King Rong: "That woman just made a scene in the palace?"

"It's such a big fuss." King Rong went to the study with him, "She is a little different from ordinary women. She said she came from a mountain, and didn't say which mountain she came from, but she looks a little weird."

King An was moved. On the mountain?

Thinking that Miao Qiyuan said before he died that he was going to Qingmang Mountain, how coincidental was Yuan Ziying also from the mountain?

Yan Ling came back to her senses and calmed down: "What are Uncle Wang's plans next?"

"If the marriage fails, the person in the palace should have some ideas." King Rong frowned, "But right now, her throne is not stable, so she shouldn't do anything to me."

Yan Ling hummed, "Uncle Wang, don't worry, just keep a low profile and bide your time."

…

After walking out of the palace gate, Xie Yunjian got directly into the carriage and headed towards the palace with Yuan Ziying.

The carriage was unusually quiet.

Yuan Ziying looked at him secretly: "You weren't plotted against?"

Xie Yunjian looked at her expressionlessly: "How did you know that I came to Prince Rong's Mansion?"

Yuan Ziying said: "I overheard people talking on the street, saying that Princess Rong's Mansion has fallen in love with you... I thought you arranged for someone to deliberately leak the news to me, hoping that I would rescue you."

Xie Yunjian frowned: "You have so many dramas."

"Then what are you talking about?" Yuan Ziying squinted at him, "Normally you have been poisoned by me so many times before, so you won't be plotted against me, but no matter what King Rong's purpose is, you shouldn't Being too close to his daughter, even if the man and woman are not close to each other, this method seems stupid. "

Xie Yunjian: "..."

Yuan Ziying frowned: "Why don't you speak?"

Xie Yunjian was silent for a moment, thinking about how to explain to her: "Prince Rong's purpose is to force a marriage. I will use his plan to agree to his request, so that I can get closer to Prince Rong's palace in the future."

Yuan Ziying frowned: "But you are too close to Prince Rong's palace. Aren't you worried about arousing His Majesty's suspicion?"

"The purpose is to make His Majesty suspicious." Xie Yunjian looked calm, "The more suspicious your Majesty is, the deeper the trust King Rong will have in me in the future."

Yuan Ziying's expression was subtle, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Your Majesty will not really be suspicious of me." Xie Yunjian was worried that she would misunderstand, so he took the initiative to explain, "Your Majesty has had a tacit understanding with us for many years, so he will definitely guess my intentions——"

"I know!" Yuan Ziying's expression lit up, "Is it true that King Rong is not the mastermind? Someone behind him instigated him to marry you in order to win over the military generals? And you wanted to know who the person behind it was, so you followed the plan. ?”

Seeing that there was silence for a moment, Xie Yun nodded slowly: "Yes."

Although her guess was correct, when the plan was stated like this, it always sounded a bit unsettling.

"Why do you need so much trouble?" Yuan Ziying curled her lips and looked at him with some contempt, "What if King Rong doesn't do the same thing and he really gives you a special medicine to make you have sex with his daughter? Let's see how you end up cooking."

Xie Yunjian said calmly: "You don't reflect on yourself for ruining my plan, but instead find fault with me?"

Yuan Ziying snorted coldly: "If you really need it, I can develop some medicine and let King Rong himself reveal the main messenger behind him, which can make up for the mistake."

"Need not."

"You haven't told me yet, what should I do if the matter is settled?"

Xie Yunjian frowned: "I have been tricked by you so many times in those years. Even if I am not immune to all poisons, it is not so easy to be tricked."

"What if I am really tricked?"

Xie Yunjian was convinced by her persistence in getting to the bottom of it, and said calmly: "Then I might as well marry her. There is no loss anyway."

After the words fell, the carriage suddenly became quiet.

Yuan Ziying's expression darkened, staring at Xie Yunjian's face, and couldn't help but start to itch again.

Xie Yunjian foresaw the danger, subconsciously clenched his hands, and looked at her warily.

"...Forget it." Yuan Ziying suddenly leaned aside in a frustrated manner, "Do whatever you want."

Xie Yunjian's eyes fell on her gloomy face, his heart stagnated slightly, and he explained inexplicably: "I won't let a fait accompli happen. Even if I really got poisoned, I will definitely flee the palace and ask you for help..."

"Ask me for help?" Yuan Ziying raised her eyebrows, "Let's make a fait accompli?"

Xie Yunjian looked at her expressionlessly: "What are you thinking? Ask you to prepare an antidote."

Yuan Ziying choked, then snorted coldly: "By the time I prepare the antidote, you might have been tortured to death by the drug. It's better to make a fait accompli."

Xie Yunjian: "..."
