Chapter 404 Making the Deal
Xiao Yu glanced at Xiao Changan coldly, raised his hand and waved gently, Yan Qing immediately understood and put down his cloak and purse.
In a flash, a long sword was placed on Xiao Changan's neck.
"Don't move!" Yan Qing shouted coldly, the shock and joy on his face just now disappeared, and his whole body was full of fierceness.
The cold light of the blade was pressed against Xiao Changan's neck, ready to take his life at any time.
Xiao Yu's eyes were deep and cold, his face was full of chill, he sneered, "Who do you think you are! You are not worthy of having a crush on her!"
Xiao Changan felt the sharp blade across his neck and looked into Xiao Yu's cold and sharp eyes.
Xiao Yu just sat there, staring at Xiao Changan with cold eyes. The pressure emanating from him made Xiao Changan feel frightened from the bottom of his heart.
Xiao Yu really wanted to kill him.
The smug look on Xiao Changan's face disappeared completely.
But as a man, he held on and did not dare to show his weakness.
He had the Spirit Fire Grass in his hand, and he didn't believe that Xiao Yu would remain indifferent.
Since we can’t mention Su Lingyue, let’s talk about business.
Xiao Changan put away his smug look, tightly grasped the armrest, stiffened his body, and said with a curled lip: "Wang Qing must die, but I cannot be involved in this matter. The emperor's uncle will definitely have a way!"
The easiest way to make Wang Qing shut up is to kill him. He can't do it, but Xiao Yu can definitely do it.
The guards around Xiao Yu must be extraordinary to have survived two ambushes at Longhua Temple.
Moreover, he also didn't believe that Xiao Yu was really an idle prince.
Now it is a good opportunity to use Wang Qing's incident to test Xiao Yu's strength and find out clearly so that he can use it in the future.
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Changan with cold eyes and asked, "Terms of exchange?"
Seeing that Xiao Yu was still willing to continue talking to him, Xiao Changan's expression eased a little, raised the corner of his mouth and said: "The life of the emperor's uncle is not only worth this much. When I get out of this, I will continue talking to the emperor's uncle."
Xiao Yu stroked the armrest with his fingertips, staring at Xiao Changan coldly.
After a moment, Xiao Yu stood up and took a step outside, then stopped, with his back to Xiao Changan, and warned in a cold voice: "If I find out what you want to do to my princess, today's appointment will be invalid, and you will bear the consequences yourself."
Xiao Changan leaned back in his chair, looking relaxed, "Okay, deal."
Xiao Yu didn't want to stay any longer. He really didn't like the feeling of being controlled by others.
He turned and strode away.
Yan Qing put away his sword, looked at Xiao Changan coldly, picked up his cloak and purse and followed Xiao Yu.
The door opened, and Yun Ting made way for Xiao Yu and Yan Qing when they came out.
Only after the two men walked downstairs did Yun Ting let go of the sword around Lu Ming's neck, turned around and strode away.
Lu Ming just breathed a sigh of relief, but then he remembered Xiao Changan in the room and hurried inside.
Seeing Xiao Changan standing by the window looking downstairs, Lu Ming stepped forward and asked, "Is the prince injured?"
Xiao Changan was in a very good mood, and he curled his lips and said, "No."
Looking at the departing mahogany carriage, Xiao Changan felt that his breathing was smoother than ever before.
In the carriage, Xiao Yu had a sullen face and the atmosphere was extremely cold.
Seeing Xiao Yu resting his arms on his knees and holding his forehead in deep thought, he did not disturb him.
Not to mention Xiao Yu, he himself had complicated thoughts.
He thought that Xiao Changan would use rare treasures and silks to seduce the princess, but he never thought it would be the spiritual fire grass.
At this moment, Xiao Yu's life is in Xiao Chang'an's hands. Based on this alone, he can indeed threaten all of them.
Yan Qing quietly looked at Xiao Yu who was holding his forehead in deep thought, feeling worried and frowning.
After returning to the palace and entering the study room of Furong Pavilion, Yun Ting asked, "What happened?"
Yan Qing told Yun Ting exactly what had happened.
After listening to this, Yun Ting also looked solemn and frowned, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Looking at the two people with frowns on their brows, Yan Qing's suppressed thoughts surged up, making his heart a mess.
He rubbed his hair and said, "Your Highness, are you just going to let Xiao Changan go? I'll go steal the Spirit Fire Grass and give him a good beating. Let him know who his grandfather is!"
Yun Ting immediately spoke up and poured cold water on him: "Xiao Changan is a man with deep scheming. If he could let us know, it's impossible for us not to take precautions. If we act rashly and fail, we will alert the enemy and it will be more difficult to get it in the future."
Xiao Yu rubbed his brows and said in a deep voice: "Yun Ting is right. This matter needs to be considered carefully. First stabilize Xiao Changan and wait for me to come back from Lingzhou before making a decision. But there is one thing you must keep in mind."
"Don't tell the princess about this."
Yun Ting and Yan Qing both knew the seriousness of the matter and answered "yes" solemnly.
Xiao Yu continued, "Yan Qing, first, give orders. From today on, all letters sent to the mansion must be sent to you. The princess must not know about it. Second, tell the palace soldiers to guard every door. The princess and her maids are not allowed to leave the mansion. Third, anyone who wants to see me and the princess must send a letter in advance."
Yan Qing nodded in agreement and went out to explain.
Only Xiao Yu and Yun Ting were left in the study.
Yun Ting said: "Your Majesty, the witnesses and evidence are in place. If you want to clear Xiao Changan, you have to act quickly."
His meaning was very clear. The only one who was not there was Wang Qing. If Wang Qing was killed, the problem would be solved.
Xiao Yu's expression had eased a lot at this time, and he asked Yun Ting calmly: "What is your Majesty's character like?"
Yun Ting said: "Suspicious and suspicious."
Xiao Yu said: "That's a good answer. Killing Wang Qing is the most direct method, but have you thought about the benefits and maximized the benefits of this matter?"
Yun Ting frowned in thought, and after a moment, his brows suddenly relaxed, "The Crown Prince and King Jing don't get along well. If the Crown Prince knew, he would definitely hold King Jing hostage to the death."
"Prince Jing was originally trying to contain the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince were to hold King Jing close at this time, the Emperor would be suspicious and would definitely re-evaluate the matter."
"No matter what, the emperor will keep King Jing safe. Even if he suspects him, he will only punish him when he has the chance, but not now."
Xiao Yu looked at him with a gratified look, "You are right. I only need to give you a little hint and you will be able to figure out the key. Another thing is that Wang Qing is now the father-in-law of the prince. If the two of them speak at the same time, the emperor will be even more suspicious."
Yun Ting nodded, "Yes."
Xiao Yu's mood had improved, and his complexion returned to its usual calm and composed state.
“Try to reveal this to the Crown Prince, but don’t let Su Heng know. Su Heng is an old fox. If he knows, this plan will be useless.
Say hello to Second Young Master Jiang and ask him to patrol more closely these days and not let anyone approach Duke Dingguo's Mansion or leave the mansion."
Yun Ting nodded, turned and left the study.
Xiao Yu leaned back in his chair, the candlelight flickering on the candlestick, just like his hope.
From now on, I don’t have to worry anymore. I can grow old with Yue’er, I can hug her, and I can give her the love and happiness of a normal man.
Thinking of Su Lingyue, Xiao Yu's heart began to beat again.
He stood up, picked up his cloak and put it on, pushed open the door, his deep eyes filled with tenderness, and walked towards Baicao Garden with steady steps.
