Chapter 111 Looking at each other
Chu Tianyou's face was ugly. Now that he was caught by the seventh brother, it was not a good thing. Bai Chuwan was a little confused. She wanted to see the always arrogant elder sister kneeling in front of her, why did she suddenly change...
"Brother Tianyou..."
Chu Tianyou gave her a fierce look, then looked at Chu Tianze and said with a smile, "Seventh brother, we two brothers haven't been together for a long time, why don't we go to the East Palace for a drink?"
Chu Tianze looked puzzled, "Your Highness, I think it's not necessary. I still have to accompany Xiaoxiao."
Chu Tianyou put on a friendly smile, "That's fine, but the rumors you heard should not bother the emperor. As his sons, we should share the worries of the emperor. What do you think, brother?"
Chu Tianze nodded calmly, "My brother is right."
"In that case, I will not bother you anymore in Bai Mansion."
"Farewell to the Prince"
Chu Tianyou walked out with Bai Chuwan in his arms, but he was not at peace at all. If the matter got to his father's ears, he would definitely not have a good ending. It was handled very cleanly, so why did the seventh brother know about it? He should go back as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures with his advisers...
Looking at the prince who was returning to the palace in a hurry, Bai Chuxiao raised her eyes to the man beside her and said with a smile, "You must have cheated him, right?"
Chu Tianze nodded calmly, "He embezzled the gold mine, but there is no evidence. My people cleaned up the mess when they found out."
Bai Chuxiao was a little surprised, "What's going on?" She doubted Chu Tianyou's ability.
Chu Tianze's face looked a little ugly, "In Yunzhou"
"Chu Tianyou actually cooperated with Prince An, he is really brave," Bai Chuxiao raised an eyebrow. Yunzhou is Prince An's fiefdom, no wonder he couldn't find out. However, Emperor Wenxuan would not really like this younger brother. It is not a good thing to be related to Prince An...
Chu Tianze sneered, "Cooperation? I think he is courting death and didn't even know he was sold out."
Bai Chuxiao also restrained her smile, her face heavy, "Should we tell His Majesty the news?" Prince An had been silent for many years and had no children, so everyone just thought he was an idle prince who was content to live a peaceful life. Now it seems that he has big plans... Chu Tianyou's IQ was used as a gun, but he was still happily counting money...
Chu Tianze's eyes sank slightly, "Just let the people under my father know about this. Prince An hasn't shown his tail yet... We can't do anything to him for the time being."
Bai Chuxiao nodded. The situation in Daxia was becoming increasingly unstable, so they had to make plans early.
Chu Tianze did not stay long. He had received news that the prince had come to the Bai family today. He was worried that the prince would cause trouble for Xiaoxiao, so he rushed here. As expected, now that the prince is gone, he still has a lot of things to deal with.
The next day, Bai Chuxiao went to the Kong family. It was well known in the capital that Princess Changning and Miss Kong were on good terms. Lord Kong invited the two young masters to his mansion. She agreed to help Kong Xihan observe secretly. Of course, she also sent a message to Murong Xuan before leaving. As for what her second brother would think and do, she had no control over it.
Lord Kong and the two young masters were sitting in the pavilion, looking like they were having a good chat. Two beautiful girls in a green dress and a sky blue dress were watching from afar.
"Xiaoxiao, what do you think?" Kong Xihan said calmly.
Both men were Jinshi three years ago. Now they are only in their early twenties. They are considered outstanding among those from humble backgrounds and have extraordinary potential.
Looking at Kong Xihan who was somewhat uninterested, Bai Chuxiao blinked and said, "She looks OK."
Kong Xihan sighed slightly. Accepting it was one thing, but when it came to this point, he still couldn't get over it.
Soon, Murong Xuan in white and Yu Fengyang in blue brocade robes stepped into the pavilion.
Kong Xihan was a little surprised, "Why... why are they here?"
Bai Chuxiao's eyes flashed with cunning, and she spread her hands, "I don't know, my second brother didn't even tell me that he was coming, why don't we go over and take a look?"
Kong Xihan nodded
Bai Chuxiao took Kong Xihan's hand and walked into the pavilion
"I've met the princess!"
Bai Chuxiao waved her hand and said with a smile, "No need to be polite, second brother Yu Fengyang, why are you here?"
Yu Fengyang glanced at the expressionless Murong Xuan and chuckled, "My lord, what a coincidence! We are here to visit Lord Kong. I didn't expect... this is a bit presumptuous."
Lord Kong smiled faintly, "No problem, you guys are all knowledgeable and eloquent, since you are here, let's have a discussion together."
"My dear nephew Xuan, you haven't been here for a long time. How about playing a game of chess today?"
The Kong family and the Murong family have always had a relationship. Although Murong Xuan has not passed the imperial examination and has no official position, his knowledge is not bad. He also made contributions in the last battle in the north. I think he is determined to become a military general. He is still very optimistic about this boy.
Murong Xuan smiled gently, "It would be disrespectful to refuse, Uncle Kong, please..."
As a result, the two young masters were left out. However, they were from poor families and the people present were from good families, so they were not angry.
Lord Kong frowned slightly, and held on to one piece for a long time. Murong Xuan's chess skills were very good, and he would definitely lose if he continued like this...
Since they stepped in, Murong Xuan has never looked up at them. Kong Xi bit her red lips slightly, not understanding why Murong Xuan came here today. Did he really think that what happened yesterday did not happen?
She couldn't accept this atmosphere, so she said calmly, "I won't disturb father and Second Young Master Murong anymore."
Lord Kong nodded, concentrating on the chessboard, and did not notice the change in his daughter.
But just as Kong Xihan spoke, Murong Xuan's hand paused slightly.
The second brother pretended to be calm, but he could not escape her eyes. Bai Chuxiao raised the corner of her mouth and left with Kong Xihan.
After the two of them left, the situation on the chessboard was instantly reversed. Lord Kong, who was bound to lose, felt strange and looked up at Murong Xuan, who had a calm expression. "My dear nephew Xuan, are you deliberately letting me win? That's not necessary..."
Murong Xuan came back to his senses and chuckled, "How dare you be so arrogant, it's Uncle Kong's chess skills that are superb."
Lord Kong snorted in annoyance and did not take his compliment to heart. This kid was suddenly absent-minded and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Yu Fengyang pulled the corner of his mouth, and he understood what happened today...
Murong Xuan stood up and bowed, saying, "My uncle and the two young masters have something to discuss. Feng Yang and I will go to find the princess and will not disturb you."
Lord Kong nodded and said, "Okay, then Nephew Xuan and Prince Yu can do as they please."
After leaving the pavilion, Yu Fengyang looked at Murong Xuan who was distracted and smiled evilly, "Are you going to find the princess or Miss Kong?"
Murong Xuan ignored his teasing. He was in a state of confusion. He had been thinking in the yard all day yesterday. When he heard what Xiao said, he brought Yu Fengyang to the Kong Mansion without thinking. He didn't know what was wrong with him...
