In the side hall, Chen Tian was still drinking and eating alone. From time to time, he would signal Xiahou and his daughter to drink together, but the two of them remained unmoved and continued to sit at the dining table. Chen Tian felt that the two of them were in advance.
A good illusion.
After drinking several glasses of wine, Chen Tian put down his chopsticks, looked at Xiahou and his daughter and said, "Don't you want to know what the emperor is doing?"
"Young master, please stop talking. How dare we speculate on the emperor's thoughts?" Xiahou Zhengcheng hurriedly reminded him.
"There are no outsiders here. Let's discuss it in a low voice. The emperor won't know about it." As he said that, he looked back at the maid behind him and asked, "Will you tell the emperor?"
"Young Master, make atonement!" The maid behind him suddenly turned pale with fear and hurriedly knelt down and said.
Chen Tian couldn't help but rolled his eyes, stood up and helped the maid behind her, and said: "I was just joking, don't kneel down all the time."
The maid stood up in fear and said in a trembling voice: "Master, please don't make fun of me again in the future."
Chen Tian said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was rude this time."
Chen Tian quickly apologized, and after the maid stood up again, he returned to his seat and sat down, and continued: "Let's discuss it before the emperor comes back. If you don't tell me, the emperor will definitely not know.
"
"Mr. Chen, you..."
"Forget it, I'll analyze it myself." Chen Tian raised his hand to interrupt Xiahou Zhengcheng's words and said to himself.
Xiahou and his daughter looked at each other, said nothing, and just looked at Chen Tian quietly.
After Chen Tian poured himself a drink, he said slowly: "I think the emperor should have gone to deal with the Ye clan's affairs!"
Xiahou and his daughter were still sitting upright and didn't speak. Chen Tian didn't care and continued: "I think the emperor should have wanted to take action against the Ye clan for a long time, but he didn't have a good reason. This time they offended me, what do you think?
Isn’t it a good opportunity?”
As he said this, he did not forget to glance at Xia Hou and his daughter. Their expressions changed, but they quickly concealed it.
Chen Tian smiled and continued: "What do you think the emperor will do with the Ye clan, exterminate the clan? Or expel them from the Yang Chong Empire?"
When he said this, Chen Tian stared at Xiahou and his daughter, as if waiting for the two of them to give him an answer.
Being stared at by Chen Tian like this, the two of them felt like a light was on their backs, but they still kept silent and glanced to the side involuntarily, not daring to look at Chen Tian.
After looking at it for a long time, Chen Tian slowly withdrew his gaze and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't say anything. I'll change the question."
This time he looked at Xiahou Qingyi and said slowly: "Do you think the last time we met was accidental or was it deliberately arranged?"
Xiahou Qingyi's eyes were a little dodged, and he said hesitantly: "Then...it must be accidental. No one knew that you were here beforehand. How could anyone deliberately arrange it!"
Hearing Xiahou Qingyi's answer, Chen Tian just smiled, turned to look at the palace door, and said, "If you don't come in, the dishes will probably get cold."
Hearing Chen Tian's incomprehensible words, Xiahou and his daughter's expressions changed, and they both turned to look at the palace door.
"Hahaha!" After a while, a burst of hearty laughter came from outside the palace door, and then Yang Chong Emperor Xiao Jing slowly walked from the palace door. Behind him was a young man, who was Xiao, the crown prince of the Yang Chong Empire.
scene.
Seeing Emperor Yang Chong, Xiahou and his daughter stood up one after another, bowed slightly and said, "I have met the emperor, the prince."
The fear and fear from before were gone from his voice, and he was now more calm and composed.
Chen Tian drank wine leisurely, glanced at Xia Hou and his daughter, and said with a smile: "Why, you can't pretend anymore?"
Xiahou Zhengcheng smiled bitterly, and Xiahou Qingyi spread his hands helplessly.
When Emperor Yang Chong saw this, he laughed loudly and said, "This guy is very shrewd and is really not easy to cheat."
As he spoke, he had already come to the main seat and sat down. Xiao Jing also sat down next to him and nodded to Chen Tian as a greeting. Chen Tian also nodded to him and then looked at Xiao Jing who was sitting on the main seat.
actually.
Xiao Jing took a sip from his wine glass without blushing and said, "Tell me, when did you notice it?"
Chen Tian gave a thumbs up and said, "You have to be a thick-skinned person to be an emperor."
Xiao Jing was not angry because of Chen Tian's offensive words. He just smiled and waved his hand, signaling Chen Tian to continue.
Chen Tian cursed secretly, "Old fox, no one else has such shame."
But he continued: "You deliberately arranged the meeting between Xiahou Qingyi and Ye Cheng!"
Xiao Jing nodded and said: "They were indeed arranged by me, but they didn't know it beforehand. Qing Yi only found out just now. As for Ye Cheng, I'm afraid he won't know about it until he dies."
"In other words, Ye Cheng deliberately targeted me and it was not arranged by you?" Chen Tian asked back.
This time, Xiao quickly shook his head and denied, "I just arranged for them to meet you, and I didn't let him deliberately target you."
Chen Tian nodded, reluctantly believing it, and continued: "Did the Ye Clan be wiped out by you?"
Xiao Jing nodded again, his expression as usual, without the slightest hint of surprise. It seemed that he had expected that Chen Tian would guess this.
Chen Tian did not continue the analysis, but asked: "What mistake did the Ye Clan make that made you deliberately want to kill them?"
"Actually, I didn't make any mistakes. I just wanted to usurp the throne." Xiao Jing said calmly, as if he was recounting a very common thing.
Chen Tian couldn't help but was stunned. He really wanted to give Xiao Jing another thumbs up. Others were trying to usurp the throne and he was talking so calmly. He didn't know if he had a big heart or if everything was under his control.
That's why it's so calm and calm.
After a while, Chen Tiancai continued: "You actually already know that the Ye clan is going to rebel, so why don't you just do it?"
"Originally I planned to take action, but you happened to come at this time, so I took advantage of it. After all, Ye Heng is also one of my right-hand men. If he is accused of treason, then where will my royal family's face be put?" Xiao
He said slowly.
Chen Tian nodded, expressing his understanding, and then said: "That means the fate of the Ye Clan will not change with or without me."
"Yes, your appearance just accelerated their death." Xiao Jing said slowly.
"You did all this just to test me? And the Ye Clan is just a sideshow." Chen Tian said again.
"You can also say that, after all, we have to cooperate, and I will take a look at your strength." Xiao Jing said.
"Are you satisfied with the current results?" Chen Tian said, taking a sip of wine.
"Hahaha, if I wasn't satisfied I wouldn't be sitting here." Xiao Jing said with a laugh.
