Chapter 215 Everyone's come to settle scores with him
"Master, why has Ye Lan set his sights on the Princess this time?"
Xuan Yuan did not answer. After pondering for a moment, he continued, "Let Fei E handle this matter. Tell your men at the post station to beat those two damned prime ministers up, and to go all out."
"Those two are supposed to be foreign envoys. Wouldn't it be strange to teach them a lesson right under the emperor's nose?"
"Ha! I'm just trying to cause trouble for Yuan Huaijun. If it weren't for my feelings for the Empress Dowager, I would have killed those two old bastards without hesitation." He didn't care that the walls were overheard and addressed the Emperor Yuan by his full name without any restraint.
Liu Qing hesitated for a long time, then asked cautiously, "Master, we can handle Ye Lan, but what about the Princess..."
His eyes, as black as night, reflected a chilling light as he coldly uttered, "Go and do it!"
"Yes, Master." Liu Qing didn't dare to delay and turned to leave the palace. He knew that his master couldn't just stand by and watch the princess become empress.
The Feiying Hall was filled with swirling smoke, like clouds and mist. The ambergris incense in the censer was burning vigorously. Xie Cangming lay casually on the chaise longue, his snow-white hair falling loosely to the ground.
"I'm telling you, aren't you going to go and take a look? The Chao'en Hall is practically in chaos."
"What's the rush? This national teacher doesn't enjoy watching the spectacle."
Feng Qingyang rolled her eyes without any politeness. "You don't like watching the excitement, but I do!"
"Hehe~ Then go and see!"
He took out a token from his pocket and casually tossed it to the other side, saying, "This is the only token I have. Go if you want. If anything happens, I will take responsibility."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a figure in black strode in from outside the door.
Xuan Yuan's face was gloomy, his eyes filled with frost. "Ha! You'll take responsibility for anything, that's quite the loyalty."
"Oh! Prince Xuan, what an honor to have you here! I am so sorry for not welcoming you sooner." Xie Cangming said this, but he was still lying on the couch, extremely lazy and not wanting to move at all.
"Hehe~ A Yuan." Feng Qingyang chuckled awkwardly, feeling a little guilty and not daring to look him in the eye.
He scoffed, "Feng Qingyang, when did you become so close to him?"
“Uh…” Feng Qingyang touched his nose, without offering any further explanation.
Xie Cangming sat up straight and said quietly, "Is the banquet over? Why are you alone? Where is my Mo'er? Why didn't you bring her?"
"How dare you say that? I ask you, what did you say to Lord Yuan Huai at Wangxiantai this morning?"
"My Lord Xuan, why are you so angry?"
Xuan Yuan showed him no respect whatsoever, his icy tone filled with hostility, "Xie Cangming, you were the one who said that Yan'er and I were a match made in heaven and insisted that I marry Yan'er. What's going on with Yuan Huaijun now?"
"This is in the Feiying Hall; it's not appropriate to address His Majesty by his full name like this outside."
Feng Qingyang peeked out and asked with a grin, "What happened?"
"Don't think I don't know. You two are fully aware of what's going on in the Chao'en Palace. Now that he wants to make Yan'er his empress, did you tell him that Yan'er is the chosen one?"
When did I say that?
"So, Yan'er is not the Empress chosen by Yuan Huai Jun?"
"When did I say that?"
"Thank you, Cangming!" He narrowed his eyes, his fists clenching so tightly they cracked.
Xie Cangming chuckled, "Xuanyuan, Xuanyuan, I thought your unchanging deadpan face was all there was to it, but I never expected that my little Mo'er could change you so much."
"It has nothing to do with you, I only want Yan'er."
"Then why didn't you keep a close eye on Mo'er? What are you doing here?"
"Hmph! Of course I'm here to settle accounts with you. I won't let anyone who stands in the way of me being with Yan'er get away with it."
Xie Cangming's lips twitched violently, and he hurriedly explained, "I only predicted that Yuan Qi would soon welcome the Empress Dowager and the Crown Prince. I never said that this phenomenon could only be Mo'er. You know that His Majesty has feelings for Mo'er. Isn't he just using this as an excuse to keep Mo'er by his side?"
"Is Yan'er the person the strange phenomenon refers to?"
"Hmm~" Xie Cangming frowned slightly, pursing his lips, unsure of where to begin.
"Yes and no."
"What do you mean?"
He raised his hands high and stretched leisurely. "This strange phenomenon is indeed referring to Mo'er, but you are also Mo'er's destined one. They say that things can be accomplished by human effort. What, do you still lack confidence in yourself?"
Xuan Yuan glared at him, then turned and sat down on a chair. "No one can stop me, not even Yuan Huaijun."
"Hey~ A-Yuan, what's the deal with the Yelan Kingdom?"
"none of your business?"
"..."
Feng Qingyang choked on her words, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. "After all these years of following you all over the country, is it wrong for me to care about you?"
“In that case, teach him a lesson.” He pointed at Xie Cangming’s nose without any politeness.
"..."
"..."
The two fell silent at the same time; he really had come specifically to settle accounts with Xie Cangming.
"Xuan Yuan, besides teaching me a lesson, what else do you plan to do?"
"Make Lord Yuan Huai retract his decree and grant us a marriage."
"...Do you think that's possible? He's the ruler of a country; his imperial decree is not to be disobeyed."
"At worst... I'll quit being the Xuan King, break with the royal family, and take Yan'er far away."
If Hua Buyu heard these words, he would definitely be furious and curse them, saying that only officials are allowed to set fires, while ordinary people are not allowed to light lamps.
In fact, the kind of employees you have determines the kind of boss you get...
Xie Cangming simply smiled meaningfully at him and didn't say anything more.
Just then, they heard a series of light footsteps. The three of them looked towards the door and saw Xin Moling leading Shui Yi in, both of them with livid faces.
"My Feiying Hall is really lively tonight. One or two people are not attending the banquet, but have come here to have tea."
"What are you doing here?" Xin Moling said irritably, her anger, which had just subsided, instantly reignited.
"I'm here to settle accounts with him. What are you doing here? Where's Yan'er?"
He turned around, giving Xie Cangming a sinister glare, "I'm here to settle accounts with him too."
"..." Xie Cangming's lips twitched again. Was it really necessary for these two guys?
Where is Yan'er?
"none of your business?"
"..."
"Pfft... Hahaha... Ah... Xuan Wang, you've finally met your match, hahaha..." Seeing him rendered speechless by his future brother-in-law's equally sharp retort, Feng Qingyang couldn't help but burst into laughter, almost calling him by the wrong name.
"Is it that funny?" he said, his face grim, almost spitting out the words through clenched teeth.
Feng Qingyang immediately fell silent, reluctantly daring not to say another word.
"Xie Cangming, what did you say to His Majesty this morning?"
He didn't answer Xin Moling's question; his blue eyes remained fixed, staring intently at the blue figure behind him.
"Oh! This young lady looks unfamiliar. She's probably not from Yuanqi. General Xin, why don't you introduce her?"
