my prime minister my wife

Chapter 3 Unbearable Zhang Yi

Mu Wangfu.

After Mu Yan returned to the study in Fuchu.

"Liuxuan." He called out to the hidden guard hidden in the dark.

A figure appeared in front of Mu Yan in the dark, knelt on the ground and said, "This subordinate is here."

Mu Yan played with the jade pendant in his hand, looked at Liu Xuan who was kneeling on the ground, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said to Liu Xuan: "Mobilize all the forces to find out Xiao Jiuge's identity for me."

"Your subordinate obeys." Liu Xuan clasped his fists together, and then disappeared into the darkness.

Turning around, Mu Yan walked to the table, and Xiao Jiuge, who was strategizing on the chessboard, couldn't help reappearing in his mind, and then he said lightly, "Xiao Jiuge, who are you?"

The next day, in the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xiao Jiuge was writing with a pen when he saw a figure coming down from the beam.

Seeing Xiao Jiuge writing, Ye Feng didn't want to disturb Xiao Jiuge, so he stood beside Xiao Jiuge and kept silent.

Xiao Jiuge heard the sound, looked up and saw Ye Feng standing aside, still not stopping writing.

He asked, "What's the matter, tell me."

Ye Feng knelt on the ground and said: "Master, Ye Feng found out that today the second prince of the Nanyue Kingdom will go to the Xiluo Kingdom with many gifts under the emperor's order to ask the Emperor Xiluo to form an alliance with Nanyue and borrow troops to resist Dongli's army."

"Oh?" Xiao Jiuge picked up the ending, and Xiao Jiuge seemed to be laughing at Nanyue's actions, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

With deep irony in Xiao Jiuge's eyes, he said to Ye Feng: "Ye Feng, you take some people to pretend to be bandits, and deliver gifts to the second prince of Nanyue through the mountain at the junction of Nanyue and Xiluo. place, take the gift away, and then..."

A stern look seemed to flash across Xiao Jiuge's eyes, and when he finished the last word on the paper, he smiled softly and said, "Not one left..."

"Yes, this subordinate takes orders." Ye Feng clasped his fists and disappeared on the spot.

Putting down the pen in his hand, Xiao Jiuge walked slowly to the window.

Outside the study, a tree of pear blossoms was in full bloom, disturbing one after another, the breeze blowing by, and the pear blossoms circling in the air with the wind, outlining a beautiful picture scroll.

Looking at Yishu Lihua outside, Xiao Jiuge said lightly: "It's time to end..."

He has no attachment to this world of mortals.

He lived in this world just to destroy everything owned by those who bullied him.

Closing his eyes, Xiao Jiuge let the breeze blow into the room with the fragrance of pear blossoms.

Slowly, it seemed that a tear appeared beside Xiao Jiuge's tightly closed eyes.

But at that moment, that tear fell down his neck, and everything seemed like nothing happened...

At night, when it was child time, Xiao Jiuge returned to the bedroom after taking a bath, and was about to change clothes and go to sleep.

Suddenly, he stopped what he was doing, looked at the shadow of the beam in the bedroom, and said: "This is the first time I know that this famous Dongli God of War has the habit of being a gentleman on the beam."

As soon as the words fell, a figure jumped down from the beam of the room, looked carefully, wasn't it the Prince Mu from yesterday?

Xiao Jiuge sat on the stool, looked at Mu Yan who was still dressed in black, and said, "Tell me, why is Prince Mu coming to my prime minister's mansion?"

Mu Yan was not polite, and sat down opposite Xiao Jiuge, and said without changing his expression: "Yesterday, my king played against Xiao Cheng, and I was so fascinated for a while that I forgot the sweetness of the tea I drank. Afterwards, I went back to the palace to recollect it , I feel that I really miss the prime minister's tea, I wonder if this king can ask the prime minister for a cup of tea?"

Xiao Jiuge smiled lightly, but said, "Not good."

Mu Yan thought he heard it wrong, so he couldn't help but let out an "ah".

"I won't give it." Xiao Jiuge repeated to Mu Yan what he had just said.

Mu Yan rubbed the jade pendant in his hand, seemingly puzzled, he said: "This is the first time this king knows that the famous Prime Minister Dongli is actually such a stingy person."

Xiao Jiuge frowned, as if he didn't want to be misunderstood and said: "This tea is very precious, and there are only a few taels a year. If you want to go, what should I drink?"

Mu Yan learned that Xiao Jiuge didn't give it because of the preciousness of the tea, so he couldn't help shaking his head, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Prime Minister Dongli to be such a tea-loving person. It seems that you are only a weak year, and you look like an old man." Live like that."

Xiao Jiuge frowned even deeper, he didn't like what Muyan said.

But he didn't show it, but he thought in his heart: How can Prince Mu be so frivolous and like to make fun of others.

Seeing that Xiao Jiuge didn't move, Mu Yan could only say: "Since Prime Minister Xiao can't bear to give up love, can I let this king come to the prime minister's mansion for tea when I have time?"

Xiao Jiuge didn't know how to describe his mood at this time, so he replied angrily and funny: "Okay, this tea is 200 taels a pot, the prince can do whatever he wants."

Mu Yan frowned, and slowly moved closer to Xiao Jiuge's face, as if he wanted to see something clearly.

Seeing Mu Yan's actions, Xiao Jiuge only felt panicked.

Eight years ago, that dark and cold memory was used at this moment, and Xiao Jiuge only felt that his whole body was resisting Mu Yan's actions.

Xiao Jiuge yelled out of control, "What are you doing?"

Seeing Xiao Jiuge who seemed to be out of control, Mu Yan's eyes flashed with surprise.

Then he sat down and replied: "I suspect that I didn't know people well before, so I didn't realize that Prime Minister Xiao had the potential to be a profiteer."

After seeing Mu Yan sit down, Xiao Jiuge seemed to have returned to his usual calm appearance.

I saw him lowering his eyes slowly, as if he was hiding his emotions: "To be a profiteer, you must first be deceived before you can become a profiteer."

As soon as Xiao Jiuge finished speaking, Mu Yan took out a 1000 taels of silver from his sleeve and said, "Xiao traitor, I didn't bring enough money tonight, and I only have this 1000 taels on me. Even if this king paid in advance for the five pots of tea How about the tea money?"

Xiao Jiuge watched Mu Yan casually take out 1000 taels of silver bills without frowning at all.

He chuckled lightly and said: "I heard that there are many gold and silver jewels, precious calligraphy and paintings in Prince Mu's mansion, and the wealth is beyond rivals. Now when I see it, I know that the rumors I heard are true."

Getting up, Xiao Jiuge went to the shelf to get a small jar made of jade, and gently poured out the tea leaves.

He began to burn incense, wash his hands, and brew this pot of tea for Mu Yan.

The process of making tea is cumbersome, and Mu Yan also felt very bored, so his eyes were looking around.

Suddenly his eyes glanced, and he saw the lyre covered in dust in the corner of Xiao Jiuge's room...

Mu Yan played with the jade cup used to hold tea, and asked casually, "Is Prime Minister Xiao proficient in rhythm?"

Xiao Jiuge, who was making tea, looked up and saw Mu Yan tilting his head to look at his lyre in the corner.

I saw Xiao Jiuge's body startled, and there seemed to be an imperceptible sadness in his eyes.

But in the next second, he concealed the sadness in his eyes: "I have never been proficient in temperament, let alone this lyre."

Mu Yan saw that Xiao Jiuge didn't want to mention the lyre anymore, and he couldn't make fun of himself, so he could only play with the jade cup embarrassingly.

At this time, the tea had already been brewed, Xiao Jiuge raised his hand, rolled up his sleeves, and poured tea for Mu Yan.

Afterwards, he poured himself a cup of tea and sat opposite Mu Yan.

The two were speechless.

As if to break the deadlock, Mu Yan said: "Yesterday, after I left the Prime Minister's residence, I also missed the Prime Minister's superb chess skills very much. I wonder if I can play a game or two with the Prime Minister today."

Xiao Jiuge's hand holding the tea cup trembled unnoticed.

He knew that Mu Yan was also a smart person.

He tried to play another game of chess with him, in order to obtain favorable information from this chess game, or to learn some more clues.

Xiao Jiuge could only shake his head, and said: "I'm sorry, my lord, please excuse me for having a hard time competing with my lord. Today, I'm not feeling well and in a bad mood. I hope my lord will leave after drinking this pot of tea."

Mu Yan knew that he wouldn't take the words out of Xiao Jiuge's mouth again, and he thought that if he didn't drink it, he wouldn't drink it for nothing, and that the tea was indeed of the highest quality.

In a blink of an eye, he drank several cups of tea in a row, like a cow chewing peonies, leaving less than one-third of the tea in the teapot.

Xiao Jiuge looked at his tea with distress, but Mu Yan poured it down his stomach like drinking. He wanted to take back the teapot in Mu Yan's hand, but there was no reason to take it back.

After all, this pot of tea cost this Prince Mu 200 taels of silver, so he could only watch with distress as the tea was poured into the mouth of the man who had no taste for tea.

Cannibals are soft-spoken and short-handed, Xiao Jiuge understood the meaning of this common saying.

After finishing a pot of tea, Mu Yan bowed his hands and said goodbye to him, telling him to leave.

Stepping on the window sill, Mu Yan was about to use his lightness skills to leave, but he was stopped by Xiao Jiuge's cry. He almost tripped over the window sill and fell out of the window.

Then a small jade jar flew in front of him, and Mu Yan subconsciously caught it.

I could only hear Xiao Jiuge saying from behind: "Here are the few taels of tea just now, not many, but they are all treasures. These can be considered as the 1000 taels of tea that Prince Mu just paid."

Mu Yan was taken aback for a moment, he naturally knew what Xiao Jiuge meant.

The purpose of giving him tea is to prevent him from disturbing him in the middle of the night and affecting his sleep, and also not to let him see that the tea that Mu Yan regards him as a treasure is drunk like wine.

But don't bother him?is it possible?

Turning around, Xiao Jiuge began to clean up the leftover mess of Mu Yan.

I saw Ye Feng coming out of the dark.

Feeling Ye Feng's approach, Xiao Jiuge stopped what he was doing, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ye Feng clasped his fists and said, "Back to Master, Ying Luo said that she has something important to report to Master."

"Tell her, I'll go find him tomorrow." Xiao Jiuge thought for a while and replied.

"Master, there is one more thing I want to tell the master." Ye Feng said.

"Say." Xiao Jiuge responded.

"Master, my subordinates just found out that someone is investigating the identity of the master in the past few days. The subordinates have wiped out all the clues, but I don't know if the master wants the subordinates to find out who is the person who is investigating?" Ye Feng said.

Xiao Jiuge smiled lightly: "No, there are so many people who want to know my identity. If I investigate one by one, wouldn't I be exhausted? Step back."

"Yes." Ye Feng clasped his fists and stepped back, before disappearing into the darkness again.

On the other side, Prince Mu's Mansion.

Liu Xuan was kneeling on the ground and reporting to Mu Yan: "My lord, forgive me for my incompetence. I can't find out who Prime Minister Xiao is. When I was investigating a few days ago, there seemed to be a force preventing my subordinates from finding out who Xiao is. The identity of the prime minister, and the clues about Prime Minister Xiao seemed to have disappeared overnight after the investigation by the subordinates."

"Oh?" Mu Yan looked at the small jade pot containing tea leaves that Xiao Jiuge gave him in his hand and said, "This Xiao Jiuge is really not simple, even I can't find out who he is."

He seemed to be thinking for a while, and then Mu Yan asked: "In my opinion, Xiao Jiuge and the emperor are not like a monarch and his ministers, but rather a cooperative relationship. When you investigate, you can find out how the emperor and Xiao Jiuge are. Do you know each other?"

Liu Xuan knelt on the ground and replied: "My lord, my subordinates found out that Prime Minister Xiao met the emperor four years ago when the emperor was offering incense in the Taimiao Temple. At first, the emperor put Prime Minister Xiao in a humble place. However, in the following year, the emperor promoted Prime Minister Xiao to be the crown prince. Another year after Prime Minister Xiao became the crown prince, he was directly promoted to the right minister. It quickly caused dissatisfaction among the court officials, but was suppressed by the emperor afterwards."

Mu Yan smiled slightly: "Oh, they really are a cooperative relationship."

"My lord, do you not understand?" Liu Xuan had already got up at this time, and asked Mu Yan in confusion.

Mu Yan said: "Their acquaintance in the back mountain is definitely because Xiao Jiuge said a condition that made the emperor's heart move, which led to the cooperative relationship between the two, and the dog emperor first put Xiao Jiuge in an inconspicuous position, Because he knows that if Xiao Jiuge is directly appointed as the prime minister, it will cause chaos in the court and official circles, and cause dissatisfaction among the officials."

After finishing speaking, Mu Yan paused, and then said: "In the next two years, it seemed reckless for the emperor to mention Xiao Jiuge as the right minister, but he also had his reasons. He wanted to get Nanyue, and the commander This military man is either handsome or prime minister, so two years later, Xiao Jiuge was promoted to prime minister."

Mu Yan sneered, "And the conditions for the two of them to cooperate are..."
