Chapter 220
Jealousy(3)
Back then, when Guo Rong rebelled against the Emperor Gong of Hou Jin, Xie Xuanchen was the one who stabbed Emperor Gong of Hou Jin to death, avenging his mother’s death. Later, when Guo Rong died and Xie Yi became the emperor, Xie Yi hesitated to receive the crown, but Xie Xuanchen immediately prepared the yellow robe and cut off Xie Yi’s retreat.
Emperor Gong of the Later Jin Dynasty, the old emperor of the Later Shu Dynasty, the Emperor Zhou Ai, the Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty… There are several famous and famous emperors who were planted in the hands of Xie Xuanchen, not to mention the local emperors who established themselves as kings.
Xie Xuanchen had never been a quiet person. He would not be submissive to others, nor would he be subservient to others.
Now seeing Xie Xuanchen restoring his fighting spirit, the old generals were relieved to see it. Heart death is much more serious than contracting an inexplicable madness. As long as Xie Xuanchen’s ambition is still there, all the confusion at the moment is not a problem. They thought.
Xie Xuanchen just smiled lightly when he heard Ma Chong’s words, and did not admit it, but did not deny it either. Ma Chong was really curious. He quietly changed his position, and from an angle where he couldn’t see the shape of his mouth, he whispered, “My lord, why is this?”
Why was there such a big change? Back then, when Xie Yi was there, the situation was a thousand times better than it was now, but he had never seen Xie Xuanchen as calm as he was now.
Why? Xie Xuanchen also wanted to know. After his fathers death, he thought that he would not live for long, and it would be vain to fight, but now he wanted to fight against his enemies, maybe because of his princess.
Ma Chong was sure that Xie Xuanchen heard it, but he didn’t get an answer, and he saw Xie Xuanchen was looking somewhere. So he followed Xie Xuanchen’s gaze and found that a beauty in purple was entering the door.
The lights were shining brightly, and the palace servants and doors behind her became the background, as if they were in a silent picture. The candlelights in the hall lit up for her alone, the ladies who shuttled around became insignificant additions to the picture, and even the singer on the stage became her foil.
She stood at the door and looked left and right, seemed to see Xie Xuanchen, and immediately walked in his direction.
Ma Chong seemed to understand, so he winked Xiong Ying, but he didn’t get the meaning of winking. So Ma Chong quickly pulled Xiong Ying away.
When Xiong Ying was dragged away by Ma Chong, he was very reluctant, and complained angrily: “What are you pulling me for? It’s hard to see the prince once, and I still have a lot to say.”
“You really are an old man. Didn’t you find out?”
“What’s wrong? What didn’t I find out?”
“When you find out, the stone will turn to ashes. The lord wanted to leave for a long time, but you are blind, and you keep pulling the lord to drink.”
Xie Xuanchen laughed without saying a word when he heard Ma Chong and Xiong Ying’s voices gradually moving away. When Mu Mingtang approached, she found that there was no one in front of the table. She felt strange and asked, “I just saw someone in front of you, why did they leave so quickly?”
“They have finished talking. So they left. Anyway, where have you been and why have you been taking so long?” Xie Xuanchen pulled Mu Mingtang to sit down and asked.
“I went out to get some air, sober up by the way, and I went far.”
After seeing her annoying expressions, Xie Xuanchen seemed to understand something and asked her, “Have you met someone on the road?”
“Well.” After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, she motioned for Xie Xuanchen to come closer. Xie Xuanchen lowered his body in cooperation and heard Mu Mingtang say mysteriously: “I just went out and met Jiang Mingwei and Xie Xuanji.”
Xie Xuanchen raised his eyebrows as soon as he heard it. “Who?”
Mu Mingtang quickly grabbed his hand and said, “Listen to me first. I seem to have accidentally had a conflict with Jiang Mingwei.”
Xie Xuanchen looked back at her and asked with a smile, “What’s wrong?”
Mu Mingtang told the conversation between her and Xie Xuanji just now to Xie Xuanchen. She also emphasized that Xie Xuanji did not know about the connection between Jiang Mingwei and Xie Xuanchen.”
When Xie Xuanchen heard that, he raised eyebrows. He was really excited this time: “What does this have to do with me? I don’t know her.”
“I know.” Mu Mingtang smiled and pulled him, realizing that many people around were watching them, she had to signal Xie Xuanchen to keep a low profile, “I didn’t tell you before, you should be quieter, I will tell you that now.”
Jiang Mingwei went outside the hall to relax, but she met Mu Mingtang there, and had a fight with her, so she became very frustrated. Then she returned to the banquet hall, but unexpectedly found that neither Xie Xuanji nor Mu Mingtang came back.
She sat for a while without seeing Xie Xuanji. Because of boredom, her eyes could not help falling to the opposite side.
Xie Xuanchen sat in the main chair next to the emperor. In that way, her seat was just on the opposite side. Jiang Mingwei watched for a while, and saw Xie Xuanchen talking and laughing with his former courtier. He was very neat when drinking, and he drank the whole gla.s.s without looking at it. His slender neck raises upwards when drinking, revealing Adam’s apple, which slides up and down, and when he puts down his hand, the wine in the gla.s.s is empty.
The young man was in high spirits.
Jiang Mingwei couldn’t help sighing in her heart.
After a while, warriors who were standing in front of Xie Xuanchen finally dispersed, and she saw a smile in Xie Xuanchen’s eyes, as if the moonlight was shining on the water, sparkling and floating. So she couldn’t help following his gaze, and found that it was Mu Mingtang who had returned.
Jiang Mingwei’s face suddenly sank. Why is it always her, unlucky.
After Mu Mingtang came back, Xie Xuanchen leaned over to Mu Mingtang and talked with her. Their faces were so close that they almost pressed together. After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, Xie Xuanchen frowned and turned around, obviously p.i.s.sed off. Many people around also turned to look at them, but Mu Mingtang smiled and pulled him, trying to pull him back.
Jiang Mingwei was on the opposite side and could see it very clearly. Xie Xuanchen looked angry, but in fact his eyes and demeanor were smiling. The two of them were not so angry, they were laughing.
Jiang Mingwei watched all this happen with her own eyes, and her mood was so complicated so she didn’t know when Xie Xuanji came back.
Xie Xuanji looked at Jiang Mingwei silently, and suddenly asked, “What are you looking at?”
