After being tortured by Feng Tingye, it was three days after that Xia Yuqing saw Yin Xiang again.
“Young Master Yin, what happened to Xiao Yuan…” Xia Yuqing asked tentatively, holding Feng Tingye as a shield.
Yin Xiang smiled slightly: “Xiao Yuan and I are old acquaintances, I will naturally not make it hard on her. I will not pursue this matter, but it does not mean that those in the Xue Country will not try to pursue this.”
Feng Tingye held Xia Yuqing. With a lifted eyebrow, he looked at the beast that was finally showing its fangs to the opposite side. He said with a chuckle: “Zhen thinks this matter is not a big deal for Young Master Yin.”
Yin Xiang played with his fingers. The corners of his lips were slightly hooked and there was still a modest smile on his face, but Xia Yuqing instinctively felt the danger coming.
Uuuu…This kind of Young Master Yin is completely different from how he usually acts. He has an aura similar to the Ultra Seme Lord. He even has a smile that is similar to the Ultra Seme Lord! Oh my god! Even the only normal person, Young Master Yin, has blackened. In this broken world, what can I do to save you, oh my three views! ! !
“Indeed, it is not difficult for me to solve this matter, but why should I do that?”
Feng Tingye pulled Xia Yuqing over and let her sit on his lap. Without the slightest surprise, it was as if he had already expected it.
“I think Young Master Yin is a person who remembers past relationships. Even if Li Yuan has no relationship with you, you will not stand idly by when you recall your childhood relationship.”
Yin Xiang looked at Feng Tingye’s open gesture of affection. A trace of coldness flashed across his eyes and a bit of self-deprecation: “Xiao Yuan said something very right, whether it is her or me, we are not innocent children who know nothing. She has become calculative and I have become a merciless profiteer. Now that we are talking about the interests of two countries, not personal relationships, it is different and I think King Ye should know this better than I do.”
Feng Tingye embraced Xia Yuqing’s slender waist and rested his cheek on one hand: “So, if Ye Country doesn’t throw out some tempting benefits, Young Master Yin won’t help? Then what if I use the entire Xue Kingdom royal family to exchange for one Li Yuan? What do you think?”
Yin Xiang’s face changed slightly. His eyes sharpened when he looked at Feng Tingye: “King Ye has a big hand!”
Feng Tingye smiled without a care, as if the bargaining chip he just threw out was not the destruction of a dynasty, but a little cat and puppy that was not favored by their owner: “I have always been generous.”
Xia Yuqing who heard this rolled her eyes silently in his arms. In her heart, if the Ultra Seme Lord is generous, there will be no stingy person in this world.
“But this time the hand seems to be a bit too big. Let’s do it like this. If Young Master Yin feels uneasy, I might as well add another condition. In addition to separating Li Yuan from the Xue Kingdom imperial family from now on, I also hope that Young Master Yin will give the two neighboring cities between Ye and Xue to Ye Kingdom. They should be regarded as the dowry given by Master Yin as a brother to his younger sister. How about it?”
Yin Xiang’s momentum changed and he sneered a moment later. “The two neighboring cities of Ye and Xue are not small, King Ye thinks your proposal is worth this price? You should know that even without your help, with my current ability and the many deployments in Xue Country, Xue Country’s royal family will soon become a stepping stone under my feet.”
“Young Master Yin or should I say the Guanlongmen Clan’s strength is obvious to all. Zhen also believes that with Young Master Yin’s ability, Xue Country will be in your pocket sooner or later. It is just a matter of time. Young Master Yin is very clear that simply based on your current strength, you can’t completely contend with Xue Kingdom’s Royal Family. It will take three or five years of planning to subdue the Xue Kingdom Royal Family and these three to five years could have many variables. A long night is fraught with many dreams (undue delay may bring trouble). This truth is something Master Yin should understand. Xue Kingdom’s royal family is already in fear due to the growing strength of the Guanlongmen Clan. Who can guarantee that something won’t happen in these three or five years? But if Ye Kingdom is willing to intervene in this muddy water, within half a year if it’s quick or a year later if it’s delayed, Zhen can guarantee that Xue Country will be in Young Master Yin’s hand.”
Yin Xiang did not answer, he only stared at Feng Tingye with his pair of eyes. Feng Ting Ye looked at him indifferently and calmly.
The imperial study room fell into a dead silence. The only onlooker seemed to smell the faint smoke of gunpowder in the air.
Could this be the legendary… falling in love and killing each other! ! ! Xia Yuqing was getting red. Although she already knew that the Ultra Seme Lord isn’t bent and bending is impossible, her fantasies still…
Xia Yuqing was very excited to expand her brain. When she started to fantasize the beautiful men falling in love and killing each other, she suddenly felt a pain in her waist and turned her head in surprise. Feng Ting Ye gave her a warning look.
Xia Yuqing froze. It’s fine if there’s no affairs for her to observe, but she can’t even fantasize? Oooooo, not having affairs in her life is too tragic! ! !
After a long while, Yin Xiang took the lead in breaking the deadlock: “Everyone says that talking to smart people is easy, but they don’t know that talking to smarter people causes one to entrench themselves. As long as one little mistake is made, there would be no hope to recover. The suggestion of King Ye is really quite tempting, but…”
“Huh?”
“The ones on the side are easy to say, but those two cities are…”
Before Yin Xiang could finish, he was interrupted by Feng Tingye with a light smile. “Although the two cities occupy a large area, they are mostly barren land. If they are used in exchange for Master Yin’s great cause, Master Yin would not be at a loss.”
Xia Yuqing, who had been listening silently, saw Yin Xiang’s face hesitate and lightly coughed: “If Master Yin feels that he is suffering a loss, Ben Gong can make a decision and bestow you another thing.”
Yin Xiang was startled again when he heard this. He asked with interest: “What is it?
“Hm, Ben Gong can make the decision and promise the little imperial physician to be the wife of your stronghold, uh…no, it’s the wife of the town house!”
Xia Yuqing had heard from Cui Er the affairs of Yin Xiang and Xie Enqing. After listening to the affair between the two of them, Xia Yuqing scratched the walls. She was upset she wasn’t able to see the live broadcast!!! Thus, this would be the best time to use the little imperial physician as a bargaining chip!!!
“…” Feng Tingye’s eyebrows trembled uncontrollably, wife of the town house? Ai Fei, are you treating the little imperial doctor as a lucky cat (japanese figurine thought to bring good fortune)? Still wife of the town house? Have you ever thought about the feelings of the little imperial doctor’s family?
A bit of astonishment appeared on Yin Xiang’s face. Then, a moment later he smiled unexpectedly: “Deal.”
Feng Tingye’s mouth twitched. He could already imagine how Shao Zitang and the old imperial doctor would react afterwards. They will for sure rush into the palace to fight him desperately.
“However, there is one thing I am quite curious about. King Ye also said just now that the two neighboring cities of Ye and Xue are nothing but a barren realm, why would King Ye want those two places? You must know that the manpower and material resources required to reclaim two such large-scale wastelands may be more expensive than the military needs for a battle.”
Feng Tingye glanced at him lazily, and chuckled: “There’s nothing to it. Zhen just has money and is headstrong.”
“…”
In any case, the two big bad wolves happily signed the peace treaty and settled each other’s problems amicably.
Watching Yin Xiang leave the imperial study room, Xia Yuqing hugged Feng Tingye’s neck for a while, “What was going on? What was wrong with you just now? Why didn’t I understand at all?”
“… Ai Fei, if you didn’t understand, why did you just cut in?”
“Um…you were negotiating right? That was the only thing I understood.”
“…” So should Zhen praise you?
Feng Tingye looked at Xia Yuqing’s “I’m very smart, I’m very powerful, please praise me!” look and couldn’t help shake his head helplessly.
“Xue Kingdom is completely different from the other three countries. Apart from the imperial power, the strength of the Guanlongmen clan is not to be underestimated.”
“The Guanlongmen clan is where Yin Gongzi is located… Is Yin Gongzi the eldest son of the Guanlongmen clan chief?”
“Well, no. He is not the eldest son of the Guanlongmen clan chief. He is the de facto chief in power of the Guanlongmen clan.”
“The actual person in power?” Xia Yuqing’s eyes flashed brightly, very excited. Looking at Feng Tingye, she seemed to want to know more inside stories from him. This is all gossip. Gossip, her favorite gossip! ! !
Feng Tingye squeezed her nose: “The previous imperial power and the Guanlongmen clan coexisted peacefully, but everyone has one thing in common. The longer one stays in a high position, the less restrained one will be. Therefore, Xue Kingdom’s imperial family had an early suspicion about the existence of the Guanlongmen sect. Over the past few years, they have often used various excuses to hinder the Guanlongmen clan. The Guanlongmen clan has long been harassed by the imperial family and found it intolerable. The existence of Yin Gongzi is to subvert the royal family.”
“Subvert the royal family?” Xia Yuqing asked confusedly with countless big question marks on her head.
“Why does Ai Fei think Young Master Yin is here this time?”
“Isn’t it for Xiao Yuan?”
Feng Tingye’s lips raised in ridicule: “Yes, it’s to marry Li Yuan. Then do you know why he wants to marry Li Yuan?”
“Well, is it not because of their childhood love?”
“Perhaps this is one of the reasons, but there is another reason.”
“What reason?”
“Li Yuan’s body contains the blood of the Royal Family of the Xue Country.”
“Huh?” Xia Yuqing was stunned, looking at Feng Tingye in surprise.
Feng Tingye touched her face and smiled: “Li Yuan is the youngest princess of the Xue Country. Even if the Xue King does not admit it, she still has the blood of the Xue Country’s royal family. If Yin Xiang marries her, then he will be a member of the royal family. When the time comes, all the inferior princes of Xue Country will be ousted. Then, who do you think the throne of Xue Country will fall to?”
“You mean, Master Yin wants to be the emperor?”
Feng Tingye nodded: “The Xue King is licentious and tyrannical. Most of the remaining princes are incompetent people like Yin Ming. Even if Li Yuan is a woman, as long as Yin Xiang assists her, Xue Country’s throne would be at her fingertips. But now that Li Yuan doesn’t want to marry him, he has no choice but to find another way out and I have given him a way out just now. Ai Fei…”
Feng Tingye finished speaking, bowed his head, and faced Xia Yuqing’s bright eyes.
“Young Master Yin wants to be the emperor? So I have given the little imperial physician to him as a future Queen of the Kingdom? Ai ya, I’ve lost big time!!!”
“…” Ai Fei, after talking for a long time, you only heard this sentence? That’s the wrong point!
Feng Tingye shook his head helplessly. Thinking about it, he couldn’t help but laugh. That’s fine, these messy things are really not suitable for the person in his arms… The storms and chaos outside, he, himself, is prepared to resist it for her.
“What should I do? What should I do? Such a big loss, should Chen Qie go to Young Master Yin and ask him to give two more cities to you? Since he agreed so readily, it……..”
Feng Tingye looked at Xia Yuqing’s bitter expression like the sky was about to fall and kissed her bitter little face: “There’s no loss. The future queen of Xue Country is still a citizen of Ye Country and is the little cousin of Ye’s Shangshu. From this point of view, there is no loss.”
“…”
Regardless of whether it was a loss or not, three days later, Yin Xiang took Yin Ming and the others to prepare to return to Xue Country. Feng Tingye and Xia Yuqing led a group of people to see him off.
It was unclear what Yin Xiang did to Yin Ming and the others, but at the beginning these two had aggressively wanted to take Li Yuan back home. Yet, now returning empty-handed, they did not act depressed or dare say a word of complaint.
After a few exchanges of small talk between Feng Tingye and Yin Xiang, Feng Tingye thoughtfully embraced Xia Yuqing’s waist and exited. He was leaving time for the two childhood sweethearts who reunited after a long time and are now parting.
“Xiao Yuan…”
“Sorry, Brother Xiang, I…”
Yin Xiang looked at the girl with her head down with a guilty face. He couldn’t help but smile: “It’s not Xiao Yuan’s fault, you don’t have to care too much. You are right, since we are no longer the same, we can’t be attached to the past.”
Yin Xiang rubbed Li Yuan’s head like he did when he was younger, his eyes showed the kind of love that an elder had for the younger ones. Li Yuan obviously discovered this and laughed happily.
At this moment, Yin Xiang keenly sensed a killing intent rumbling out from not far away. The intuition he had cultivated through his long-term exposure instantly allowed him to understand where this hostile gaze came from.
