Laughing, the host always wants to escape

Chapter 146 The Regent Has a Beautiful Girl in His Golden House (53)

Hearing his slightly warning words, Tangcuo immediately stopped talking about the topic and sighed helplessly.

"Are you hungry? I'll ask someone to make some food and bring it over. How about I stay here with you today?" Mu Hanqing stood up and tidied his clothes.

"Ah? Your Majesty is not going to court?"

"The affairs of the court are handled by others, so they are naturally not as important as Ah Cuo who accompanies me. By the way, the peach blossoms in the courtyard have sprouted new branches. When I come back, I will take you to see them."

Seeing him about to leave, Tangcuo hurriedly called out to him, "Prince, can the chains on me be…"

"If Acuo performs well, I will consider taking it off." Mu Hanqing curled the corners of his lips and walked towards the side courtyard with a refreshed look.

Looking at his receding back, Tang Cuo stabbed him fiercely a few times, then sat back on the bed helplessly, "Xiao Ye, I suddenly regret coming back. By the way, how is Murong Yuan doing now?"

[Uh... Murong Yuan is about to meet with the young emperor of the Rong Dynasty. However, after what happened last night, he may not necessarily negotiate.]

Hearing his words, Tangcuo's expression became more serious. "Does that mean they are going to fight?"

[Yes, and the fuse of the war is still in you.]

Tang Cuo raised his hand to support his chin, his eyes wandering a little, "Now Mu Hanqing's crazy index has not shown any trend of rising, it seems that I have to stimulate him again, and by the way, I have to take this opportunity to give Murong Yuan some psychological counseling..."

[The host has thought very comprehensively.]

"By the way, where is Guan Shang? Mu Hanqing brought me back with such fanfare, but miraculously she didn't come to cause trouble for me?"

[Replying to the host, not long after you escaped, Guan Shang was placed under house arrest by Mu Hanqing, and the little maidservant beside her was also kept under guard.]

"So that's how it is?" Tang Cuo pursed his lips, "It can be considered that evildoers get their comeuppance."

On the other side, the young emperor sent someone to announce Murong Yuan's entry into the palace. He sat upright in the main hall. The ministers on both sides had already been dismissed by him, leaving only the left prime minister sitting upright on one side.

Murong Yuan concealed the anger in his heart and looked up at the little emperor sitting on the dragon throne.

"I never thought that the Prince of Li from the Northern Dynasty would be such a young hero." The little emperor said with a smile, "Quick, please take a seat."

"No need." Murong Yuan raised his hand to stop him.

Seeing his cold and hard expression, the little emperor cast his gaze towards Xiao Chengyu standing to the side, and then asked, "Is Prince Li dissatisfied with anything?"

Murong Yuan sneered, turned around and looked at Xiao Chengyu, asking in a pressing tone, "I remember that there were preconditions for me to sign a ceasefire agreement with your Rong Dynasty, right?"

"Yes, you said you wanted someone, so I gave him to you. It was a deal, we were both willing. How could there be anything that didn't meet your expectations?" Xiao Chengyu's eyes were cold.

"Not to my liking? Your Rong Dynasty is very good at entertaining guests. Last night, the brave and warlike King Rong'an led the imperial guards to surround the place where I live and took my people away right under my nose. How do you think this is to my liking?" Murong Yuan clenched his fingers into fists.

"Is this true?" The little emperor looked at Xiao Chengyu in surprise.

"Your Majesty, we in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion are not aware of this matter."

"It seems that the rumor that Prince Rong'an was covering up everything is true. He was able to conceal such a big thing without leaking a single drop of information. I really admire him." Murong Yuan looked at the two of them and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty Prince Rong, how should we settle this grudge?"

"This... Eunuch Li, go to Prince Rong'an's mansion and summon Prince Rong'an to see him." The little emperor looked up at the eunuch beside him and gave the order.

"Yes, I'll go right away." Eunuch Li walked quickly towards the direction of Prince Rong'an's Mansion.

"Your Majesty, please be patient. Our Rong Dynasty will definitely give you an explanation. Why don't we sit down and talk first?"

After hearing his words, Murong Yuan stepped towards the chair beside him and sat upright.

In just half an incense stick of time, Eunuch Li hurried back.

"Has Prince Rong'an arrived?" the little emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Rong'an said that he... said that he was not feeling well and might not be able to see you, and he will... return the tiger talisman." Eunuch Li handed the tiger talisman in his hand to the little emperor.

"This..." Hearing his words, the little emperor's face turned ugly, "Uncle Wang, is there anything else to say?"

"The prince also said... he also said that if you are here for Tangcuo, then don't say anything, because Tangcuo will only be his in this life and the next."

Several people turned their eyes to Murong Yuan at the same time. Seeing that his face became increasingly gloomy, the little emperor was suddenly speechless.

"His people, huh!" Murong Yuan stood up, "In that case, let's stop the peace talks today. When His Majesty Prince Rong escorts His Highness back to me, we can talk again.

Three days later, I will set off to return to Libei Dynasty. If I still can’t see Your Highness by then, I think our soldiers have been lazy for a long time, and we should let them stretch their muscles again…” As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Yuan turned and left.

Watching him leaving, the little emperor swallowed his words to try to keep him.

Xiao Chengyu clenched his fingers slightly, then looked at the serious-looking little emperor and bowed slightly, "Your Majesty..."

"Left Prime Minister, please speak frankly." The little emperor sighed.

"Your Majesty, I think that Prince Rong'an is acting a little too ostentatiously. If he continues like this, he will destroy the peace we have worked so hard to achieve." Xiao Chengyu's eyes were grim.

"What does the Left Prime Minister think we should do?"

Hearing his words, Xiao Chengyu knelt directly in front of him, folded his hands in front of his forehead, and said, "Your Majesty, please punish King Rong'an for disobeying the imperial order, and at the same time order King Rong'an to return Tangcuo to King Li."

"Left Prime Minister, it's not that I don't want to do this. What if my uncle still doesn't follow my orders? Should I punish him?" The little emperor looked a little confused. "He's my uncle, my father's brother, and he's also a hero who helped the royal family build the country..."

"Your Majesty, don't lose sight of the big picture because of the small. Your ability has long been enough to break away from the Regent. If you continue to be by his side, how can you win the support of the people?" A dark light flashed in Xiao Chengyu's eyes. "You can choose another way to deal with him instead of killing him because of his achievements."

"another way?"

"Guarding the border, with King Rong'an's ability, he will surely be able to keep the country stable for a hundred years. Why not do it?"

"This... let me think about it." The little emperor supported the table in front of him and slowly sat down, "You go down first."

"Yes, Your Majesty." As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chengyu nodded slightly, then turned and left.
