♂?，，

  Xiao Dalie looked at his younger brother and didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked: "How's the business going?"

  Xiao Su didn't understand why her sister asked this question at this time, and truthfully replied: "Business is very good, the pure profit for this month is several tens of thousands. It seems that within half a year, the capital will be recovered."

  Xiao Dalie smiled beautifully, unlike other women who generally use expressions to express their emotions. Xiao Dalie can now use her expression to conceal her thoughts, she doesn't want to tell all her plans to Xiao Sulie, even if he is her own younger brother, in this vortex of power, the only person she can trust is herself.

  "It seems that Chen Shimei is indeed good at doing business and also very diligent in assisting the prince."

  Xiao Su's eyes spun rapidly, and she didn't understand the meaning of these words either. She tentatively asked, "Then, when he comes back, can we promote him a bit? Let him be grateful to us?"

  Xiao Dalie slightly shook her head: "From now on, don't do anything. Some things will be done by others for us. Since others are willing to help, why should we take action?"

  Xiao Su seemed to have realized something: "But sister, relying on Ye Yuren and the others, it seems insufficient to let Hong Ji ascend to the position of Taizi."

  Xiao Dalie nodded: "Hong Jigang has just started, he is still young. The emperor has seen Yelü Nuer for so many years, it's impossible to change his mind because of this one thing, let's take it slow, don't rush."

  Xiao Su Li nodded: "Yes, I understand."

  Women are sometimes really scary, they are more patient and tolerant than men. Most importantly, men usually treat other men as opponents, but ignore those women hiding in the corner.

  Xiao Dalie quietly made a move, and then quietly withdrew her hand. No one noticed that the mastermind behind this event that shook the imperial court of Liao was actually her.

  Now, Yelü Renshi and Yelü Zongyuan are fighting to the death in the imperial court, they have no idea that Xiao Dalie has already started his second plan.

  Yelü Nu's position in the mind of Emperor Xingzong of Liao is still unshakeable, but his ascension to the throne is destined to be delayed again. Should he help Yelü Rensheng or should he help Yelü Zhongyuan?

  Xiao Dalie knew that in order to make his son the crown prince, the court had to continue arguing over Yelü Nügu for a while. When everyone was tired of arguing and felt that Yelü Nügu was just someone who would cause trouble whenever he was mentioned, then Yelu Hongji's position as crown prince would be secure.

  "Has Li Yuanhao arrived?" asked Xiao Dalie in a low voice.

  Xiao Su Li nodded: "Hmm, he came on his first day and got into a fight with Song Qi's guards on the street. I really don't know what he's thinking. The last assassination attempt wasn't over yet, and now he's here again!"

  Xiao Dalu said, "He doesn't understand, this move is extremely clever. The emperor was angry last time not because the Tangut people assassinated the Song Dynasty envoy, but because they actually pushed the assassination onto the Liao State. Li Yuanhao's blatant provocation this time is to tell everyone that whether or not it was the Tanguts who carried out the assassination, he took responsibility for it."

  Xiao Su still didn't understand: "Isn't he afraid of being blamed by the Emperor?"

  "If the Emperor were to blame him, he would have killed all his envoys by now. The Emperor himself hasn't even figured out what to do yet. By the way, is Li Yuanhao coming under the banner of seeking marriage this time?"

  "Yes, and also bring many betrothal gifts."

  Xiao Daluo's eyes lit up: "How did Song Qi respond?"

  Xiao Su Li slightly shook her head: "He has been reporting to the Emperor for the past two days, hoping that His Majesty will deal with Li Yuanhao. If he can kill Li Yuanhao, it would be even better."

  Xiao Dalie sighed softly: "Alas, the more he accuses, doesn't it just help spread Li Yuanhao's fame? The Song Dynasty might be in trouble this time."

  Li Yuanhao dared to come to Yanjing, it was because he had figured out that Liao Xingzong still hadn't made up his mind about what to do. Before Liao Xingzong figured things out, he wouldn't take action against him.

  So he came and it was a very beautiful shape as soon as he arrived.

  The people of Liao revered martial prowess, and the story of Li Yuanhao single-handedly defeating over a dozen Song dynasty guards, leaving Song Qi cowering in his sedan chair unable to speak, had spread throughout the streets. As for his daring to come to Yanjing alone, the people of Liao admired him immensely.

  At the very least, among the people, among those ordinary Liao soldiers, Li Yuanhao had already become a synonym for bravery, and they did not want to fight with such a person. Song Qi's performance made them feel that the Song people were weak and easy to bully, so, in an unintended way, the diplomatic situation of the Tangut people, which was originally in trouble, was opened up by Li Yuanhao with his fists and feet.

  Chen Yuan still did not know about all these changes, he was thinking about how he should start to win the victory of this game.

  After returning, Liao Xingzong will arrange an official position for himself in the imperial court. It shouldn't be too big of a deal. No matter what, as long as he can get in touch with the core figures of Liao State, it's all good.

  Yelü Nügu also advocated for using troops against the Party Items first, and from what can be seen now, his relationship with him is not bad, so he should be able to help out a bit.

  What about Yelü Lüjin? Both the Tanguts and the Khitans want to use her to strengthen their relations. On the other hand, if we make a move on her, it's also possible to drive a wedge between the Khitans and the Tanguts. There must be something that can be done with her. Of course, the first condition is that she must listen to us and cooperate with us.

  And if one's financing goes a bit more smoothly, and those big shots in Liaoning can hear what one has to say, things seem not so hard to resolve.

  Step by step, I've made it to the present. After winning two hands in a row, I now have some capital of my own. When I return to Yanjing, if my aim is accurate and my luck is good, I'll be set!

  The future is bright, but now he must first deal with Yelü Dianyu.

  From personal desire to national righteousness, before returning to Yanjing, he must bring this woman down!

  "Chen Shimei." The voice of Yelü Lüjie came from the doorway.

  Chen Yuan had long known she would come, so he hadn't gone to look for her from the time he returned until now. Hearing the sound was already at the door, Chen Yuan got up from the bedside and opened the door, then slightly turned sideways, with an enchanting smile on his face: "Princess, it's so late, what's going on?"

  Yelü Lüjing looked a bit embarrassed, and Chen Yuan stepped aside to open the door: "If Your Highness doesn't mind, I have some unwashed clothes here, please come in and sit down."

  Yelü Lüjing nodded and softly said "en", then walked into the house, without sitting down, just standing beside the table.

  Chen Yuanguan came to the door with a harmless smile on his face: "Princess, if you're going to say something polite because of what happened during the day, then don't bother."

  Yelü Lüjing's head lifted slightly: "I... I want to apologize."

  Chen Yuanshao smiled and said: "I know what you want to say, is it that no matter my life or death, leading troops to exterminate the Jurchens, your heart feels uneasy?"

  Yelü Lüjing nodded: "Yes, at that time, under such circumstances, I was able to persuade those people to let me go, and I was really surprised. Because in my opinion, it's already quite good not to reveal my identity, but I didn't expect them to do so."

  "Your Highness, you still don't understand me. Although I may be a bit timid and sometimes do whatever it takes to survive, that doesn't mean I'm as despicable as you think."

  "I know, it's my fault! I wanted to let Ninth Brother and the others escape first, but Ninth Brother refused, he insisted on annihilating the Jurchen people, and I couldn't do anything about it."

  Chen Yuan knew that Yelü Niegulu had been searching for a battle to surpass the one against Yelü Hongji since he was rescued by Hongji, but he hadn't found one yet. If he knew where the Jurchens were, he wouldn't care even if it was his own father who was captured, let alone someone else.

  Yelü Lüjing continued, "If you rescue me, I will still be in danger, it's unbearable. You know, when Ninth Brother gave the order, I really hated him! At that time, I even wanted to take the troops and go rescue myself, but Hongji didn't allow it either, saying that he would definitely return safely."

  Chen Yuan burst out laughing: "No need to hate the Ninth Prince, if I were him, I would do the same. It's just that Hong Ji understands me and knows that my verbal skills are formidable, as long as it's a living person, I can usually persuade them."

  Yelü Lüjing's face suddenly turned red again, Chen Yuan took a step forward, two steps, making the distance between the two people closer, and asked in a very soft voice: "What's wrong?"

  Yelü Lüjing lowered his head and shook it: "Nothing."

  Chen Yuan looked at her expression and thought to himself, "Ha! She can't fly away now!" He said aloud, "What does the princess think of my skills in verbal sparring?"

  Yelü Lüjing couldn't say a word, and her feet actually dodged to the side for a moment. Why did she dodge? She didn't know either, but her heart was a bit flustered. She was afraid that Chen Yuan would make some excessive move, because his question was already somewhat over the line. But why hadn't she sternly reprimanded him for his disrespect? And why was there still a tiny bit of expectation in her heart?

  Just as they were in a stalemate, Chen Yuan suddenly turned around and took a step back, picking up the teapot on the table: "Would the princess like some tea?"

  This girl is like fishing, the fish bites the hook, and it takes skill to pull her up. One forceful tug, the line breaks, if you let go too loose, the fish runs away.

  The sudden relaxation of the atmosphere made Yelü Wugong let out a breath, but then he discovered that a sense of disappointment was slowly brewing.

  Chen Yuan poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of her: "Princess, you know, when I convinced them to let me out, I knew I would definitely be able to leave alive."

  Yelü Lüjie mechanically nodded: "Uh-huh."

  Listening to her tone and looking at her expression, she should be out of her mind by now. Chen Yu smiled slightly: "There's no wine here either, otherwise, for both of us to return safely, it would really be worth celebrating, right? By the way, what do you plan to do after we get back?"

  "What's going on?"

  Chen Yuan asked casually, "Are you really going to marry Li Yuanhao?"

  Yelü Lü's heart surged with a wave of sadness, Chen Yuan's words evoked the pain in her heart. She would have to go back and marry Li Yuanchao after all; some things were destined to be beyond her control.

  As she thought about it, Chen Yuan's body slowly leaned in again. This time, Ye Lüxian no longer had the initial panic and did not dodge to one side.

  Chen Yuan's eyes looked at her deeply: "Tell me one thing, okay?"

  "What?" asked Yelü Lüjie.

  Chen Yuan's hand seemed to move unintentionally, accidentally touching Yelü Chucai's hand for a moment before releasing it. Yelü Chucai continued to look at Chen Yuan as if the small movement had not occurred.

  "Is it now Yelü Lüjie or the princess?" Chen Yuan asked.

  Yelü Lüjing's mouth twitched: "Yelü Lüjing is indeed the princess."

  Chen Yuan shook his head and slowly reached out to grab Yelü Lüzhen's hand. She didn't struggle, but instead looked at Chen Yuan with a dazed and infatuated expression in her eyes.

  It's done, if it's a fish, you can pull it up and put it in the fishing basket. If it's a woman, you can carry her over and lay her down on the bed.

  Chen Yuan's body leaned forward a bit more, and the two people were almost stuck together: "Yelü Lüjing is my friend, the princess belongs to the Great Liao, which one is it?"

  Yelü Lüjie's voice began to coarsen: "I don't know, tell me, can I choose?"

  Chen Yuan's other hand gently lifted her hair: "As long as you're willing, at least for today."

  Yelü Lüjing looked at Chen Yuan's slowly approaching lips, panting heavily, closed her eyes and lifted her head up, her lips slightly parted, murmuring: "I am Li Yuanchao's."

  Chen Yuan gently touched her lips, then held her head in his arms, softly holding Yelü Lüjing's earlobe, and whispered: "The princess is Li Yuanyuan's, mine."

  Yelü Lü's hands suddenly reached up and tightly wrapped around Chen Yuan's neck, her small mouth actively pressed against his, beginning to frantically seek.

  Chen Yuanyi suddenly couldn't resist, and was pushed back by her, falling onto the bed. Yelü Lüzhen pressed down on top of him, both hands starting to tear at his clothes.

  Chen Yuan was really shocked by her behavior, and at the same time he was also extremely delighted: "Crazy enough! I like it!"
