Chapter 213 A Different Ending (1)

Seeing Nie Qingxue getting closer and closer, Wen Shuan began to get nervous.

He slowed down his breathing, and felt the fragrance of Nie Qingxue with every breath.

Suddenly the carriage jolted.

Nie Qingxue took advantage of the situation and pounced on Wen Shuan, her soft lips just brushing the corner of Wen Shuan's lips.

Wen Shuan felt his heart skip a beat. He quickly hugged Nie Qingxue and whispered her name, "Xue'er, be careful not to get hurt."

"Well, Master Wen, please let me go first." Nie Qingxue's cheeks flushed slightly as she spoke in a low voice.

Wen Shuan was stunned for a moment, then he loosened his hands as if he had been burned, "Yes...I was abrupt, Xue'er, please don't mind it."

"It's okay, Master Wen." Nie Qingxue sat up slightly, her eyelashes half-closed and the corners of her lips slightly raised.

It seems that Wen Shuan likes her.

Yes, any man who sees her will be fascinated by her appearance.

But Nie Qingxue thought of Murong Heng. She gritted her teeth secretly, and a thought came to her mind: One day, she would make Murong Heng willingly submit to her skirt. Just wait, Murong Heng, sooner or later I will go to Tianyao Kingdom again.

Wen Shu'an saw Nie Qingxue lowering her head, as if shy. He coughed twice and said, "Xue'er is also of marriageable age. Do you have a man you like?"

"No, marriage is a serious matter, so I must treat it with caution." Nie Qingxue shook her head gently. She raised her face and bit her lower lip lightly with her pearly teeth. "Are you urging Xue'er to get married, Master Wen?"

"No, that's not what I mean, Xueer. I just want to know what kind of man you like." Wen Shuan said anxiously.

Nie Qingxue giggled a few times, "What I like is a man like Master Wen, gentle, elegant, and considerate."

After hearing Nie Qingxue's answer, Wen Shuan always felt that she had something in mind.

"Xue'er, then, then what do you think, what do you think, I..." Wen Shuan stuttered, the last word "I" lingering on his lips and teeth, unclear, and even lowered his voice.

"Mr. Wen? What did you say?" Nie Qingxue leaned forward, her beautiful eyes sparkling, which made Wen Shu'an's heart beat faster, his mouth dry, and he became anxious.

Wen Shuan finally pursed his lips and raised his hand to hold Nie Qingxue's shoulder. "Xue'er, I'm asking, what do you think of this scar removal ointment? If... if it doesn't work, I'll find you another ointment."

Nie Qingxue seemed a little lost. She sat up straight and Wen Shuan withdrew his hand.

"No need. I think this ointment is good. Thank you, Master Wen." Nie Qingxue looked at Wen Shu'an's shy expression and thought to herself: Is this guy a pure and innocent boy? But weren't men in ancient times supposed to have understood the relationship between men and women long ago? I've taken the initiative, and he still doesn't kiss me.

The atmosphere cooled down, and Wen Shuan put the ointment back where it belonged. He actually wanted Nie Qingxue, but he knew that he couldn't afford the consequences of doing so.

Nie Qingxue is the eldest daughter of the Nie family in the Zhou Kingdom. Her mother is a princess and her father is an imperial merchant.

And he is just the son of a declining family.

Even a concubine's descendant.

Not to mention that he only has a few teahouses in Tianyao Country, but in terms of status, there is a huge difference between them.

But Wen Shuan was unwilling to give in. Even though Nie Qingxue had already taken the initiative, he still pretended not to understand.

After all, it's just a mismatch.

Wen Shuan looked up at the expression on Nie Qingxue's face, but the other person had already turned his head and lifted the car curtain to look at the scenery outside.

On the other side, after dealing with Meng Wuxin's affairs, Gu Chang went to the pavilion in the imperial garden. Next to the pavilion was a lake of medium size, connected to the Yucang River outside.

But Gu Chang didn't expect that he would encounter an assassin while feeding the ornamental fish by the lake.

It was unknown how long the assassin had been in the lake, but when he surfaced, his body was swollen.

Gu Chang stopped what he was doing and wanted to put the jar of fish food on the stone table in the pavilion, but Cheng De took the jar from him naturally.

Cheng De had a gloomy look on his face. "Come here, pick up this assassin and see if he has any secret orders or anything like that on him. If not, take him out of the palace and throw him away."

"System, where is the heroine now?" Gu Chang was sitting on a round stool, and a set of Go equipment was placed on the stone table.

Murong Heng snorted coldly, "You're playing chess again." After he finished speaking, he sat opposite Gu Chang.

After querying, the system told Gu Chang, "Host, the heroine left with Wen Shu'an, and the two have now arrived in Xiaoyu Town."

"Yeah." After Gu Chang responded to the system, he placed a black piece on the chessboard.

The plot introduction this time is not very detailed, but it says that Nie Qingxue will eventually marry Prince Tu Weizhi.

But the last time she hypnotized Nie Qingxue, she said that she would become the queen, Tu Mingyuan would become the emperor, and Murong Heng would die.

These are two different endings.

This gave Gu Chang a guess in his mind.

Cheng De was originally standing outside the pavilion. When he saw a person walking along the path, he took the first step and walked over.

Seeing that it was Linghu Weixin, Cheng De lowered his voice and asked, "Prime Minister, His Majesty hasn't summoned you to the palace. What are you doing here?"

Linghu Weixin stopped and pursed his lips, his peach blossom eyes filled with a solemn expression. "General Manager Chengde, I have something important to report to His Majesty. Please go and inform him."

Cheng De always felt that this scene was familiar, but he still turned around and went to the pavilion.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has an important matter to report." Cheng De first saluted, then spoke respectfully.

"Let him come over." Gu Chang looked at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard and fell into deep thought.

Seeing him like this, Murong Heng frowned slightly, "Aren't you just messing around? It's only two pieces, what are you thinking about?"

"Your Majesty! I was wrong about what happened a few days ago." Linghu Weixin walked over quickly, then lifted up his robe and knelt on his knees with a thud.

Cheng De stood aside, thinking back to the time when Linghu Weixin had pleaded for Nie Qingxue. But at that time, Linghu Weixin was like a person who had lost his mind, and even called himself "I".

Now that I think about it, it’s a bit strange.

The Prime Minister is usually very elegant, so it shouldn't be so strange for him to plead for someone.

But Cheng De couldn't figure it out. He guessed that Linghu Weixin might like Nie Qingxue.

But if you like her, why do you send her to your Majesty's side?

"I was bewitched and did such a stupid thing. I am really ashamed of Your Majesty! I am not talented enough and not well-educated enough to handle such a heavy responsibility. I am willing to resign from my official position to avoid bringing harm to the country and the people!" After Linghu Weixin finished speaking, he kowtowed to Gu Chang.

Gu Chang stood up subconsciously. He walked to Linghu Weixin's side and held his arms with both hands. "My dear, you are a top scholar. How can you belittle yourself?"

"As Prime Minister, you've done a commendable job, but you're rather confused about love." Gu Chang thought that if Linghu Weixin left, he would have to choose another Prime Minister. And Linghu Weixin only lost his ability to distinguish between the great and the small after meeting Nie Qingxue.

Now that Nie Qingxue is gone, Linghu Weixin seems to have returned to normal. If Nie Qingxue appears again and meets Linghu Weixin, Gu Chang will have no choice but to send the Night Shadow Guard to knock Linghu Weixin unconscious.

"My dear, you are my right-hand man. If you resign, where can I find another capable minister like you?" Gu Chang grabbed Linghu Weixin's arms and secretly lifted him up.

Linghu Weixin had no choice but to stand up with the help of Gu Chang, with some confusion in his eyes.

So he is so important in the eyes of His Majesty?

"My dear, play the next game with me. If you lose, you can never talk about resigning again." Gu Changchang saw that Linghu Weixin didn't say anything, so he let him sit on the round stool next to him.

Murong Heng raised his eyebrows. He left his seat before Linghu Weixin sat down, then stood aside, quietly watching the two of them sit down face to face.

He knew that Gu Chang couldn't play Go, but he didn't intend to help Gu Chang.

Since Gu Chang was confident that he could say such a thing, Murong Heng would see whether Gu Chang could defeat Linghu Weixin.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Then Your Majesty will play first." Linghu Weixin was still very confident in his Go skills. When he was in the Prince's Mansion, he had played Go with Murong Heng many times, and their strength was equally matched.

However, Linghu Weixin gave up the idea of ​​resigning because Gu Chang affirmed his ability and forgave his mistakes.

Moreover, this was the first time Linghu Weixin saw an expression of regret on Murong Heng's face.

"Host, do you know? You almost got exposed just now." The system looked at Gu Chang picking up the black piece and couldn't help but speak.

"If you have anything to say, please wait until I finish playing Go." Gu Chang knew what the system was going to say, but playing Go required maintaining a high level of concentration.

In the original world, in order to train him to be a qualified heir, his grandfather made him learn various things, including Go, and required him to achieve perfection.

Some things are engraved in our bones and can never be forgotten.

Just like playing Go, whenever Gu Chang picked up the black piece, he would remember that the person sitting opposite him was his grandfather.

But now, the person in front of him is Linghu Weixin.

Half an hour passed.

Linghu Weixin was already frowning.

Murong Heng, standing nearby, fixed his gaze on Gu Chang, a playful expression on his face. He leaned closer, slightly leaning forward, to examine the chessboard before him.

Another hour passed.

Linghu Weixin's brows furrowed deeply. He closed his eyes and said, resigned to his fate, "Your Majesty, I admit defeat."

Gu Chang curled his lips and smiled lightly, "It's getting late, my dear, please stay and have dinner with me." After saying this, Gu Chang stood up and looked at the lingering sunset glow in the distant sky. "My dear, is there anything you would like to eat? I'll ask the people in the imperial kitchen to make it."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to do anything." Linghu Weixin shook his head slightly. It would be more accurate to say that he came here to resign rather than to get some kind of affirmation from the emperor.

After playing a game with Gu Chang today, Linghu Weixin realized that the Majesty in front of him was indeed different.

But the fact that he had eaten the Gu still bothered him a little.

But Linghu Weixin knew that the emperor treated him like this because he did not trust him.

The two thoughts in his mind kept colliding, and Linghu Weixin himself felt that he had become conflicted.
