Chapter 697: Gaining Trust

"If that's ......"

The brush that was still attached to the rice paper, because Long Yuanxiu couldn't stop shaking on the paper because of his clenching, from a ball of thick ink, and then smeared ink one after another, leaving several large thick ink spots on it.

"Mingyue still doesn't believe in this king after all, if she is willing to believe it, she will not run away, and the situation in the court will not be like this because of her, and even let Prime Minister Li be rampant to this point!"

"Click......"

As Long Yuanxiu's low but heavy cold words fell, a slight cracking sound came from the table.

In Long Yuanxiu's palm, the brush that was directly broken by him because of his suppressed emotions was only the second half of the book at the moment.

And the first half of the wolf's hair fell on a few balls of ink, completely printing and dyeing most of the rice paper, which is equivalent to the handwriting and content written on the rice paper, which is already completely wasted.

"Master, this is the specific content investigated by the subordinates." Regarding Long Yuanxiu's words, the man in black seemed to have heard of it, and he still stepped forward with an indifferent expression and handed over the letter in his hand.

Because he understood that Long Yuanxiu's anger and coldness were vented to Prime Minister Li, not to Zhuang Mingyue.

And in this matter, since Zhuang Mingyue disappeared, Long Yuanxiu has never given up the search.

Looking at the stack of letters, Long Yuanxiu's face did not ease much.

"If it weren't for Li Chong, Mingyue wouldn't have suffered another serious physical injury, and he wouldn't have fled to Dahan because he didn't believe in this king, and even let this king ...... Makes me, and that's why I used to be suspicious......"

At first, he was full of anger, but as his voice gradually weakened, it became lower and lower, and his tone changed from anger to annoyance.

The man in black who was standing aside waiting for the order couldn't help but raise his eyes and look over, "Master, it's not your fault. Your subordinates feel that after the matter is resolved, the princess will definitely understand you. ”

Listening to the comfort of the black-clothed secret guard, Long Yuanxiu just shook his head lightly, leaned back with a self-mocking smile on his lips, and leaned back on the back of the wooden chair with a slight dejection.

"Understand...... What I did in the main hall at the beginning had already chilled Mingyue's heart, so much so that she was unwilling to give even the slightest trust, and ...... I did have doubts about this later, how could I expect that Mingyue would be able to forgive or even understand me so easily. ”

As Long Yuanxiu shook his head like this, there was an atmosphere of death around him invisibly, enveloping it tightly, as if it was like a clenched claw, making it impossible for him to get out of it.

Looking at Long Yuanxiu in this state, after hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't stop speaking and whispered: "Now the truth of the matter has gradually been revealed, wait until the master solves the matter and returns the princess to innocence, and the subordinates guess ......"

"If it were as easy as you say, this king would not be ...... again Oh, that's it. Long Yuanxiu, who cut off the words of the black-clothed secret guard, laughed weakly, "Since the original incident originated from this king, then again."

The second time is to be concluded by the king. ”

"Master......"

Long Yuanxiu, who didn't plan to say anything more, closed his eyes and reopened them again after a while, and this time Long Yuanxiu reopened his eyes, the thin layer of cold mist in his eyes had completely dissipated at this moment.

I saw him raise his hand slightly, stopping the words of the black-clothed dark guard that had faded, "Needless to say, if you can't even solve these things, you need to comfort you to regain your strength, so you don't need to sit in this position." ”

Although the relationship between the two is nominally that of a master and a subordinate, in fact, the relationship between the two is different from that of an ordinary master and a subordinate.

Although Long Yuanxiu is the prince of the palace, because of his mother's humble status, he is also the most humble and easily ignored among the princes.

So in fact, he has no real power except for the title of prince, and after he understands things, he understands that in the palace, even if you have no ambitions, you have never thought about the battle for succession.

But as long as you have the blood of the royal family and are not a woman, you are destined to be targeted.

It is precisely because of this that Long Yuanxiu understands that even if he is not trying to win the heir, he must cultivate his own power, in order to protect his mother and concubine from him, at least enough to make them retreat when the battle for the heir breaks out.

It is precisely for this reason that the initial secret guards that Long Yuanxiu has personally cultivated with great effort have all been brought up by him alone, and the various life and death experienced in them have made the entanglement between Long Yuanxiu and this group of dark guards more than that.

In addition, this group of secret guards are not dead soldiers, so in some special situations, they also make their own decisions, and they will not hurt the enemy by one thousand and lose eight hundred because of the orders given by the master.

And Long Yuanxiu, who suddenly heard this from here, looked slightly stunned for a moment, and then saw Long Yuanxiu's eyes that had calmed down again. reacted suddenly, then knelt down again, and responded in a deep voice: "Yes! Subordinates understand! ”

After hearing the words of the black-clothed secret guard's response, Long Yuanxiu waved his hand again, motioning for him to retreat.

The black-clothed secret guard who understood Long Yuanxiu's meaning knew that Long Yuanxiu still needed time to fully adjust the recovered mentality, so he bent down without the slightest delay, and saluted with one hand trapped in his heart: "Subordinates retire." ”

As the black-clothed dark guard turned to leave, in the entire empty study, only Long Yuanxiu was left again, and the pile of letters and folds on the table.

Long Yuanxiu, who is now settled outside South Korea, does not dare to reveal too much of the news he has gotten.

Even if he had already reached a cooperative relationship with Long Yaoyang on the surface, he understood that this fourth brother was no more shallower than Long Zhengning's thoughts, and even his methods were even worse, so he had to guard against it.

Besides, when he was outside, he had such a simple study to deal with affairs, and he still had to worry about having ears outside the wall all the time.

So after processing the letters in his hand, Long Yuanxiu stood up and directly placed the rice paper in his hand on the candle flame, let it ignite itself, and then when it was about to burn to his fingertips, he threw the paper into the brazier on the side.

After only half an hour, there was no brazier to burn any longer, leaving only a pile of black rice paper ashes.

Seeing that there was nothing on the table except for a few letters that he had written by hand and had been sealed.

Long Yuanxiu raised his hand to pick up the important letters, put them into his arms, and turned around to leave from the humble study.

Because they are still in the outskirts of Korea, and he will leave the mountains all the way to rent such a dilapidated house in such a remote town, it is only because he knows that Zhuang Mingyue and the group of personal guards she brought over are living there at the moment in a small location half a street away.

And after Long Yuanxiu understood the mistake he had made, he consciously regretted his mistake and wanted to reunite with Zhuang Mingyue. Even if he understands this matter in his heart, on top of what has been done in the past, there is a bit of a fool's dream.

But Long Yuanxiu, who consciously regretted it, had already made up his mind to settle down, no matter how much Zhuang Mingyue annoyed him, or was ready to make a decision with him, he would not shake his regretful heart at all, let alone his idea of wanting to reunite with Zhuang Mingyue.

"Second Emperor Brother, what are you doing here, I'm easy to find the fourth brother."

Long Yuanxiu, who walked out of the study, but as soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, he heard Long Yaoyang's voice coming from not far away, and his brows wrinkled slightly.

But it was only a quarter of an hour, and when Long Yuanxiu turned around and raised his eyes to look in the direction of his side, the expression that appeared in front of Long Yaoyang no longer had any excessive impatience or boredom.

just maintained his usual calm and indifferent look, "Now that you are in Korea, it's better not to reveal your identity." ”

Long Yaoyang, who was said lightly, raised his eyebrows lightly when he heard the words, and then continued to move in the direction of Long Yuanxiu.

Obviously, it was only the early spring season, but the folding fan in Long Yaoyang's hand was still slowly fanning, blowing the two strands of long hair on his forehead, quite a handsome boy's demeanor.

I have to say that several princes of Tiansheng Royal are all extraordinary. If there is a woman here in this courtyard at this moment, I am afraid that she will indeed be deceived by Long Yaoyang's appearance.

It's a pity that there are only two people in this courtyard now, Long Yuanxiu and Long Yaoyang.

So even if Long Yaoyang put on this appearance, no one would be moved by his warmth.

After Long Yaoyang walked in front of Long Yuanxiu, a smile appeared on his lips, "Since the second brother has said this, then I naturally can't expose my identity one step in advance, so that others can find out that we are the Tiansheng Imperial Family, after all, ...... We still have something to do, and we still have someone to catch, right? ”

Listening to Long Yaoyang's words, Long Yuanxiu's already deep eyes were staring directly at the person in front of him without concealing them at this moment.

Long Yaoyang, who was stared at with such an impenetrable look, not only did he not feel the slightest threat because of this, but the smile on his lips became more gentle.

"Second brother, what's wrong? Why don't you talk and just stare at me like that? Could it be that there is something wrong with what I said in the fourth brother? ”
