Chapter 457 Husband and Wife Are One

Duanmu Yu's expression turned frozen.

He slowly turned his head, looking gloomily at the young man next to him who was as beautiful as an angel but as bad-tempered as a devil, and said coldly: "Prince Zhanruo."

Zhanruo raised his eyes: "What?"

Duanmu Yu clenched his hands tightly. If he were in the Northern Xinjiang Imperial City at this time, he would definitely have this damn man pulled down and cut into pieces.

In all his life, he has never seen such a shameless bastard that makes one's heart and lungs hurt.

Taking the initiative to see this damn thing tonight was actually the biggest mistake he had ever made in his life. He didn't get an answer to the question he originally wanted to ask, and instead felt like a coward.

He couldn't figure it out anyway, what kind of environment and soil had brought up such a bastard and shameless thing.

The anger rushed to the top of his head, and Duanmu Yu was almost filled with anger.

He spent a lot of effort to suppress his anger and said coldly: "Prince Zhanruo is really capable of making people angry to death."

Zhan Ruo raised his eyebrows: "Thank you for the compliment."

Only if he could make the shameless regent at the dinner table angry to death would he think it was worth celebrating.

"What's wrong?" Nan Xi raised her eyes and looked at their faces, "Did you two have a conflict?"

Zhan Ruo said as if nothing had happened: "The sky is dry and things are dry, so it is normal for Prince Duanmu to have strong anger."

Duanmu Yu couldn't help but turn green again.

But after all, he didn't want to break up with Zhan Ruo here. After all, his purpose was just to leave Dongling as soon as possible - so far, nothing was more important than this.

As for getting information about the situation in Northern Xinjiang from Zhanruo's mouth, it was just a tentative attitude. He didn't want to say it, and Duanmu Yu couldn't pry his mouth open.

He just really didn't expect that Prince Zhanruo of the Yu Kingdom, who was rumored to be good at astrology and divination and could predict the future, would actually be so virtuous, which was really disappointing.

"If Prince Duanmu insists on leaving, I am not willing to force you to stay." Nan Xi smiled lightly, "But it has been really cold these two days. If Prince Duanmu doesn't mind, you can wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month before leaving. You will be three days late." Five days shouldn’t have any impact.”

Duanmuyu didn't want to wait a day. Waiting one more day meant that his reserve position would be at risk. Moreover, if someone falsely accused him of collaborating with the enemy and treason, the longer it delayed, the worse it would be for him. By then, there would be no room for justification. .

So he said calmly: "The climate in Dongling is really too cold for Xiao Wang, so I thought of going back early. The cold weather will pass on the way. Your Majesty, don't worry."

Nan Xi turned to look at Rong Yu: "What does the regent think?"

"Since Prince Duanmu wants to leave, we can't force him to stay." Rong Yu said in a calm tone, "The prince can go back and pack his bags now. I will have someone take you out of the city early tomorrow morning. Your Majesty has a special health, so he will not send Prince Duanmu off in person. "

Duanmu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen, and thank you, the Regent."

After a pause, "The little king will not disturb your majesty and the regent's meal, so I will take my leave."

Nan Xi smiled lightly: "I hope Prince Duanmu has a safe journey and returns to Northern Xinjiang safely as soon as possible."

When Duanmuyu heard these words, he felt a little uneasy, and his original mood of leaving was immediately diluted.

Maybe it was because of what Nan Xi had said before and the threat in Rong Yu's words that he felt uneasy about the journey from Dongling to Northern Xinjiang, but now he really couldn't stay in Dongling for a long time.

There is no other way but to go back.

Duanmu Yu quickly turned around and left. After walking a few steps, he saw Zhan Ruo standing still and said calmly: "Prince Zhan Ruo still isn't leaving?"

"What does it matter to you whether this prince leaves or not?" Zhan Ruo glared at him and walked to the dining table, "I want to eat too."

Duanmu Yu was stunned, what does this mean?

The co-authored Prince Zhanruo was reincarnated as a starving ghost?

Nan Xi's attitude was gentle, as if the unpleasantness in the afternoon had never happened before, and she smiled slightly and said: "If Prince Zhanruo doesn't mind, you can sit down and eat together."

Zhan Ruo sat unceremoniously on her right side.

Well, Rong Yu is sitting on the left side of Nan Xi.

As a result, the scene suddenly became a little subtle.

Duanmu Yu frowned and looked at Zhanru's familiar posture suspiciously. He vaguely came back to his senses. How dare this person repeatedly emphasize that he came with him tonight. What's his true intention?

What is his relationship with Queen Dongling?

Sitting next to the Queen in such a majestic place, aren't you worried that Rong Yu will tear him into pieces?

Thinking like this, Duanmu Yu glanced at Rong Yu, but saw that Rong Yu didn't seem to have any reaction. He couldn't help but think deeply in his heart. Prince Zhanruo and the regent were also old acquaintances?

However, this question will definitely not be answered for the time being. When Duanmu turned to leave, he could not help but have many speculations in his mind. Thinking of what Zhan Ruo said a moment ago, "You are not worthy of carrying Queen Dongling's shoes", his thoughts became deeper.

It was certain that he was being plotted by the Prince of the Yu Kingdom tonight.

As Duanmu Yu thought about it, he couldn't help but become more and more angry. He thought to himself that after returning to Northern Xinjiang to resolve his own affairs, he would definitely find a way to teach Yu Guo a lesson so that Zhan Ruo would regret today's rude provocation against him.

Duanmuyu gathered up his thick cloak and left in the cold wind. Zhan Ruo in the palace concealed all his awkward and uncomfortable emotions and commanded the palace maid openly: "I want to eat shrimps too. Come and peel two for me." ”

The maid saw him sitting boldly next to Her Majesty the Queen. Neither the Queen nor the Regent said anything, so naturally they would not disobey his orders. They were about to come over to serve him, but Rong Yu said calmly: "You have no skills yourself?"

"My hands are delicate and were born to be served, just like my sister." Zhan Ruo looked at him coldly, "Unlike you, you were born to be a servant, you deserve to be a slave."

As soon as the words fell, the warm air in the palace seemed to be three points colder in an instant.

The palace maids were frightened and silent.

Saying such words to the powerful regent is undoubtedly a great rebellion, and he should be dragged down and beaten to death. Even if he is the prince of Yu, such words are disrespectful.

However, Rong Yu's face was calm as usual, and he calmly picked a piece of tender meat and put it to Nan Xi's mouth. Obviously, he didn't care about someone's childish provocation.

But just because he didn't care, it didn't mean Nan Xi didn't care either.

"If Prince Zhan Ruo continues to speak ill of the Regent, I can't keep you in Dongling." Nan Xi's smile faded, and her tone was light, "The Regent is my husband. Husband and wife are one. If he is a slave, what am I?"

Zhan Ruo's face changed: "Sister, you are of noble status, and you are not the same as him."

"No." Nan Xi emphasized, "He and I are husband and wife, and husband and wife are always equal, regardless of superiority or inferiority."

Zhan Ruo frowned: "Sister, what you said is not right. No one in the world can be equal to the king, even husband and wife. There are many deposed queens in history. If they are all equal, why should the queen call herself "concubine" in front of the emperor, and why is the fate of life and death in the hands of the king?"
