Nirvana In Fire

Chapter 17 Selection of the Principal

Suddenly, Mae Chang-su made this commitment, the most astonishing person was Jing Wang Xiao Jing-yi, because he had to know the identity of the child better than Xiao Jingrui, and the difficulty of trying to get the gardener out of the ghost. After all, over the years, his prince has made many efforts and failed to achieve the goal of admission to the courtyard. This young man is just a good friend of Grand Duke Ning Guohou. Even if Xiao Jingrui helped him, he was afraid that he would be futile and let the courtyard down again for nothing.

“Mr. Su must be a gentle man, he can't see the child suffer," Jing Wang whispered, "but the people in the ghost must be pardoned by the Holy Spirit in order to leave, it's not that easy. Does Mr. Su think this is just a matter of words from Master Ning? ”

Xiao Jingrui hastily said: “Ah, I can ask my father to face Saint...”

“Jing Rui,” Jing Wang interrupted his words immediately, "in order to cover the ghost court a son of a palace slave, you went to ask Grandpa Ning to face Saint? Quit making jokes like that. ”

“But...” Xiao Jingrui was still waiting, but Mae Chang-su pressed his arm and said to him: “Jingrui, His Royal Highness Jing Wang is right, everyone in the ghost has their own crimes, it's not as simple as buying someone back if you see someone pathetic in the street. Don't tell Grandpa Huo about this, and don't tell anyone else, understand? ”

“You don't want our help?” Xiao Jingrui is a little surprised, "how are you going to save him? Are you going to ask the Prince and His Royal Highness? ”

King Jing's eyebrows jumped and his eyes glistened as sharp as a blade. Cold words: “Turns out Mr. Su... I can't believe you have a relationship with the Prince and His Royal Highness. How disrespectful! ”

Mae Chang Su glanced at him, ignoring him, but still said warmly to Xiao Jingrui: “Jingrui, believe me, I can be more confident in rescuing people from court only if no one else knows. The more the son of a criminal slave like him, the more a person with an identity would have asked for amnesty, the more his Majesty would have suspected, otherwise His Majesty would have rescued him. Promise me you won't mention it again, okay? ”

Xiao Jingrui looked at him, still a little confused in his heart, but out of trust and respect for Brother Su, he nodded.

At this time, someone outside the courtyard said: "Your Highness, the Master has returned to the house. ”

Mae Chang Su moved his mind and took advantage of the opportunity: “Go and say hello to Grandpa Hou. I don't need company here anymore. ”

“But your body...”

“It's okay, you know I cough a lot, it's no big deal. How could you not go to greet him? If you forgot the courtesy of being a son to accompany me, you would think I was an irreplaceable bad friend. Go quickly. ”

Xiao Jingrui answered and stood up and turned to King Jing: “Your Highness, I'll go out with you first. ”

“Would His Majesty King Yasushi like to stay a moment longer? About the gardener... I have a few more questions to ask...” Mae Chang-su laughed.

King Jing's eyes fluttered. Some of them couldn't get a hold of this strange sick and weak young man. He also wanted to observe more. He nodded to Xiao Jingrui: “Do as you please, Mr. Su is doing so well. He also wanted to get close. ”

“In that case, if you'll excuse me.” Xiao Jingrui estimated that his father had probably entered the second door. He was in a bit of a hurry and rushed to the courtyard.

After the owner left, the two people who stayed in the hospital did not immediately begin to talk. King Jing's face looked cold at the person sitting in the bench under the tree and showed considerable vigilance. In contrast to him, Mae Changsu's attitude was much more relaxed. He whispered to fly out of the courtyard, picked a book and sent the courtyard to the other corner of the small courtyard to read it, then moved his eyes back to the prince and smiled lightly.

“Even if His Highness is hostile to me, it doesn't have to be so obvious,” Mae Chang-su spoke softly, "at least now you and I have a common goal to save the court. ”

“This is what I wonder," Jing Wang's eyes filled with suspicion, "why do you want to go so hard to save the courtyard? Just for sympathy? ”

“Not only that, of course," Mae Changsu glanced at the thin figure buried in the corner reading, his eyes were extremely soft, "he was very qualified and I wanted to admit him as a student. ”

Jing Wang snorted, “Children with better qualifications than him are everywhere. With these friends made by Mr. Ning Guohou, His Royal Highness Prince Ning, His Royal Highness Yu Wang, what qualifications are students unable to receive? ”

“Then why is His Highness returning so much to the gardener? A cousin prince would break into the Ningguohou Palace for the sake of little sinners, just because of sympathy, right? ”

Jing Wang drifted gently: “I really like the mother of the gardener, this is the love house and Wu...”

“You are truly in love with the house, but not because of his mother...” Mae Chang-su closed his eyes slightly, his face was like a mask with no expression, “... but his father...”

King Jing shook his whole body and the muscles on his face seemed to jump uncontrollably, his hands hanging around him tightly into fists, as if he was trying to control the young man's face without waving.

“This is probably the difference between my age and Jing Rui's. I could think of something when I heard about it, but he couldn't. Because he was a child at the time, he only knew how to study martial arts. That thing was too far apart for him...” Mae Chang-su didn't even look at him. There was a slight smile on his face. “The court was 11 years old. He was born in the ghost garden. Whose belly is the most suitable person in terms of time... you have traveled together and your feelings should be good...”

Xiao Jingxuan's eyes stabbed him like an ice needle. The voice did not carry any temperature: “Who are you…? ”

“Neither the Prince nor the King Emeritus were my friends, they were soliciting me,” Mae Chang-su laughed ridiculously, "Do you know what the Pavilion said about me?" Kirin talent, get the world ", if I don't even know what happened to the princes, how can I count as Kirin talent? ”

“So you are deliberately collecting secrets and information about this and saving money for your future actions? ”

“Exactly.” Mae Chang-su Expressway, “what's wrong with being a Kirin? Being relied on to build a meritorious business, it may be possible to enjoy the temple in the future. ”

King Jing's eyes were dark and chilled in his voice. Sensen: “So is Mr. Wang going to choose the prince or the king of honor? ”

Mae Chang Su slightly leaned back his head and looked through the branches already in a depressed state. He stared at the blue sky. It took a long time before it slowly came back. He bet on King Jing. "I want to choose you, Your Highness. ”

“Pick me?” Yang Wang laughed heavenly, but his eyes were filled with sadness, "you are too blind. My mother was only a second cousin and had no distinguished relatives. I was 31 years old and had not yet sealed the Prince. Sulai dealt only with the rough men of the military brigade, and there were no half-dozen contacts in the six departments of the Central and Three Provinces. What do you want me to do? ”

“Your terms are not very good indeed," Mae Chang-su whispered, “but unfortunately I don't have any other better options. ”

“What does that mean? The prince and the king of honor are the most powerful. It's no wonder they took the emperor...”

“It's because whoever gets the emperor is not surprised that I don't want to pick them. I can only show my Kirin's talent by putting a man on the throne who no one could have imagined, can't I? ”

King Jing took a deep look at Mae Chang Su. I can't believe this man is joking, or is he serious?

“Your Highness, you are telling the truth," Mae Chang-su calmly looked back at him and looked at him like a demon who was causing corruption, "don't you really want to be emperor at all? ”

Xiao Jingxuan's heart was full and he grabbed the root of his teeth. As a prince, it's a lie to say that you've never had a crush on the throne. But it's not true that he always thinks about it so much that he sees his capture of the throne as the most important goal of his life. However, if he could truly cut off the path of the prince and king of honor, he would be willing to pay any price.

“If I rescue the court students, even if I rely on His Majesty the King of Yasu for one of your meeting gifts," Mae Chang-su's gaze was indifferent, but the words let Yasu's whole heart hang, "Prince Wang, one of your most esteemed brothers, it is your wish to let his only bone blood leave such a place as the garden? ”

King Jing's eyebrows trembled slightly and asked, "Are you sure you can do this? ”

“Yes.”

“But... I don't like walking machines like you, even if you help me get to the throne, I don't necessarily get much glory, so don't you mind? ”

“Now that I have this calculation, there is naturally an opportunity to talk to His Royal Highness King Jing.” Mae Chang-su smiled. The whole person has a moonlight temperament. It's not as gloomy as what he said. “You're not the kind of person who can kill Kung Sen, are you? The prince and the king of honor are more like each other...”

King Jing clasped his lips and began to ponder carefully. This Su Zhe's words are incredible, but the divine state is very serious. If he's lying, he can't really guess the motive. And neither the prince nor the king of honor have ever regarded brothers other than each other as enemies worth bothering to deal with. They should not send such a powerful person, just to explore their own feelings. So, what exactly does he want? Is it really just to pick someone he wants to support?

“Your Highness, think fast. After all, the court must return before dark.” Mae Chang-soo hastened not too slowly.

King Jing finally bit his teeth and made up his mind: "Well, as long as you can spare the prince and the king of honor from the emperor, I can cooperate with you. ”

“This level of determination is not enough. You must consider the emperor your absolute goal.” Mae Chang Su's voice is as icy as ice, "the prince and the king of honor are so powerful that if they are to fail, there must be another person to succeed. Who else could this man be? Among the other princes in the world, the Third Royal Highness is disabled, the Fifth Royal Highness is as timid as a mouse, and the Ninth Royal Highness is too small... I told you, your conditions are not good, but there is no other choice...”

“You're welcome to talk,” Jing Wang's eyes sparkled with an interesting light, "if you want to lean over, you're not afraid to offend me? ”

“Do you only like to hear good things?” Mae Chang-su's tone seemed very tired, leaning against the soft chair, his eyes seemed to be misaligned, "Your Highness assured me that I would be able to bring out the court students up to ten days after the Son-in-law Choice Convention. Now... with all due respect, I can't send it far. ”

After that, he simply closed his eyes completely, as if he had begun sleeping. Xiao Jingxu did not care about such disrespectful behavior. He only glanced at Mae Chang Su and didn't say anything. He rose up and called the court attendant to bring the bag of books in his hand and left Xuelu very briefly.
