Chapter 565: The Old Man Is More Cunning Than The Emperor (2)
Translator: 549690339
There were two ways to describe a drunk person. One was to tell the truth after drinking, and the other was to say that one could not believe what one said after drinking. This was equivalent to telling Xu Bai that if something happened, he might have said something drunk.
Cunning.
It was indeed inappropriate to use this word to describe a woman, but Xu Bai felt that the Ninth Princess in front of him was very suitable for this word.
“In the current imperial court, the Prime Minister is one of them. There are also those henchmen under him that you have to guard against.”The Ninth Princess put her hand on Xu Bai’s shoulder and whispered into his ear,””He is an extremely pedantic scholar. He has always disliked Lord Xu very much. He thinks that Lord Xu is from the martial arts world and is not worthy.”
Xu Bai grabbed the Ninth Princess ‘wrist and put it aside. He said,” Ninth Princess, you’re drunk.”
As he spoke, he stood up.
“This Xu is very satisfied with today’s meal. If there’s nothing else, this Xu will take his leave.”
The Ninth Princess’s eyes were blurred. She waved her hand and said,””ln that case, I won’t send you off.”
Xu Bai nodded and turned to leave.
After Xu Bai left, the drunkenness in the ninth princess ‘eyes disappeared. She looked at the wine glass in front of her and fell into a long silence.
“Princess, your situation doesn’t seem right.” Qing Xue stepped forward and said.”
They were all people who often accompanied the princess, so they knew the princess’s temper the best. However, the ninth princess they saw today was completely different from the noble ninth princess in the past.
Just like…
“Seducing, right?” the Ninth Princess said with a smile.
Qing Xue didn’t say anything.
“I do have this idea.” Princess Nine repeated the sentence.
Qing Xue and Qing Mei were shocked when they heard this. They could not believe their ears.
The Ninth Princess had such a noble status, yet she actually had such thoughts. If word got out, it would probably shock many people.
Princess, do you like him?” Qing Xue hesitated.
The Ninth Princess shook her head.” No, I don’t like it at all. After all, we’ve only met once. How could I like it?””
“But if he really wants it, so what if I give it to him? As long as he can help me, everything will be worth it.”
“Qingxue, you have to remember that no matter what my identity is, this is my capital. If I want to be a bargaining chip, Xu Bai is the most suitable because omy ne can enter my eyes:
‘What a pity…
Qing Xue recovered from her shock and asked subconsciously,””What’s a pity?”
The ninth princess was lost.” He’s not interested in me. He even hates what I do. You’ve interacted with him quite well. Is there really a man in this world who doesn’t like women?””
“He loves women.” Qing Xue thought for a while and said,””But he doesn’t seem to like using women to make deals. He’s a very principled person.”
“Principles?” ” Well,” the Ninth Princess said with a smile.” This is getting more and more interesting. ‘”‘
The room fell silent again.
Xu Bai left the Ninth Princess’s residence, but his mind kept thinking about the conversation he had with the Ninth Princess.
“Prime Minister?”
In Great Chu, the position of Prime Minister could be said to be the head of all officials. Of course, it referred to civil servants.
Sitting in this position, one could basically summon a hundred people to respond. All the civil officials in the world would dare to disobey. It was no exaggeration to say that as long as the Prime Minister said a word, these civil officials would listen.
Of course, the prerequisite was that he was still the prime minister.
If the Emperor was unhappy and wanted to change his position, then this position would belong to someone else.
However, he was a pedantic scholar, but he was able to sit firmly in this position. At least it proved that his ability was excellent, and he could bear this official position, so the emperor did not replace him.
Now, this prime minister did not like him, and it seemed to be a little difficult.
However, it was just a little. Xu Bai was not afraid of this. He did not cause trouble. If things really came to an end, he was not afraid.
With this thought in mind, Xu Bai walked toward his residence. He was already familiar with this road, so he wasn’t afraid of getting lost.
As they walked, they were about to arrive when they were stopped by someone.
The person who stopped him was a young man dressed in silk and satin. He had a pressuring noble air about him. Clearly, his status was not low.
Xu Bai stopped and looked at the young man in front of him with interest. “‘Who are you?”
“Seventh Prince.” The young man in front of him didn’t beat around the bush and directly told Xu Bai his identity. He slightly raised his head and looked extremely arrogant.
Xu Bai looked around the young man and saw a few shadows passing by.
“So it’s His Highness the Seventh Prince. May I know why you’re looking for
“It’s nothing. I’m just here to see what the legendary figures in the martial world look like.”The Seventh Prince cupped his fists and turned to leave.
It came and went quickly. There was no conflict or conflict between them, which made Xu Bai feel a little strange.
He and the Seventh Prince had a grudge, but now he only came to see him. Xu
Bai thought of the few black shadows he saw just now and quickly had a guess.
“Heh, so you’re here to find out the truth.”
It was very normal for these members of the royal family to have a few guards with them.
These guards might have been recruited by them personally. Xu Bai guessed that the few shadows that flashed past were the guards of the Seventh Prince.
And this time, the Seventh Prince probably came to see his strength. Other than that, he couldn’t think of anything else..
