C207 Backup(1)

After Lyi Jiazhi left, Lyi Xuanzhi found the ribbon he had casually left on the table.

He remembered what Faang Bai had said. This should have been left behind by Mu Haiyang. He also remembered what had happened in the courtyard that day. She had actually mistaken him for Yue Niansheng. This was his ribbon. Why would she return it to him now?

Unconsciously, Lyi Xuanzhi fell into deep thought again. It was all because of Mu Haiyang.

After sunset, Lyi Xuanzhi disguised himself and came to the Auspicious Court. He went straight to the room on the second floor where the lotus flower was.

When he pushed open the door, he saw Lotus Flower sitting in front of the bed and asked, "Has Haiyang been here before?"

"Who are you?" Lotus asked Lyi Xuanzhi, who had disguised himself in front of her.

"Lyi Xuanzhi!"

Lotus heard his tone and guessed that it was seventy to eighty percent correct. Lyi Jiazhi had also instructed her to come, but she didn't expect Lyi Xuanzhi to come here. She bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Royal Highness."

"No need for formalities." She walked straight to the table and asked again, "Has Haiyang been here before?"

"Didn't she leave Anhe half a month ago? Didn't she go back with the Prince of Yue Yuan?" Lotus asked Lyi Xuanzhi.

" It's alright. You can leave now. Please come up when the guest arrives. " From her tone, it was obvious that Mu Haiyang had never been here before. Even if she had been here before, she would not know.

"Yes!" Lotus answered and retreated.

The Auspicious Court was currently bustling with noise and excitement, making Lyi Xuanzhi very anxious. He didn't know whether Premier Wang would come or not, but now that he had appeared in such an occasion... It was obviously not good for him. The person who chose the room with the lotus flower was someone who trusted the lotus flower, not someone who spoke too much.

After half a cup of tea, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!" Lyi Xuanzhi said with a cup of tea in his hand.

Premier Wang could not recognize the person's appearance, but his voice was very familiar. For a moment, he asked in a low voice: "Lyi Xuanzhi?!"

"What's the matter? I haven't seen the Prime Minister for a few days, and the Prime Minister doesn't recognize me?"

He smiled and replied, "How would I dare, how would I dare? Your Highness, please forgive me. May I know why Your Highness called me here?"

Lyi Xuanzhi did not want to play hide and seek with him, so he said, "The portrait I gave you last time..."

"Shh!" Premier Wang looked at the door, indicating that the person was at the door.

Lyi Xuanzhi cut off the conversation and the two started to talk. After a few words, Premier Wang opened the door and said to the servants at the door, "Get Lotus to serve us. All of you can go out!"

"Yes!"

Seeing them go downstairs, Premier Wang closed the door and said, "That day, he sneaked into this official's mansion, but did not do anything out of the ordinary."

"It is better to be careful of the Prime Minister. The more obedient a dog is, the more likely it is to bite. When the time comes, you will know the pain when you are bitten." Lyi Xuanzhi reminded him.

"Today, I have asked you to come here and request Jiazhi's help. Although you and I aren't friends, we aren't enemies either. Perhaps, I, the Lyi mansion, will help you in the future and want to form an alliance with you in private. Isn't it better to have one less opponent?"

" Your Highness, what are you saying? " Premier Wang began to be careless. He neither agreed nor refused.

"This king doesn't speak secretly. If the Prime Minister is unwilling, this king will naturally find someone else. When that time comes, Prime Minister Guo won't have me as his backing. It's also because I'm grateful that you're helping me when I'm in danger. That's why I came to find you." Lyi Xuanzhi naturally did not want to be his enemy, but he had to reveal something. It's not that it has to be you.

Premier Wang thought for a moment. There were pros and cons, and the pros and cons were different. He couldn't make up his mind at the moment.

Lyi Xuanzhi continued, "Now, the number of times the Emperor has summoned the Prime Minister seems to have decreased? Do you know why?"

Looking at Lyi Xuanzhi, he continued, "Because someone replaced your position..."

He casually picked up the chess piece on the table and continued," A chess piece on this huge chessboard doesn't seem to be that important. What's more, it's a useless piece. But then again, sometimes a useless chess piece is used well. It was just a live chess piece. The two of us are now useless chess pieces on this chessboard. Since we can't escape the fate of being chess pieces, shouldn't we work together to turn the tables?"

"Even though that's the case, but..." Premier Wang knew better than anyone that he and Lyi Xuanzhi were chess pieces. Even Lyi Jiazhi was a chess piece on the emperor's chessboard. He had the final say when it would be eaten and when it would be used.

"But what? What is Xiangguo worried about?" Putting down the chess piece, Lyi Xuanzhi asked.

"Since His Royal Highness likened the official to a chess piece, do you know who the person playing chess is?"

"This king already knew. Now that I am leaving to form an alliance with you, this King will not make him beg for it. As long as you help Jiazhi, it will be fine. " He told Premier Wang his intentions and saw that he was still hesitating. Then he said, "I won't care about what you have done before. Don't think that just because I didn't say anything, I know nothing. This King knows far more than you can imagine "

" Since Your Highness already knows, why would you look for a higher official? " After Premier Wang heard his overbearing words, his tone was somewhat unpleasant.
