Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 204 Take My Pulse

From the moment he made the wish and turned around, Chen Shan began to hold his breath and concentrate.

Even though he knew that Xu Yuan had no martial arts skills and poor hearing, and therefore would not be able to detect him, when Xu Yuan turned around, he still felt like he was seen through.

After Wu Shiming and Xu Yuan walked away, he dared to ask, "Third Master, has Master Xu discovered us?"

"She has always been perceptive, so she should have noticed it. But it doesn't matter. She is smart and won't expose herself."

Therefore, even though I knew he saw everything, I would pretend nothing happened.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shan couldn't help but say, "Mr. Xu is indeed smart. He seems to be hostile to everyone, but in fact, he is not hostile to anyone, even to the Song family."

Thinking of what Beiyao had done for Xuyuan, Chen Shan really couldn't help but speak up for Beiyao.

Not to mention that we have known each other for a long time now, but that day in the desert, when I wished for a city defense map and a letter, which one did Beiyao not give me?

It would be better to make a wish.

The prince waved his hand and she went there impatiently.

"This is the only way to survive in the capital." Bei Yao said calmly, "Perhaps, without me, she can also make a name for herself in the capital."

Chen Shan felt something was wrong and immediately said, "Without the Third Master, Mr. Xu would have died countless times."

"Okay, what has the prince been doing these past two days?"

"I didn't do anything. I just met Wu Shiming and Mr. Xu. No one else."

After Chen Shan finished speaking, he recalled the Snow Appreciation Banquet and said, "At the Snow Appreciation Banquet, he had a very pleasant conversation with Miss Song San, and then he met Mr. Xu almost immediately afterwards. Is there any connection between them?"

Song Xiujing and Xu Yuan knew each other before.

Without making a wish, Song Xiujing would not have made it to the capital alive.

If Song Xiujing joins the Prince's team, then make a wish...

Chen Shan didn't dare to think about it any further.

Compared to the true crown prince, Bei Yao really has no competitiveness.

The most important thing is that Beiyao himself never thought about fighting for it.

"Of course there is, otherwise why would the prince notice Xu Yuan for no reason?" Bei Yao raised his head slightly, his tone even colder: "The prince should have known. If you were the prince, and asked you to choose between Song Xiujing and Song Xiuyue, who would you choose?"

Chen Shan thought about it carefully and said, "Of course it's Miss Song San. Although Miss Song San has always grown up in the countryside, she is a well-educated and well-mannered person. On the other hand, Song Xiuyue relies on her father's power and is arrogant and domineering. If she were in the backyard, I'm afraid she would not be quiet."

"Yes, one should marry a virtuous wife, but as the crown prince, he also has to balance the many forces in the court. Song Xiujing is better than Song Xiuyue, but she lacks some status. Now that the crown prince and Song Xiujing are on good terms, it must be because Song Xiujing's status is comparable to Song Xiuyue's."

Bei Yao stopped talking abruptly, and Chen Shan was confused.

I couldn't help but ask back: "What does this mean, Master San?"

"Song Xiujing is more useful than Song Xiuyue."

Bei Yao said, his expression became even more indifferent: "Let Madam pick two good night-light pearls tomorrow. I'm going to cancel the engagement."

Chen Shan wanted to persuade Bei Yao immediately, but seeing that Bei Yao had made up his mind, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and only replied, "Yes."

-

It snowed all night again.

Xu Yuan got up early, swept the snow with Wu Shiming, and then went back to his room to review his lessons.

Thinking of what Xu Yuan said yesterday, Wu Shiming chased Xu Yuan into the bedroom and asked, "Xu Yuan, aren't you in a hurry to find the Third Prince? The Crown Prince is a very impatient person."

"Marriage is not a joke. The Third Prince will not cancel the engagement just because of a few words from me. Moreover, the one who is holding back on this marriage is the Empress."

The Queen arranges the marriage.

If the queen doesn't give in, it will be useless even if the emperor comes.

Beiyao must have refused many times before, but even so, the queen still refused to give in.

It is very difficult to get the queen to cancel the engagement.

Wu Shiming was even more anxious. "What will you do about what the prince told you to do?"

"We'll take it one step at a time. The prince knows this matter well. It's not that easy to handle. Otherwise, he would have married Song Xiu Yue a long time ago. Marrying Song Xiu Jing would be even more troublesome than marrying Song Xiu Yue."

"Then you still agree to come?"

"The knife is on my neck, I have no choice but to resist. But now my life is not in danger, so why worry?"

Xuyuan asked back.

After that, she moved the charcoal fire a little to the middle and said, "So, why not wait and see."

Wu Shiming suddenly felt something was wrong.

What do you value most when making a wish?

Her life.

But now when he makes a wish, he doesn't seem nervous at all.

It's not that she wasn't afraid of the prince, but she had already made preparations in her mind.

Thinking of this, Wu Shiming asked, "Have you come up with a plan to deal with this?"

"No."

"Then why are you so calm?"

"The New Year is coming soon. The crown prince will marry a wife. Not to mention the crown princess, even a concubine will need time to prepare. It may take half a year or even a year. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xu Yuan smiled, showing no sign of worry at all.

She didn't want to get involved in what the prince and Song Xiujing were going to do. What she wanted to do was to use the prince's power to help Sun Wenjie rise to prominence.

Moreover, even if Song Xiujing's engagement was really broken off, it would be difficult for the prince to marry her.

Because the Crown Princess is about to die.

The Crown Princess had always been in poor health, and after she lost the baby in her womb, she became depressed all day long.

If she remembered correctly, the Crown Princess went there during this New Year.

The Crown Princess died of illness. As the Crown Prince, Bei Yuan did not take a concubine for a year, let alone marry.

A year later, if you make a wish, you don’t even know where you are, so why would you worry?

What's more, she and Bei Yuan each got what they wanted. The prince helped Sun Wenjie rise to prominence, and she helped the prince get rid of the Song family.

As for the rest, she never agreed to anything else.

"That's right." Wu Shiming finally understood a little.

Seeing that Xu Yuan was still reading, he didn't want to disturb him any further, so he immediately left and went to the shop next door to pack up his things.

After Wu Shiming left, Xu Yuan took out a book from under the bed.

Before I had read a few pages, I heard a knock on the door.

Xuyuan paused, took a cloak and went to open the door.

A black horse was tied to a big tree at the gate. Chen Shan was standing outside the gate. When he saw Xu Yuan, he said concisely, "Mr. Xu, my son wants to see you."

After Chen Shan finished speaking, he pointed to the carriage road and said, "It's right above the carriage."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan was a little surprised, "Why doesn't he get off the carriage?"

Chen Shan did not explain, but said: "Mr. Xu will know when he goes up."

Xu Yuan did not doubt anything else and stepped on the stool to go up. When she lifted the curtain of the car, she felt warmth on her face and looked up.

Bei Yao was sitting in the innermost part, his cheeks were slightly red due to the candlelight, his eyes were slightly closed, his eyelashes were very long and all fell down, making him look even more charming.

Beiyao is so handsome that any woman who sees him would feel inferior to him.

Xu Yuan didn't dare to look any further. After getting on the carriage, he asked, "What happened?"

Hearing the noise, Bei Yao opened his eyes and looked at Xu Yuan. There was a smile in his eyes, just like the brilliance of a beautiful jade, but his words were a little hoarse.

"It's okay, I just wanted to come see you."

When Xu Yuan heard Bei Yao's voice change, he immediately asked, "Are you sick? Have you seen a doctor?"

"I don't know how good Dr. Xu is at medicine."

Bei Yao stretched out his hand. His wrist was slender and white, even whiter than the white cloak on his body.

His laughter got louder: "Take my pulse."
