Chapter 52 Ye Youyue returns!
Guo Youzhi was speechless for a moment. Xiao Yan did not curse his mother. He was just too sensitive towards his mother!
"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I was just too excited!"
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Lord Guo is filial to his mother, which makes me very happy. Being filial to your mother shows that you are a person who can distinguish right from wrong."
"I know what you are thinking, it would be better if you could put it more clearly!"
"No matter what you do, I won't make a fuss about your family!"
"When you get old, you should enjoy your old age, so you don't have to worry!"
Guo Youzhi was stunned by the hidden dagger in his words. It seemed that Xiao Yan knew everything he had done.
"Your Highness, we both know this very well, but sometimes I have no choice."
“I really had to do this!”
Xiao Yan shook his head: "Master Guo, some things are not unavoidable, but you did not stick to your bottom line!"
"If you know it's impossible but still do it, then this matter is a little unreasonable, isn't it?"
"Hu Zhenghe has done you a favor, and I know this very well, but, in the end, you still didn't stick to your bottom line!"
"You know very well what Hu Zhenghe is up to, but you still aid him in his evil deeds. I wonder if Mr. Guo can live with his conscience?"
Guo Youzhi was stunned for a moment. It seemed that Xiao Yan knew clearly about his conspiracy with Hu Zhenghe and he did not doubt it.
"Your Highness, I will do my best to fulfill my duty for the Great Zhou within my ability!"
"I don't think I have done anything wrong."
"Although some things can be done and some cannot be done, it is ultimately determined by humans, isn't it?"
"If Your Highness feels that I have violated the interests of the Great Zhou, then just arrest me!"
Xiao Yan sneered when he heard this.
"Master Guo, with your abilities, you shouldn't be in your current position. I know your abilities very well."
"It's not impossible to go further, but it depends on who you follow."
"Are you sure Hu Zhenghe is your mentor?"
"I don't think so. You know very well what situation he is in now, so you should be more cautious about this matter!"
"Don't make the mistake!"
Through this test, Xiao Yan probably understood that Guo Youzhi was not very loyal to Hu Zhenghe, and he must have done so for his own future.
"Your Highness, how can a person live without pursuits? I have them too, but you cannot give them to me now, so it is useless to say these."
"Without the Prime Minister, there would be no minister today. I understand what you mean, but I will not obey you!"
Xiao Yan didn't expect that Guo Youzhi would be able to speak to him so frankly.
"I do admire you a little, but you should know that you are risking your life when you say this!"
Guo Youzhi shook his head and said, "I am doing what I should do. Your Highness has no reason to kill me. If I really did something that would anger Your Highness, I am afraid my body would be torn apart by now."
"But if the Lord orders me to die, I must die!"
"Your Highness, the power is in your hands. How you decide is up to you, and how you act is up to me."
At this time, Xiao Yan really admired Guo Youzhi. He spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, but with a bit of courage.
If others heard what I said, they would probably kneel down and beg for mercy!
"Very good, I like it very much, but are you really not going to think about this matter anymore?"
"Hu Zhenghe is not a good leader!"
Guo Youzhi smiled and said, "Your Highness, I disagree with what you said. I only have one master, and that is Your Majesty!"
"Your Highness, you are not qualified yet . As for Hu Zhenghe, he is not worthy yet!"
"Why do I do this? I have my own difficulties. I hope Your Highness can forgive me!"
Xiao Yan did not expect Guo Youzhi to speak so directly.
"Hahaha, not bad, really not bad!"
"You say one thing and do another. You still have to be Mr. Guo!"
"Do you know that I can kill you based on what you are doing now?"
Guo Youzhi still shook his head and said: "As I said just now, Your Highness can arrest the person if he has evidence!"
"I will not shy away from saying anything . If Your Highness feels that I am still useful, then there is no need to say more!"
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Okay, go back now, I understand!"
Guo Youzhi was stunned. He thought he was going to be in trouble today, but he didn't expect that he would be let go.
"this……"
Xiao Yan looked at Guo Youzhi and said, "Why, Lord Guo doesn't want to?"
Guo Youzhi shook his head gently and said, "No, I just feel that this matter is a little..."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I will take my leave now!"
After saying this, Guo Youzhi left Xiao Yan's study.
After Guo Youzhi left, Xiao Yan began tapping the table with his fingers out of habit.
Through this test he realized that it was not as easy as he thought to subdue Guo Youzhi.
His mother alone is probably not enough. This man has great ambitions, and Hu Zhenghe is just a stepping stone for him!
“Talent, talent!”
"Hu Zhenghe, do you really think you have subdued him? It seems not possible!"
Xiao Yan was thinking, when Sande hurried in.
"Your Highness, Miss Youyue is back."
Xiao Yan was stunned. Is it so fast?
I thought it would take ten days, but he's back in just four days?
"Let her in!"
"Your servant greets His Highness!"
When Ye Youyue said this, her eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan, and the longing in her eyes was revealed!
Xiao Yan quickly stood up, helped him up, and then held him in his arms!
Xiao Yan missed him quite a bit because he hadn't seen him for a few days.
"Thank you for your hard work. Is everything okay?"
Ye Youyue pressed her cheek against Xiao Yan's chest, feeling the sound of his heartbeat.
"I am fine. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. I have saved the person!"
"At this time, he has been arranged in a small courtyard in the capital. Youyou is guarding there. There is nothing to worry about!"
Hearing Ye Youyue's words, Xiao Yan felt warm in his heart.
Seeing how tired she looks, she must have been very busy these days!
"Why don't you take a good rest? You are so tired!"
As he said this, he stroked Ye Youyue's cheek with heartache!
Ye Youyue shook her head slightly and said, "It's not hard to share His Highness's worries, I'm just a little tired from traveling for days!"
“But it was done in the end.”
"Your Highness, how are you doing? Guo Youzhi is not that easy to win back!"
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Yes, this person is not that simple. I just had a few words with him."
"This person has great ambitions, but he followed the wrong person. I must win him back, otherwise it will be a loss for my Great Zhou!"
He certainly didn't want to see Guo Youzhi follow Hu Zhenghe down the same path until the end.
It has to be used at the critical moment. If used well, it will definitely be a sharp sword.
"Your Highness, it's good that you know what's going on. If you can take it down, it won't be in vain."
Xiao Yan nodded when he heard this.
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"
Just as the two were being affectionate, Sande hurried over.
