“……”

After waiting for a long time and not hearing the "applause" that should have sounded, Xiao Yichen could only put down the handsome face with his head held high to the sky, and helplessly began to scan the four people in front of him back and forth. I saw that the beautiful general Beichen Duolan still maintained her ice cube face, staring at herself indifferently; Beichen was speechless, her eyes wandered around, as if she was unwilling to deal with His Royal Highness, who was occasionally out of tune in his own family; Shangguan Qiuyue was smiling reluctantly at the moment, as if she wanted to give His Royal Highness the prince some face; only the little beauty Shangguan Qiuxing nodded desperately to save face, but just looking at her cute face, I knew that there was a typical example of whether she understood or not.

"Hey~~ It's not that the king said you, you really don't have a sense of appreciation. This king's hard speech, even if it is wishful thinking, should at least give a little applause to show encouragement. Xiao Yichen muttered with a bitter gourd on his face, turned his head to look up at the side with his back hand, and sighed: "Every time this kind of moment, this king will think of Fulin, no matter how bad it is, it's good to have Allure and Xiao Jiu." ”

"Hehe, Your Highness, don't make a fuss. Xing'er rushed to Xiao Yichen's side, wrapped his arm around his side and said with a smile on his little face: "Up and down the Lingxiao Palace, who doesn't know that Xiao Fulin, the chief of the internal chamberlain, is the number one sycophant in the world, as long as it is what Your Highness says, he will all boast fiercely." As for the princess of Allure, she is the most noisy, with her, she will be coaxed when she has nothing to do. Hehe, the remaining Nine Highnesses are not yet ten years old this year, and they are fooled by Your Highness every time. Hee-hee......"

"Little girl, I hurt you in vain. Xiao Yichen glared fiercely at the giggling little beauty beside him, but in exchange for that sweet smile.

In desperation, His Royal Highness the Prince, who lost the interest in continuing to dream, slowly walked towards his throne, and just sat down, Yue'er on the side had already picked up the fragrant tea and sent it to him, and said softly: "Your Highness, although what you said is very reasonable, we are already aware of the importance of that girl, but ...... The slave was still a little worried. ”

"Oh, worry, tell me, what are you worried about?" Xiao Yichen took the teacup, but his starry eyes fell on Yue'er's delicate and lovely face.

Yue'er Dai, who was not going to hide anything in front of Xiao Yichen, frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, she said: "Your Highness, although your operation to exterminate the orc race this time was very smooth in the early stage, you suffered an accident on the way back. In your absence, I have already found out that those aqua crystals are mixed with 'spiral stones' that are easily caused by the star's spiritual power. Therefore, we can be sure that this time you were sucked into the black hole, it was definitely not an accident, but a well-planned assassination. ”

"Well, go on. Xiao Yichen sucked a sip of tea, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, but his expression was still indifferent.

Nodding slightly, Yue'er continued: "Although there are assassinations against His Highness every year, this time the method is extremely simple, but it has extremely high lethality. So, if you think about it a little deeper, maybe the thieves hidden behind the scenes are not so simple?"

As if he had understood what Yue'er meant, Xiao Yichen put down the teacup in his hand, tapped the armrest of the throne slightly, and said: "Yue'er means that the little girl who was brought out of the black hole by this king may be a killer who was awakened and trained by the other party, or a latent chess piece?"

"Yes. Although the slave maid also thought that this was not very likely, in any case, the woman's origin was unknown, and it seemed that she had a lot of secrets that would be of interest to your Highness. If she was really the killer carefully arranged by those rebellious ministers and thieves, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous for His Highness to keep her by his side? Therefore, the slave begged His Highness to keep the woman in strict custody, and after returning to Shengjing, she would be handed over to the Inspectorate to find out her origin before being punished. Yue'er bent down slightly, lowered her head and said.

"The last general seconded!" Beichen Dolan, a female general who had always been silent, did not even hesitate at this moment, and bowed to salute.

"The last general seconded the proposal! Sister Yue'er is right, it is too dangerous to leave a woman of unknown origin by His Royal Highness's side. Rather than for the sake of those interests that cannot be proven, it is better to ensure your safety, Your Highness. The last general believes that as long as His Highness is in one day, whether it is the White Wa people or the Semu people, or the Northwest Twenty Kingdoms, they will not want to step into the imperial holy land for half a step!"

Only Xing'er, who had already circled the throne at the moment, stretched out her tender little hand and gently pinched Xiao Yichen's shoulder, as if she had no intention of interjecting in such a big decision.

Fingers rhythmically tapped lightly on the armrest of the throne for a moment, Xiao Yichen's starry eyes seemed to have made a decision, raised his hand slightly and said, "You get up first, there is no need to be polite in front of this king." ”

"Your Highness. After everyone finished speaking in unison, they straightened up again, and their eyes fell on the handsome face of the young highness in front of them again.

Glancing back and forth at everyone, Xiao Yichen smiled and said, "Your loyalty and advice are known to this king, but he will not do what you say. Don't worry, listen to the king's reasoning. ”

After raising his hand to stop everyone's movements, Xiao Yichen raised his finger and said, "Let's not talk about whether that woman is useful to the empire or not, let's assume that she is indeed a well-trained killer." So think about it, if it were you, if it took so much effort and elaborate arrangement of this bureau to put a killer by the king's side, would it be to simply take the king's life? To put it bluntly, even if she really wanted to take the king's life, what was the chance of success? Well, if it wasn't for the king's life, then there must be a more important mission, such as stealing the defense map of the whole empire's star army in the king's hands! Or some other more important information, or even important cutting-edge technology, and so on. But no matter what, as long as she wants to do these things, it will be impossible overnight, and there will inevitably be some changes. Since this is the case, then why didn't this king keep her by his side? On the one hand, it can better 'satisfy' her wishes, and on the other hand, it can also 'satisfy' the requirements of the people behind the scenes...... Oh, no, Kitano Sakurako should be told to 'go satisfied', the Thunder Fortress at the northern end of the bone-devouring corridor in the hands of the white widows, I'm afraid that this king still doesn't know how many imperial warriors' lives to fill it up!

After hearing Xiao Yichen's words, Yue'er sighed in her heart, and after slightly tilting her head and exchanging glances with the two sisters and brothers of the Beichen family, she said: "Since His Royal Highness has made a decision, the slave has no opinion. It's just that before finding out her background and origin, I hope that His Royal Highness will not be careless. ”
