Princess Chenyang's Mansion

"Why did my brother come to my mansion today?" Lie Beiyao poured a cup of tea for Lie Yu and joked with a smile.

"Why, I haven't seen my sister for two days, can't I miss you?" Lie Yu took the tea handed by Lie Beiyao and suddenly held her hand, "Why are your hands so cold?"

Lie Beiyao withdrew his hand, his face was slightly red, and he was a little embarrassed. "Brother......

"Alright......" Lie Yu smiled, "Someone!"

The attendant brought up a hand warmer, and Lie Yu took it and handed it to Lie Beiyao, "It's still very cold, remember to keep warm." ”

"Got it~Brother~" Lie Beiyao said softly.

"Remember to take care of your Highness, if Yao'er catches a cold and is sick, I will only ask you!" Lie Yu said to Lie Yunfeng very seriously.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured, his subordinates understand. Lie Yun Feng Lie Yun Lin looked at each other and smiled.

"Hmm. Flame Feather nodded.

At this time, the guards of the princess's mansion suddenly came in through the door.

"See His Royal Highness the Prince, His Highness. ”

"What's the matter?" asked Lie Beiyao.

"Back to His Royal Highness, Shu Ying, the commander of the left army of the Red Banner Crusader, asked to see His Royal Highness the Prince. The guard replied.

"Shu Ying, let him in. Lie Feather said to the guard.

A moment later, Shu Ying, dressed in military uniform, came in, and he knelt down on one knee and saluted Lie Yu, "See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." After finishing speaking, he got up and made a gesture to Lie Beiyao, "Your Highness the Nine." ”

"Well, what's wrong? Something happened?" asked Lie Yu.

"Back to Your Highness, something did happen. Shu Ying said, "It's just that something happened to Jiuchen." Just yesterday, there was a political incident in Jiuchen, Jiuchen Prince Yeshu launched a coup d'état in the East Palace, and was put down by the Praetorian Guards, and Prince Shu was also killed in the rebellion. Today, Emperor Jiuchen Zhaoning issued an announcement to the outside world, rectified internal affairs, and adjusted the appointment of officials. ”

"Prince Shu rebelled?" Lie Yu was a little incredulous, "But what is the reason?"

It is rumored that Yefan, the king of Jiuchen Qi, collected evidence that Prince Shu collaborated with the enemy, and Prince Shu was frightened and rebelled. The conspirators also have the two brothers of the Nan family, Nan Xuanji Nangong Ying, and now Emperor Zhaoning has let Shang Ye, the commander of the Iron and Blood Army, temporarily replace the two of them. ”

"What about the other princes of Jiuchen?" Lie Yu continued to ask.

"There was no movement. Shu Ying replied.

"It's another ......pawn of political sacrifice," Lie Yu couldn't help but sigh.

Lie Beiyao listened quietly, with an incomprehensible look on his face.

"Yao'er, what's wrong with you?" Lie Yu looked at Lie Beiyao as if she was pondering, and couldn't help but speak.

"It's fine, it's just some... It's a pity for Yeshu. After all, he was... In the nine dust shines on me. "Liebei Yao Road.

"One more thing. Shu Ying interrupted, "It's the emperor's birthday soon, and Emperor Jiuchen sent the four princes, King Guang Yelan, to congratulate him on his birthday." ”

"King of Light?" Lie Yu frowned, "Could it be... Emperor Zhaoning intends to appoint the fourth prince Yelan as the new crown prince?"

"This... The subordinates are not clear. Shu Ying said.

"Sister, what do you think?" Lie Yu asked Lie Bei Yao.

"I don't know. Lie Beiyao smiled.

"My sister Bingxue is smart, and she must have known it for a long time. Lie Yu quipped her.

Lie Beiyao smiled indifferently, an inexplicable excitement welled up in his heart, and there was some joy.

Could it be...

Is it really because of Yelan?

......

Next

Yelan was dressed as an envoy and led the convoy to prepare to set off for Beixuan, and early in the morning, Yejun and Yefan arrived at the city gate to wait for him.

"So early?" Yelan was a little surprised.

"To see off the fourth brother, of course I have to come early. Ye Fan grinned, suddenly approached Ye Lan, and inquired with a malicious face, "Last time I went to the fourth brother's mansion, I saw you carving and grinding a piece of jade, if my brother guessed correctly, this is for the princess of Beixuan, right?"

"Ahem, don't ask if you shouldn't know. Yelan looked at him with a serious face.

"You have to seize the opportunity, now that Ye Shu is dead, if you establish a marriage with Bei Xuan again, the most suitable person is you. It's just that... If you don't move quickly, maybe Princess Beixuan will be snatched away by the princes and nobles of Beixuan. Yejun also ran over and interjected.

"Got it, I'll be sure. Yelan smiled, "Let's not talk about it yet, I'll go first." ”

"Fourth brother go slowly, brother is waiting for you to come back to eat." Ye Fan smiled slightly.

"Got it. Yelan replied to him, turned around and led the envoys out of Kyoto.

......

in the Royal Palace

"Yelan is leaving?"

"Yes. Eunuch Feng Yi replied.

Emperor Zhaoning casually grabbed a handful of bird food and fed the birds, "This matter is over, what happened to the other thing that Fan Bozhong investigated?"

"No follow-up. Feng Yi replied, "I checked the body of Prince Zhang Huai and found four wounds left by hidden weapons, all of which were in critical parts, and the last one hit the prince's neck, resulting in the death of the prince. ”

"You see... Who did it?" asked Emperor Zhaoning.

"It's... The minions don't know. Feng Yi said in panic.

Emperor Zhaoning smiled, "Among the princes, Yelan's secret weapon is the best. ”

But on the day of the incident, King Guang did not leave King Guang's mansion, nor did he make any moves. Feng Yidao.

"The last time the reserves were ... The King of Light did not leave. "Emperor Zhaoning said.

"But the commander of the merchant was present at the time, and he didn't say anything... The minion thinks... Maybe it was Nan Xuanji who killed the prince. ”

"Perhaps. Emperor Zhaoning smiled.

"What happened to Nan Xuanji?"

"The Shang Commander is on the track. Feng Yidao.

"Be mindful. Emperor Zhaoning said expressionlessly.

"Yes. Feng Yi made a move.
