In the carriage, Lin Wan leaned on Qingtong's arms, drowsy. The whole day of pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info was really tired of her body and mind.

Because Kapok Zi is from the Northern Chen Kingdom, although the official dialect is excellent, he also has some accents. I'm worried about being suspected, so I don't talk much in front of people. At this moment, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Wan'er, someone is following us." ”

Lin Wan opened his eyes, frowned slightly, and asked outside the carriage, "Gale Wind, is anyone following us?"

Gale hesitated a little, but still used the sound transmission into the secret ground exercises, and said to Lin Wanyu: "Miss, it's the Seventh Prince, he won't let me tell you." ”

Lin Wan sighed lightly, nodded slowly, and said, "I know, let's go back first." ”

The carriage continued to move forward and finally stopped in front of the Lin Xiangfu. The gate of Lin Xiang's Mansion was ajar, and the leader of the guards inside the door, seeing that Lin Wan was back, immediately ordered his subordinates to open the gate and bowed forward.

Lin Wan stepped down from the carriage, turned to look at Zhao Mingjin who was sitting on horseback, smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you eldest cousin for sending me back, it's not too early, I won't invite you in." Go back and report your safety, don't worry your grandmother. ”

Zhao Mingjin nodded, didn't say anything, watched Lin Wan enter Lin Xiang's mansion, and then took a few guards to turn the horse's head, drive the carriage, and go back to the house.

Walking into the house, Qingtong carried the lamp, Kapok Zi supported Lin Wan, and slowly walked towards the Autumn Garden.

Hearing the movement behind him, Kapok suddenly turned around and shouted, "Who?"

Lin Wan was overjoyed in her heart, turned around, and saw the person clearly, but let her smile freeze on her face, and she couldn't help but let out a sigh of disappointment, and asked in a low voice, "It's so late, what is Prince Ximen doing here?"

Ximen Yu smiled lightly, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why haven't you seen you for a few hours, Wan'er and I are estranged again?" Didn't you call me Brother Ximen in front of Uncle Zhou today?"

Lin Wan was stunned, looked at Ximen Yuqing's expectant gaze, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, and said, "It's just a title, is it so important to you?"

Ximen Yuqing nodded slightly seriously and said, "Of course." ”

Lin Wan hesitated a little, but after a little thought, he finally compromised. Nodding slightly, he asked again, "Brother Ximen is waiting for me here, is there something wrong?"

Ximen Yuqing happily hooked the corners of his mouth, nodded, and said, "I've been waiting for you here for a long time, and I want to discuss with you about Lan Ziling." ”

Lin Wan frowned and asked suspiciously, "Lan Ziling, has something happened?"

Ximen Yuqing took two steps closer and said in a low voice: "Lan Ziheng has already entered the capital, and now he is in the palace of the Great Prince, and his honor guard will enter the capital in three days." Lan Ziheng quietly brought a person, and now he has met with Zhou Tianhong, probably to win Zhou Tianhong's support. ”

Lin Wan's heart moved, and he frowned and asked, "Is the person he brought Ximen Yuling?"

Ximen Yuqing was stunned when he heard this, then nodded and smiled: "Wan'er is really smart, how did you guess that it was him?"

Lin Wan smiled slightly and replied, "You and Lan Ziling have come to the capital, how can Ximen Yuling still sit still? He is not only worried that you have taken away his sweetheart and preemptively formed an alliance with the Nanyue State, but he is also worried that you have won the support of the emperor of the Great Feng Kingdom, which will be detrimental to their plan to seize the throne. Therefore, he must come, get Lan Ziling, and get Zhou Tianhong's support. In the Great Feudal Kingdom, there is only one person who can support him, and that is Zhou Tianhong, who married Princess Ziyue and has a close relationship with Nanyue. ”

Ximen Yuqing nodded and said, "You have analyzed it very well, that's exactly the case." I wonder, what do you think about that?"

Lin Wan smiled faintly, shook his head, and said, "I don't have any opinion. Lan Ziheng brought Ximen Yuling to force you to make a decision. If you don't agree to an alliance with the South Vietnamese state, they will support Simon Hucheng's father and son to take the throne. And Zhou Tianhong, now that he is difficult to protect, there is no need to worry at all. Zhou Tianhong has now lost the position of the crown prince and the support of the Lu family, and he is keeping his head in obscurity, and he never dares to do anything that makes the emperor and the queen mother dissatisfied. ”

Ximen Yuqing shook the folding fan lightly, thought for a while, frowned and asked: "Aren't you worried that I will choose to form an alliance with the South Yue State? If I agree to marry Lan Ziling and form an alliance with the South Yue State, then the current crisis of the Xiling Kingdom will be completely resolved, why should I take the risk of cooperating with you and making an enemy of the South Yue State?"

Lin Wan smiled and said, "Of course you won't." If you form an alliance with the Nanyue Kingdom, you are destined to be the enemy of the Great Feudal State, and war is inevitable. And you, Xiling Kingdom, have always been unwilling to get involved in the war, let alone become a pawn of the South Vietnamese Kingdom. After a pause, he raised his chin and said word by word: "Besides, even if the Xiling Kingdom and the Nanyue Kingdom form an alliance, they will not be able to help the Great Feudal State, not to mention, we still have the support of the Dongli Kingdom and the Northern Chen Kingdom." ”

Ximen Yuqing shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Only you dare to say this." ”

Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Brother Ximen, we are friends, not enemies. That's why I'm going to be blunt in front of you. I trust that you will not betray our friendship and have never doubted it. ”

Ximen Yuqing smiled bitterly and muttered, "Friendship?"

Hearing Ximen Yuqing's somewhat sour voice, Lin Wan's heart was shocked, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

The two stood opposite each other, and after a long time, Lin Wancai slowly spoke, and said, "It's not early, Brother Ximen should go back to rest early, Wan'er will go back first." After speaking, he slowly turned around and walked towards the Autumn Garden.

Ximen Yuqing stood in place for a long time, looking at Lin Wan's figure gradually disappearing into the night, sighed, and muttered, "Is it a friend? or an enemy? Is there really no third choice?"

After a long time, Ximen Yuqing turned around and walked towards the Lingyun Pavilion in the outer courtyard.

When Ximen Yuqing walked away, a person slowly walked out of the woods, wearing a black mask and a black dress, as if he was one with the night.

The man was long, his eyes as clear as the stars, and he could not see the expression under the mask, but he could feel the coldness and resentment around him.

He was on tiptoe, and his figure had disappeared into the night. When he reappeared, he had already landed at the door of the west wing of the Autumn Garden.

Gale suddenly appeared in front of him and said in a low voice, "Seventh Prince, please stay, Miss is bathing." ”

Zhou Tianqi's eyes sharpened, glanced at the gale, and said coldly: "I know." However, his footsteps did not stop, he reached out and pushed open the door of the west wing, flashed in, and gently closed the door.

Gale stood outside the door, frowned and thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and finally disappeared silently into the darkness.
