Chapter Seventy-Eight

Jun Xiao only felt a thunderclap slammed into his ears, shaking his eardrums and his heart was confused.

His eyes were as cold and cold as an eagle's falcon, and a pair of hands on his knees were pinched white in his sleeves, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, as if he was facing a great enemy, and said, "Do the four girls know what they are talking about?"

Le Yu was careless, her expression was lazy, as if she didn't say what she said just now, and picked up the purple clay pot to continue the tea cup in front of Jun Xiao: "There is no one else here, it doesn't matter what I say."

Jun Xiao gradually calmed down, and said after a moment of silence: "Is this what Da Sima meant?" Le Yu understood what he was referring to, and sighed secretly: "This is what I meant."

Jun Xiao looked at Le Yu in disbelief, this girl is only thirteen or fourteen years old, although she is talented and beautiful, but after all, she is just a daughter who is raised in a deep boudoir and is embarrassed. He suddenly didn't know what to say, he knew better than anyone how bloody and dangerous the road was, why was this little girl sitting here with him?

Jun Xiao got up and said lightly: "I owe you a favor." As he spoke, he turned around and wanted to leave. His reaction was expected by Le Yu, but she only took a sip of the slightly hot tea, and said lightly: "The front and the back house are one. Who said that a woman should live with her husband and children? You are not as good as the eldest prince, and the holy family is not as good as the second prince, and even the third or fourth is more likely than you.

Jun Xiao's footsteps paused, remembering that the woman in front of him was shining at the Spring Festival Banquet, the wild and uninhibited cursive writing was shocking, the chess skills were dense and weird, even Cheng Lingye was not an opponent, and he could easily solve his dilemma at that time, how could she be an ordinary boudoir woman?

He quietly turned around and sat down, looking at the calm Le Yu with complicated eyes, and asked for a long time: "Why?" Although he said without a beginning or an end, Le Yu understood what he meant, put down the teacup and said: "The eldest prince is suspicious and cruel, vicious and impulsive, except for his background, he is not a human monarch; “

Jun Xiao thought of another person in a trance, and there was a lot of overlap with Le Yu's words, which couldn't help but make him look at Le Yu deeply, "Having said that, the storage position is too far away from me after all." What are your thoughts?"

Le Yu's heart was slightly relaxed, her cheeks as white as jade rose slightly, and her confident demeanor was glamorous: "As the eldest son, the eldest prince still can't be made the crown prince, in the final analysis, he is just a saint." The second prince is mediocre but can become a popular candidate for the prince, and in the final analysis, he is just a saint. They can, why can't you?"

Jun Xiao's stiff and straight sword eyebrows raised slightly, "My background has always been a hard injury, even if I can win the attention of my father, I can't convince everyone in the court." His tone usually did not fluctuate at all, and it was obvious that he was only stating one thing, and he did not resent, feel inferior, or unwilling.

Le Yu stroked the smooth and rounded lines of the purple sand teacup in her hand, and her eyes were cold: "Your biological mother died early, if you don't mind, recognize another high-ranking concubine as your mother, you can turn your birth around, at least on an equal footing with the second prince." “

Jun Xiao's mind was racing, Concubine An, as the sister of Shoufu An Huaisu, had been favored by the emperor for more than ten years, and her position was only below the queen Song, but there was no man and half woman. Now the An family has faintly leaned towards the eldest prince...... He hesitated a little, "Concubine An?"

Le Yu's eyes were dim, and a shallow smile appeared but she didn't answer. Jun Xiao took a deep breath, looking at Le Yu's gaze was already different, how could a woman with such insight meet lightly?

The teapot on the table was already cold, drinking cold and slightly astringent tea, but Jun Xiao's heart was hot. Zhuji stood aside, her face was already pale, she didn't want Le Yu to be so bold and dare to participate in such a thing as snatching the heir and destroying the family at every turn! She was just a girl, but now she heard such a big event?!

Jun Xiao pressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "This year's Father's Birthday Festival is particularly grand, what should I do in terms of birthday gifts to win his favor?"

Le Yu smiled, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely seek a unique birthday gift for Your Highness." Jun Xiao was excited but also a little hesitant, "Now that I am fledgling, will my rash appearance attract the joint targeting of the two factions?"

Le Yu lowered her eyes and looked at the patterns on the tablecloth on the stone blue and gold silk embroidered brocade tablecloth, and her eyelashes blinked lightly and cast a row of fine shadows, "The battle for the heir has just begun, and it's too early to say." The courtiers and nobles are all watching. You also have to let people see hope, otherwise who will want to follow you? But a birthday gift will not arouse the alarm of the two factions. ”

After Jun Xiao left, Le Yu sat for a long time without moving, and only slowly breathed a sigh for a long time. The Xiao family has long been in the whirlpool, and his father obviously wants to stay out of the matter, but if he is allowed to develop, the eldest prince will be crowned the crown prince in two years, this person is narrow-minded, and he has been rejected many times to win over his father, but he is afraid that he already has a grudge in his heart, even if he prevents Le Xian from becoming the crown princess, it will be useless.

Le Yu knows very well that the biggest shadow of the Xiao family comes from the supreme person of Dayong, since learning about the Anshun County Palace, Le Yu has vaguely glimpsed a corner of the facts of the year. Only the prince who participates in the seizure of the heir and supports the Xiao family can have the power to protect himself, or can he avoid the tragic ending......

Zhuji poured all the residual tea in Le Yu's cup, and replaced it with hot new tea with trembling hands.

Le Yu sighed lightly, holding Zhuji's fingertips to stop the panic and fear in her heart: "Don't be afraid, with me, I will definitely protect you." It was a simple sentence, but it seemed to have magical power, Zhu Ji no longer trembled, looked at Le Yu in a daze, and said in a sour tone: "Girl, why are you doing this?"

Le Yu was silent for a while, she didn't know how to explain to her henchmen, she glanced at Qingmei, but her expression was calm and even indifferent, as if she hadn't heard the previous qiē at all.

Le Yu opened her mouth, but she still wanted to speak, and said gloomily: "I have a reason why I have to do it, Zhuji, thank you for accompanying me all the way to protect me, this matter is indeed too dangerous, and I don't want you to follow me to take risks." After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't blame you, I will find a good family for the two of you after I go back, and marry you in style."

Zhuji was stunned, and Qingmei was also stunned, Zhuji screamed sadly, slammed her knees, and tears fell like beads: "Girl, don't want Zhuji, Zhuji is your slave, Zhuji won't leave!"

Qingmei bit her lower lip and didn't speak, but her eyes showed stubbornness.Le Yu gently stroked Zhuji's white and tender cheeks, and sadness also appeared in her eyes, "Silly girl, there is a feast in the world, sooner or later there will be this day.......

The cold Qingmei interrupted Le Yu's words for the first time, and there was anger in her words, "I bought it from the girl, life and death are the girl's people, besides, we are both gone, is there anyone else available to the girl?"

Zhuji shook her head desperately, crying silently: "Girl, the slave is not afraid of danger, the slave will never abandon the girl, the slave and the slave are just..."
