"Your Highness has returned. The emperor inquired and saluted Yelan.

Yelan handed the horse to the guards, and whispered to the emperor, "Is it done?"

"Your Highness, rest assured. Huangfu replied in a low voice.

"On this expedition, you and Mingxu will stay in Kyoto, keep an eye on the movements of the imperial court, and report to me at any time. Yelan asked Huangfu.

"Your Highness, rest assured. The emperor asked, "The Fifth Highness is waiting for you inside." ”

"Ye Fan?" Ye Lan was a little surprised, "I know, you go down and rest first, you've worked hard these days." ”

"Your Highness is serious, and your subordinates have retired. The emperor bowed, turned and walked down the path back to his room.

Yelan returned to the study, where Yefan was looking at the model of the Netherworld Divine Knife that Yejun had sent him, as if he was very interested.

"You like this?" Yelan pointed to the knife mold he was visiting. Ye Fan smiled, "No, no, it's just a hobby." ”

"If you like it, Yejun also gave me a few of them, what Tai Chi Divine Sword, Demon Slashing Knife, Heavenly Sword Model or something, I'll have someone pack it for you. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness. Ye Fan pretended to learn the tone of those ministers, and Ye Lan directly applied internal strength to hit Ye Fan's arm.

"Ouch. Ye Fan screamed, looked at Ye Lan with a complaining face, and learned from his daughter's scream, "I hate it, it hurts people~"

Yelan looked at him expressionlessly, and said coldly, "I didn't take medicine today." ”

Ye Fan withdrew his smiling face, and his expression became serious, "Today you were called into the palace by your father, I'm afraid that you will be unhappy, so liven up the atmosphere." By the way, Yeji and the third brother were also called over today, how about it? What did the father say?"

"Nothing. Yelan sat down and poured a cup of tea, "Father didn't say anything. ”

Ye Fan sat opposite Ye Lan, Ye Lan poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, "Taste, new leaves." ”

"What?" Ye Fan took the teacup and looked at Ye Lan with a puzzled expression.

"The newly bred varieties are not yet available on the market. Yelan explained.

Ye Fan smelled the fragrance of tea and nodded, "The fragrance is mellow, it is indeed good tea." ”

"Looks like that's all you can say. Yelan glanced at him, "That's what you said last time you drank Biluochun." ”

"I don't know much about the tea ceremony, you know, fourth brother. Ye Fan drank the tea in one gulp, and his face was instantly burned and red, but he was embarrassed to spit it out for the sake of etiquette, so he could only swallow it raw.

"If you don't talk much these days, your throat should be burned, and your upper epidermis should be burned. Yelan got up unhurriedly, took out a bottle of medicine from the bookshelf and threw it to Yefan, "Soak it in water and drink it, it can relieve the pain." ”

"Not completely relieved?" Ye Fan looked at Ye Lan with a pleading expression.

"Nope. Ye Lan replied expressionlessly, not looking at Ye Fan's face like ashes at all.

"By the way, what did the third brother tell you that day?" Ye Fan asked curiously.

"The more you know, the faster you die. Yelan glanced at him lightly.

"This expedition to Yeji will definitely take the opportunity to start, what are you prepared for?" Ye Fan changed the subject.

"How can you be sure?" Ye Lan looked at him gloomily, Ye Fan was stared at with a weak heart, so he had to explain honestly, "Actually, it was because I installed someone next to Ye Shu, and that person overheard the conversation between Ye Shu's messenger and the King of Xichang, so ...... Hehe, I know a thing or two. ”

"You planted someone next to Yeshu...... What is the intention?" Ye Lan looked at him tightly, Ye Fan smiled awkwardly, "Fourth brother, this matter is not very convenient......

"Be careful yourself. Yelan said lightly, "Don't put yourself in it, I won't save you." ”

"Don't worry, fourth brother. Ye Fan looked at Ye Lan gratefully, "Since you're fine, then I'll go first." ”

"Be careful on the road. Yelan admonished.

Ye Fan nodded, put the cup down, turned to leave, and threw a sentence to Ye Lan when he arrived at the door, "Remember to pack those sword molds and send them to my house, I remember them, don't regret it." ”

"Yes, let's go, let's go. Yelan said impatiently.

"Hmph. Ye Fan left a word and left.

......

The Imperial Study

"See Your Majesty. Fan Bozhong was dressed lightly and knelt down on one knee to salute Emperor Zhaoning.

Say. Emperor Zhaoning put down the chapter and raised his eyes to look at Fan Bozhong.

"The second place checked the whereabouts of King Guang yesterday, His Royal Highness King Guangwang inspected the military camp yesterday, and stayed in a room with Xiao Xiang's daughter at night, and there was no possibility of committing a crime. The former King of Sunshine summoned the four guards of the heart of the abdomen to 'wind, rain, thunder and lightning', but the two divisions and the 'Lin' guard confirmed that the four did not leave the camp yesterday, and the 'Lin' guard said that yesterday the seven of them had a small gathering, drinking and playing until late at night, and it was impossible to infer according to the hour. The second department checked that no one left the base camp of the heart of the abdomen yesterday, and there has been no personnel transfer recently......"

"Speak directly about the results. "Emperor Zhaoning is a little impatient.

"The verification has nothing to do with the King of Light. Fan Bozhong replied.

Emperor Zhaoning frowned, closed his eyes and thought carefully, and said heavily, "The two places are trusted by you, and 'Lin' is also my confidant, if it is said that 'Lin' was bought by Yelan, it is impossible for the two places to ......."

"Yelan stayed with Xiao Changle all night last night?" Emperor Zhaoning asked suspiciously.

"Yes, the emperor replied. There are also people from two places who testify that the information is absolutely reliable. Fan Bozhong replied with great certainty.

Emperor Zhaoning's eyebrows were twisted together, "Miraculous...... It's amazing...... This son is not simple. ”

"Your Majesty is still not worried about King Guang?" Fan Bozhong observed his words, but Emperor Zhaoning suddenly changed his words, "Xiao Changle stayed in the Guangwang Mansion last night?"

"Yes, Xiao Xiangqian's daughter has always been fond of King Guang, and it is very likely that the two will ...... in private" Fan Bozhong was inconvenient to finish the following words.

"He did it on purpose. Emperor Zhaoning's face was solemn, "Send someone to keep an eye on Yelan and report his movements to me at any time." ”

"Yes. Fan Bozhong arched his hand.

"Yelan...... It's time to exercise him. It's time for him to be inserted into these two forces. Emperor Zhaoning's gaze was gloomy, "I now feel that Yelan is more suitable than Yeshu, his intelligence is more suitable for balancing Yeshu, and he is relatively easy to control without the interference of his mother's forces behind his back." ”

"Your Majesty wants to promote His Royal Highness the King of Light. Fan Bozhong frowned, "Forgive the ministers for their courage, the Guangwang City Mansion is very deep, and it may not be used by His Majesty." ”

"But he will not threaten my throne, and he will also be a generation of Ming monarchs for the development of the country. Emperor Zhaoning said, "He is the most suitable in all respects." ”

"His Royal Highness King Nagong......" Fan Bozhong asked tentatively.

"Look at his own creation. Emperor Zhaoning said coldly, "I sent King Xichang just to train him, his life, his creation depends on himself, I can't help him." ”

"The subordinates understand. Fan Bozhong bowed his head and said.

"Let's go down first. Emperor Zhaoning waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Fan Bozhong was just about to move his steps, his face changed, and he seemed to remember something very important.

"What. Emperor Zhaoning looked up at him.

"A few days ago, the three princes and the five princes visited the Guangwang Mansion at the same time, the five princes left first, and the three princes stayed inside for more than an hour before leaving. Fan Bozhong said to Emperor Zhaoning.

"Yejun......" Emperor Zhaoning pondered, "I know, retreat." ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired. Fan Bozhong said.

"Wait. Emperor Zhaoning stopped him again.

"What's the matter with the emperor?" Fan Bozhong turned around.

"On the reserve side, find a reason to reassure everyone. Emperor Zhaoning commanded.

"The subordinates understand. Fan Bozhong replied.

......

Nan'an Palace

Yejun was sitting upright in the study, mopping the floor in a green coat and holding a pen in his hand. His expression was focused, and the wolf swayed freely on the paper, outlining a beautiful picture.

"The light rain in the sky street is as moist as a crisp, and the grass color is close but there is nothing. "Ye Fan doesn't know when he came in from outside," the predecessor said, just like your painting. ”

"Wrong. Yejun stopped his pen and gently put the wolf on the pen stand, "This picture of the spring scene of the paddock that I drew is just as the predecessors said." ”

"But this day the street light rain is as crisp as what you say is the rain and fog in the rain over the drizzle over the Beijing Avenue, how do you paint a picture of the spring scene of the paddock?" Ye Fan pointed to the painting with a fan.

"I don't like the chaos in Kyoto, and in a city like this, there is never such a beautiful scenery in the rain. Yejun said lightly, "Looking for me for something?"

"It's fine. Ye Fan picked up a chair and sat down at random.

"I've just been to the Guangwang Mansion and I've seen Yelan. Yejun raised his eyes to look at Yefan, "He's fine." ”

"Hmm. Ye Fan nodded, "The third brother guessed well, and it was also thanks to the third brother's words." ”

"You asked me to give the roster to Yelan, why don't you give it to him yourself and let him do it for you?"

Ye Fan was silent, and the eyes of the two met in the air, "If the third brother asks the fourth brother, he won't ask more, but if it's me, I'm afraid that the fourth brother will be suspicious." ”

"You had a holiday with the Zuo clan?"

"Back then, Concubine Shu framed my mother, and it was Zuo Zongquan's hands and feet. Ye Fan tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, "She can't see my mother give birth to me as a prince, even if my mother is not favored, she still wants to get rid of her." ”

"According to my father's favor for Concubine Shu...... Concubine Xian Niangniang died unjustly. Yejun's voice was full of sympathy, Yejun's biological mother Concubine Xiang and Yefan's biological mother Concubine Xian were good sisters, and the two entered the palace together, but now only Concubine Xiang was left.

If it weren't for Concubine Xiang's father being a second-class official in the DPRK and China, and he was named Jing Anbo, I am afraid that she would end up like a virtuous concubine.

"Although the queen is vicious, because the Liu family is behind her back, she is not afraid of the harem concubines giving birth to children, and if she cares, she is only Concubine Shu. But Concubine Shu, she was worried that her son's position would be threatened, so she didn't dare to make a move against the queen, so she could only use my mother and concubine!" Ye Fan's face turned red, the hand holding the table couldn't help trembling, and the warm liquid fell to the ground drop by drop.

"The queen may not have killed with a knife. Yejun said lightly, "Concubine Shu is a jealous woman and a foolish woman, and the queen is afraid that she will be fueling the trouble behind her back." ”

"I understand. But it was Concubine Shu who did it, and if she took revenge, she wanted to find his son. Ye Fan's eyes were bloodshot, as if they were going to swell out in the next second, and the green tendons on his hands and face burst out. Ye Fan, who has always laughed, has such a ...... in his heart Alas......

"You calm down. The Night Monarch sighed, "It's hard to survive in the royal family, and since we've survived, let's not trample on our lives." ”

"Third brother, I understand. Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person collapsed on the chair, a little prostration.

"During this time, I can't go back and forth to the Guangwang Mansion, so as not to be suspicious of my father. You are about to be crowned, you have to have your own mansion outside the palace, and you have to be more steady. ”

"Hmm. Ye Fan nodded slightly, "Alas~ It's not too early...... I...... It's better to go back to the palace first. ”

"You are so weak, let me send someone to call you a carriage. Yejun teased.

"No need for the third brother, just rest for a while. Yefan coughed lightly.
