Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Calm Before the Storm

Xiao Wanmian and Yelan went to the main hall, and just sat down, Yelan asked, "How is Xiao Changle's body?"

"The little girl is fine, Your Highness can go and see it when she arrives. Xiao Wanmian said.

"That's fine. Yelan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Today's court, Your Majesty has crowned His Royal Highness as the Lord of the Protector of the King, and King Qi as the Iron Hat Prince, Your Highness can see Your Majesty's intentions?"

Ye Lan smiled slightly, "On the surface, it is a great reward and glory for me, but in fact, this also shows that my father does not consider making me or Ye Fan the crown prince." ”

"The emperor summoned the four-member party a few days ago, and the edict of the prince has been written, and it is estimated that the banquet will be announced to the world tonight. ”

"I didn't expect the night to be quite calm. Yelan smiled.

"His Royal Highness gave Shen Kuo to King Yi, and King Yi is on his side, I'm afraid he will use this matter as a handle. ”

"But Shen Kuo's incident alone is not enough to convict, and Ye Shu can't be dismounted. Yelan said.

Xiao Wanmian touched his beard, and there was a kind of old and lofty light in his eyes.

"Your Highness may not have noticed, His Royal Highness King Qi can't bear it anymore. ”

"Yefan?" Yelan was taken aback.

"According to my years of experience as an official, His Royal Highness King Qi's strategic layout should be above you. His Royal Highness King Qi's forbearance is much higher than yours, and the appearance he reveals is deceptive. ”

"I don't believe it. Yelan shook his head, "Yefan has always been simple-minded and reckless, how could he ......?"

"It doesn't hurt. Xiao Wanmian interrupted, "King Qi is good friends with you, and he won't harm you when he does things." ”

"However, after canonizing King Gong as the crown prince, His Royal Highness has to make some calculations. Xiao Wanmian stopped talking, and got up after speaking, "Your Highness can't stay with me for long, after going to see Changle, I will send Your Highness out of the house." ”

"Okay, there's Lao Xiaoxiang. Yelan said.

Xiao Wanmian took Yelan to Xiao Changle's room, and when she entered the door, the maid was serving medicine to Xiao Changle, and Yelan said to the maid, "I'll come." ”

The maid set her eyes on Xiao Wanmian, Xiao Wanmian nodded, and the maid handed the decoction to Yelan, Xiao Wanmian motioned for them to retreat, and then closed the door for them.

"Your Highness, why don't you come by myself. Xiao Changle was a little embarrassed.

"I'll come. Yelan refused, he fed the medicine to Xiao Changle spoonful by spoonful, Xiao Changle's eyes always looked at Yelan's handsome face, and he was very happy in his heart.

"When I'm done with the last thing, I'll marry you. Yelan said suddenly.

"Really?" Xiao Changle's eyes lit up.

"But I have to wronged you and be my side concubine. Yelan's eyes darkened, and he felt a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, Changle doesn't care about fame. Xiao Changle smiled, smiling sincerely and sweetly.

"Don't worry, I won't treat you harshly. Yelan said softly.

"What is Your Highness going to do?" Xiao Changle asked.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you. Yelan thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to get rid of Yeshu." ”

Xiao Changle's face was calm, and he didn't seem surprised by this answer. "His Highness has a grudge against His Highness, and it was He who harmed His Highness. ”

"It's not because of this. Yelan's face was serious, "It's because of Yefan." ”

"What does Your Highness mean by this?" Xiao Changle was puzzled.

Ye Shu's biological mother was locked up in the cold palace, Ye Shu has returned to Kyoto now, he may not have heard a little rumor, but he didn't dare to question his father, nor did he dare to intercede for his biological mother, but he would definitely count this matter on Ye Fan's head. ”

"For the sake of Yefan, he must also die. Yelan said fiercely.

"I respect Your Highness's decision. Xiao Changle smiled, "But Your Highness is careful in everything." ”

"I'm fine. Yelan shook his head, "You take care of your body in the house, pay attention to rest, and don't run around these days." ”

"Changle knows. Xiao Changle nodded.

"Well, that's fine. Yelan got up, "I'll go first." ”

"Your Highness, walk slowly. ”

......

Guangwang Mansion

"See Your Highness. As soon as Yelan's carriage stopped, Mingxu greeted him. "Your Highness has finally returned, and I'm impatient. ”

"Really?" Yelan patted him on the shoulder, "This expedition has been a bit long, isn't it very lonely to leave you in the mansion for so long." ”

"No, I can only be with Huangfu Xun, and the two of us think about you every day. Mingxu complained.

"What about Huangfu Inquiry?" Mingxu said this, and Yelan remembered.

"Huangfu Xun entertained the two princes inside. Ming Xu lowered his voice and leaned into Yelan's ear, "As soon as you came back, the third prince Yejun came, and the fifth highness Yefan also came over, and they were all inside." ”

"Yejun and Yefan?" Yelan was a little puzzled, "I see." ”

In the back garden, Yejun and Yefan are talking leisurely there. Yelan walked over to say hello to the two, "When did you come over?"

"It didn't take long for this game to be over. Ye Fan smiled and said to Ye Lan.

Looking at Ye Fan, Ye Lan's complexion changed, and a touch of darkness flashed in his eyes.

"What's the matter, Fourth Brother?" Ye Fan asked as he looked at Ye Lan's bad face.

"It's fine. Ye Lan sat down on the stool between the two of them, but her eyes kept falling on Ye Fan.

Ye Fan is as lively and bright as ever, he and Ye Jun are very happy, the two of them come and go, sometimes Ye Fan profits, sometimes Ye Jun has the upper hand, laughter, no more harmonious.

"The appearance of him is deceptive. For some reason, Ye Lan's mind frequently appeared Xiao Wanmian's words.

Is the Ye Fan in front of him really fake? But he smiled so sincerely......

"Fourth brother, what's wrong with you today? Ye Fan said strangely.

"It's okay, I just feel that after a trip, you are becoming more and more mature and stable. Yelan smiled.

"Yefan is indeed much more stable. Yejun seconded, "You're not too young, shouldn't you find a girl you like to restrain your heart?"

Ye Fan was unhappy, "You and the fourth brother don't have it, why am I in a hurry?"

"Speaking of which, I just heard that you went to visit Miss Xiao, how is it, is it time for the marriage to be decided?" Yejun looked at Yelan.

"Don't worry, wait a little longer. Yelan poured a cup of tea and watched them play chess.

Palace

Hall of Reward

Emperor Zhaoning took the book from the bookshelf and flipped through the book at will.

"Your Majesty, you are going to announce the matter of the crown prince tonight?" asked the eunuch Feng Yi.

"Why not?" Emperor Zhaoning raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Don't dare. Feng Yi said in panic, "It's just so sudden, I'm afraid there will be criticism below." ”

"That's also about Yeshu. Emperor Zhaoning smiled, "This prince, if he can sit still, let him be the one, if he can't shake the East Palace, then he will be replaced." ”

"Yes. Feng Yi didn't dare to say more.

"Your Majesty, the feast is ready. The echo of the eunuch came from outside.

"Okay, change my clothes and go to the Taiji Palace. Emperor Zhaoning stood up and said.
