Things have developed to this point, it should be over, Xiao Zhang has gone through a test, and finally passed the test without danger. The prince originally came to attack Xiao Zhang, but he was inexplicably irritable and attacked, and almost capsized, although in the end there was no danger, but it has to be said that he was extremely unlucky.

For Huang Guozhong, today can be said to be an extremely rare opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, indeed, he originally had the opportunity to kill Xiao Zhang and the crown prince in one fell swoop, but it was also inexplicable, just because Xuanyuan decided to "talk nonsense" and a few understatements from the emperor, the cooked duck flew.

Huang Guozhong is unwilling!

Under the extreme imbalance of mentality, Huang Guozhong finally couldn't help but dare to speak: "Your Majesty, Xiao Zhang's matter has not been explained clearly, what did he do in the Demon Dao?"

The emperor's anger finally broke out, he stood up suddenly, and roared angrily: "Presumptuous! Huang Guozhong, you have tried to provoke trouble again and again today, what is your intention?"

Huang Guozhong was startled, immediately knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister is also worried that Xiao Zhang has bad intentions!"

"Shut up!" With this roar, the emperor's face became more and more pale, his body shook, and he almost fell, "Xiao Zhang is a court talent who I personally ordered, but you say that he has evil intentions, you are scolding me for having no eyes!"

"The old minister doesn't dare!" Huang Guozhong lay on the ground, and finally didn't dare to speak anymore.

"That's it for today. The Emperor said coldly, and strode out of the imperial study.

"Get up—" Eunuch Wei Zhong shouted, and hurriedly ran out.

Xiao Zhang looked at Huang Guozhong and the crown prince who were lying on the ground, sneered, and then picked up Lan Xiang and walked out, and when he passed by Xuanyuan Due's side, he also deliberately made an exaggerated angry expression.

Xuanyuan still smiled, bowed to Xiao Zhang and apologized, and then walked out with him.

As soon as he left the door of the imperial study, Ma Han, the president of the imperial court's secret guard, appeared out of thin air and blocked Xiao Zhang.

"Yo! Isn't this the Lord of the Secret Guard?" Xiao Zhang got acquainted with Ma Han in Yunzhou City, and thought that he had a good relationship with Ma Han, "I haven't seen you for many years, are you okay?"

If this sentence is asked to ordinary people, it is an expression of concern, and if it is asked about this unfathomable leader of the secret guard, it is a bit scolding.

Ma Han knew that Xiao Zhang was joking, and he was not angry, but his expression was very serious: "Your Majesty, Princess Lanxiang will go to Yangxin Palace to see me immediately." ”

Lan Xiang bowed slightly on Xiao Zhang's back and said, "Obey." ”

"Well, now that no one is bothered, it's time to talk about the royal family's own family affairs. Xiao Zhang said with a smile, and then he had to carry Lan Xiang to the Heart Palace.

However, Ma Han said: "Deputy Head Xiao, please stay, Your Majesty wants to see Princess Lanxiang." ”

Xiao Zhang smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Xiang'er is weak and inconvenient to walk, so I have to carry her on my back." ”

Ma Han smiled slightly and said, "Don't bother Deputy Head Xiao, this commander can serve the princess." ”

Xiao Zhang pursed his lips, and had to reluctantly hand Lan Xiang to Ma Han, and then said uneasily: "Be careful, Xiang'er is injured." ”

Ma Han bowed slightly and said, "Deputy Head Xiao can rest assured." After saying that, he carried Lanxiang on his back and disappeared on the spot.

Xiao Zhang sighed, shook his head, and suddenly remembered Xuanyuan on the side, so he pulled up Xuanyuan's sleeve and pulled him out of the palace.

Coming to a secluded corner, Xiao Zhang pointed at Xuanyuan's nose and scolded: "Okay, you sanctimonious scum, you almost killed me, do you know?"

Xuanyuan was very innocent: "When are you going to kill Brother Xiao?"

"You don't talk to me and talk to people. Xiao Zhang was full of anger, "Let me ask you, why did you tell me about going to the Demon Dao? and say it in front of the emperor, do you want my life?"

Xuanyuan is still very innocent: "In the next ...... Didn't I explain it all in the end? Your Majesty didn't condemn you. ”

Xiao Zhang put down his hand and said, "Fortunately, you justified yourself, otherwise I wouldn't be able to tell if I jumped into the Yellow River." ”

Xuanyuan was stunned and asked, "Which river is the Yellow River?"

Xiao Zhang didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said, "Actually, you had the opportunity to pull the prince off the horse, but you helped him in the end, why?"

Xuanyuan Du sighed and said, "Actually, I came here today to coordinate the situation, in your words, it is 'peace with the mud', and try to maintain the balance of power between the three parties. ”

"What are you doing with the mud? and the balance of power between the three parties, cut!" Xiao Zhang suddenly became angry, "Isn't it good to pull the prince off the horse? Do you really want to serve the prince?"

Xuanyuan decided: "Can't you see it? Your Majesty's health is very bad, once the three forces are out of balance, it is very likely to cause a monopoly and thus threaten Your Majesty's authority." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Zhang suddenly quieted down, what Xuanyuan said was very reasonable, but he was a little dull because he wanted to get rid of the prince and his brain was congested.

So, in order to alleviate the embarrassment, he quickly changed the subject and asked, "Why is your folding fan missing?"

Xuanyuan said truthfully: "I entrusted it to Princess Lanxiang for safekeeping." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Zhang almost blew up again, he grabbed Xuanyuan by the collar, and asked viciously: "What do you mean? Xiang'er is my woman, why did you give her something? What the hell do you have in mind?"

Xuanyuan was even more innocent, and said with a bitter smile: "How dare I have a ghost idea? Brother Xiao misunderstood, misunderstood. ”

"If you can't say one, two, three today, this matter is not over!" Xiao Zhang grabbed Xuanyuan's collar and didn't let go.

Xuanyuan sighed and said: "The bright country folding fan was given by Mr. Zhuge many years ago, I regarded it as my life, and never left my body, until one day, Mr. Zhuge sent someone to remind me that I should give the folding fan to Princess Lanxiang." ”

"It's as simple as that?"

"It's as simple as that. ”

"Well, forgive me. Leaving this sentence, Xiao Zhang turned around and was about to walk away.

Xuanyuan decided but said, "Brother Xiao go slowly!" As he spoke, he took out something and handed it to Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang took it and saw that it was a very small bird cage, only the size of a palm, square, straight edges and right angles, and it looked very cute.

"I don't keep birds, what are you giving me a bird cage for?"

Xuanyuan smiled bitterly: "This is not a bird cage, this is a heavenly prison!"

"Heavenly prison?" Xiao Zhang asked, "is it the heavenly prison where the imperial court prisoners are imprisoned?"

Xuanyuan nodded and said, "Not bad." This is a condensed version of the Heavenly Prison, which His Majesty entrusted me to give you, and it can also be said to be the key to the Heavenly Prison, but it is only one of them, and the other is in the hands of Huang Guozong. As long as Brother Xiao memorizes a mantra, he can control the Heavenly Prison through this object. ”

Xiao Zhang was taken aback: "You mean, Your Majesty asked me to control the Heavenly Prison?"

Xuanyuan Jue shook his head: "Your Majesty's thoughts, I don't dare to speculate, Brother Xiao should do it himself." ”
