Behind him, I saw a man in brocade clothes squinting his eyes, looking her up and down, and his ill-intentioned look looked like the kind of stubborn child who relied on his identity to do mischief. Lin Xiaoyou was surprised, frowned and quickly took a few steps back, widening the distance between the two.

"Yes, yes, it's exactly the type that this son likes." When he saw Lin Xiaoyu's face clearly, the man couldn't help but exclaim, and his blatant hue showed a satisfied glow.

"Really? But Childe is not my type" She has always kept a low profile, and she doesn't know much about the interpersonal relationships between the court and China. Lin Xiaoyou smiled disdainfully, turned around and wanted to leave. If this was a ploy devised by someone else, if it spread and made up some rumors that she had a private meeting with a man at night, her reputation would be ruined.

"Hey, miss, don't be in a hurry to leave." The man stepped forward and grabbed Lin Xiaoyu's wrist, and said with a smile: "With such a beautiful scenery, it is inevitable to be lonely when you visit the palace alone, so it is better to accompany this son, isn't it beautiful." ”

"Let go, if you don't let go, I'm calling someone." Lin Xiaoyou's hand ached, and he scolded unhappily.

The man smiled excitedly, reached out provocatively to hook Lin Xiaoyu's chin, stroked her delicate and smooth skin, and said, "Miss shout, except for this son, you see who else will take care of you." ”

"Take your paws away." Lin Xiaoyou turned his head in disgust and dodged the dirty hand. Reached out and plucked the hairpin on his head, and stabbed it hard.

"Hiss......" gasped, a trace of pain came from his arm, the man shook off Lin Xiaoyou, and roared: "Slut, this son can afford you, that's your blessing, dare to do something to this son, live impatiently, do you know who I am?" ”

"Brother, what time is it, you called this palace to see this?" As soon as his words fell, he was interrupted by a shrill female voice. Not far away, a woman in a palace dress with a luxurious dress and a palace maid hurriedly came over, looking at the man in pain full of worry.

The man looked up inexplicably and asked, "What?" Didn't you say that you had something to discuss, so you sent someone to report that I would come here and wait for you? As soon as I arrived, I ran into this slut who didn't know what to do and stabbed me with a hairpin. As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and asked her to check the place where Lin Xiaoyu was stabbed just now.

"This palace didn't look for you." The suspicious gaze swept over the mark of the small blood beads on his hand, his gentle expression suddenly tightened, he turned his head and glanced at Lin Xiaoyou, and said indifferently: "Which young lady is this, why haven't you seen it in this palace?" The cold tone was hostile.

claims to be the main palace, it must be Yixuan's brother's concubine, but I don't know what position. This man is her younger brother, no wonder he is so bold. From the conversation between the two, Lin Xiaoyou already knew the identity of the person who came. It seems that they are not the ones who calculate her, but they are also in the calculations of others like her.

So, who is behind the calculations against her? Is it the Wu family, or someone from the Yin family, or someone who likes Xiahou Yichen?

"Bold, when you see our Concubine Rong, you still don't salute?" The maid who followed behind the woman in the palace costume saw that Lin Xiaoyou was stunned and didn't reply, so she immediately reminded loudly.

Concubine Rong? Lin Xiaoyou's slightly drooping eyes lifted slightly, and he came back to his senses from his contemplation. The rules in the palace are more, and it is better to enter the palace less if there is nothing in the future, this is a prison cell that eats people and does not spit out bones, and it is full of beasts that bite each other. Lin Xiaoyou thought in his heart, leaned over and said, "Xiaoyou has seen Concubine Rong. ”

"Who is Xiaoyu?" Concubine Rong only felt that the name was a little familiar, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

"Sister, you don't care who she is, help me arrest her and send her back to the house, and when the banquet is over, I will go back and teach her a good lesson." With Concubine Rong's protection, the man glared at Lin Xiaoyou, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he looked determined to win.

"Nonsense!" Concubine Rong complained dissatisfiedly, and in her soft voice was her sister's doting affection for her younger brother. Then he said coldly to Lin Xiaoyou: "Dare to hurt my brother, with a beautiful face, you know how to seduce people, come to someone, and scratch her face in this palace, so as not to cause trouble in the future." ”

Listening to the master's order, a grandmother behind her pulled out a hairpin and was about to step forward.

is so vicious that he wants to disfigure himself as soon as he comes up. The purpose of standing up for her brother is fake, eighty percent doesn't know her identity, and she is afraid that she will go with her to avoid Yixuan's brother's favor, so as to prevent trouble before it happens. Lin Xiaoyou evoked a sneer and scolded loudly: "You dare." ”

If you can enter the palace, you must be people with status, and when she scolded her like this, that evil grandmother was really bluffed. Stopped, looked back at Concubine Rong timidly, and hesitantly asked for her opinion.

"Sister, don't, just leave her to me." The man hurriedly said, it was a pity that such a delicate face was ruined. He kept it for a good appreciation, and it wasn't too late to destroy it when he got tired of it.

Concubine Rong glared at him angrily, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. He glanced sideways at the rest of the palace maids who followed behind him, and said sharply: "What are you still doing in a daze, step forward and restrain that girl to the palace." A little girl, this palace can't clean you up today. ”

"Wait." Before those people could make a move, Lin Xiaoyou spoke first: "Dare to ask Concubine Rong, this son offended Xiaoyou in front, what is wrong with Xiaoyou's legitimate defense?" Is it fair that just because he is your younger brother, Concubine Rong Niangniang will put the blame on Xiaoyu without asking? ”

"Bold." Listening to Lin Xiaoyu's mocking questioning, Concubine Rong was so angry that her face turned red. Their Xu family has been loyal to the famous generals for generations, her father is a general with great achievements, she is the emperor's favorite concubine, and now she is still in charge of things in the palace on behalf of the queen. Such a favored identity, in addition to the queen mother and the emperor in the palace, who sees her does not flatter.

Now, Lin Xiaoyou questioned her disobediently in front of all the maids and grandmothers, making it clear that she didn't take her seriously. If this spreads, those who secretly watch her jokes will not take the opportunity to fall into the ground, and in the future in the palace, how can she hold up her head to punish others. The more Concubine Rong thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't care about her appearance and demeanor for a while, so she stepped forward and slapped Lin Xiaoyou. "Cheap girl, talk to this palace about fairness, you are not qualified enough."

Lin Xiaoyou quietly looked at the flying slap, it was not her who was making trouble, so she didn't plan to dodge it, but not dodging didn't mean that she had to accept it. Getting lost has wasted a lot of her time, and if she can't find the direction to go back, Xiahou Yichen will definitely be in a hurry. Anyway, she had already angered Concubine Rong, and if she hid from this, maybe she would be even more endlessly pestering her.

Keeping his eyes on Concubine Rong's waving hand, Lin Xiaoyou was about to raise his hand to block it, only to see a red figure flash in front of him, and Concubine Rong's slap was tightly clasped by a slender and white hand and stopped in mid-air. The bony hands were now full of green tendons, and the white joints revealed the anger of the person. "When will it be the turn of this king's princess, Concubine Rong, to teach you a lesson?" The lazy voice, unconsciously with a chill that makes people feel terrible, Xiahou Yichen's demonic expression appeared in the eyes of everyone. As he spoke, without waiting for everyone to react, he waved his hand and "snapped" two crisp and loud slaps, which were thrown on Concubine Rong's face in public.

His movements were clean and neat, and when things happened suddenly, Concubine Rong didn't expect that she didn't even have time to scream, and the whole person was immediately knocked to the ground. "Poof" A mouthful of blood suddenly sprayed on the ground.

Everyone was stunned to see Concubine Rong who was overturned to the ground, her cheeks were red and swollen, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. As long as it is a person in the palace, everyone knows how arrogant and wanton this man's personality is, unruly, and never takes rules and etiquette into account. Now even the emperor's favorite Concubine Rong dares to fight, not to mention the palace maids who are accompanying them.

"Sister." The man who had been looking for trouble with Lin Xiaoyou before was the first to react, and hurriedly went over to help Concubine Rong on the ground up. Concubine Rong covered her red and swollen cheeks, her eyes were dilated, and the blood spilling from the corners of her mouth made it clear at a glance how much strength Xiahou Yichen had used.

Xiahou Yichen, how did he find it? Looking at Xiahou Yichen, who was standing next to him like no one, Lin Xiaoyou was stunned at first, and then smiled happily, thinking: I can finally get out of this ghost place.

"I shouldn't have come to you if I knew you were so funny." Xiahou Yichen said insincerely. Obviously, he sent someone to meet him at the gate of the palace, but the person who sent him came back and said that the princess had been picked up. He knew better than anyone what kind of place the palace was, and he was worried that something would happen to Lin Xiaoyou, so he asked the imperial brother to send a lot of secret guards to investigate in the palace, and finally got the news, and hurried over to find her.

"Your Majesty, you have to be the master of your concubines." Yu Guang suddenly caught Xiahou Yixuan, who was standing not far away, Concubine Rong rushed over and knelt on the ground like seeing a life-saving straw, crying and pleading, with no image at all. I used too much force for a while, and I pulled her face for a while. She is the emperor's favorite concubine, and Xiahou Yichen is only a prince when she is powerful, why should she lose face by beating her. After all, she is still his imperial sister-in-law, and hitting her is equivalent to slapping the emperor's face, and the following offense will be committed.

Oh no, Lin Xiaoyu secretly shouted that it was not good, this disaster can be a big disaster. Xiahou Yichen slapped Brother Yixuan's favorite concubine in public, isn't it equivalent to slapping Brother Yixuan's face? What if they fall out? Lin Xiaoyou was faintly worried.

"Hmph" Xiahou Yichen snorted, took Lin Xiaoyu's hand directly, and said indifferently: "It's just a concubine, if you fight, let's go." ”

If you fight, you will fight, and it depends on who is fighting. Such a relaxed sentence, I really don't know how Xiahou Yichen said it. Lin Xiaoyou was speechless and was pulled away by Xiahou Yichen, and could only turn around and smile apologetically to Xiahou Yixuan.

Xiahou Yixuan didn't seem to notice that there was a wolf on the ground kneeling on the ground, and he also smiled back at Lin Xiaoyu.

"King Chen and Princess Chen are so lovingly matched, I really envy others." Ye Ruyan, who came behind, slowly walked to Xiahou Yixuan's side, looking at the two who left hand in hand, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. She was dressed in blue, and the green silk was tied into a delicate bun, which was noble and extraordinary.

"That's nature." The faint tone was calm as usual, and Xiahou Yixuan smiled slightly, "Rong'er, it is inevitable that the weather will be hot and hot, so you can move to the cold palace by yourself." As he spoke, he didn't look at Concubine Rong on the ground, and threw down the person who knelt on the ground and walked away.

"The emperor, the emperor is gracious, the concubines know their mistakes, and the concubines don't dare anymore." Concubine Rong sat down on the ground all of a sudden, ignoring the pain on her face, and hissed and begged for mercy.

Ye Ruyan's eyes flashed unnaturally, and he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Presumably, the prince should not be a heart, and the emperor's heart makes Ruyan very admired." A sentence that seems to be an ordinary compliment subtly hints that Xiahou Yichen has a heart of disobedience, and he is weak and can be bullied.

Xiahou Yixuan is not an ordinary person, how can he not hear the mystery in her words. wants to take the opportunity to provoke the relationship between them, and the wishful thinking is a good one. "If Yichen is willing, I really want to let go, whether he sits on the throne of our Dragon Shadow Kingdom or I sit, it is surnamed Xiahou. But if it's the fifth princess, your heavenly kingdom has changed hands..."Xiahou Yixuan said and paused, turned his head to look at Ye Ruyan and smiled softly: "I'm afraid, it won't be surnamed Ye." ”

The warm voice did not carry the slightest anger, but resolutely fought back against the provocation of the night. Looking at the deep black eyes full of smiles, Ye Ruyan's face turned white, and she barely managed to squeeze out a smile that even she felt stiff.

For the first time, she deeply felt the strength and wisdom of the man in front of her. She had always thought that if the Dragon Shadow Kingdom did not have Xiahou Yichen's existence, it would not be as prosperous and strong as it is now, and it would be unbreakable. It turned out that she was wrong, not only wrong, but outrageously wrong. Dragon Shadow Country, not only Xiahou Yichen, but also Xiahou Yixuan. He is different from Xiahou Yichen's flamboyance and wantonness, and under the gentle appearance of Mu like a spring breeze, he is a restrained edge, which always makes people inadvertently ignore his danger.

"The emperor forgives his sins, like smoke and lost his words." Growing up in the complex environment of the palace, she has long been not a little girl who does not know the world. At this moment, Xiahou Yixuan was countered by the army, and immediately humbly put down her posture and confessed her mistakes.

"The princess is so smart." Xiahou Yixuan praised with a smile. Ye Ruyan didn't bow her head but grabbed the handle for him, but now that she took the initiative to admit her mistakes, it was another matter, and she could only admit that she was an unintentional mistake in blame.

"The emperor is too modest." The night was like smoke and smiled, and finally regained her original noble elegance. "Ruyan, if there is a good brother like you, then I will be content."

Xiahou Yixuan's steps forward, "Princess, don't beat her idea, there are some people who you can't move." The warm voice exuded a firmness, and secretly warned.

Ye Ruyan was stunned for a moment, and the corners of her mouth pulled out a smile full of meaning, "Princess Chen is really blessed, there are so many people to protect her." It's just that Ruyan doesn't understand that the emperor did not hesitate to send his favorite concubine into the cold palace, is this for the prince, or for the princess? You, is it worth it? ”

"She is not only Princess Chen, but also my sister, my people, and I have the responsibility to protect her. Whether it's worth it or not, it's not something you can understand, princess. The resolute tone was undoubtedly domineering, such a Xiahou Yixuan made people feel awe. What he did was worthy of heaven and earth, so no matter what others thought or looked, he didn't need to explain.

Lin Xiaoyou was dragged by Xiahou Yichen and walked around, and he couldn't tell the direction of the southeast and northwest for a long time, and seeing that there were only the two of them around at this moment, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Xiahou Yichen, how did you find there?"

Hearing her question, Xiahou Yichen's solemn expression soothed a little, and he chuckled sideways: "Guess." "This is where he grew up, although the palace is very large, but what is good and what is not good in it, he knows it clearly. Finding someone like this naturally starts from the darkest and most remote place.

"Whom do you not believe?" Lin Xiaoyou followed behind and glared at him angrily, and asked, "Then you say, who is trying to harm me?" ”

Obviously, he just said that he wanted to protect her not long ago, but it immediately put her in danger, so it's no wonder that there is such worry. Xiahou Yichen suddenly stopped his steps and turned around, Lin Xiaoyou was thinking about what had just happened, and he crashed into his arms without noticing for a while. felt that her waist was tight, and Xiahou Yichen's slender hand hugged her as soon as she closed it.

The gentle shallow breath blew in her ears, Lin Xiaoyou's face turned red, and she reached out in embarrassment to push him away, "Oh, why don't you stop." ”

Xiahou Yichen took a step back and stretched out his hand to straighten out the messy green silk hanging on her shoulder, "I said that I would protect you, so that no one would hurt you in the slightest, Xiaoyu, do you believe me?" ”

The low voice was firm and serious, and under the moonlight, Xiahou Yichen's slender figure lingered with a faint layer of brilliance, noble and dazzling. Bright eyes, the flow of light reflects thousands of graces. Lin Xiaoyu seemed to have a warm current flowing slowly in his heart, and he was a little distracted for a while.

Unable to wait for her answer for a long time, Xiahou Yichen shook his head with a wry smile, turned around and was just about to leave, Lin Xiaoyou's heart tightened, and the ghost envoy reached out to grab his sleeve, and when Xiahou Yichen turned around, he raised a big smile, "I believe it." ”

Xiahou Yichen took her slightly cool little hand, and the face that was disappointed just now rippled with a little smile and pity, brilliant and charming. The temperature of his body was transmitted through the palm of his hand, Lin Xiaoyou smiled, not struggling, and let him lead him out.
