Chapter 200: Discuss countermeasures with the prince
Xiao Wenxuan also felt funny about his gaffe, "It's okay, the prince is now accompanying the minister in the imperial study, and we will be in the past for a while." ”
Liu Ruoxi smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”
"Let's go to my study and wait a while. After Xiao Wenxuan finished speaking, he made a gesture of please.
Liu Ruoxi smiled faintly and walked forward.
Xiao Wenxuan waved his hand towards Ruofeng and chased after Liu Ruoxi.
Xiao Wenxuan's study is similar to the study of Dingguo Mansion before, but the table is made of fine sandalwood, and there is an extra couch for people to rest.
Liu Ruoxi looked at it and quipped: "It seems that your second prince still maintains his previous habits, and the furnishings in the study are not very different from before."
When Xiao Wenxuan heard the second prince, his face changed, and he dragged Liu Ruoxi directly into his arms.
Liu Ruoxi was startled and struggled, "What are you going to do, aren't you afraid that someone will come in?"
Xiao Wenxuan snorted coldly, "What am I afraid of? Even if I am seen by others, I can't hug the woman I like?"
After hearing this, Liu Ruoxi said angrily: "Who is your woman? It is not certain whether I want to marry you or not." ”
Xiao Wenxuan was anxious when he heard this, straightened Liu Ruoxi, and said coldly: "What do you mean? If you don't marry me, who do you want to marry? Is it the crown prince? or Qi Chen?"
Liu Ruoxi sneered and pushed Xiao Wenxuan away, "It's my business who I want to marry, it has nothing to do with you, don't you still have your sister-in-law? ”
Xiao Wenxuan laughed helplessly, walked forward and pulled Liu Ruoxi into his arms again, "You're still jealous! I went to save her that day for a reason, and I also saw my eldest brother go to save you, so I went to save her after being relieved, don't be angry, okay?"
Liu Ruoxi didn't push Xiao Wenxuan away this time, lowered her eyelids and said: "I'm really angry about what happened last time, but what I'm really worried about is that we don't have a future, and I don't want to be a burden to you, I don't want to enter the palace and I don't want to share you with others, my heart is very messy." ”
Xiao Wenxuan asked Liu Ruoxi to look at him, and said with a serious face: "I said before that you are the most important thing in my heart, if it weren't for my mother, I wouldn't have entered the palace, I wouldn't have recognized him, and I didn't want to be in that position, why don't you believe me?"
Liu Ruoxi looked at Xiao Wenxuan with teary eyes, he knew how much he valued himself in his previous life, but he always couldn't bear to see him embark on the road of his life.
"Second brother, have you really thought about it? Don't you care about that position at all? I just don't want you to regret it for me now. ”
Xiao Wenxuan saw that Liu Ruoxi's attitude was no longer cold, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and nodded Liu Ruoxi's head. "You, you're not me, how do you know that I don't really want to give up that position, your second brother doesn't like life in the palace, I like to be with you freely. ”
Liu Ruoxi felt that her heart, which had been closed for so long, cracked, and smiled, "It's good to have you." ”
Xiao Wenxuan hugged Liu Ruoxi tightly in his arms, "Then you can't push me out in the future, no matter what." ”
Liu Ruoxi nodded, Liu Ruoxi also figured it out this time, it takes courage to love one, and it takes more to believe in each other.
Liu Ruoxi suddenly thought that Xiao Wenxuan said that there was a reason for saving Zhao Ningxin, so she raised her head and asked, "Second brother, you said that you saved Zhao Ningxin for a reason, why in the end?"
Xiao Wenxuan pulled Liu Ruoxi to sit on the couch, sighed, and said, "I found that my mother's poisoning this time is very strange and I suspect that it has something to do with her." ”
Liu Ruoxi looked at Xiao Wenxuan in shock.
Xiao Wenxuan took Liu Ruoxi's hand and smiled, "Don't you feel shocked, when the master told me, I was like this, and I don't want to believe that this has something to do with her, after all, my mother is so good to her, and she is kind enough to take her in, I don't know why she did this?"
Liu Ruoxi clenched Xiao Wenxuan's hand distressedly, and said worriedly, "Second brother." ”
"I'm fine, I just don't know if my mother won't be able to accept it when she finds out. ”
Liu Ruoxi thought of something and became nervous, "Second brother, Zhao Ningxin is still in Shangguan Mansion, so will she be unfavorable to Shangguan and his wife?"
"It's okay, I've already told my grandfather that he will pay attention to her and won't let her do anything harmful to the government. ”
Liu Ruoxi was relieved, in his previous life, he only knew that Zhao Ningxin was married to Qi Chen, but he didn't expect such a thing, it seems that no matter how people change, they can't change their personalities.
Ruofeng walked in, bowed his hand and said, "Master, the prince's side has been dispersed, and now you can go over." ”
Xiao Wenxuan pulled Liu Ruoxi up, "Let's go over." ”
"Hmm. ”
The two men held hands and walked out.
Xiao Lingtian has been busy since Xiao Lingshan left, and today there is a song that says that the grain and grass in the Liangcheng camp have been burned, Xiao Lingtian thought for a long time before thinking that Liangcheng seems to be guarded by Liu Ruoxi's father, Liu Zhijun.
When Xiao Lingtian was still wondering whether to inform Xiao Lingshan of this, someone reported that Xiao Wenxuan and Liu Ruoxi asked to see him.
Xiao Lingtian raised his eyebrows, it was too timely for them to come, as soon as Prince Ben received the news, they came, Xiao Lingtian raised his hand, "Let them in." ”
Xiao Wenxuan and Liu Ruoxi walked in hand in hand.
"The royal brother and courtiers see the crown prince. ”
Xiao Lingtian waved his hand, "Get up, I don't know why the imperial brother and Miss Liu came together?"
Xiao Wenxuan arched his hand and said: "Today is for the burning of grain and grass in Liangcheng. ”
Xiao Lingtian frowned, and said tentatively: "It seems that the third brother knows a lot about the affairs of Liangcheng, and you will know about it as soon as the prince gets the news." ”
Liu Ruoxi saw that Xiao Lingtian seemed to have misunderstood something, and hurriedly explained: "Prince, you misunderstood, it was the courtiers who told the second prince." ”
Xiao Lingtian laughed, "Miss Liu doesn't have to be nervous, this prince doesn't mean anything else." ”
Xiao Wenxuan looked at the prince calmly, thought of something, and his face sank, "Prince, you said that you knew about Liangcheng today?" But the people sent by Liu Zhijun are with us, and the news has not been revealed, how did you know?"
When Xiao Lingtian heard this, his expression also changed, "What do you mean, someone knew about the burning of grain and grass in Liangcheng in advance?"
Xiao Wenxuan nodded, "The reason why we came to you is to suspect that there are spies in the military camp, I don't know who told the prince about the grain and grass in Liangcheng?"
Xiao Lingtian glanced at Liu Ruoxi and said, "It's Liu Baiming, he said that he got the news that the grain and grass in Liangcheng were burned, and the Crescent Kingdom intended to provoke a war in our northern Xinbei." ”
Liu Ruoxi sighed in his heart and took a step back, it was one thing to suspect his eldest uncle before, but it was another thing to hear it with his own ears, Liu Ruoxi never thought that it was really Liu Baiming who did such a thing.
Xiao Wenxuan hurriedly supported Liu Ruoxi and said worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Liu Ruoxi shook his head bitterly, "Second brother, it seems that the eldest uncle has made a choice?"
Xiao Lingtian looked at Xiao Wenxuan and Liu Ruoxi suspiciously, "Did you all know before?"
"Prince, we suspected that the grain and grass matter was arranged by our Xinbei people, but we didn't know who it was, so we thought of telling you the news secretly, so as not to startle the grass and snakes, but we didn't expect them to jump out impatiently. ”
Xiao Lingtian sneered, "He Liu Baiming is bold enough. ”
Liu Ruoxi hurriedly knelt down and said: "Prince, this matter can't be his own, there must be someone behind him, otherwise he wouldn't have such a big force to sneak into the military camp and destroy the grain and grass." ”
Xiao Lingtian also thought of this, no matter how bold Liu Baiming is, if there is no one behind him, it is impossible for him to do this, and it is completely unfavorable to him.
Xiao Lingtian looked at Xiao Wenxuan, Xiao Wenxuan looked at Liu Ruoxi with a worried expression, Xiao Lingtian had already seen that Xiao Wenxuan's feelings for Liu Ruoxi were not ordinary, and he had no reason to harm the government by doing this, who was it?
Xiao Wenxuan pulled Liu Ruoxi up and said to the prince: "My brother found that the third prince seems to be very close to Liu Baiming during this time, and every time they meet secretly, and Liu Zhuoxuan is also working under the third prince. ”
Xiao Lingtian actually forgot him for a while, after Xiao Wenxuan reminded Xiao Lingtian, he remembered that his third brother seemed to have been dissatisfied with Xiao Wenxuan, could it be that he wanted to destroy the Dingguo Mansion in order to take revenge on Xiao Wenxuan? But why did Liu Baiming do this?
"You say this, he is indeed suspicious, but why did Liu Bai do this? Ruining Liu Zhijun doesn't do him any good!"
Xiao Wenxuan sneered, "If the Third Prince promised him greater benefits, I think he would do it." ”
Xiao Lingtian clenched his fists, it seems that this third brother has wanted to do this for more than a day or two.
"So what do you want to do?"
When Xiao Wenxuan heard this, the corners of his mouth rose, "Then in addition to telling Prince Liangcheng that something happened today, did he say anything else?"
Xiao Lingtian thought for a while and nodded, "He said that the people of the Crescent Moon Country were eager to move, and they would sneak attack from time to time to see when the imperial court would transport grain over. ”
Xiao Wenxuan frowned, "I think they want to pay attention to this batch of grain and grass, and now I suspect that the sneak attack of the Crescent Moon Kingdom is fake, they want to borrow someone else's hand to get rid of Liu Zhijun." ”
Liu Ruoxi looked at Xiao Wenxuan in disbelief, "No, my father is his own brother, he won't do this." ”
Xiao Wenxuan knew that Liu Ruoxi would be very sad when he heard it, but now he had to know the details of the prince.
"As for why the prince said he did this, I think it was because Liu Zhijun was in his way, General Liu has always been loyal to the emperor, and he has an army of 100,000 in his hands, and it is not a little harmful to him. ”
Xiao Lingtian slapped the chair fiercely, his eyes became cold, "They want to rebel." ”
Xiao Wenxuan nodded, "Now I can't think of why they want to move General Liu except for this." ”
Xiao Lingtian sneered, "Then we also have to see if they have the ability." ”
Liu Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief, there was a second brother who at least Dingguo Mansion would not be like in his previous life, and he had long been disappointed in Liu Baiming and Liu Ruoxi.
Liu Ruoxi thought of his father and mother in Liangcheng, and said worriedly: "If they do this, will their father and mother be in danger?" ”
Xiao Wenxuan and Xiao Lingtian glanced at each other, "Ruoxi, don't worry about this, the second brother will send someone to inform his father." ”
Liu Ruoxi nodded, "Thank you, second brother." ”
"Then should we inform my father here? ”
