Lin Xiuyuan sighed and said, "I just got the emperor's edict, but it's not very good news." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Xue Zhao broke free from his arms and asked, "What's wrong?" Did the emperor turn a deaf ear to the matter of Prince Fu's friendship with the rebellious party? ”

Lin Xiuyuan shook his head, stroked her cheek with his slender fingers and said, "It's not that it fell on deaf ears, but because the epidemic began to rage recently, King Rui of Xicheng wrote an excerpt to explain the matter to the emperor, and pointed out that the source of the epidemic was in Luo'an City, so the emperor issued an urgent edict and ordered the Nangong Mansion to immediately convene the famous doctors in the city to develop a prescription for remedying the epidemic and control the epidemic." ”

Xue Zhao listened and pondered for a moment, and asked, "Controlling the epidemic is indeed a top priority, but I don't know if the emperor has seen the twist and turn in the Nangong Mansion?" Didn't he even mention it? ”

Lin Xiuyuan replied, "He saw it, but he said in the edict that controlling the epidemic is the top priority now, and the epidemic is spreading at this moment, if he uses swords and soldiers at this time, I am afraid it will cause panic among the people." ”

Xue Zhao asked, "The emperor ostensibly means to let Nangong Mansion solve the problem of the spread of the epidemic first, but isn't there some deep meaning in it?" ”

"You're right, the emperor actually knows that Nangong Mansion and Fu Wangye have always been the two hostile forces in Luo'an City, but this time he didn't rashly agree to use force against Fu Wangye, I'm afraid there is also some intention to blackmail Nangong Mansion. If Nangong Mansion fails to control the epidemic this time, the emperor may not immediately issue an order against Prince Fu. Lin Xiuyuan immediately understood what Xue Zhao meant.

"But the emperor knows what Prince Fu is doing in Luo'an City, why does he continue to indulge him?" Xue Zhao asked a little puzzled.

Lin Xiuyuan continued to patiently explain to her, "Today's Shengshang is the smartest generation of kings, he will not kill Prince Fu because of these behaviors, but take advantage of the tension between him and Nangong Mansion to let Prince Fu and Nangong Mansion contain each other, only in this way can his country be balanced and his throne can be secured." If one side suddenly collapses, the strong rise of the other side will only be detrimental to him. ”

"Therefore, what the emperor has to do is to check and balance, check and balance the forces of the two sides, and at the same time use it for his own use. But if there is a big deviation in one party's forces, just like Fu Wangye, colluding with the chaotic party, and dissenting intentions have appeared, the emperor will still take action to solve him sooner or later. ”

Xue Zhao pondered his words, looked at Lin Xiuyuan and asked, "Then what we have to do now is to assist Nangong Mansion in developing a prescription to control the epidemic, right?" ”

"Yes, Zhao'er is very smart." Lin Xiuyuan stroked the hair around her ear and said softly, "If you want to stay here, I will sneak in every night to protect you, but I won't come in, so as not to cause trouble for you." All you have to do is know that I'm near you every day. What happened tonight, I will never allow it to happen again. ”

Xue Zhao nodded lightly, stepped forward and leaned on Lin Xiuyuan's chest, and said, "Xiuyuan, I am waiting for the day when you control the epidemic in the city, save the people from fire and water, and bring down Lord Fu and me and Fengweiqi." ”

"Zhao'er, you yourself are in the palace, you must protect yourself, act cautiously, don't risk your life alone, you have to discuss with me if you encounter something, do you hear?" Lin Xiuyuan's tone was full of concern and distress, he was afraid that she would sacrifice her life for others again, and not let him fight for her in front.

Xue Zhao stretched out his arms and wrapped his waist tightly, rested his head on his chest, felt extremely relieved, and said, "Xiuyuan, I know, the two of us work together, and we can break the gold." ”

Lin Xiuyuan watched Xue Zhao sleep peacefully before leaving the house, and when it was almost four watches, he left the palace. It was dark, and if he didn't leave, he would easily be spotted by the soldiers patrolling the palace.

Last night was quite turbulent, and the next day during the day was finally fine.

In the evening, when Xue Zhao was about to pack up and rest, suddenly someone sent an order, saying that Fu Wang Ye was urgently summoned, and Xue Zhao was ordered to take Feng Weiqi to Fu Wang Ye as soon as possible.

Xue Zhao had some doubts in her heart, but she couldn't help but obey, so she had to come as ordered.

When she arrived at the courtyard where Fu Wang Ye lived, the next person led her to the main hall, and asked her to sit and wait for a while, and the prince came soon.

After a while, Xue Zhao heard the sound of footsteps, and Fu Wang Ye walked in leisurely wearing homely clothes and playing with two delicate nuclear carvings in his hands.

Seeing Xue Zhao sitting there, he chuckled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and when he saw that Xue Zhao was about to get up and salute, he immediately waved his hand at her and said, "No need to be polite." ”

Prince Fu sat down on a chair not far from Xuezhao, looked at her idly and said, "Miss Yu, the misconduct of the people in this palace last night frightened you, are you okay now?" ”

Xue Zhao shook his head and said, "The prince doesn't have to care, Xue Zhao is not a timid person, even if Xue Zhao did not clear up his grievances yesterday, the truth will always be revealed to the world one day." ”

Fu Wang Ye listened to her words, nodded with a smile, and said, "The sky is clear tonight, and this king is not sleepy, so I ask Miss Yu to play the piano for this king for a while to dispel the boredom in my heart?" ”

Xue Zhao listened and asked quietly, "Dare to ask the prince what worries him?" ”

"Miss Yu really wants to hear it?" Fu Wang Ye leaned forward with an unpredictable smile on his face.

"If the prince wants to say, Xue Zhao will listen to him, only when he knows where the prince's heart is, can he know what kind of music to play for the prince at this time."

Lord Fu stared at her for a while, turned his eyes away, and asked, "Miss Yu is the niece of Nangong Ren, the prince of Nangong Mansion, right?" ”

Xue Zhao immediately felt a little vigilant in her heart, but her face was as usual, and she replied, "Back to the prince, yes." ”

"Since the relationship is so close, Miss Yu should understand that the relationship between Nangong Mansion and this king has always been tense, and Miss Yu looks so delicate that a woman who comes to this king's mansion alone, is really brave!" Fu Wang Ye continued with a deep meaning in his words.

Hearing him suddenly ask such a question, Xue Zhao couldn't help but be shocked in her heart, and said with a calm face, "Xue Zhao has nothing to fear, I only came voluntarily because I have a deep friendship with the eldest lady, know her temper, and worry about her condition, and it has nothing to do with Nangong Mansion." ”

Hearing her say this, Prince Fu smiled meaningfully, "Then has Miss Yu ever thought that if one day, Nangong Mansion and this king are like fire and water, to the point of life and death, how should Miss Yu protect herself?" ”

Xue Zhao raised his head to meet the gaze of Fu Wangye, and said with a smile, "Since ancient times, those who know the times are Junjie, Xue Zhao lost his parents when he was young, and lived a frightened life all day long, Xue Zhao's wish for the second half of his life is to seek stability. ”
