Dongfang Xu had a cold face, and Dongfang Rui also let go of his hand, with a provocative smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was a tense atmosphere between the two.

Xiyue immediately leaned towards Dongfang Xu, "Your Highness, this thief is lighter than me, and the concubine is not ......"

Without waiting for her to finish, the tall strange man actually strode straight towards Dongfang Xu, his arm raised high, Xiyue was startled, "Someone!" There are Assassins ......"

No, Dongfang Xu's originally cold face actually opened a smile, and the two actually raised their arms and hugged each other tacitly, like brothers who hadn't seen each other for many years.

"When did you come back, you didn't order anyone to notify my brother!"

"The prince's wedding, I was going to give you a surprise!" Dongfang Rui lost his arrogance, and the two completely ignored the stunned woman, showing brotherhood between their gestures.

"Crown Princess Niangniang, it was His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who just came back from the country in the north." Some grandmothers hurriedly stepped forward to explain to Xiyue, she immediately recalled that she had just regarded Dongfang Rui as a thief who despised her, and when her face was hot, she was extremely embarrassed for a while.

It turned out that these two princes were not born by the queen, but he was taught by the queen since he was a child, and he had a deep relationship with the prince.

It's just that Dongfang Xu chose a southern country with a pleasant climate, while Dongfang Rui chose the north such as the desert, so his personality became more and more perverse.

"Brother Fang Cai is rude to the crown princess, the imperial brother shouldn't blame the younger brother, right?" Dongfang Rui smiled, there was no apology in his tone, and a pair of arms were placed on Dongfang Xu's shoulders.

The elegant man smiled slightly, his eyes fell on the other party's shoulder, "It's a lot taller, I only ...... a few years ago"

"Brother Chen is not the yellow-haired boy of the past, you must know that if it is wrestling, not even any of the tribes in the north is the opponent of Brother Chen!" Dongfang Rui straightened his chest boldly, "I heard that the crown princess is the princess of the Yi Kingdom?" ”

However, Dongfang Xu smiled lightly, as soon as he saw his expression, Dongfang Rui also understood a little, he seemed to remember something, his eyes flashed with expectation, "Brother Huang, who is that Master Yun, it is too bold to appear on the horse training field in disguise as a man, but I like such a woman, can the imperial brother let the younger brother meet her......"

Dongfang Xu's expression froze, and his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, "Have you seen her?" Moreover, he actually knew that Yun Shu was dressed as a woman, and it seemed that something had happened that he didn't know.

"When I passed through the horse training farm, I heard the movement inside, and when I went in, I didn't expect that there was such a person with superb equestrian skills, not inferior to those northern tribes that my brother had seen, and she was still a woman......"

Dongfang Xu stopped, which made Dongfang Rui notice the changes in him.

"Brother Huang, this matter should not be mentioned to anyone." Leaving such a sentence, Dongfang Xu actually left Dongfang Rui's sight with a deep expression.

How long has it been since I've seen a prince with this expression? Dongfang Rui thought about it a lot, it seems that the relationship between the imperial brother and the woman is not ordinary.

However, could it be that the royal brother thought that if he pretended to be angry, he would not ask any more questions? This is too much to underestimate yourself. Thinking of this, Dongfang Rui smiled faintly.

……

too in the womb.

Xiyue sat in front of the exquisite carved mirror, looking at her beautiful face, she was the only one left in the huge dormitory, and her heart was depressed.

The other end of the letter came again, so that he had to do his best to get it. People are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, even if she becomes the crown princess of Chen Kingdom, no matter what means she has, if she can't get the heart of the prince of Chen Kingdom, she can only be a pawn of Yi Kingdom.

That man...... Definitely not let yourself go lightly.

Suddenly, there was a cone-like cramping pain in his chest, which felt overwhelming, making Xiyue's eyes dark.

There was a sound in the dormitory, and Xinlan, who was guarding outside, was startled, and rushed in without caring about the order, "Crown princess?!" ”

She immediately closed the door in a panic, and Xiyue opened her eyes with difficulty, "Quick, the antidote ......"

At this moment, Xiyue fell to the ground, her limbs were so stiff that she couldn't move, Xinlan hurriedly took out a small packet of medicinal powder from her waist, and helped her take it with trembling hands.

Sweat slid down his fair forehead, and the cold breath slid down his throat and into his chest, and the pain immediately receded like a tide.

Xiyue took a deep breath, and her pale face improved slightly.

Damn it! The onset of this poison became more and more intense, and that person was clearly forcing himself! How can it be so easy to get it, there are eyeliner of the prince of Chenguo everywhere!

"Niangniang, are you better?" Xinlan was scared into a cold sweat.

Xiyue leaned on her body, looking at the little powder left, it was time to ask for the antidote again, but if she didn't make any progress, I was afraid that the person wouldn't send the antidote lightly.

"What about the prince?"

"The slave doesn't know." Xinlan frowned in embarrassment, in the entire palace, everyone was guarding against her, and it was too difficult to get the news from the palace people, "The slave always feels that there are people watching everywhere she goes, so she doesn't dare to act rashly." ”

At this time, the voice of the guards came from outside, "The crown princess, the prince has an order, and he will have a banquet for His Royal Highness the Second Prince tonight." ”

As soon as she thought of what happened in the Imperial Garden, Xiyue's mood became more and more gloomy, and suddenly, her eyes lit up.

The guards were just about to turn around, the door opened, the crown princess had a light smile on her face, he noticed Xia Xiyue's face, in fact, the scene of Xinlan rushing into the dormitory in a panic was seen by him, and His Royal Highness ordered to keep an eye on their actions, so he came to take a look.

"Bengu knows, by the way, you can take Bengu to a place later."

Xiyue's tone was unquestionable, and before the guard could react, she slammed the door shut.

The guards hesitated for a moment, since His Highness wanted to monitor them by himself, it was the best choice to stay an inch, so he quietly stepped aside and waited.

After a while, the door slowly opened, and a fresh breeze wafted a strange fragrance.

He raised his head, and in an instant he felt that there were a group of colorful butterflies lingering in front of him, and Xiyue was like a fairy who came out of a fairyland, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

The enchanting voice came faintly, "What's your name?" ”

He opened his mouth slightly, as if he was out of control.

“…… Shen Qing. ”

……

At the same time, Yun Shu received the queen's invitation, and in the Feng Palace, the graceful woman in gorgeous clothes looked at the elegant woman sitting opposite with a soft face, the eyes on her face softened a lot, and she slowly opened her mouth after a long time.

"The county lord of Yongji has not been seen for a long time."

The queen guessed a few points in her heart, the reason why the prince was willing to accept the reality was that she was afraid that a lot of it was due to Yun Shu, and this woman really didn't care about the position of the crown princess.

"The Queen's Mother, Jin An."

Yun Shu could clearly feel the friendliness expressed by the queen, and she solved a big problem for her.

The queen nodded with satisfaction, "The prince's wedding, but the palace knows his intentions, the main Yongji county understands that the palace will never treat you badly, the current situation is like this, the palace is helpless, but the palace hopes that the county lord of Yongji can do his best to assist the prince, and when the prince ascends the throne, there will inevitably be a place for the county lord of Yongji in this harem, and the favor must be unlimited." ”

Yun Shu knew in her heart that the queen had taken a fancy to her own ability, and now she just wanted to let herself know that although she could not give herself the position of the crown princess, as long as she did her best, the future honor would definitely be no less than that of the crown princess.

However, she misunderstood herself, Yun Shu didn't want to explain more, instead of telling the queen that she had no thoughts about the prince, it was better to make mistakes, so that she could still get the support of the queen, and it would be more convenient for her to act.

"Thank you, Queen. It's just that the courtiers have a saying, and I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

The queen immediately restrained her expression, she knew that if it wasn't for something important, Yun Shu would not be so cautious, "In front of this palace, the county lord of Yongji can speak freely. ”

Yun Shu glanced around, and the queen immediately understood what she meant, "You guys stand down." ”

Soon, only the two of them were left in the palace.

"Forgive the courtiers for being presumptuous, the princess is a person from the Yi Kingdom, and the mother must also be vigilant. According to Emperor Yi's style of acting, he stepped into several countries in just a few years after he ascended the throne, if it weren't for the strength of Chen Guo, he didn't dare to act rashly, but he was afraid that Chen Guo would become a trophy under his iron hooves, and now the alliance between the two countries is just an expedient measure, which is a bit true or false, I believe Niang Niang also understands. ”

The queen didn't expect that the woman in front of her would analyze the current situation so thoroughly. is worthy of being a person who came back from Jiangnan with Changronghou, and after seeing the world, she also broadened her horizons.

"Well, you're right."

"And the crown princess, that is, Princess Xiyue of Yi Kingdom, does not hide from her mother, the courtiers know that Princess Xiyue is actually a member of the Yun family of Yi Kingdom, and she went to Chen Kingdom alone to marry the royal family, so she must be the key person. Now you should ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take precautions in secret, not only to lose the demeanor of the Chen Kingdom, but also not to let the traitors take advantage of the loopholes. ”

Yi Guoyun's family?! The queen really didn't know Xiyue's identity, but she heard that the Yun family's medical skills were unparalleled in the world, and together with the queen of Yiguo, they were the eldest daughters of the Yun family. In this way, the crown princess also knows how to use medicine.

The queen pondered for a moment, and it seemed that in the future, there would be an undercurrent in this palace.

"Isn't the prince dangerous?"

Yun Shu nodded slightly, at this moment the queen began to regret a little, she was more concerned about her prince's life than others. Keeping a rich wolf, tiger and leopard by the prince's side is impossible to prevent.

"But Niangniang doesn't have to worry, the crown princess is a concubine of the Yun family's side branch, and as a chess piece, she must have her own reasons for being unwilling. And she tried her best to please the prince, nothing more than hoping to be able to control it, it is better for us to calculate, a woman is alone in another country, the fragility in her heart is the easiest to be used, if the prince can capture his heart, this chess piece may be used by our Chen country. ”

Yun Shu's eyes shone brightly, which made the queen a little stunned for a while, her words were undoubted, and the queen also thought that this was undoubtedly a clever plan.

No one can be willing to be a pawn for others, she still remembers the shock of Xiyue's expression when she stood on a high place and looked down on the surroundings at the Sacrifice to the Heavens Ceremony, she clearly saw the fierce ambition and unwillingness in Xiyue's eyes, which could not be faked.

And to be her in the future, isn't the future mother of a country attractive enough? If the two countries really fight, it is not necessarily who will die.

"Now, if we can know what the crown princess has in the hands of the Empress Yiguo, we can also prescribe the right medicine."

At this moment, the queen suddenly remembered Dongfang Xu's words, if Yunshu is willing, she definitely has enough strength to assist her, even if she does not have a strong background.

"This matter is left to others to do, and this palace is not at ease."

Yun Shu waited for this sentence, "If the queen believes in the courtiers, the courtiers are willing to do their best." ”

The tacit understanding in the eyes of the two was self-evident, and the queen smiled deeply, "In this case, the county lord of Yongji should be friends with the crown princess." ”
