Yongning couldn't help but shudder, she turned around and saw Dongfang Xu's handsome face with a slight frown.

"Brother ...... Prince"

In the womb, Dongfang Xu Yan smiled, he had already heard what had just happened.

The little woman in front of her sat there stiffly, and today's prince brother didn't know what was wrong, giving people a gloomy feeling.

"Why did you go to rob the treasure vault?" Dongfang Xu didn't understand, as a princess, what kind of treasure she hadn't seen, why she risked stealing her father's key and going into the treasure house to mess around.

Yongning can't say that he wants to bring him a unique treasure as a thank you gift to repay Fourth Master Feng, right?

"Because...... Yongning wants to give a baby to the side concubine and sister-in-law as a gift! ”

The big bright eyes shone brightly, and he smiled unusually sweetly.

No, the man slowly walked up to her, reached out and gently knocked on her head, "Since I was a child, this is the expression when you lie. That's it, you don't want to say it, and the imperial brother won't force you, but from now on, you don't want to see Emperor Xiao again. ”

"Why do you all think that Emperor Xiao is a bad person? He saved Yongning twice! Yongning was full of a sense of justice at the moment, and she felt that everyone had misunderstood Xiao Yichen.

Dongfang Xu's face immediately gloomy. "Do you like him?" ”

"Like? Brother Prince, what do you say...... Yongning is just grateful to him, and besides, he looks good when he laughs, and he doesn't look like a bad person at all! Yongning's reason for judging right and wrong is simple, she only believes what she sees.

Dongfang Xu suddenly realized that this sister seemed to be too simple to be protected by her father and mother, and she didn't understand the sinister nature of this world. Sex. Victimized by the Son.

"So, you want to go to Yi Country?"

"Yes! Don't you want the prince's brother? Could it be that the prince's brother is willing to stay in this palace for the rest of his life? No, you've been playing outside for a long time before, so you must be tired of it, but Yongning still can't leave the palace openly! I don't know what the world is like outside. ”

She was still a naïve child, and she only wanted to see the outside world.

"Do you know that if you go to the country of Yi, you may never come back."

Can't come back? Yongning blinked suspiciously, "Although I really want to go to Yiguo to have a look, but if I can't come back, then forget it, I can't bear to Ling'er." ”

Dongfang Xu couldn't help but feel a little funny, "Just reluctant to Ling'er?" ”

Yongning immediately leaned over coquettishly, "Of course, I can't bear the prince's brother!" ”

"What about the father and the mother?"

"......" mentioned Emperor Chen, Yongning immediately pouted, she didn't like her father anymore! This time she actually punished herself like this, causing her to almost lose it. Sex. Life.

As soon as he saw her expression, Dongfang Xu knew what she was thinking.

However, the events of the past few days really made him a little distracted, "Yongning, if you still listen to the emperor's brother, don't see Emperor Xiao again." ”

Yongning was stunned for a moment, looked at Dongfang Xu's stern expression, and nodded after a long time. Even if she didn't see it, she wouldn't feel uncomfortable. It's just that I still feel in my heart that the people in this palace are too rigid, because of Emperor Xiao's identity, he is afraid of him, and if he is suspicious of everyone, such a person will not be happy.

In the cold palace.

"What do you think Emperor Chen will choose?"

Xiao Yichen looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and the smile on his face became deeper and deeper.

"No matter which one you choose, isn't it all beneficial and harmless to your majesty?" Concubine Mei's eyes flowed with light, no matter who these three people were, once they went to Chenguo, it would be impossible for them to come back.

Choosing Gu Xunfang is undoubtedly a huge loss for Chen Guo, no matter whether he can succumb to Emperor Xiao and do things for Yi Guo in the end, this will become a big pain point for the prince of Chen Guo, as if making a wedding dress for others, he finally found a rare talent, and he gave it to others.

Choosing Princess Yongning is equivalent to holding a chip in his hand, this Princess Yongning is the pearl of Emperor Chen's palm, presumably he is reluctant to give up his princess, so if he wants to make a move, he must be afraid, otherwise the princess will be in danger.

chose the county lord of Yongji, which is what Concubine Mei hopes for the most. In recent days, Emperor Chen's body has not deteriorated, and it must be the ghost of the county lord of Yongji behind his back. Although Ann herself. Insert. The spies outside the Nine Dragons Hall did not find the Yongji County Lord's entry and exit, but she believed that Nalanya had a way to let the Yongji County Lord avoid her eyes.

And the Nine Dragons Hall is becoming more and more strictly guarded, so that it has become very difficult for Concubine Mei to get close to Emperor Chen, if she is sent to the Yi Kingdom, then Nalan Ya will have one less beneficial assistant, and if she attacks Emperor Chen again, I believe they will not be able to return to the sky. Moreover, it was for the sake of the emperor's nephew that he did not move the county lord of Yongji, and if she left the kingdom of Chen, what happened, it had nothing to do with herself.

"Before, wasn't Emperor Xiao very interested in the county lord of Yongji?"

Speaking of Yun Shu, Xiao Yichen's eyes crossed with a little disgust, and such an expression fell in Concubine Mei's eyes, and a burst of playfulness immediately rose in her heart. Emperor Xiao rarely shows his feelings, so what did the county lord of Yongji do to affect Emperor Xiao's feelings?

"Interest is temporary, and in my eyes, only interest is lifelong."

Although he has not been able to let go, what is the strange loss in his heart. Since she revealed her true face in front of herself, Xiao Yichen felt that her height in front of people was just pretending, just to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, but after a few chance encounters, he felt that she was so natural, which one was the real her?

However, what made Xiao Yichen more and more displeased was that he found that he seemed to have spent too much thought on this Yongji county lord, and every time someone mentioned her, he couldn't help but think a lot.

He felt that all his thoughts should be on the big things, and now, he actually spent his thoughts on a woman, which was really not like him!

Concubine Mei smiled, but she felt that things were not so simple.

"This palace also wants to know how Emperor Chen will choose."

……

"Your Majesty, have you decided?"

The queen's face was full of darkness, and on the True Dragon Palace, only she and Emperor Chen were left in the empty palace.

The emperor's back at this moment is full of loneliness with a bit of powerlessness.

He just looked up at the golden dragon that was incomparably majestic and majestic, and then smiled lightly.

"Your Majesty?"

"Empress, why do I realize now that Chen Guo is really too weak?"

The Empress was shocked, she had never seen Emperor Chen say such discouraged words. "Your Majesty, it's not that Chenguo is weak, but that the opponent is too insidious."

Emperor Chen slowly turned around, "Empress, why didn't I make great efforts before I?" What did I do in those years? ”

Recalling the time when he was young and vigorous, his ambitions were ambitious, but now looking back on those years, which wish did he accomplish? Is it to strengthen the military strength of the Chen country, or to strengthen the country of Chen?

What he has now is still the same as the image given to him by the first emperor at that time, and it has not changed.

No, some places have changed. is the original elite minister of the DPRK, who slowly grew old with him, and he did not elect more out. Hue. of courtiers.

The queen suddenly felt heartache, and she slowly stepped forward to support him, "Your Majesty, now...... It's not too late. ”

Not too late? Emperor Chen took a deep breath, "Empress, thank you so much for cultivating such an outstanding crown prince for me over the years, he ...... It's my hope, it's the hope of Chenguo......"

The Empress smiled slightly and looked at Emperor Chen's thoughtful face.

"This time, I ...... I'm sorry Yongning. ”

As soon as these words came out, the queen held his hand and stiffened instantly, the emperor had already made a choice?

"Princess Yongning is still young...... Although there are other princesses of marriageable age in the palace, Emperor Xiao specified that he wanted Yongning, and the queen knew that it was impossible to change someone. And she also understands that no matter who she changes, Her Majesty will not feel good.

The last time the princess of Chenguo was married, it was a matter of the reign of the first emperor, at that time His Majesty was only the prince, I heard that on the day of the princess's marriage, His Majesty Xià had personally escorted the princess to the border of Chenguo, it can be seen that at that time, His Majesty Xià and the princesses had a deep brother-sister friendship. The queen also understands that this is why since the emperor ascended the throne, he has never thought of using peace to consolidate diplomatic relations with other countries.

This time he was forced into such a situation by Emperor Xiao, how unwilling Emperor Chen's heart should be.

"Call the prince in."

Soon, Dongfang Xu appeared in the True Dragon Palace.

"Father, mother?" At a glance, he noticed the faces of the two of them. Color., presumably there is something about the selection of the messenger.

Emperor Chen sighed deeply, "Prince, from now on, the rivers and mountains of Chen Kingdom will be borne by you." ”

"Father?" What does that mean? A trace of uneasiness rose in Dongfang Xu's heart.

A faint light flashed in Emperor Chen's eyes, "In other days, if there is a war with the Yi Kingdom, remember to do your best to bring Yongning back." ”

"Father...... Dongfang Xu was shocked, what did his father mean to go to Yiguo and relatives? The hand in his sleeve shook instantly, "Father, let Gu Xunfang ......"

"No, Gu Xunfang is a talent that cannot be lost in my Chen Kingdom, Emperor Xiao will be like this, and he is also afraid of Gu Xunfang's ability, you must protect him thoroughly. Preferably, it can warn him to restrain himself. Sex. Son, let him do things for Chen Guo wholeheartedly. ”

Emperor Chen coughed lightly for a while, "I have decided on this matter, and the crown prince will go and arrange the princess's peace affairs." ”

Dongfang Xu opened his head slightly, and after a long time, he lowered his head, "Erchen...... Got it. ”

And the other end.

In the mansion of the Marquis of Changrong, there was a violent coughing sound from the old lady's room.

"Why did Grandmother suddenly become seriously ill?" These days, even if she is busy, Yun Shu will come to the old lady's house every morning to check her pulse, but this evening she received a nervous report from her grandmother, saying that the old lady suddenly vomited and was delirious.

"The county lord of Yongji is all the fault of the slaves. At noon, the old lady said that her mouth was very astringent, and she wanted to eat some sweets, so the slave maid ordered the people in the dining room to make some snacks, and she didn't want the old lady to have such symptoms after taking them. At first, it was just dizziness and dry mouth, until after resting, the symptoms suddenly worsened, which ...... That's how it can be good. ”

Yun Shu's face was full of solemnity, and Mama noticed that today's Yongji County Lord seemed to be different, and a bad premonition rose in her heart, "The county lord should ...... There's a way, right? ”
