A good restaurant, quiet duli private room.

Neither Charan nor Norwen spoke during dinner, but they both knew that after dinner, they had something to say to each other.

Norwin was a little absent-minded, and the delicious food was tasteless, and he occasionally peeked at the young man, only to see that the other party had been enjoying the dinner process slowly and methodically.

He was disgusted with his current situation, because he had no autonomy.

"This young master, thank you very much for saving me, but I clearly know that I am worthy, and maybe I am not worthy of your help, so may I ask, why is this?"

When the leftovers had been removed by the attendants and the supper was over, Norwin was a little impatient to speak, and he wanted to ask why, for it was a knot in his heart that had risen suddenly.

He needed answers.

"First of all, you are now my retinue, and you should call me my lord, or, master." The young man was not in a hurry, picked up the wine bottle on the table, poured a full glass, looked at Norwen and said, "Need a drink?" ”

Norwin shook his head, he wasn't in the mood to drink right now, he just wanted to know the answer.

"For a reason, I think I'll need a learned scholar for my future journey." The young man shook the liquid in his wine glass and looked at Owon with a smile and said, "You know, the customs and customs of each place are different, and a qualified scholar entourage will make me much easier. ”

"Whatβ€”" Norwen was surprised to hear this. "Are you going to leave the royal capital in the future?"

"What? Why not? Xia Lan seemed a little curious.

Of course not, what if I leave my beloved Bi Lin in the royal capital! Norwin shouted in his heart, he didn't expect the young man's answer to be so surprising and reasonable, but it was an answer he couldn't accept.

As if hearing Nuowen's heart, Xia Lan took a sip of wine, looked at Nuowen, whose face was restless, and said calmly: "It seems that you are not willing to leave the royal capital. ”

Faced with the young man's casual statement of the facts, Nuo Wen took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say: "Yes, there are very important people in the royal capital, and now I can't leave the royal capital." ”

"Not now, but maybe in the future?" Xia Lan asked.

"I don't know."

Norwen clutched his head in pain, because he knew he couldn't take Bilin with him.

It haunted him like a demonic barrier, lingering.

"But you have to be clear, you have become my retinue, and you have no choice." Xia Lan curled the corners of her mouth slightly and said bluntly.

The young man's words poured down like cold water, which immediately made Norwen sad, and he sat down in his chair with his head hanging down, grabbing his hair in pain and saying nothing.

Seeing Nuowen's appearance, Xia Lan was somewhat reassured: "If there is any problem that can be said, maybe I can help you." ”

"Really?" Norwen looked up and hugged hope.

"I don't guarantee it." Xia Lan said meaninglessly.

Noven, who has expectations, still chooses to trust young people, because he only has this one choice.

He began to slowly talk about his troubled past.

Xia Lan kept smiling and listening, and sometimes put the wine glass in his mouth and sipped it, and finally opened the opponent's weak heart defense, which was too simple, so it was okay, he would be a good qualified chess piece.

Perhaps it was because he had hidden the depression and sorrow in his heart for too long, and the suppressed Nuowen seemed to have found a confidant, chattering endlessly, and venting his emotions to the fullest.

When the other party's voice was hoarse, Xia Lan poured another wine glass and handed it to the other party, in exchange for drinking it all, and simply gave him the wine bottle.

Norwen didn't seem to have a lot of alcohol, but soon he became familiar with the wine, and the mood of the process of pouring out became more and more surging and forgetful.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you with your affairs."

It wasn't until after listening to Nuowen's narration and understanding the fundamental problem that Xia Lan spread out her hands and said helplessly.

"How so?" Nuo Wen's face was slightly drunk, and he was a little excited, and said presumptuously: "Aren't you a nobleman?" With your abilities, there will definitely be a way to bring out Bilin! ”

"I'm just a down-and-out foreign nobleman, what do you think is the use of my status in a place like the royal capital?" Xia Lan didn't care about Nuowen's disrespect, and said with a smile: "Could it be that you really think I'm a big person?" ”

"How-how-how-"

After hearing Xia Lan's words, Nuowen obviously showed that he was lost and depressed, and his only hope was ruthlessly cut off, and this painful blow could not be paralyzed by alcohol.

"Butβ€”" Xia Lan looked at the other party and paused, "Although I can't help you, someone can help you." ”

"Who is it?" The young man's abrupt turn of words poured into him like a clear spring, making Nuo Wen feel excited.

The speed of the change in the other party's mood made Xia Lan shake his head, play with the wine glass in his hand and smile: "Didn't you say that you are the eldest prince's scholar's staff?" I think the only one who can help you is the eldest prince. ”

I thought there would be some good way, but it turned out to be like this, Novan tilted his body in the chair and smiled bitterly: "It's impossible." ”

"Why?" Xia Lan asked. "I don't think it's difficult for the eldest prince."

Norwen looked depressed, shook his head and laughed at himself: "Maybe the eldest prince can indeed help me, but do you think the eldest prince needs to help me?" ”

"Oh?"

Facing the young man's incomprehension, Nuo Wen continued in frustration: "As the chief of staff of the eldest prince, he may seem noble in the eyes of ordinary people, but he is nothing in the eyes of the noble, besides, the eldest prince is not only a scholar by his side, and I am becoming more and more marginal with the eldest prince these times, do you think it is necessary for the eldest prince to offend some people for an insignificant staff, just to help me?" ”

"Indeed, no one will do anything that has no interest." Xia Lan agreed.

"So I never expected to be helped by the Great Prince, because I knew that I was not worthy of the Great Prince's help at all." Norwin said with a wry smile.

"Soβ€”" Xia Lan narrowed her eyes slightly, and said with some other meaning, "Do you think you are qualified enough as a scholar?" ”

"Of course!" As if hearing the thorns in the other party's words, Nuowen's face became even more ruddy and said angrily: "You can insult me, but you must not deny my knowledge." ”

"But why are you becoming more and more marginal with the eldest prince? Are you not as good as others? Xia Lan asked with a smile.

"Nope! I'm better than them! Butβ€”" Speaking of the latter, Norwin seemed to sense something and began to be vague.

"But you have always been nostalgic for a woman, forgetting your responsibilities as a member of the eldest prince's staff, and you will be more and more marginal and unvalued by the eldest prince's side."

Xia Lan spoke mercilessly about the scruples in his heart.

Norwen was a little embarrassed, because the other party was telling the truth, and he couldn't refute it, he couldn't refute it.

"Before you met that woman, what was your status with the eldest prince?" Xia Lan asked with a smile and a little analysis.

After hearing this, Nuowen was timid and said: "Compared to now, it is quite important. ”

"What about your fellow scholars?" Xia Lan continued to ask.

"Inferior to me, even insignificant." Norwen bit his lip and lowered his head a little angrily, remembering that in the old days, those fellow scholars did not care about it in his eyes, but now that feng shui takes turns, he often becomes their laughing stock.

"Got it now?" Xia Lan raised her eyebrows lightly, and her fingers unconsciously tapped on the dining table.

"Understand what?" Norwen was a little confused.

Hearing the other party's sluggish words, Xia Lan sighed lightly, seeing that this person is also quite wise, but now the middle-aged person is so stupid in some things, I really don't know if he was stupid when he learned to learn, but from the other side, it is gratifying, after all, this kind of person is too suitable as a chess piece.

"If you hadn't met that woman in the first place, what would your current status be with the Grand Prince?"

This person was the first important person in his plan, so he had to let Xia Lan continue to explain until the other party was completely caught up in his plot.

"It's definitely going to be more important than ever." Speaking of his major, Norwen is very confident.

"And who made you meet that woman in the first place?"

"My colleague, he invited me to the Fitz Clubhouse, and I met Birling."

Speaking of this, a sense of happiness appeared on Norwen's face.

Xia Lan continued to ask, "Then why did your colleague invite you?" ”

"Because he wants me to take more care of the eldest prince's affairs, after all, I was more valued by the eldest prince at that time."

As if going back to the past, Norwen's words also exuded pride.

"You said that Bilin is very expensive at the Fitz Clubhouse, right?"

"Yesβ€”"

"Do you think Belin likes you?"

"Absolutely loved! No one can doubt the love between me and Bilin. ”

The relationship with Bi Lin is Norwen's sensitive bottom line, and his excitement seems to tell everyone that this is his forbidden area.

Xia Lan shook his head again, he decided to give up on the issue of this woman and continue to delve into it, because he knew that this person was completely hopeless in some way, and it was useless to talk about it, and he needed to change the way of inducing.

"Suppose, if you are more and more perfunctory about the things of the Great Prince, who will the result be in your favor?"

Novin calmed down his excitement, pondered the young man's words, and after a moment, he suddenly said, "It's my colleague." ”

Xia Lan said: "Now you understand? ”

"You mean?" Norwen cupped his forehead, his face stunned, he thought of something, and even this thought continued to affect the sinister spread in his heart, until he would never touch someone.

It's not too stupid, it's just a little dull in thinking.

Xia Lan smiled and nodded her head, as if acknowledging the thoughts in his heart.

The human mind is a rather complex being, sometimes it is easy to be disturbed and guided by the outside world, different things, words can form different views on the human heart, and people who are not strong-willed are often the most easily seduced.

The venting of negative emotions, the weakening of the will by alcohol, and the constant guidance of language.

He didn't know if what he was saying was true, and even if he didn't, he would have made it up, because all he needed was to stir up the evil in his heart.

And the process is not over.
