Compared with the panic on Zhou Jingyu's side, Lin Zhaoyan's side was much smoother, holding the jade plate given by Zhou Wanyu, it was really smooth all the way.

However, she wasn't sure where Xiao Qi was now, looking at the atmosphere in this mansion, it was not as chaotic as Qiaobi said, but it was a little unreasonable and quiet and dull.

Xiao Wangfu is also a palace, and now the emperor came out of Xiao Wangfu, not to mention that there should be someone to visit when guests gather.

However, Xiao Wangfu, except for the patrols and guards that can be seen everywhere, does not reflect the grandeur of a royal mansion.

Lin Zhaoyan was strange while walking forward with his feelings.

Suddenly, she heard a cacophony of sounds, as if coming from the courtyard across from her.

She was about to walk over subconsciously, but was stopped by the guards guarding the gate of the courtyard, "The palace is heavy, don't enter the idle people!" ”

Lin Zhaoyan skillfully took out the sign given by Zhou Wanyu, "It was the princess who asked me to come over." ”

The guard was not as respectful and careful as the others, and still had a cold face, and repeated expressionlessly: "Don't go in." ”

Lin Zhaoyan saw that there was a hint of disdain in his indifferent expression, not at all like the unnatural panic that other people in the mansion showed when they mentioned Zhou Jingyu, and he let her go almost without asking, knowing that this guard was definitely not from the palace.

At least, it is not under the control of Zhou Jingyu and Xiao Ming.

Perhaps, it was brought by Xiao Qi.

This realization made Lin Zhaoyan's eyes light up.

If this guard is really Xiao Qi's person, then Xiao Qi must be in this courtyard!

The noise that came out just now must have come from Xiao Qi!

"So what are you going to do! Do you want to wipe us all out? Suddenly there was a roar in the courtyard, and it could be heard that it was angry and sad to the extreme.

It was Xiao Ming's voice.

Lin Zhaoyan frowned.

The guard had already unceremoniously squeezed her hand, "If you don't want to die, get out!" ”

Lin Zhaoyan also knew that it was useless for him to stay here, so he hurriedly pretended to be frightened and stumbled away.

She certainly won't really go.

Xiao Ming's voice came from inside, and she could almost conclude that Xiao Qi was with him.

Listening to his tone and the content of his words, I knew that although Qiaobi's words were exaggerated, he did not lie to her.

Xiao Qi may really want to deal with Xiao Ming. made a wall of brothers, and even killed each other.

This is something that must not happen!

After all, he missed the opportunity when he first ascended the throne, and now it is almost impossible to get rid of Xiao Wangfu openly.

And Lin Zhaoyan didn't think that Xiao Qi chose to let them go at the beginning, and he would suddenly have trouble with them at this time.

Could it be that he said with a very bad face that day that someone wanted to take care of his housework, but it was actually about Xiao Wangfu?

Someone must be sowing discord among them, and Xiao Qi and Xiao Ming will make a fuss at this time.

No matter what the purpose of that person is, in short, if Xiao Qi really deals with Xiao Wangfu, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court, and maybe even threaten his throne and even his life.

The more Lin Zhaoyan thought about it, the more scared he became, but he couldn't enter the yard. I don't know what to do.

Thinking about it, it was better to go around to the back of the yard first and hear what they were saying first, and in case a discord broke out, she should be able to stop it for a while by making a little noise.

If there is nothing to do, she will talk to Xiao Qi alone later.

In short, the disadvantages of this matter must be minimized.

"You're threatening me now?" An unhurried voice, with an indescribable coldness and indifference.

Lin Zhaoyan had never heard Xiao Qi speak in such a tone, and he called himself "I". For a while, the emotions were complicated and difficult to speak.

Will he talk to himself with such an attitude one day?

After all, the imperial power is profit-seeking. I'm afraid that even he himself can't guarantee that his sincerity towards her will never change......

Lin Zhaoyan shook his head, didn't let himself think too much, and continued to stick to the corner of the wall to listen to the movement inside.

"Big brother, I know that you are now the emperor. The power is monstrous, I don't have the ability or capital to threaten you, but what I just said is sincere. Let go of your mother and father, or I will tell you how you got to this position! ”

"Do you think that if you say it, someone will believe it?" Another cold and disdainful voice was Xu Xiujin.

Lin Zhaoyan frowned when she heard this, in her impression, Xiao Ming should be a weak and intelligent, kind and righteous young man, and his brotherhood towards Xiao Qi was even more sincere, what happened to make him say this?

"Believe it or not, it's naturally not within my control, I'm just doing what I should do, I believe that as the emperor's younger brother, when I say such a thing, I will always make trouble for a while, and I'm afraid that no one will take advantage of the topic to play at that time?" Xiao Ming was silent and continued.

"You!" Xu Xiu was anxious.

"You're not afraid that I'll kill you." Xiao Qi took over the conversation lightly.

"Wouldn't I let me go if I didn't say that my eldest brother would let me go? You just deceived me like a fool, and I always regarded you as the most trusted person, and the result was that this trust almost killed my father and mother! Xiao Ming said with a little excitement.

Xiao Qi said disdainfully: "If I really wanted to kill you, you definitely didn't have this life to live to this day, and there would be no place for you to stand here arrogantly today and question and threaten me." ”

"In that case, why didn't Big Brother kill us sooner, and why did you save these scourges that can pose a threat to you to this day? You had killed me earlier, and I wouldn't have had to suffer like this. Xiao Ming shot back self-deprecatingly.

"It's come to this, it's useless to talk more, I won't kill you, I won't let them go, what do you want, just do it!"

"Xiao Qi, you're crazy!" Xu Xiujin said excitedly: "Although this matter looks like someone is deliberately calculating, no matter what you do, you will be criticized, but compared to seeking the throne, the killing of siblings is always lighter, and then find a reason to suppress it!" ”

Xu Xiujin wanted Xiao Qi to kill Xiao Ming.

Lin Zhaoyan's eyes widened, and he was about to speak out, when he heard Xiao Qi say lightly: "I won't kill him, never." ”

"Why?!"

"He's my only family." Although Xiao Qi's words were still cold and indifferent, it could be heard that there was a faint sadness in it.

Xiao Ming's side was also silent for a while.

After a long time, I heard him say: "In this case, why can't you let go of the concubine, she, she did something wrong, but she also has a hard time, and she is also a victim!" ”

"Xiao Ming, do you think Xiao Qi doesn't want to let her go? It's that she can't let Xiao Qi go, don't you believe it, once Xiao Qi releases her, she will be able to kill Xiao Qi immediately! ”

Xiao Ming hurriedly said: "How come, the mother concubine is not that kind of person, she ......"

"Xiao Ming." Xiao Qi interrupted him, "I am willing to come to see you today, not to mean that I compromise with you, but to make you clear about my position, I can't let go of a person who wants to kill me all the time, as for you...... If you are willing to be instigated, then it is useless for me to say anything, you can do it yourself. ”

Lin Zhaoyan was also exhausted when she heard it, it seems that the contradiction between the two brothers is more serious than she imagined, and more importantly, she doesn't understand what happened when she hears it now, how can she help?

Just as she was distressed, she suddenly heard a violent knock on the door, accompanied by the woman's excited shouts.

Lin Zhaoyan was a little familiar when he heard this voice, and when he recognized it carefully, it turned out to be Zhou Jingyu's voice.

She jumped in her heart, thinking that Zhou Jingyu recognized her and deliberately caught up with her?

But then she thought about it, the door god guarding outside the courtyard shouldn't let her break in, right?

Sure enough, Zhou Jingyu knocked on the door for a while, and there was no movement.

Xiao Ming was probably worried about Zhou Jingyu, so he didn't refute Xiao Qi's words again, but said, "I'll go out and have a look." ”

Xiao Qi didn't respond, but Lin Zhaoyan heard a sound of Suosuo's footsteps, and they should have left the courtyard together.

Because it was far away, Lin Zhaoyan couldn't hear the sound outside the courtyard clearly, but he could vaguely hear the conversation between Zhou Jingyu and Xiao Ming, and there were only the two of them, so he wondered if it could be Xiao Qi and they had already left?

She waited silently for a while, and then heard Xiao Ming say anxiously, "Jingyu, why are you here?" Didn't I tell you not to come near here? ”

"I, I'm fine, Xiao Ming, apart from the emperor and Xu Xiujin, has anyone looked for you?" Zhou Jingyu's voice sounded more anxious than his.

Lin Zhaoyan finally confirmed that Xiao Qi and the others had left, so he was not interested in listening to it anymore, and was about to turn around and leave, when he was choked by the neck.

"You're really looking for death!"

It was the voice of the guard.

Lin Zhaoyan immediately felt a sense of suffocation, and immediately struggled with his hands, "Let go, let go...... Ahem......"

"I'm afraid, you don't have this chance!" As he spoke, he increased the force on his hand.

Lin Zhaoyan's breathing gradually became difficult, and the hand holding his wrist gradually lost its strength.

"Atin, let her go!" Just as she was about to faint, the force of her neck suddenly disappeared, and she plunged forward into a familiar and warm embrace.

"Your Majesty, she just wanted to break into the courtyard, but after being stopped by me, she hid here and eavesdropped, and I don't know what her intentions are!"

Lin Zhaoyan stroked his neck and panted, and only after a long time did he speak in a hoarse voice, "I, I didn't ......"

"Why are you here!" Xiao Qi let go of Lin Zhaoyan and glared at her and asked.

But looking at his face, it was not so much anger as fear.

Just now, he heard Atin say that someone was hiding behind the courtyard and eavesdropping, so he came with him, and he didn't think much about it in his heart, he just thought that it was someone who was plotting against him, who would have thought that it would be her!

If he hadn't discovered it in time, with Atin's strength, she would have seen Hades a long time ago!

Did the comfortable life she have lived these days make her brain degenerate to be able to do such a dangerous thing!

"Lin Zhaoyan, you'd better explain things to me clearly!" Xiao Qi's face was pale, and his tone was incomprehensible.
