This answer is tactful enough and clear enough.

"Ah...... Well, haha, too. Xiao Changting laughed, trying to hide the loss in his heart.

But this time, he didn't make it.

Xie Zhan found out.

They have been together for a long time, and Xiao Changting's every word, smile, and every move, he can guess everything. Nine is not far from ten.

The drooping eyelids and clenched fists clearly declare his sadness and forbearance.

Why does he have such feelings? Could it be that everything is not fake, Xiao Changting, really like Xin Muyuan?

Thinking of this, Xie Zhan's heart became even more sour.

He quietly moved to the side along the edge of the chair, approaching Xinmu Yuan, and asserting his sovereignty.

The corners of Xiao Changting's lips were slightly hooked, but he didn't see it.

"You've decided to leave?" Xiao Changting lowered his head and stirred the viscous nutritious porridge, adjusted his mood for a moment before looking up at Xin Muyuan.

"There's this idea." Xiao Changting's anger also calmed Xin Muyuan a lot.

She received the emperor's favor, and in return, she had to always be by the emperor's side to protect him and serve him.

Now that she said to leave, and took Xie Zhan away, Xiao Changting was suddenly the only one left around, no wonder he was angry and angry.

Now is the critical time, he is alone, and the danger is unspeakable.

Xin Muyuan hesitated.

Xie Zhan's gaze swept over Xin Muyuan's body, and he had all kinds of feelings in his heart.

What Xiao Changting was worried about, what he was angry about, he also knew in his heart, he could also stay, but he hoped that it was he who took the initiative to stay, not Xin Muyuan's hesitation.

"If the surrounding weasels have hidden their heads in the desert and the ambitious hungry wolves have found their food, you don't have to worry about your safety in a short time. Mu Yuan stayed here, just reduced to the playthings of the ladies and ladies, and suffered a lot of grievances, it was really unnecessary, it was better to take advantage of this blank period to go out and relax. I'm sure she'll be back when you need it. Xie Zhan said.

Every time he mentioned Xin Muyuan, he had to turn his head to look at her twice, his eyes and tone were full of distress, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Xiao Changting was unhappy in his heart, and said: "Brother Zhan has said it too much, what is the day of Xin Ye in Liying, not only Brother Zhan is concerned, but I am also concerned." It's just a fight between children, how can Xin Ye be used as a plaything? ”

Xie Zhan chuckled and said, "If the emperor thinks so, the minister has nothing to say." It's just that Mu Yuan is the treasure of the minister's palm, and the minister is reluctant to give her a little grievance on weekdays, and suddenly seeing her so humiliated in the hands of others, it is inevitable that she will feel distressed and annoyed, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive her sins. ”

Every word is comparing himself and Xiao Changting's attitude towards Xin Muyuan.

At this time, the emperor couldn't even say "I'm also distressed".

Xiao Changting's mind circled in his chest many times, and he sorted it out, picked up the teapot and poured tea for the two of them, and said, "It's me who has thought about it." Since Xin Ye insisted on leaving, I couldn't keep it, so I could only wish Xin Ye a good time outside, have a good time, just ......"

His words suddenly changed, and he hooked his lips and said, "I am surrounded by hungry wolves and tigers now, and you two are my right-hand men, and I trust the most, and I can't leave you." When Xin Ye is gone, my heart is vacant for a large part, and I always feel that it is not safe around me, if Brother Zhan is gone, I ......"

He looked at Xie Zhan, and there was a rare sense of grievance and helplessness in his eyes: "Brother Zhan, do you really want to leave with Xin Ye?" ”

Xie Zhan, who wants to take leave: "......"

Xiao Changting's words have come to this point, what else can he say? can only stubbornly answer: "Your Majesty, Fang Caichen is not considerate in what he says and does." You're right, if it's too flat on the surface today, who knows who is eyeing it behind it? Your Majesty can rest assured that since the minister has said that he will protect you to the death, he will definitely protect you. ”

He looked at Xin Muyuan reluctantly, gritted his teeth and said, "Minister...... Remain. ”

Xin Muyuan stared at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, "Yes, he stays, I'll just go around alone." Anyway, it's not to stir up trouble and fight, what are so many people doing around you? ”

Xiao Changting showed a lucky and honest smile, stroked his chest and said, "Mu Yuan, Brother Zhan, fortunately with you, you are really good to me." Brother Zhan, since Mu Yuan said so, you can stay with me. Mu Yuan, you are out alone, you must be cautious. If you are bullied, you don't have to bear it, there is me behind everything. ”

"Okay, then Mu Yuan will thank Your Majesty." Xin Muyuan saluted respectfully.

The three of them chatted calmly for a long time, and when they saw that it was not early, a few people had just gotten up and were about to let the kitchen prepare some food, when they saw Shen Gonggong walking in quickly with his head down, saluting the three of them, and then walking quickly to Xiao Changting's side, and whispered:

"Your Majesty, Concubine Du Guifei ordered someone to prepare a few side dishes that the emperor still eats, saying that the time is almost up, and your stomachs are also hungry, do you need to keep them for dinner?"

Xiao Changting raised his eyebrows, his heart was a little warm, and said, "She even thought about this matter?" ”

Gonggong Shen was also very satisfied with Du Mingyue, and said: "Du Guifei is a careful and caring person, and she has long memorized your routine, likes and dislikes, and habits for the emperor. According to the slave, the mother has a deep love for you, and there is only you in her heart. ”

Xiao Changting glared at him and said, "When were you bought by Du Guifei?" ”

Gonggong Shen waved his hand in a panic, hurriedly put aside the relationship, and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave only has His Majesty in his heart, and he is only loyal to His Majesty, how can he buy it!" It's just that although the things that Du Guifei did didn't alarm Your Majesty, they always had to go through us people and ...... slowly The old slave was moved by Du Guifei's true feelings...... That's all, Your Majesty! The old slave really hasn't been bribed by Du Guifei, and Du Guifei has never bribed us slaves! ”

Shen Gonggong has been following Xiao Changting for several years, how can Xiao Changting not know what kind of person Shen Gonggong is? Waving his hand, he said, "That's what I said, why should I be so nervous?" ”

After a pause, he said, "Coincidentally, I also want to leave the two of them to eat." Since Du Guifei is so attentive and has already prepared, then invite Du Guifei to dine together. ”

"Eh, yes!" Gonggong Shen was suddenly very happy in his heart, and he felt that his children were finally married.

This is because he suddenly has some confusion, whether his feelings are towards Xiao Changting or Du Mingyue.

The place of dining is in the second courtyard of Panlongju, where there are five empty rooms, but no one has come all year round.
