"Princess, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Only then did Shen Fan send someone to come and say that the emperor had set up a family banquet, and you were invited to go over with His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"Together?" Princess Su'an paused, "He meant to let me call Xiao Yuhuan to go with me?" ”

"Sounds like that, that's how it should be."

"Xiao Nai, what do you mean by saying that the emperor? If he were to do so, would he not be a victim of me? ”

"Framed?" Xiao Nai felt a little incredible, "Princess, maybe the emperor just wants to eat together as a family, or maybe he wants to ease the relationship between you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Princess, maybe it's really you thinking too much. ”

"Relaxation? Thinking too much? Princess Su'an snorted coldly, "She never cared about our relationship, let alone because I thought too much. He did this just to restrain Xiao Yuhuan. He didn't come forward and asked me to be this scapegoat, which was nothing more than an attempt to exclude himself. Although he sent someone to say it, it also represents his own meaning, but after all, the person who came out is me, so the person who is most likely to anger Xiao Yuhuan is me. He is the emperor, above hundreds of millions of people, no one dares to doubt his words in the slightest, but after all, he is old, and he naturally knows that Xiao Yuhuan's current power is different from before, if he is really forced to be in a hurry, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be forced to the palace. People are selfish, and even if they know that they don't have long to live, they still want to live well in the moment. But now, he knows what Xiao Yuhuan has done and what we have done, but he has no intention of managing it, and he has no power to manage it, so he can only let us restrain each other in order to seek his own peace for a while. Today's matter, even if Xiao Yuhuan knows the emperor's intentions, he will definitely seize this opportunity to trouble me. ”

"But princess, the emperor didn't let the king of Nanyang and His Royal Highness the crown prince check and balance, why did he choose you?"

Princess Su'an sighed and said: "This is also a little selfishness of his, from the heart he still prefers his brother, even if Xiao Yuhuan is now the prince, he still prefers the king of Nanyang in his heart." Therefore, if such a thing is to offend a person, it is better to offend me. I'm just a princess, powerless, just a victim of power, no matter where I use it, I'm just a tool. ”

"Princess, I think maybe the emperor still thinks that you are the sister of His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not treat you well."

Princess Su'an was silent for a moment, then stood up and looked at Xiao Nai and said, "It doesn't matter to him whether he kisses or not, no matter what he thinks, today's shield is to be done." That's right, Xiao Nai. Have Xiao Yuhuan and Shen Fan made any recent moves? ”

"The slaves and maids have been staring at each other, and I haven't seen them move."

"What about the Nanyang King?"

"I didn't see any movement."

"It's fine, but I always feel like I'm missing something. Forget it, let's go see Xiao Yuhuan now. ”

———— ———— ————

"Your Majesty" Shen Fan brought the tea in hand to the emperor, "It will take a while for them to come, you drink tea first." This tea is good for your health, your majesty, you have to take care of your dragon body! ”

The emperor took the tea and tasted it: "Well, it's good tea." Shen Fan, how long have you been with the prince? ”

"Your Majesty, what do you say? The old slave has always been Your Majesty's man! ”

"I'm old, but I still know some things. You've helped the prince and done a lot of things, right? ”

"Your Majesty!" Shen Fan knelt down, "Please punish Your Majesty." ”

"Huh? What are you doing? Get up, and I will talk with you, and punish you at every turn, and the world will think that I am a murderer. Could it be that you want to force me to be a mediocre king? ”

"The old slave doesn't dare, Your Majesty, you are the monarch of the benevolent Meiji, and you are a slave who can't speak."

"Okay, okay, hurry up, you won't do anything to help the prince, look at you scared like that. Alright, get up and stand well. ”

"Yes." Shen Fan stood up and stood respectfully beside him.

"Shen Fan, you have assisted him for so long, do you think the prince is a malleable talent?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a lofty mind, and in the future, he will definitely be a wise king who will serve the country and the people like His Majesty."

"You don't have to say these polite words to please me, I naturally know what my son is like. Don't be polite, be honest, what do you think of him? ”

Shen Fan hesitated and said: "The old slave thinks that His Royal Highness the Prince's heart is still good, but sometimes there is always a lack of consideration when doing things. ”

"The heart is good? Hum! He can do it to his brother for the sake of power, do you think his heart is good? ”

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's heart is indeed good, and the old slave thinks that he did those things to King Nanyang just because he didn't think about it."

"Shen Fan, you are a smart person, you have been by my side for a long time, I can see it. It's just that you, a smart person, could think of assisting Xiao Yuhuan instead of Xiao Shuyu? Or is it my youngest son, Xiao Yunjue? They are all my sons, I don't want to favor anyone, but from the perspective of qualifications and temperament, if it were me, I would be more willing to assist Xiao Shuyu, and judging from the facts, Su An did this. ”

"Your Majesty, if the old slave says something that makes you unhappy, the King of Nanyang is indeed superior to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in all aspects, while the King of Shuyang is superior to the other two princes in terms of martial arts and military strategy. However, the king of Nanyang is too tender, indecisive and easy to lose the opportunity, and he is not as decisive as His Royal Highness the Prince. The King of Nanyang and the King of Shuyang are one and the same, and although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is inferior to the two princes, they are balanced. If the future throne is His Royal Highness the Prince, the old slave thinks that the three princes love each other, assisted by the other two princes, the King of Nanyang assists the dynasty, and the King of Shuyang stabilizes the frontier, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be able to govern the world well. ”

The emperor suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha, then what do you think is wrong with letting Su An invite the prince at this family banquet?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with it, Your Majesty just wants to ease the relationship between their brother and sister."

"I have to say, I'm selfish! Alright, you go down and get ready. ”

"Yes."

———— ———— ————

"What? Dinner? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince crossed his waist and spun around in front of Princess Su'an, "Father didn't send someone to call me, but sent you?" ”

Princess Su'an was unmoved: "Since it's a family banquet, what's the matter with who to send to invite you?" ”

"Is he looking down on me, the prince? Everything is done according to the rules, can't a eunuch next to him invite this prince? Or Xiao Yunyi, what did you do secretly?! ”

"A family banquet doesn't cost me everything. What's more, what's in it for me to do it at this time? Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to move quickly, don't let your father wait in a hurry. ”

"Xiao Yunyi! Is this your attitude towards your brother?! ”

"It doesn't matter what your attitude is, I'm just here to pass the word, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants, that's your own business."

"Xiao Yunyi, don't think that you can be safe with Xiao Shuyu behind you to support you."

"Su An doesn't need anyone to support me, Su An can do everything by himself, so he doesn't have to worry about His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Good! Xiao Yunyi: You're a guy, aren't you? The family feast may have been arranged by you! ”

Princess Su'an sneered: "My dignified princess still can't please move your Royal Highness the Prince?" I invite the eunuch who is not as good as my father's side to invite, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means that the princess is not as good as the eunuch? ”

"I—" Xiao Yuhuan suddenly lost his momentum, "I didn't mean that. ”

"Then please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go with Su An. Come! Change clothes for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! His Royal Highness the Prince, Su An is waiting for you outside the door. With that, Princess Su'an took Xiao Nai and turned to leave.

"You!" Xiao Yuhuan stared at Princess Su'an walking out of the East Palace, and the smile on his face immediately appeared, "Xiao Yunyi, you want to fight with me, be careful that I let you walk around without eating!" ”

———— ———— ————

"Ruolin!" Xuan Zhuyi trotted in with a large pile of plates and plates, "Come, these are what you like to eat." ”

"Wow! Big brother? You've taken so much?! ”

"There was no one in the kitchen, so I took some more. Taste it and see if it suits your appetite. If it's not enough, I'll get it again. ”

"No need, senior brother, there are already a lot of these, and if you eat Ruolin again, you will become a little pig."

"Piglet? Hahaha, if Ruolin becomes a little pig, then I will hold you every day, and I will take you wherever I go. ”

"Do you want to take me with you to dinner?"

"Of course! I'm going to give you this little pig something to eat, too! ”

"Then senior brother, do you still eat pork?"

"The little pig can't see me eat pork, so for the sake of the little pig, I won't eat pork in the future!"

"Hahaha, senior brother, why are you still like a child?"

"It just so happens that you're a fool, I'm a childish ghost, and I happen to be a natural pair." The two of them chatted and laughed while eating, and there were only the two of them in the whole room, and it seemed that there were only two of them in the whole world.

"Dangdangdang" A knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two, Xuan Zhuyi stood up and asked the door, "Who?" ”

"The people outside the door don't speak."

"Ruolin, you eat first, I'll take a look, maybe it's Shang Ling's play."

"Big brother!" Ouyang Ruolin stretched out her hand and pulled Xuan Zhuyi away, "Senior brother, be careful, I suddenly feel that something is not right." ”

"It's okay Ruolin, I'll be careful, you sit here obediently." Xuan Zhuyi walked towards the door, Ouyang Ruolin sat in place, her eyes staring at the door.

"Who's that?" Xuan Zhuyi cautiously asked the people outside the door, but there was still no sound outside. Xuan Zhuyi slowly opened the door, and there was no one outside.

"Senior brother?" Ouyang Ruolin asked worriedly, "Who is it?" Big brother? ”

Xuan Zhuyi turned his head and said to Ouyang Ruolin: "No one, I think it may be Shang Ling who deliberately ......."

As she was speaking, Ouyang Ruolin's eyes widened and exclaimed, "Senior brother! Watch your back! ”

Xuan Zhuyi hurriedly turned around, and a black shadow jumped in front of him, and a beam of light was flying towards him. Xuan Zhuyi's eyes quickly grabbed the side of the door, and he lay down almost close to the ground to avoid the light. The black shadow then turned around and jumped from in front of Xuan Zhuyi to the forest on the other side.

"Big brother!" Xuan Zhuyi was about to chase him out, but Ouyang Ruolin called out to him from behind, "Senior brother, this may be a trap, if he runs away, run away." ”

"Ruolin, this person is extraordinary. If we can find out where we are, it must be against us. If we don't find him in time, we may do something bad to us later. ”

"But now it's so dark, I'm afraid ......"

"Ruolin, you stay here, don't worry, I'll be fine." After that, Xuan Zhuyi also jumped and disappeared into the darkness. Ouyang Ruolin couldn't sit still, and got up and wanted to find Shang Ling and the others to help Xuan Zhuyi, but knocked on the door and found that none of them were there. In desperation, Ouyang Ruolin wore a wedding dress and went downstairs with her own sword to find Xuan Zhuyi.

"Senior brother?" Ouyang Ruolin looked for Xuan Zhuyi in the forest without any direction, but she didn't dare to shout out loudly, so she had to take one step at a time. When she walked to the depths of the forest, Ouyang Ruolin heard the sound of quarrels not far away, and some subtle and elusive sounds. Ouyang Ruolin took out the scabbard, held the sword firmly in his hand, and approached the sound step by step. Ouyang Ruolin only felt a little dazzling, looked up, a beam of light fell from the top of her head, Ouyang Ruolin stretched out her hand to resist with a sword, and a nimble black shadow rushed over from the front, and rushed out with Ouyang Ruolin in her arms and fell to the ground.

"Big brother?!" Ouyang Ruolin saw the appearance of the person who came, but Xuan Zhuyi couldn't wait, and immediately turned around to observe the situation around him, "Ruolin? You okay? ”

Ouyang Ruolin stood up and leaned against Xuan Zhuyi: "I'm fine, senior brother?" What is the origin of this man? It feels amazing. ”

"I don't know, you watch your surroundings. Through the fight just now, I can be sure that there is more than one person, and now the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, so you must be careful, understand? ”

"Well, I see." As he was talking, another beam of light appeared in front of the two of them, and Xuan Zhuyi pulled Ouyang Ruolin behind him and hit him with a sword. Two or three black shadows jumped down from a tree not far away and rushed towards Ouyang Ruolin, Xuan Zhuyi also discovered the situation here, and turned around to leave with Ouyang Ruolin, but he didn't want a pair of eyes above his head to be eyeing him.

"Big brother!"

———— ———— ————

Mu Zhixi asked Shang Ling slightly drunk, "Hey, Shang Ling?" To be honest, watching the senior brother get married today, are you still a little envious? ”

Shang Ling blushed and asked, "Huh?" What do I envy? ”

"I envy Senior Brother and Ruolin for their cultivation to a positive fruit!"

"I don't like Ruolin, what do I envy?"

Mo Cheng grabbed a jar of wine on the side and said, "Zhixi means to say, Ah Ling, when you watch Xuan Gongzi get married, do you also want to get married to Miss Yu quickly?" ”

"Hahahaha" Mu Jinggong also seemed to be a little drunk, and staggered, "Mo Cheng! Are you drunk? It's not the same as before! ”

Feng Xunyi sat next to him and helped Mu Jinggong and said, "You guys are in high spirits today, and you are all drunk. Don't you want to bother me to send you back then? ”

Shang Ling: "Hey! No! I'll just take a break. ”

Mu Zhixi: "Shang Ling? You haven't said it yet, do you want to marry Yu Cihyuk? ”

"Huh~" Shang Ling picked up another jar of wine, "Yu Tzu He and I, we are friends!" ”

Mo Cheng sneered: "Forget it, Ah Ling, who of us doesn't know your thoughts about Miss Yu?" As long as you open your mouth, we'll help you, don't you say, Zhixi? ”

Mu Zhixi: "Yes, as long as you say that you are friends, we will definitely help you!" ”

"Me and Yu Cihyuk? Hahahaha" Shang Ling suddenly laughed, "It's absolutely impossible for the two of us!" Don't think about it, you guys! I... Ay? ”

Mu Jinggong: "What's wrong?" Got it? ”

"It's not." Listening to the tone, Shang Ling seemed to be awake, "Why are you here?" As he spoke, Shang Ling picked up a little fox.

Feng Xunyi stared at the little fox for a long time: "This is the little fox you mentioned before?" ”

"Yes, but how did it get here?"

The little fox stared at Shang Ling with big eyes, and after a moment it wagged its tail and turned its head in one direction, its eyes kept looking in that direction, Shang Ling felt that something was wrong and quickly stood up.

Mu Zhixi: "Huh? Shang Ling? Why are you going? ”

"Senior Sister Mu, I feel that something is wrong, this little fox suddenly appeared, as if it was waking me up for something."

As soon as she heard the words "something is wrong", Mu Zhixi immediately sobered up and said, "Something's wrong? Wait, I was a little uneasy yesterday, and it looks like something might have happened today. ”

Now that everyone is a little sober, Feng Xunyi said solemnly: "Don't waste time, without further ado, let's go back and have a look first." ”

A group of people rushed back to their residences, but saw that Xuan Zhuyi and Ouyang Ruolin's wedding room was brightly lit but empty.

Mu Zhixi: "By the way, isn't Yu Cihe back?" Let's ask Yu Tzu-hyuk first. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Shang Ling ran to Yu Cihe's house and knocked on the door, "Yu Cihe? Yu Tzu-hyuk? Are you in Yu Cihyuk? No one answered.

Mu Jinggong: "Are you asleep?" Yu Cihyuk's old injury recurred today, and it is possible that he will not hear the knock on the door if he sleeps. ”

"Wait." Feng Xunyi stepped forward and stood at the door of the house and listened for a while, "No, there is no sound of breathing, she may not be in the house." ”

Shang Ling: "Not in the house?!" Isn't she hurt? How can it not be in the house?! ”

Mu Zhixi: "Open the door first, don't something happen." ”

Shang Ling kicked the door open, and several people stood at the door, the house was neat and clean, there was no trace of anyone at all, and Yu Cihe never came back at all.

Shang Ling: "What's going on?" Why wasn't she there? ”

"Whoop~" A crisp voice came from Shang Ling's feet, and the little fox bit Shang Ling's shirt and pulled it all the way to one place, "Forget it, let's go over there first, it may be that the little fox knows something." ”

The people who had gone deep into the forest followed the little fox's footsteps in one direction.

Mo Cheng: "Why do you feel a bloody breath in the air?" ”

"Bloody?" Mu Zhixi also sniffed carefully, "It seems to be a little." ”

"Wait." Shang Ling's eyes suddenly widened, and he pointed to a place and trembled, "Is that Ah Xuan and Ruolin?" ”

Everyone looked in the direction of Shang Ling's finger, and there were two people close together in the darkness, and there were four people around them slowly approaching them.

"Ah Xuan!" Shang Ling shouted and rushed forward. The little fox rushed towards the four black shadows first, and in an instant the little fox became as tall as a person, and the four black shadows found out about the situation and were about to escape, but the little fox rushed over and held down a person, and grabbed a person who was about to run from the tree with the other paw. It swept it with its tail, sweeping the other one to the ground and couldn't stand up, and there was also the person closest to Xuan Zhuyi, and the little fox opened his mouth and bit off one of the person's legs. Shang Ling and the others ran to Xuan Zhuyi, Xuan Zhuyi was holding Ouyang Ruolin, with multiple sword wounds on his body, and Ouyang Ruolin in his arms was unconscious at the moment, his face was covered with blood, and he was actually fused with Daxi's wedding dress.
