Elilian shook her head and said, "Even if I run back, my father may not believe me. What's more, Najib is his sister-in-law, and I am favored, and I have to be in the back row in front of Najib. Moreover, there are a large number of queen's eyeliner in the palace, and the queen's faction in the court will definitely say bad things about me at that time. ”

The more Elilian said that the light in her eyes became more and more dim, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Now, Najib has sent people to keep an eye on me all day long, and it is not a simple matter to escape from this cage. ”

Liu Mengyan naturally knew how difficult this matter was, but she knew better that all this was not a fool's dream.

"Princess, trust your fellow brother. You have grown up together since childhood, you have relied on each other, and if he learns about you, he will help you. Moreover, if the secret agreement between Najib and the Five Princes is unfavorable to your father, your father will not support him at that time. ”

Elilian looked at Liu Mengyan in surprise, her heart was full of doubts, how could she, a woman who had lived in Da Tuoba since she was a child, know so many things about the country of Uzi?

Liu Mengyan didn't care about showing her feet, and continued: "Princess, now only you can save yourself. You have to find a way to steal the secret agreement made by Najib and Tuoba Yeze, and as for Tuoba Yeze's side, we will also find a way to see if we can get the secret agreement in his hand. ”

"Okay, I promise you." Elilian nodded.

What if it's a big gamble?

Compared to marrying the man who forced her, she would rather give it a go, and at worst she would just die.

Liu Mengyan saw that Elilian had made up her mind, and a stone fell to the ground in her heart: "Since this is the case, we will act separately now, and when the time comes, I will come to see the princess again." ”

The two agreed, and Elilian personally sent Liu Mengyan out of the door.

This Tuoba Zeyan was using the matter of horses to deal with Naji Tuoba , and while the two were talking, they saw Liu Mengyan walking towards him.

"The princess is so happy, didn't something interesting happen to Princess Elilian?" Tuoba Zeyan smiled mildly.

Liu Mengyan nodded: "The prince can always understand the mood of the concubine at first glance, Princess Elilian's temperament is really interesting to me, and I have a very happy conversation with Princess Elilian this time." ”

Saying that, as if she suddenly thought of something, Liu Mengyan turned around and saluted Najib, and said with a little sincerity: "Prince, I like Princess Elilian very much, we will be concubines in the future, I wonder if I can come to see the princess?" ”

Najib didn't think much about it, and agreed very happily: "The princess likes Ling Mei, and this prince is naturally happy for her, and after I leave, Elilian can also have one more friend in Da Tuoba." It's just that Ling Mei is now going to start preparing for marriage, I'm afraid I can't go out of the post house, if the princess is not too troublesome, I welcome the princess to play for Ling Mei. ”

"Thank you, Prince Najib!" Liu Mengyan said.

Under Najib's send-off, the two left the post house and got into a carriage and went back.

Najib then turned around and walked inside, only to see the maidservant next to Elilian come forward.

"Prince Qiqi, the princess has something to say to the prince. Let the slave and maid come and invite. The maidservant said.

"Elilian!" Najib was delighted when she arrived at Elilian's house.

This is the first time that Elilian has taken the initiative to say that she wants to see him since he had a secret meeting with Tuoba Yeze and promised to marry Da Tuoba.

"Brother Huang." Elilian stepped forward and saluted, "You all go down." I'll talk to the royal brother for a while. ”

"Elilian, say whatever you want." Najib is in a good mood.

"Brother Huang, Elilian is getting married, and the dowry given to me by my father is far away, so I am afraid that it will not be delivered in time. Is the royal brother going to buy some dowry for Elilian? If she doesn't even have a dowry, Elilian will marry into the Xianwang Mansion, but I'm afraid she won't be able to suppress the concubines of the five princes. Elilian said.

Najib was stunned, he didn't expect Elilian to change her mind so quickly.

"Princess Yi just came to persuade Elilian for a long time. Elilian is now willing to marry Tuoba Yeze, the fifth prince of the Great Tuoba. Elilian naturally saw the suspicion in Najib's heart, so she explained.

Najib was startled for a few seconds, then smiled and extended her hands to hug Elilian.

"You don't have to worry about the dowry. The Brotherhood will buy it for you. Najib hugged Elilian.

"Brother Huang, are you going in person, or will you let Elilian go? But why don't you let your men buy it? Do they know what Elilyn likes? Elilian said coquettishly.

She is very favored by the king of Uzi, and although Najib is not her half-brother, he still dotes on her on weekdays.

"You want to buy it yourself?" Najib asked, holding her arms.

"Hmm. Isn't the royal brother worried about Elilian? The royal brother sent someone to follow Elilian. Elilian said with wide eyes.

Najib saw that she was natural, and she was a weak woman, and she couldn't run away if she wanted to.

"Okay, then I'll send someone to take you to buy. Elilian, as long as you are ready to marry with peace of mind, the royal brother will depend on you! Najib said.

"Good. Then tomorrow I will go to buy a dowry. Elilian smiled happily.

Najib nodded, then went back to his room.

At that moment, Liu Mengyan was walking with Tuoba Zeyan in a carriage to King Yi's mansion.

"How's the princess?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Tuoba Zeyan seemed to be thinking about something, and asked.

"Sure enough, as Hanyue said. I can't imagine that the fifth brother of His Royal Highness can even think of such a method. I'm afraid it's also a helpless move in a hurry. After all, Princess Elilian fell in love with Her Highness at first sight! Liu Mengyan said.

"Is the princess jealous?" Tuoba Zeyan curled her chin and said.

"The concubine is happy. His Royal Highness can get the love of so many women, which proves how charming His Highness is. The concubine can marry His Royal Highness, and I don't know how many women behind it are jealous of the concubine! Liu Mengyan curled her lips and said.

Tuoba Zeyan couldn't help but bow his head, wanting to ......

"Your Highness, the concubine is thinking about how to help Princess Elilian!" Liu Mengyan turned her face away and refused to let him succeed.

"The fifth brother is thoughtful, and he has always been conceited that the queen has raised, so he has done such things. Princess Elilian was humiliated, and her royal brother could tolerate it. "Perhaps the terms they negotiated between them were enough to make my father and the king of Uzi compromise." ”

"This is what the concubine is most worried about. I'm just afraid that Princess Elilian will escape back, but what awaits her is the fate of her relatives. Liu Mengyan said.

"The princess is wise!" Tuoba Ze said.

"It's not that the concubine is wise, but the concubine sighs that most of a woman's life is in the hands of a man. However, Elilian's sibling Dahui should be able to help her. Your Highness, we have to think of a way to send Princess Elilian back. At least you can stall for time. Liu Mengyan hid the worry on her face.

"Perhaps, the third marriage is an opportunity." Tuoba Ze said.

Liu Mengyan glanced at him in surprise, and then said, "Why haven't you heard any news from the concubine." ”

"My father just decided. It has not yet been announced. It is estimated that it will be in the next day or two. Tuoba Ze said.

"Sister Fu's matter, has there not been a conclusion yet? Who kidnapped her? Liu Mengyan said.

Tuoba Zeyan shook his head and said, "The crown princess, the third, the fourth, and the fifth, all of them are possible. ”

"The crown princess?" Liu Mengyan heard someone she didn't expect, and said in surprise.

"The crown princess has always been afraid of the concubines around the prince. So far, the crown prince has no heirs. The Fu family had a side concubine, and the crown princess was afraid of her in the first place. Tuoba Ze said.

Liu Ruli only felt a chill in her back, and she was speechless for a while, and fell into Tuoba Zeyan's arms and closed her eyes.

"His Royal Highness is from the Prince's side. What if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not worthy of His Royal Highness's attachment? She said suddenly, still with her eyes closed.

Tuoba Zeyan was silent for a long time.

"Self-preservation is the mother's consistent way of doing things. Originally, this was what the main hall had thought. But just since I married the princess, I felt that it was not enough to protect myself. The temple will also have children with you, and the temple does not want them to be insecure in the future. Tuoba Ze said.

"Has Your Highness ever thought that you don't depend on anyone, only on yourself?" Liu Mengyan said.

"What does the princess mean to call the palace self-reliant?" Tuoba Ze said.

"If Your Highness doesn't have such a heart, then don't get involved in this matter. Once others find out that His Highness has helped Princess Elilian, His Highness will not want to stay out of the world in the future. Liu Mengyan opened her eyes, sat up straight, and looked at Tuoba Zeyan.

"Is the princess questioning the main hall?" Tuoba Zeyan sank his face and said.

"The concubine is reminding His Highness. After all, His Royal Highness is also surnamed Tuoba, and Yan'er wanted to help Elilian, but she went against the five princes. Liu Mengyan said.

"If the princess doesn't trust the main hall, how can she tell this to the main hall?" Tuoba Zeyan suppressed her and said.

"The concubine body believes in His Highness, but the concubine body does not know His Highness's mind." Liu Mengyan said.

"The main hall is naturally in touch with you. If the princess wants the palace to fight, the palace will naturally fight. But the main palace did not like what the princess had just said to the main hall! Tuoba Ze spoke, and lowered his mouth fiercely, grabbing the delicate lips.

……

"Your Highness, King Yi's Mansion has arrived. Your Royal Highness always has to let the concubine tidy up her appearance, otherwise what will she look like when you get off the car later? Liu Mengyan said.

"The next time the princess dares to touch the reverse scales of the palace, the palace will never let it go so easily." Tuoba Zeyan sat up straight, let go of her, and said.

The carriage arrived at King Yi's mansion, and the two went back to their respective courtyards.

When Liu Mengyan returned to Guilan Courtyard, she saw Yunmo coming in with a dress.

"This is the clothes that the slave and maid have prepared for the master, can the master take a look?"

It was a cherry blossom pink skirt with a champagne-colored belt.

"What are you going to do with your clothes?" Liu Mengyan asked puzzled.

"It's the words that the princess went out in the morning, and the people from Sanfu's father-in-law came to pass it. It was said that His Highness asked him to prepare a set of good clothes. said that the princess would need it immediately. Yunmo was puzzled.

She thought Liu Mengyan should know.

Liu Mengyan thought about it, probably for the wedding of the three princes.

"That's it." She said, and then asked Bitong Qiuyun to take off her clothes and jewelry, and go to bed to rest.
