Before this voice started, Ruan Biyun had already rushed out, and her soft voice was crying: "Your Highness! ”

Everyone was stunned.

His Royal Highness King Rui has come down.

In this way, wouldn't Miss Ruan be unlucky?

Suddenly, many people looked at Ruan Qingzhi with worry and sympathy, but some people had other thoughts.

In case of.

What if what she just said was true?

King Rui and the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion actually did not officially talk about marriage. If this phoenix life is changed at this juncture, what choice will King Rui make?

Without waiting for everyone to speculate for too long, Ling Xiao had already stepped in, pointed at Ruan Qingzhi, and ordered the servants: "Take it!" ”

More than a dozen guards from the Rui Wang's Mansion immediately rushed up.

Nguyen Van Trung stood still. The old lady stood up and stopped talking.

Ruan Qingzhi turned to look at Ling Xiao and smiled: "Yo, His Royal Highness King Rui!" Just in time for my grandmother's birthday, you came to raid the house? Even if you are the prince, the Prime Minister's Mansion is not something that can be copied casually, have you brought the holy decree? ”

Ling Xiao clenched his long sword and looked cold: "This king does not raid his house." This king came to congratulate Mrs. Ruan on her birthday, and by the way, to help the Ruan family eradicate a demon. ”

"Haha......" Ruan Qingzhi laughed, "Why is it that His Royal Highness King Rui, the crown prince can't be a monk, and he has become a Taoist priest instead?" Then you should change to a peachwood sword! ”

It's a not-so-flattering joke. The expression on Ling Xiao's face remained unchanged, and the bruises at the corners of his eyes and the scabs on both sides looked even more hideous.

His guards ignored nothing and rushed straight up to form a semicircle and blocked Ruan Qingzhi against the wall.

Ruan Qingzhi raised his feet and jumped on the windowsill.

Ruan Biyun immediately screamed: "Be careful, she has to run!" ”

However, Ruan Qingzhi didn't run, she just sat down on the windowsill, her long skirt swaying with her legs, very leisurely.

So Ruan Biyun's scream was abrupt and ridiculous. She blushed, slowly raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes: "Sister, grandmother's good day, you don't mess around anymore." Your Highness will not embarrass you, as long as you make things clear......"

"I've made it clear," Ruan Qingzhi shook his neck, "The truth is that you are a fake phoenix and I am a real phoenix, you robbed me of something, and now I want to get it back." ”

After speaking, she looked back at the window again, and added: "The white rainbow is the proof." ”

"Sure enough, it's a demon!" Ling Xiao gritted his teeth and ordered again: "Kill!" ”

It's too lazy to catch it. Of course, killing her is also a hundred ways, and the reason is very good, and the Ruan family can't say anything.

The only problem is that Nguyen Thanh Chi is not happy to die.

She jerked out her dagger and jumped off the ledge.

At the same time, the long sword in Ye Han's hand had already pressed against Ruan Biyun's neck.

Even Ruan Qingzhi didn't expect this move. She looked at the guards who suddenly looked like they were frozen, and felt a little ridiculous that she was holding a dagger and preparing to fight desperately.

Of course, no one laughed at this time, and the hall was full of stagnancy.

The night cold opened his mouth:

"Second Miss, I wanted to kill you for a long time, but the eldest lady kept stopping me, I can't bear to see her embarrassed to spare your life."

"The eldest lady said that the real phoenix will not die easily."

"You might as well guess, if I go down with this sword, will you die?"

After three sentences, the hall was still eerily quiet.

Ruan Bijun did not answer. She froze and trembled with fright.

She didn't know if the woman who was destined to die easily, but she knew that at this moment, the cold blade of the long sword in Ye Han's hand was under her neck.

Slightly cool, itchy.

It was delicate skin that had been cut. As long as Ye Han's hand is a little harder, it will ......

King Rui Ling Xiao was close at hand, but he couldn't save her.

Originally, her life and death were a matter bigger than the sky for the Prime Minister. But now, I'm afraid it's not necessarily possible.

Ruan Biyun's face was as white as paper, and her voice trembled like a withered leaf in the wind: "Sister, sister, you let him stop......"

Ruan Qingzhi looked at her and didn't speak.

Ruan Biyun waited for a moment, and then burst into tears: "Sister, do you really want the minions to kill me?" When I die, the world will only say that you are murderous, that you are fierce and vicious, even if you rob me of my identity, you will never be justified! ”

Ye Han was irritated when he heard the cry, and the blade of his sword pressed down again, signaling to Ruan Qingzhi with his eyes.

Ruan Qingzhi hesitated for a long time and shook his head: "No." ”

"You!" The night was cold and urgent.

Ruan Qingzhi sighed, scared away the guards of the Rui Wang's Mansion who blocked the way with his gaze, and sighed: "I really want Ye Han to give it a try." But, Yun'er, I can't bear it. ”

Ruan Biyun immediately put away her tears, and the corners of her lips curled up to reveal a somewhat sad smile: "Sister, I know...... In the face of our sisters' affection, what is the life of a phoenix or not...... My sister wants to be a phoenix, and I will let you be. ”

"You misunderstood," Ruan Qingzhi retorted earnestly, "I'm not here for this. ”

Ruan Biyun's smile suddenly froze again, and she gritted her teeth and listened to Ruan Qingzhi say: "Because I know that you are a liar and a thief." I'm afraid of your blood, and I've dirty the sword of the cold night. ”

There were a few chuckles in the otherwise silent hall, but of course the children couldn't help it.

Ye Han took the long sword in his hand and turned it to face Ruan Qingzhi: "Miss, my sword is not afraid of getting dirty." ”

He's still stumbling.

Ruan Qingzhi was a little annoyed: "Why are you disobedient!" If I say no, I won't! You let her go! ”

Ye Han was also annoyed when he heard this, and the long sword in his hand was put away.

Ruan Biyun only felt a cold light flash under her neck, which frightened her to tear her throat and let out a scream.

Then I found myself safe.

Ling Xiao immediately took her behind him, and at the same time ordered the guards again: "Kill that demon girl!" ”

Ye Han put away his sword and said coldly to Ruan Qingzhi: "See? You remember that she is your sister and are reluctant to kill her, but people don't care about that! ”

Ruan Qingzhi turned around and confronted the guards with a dagger, and said casually: "So I am right, and she is evil." I have a conscience, she doesn't. ”

As soon as these words came out, Ruan Biyun, who was about to plead with Ling Xiao on her behalf, closed her mouth again.

The onlookers crowded behind the table didn't know what to say.

This girl's behavior is really incomprehensible. Every time others just start to think of her as a good person, she always says a few weird words at the right time to solidify her image as a bad person.

The guards of the Rui Wang's Mansion have long been unable to bear it. At this moment, since this woman is going to seek death herself, of course they are not too polite.

So a whole circle of bright long knives slashed at Ruan Qingzhi.

Ye Han finally couldn't help but raise his sword and kill in, protecting Ruan Qingzhi behind him, and one person met more than a dozen long knives.

The hall turned into a battlefield in an instant, and all I could hear in my ears was the sound of clanging and screaming pain, and the cold light was dazzling.

Ling Xiao escorted Ruan Biyun out of the battle circle, looking at Ye Han intently, his expression gradually solemn.

Ruan Wenzhong stood at the door, gritted his teeth and said to the guards: "Don't fall in love with the war, kill that evil obstacle first!" ”

That's a bit of a no-brainer. The ladies and ladies who were watching thought to themselves.

"Tiger poison doesn't eat children, Ruan Xiangye really doesn't have any affection for this eldest daughter!"

Most people just think about this sentence in their hearts, but they didn't expect someone to say it out loud.

Ruan Wenzhong turned his head suddenly, looked at the elegant young man standing outside the door, was stunned, and then hurriedly knelt down: "His Royal Highness King Jin!" ”

The person who came was none other than the fifth prince, King Ling Shuang of Jin.

Chongyang has passed, the weather is slightly cold, but he still holds a folding fan in his hand, and his long body is jade and polite.

It's just that the words that come out of his mouth are not very elegant, but a little aggressive: "Ruan Xiang, are you in such a hurry to kill your eldest daughter, is it to facilitate the second young lady to occupy the magpie's nest, or is it to cut the grass and eradicate the roots?" ”

"What?" Ruan Van Trung raised his head, and his face changed greatly.

Ling Shuang smiled slightly and looked at him with interest.

Ruan Wenzhong hurriedly lowered his head again, and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the goddaughter of Weichen has no way to make the house uneasy now, so I have to ask His Royal Highness King Rui to help clean up the door, and it has nothing to do with others." ”

Especially if it has nothing to do with you, His Royal Highness King Jin.

Ling Shuang didn't care about the soft nails in this sentence. He slowly walked up to Ruan Qingzhi and glanced at it with a smile: "You are the ...... Mr. Qiwu? ”

Ruan Qingzhi calmly saluted: "Fifth Highness." ”

"Not bad." Ling Shuang bowed his head and returned the salute, "No wonder my father is full of praise." ”

"Your Highness," Ruan Wenzhong hurriedly turned, "This woman is a demon in the minister's mansion, not Mr. Qiwu!" Taking advantage of the two highnesses to witness today, the minister is about to get rid of this trouble, so that she will not grow in the future and bring disaster to the world! ”

The smile on Ling Shuang's face gradually faded, and her eyebrows frowned slightly: "Ruan Xiang, this king is here with the fourth brother." The cause and effect of this matter, this Wang Shicai has heard clearly outside the door. ”

Ruan Wenzhong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "In this case, His Highness will definitely not stop ......"

"Wrong!" Ling Shuang's face sank, "Ruan Xiang, do you know what you're doing?" Xiangfu, the daughter of the phoenix, is related to the rise and fall of the Southern Qi Dynasty, how dare you make such a hasty decision? Aren't you afraid that you will kill the wrong one and ruin the rivers and mountains of Southern Qi? ”

"Fifth brother!" Rui Wang Ling Xiao couldn't bear it anymore, "Since you know the cause and effect, you should know who is messing around and reversing black and white!" Why, are you planning to protect this evil demon? ”

Ling Shuang shook the folding fan lightly and was not in a hurry: "Maybe the one you are protecting is the demon." ”

It's so straightforward.

Ling Xiao leaned on the Bogu shelf to stabilize his figure, still a little dazed with anger, "Are you confused by demons?" There has always been only one woman who has been destined for the phoenix, and the world has known it for fourteen years! ”

What is known to the world is not necessarily true. Everyone speculated that King Jin would probably refute it like this.

may also list some of the things that the two young ladies of the Ruan family have done to support their judgment.

However, Ling Shuang didn't do that.

He put away the folding fan and stood beside Ruan Qingzhi, and looked at King Rui with a smile in his eyebrows: "Fourth brother, do you dare to bet with me?" ”

"What?" Ling Xiao was a little confused.

Ling Shuang looked at him with a smile: "You and I will go together to ask my father for marriage." How about you marry Miss Ruan Er, and I marry Miss Ruan? ”

"Ahem......" Ruan Qingzhi choked on a mouthful of saliva, and his face suddenly turned red.

Ling Shuang subconsciously raised her hand to help her pat her back, but found that the masked man next to her had already taken the lead.

He smiled disappreciatively, and then looked at Ruan Wenzhong: "Ruan Xiang, do you think this proposal is good?" ”

Ruan Wenzhong was angry: "Your Highness, this discussion is not appropriate!" This evil obstacle is fateful, how dare the minister let her marry into the royal family! ”

"This king is not afraid!" The smile on Ling Shuang's face did not change, "This king believes that she is not a bad person, and this king believes that she will not be a murderer." This is the bet that this king wants to make with the fourth brother - one of our two brothers will always be killed by the daughter of the dead, and the other will of course marry the true phoenix monarch in the world as he wishes. Fourth brother, do you think it's wonderful? ”

Ling Xiao didn't answer for a long time.

Everyone present felt that His Royal Highness King Jin was probably crazy.

Now that the matter of establishing a prince has not yet been decided, it is undoubtedly taboo for him to expose his ambitions in public as a prince.

But not only did he say it, but he also directly said "reigning in the world", and he wanted to gamble with King Rui with his own life!

Is he so sure he can win?

No, he's so sure that Miss Ruan is the real phoenix?

Everyone suddenly thought of this, and their gazes at the Ruan sisters suddenly became more complicated.

This matter was already confusing enough. Now that King Jin has come over to mix, it will be even more chaotic.

Which is true and which is false!

Rui Wang Ling Xiao obviously thought of this as well, his face gradually changed, and he couldn't help but look down at Ruan Biyun in his arms.

He couldn't understand where the fifth brother's confidence came from. But the more confident the other party is, the more bottomless his heart becomes.

Will...... Really wrong?

Not only King Rui thought so, but everyone present began to think so. Even Ruan Wenzhong, looking at Ruan Qingzhi, his gaze was no longer just disgust, but gradually became a little more afraid.

In case of.

What if you get it wrong? What if Ruan Qingzhi is the real phoenix......

The hall became more and more silent, more and more quiet, until at last there was no sound.

The air seemed to freeze. Ye Han's hand gently stroked Ruan Qingzhi's back for the last time, and also retracted.

Time passed slowly bit by bit, and Ruan Biyun's sobs rang out.

Then there was a sneer from Ruan Qingzhi: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, what do you think of me?" ”

"Oh, I'm sorry," Ling Shuang turned to her, "This king knows that this is a bit abrupt, but the desire to marry is real." - May I ask Miss Ruan, would you like to be the princess of this king? ”

"I don't want to." Ruan Qingzhi gave him a blank look, as if he had asked a very stupid question.

Ling Frost stagnated.

When the sound of inhalation sounded around him, he asked unwillingly, "Why?" ”

"What, why?" Ruan Qingzhi looked at him in surprise, "Your Highness, this is the first time the folk girl has seen you today, right?" I haven't even seen whether you are round or flat, why do you agree to be your princess all of a sudden? ”

"But......" Ling Shuang frowned, then shook his head with a smile: "Why can't it?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi sneered, turned around and looked at him seriously: "Does Your Highness think that you have done me a great favor by mentioning the marriage at this moment, so I should be grateful to Dade and have to agree if I am busy?" ”

Ling Shuang looked at her and didn't answer, and the smile on her face deepened.

Ruan Qingzhi looked away, shook his sleeves and raised his head to look at everyone: "I am grateful to your Royal Highness King Jin for being willing to help me speak, but I don't really need it." I was originally a phoenix, I can solve this matter by myself, the ending is the same if you help me or not, you just help yourself. ”

Not again.

"This is really an unpleasant girl," everyone thought to themselves, "She must have deliberately offended everyone, right?" ”

Fortunately, Ling Shuang didn't seem to be annoyed. He was still smiling, with a gentlemanly demeanor: "Yes." You're right, I'm just helping myself. But you must marry someone, and it is better to marry me than to marry someone else. What do you think? ”

Ruan Qingzhi thought about it seriously and shook his head again: "I don't think it's a good time to talk about marriage. When I prove that I am true, it is not too late for you to come back and talk to me about it. ”

"You," Ling Shuang laughed, "what an interesting little girl!" ”

It's like a compliment. Ruan Qingzhi didn't feel happy, and of course he wasn't angry, he calmly bowed and was about to end the topic.

Such a behavior made everyone stunned again, and no one could see through what this little girl was thinking.

Ling Shuang glanced up at his fourth brother, and then looked at Ruan Wenzhong: "Ruan Xiang, Qingzhi is the person this king has a crush on, I hope you can help this king take good care of her, and don't let people kill her casually." ”

Ruan Van Trung looked at him and opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak.

Ling Shuang's gaze swept over Ruan Biyun, and then returned to his fourth brother's face: "Today is Old Madam Ruan's birthday banquet, the fourth brother rushed into the door to fight and kill, no matter what, can't you say it?" ”

Ling Xiao glared at him hatefully: "Have you made enough trouble!" ”

"Enough trouble," Ling Shuang replied seriously, "Fourth brother, you can accompany me to see my father." ”

Ling Xiao refused to answer his words, and his eyes locked on Ruan Qingzhi.

Ling Shuang took two steps forward, blocking his sight: "Fourth brother, you have already chosen the second miss, you have no chance to regret it." The eldest lady is the person I chose, you can't rob me. ”

"How much did you drink?" Ling Xiao grabbed his arm and shook it away, "Do you know how much trouble you will bring to the world if you protect that demon today!" ”

Ling Shuangwen was weak, but he was thrown away but quickly stood firmly, and did not stagger: "Then do you know how much disaster it will bring to the world if you kill it wrong!" ”

It doesn't make sense.

Ling Xiao finally realized that today's matter could not be resolved by arguments.

Many things are still unclear, and if they continue to argue like this, they will just talk back and forth.

He likes to do things first and then speak, but with Ling Shuang here, this "demon" can't be killed.

Ling Xiao stood with a dark face for a long time, and finally shook off Ruan Biyun's hand fiercely and shouted, "Go!" ”。

The attendants immediately followed him and walked out quickly. Everyone in the Ruan family hurriedly got up to send each other, but they couldn't catch up with him.

Ruan Biyun was left in place and stood in a daze, tears falling away, but she couldn't shout in her throat.

Ling Shuang didn't follow, but turned around and saluted Old Madam Ruan again: "Today, the old lady's birthday, but the imperial brother made such a fuss, and almost killed the eldest lady in public, which is really unusual. This king is here to make amends on behalf of the royal brother, and he will also tell his father about this matter clearly, and ask the old lady to calm her anger. ”

The old lady naturally got up and thanked her, and Ling Shuang asked her entourage to offer a birthday gift, and really said a few auspicious words.

The guests in the hall felt strange in their hearts, but they had to echo his words and make a few funny words, so the hall quickly enjoyed themselves.

After that, Ling Shuang looked at Ruan Qingzhi again: "The eldest lady is frightened. ”

Ruan Qingzhi couldn't guess what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he had to return the gift with a perfunctory gift.

Ye Han beside him suddenly let out a cold snort and muttered, "What is there to do!" ”

Ling Shuang didn't think it was angry when she heard it, and after laughing, she said "disturb", said goodbye and walked out.

He didn't go fast, and Nguyen Van Trung could have caught up with him to see him off. But he hesitated for a moment, only stood at the door and said "Congratulations to His Highness", and never took a step after that.

It was the old lady who took the juniors out of the second gate.

Then the crowd came back in confusion and took their seats.

At this time, the wine and food have already cooled down.

Even if it's not cold, no one can eat it. The hearts of the people were in turmoil, and they all felt as if something big was about to happen.

For the Ruan family, this feeling is stronger than others. At the moment, even the little maids serving the tea are a little cowardly, and there is a sense of panic that a catastrophe will come at any time.

Ruan Biyun didn't know when she had squatted down against the wall, looking dazed but stubborn.

Ruan Qingzhi stood against the other wall, calm to the point of almost indifference.

Ruan Wenzhong suddenly came back to his senses, and his eyes widened: "Evil obstacle! You-"

"Father," Ruan Qingzhi directly interrupted his roar, "please think twice." ”

Ruan Wenzhong took a deep breath and swallowed back the words that had not been spoken.

Ruan Qingzhi looked at him and smiled slightly: "That's right." Father, if you don't understand things for a while, you can think about it slowly, don't act recklessly, otherwise you will inevitably regret it in the future. ”

Ruan Wenzhong didn't want to listen to her lesson, so he stood stiff for a long time and suddenly bowed to the old lady: "Mother, my son will send this demon monk to Jingzhao Yamen for trial first, and the rest of the things ...... Take your time. ”

At this moment, the old lady's heart was also in a mess, and she nodded indiscriminately, even if she agreed.

- The sky is going to change now, who cares about that monk, who cares about the little maid who puts snakes and changes wine!

When Ruan Wenzhong also left, Ruan Qingzhi flicked his sleeves, walked to the chair next to the old lady and sat down, and greeted Ruan Biyun again: "Come to dinner!" Although the dish is a little cold, it is still delicious with the tea soup! ”

Ruan Bijun heard her voice, raised her head blankly and looked at it, and then still returned to her sluggish appearance.

The old lady coughed heavily: "Big sister, what are you doing!" ”

"I didn't make a fuss," Ruan Qingzhi said vaguely while instructing the little maid to tear a piece of duck meat for her: "What I want to do has been explained very clearly before." I know that my grandmother's heart is in turmoil at the moment, but it doesn't matter, grandmother, no matter what the final result is, Phoenix is a member of our Ruan family! ”

"Can this be the same!" The old lady was so angry that she almost dropped her chopsticks.

Ruan Qingzhi raised his head and looked at her seriously: "I don't know if it can be the same." But grandmother, I'm sure things will be better than they were before. ”

The old lady was upset and speechless, so the third lady Li hurriedly asked, "Big girl, what does His Royal Highness King Jin mean?" ”

"King Jin?" Ruan Qingzhi frowned, "He's probably drunk." ”
