King Xin touched the short beard on his chin and muttered, "She said yesterday that she wouldn't go to the wedding banquet, why did she suddenly change her mind?" ”

"When she went out today, she deliberately changed her clothes." Princess Xin thought for a while and said, "I was inexplicably asked to donate 1,000 taels of incense money for the Pufu Temple for her, she obviously didn't believe in these before." ”

King Xin suddenly thought of something, his face changed, and he asked, "Didn't the palace let anyone in in today?" ”

Princess Xin thought for a while, shook her head and said, "There are no guests today." ”

The expression on King Xin's face was a little regretful, and he said, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have let her go to Chen Guo in the first place!" ”

Princess Xin looked puzzled and asked, "What does this have to do with her going to Chen Kingdom?" ”

King Xin did not answer, frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, he said: "From tomorrow, the defense around the palace will be doubled!" ”

Speaking of defense, Princess Xin looked at him, frowned and asked, "What happened to the assassin Lan Lan just said?" ”

King Xin was speechless for a while, and when he saw her serious expression, he sighed, and had no choice but to tell her what happened today.

"You don't know how dangerous this capital is." Princess Xin looked at him and said solemnly: "You are not allowed to go out alone in the future!" ”

King Shin nodded and said, "I see." ”

Princess Xin said: "If you have the opportunity, thank that young man well, otherwise, Lan Lan and I will not be able to see you today." ”

King Xin said: "I have already asked people to check." ”

Princess Xin was silent for a moment before grabbing his hand and saying, "Isn't it good to be an idle prince, why do you want to be a regent, the prince hates you so much, if you wait for him to ascend the throne, how can we have a good life?" ”

"Don't worry." King Xin patted her hand and said, "No matter what, I won't let you and Lan Lan be wronged." ”

After a long time, he walked out of the room, and a figure who had been waiting outside the door for a long time followed behind him, and whispered: "Lord Wang, the envoy of the Wanyan Department seems to have reached some kind of deal with the prince, and the prince has already made some moves." ”

King Shin put his hands behind his back, looked into the distance, and said, "Then let's see what he plans to do." ”

The figure stood behind King Shin and looked up to see the figure in front of him, which was not very tall, but in his eyes, it seemed to be a giant as tall as a mountain.

In fact, in front of him, there is indeed a giant, and with just one word from him, he can immediately become the heaven of this Chu country.

Whether it is the court or the people, there are countless people waiting for his words, but they have not waited so far.

Splendid Palace.

Tang Ning and Li Tianlan were separated, and the curfew was approaching, and when they returned to the Splendid Palace, the last street cleaning drum had already sounded.

"Lord Tang."

The guard at the door bowed, and after nodding his head, he walked into his room, and saw a figure wandering in the room, and said in surprise: "Princess, why haven't you rested yet?" ”

"You're back." When Zhao Man saw him come in, he walked over with some joy, handed him a few pastries on the table, and said, "You try this, this is the pastry of Chu State, it is delicious, you are not here in the afternoon, I left half of it for you." ”

She directly reached out and fed a piece, Tang Ning opened his mouth a little stunned, Zhao Man sent the pastry to his mouth, and asked, "How is it, is it delicious?" ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "It's delicious." ”

"I knew you'd like it too." She smiled, her eyes curved, and she said happily, "I'll ask them to do more tomorrow and send you one too." ”

The girl's mind is really hard to guess, I haven't seen him for a year, His Royal Highness the county lord just took him to eat a bowl of noodles, and the princess waited in his room so late, just to let him taste the pastries of Chu State.

When Zhao Man was sent back to sleep and returned to his room again, Tang Ning closed the door, poured a cup of tea, and sat at the table.

Although he seems to be quite idle in the past two days, he is actually not so idle.

Before the situation was clear, there was no definite plan for how to solve Zhao Man's matter and how to solve Li Tianlan's matter, and the situation in Chu was far more complicated than he had imagined before.

The errand given to him by Emperor Chen was not as simple as a marriage proposal.

He took an envelope from his bosom and opened it.

Nothing was written on the envelope, and inside the envelope was a piece of paper with only two words on it.

Faith King.

This was given to him by Fang Zhe before leaving.

Two very simple words, but they carry great weight, the chaos of the Chu State actually originated from the crown prince and the king of Xin.

Although the crown prince is the prince, King Xin is not other idle princes, he is the regent, he is famous in the court, the officials are convinced, the people and the court, so that King Xin replaces the prince in an endless stream.

If anyone is the crown prince, under such pressure, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep steadily, and I can't wait to get rid of the king and hurry up.

And even if King Xin does not have the heart to seize the throne, there are some things that he can't help himself, if the prince ascends the throne, how can he tolerate a prince riding on his head, and King Xin's family will not end well.

Before these things were clear, the envoys of the Chen State and the envoys of the grassland came to the Chu State again, which can be described as chaos on top of chaos, in this case, smart people will not act rashly, but will brake with static, respond to all changes with unchanged, and wait for the other party to show their flaws first.

If Tang Ning's expectation is good, the little barbarian girl and her party should be the messenger from the grassland, quite a big tribe, a thousand horses want to be a dowry to marry the county lord, even if no one cares about them, they have successfully muddied the pool of water in the Chu State.

Somewhere post house.

A man shouted loudly: "Why do Chen Guoren live in a big garden, we can only live in a small post house, I am a prairie, sooner or later I have to set foot here......"

"Shut up." The middle-aged woman glanced at him, and he immediately closed his mouth.

Wan Yan Yan walked up to the woman and asked, "Master, why are we helping the prince of Chu, everyone outside says that he is a big straw bale......"

The middle-aged woman looked at her and said: "It is much better to be an emperor than to be an emperor with a straw bag, although he is a waste, he is also a useful waste, once King Xin becomes an emperor, the grassland will be dangerous." ”

After Yan Yan thought about it, she stuck out her tongue, and secretly said that the Han people are really cunning, that guy is like this, and so is the master, what they think of, she can't think of it at all.

She thought for a moment and asked, "So what should we do now?" ”

The middle-aged woman stood up and said, "Wait and see." ”

……

Last night, he made an appointment with Li Tianlan for today, and after Tang Ning had lunch, he set off from the Splendid Palace.

From the Splendid Palace to the Xinwang Mansion, there is still a long distance.

"Have you heard, the prince was assassinated in the morning!"

"What, really?"

"What I saw with my own eyes, there can still be fake, just on the streets, even the archers are used, the prince's guards have been killed and wounded, if they hadn't fought to save each other, I'm afraid the prince would not have just suffered a little minor injury......"

"Who is so bold that he dares to assassinate the prince on the streets of Kyoto!"

……

Hearing the sound of the two people discussing on the roadside stall, Tang Ning paused and looked over.

At the tea stall, a person said mysteriously: "Who else can there be, think about it, who is the most beneficial to the prince when he dies?" ”

The other thought for a while and muttered: "Could it be ......, it's a pity, it's a pity, if the prince is assassinated, won't the prince be able to be the ......emperor?"

"Be quiet, be heard, you can't cut off a few heads."

Tang Ning was also stunned, the prince was assassinated in the morning and was injured, the security of Kyoto in this Chu State is really so bad?

It's a pity that he was only slightly injured, otherwise he could go back to the Splendid Palace now, pack up his things, and take Zhao Yu back to China.

But don't be discouraged, this time I was slightly injured, and next time it may not be, Zhao Hao snatched the plan, it may not be possible to win without a bloody battle.

He walked to the vicinity of King Xin's mansion, went around to the place where he jumped off the wall yesterday, and was about to climb in, when he couldn't help but be stunned.

Beneath the wall, a column of guards stood there, scanning the surroundings with fierce eyes, and under such circumstances, it was absolutely impossible for him to slip into it without noticing.

Downing only came closer, and several eyes fell on him.

One of the guards stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?" ”

"Passing by." Downing replied and walked forward.

Halfway through, he stopped again, looked in the direction of the wall, and whispered, "Cuckoo, cuckoo......"

If she is familiar with the two books "The Story of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion", she will know the meaning of this code.

He was not disappointed, and as his voice fell, a figure flew out of the wall.

Seeing the county lord and the young man gradually moving away, one of the guards finally came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Quick, go back and tell the prince that the county lord and a man have run away!" ”
