Xiao Jian ordered the Nangong guards and attendants to follow from afar and stop outside Yunyuan, and he sent Zhao Yun back to Yunyuan Songchao alone.

Zhao Yun looked straight at Jian Jian and asked, "Jane, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, you are also leaving?" "His eyes are clear, like a fawn in the woods.

"yes, yes. If what Hua Junshou said is true, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will go to Fushui County. Xiao Jian nodded.

Zhao Yun's eyes darkened a little, and he said softly: "So, what Hua Junshou said will be false?" ”

Xiao Jian scraped Zhao Yun's nose with his hand and said, "It shouldn't be." I think what Hua Junshou said should be true. ”

Zhao Yun said: "Oh. Really, really. So, Jane, shall I go with you to the water? Is it good? ”

Xiao Jian smiled: "Of course it's good." When you turn sixteen, you can return to the country of Fushui. ”

Zhao Yun tilted his head and said, "No!" I don't want to go that late. I want to go with you to Fushui County after the Mid-Autumn Festival! Go along. ”

"Why?"

"I don't want to leave you. I don't want to be alone in the Holy Capital. Zhao Yun pouted, like a wronged child, and muttered, his eyes filled with tears.

Xiao Jian looked at Zhao Yun and stayed for a while, and when Zhao Yun's tears could no longer be controlled and rolled down his cheeks, Xiao Jian gently wiped away Zhao Yun's tears with his hands, held Zhao Yun's face with both hands, and said, "Yun, I don't want to leave you either, and I don't want to put you alone in the holy capital." ”

Zhao Yun burst into tears and smiled, and said, "Then you go and beg Your Majesty and the Queen Mother to take me back to the Fushui County." ”

Xiao Jian's face showed embarrassment, and said, "This is not good. ”

Zhao Yundao: "Why is this? Your Majesty and the Queen Mother love you so much. ”

Xiao Jian gently patted Zhao Yun's little face and said, "You don't understand." This has nothing to do with whether you are pampered or not, this is politics and politics. Yes, the division of power and co-governance of the county king and the county is the most important element in the father's new policy, and the law of the division of power and co-governance of the county king and the county is the most wary of the joint efforts of the county king and the county guard. If I go to plead with my father and mother to bring you back to the county of Fushui, not only will it not succeed, on the contrary, it is very likely to arouse the suspicion of my father, and at that time, not only will you not be able to return to the emperor, but it is also very likely that Lord Lingzun will be transferred by the imperial court to another county to be a county guard, and when the time comes, it will be even more difficult for us to meet again. ”

Zhao Yun shed tears again and said, "Then what should I do?" So what can I do? In this case, is there no way? ”

Xiao Jian said: "Don't worry. It's not impossible. However, I'm afraid I'll have to worry you to do it yourself. Allow. Are you willing to take a fuss about this? ”

Zhao Yun wiped his tears and said, "As long as I can go to the water with you, I am willing, I am willing." What's the point of panicking?! ”

Xiao Jian said: "That's good." I'll give you an idea. You Feishu Lingzun, just say that the holy capital is too cold, you are extremely unwell, the pain is unbearable, and you need to go back to the water to recuperate. ”

Zhao Yun thought for a while and said, "Jane, you still have a way." I will write to my father today. ”

Xiao Jian knocked Zhao Yun's forehead and said, "You are really a little hairy child." When will this hairy and impatient energy get rid of? ”

Zhao Yun smirked and called for the boy to come in and grind ink cloth paper for himself.

Xiao Jian said: "You write first, I'll go back first." Princess Fuwan has returned to the palace, and I still have some aftermath to deal with. ”

Zhao Yun sat in front of the bookcase without raising his head and said, "Hmm." "It's a very familiar tone.

When Jian Jian returned to the Jian Courtyard, he found that a chamberlain from the Empress was waiting for him. When the chamberlain saw Xiao Jian coming in, he stepped forward and saluted: "Your Highness, the queen has a decree, please go to Changqiu Palace early tomorrow morning." ”

Xiao Jian said: "Okay." I know. You go back and reply to my mother on my behalf, and I'll go early tomorrow morning." After speaking, Xiao Jian suddenly thought of something, paused for a while, and asked, "When did Niangniang send you to deliver the decree?" ”

The waiter said: "Your Highness, Niangniang ordered the slave maid to deliver the decree before dinner. Niangniang said that if His Royal Highness is not in the Fushui Academy, there is no need to deliberately rush to find it, and it is not too late to wait for His Highness to come back and pass on the decree. Niangniang specially instructed not to make a noise, it is not a big deal, but I miss His Royal Highness and want to narrate. ”

Xiao Jian said: "Okay, you can go back." I know. I will go to the Changqiu Palace early tomorrow morning to serve the queen and have breakfast. ”

"Whoa."

Xiao Jian understood in her heart that the queen sent someone to find her, but she didn't let the chamberlain look for him anywhere else, and she also specially instructed that it was not a big deal. However, it's not a big deal, so why keep this chamberlain waiting here? Therefore, what Queen Yu said was just to hide people's eyes. There is only one true meaning: something big has happened. Xiao Jian thought: It should be that I will get married in advance after the Mid-Autumn Festival and go to Fushui in advance.

Xiao Jian is a person with strict self-discipline, and usually, at this time, he has already begun to take a bath and is ready to sleep. But there were too many things happening today, and the information obtained was incomplete, so Xiao Jian couldn't figure it out in her mind for the time being, and she didn't feel sleepy for a while, so she decided to go to the small garden in the Fushui Academy to relax.

Just about to go out, an attendant came in and reported: "Your Highness, Prince Hua Yun asks to see you." ”

Xiao Jian was very puzzled, Fang had just drunk and said goodbye to each other in Washington, and now it was late at night, and Hua Yun was in a hurry to do it in the Fushui Academy? However, since Hua Yun had already come, and he was a friend who had just drunk in someone's house, there was no reason to turn him away, so he said, "Then let Hua Gongzi come in." ”

He paced to the bottom of the porch and waited.

Hua Yun came from outside the door.

The moonlight was like water, and Xiao Jian stood under the corridor in the courtyard, standing with a long body, and the skin on his face exuded a faint glow as smooth as jade. There was a smile on his face, a noble and solemn smile that made people feel close but never dared to blaspheme, mysterious, light and powerful.

Hua Yun is a person who is used to laughing and is good at laughing, but every time he is by Xiao Jian's side, he always feels an invisible pressure. Where this pressure comes from, Hua Yun can't figure it out. However, Hua Yun himself felt strange that the feeling of pressure caused by Xiao Jian did not make him feel bored, on the contrary, this pressure made him feel a very peaceful and reliable sense of comfort in his heart. It's an amazing feeling.

"It's too far away, Mr. Hua." Xiao Jian said.

Hua Yun hurriedly walked forward, saluted briefly, and said, "I've seen Your Highness." Disturbing His Highness late at night, there is really something important to talk about. ”

Hua Yun's reply was so direct.

Xiao Jian found that Hua Yun's expression was extremely solemn, and he did look like he had something important to discuss. He said simply: "Come, let's talk in the palace." ”

Hua Yun was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and whispered: "Your Highness, this matter is very important. Can you go to the small garden behind Yunwon to talk? ”

Hua Yun has a lot of articles in this. These words show that Hua Yun is not even at ease with the attendants and palace maids in the Jian Courtyard. Going deeper, Hua Yun is actually not at ease with the emperor and the queen. What Hua Yun wanted to say was the most top-secret important thing that could only be said to Xiao Jian alone. But what could he say to himself? What could be a top-secret matter between them? Xiao Jian hesitated for a while, and suddenly had an epiphany, so he said, "Okay." Let's go. I'm going there too, too. ”

Xiao Jian said to the Nangong guards standing outside the door: "It's too hot in the hall, I and Hua Gongzi drank too much wine, and our bodies are very dry, let's go to the small garden to scatter wine, you don't have to follow." Hua Gongzi can protect me. ”

Nangong Guard was a little embarrassed, and he muttered but did not answer.

Xiao Jian smiled freely: "Hua Gongzi is also a Nangong guard, and he is a high-ranking Nangong guard, what else do you have to worry about." ”

Hua Yun answered: "Hua Yun will not disgrace his mission and protect His Highness." ”

Nangong Guard hesitated, pondered for a while, and finally said softly: "Huh." ”

The breeze in the small garden is gentle, and the flowers and trees are fragrant, which is already quite a bit of early autumn. Xiao Jian and Hua Yun came to the small pavilion in the middle of the wooden cloister and above the pool as they usually did.

Xiao Jian said first: "The earth in the holy capital is cold, the heat dissipates quickly, and autumn comes early, cooler than in the south. You see, standing on top of this pool, it feels a little cold now. ”

Hua Yun said: "Yes." In Liuchuan and Fushui, it is still very hot at this time. ”

Xiao Jian looked around, looked at Hua Yun and said, "Master Hua, let's get down to business." You must have something important to tell me about when you are so cautious, right? Before you say that, I want to remind you that there are all kinds of eyeliner in the Holy Capital all the time and everywhere, and you must be extremely cautious when you speak, and you must not say what you shouldn't say casually. Okay? ”

Xiao Jian's tone was very cold, but it was also extremely firm, which made Hua Yun couldn't help but be surprised. What he wants to say is related to the change of the throne and the struggle for the prince, and it is the most confidential and important. Hua Yun guessed that Xiao Jian might have guessed what he was going to say, so he reminded and forbade him. But at present, Hua's family was pulled into the whirlpool of competition for the prince by the Luo clan and the Dou clan and the emperor Qiqi, and the situation was extremely critical, and his father ordered him to come late at night to show Xiao Jian that his heart was a decision made in desperation and after careful consideration, and he must not disgrace his mission.

Hua Yun made up his mind, no matter how Jian Jian objected, he must say it today, and instead of going around in circles, it is better to explain it directly! So, he stepped forward and put it in Xiao Jian's ear, and said, "Now, the battle for the storage position is gradually getting hot, and the Hua clan is deeply involved, but it is all passive. My father decided that if His Royal Highness did not give up, the whole Hua clan would do his best to assist His Highness in ascending to the throne. ”

Xiao Jian's face did not change in the slightest, he thought for a while, and then said in an extremely low voice, "Why did you choose to assist me?" ”

Hua Yun said in a low voice, "Because if we assist anyone else, Hua will not be able to survive." ”

Xiao Jian was stunned and said, "Huh? Doesn't make sense! ”

Hua Yun's brain was racing, and he pondered for a moment and said: "My father said that Hua is the foundation of a businessman, and he has been doing ordinary business for more than 400 years, and now, he wants to be the first big business in the world!" ”

Jane didn't speak, and she didn't have any expression. He stood in the middle of the pavilion and stared at the pool in contemplation for a long, long time.

Hua Yun was quite knowledgeable, and stood by quietly without saying a word.

Suddenly, Xiao Jian asked in a low voice, "What else do you know?" ”

Hua Yun realized that this was the key to gaining Jian's trust, and even the only opportunity to quickly gain Jian's trust.

Hua Yun took another step forward, his mouth tightly pressed to Xiao Jian's ear, and said word by word: "The truth about the death of His Royal Highness's biological mother." ”

Jane's ears twitched, and her eyebrows twitched.

Xiao Jian turned his face, his nose almost touched Hua Yun's nose, and said, "I know." Come back to that. It's late at night, let's go back. ”

"Whoa."

Without saying a word, the two of them quickly left the garden.
