Because Xiao Zhan was detained, many people couldn't sleep that night.

On the side of the post house, as soon as the envoys and officials of the Southern Dynasty returned, they all began to pack up their things and prepare to leave Luoyang. They thought very thoroughly, if the Wei Dynasty court was really ready to embarrass them, they would either be driven away, or they would slip away by themselves, and they would always have to leave, so it was better to pack up their things and prepare first. As for the plan for this mission, they don't care at all, and the most important thing is to save their lives.

At this time, some people in Luoyang who were secretly in the power were also very entangled, Xiao Zhan entered the palace but did not come out, and was detained by the Wei Dynasty, which would mean that the Wei Dynasty court took the lead in detaining Xiao Zhan. The political effect brought by it is immeasurable. Some people are also unable to carry out their tasks.

This included the Southern Dynasty assassins who wanted to assassinate Xiao Zhan.

Han Jian stayed in the palace for one night, which was also a rare time when he was alone with Yang Rui, and in the second half of the night, Han Jian got up early to get dressed and leave the palace. Han Jian knew that this was an extraordinary time, and many people were staring at the Luoyang Palace, and if he didn't leave the palace all night, he would still be speculated by people after all.

"Let's go? Don't sleep much? Yang Rui didn't get up, but was in the quilt.

Although it is not winter, it is only spring, and when it is warm and cold, the weather is also very cold in the second half of the night. Her body is not very good, so she can only watch Han Jian dress. Originally, Hui'er could serve recently, but Yang Rui was a little wary of Hui'er after all, and didn't want this little girl to rob her husband.

"If you don't go, you're leaving." Han Jian tidied up his clothes and said while putting on his boots, "It will be very busy in the morning, and the military affairs side and the affairs of the Southern Dynasty will be a little tricky." Rui'er, you go to sleep first, too. Maybe you won't be idle today either. ”

Yang Rui sighed lightly: "Now that I think about it, it's very tiring to worry about so many things in the court. As if complaining, she said with a straight face, "As soon as there is news from the assassins of the Southern Dynasty, they will directly send someone to inform them." The concubine didn't want to be kept in the dark all the time. ”

"Hmm." Han Jian nodded and said, "Then I'll leave the palace first." Wait until something happens to enter the palace. ”

Now there are still many opportunities to talk between Han Jian and Yang Rui, after all, Yang Rui is still in Luoyang, as long as he wants to talk to Han Jian, he can enter the palace at any time.

Yang Rui didn't come out to send it, but asked Hui'er to lead the way to send Han Jian out of the palace with a lantern, and Han Jian was useless, and went directly out of Yang Rui's dormitory. The reason why he didn't let Hui'er send him off was mainly because he still had to go to Xiao Zhan's side to "visit". was brought back by Hui'er to chew the root of his tongue, Yang Rui will be hearty after all.

Out of the inner garden of the palace, Han Jian went directly to the side hall where Xiao Zhan was temporarily detained, and the side hall direction was originally the residence where Yang Yu and Yang Xi often lived in the palace, but now the two of them are no longer in Luoyang, and even the palace is empty. If it weren't for Xiao Zhan living in this day, this place would have not been inhabited for a long time.

When I arrived, there were quite a few guards patrolling outside. The main reason is that Han Jian had told him before that he wanted to protect Xiao Zhan and not let her have any accidents.

"Young boy. There's still a light on inside, do you want to send someone to pass it on first? A guard came over and saluted Han Jian and asked.

Han Jian shook his head with a smile and said, "No." I believe that Princess Yongdan has not gone to bed at this time, this is our own place, so there is no need to report it. ”

The guards didn't speak, and led Han Jian to the gate of the palace. Han Jian had only been to this palace once before, and he was not very familiar with the surrounding terrain. When I arrived at the gate of the palace, I heard a lamenting sound coming from inside. Han Jian paused, but heard Xiao Zhan's voice coming: "Who is outside?" ”

After all, Xiao Zhan is good at martial arts, although he is not a martial arts master, but he has also practiced some internal skills. But it's all superficial. When Han Jian walked towards the door, he neither deliberately made the sound of his footsteps faint, nor did he close his breath, so it was no wonder that Xiao Zhan would notice his arrival.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, can you come in and speak?" When Han Jian entered the door, he still asked first.

"It turned out to be the King of the East." Xiao Zhan sighed, "Please come in." ”

Han Jian pushed open the door and went inside.

Facing the door, it is not a bedroom, but a small hall, and there is a curtain between it and the bedroom inside, this room was once Yang Xi's residence, the yard is quiet and Yang Xi likes some flowers and plants, and even the house is very elegant. Han Jian used to always think that Yang Xi was more like a quiet girl, and even her personality was very similar.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you are polite."

Entering the hall, Han Jian saw Xiao Zhan sitting on a chair with a pot of tea next to him, but Han Jian knew that the tea in it must be cold, but he didn't know if Xiao Zhan had drunk it. At this time, Xiao Zhan's mind should not be on sleep at all, and the excessive worry in her heart has already made her feel that the night is long and she doesn't know what to do.

"The East King is polite. Have a seat. Xiao Zhan gestured to the chair very politely, but he seemed to remember, and said, "I forgot that this is the palace of the Northern Dynasty, but it made the king of the east smile." ”

Han Jian said with a smile: "What did the princess say, since the princess is temporarily staying here, the princess can also treat it as if she is at home here, and the guest is as she pleases, if the princess feels that it is inconvenient to talk here, it is the same to say it in another place." ”

Xiao Zhan shook his head slightly and said, "No need, the East King has something to say." But did the king get the assassin who was going to assassinate me? ”

Han Jian shook his head slightly and said, "There is no news for the time being." ”

Speaking of this, Han Jian could obviously feel that Xiao Zhan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Han Jian also suddenly realized in his heart, Xiao Zhan didn't want everyone to betray her relatives, originally she still had some expectations for Zhu Tongjing, and felt that Zhu Tongjing would probably consider it from her standpoint. But Xiao Zhan is not a stupid person after all, when she was appointed as an envoy to the Wei Dynasty, she already felt that she would be sent to a place far away from the core of the imperial court, and Zhu Tongjing's acquiescence was the basis for all parties to reach an agreement. Zhu Tongjing is no longer trustworthy to her.

"Then the king of the east is here, but what else do you have to say?" Xiao Zhan said, "I'm also very tired, if Dongwang doesn't have too important things, I want to go and sleep some, after all, there are still many things to do tomorrow." ”

Han Jian smiled and said, "Does the princess think that she seems to have come here as if she was fine?" ”

Xiao Zhan was silent for a moment, she knew very well that Han Jian had nothing to do but went to the Three Treasures Palace, but she felt that she had nothing to say to Han Jian. They are two people, and they have nothing in common about political interests, so it is useless to say anything.

Han Jian continued: "Does the princess feel like she has betrayed her relatives? ”

Xiao Zhan smiled helplessly, that look had betrayed her heart. In fact, when Han Jian named the assassin, Xiao Zhan probably knew that Zhu Tongjing had really betrayed her this time, but she still had some expectations, thinking that it might be the King of the East who was sowing discord, although she herself began to disbelieve that it was true. Because there are some things that she can't help but believe.

Han Jian said: "On that day, the Southern Dynasty was in turmoil, Xie Dang plotted to usurp the throne, and the princess turned the tide for the queen mother. ”

The last sentence also touched on Xiao Zhan's sadness.

Indeed, because she was a woman, that is, she was talented, and in the end, when her father died, the throne was not passed to her. Yiqiē is just because she is a woman, but she asks herself that some things are not necessarily worse than a man.

Han Jian said again: "What are the plans of the princess to go back this time?" ”

Xiao Zhan was already silent and didn't speak, but when he heard this, he glanced up at Han Jian and said, "Will the East King let me go back?" ”

"The princess is joking. Although the Southern Dynasty detained the crown prince of our dynasty, this is not the princess after all, there is a debtor and a master, and he is a person with clear grievances, and he will not be angry with the princess. Han Jian was very gracious and pleaded guilty.

Han Jian's words made Xiao Zhan appreciate it a little.

If a man is courteous to a woman all the time, she will look down on her, because all men do. On the contrary, a man first makes a bad one, and then generously admits it, which shows that he has bearing.

"What Dongwang said is right, the relationship between Master Zhu and my mother back then is unclear, this kind of thing has long been circulated among the people, although many people don't want to believe it, but what can I say?" Xiao Zhan smiled helplessly.

Han Jianxin said that Xiao Zhan's words were also very open, and even the relationship between her mother and Zhu Tongjing was not shy about it, what kind of courage it was to say it. However, this also shows that Xiao Zhan is already extremely disappointed in these two people in his heart, so he will say so. Zhu Tongjing was originally a "villain" who relied on nepotism and a private relationship with her mother to gradually climb to a high position, and it seems that she can feel better in her heart when she says so.

Han Jian did not continue to gloat, this is Xiao Zhan's family matter, even if Xiao Zhan mentions it, it is inconvenient for him to add fuel and vinegar. How to say, Empress Dowager He is also Xiao Zhan's mother, breaking bones and tendons.

Han Jian said: "The princess hasn't answered the previous question yet. ”

"The king of the east asked me what I was going to do when I went back, and what else could I do? Now the queen mother has long cared about me, above the court, I'm afraid no one will care about my thoughts anymore, even the master Zhu, now he also regards me as a burden, but it is better to stay in Luoyang, what does the king of the east think? Xiao Zhan finally looked at Han Jian and said.

Han Jian shook his head and said, "The princess doesn't have to be like this, in fact, ...... The princess should have thought that at the moment of the Southern Dynasty, there are still many people who are yearning for the princess. ”

Xiao Zhan only thought that Han Jian was comforting himself, smiled, and didn't say anything.

Han Jian took out a letter from his bosom and said, "There is a letter here, princess, please know it when you look at it." In fact, I knew that someone was going to assassinate the princess, and it was also because of this letter. ”

As he spoke, Han Jian handed the letter over. Originally, Xiao Zhan didn't take it seriously, and there were many people from the Northern Dynasties in the Southern Dynasties, so it was not unusual to investigate what to report to the Eastern King. But when she saw the contents of the letter, she stopped thinking so. This letter was sent from the Hui Wangfu of the Southern Dynasty, and the name was written by King Hui, which was somewhat obscure, and it should be to avoid some things, after all, there was still a gap between the two dynasties, and King Hui did not want to hype up what to do with the Northern Dynasty.

In the letter, a number of things about the Assassins were mentioned. It also includes the meaning of protecting Xiao Zhan. (To be continued......)
