"Lord Wang, is this monk reliable?"

Nuha followed Xiao Wenxuan to the courtyard and asked in a low voice uneasily.

His master's life was on the line, and if anything else happened, he would not be able to go back and confess to the king.

"Don't worry." Xiao Wenxuan only has this one sentence, and there are no other words.

His mood at the moment is very complicated, there are people in front of the palace and in front of the Su family to monitor their every move, and the two people sent away by Gao Hanlin should also be that group. What is the intention of these people to raid the prince of Di Kingdom?

Su Muling watched as Xichun and Pomegranate cleaned up Immantha and changed into clean clothes. Leaving Xichun to guard, she and Pomegranate walked out of the room.

In the courtyard, Xiao Wenxuan and a few people stood in the dark, with tall figures and solemn faces.

The hours of going back and forth did not add much fatigue to them, and they only had fear for Delang's life in their eyes at the moment.

Su Muling didn't disturb them, quietly went back to the house, boiled water with a charcoal stove, made hot tea, and asked pomegranates to bring it to them.

In autumn, the night is as cold as water, and a gust of wind blows, making people shiver unconsciously. A cup of hot tea is enough to drive away the chill that hits.

Su Muling found a cloak from Xiao Wenxuan's room and draped it on Xiao Wenxuan's shoulders.

Xiao Wenxuan's heart suddenly felt a little warmer. The eyes that looked at her were filled with pampering.

"It's cold at night, you go to sleep first."

Su Muling didn't feel sleepy at all, she hugged one of Xiao Wenxuan's arms and didn't move.

"I'm not sleepy, I'm with you."

Xiao Wenxuan hesitated, his arm was lightly raised, the cloak lifted with his arm, and when it fell again, Su Muling's whole body was wrapped in the cloak.

Su Muling wrapped his arms around his waist, the two of them were close to each other, the autumn wind blew, but Su Muling felt that the wind was warm.

Time passed slowly, until the sky revealed the white of the fish's belly, and the master of desirelessness opened the door.

"Master, how's it going?" Xiao Wenxuan let go of Su Muling and stepped forward to ask.

Master Desireless folded his hands, bowed his head and replied, "The donor has no worries about his life. Lao Wei's apprentice is guarding, so don't disturb outsiders yet. ”

"Master." Xiao Wenxuan leaned towards Desireless. The sound is extremely low. "Master, this person's identity is special and should not be made public. I hope that the master will be perfected. ”

Master Desireless glanced at Xiao Wenxuan and understood. "Don't ask, don't say."

"Master of Thanks. No shadow, send the master. ”

Xiao Wenxuan's heart was put down, and he watched the master of desirelessness leave.

After a night of tossing, except for a few guards who took turns to keep vigil, everyone went to sleep.

Xiao Wenxuan lay on the bed for two quarters of an hour without taking off his clothes, then got up to freshen up and change his clothes and instructed Fang Ping to prepare the car.

"How do you lie down and get up again?" Su Muling, who heard the sound, asked distressedly.

"I want to go to the palace, and the matter of the prince of Di Guo cannot be hidden from the emperor. Look at you, your eyes are red, go sleep for a while. Xiao Wenxuan reached out and wrapped her in his arms, leaving a kiss on her forehead.

Su Muling looked at his sunken eye sockets and said distressedly: "Breakfast will be ready soon, let's eat it and leave." ”

Xiao Wenxuan was indeed hungry and followed Su Muling to her room.

On the table in the house, Xichun prepared white porridge and a few pickled vegetables brought from home.

Xiao Wenxuan sat down, picked up the white porridge that was cool to the right temperature, took a few big bites, and then stood up and was about to leave, when Su Muling pressed it.

Su Muling moved his hand and handed him another bowl and handed it to him: "I didn't eat for dinner yesterday, and I worked all night, so I will eat some more." ”

Xiao Wenxuan smirked at Su Muling: "You're not afraid that I will eat too much and be taken out by the horse?" ”

Su Muling didn't care, and put a small pickle mixed with sesame oil with chopsticks and put it in his bowl.

When you go to the temple, you have to eat vegetarian, and it is inconvenient for Su Muling's pickled eggplant, sake lees duck letter ham and the like to eat here, so he only asked Xichun to pick up a few vegetarian dishes and take them to eat.

"I'm afraid I can't go hungry. Here, eat another bowl. ”

Seeing Xiao Wenxuan having another bowl of belly, Su Muling followed closely and put another bowl in front of him.

Xiao Wenxuan looked at Su Muling, who would not give up if she didn't hold him to death, and teased her: "Do you want to be a widow before you pass the door?" ”

"Bah, what nonsense, you are such a big person, a few bowls of porridge can hold you to death? You see that there is no shadow of people, not to mention thin, even a few bowls of dry rice are only half full. ”

Xiao Wenxuan smiled bitterly: "How much physical strength did he spend jumping up and down in a day?" How can I compare with him? ”

"Why can't you compare to him? You are the prince, not only is your status higher than him, but you also have to eat more than him. Come, eat this bowl, and I'll let you go." Su Muling forcefully pushed the bowl in front of him again.

Xiao Wenxuan was helpless, so he ate another bowl and three bowls of porridge, and Su Muling let him out.

Before Xiao Wenxuan went down the mountain, he went to Delang's room to take a look. Derang was still asleep, but his face was much better.

Su Muling sent Xiao Wenxuan out of the yard, and ate a bowl of the rest of the dishes, and told Xichun and Pomegranate to take turns to rest, took off their coats and began to make up for sleep, she didn't sleep all night, she couldn't stay up.

……

Xiao Wenxuan took a nap on the road. There is no early dynasty today, the emperor is receiving the second prince in the Chengde Palace, and Gonggong An is waiting outside the hall with Xiao Wenxuan.

In the main hall, the second prince was reporting to the emperor the rumors he had heard outside.

“…… It stands to reason that the Di delegation should have arrived in Luzhou yesterday, but the news from Luzhou that no Di delegation had entered the city. It is rumored outside that the prince of Di Guo has been poisoned by Prince Ning, and his body has been destroyed by the heavy rain the day before yesterday. ”

"Nonsense, You'an has always been steady. The relationship with Delang is also closer than ordinary people, what reason does he have to take Delang's life? Some people just have nothing to do when they are full, and they are spreading rumors everywhere, you go and check for me, whose mouth did this come from, and I will make him shut up forever. ”

The emperor was angry, Xiao Wenxuan was impeccable in his heart except for his dedication to Su Muling. Someone deliberately spread rumors to slander Xiao Wenxuan, and the emperor did not follow it first.

Seeing that the emperor unabashedly defended the illegitimate child, the second prince lowered his head and clenched his hands in his sleeves.

"Father, don't forget, at the palace banquet not long ago, Prince Ning was deceived out of the palace by the princess of Di Guo, and was pushed into the lake by the palace maid, and was almost drowned. Although there is no evidence to prove that the matter was committed by the prince and the crown princess, it is a fact that the prince of Di Guo has a ghost in his heart, and the palace maid was killed.

Prince Ning's pampering of Prince Ning is obvious to everyone, for the sake of Prince Ning, what can't Prince Ning do? Prince Ning pretended to be friendly with Delang, and borrowed Delang to return to China behind his back, and it was not impossible to assassinate him. Father, this matter can't be hidden, it will soon spread to the Di Kingdom, you have to plan early. ”

The two princes tried their best to persuade each other.

The emperor got up from his chair and walked back and forth on the ground with his hands in his hands.

When he stopped again, he pointed to the second prince and ordered: "You immediately take someone to investigate the whereabouts of the mission of the Di Kingdom." As soon as you have news, tell me about it. ”

"Yes."

The second prince was secretly happy in his heart, what he was waiting for was the emperor's words.

When the second prince walked out of the main hall, he was facing Xiao Wenxuan.

The second prince greeted him with a smile: "Is there anything urgent about Prince Ning coming to see his father so early?" ”

The corners of Xiao Wenxuan's lips curled, and he replied, "There is something important." Ling'er has always been haunted by nightmares since the last time she fell into the water, and yesterday she went to Fule Temple to worship the Buddha and burn incense, and listened to the lecture of the master of desirelessness, which was greatly relieved. Therefore, I want the ministers to accompany him to stay a few more days. Chente came to ask the emperor for a leave of absence. ”

Xiao Wenxuan's appearance of holding a woman to the sky made the second prince very disdainful. But he didn't show it on his face, and joked with a backlaugh:

"Prince Ning really pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and Princess Ning is afraid that she will make all the women in the capital envious and jealous."

Xiao Wenxuan's eyebrows curled and echoed: "Where, where." The minister is not like the second prince in general, warm and soft / jade is full of arms, and the minister only has this one to love, so he naturally wants to be pampered. ”

"Haha! Prince Ning is really a man of temperament. The second prince smiled and walked away.

The emperor was worried about the Di State Mission, and Xiao Wenxuan asked to see him. The emperor was silent for a moment and announced his arrival.

In Xinuan Pavilion, there was already a ground dragon, but Xiao Wenxuan still felt a chill the moment he came in.

"What are you doing here?"

After calling Xiao Wenxuan up, the emperor looked at him and was very conflicted.

Xiao Wenxuan had already figured out a trace from the second prince's wanton behavior just now, and he stood aside quietly and replied:

"Back to the emperor, I guess the emperor also heard rumors from the outside world, saying that the ministers robbed and killed the Di delegation for women."

Facing Xiao Wenxuan's somewhat disdainful gaze, the emperor was faintly hot. He picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, moistening his somewhat dry throat, and his voice was a few degrees lower.

"I've heard about it."

"Does the emperor believe that it was done by Wei Chen?"

Xiao Wenxuan suddenly had a soul torture question about the emperor.

This question really stopped the emperor, and he was stunned for a moment before he said ambiguously:

"I don't want you to do it."

The emperor's words disappointed Xiao Wenxuan, and it turned out that the emperor was still suspicious of him.

Xiao Wenxuan felt a chill in his heart and lowered his head.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something important to report."

"You say."

Xiao Wenxuan didn't speak, but glanced around.

The emperor understood, retired from the eunuchs and palace maids around him, and asked Gonggong An to guard outside the door.

"Let's talk about it now."

"In the evening of the day before yesterday, the Di delegation was robbed and killed near Daxing. There were fifty-eight people in the group, and only three people remained. The crown prince and the crown princess were injured, and the entourage Nuha did not dare to ask for help from others, so he risked his life to enter Beijing to find the minister's mansion. In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, the minister pretended to go to Fule Temple outside the city with Ling'er to offer incense, and led people to secretly rescue the prince and the princess back to Fule Temple from the back mountain.

The prince of Di Guo was seriously injured and dying, but thanks to the rescue of Master Wuxi, the prince's life was saved. Now that the crown prince is unconscious, the crown princess's arm is broken, and the courtiers have limited hands, and they think they are powerless to protect them. I hereby ask the emperor to show me. ”

Oh? The emperor was shocked. Just now, the second prince came to report that Xiao Wenxuan had robbed and killed the Di delegation for personal revenge, regardless of the friendship between the two countries. Now Xiao Wenxuan told him in person that he had saved the key person......

The emperor's face showed joy, no matter what, it is good news that the crown prince of Di Guo is alive.

"You'an, did they say who did it to them?" Seize this behind the scenes and instruct the emperor to break his body into thousands of pieces.

"I heard the prince's close attendant Nuha say that there were nearly 100 attackers, and they didn't look like ordinary people, like well-trained soldiers. They shot ruthlessly, they didn't want to stay alive, and the crown prince and the crown princess broke out of the encirclement under the desperate protection of the guards. Unfortunately, they were caught up in a carriage and rolled down the valley, and they hid in a cave to save their lives. ”

When Xiao Wenxuan said this, his voice gradually lowered, and his head drooped. He remembered that when he was chased and killed and fled in panic, there were only three of his dozens of guards left in order to protect him.

Trained military personnel? The emperor gritted his teeth, he knew Xiao Wenxuan's strength, even if he wanted to avenge Su Muling, it might be possible to carry out an assassination or something, and use hundreds of well-trained soldiers......

"Someone!" The emperor slapped the table and stood up, calling loudly.
