In the north, inside the majestic imperial palace.

Zhao Rongdu knelt down on one knee in front of Emperor Zhao: "Father, this matter is all nonsense from some untouchables, how can Erchen snatch the things of the county lord of Sule, how can the county lord of Sule say that he is also the cousin of the son, and he is connected with the blood of the son, so there must be someone with a heart who wants to sow discord among our royal family, you must not be gullible." ”

Emperor Zhao glanced at him and whispered lightly: "Rong Du, I know that you sometimes have some bad habits, but some habits can be presumptuous if they are used by outsiders, but for relatives, I hope you will not behave like this again." ”

The son is his own, how could Emperor Zhao not understand what kind of personality Zhao Rong is, and Emperor Zhao has already sent someone to investigate this matter.

When Su Le returned to the north, it was indeed Zhao Rongdu who picked her up, and he also locked people in prison, why was Su Le released after that?

That must have been a compromise, and this compromise doesn't need to be thought about to know, it must be a rumor that has been circulating in the past two days.

"You, sometimes use your brain!" Emperor Zhao said again.

However, even Emperor Zhao wanted to get everything from Su Le, but what he wanted was not this kind of snatching by uncompromising means, but to obtain it fundamentally.

Therefore, Emperor Zhao only thought about how to pull Su Le into his camp, instead of directly snatching everything from Su Le.

And instead of snatching directly, it is the best policy to make Su Le obedient, because in this way, it will not disturb the people's hearts, and Emperor Zhao is a smart person, and he will definitely not make such a mistake.

"Father's ......"

"Okay, don't say it, I already know what you want to say, but I want you to understand that there are some things that you can't get forever even if you get them for a while, just like Su Le's business king. ”

"Father, why can't it?" Zhao Rongdu was unconvinced, as long as he forced Su Le to hand over all the business, he believed that all this would only belong to the orthodoxy of their royal family, and no one could snatch it away.

And when it comes to what is in their hands, who will dare to rob it?

Hearing this, Emperor Zhao shook his head with some disappointment: "I said that about you, are you not convinced?"

Zhao Rongdu lowered his head slightly, and didn't dare to say that he was unconvinced, but the slightly upturned corners of his mouth already explained everything, because this was the familiar expression of Emperor Zhao, and it was also the expression that Zhao Rong would only have when he was unconvinced.

"I ask you, among all the businesses like Su Le's now, which one can you do?" Emperor Zhao asked.

"This ......"

"No, right? Then why do you think that winning Su Le's commercial property rights is to get everything? Do you think those things appeared out of thin air? That's because of Su Le, without Su Le, there would be no existence of those things, naturally, the same will be true in the future, if there is no Su Le, even if you get her commercial street, you will only remain the same, at the beginning or okay, but over time, how long do you think you can maintain it with the things you took from Su Le?"

As he spoke, Emperor Zhao's voice paused slightly, and he said again after a while: "For another analogy, if you take everything from her, in case Su Le reopens, or returns to the south to create a new industry, but then the north does not, do you think you can afford such a loss?"

Saying these words, Emperor Zhao was a little helpless.

Su Le is Zhao Huangji's only bloodline, and Emperor Zhao will definitely not destroy Su Le's existence unless it is absolutely necessary, but Su Le's existence is sometimes a feared problem.

One is to look forward to the good she brings to the north, and the other is to be jealous of her talent, so in the choice between guard and laissez-faire, Emperor Zhao is often partial, and he also endures Su Le's 'presumptuousness'.

Even when Su Le ran back to the southern country, he endured it.

However, he endured so his side, and at this time, he, a stupid emperor, was so stupid, he was not extremely welcome when Su Le came back, and he did such a hurtful act, which would make Su Le disappointed in their northern country, maybe he would really do something treacherous in the future.

So for Zhao Rongdu's move, Emperor Zhao was really unhappy.

"Father, she has promised to submit to her son's ministers, so no matter what new business she has in the future, it will be her son's. ”

"Hehe~" Hearing this, Emperor Zhao laughed directly, but his smile was so sarcastic: "Rong Du, do you think you think you are too powerful? Do you think Su Le is really submissive to you? If she is really submissive to you, where do you think the gossip in the past two days came from?"

Zhao Rongdu arranged everything with one hand, locked Su Le in the prison with the other, and forced Su Le to return to obedience, so who would know about this matter except for the parties involved?

However, now there are such rumors, if it weren't for Zhao Rongdu and Su Le's doing, Zhao Rongdu would naturally not be able to talk to himself, so only Su Le would be left.

"This ...... Someone must have heard it and secretly spread it. Zhao Rong said curtly.

Emperor Zhao was silent and gave a 'is this really the case' look.

Zhao Rongdu pursed his lips and said a little angrily: "Okay, Erchen knows that he is wrong, and Erchen has not grasped the balance of this matter." ”

"This has nothing to do with proportion, but you don't know how to cherish family affection so much, if you treat her sincerely, will she treat you badly? Look at Chaoyang, Su Le is not bad to him, right? As far as I know, after Chaoyang's accident, Su Le has been sending people to investigate Chaoyang's whereabouts, so in this regard, Chaoyang has done a better job than you. ”

Although Emperor Zhao sometimes said something bad to Su Le, it was all in a hurry, or when Su Le was 'biased' towards the southern country, but at that time, what he said was basically angry words, and in the final analysis, Emperor Zhao was also a person who cared more about family affection.

Otherwise, as early as Su Le opened a commercial street in the southern country, he could directly ask Su Le for the crime.

Zhao Chaoyang Zhao Chaoyang is Zhao Chaoyang again. Hearing Emperor Zhao's words, Zhao Rongdu was angry in his heart, but he could only smile on his face and said: "Father's lesson is true, Erchen understands! Erchen will learn from the imperial brother in the future." ”

Although Emperor Zhao didn't know if what Zhao Rong said was sincere, when he heard these words, Emperor Zhao still felt relieved: "Okay, it's good that you can think like that." ”

After that, Emperor Zhao and Zhao Rong discussed Zhao Chaoyang's matter again, but they had no clue about Chaoyang's whereabouts, so they could only let people continue to investigate.

Leaving Emperor Zhao's sight and returning to his palace, Zhao Rongdu immediately slapped the servant beside him: "What did you do? How could this matter reach Your Majesty's ears? Didn't I ask you to block the mouth of the prince?"

As long as it was delayed, Zhao Rongdu naturally had a way to smooth out this matter, but he didn't expect Emperor Zhao to still know about it and reprimand him, which made Zhao Rongdu not annoyed.

The two minions knelt on the ground in fear, and one of them said: "His Royal Highness Rong Du is angry, the servants have really gone to do this matter, and the prince has agreed to treat it as if he does not know, but there are too many people who know about it, and there are many of them His Royal Highness Chaoyang's eyeliner, so ......"

The servant didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was already obvious.

Zhao Rongdu gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Zhao Chaoyang, it's this bastard again, how can he have his business everywhere, he is nowhere to be found, and he can still stir up troubled waters." ”

"Your Highness Rongdu, where did you say His Highness Chaoyang is hiding now, will he have returned to the Northern Capital?"

Zhao Rongdu snorted coldly: "Impossible, if he enters the door, His Royal Highness will immediately know, since there is no movement, it can only mean that his whereabouts are still unknown, His Highness is strange, where is he hiding as an injured person?"

At this time, not to mention that Zhao Rong was suspicious, even Su Le was wondering about Zhao Chaoyang's whereabouts, because according to the news from the spies, at the time when Zhao Chaoyang finally disappeared, it seemed that someone had seen him, and Zhao Chaoyang was also injured, so he didn't know the severity for the time being.

However, a pampered prince is injured and has only one picture lamp guarding him, so where can he hide now?

"Hua Rong, is there any other news these days?" asked Su Le.

Hua Rong shook her head: "Not yet, but Yu Xin said that she said that she has been much better these days, so she plans to investigate one or two more in person." ”

"Well, it's hard to pity the two girls Yuxin and You, one of them is in the light and the other is in the dark, and they will encounter different levels of danger. ”

"Girl, don't worry, they will take care of themselves, and with Prince Leng in the south, Prince Leng will also take care of them. "Hua Rong is not too worried about Yu Xin, especially Yu Xin, Yu Xin is a person who is good at hiding, as long as she doesn't show any horses, there is basically no big problem.

It's a little more dangerous on the side of Yu Pian, after all, it is in the light, and Yu Pian has to directly meet the 'war' in the south.

Speaking of Leng Junxuan, Su Le smiled slightly: "Yes! With him here, I am much more relieved." ”

Before leaving, Su Le had mentioned it to Leng Junchou, and now Leng Junchou also knew about Yuxin's existence, so she was a lot relieved to have Leng Junchou by her side to take care of one or two.

But compared to the safety of others, Su Le was also very worried about Leng Junshou: "I don't know how he is now, did Emperor Zhou embarrass him after I left?"

......

Leng Wang's Mansion, in a huge hall.

"Lord Leng, Your Majesty said that you seem to be a little idle at the most, so let you go to the border to inspect one or two, and then you can leave, and there must be no mistake. ”

Hearing this, Leng Junshu frowned slightly, because this was obviously Emperor Zhou turning the tiger away from the mountain, and he probably wanted to move some crooked idea.

But Leng Junshu is a minister after all, even if he can send Su Le back to the north with his military power, but as a general, his blame is to protect the safety of the border, and there is nothing wrong with Emperor Zhou sending him to inspect, if he doesn't follow, others will really think he is against the king, so he has to follow.

As soon as the father-in-law who passed the decree left, Tianzhuo immediately greeted him: "Master, Your Majesty's intentions are too obvious, you are afraid that you will not be able to take care of all this here in Kyoto, so how can you and Yuxin withstand it at that time?"

Leng Junxuan sat in the chair, supported the armrest with one hand, supported his chin with his palm, and said lightly: "Your Majesty has suffered such a big loss in the hands of this king, and it is normal to fight back now, so this king is nothing, but the two maids of the lady may not be able to keep it." ”

If others are in Kyoto, they can come forward at any time to protect them, but if others are not there, who can resist Emperor Zhou's holy will?

"But you promised the princess. Tianzhuo reminded.

"So isn't this king annoying?" Leng Jun rolled his eyes angrily, this bastard can't open which pot, he is just worried that he will go, and Yu Xin and Yu Xin have an accident in Kyoto, so how can he explain to Su Le?

Tianzhuo's eyes flickered, and suddenly, he smiled and said, "Master, in fact, I have a way to explain your troubles. ”

"What's the solution?" Leng Junshu asked.

"You can ask the Fourth Highness to come back! as long as the Fourth Highness can come back, there shouldn't be any major incidents with him to protect him. Tianzhuo said.

"Pray for heaven?" Leng Junshu frowned, seeming to hesitate.

The reason why Zhou Qitian left was because Zhou Qitian didn't like the battle between the court, but now that he was asked to come back because of the 'fight', Leng Junshu felt that there was no fun.

As if seeing Leng Jun's hesitation, Tianzhuo said, "Master, are you worried that the Fourth Highness will not agree?"

"This king is not afraid that he will not agree, but this king is afraid of disturbing his peace. If he opened his mouth, Leng Junchou believed that it was estimated that Zhou Qitian would agree to the brotherhood, but he definitely didn't really want to come back.

So Leng Junchou didn't want to embarrass Zhou Qitian.

"Master, why don't you give it a try! After all, we don't have any other candidates now, as for whether we agree or not, let's see what His Royal Highness means. ”

Hearing this, Leng Jun sighed: "It can only be like this." ”

At this time, after receiving Leng Junxuan's flying pigeon message, Zhou Qitian didn't say a word for a long time, he was silent all the time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Your Highness, what did Prince Leng say to you?" Feng Yang looked at Zhou Qitian's deep face and asked suspiciously.

"Ah Chu asked me if I could go back to protect the two maids for him, and of course, he also said that there was no need to force it. ”

"Maid?"

Feng Yang was stunned: "Do you need you to protect the two maids? It is absolutely safe to let them go in the Leng Wangfu, and since the Leng Wang Ye said that you don't need to be reluctant, then you can refuse." ”

Zhou Qitian sighed softly: "Do you think it's really as simple as just two maids? If it's really that simple, he won't help me, so I'm afraid the weight of these two maids is not low!"

"Wouldn't it? Isn't it just two maids, where can they be noble?" Feng Yang didn't quite understand the bends in this, and wondered if Zhou Qitian was thinking too much.

"If it's just an ordinary maid, of course it's not noble, but what if it's Su Le's maid?" Zhou Qitian raised his eyebrows lazily.

Hearing this, Fengyang opened his mouth, and finally said helplessly: "That's the maid among the maids." ”

"So, I suspect that the maids that Ah Chu asked me to protect are two of Su Le's maids, after all, the maids who can make Ah Chu care about them can probably only be the maids related to Su Le. ”

According to Leng Junchou's blindness and tolerance towards Su Le, if it wasn't related to Su Le, why did Leng Junchou need Leng Junchou to open his mouth if it was just two maids, I'm afraid that Leng Junchou wouldn't care about death or life.

"But even so, don't you want to go back?" Fengyang said.

Zhou Qitian has always wanted to leave Kyoto, and has always wanted to avoid those deceitful lives, and now it is finally quiet, if he agrees, if Zhou Qitian wants to come back, I am afraid that Emperor Zhou will not necessarily let him go.

"Then you think I should refuse?" Zhou Qitian asked.

"That's up to you. "Fengyang didn't make decisions for Zhou Qitian, after all, he was not Zhou Qitian.

"I mean ......"

Zhou Qitian looked at the birds flying outside the window: "Flying freely, this is my life's wish, but Ah Chu is my brother, if he is not in trouble, how can he ask me for help." ”

However, if they know that their brother is in trouble but do not help, can they still be called brothers?

And what happened between Leng Junchou and Emperor Zhou during this time Zhou Qitian also knew that Leng Junchou could not personally protect the two maids now, presumably Emperor Zhou had made a move, and Leng Junchou would also be transferred, so Leng Junchou opened this mouth to him.

Fengyang was silent, and sighed helplessly in his heart, because when Zhou Qitian said these words, he knew that Zhou Qitian had decided to return to Kyoto.

......

"What? Zhou Qitian is coming back?" Zhou Kongshuo exclaimed, and then hurriedly asked: "Lord Li, are you mistaken? Wasn't he so decisive when he left? Even if he wants to come back, he shouldn't come back so soon, and at this time, is Zhou Qitian playing some conspiracy?"

Lord Li shook his head lightly: "This is not okay, but Xia Guan thinks that maybe this matter is related to the fact that Lord Leng is leaving." ”

"He left and left, what could it matter?"

"Second Highness, you don't understand this, do you? Why do you think His Majesty wants to transfer Prince Leng out of Kyoto?" asked Lord Li.

Zhou Kongshuo shrugged his shoulders and replied without thinking about it: "Of course, it is for the business in Su Le's hands, only if Leng Junshu stays away, we can take advantage of it." ”

"Then what if the Fourth Highness was summoned back by Prince Leng?"

Hearing this, Zhou Kongshuo frowned: "You mean to say that Zhou Qitian came back to protect Su Le's business?"

"It should be like this!" Lord Li was not too sure, but he felt that it was not much different, after all, there was no one who could make Zhou Qitian come back except Zhou Qitian!

And now the only things that can make Leng Jun care about are things related to Su Le.

"Does Your Majesty know about this?" asked Zhou Kongshuo.

"I don't know yet, but I guess I'll know tomorrow. ”

Emperor Zhou has always been very concerned about Zhou Qitian's movements, so once Zhou Qitian has plans to return to the city, I believe that Emperor Zhou will receive the news soon.

Zhou Kongshuo pursed his lips: "That is to say, His Highness can't move him at this time, otherwise His Majesty will also know." ”

"Uh...... It seems to be exactly that. Lord Li said a little helplessly.

I asked Zhou Kongshuo to do it early, but Zhou Kongshuo didn't pay attention to it, and kept saying that Zhou Qitian had just left not long ago, and if he did it at this time, it might make people suspicious, after all, Zhou Qitian was not in agreement with himself before he left.

Originally, Lord Li didn't think there was anything wrong, but he never expected that Zhou Qitian would come back so soon, and this move caught them a little off guard.

At this time, the princess's house.

Looking at Leng Jun, who suddenly came to the door, Yu Pian and Yu Xin were a little puzzled.

"Lord Leng, we all know about you and the girl, but I don't know what happened when you came to us this time?"

As for Yu Xin, although she didn't say anything, she also looked at Leng Junshu and seemed to be asking him what was going on.

"Before you girl leave, let the king protect your safety, or rather her business, for whatever reason, the king must not let you suffer any harm, otherwise it will be difficult for the king to explain to her. Leng Junshu said bluntly.

Hearing this, Yu Lian nodded: "We already know what you said, but we haven't encountered anything now?"

So in the end, they still don't understand the reason why Leng Junchou came to the door.

"But this king is leaving Kyoto. ”

Leng Junshu said a word, and Yu Xin and Yu Xin immediately had a clear expression: "I see, if Leng Wang Ye wants to leave at this time, it must not be voluntary, since it is not voluntary, then someone must want you to leave, that is, we are in danger now, right?"

specially transferred Leng Junchou away, isn't this trying to deal with them?

Therefore, Yu Lian and Yu Xin are people who understand, and they all know the meaning of Leng Junchou's words.

"Maybe, but maybe the king is mistaken, but rest assured, the king has sent people to protect you. ”

"Lord Leng, our martial arts are not bad, so we shouldn't need anyone to protect us, and after the incident, the girl also sent more people, so it's not a big problem. At this time, Yu Xin also spoke, because she didn't like to be protected, she was used to hiding in the dark, and being protected by others was also a kind of exposure, naturally, she wouldn't agree to let people protect.

"May I ask who you hired to protect us?" Yu Lian didn't refuse directly like Yu Xin, she just asked curiously.

Leng Junxuan smiled mysteriously: "This person also knows the poor girl." ”

"Who?"

"Fourth Highness!"

Hearing this, before Yu Xin could say anything, Yu Xin was already surprised: "What? is it?"

"yes, yes! What's wrong?"

"Uh, no, it's nothing, it's just that I saw His Highness Chaoyang when he had an accident, and someone was chasing me at that time, but it was His Royal Highness Fourth who saved my life. ”

Yu Xin briefly told Leng Junchou what happened, and after listening, Leng Junchou nodded: "I see, since this is the case, it will be easier to do, you all know each other, he will protect you, and you can rest assured." ”

"Isn't this very good?" You Pian was also a little reluctant, after all, Zhou Qitian was the prince of Emperor Zhou, although Zhou Qitian was a good person, but after all, he was the prince of the southern country, and now he was probably the Emperor Zhou who had to deal with them.

Let the father and son kill each other, how cruel it is.

And in the end, it is unknown whether Zhou Qitian will help Emperor Zhou 'bully' them, so they don't want to take this risk.

"Lord Leng, I don't think it's appropriate, after all, the identity of the four palaces is there, can he resist Emperor Zhou's words? As a courtier, as a prince, the position of the four highnesses is very embarrassing. Yu Xin also said.
