In the antechamber of the palace, King Taean is sitting on the left-hand side of the hospitality seat, and the main seat is sitting on the ......

Helian Chen?

"Yongning visited His Royal Highness King Xiang and met his father."

"The county lord doesn't need to be polite."

The cold voice was like a sweet spring in the mountains, slowly flowing into Chu Xiaoxiang's heart. She slowly raised her head to meet the gaze of the man who seemed to be standing on the top of the mountain.

It was a pair of beautiful eyes, and the deep eye sockets made his already impeccable cheeks more three-dimensional, but they also deepened the indifference between his eyebrows. The tails of his eyes rose slightly, adding a bit of arrogance to it.

After losing his mind for a moment, Chu Xiaoxiang immediately returned to his normal state and stood beside King Tai'an as if he was obedient.

"I heard that thanks to His Royal Highness's rescue today, Xiang'er was able to return safely, His Royal Highness is very kind, and the minister has nothing to repay!"

King Tai'an bowed to Helian Chen, and Chu Xiaoxiang also thanked him.

"Yongning, thank Your Highness for saving your life."

Although he lowered his head, Chu Xiaoxiang could still feel that Helian Chen's inquiring gaze was falling on him.

"King Tai'an's words are serious, this king is just a gesture today, no need to say thanks. The hour is not early, and the king has to return to the palace to resume his life and take his leave. ”

"Congratulations to Your Highness." King Tai'an hurriedly gave it away.

But for some reason, Chu Xiaoxiang always felt that something was weird?

Why did Helian Chen want to leave, but King Tai'an didn't send him a ride himself?

However, her doubts did not last long, because in the next second, King Tai'an personally answered for her.

"Xiang'er, my father's legs and feet are inconvenient, you send His Royal Highness out of the house for your father."

Looking at King Tai'an's unbearable leg pain, Chu Xiaoxiang couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

Why didn't she know that King Tai'an still had a leg pain?

But the words have already been said about this, and there is no reason for me to refuse.

He was silent all the way, and when he arrived at the gate, Chu Xiaoxiang took the initiative to speak, "Your Highness, please." ”

Helian Chen just glanced at her lightly, and then left the house and got into the carriage.

Back in the front hall, Chu Xiaoxiang was stopped by King Tai'an.

"Do you know why Your Highness came here today?"

"Yongning doesn't know."

King Tai'an looked at Chu Xiaoxiang and sighed helplessly, "The emperor will be elected in a month, and you are also on the roster." ”

Chu Xiaoxiang's eyebrows skipped a beat.

Her life of "Heavenly Evil Lone Star" has long spread all over the capital, and no family in the entire capital dares to marry her into the door, for fear of being "defeated" by her, and even her own father has sent her away for fifteen years because of this, why did the people in this palace do the opposite?

"This king has probed the tone of King Xiang, and the emperor intends to choose one between you and Qin Ruo."

Qin Ruo is the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and her eldest sister is Princess Chen, who married King Chen's fief a few years ago.

She and Qin Ruo, one represents the Tai'an Palace, and the other represents the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the two have the same weight in the court.

However, what surprised Chu Xiaoxiang was that King Tai'an was able to get words out of Helian Chen's mouth? She wasn't convinced.

After King Tai'an said this, his eyes kept falling on Chu Xiaoxiang's body, and he saw that Chu Xiaoxiang had no reaction to this news, so he couldn't help frowning slightly, as if he was a little helpless.

"Xiang'er, my father asked you, would you like to enter the palace?"

Chu Xiaoxiang was slightly stunned when he heard this.

When will it be her turn to call the shots for this kind of thing?

"The daughter is the father who decides."

She couldn't figure out what King Tai'an was thinking, so she didn't take it lightly.

She has also deliberately understood the situation in the court, the relationship between the little emperor and Helianchen has become more and more tense in the past two years, and the little emperor seems to be dissatisfied with his own restrictions on Helianchen everywhere, and under the discord of people with intentions, he intends to abolish the position of Helianchen regent. As for what Helian Chen thinks...... I'm afraid no one knows but himself.

If King Tai'an wants to side with the little emperor, then he will inevitably let himself enter the palace, and there is no room for turnaround; But if he is interested in supporting Helian Chen......

King Tai'an didn't reply immediately, he just looked at Chu Xiaoxiang meaningfully, and was silent for about half a pillar of incense before he slowly spoke, "The dispute in the palace, the Tai'an palace can't stay out of the matter, my father thought that leaving you until the fifteenth and then taking you back to the palace would allow you to avoid this catastrophe, but he didn't expect the emperor to drag out the matter of choosing a concubine until now." ”

As an emperor, the little emperor should have been canonized as a queen and drafted a concubine a few years ago, but he has always pressed this matter. Chu Xiaoxiang originally did not associate this matter with himself, but now that he thinks about it, the little emperor is afraid that he wants to use himself and the Tai'an Royal Mansion to consolidate his power.

But King Tai'an's words made Chu Xiaoxiang feel stunned, and she quickly remembered the rumors she had heard from those nuns back then.

"I heard that the prince originally planned to let people take this girl back, but then he gave up!"

"This dead girl killed the princess as soon as she was born, the prince is disgusted that she is too late, how can he take her back?"

"That is, it is estimated that the prince made a decision after being confused for a while. You see, don't you regret leaving her here again? ”

At that time, several nuns were not mean to Xiao Yongning, after all, they were not sure whether King Tai'an would take Xiao Yongning back.

But after a long time, and the patience ran out, their ugly faces were revealed.

At that time, after listening to the conversations of several nuns, she thought that King Tai'an was also an ignorant coward, but now it seems that there is something else hidden in this matter?

"Xiang'er, my father promised your mother and concubine to protect you. The palace is the Longtan Tiger's Den, if you don't want to enter the palace, your father will find another way. ”

Hearing King Tai'an say that he would protect her thoroughly, Chu Xiaoxiang couldn't help but feel a little ironic.

How would you feel if you knew that your real daughter had passed away 10 years ago?

As for King Tai'an, he has to find another way, and nine times out of ten he will marry himself to Helian Chen.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been specially called here today, and she pretended to be sick and let herself go to Helian Chen.

Chu Xiaoxiang was puzzled, the two tigers between Helianchen and the little emperor competed, no matter whether Helianchen won or lost in the future, he would not end well if he married him.

Either Caesar or nothing.

won, Helian Chen is the emperor, and she will eventually enter the palace; If defeated, Helian Chen will inevitably be cut down by the little emperor, and he will not escape death.

It is impossible for King Tai'an not to think of this.

Still the same sentence, she couldn't figure out what King Tai'an was thinking.

Therefore, Chu Xiaoxiang decided to continue to pretend to be confused.

"The daughter did not understand what her father meant."

When King Tai'an heard this, he sighed deeply again.

"That's it, my father only asks you, if my father doesn't let you enter the palace, will you complain?"

As Chu Xiaoxiang guessed, King Tai'an had already made up his mind in his heart, and just asking her opinion was nothing more than a formality.

"No, it won't."

After receiving a satisfactory answer, King Tai'an seemed to be relieved, and waved his hand to let Chu Xiaoxiang go back to rest.

Back in Luoxia Courtyard, Chu Xiaoxiang was always thinking about what happened just now.
