On the night of the begging, it rained heavily, as Yi Yu said.

Xuan Jinhuan came to Dongtingchun in advance, and the bartender sent information that Xia Xin had gone out and came over to Dongtingchun. After a while, someone led Xie Lan in and closed the door of the wing; Xuan Jinhuan poured a glass of wine and put it in front of Xie Lan: "This is twenty-year-old red carving wine, I don't know if His Royal Highness likes it." ”

"Thank you, Miss Jinhuan." Xie Lan nodded with a smile.

"It's raining heavily tonight, and I'm tired of the Second Highness coming here." Xuan Jinhuan chuckled, "It's just that not long ago, Yunyan Pavilion just received a news that it was related to His Second Highness, so I had to ask you out." As she spoke, she glanced out the window and happened to see a woman wearing a light veil and a maidservant into Dongtingchun.

Xie Lan heard that it was related to herself, and was surprised: "Isn't it my mother's ······?"

Xuan Jinhuan shook his head: "No, His Royal Highness will understand in a while." "I hope Xie Lan won't be excited for a while.

The two of them had a leisurely drink, waiting for the show to begin.

After a while, I heard footsteps outside, and then a delicate woman's voice asked, "Xiao Er, have you done what you told you before?" This should be the voice of the maid beside Xia Xin.

"Miss Xia, don't worry, we are separated in the middle of each of our wings, and no one will hear it." Xiao Er said.

"I'm sorry for you." This is Xia Xin's voice.

What the shopkeeper said is right, there are gaps between the wings of Dongting Chun, but this one is different.

Xuan Jinhuan saw Xie Lan's expression change slightly, and he should have recognized that the person who spoke just now was Xia Xin; Xuan Jinhuan shook his head and signaled him not to act rashly, Xie Lan's expression was dark, but he sat quietly and quietly.

In the next room, Xia Xin's master and servant had already sat down, and after a while, they heard a knock on the door, and it should be another person coming in, Xia Xin called Mrs. Yan.

Xie Lan looked at Xuan Jinhuan, her face pale.

The voice came intermittently from the box next door, and from the conversation between the two, it could be judged that it was Xia Xin and the Duchess of Zhenguo.

Xia Xin's tone didn't seem to be too pleasant, and even had a hint of questioning: "Madam, I heard that Mrs. Yan has taken a fancy to Liang Guogong's niece Ji Ruoli?" The Madame Yan she mentioned here must refer to the biological mother of the emperor's eldest son, Madame Yan, and this Ji Ruoli is the niece of Ji Xingnian, the Duke of Liang Guo, and the inner disciple of Ji Xingzhou, the head of the Yongan Secret Guard.

Duchess Zhenguo said in a salty tone: "I also heard that Xia Xiang entered the palace and knelt down to beg His Majesty to dissolve your marriage contract with King Song, but His Majesty did not agree. Miss Xia, you will be the princess of Song in the near future, but you are still thinking about the position of Princess Qi, isn't it ridiculous? Could it be that His Royal Highness King Qi forcibly robbed his brother and daughter-in-law as a wife? Isn't this going to make His Royal Highness King Qi a laughing stock of the world? ”

Xia Xin was very unwilling: "But Mrs. Yan promised me?" ”

"What Madame Yan promised you is that if King Song dies in Dongjun, Your Majesty will definitely remarry you in order to make up for your Xia family, and Madame will ask Your Majesty to make you the eldest princess; But now that Xie Lan has come back alive from Dongjun, your Xia family didn't grasp this opportunity. Duchess Zhenguo said in a disdainful tone.

"Madam, don't regret it after you say this, after all, Your Majesty is not the only prince who likes King Qi, but also His Royal Highness the King of Jin from Mrs. Chu." Xia Xin was faintly threatening.

Hearing this, Xuan Jinhuan only felt that this Xia girl was really a little stupid, if she wanted to marry Xie Jun but still had to blackmail the Duchess of Zhenguo, wouldn't this be a self-defeating way out!

And Xie Lan listened to the conversation between the two of them, her face was extremely ugly, after all, no matter who heard with her own ears that the woman who had a marriage contract with her was bent on becoming her sister-in-law, and even hoped that she would die, it was a miracle that she was not so angry that she vomited blood on the spot.

Xuan Jinhuan looked at Xie Lan, it was hard for him to continue listening, I was really afraid that he would vomit blood and faint in the next moment.

Then the sneering voice of the Duchess of Zhenguo came: "Miss Xia, you really think too highly of yourself, and the future queen position is not indispensable to you." Don't think that a barefoot monk casually says that you are the queen's order to please you, and you really think that you are the future queen. I also advise you to die early in this heart, and don't mess with the idea of His Royal Highness Qi; The most important thing that this king lacks is the noble daughter of the family, and the position of the princess of Qi will not be your turn to be a woman who has had a marriage contract with someone else since she was a child. After a pause, he said, "Miss Xia, please respect yourself, the identity of the concubine is not suitable for meeting the girl." Then there was the sound of the Duchess of Zhenguo leaving angrily.

It turned out that Xia Xin was so proud that he felt that he must marry the future Son of Heaven, but it was because a barefoot monk said that she was the queen's order, which has always been ridiculous. And listening to the meaning of the Duchess of Zhenguo, in fact, what happened to Xie Lan in Dongjun last time was also written by Xia Dan.

It's just that Xuan Jinhuan listened to the tone of the Duchess of Fang Cai Zhenguo, and faintly had a killing intent towards Xia Xin.

If the Duchess of Zhenguo really moved the idea of getting rid of Xia Xin, Xuan Jinhuan would be particularly able to understand it. Since in the eyes of the Yan family, Xia Xin is not worthy of becoming the princess of Qi, but in case the words of the barefoot monk are true, of course, it is the most important thing to kill Xia Xin once and for all; As for whether it can be successfully killed, that's another matter.

After a while, I heard that Xia Xin's master and servant also came out of the next room.

Xie Lancai exhaled a long breath as if he was completely deflated, his face was pale, obviously very difficult to accept what he had just heard, after all, Xia Xin was not such a person in his cognition.

"Second Highness······ Xuan Jinhuan called softly, and Xie Lan closed her eyes as if she had a headache: "I want to be quiet about this, think about it." "No matter who else this is, it will be unacceptable for a while.

The carriage of the Xia family was still parked under Dongting Chun, and sitting by the window, you could see Xia Xin's master and servant coming out of Dongting Chun and getting into the carriage; Xie Lan looked at them gloomily, and finally turned to the side and stopped looking.

Maybe his feelings for Xia Xin are still very complicated now, on the one hand, he has always thought that he used to be the gentle and virtuous Xia girl, and on the other hand, Xia Xin, who is now full of calculations for him, I am afraid that he can't tell which one is the real Xia Xin now.

When Xie Lan figured it out for himself, he would be able to understand many things.

Indeed, as Master Xuan said, long pain is better than short pain, and some things will be more troublesome the longer they drag on.

Xuan Jin sent Xie Lan back to his mansion, she didn't speak along the way, and Xie Lan was as listless as a soul out of her body; It wasn't until the time of separation that he suddenly turned back to Xuan Jinhuan and said, "Miss Jinhuan, thank you." ”
