After receiving Lu Xuan's assurance, Lu Xilong reluctantly swallowed this evil breath: "Okay, then I will wait for the good news of my nephew." ”

After saying that, Lu Xilong immediately turned around and left the Lu Mansion with the people of the Shu Branch, and Lu Qingmeng pretended to look aggrieved and threw himself into Cui's arms.

"Auntie, I really didn't do anything to offend the Shuzhi, and please believe me." Lu Qingmeng begged bitterly.

Before Cui Shi could open his mouth to respond, Lu Xuan had already snorted coldly at Lu Qingmeng with a contemptuous face: "Believe you? If you really didn't provoke them, why did they go to such great lengths to find here? ”

Seeing that Lu Xuan questioned his statement, Lu Qingmeng hurriedly shook his head: "Brother, Shuzhi has always liked to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and you don't know this, would you rather believe them than believe me?" ”

At this time, compared to Lu Qingmeng, Lu Xuan really preferred to believe in the people who had always had evil intentions.

Everyone in the Shu branch treats the Yan branch as Sima Zhao's heart, but people like Lu Qingmeng who are deep in their minds are really difficult to guess.

But Xu was out of hatred for Lu Xilong, Cui only heard Lu Qingmeng's words, and believed her without saying a word, and then echoed the words:

"The Shu Zhi has indeed always been fond of troubles with us, didn't they often come to the house to make trouble when you were away before?"

Lu Xuan naturally held a grudge in his heart, but now was not the time to solve this matter, compared to the Shu branch, what Lu Xuan was more guarded against now was actually Lu Qingmeng, a seemingly simple and harmless woman.

But before Lu Xuan could speak, Lu Qingmeng had already walked up to her pitifully: "I know that I have done a lot of things wrong in the past, but I also ask my brother to give me a chance to mend my ways." ”

As the saying goes, a dog can't change its eating, in Lu Xuan's opinion, Lu Qingmeng is such an unchangeable person, she naturally won't believe what comes out of her mouth to change her life or anything like that.

It's just that the current matter about the relationship between Lu Qingmeng and Li Ce has yet to be verified, and Lu Xuan is more concerned about this matter.

In order not to startle the snake, Lu Xuan had to temporarily show an attitude of not rejecting Lu Qingmeng.

"That's it, since A-Niang vouches for you, I have nothing to say, I still have official business, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back to share dinner with A-Niang tonight." Lu Xuan said.

"Official business?" Cui Shi couldn't help but look at the already gloomy sky outside, and was stunned: "But didn't you just come back?" Why do you have to go out at this time at such a late hour? ”

Lu Xuan didn't explain, only casually said, "People are in officialdom, and they can't help themselves", and then left in front of the two, without even looking at Lu Qingmeng.

Cui Shi also saw that Lu Xuan was upset because of Lu Qingmeng's matter, so he didn't chase after her and ask more, just let her avoid it, hoping that she would be able to figure it out by herself.

Walking out of the Lu Mansion, Lu Xuan went straight to the Fierce King's Mansion like a ghost.

At that time, Gu Huanli was holding a stack of files that were not very thick in his hand, and he looked at it extremely seriously, as if he was understanding something particularly important.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan hurriedly stepped forward: "The lower official has seen His Royal Highness." ”

Hearing Lu Xuan's voice, Gu Huanli couldn't help but be stunned, and then raised his eyes to look at her: "Why are you here?" He clearly remembered that just a few hours ago, he had sent Lu Xuan back.

Lu Xuan was still thinking about things in her heart on the way from Lu Mansion, but now that she saw Gu Huanli, she didn't know how to speak.

Looking at Lu Xuan's hesitant appearance, Gu Huanli knew that she must have something to plead with her.

As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you can't go to the Three Treasures Palace, Gu Huanli immediately stopped the movements in his hand and signaled to Lu Xuan: "If there is anything, just say it directly, you don't have to hide it in front of this king." ”

Gu Huanli said that he was in his mind, and then Lu Xuan spoke: "I want to borrow a secret guard from His Highness." ”

Gu Huanli looked confused when he heard this: "Secret guard? What do you want the Dark Guard to do? ”

"The foreign sister who was kicked out of the Lu Mansion by me a few days ago has returned, and I always feel that her appearance is strange this time, and it is very likely that I have some connection with the fact that I was stabbed to the commander of the Xichang Factory, so I want to borrow a secret guard from His Highness to spy on her in secret, so as to dispel or confirm my concerns."

After listening to Lu Xuan's reason, Gu Huanli nodded and agreed without thinking about it: "It's just a secret guard, if you want to, just talk to Lin Wei directly in a while." ”

Lu Xuan leaned over and nodded: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

After that, she was about to get up and go to look for Lin Wei, but was stopped by Gu Huanli: "Wait, there is one more thing, this king thinks you need to know." ”

Gu Huanli called Lu Xuan to his side as he spoke, stretched out his hand and pointed to the file he had just flipped through: "This is the matter about Li Ce that I ordered Lin Wei to search, you can come and take a look." ”

Lu Xuan was worried that she didn't know enough about the forces behind Li Ce, and Gu Huanli made her feel a lot more relieved at this time.

She immediately flipped through the dossier provided by Gu Huanli, and found that Li Ce was able to successfully enter the official career not because he successfully passed the palace examination and tribute examination like herself, but through the help of a certain royal nobleman.

As for who this royal prince and nobleman is, although there is no record in the dossier, Lu Xuan doesn't have to think about it to know that he has nothing to do with King Chang.

"Since His Highness suspects that Li Ce is colluding with King Chang, what does His Highness plan to do next?" Lu Xuan asked about Gu Huanli's plans.

Gu Huanli has always had revenge, if someone dares to break ground on his head, he can't help but say that he can dismantle the other party, he only cared about guarding against the prince, but he didn't realize that King Chang had already targeted him.

But Gu Huanli was not in a hurry, and even asked Lu Xuan slowly: "Then what do you want this king to do?" ”

These words seemed to test Lu Xuan's attitude, testing whether she was willing to put her old acquaintance in Gu Huanli's hands.

Lu Xuan pondered carefully when he heard this, and hesitated for a while before he spoke to Gu Huanli: "The lower official thinks that Li Ce has not yet become a climate, and there is no need to be afraid, if the lower official is His Royal Highness, at this time, he should capture the thief and capture the king first." ”

Gu Huanli understood that the meaning of Lu Xuan's words was nothing more than to let her take this opportunity to expel King Chang from the ranks of contenders for the throne as soon as possible.

It's just that he didn't say anything to Lu Xuanming, but nodded himself: "This king knows it in his heart." ”

Aware? Lu Xuan looked confused when he heard this, he didn't even know what he said in his own heart, I really don't know what Gu Huanli planned?

However, seeing his pretentious appearance, he must not have planned to say it explicitly, since this is the case, Lu Xuan didn't ask any more, and then nodded: "In short, Your Highness must be careful in everything." ”

It was rare to be cared about by Lu Xuan like this, Gu Huanli's face was still dark, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face at this moment: "Thank you Lu Lingshi for your concern." ”

It was obviously a common sentence, but coupled with Gu Huanli's expression at the moment, Lu Xuan always felt that he was being teased again, and then planned to find an excuse to escape from him.

But he stopped him: "Wait a minute, this king has something to look for you." ”

Lu Xuan was speechless, Gu Huanli didn't say a word when she didn't come, and now she came to the door and it was either this or that, Lu Xuan really didn't know if Gu Huanli was really in trouble, or if he thought she was idle and panicked and had nothing to do.

But even if she thought so in her heart, after all, she was His Royal Highness, and Lu Xuan didn't dare to contradict it, and tried to calm herself down, so she asked Gu Huanli with a smile: "I don't know what else Your Highness has to order?" ”

Gu Huanli nodded indifferently when he heard this: "It's not an order, it's just that someone said they want to see you." ”

"Someone saw me?" Lu Xuan was surprised, who wanted to see her for no reason, and made an appointment to meet her in the Murderous King's Mansion?

Before Lu Xuan could think clearly, there was a report from the people of the Fierce King's Mansion outside the door: "Your Highness, Your Highness the County Lord has arrived." ”

Hearing this, Lu Xuan reacted, it turned out that the person who wanted to see him in Gu Huanli's mouth turned out to be Shen Xixu, who made him feel guilty for a while a few days ago.

Previously, because of those messy things, Shen Xixu was sad, and Lu Xuan was still a little reluctant to do so, and she hadn't thought about how to face her, so she didn't think that she would take the initiative to come to the door.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and leaned down towards Shen Xixu with an extremely respectful and polite look: "I have seen His Royal Highness the County Lord." ”

Shen Xixu was still lonely when he heard this, and he was stunned for a long time before he spoke to Lu Xuan: "Calm down, the county lord is here to listen to your explanation today." ”

Lu Xuan couldn't help but be stunned: "Explanation? ”

She asked casually before she reacted, Shen Xixu couldn't accept the sudden news that Lu Xuan is daughter was before, so she didn't even have the slightest chance to explain.

After calming down for a while, she turned back halfway to ask Lu Xuan for an explanation, Lu Xuan wanted to clarify the matter with her early in the morning, since Shen Xixu came to the door, she naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity.

Lu Xuan thought about it and was about to speak, but when she raised her eyes, she inadvertently had a momentary intersection with Gu Huanli's pair of Ling eyes, and she couldn't help but have a burst of worry in her heart, and she didn't know how to open her mouth for a while, so she only glanced at Gu Huanli a few times.

Gu Huanli immediately understood Lu Xuan's intentions, and then nodded at her: "Say it." ”

He motioned to Lu Xuan to tell Shen Xixu all the things about his disguise as a man, so as to win her forgiveness.

Lu Xuan has always had a good impression of Shen Xixu, and if possible, she really wants to become a confidant and friend with her.

Seeing Gu Huanli's permission, Lu Xuan nodded and randomly followed Shen Xixu towards Gu Huanli's study.

When he arrived at the door, Gu Huanli left by himself: "You guys have a good chat, this king will not be here to accompany you." ”
