"Then you have to live as a man for the rest of your life? When ordinary women reach your age, they have to start thinking about choosing a husband who will be with you for a lifetime. ”

Shen Xixu talked about this kind of thing for no reason at a young age, which really made Lu Xuan a little embarrassed, she really had never thought about her marriage before.

Lu Xuan fell into a moment of hesitation, and seeing that he was silent, Shen Xixu remembered one thing that had been confusing him, and then asked her:

"So those people outside spread the word that you and my imperial uncle had a good relationship with Longyang, but in fact, you are a concubine?"

Shen Xixu couldn't help blushing a little when he said this, but after listening to her words, he turned even more red and turned into Lu Xuan.

She didn't think about it and hurriedly denied it: "What did His Royal Highness the County Lord say?" How can I have anything to do with His Highness? ”

originally denied it, but when Lu Xuan said this, the whole person was dodging, and Shen Xixu couldn't help but turn his back on her, such a move really had to make people think in the direction of being a thief.

Although Shen Xixu is young, he can be regarded as a ghost, how can Lu Xuan's reaction be hidden from her?

Without saying a word, she rushed in front of Lu Xuan again: "So you like my imperial uncle, right?" ”

Like? What is this self-indulgent word?

Lu Xuan continued to deny: "Lu's status is low, and he doesn't dare to cling to His Royal Highness the Fierce King, and I ask His Royal Highness the County Lord not to say these unrealistic jokes to Lu again." ”

Shen Xixu shook his head seriously when he heard this: "I'm not joking, I've never seen Uncle Huang so attentive to anyone when I'm so old, do you know how decisive and unkind he was in the past?" ”

Lu Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, she had heard of the violent and unbridled temperament of the fierce king before she met Gu Huanli.

But after Lu Xuan saw him in person, he never noticed any rumors in him, just because people outside slandered him with false rumors.

But now even Gu Huanli's niece Shen Xixu has said this, is he really such a person before?

Lu Xuan was suspicious, and couldn't help but ask Shen Xixu: "Your Highness, was he really as brutal and terrifying as the people said in the past?" ”

Shen Xixu nodded unexpectedly, and then paced beside Lu Xuan helplessly, while responding to her:

"But it's not, if it was before, no one would say that he was deceiving him, even if there was any way to his eyes, he would let that person survive without saying a word."

"Do you know about these harsh punishments in the Criminal Department now, right?" Shen Xixu asked Lu Xuan again in the middle of speaking.

Lu Xuan nodded ignorantly, and Shen Xixu immediately asked, "Then what do you think of the formulation of these harsh laws?" ”

Lu Xuan hesitated for a while but shook his head: "I feel a little unkind." ”

She said it very tactfully, but Shen Xixu could also hear that Lu Xuan meant nothing more than accusing these words and deeds of being too vicious.

Shen Xixu snorted coldly when he heard this: "Then do you know who is the person who formulated these severe punishment laws?" ”

According to Lu Xuan's original thoughts, it was probably either Emperor Liang Qin or a high-ranking official of the Criminal Department.

But seeing that Shen Xixu's appearance seemed to be someone else, Lu Xuan couldn't help but have a terrible thought in his heart, and hesitated for a long time before he tentatively spoke: "Could it be His Highness?" ”

Shen Xixu nodded: "It is indeed my imperial uncle, and it was formulated when he was a teenager." ”

Teenagers? Lu Xuan really couldn't imagine how a mere teenage boy could have so many cruel thoughts in his heart, which made her feel a little afraid of Gu Huanli in her heart.

But Shen Xixu suddenly changed his attitude again, and comforted Lu Xuan: "But you don't have to be afraid, my imperial uncle has been in exile since he was a child, and when he was ten years old, he saw his parents die in front of him. ”

"Ten?" Lu Xuan was surprised, thinking that Gu Huanli must have been sad at that time.

Shen Xixu nodded: "Well, I heard that the imperial uncle was only taken back to the palace later, because he was not very familiar with the children of the royal family, so he was not welcomed in the past, and even later became a general was forcibly excluded by the imperial family." ”

"Isn't it because His Highness is strong in martial arts and cares about the people?" Lu Xuan thought so.

Shen Xixu couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous: "Strong martial arts and caring for the people? I heard my mother say that Uncle Huang originally didn't know anything about martial arts and the art of war. ”

How can a person who doesn't know martial arts and the art of war be so strategizing and invincible? Lu Xuan couldn't believe it.

Shen Xixu couldn't help but feel sorry for her seemingly tall imperial uncle, and saw her sigh deeply: "The imperial uncle was just forced into that situation, and he had to find a way to protect himself." ”

Shen Xixu's words simply refreshed Lu Xuan's cognition of Gu Huanli.

She originally thought that Gu Huanli was a god of war who was above 10,000 people and admired by everyone, but she didn't think that such a person would be forced by life like herself.

Forcing a powerless person into a terrifying god of war, Lu Xuan couldn't imagine how much pain and price he paid.

"And then?" Lu Xuan couldn't help but become interested in Gu Huanli's story, and immediately asked Shen Xixu.

Shen Xixu regarded Lu Xuan as a close friend, and naturally he would not be stingy to share what he knew with her, and then lowered his eyes and said to her:

"Originally, those people in the royal family wanted to use the battlefield to get rid of my imperial uncle, but I didn't expect him to come back alive later, and he became a well-known god of war.

It can be seen that Shen Xixu still cares about his imperial uncle.

After a pause, Shen Xixu continued: "Now that I think about it, it's good that my mother took care of the imperial uncle a lot, otherwise he would really be helpless in this huge Shengjing City." ”

No wonder Gu Huanli doesn't move around much with the royal family until now, and he also has a lukewarm attitude towards Emperor Liang Qin, but he is only quite kind to the eldest princess and his niece.

Although Gu Huanli's current power no longer needs to rely on anyone, it can be seen from his attitude towards the eldest princess and Shen Xixu that he must also be a chivalrous and courageous person who knows how to repay his kindness.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan's panic about Gu Huanli has now been smoothed out by his bumpy experience.

Lu Xuan was thinking about it, and Shen Xixu mentioned the matter of Fang Cai to her again-

"My imperial uncle has always been indifferent to people, and I have never seen him treat others like you."

"Have you ever heard of His Royal Highness's attitude towards killing women if they don't like them?" Shen Xixu asked Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan nodded, in her impression, the first time she saw Gu Huanli was on a luxurious sedan chair.

At that time, there was a girl who "didn't know whether to live or die" showed her heart to Gu Huanli and rushed to his sedan chair, but he ignored it without thinking about it.

At that time, Lu Xuan heard the people around him mention, "This girl is really bold, I have heard that His Royal Highness the Fierce King will kill women if he doesn't like them, I really didn't expect to see a woman on the street in my lifetime to be so courteous to him."

Seeing that Lu Xuan already knew Gu Huanli's temperament, Shen Xixu immediately looked at her: "That's right, you are also a woman, but my imperial uncle did not kill you, but also protected you everywhere, why is this?" ”

"Maybe it's a coincidence? Or has His Highness's temperament suddenly changed drastically? Lu Xuan casually blinded a few reasons and wanted to get by.

Shen Xixu snorted coldly: "Coincidence? I've never seen him do this to others, and if his temperament has changed drastically, it has nothing to do with you. ”

Shen Xixu's words had already clearly expressed Gu Huanli's heart to Lu Xuan for her.

It's just that Lu Xuan still can't believe that such a high-ranking person would have thoughts about himself.

Lu Xuan still shook his head: "Presumably His Royal Highness the County Lord is too worried, although I am a woman, but after all, I am different from ordinary women, His Royal Highness promoted me, maybe because he took a fancy to my talent, and thought that I could help him win a place in the court." ”

Shen Xixu was so angry with Lu Xuan that he was speechless, and he jumped to his feet before he hurriedly retorted:

"My imperial uncle is already going to be windy and rainy, so why fight for that place? To put it mildly, even if he really wants to fight for something, there are countless virtuous ministers and good generals under him, where is there a shortage of you?

It's not a good thing to say, but it's not unreasonable.

Gu Huanli's current power is even afraid of Emperor Liang Qin, if he wants anything, it is just a matter of one sentence, I think Lu Xuan overestimated himself.

The two fell silent, although Lu Xuan's speculation had been rejected by Shen Xixu, it did not mean that she dared to think in the direction that Shen Xixu said.

After hesitating for a while, Shen Xixu looked at Lu Xuan again, and advised her bitterly: "Ah Xuan, you listen to my advice, my imperial uncle is really ......."

"Brother, brother!" Before Shen Xixu could finish speaking, a familiar voice came from outside the door.

Lu Xuan was stunned when he heard this: "Nanjun? How did he get here? ”

"Nanjun is ......" Shen Xixu was a little familiar when he heard the name, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Only then did Lu Xuan ask her for instructions: "Your Highness, it seems that my brother is here." ”

Shen Xixu swallowed the words he was about to blurt out, and turned to look at Lu Xuan in surprise: "Your brother? So personal? ”

Thinking about it, it must have been Lu Nanjun's posture in the Fierce King's Mansion that shocked Shen Xixu, and Lu Xuan heard her so "appreciation", and she really couldn't hold her face for a while.

Seeing that the voices outside were getting more and more noisy, Lu Xuan's face became more and more ugly, so Shen Xixu didn't ask any more, and then spoke: "Since it's your brother, let's go out and have a look." ”
