Chu Xiao and Chu Zhen are said to have a good relationship before, but that was just a matter of the two of them when they were young, and when they grew up, they understood that for them, the struggle for royal power was inevitable, and the relationship gradually became estranged.

It's not about who is right and who is wrong, it's just that they shouldn't have been born in the emperor's family.

"I'll take you back now, and you can talk to my brother about the rest." Bai Ziran said that Lu Ran said that there were so many Chu Xiao's eyeliners outside, and he was afraid that going back with her would attract Chu Xiao's attention, so he still had to find another way to sneak into the Bai family, but Bai Ziran smiled and said that he had already prepared.

Lu Ran changed into the clothes of a maid and returned to the Bai family among the people who came out with Bai Ziran, Bai Ziran said that this is Qinghe City, these people are all people arranged by the Bai family and Chu Zhen, it is because he knows how powerful the Bai family is in Qinghe City, so Chu Xiao does not dare to act rashly.

Smoothly followed Bai Ziran back to the Bai family, Bai Ziran asked Lu Ran to wait for a while, and went to find Chu Zhen and his brother by himself, the Bai family is strictly divided into upper and lower boundaries, everyone is well-trained, these people are all retainers of the Bai family, indeed, if he is Chu Xiao, he will not rashly choose to tear his face with the Bai family.

It was because of the support of the Bai family that Chu Zhen was able to compete for the throne with Chu Xiao, who was the eldest son.

According to Lu Ran's contact with Chu Xiao and Chu Zhen, in fact, both of them have the ability to govern the country, but Chu Xiao is more thoughtful, and on the surface he seems to be a gentle and jade-like man, but in fact, he can get rid of people who are not on the same path as him.

But Chu Zhen is different, his ambition is written on his face, and he is very good at calculating people's hearts, he will not do it himself but is good at killing people with a knife.

Lu Ran understood that the Bai family chose Chu Chen, on the one hand, because Bai Wujian and Chu Zhen had a deep personal relationship, and on the other hand, because Chu Xiao himself was the eldest prince, and according to the tradition of Lingqiao Kingdom, the eldest prince inherited the throne, and the Bai family's support for Chu Xiao was just icing on the cake.

What's the meaning of the icing on the cake, only by sending charcoal in the snow can others remember their kindness, if the Bai family can support Chu Zhen to the top position, they will obviously be able to get more benefits.

It's just that Chu Zhen and the Bai family also have their own calculations, otherwise, when Lu Ran asked Chu Zhen to cooperate and say that the Bai family is the master, he would not be so happy to agree, how can others sleep soundly on the side of the couch, the Bai family has been the largest family in Lingqiao Country for hundreds of years, and Chu Zhen is also afraid of the Bai family.

Lingqiao Kingdom is different from Sunset Country, before the collapse of the Ji family, the Ji family and the Li family were mutually balanced, so the king could rest assured, and although the Tang family was the only one in the Youyou Kingdom, the Tang family and the royal family had a deep relationship, and now they have also received suspicion.

Today is a friend, tomorrow may be an enemy, what remains unchanged is just interests, Lu Ran doesn't like this kind of intrigue and deceitful life, so he wants to avoid these.

Thinking of this, Lu Ran's head began to hurt again, and she desperately tried her best not to think about those dirty things, and it took a while to calm herself down.

It seems that the frequency of my head attacks is getting higher and higher.

Chu Zhen and Bai Wujian were quite surprised to know that Lu Ran was coming, they had all heard about what happened in the imperial capital, they sent spies to the Sunset Country, but they never sent any news back.

"It's not easy for you to leave the imperial capital." Chu Zhen said, just look at Lu Ran's dress.

Lu Ran looked at the maidservant's clothes on her body, she didn't mind what she was wearing at all.

"I came to you to ask you about the whereabouts of your last Dan talisman?"

Chu Zhen shook his head, there was no news for the time being.

Lu Ran was not worried at all that they would take the Dan Fu as their own and deliberately did not tell her the news of the Dan Fu, Chu Zhen and Bai Wujian were both smart people, and it was not good for them to conceal the matter of the Dan Fu, although the Dan Fu was infinitely powerful, but it could only be effective in the hands of the right people.

"Then have you seen Chen Si?" Before, Lu Ran asked Chen Si to take a step forward and come to Lingqiao Country to find Chu Zhen, where is Chen Si now?

Who knew that Chu Zhen and Bai Wujian both said that they hadn't seen Chen Si since they came back.

Lu Ran's heart tightened, Chen Si Mo didn't have something happened on the road, no, if Chen Si really had an accident, Ji You would have sensed, so why didn't Chen Si come to Qinghe City?

She was uneasy and wanted to find Chen Si, but Chu Zhen stopped Lu Ran.

"Although Lingqiao Country is not as large as the Sunset Country, it is still very difficult for you to find someone, and you should know your situation now, if it is discovered by my brother and Mu Bai's people, I may not be able to protect you."

The current situation is different from the past, Chu Xiao is staring at Chu Zhen and the Bai family, Chu Xiao is still inextricably linked with Jiang Nanyu now, if he is accidentally discovered, I am afraid that Lu Ran will get into trouble at that time.

"But I can't ignore Chen Si." Lu Ran was worried in her heart, if something happened to Chen Si, how would she explain to Ji You.

Chu Zhen smiled: "You care about your friends more than you care about yourself." ”

He reassured Lu Ran, Lu Ran's face was too eye-catching, whether it was Chu Xiao or others, it was very easy to recognize Lu Ran, but his own people were different, he would help Lu Ran inquire about Chen Si's news, since Chen Si was from Lingqiaoguo, he could naturally find out his information in Lingqiaoguo.

Lu Ran thought about it for a while, it is true, it is much more convenient for Chu Ran to do things here than himself, Chu Ran took the opportunity to let Lu Ran stay in the Bai family first, and it is not too late to leave after the news of Chen Si, Lu Ran has nowhere else to go now, so it has to be like this.

Lu Ran stayed in the Bai family for the time being, Bai Ziran liked to take advantage of Lu Ran to ask her to teach her body techniques and techniques, Bai Ziran was also talented, and her comprehension ability was very fast, but she asked more about Shen Kaixiao.

Looking at Bai Ziran, who was blushing in front of him, the girl's thoughts were all written on her face, Lu Ran was not a fool, she naturally understood that Bai Ziran's mind had never changed, so she also bluntly said to Bai Ziran that now Sun Tiantian and Shen Kaixiao have a good relationship, and it would be better for Bai Ziran to give up this idea as soon as possible.

Bai Ziran's eyes turned red in an instant, and Lu Ran couldn't help but wonder if she should be more tactful, but the more indecisive some things are, the more trouble will arise, since Shen Kaixiao has no intention, why give Bai Ziran hope?
