The window sash was suddenly blown open by the strong wind, and the cold wind poured into the room, swaying the lights on the high wooden shelves, and the dusk fire shadow flickered in the room.

Zhuqing got up and walked to the window lattice and closed the window sash, a black shadow flashed on the wall, she immediately turned around, and saw a black brocade man standing in front of the log table in the room.

"Wang Wang...... Father. She shouted, her body froze in place.

Ming's fan-like eyelashes fluttered, and she opened her eyes and sat up.

Zhuqing immediately walked to the soft couch and took the big man on the side to wrap the Ming Dye.

"It seems that the guards of the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion should really be changed." Mingran stayed down and walked to the log table with a smile.

"Fifth brother sneaked into the Hou Mansion at the moment, aren't you afraid of being misunderstood?" She sat down slowly, her clear eyes looking up at the graceful man opposite.

Xiao Yichen sat down on the wooden bench and met her with his eyes, "If this king waits for the middle of the night to come again, wouldn't it be easier for people to misunderstand?" ”

Ming Ran covered his lips and smiled lightly, when he was the chieftain now, the sky had just darkened, if he entered the mansion during the day, he would be discovered, and it was dark outside at the moment, and it should be easy for him to enter and exit the Hou Mansion.

She waved her hand and motioned for Zhuqing to guard outside the room.

Zhuqing nodded, stepped out of the house and closed the door.

Ming Ran got up and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Yichen, and said, "Why did the fifth brother come here?" ”

Xiao Yichen looked in the direction of the door and said, "Do you think An Xu Qiao will hide this matter in order to protect your reputation?" ”

Ming Ran knew that what he said must be referring to Mrs. Su's death from the death of her soul.

She lowered her head and pondered for a long time before she said, "No." ”

Once An Xuqiao knew the secret, he would never hide what he knew after the coffin was opened that day.

Xiao Yichen looked at her and said, "Then what do you think King Run will do if he learns that Shen Xing also died after his soul returns?" ”

Ming Ran was puzzled: "The Shen family is Princess Run's mother's family, and King Run won't let go of this matter?" ”

"Although King Run knows that it is the poisonous hand of the eldest princess, but he also knows that the dead soul is returned to the royal family, he will understand that this matter was ordered by the emperor to the eldest princess, after all, as we all know, no one can get the royal secret medicine, if King Run announces that Shen Xing died of the dead soul, it will undoubtedly be a public announcement of the emperor's crimes to the world."

After he finished speaking, he paused, and then said, "Therefore, King Run will not announce this matter." ”

Ming Ran frowned slightly, for the sake of the overall situation, King Run, maybe he would really hide this matter.

She took over and said, "King Kerun will have a grudge against the emperor, thinking that the emperor secretly killed Shen Xing in order to disintegrate the power of his palace to run?" Will you start to act in order to protect yourself? ”

Xiao Yichen nodded in praise of her intelligence, and said, "Once the emperor knows that you took An Xuqiao to open the coffin, do you think he will think that the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion and the Runwang Mansion are colluding?" ”

Ming Ran stood up suddenly, if King Run made the matter of the return of his soul public, maybe the emperor would not be suspicious, if the emperor knew that King Run had found out everything but kept it secret, he would definitely tie up the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion and the Runwang Mansion together.

Thinking about this, her face was faintly uneasy, "Then I should inform the emperor about the opening of the coffin?" ”

Xiao Yichen got up and approached her, "If you tell the emperor the truth, I think he will understand that you really just wanted to help Miss Su find out the truth about her mother's death that day." ”

Mingran was silent for a while, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Fifth Brother, for coming to mention something." ”

Xiao Yichen smiled and said, "Tomorrow, the emperor will go out of the palace to hunt with Mu Xu." ”

Mingran nodded, "I understand, but why did the fifth brother help me?" ”

Xu never thought that she would ask such a question, Xiao Yichen was stunned for a moment, and said: "This king also went to Mrs. Su's mausoleum that day, and besides, I just told you about this matter, and this king is to avoid suspicion, so as not to think that this king is also involved in this matter." ”

Mingran lowered her head and smiled bitterly, knowing that she was starting to think more about it again, she said disappointedly: "I see. ”

Xiao Yichen saw that her face was lost, and suddenly thought of her drunken appearance after the palace banquet that day, and asked, "Why are you in a bad mood on the day of the palace banquet?" ”

His gaze was fixed on her lowered face.

Ming Ran looked up, her gaze colliding with him, and she saw a hint of inquiry in his translucent eyes.

She raised her chin, thinking of being in a daze with him that day, and thinking of his sarcastic smile at herself, and said, "I lost my temper after drinking, and I made the prince laugh." ”

Xiao Yichen chuckled disapprerovingly, "Take your people back, how do you think one of your maids can find out about the matter of the Runwang Mansion?" ”

Ming Ran snorted coldly, "Fifth Brother promised to help me find out about Mrs. Su, but if I hadn't sent someone to investigate, you wouldn't have told me anything at all." ”

Xiao Yichen couldn't help laughing twice.

Mingran immediately stepped forward on tiptoe and reached out to cover his mouth, "You're crazy, my mother's yard is next door." ”

Xiao Yichen took her and covered her hand, "You look up to your people too much, if it weren't for the guidance of this king, your maids would have been killed by the eldest princess." ”

Mingran was stunned.

No wonder that after Lan Ling found out that Master Su went to the eldest princess's mansion that day, the two of them had no contact, and it turned out that Lan Ling should have been noticed by the eldest princess that day.

But the eldest princess will kill the mouth of Aunt Feng and Mrs. Song, and it is impossible to leave a person who is secretly inquiring, and at the moment, it seems that it is Xiao Yichen's people who cover up the past for Lan Ling, so that the eldest princess does not realize that it is someone she has sent.

Xiao Yichen turned around and opened the door, walked out of the room and jumped to the roof, disappearing.

Mingran walked back to the soft couch and lay down in despair, and she couldn't help but be scared when she thought about it.

Fortunately, I didn't go to An Xuqiao today.

Runwangfu, it seems that it will not be safe in the future.

She has been in the palace all the year round, and she has long known that the emperor is afraid of King Run's power.

Now she really has to listen to her mother's words, and she can't get close to An Xuqiao anymore, so as not to affect the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion in the future.

Xiao Yichen walked on the dark official road back to the palace of the prince of Chen, snowflakes fell all over his body, and the cold swept over him, but he didn't seem to feel it at all, turned around and looked in the direction of the mansion of the Marquis of Ningyuan.

After looking at it for a long time, a beautiful smile rose on the corner of his mouth and turned to leave.

As soon as he returned to the study of King Chen's mansion, the door was pushed open from the outside, and he walked in, looked at him and said: "Qin Tianjian's occupation has been calculated, and the eight characters of the two county lords are not in line with the emperor." ”

Xiao Yichen sat on the mahogany chair in front of the bookcase, "It's expected." ”

What the emperor wanted to marry was Mingran, but because of the words of Rong Guogong back then, he couldn't act rashly.

is nothing more than saying: "The prince told Miss Ming all this, but he was mentioning her, and the emperor had ulterior motives for treating her well?" ”

Xiao Yichen got up and walked to the window lattice, he turned his back to nothing more than that, and said: "In the past, she might have believed in the emperor, but now she is very smart, and after knowing Shen Xing's death, she has a different opinion of the emperor." ”

It was nothing more than walking behind him, looking at his back and saying, "Then why did the prince do all this?" ”

Xiao Yichen turned to look at him, and sighed silently.

It was nothing more than a gentle smile, and everything was clear in my heart.
