Xiao Yichen walked out from behind the desk and led Ming Ran to the side of the chair and sat down.

Ming Ran pursed his lips, lowered his head and quietly glanced at him, and said straight to the point: "Xiao Yichen, what's the matter with Lu Yongzong?" He's not your general? ”

"He is my general, but he is actually the emperor's man."

"Then he fabricated the matter of the Hou Mansion this time?"

Xiao Yichen groaned slightly, picked up the tea cup on the square table, the tea was cold, and he still took a big sip, "Yes." ”

Mingran stood up excitedly, "So my eldest brother was really wronged?" What crime will the emperor convict of the Hou Mansion? ”

"Whether he will convict or not acquit the Hou Mansion depends on you, and the matter is imminent, so he will be desperate to press the Hou Mansion on trumped-up charges."

Mingran was a little disappointed in her eyes, and her attitude towards Xiao Yichen made her feel very disappointed.

She stared at him and asked word by word, "So you knew it from the beginning?" ”

Xiao Yichen looked at the corner of the table and nodded, not daring to look at her.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Her eyes were reddened and she stared straight at him.

Xiao Yichen was silent, sitting on the chair like a wood carving, motionless.

Mingran slowly took two steps closer to him, tilting his head to look at him, "Are you talking?" Why didn't you tell me early in the morning? ”

Xiao Yichen saw that she was getting closer and closer from the afterglow, so he had to look at her, was silent for a long time, and said, "Even if I tell you, I can't change anything, and it's ......."

"And what?"

"Then he will doubt the relationship between you and me."

Mingran tilted his head in disbelief and looked at him again, "You're trying to gain his trust?" ”

"Yes."

"But he's going to make me his queen, and that's how you ...... Don't care? She turned her back to him, her face disappointed.

There was silence in the room, and there was not a sound behind him.

Ming Ran finally used up all his patience, turned back angrily, and said loudly: "Xiao Yichen, you bastard." Have you forgotten? At the beginning, you could have left everything behind and run away from my marriage, but now, how did you become so cowardly? Why are you so cowardly? ”

She roared hard, and tears were pouring down her face.

Xiao Yichen looked at her, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his heart ached slightly.

He admits that he has really changed since ancient times, he has become cautious, he has become far-sighted, every word, everything, he has to think about the long term.

Long before King Run's rebellion, he knew that Xiao Yiqian was going to use the Hou Mansion to coerce Ming Dye later.

It was Xiao Yiqian who was testing him, if he told Ming Ran, it wouldn't change anything at all, and it would make him lose all trust in Xiao Yiqian.

After making so much planning before, of course he can't give up all his efforts for something that won't change.

"Don't you really explain?" Tears ran down his cheeks, dripping down.

Xiao Yichen got up and hugged her.

"Xiao Ran, now that the Queen Mother is seriously ill, even if he canonizes you, he can't marry you immediately."

Ming Ran pushed him away, "You're asking me to marry him?" ”

Xiao Yichen opened his mouth and sighed again.

Of course, he couldn't let her marry into the palace, but at the moment he was not sure that he would be able to resolve the matter.

Xiao Yiqian wanted to marry Ming Ran and planned for many years.

"Wait, okay?" He asked softly, looking at Ming Ran apologetically.

Mingran sneered a few times, "What are you waiting for?" Wait for my eldest brother to be convicted? Is the Hou Mansion in trouble? ”

"Don't talk angry, what else can you do now besides waiting?" Xiao Yichen stepped forward to pull her.

Ming Ran shook off his outstretched hand, "Xiao Mo, do you know what I'm sad about?" I'm sad that you obviously know Xiao Yiqian's plan to deal with the Hou Mansion, but you didn't tell me at all, even if I can't change anything, you should at least stand by me, but now, I don't know what you mean to me, is it with the attitude of passers-by watching the play, or is it just because we come from the same place? ”

She wiped away her tears, sobbed and said, "Why can't I feel that you have feelings for me, am I being amorous?" ”

Xiao Yichen's face was full of helplessness and distress, he wanted to hold her hand again, "Alas, Xiao Ran ......"

Ming Ran still shook his hand and said disappointedly: "Xiao Yiqian wants to marry me, there is no one in the harem, but you ......"

With a tearful face, she shook her head with a wry smile, then looked at him deeply and ran out quickly.

Xiao Yichen chased two steps and forcibly stopped.

This play, presumably someone will tell Xiao Yiqian about it.

But everything today is for him to perform a play, but will Ming Ran take it seriously?

Why did the gaze she look at when she left made him feel a little uneasy in his heart.

Xiao Yichen sat back in the chair, feeling restless left and right, and suddenly remembered Ming Ran's last words.

"Xiao Yiqian wants to marry me, there is no one in the harem, but you ......"

What does this mean?

He strode to the door and shouted loudly towards the outside of the courtyard: "Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu? ”

Uncle Liu ran over from outside the courtyard in a panic, panting and said, "Lord Wang." ”

He stood in front of the door frame, his face was cold, and asked sternly, "What happened before the county lord came to the study today?" ”

Uncle Liu swallowed, "Lord Fenghua met Mrs. Lu today. ”

Xiao Yichen's heart suddenly chuckled.

Lu Wufei is Xiao Yichen's concubine, and when he crossed over, the concubine room already existed.

Later, he found out that although Lu Yongzong's concubine was Lu Yongzong's concubine, she was Lu Yongzong's favorite little daughter, and it was also because Xiao Yichen promised to have a princess in the future, so he raised her as a side concubine.

At that time, Lu Yongzong was just a small deputy leader, and naturally he couldn't turn the dignified prince.

Later, after Xiao Mo crossed over, he began to plan military power, and began to pay attention to the people in the army who could benefit him, and Lu Yongzong was also among the people he valued.

Therefore, he is different from Lu Wuyu.

"What did the county lord ask?"

Uncle Liu lowered his head and recalled, "The county lord also asked which Lu Mansion Mrs. Lu's mother's house was, and then asked when Mrs. Lu entered the palace. ”

Xiao Yichen breathed a sigh of relief.

Uncle Liu thought about it again and said, "By the way, the county lord also asked the prince if he was good to her, and asked if the lady had any heirs." ”

Xiao Yichen's face darkened, and his eyes revealed a deep uneasiness, "What's wrong with her?" ”

Uncle Liu glanced up at Xiao Yichen, and didn't understand why the panic in his tone was, so he said truthfully: "Mrs. Lu said that the prince treated her very well, and also said that there was no princess in the palace, her status was low, and she had no heirs. ”

Xiao Yichen took a deep breath and spit out again.

It seems that this is the reason why Ming Ran is angry today.

Uncle Liu saw Xiao Yichen stunned in front of the door, "Lord Wang? Is there something wrong? ”

Xiao Yichen retracted his thoughts, waved his hand, and motioned for Uncle Liu to retreat.

Uncle Liu nodded in agreement and walked away.
