When the other officials saw Mo Yan coming in, they saluted one after another

"Xiaguan see the prince."

Without waiting for Mo Yan to speak, the emperor raised his hand directly to those officials: "Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, today is a family matter to discuss, so you don't need to be so polite." ”

"Brother Huang is right, get up." Mo Yan said, Mo Yan should be peaceful, but he knew very well in his heart that the emperor just wanted those officials to think that in front of Mo Yan, everything was up to him, including such trivial things as saluting and greetings.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Lord Wang."

The emperor greeted for a while, and then said: "Second brother, don't go back to the palace to live, bring your family members to the palace, and we can have a small reunion, which can be regarded as a second brother." ”

Hearing this, Mo Yan's eyes darkened slightly, and he said: "Recently, the palace has been busy with the Queen Mother's birthday, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for me to live in the palace with my family." ”

The emperor wanted to do this, not for anything to catch the wind and wash the dust for Moyan, but to find a high-sounding excuse, and then put Moyan under house arrest in the palace.

"What's inconvenient about this, okay, second brother, don't shirk." After the emperor finished speaking, he said justice to the prince on the side.

"You go to the palace immediately and bring the second brother's family into the palace immediately."

"Yes, the minion obeys." Without giving Mo Yan a chance to refute, the prince responded and immediately walked out of the council hall.

However, when the princess went to the palace to invite Lan Xin and them into the palace, he was told by the people in the palace that they were summoned into the palace by the queen mother.

However, none of them expected that Lan Xin and Xiao Chu did not go to the Queen Mother, but were taken to the General's Mansion!

Lan Xin got out of the carriage, only to find that he had been deceived, his face suddenly changed, and he looked at Xiao Chu: "You already knew it, right?" ”

"What did you already know? I don't understand what you're talking about. Xiao Chu deliberately pretended to be confused.

"How dare you tell the truth! Are you not afraid of being beheaded? Lan Xin never thought that the golden edict would say that they had forged it.

Xiao Chu smiled disdainfully: "Who told you that we are falsely spreading the Yi Decree?" But when we entered the palace, we passed by the General's Mansion and turned a corner to take a look, what? You won't even dare to enter the gate of the General's Palace, will you? With your ability, you still want to assist the prince? Do I really think highly of you? ”

Knowing that Xiao Chu was using the agitation method, Lan Xin still didn't accept this breath, and said with a sneer: "I don't do bad things on weekdays, I'm not afraid of ghosts calling the door in the middle of the night, I really haven't been afraid of anyone, I just don't know if some people will be scared in the middle of the night." ”

After Lan Xin finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Chu meaningfully, and a touch of coldness flashed in Xiao Chu's eyes, but it quickly disappeared: "Heh, with such a lowly identity as you, if I hadn't taken you with me, do you think you would have been able to enter the gate of the General's Mansion?" ”

"I really don't want to enter such a place!" Lan Xin said.

As soon as the words fell, a rough voice suddenly came from far and near: "General Ben wants to take a look, which arrogant villain dares to despise my general's mansion!" ”

Immediately, the man who looked no more than thirty years old walked out of the general's mansion, and as soon as Xiao Chu saw him, he immediately smiled and shouted affectionately: "Brother." ”

This man who came out is Xiao Chu's brother - Xiao Ming, who loves Xiao Chu very much, from childhood to adulthood, no matter what Xiao Chu does, he will protect her, no matter what he wants, he will also try his best to get it, maybe because of this, he has developed Xiao Chu's character of flying and domineering and not taking anyone in his eyes.

As soon as he saw Xiao Chu, Xiao Ming's originally tense face suddenly eased up, touched Xiao Chu's hair dotingly, and said with a smile: "I have already married a wife, why are you still so unstable?" If this is seen by outsiders, it will not be a laugh at you. ”

"With my brother here, who would dare to laugh at me?" Xiao Chu said.

"Also, if you dare to laugh, my brother will definitely go up and break his teeth." Xiao Ming said, then glanced at Lan Xin, and continued:

"Xiao Chu, is this the woman who can't get along with you in the palace?" Xiao Ming's face changed suddenly, and the murderous aura of the perennial battlefield suddenly exuded, which was not to be underestimated.

Xiao Chu didn't say anything, just glanced at Xiao Ming with some grievances, Xiao Ming instantly understood what she meant, and his gaze at Lan Xin was even colder: "I despised my general's mansion just now, and now I am bullying Xiao Chu, do you know, in the past, there were so many things that didn't know how to live or die, bullying Xiao Chu, and finally they were all cut off by General Ben and hung on the plaque at the door of their house." ”

Lan Xin sneered in his heart, they are so blatantly bullying people in a group! "Does the general think that with my identity, I can bully the side concubine of the dignified King of Beijing? If that's really the case, isn't the concubine even as good as a subordinate in the palace? Is the general doubting the ability of the side concubine in the palace? ”

When Xiao Ming heard this, the look in his eyes suddenly changed, and he began to look at Lan Xin carefully, and he was able to skillfully resolve his words, the woman in front of him felt that it was not simple, and began to think about dealing with it carefully.

"Sure enough, he is a good speaker, no wonder he can confuse the prince, a foxy thing." Xiao Ming said coldly.

"I really don't dare to be a fox, how can a person like the prince be confused casually? Does the general think that the side concubine is not attractive enough, or does he think that the prince is the kind of person who can be easily blinded? Lan Xin was not the slightest annoyed by what he said, but defended unhurriedly, such a calm and unchaotic style made Xiao Ming feel even more bottomless in his heart, he couldn't say anything to refute at all, and he was really smart enough. Thinking about Xiao Chu's mind, now he finally knows why a person like Lan Xin, who looks ordinary, would overwhelm Xiao Chu.

"You can speak well, and tell you that if you want to assist the prince with your mouth alone, it is simply beyond your strength! General Ben advises you to leave quickly, otherwise, with your little cleverness, you will surely die without a place to be buried. Xiao Ming can only keep looking for new topics, hoping to find Lan Xin's flaws from them, so that he can catch them in person and make a big article, so that Lan Xin will not return.

However, Lan Xin had already expected that they would not let go of themselves easily, so every word they said now was extra careful.

"That's what the general said." Lan Xin suddenly said very respectfully.

"When the general fights on the battlefield, he naturally wants to dance and get guns, but in the south, there are civil officials and military generals, military generals level the world, civilian officials rule the world, and the land that the general fights still has to be governed by civilian officials in the end, so it is still a very important thing to have a mouth that can speak well." After Lan Xin finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Ming with a smile.

Xiao Ming's face is getting worse and worse, to put it simply, he is fighting desperately on the battlefield, it is not as useful as a civil official who dances with a pen and ink, Xiao Ming gradually raised his eyes, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.

"Hmph, clever tongue!" Xiao Ming is a military general after all, such a verbal battle, where can he compare with Lan Xin, he can only end this topic with such an angry sentence.

Lan Xin smiled lightly: "Thank you for the general's appreciation!" ”

"You ......" Xiao Ming almost couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.

Xiao Chu was also furious when he listened to it, and was about to jump out to accuse Lan Xin, but he was grabbed by Xiao Ming and said softly: "You still have to stay in Kyoto for some time, the future is long, you are not his opponent now, don't be impulsive, otherwise you will be the one who suffers." ”

"Brother-" Xiao Chu was full of unwillingness.

"Obedient, you bear with it for the time being, my brother promised you that he would definitely make this woman disappear completely from your eyes." Xiao Ming lowered his voice, and his gloomy gaze shot at Lan Xin.

Lan Xin didn't seem to notice his gaze at all, and stood there calmly, without flinching or fearing.

"I've been standing at the door for a while, let's go in first." Xiao Ming said.

Xiao Chu didn't achieve her goal, her face was reluctant, Xiao Ming kept comforting her in a whisper, and then she entered the general's mansion without interest.

Mo Yan was arranged to live in the Boiling Rain Pavilion, this place he is also very familiar with, in the past when he was not crowned king, he lived in this place in the palace, at that time, his father was still alive, and the two brothers were like ordinary brothers, they would fight together without scruples, but, gradually, everything here has changed, the environment has changed, people's hearts have also changed, brothers and relatives seem to have become strangers all of a sudden, no, they have suddenly become enemies, Mo Yan still can't figure it out, Why does power turn an originally very kind person into a murderous demon without blinking, and I don't understand why brothers become so hypocritical because of power.

In the middle of his thoughts, a eunuch entered the courtyard and broke Mo Yan's thoughts.

"Lord Wang, it's time for dinner."

Only then did Mo Yan realize that the sky had darkened, and suddenly remembered Lan Xin, and immediately asked, "What about the people sent by the emperor to the palace?" ”

The eunuch was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Back to the prince's words, the slave doesn't know who the prince is talking about, and no one has entered the palace today except for the prince." ”

Mo Yan's heart sank, and he had a bad premonition in his heart, and then he suddenly got up and walked out, but as soon as he got up, the eunuch hurriedly ran to Mo Yan, blocked Mo Yan's way, and said eagerly: "Prince, it's time for dinner, the emperor specially told the imperial dining room to make the dishes you liked to eat in the past, the prince should go and taste it." ”

Mo Yan's eyes were slightly cold, the emperor really planned to put himself under house arrest!
