Chapter 648: One Step Ahead
So before asking Cangqing about the identity of Ming Xuan, although Lin Zuiliu wanted to communicate with Ming Xuan, he also had a plan in his heart, and there were really many things in this, so he couldn't tell Ming Xuan too much.
Ming Xuan nodded, feeling a little lost in his heart.
While everyone was discussing with great interest, King Jing appeared.
However, it was an unusual thing, and everyone did not rush to salute in a particularly panic, and they all greeted King Jing lightly, like a gentleman's friend, but not like a king and a courtier.
Interesting.
Liao Luan looked at this scene and smiled slightly.
"Ming Xuan, that big snake, don't let it out so let us see." Suddenly, a hearty voice came into everyone's ears, and Liao Luan and Lin Zuiliu also looked at the voice, but they had an unfamiliar face.
It seems that he is also a doctor who came to participate in the Hundred Poisons Banquet.
"The protagonist is this toad, the big snake, and I'm afraid he will hurt people if he releases it." Ming Xuan responded lightly.
He did bring it, but in the box.
"What hurts don't hurt, you didn't control it very well during this breakfast." The man laughed dryly, obviously trying to force Ming Xuan to release the snake.
Cang Qing on the side frowned, but he was a little worried about Ming Xuan, but he was also curious about how Ming Xuan would respond.
In fact, the more he stimulates him like this, the more he will do the opposite according to Ming Xuan's temperament.
Cang Qing was right, Ming Xuan was about to open his mouth to refuse, subconsciously glanced at the box beside him, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The next second, I saw him squat down in a panic and open the box-
The giant python in the box is actually dying!
"Ouch! That's a big deal. The man feigned surprise.
"Ming Xuan, let you open the box and see, this snake is about to suffocate inside."
Ming Xuan had a cold face and glared at the man silently, then stretched out his hand and gently and nervously tested the snake's breath.
In the end, it is the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and the guards in this palace are concentrated there.
"The decoration of this imperial study is really good, much better than the North Ring." As soon as he entered, Mu was not afraid, and praised it with a chuckle.
"Be careful." Meng Jiaochen anxiously diluted Qing Xuan's lips and gestures, warning Mu to regret.
The two of them suddenly heard some movement outside, Meng Jiaochen frowned, and took the wooden hand and fell to the narrow open space under the table.
Mu regretted that he only felt that his heartbeat had missed half a beat for a moment, and he couldn't tell whether it was nervousness or ...... Heart?
"This ......" was distraught, and the footsteps went away.
Mu regretted that he suddenly felt. When I came across a small ball of paper in my hand, I reflexively took it in my hand and unfolded it to look at it.
It's a letter!
"When is it, do you still have the heart to watch ......" Meng Jiaochen saw that she was distracted again, and really wanted to talk about her.
Halfway through the conversation, he choked on his mouth.
Because Mu regretted his gaze was complicated, he flattened the paper, and the content on the paper was facing Meng Jiaochen's face.
In just one line, the amount of information is too large.
"This man ......," Mu regretted feeling a little incredible.
After all, almost no one knows the purpose of Liao Luan's trip.
"This is the handwriting of Dan Qingxuan." Meng Jiaochen had a cold face, and he didn't even call Concubine Xuan anymore.
After all, she has been a good friend for so many years, and he Meng Jiaochen recognized this trace at a glance.
It's all too familiar.
Plus where is this? This is southern Xinjiang, the hometown of Danqingxuan!
It's definitely her.
After hearing this, Mu felt that things were starting to be a little confusing.
How did Tan Qingxuan know about it, and why did he get involved?
"Without further ado, we have to tell Liao Luan and Ah Liucai quickly."
didn't have time to think about it, at this time, Mu regretted that the matter finally seemed to be a little serious, and the matter of peeking at the books in the imperial study had already been run away from the nine heavens.
Meng Jiaochen neatly folded the letter and put it on his body, and then secretly left with a wooden regret.
"There was a prince named Meng Jiaochen before Beihuan, but does King Jing know?"
In order to make King Jing feel at ease, Dan Qingxuan had to tell some facts.
"Yes." King Jing nodded.
In those years, there was a lot of contact with the North Ring, whether it was a war or a negotiation.
"But after Ximing stops, this North Ring, the prince of the former emperor, isn't it all dead, injured, and rumored to be alive?" King Jing asked.
What King Jing heard, naturally, were rumors from the North Ring Road.
"Yes, but Meng Jiaochen survived, and he has been doing it until now." Dan Qingxuan said lightly, but there was a trace of sadness in her words.
She never thought that what she met at the market at that time was the prince of the Northern Loop.
Looking back now, Meng Jiaochen, who is alone, is really strong.
At that time, I didn't understand anything.
"So, the little prince is now in Nanzhao?" King Jing thought about some of the things that had happened in the past few days and asked.
He didn't have any doubts about Dan Qingxuan in his heart, in the end, he was watching such a big child, King Jing knew what Dan Qingxuan looked like when he was really lying.
"Not really....... but let's put it that way, it's okay." Tan Qingxuan thought for a while and nodded.
It's too chaotic, and it's not appropriate to talk too much about this matter to King Jing.
After all, as long as you achieve your goal, saying too much is not good for Meng Jiaochen, and it is not good for yourself.
King Jing had a sudden realization on his face.
He vaguely understood in his heart why Liao Luan went to Nanzhao first, and then to Nanjiang.
"So you want to take a step ahead of Liao Luan and find Meng Jiaochen?" Although he didn't listen to it completely, King Jing still knew the relationship clearly.
"Since this is the case, Xuan'er will go over and wait for the rabbit first."
Tan Qingxuan solemnly saluted King Jing and prepared to leave.
"Qingxuan!" King Jing spoke hurriedly and stopped her steps.
Dan Qingxuan stopped, but did not look back.
"I also watched you grow up, and I don't want you to get involved in these things, if there are three long and two short, not to mention how sad I will be in my heart, the prime minister, teach me how to explain."
King Jing still tried to persuade Dan Qingxuan to dispel the idea of going to Nanzhao.
"Since you've come to southern Xinjiang, Qingxuan doesn't plan to go home to see, Prime Minister, but I've been missing you very much." Seeing that she didn't react, King Jing continued.
Even though Dan Qingxuan heard his father, he still didn't speak, but his eyes dimmed a little.
"Then Nanzhao, do you have to go?" King Jing sighed and asked.
Tan Qingxuan still didn't speak, but nodded heavily.
She really, there is a reason why she must go.
Even if it wasn't for Meng Jiaochen, her sister Zhang Wan, but the princess of southern Xinjiang, now that Liao Luan suddenly went to southern Xinjiang, she must go and watch!
"Are you serious, for the good of the North Loop?" Seeing that Dan Qingxuan was so persistent, King Jing couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
This kid has been stubborn since he was a child, if he said that he was so persistent today for the sake of Beihuan, he would not believe it in his heart.
After all, she is a native of southern Xinjiang in her bones, why is she so concerned about the affairs of the North Ring.
Probably there is something hidden, and I don't want to talk to this king.
King Jing thought to himself.
"I like the little prince in the North Loop." Tan Qingxuan said bluntly.
In order to convince King Jing completely, Dan Qingxuan had to drag it all out.
If you don't tell the truth, you can't guarantee it, and King Jing's side will have to take coercive measures.
"You mean, that Meng Jiaochen?" In just one sentence, King Jing was taken aback.
He really didn't expect it to be like this.
"So, when Beihuan was in peace, you agreed so happily, but at that time, you already knew that this sweetheart was the prince of Beihuan?" King Jing continued to ask.
In this way, it seems that a lot of things make perfect sense.
But when Dan Qingxuan heard it, she was speechless for a while, and she didn't know how to explain it.
At that time, she did know, but at that time, she didn't know that she had fallen in love with Meng Jiaochen.
If she knew, she and Meng Jiaochen might not have come to this point.
That's it, King Jing thinks like this, it's not a big deal, after all, she has no intention of explaining, and if she explains it clearly, she can't go back to the past......
Here, after the Hundred Poisons Banquet, Lin Zuiliu was happy, chatting and laughing with Liao Luan along the way.
But as soon as they arrived in the room, Meng Jiaochen and Mu Xianxi looked nervous, and hurriedly told the two of them about going to the imperial study in the afternoon.
After speaking, without waiting for Lin Zuiliu and Liao Luan to speak, Meng Jiaochen took out the letter and handed it to Liao Luan for inspection.
Liao Luan took the letter suspiciously, glanced at it, and the expression on his face was instantly solemn.
Although he is not familiar with Dan Qingxuan, but when discussing peace matters before, Liao Luan has seen the words written by Dan Qingxuan, which is no different from this heart.
More importantly, according to his understanding of Dan Qingxuan, it is not surprising that he can do such things.
"What now?" After Lin Zuiliu found out, he was a little worried.
No wonder King Jing has been hiding it and not telling them about the cloak.
It turned out that he had colluded with others a long time ago.
Hell knows he'll have to stay in this southern Xinjiang for a few more days!
"It's up to now, otherwise you will plan it and try King Jing." Liao Luan thought for a while before speaking.
The lobby of the Jingwang Palace.
"There is still one day left in the Hundred Poisons Banquet, and the princess is really not ready to continue to participate?" Hearing Liao Luan just say that he planned to leave tomorrow, King Jing was a little anxious.
After all, before this Qingqing Xuan left, he pleaded bitterly, and if he could delay Liao Luan for a while, he would delay it for a while.
"Nope." Liao Luan decisively refused.
King Jing was puzzled in his heart.
Cloak thing...... Isn't this Liao Luan going to ask either?
"I'm going to leave early tomorrow morning, I'm afraid that tomorrow morning will disturb the interest of King Jing's hundred flowers banquet, so I'll come here to say goodbye." Looking at King Jing's expression, Liao Luan was very satisfied and continued.
"It's a pity, at the Hundred Flowers Banquet tomorrow, this king is planning to tell the prince the secret of the cloak."
In order to drag Liao Luan, King Jing
Cloak!
Lin Zuiliu felt that King Jing was not simple.
"King Jing is willing to say it?" Liao Luan sounded like a joke, more like a question.
