He walked out from behind the door quietly, with a folding fan in his hand, showing his grace. It's just that the worry that involuntarily flashed between his eyebrows made people know at a glance that he was being troubled by some trivial matter at the moment.

"Although I don't have anything to do, this one thing is enough for me to think about it for a few days, but I can't get out." Li Jiu sighed lightly.

Rong Yan smiled lightly, "I may not be able to help you, Your Highness the Nine." However, what can annoy His Royal Highness Nine must also be an extraordinary thing, so let's listen to it, maybe the three of us stinkers can come up with a good way to beat Zhuge Liang? ”

Li Jiu slowly paced into the room, pulled a stool next to her and sat down, the quiet aroma of the room could still fade away the bloody atmosphere that Li Shi had just had recently.

Li Jiu slowly frowned, took a fan and lit the incense candle on the table, "When did you start liking this spice?" ”

He had already sniffed out that this aroma belonged to the dark fragrance of grapes from the Western Regions, which actually contained a faint toxicity, although the smell was very good, but in fact, if it smelled for a long time, it would make people suffer from extremely serious diseases, and it would easily take people's lives without a sound.

So, when he saw that this incense candle was lit and placed in Rong Yan's room, he was surprised. He didn't know that Rong Yan liked these things.

But at the same time, I couldn't help but start worrying about her, although this kind of thing will not be good to the human body all at once, but it is always a poisonous herb.

Rong Yan smiled lightly and said, "Your Highness, you have forgotten, I am now a blind person, and I can't see any flowers and plants." ”

Li Jiu bowed his head in silence, "I have no intention of offending you, Miss Rongyan." ”

"I know."

"Who sent you these incense candles, do you still have any impressions?" Li Jiu was suddenly frightened by one of his own thoughts, and he began to vaguely feel that in fact, the blindness of Rong Yan's eyes was intrinsically related to this kind of incense candle.

Rong Yan didn't think much about it, and replied casually, "It was sent by the eldest lady a few days ago." You know that I just came here, and I always have shortcomings and what to wear, and the eldest lady is thoughtful and takes care of me. ”

"Really?" Li Jiu obviously didn't believe what she said, what kind of person that sister-in-law was, he knew very well, obviously, Rong Yan was confused by her.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the room, and finally couldn't help but ask softly, "Rong Yan, don't you think that for a blind person, sending so many incense and candles is actually a lot of things?" ”

Rong Yan was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Is this ...... You're right. If you don't say it, I haven't thought much about it. Oh, by the way, although I don't need lamps and candles, the palace maids in this dormitory still need light, right? ”

Li Jiu was silent again, the feeling in his heart became more and more uneasy, he stepped forward and extinguished the light and candle, and the room became dark.

"What did you just want to tell me?" Rong Yan remembered the topic that she hadn't finished talking about just now, and brought it up again.

"It's about the fourth brother, although he thwarted the second brother's battle for the heir this time, but to a large extent, his team and forces were not only exposed in broad daylight, but even lost a lot of people and financial resources. What I'm currently afraid of is that although the fourth brother will sit on the throne as he wishes, but. He won't live in peace for the rest of his life. Li Jiu sighed frequently, and said with embarrassment. Rong Yan smiled after hearing this, "Your Highness the Nine, there is such a story in my hometown, there are two big yellow dogs in the east of the village, they are the most brave big dogs in the whole village, many small dogs are afraid of them and dare not approach, but one day, these two big dogs fought because of a piece of meat and bones, and one bit the other to death. And guess what? ”

Li Jiu frowned, obviously, this woman compared her two brothers to two yellow dogs fighting for meat and bones, but she couldn't bear it, so she had to continue to talk, "What's the result?" ”

"As a result, the puppies who had been watching the excitement from the side also wagged their tails, and they dared to openly compete with the big dog for meat and bones, which can not but be said to be an expected thing, after all, the trees are falling and scattered, and the walls are being pushed by thousands of people, these puppies also know how to judge the situation and can unite the front at this time, which is quite smart."

However, what they didn't expect was that at this time, the big dog divided the meat and bone into many small pieces and gave them to the puppies who had just come to help when they were fighting with another big dog. So, the puppies quickly stood behind the big dog and shared the delicious food with him. ”

"When the other dogs saw this scene, they immediately understood, it turned out that they could eat meat without having to fight with the big dogs by themselves, so the front they had just unified soon collapsed under the big dog's move."

"How? Your Highness the Nine, isn't this story quite interesting? You say, is it sometimes easier and clearer for animals to be intelligent than for humans? Rong Yan finished telling the story and turned around to look at him.

Li Jiu suddenly realized that he patted the palm of his hand with a fan, and nodded yes, "You're right, it seems that this big yellow dog is actually a smart person, oh no, it's a smart dog." ”

Using a little interest to break up the opponent's front, this kind of pediatric trick, it is ridiculous that he and the fourth brother did not expect it.

I feel very ashamed to say it.

"Miss Rong Yan, your insights and cleverness are admirable, it seems that the fourth brother is really very good and discerning, and I finally understand why the fourth brother disdains the most beautiful pearl on the grassland, Qiqige, but for you, a Han girl, I like it so much, even ......"

"Even ...... Since he came back from the Great Qi Kingdom last year, he has been hanging your portrait in his study, and he still thinks about your appearance every day to trace and paint. It was not in vain that he put his mind to it. Li Jiu said very emotionally, it is really not easy to make the woman in the picture of the fourth brother who has a very high vision for him.

As soon as Li Jiu's words were finished, Rong Yan showed a strange expression, "It turns out that you already know who I am, and you deliberately don't say it, you are a ...... It's really scheming! Rong Yan admired His Royal Highness the Nine. She said as she followed the example of their Xiliang people, put her arm on her chest, and saluted.

Li Jiu smiled, "It's time for me to worship you now, after next month, you will be my fourth sister-in-law." Ninth brother, I'll say hello to you and the fourth brother first. ”

Speaking of this, Rong Yan couldn't help but sigh softly, "Your Highness the Nine, since you already know my identity, you should also know something about my past, it's not a secret, I already have someone I like, and I also have a skin-to-skin relationship with him, the truth of husband and wife." Such a me...... I'm afraid ......"

Li Jiu waved his sleeves, "No, Fourth Brother, he is definitely not a man who cares about these things, could it be that he knows nothing about the things I know?" Li Jiu said with great certainty, Rong Yan listened to his tone and couldn't change, and couldn't help but sigh again, "Your Highness the Nine, in fact, the Fourth Highness is about to ascend to the big treasure in the near future, so why bother not to go with my little girl?" I just want to live a few days of peaceful life, isn't this okay? ”

"Your Highness the Nine, you and Li Xian have always been as close as one person, can't you persuade him?" Rong Yan said with a little pleading.

The folding fan in front of him opened with a bang, Li Jiu shook the fan with a peony, and said softly, "The fourth brother is a paranoid man, and no one has ever been able to stop him from doing what he wants to do." Li Jiu also sighed, "Miss Rong Yan, I see that you are still honestly staying in the royal court of Xiliang, and obediently prepare to be my fourth sister-in-law." Fourth brother, he is a man, and he will definitely be good to you for the rest of his life. ”

After listening to this, Rong Yan didn't say more, nodded slightly, and her expression was full of exhaustion, "Your Highness the Nine, I'm a little tired, I want to lie down, that's right." Please don't tell anyone about those ideas, I came up with those ideas for you. ”

Li Jiu hesitated, stood up and said, "Perhaps, it's a good thing to be discovered by others." ”

Rong Yan smiled carelessly, and shook her head at the same time, "No, I don't want to get into trouble now, I just want to let myself live a better, more comfortable, and cleaner life in the last days." I wonder if Your Highness Nine can keep your promise and promise me, a dying man? ”

Speaking of which, Li Jiu was also indisputable, so he had to nod, but he was helpless, "I will keep the promise between us, and I will never leak half of your affairs, don't worry...... Your illness is not incurable, if you just can't see clearly, I think the fourth brother is willing to be your eyes and your dependence. ”

Rong Yan smiled lightly and did not speak.

After Li Jiu left, Rong Yan restrained the smile on her face, groped forward with both hands and touched the extinguished incense candle, and another smile appeared on her face, "Li Jiu, Li Jiu, you are really a kind person." ”

************************

In front of Jingzhao Palace, Li Xian had just settled some of the court's business, and saw Li Jiu walking towards him, the solemn complexion on his face eased slightly, he had just come back triumphantly but he could not be idle for a moment, and the things in the court were more difficult, more and more complicated than he could imagine.

The level of cumbersomeness was beyond his expectations.

"Fourth brother." Li Jiu walked in front of him, looked left and right, and after making sure that there were no suspicious people, he lowered his voice and said, "Fourth brother, you should send some people to protect Miss Rong Yan well." ”

"What do you mean?" Li Shi raised one of his eyebrows and asked.

"Miss Rong Yan's relationship with you is very delicate now, and before your marriage is announced to the world, she may have been killed by others." Li Jiu said very solemnly.

Anger flashed in Li Xian's eyes and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Sister-in-law." Li Jiu calmly spit out these two words.

Li Xi snorted from his nose and said, "Do you dare to provoke me here just by relying on those flags in the hands of my eldest brother?" If you dare to touch her, you are impatient. Come, Lao Jiu, you came just in time, I have something to tell you, there has been a new change in Qi Qi Nuyun recently, they have sent troops to strengthen the guards in Paomapo, it seems that the person who came is not good. I'm afraid that if I sit on the throne, I won't be stable. These people are always on the move! ”

Li Jiu sighed in his heart and said, "Fourth brother, please don't worry, junior brother, I have already helped you think of a good way to solve this matter satisfactorily." ”

Li Xian's eyes lit up, "Ninth brother, are you serious?" Let's hear about it. ”
