The Fox Hill Country is a relatively special existence.

From a geographical point of view, the country of Huqiu crosses the border of Zhongzhou, and it can be said that it is a country in Zhongzhou, and it can also be said that it is a country outside Zhongzhou; From a political point of view, the Fox Hill Country, as well as its location, has never been clear in history which side of the country is close to, and it has been strong and declined, and it is still a neutral country with an unclear attitude, and sending an envoy to visit the Yuan Kingdom has been a breakthrough move that has surprised the countries.

Due to all kinds of uncertainties, Wen Jingyuan thought a lot about arranging the residence of the Foxhill Kingdom, and finally arranged the envoy group of the Foxhill Kingdom to live temporarily in a palace far away from the other four countries at the suggestion of Lian Song, which could be regarded as another way to warn this small country that was in decline - don't be ambitious, don't collude with other countries to plot the Great Abyss.

As the envoy of the Fox Hill Kingdom, King Rong Yan Beixuan didn't care about this, or rather, he didn't care too much about anything, and when he didn't need to discuss political affairs, he nested in the palace courtyard, frolicking and playing with the two children he brought, and he didn't have the tension and sense of responsibility to go to other countries at all.

There is only one exception to this moment.

It's rare to be in the mood to read quietly, Yan Beixuan just made tea and sat down leisurely, before the book was opened, the water mandarin water duck brother and sister ran over: "Big boy, there is a big brother who wants to see you, he is a very beautiful big brother." ”

"It's rude, water duck, change this problem in the future." Yan Beixuan pretended to be angry, put down the teacup and got up, and saw Nan Rin walking in with a calm face.

"It's him." Nan Rin was not angry, and snorted coldly in his nose.

After understanding who the "he" in Nan Rin's mouth was, Yan Beixuan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly showed a happy expression: "Please-no, no, no, no, I'll go out, I'll pick him up!" ”

The water mandarin ducks glanced at each other and looked up at Nanrin in confusion. Nan Rin's face became even more ugly, and after scolding in a low voice, he followed Yan Beixuan out of the door, his tall back was full of anger, faintly revealing a bit of murderous intent.

"General Nan is still so energetic, you can feel the soaring fire from afar, don't forget to drink some Qinghuo tea in spring and summer, so as not to burn yourself with anger." Unexpectedly, the people who came to visit stood in the courtyard, slightly taller than the Zhongzhou people's physique, which looked slender and slender, and the light eyes were similar to Yan Beixuan's, but they were completely different from Nan Rin's purple and black eyes.

"Excuse me!" Yan Beixuan was quite excited, walked to the man's side in three steps and two steps, and affectionately grabbed the lazy wrist of the chief strategist of the second prince, "Quick, come into the house, I can't let you go!" Really, how many times have I asked you and you have refused to come, why did you suddenly come at a random time? You see, I didn't even have a good pot of tea......"

Chu Ci broke free from Yan Beixuan's pull without a trace, and smiled faintly: "The prince doesn't have to bother, I just want to talk to the prince in private for a few words, and I won't stay for long." ”

"Don't call me Lord Wang, it feels strange...... Yan Beixuan was slightly disappointed, but he still had some expectations, "Xiao Ci, I know you don't want to reveal your identity, but when there are no outsiders, you still call me big brother like before." Come, come into the house, enter the house, and sit down and say something. ”

The title that had not been called for a long time made Chu Ci a little distracted, and he quickly regained his indifferent expression, and bowed slightly to Nan Rin, who was not looking good on the side: "General Nan, I am tired of taking the mandarin duck out for a walk, and I want to say something to the prince in private." ”

Before Nan Rin could answer, Shui Yuan and Shui Yang looked surprised and said in unison, "How do you know our names?!" ”

"Of course he knows, and he even knows who you are." Yan Beixuan looked very happy, bent down and pinched the pink faces of the brothers and sisters, and there was a smug tone in his tone, "When you two naughty bags were still in swaddling clothes, they were almost stepped on by a horse that rushed into the pasture in a frenzy, and it was Xiao Ci who took the risk to hold you in his arms to avoid a difficulty, causing him to be kicked by a horse and lie on the bed for two whole months. Quick, now that you have a chance, don't you want to thank Xiao Ci? ”

The water mandarin duck was confused, looking at the strange big brother blankly, and hesitated for a long time without thanking.

"There is no need to talk about the past, the right thing matters." Chu Ci didn't care if he could hear that thank-you, and urged again, Yan Beixuan asked Nan Rin to take away the dazed brother and sister and close the door carefully.

"I really didn't expect you to take the initiative to come to me." Yan Beixuan smiled bitterly, "Is it for the marriage of the second prince?" If it weren't for him, I really can't think of anything else that could make you come to the door, I've looked for you many times over the years, and you never gave me any response. ”

"I'm here as a second prince's advisor, and I have nothing to do with other identities, and I don't want to talk about anything else."

As if he was accustomed to Chu Ci's cold attitude, Yan Bei Xuanqian smiled and said: "Okay, it's okay, it's not about anything, whatever you want, I just want to see you." Xiaoci, are you still used to living here? I've been here for a few days, and I've always felt wet and uncomfortable, and the food is too unpalatable, far less fragrant than the game in our fox hills—"

"Lord, I said it, today I will only talk about the second prince, and nothing else." Chu Ci interrupted ruthlessly, and when facing the earnest Yan Beixuan, he was not as patient as he was with others.

Yan Beixuan's face froze, and he bowed his head gloomily: "I...... I just wanted to talk to you more. ”

Chu Ci turned a blind eye to Yan Beixuan's depression, and his face was faintly cold: "Let Princess Cai Ning marry the second prince, this is your idea, right?" ”

"Yes, it was my idea." Yan Beixuan readily admitted, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Xiao Ci, you should understand what I did this for." No matter how I look for you, you won't go back to the Fox Hill Country, then I can only come to the Yuan Country to see you, and Cai Ning is the same. Before she came, Cai Ning said to me, as long as she can make you change your mind and help Huqiu Country tide over the difficulties, she would rather marry into the Yuan Kingdom and live with strangers for the rest of her life, don't you understand this decision? I know that what my father did to your mother and son made you feel cold, but the people of Fox Hill are innocent, and you really can't bear to see them fall into misery and ruin their country? ”

Yanbei Xuan's words are sincere and emotional, but Chu Ci is still indifferent: "What does that have to do with me?" Did the people of Foxhill ever think of me as a member of Foxhill? ”

"The past has happened, and there is no way to change it, but I can make up for it - Xiao Ci, you can do whatever you want, even if you want me to die, big brother only asks you to save the Fox Hill Country and save those innocent people! I know I don't have the ability to turn the tide like you, I'm really desperate! ”

"Because you can't help it, you came here to give me a problem?" Chu Ci raised his lips and smiled lightly, his eyebrows were cold, "Since you know my intentions, you shouldn't throw stumbling blocks on the way the second prince is going, doing so will only make me hate you even more." Xu is Yan Beixuan's sad expression reminded Chu Ci of something, he was silent for a long time, calmed down and said: "I also know a thing or two about the situation in the Fox Hill Country, and it is not a day's work to get rid of the eunuchs who are involved in politics, I will have someone send you a letter tomorrow, and you can do it." In exchange, you must go to the emperor to ask for divorce before tonight, if I don't receive news tomorrow morning, I will not interfere in anything in the Fox Hill Kingdom in the future. ”

Chu Ci's answer made Yan Beixuan overjoyed, and he just wanted to agree but thought of the difficulty: "But...... Xiao Ci, there should always be a reason to withdraw from the marriage, and if there is no reason at all, he proposed to withdraw from the marriage, what should I do if Emperor Yuan pursues it? Now that the internal turmoil in Fox Hill is difficult to settle, wouldn't it be worse if you have a grudge with the Yuan Kingdom again? ”

"Why? It's very simple, you just say that you know that the second prince is seriously ill and will die soon, so that's it. ”

Yan Beixuan gasped, his eyes flickering: "Really? Is this an excuse or ...... Is that Highness really terminally ill? ”

Chu Ci didn't answer immediately, his fingertips inadvertently stroked the slightly cool surface of the flute, and suddenly stopped.

"His illness has long reached the point of no cure."

Because of Chu Ci's relationship, Yan Beixuan has always been very concerned about the news about Wen Moshu, and he had heard that the gentle and tolerant second prince was born with a weak body, but he didn't expect to be so cruel that he was on the verge of life and death. The cool air inhaled into his chest made Yan Beixuan couldn't help coughing a few times, his heart moved, and he said, "Since you ...... Since the second prince is dying soon, you will soon have nothing to do, right? After the death of the second prince......"

"He's not going to die." Chu Ci interrupted Yan Beixuan's words again, quite categorically, "I only said that you should use this as an excuse to ask for a divorce, I didn't say that the second prince really has little time, if I have no way to renew his life, how can he delay until now?" As for the key points, you don't need to know, these have nothing to do with the Fox Hill Country. ”

Yan Beixuan was afraid of annoying Chu Ci, so he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, so he had to swallow many questions into his stomach and nodded gently, licking his dry lips: "By the way, Xiao Ci, there is one more thing I don't understand, why did Emperor Yuan specially propose a medical officer to marry in front of everyone?" and the reaction of the second prince, which is really strange and confusing. ”

The complicated relationship between Wen Moshu and Yan Liwu, Chu Ci did not intend to explain it to Yan Beixuan in detail, and only said vaguely: "That Yan girl has a lot to do, you don't have to contact it, the second prince doesn't say it for the time being, it will not be good for you to provoke Junzilou." ”

"Gentleman's Building?!" Yan Beixuan was surprised again, "That Yan Medical Officer is a disciple of Junzilou?" The Yuan Kingdom is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, no one can be underestimated! ”

"She is not a child of Junzilou, but she has a close relationship with a certain young master of Junzilou, maybe she will really become a member of Junzilou in the future." Thinking of the chaotic relationship between Yan Liwu and many people, Chu Ci whispered, not just sighing or chuckling, "No matter how big the trouble is, the second prince and her are destined to be inseparable after all, but that prince is more likely to become her destination." ”

"Why is it the second prince and the prince again...... What kind of messy relationship is this...... "When it comes to political affairs, Yan Beixuan is quite good at it, but it is really difficult for him to sort out the grievances and hatreds of these men and women, not to mention that Chu Ci is incoherent in talking to himself, which makes Yan Beixuan wonder more and more whether he is too stupid.

How can you understand the details if you are not in it?

Chu Ci suddenly remembered her eyes when he first saw Yan Liwu, at that time he never thought that the woman with hidden tenacity and vitality would be involved in this complicated battle, let alone that what hindered Wen Moshu's pace was the unfavorable relationship with Yan Liwu.

"Getting them to know each other is my biggest mistake......"

I don't know if Yan Beixuan heard the whispering, Chu Ci smiled bitterly, and a trace of regret flowed through the young face that always restrained his expression and did not teach others to see through.
