The morning sun was mottled through the window and projected on the handsome face of the fifth prince, a strange smile appeared on his pale face, he stared at Emperor Cheng and said slowly: "Brother Emperor, how about we make a bet?" We pursue Xue Yi at the same time, to see if she is willing to enter the palace with you or retreat to the mountains and forests with me, you can rest assured, I will never tell my true identity, let alone harm your good deeds. “

Emperor Cheng stared at the face of the fifth prince, and there was a trace of imperceptible ruthlessness in his eyes!

Xiao Yu saw that the eyes of the two were entangled, he knew that the fifth prince should not touch Emperor Cheng's weakness, perhaps Emperor Cheng himself did not realize that Xue Yi was deeply embedded in his life, an inseparable part of his life, and a private property that no one could touch!

Xiao Yu stepped forward and knelt beside Emperor Cheng: "It's not early, it's time for the emperor to drive back to the palace, if the queen mother is suspicious, this matter will be even more difficult." ”

Emperor Cheng stood up silently, if it weren't for Xiao Yu's timely words, I'm afraid he would really kill his own brother!

The fifth prince glanced at Xiao Yu from the corner of his eyes, and said to Emperor Cheng's back: "If you don't speak, I will treat you as a tacit, from now on, you and I will rely on our own abilities to see who can win the beauty." ”

Emperor Cheng stopped and turned his back to the fifth prince, clenched his hands into fists, was stunned for a moment, and then strode out.

Seeing Emperor Cheng's back, Xiao Yu sighed: "You know the emperor's temper, Xueyi is his weakness and his fatal injury, why do you have to pull teeth from the tiger's mouth and shave the dragon's body?!" ”

"If I don't, do you think he'll really understand his own mind? He has been lost in hatred and the dragon chair, only in this way can he be stimulated or he can see his true heart! ”

Xiao Yu couldn't help but be greatly moved: "It turns out that you are doing this for him, but it is too dangerous, I understand his heart for Xue Yi, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows have already shown murderous intentions, I advise you to stop there." ”

The fifth prince smiled: "It's enough for him to have you by his side, I want to ask Escort Xiao, what's the point of me living like this?!" This kind of unsightly life is worse than death for me. “

Xiao Yu was speechless, this is a royal family affair, and it is also a state affair, as a courtier, he can't talk about it, let alone beak it.

"Xiao Yu," the fifth prince stared at Xiao Yu, and said word for word: "I'm just afraid that the emperor will order to kill Lan Guang in order to test Xue Yi's madness, you better plan early, if Lan Guang dies, Xue Yi and him are afraid that there will be no possibility of being together, at that time, I am afraid that he will have no intention of ruling the government, and the newly stabilized Yingyue Kingdom may be in danger again, and the people will live a life of displacement again, which I don't want to see." ”

The crisp sound of "pop" came from the door, and the fifth prince and Xiao Yu looked out of the door at the same time, only to see the palace grandmother staring at the fifth prince in a daze, and the broken tea cup was still spinning on the ground.

Mama Gong came to serve tea on the order of Xue Yi, she didn't want to hear the fifth prince say that the emperor was going to kill Lan Guang when she arrived at the door, her face changed suddenly, the emperor couldn't kill Lan Guang, but she couldn't say the reason for this!

"Mama Gong, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Yu saw that Mama Gong's face was pale, and her body seemed to be trembling constantly, as if she was particularly scared, and asked with concern.

Mama Gong shook her head tiredly, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Let the fifth prince and Xiao Huwei see and laugh, people are old and useless, and they can't even hold two cups of tea." ”

Mama Gong squatted down in amazement to pick up the debris on the ground, Xiao Wei knew that Mama Gong didn't say what she was thinking, looked at her white hair on her temples, and motioned to the maid outside the door to come into the house to clean up: "Come on, send Mama Gong back to the room to rest." ”

Xiao Wei looked at Mama Gong's back, and a hint of foreboding flashed in her heart.

"She must have heard our conversation, but why was she so nervous and scared?" The fifth prince muttered to himself.

Xiao Yi is also puzzled, the identity of Gong Mama has always been a mystery, Xiao Yichen once sent the most powerful detail of Fengwu Villa to find out the details of Gong Mama, the strange thing is that the information about her before she met Xiao Yichen was a blank, as if someone deliberately erased her past, the more this is the case Xiao Yichen The more suspicious she becomes, but over the years, Mama Gong has done her best to Xiao Yichen, and protects her life as if she were her own son, Xiao Yichen naturally regards her as a relative.

Does she have anything to do with Lan Guang?! A bold assumption gradually became clear in Xiao Yan's heart.

Mama Gong returned to her room in despair, and her ears kept lingering with the sentence that the emperor ordered Ling Chi to execute Lan Guang!

As time passed, Mama Gong carefully recalled the details of Xiao Yichen's death, she became more and more convinced that Xiao Yichen was not dead, if it was really as she guessed, then Emperor Cheng would never kill Lan Guang, but how to open up this matter?

Mama Gong was lying on the bed tossing and turning, and she decided to break into the palace and risk death to intercede for Lan Guang!

Although Xiao Yu was secretly worried about Mama Gong, because the fifth prince insisted on visiting Xue Yi, Xiao Yu had to put this matter on hold for the time being, and accompanied him to Xue Yi's courtyard. ”

Xiao Wei waved his hand: "No courtesy, where is Miss Liu?" ”

"Liu Nong has seen Xiao Huwei and met the fifth son." Liu Nong heard Xiao Yan's voice in the house, and hurriedly greeted him, and greeted him with great blessings.

"Is Xue Yike okay?" The fifth prince's concern was beyond words, which made Xiao Yu unable to distinguish the truth from the fake for a while.

Liu Nong looked at Xiao Su, Xiao Nu nodded slightly, signaling that she could tell the truth, and Liu Nong replied: "Back to the words of the fifth prince, the princess made a fuss all night yesterday, and she has been asleep today." ”

Seeing that Xue Yi was still resting, the fifth prince said goodbye and left, and Xiao Yu personally sent him off.

Liu Nong looked at the tall back of the fifth prince, and secretly guessed the identity of the fifth prince, this person seemed to have appeared overnight, claiming to be a good brother of the prince, but no one in the palace knew the old and new servants, if he pretended to come to the palace to cheat and eat and drink, look at his extraordinary temperament, he must be from a rich family, and no matter how big or small, he can tell a lot of Xiao Yichen's living habits and likes and dislikes that only Xiao Yu and Xue Yi know.

Xiao Yu turned around and saw Liu Nongwu standing in the courtyard in a daze, knowing that this girl was thoughtful, she must be suspicious of the identity of the fifth son, and the real identity of the fifth prince is a steel knife, which can kill people at any time!

Now only Xiao Nu, the emperor and the fifth prince themselves know, outsiders don't know, Xiao Nu doesn't want Liu Nong to cause death because of this, so he said intentionally: "Miss Liu has been serving Concubine Jing in the palace for some time, right?" ”

Liu Nong didn't know why Xiao asked like this, so he was stunned for a moment and then said: "For three whole years, in order to monitor the prince of Yu, Concubine Jing and the first emperor sent slaves and maids to the palace, I don't know why Xiao Escort asked this question?" ”

"Nothing, there are not many slaves and maids who can serve her in Concubine Jing's palace for three years, which shows that Miss Liu is an extremely intelligent and clever person."

Liu Nong suddenly understood Xiao Yan's intentions, and smiled: "Although Liu Nong is stupid, he also knows what to ask and what not to ask, what to say and what not to say, Xie Xiao's guard reminded." ”

Xiao Yu looked appreciative and nodded.

A little maid hurriedly ran over, and when she saw Xiao Yu and Liu Nong kneeling on the ground, she couldn't say a complete sentence in a panic: "Xiao ...... Xiao Guard, if you will be at the palace gate, she was killed at the palace gate......."

The little maid cried and couldn't say clearly, Xiao Yan's face changed, and she instructed Liu Nong: "Take care of the princess, don't let her know!" ”

After Xiao Yu finished speaking, without waiting for Liu Nong to speak, he jumped on the roof and disappeared with his toes on the ground.

Liu Nong stopped crying and the little maid: "Don't cry!" Good to speak! What's going on? Where did Mama Gong go? Who was killed at the gate of the palace again? ”

The little maid stopped crying: "Sister Liu, news just came from the palace, somehow, Mama Gong ran to the palace early in the morning to see the emperor, and the Imperial Forest Army guarding the door saw that Mama had no holy decree and no waist card, so they stopped her from entering, and then somehow, Mama was stabbed to death by the Imperial Forest Army......."

The little maid had just finished speaking, there was a knock at the door, Liu Nong turned around, and just saw Xue Yi fall to the ground, she hurriedly ran over, hugged Xue Yi in her arms, and cried and called: "Princess Princess, princess....... quickly pass on the imperial doctor......."

Liu Nong cried, and the little maid came back to her senses, got up, and went to find the doctor.

Liu Nong picked up Xueyi and put her on the soft couch, only to find that her forehead was oozing blood, as if she had been hit by something.

"What's wrong with the princess?" Imperial Physician Qin hurriedly came, put down the medicine box and went straight to the soft couch.

Liu Nong hurriedly stood up: "Imperial Doctor Qin, the princess doesn't know how to get hurt........"

"Don't be afraid, girl, the old man will take a look." Imperial Physician Qin covered the brocade on Xue Yi's jade wrist and put his hand on the ruler.

"Imperial Doctor, how is the princess?" Liu Nong stared eagerly at Imperial Physician Qin's face, not seeing Xue Yi's slowly open eyes.

"Liunon, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Xue Yi still looked a little dazed.

"I remembered, Du Ruo was trampled to death by the people, Liu Nong, take me to see her......." Xue Yi wanted to get out of bed, but her body was weak, and she fell under the soft couch, and her pale face was full of tears.

Liu Nong hurriedly stepped forward to help Xue Yi up, crying silently: "Princess, Du Ruo....... has been buried for many days, and the emperor has crowned her a loyal princess and given her the greatest dignity ........"

The master and servant hugged each other and cried, but Imperial Physician Qin showed joy on his face, got up and hurried out and called someone: "Come on!" Hurry, come into the palace and report to the emperor, Concubine Xue has returned to normal! “

Hearing the footsteps of Imperial Physician Qin far away, Xue Yi stopped crying and instructed Liu Nong: "Liu Nong, now is not the time to cry, I don't know if the palace is dead or alive, for the sake of today, we must first find out the ins and outs of the matter, and you send someone to the palace to inquire about the news, I think the emperor will come to our palace in a while, and we have to prepare to enter the palace!" “

Liu Nong wiped away his tears and nodded: "The slave obeys the order, and the slave will send someone to inquire about the news now." “

"The emperor has arrived!" With a shout, Emperor Cheng strode into the warm pavilion.
