Meng Yong recognized the sound and glanced at Zhao Chen.

"Su Yan, please come in!" His voice was extremely hoarse, and he pulled up the quilt to cover himself with slight difficulty, and after a meal, he wrapped Zhao Chen in, "If you don't think about it, you can sleep for a while." ”

Zhao Chen rolled his eyes and easily broke free of his cloak and sat up.

The door to the outer room was opened, and the visitor paused at the inner door, and then slammed the door and entered.

Zhao Chenzhuo walked over quickly, and pulled people out of the east chamber without waiting for someone to shout.

I didn't let go until I got to the side yard.

"When did you come back?" Zhao Chen looked at the absent-minded Lin Seventeen.

Previously, Lin Xuanchao wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob his relatives, and before this, he asked Lin Qiqi to follow Wei Guogong and his party to the state capital.

"Last afternoon." She sat next to Zhao Chen, hung her head and said, "Grandpa is sick, but the family is hiding it from me, I finally found out from Uncle Bai, and ran all the way back..."

Her voice grew lower, "... Grandpa didn't see anyone, not even me, I asked my father about them, they didn't say what was wrong, Yiyi only said let me not ask..."

"I heard that grandpa made a divorce and couldn't do it, and then I asked myself to disarm..."She looked sideways at Zhao Chen, "Grandpa's illness, is it related to the right to hand over the army?" ”

Zhao Chen was silent.

The turmoil has passed, and the Lin family's military power has been handed over, and everyone didn't want Lin Seventeen to know, but the actual changes in the family still made this simple girl aware of something.

"Yi Yiyou told me about military power." Lin Qiqi continued softly, "Your Majesty doesn't believe in grandpa, even if we get married, we won't hand over a little, grandpa will probably still have to leave the army..."

She paused, a little sad, "Grandpa said before that generals die in a hundred battles—"

Zhao Chen thought about it, but decided to tell the truth.

She pulled her to sit down in a secluded place again, and then slowly explained what had happened recently.

"The old man just couldn't get over for a while, and he always felt that if he handed over the military power, and if he withdrew from the army and was powerless to intervene, the Lin family would decline, so he got into the horns."

Zhao Chen shook his head helplessly, "You don't have to worry too much, after waiting for a long time, the old man will naturally figure it out..."

She was talking, but when she saw Lin Qiqi suddenly burst into tears, she couldn't help but be stunned, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Lin Qiqi wiped the corners of his eyes and slowly raised his head, "Since this is the case, as long as Grandpa sees that the Lin family is getting stronger and stronger, he will have successors..."

"Someone will take over his armor and lead the Lin family to fight on the battlefield..."The light in her eyes was strange, and she murmured, "The Lin family will not decline, it will be glorious again..."

Zhao Chen listened to her, and couldn't help but look her up and down, and his eyes moved slightly.

At this time, a dusty figure suddenly appeared outside the courtyard, and when he saw the two of them talking, he paused outside the moon gate.

Zhao Chen said to Lin Qiqi, "Wait for me for a while." He walked out quickly.

"What happened to come back so soon?"

Yingchun said softly: "His Royal Highness the King of Yu has returned to Beijing, and his subordinates only got the news when they met his personal soldiers halfway, and they didn't catch up with him when they returned temporarily... He had entered the city alone at dawn today. ”

Zhao Chen fell silent after being surprised.

Alone in the city...

She muttered in her heart, silently taking back the letter that had not been sent, as well as the topaz carved tiger pendant.

"Your Highness." Han Feng strode closer, "The East Palace sent an invitation, and the prince set up a banquet for His Royal Highness the King of Chongqing!" ”

"What? Is the King of Chongqing back? Lin Qiqi, who had just approached, asked in surprise, and suddenly thought of something.

Zhao Chen glanced at her and said to Han Feng: "Talk back, I'll pack up and go." ”

——

In the main room, Zhao Chen was rummaging through his clothes, and Lin Qiqi sat silently on the side, glancing at her secretly from time to time.

"Brother Shi'an?" She shouted tentatively, after a pause, she was a little tired again, "Brother Chen~"

Zhao Chen didn't raise his eyelids, picked up a light green silk shirt and continued to gesture.

"Oh, don't play stupid." Lin Qiqi walked up to her, "Can you take me and Yiyi together?" ”

"Not good." Zhao Chen avoided her and looked at the mirror again.

Lin Qiqi moved again, "You can make conditions, Yiyi said that you like to do business the most." ”

"What does the prince say when I take my daughter to a banquet?" Zhao Chen pulled her.

"What's wrong with the prince's banquet?" Lin Qiqi was suddenly unhappy, "And where does he look like a prince?" What is there to make you stutter! ”

Zhao Chen glanced at her with a smile, "Are you holding an enemy and not marrying you?" "It's not that you are bad if he doesn't marry, it's that becoming an immortal is more important than becoming a family." ”

If the crown prince was willing to marry Lin Seventeen, Emperor Chu would not have bothered to collect the Lin family's military power.

"Become an immortal?" Lin Qiqi smiled disdainfully, "Let him become an immortal!" ”

Zhao Chen didn't talk to her about it, he chose a bright red dress, and walked out after wearing it.

"You really don't take me?" In front of the mansion, Lin Qiqi asked again.

"You go back to the house honestly, don't learn from those girls who are in season..."Zhao Chen said and lowered the curtain.

………

Imperial City, Prince East Palace.

When Zhao Chen arrived, most of the people had already arrived.

Listening to the familiar laughter inside, she paused at her feet, subconsciously stroked the clothes on her body, and looked down again.

"Prince Wu has arrived!" Only then did the palace people see her, and they hurriedly raised their voices to report and greet her.

She slowed down her thoughts, limped in, and saluted her head, "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The prince grimaced, nodded faintly, and motioned for her to take a seat.

"Shi'an has made a lot of achievements!" A hearty man's laughter rang out from beside the prince.

She straightened up and looked over.

I haven't seen him for two and a half years, this person has become more and more heroic, his eyes are as bright as stars on his dark and thin face, and he seems to be taller, and he is half a head taller than the prince when he sits...

It's no wonder that those girls in the capital are still thinking about him-

She could see that she forgot to reply for a moment.

"What? Don't you know your second brother? The man asked with a wink and a joke.

She curled the corners of her lips, and before she could speak, someone grabbed her head.

"Second brother, Prince Wu is now a noble man and forgets things, don't say it's you, he even dared to do it a while ago." The Seven Princes Yin and Yang are weird and authentic.

"Huh... What are you doing with this, Shi'an is young and ignorant, we should accommodate as brothers..."The third prince smiled decently, but he touched the bridge of his nose with a faint bruise, and he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.

One sings and one harmonizes, and the cooperation is excellent.

Zhao Chen glanced at them, surprisingly didn't move his mouth or move, bowed to the head and sat down obediently.

It made everyone in the hall feel a little weird for a while.

King Yu was about to say something, but was interrupted by the sound of another announcement from outside.

"Escape to ——!"

Xie Jun was dressed in thin armor, carrying a long sword at his waist, strode in and bowed, and the first thing he said after getting up was: "I haven't seen His Royal Highness the King of Chongqing for a long time, this marquis wants to borrow the Yunying Platform of the East Palace to ask you for advice!" ”

He raised his head and looked at King Yu, his back seemed to be a sheathed sword, "Your Highness, dare to respond?" ”
