On the second day, Nalan entered the palace early in the morning.

Luo Qingluan didn't waste any time, and took Dai Yue and Xu Wei to the mansion where Xiao Yuqi lived temporarily.

I didn't expect Luo Qingluan to visit in person, Xiao Yuqi was not at home, but the housekeeper had already been instructed that as long as Princess Chu came, he would be notified immediately, but it was only half an hour, Xiao Yu

Qi rushed back.

"I'm really sorry, this palace didn't expect Princess Chu to come back today and give a gift." Xiao Yuqi apologized with a smile, and asked people to sit down with tea, looking a little tired, total

It's not bad to count.

"Seeing Prince Xiao like this, his feet are still covered with mud, it seems that there is something serious?" Luo Qingluan's gaze fell on his feet, and he was very keenly aware of this.

"Where, this palace just went to the canal in the west of the city to see the shipping situation in the capital of Western Chu. It was so crowded that I didn't notice it for a while. Xiao Yuqi smiled and drank tea

took a sip before he said slowly.

After he finished speaking, Luo Qingluan knew that Xiao Yuqi had been busy during this time, and there was almost no extra time.

came to Xichu from Dongwan, saying that he was congratulating Xichu on his prosperity, but Dongwan naturally still had the idea of learning from the scriptures, and even spying on something. Luo Qingluan listened quietly, only looking at Xiao Yuqi

said that the head was the way, with an emotional and serious look, and a little envy.

"It turns out that Prince Xiao is here to observe and learn, and he doesn't even have time to play, which is really admirable." Luo Qingluan said with a smile.

"Where, a rare opportunity, this palace naturally has to grasp it."

Xiao Yuqi looked serious, and smiled lightly like a spring breeze: "This palace and Princess Chu have known each other, and they are also friends, and they don't hide it from Princess Chu, so they will say some things directly." Among the four countries

, It has always been the Dongwan forces that are in the first place, and they are the best, but Western Chu is the latecomer, although there are the military exploits of the king of Chu, but if there is no effort of His Majesty and subjects of Western Chu

, Xichu will not become so rich and powerful as it is now. ”

"Therefore, this palace naturally has to study hard, but if there is anything to learn from, you can take a look. Take the canal in the west of the city as an example, according to the palace, it was when His Majesty the founding of Western Chu was founded

The construction of more than 380 miles not only nourishes the people along the way, but also ...... commercially"

Listening to Xiao Yuqi talking eloquently, without the slightest concealment, Luo Qingluan felt more and more that the man in front of him was not simple.

Knowing that she is the princess of Xichu, although Xichu and Dongwan are currently living in peace, who knows that they will not be enemies in the future? But he still didn't hide it, and openly said in front of her that he wanted to study

The words of progress made her see his ambitions and future prospects.

He didn't hide it from her, so naturally he didn't regard Nalan Ye as an opponent.

Although this seems to be a bit deliberate, showing that he has no selfish intentions and is open, but in other words, except for him Xiao Yuqi, no one else dares to say such things casually

。 It can be seen that he really thinks so in his heart, at least he doesn't want to be an enemy of Xichu now, as long as the two countries maintain a delicate balance, maybe peace can be permanent.

Since Xiao Yuqi thought so, how could he collude with Nangong Wan'er to steal the treasures of North Vietnam?

After discussing with Xiao Yuqi for a while, Luo Qingluan did not express any of his own opinions, but only said a few words and said some of his own opinions at a critical time, but it was enough

Xiao Yuqi was amazed and became a confidant.

"If it weren't for the fact that Princess Chu was a woman, the palace would also be worried that the King of Chu would be unhappy, and the palace would really want to marry Princess Chu Jinlan." I have never talked about it so freely, Xiao Yuqi is too much

Zi, since he was a child, he has been accompanied by countless ministers. But it is rare to speak so freely like today, and the other party still answers, and most of the thoughts can be the same as his.

Excited for a moment, he was a little forgetful and couldn't help but say these words.

Luo Qingluan smiled softly: "Prince Xiao has won the award, but it's just some of my superficial opinions, whether it will be successful or not, it will take time to verify." No matter how much I say, after all...... practice

is the only criterion for testing the truth, and Prince Xiao doesn't have to take it completely seriously. ”

It's just casual and modest, but he didn't expect Xiao Yuqi to hear this, and his pupils flashed.

"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth?" He couldn't help clapping his hands, and the whole person became excited: "Wonderful, wonderful!" Why is Princess Chu casually saying every word, it really makes the palace

Admire it to the extreme. This palace now understands why the King of Chu treats you as Princess Chu sincerely, and only a woman like you can be worthy of the King of Chu. ”

Prince Xiao laughed, what is not worthy of it? King Chu and I are sincere, he is good to me, I am good to him, these are all mutual. ”

Looking back on the past, Luo Qingluan was very emotional.

Xiao Yuqi only saw the present, but he didn't know that the two of them before, if it wasn't for the coincidence, if it wasn't really fate, plus her soul who didn't belong to this world, it was special

temperament and thoughts and demeanor, I am afraid that in this time and space, it is really difficult to find a woman who makes Nalan Ye treat her sincerely.

He's too demanding......

In other words, he should go to the place in her previous life, where there are women who are not dependent on men, each independent and self-reliant, and better than men. There are many smart and beautiful people,

I'm afraid it won't be her turn yet.

"Princess Chu's smile is conceivably really happy and happy, congratulations." Xiao Yuqi didn't know that Luo Qingluan thought of her previous life again, this was her secret.

No one knows.

His eyes were bright, but Luo Qingluan raised his head slightly and looked at him with a smile: "Last time I was in Dongwan, I also had a good conversation with Prince Xiao, and today I feel more and more that Prince Xiao has a lot of bearing and knowledge."

It's hard for ordinary people to reach, but I have a question in my heart, I don't know how to say it? ”

It is rare to see Luo Qingluan like this, Xiao Yuqi smiled lightly: "The princess has something to say, but I don't know what to do?" ”

"It has something to do with Prince Xiao."

"Oh?" Xiao Yuqi's face suddenly turned serious: "But the third brother's hidden illness ...... Isn't it hard to treat? ”

The day before yesterday, he went to see Luo Qingluan, and when Xiao Tianci came back, he asked people to buy medicinal materials, he was already relieved, thinking that since Luo Qingluan agreed to make a move, naturally there would be no big problem. afterward

Xiao Tianci also asked him about the Ice Silkworm, saying that it was needed for treatment, although Xiao Yuqi knew the importance of the Ice Silkworm, as long as he could cure his hidden disease, it was nothing.

But now hearing Luo Qingluan ask this, he suddenly became worried.

"Hidden illness is one thing, but it's not what I'm talking about."

Staring at Xiao Yu Qi's handsome face, those eyes as deep as obsidian, Luo Qingluan seemed to want to see his every expression, whether there was any concealment or whether there was a lie. "Me

I want to ask Prince Xiao, recently Prince Xiao San found a few jewelers to sell jewelry to raise silver taels, do you know? ”

"The third brother actually sold jewelry?" Xiao Yuqi seemed surprised, "This palace really doesn't know, if it weren't for Princess Chu talking about it, this palace wouldn't know that the third brother did such a ridiculous thing." ”

When he came to Xichu this time, Xiao Yuqi naturally knew what he had brought with him, except for the congratulatory gifts given to Emperor Xichu, there would naturally be no shortage of gold and silver. Even if he doesn't want Xiao Tianci to mess around,

But as a prince, he is not short of money to the point of selling jewelry.

What's more, as a man, where did Xiao Tianci get his jewelry?

"If the third brother sells a piece and a half of jewelry, I don't think I will let the princess of Chu come to ask the palace," with doubts, Xiao Tianci looked at Luo Qingluan and said, "I don't know how the princess of Chu knows this."

What's the matter, where did the third brother get his jewelry, did he do something ridiculous again? ”

"It's not a half-piece, it's a ...... 500,000 taels of jewelry! ”

Luo Qingluan said word by word: "I want to ask, Prince Xiao knows the origin of the 500,000 taels of jewels of Prince Xiao's third prince." ”

After Xiao Yuqi heard about the bastard that Xiao Tianci did last night, he suddenly slapped the table and was very annoyed: "This bastard actually did such a thing!" I thought he was treating a hidden disease recently

, should be collecting medicinal materials and cultivating self-cultivation, but I didn't expect him to blackmail! ”

The dignified son actually did the thing of blackmailing the common people and rich businessmen, and the amount was huge, which was outrageous. What's more, Xiao Tianci also detained three people and threatened them with their lives

If the matter spreads, it will definitely disgrace the Dongwan royal family.

Apologized to Luo Qingluan with his fists, Xiao Yuqi's face was frosty: "Thanks to Princess Chu, this bastard has done such a shameful thing, and this palace will definitely teach him a good lesson!" Come...

…”

"Wait!"

The complaint was not intended, Luo Qingluan just wanted to know if Xiao Yuqi was involved in this matter, so he went directly to the door to test it. After finding it unlikely, she said it euphemistically, no

I wanted to startle the snake: "Since this matter has nothing to do with Prince Xiao, then I will rest assured." As for Prince Xiao's side, he still needs to investigate carefully to see what he wants. ”

Just by saying this sentence, Xiao Yuqi understood Luo Qingluan's true intention.

He almost broke out in a cold sweat.

If it weren't for Luo Qingluan coming to inquire and telling him bluntly, if he told Emperor Xichu about this matter directly, he was afraid that the trivial matter would make a big deal and even affect Xiao Tianci's reputation. let alone

Now is the time for Dongwan and Xichu to marry, in case something goes wrong, I am afraid that my father will be angry again.

"No matter what, the palace is grateful to Princess Chu, fortunately, this matter has not made a big fuss, and the palace will supervise the third brother well......"

"It's too late, Prince Xiao ......"

Suddenly, Luo Qingluan looked at Xiao Yuqi with a solemn look on his face: "Do you know where the jewels sold by Prince Xiao came from?" And what is going on with this batch of jewelry? ”

Seeing Luo Qingluan's expression like this, Xiao Yuqi inexplicably had an ominous premonition.

It's not that he likes to joke, he has always been calm and smart, but Luo Qingluan actually said this to him, obviously not to scare him. Xiao Yuqi's heart suddenly burst into a deep voice: "What the hell."

What's the matter, Princess Chu, please say. ”

"I have always regarded Prince Xiao as a friend, so I only came to this matter in person today, if it is the King of Chu who comes today, I am afraid that it will be ...... It's not that I want to scare anyone, it's just Prince Xiao

The batch of jewels in his hand is the treasures of the former Chaobei Yue royal family that was transported from Beijun to the capital of Western Chu some time ago, but was stolen halfway! ”

Xiao Tianci stood up in shock: "What did you say?" ”

A treasure of the North Vietnamese royal family?!
