After Zhao Xiu finished speaking, he stared at Luo Qingluan for a moment.

She just wanted to test Luo Qingluan to see how she reacted to the news. Although her brother told her the identity of this woman, Zhao Xiu still couldn't believe it. And she was also very curious, if this woman was really the princess of Chu, why didn't she go back to Western Chu, but instead relied on Southern Wei.

After listening to Zhao Xiu's words, Luo Qingluan was nothing, but Lin Yixuan was shocked.

"Xiu'er, what did you say?" He didn't expect to hear such astonishing news.

The people did spread the matter of Bai Yixuan and Nalan Ye, but according to his spy report, this matter was announced by Bai Yixuan in the court, and it was opposed by the courtiers when he was in court, so Bai Yixuan commanded the forbidden army strongly and directly imprisoned these ministers.

The capital of Beiyue was panicked at this time, and it was about to break out, but the news that Nalan was going to marry Bai Yixuan at night was unheard of.

After thinking about it, Lin Yixuan's face turned pale: "Xiu'er, these are all things that come out of nowhere, don't spread rumors at will." The rumors stop at the wise man, you are the county lord, don't learn from those people in the market until things are clear, understand? ”

Zhao Xiu's face was suddenly full of grievances: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Xiu'er knows, Xiu'er just heard about it, and she thought it was funny, so she wanted to tell Sister Luo to hear it, but it was just to relieve boredom." Although Bai Yixuan used to be the princess of our Southern Wei Dynasty, after all, she was married to Beiyue, and the king of Chu was so far away from us, Xiu'er just listened to it as a pastime......"

"Okay, Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't be so harsh."

Luo Qingluan didn't mind at all, and said with a faint smile: "The county lord of Qinghe is just curious, and he is not deliberately spreading rumors, why do you blame her so much?" ”

As soon as she heard Luo Qingluan help her speak, Zhao Xiu immediately said, "That's it, it's still Sister Luo's sensibility." ”

She winked at Lin Yixuan, turned her head playfully and said, "Sister Luo, have you heard the legend of King Chu?" What does he look like, is he very powerful, and I don't know if he really wants to marry the queen of Beiyue. But if I want to guess, he led his troops into North Vietnam, he must have wanted to annex North Vietnam, and now this North Vietnamese queen took the initiative to send it to the door, as long as he married her, he was the emperor of North Vietnam, what man in the world can resist this temptation? ”

"What does the county lord of Qinghe mean that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't resist the temptation?" Luo Qingluan said lightly.

Zhao Xiu reacted at this time, and hurriedly covered his mouth: "Ah, I'm not, that's not what I meant." His Royal Highness the Prince, Xiu'er is wrong, don't mind. ”

didn't mind Luo Qingluan joking with herself, but Lin Yixuan was worried that Zhao Xiu would make Luo Qingluan sad when he mentioned Nalan Ye and Bai Yixuan. Now that the situation is unknown, she is still pregnant with a child, if she is really worried about King Chu, wouldn't it be bad for her health?

"Okay Xiu'er, since all your gifts for Mrs. Luo have been delivered, let's go back early. Mrs. Luo also has to rest, don't keep bothering her, if you have anything to say, we will talk about it next time. ”

didn't want Zhao Xiu to say anything to Luo Qingluan, Lin Yixuan gave an eviction order on her behalf, Zhao Xiu looked a little reluctant and aggrieved, but she couldn't, so she could only leave.

Damn it! delayed the time she spent with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and was driven away before she could ask anything. Zhao Xiu felt more and more that Lin Yixuan's attitude towards this woman was different. When this woman didn't appear before, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often accompanied her to talk, and sometimes went shopping. But now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't pay attention to her at all, and all his thoughts were on that woman.

The more Zhao Xiu thought about it, the more she felt so, but she was afraid that what her brother said was true, that woman was Princess Chu!

Back at the Hou Mansion, Zhao Ningyi actually waited for her, and when he saw her come back, he asked with concern: "Sister, how is it?" ”

Glancing at his brother, Zhao Xiu complained unhappily: "It's all you, I have to find out something, I could have said a few more words to His Royal Highness the Prince, but because of that woman, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drove me away." ”

When Feng Shi heard this, he hurriedly pulled Zhao Xiu to sit beside him: "Xiu'er, what's wrong, come and tell my mother." ”

After the two of them finished listening to Zhao Xiu, Zhao Ningyi slapped his thigh: "That's right, it must be like this." ”

Feng Shi glanced at his son strangely: "Ning Yi, what did you say?" Also, what did you ask your sister to inquire about in the Prince's Mansion? What if that woman is the princess of Chu, what do you care about? ”

didn't tell the second prince that he asked him to inquire about the news, Zhao Ningyi found an excuse and slipped away.

In the second prince's house.

"That's good! Sure enough, it was her! Listening to Zhao Ningyi say it again, Lin Xiaochen was completely sure, "This woman is ghostly, she will be fooled if she is not careful, and now that she is hiding in the Prince's Mansion, it is not good for us to do it." ”

Zhao Ningyi said cautiously: "It is naturally inconvenient for the second prince to deal with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but what if there is His Majesty's will?" Isn't it just ......?"

"You know!"

Lin Xiaochen scolded him angrily: "This king is doing great things, how can he be exposed at will?" If my eldest brother finds out the clues, it will be difficult for this king to do anything in the future. What's more, there is no direct contradiction between Western Chu and my Southern Wei now, even if my father knows that Princess Chu is in the Prince's Mansion, he will not do anything to her, but will expose the king's plan. ”

"Useless thing, don't get out of here!" Glaring at Zhao Ningyi in disgust, Lin Xiaochen brushed his sleeves and turned around.

Seeing that Lin Xiaochen was angry, Zhao Ningyi hurriedly retreated, and after he left, a middle-aged scribe hidden behind the screen walked out.

Seeing this person, Lin Xiaochen had another attitude: "Mr. Su, what do you think?" ”

As Lin Xiaochen's advisor, Su Changlun naturally put Lin Xiaochen's interests first, and his face became gloomy at the moment: "Zhao Gongzi, this person has more than enough success and more failures, if the second prince lets him participate in our affairs again, I am afraid that there will be big trouble." ”

"Mr. Su means ......"

Lin Xiaochen looked at him with pity, with a look of 'just what I want', and raised his hand to make a downward slashing motion.

Comprehending, Su Changlun said meaningfully: "Yes, but this Zhao Gongzi is the son of King Wuyang after all, and he died casually, not only afraid of trouble, but also wasteful." Since the second prince wanted to take down the princess of Chu, Su Mou thought of an idea for the second prince to kill two birds with one stone, I don't know what the second prince thinks. ”

Approaching, he lowered his voice, and Lin Xiaochen, who had said something, kept nodding. After a while, Lin Xiaochen summoned a subordinate and gave a few orders, and the latter hurried away.

……

The situation in North Vietnam became more and more intense, which gradually caused turmoil on the border of the Southern Wei Dynasty, and many North Vietnamese people who were worried about the ruin of the country began to flee, but all countries would not accept such displaced people, so that North Vietnam became more and more chaotic. Some powerful caravans and large families also began to move their families to Southern Wei or Dongwan, but fortunately, the situation had not yet spread to the capital.

Luo Qingluan didn't have much to do except wait for Nalan Ye's letter.

Although Nalan was in North Vietnam at night, she was not worried in the slightest. If this man can't even guarantee his own safety, he is not the person she likes. Instead of worrying about these things that are not available, it is better to take care of your body, and when his letter arrives, you will reply fiercely, and the dog he scolded will be bloody.

Since Liang Yuyan knew her identity, she didn't even care about her own business. Every day I came to the prince's mansion to accompany her, either to talk or to talk about the situation outside, because of the affairs of the North Vietnamese Kingdom, and the business of her embroidery workshop was also affected. But Liang Yuyan didn't care, for her, protecting Luo Qingluan's safety was more important than anything else.

In the past, she didn't know Luo Qingluan's identity, but now that she knows, any more negligence is dereliction of duty.

Luo Qingluan knew Liang Yuyan's thoughts, and was also 120,000 touched by her heart and loyalty, since she said that she would not move, she would not be persuaded, but fortunately, it was not a chore to accompany her every day, and the prince's mansion was also safe, and there were no idlers harassing her.

While the two were talking, Luo Qingluan asked Liang Yuyan to help her send a letter to Western Chu, after all, the people in the Chu Palace's mansion didn't know that she was safe. has always worried Daiyue and Xu Lian, and she is also uneasy.

This is easy to do, Liang Yuyan just responded, and suddenly someone came to report: "Mrs. Luo, the prince of Wuyang is here, saying that he has something important to see you." ”

The prince of Wuyang? When Luo Qingluan heard this, he and Liang Yuyan looked at each other, and they both felt very strange.

"Zhao Ningyi, the son of the king of Wuyang, what is he doing here?"

Liang Yuyan frowned and said to Luo Qingluan: "This is strange, princess, you shouldn't have dealt with this Zhao Shizi, right?" Oh, by the way, he also has a sister of the county lord of Qinghe, named Zhao Xiu, I heard that it is possible to marry His Royal Highness the Prince, but this Zhao Shizi has no friendship with you, what are you doing here? ”

This is what Luo Qingluan didn't understand, she thought about it and said to her subordinates: "I went back to Zhao Shizi, I have no contact with him, and there is a difference between men and women, if he has something to do, he can go to His Royal Highness the Prince, I won't see him." ”

The subordinate took the order, Luo Qingluan just said a few words to Liang Yuyan, and the subordinate came with a look of embarrassment: "Mrs. Luo, the little one said according to your instructions, but Zhao Shizi refused to leave, saying that he wanted to find you again, if you don't see him, he will wait until you see him." ”

"I haven't heard of such a scoundrel, as a man, he wants to forcibly see a deep woman, what kind of heart does he have?"

As soon as Liang Yuyan got angry, Luo Qingluan raised her hand to stop her: "Forget it, since this Zhao Shizi has to see me, then it's better to see me, instead of guessing, let him say it himself." ”

has already been prepared, no matter what this Zhao Shizi is looking for her, she will not be surprised. However, she is in the Prince's Mansion, except for Han Xun and Lin Xiaochen, others should not know her identity. Lin Yixuan naturally wouldn't say it, could it......

Thinking of the county lord of Qinghe, Luo Qingluan couldn't help but guess, could it be that she actually saw her identity? Zhao Xiu shouldn't be so alert!

Zhao Ningyi, as her brother, came to see her for the sake of the county lord of Qinghe?

With doubts, Luo Qingluan was helped by Liang Yuyan to go to the flower hall, and after waiting for a while, he saw his subordinate leading Zhao Ningyi in.

Dressed in a blue moire brocade robe, with a gold belt around his waist and a gold crown on his head, he looked imposing. Just looking at his appearance, this Zhao Ningyi is also handsome and extraordinary, but his eyes are a little flickering, and he looks like a thoughtful person. Luo Qingluan didn't have a good impression of him at the first glance, and he didn't even get up at the moment, and asked directly:

"Is Zhao Shizi looking for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or looking for me?"
