"Aunt Yao, she ......" Xi Chu Yueling smiled awkwardly, "That...... Aunt Yao also said before that she likes you a lot, and since I told her that you are actually the Lord of Wushuang, she has changed......"

Seeing Chu Nian's complicated expression, Xi Chu Yue Ling said embarrassedly: "Aunt Yao is the daughter of the first prince, and the relationship with the mother emperor is cousin, but because Aunt Yao doesn't like the hereditary title, when the first prince went, she gave up the title and became a general, but there has been no war recently, so I have to stay by the mother emperor's side, and Aunt Yao also has a ...... this year is in her thirties, but she is still unmarried, and her marriage can make the mother queen worry about it for a while, no matter what kind of man the mother introduces her, she can't look down on the man who ...... her."

Xi Chu Yue Ling touched his nose, "It's okay, it's okay, it seems that Aunt Yao doesn't like women as much as the mother queen worried." ”

Chu Nian couldn't help laughing, at this point, he saw that Ming Xiu's face on the side became more and more gloomy, but Chu Nian snickered, but he had to nod slightly with Xi Chu Yueling, and turned to coax the vinegar jar His Highness.

……

At the same time, the twilight of the high morning house.

Lord Gao Chen was lying on the couch, looking at the books in his hand with serious eyes, and on the side was Princess Gao Chen, who was sitting upright, and at this moment he was looking out of the window from time to time, as if he was a little uneasy.

Feeling the uneasiness of the second son beside him, Master Gao Chen said slowly: "What are you afraid of, although this is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, this tiger has not left the mountain?" ”

Princess Gao Chen turned to look at her mother, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Mother doesn't know the hole cards of the fourth prince, as far as I know, she doesn't just have those waste maids." ”

Hearing this, Lord Gao Chen frowned and raised his eyes, "I don't think that the skills of the four secret guards left by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are any worse, in short, you should rest assured, I don't believe it, she Xichu Lu Ning really dares to kill you under my nose." ”

Princess Gao Chen's face was stunned, and after a while, she had to half-lower her eyes and close her lips without saying a word.

At this time, a voice came from outside the door, "My lord, princess, I'm afraid someone is here, the illusion left by my lady has been triggered." ”

"Illusion? Can the unequaled county lord also spell illusions? Princess Gao Chen looked at the figure of the dark third at the door with some surprise, and it took a long time before she came back to her senses, and seemed to be a little relieved, "I see, with illusion, I can really feel a little more at ease." ”

The dark three outside didn't answer, and after a while, Princess Gao Chen suddenly had a hint of foreboding in her heart, and she saw the figure of the dark three at the door quietly disappearing, and there was a sound of fighting on the roof.

"Heh, it's the fourth prince who is so powerful that he sent so many people to break through my lady's illusion?"

Hearing the sound from the roof, Princess Gao Chen hurriedly blocked in front of Lord Gao Chen, and after a while, there was suddenly no sound on the roof.

Just when Princess Gao Chen's face was nervous, a figure suddenly appeared at the door, also dressed in black, but look, it was a woman.

At this moment, those eyes were looking at Princess Gao Chen fixedly, and they seemed to be holding something in their hands.

Knowing that she would definitely not be able to beat this waitress who had been trained for many years, Princess Gao Chen's face turned pale, and at this time, the waitress rushed towards Princess Gao Chen with the knife in her hand that seemed to be stained with blood, looking at the cold blade, Princess Gao Chen knew that she couldn't dodge, so she closed her eyes nervously.

At this time, there was a sound of breaking the sky in front of him, Princess Gao Chen was closing her eyes, for a long time, she didn't hear any movement, she opened her eyes, and saw that the sharp tip of the knife was close in front of her, but the maid stood still, but a pair of eyes were gradually dissipating, and after a while, she fell down limply, and a bloody breath suddenly filled the whole room.

A cold voice sounded on the side, "The princess doesn't have to worry, as long as we are here, they will definitely not be able to hurt even a single hair of the princess and the adult." ”

Princess Gao Chen looked sideways, then looked at the cold dark four, and saw the blood-stained dagger in his hand, and suddenly calmed down a little, and turned her eyes, Lord Gao Chen was calmly continuing to read.

He let out a sigh and turned his eyes to the waitress on the ground, "Is there anything else out there?" ”

Dark Four lifted the maid's body and walked towards the door, replying, "It's gone." ”

Hearing this, Princess Gao Chen finally calmed down and sat back in her chair, at this time, a note on the ground attracted Princess Gao Chen's attention, he bent down, picked up the note, and frowned at the vigorous handwriting on it.

There are only a few numbers on it, "Even if my wife is not there, my daughter can relieve my worries......"

Princess Gao Chen's face changed suddenly, he turned his eyes and looked at Lord Gao Chen anxiously, "Mother, Qing'er!" ”

The dark four who cleaned up the corpse were turning back, and Lord Gao Chen, who had read the note at this moment, also had a heavy face, she turned her eyes and looked at the dark four at the door, "Can you please send a message to the county lord?" ”

Dark Four paused, looked at Princess Gao Chen, who was almost crazy on the side, and saw the note in Lord Gao Chen's hand, his eyes flashed slightly, he took the note from Lord Gao Chen's hand, nodded slightly, and disappeared into the air in an instant.

Princess Gao Chen clutched her cuffs tightly, "Xichu Luning, you don't even let go of the daughter you gave birth to, you are simply inferior to a beast!" ”

Lord Gao Chen behind him looked at the back of his second son silently, and after a while, he sighed and said, "I knew today, why did I ...... it in the first place?"

……

The imperial mausoleum of Western Chu is more magnificent than Chu Nian imagined, after all, the heritage of the imperial family of Western Chu is richer than that of the Ming royal family who later won the imperial power by uprising, so it is natural to be more in awe of the ancestors.

Although the excessive indecisiveness of the empresses in recent generations has led to the decline of Western Chu's national strength, this does not affect the fact that Western Chu is the most established country.

Looking at the huge sacrificial room in front of him, Chu Nian stood quietly beside Ming Xiu, looking at the worship ceremony of no less than three hundred people in front of him - Western Chu attaches great importance to the ancestors, and Lu Ning of Western Chu can be said to have played a good hand, as long as there is something wrong with the imperial tomb, the Western Chu court must be fully dispatched, and at present, it can be said that the civil and military officials plus all the Western Chu royal families are here, and the first person to worship is naturally the empress, followed by the queen, and then down, it is the emperor's relatives and civil and military officials.

Ming Xiu and Chu Nian belong to outsiders, so they only need to go to the pillar incense to wait, but at this moment, Chu Nian unexpectedly found that Xi Chu Lu Ning, who was supposed to worship in the ranks of the emperor's relatives, was gone, she turned her eyes to Ming Xiu and gave a look, and walked along a dark road on the side.

This sacrificial room is a huge stone room, originally Chu Nian and Ming Xiu were standing at the entrance, since they entered the sacrificial room, they have not seen Xi Chu Lu Ning, and it is impossible for Xi Chu Lu Ning to go out from the entrance, and go deeper into the imperial tomb, there is only one passage, at this moment this passage is pitch black, not far away, occasionally there is a long lamp looming.

Chu Nian suppressed his footsteps and walked towards the inside of the corridor, and sure enough, it didn't take long for him to hear two voices.

"This is what should be given to you this time, you can keep it."

It was Xichu Luning's voice, and at this moment she seemed to be a little impatient, and there was a sense of disgust in her speech.

Then there was a hoarse voice, which sounded like an old man, and the old man's voice was low, as if he hadn't opened his mouth for some time.

"The prince clearly knows that the old man doesn't need these things outside his body."

"And what do you want?"

"What the old man wants, the prince has always been clear."

Xichu Luning was silent for a while before continuing: "When this king can control the imperial power, he will naturally find a way to make you walk out of here openly, for now, I advise you to still honestly guard the mausoleum, after all, you are still guilty, if I let you out now, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no trouble, and all our previous efforts will be in vain." ”

"Hehe," the hoarse voice sneered, "The prince is really good at laughing, the old man naturally doesn't care who controls the imperial power, what the old man wants is just a freedom, the prince is so empty talk five times and three times, isn't he afraid that one day the old man will make everything the prince do?" ”

"You ......" seemed to be caught by the handle, Xichu Luning's voice sounded a little angry, and at the end, she suppressed her anger again, "Don't think that this king can't make you die silently in the imperial tomb!" ”

"Lord Wang," said a little disdain in his voice, "Lord Wang thinks that the old man is a person who is afraid of death?" In this imperial mausoleum, most of his life has never seen the light, and the relatives outside have also passed away, if the prince refuses to promise, the old man is not afraid of the fish dying and the net is broken! ”

Xi Chu Lu Ning seemed to be blocked and couldn't speak, Chu Nian secretly looked at the brightly lit stone room beside him along the corner of the wall, and sure enough, at this moment, Xi Chu Lu Ning was suffocated by the old man and his face was flushed.

After a long time, she gritted her teeth and said: "Wait for me for another half a year, give me another half a year, I will definitely be able to give you the freedom you want!" ”

With his back to Chu Nian, there was an old man in a black robe, this old man had gray temples, his hair was messy like wild grass, and a pair of shabby straw sandals under his feet.

"Half a year? Half a year and half a year, how many months has the prince made the old man wait? ”

Xichu Lu Ning's anger gradually subsided, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and looked at the old man in front of her steadily, "This king assures you that this is the last time." ”

Chu Nian, who was hiding behind the stone, frowned slightly, although he didn't know what handle the old man had grabbed in his hand, but it really made Xi Chu Lu Ning jealous, this time Xi Chu Lu Ning used this trick to divert the tiger from the mountain, I am afraid it was also thanks to the help of this old man.

At the moment, Chu Nian was a little worried about Princess Gao Chen, and he didn't know what Xi Chu Lu Ning had prepared, so was the illusionist also ......

Chu Nian smiled, and he heard the voice of Xi Chu Luning coming from that side, "You...... Even if you coerce me now, I can't really let you out, if you are not afraid of the fish dying and the net will be broken, I am naturally not afraid, but it is a pity that the snipe and the clam are fighting...... It won't be you and me who will benefit! ”

When these words fell, the old man's back shook obviously, and he saw a smug smile on the corner of Xichu Lu Ning's mouth, "Do you know what this king is afraid of, doesn't this king know what you are afraid of?" ”

The old man didn't move, and after a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "The old man is not afraid of this, but, Lord Wang, there seems to be a little mouse stealing rice outside, if you don't stop her mouth quickly, I'm afraid that Lord Wang's plan will also ......."

Chu Nian, who was behind the stone, immediately changed his complexion, and then he heard a sound of breaking the air from his side.

"Who's there!"
