As soon as these words fell, he saw Xi Chu Yue Ling turn his gaze to Chu Nian, "Do you want to do it now?" ”

Chu Nian thought for a while, then nodded, "It's okay, the time is almost right." ”

……

The temple was silent all around at night, no one could see it, in the dark night, three or two black figures shuttled above the house, not long after, starting from the wing room of the lord of Gao Chen's palace, the candle flame was like a spark spreading on the wild grass, but for a moment, the entire temple was lit up by this starry candle.

When the empress received the news, the palace master of Gao Chen had already been taken away by the people of Xichu Yueling, and the entire temple was in chaos.

The first to get the news was Xi Chu Lu Ning, she was in the empress's room at the moment, and when Chu Nian and the others arrived, she was already full of anxiety.

The empress and the empress didn't say a word under the flickering candle flame, Chu Nian stood quietly beside Ming Xiu, while Xi Chu Yueling stood beside the empress, and there was silence all around.

Not long after, Xi Chu Yao walked in from outside the door, and when she saw Chu Nian standing on the side, her face was still stiff, and then she pretended to look at the empress as if nothing happened, "Your Majesty, the three hundred guards accompanying me have gone to search at the bottom of the mountain." ”

The empress looked tired and nodded slightly, while Xichu Yueling pursed her lips and said, "Since you are an assassin, why did you only arrest the palace master of Gao Chen?" Mother, Father, do you notice anything unusual? ”

The queen glanced at the empress and shook her head slightly, "No." ”

Xi Chu Yue Ling stood in place as if thinking, and Xi Chu Lu Ning on the side swept Chu Nian with a blank look, but Chu Nian still had that perfect smirk on her face that made it impossible to find fault with it, she vaguely felt that this matter must be related to Chu Nian, but she couldn't catch any clues.

"What about the maid beside the palace master of Gao Chen, have you asked?"

It was Xi Chu Lu Ning who spoke, and when everyone's eyes looked over, they saw Xi Chu Yao shaking his head and said: "I asked, that girl said that she had eaten a bad stomach, and she couldn't take care of Gao Chen's palace master for a while, and when she came back, Gao Chen's palace master was not in the room." ”

This word fell, as if in a stalemate, the empress fell on the top, her eyes swept over Xichu Yueling without a trace, and fell on Xichu Luning's body, for a while, she lowered her head, thoughtful.

At this time, a cold voice sounded on the side, "Since no one notices, could it be that the palace master Gao Chen left by himself?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was suddenly stunned, sideways, sat upright, and calmly picked up the teacup and sent it to their mouths.

Xichu Lu Ning's face sank, "Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say this?" ”

If the palace master of Gao Chen wanted to leave, why didn't he tell her? A thick doubt came to her heart, making Xi Chu Lu Ning more and more uneasy, and she looked at the two Da Liang people who were calm not far away with a gloomy face, as if she was quietly waiting for them to give an explanation.

I saw Ming Xiu put down the teacup and turned his eyes to look at the empress: "With the deployment of the empress's travel, it is impossible to kidnap a palace master under the nose of the general, but the general does not know it." ”

Seeing that Ming Xiu was rarely so enthusiastic, the empress couldn't help but be interested, "But I have never treated the palace master of Gao Chen badly, why did the palace master of Gao Chen leave?" ”

Ming Xiu glanced at Xichu Luning with a very face-saving look, but this glance made Xichu Luning feel that the person in front of him did not put himself in his eyes, and he couldn't help clenching his fists more and more irritably, and he could hear the second half of Ming Xiu's sentence coming from that side.

"If there is no such possibility, then it can only be done by one's own people."

Hearing this, Xi Chuyao suddenly looked aggrieved, "Impossible, the people under my command were all born and died with me, how could it be possible to kidnap the palace master of Gao Chen?" ”

Ming Xiu pursed his thin lips and stopped talking, and at this time, he saw Chu Nian on the side looking up at Xi Chu Luning, "Yesterday I was drunk with the prince, did the prince praise Princess Gao Chen's appearance with his courtiers, and now if something happens to Princess Gao Chen, won't the courtiers see it?" It's a shame......"

As she spoke, she lowered her head as if she was sorry, and when she heard this, the empress and the empress on the side all looked very good-looking.

The lord of Gao Chen's palace is the imperial concubine in the empress's palace, as a prince, if he secretly hides the imperial concubine of the empress's harem in his heart, it would be fine, but now he still takes it out to show off to outsiders? Praise Princess Gao Chen's appearance?

Isn't this telling outsiders that she is a dignified prince and has fallen in love with the concubines of the empress's harem?

At this moment, Xi Chu Lu Ning's face became more and more unsightly, she gritted her teeth and glanced at Chu Nian, and it was only then that she understood how Chu Nian suddenly mentioned Princess Gao Chen on the wine table last night, in order to lead her to say such a thing, seeing that the empress's face was not good-looking, Xi Chu Lu Ning couldn't help but whisper: "Your Majesty, this ......"

The empress said coldly: "After the imperial sister drank the wine, her speech became more and more boundless, if you really think that Princess Gao Chen's appearance is good-looking, wouldn't it be that the imperial sister was drunk and simply took Princess Gao Chen away?" ”

Xichu Luning's face suddenly turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty is worried, how can I ......?"

Xi Chu Yue Ling added fuel to the fire, "Erchen heard that a few days ago, the fourth princess and the fourth aunt had an awkward quarrel, and there were rumors that it was because of the palace master of Gao Chen, the fourth aunt, this ......"

Seeing Xi Chu Lu Ning's murderous gaze, Xi Chu Yue Ling became more and more gloating, only to see her sigh meaningfully and said, "Fourth aunt, people's words are terrifying." ”

The atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point more and more, Xi Chuyao stood in the room for a while, and left under the pretext that he had to go out to collect evidence, while Chu Nian and the others sat in place and drank tea without caring about themselves, until the empress said that she was tired, and everyone dispersed.

After returning to the side room, Chu Nian saw Dark Four standing in the room, at this moment Dark Four was holding a note in his hand, and saw Chu Nian and Ming Xiu walking in, Dark Four handed over the note in his hand.

Chu Nian frowned slightly, "I think you can handle this matter on your own, as long as it doesn't hurt Western Chu Luqing and Princess Gao Chen, by the way, what is Lord Gao Chen's reaction?" ”

Dark Four honestly stood in front of Chu Nian, "It seems to be angry." ”

"Well, okay, you go back and tell them, it is estimated that we can go back tomorrow, and tell Lord Gao Chen by the way, act according to the original plan, and the princess of Xichu Luqing does not need to worry about it for the time being."

Xichu Luning wanted to use Xichu Luqing to blackmail Princess Gao Chen, but at the moment she didn't have the courage to do anything to Xichu Luqing, after all, it was the last hole card, if something really happened to Xichu Luqing, presumably Xichu Luning was also afraid that Princess Gao Chen would die.

It's time to stimulate Xichu Luning to do something even more excessive.

Chu Nian looked at Ming Xiu sideways, at this stall, Ming Xiu looked at Chu Nian intently, and the dark four took the order and left with interest, and at this moment, only Chu Nian and Ming Xiu were left in the room.

After a long time, Ming Xiu pursed his thin lips and said, "Deal with this matter, can we go back?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian smiled lightly: "Naturally, it is possible, Your Highness is homesick?" ”

"No, I wouldn't be." Ming Xiu lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, and at the end, he took something out of his cuffs, and when his hand was stretched out, there was a small yellow flower.

Chu Nian's face was stunned for a moment, and then she saw Ming Xiu send the little flower to her, "I saw you look at this word twice today, this flower is rare in Da Liang, so I picked it off and gave it to you." ”

After a long time, Chu Niancai couldn't help grinning the corners of her mouth, reached out and took the little flower from Ming Xiu's hand, put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it, a faint fragrance of flowers penetrated into her nostrils, she couldn't put it down and put the little flower in the low tea cup, seeing that the little flower that came into contact with the water became more and more delicate, she couldn't help but smile more and more happily.

Ming Xiu looked a little embarrassed, and his expressionless face was red, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Unexpectedly, when these words fell, the person in front of her laughed more and more heartily, and after a while, she wiped off a drop of laughing water from the corner of her eyes, and looked at the delicate flower on the table beside her gently: "I always thought that His Royal Highness was a wooden person, and he never said love words, but now it seems that His Highness is just slow to heat, or too lazy to do such a sensual thing." ”

A delicate beauty under the moon, Chu Nian's eyelashes seemed to be a little bright under the reflection of the candle flame, and a small face was smiling white and red, which was particularly attractive.

Ming Xiu stood up a little uncomfortably, and saw Chu Nian raise his eyes, this stall, the thin lips pursed, and then said lightly: "Do you like it?" ”

The little face under the candle light was warm, and she nodded slightly, "I like it." ”

Ming Xiu's gaze swept over the small hand on his legs intentionally or unintentionally, and after a while, he coughed lightly, and sat down beside Chu Nian, and then, the big hand covered the small hand, feeling the warmth coming from the hand, Chu Nian looked a little surprised.

"How unusual it is today."

"How am I?"

"Your Highness would never be so numb." Chu Nian's eyes showed a bit of ridicule, and he saw Ming Xiu hugging her into his arms as if he was ashamed.

Weightless, Chu Nian screamed and fell into Ming Xiu's arms, and suddenly the fragrance of lotus flowers spread.

"Your Highness, you are ......"

A handsome face is close at hand, the sound of breathing lingers in the ears, there is a little ruddy on the thin lips, and under the candlelight, the cold face is like a peach blossom.

"If you really like to be intimate with me, you should take me with you whatever you do in the future."

Chu Nian's face was stunned, and he saw Ming Xiu continue: "If it weren't for the fact that you didn't stay home often before, how would you think I was wooden? ”

Reflecting the meaning of his words, Chu Nian couldn't help laughing, Xu felt uncomfortable turning her head to talk to Ming Xiu, she twisted her body to face Ming Xiu, her legs shrugged behind Ming Xiu, face to face and nose on a blind date, Chu Nian looked at the man in front of him who seemed to be blushing more and more and said, "Your Highness, if you are not a wooden person, don't blush." ”

Feeling the warm breath spraying on his face, Ming Xiu suddenly raised his head and pinched the little face as if he was a little embarrassed, "Are you laughing at me?" ”

"No, I wouldn't be." Without waiting for Ming Xiu to let go of his hand, Chu Nian simply put his warm little face on the big hand, and said softly: "I used to think that His Highness was a person who could let go, but now I understand that His Highness is not open, His Highness is just slow to heat." ”

She smiled and rubbed her little face on her stiff big hand, "Your Highness doesn't have to force yourself, what it should be is what it is, just let it be." ”

When these words fell, Ming Xiu's originally slightly red face gradually changed back to normal color, he let out a sigh of relief, raised his eyes, and looked at Chu Nian with a focused expression.
