When the prince heard Xu Lan say this, his mood was a little better.

When she got out of the palace, Xu Lan originally wanted to get into the carriage of her palace, but unexpectedly, the prince stopped her first and said, "Since I am escorting Sister Lan back to your house, how can I let you ride in the carriage alone?" Why don't my sister sit in the same carriage with me, and as for the carriage in my sister's house, I will tell my subordinates to bring it back to the house. ”

Xu Lan naturally wouldn't entangle with the prince in such a trivial matter, and disobeyed the prince's order, so she nodded obediently at the moment.

The two were in the same carriage, and the atmosphere was a little awkward at first.

The prince didn't know how to talk to a daughter who hadn't left the cabinet, but Xu Lan didn't know how to speak because of tonight's incident.

"Sister Lan, how is Brother Xu Zhen's injury?" In the end, it was the prince who spoke first, and he looked at Xu Lan's face and said thoughtfully.

Xu Lan heard the prince ask like this, but she couldn't help but feel a hint of ridicule in her heart, half a month ago, her younger brother was seriously injured and in a coma in bed, everyone in the capital knew but no one asked, and no one redressed her brother's grievances, now, she just participated in a Qianqiu banquet, but two princes asked about her brother's injury one after another, so I don't know if it was fortunate or unfortunate.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Brother Xu Zhen is already in good health, but he is still in a coma in bed, but the imperial doctor said that it is not a big deal, just wait patiently." Xu Lan replied with a low brow.

The prince glanced at Xu Lan's face and saw that she was not unhappy, she was still well-behaved and docile, but he hesitated a little in his heart.

However, the crown prince thought of his mother, the queen mother, in an instant, and thought of the words of those strategists in his East Palace, and he said ruthlessly: "Brother Xu Zhen is really a poor person, but he is really hateful The mastermind behind the scenes, and now he is still at large, and no one can help him!" ”

Xu Lan couldn't help but be shocked when she heard the prince suddenly say such a thing, could it be that he already knew that I was going to his dormitory tonight? I've already been exposed? Or did the fourth prince Ji Chen tell him?

However, what the prince said in the next second made Xu Lan quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sister Lan, you are a girl in the boudoir, naturally you don't know the treacherous situation in the capital, but I really can't get used to what the fourth brother does."

The Four Princes? Xu Lan asked suspiciously, but she still pretended to be surprised on her face, and looked up at His Royal Highness the Prince: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, why do you say that?" ”

Seeing that Xu Lan had taken the bait, the prince couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, but he still said with a straight face: "Sister Lan, you naturally don't know, you just think that your younger brother and junior brother are best friends, but I heard that there is another saying!" ”

It turned out that on that day, the fourth prince Ji Chen went to King Xu's mansion, and he and Xu Zhen did not drink and talk happily and chant about Fengyue, but had a dispute.

Because Xu Zhen and Ji Chen waved their subordinates away that day, no one knew what they talked about, but in the end, Xu Zhen's younger brother had always been righteous and awe-inspiring, but the fourth prince Ji Chen was speechless in the end.

"Sister Lan, do you know, although my fourth brother seems to be the most cold on the surface, and his temperament is not a sensational person, but only a few of our brothers know that the fourth brother's heart is by no means as easy-going and peaceful as he seems on the surface, but has another idea of his own."

"Besides, Sister Lan, you think that the fourth brother and Brother Xu Zhen have always been close friends, but in the end, Brother Xu Zhen had an accident, but the fourth brother didn't say a word, isn't this the most suspicious place? It's a pity that I've always been weak, and I didn't find any clues to prove the fourth brother's mistake. I can only pity Xu Zhen's younger brother, who is still unconscious in bed and unconscious. ”

In the end, the prince sighed even more, looking extremely sad.

When Xu Lan heard this, the horror in her heart was already surging.

But Xu Lan would not easily believe the words of the crown prince, nor would she easily believe the words of the fourth prince.

I saw Xu Lan bow her head and ponder for a while, then suddenly raised her head and said blankly: "But, someone told me that the dossiers of Dali Temple were all passed by the prince?" ”

When the prince heard this, he was also shocked in his heart, how could her daughter in a deep boudoir know about this?

However, seeing that Xu Lan was still innocent in front of him, the prince thought that she was a girl's family, and she must not know the inside story, thinking that it was the fourth brother himself who revealed some inside information to her.

I saw the prince's serious face, and said: "Sister Lan, this must not be nonsense, Dali Temple has always been under the control of my father, although I am the prince, how can I have such a right?" Sister Lan, you have to be careful in the capital, you can't just believe what others say, is it the fourth brother who sued you, you don't know that the fourth brother has always lied, from the novel to the big, and even the father and the emperor have punished him severely because of this matter, although I can't say that I am a close friend of Brother Xu Zhen, but it is definitely not harmless to her, and what is the point of harming Brother Xu Zhen and me? Sister Lan, you must not be deceived by traitors! ”

Xu Lan looked at the righteous and awe-inspiring appearance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and couldn't tell for a while whether she should listen to the prince, Ji Chen, or listen to the words of Cui He, the eldest son of King Cui.

So Xu Lan stopped talking, just lowered her head and thought about things, and when the prince saw Xu Lan's appearance, he also knew that he couldn't force her to be too anxious, and for a while, the carriage was quiet for a while.

The carriage swayed, and before I knew it, I arrived at King Xu's mansion, Xu Lan got off the carriage gently, and when she was about to enter the mansion, she heard the voice of the prince from behind: "Sister Lan, wait, this is what the queen mother ordered me to hand over to you, it is the best thousand-year-old ginseng, you can take it to Princess Xu, and Brother Xu Zhen to make up for your body, in the end, the body is important, I only hope that the princess can recover as soon as possible, and Brother Xu Zhen can sober up as soon as possible." ”

No matter who is the real culprit who assassinated Xu Zheng now, but the prince's actions are really good, Xu Lan immediately raised her eyes gratefully, saluted the prince and said: "The little girl is here for her mother and brother, thank His Royal Highness the prince!" ”

Looking at Xu Lan's grateful face, the prince couldn't help but feel extremely comfortable in his heart, so he hurriedly helped Xu Lan up and said: "Sister Lan, you are out with me, go back quickly, your mother and father must be very worried." ”

Xu Lan naturally agreed, and returned to her mansion with a grateful face, and after Xu Lan returned to the house, the prince did not stay long, and immediately went back to the palace and went back to the palace.

"Queen Mother, Erchen is back!" After the prince returned to the palace, he did not immediately return to his prince's East Palace, but went directly to the queen's Yikun Palace.

As soon as he pushed open the door, it brought a chill, the queen was originally reclining on the chaise longue couch with her eyes closed and pondering, when she heard this movement, she suddenly opened her eyes, looked at the oncoming prince, and couldn't help but have a smile on her face: "My good son, you can be regarded as back, how can you send your sister Lan back to the mansion well?" ”

"Mother, don't worry, I am naturally doing things safely, but I have seen Sister Lan enter King Xu's mansion with my own eyes."

The queen looked at the prince in front of her, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and when she heard him say this, she naturally smiled and said, "I naturally believe in you, but I just ask one more question and want to be safe." ”

"The mother concubine just loves to ask more," the prince, when he heard the queen say this, there was no displeasure on his face, but he unconsciously began to be coquettish, "Could it be that you only asked Sister Lan but didn't ask your son if she was cold?" It's snowing heavily in the capital today, but I'm freezing to death! ”

"It's all nonsense, you can't die if you open your mouth, look at what you say, how can you have the bearing of a prince of a country!" When the queen heard him say this, she hurriedly put her hand to gag his mouth.

"What bearing do you have in front of the queen mother? The queen mother has always loved me the most. ”

The prince was also blindly coquettish, and even fell into the arms of the queen's mother, and the queen smiled even more happily now, but she didn't forget to get down to business. She asked the prince, "What's the matter, if the queen mother tells you, can you tell your sister Lan?" ”

When the prince heard that the queen mother suddenly said something serious, he was also a little serious, and he said: "I naturally told Sister Lan well, and I saw my sister's expression, but I also had doubts about the fourth brother, and before Sister Lan entered the palace, I handed over the ginseng that my mother gave me to Sister Lan, and Sister Lan was grateful to me." ”

"Okay, that's fine, but you can't say this in front of your Sister Lan, and not only your Sister Lan, but also in front of anyone else, do you know?"

"Mother, don't worry, I know what matters and I won't make such a low-level mistake." When the queen heard the prince say this, she couldn't help laughing even more happily, and the mother and son frolicked and played with each other, and they were happy with each other.

Yulan next to her saw that the prince and the queen were so close, and her face was naturally full of smiles, only to see her say to the queen: "Queen Mother, you can rest assured, His Royal Highness the prince is very smart, and doing these things is not easy to catch." ”

"Don't coax her again, he's the most unbearable kid, and when others coax her, he forgets his form!"

When the queen heard Yulan say this, she was naturally happy in her heart, but she still made an angry look on her face and nodded the prince's head.

"Mother, how can you say that about your sons? Erchen has always listened to you the most, you say bad things about Erchen, don't you mean that you are talking about yourself? ”

"Listen, listen, Yulan, you just praised him, didn't he get carried away now, he still talked about me."

In an instant, the Yikun Palace was full of laughter.
