Xu Lan was careful along the way, trying her best to avoid the palace maids and eunuchs on the road, and finally came to the prince's palace.

Xu Lanxiang looked around and found that no one had found her, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she raised her head and looked up at the solemn and majestic Prince East Palace.

This is the first time that Xu Lan has been so close to the center of power in the capital.

Time waits for no one, and just at the Qianqiu banquet, the queen issued an order to let the prince go to her palace to talk to her. So now that Xu Lan has come to the Prince's East Palace, the prince is not in the palace, but if Xu Lan is rubbing for a moment or two, the prince may come back immediately.

Without further ado, Xu Lan quietly sneaked into the prince's palace.

This is also thanks to the fact that Xu Lan and Xu Xin have been naughty and noisy since they were children, and often hide in Tibet to play and catch cats, so Xu Lan has another experience in hiding her traces.

The prince's palace is silent at the moment, but you can see a few palace maids cleaning the palace there, and there are a few other little eunuchs, Xu is because of today's Qianqiu banquet, thinking that no one will come to the East Palace, so they all relaxed their vigilance and drank and gambled in the back, which gave Xu Lan a chance.

Xu Lan thought clearly on the way to come, if Dali Temple would hand over the file to the prince for review, this file was not in the prince's study, but in the palace.

Xu Lan thought for a moment and took the lead in walking towards the prince's study.

She gently pushed the door open and walked in, and found that the study was very carefully organized, and the things were put in order.

Xu Lan didn't dare to make too many moves, for fear of arousing the prince's suspicion, so she carefully checked all kinds of documents.

It's just that after this investigation, nothing was found, Xu Lan couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the prince put the file in his bedroom?

Thinking like this, Xu Lan carefully went through the prince's study again, but there was still no result.

Xu Lan took a deep breath, it seemed that she could only go to the prince's bedroom to try her luck.

However, at this time, Xu Lan suddenly heard a noisy sound outside, and faintly heard the eunuch's sharp voice: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Not good! Xu Lan was shocked in her heart, the prince had returned!

Xu Lan originally wanted to rush out of the study immediately, but as soon as she walked to the door, she heard footsteps coming this way.

Fortunately, the prince's desk is very large, and it is more than enough to accommodate one Xu Lan, Xu Lan tried her best to put away her dress and hid it in the desk.

Amitabha, bless the prince and don't bend down to pick up things! Xu Lan was extremely panicked in her heart, and could only keep praying.

"Squeak-" The door was pushed open, and then a loud voice came: "Fourth brother, you rarely come to my East Palace as a guest, and I will be as good as you when I come here today!" ”

Listening to the tone of the voice, it seemed to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Xu Lan thought secretly.

"Brother Huang, you're welcome, I really like this "Clear Post When the Snow is Fast", otherwise I would be embarrassed to bother you in the middle of the night." At this time, the voice of the fourth prince Ji Chen came.

Why is he here? Xu Lan couldn't help but wonder again.

"Hey, fourth brother, why do we two brothers say these words, since you like this "Sunny Post When the Snow is Fast", then I will give it to you. Don't be polite to me. ”

When the fourth prince Ji Chen heard the prince say this, he could only say helplessly: "Brother Huang, I don't dare to let you cut your love, I'll just come and copy it, and put such a valuable calligraphy here with the imperial brother." ”

Xu Lan listened to the conversation between the two brothers, and couldn't help but pout her lips secretly.

Now no one knows that the battle between the princes is already in full swing, but who has made the royal family always pay attention to the superficial kung fu, but the more the brothers fight to the death, the more harmonious and loving they become.

Just when Xu Lan was thinking like this, the crown prince and the fourth prince Ji Chen had already walked to the desk, only to hear the prince churning, so he took out a pair of things, which seemed to be spread on the desk.

"Fourth brother, look, this is the "Sunny Post When the Snow is Fast"!"

Xu Lan saw the person next to her, stepped forward, and stood next to the desk, not moving for a long time, thinking that she was observing the "Sunny Post When the Snow is Fast" at this moment.

Xu Lan didn't care about the Rausch post they were looking at at at the moment, she just felt that her legs were getting more and more numb while squatting, and she couldn't help but secretly complain.

However, the house leaked and it rained continuously, Xu Lan has been secretly praying in her heart that nothing will fall on the ground, and then let the prince bend down to pick up things and see Xu Lan's hiding place.

It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, and only a light "snap" was heard, and it turned out that one of the prince's brushes was accidentally touched to the ground by the prince.

Hearing the "snap", Xu Lan's heart rose to her throat, she held her breath, and looked at the two people next to the desk in horror.

I saw that the prince took a step back, and was about to bend down to pick up the brush, but suddenly, Ji Chen next to him took the first step, he took the lead in bending down and picking up the pen, and then put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, I just took a look at your calligraphy, so that you were so stingy that I actually touched the brush, but I was so anxious." ”

When the prince heard this, he laughed loudly and said, "How can you say that? Being a brother is just my negligence, if the fourth brother likes me, he will naturally cut his love. ”

Now Xu Lan didn't have the heart to mock the two brothers, brothers, friends and brothers.

She covered her mouth tightly, recalling the glance that Ji Chen cast at her when she bent down to pick up the pen, and her heart was almost in arrest.

It's just that the fourth prince Ji Chen just picked up the brush, but did not tell the prince Xu Lan about the existence, this behavior made Xu Lan secretly put a question mark on the fourth prince: Fourth prince, why didn't Ji Chen expose me?

After nearly a quarter of an hour, the prince and the fourth prince Ji Chen talked and laughed at the "Sunny Post when the Snow is Fast" to watch, the fourth prince Ji Chen insisted on not wanting this post, and the prince and him went back and forth a few times, and they also accepted this post.

After putting down the copybook, the two brothers left the study one after the other, but in an instant, the entire study was quiet, and Xu Lan could only hear the sound of her heart fluttering.

Xu Lan pricked up her ears and only listened to the footsteps of the prince and Ji Chen getting farther and farther away, until she couldn't hear the sound, and then crawled out from under the desk with cold hands and feet.

Xu Lan didn't dare to stay in this study any longer, so she hurriedly dodged out of this study. Taking advantage of the fact that the palace maids and eunuchs in the prince's east palace were not paying attention, they quietly slipped out of the east palace.

This night, Xu Lan did not hear any useful news, and the dossier of Dali Temple did not see any trace, but exposed his whereabouts to the fourth prince Ji Chen, Xu Lan thought about it, and became more and more annoyed in her heart.

"You're too daring. The second brother has always been strict and ruthless, if you are found by him today, it is inevitable that he will threaten your father with what you think about this matter, you are so reckless, have you ever thought about your father, your own family? ”

Xu Lan was taken aback, and suddenly a male voice sounded behind her, she turned her head in panic, but what caught her eye was Ji Chen, the fourth prince who had just met her.

"You, why did you come out too?" Xu Lan couldn't help but ask.

Ji Chen didn't answer her words, and still said with a cold face: "I originally thought you were very smart, but I didn't expect that in the end you would be just a reckless man." ”

When Xu Lan heard his sneering words, her face couldn't help but turn red, but she still said stubbornly: "I thanked the four princes for their rescue, but why did the four princes come to accuse me, what position do they have to accuse me, the four princes are neither my family nor friends with me, and it is probably inappropriate to suddenly stand up and accuse the little girl." ”

Ji Chen glanced at her coldly: "It's that I'm wolf-hearted, and I don't want to care about you, but I advise you, Xu Zhen and I are close friends, you still have to think about your brother when you do things yourself!" ”

When it came to her younger brother, Xu Lan suddenly felt a wave of anger rushing up her throat, and asked directly: "Since the fourth prince and his younger brother are close friends, then it can be seen that my younger brother is seriously injured, and there is a grievance, the fourth prince was in the Xu Wangfu that day, and the inside story is naturally clear, but the judgment of Dali Temple has come down, isn't the fourth prince also quiet?" Although it is a close friend, it is far inferior to my sister, who is a concubine, and I still have the desire to fight to find the truth for my younger brother, what did I do if I wasn't a close friend of the fourth prince? ”

The more Xu Lan spoke, the more angry she became, as if she had found an outlet for the distress and boredom of the past few days, she suddenly remembered one thing again, bowed her head and took out a jade pendant from her pocket angrily, took a few steps forward, and stuffed it into Ji Chen's hand and said: "I really can't afford this jade pendant, and the four princes don't have to have a relationship with me, this jade pendant should be taken back, and the four princes don't have to give any big gifts on the day of the ceremony, and the little girl can't afford this love." ”

Ji Chen looked at Xu Lan's angry face in front of him, but the jade pendant in his hand was cold.

He didn't speak a little, just looked at Xu Lan fixedly, Xu Lan was a little weak by his eyes, but he still held on to his breath and turned his head away angrily.

Speaking of both ends, after Xu Xin on this side separated from Xu Lan, she originally wanted to wait for Xu Lan at her own carriage outside the palace, but unexpectedly after walking a few steps, she heard a clear female voice behind her: "Miss Xu, please stay!" ”
