In the imperial study of the palace, the atmosphere was a little depressing.

Ling Yan knelt on the side, not daring to speak, raising his eyes from time to time to look at the upper seat, and hurriedly lowered his head.

"You say, do you want to marry Su Qianyue?" Ling Xiong squinted at his son, who lowered his eyebrows, and asked again uncertainly.

Ling Yan heard the emperor's question, and kowtowed again, "Father, the son and the princess are in love, and I also ask the father to fulfill it." After speaking, he looked at the emperor with a sincere face.

Ling Xiong didn't speak again, his face was expressionless, he couldn't see what he was thinking, he just stared at Ling Yan's eyes and narrowed.

These days, Ling Xiong sent many people to check the prince's many properties, and to his surprise, this Ling Yan was indeed quite wealthy, completely beyond the ability of a prince. However, after careful investigation, he did not find any actions that violated the laws and regulations of etiquette, and the court officials who were originally close to the prince also hid and dodged, or claimed to be ill and recuperated, and completely cut off contact. In this way, if you want to punish, the evidence is insufficient.

"Did you know that your crown princess died less than a year ago?" After half a ring, Ling Xiong said coldly.

Ling Yan seemed to have a good countermeasure, and replied: "The father is thoughtful, but the princess of the Qianyue will return to Nanshang in a few days, if the father agrees to the son and the princess of the Qianyue to settle a relationship as soon as possible, then the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Nanshang can be married for a hundred years, the son believes that Xiaoran also hopes to see many considerate people around the son in the sky, as the old minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the master will also hope to see the friendship between the two countries and benefit the people, and also hope that the father and the emperor will be perfect." ”

Ling Yan's words can be said to be for the country and the people, completely blocking Ling Xiong's later words.

Ling Xiong looked at the son in front of him, and only felt impressed, he originally felt that this Ling Yan was simple-minded, but otherwise, he would be more wary of this son in the future. If he is given the backing of NCB again, he is afraid that there will be endless troubles!

"You say this, and you are in love with that Su Qianyue, I am always happy! In that case, let's settle it early! I immediately revised a letter and discussed the matter with the Emperor of Nanshang. ”

"Thank you for your father!" Ling Yan kowtowed again, and wanted to retreat.

Ling Xiong suddenly thought of something, and then said: "This Su Qianyue, I haven't looked at it carefully, I was in a hurry last time, and my impression was vague. Tomorrow night, I will set up a banquet to see off a few envoys, and you let Su Qianyue come earlier. ”

"Yes, my son obeys." Ling Yan saluted again and walked out of the imperial study.

Situ Lie didn't see a chill in this Fengxian Tower for a day, a little strange,

"Smoke, chilling? He wasn't in the room. Situ Lie asked, standing at the door of the cold heart room.

Liuyan looked at the imposing prince in front of him, and because his aura was too strong, he was a little scared, "Childe is out!" ”

"Where did you go? Why didn't you tell Hongu. Situ Lie looked at Liuyan with a cautious look on his face and asked.

"Go... Well..." The appearance of the smoke made Situ Lie annoyed.

"I'm here, is there anything wrong with Lord Lie?" A sudden voice finally freed the smoke. Liuyan heard the chilling voice, and finally relaxed, if the prince didn't come again, he wouldn't be scared to death by this fierce prince.

Following the sound, I saw Hanxin walking in from outside, smiling, and looking good. Because he had just ridden too fast, his hair was a little messy.

"Why didn't you call me when you went out?" Situ Lie asked rhetorically. Looking directly at the cold eyes, the light was a little hot.

Han Xin chose to ignore Situ Lie's question, and asked instead: "Lord Lie's injuries are almost healed, when will you leave Fengxian Tower?" ”

As he spoke, his chilling gaze swept to Situ Lie's right eye, only to see that the dark green had disappeared without a trace, and his whole face was still extremely handsome and flawless.

When Situ Lie heard the cold words, his eyes flashed with loneliness for a moment, and he said in a low voice: "Is Ah Xing driving me away?" ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Liuyan quickly made an excuse and ran away.

"What Lord Lie said, I am an inn restaurant here, as long as I have money, I can live for as long as I want!" Seeing Situ Lie's injured face, Han Xin quickly changed the topic.

"I see!" After speaking, Situ Lie instantly pulled out a large stack of silver tickets from his cuffs, not to mention tens of thousands of taels, and stuffed it to the cold heart, "Can I continue to live here now?" ”

Hanxin looked at the silver ticket in his hand, and his eyes were blank, what did he say, he forgot that this Situ Lie is a dignified regent prince, will he be short of money? Now that I say that, it will be even more difficult to send this Buddha away in the future.

"Lord Lie should go to live in the post house, where the scenery is beautiful, the golden silk soft pillows, and a large number of people waiting, which is much more comfortable than my Fengxian Building." Hanxin tried to persuade again.

"But here is Ah Xing!" As he spoke, Situ Lie's eyes locked on his cold little face again.

It's just that I can't communicate, I give up in a chill, and I don't want to say anything more? I talked about it for a long time, and it was like playing the piano to the cow. Who said that this Situ Lie was indifferent and ruthless, who said that this Situ Lie was lonely and weird, it was all nonsense. The rumors are not credible.

Situ Lie looked at Han Xin's unpredictable little face and smiled, "I can go back to the post house to live." But Ah Xing wants to promise me one thing! ”

Hearing that Situ Lie was willing to take the initiative to leave, his cold heart suddenly rejoiced, "What's the matter?" ”

Seeing that Han Xin was so happy because he left, Situ Lie only felt a little bitter in his heart, "Tomorrow night, the emperor will have a banquet, and Han Xin will go with me." ”

"Good!" I didn't expect the conditions to be so simple, so I agreed to it. I was worried that I couldn't find a reason to enter the palace, and I didn't think that such an opportunity would appear.

If Ling Yan does not fall, and Empress Xiao does not fall, it is impossible for the Xiao family to decline. The century-old foundation of the Xiao family cannot be destroyed overnight, but no matter how big the tree is, there is always a place that cannot be shaded.

"How did you hear that I was going to take you into the palace, I was so happy and stupid!" Looking at the cold heart's distracted appearance, Situ Lie reached out and pinched the cold heart's little face. Such an intimate action made Han Xin's body tremble, and then he took half a step back, appropriately opening up the distance between him and Situ Lie.

"Who's going to pinch my face and go away!" Said coldly, glaring at Situ Lie.

Unexpectedly, Situ Lie instantly raised his hand and pinched his cold little face again, "I'm not allowed to pinch it, what can you do with me?" ”

Looking at Situ Lie's scoundrel appearance, he really wanted to slap him, but when he thought of entering the palace, he endured it again, and immediately turned around and went back to his room, "I can't afford to provoke it, so I can afford to hide!" ”
