Murong Xi glanced at her coldly, "If you dare to speak ill of Luo Ling in the future, beware of your tongue!" ”

After saying this, Murong Xi shook his sleeves and strode away without looking back.

Lin Moyu immediately collapsed to the ground, it was really dangerous just now, fortunately she didn't talk to Liu Caidie a little deeper, otherwise she would no longer be able to hide from Murong Attack today.

Liu Caidie, who met Xiahou Yan in the corridor, was not much better, Xiahou Yan did not ask directly like Murong Xian, but took Liu Caidie into the carriage.

The carriage had been driving for a long time, but he still closed his eyes and recuperated, and his face was indeed extremely cold.

"Your Highness, courtier..."

Xiahou Yan didn't ask yet, Liu Caidie felt that things couldn't be handled, the air in the carriage suddenly dropped in temperature, and Liu Caidie was a little unconsciously afraid.

"Do you know why this king has kept your life all the time?"

Xiahou Yan still closed his eyes and slowly spit out a sentence.

Liu Caidie shrank her head, not daring to look at him, she whispered, "Your Highness, the courtiers didn't mean to target Luo Ling. It's just that you don't know that when you were not in Bianjing, she led people to break into the Nine Princes' Mansion and tied the courtiers to a place like Chunxianglou, and she did this, which was clearly an insult to His Royal Highness. The courtiers were angry for a while, so they talked more to Lin Moyu. ”

Liu Caidie simply took the opportunity to sue and let Xiahou Yan divert his attention.

The man slowly opened his eyes, and his black eyebrows were raised, "The king also secretly investigated the matter back then, and the reason why Ling'er treated you so much is all your own fault!" Don't think that this king doesn't know, the fire in the cold palace was set by you, and you burned her maid to death, this account, this king hasn't settled it with you? ”

Feeling the murderous aura in the carriage, Liu Caidie immediately got down from her seat and knelt in front of Xiahou Yan.

"The courtiers are guilty! The courtier's daughter was confused for a while, but fortunately Luo Ling was fine, and she also beat my maid to death afterwards. Please ask Your Highness to learn about this matter! ”

"This king said that there is a reason for keeping your life, if you have a different heart, it will not be good for Ling'er! This king will definitely let the whole Zhangzhou be buried! ”

Liu Caidie ignored the bumps in the carriage and kowtowed repeatedly, "Everything is the fault of the courtiers, and please don't anger the entire Zhangzhou!" ”

The man had a lazy tone, but it was full of danger,

"Do a good job of your ninth princess, only this once, not an example!"

The carriage did not return to the post station, but drove directly to the palace of the Liang Kingdom.

At the gate of the palace, Concubine Xu Xian walked over leisurely, "His Royal Highness the Nine Kings is going to see the emperor?" ”

Xiahou Yanhu looked at Concubine Xu Xian suspiciously and asked, "Concubine Xian has something to do with this king?" ”

Concubine Xu Xian glanced at Liu Caidie beside Xiahou Yan, and she smiled politely, "Can His Royal Highness the Nine Kings take a step to speak?" ”

Xiahou Yan pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

The clouds in the distance were gilded with a faint yellow, shining on the sparkling water. In the imperial garden, Xiahou Yan and Concubine Xu Xian stood by the koi pond and chatted a little, leaving the rest of the people who followed.

Emperor Chu Yu is reviewing the folds in the imperial study at the moment. Xiahou Yan just met the emperor in the morning, and Xiahou Yan came to visit him again in the afternoon, in the eyes of others, he must have come to find fault!

Emperor Chu Yu lazily raised his eyelids and looked at Xiao Yunzi.

"Why is he here again?"

There was a hint of helplessness in Emperor Chu Yu's tone, he wouldn't know about the detention of Xiahou Luoling, right?

Xiao Yunzi was very embarrassed, "This... How do minions know? The Nine Kings of the Great Monarchy are here again! ”

After some consideration, Emperor Chu Yu sat up straight with a serious face.

"Announce him in!"

The eunuch summoned the news, and soon, Xiahou Yan came to the imperial study. was originally going to bring Liu Caidie with him, but just now, he asked her to return to the post station by herself.

"See the emperor!"

As a foreign minister, he still hugged his fists and saluted.

Seeing that there was no anger on Xiahou Yan's face, Emperor Chu Yu adjusted his mentality and said politely.

"Nine Kings, this is... Looking for me? ”

Xiahou Yan bowed his head, looking like he was doing business.

"This king was ordered to come to Liang Kingdom to pick up Princess Xiyue this time, and there were some things that were difficult to say in the Baohua Hall before, so I thought about telling the emperor in private."

Emperor Chu Yu waved his hand and glared at the servants beside him,

"Why don't you give the Nine Kings a seat? A dog minion with no eyesight! ”

Xiao Yunzi immediately understood what Emperor Chu Yu meant, and repeatedly admitted that he was not, "It's all the slave's negligence!" Minions are going, they are going! ”

After only a few moments, Xiao Yunzi moved the chair and served tea to Xiahou Yan.

But... He made the chair, but he didn't take a sip of tea.

After Xiahou Yan politely thanked him, he went straight to the point, "I don't know if the emperor has read the gift list brought by this king this time?" ”

Emperor Chu Yu sighed, "I have seen it, the Great Xunguo sincerely came to marry my Daliang." I was overjoyed, but it was only two days after the death of the Thirteenth Prince, and I felt in my heart... I really don't want anything else. I also ask the Nine Kings to tell Emperor Daxun on my behalf that I don't want to make a good relationship with him at the moment, and I am really helpless to postpone the marriage! ”

Xiahou Yan did not have a trace of emotional fluctuations on his face, and still remained calm,

"Although the king has no children under his knees, he can also understand that the emperor's beloved son is heartfelt, and this king has written to my emperor today, and the marriage of Princess Xiyue can be postponed for three months. Since the king has sent this dowry to the Liang Kingdom, it is the Liang Kingdom, so all the items on this gift list belong to the emperor. ”

Xiahou Yan's kind words made Emperor Chu Yu a little surprised, he glanced at Xiahou Yan suspiciously, and soon his face returned to normal.

"The Nine Kings are so thoughtful, I don't know what to do."

Xiahou Yan followed him and said, "The emperor doesn't have to be so humble, this time the king came to confirm with the emperor whether there is anything missing on the gift list?" If there is, the emperor can bring it up with the king, if not, please ask the emperor to stamp the jade seal on the king's escort documents, and the king can also ask someone to send the documents back to my emperor! As for the five cities that Daxun sincerely married, the king has already brought the contract, as long as the jade seal of Liang State is covered, the emperor can order someone to take it over at any time. ”

Emperor Chu Yu's face was obviously stiff for a few seconds, his expression became more and more complicated, and the small tangled in his eyebrows could not be concealed.

On one side is half of the country promised by Emperor Daxun, and on the other side is the contract of five cities brought by Xiahou Yan. Xiahou Jie said that half of the country is too tempting, but it is also risky. He had to send troops to settle Xiahou Yan for Xiahou Jie.

But now these cities in Xiahou Yan's hands are not at all risky, and they can be obtained without a single soldier. The premise is that the two countries are friendly and allied, which means that the two countries cannot go to war in a short time, otherwise other countries will only say that Liang is treacherous. But waiting, when will I be able to help Xiahou Jie get rid of Xiahouyan?

Emperor Chu Yu struggled in his heart, and his fox-like old face smiled a little dryly,

"Daxunguo is really polite, the friendly marriage between the two countries is certain, but this matter is very important, and it is necessary to choose an auspicious day to take over such a heavy gift. I heard Sima Tai of the Qin Heavenly Prison say that the establishment of the twelve gods, the day of completion and fulfillment of the two characters is regarded as an auspicious day, which means that the harvest is complete and everything can be accomplished, and it is best to marry and pray for blessings. If I hastily cover the jade seal, it seems that I don't pay enough attention to this marriage. ”

Xiahou Yan belly row, this old guy is really cunning, a few months ago I heard that he used five cities to marry, and the old guy still wants to marry Xiyue to Daxun as the queen. This time, he took the contracts of the five cities, but he pushed the mountains to block the four. It seems that there must be something wrong with this.

Xiahou Yan also laughed, "The emperor attaches so much importance to this marriage, but this king is hasty!" Since the emperor said that he would hand over the dowry after watching the day, let Qin Tianjian see the day! ”

Saying and doing, Emperor Chu Yu began to pretend and said to Xiao Yunzi beside him,

"Go, Master Sima from the Heavenly Prison of Chuanqin will come here."

"Yes!"

Xiao Yunzi hurriedly bent down and exited the imperial study, apparently going to give an order.

Emperor Chu Yu took a sip of tea from the teacup on the side, while Xiahou Yan got up and clenched his fists slightly.

"Presumably the emperor still has important things to do, so the king won't bother!"

Emperor Chu Yu nodded and said politely, "It's really inappropriate for the Nine Kings to live in the post station with the Nine Princesses, and I have already asked someone to repair the Keqing Mansion in Xuanyang City as soon as possible." There are all kinds of maids and slaves, why don't you go there and live there? ”

"Thank you for the emperor's good intentions, this king has been fighting for many years, and he is used to lying in the frontier. I feel that the post station is very comfortable to live in, so I don't have to bother! ”

After saying this, Xiahou Yan withdrew from the imperial study.

At this meeting, he didn't mention Xiahou Luoling at all, which made Emperor Chu Yu a little unpredictable.

Isn't it because after a long time, with Liu Caidie by his side, he forgot about Xiahou Luoling?

Just like when he forgot Ling Qianxue, after a long time, he felt that it was not so important!

It's just that when I think about it occasionally, I feel a little reluctant.

Men, who doesn't like the new and hate the old?

Liu Caidie wanted to wait for Xiahou Yan to leave the palace together, but after waiting at the palace gate for a long time, she didn't see Xiahou Yan coming.

I saw that in the alley not far away, a woman in pink palace clothes walked quickly towards the palace gate, as if she was about to leave the palace.

Liu Caidie had no intention of paying attention to the people in the palace, but the palace maid didn't notice her, and walked straight to the palace gate.

When she got closer, Liu Caidie walked up quickly and reached out to stop her.

"Yo, who should this concubine be? It turned out to be my cousin? ”

Liu Caidie said in a weird way, it just so happened that she was bored waiting for Xiahou Yan and others, and she would meet Mo Xiaoyue so coincidentally, because of the relationship between Mo Xiaoyue and Xiahou Luoling. Liu Caidie inevitably couldn't help but sarcastically say a few words to relieve her anger.

A trace of disgust flashed in Mo Xiaoyue's eyes, this is really a coincidence, if Liu Caidie didn't appear, she would almost forget her.

She barely pulled out a smile, "The Ninth Princess has a noble status, how can I be worthy of your sister?" I'm just a down-and-out concubine, and I have long lost the support of King Xiang. The Ninth Princess should stay away from me, so as not to get some bad luck! ”
