Originally, today's palace banquet also had half the purpose, which was to give most of the middle-aged high-ranking women to see their husbands. But because as soon as the giant python appeared, most of the noble girls were scared, and many of them were directly scared and cried in place. Many people are out of shape, and they don't have the mind to look at each other and choose a mate, pushing the cup to change the lamp, and they are quite absent-minded.

Song Jinyan was also a little lacking in interest, and after listening to two more songs and dances, he waved his hand to end the banquet.

In the field, only Lan Ruoxuan was in a good mood, missing an eyeliner around her, and walking quite briskly.

Kaori behind her followed Lan Ruoxuan step by step, as if she sensed something, stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang-the master is here." ”

Lan Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows, looked around, and saw that there was no one, so she let Kaori take her to a secluded place off the beaten track.

Chu Li stood in front of him with his hands in his hands, his face expressionless, and a man standing on the other side was the one who looked at him several times at the banquet.

"You ......" Lan Ruoxuan stretched out her hand, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

I saw that the man glanced at himself faintly, and then stretched out his hand and gently swept his face, and quickly changed into an iron mask, and a familiar and cold face appeared in front of his eyes, it was Lan Haoke.

Lan Ruoxuan exclaimed, she didn't expect Lan Haoke to be so bold, and in front of everyone's eyes, she directly blended into the banquet, and she was not afraid of being discovered by Song Jinyan.

Glancing at Chu Li on the side again, Lan Ruoxuan's face sank slightly: "Prince Chu, you should give this palace an explanation for today's matter." ”

Chu Li's face stiffened, and he didn't look over: "Concubine Lan, if it weren't for my girl, I'm afraid you would have been buried in the belly of the snake now, and I hope you will speak politely." ”

Lan Ruoxuan snorted coldly, with a thick disdain on her face: "What Prince Chu said, if it weren't for your proposal to dance a snake, there would not be such a show, could it be that you really want to bury that beast in the belly of this palace?" ”

Chu Li raised his eyebrows, as if he was still speaking, only to hear Lan Haoke's voice on the side sounded coldly: "Okay, Ruoxuan, since you are okay now, let's say a few words, time is precious, now is not the time for small talk, I believe that since Prince Chu is willing to come, he has already reached a preliminary consensus with us, and there is no need to waste his tongue on meaningless things." ”

Chu Li and Lan Ruoxuan both turned their heads away and did not speak again.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Lan Haoke continued to speak: "What Prince Chu meant, my sister and I have already understood, since we have the same goal, it is indeed a good strategy to form an alliance. ”

Nodding, Lan Haoke continued: "If Prince Chu is willing, I will arrange an opportunity in the near future, and then Prince Chu can take advantage of the situation to make some moves." ”

Chu Li nodded, and glanced at Lan Ruoxuan with a cold expression: "I hope that this time Concubine Lan won't have any messy medicine in her hands." "Lift your legs and go.

Seeing Chu Li leaving, Lan Ruoxuan's face improved a little, looking at Lan Haoke, there were three points of surprise and three points of fear in her expression, and said, "Brother, is Chu Li really trustworthy?" ”

"Prince Nanzhao is quite scheming, don't believe it too much," Lan Haoke said: "Since the girl he buried next to you is dead, it is naturally the best, I used to use the plate of dishes to pass the news to you before, and I will use various methods to hand the news to Kaori in the future, you are in the palace, in addition to Chu Li and Kou Shu, you must also beware of Song Jinyan." ”

Lan Ruoxuan nodded, only to hear Lan Haoke behind him continue to speak: "As for the receiver that day, it's yours now, right?" ”

Lan Ruoxuan was stunned: "In my dormitory." ”

Lan Haoke nodded: "Back then, you went to the secret room to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix, and exchanged a fake Heavenly Machine Box for the real one, but there was no way to open the box for a long time. ”

Lan Ruoxuan looked ashamed: "Indeed, I have been in the palace for more than three years, but I have never found the slightest clue about the box. ”

"The key to the receiver that day is divided into three parts, one of which is in the Imperial Study, have you seen the tips I left behind?" Lan Haoke turned his head and stared at Lan Ruoxuan with a pair of eyes. Lan Ruoxuan opened her eyes with a weak heart, only to hear Lan Haoke snort coldly, and her tone was even more unkind: "It's not enough." ”

"Brother, I'm about to turn over the imperial study, but I haven't found anything." Lan Ruoxuan was a little dissatisfied, and explained with a flat mouth.

Lan Haoke snorted coldly: "You go and fetch the box for me first." Just now, Chu Li said that part of the key to the Heavenly Machine Box is in the imperial study, and part of it is in the Kou family, whether what he said is true or not, I have to go to the Kou family to take a look. ”

"The Kou family?" Lan Ruoxuan frowned, Chu Li had also told himself about this matter, when he took the box, he had carefully searched Kou Yunwu's study, but he didn't find anything.

Lan Haoke nodded: "You don't have to worry about this matter." After that, Lan Haoke changed his words and said: "I will arrange a reliable girl for you to enter the palace in the next few days, and in the future, you must act according to my instructions, and if you can't receive my news, you will not move." Don't have a head-on confrontation with Kou Shu. You know? ”

Lan Ruoxuan nodded honestly and stepped forward, just because her position is high now, and she can see the panoramic view of most of the harem, and there are lush trees everywhere.

"The trees in the palace are all green." Lan Ruoxuan looked at the trees outside and muttered.

A flash of extremely fast darkness flashed in Lan Haoke's eyes, as if he had thought of something: "You have been counting these farther away in the past few days. I have one thing to do. ”

"Trees?" Lan Ruoxuan was puzzled: "It's good, what do you want to do with the tree?" ”

Lan Haoke waved his hand, you will know when the time comes, now take me to pick up the receiver of the day first. Lan Ruoxuan stopped talking, nodded and turned around and went to the Yilan Hall with Lan Haoke.

In another part of the palace, a thin figure was slightly hunched, standing in a palace that was not grandiose, and it could be seen that this person's status in Daxuan was not high-it was Chu Li.

His eyes had faded from the sharpness and cunning that they had just had, but now they were thick and indissolvable sadness, and there was a thin layer of frost under his eyes, and he had lost his lustre.

He was holding a corner of shredded clothes in his hand, and anyone who was interested would find that it was the clothes worn by the girl who had just been buried in the belly of the serpent at the banquet. Chu Li's body trembled slightly unconsciously, as if he was enduring great sorrow, and finally he couldn't help but squat down and muttered in a very low voice: "Qingnu, why do you bother to ......"
