Xiao Fengming was entangled in everything, and was entangled by Shang Lingyu and those dragon generals, although he tried every possible way to go to the banquet of the six princes with Xiao Lingxiao, but was stopped by Xiao Lingxiao.

Xiao Lingxiao didn't even bring Bao Rong'er this time, she came to the mansion of the six princes alone, and when she got out of the carriage, she saw that the six princes were already standing in front of the door and waiting, Xiao Lingxiao smiled indifferently and entered the mansion with him.

The invitation only said that the six princes invited Xiao Lingxiao to the mansion for a banquet, and after coming, Xiao Lingxiao found out that there were no other guests today, and the six princes only invited herself.

The two sat around a table in an inner room, and the atmosphere was extremely intimate.

The sixth prince poured a glass of wine for Xiao Lingxiao and said, "Miss Lingxiao, I took the liberty to invite you over today, and I hope you don't blame me for being reckless." ”

Xiao Lingxiao shook her head with a smile, "His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness deliberately brought me here, presumably because there must be something important." ”

The sixth prince took a sip, put down the wine glass, and said, "At present, the war between my Wuqi Kingdom and the Ming Kingdom is intensifying, and Prime Minister Xiao Cheng has every opportunity, I have asked to see him several times, but I have never been able to see him." I also heard that in recent days, in your mansion, Old Madam Xiao and Madame Xiao are both ill, I think about it, and I feel that it is still inconvenient to bother......"

When the sixth prince said this, he looked up at Xiao Lingxiao, and when he saw her listening quietly, his heart couldn't help jumping.

The six princes were also very clear about the matter of Chufu Tower, he thought that Xiao Lingxiao would go to Chufu Mansion alone with the four princes, and there must be something between the two. But just when he was disheartened, he heard that the fourth prince seemed to have changed as a person, and finally there was news that his body had collapsed, and the sixth prince hurriedly visited him in the house. At first glance, the six princes were scared enough.

The four princes, who were always proud of them in the past, have now made people not like people and ghosts. The imperial doctor sent him said that he had been hit by some strange aphrodisiac, and he didn't know why the medicine lasted so long, and it was so powerful, in short, his lower body was abolished, and the whole person became crazy, I am afraid that it will be difficult to cure it again.

After the sixth prince came out of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, he was so excited that he immediately started to prepare, and after thinking about it for a long time, he deliberately found Xiao Lingxiao in the mansion.

In fact, if he wanted to go to Xiao Shuyong and them first, he would never have the obstacles he said, but the six princes knew very well that Xiao Lingxiao was different from the daughters of other rich and noble families, her affairs were all her own decisions, especially her life's major events, only with her personal consent could she count.

The sixth prince took another sip of wine, took a deep breath, and it took a long time before he raised his head and said to Xiao Lingxiao, "Lingxiao, I want to go and ask my father to give me an order immediately...... Would you like to? ”

Hearing the six princes say this, Xiao Lingxiao couldn't help frowning.

But the sixth prince seemed to expect Xiao Lingxiao to have concerns, and hurriedly explained, "Lingxiao, I know that I was in a desperate situation at the beginning, and my status as a prince was in jeopardy. But tonight is different from the past, now the fourth brother has that crazy strange disease, and the city is full of wind and rain, and his father is very angry about it, and the fourth brother is finished! Without the fourth brother, not only did my father re-value me, but even the courtiers in the court all turned to support me. At the beginning, you were the only one who thought that I would eventually succeed, but now, my father and courtiers have seen my goodness, and I am no longer the prince who is in danger! ”

The more the sixth prince spoke, the more excited he became, he put down the wine glass, grabbed Xiao Lingxiao's hand, his eyes flashed with brilliance, and his voice also raised a few points, "I promise you the position of concubine, in the future, you will be the mother of this country, the mother of the world!" I will definitely make the child you give birth to, and I will never let him suffer from me again! Ling Xiao, marry me! ”

Xiao Lingxiao frowned and looked at the man in front of him, he was really different from before.

When I first saw Li Jingxuan, he behaved elegantly, wise and alert, although he was in danger, he did not lack that heroic and righteous spirit. But looking at him now, it is clear that he was carried away by filthy desires, and he has become a person who chases high positions and is desperate.

His current gaze, Xiao Lingxiao had seen it in the eyes of the four princes. Xiao Lingxiao inevitably felt a little heartache, making the six princes what they are now, in addition to his father who can even give up his own son, maybe Xiao Lingxiao himself also has some responsibilities. She used Li Jingxuan more than once, giving him fighting spirit, but also making him fall deeper.

Xiao Lingxiao didn't retract her hand, she sighed lightly, looked at Li Jingxuan, and said softly, "Sixth Highness, Lingxiao has a few heartfelt words today, and I ask Your Highness Sixth to listen to me patiently." ”

When the sixth prince looked at Xiao Lingxiao's expression, his heart turned over. He slowly let go of Xiao Lingxiao's hand and nodded slightly.

"His Royal Highness is known for his wisdom, but he doesn't understand people's hearts." Xiao Lingxiao's voice was like flowing water, murmuring, "The emperor's art is all in the hearts of the people, the reason why the emperor treated the six highnesses like that was not because the six highnesses have no ability, but because the emperor saw that the six highnesses could not be the emperor." ”

When Li Jingxuan heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, but before he could have a seizure, Xiao Lingxiao raised his hand and held his hand and suppressed his words.

I heard Xiao Lingxiao continue, "The emperor asked the Sixth Highness to investigate the case, and the Sixth Highness did it neatly every time, and the Sixth Highness must have such an ability, presumably the emperor has a number in his heart." can have such skills enough to be a good courtier, but not a good emperor. His Royal Highness the Sixth is upright and upright, and he will not be able to see through the emperor's thoughts, not only can he not see through the emperor's thoughts, but he also can't see the situation in the court. In this way, even if His Royal Highness the Sixth really becomes the emperor in the future, he will definitely be struggling, and if he is not careful, he is afraid that he will be in danger of losing the country. And the four princes, although they are not as good as the six highnesses everywhere, he knows how to use power and can buy people's hearts. It's just that if my guess is correct, the reason why the emperor has favored him so much for so many years is not because he intends to pass on the throne to him, but because he is on the cusp of the storm to protect the real heir in the emperor's heart. ”

Listening to Xiao Lingxiao's first few words, the six princes still wanted to get angry, but after listening to her later words, the six princes couldn't help but widen their eyes and sigh secretly. Unexpectedly, Xiao Lingxiao, a woman, was even more visionary and knowledgeable than he imagined.

Xiao Lingxiao didn't care what the six princes thought now, she knew very well that today's words, no matter whether the six princes could listen to them or not, she had to say them to feel at ease.

"The four princes are shields, and now that the four princes have fallen, if the Sixth Highness takes a step forward, you will become a shield. In the future, the emperor will set up a prince, and the prince will definitely not be able to accommodate the six highnesses. Now those courtiers gathered around you, since they can abandon the four princes, they will naturally be able to abandon you in the future, so those people are not worth trusting. Xiao Lingxiao took Li Jingxuan's hand and sighed lightly, "Your Royal Highness, although the emperor's position is supreme and lofty, it is also extremely cold. Instead of fighting for the power of that moment, it is better to be a free prince, find someone to love and accompany you for a lifetime. ”

Xiao Lingxiao's voice lagged behind, and the room was quiet for a long time. The two of them clasped hands and looked at each other, only the candlelight on the table flickered, and their thoughts lingered.

Suddenly with a long sigh, the sixth prince seemed to have unloaded some heavy object, tears flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Ling Xiao...... Ling Xiao...... Do you really think so? Are you saying this to help me? Is it to save me? Or do you look down on me, an incompetent prince? ”

"Your Highness, I, Xiao Lingxiao, don't have the ability to help you save you, let alone look down on you. You helped me save me, and I just said it from the bottom of my heart today. ”

Xiao Lingxiao felt the big hands of the sixth prince trembling slightly, and then she suddenly understood why he would become like another person, it turned out that he was working hard, he was forcing himself to chase, to achieve the apex set by others.

A tear slipped from the corner of Li Jingxuan's eyes, and he hurriedly let go of Xiao Lingxiao's hand and wiped away the tears.

"I used to think I was the loneliest person in the world, but today you said that to me. Ling Xiao, you're right, I won't be scheming like the fourth brother, nor can I fight with the courtiers all day long like my father, in fact, I have long known that I can't be the emperor at all. You said that if I really fought for that position, I would accidentally lose the country, this sentence can really be described as an enlightenment. When you think about it, it's scary. ”

Li Jingxuan smiled bitterly, relieved. He forced himself to make up his mind to fight for that position, but in reality he was deeply afraid of it. What you don't want to get, you won't get it after all, and once you let go of your obsession, it's like opening up another world for yourself.

It's just that......

He looked at Xiao Lingxiao, and he already knew it in his heart.

Since Xiao Lingxiao was able to say this to him, it showed that she only regarded herself as a friend and had no intention of marrying her. Especially her last sentence to find someone to love and be with her for a lifetime, she rejected him.

Before today, Li Jingxuan repeated the scene in front of him over and over again in his heart, imagining that Xiao Lingxiao would promise himself, would reject himself, be happy again and again, sad again and again, look forward to it, and be afraid, but it was not until today that he realized that he might have been a manly man who could afford to let go.

This may also be because of Xiao Lingxiao's calmness.

Xiao Lingxiao looked at the change in the expression on Li Jingxuan's face, and she also had some admiration in her heart. Although this sixth prince is not a material to be an emperor, as long as there is a Ming monarch in power, he will definitely be the mainstay of this Wuqi country in the future. He has a heart, courage, belly, and wisdom, and such a man will definitely find a good match for him.

Xiao Lingxiao raised the wine glass, Li Jingxuan also raised the wine glass, the two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had a tacit understanding, clinking glasses and drinking, a cup of sake, as if everything had been washed clean.

After drinking this cup, Xiao Lingxiao told Li Jingxuan that she was leaving Wuqi Kingdom. The cup in Li Jingxuan's hand fell with a bang, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

"You...... Are you leaving? ”

I thought I could afford to put it down, but I didn't know that this heart was still tightly held by this woman.

Li Jingxuan came back to his senses, couldn't help but smile bitterly, then raised his head and said softly, "Ling Xiao, you said that those immortal stones are probably in the hands of the royal families of all countries, I will take you to see the fifth brother tomorrow, he will definitely be able to help a lot in this matter." ”
