"I'm leaving." Xiao Yin finally spoke, breaking the silence.

"I know." Liu Ke cut his hands and said with a smile.

"I have two things that I want to ask Your Highness."

Liu Ke nodded and said, "You say." ”

"First of all, my sister has been away from the south for too long, she misses the scenery of Yanbo Lake, and I want to send my sister back."

Liu Ke smiled slightly and said softly: "I have also thought of this matter, and I have already made arrangements. You can rest assured. ”

"The second thing, I heard that His Royal Highness dismissed my sister's handmaid, and I want Rongyue to follow me in the future."

Liu Ke didn't answer immediately, he paced two steps, and turned his head to look at the flower garden in the courtyard outside the door. Peony scattered.

"I promise you."

Xiao Yin also walked out of the room, made a deep sigh, and prepared to leave.

"Do you believe me?" Behind him, Liu Ke's voice sounded, and Xiao Yin's heart was infinitely stunned for a while.

Xiao Yin didn't know how to answer, so after a long time, he turned around: "What does Your Highness mean?" ”

Liu Ke's eyes were lonely, and his brows were slightly frowned. With his hands behind his back, he slowly walked to the edge of the peony garden. opened his mouth, and there was a trace of bitterness at the corner of his mouth: "You shouldn't ask this question." There is no right or wrong in the world, if you choose to believe, you should live a simple and clear life, and believe in everything; If you choose not to believe, then simply doubt everything, even if it is the closest person, do not believe him. ”

"Huh?" Xiao Yin felt a little confused, as if all the changes had not happened, as if he was still the gentle man who was reading official documents behind the openwork Nanmu lattice in the study, and from time to time he lectured and commented on words for her.

Liu Ke looked at Xiao Yin, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes stretched out little by little: "Life is the most afraid of self-suffering, I hope you will never." ”

"Sister's business, did you do it?"

"It's not."

Xiao Yin asked this question, not for an answer, but as if to strangle the harmful suspicion. "Actually, I didn't really doubt you. That day, it was nothing but ......"

"I understand." Liu Ke had a smile on his face again.

Xiao Yin walked out of the Yimen and boarded the carriage. The carriage was busy, and it didn't take long to leave the prince's mansion behind.

Liu Ke rode a horse, walked from the official road in front of Yimen to the Chunming Gate, and finally took the reins, jumped off the horse, and just looked ahead.

"The beauty is in the carriage, and Your Highness is here, which is impossible to see." A handsome boy dressed in an elegantly trimmed gold silk robe with a plum blossom tied around his waist came out of the alley outside the Chunming Gate, stood behind Liu Ke, and quipped.

"Does the teacher know you're wandering here again?" Liu Ke didn't look back.

"Hey, why don't you know it's me without looking at it, it's really boring," Xue Yu was a little disappointed, "Fortunately, there are brothers in the family." My dad won't care about me. ”

Liu Ke led the horse, turned around and left.

"Hey, wait for me," Xue Yu staggered, hurriedly following, "Let's get down to business, do you really plan to let Deng Yao escort the crown princess Ling south?" ”

"Deng Yao's martial arts are good, calm and strategic. If he is allowed to do such an errand, he can naturally be competent. ”

"It's true that I haven't been in the office, but now I'm seriously worried about you, but you're fooling me like this, it's too uninteresting," Xue Yu was very dissatisfied, "The bad debts of the Zhang family and Beidi in Jiaozhou haven't been settled yet." And this Deng Yao, you deliberately let him go out to patrol Jiaozhou before, although you didn't find any mistakes, but he is always a Di person. If he cherishes his homeland, although there are only a few thousand black-armored guards, it is enough to hold the fortress from Cheshire to Jiaozhou, and if it forms an angle with the north of the city, then Chang'an will be in trouble. ”

"I've thought about all of this, but right now, the front and back palaces seem to be calm, but in fact, my entire East Palace is walking on thin ice. Now I just want to point out the cancer of Jiaozhou and win a respite for my East Palace. Liu Ke's eyes were depressed, "Let a Di person lead the black armor guard south, Zhang Lan Mangfu, he will definitely be gullible and tricked." When the time comes, it will be called a mess in Jiaozhou, and even in Cheshire. ”

"But why choose Deng Yao? You know very well that a character like him would be too difficult to deal with if he became an enemy. Xue Yu was very puzzled.

"If you think about it, there will always be omissions. Now it is also a helpless risky move, just like a gamble. Chang'an's Di people have surrendered to thousands of generals, but he is the only one who will take my gamble. ”

"You're a person who always gets more and more mysterious. Bet? So what's the stake? Xue Yu asked.

Liu Ke's face sank, turned over on the horse, clamped the horse's belly, and galloped away.

"Hey, what's going on?" Xue Yu looked stunned and was thrown under the Chunming Gate.

Xue Yu was about to scold, when an old servant of the prince's mansion came over, followed by a sedan chair.

"Xue Gongzi, the master asked to send Xue Gongzi home." The old servant stepped forward respectfully.

"It's not even close." Xue Yu muttered to himself, and muttered again, "Gamble, bet? It seems to be kind of interesting. I entered the sedan chair for a while, but I couldn't help but secretly dislike it: It's still a dignified prince, this sedan chair is too broken.

"Hey, for the sake of you being my eldest brother, my son can only endure this grievance." Xue Yu sighed secretly.

……

Outside Chang'an City, Baili Pavilion.

"Today is the same as Fangju wine, and the Ming Dynasty should be broken Pengfei." Xiao Huan raised his wine glass, sang loudly, and drank it all.

Cai Apple stood aside with a wine jug and came up to pour wine, but he couldn't hold back the red circles in his eyes.

"Why is Xiao Nizi crying," Xiao Huan said softly, "Don't cry!" I've got the title of Taishou this time. ”

"Tongjun is colder than Chang'an, my brother has to take care of himself." Xiao Yin held a wine glass. The word Taishou aroused a sneer in her heart. What do you say about entrusting me with a heavy responsibility, but I don't worry about my father, even if my sister dies, I have to find another reason to put my brother in a position that can be easily controlled.

"My sister also has to take care of herself. It's a pity that I can't send my eldest sister south with my sister. My sister is alone, she must be careful in everything, if she crosses the Zhijiang River, if she can not come back, she will not come back. Xiao Huan admonished.

When Xiao Yin heard this, he just silently drank the wine in the wine glass.

There are public voices of cars and horses on the official road.

The brother and sister looked out of the pavilion, and it was the emperor's reward and the accompanying convoy.

The two horses were sitting on horseback, but they were Liu Chen and Liu Yan. The carriage next to it stopped, and an inner supervisor jumped down.

"Congratulations to the prince, I have to be recommended. The prince is an all-round man in civil and military affairs, and it is a great responsibility," the inner supervisor raised his hand and said, "These are all holy rewards, and I wish the prince all the best." ”

Xiao Huan thanked him, then turned his head to Liu Chen and smiled: "I didn't expect that the one sent by the Holy Lord to send me on a long trip was His Royal Highness King Xin." It's worth it. So saying, he stepped on the stirrups, got on the horse, took two steps forward on the official road, and turned the horse again. Facing Liu Chen and Liu Yanyao, he bowed his hand: "Thank you." Then he turned his horse and departed.

The accompanying convoy followed, and walked away, raising a long loess on the official road.

Xiao was confused by the yellow dust in front of him, and gradually blurred his brother's figure.
