Liu Hongjing heard his son say that he had no martial arts, and said with a slight smile: "Fan'er, Taifu's cultivation of you for so many years has been consulted by my father, and your cultivation is best known to my father." ”

Liufan was stunned, raised his eyes and looked at his father, his father's special favor to him made him feel a warm current in his heart.

"Fan'er, as long as you want, my father will definitely give it to you, you don't have to scruple." Lu Hongjing continued.

"As long as you want, my father will give it to you." Hearing this, Lu Fan suddenly remembered Luo Lianyi in his mind, so, will his father give Luo Lianyi to him?

"Fan'er!" Seeing that he was stunned, Liu Hongjing frowned and looked at him.

Liu Fan hurriedly replied: "Father, the son doesn't like this Nanxing princess, she can marry whoever she wants." ”

"This—don't you know the wolf ambitions of the Empress and your eldest brother?" Liu Hongjing's sword eyebrows tightened.

Liu Fan smiled faintly: "Erchen knows that the position of father and son-in-law should have been the eldest emperor's brother, and it is reasonable for them to want to take it back, everything is according to the destiny of heaven." ”

Liu Hongjing looked at him and pondered for a moment, and said: "My father violated the ancestral system and made you the crown prince, and he did owe the queen and your eldest brother, but your eldest brother is cruel and cunning by nature, which is very different from your temperament, if he inherits the unification, it will only bring disaster and killing to the people of Xiling, if he forces you to step down, he will never let you have room to survive, so my father is worried about you day and night, the power of the Duanmu family is growing day and night, my father is not ignorant, but my father has guilt for the queen, and he has been turning a blind eye. Now that it has been allowed to swell into Xiling's cancer, the father emperor has also left a reserve to eradicate it, but if they join forces with the southern Xinjiang again, even the father emperor has to scruple! ”

Lu Fan was lost in thought by his father's words, he looked back at Princess Nanxing, and after all, he couldn't imagine marrying this girl.

"Fan'er, it doesn't matter if you don't like her, you are the crown prince, after he inherits the unification in the future, you are the emperor, you can marry as many women as you like, but the country of Xiling is the only one, your father entrusts you, you must keep it!" Liu Hongjing reached out and solemnly pressed his shoulder.

Over there, Duanmu Yunji looked at this side from a distance, and saw that the two of them were delayed, and their faces were about to freeze.

Liu Fan raised his head and looked at his father firmly: "Father, the sons just want to be husband and wife with the people they really love, and the sons don't want marriage to become a political burial. ”

Liu Hongjing was speechless, he looked at his son, and only sighed after a long time: "You are worthy of being my most beloved son!" Go, my father doesn't force you, my father knows best in his heart how painful it is to stay with someone who has no feelings. ”

Ryu Fan nodded, silently turned and walked away, returning to his seat, still lazily reclining. Liu Hongjing also returned to the first seat, stretched out his hand to stop the drum music in the field, pointed to the marriage on the spot, and gave the eldest prince Liuhuo as the king, and gave him the residence in Xicheng to respect the king's mansion. Duanmu Yunji's icy face turned cloudy to sunny, and she, Liuhuo, and Mayisha knelt down to thank her.

The banquet continued, more jubilant than before, after sitting for a while, seeing that the queen mother was tired, she got up and quietly passed, and the ninth princess Ling'er helped her to leave the banquet first, and after kneeling in Cining Palace, she returned to Cheng'en Hall with Xiaozhu and a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

Entering the palace, Xiaozhu dismissed everyone, leaving her and the prince alone in the palace.

"How is she?" Liufan looked at Xiao Zhu and asked in a low voice.

"I'm already with Master." Xiao Zhu listened vigilantly to the movement outside before answering in a low voice.

"What about poison? Is there a way for Master to detoxify her? ”

Xiao Zhu shook his head.

"No way?" Liufan's face suddenly became anxious. Master traveled from south to north and saw so much that even he couldn't help it, but it was difficult to find medicine.

"Now there is still an antidote on the eunuchs and palace maids who came from Tanglin, but I don't know who is in their hands." Kozuki said.

"I'll ask!" Ryufan rushed outside.

Xiao Zhu grabbed him and said, "Your Highness! It's good to let Xiaozhu ask, His Highness will attract attention if he asks. ”

"Okay, you go ask right away!" Ryu Fan stood still and said.

Xiao Zhu looked at him and smiled strangely, and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, there is still half a month before the full moon night, Xiao Zhu will quietly go over tomorrow and ask, now the eyes of the big prince outside are staring, I have been absent for the past two days, she seems to have found out, and a lot of things have happened along the way in the past two days, I will tell you first." ”

Liufan had no choice but to retreat to the inner hall and lie on the bed under the service of Xiao Zhu, who told him in a very small voice what he had been doing on the road in the past few days while Xiao Zhu was wearing a wide robe for him.

"It turns out that the eldest brother's injury was stabbed by her, and he actually wanted to bully her, he really deserved it!" When Liu Fan heard that Liuhuo was stabbed by Luo Lianyi, he couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, at that time, I couldn't get out of it with worry-free." Xiao Zhu seemed afraid that Ryufan would reproach her for not protecting Ripple well, and explained with her head down.

Liufan glanced at her and didn't say anything, and a faint sense of loss filled Xiao Zhu's eyes. She used to be his closest person, but now she seemed to have to step aside.

"Your Highness, why don't you ask the emperor to marry Princess Nanxing to you tonight?" After a moment of silence, Xiao Zhu asked.

Lu Fan glanced at her in surprise and sneered: "Even you don't understand me?" ”

"This-" Xiao Zhu lowered her head in embarrassment, she didn't have to say the reason, she knew that he knew everything, but his willfulness really annoyed her. It is estimated that she is not the only one who is worried about this matter tonight, Prime Minister Yin and Master Taifu must also be sighing depressedly.

"Your Highness, rest in peace, it's not too early." Xiao Zhu covered him with a brocade quilt, tucked the corners of the quilt, and turned around and walked out.

When she walked through the moon cave door from the corridor, the palace maid who was watching her at the banquet stopped her and asked with a slight smile, "Sister Xiaozhu, I haven't seen you for a few days." ”

"No, I'm here every day." Xiao Zhu pretended to be surprised.

"Oh? Then why haven't I seen my sister in the past two days? The palace maid frowned.

Xiao Zhu sneered: "The palace is not allowed to enter and exit freely, could it be that I have wings and fly out?" It's because you didn't pay attention to me, I walked in every day, but I forgot to ask you to come here. ”

"You-" The palace maid was speechless by her, and gave her a blank look before getting out of the way.

Xiao Zhu went straight back to her residence, washed up and lay down to rest, but tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She is a dead girl, since the master arranged her by the prince's side, the prince has become her all, so many years, for his safety, for his status, she has witnessed the master, the prime minister and the master to his disgusting dedication, now his situation is like a cliff, and he is willful, and even alienated from her a lot, so that she has unspeakable sadness and melancholy.
