When eating in the evening, Xiao Haotian went out and came back, Ling Dongwu ate dinner alone in the room, lying on the bed bored, and Mu Zicheng's shadow unexpectedly resurfaced in his mind,

No, she has to find something to do, she can't let herself be immersed in sadness, she can't let herself blindly live in the past, she can't become a slug who pities herself and loves to be sympathized, in that way, Mu Zicheng will be uneasy when she sees herself in heaven,

Looking at the group of maids standing in the house, Ling Dongwu rolled his eyes and said, "You all go back to the house and change your skirts into pants for me, in short, the more convenient the better,"

Although the maids didn't know Ling Dongwu's intentions, they didn't dare to disobey her orders, and after a while, they all changed into narrow-waisted trousers, and even Shui Youyou changed into a set of clothes and trousers.

Ling Dongwu led everyone to the courtyard, there was still the last wisp of sunset left in the sky, like ripples on the water surface, scattered in pieces, she asked for everyone's opinions very democratically, "Do you like hide and seek, or do you like tug-of-war?"

The maids didn't expect that Ling Dongwu wanted them to change their clothes in order to play games, and they didn't dare to express their opinions casually, Shui Youyou got along with Ling Dongwu these days, and knew that she was naturally easy-going and generous, so she opened her mouth to reply for everyone: "Girl, we are all girls here, don't tug of war, let's play hide and seek,"

"Okay, then let's play hide and seek," Ling Dongwu is very good at being good,

Xiao Haotian was very depressed because he was stimulated by Ling Dongwu's words in the morning, he wanted to accompany Ling Dongwu at home for two more days, and then go to court, but when he saw Ling Dongwu's appearance, that kind of tone, he instantly felt infinitely irritable, and he couldn't stay at home anymore, so he simply entered the palace to face the saint,

Xuan Ran Shouxu since he seized Xiao Haotian's military power, he only felt that a big stone blocked in his heart had been removed, it was very comfortable, he knew that Xiao Haotian's status in the Northern Desert was deep-rooted, and in the hearts of the soldiers, he admired Xiao Haotian as a god, he seized Xiao Haotian's military power this time, and there was already some public sentiment below, so he couldn't move Xiao Haotian for the time being, fortunately, now Xiao Haotian's military power has been taken away, Xiao Hongtu is dead again, Xuan Ran Shouxu's heart is finally more steady,

When Xiao Haotian entered the palace, the emperor had already retired from the early dynasty and returned to the Qinzheng Palace, which was routinely used to summon close princes and ministers, which was commonly known as the "Inner Dynasty", and the little eunuch guarding outside the palace saw that Xiao Haotian was coming, and hurriedly greeted him: "The king of Zhennan is back, the emperor is still talking to you these days, Lord Hepu is talking to the emperor inside,"

Xiao Haotian nodded, after the little eunuch went in to report, Xiao Haotian walked into the Qinzheng Palace, the Qinzheng Hall was covered with sheep felt, and stepped on it quietly, only to see Xuan Ran Shouxu sitting in the center, looking relaxed and happy,

Seeing Xiao Haotian coming in, Xuan Ran Shouxu smiled and said, "Haotian, I dreamed of you the night before, but I didn't expect you to come today,"

Xiao Haotian has a noble status, and he is courteous, and he doesn't kneel when he sees the emperor, but just smiles slightly: "The minister came to ask the emperor for peace,"

Xuan Ran Shouxu said with a smile: "Haotian, do you come back this time to stay for a few days and return to Jingshan, or don't go to Jingshan, according to my meaning, you just stay, you are not by my side, I really feel that there is no one to rely on, many things are not shared, and I am very tired," Xuan Ran Shouxu knew that Xiao Haotian had just reached filial piety, and now that he had lost his military power, he would definitely continue to live on Jingshan in frustration.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Haotian said: "The emperor is sage," and then continued to look at Xuan Ran Shouxu with a smile: "The minister is a courtier, and he should share his worries for my emperor, how can he bear to see the emperor work hard, so he won't leave when he comes back this time, stay and listen to the emperor's orders at any time,"

Xuan Ran Shouxu didn't expect Xiao Haotian to say this, his face was slightly stunned, but then he smiled a little unnaturally: "Okay, good, as soon as Haotian comes back, I will be much more relaxed, I really have a lot of things to ask Haotian's opinion on the government,"

Xiao Haotian said with a smile: "The emperor is benevolent, wise and wise, and skillful in bows and horses, where can I use Haotian to express any opinions, the emperor, the minister hasn't seen his sister for a while, Yingyue Niangniang, can you go and see her,"

"Of course," Xuan Ran Shouxu frowned slightly, sighed and said: "Yingyue has been depressed and depressed since your father passed away, and she lost her temper with me some time ago, and in recent days she has been clamoring to go to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to worship the Buddha, hey, you came back just in time, you go and persuade her for me first, and tonight I will hold a banquet for you in Yanqing Hall to wash the dust,"

Xiao Haotian heard that Xiao Yingyue was going to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, and his eyes couldn't help flashing, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple was originally a place for the concubines in the palace to eat fasting and recite Buddhas.

He replied casually: "Yes," walked out of the Qinzheng Hall and went to see Xiao Yingyue,

Northern Desert Laurel Palace,

The regulations of the palace in this area are very magnificent, only to see a heavy golden wall, glazed gold tiles, at this time there is silence all around, only the wind blows the laurel branches and leaves to gargle sound, and the officials stand with their hands down,

Xiao Haotian walked in along the steps, there were four internal officials on duty at the Hanging Flower Gate, and when he saw him come out, he bowed and saluted, but he waved his hand to stop, Xiao Yingyue has always been happy and quiet, and there are carpets several inches thick all over the room,

Someone had already passed the news to Xiao Yingyue that Xiao Haotian had come to see her, Xiao Yingyue hurried out with sour and joy in her heart, and her sleeves were also blown up by the wind, like a colorful butterfly spreading its huge and gorgeous wings.

"Brother, you're back," Xiao Yingyue was like a lost child who suddenly found her parents, and she threw herself into Xiao Haotian's arms with surprise and grievance, tears wet and long eyelashes,

"Okay, sister, aren't I coming back," Xiao Haotian gently patted Xiao Yingyue's back, sighing silently, since his father's death, Yingyue's life has become more sad, he has seen that Xiao Yingyue doesn't love Xuanran Shouxu at all, Xuanran Shouxu has seized his own military power, and completely climbed Xiao Yingyue's disgust with him to the top,

Most of the maids around Xiao Yingyue, the internal officials are Xiao Haotian's people, this is in the light, and there is a dark person in the dark to protect Xiao Yingyue's safety, this dark man is called Lan Hai, he grew up in Xiao Wang's Mansion since he was a child, with long red lips and jade face, tall figure, sharp wit, outstanding martial arts, and never under the dark king of the dark machine gate, the reason why Xiao Haotian sent him to protect Xiao Yingyue is only because there are many ears and eyes in the palace, and there are countless rights and wrongs, and the blue ocean is outstanding in martial arts and brains.

It turns out that Xiao Haotian's vision is accurate, Xiao Yingyue has been in the palace for so many years, under the proper protection of Lan Hai, nothing has happened, even if the concubines are fighting openly and secretly, no one has ever been able to hurt Xiao Yingyue, including Xuan Ran Shouxu, and Lan Hai has relied on his superb skills to report Xiao Yingyue's situation to Xiao Haotian at any time.

Recently, through Lan Hai's report, Xiao Haotian learned that the emperor had not been here for almost half a year, the reason was that since Xiao Hongtu's death, Xiao Yingyue was first sick, and then she was depressed.

Xuan Ran Shouxu is the king of a country, the most important thing is women, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, Huan Fat Yan is thin and charming, what kind of don't you want, why does he have to hang himself on a small willow tree, even if Xiao Yingyue is beautiful and fragrant, but after all, she refuses to be coquettish, and she has been in the palace for many years, and now the little girls who are selected to enter the palace are more tender than the other, and the little face seems to be able to pinch out the water, and she knows how to coax Xuan Ran Shouxu, so Xuan Ran Shouxu put Xiao Yingyue down,

"Brother, why did you come back, I am alone in this deep palace, I really miss you," Xiao Yingyue was helped by Xiao Haotian to sit on the chair, sobbing and said,

Xiao Haotian swept with his eyes, a room of palace maids and officials instantly retreated silently, Xiao Haotian sat in front of Xiao Yingyue, lowered his voice and said: "Brother knows your difficulties, don't worry, brother will definitely save you from this dark place, but this kind of thing can't be rushed, you can only take it step by step, you see, now he doesn't care too much about you, next step brother will cooperate with you, let you go to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to worship the Buddha first, and then my brother is trying to find a way to let you leave,"

"Okay," Xiao Yingyue laughed happily, "I know that brother, you have the best way,"

"Hey, I'm busy this time, and I really can't take care of you, but don't worry, Blue Ocean will arrange everything properly to protect your safety,"

"Why don't you care about me, can he do it in the blue ocean," Xiao Yingyue heard that her brother had more important things than herself, and she was a little jealous.

"Of course, my brother has something big to do, and now in this situation, I don't want to move, and I can't do it,"

Of course, Xiao Yingyue understood Xiao Haotian's intentions, gasped, and said in a low voice: "Brother, now that Daddy is gone, who can help you, such a big thing, one careless will ......"

Xiao Haotian frowned slightly, and immediately smiled again, "Sister, you don't have to worry, my brother has his own arrangements, and now my brother is only worried about your safety, so don't be willful, everything is arranged by the blue sea, okay?"

“…… Blue Ocean,," Xiao Yingyue had in her mind the figure with an alert and wise face like a crown of jade, this person had really followed her like a shadow for more than ten years, or even longer......

"Lan Hai has been with you for so many years, you still don't know him, he can pay any price for you, including life, Yingyue, there are some things you have to know and cherish," Xiao Haotian is smart, of course he knows Xiao Yingyue's infatuation with himself over the years, and he also knows Lan Hai's infatuation with Xiao Yingyue,

Lan Hai has no close friends and no himself over the years, and he has just a protective heart for Xiao Yingyue, Xiao Haotian knows that Xiao Yingyue is the goddess admired by Lan Hai in his heart, and Lan Hai does not dare to have a blasphemous heart, I just hope that I can serve by her side in this life and this life, and I will be content to protect her.
