The girl in front of her, pretty, but not a vase; resourceful, but good-hearted; Such a woman is not the same as those vulgar fans outside. She met almost all the conditions for him to choose a concubine, except for one point, that is, her biological mother was low.

But it doesn't matter, as long as there is the big tree of the Xie family, he can not mind the problem of Xie Yan's late birth mother.

"Prince, don't, don't do this."

Xie Yanwan's face was flushed, his eyes were full of love and panic, and he shyly retreated from his embrace, and said softly: "Thanks to the prince's rescue today, Yanwan is grateful." ”

"Grateful? So how are you going to be grateful to Hongu? ”

Seeing her budding appearance, Shangguan Hanye only felt a movement in his heart, and couldn't help but approach her again and asked with a little smile.

"This ......"

Xie Yanwan's face became more and more red.

Seeing her like this, Shangguan Hanye couldn't bear to tease her, just gently held her hand and said in a low voice: "Wan'er, you trust this palace so much, this palace will definitely not let you down, and you will be blessed with good life in this life." ”

He thought that such a woman was worthy of being treated with his own heart.

Xie Yanwan bowed his head and was silent, but the root of his ear was suspiciously red, and Shangguan Hanye felt more satisfied in his heart.

He spoke for a while next to Xie Yanwan, and seeing that her expression was a little tired, he got up with pity and said, "You have a good rest, and this palace will come to see you another day." ”

It wasn't until Shangguan Hanye's back disappeared that Xie Yanwan put away the smile on his face and lay back on the bed with a calm expression.

There was pain everywhere in her body, but her thoughts were becoming clearer and clearer. She took a deep breath, frowning imperceptibly.

Today's matter, she could have asked Feng Qizhi for help, but she chose to go to the prince.

Because she knew that although Feng Qizhi could help her, it would also bring her endless risks.

He has made too many enemies, and he is extraordinarily casual, those people can't deal with Feng Qizhi, but it doesn't mean that he won't take his own little shrimp.

The cooperation with Feng Qizhi is tantamount to dancing on a steel knife.

Originally, according to Xie Yanwan's temperament, he liked this style of acting very much. But there is a life between Xiao Nian's mother and daughter and her, which is a sea of blood feud.

So Xie Yanwan can't gamble, and he doesn't dare to bet.

She can only win.

Behind Xiao Nian is the eldest princess, who is a real royal person, and for them, human life is like an ant.

If she wants to uproot Xiao Nian and them, she can only take the line of the queen and the prince.

Obviously, Shangguan Hanye took the bait.

The sky was gradually sinking, the wind and snow had arrived, and the snow particles danced with the wind, fluttering and beating on the screen window, as if singing a mournful song in a low voice.

Xie Yanwan looked at the charcoal basin burning on the ground, and after a long time, he slowly closed his eyes.

In the long future, she must cultivate her spirit in order to fight this tough battle.

......

Compared with Xie Yanwan's thoughtfulness, the atmosphere in the study was not too good.

Shangguan Hanye and Xie Xiaoyao sat opposite each other, and the lights in the room flickered on and off, stretching the figures of the two people extremely long.

After a while, Shangguan Hanye opened his mouth.

Just one sentence made Xie Xiaoyao stunned in place.

"This palace wants to marry Xie Yanwan and be the crown princess."

The expression on Shangguan Hanye's face was extremely solemn, Xie Xiaoyao was stunned at first, and then ecstatic, but he still maintained a calm expression on his face, and said in a low voice: "Prince, is this inappropriate?" She ...... late."

He originally thought that Shangguan Hanye could give Xie Yanwan the identity of a good lady, but he didn't want to, he actually wanted to make Xie Yanwan a concubine!

Wives and concubines have not been the same since ancient times, and there is a world of difference among the royal family. If the crown prince really marries Xie Yanwan as a concubine, then when the prince ascends the throne, he will be the rightful ruler!

This daughter has brought him a really good return, and it is not in vain that he is in the palace to defend her like this today.

Shangguan Hanye didn't know what he was thinking, and when he saw that he was opposed, he immediately waved his hand and said: "This palace has made up its mind, and after returning to the palace this time, I will go to discuss this matter with my father and queen mother, and this matter is settled." ”

Hearing this, the frenzy and joy in Xie Xiaoyao's eyes were even worse, but his mouth was still tentative: "Prince, have you really decided?" ”

"Well, that's it."

Seeing Shangguan Hanye's resoluteness, Xie Xiaoyao suddenly bowed his hand and said, "The old minister obeys the order." ”

Shangguan Hanye nodded, and said, "Before you pass the door at night, her safety will be handed over to you, Lord Shangshu." ”

Today's matter, Xie Xiaoyao is also angry in his heart, he secretly remembered Xiao Nian in his heart, and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the old minister will do his best." ”

"That's good." Shangguan Hanye nodded slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he saw a knock outside the door.

Then, Xie Lin's voice sounded: "Master, report urgently." ”

Xie Xiaoyao glanced at Shangguan Hanye and said in a deep voice, "Come in." ”

When his words fell, he saw Xie Lin walk in with a stern expression, and said, "Master, Lord Qin from the patrol camp is here." ”

"Let him in."

Qin Fang walked in with a mixture of wind and snow, and there was a chill on the armor, and his voice was a little cold: "Weichen asked the prince to say goodbye, I have seen Lord Xie." ”

"Get up. What are you visiting at this time? ”

Seeing that Xie Xiaoyao did not shy away from the prince at all, Qin Fang replied with a calm face: "The group of people who disappeared in the patrol battalion have been found. ”

Hearing this, Xie Xiaoyao's expression changed, and he asked eagerly, "Where did you find it, and how are the people now?" ”

It's just that as soon as he said this, Qin Fang refused to answer, but said, "My lord, please go and see it for yourself." ”

The sky was completely dark, and the snowflakes fell from the sky like tears, covering the sky and the earth with a layer of silver white.

Only one place.

On the corner of the secluded street, there were more than a dozen pieces of armor scattered together, and next to the armor, there was a lump of flesh-colored things, which could not be seen clearly in the middle of the night.

It's just that in the air, there is a strong smell of decay.

Before Shangguan Hanye could see it clearly, he saw Xie Xiaoyao's face change greatly, and then blocked his sight: "Prince, this place is filthy, it's better not to look at it." Gather them all up! ”

Seeing that his expression was grim and there was a faint sweat on his forehead, Shangguan Hanye's heart sank, and he asked in a low voice, "What is this?" ”

Xie Xiaoyao didn't know how to answer his question for a while, he opened his mouth, and saw the soldiers carrying stretchers walking towards the side, he suddenly couldn't help it, retched, and vomited to the side.

Seeing this, Shangguan Hanye had an ominous premonition in his heart, and his voice also brought out a bit of fear: "Could it be that this is the lost group of people?" ”

He guessed right.

The day before yesterday, the patrol battalion had lost a team of people, and Xie Xiaoyao dispatched almost the entire patrol battalion at that time, but in the end he found nothing.

No, these people actually appeared on a secluded street corner tonight.

To be exact, they can no longer be called human.

Peeling skin cramps, separation of flesh and bones. These can only be called at best – carrion.

"Feng Qi stop this gelding!"

After Xie Xiaoyao finished spitting, he took the handkerchief handed over by his subordinates, wiped his mouth, and pronounced his name with a grim expression.

This scene made his scalp tingle, but it made him hate it even more. This is the elite he drew from the patrol battalion, a full twenty people, just like that, they were killed by Fengqi!

However, at this time, Xie Xiaoyao forgot that this incident was originally caused by him, and the people who patrolled the battalion also died because of him.

Compared with Xie Xiaoyao's coldness, Shangguan Hanye's eyes were a little more timid.

In the past, he always heard people say how Feng Qizhi couldn't afford to offend, but after he really saw it tonight, he realized that it was not a person at all!

Although he is the crown prince, he has been extremely well protected by the queen since he was a child, and he has never seen such a scene at all. It was okay when he didn't react before, but when he realized what those things were, his face instantly turned bloody.

After a while, he asked softly, "Lord Xie, if this palace wants to stop now, is it too late?" ”

Feng Qi stopped that person, he really hated to get rid of it quickly. However, if you get rid of him, you will put yourself in danger, then Shangguan Hanye will definitely not do it!

Hearing this, Xie Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly flashed with contempt, this prince seemed to be a little cowardly.

It's just that his emotions were quickly restrained by himself, and the next moment, Xie Xiaoyao raised his hand and said, "Prince, this is not the place to speak, let's go elsewhere." ”

He invited Shangguan Hanye to the patrol camp, and only after there was no one around did he speak: "Your Highness, if you want to stop now, it's too late." Not to mention that we instigated Wu Hai to poison Feng Qizhi and then sent a message to the Red Lotus Sect, just saying that this patrol battalion jointly encircled and suppressed him failed, then Feng Qizhi would not let us go. As you can see tonight, if we want to survive, the only way is to get rid of this gelding. Otherwise, His Highness and the old ministers will never have peace. ”

And the most important point, Xie Xiaoyao did not say.

He is now the secretary of the Ministry of War, and on the surface he seems to be an official residence, and his power in the DPRK and China is monstrous. But in fact, now the power of both the red and the palm print is in the hands of Feng Qizhi, if he wants to go one step closer, he can only get rid of Feng Qizhi.

Only in this way can he grasp more power in the court.

Shangguan Hanye's cowardice was only for a moment, and he knew that this idea was too naïve when he said it, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope.

Now after hearing Xie Xiaoyao's words, he suddenly remembered Feng Qizhi's perverse and ruthless appearance on weekdays. As the prince of a country and the prince of a dignified prince, he has to grovel to a eunuch and call him the emperor's uncle, which is simply a great shame, if he wants to hold his head high, Fengqi must be removed!

"Since there is no way out, then we will rush forward desperately! This palace doesn't believe it, and he can't fight him as a gelding! ”

Shangguan Hanye gritted his teeth when he said this.
