Chapter 96: Layout

After Su Yichen went down to the court, he would generally discuss with the minister in the upper study, and he would return to the palace after about two hours. Bai Lilan calculated the time and appeared in front of him just in time for Shu Yichen to return to the palace.

"You're in a hurry." Looking at Baili Lan, Shu Yichen said angrily.

"Why does the prince look a little unhappy?" Bai Lilan tilted her head slightly, looked at Shu Yichen and said, "You should be happy to be able to help you get rid of one of your biggest competitors, instead of looking half-dead now!" Is it that you don't know how to be satisfied, or are you already happy and stupid? ”

"When did this king say that you need to do this?" Shu Yichen looked at Bai Lilan coldly, feeling that her bright smile was unusually dazzling.

"How can I not be concerned, has the prince forgotten my agreement with you? Now that I'm almost done, I'll give you a great gift in no time! I hope the prince will laugh at it. ”

Shu Yichen naturally knew what Baililan's so-called "big gift" was, but he would rather not. As long as he becomes the crown prince, Baili Lan will definitely leave the palace without any nostalgia, and he will have nothing to do with him from now on. At the thought of this, his heart throbbed unably.

"Baili Lan," looking at Bai Lilan deeply, Shu Yichen asked slowly, "If this king regrets it, will you agree to tear up this contract?" ”

"Impossible!" Bai Lilan said without thinking, "I have worked so hard to get to where I am today, how can I give up because of your words?" Su Yichen, I know you like me, but some likes are good in your heart, say it, you can't afford it! ”

Su Yichen used all his strength to stabilize his almost crazy emotions. He took a fancy to Bai Lilan, whose eyes were clear, and his voice returned to cold, "Bai Lilan, you trample on the true heart of this king so much, sooner or later you will regret it!" ”

"There may be many things I regret, but this is the only one I have ever made the right choice!" Not to be outdone, Bai Lilan glared back, and said that she didn't care, which made Su Yichen even more angry.

"You came today, didn't you just come to be angry with me!" Shu Yichen turned around impatiently and entered the front hall, and said as he walked, "I'm very busy at the end, let's talk about things quickly, I don't have so much time to spend with you!" Although the words were ruthless, Shu Yichen had been observing Baili Lan to see if he could keep up with his pace, sometimes faster, sometimes slower.

"Since the prince has a lot of opportunities, then I will make a long story short. You ascended to the crown prince, and now there are only two obstacles left. Although the original crown prince is still deposed, the emperor has a deep affection for the late queen, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be soft-minded that day and restore his position as the crown prince. The second is the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince is young, but she has a very powerful mother and maternal grandfather, and in time, it will definitely be a big problem for you. With these two people, your road to the crown prince will definitely not be smooth. But since I told you that I would help you ascend to the throne of the crown prince, I would clear the way for you. ”

"Hmph, you said it big enough, could it be that you want to drive those two people out of the capital like Bai Xuan'er did in calculations? Bai Xuan'er is stupid, so she will be calculated by you, but you won't be so lucky every time. So, put away your little cleverness and be your princess obediently! ”

Ignoring Shu Yichen's sarcasm, Bai Lilan clasped her hands around her chest, looked far away, and didn't take Shu Yichen's words to heart, and ordered, "I have already investigated, Shu Yicheng was grounded in the Prince's Palace, but he is still restless, and often has trysts with women outside the palace. Don't you think this is a good opportunity, if the emperor knows, he will definitely be extremely disappointed in the crown prince. If the woman who had an affair with the prince was a woman in the harem, I am afraid that the emperor would not just be angry. I thought about it behind closed doors restlessly, but instead of paying attention to the old woman, I think even if the emperor loves the prince, I'm afraid he won't be able to tolerate him! ”

"Baililan, are you still a woman?" Shu Yichen turned around and looked at Bai Lilan, with deep doubts in his eyebrows, "A woman, can say such a shameful thing so naturally?" Don't you feel embarrassed? ”

"I'm just talking, and you feel ashamed, so doesn't the prince want to kill himself to thank the world? The prince seems to have asked the wrong person. Besides, now is not the time to discuss this issue. The opportunity is fleeting, you can't grasp it, but there are people waiting in the back. ”

"Baili Lan, I warn you, don't talk to me in such a tone!"

Facing Su Yichen's inexplicable anger, Bai Lilan sneered and said expressionlessly, "Su Yichen, don't put the prince in front of me, if it weren't for that marriage book, I wouldn't even look at you!" What can your arrogance bring? The crown prince? Hmph, what a joke, I'm afraid you've been thrown down before you finish daydreaming! If you can continue to cooperate, you can arrange a reliable person by Concubine Jin's side for me to contact. If you can't, then the bridge will return to the bridge, the road will return to the road, and we will never see each other again in the future, and we will have nothing to do with each other! After finishing speaking, Bai Lilan no longer paid attention to Su Yichen, turned around and dragged the long skirt, and left arbitrarily.

Looking at Baili Lan's dashing back, Shu Yichen casually swept the porcelain beside him all over the ground, and his chest continued to rise and fall because of anger.

***

Although the conversation with Baili Lan broke up unhappily, Shu Yichen still arranged a maid named Zhen'er in Concubine Jin to send messages back and forth.

After receiving the news from Zhen'er from the palace, Baili Lan lightly displayed a smile, and then handed the letterhead to the spring breeze, approached the tongue of fire, and devoured it little by little.

"But there's good news from the palace?" Seeing Baili Lan smiling, Chun Feng couldn't help asking.

"It's not good news, but it's just what I expected. I'm just curious, this man is really awkward, since he agreed to bury the secret line in the palace, why did he say something to refute that day, it's really a contradiction. ”

"The county lord is really puzzled, and the prince obviously wants to hear more of your moving voice." Xia Yu put a plate of decorated fruit on the table, revealing two small dimples, and said with a smile, "If you meet our county lord, it is also considered the prince's bad luck, and the women in this world will be dressed as birds, but our county lord is the only one who is tough." ”

"What is tough, the county lord is obviously independent!" Qiushuang glared at Xia Yu and said.

"Okay, go get down to business, and don't fight over this little thing." Baili Lan lazily ate the fruit and ordered, "The dark line has begun to be laid out in the palace, but her strength is too weak, and I still need someone to help." ”

"Help? Who does the county lord need to help? ”

Wiping the corners of her mouth with the handkerchief handed over by the spring breeze, Baili Lan said casually, "Concubine Jin." ”

"Concubine Jin?" Xia Yu's eyes widened, and he said strangely, "The dark line is buried next to Concubine Jin, why do you want Concubine Jin to help, isn't it too much?" ”

"No, the dark line is in the layout, and Concubine Jin needs to start this game, her role is great, and it must be Concubine Jin!"

"So what do we need to do?"

After pondering for a moment, Baili Lan said, "Go to Qiufu and tell your son Lord Yao to enter the palace with her tomorrow to meet the Queen Mother." Didn't she develop some gadgets newly, and just gave them to the Queen Mother to make her happy. ”

Hearing this, Dongxue was a little embarrassed, hesitated, and then said, "The county lord doesn't know, since the last accident, Qiu Shichang rarely let people get close to the county lord of Ziyao, not even the people of our Chen Palace. ”

"That Qiu Shichang is really a cup bow snake shadow!" Bai Lilan frowned, and then said impatiently, "In that case, then I will personally go to the Qiu Mansion tomorrow, and when I get the Lord of Ziyao, I will enter the palace directly!" ”

***

Qiu Ziyao was bored picking up flower branches in the mansion, and happened to hear a report from the next person, saying that Princess Chen had come to visit her.

"The county lord is here? That's great! Qiu Ziyao happily jumped out of her chair and rushed towards the front hall. It's just that when I passed by the garden, I met Qiu Shichang who rushed to hear the news.

Seeing Qiu Shichang, Qiu Ziyao could not stop his steps, his little face also collapsed, and he called timidly, "Brother." ”

"So happy, where are you going?"

"I ...... It's the county lord who is here, and I'm going to say hello to the county lord. ”

"Just say hello?"

Qiu Ziyao bit her lip and lowered her head slightly.

Qiu Shichang looked at his sister with unwavering eyes, and said earnestly, "Remember what I told you last time, your identities are different, and you can't do anything out of the ordinary." Remember? ”

Qiu Ziyao nodded obediently and replied, "Yes, remember." ”

"Remember, let's go. Since the county lord is visiting, he can't make the family wait for a long time. ”

With Qiu Shichang's permission, Qiu Ziyao smiled again and ran happily to the front hall. And Qiu Shichang, who was behind her, looked at Qiu Ziyao with envy, envying her for being able to greet that woman so brilliantly, while she could only hide in the corner forbearantly, for fear that as soon as she saw her face, all the lines of defense would collapse and collapse. Now is not the time to stand beside her, you have to endure it, you must endure it!

Under the shadows, Qiu Shichang clenched his fists and looked into the distance in confusion.

***

"County Lord!"

Before the person arrived, Qiu Ziyao's crisp voice came into Baili Lan's ears, making her smile lightly, turned around and said, "I'm happy like a little swallow all day long, it's really enviable." ”

"What does the county lord envy, swallow? Ziyao is not envious, how can Yanzi often see the county lord! Happily snuggling up to Baili Lan, Zi Yao showed her white millet teeth.

Tapping her delicate nose, Baili Lan smiled, "After the New Year, you will be eight years old." Eight years old is a big girl, but she can't be so crazy. When it's okay, you should let Mama Su and them teach some etiquette, you see that Princess Chang'an has a lot of manners. ”

Hearing this, Qiu Ziyao wrinkled her nose and said, "If the county lord uses someone else to teach Ziyao, it's just a matter of using Princess Chang'an!" I've seen Princess Chang'an's crazy behavior, it's absolutely breathtaking! The county lord gave the wrong example! ”

Qiu Ziyao's children's words caused everyone to laugh for a while, and they felt that only such a big child did not compliment what he said, but just from the bottom of his heart.

"If Princess Chang'an hears you say this about her, she will definitely be angry with you." Chunfeng bent down, looked at Qiu Ziyao and said, "But after a while, our county lord is going to enter the palace to ask the queen mother for peace, if you accidentally mention such a sentence when you see Princess Chang'an, I'm afraid Princess Chang'an won't pay attention to you in the future!" ”
