"Lord Wang?" Xiao Yan exclaimed, hurriedly turned around, raised his hand and patted the door tightly and closed the door, the blood on his face disappeared, looking shocked and frightened.

Is the prince going to keep him in custody and imprison?

Just when Xiao Yan was panicking, a majestic voice sounded, "What are you panicking about!" ”

Hearing the sound, Xiao Yan turned his head, only to find that his father, Zhong Yong Xiao Qi, was sitting on a high chair in a brown regular clothes, looking at him with a solemn face and dissatisfaction, and next to him, his mother was also sitting on the high chair, her face sinking like water.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan hurriedly gathered his thoughts, raised his feet and stepped forward to salute the two, "Father, mother." ”

No, Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the high chair, saw Xiao Yan saluting, but he just snorted coldly, and then coldly looked away.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan flashed a trace of embarrassment on his face, so he had to sneer, "I don't know what this girl Wei'er did to anger the prince, hey!" At the end of the sentence, he sighed heavily.

"How do you know that Wei'er has angered the prince?" Xiao Qi's white beard shook, and he glared at Xiao Yan with slanted eyes.

What is in his son's mind, how can he, the father, not know.

"Father......" Seeing his father with a cold nose and eyes towards him, Xiao Yan's heart became more and more uncomfortable.

Isn't that obvious? Could it be that at this time, my father still has to favor that girl.

"And what are you going to do?" Xiao Qi ignored Xiao Yan's words, but raised his eyebrows and asked.

Xiao Yan twisted his eyebrows, his expression suddenly became solemn, he cautiously looked at Xiao Qi's expression, and said, "Father, although the crown prince has imprisoned us at the moment, he has not yet intended to deal with us further. According to my son, at the moment, the most important thing for us is to find a way to contact Wei'er to see what she has done? Maybe there is a misunderstanding in this, but not necessarily? You said it? ”

No, Xiao Qi heard Xiao Yan's words, sneered, picked up the teacup on the table and raised his hand to smash it towards Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan didn't expect his father to be so angry because of his words, and he didn't expect him to make such a move, and he couldn't avoid being smashed by the teacup for a while, and the hot tea soaked his clothes at once, he raised his head in a panic, but saw Xiao Qi's face full of anger, a pair of eyes were round, and he looked like he couldn't wait to eat himself, and he didn't care that his clothes were wet at the moment, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"You're good at it? I ask you, have you ever thought about doing this? Xiao Qi said angrily.

"Now it's clear that she hasn't thought about me as a father! Otherwise, how could there be today! Xiao Yan couldn't help but distinguish for himself.

"Evil Barrier!" Seeing that Xiao Yan still dared to talk back to himself, Xiao Qi became angry, he looked around, picked up a blue and white porcelain ornament on the shelf, and raised his hand to smash it on Xiao Yan's body.

"Master Hou, don't do this!" The old lady hurriedly stepped forward to take Xiao Qi's hand, and persuaded with an anxious face, "The most important thing at the moment, we still have to think of ideas, we can't wait here!" ”

In fact, not only Xiao Yan, but the old lady still blamed Xiao Xiwei a little bit in his heart. The prince was so annoyed and angry, most likely because he didn't find her, since she could escape from the prince's surveillance first, why didn't she plan for them? Could it be that in her mind, they were just inconsequential people?

Xiao Qi glanced at the old lady, and finally sighed, and withdrew his hand quite helplessly.

They only blamed Wei'er for not informing them in advance, and how could they have thought about Wei'er's situation now, his majesty's mind is deep and unpredictable, and it is much safer for Zhongyong Houfu to know nothing than to know everything.

Seeing Xiao Qi sighing, the old lady couldn't help but feel a little flustered, and hurriedly said, "Master Hou, it's really not good, why don't we think of a way to enter the palace to meet the saint, what do you think?" ”

After all, Hou Ye was also a lifesaver to the saint back then, and at this point, the saint might be able to open up.

No, Xiao Qi only took the old lady's words, but just smiled bitterly and shook his head, and sat back down, "Do you think that anyone can see the Holy One now?" ”

Since he returned to Beijing, although he has only lived in a simple house in Houfu and rarely set foot outside, he has more or less guessed something based on the prince's current behavior. Now, I'm afraid that except for the crown prince, the people around me want to see the holy car, but I'm afraid it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky!

"Father, what should we do?" Hearing Xiao Qi say this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but panic and said hurriedly.

"Let's wait and see what happens." Xiao Qi lowered his eyes and spit out four words in silence.

Wait and see? Isn't this waiting for death? Xiao Yan felt a little unwilling, and was about to say something more, when a voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Xiang-sama."

"Open the door."

"Yes."

The originally closed mahogany lacquer door was pushed open from the outside, and the bright light from outside poured in, Xiao Yan closed his eyes a little uncomfortably, but, before he could get used to the light, the mahogany lacquer door was brought up again, but this time, there was one more person in the room.

"Xiang-sama." As soon as he saw the person who came, Xiao Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly greeted him and waved his hand.

In the past six months, this Lord Xiang Mingxuan Xiang can be described as a new upstart in the court, not only has he won the favor of the saints, but even the new crown prince Chu Yanzhi has also favored him.

Xiang Mingxuan smiled faintly, raised his feet and walked in front of Zhongyong Hou Xiao Qi, saluted him, and said, "Xia Guan has seen Hou Ye." ”

Xiao Qi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xiang Mingxuan, at this time, it was not the prince's person who could enter and leave the Zhongyong Waiting Mansion but also the prince's person, but I didn't know what kind of medicine this Lord Xiang was selling in the gourd when he came here today? Although he was so stunned in his heart, he nodded at him.

Xiang Mingxuan smiled again, and then saluted Lao Taijun and Xiao Yan respectively, "Old Taijun, Lord Xiao." ”

"Don't be polite, what is the matter with your coming to the house today?" Xiao Yan hurriedly reached out to hold Xiang Mingxuan's hand, with a hint of urgency in his tone.

Seeing Xiao Yan behaving like this, Xiao Qi frowned a little unhappily, but after all, he didn't say anything.

He also wanted to know what the purpose of this new favorite prince of the new upstart in the DPRK and China was here.

"Lord Xiao, Xia Guan came here today on the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, I have a few words to ask Lord Xiao, I don't know if Lord Xiao is convenient?" Xiang Mingxuan looked at Xiao Yandao with a smile.

For some reason, Xiang Mingxuan smiled kindly, but in Xiao Yan's eyes, he felt shocked.

Is it true that the prince is angry with Zhongyong Houfu because of Xiwei's girl?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan pursed the corners of his dry mouth and said busily, "Lord Xiang, no matter what the little girl does, it has nothing to do with us, we don't know, and please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to know it!" ”

As if he didn't expect Xiao Yan to clear up his relationship with Xiao Xiwei so quickly, Xiang Mingxuan's eyes suddenly crossed a trace of astonishment, but soon disappeared in his eyes, he smiled again and said to Xiao Yan, "Lord Xiao, I wonder if Second Miss Xiao has been in contact with anyone in the mansion?" ”

Now the people in the capital have more or less guessed the prince's thoughts about Xiao Xiwei, so that half of the people in Tai have long since stopped calling Xiao Xiwei Princess Yan, but called her Miss Xiao Er.

"Nope. Today, we were also caught off guard! This rebel girl, if she really angers His Royal Highness the Prince, please say a few kind words to your lord in front of His Royal Highness the Prince. Xiao Yan said busily.

As soon as his words fell, before Xiang Mingxuan could respond, he heard the sound of a teacup falling to the ground on the table.

Following the sound, Xiang Mingxuan turned his head to look over, only a blue and white teacup on the table fell to the ground, and the pale yellow tea trail meandered down the corner of the table, and next to the teacup was a bony hand.

Loyal and brave to wait for Xiao Qi.

Xiao Yan saw the teacup that fell on the table, looked down at the tea stains on his body that had not yet dried, and pursed the corners of his mouth, although he had a stomach, he didn't dare to say anything more.

"People are old, and their hands and feet are no longer good, so I can see that Lord Xiang is smiling." Xiao Qi withdrew his hand, and looked at Xiang Mingxuan with a smile on his weathered face.

"Hou Ye is serious." Xiang Mingxuan smiled faintly, then raised his hand and saluted Xiao Qi, and then continued, "Master Hou, I don't know if I can take a step to speak." ”

Xiao Qimi's eyes were closed, and his burning gaze stared at Xiang Mingxuan for a long time.

Xiang Mingxuan didn't do anything, but Xiao Yan's forehead on the side was oozing a faint cold sweat, and he carefully looked at his father's expression, for fear that he would give the prince a new favorite at this time. After waiting for a while, Xiao Yan still didn't see his father respond, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at his mother.

The old lady is not like Xiao Qi, she is an iron-clad general, she is just a woman in the back house, and she doesn't pay attention to the affairs of the court, besides, at the moment, it is a matter of the entire loyal and brave Houfu, and she can't be allowed not to speak, so, under Xiao Yan's eager gaze, she finally couldn't help but speak, "Lord Hou......"

At present, the Zhongyong Houfu is in turmoil, although he is not afraid, but he is worried about Xiyang and Xiwei outside. Since the crown prince sent Xiang Mingxuan here to test him, he might as well think of trying to find out some news about Xiyang and Xiwei from his mouth.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qi finally stood up, raised his hand and made a gesture towards Ming Xuan, and said, "Lord Xiang, please come here." ”

Xiang Mingxuan smiled slightly, "Wait for the master, please." ”

Xiao Qi nodded, and then walked towards the inner hall, followed by Xiang Mingxuan.

Seeing the figures of the two disappearing, Xiao Yan couldn't help but say anxiously to the old lady while pacing, "I don't know what this Xiang Xiang wants to say to my father?" ”

The old lady raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Yan, and said with a calm face, "No matter what he wants to say or what purpose he is here, what's the use of you being so impetuous?" ”

"Mother's ......"

"YOU HAVE ALSO BEEN IMMERSED IN OFFICIALDOM FOR SO MANY YEARS, DON'T YOU EVEN HAVE THIS CONCENTRATION!" The old lady frowned displeasedly.

Just his performance, not to mention that Hou Ye looked down on him, even she, a mother, really felt disgraced.

was reprimanded by the old lady like this, Xiao Yan's face couldn't help but be a little unbearable, so he had to respond in a sneering manner, "What my mother taught me is that my son knows." ”

Seeing Xiao Yan admit his mistake, the old lady's face softened slightly, "Don't worry, the prince is just surrounding the Zhongyong Houfu now, and there is no other action, presumably, he also has some concerns." Not to mention, Yang'er has tens of thousands of troops in Wucheng in his hands. ”

Hearing the old lady say this, Xiao Yan's heart that she had been carrying was relieved, "It's still my mother's thoughtfulness." ”
