"At the moment, the matter is not decided, Lord Lu, please be cautious." Xiao Xi looked at Lu Haichuan with a slight expression.

"Yes." Lu Haiyang raised his eyebrows and smiled. At this time, a guard suddenly came over and whispered a few words in Lu Haiyang's ear, only to see a glimmer of light suddenly pass in Lu Haiyang's eyes, and the smile on the corner of his lips also deepened a little. He stretched out his hand and waved his hand at the guard, took a few steps closer to Xiao Xiwei, looked down at Xiao Xiwei's eyes and said, "Xiaguan just received news that he caught a palace maid who wanted to escape from the palace in Xuanwu Gate. ”

Xiao Xi's slightly slender eyelashes moved, she slowly lowered her eyes, and her clear voice sounded faintly, "Oh, is it? ”

Lu Haiyang stared at Xiao Xiwei motionlessly, and after a while, he hooked the corners of his lips, "Princess Yan, please go to Yikun Palace with your subordinates." With that, he stepped out of the way and made a gesture, "Princess, please." ”

"Princess." Ziyan stretched out her hand to hold Xiao Xiwei's hand, and quickly glanced around in her eyes.

Xiao Xiwei gently grasped Ziyan's fingertips with his backhand, the corners of his lips curved a shallow arc, looked at Ziyan with clear eyes, and said indifferently, "Help me up." ”

Looking at Xiao Xi's slightly clear and indifferent gaze, Ziyan's tense heart unconsciously eased.

There are forbidden troops under Lu Haiyang everywhere around these places, and it is impossible for her to take the princess out safely with her alone. It is better to listen to the princess than to put the princess in danger by acting rashly. She believed that the princess must have had a plan in her heart.

The Yikun Palace is brightly lit.

A little palace maid trembled and knelt on the ground, the emperor sitting at the top had a bad face, and the Yan Guifei next to her was also unpredictable, only Xiao Xiwei sat on the rosewood chair below, her face was as gentle and indifferent as if she had just come in, as if nothing had happened.

"Doesn't the princess have anything to say?" Lu Haiyang raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Xiwei.

Xiao Xi raised his eyes slightly and looked at Lu Haiyang, "What does Master Lu want me to say?" What does this little palace maid have to do with me escaping from the palace? ”

"Doesn't it have anything to do with the princess? Then why did she go to Yanwang's Mansion? Lu Haiyang raised his eyebrows and said.

"Yes! I also want to know why she went to Yanwang's Mansion. Xiao Xi smiled slightly, got up and walked to the palace maid and said, "Say, what are you doing when you go out of the palace to Yanwang's Mansion without permission?" ”

"Slave maid, slave maid is ordered by the ninth princess to go to Yan Wangfu to find the princess, to find the princess ......"

"What are you looking for me to do?"

"Find the princess and ask for news of General Xiao." The little palace maid lowered her head and said in a low voice.

Xiao Xi smiled slightly, looked up at Lu Haiyang, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Lord Lu can hear clearly now." ”

"It seems that the princess still doesn't plan to admit it!" Lu Haiyang said with a smile.

Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, and then smiled, "Admit it? What does Master Lu want me to admit? ”

"Princess, you are a smart person, you should know that you have lost this game. So, hand over the Ninth Princess. Lu Haiyang looked at Xiao Xiwei, and the smugness in his slender eyes was beyond words.

No matter how good you Xiao Xiwei are at calculating, it didn't end up in my hands.

"Nine princesses? What does Lord Lu mean by this, why don't I understand! Xiao Xiwei looked at Lu Haiyang and said with a smile.

"Princess, now, you and I don't have to sell Guan Zi anymore! Commander Li of the Xuanwu Sect has already recruited them all. Lu Haiyang said again.

"What does this have to do with me?" Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a sense of relief between his eyebrows.

"It seems that the princess is planning to pretend to be stupid to the end." Lu Haiyang looked at Xiao Xiwei, and a contemptuous sneer overflowed from the corner of his lips.

"Okay, what's the noise!" Suddenly, the Emperor's angry voice rang out. The emperor's cold gaze swept over the two of them, and at the end, he turned his gaze back to Lu Haiyang and said, "Just say what you know, don't give me a dumb look here." ”

Seeing the two gentlemen singing and harmonizing, Xiao Xiwei, who was standing with his head down, couldn't help but skim a sneer at the corner of his lips.

She believed that the emperor had already known all Lu Haiyang's words and deeds today and instructed him to do it. Otherwise, it was impossible for him not to be angry when he knew the news of the fire in Yuli Palace, but to go to Yikun Palace and wait for the news with Lu Haiyang's words. It seems that Lu Haiyang had already anticipated her actions today, and set up a bureau early in the morning to wait for her here.

"Yes, Wechen obeys." Lu Haiyang saluted the emperor, and then said to the outside of the hall, "Come in." ”

Soon, a man dressed in the uniform of the forbidden army walked in and knelt on the ground to salute the emperor and Yan Guifei.

"Does the princess know him?" Lu Haiyang pointed to the humanitarian.

Xiao Xi glanced at the man, then raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Haiyang, "I don't know him." ”

"He is Li Shangwu, the commander of the Xuanwu Sect, and the concubine of the Changping Bofu." Lu Haiyang Road.

"Oh, it turned out to be the leader of the Xuanwu Sect, but I didn't know him in the first place." Xiao Xi looked at Lu Haiyang with a slight smile.

"It doesn't matter if the princess doesn't know him, but my eldest brother knows him very well."

"Your eldest brother? Do you mean the prince of Lu Guo? But even if he knows the prince of Lu Guogong, what does it have to do with me? Xiao Xi said with a smile.

"Yes! This is really strange, I didn't understand it at first, but it wasn't until my people caught the palace maid named Qingying next to the ninth princess. Lu Haiyang walked around Xiao Xiwei as he spoke, "This palace is heavily guarded, how can a palace maid sneak out of the palace in the middle of the night without being noticed, unless someone buys off the forbidden army guarding the city gate, how can she get out of the palace?" This person who bought Li Shangwu, princess, guess who it is? ”

"This palace is not as smart as Lord Lu, how can you guess." Xiao Xi said slightly.

Lu Haiyang smiled, "The princess is too humble, and there are few people in this world who can be as thoughtful as the princess." Li Shangwu is the concubine of Changping Bo, and he has never been valued by Changping Bo, but he has a very good relationship with my eldest brother. This time, he let this little palace maid out of the palace at the behest of my eldest brother. ”

"Even if that's the case, what does that have to do with me?" Xiao Xi looked at Lu Haiyang with a slight smile.

"yes, I don't understand that. It's like the princess suddenly visited our Lu Guogong Mansion half a month ago, and I can't figure out the reason for this. It wasn't until I caught this little palace maid today, and I knew from Commander Li that he was entrusted by my eldest brother, that I suddenly figured this out. I said why did Princess Yan leave the Lu Mansion with her front foot, and my eldest brother's 'illness' on the back leg suddenly recovered, and she inexplicably begged the emperor for marriage at the dinner? I'm curious how the hell did Princess Yan convince my eldest brother? I don't know, can Princess Yan solve Weichen's doubts? ”

Xiao Xi smiled, raised his hand and patted his palm, "I have to say that Lord Lu's imagination is really excellent, I went to the Lu Guogong Mansion just to visit my sister, how can I be made up such a story by Lord Lu in vain, I really admire!" ”

"Who in the capital doesn't know that my wife fell out with the princess because she insisted on marrying me. Besides, Chun'er has been married into my mansion for so long, and the princess has never come to see it once, why did she suddenly come again? ”

"That's it!" The emperor sitting on the high seat snorted, and his cold and majestic gaze swept towards Xiao Xi slightly, "Princess Yan, what else do you have to say?" ”

Xiao Xi hurriedly turned around and blessed the emperor, "Father, the son has nothing to say." However, all this is just Lord Lu's conjecture, and there is no evidence. Besides, Lord Lu said so much, but he just wanted to say that the son of the prince of Lu Guo instructed the prince of Lu Guo to buy Commander Li to let this little palace maid out of the palace? However, the father, the emperor, and the sons have no reason to do this? ”

"Your Majesty, Princess Yan is still pregnant, can you let her sit down and talk back." Concubine Yan got up and blessed the emperor.

The emperor's face turned cold, and he turned his eyes to look at Lu Haiyang, "Do you have anything to say?" ”

"Your Majesty." Lu Haiyang raised his hand towards the emperor and hugged his fist, and said loudly, "Princess Yan said that she had no reason, but in fact, there is. Princess Yan has done so much, of course, the purpose is not for a little palace maid, her real goal should be the ninth princess. ”

"What did you say!"

"Your Majesty, the fire in Yuli Palace, buying off the commander of the city and letting the palace maid out of the palace, all this is just a trick for Princess Yan, the purpose is just to go around the chaos and fish in troubled waters to steal the ninth princess out of the palace." Lu Haiyang clenched his fists, and his voice sounded loudly in Yikun Palace.

"Princess." Ziyan hurriedly stepped forward to support Xiao Xiwei, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

It turned out that all the princess's plans had been discovered, so what should I do?

Xiao Xiwei's eyes narrowed, and his eyes stared at Lu Haiyang motionlessly.

Lu Haiyang turned his face and smiled at Xiao Xi, "Princess Yan, Weichen is not wrong, right?" ”

"Lord Lu should really go to tell the story, your ability to make up stories should be unique in Dayue." Xiao Xi stared at Lu Haiyang coldly.

"Enough!" The emperor roared angrily, followed by a 'snap', and the celadon teacup on the table was swept to the ground, "Princess Yan, you put the fire in Yuli Palace!" You are so bold that you dare to resist the decree and steal people out of the palace from under my nose! ”

"Father, the son doesn't dare." Xiao Xi hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty......" Concubine Yan Guifei hurriedly got up and interceded with Xiao Xiwei.

"Shut up! You say, "Do you have a part in this?" The emperor's eyes swept towards Concubine Yan with fire.

Concubine Yan was stunned, a trace of sadness crossed her eyes, and she glanced at the emperor deeply, "In the eyes of Your Majesty, what is a concubine." With that, he knelt on the ground.

"Father, this matter has nothing to do with the sons and daughters and the concubines, do you want to convict the sons and the concubines just by the two words of Lord Lu?" Xiao Xiwei looked up at the emperor and said loudly.

"You're still going to quibble!" The emperor said coldly.

"Father, it's not a son's quibble. It was clearly a fire in Yuli Palace, and Lord Lu, as the commander of the forbidden army, was afraid of taking responsibility, so he pushed everything on his sons. The father couldn't help but think about it, what reason did the son have to risk the crime of bullying the prince to steal the ninth princess out of the palace? Could it be that the ninth princess only likes my eldest brother? I'm going to steal the Ninth Princess out of the palace for her at the risk of raiding the Zhongyong Mansion and the Yanwang Mansion and exterminating the family? This reason is said, not to mention the father, even if there is anyone who can trust the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Xiao Xiwei said fearlessly in the emperor's eyes.

The emperor looked at him, and for a while he couldn't find a word to refute.

"That's not convincing on that ground, but if I had proof." At this time, Lu Haiyang's words suddenly rang out.
