Everyone looked at Xiu Jieting suspiciously, but saw that his brows were twisted, and after a moment, he responded coldly: "Please go to the study!"

"Yes!"

The guards hurried away.

Now that your body is becoming more and more inconvenient, there are some things that you don't have to do yourself. Xiu Jieting turned around and explained to Twilight Yunxi.

"Okay, I got it!"

Twilight nodded and looked at Xiu Jieting's back as he left, the expression on his face sank.

"Now that the forces of Chiyan Mansion and Zhaoyang Mansion have been split, what is the old man doing at this time?" Tianxin muttered with a twisted brow.

"The prince is going to the imperial capital, and if he leaves, there will inevitably be some action on the side of the Underworld, and the old man is worried. Long Qianye replied lightly.

"What is he worried about, even if the Ming Dynasty invades, you will lead the troops to meet the battle, and Chiyan Mansion has always eaten ready-made food over the years!"

Tianxin pouted disappreciatively.

It can be seen from the matter of the dead man that the old man is preserving the strength of the Chiyan Army, if it is not necessary, his current strategy is to wait and see the changes and stand still.

Not only now, but when Long Qianyu mentioned Chiyan Mansion to Du Yunxi before, he also said that except for the first few years, the Chiyan Army helped to quell a few wars, and after the rise of Xiu Jieting, the Chiyan Army almost never became the main force.

The old man's selfishness is one thing, and in order to save the Chiyan clan is also another.

It's just that if there is selfishness on the battlefield, the entire army cannot be twisted into a rope, and it is necessary for Xiu Jieting to split the troops.

Everyone here guessed that Xiu Jieting had arrived in the study, and the old man was waiting, with a cup next to him, but he didn't drink a sip.

"I don't know why my uncle is here at this moment?" said Xiu Jieting when he arrived at the door.

The old man turned around when he heard the sound, and the expression on his face sank: "I heard that you are going to the imperial capital?"

"Yes! The death of the Son of Heaven is a great mourning, even if I am on the border of Huangzhou, I have to go back to mourn. "Xiu Jieting should be a lifetime.

As he spoke, he had already walked to the room, reached out to take the tea on the table, and took a sip.

The old man looked at him with such a disapproving appearance, his brows twisted, and said: "Do you know that the situation in the imperial capital is grim now, and if you go this time, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky!"

"The imperial capital, every time I go, it is more auspicious and less auspicious, my uncle should understand. Xiu Jieting replied lightly, and the cousin on his face still didn't care.

When he was a child, the emperor threw him in Huangzhou, which was to let him fend for himself, but everyone didn't expect that he didn't die, and he also strengthened Huangzhou, and now Xiu Jieting has become a thorn in everyone's side.

"You ......"

The old man's eyes froze, his fists clenched, and his voice was a little more serious: "This time is different! The emperor died, the prince was too ill to take charge, and the second prince was left in the imperial capital to hold great power, and if you go now, it must be dangerous!"

Xiu Jieting's expression sank when he heard this, he raised his head, and looked straight at the old man with a cold gaze: "It is precisely because of this that I have to go this time! The second prince is worried that he can't find a reason to send troops, if I don't go, not only the second prince, but even the princes everywhere can also send troops on this ground." ”

"Isn't that just right? We have been preparing for this battle for many years!" a gleam flashed in the old man's eyes.

Emperor Xuanling, after using the Chiyan clan at the beginning, he wanted to kill them all, and the Chiyan clan wanted revenge, and he had been preparing for so many years to take revenge.

Xiu Jieting turned to look at the old man, stared for a moment, and said, "Now is not the time, there is still an agreement between me and King Chen." ”

For Xiu Jieting, his enemies are not the entire imperial family, and, at present, with the strength of the Wasteland, he cannot confront the entire Xuanling Kingdom.

"You, royal man, what is worthy of you!"

The old man's face turned red, in his eyes, Chiyan Mansion is Xiu Jieting's family, and it is precisely because of Chiyan Mansion that Xiu Jieting is where it is today, so everything Xiu Jieting does must be considered for Chiyan Mansion.

Listening to the old man's words, Xiu Jieting couldn't help but sneer, and looked at the old man again, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"The royal family has always used me and my mother, isn't the Chiyan Mansion for us?"

There was a hint of coldness in Xiu Jieting's voice, and seeing the change in the old man's expression, he spoke again: "Back then, you gave my mother as a gift to the emperor, have you forgotten?"

These words poured into his ears, and the old man's arrogance instantly dispersed a lot, and between the flashes in his eyes, he felt a little weak: "Dang, back then, it was also a last resort, your mother's sacrifice for the whole clan is worth it!"

"Is it worth it? From the perspective of interests, it is indeed worth it, so, this is the use!" said Xiu Jieting coldly.

"You!"

The expression on the old man's face froze, his eyes flickered, and he said a sentence after a while: "So, you are resentful, you broke the marriage contract with Chun'er, and split the army, just to take revenge?"

"Chun'er and I have never had a marriage contract, and my marriage has never been something that others can interfere with!"

As he spoke, Xiu Jieting suddenly turned to look at the old man, his eyes were cold, and said, "Moreover, why I split the troops, you should know very well, the reason is not me, but Chiyan Mansion." ”

In a word, the old man was speechless.

Seeing the change in the expression on the old man's face, Xiu Jieting's eyes sank, and then said: "I remember how you helped me when I came to Huangzhou, how did Chiyan Mansion do your best, Huangzhou, as long as I am in one day, there will be a foothold of the Chiyan clan, as for the rest, my uncle should not worry about it." ”

After speaking, Xiu Jieting turned around and sat back in his place, picked up the cup and was about to drink, but when his lips touched the tea, he found that it was already cold, and he casually put it on the table again.

Some things, from the beginning of thinking about playing the emotional card, don't have such an obvious purpose of interests, people's hearts are like this tea, slowly cool down, and when the temperature is really lost in the end, there is no need to redeem it.

When the old man came out of the study, his face was pale, and it was difficult to see the extreme, not as hurried as when he came, but now he looked like he was distracted.

Twilight Yunxi stood at the door of the Zhaoyang Wang's courtyard, watching the old man stumble, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

When she first came to Zhaoyang Palace, she didn't know the relationship between Chiyan Mansion and Xiu Jieting, so she didn't care about some things that could pass, but now it seems that she really doesn't need to be so sensible.

"Why did you get out? Don't you want to sleep for a while at this time?"

Xiu Jieting came out of the study and saw Twilight Yunxi standing at the door, and couldn't help but pause, and as she spoke, she stepped forward to take her hand.

"You're leaving, I can't sleep, I got up and prepared something for you, the clothes gave way to kill to help you prepare, and the commonly used medicine I almost marked for the night return!"

As she spoke, Twilight reached out and leaned into his arms.

It's not that she's verbose, but now the heart-devouring poison in Xiu Jieting's body is a little troublesome, and Xuan Chenzi can be better, but once she has an attack, only her medicine can play some role.

Now, she could only pray that before the child spoke up, Xiu Jieting would not have any accidents.

"Don't worry, with you waiting here, I will definitely come back well. ”

Xiu Jieting's hand pressed against Twilight's head, and with that, he lowered his head and left a kiss in her hair.

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Xiu Jieting, Xuan Chenzi, plus Night Return and Bu Kill were already on the road.

Everyone has been sending the carriage to the gate of Beicheng, but no one from Chiyan Mansion, who was still very concerned about it a few days ago, has not sent it now.

Watching the carriage leave from afar, Twilight's expression was calm, and the clarity in her eyes was so clear that she couldn't see the bottom, without a trace of panic as Xiu Jieting left.

"Yunxi, protect yourself and guard the Zhaoyang Palace. ”

This was what Xiu Jieting had said to her the night before, from her pillow.

Now she is the princess of Zhaoyang Palace, and she wants to support the entire Zhaoyang Palace.

"Let's go back!"

Seeing that the carriage was gone, Twilight turned around and strolled back, her hand unconsciously resting on her stomach.

Everyone followed and walked back, Tianxin and Long Qianyu walked side by side behind Twilight Yunxi, the two seemed to have something to say, but after hesitating, they still didn't say anything.

Back at Zhaoyang Palace, Twilight Yunxi drank the medicine, still according to the previous schedule, reading books, tinkering with her medicine, and taking a nap, this morning, it was also calm.

"Princess!"

At this time, Long Qianyu's voice came from outside.

Twilight Yunxi slept lightly, and when she heard the sound in a daze, she opened her eyes and saw Long Qianyu standing by the bed with a frown.

"What's wrong?" said Twilight, sitting up.

"The old man and the eldest lady of Chiyan Mansion are here!" Long Qianyu's face was a little unsightly.

The old man and Su Chun usually look at Twilight Yunxi unpleasantly, but now that the prince has just left them, it seems that they have already planned it!

"When the prince left, I didn't see anyone from Chiyan Mansion coming, but now I'm quite active, let them go to the front hall and wait!"

As she spoke, Twilight got up and got out of bed.

"Yes!"

Long Qianyu went out in response.

Twilight's gaze lingered on the doorway for a moment, then turned around, pondering for a moment, and couldn't help but sneer.

What he had discussed with Xiu Jieting before, is he now ready to break through from himself?

After a stick of incense, Twilight Yunxi cleaned up to the front hall, and at this moment there was already a maid bringing the tea, the old man and Su Chunzheng were sitting, and the two did not speak, and the room was very quiet.

"The old man is very busy on weekdays, how can he have time to come to the palace today?"

As she spoke, Twilight walked inside.

Lai Nengren turned around when he heard the voice, and the moment he saw Twilight Yunxi, his eyes sank, especially Su Chun, and he also "hummed".

"The eldest lady came out so soon, I really want to congratulate you!" Twilight Yunxi turned to Su Chun, curling the corners of her lips.

"You!"

Su Chun's face was cold, if it was usual, he would definitely be noisy and angry, but now that he thought of the purpose of their coming, he still suppressed his anger.

"Okay! Now that Jetting is leaving, we are also worried that you will not be able to take care of it alone, so let's come in and have a look!"

The old man gave Su Chun a warning look.
