"Don't be nervous, just casual, I don't have any cumbersome rules here." Xu Lanqing took a sip of sweet juice, looked at the obviously cramped and restless woman, and smiled gently.

Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya accepted it quickly, and took small bites of ladylike eating.

"Eh, okay...... Okay, Your Highness. The woman nodded hurriedly.

Xu Lanqing didn't say anything more, it is difficult for a person's habits to change in a short period of time, especially those that have already been formed.

A woman who has been a poor woman all her life, when has she ever seen such a scene?

"Mom, you eat this, it's for your body." Jiang Nannan took a piece of meat and put it in the woman's bowl, and her voice was soft.

"Eh, okay." woman

Footsteps sounded, Xu Lanqing's eyes shifted to the door, and the rest of the people were no exception.

A guard shrouded in bright silver armor walked in, one of the two guards who had been guarding the palace.

The guard walked up to Xu Lanqing and whispered, "Your Highness, Your Majesty said to let you go over." ”

Xu Lanqing raised his eyebrows, so anxious?

He had just come back, and he had not even eaten a few bites of food before he let him go, could it be that something was wrong?

"You eat first, I'll go out, don't wait for me." Xu Lanqing wiped his mouth with a tissue, got up and said.

"I'll go with you." The Snow Emperor also got up.

“…… Okay, but you can only wait outside, wronged by you. ”

Looking at the Snow Emperor's gentle and firm eyes, Xu Lanqing agreed.

For safety, outsiders and threatening people were not allowed to enter the emperor's dormitory, so the Snow Emperor could only wait outside.

He originally wanted to refuse, what else could happen in the palace? Unless Xu Tianran is crazy, it is impossible to do the stupid thing of assassinating the prince in the palace.

"What kind of grievance is this." Snow Emperor smiled and shook his head.

The two of them left the hall in the eyes of everyone.

……

The candles flickered in the dimly lit room, and the dim candlelight illuminated the rows of bookshelves next to it, as well as the cheeks of Xu Tiantian hidden in the shadows in a wheelchair.

In the candlelight in front of him, the black-clothed dragon looked at the starry night sky outside, and said lightly:

"He's back, and I can feel that extreme cold aura, even if I haven't seen anyone yet, it's already making people feel like they're in an icy hell, she's demonstrating."

Xu Tianran flipped through the yellowed book in his hand and said slowly: "Six years ago, Zheng Zhan came back with medicinal herbs and went out, so I knew that he didn't die outside, and it was only a matter of time before he came back. ”

"He's back, aren't you worried that the emperor will reject your offer?" Long Xiaoyao turned around, staring at Xu Tianran with a pair of bright eyes.

"I never thought my father would be the same in the first place." Xu Tianran was unmoved.

"Then why are you proposing?" The dragon was puzzled.

"There's nothing to lose by trying, what if it succeeds?"

Xu Tianran put down the book, raised his pale face, and smiled like spring: "And it's been so long since my proposal, and my father hasn't answered yet, what does he think, isn't it already obvious?" ”

Long Xiaoyao was silent for a moment, if he even agreed to this condition, should he say that he was a ruthless emperor's family, or was he an unruly person who achieved great things?

"Are you cruel to him?" Long Xiaoyao suddenly asked.

As for who he is, it goes without saying that he knows.

Xu Tianran's eyes were lowered and he didn't speak, how could he not hate.

If it weren't for the herb that Zheng Zhan brought back, the emperor would not have been able to live like he is now, and if he lived for another twenty or thirty years, it would not be a problem to live and die.

Not to mention wanting to be an emperor, he is getting farther and farther away from the crown prince.

The emperor was in good health and had an ambiguous attitude, so he naturally suppressed all the proposals for the crown prince's position, at least now it is impossible to establish a crown prince.

These are all inseparable from Xu Lanqing.

"In that case, why don't you find an opportunity to cut through the mess quickly?" Long Xiaoyao proposed, his voice was very soft, but the words made people shudder.

There is no Extreme Douluo who is not killed from the sea of corpses and blood, so he will naturally consider this kind of one-off thing.

"But have you ever thought about the consequences of failure?"

The flickering candle flame illuminated Xu Tianran's face: "There are no rules, there is no circle, the empire needs rules, if you want to play, you can only play in it, you underestimate the foundation of the empire."

It's okay if you succeed, but if you fail, you won't have a chance at all, but when you tear your face and put it on the bright side, the anger of the empire is not something that can be solved by the Holy Spirit Sect. ”

The dragon was silent.

At this moment, a man in black outside suddenly came in, came in directly without knocking on the door, walked to Long Xiaoyao's side, and said something in his ear.

Xu Tianran's eyes narrowed slightly, his palms clenched, and he didn't say anything to stop him.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, my holy woman is a little out of control again, and the old man has to go there in person to avoid any accidents." Long Xiaoyao waved his hand, and the man in black immediately retreated.

"Long Lao walks slowly."

"It's not like you can't give it a try, though."

The next moment, Xu Tianran said with a smile, as if it wasn't him who said those words before: "Of course, you have to plan it well, and you can't show any horses' feet." ”

Long Xiaoyao turned his head and took a deep look at Xu Tianran, and then his figure disappeared.

……

In the emperor's bedroom, Xu Lanqing bowed his head and asked, "I don't know what happened to my father and his son?" ”

"I haven't seen you for six years, and Lan Qing has grown so big."

The emperor looked Xu Lanqing up and down, and said with emotion: "Come, look up and let my father take a good look, sure enough, the longer he grows, the more handsome he becomes, and he deserves to be my son." ”

Aren't you boasting about being handsome in disguise?

Xu Lanqing complained in his heart, he raised his head and saw the emperor with a ruddy face, except for the white hair that proved that he was old, he couldn't see that there was any other problem at all.

The body is strong, the eyes are bright, and it is not much of a problem to live to old age and die like this, and the crystal blood dragon ginseng is useless.

"Thanks to the crystal blood dragon ginseng you found, otherwise I would still be lying in bed now, you have suffered a lot in the past six years, you have worked hard." The emperor patted Xu Lanqing on the shoulder, his tone of concern.

"The most important thing is my father's health." Xu Lanqing said with a smile.

"You."

The emperor smiled and shook his head, he put down his arm, waved his arm, and said magnificently: "Rewards and punishments are clear, this is the rule, meritorious service will be rewarded, what do you want, just say, I will definitely satisfy you!" ”

Xu Lanqing just wanted to refuse, he didn't have anything to want, even if he wanted something, with the Snow Emperor and them, what could he not get?

However, thinking of the Snow Emperor, he swallowed the words of refusal back into his stomach, and he thought of what he should want.

"There is really one thing that requires the consent of the emperor." Xu Lanqing said.

"Oh? I'm a little curious to let you say that, what's the matter, you can say it. The Emperor was a little curious.

Xu Lanqing took a deep breath and calmed down: "Erchen went out this time and met a confidant, Erchen wanted to marry her, so he wanted your father to give her a marriage, and asked my father to agree!" ”

He said very Zheng Zhan, his eyes met the emperor's old but not cloudy eyes, full of determination.

The emperor's smiling face gradually calmed down, and he also looked into Xu Lanqing's eyes and asked, "Who?" ”

Probably he didn't expect that his son would go out for six years, and the first thing he would do when he came back was to ask him to marry, which was really surprising.

"Snow Emperor!"

The Emperor's mouth gradually opened and he was dumbfounded.

……
