Chapter 344: The Prince's Companion
Straight to business
Looking at the silky charm in her eyes, Xu Yuan was a little vigilant.
Although this breast-wrapped princess looks like a bad woman in her words and deeds, she actually didn't even touch a hair for him.
Now say this.
Wait a minute
Hongu?
With a slightly warm snort spraying across the side of her face, Xu Yuan looked at her close face and suddenly looked at her eyes.
was startled, and her eyes subconsciously wanted to look around, but at the last moment, Xu Yuan suppressed an impulse, her expression remained unchanged, and her fingertips held up her chin:
"You. Heh, they're all thousand-year-old goblins, so don't act here. β
Li Qingyan's body was attached to the black dragon body behind him, the waist and hip lines under the red robe were looming, his chin was slightly raised, his red lips were red, and he groaned softly:
"Well, Hongu didn't joke with you tonight."
"Huh."
Xu Yuan took a step back directly, glanced at the woman, and said aloud to the coachman who was setting up a horse in front of him:
"Mr. Wang, let's go."
β.β
The words fell silently, only the snow drifted by.
The man in black sitting on the platform ignored Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan frowned slightly, and subconsciously glanced at the carriage platform.
When Li Qingyan saw the other party leaving, a touch of boredom flashed in his eyes, and he also stood up straight, reminding casually:
"Direct transmission, this black-scaled guard of your family took the initiative to shut up the five senses."
Xu Yuan was dumbfounded when he heard this.
yes, it's quite sensible.
After the transmission, Mr. Wang, who was caged in a black robe, quickly got out of the car and saluted the two:
"Third prince, His Royal Highness Wu Yuan."
Xu Yuanmu glanced at the other party approvingly, and said with a smile:
"Go home."
Hearing this, Mr. Wang respectfully opened the car door for Xu Yuan, and the formation engraved on the black dragon's body immediately operated, and several translucent stairs were formed at the door.
The body of the black dragon carriage is very large, and the door is more than half a meter above the ground.
The top luxury Haoma Xiang car is pulled up as a passenger, after all, life must have a sense of ceremony.
Stepping on the stairs on the tip of his boots, Xu Yuan looked back and said softly:
"Then I'll go first tonight."
"Wait a minute."
Li Qingyan raised his hand and grabbed him, and laughed softly: "Changtianling, let's accompany the palace to meet someone tonight." β
After a pause, Xu Yuan looked back with a little doubt.
He didn't remember that he had an important person who had a common acquaintance with Li Qingyan in this Guangyang Mansion.
"See whom?"
"My royal brother's companion."
β.β
Xu Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this, and subconsciously glanced at Li Zhaoyuan's mansion a hundred zhang away, and then asked in a low voice:
"Prince?"
"Otherwise, it could be Li Zhaoyuan?"
"What is he looking for you to do at this time?"
"What do you say?"
Li Qingyan exhaled a mouthful of white mist on the silent street of the cold autumn night, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "What else can you do besides wooing the palace?" β
After a moment's pause,
She suddenly glanced meaningfully into the mansion: "It seems that the second brother's trip to the north has created a lot of crisis for the imperial brother." β
When Xu Yuan saw her eyes, his spiritual vision subconsciously poked out, but he found nothing.
But in the next moment, a white-clothed figure appeared in the chaotic snow, and a low and slightly magnetic male voice quietly came:
"This trip to the north was personally approved by the emperor's brother, so how can there be a crisis?"
β.β
Seeing the visitor, Xu Yuan sighed in his heart.
Although his spiritual vision is extremely penetrating, the coverage of his ability is limited by cultivation, and it is extremely limited.
Li Zhaoyuan stepped on the snow silently, leaving a footprint, and when he came to the front of him, the pair of starry eyes stared at Li Qingyan, and his tone was as calm as a mountain:
"Imperial sister, you are injured"
"The injuries are not serious."
Li Qingyan's cold gaze swept over, and the corners of his lips raised slightly: "Second brother, you have healing pills, and this palace and Changtian should have them, so I won't bother you." β
Li Zhaoyuan bowed his head slightly, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and said:
"Well, then I can rest assured that I am a brother, but the imperial sister, your injuries have not healed, and you must focus on your body when you go north this time."
Li Qingyan stared at him, his voice was not cold:
"You're here to talk about this?"
Li Zhaoyuan didn't care about Li Qingyan's tone, and was still calm and soft:
"After Fang finished using the meal prepared by you and Changtian for your brother, I sensed your Qi machine, I haven't seen you for a long time, come and say hello."
Li Qingyan shook his head when he heard this, but did not answer.
The meaning is obvious,
After saying hello, don't you get out?
β.β
Li Zhaoyuan chuckled and sighed, nodded to the two, turned around, and then seemed to remember something, and said in a low voice:
"Oh, yes."
As he spoke, Li Zhaoyuan turned around halfway, his side face was plump and handsome, and his tone also brought a hint of a smile:
"The situation in the north is complicated this time, and my brother may be able to be a comrade with the imperial sister."
β.β
Hearing this, Li Qingyan's brows immediately furrowed, but Li Zhaoyuan's figure had already disappeared, and only a little snow and dust kicked up by the strong wind was in the quiet streets and alleys.
There was silence for a moment, and the inscription lamp stretched the shadows of the three of them very long.
Ban Yu,
Xu Yuan looked around:
"Gone?"
Li Qingyandai's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and there was a touch of solemnity in her beautiful eyes:
"Gone."
Xu Yuan looked at her solemn expression and asked with a chuckle:
"What are you thinking, why are you so serious?"
β.β
Listening to the other party's grinning voice, Li Qingyan glared back at this heartless guy and exhaled:
"Don't you understand, Li Zhaoyuan came this time to come to the ward palace on purpose, and he may be in charge of the army."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan shook his head with a smile:
"Maybe? Qingyan, you are wrong. β
"Huh?"
"With Li Zhaoyuan's character, will he say something ethereal?"
Xu Yuan still smiled lightly, and there was no joy or anger in his eyes: "Since he dares to come to inform us, he will inevitably get some military power." β
Of course, he understood the purpose of Li Zhaoyuan's trip.
The so-called comrades are not protons with the army.
Li Qingyan raised his eyes to look at Xu Yuan, with a little curiosity in his eyes:
"Changtian, what do you seem to know?"
The bad woman's reaction was as fast as ever.
However, Xu Yuan didn't respond immediately, and glanced at the black-robed man standing aside.
Yes, this uncle is autistic again.
Very self-conscious.
But think about it, people who follow Lou Ji to do intelligence often know best that curiosity can kill themselves at any time.
Retracting his gaze, Xu Yuan pulled Li Qingyan into the carriage.
The incense in the car is still there, with a hint of jasmine.
The soft couch sank, Xu Yuan met the gaze of the woman opposite, and unhurriedly took out the wine pot and glass, and was about to pour it when she snatched it:
"When do you still drink?"
Looking at each other for a while, Xu Yuan said half-jokingly:
"What's the hurry? There should be some distance to go to your barracks, and if you don't let me drink, I may lose my memory. β
Between the words, he raised his finger slightly, and directly activated the top-level closed sound array and soul separation array engraved on the black dragon carriage.
The former is silent, and the latter is soul-free.
Li Qingyan smiled, lowered his eyes and poured him a cup, and slowly got up and sat beside him:
"Don't sell it."
As she spoke, she raised her hand to his lips.
Xu Yuan's eyes picked, and while opening his lips, he smiled:
"His Royal Highness Wu Yuan personally poured wine, how many people in the world can enjoy it?"
Words fall,
Whoop -
β.β
Xu Yuan glanced at the brocade robe's wine-soaked chest, and then raised his eyes to glance at her.
After looking at each other for a moment, Li Qingyan opened his eyes sideways:
"Hongu. I haven't done this, so I'm not proficient, so I'll come a few more times."
"Alright."
Xu Yuan snatched the wine glass from her hand, put it on the desk, reclined on the soft couch, and said:
"I don't know much about this matter, it's likely that Li Zhaoyuan and the sect talked about some things tonight, so he has the confidence to say this."
Li Qingyanyu's back was erect, sitting upright, looking at the man in front of him who was not sitting:
"Zongmen. What does it have to do with him taking military power? If there is no permission from the court, it will be a private army, and the crime of rebellion will be detained, which is enough for Li Zhaoyuan to die 10,000 times. β
Xu Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes were slightly strange:
"So serious? Then my family's Black Scale Army."
"It's a private army."
Li Qingyan's words were directly qualified, but after a pause, she laughed again:
"Of course, it can also be said to be a nurse.
"After all, I don't even know how many people your Black Scale Army has."
β.β
Yes, the Great Flame Law is quite flexible.
If the number of troops is small, it is a rebellion of private soldiers, and if there are many troops, it is a family member of the hospital.
After the joke,
Li Qingyan's eyes flashed with seriousness:
"However, the nature of your Prime Minister's Mansion is completely different from that of Li Zhaoyuan, and the prince who has established a tooth in the Jingkai Mansion cannot support troops."
Because of the lessons of the past.
Six hundred years ago, Dayan once made an armed coup d'Γ©tat in Beijing by the crown prince, wanting to kill his own Laozi in advance.
Xu Yuan's eyes were strange when he heard this, and he asked in a low voice:
"But isn't the commander of the forbidden army in Dijing a princeling?"
Li Qingyan glanced at him:
"The forbidden army only obeys the orders of the father, oh no, it only obeys the emperor."
Xu Yuan chuckled lightly and disagreed:
"What you say is a bit absolute, decades of companionship, plus the skill of the dragon, it is a person who should choose."
"Long days, you're wrong."
Li Qingyan interrupted him and brushed his long hair behind his ears:
"Some things in our royal family, although I can't explain them to you, but just imagine, if the forbidden army is all under the orders of my eldest brother, then why is he trying to win the support of this palace now?
"The forbidden army is stationed in the four towns and soldiers in the imperial capital, if you want to control the imperial capital, it is much easier to directly mobilize the forbidden army than the main palace."
β.β
Xu Yuan's thoughts suddenly froze, and his brows gradually furrowed.
Just think about it.
Li Qingyan's words made some things that had not been thought about suddenly appear in Xu Yuan's mind at this moment.
If the imperial power can be smoothly handed over and the crown prince ascends the throne as scheduled, then everything will be fine.
But if not,
If the commander of the forbidden army really obeys the orders of the prince, after the order is issued, the permanent hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops will directly control Di'an City.
What can Li Zhaoyuan, the two princes, do?
Xu Yuan felt that he should be able to vote directly.
No matter how much you toss, it is impossible to make a splash.
The incense curled in the carriage, and it was silent for a while.
Li Qingyan picked up Xu Yuan's wine glass and poured himself a glass, and took a sip of his red lips:
"Figured it out?"
Xu Yuan licked the corners of his lips and laughed in a low voice:
"I probably know why Li Zhaoyuan took the risk of killing you."
If he stands in Li Zhaoyuan's position, if he is replaced, he will also be killed.
If you don't kill it, you really won't be able to sleep and eat.
After all, Li Qingyan is the half-sister of the current prince, and once she stands on the prince's side, he has almost no possibility of turning the tables.
Li Qingyan stared at him with a smile:
"Although the father and the eldest brother should now think that the second brother and the person he assassinated were me, and you were just incidental, but in fact, he shouldn't think so."
As a prince, Li Zhaoyuan will unscrupulously ascend to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
As a royal family, Li Zhaoyuan also wants no successor to Xiangguofu.
Xu Yuan was stared at a little uncomfortable, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said:
"Hey, you don't want to murder your husband, do you?"
Li Qingyan's eyes were dewy and he didn't answer.
Xu Yuan "hissed" lightly:
"Hey, are you playing really?"
"Hmm"
Li Qingyan's eyes blinked, and his smile was like a flower: "Considering Changtian's character of your flowery heart, it's not impossible."
With that, she casually handed him the porcelain cup.
Xu Yuan took a cup, drank it all, and said with a light smile:
"It's not like I haven't died, so can I leave a whole corpse when the time comes?"
Li Qingyan was silent for a few breaths, and his voice was very soft:
"Changtian, you don't really think I will"
"That's right, Qingyan."
Xu Yuan interrupted her with his mouth and said with a smile: "Li Zhaoyuan doesn't seem to know the relationship between you and your eldest brother?" β
β.β
Seeing him directly skimming over the topic, her eyes flashed imperceptibly.
In silence,
The scent of jasmine in the carriage poured into the tip of her nose, turning into a sour ripple in her heart.
But it's only for a moment.
Returning to normal, Li Qingyan did not dwell on the topic of Fang Cai:
"I don't know, otherwise he wouldn't have wanted to kill me."
Xu Yuan touched his chin, glanced at the direction of the carriage, and asked with interest:
"Qingyan, although you are in the north, the prince has not thought of contacting you? And I remember that he went to the barbarians two years ago, and stayed in Beifeng for so long, so he didn't contact you for brother and sister feelings? β
"I remember telling you about it before."
Li Qingyan showed a touch of sarcasm:
"There is no letter, and he has no intersection with me in Beifeng, and the prince often visits me when I return to Beijing to get engaged to you."
Xu Yuan sat up slightly and asked:
"There must be some reason for this, right?"
Although I haven't met the prince, judging from the rumors, it is unlikely that the other party will not take precautions.
has a sister who holds military power outside, and with the same mother's affection, she should have a good impression in advance.
As a result, the prince was facing the limit of the battle for the heir, so he came to hold on to the Buddha's feet.
That's not right.
"Why?"
Li Qingyan tilted his head, his eyebrows were clear, and his eyes were smiling: "Is this important?" β
Xu Yuan looked at her expression and was suddenly speechless.
Now, it doesn't matter whether it's because the prince really forgot about it, or because the saint is getting in the way.
Because the established facts have been established,
Li Qingyan, she didn't have any feelings for the eldest brother of the crown prince.
Thinking of this,
Xu Yuan poured a glass of wine, handed it to her, and asked softly:
"I probably know why the prince sent his companion to meet you, but why did you take me there?"
