Xiao Ce put down the dishes and chopsticks, and then smiled and said:

"You, who learned from whom, how can you go out and learn to sell Guanzi in the end."

Li Hanning looked at Xiao Ce, and suddenly remembered the movement he heard last night, and the guards outside today seemed to have a few fewer voices when they heard the breath:

"Did Your Highness call the secret guard out last night?"

Those secret guards have always been by His Highness's side, and there is nothing particularly important, Xiao Ce will not let them go out alone to carry out the mission at all.

The smile on Xiao Ce's face unconsciously retracted a little when he heard the matter of the secret guard, it was indeed he who concealed it first, but he did ignore one thing last night, his Han Ning was not only outstanding in martial arts, but also knew the Ming Wangfu and knew him better.

Xiao Ce took her hand in his hand, he didn't want to say anything to Li Hanning, 'You know it's for your good' or something like that, he looked at the person in front of him seriously and explained:

"Don't be angry, I asked the guards to check the details of Chu Zhou last night."

Although he deliberately concealed it from Li Hanning, since he already knew about the secret guard, he didn't want her to misunderstand anything more, rather than covering it up, it was better to admit it frankly, anyway, he didn't plan to hide anything from her forever.

Li Hanning was a little surprised to hear Chu Zhou's name from Xiao Ce, she originally thought that Xiao Ce was worried about her, so she went to check on the ship's use, how could she suddenly be involved with Chu Zhou again? I don't know when Xiao Ce became suspicious of Chu Zhou, but since he had already sent someone to investigate, with their ability to secretly investigate, there must have been a result at this time.

Li Hanning opened his mouth and asked Xiao Ce: "Since His Highness has sent someone to check his details, what results have been found?" ”

Xiao Ce sighed uncharacteristically when he heard this, if there is a result, it's okay, no matter what the result is, it means that it is normal, but that Chu Zhou is like a blank piece of paper, nothing can be checked, and sometimes the problem of not being able to find is the biggest problem.

Xiao Ce said truthfully to the person in front of him: "The secret guard didn't find anything. ”

Li Hanning pondered for a moment and said: "He has amnesia, and he can't remember a lot of things from the past, but his previous errand on the ship was actually arranged for him by the salt transport envoy, maybe the salt transport envoy knows some things." ”

But Xiao Ce is not concerned about these now, Xiao Ce looked at Li Hanning's serious analysis, and felt that he was a little surprised:

"Aren't you angry that I sent someone to investigate his affairs?"

Xiao Ce originally thought that Li Hanning should be angry that he went to investigate the affairs of Chuzhou without saying hello.

Li Hanning raised her head just to meet Xiao Ce's gaze, her eyes were facing each other, she didn't know why she was angry, firstly, as Xiao Ce, it was naturally a good thing to be cautious in dealing with others, and secondly, if she really found something, she originally planned to help Chu Zhou follow the clues of the purse to check his past, if he could remember it himself, it would be best, if he couldn't remember, it would be good if he could find his family.

Li Hanning looked at Xiao Ce in front of him: "Why does Your Highness think I should be angry?" ”

Xiao Ce took the person in his arms and approached the person in his arms: "It's good if you don't get angry." ”

Li Hanning always felt that Xiao Ce today was a little strange that could not be explained. However, she hadn't finished her words yet, and she had to tell Xiao Ce the rest of the points.

"By the way, Your Highness, I met Xue Rui on the ship today, he is a person who can be used, but it's a pity for the Xue family - I have promised him that no matter what happens after this case, I will try my best to save his father's life."

Li Hanning left Xiao Ce's arms and looked at the humanity in front of him:

"But after I returned home, I thought about it carefully, this matter is indeed my overstepping of my authority, involving the Xue family, I should discuss it with His Highness in advance."

Her meaning is very clear, when she was in the military camp before, she may not be able to distinguish between you and me in the military, that is because she knows that the situation on the battlefield is changing, and instead of delaying the fighter plane, she is always right to make a decision on the spot, but now it is different, the affairs in the court involve the whole body, and when encountering things like this, she is also a courtier after all.

Xiao Ce pinned the wisps of green silk scattered on her forehead behind her ears, and said patiently to the person in front of her:

"It's okay, you can make your own decisions about these things, although the Xue family chose my imperial brother, and I have a lot of discord in the court, but Xue Rui is different, he has never been in the court team, I also read the articles he wrote when I was in Chang'an a few years ago, what kind of articles a person can write depends on what he thinks, so acupuncture and disadvantages, people will naturally not be bad, he is a rare sober person in Luoyang City, if you don't use this person, it will be a loss for my Da Zhou in the future."

Xiao Ce also praised Xue Rui in and out of his words, and made it clear that he would also use this person in the future, but Xue Xiang's matter was really troublesome.

Li Hanning remembered what happened on the dock, and suddenly frowned again:

"Speaking of which, in addition to tokens, I may have to ask His Highness for some soldiers and horses."

Xiao Ce naturally knew what she was going to do, and he was relieved that she would do it: "The golden order I gave you can transfer a thousand Janissaries in Luoyang City, you can just do what you want, there is still me in Luoyang City, if the cabin can be stolen, I will order Changfeng to lead the whole city to martial law and surround the Prime Minister's Mansion in Luoyang City." ”

Li Hanning couldn't help but feel a little worried when he heard this:

"But Your Highness, in this way, it can be regarded as a private use of military power, after all, this is Luoyang."

Li Hanning hesitated for a moment and then said, "In that case, Your Highness has already made up your mind?" ”

Although some words are not clear, private soldiers are taboo in soldiers, especially in his identity as the king of Ming, which is almost equivalent to an open rebellion.

Xiao Ce said: "Since I have done it, I have done it, my father will not abolish the crown prince of my brother, at that time, the general who left Luoyang with me died to death, far away, there are no more left, my father has been in poor health these days, if my imperial brother ascends the throne, it will not leave us a way to live, you have accompanied me all the way, so hard, I can't let you accompany me to wait for death." ”

Rather than delay until that time, it is better to strike first, he has won so many battles, and he really understands the end of sitting and waiting for death.

Xiao Sheng has been pampered in Luoyang for so many years, and he has done almost nothing, but Xiao Ce has fought in the north and south along the way, and there is a good chance that the world of the Great Zhou is now fought by him.

Let him give up the country and the throne at this time, Xiao Ce really can't do it.

Li Hanning understood Xiao Ce's mind when he heard these words, since this is the case, she always wants to stand by Xiao Ce's side, compared to Xiao Sheng, Xiao Ce is indeed a more suitable emperor of the Great Zhou.

Li Hanning opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, no matter what time it is, I will be by your side." ”

In fact, it was not only her, Changfeng, Feng Zhe and those people who had fought together in the military camp in the past.

It is impossible for them to be loyal to Xiao Sheng, who they have never met, they only know Xiao Ce, the king of the Ming Dynasty, who charged with them and bleed on the battlefield.

That was their Ming King, Xiao Ce.

*

The next day, when the sky was just dawning, Xiao Ce was already preparing to go to the morning court, this was the first time he had officially returned to the court since he had been away from Luoyang for so long, it was naturally important to him, but it was still early, and he glanced at Li Hanning, who had slept beside him last night.

Xiao Ce thought in her heart, since the time was still early, let her sleep a little longer, so she relaxed her movements and prepared to get out of bed, but she didn't want to still affect the quilt.

Xiao Ce looked at Li Hanning as if he had a premonition at that moment, and sure enough, he saw her eyelids move, and then slowly opened her eyes.

Xiao Ce leaned over and looked at her: "It's okay, it's still early, you can sleep a little longer." ”

Li Hanning only felt that the itching in her ears was the heat brought by Xiao Ce's speech, she wanted to hide a little, but she was so sleepy that she had no strength on her body.

Outside, the sky was already dark, and a little light had fallen through the window.

But maybe because last night-

In short, Li Hanning was sleepy, although he knew that it was already dawn, but he really didn't want to wake up, and he struggled a little in his heart, but he still chose to obey the instinct of his body to be too sleepy.

Anyway, it's still early to persuade you, let's sleep for a while, there is nothing else to do today, even if there is something, it is not busy, you can wait until you wake up to do it, and it is not bad for this morning.

Li Hanning knew in a daze that Xiao Ce was leaving, but he unconsciously took advantage of Xiao Ce's fact that he had not left and leaned over to speak, so he grabbed Xiao Ce's underwear, which was already a little messy, and pulled it in his direction.

Xiao Ce was dragged over a little unexpectedly, and reacted quickly to prop his hand aside, when the two of them were almost close at hand, Li Hanning raised his head and kissed it, and the two of them relied on each other for a long time before she let go of the person on her body, a little lazy and lazy did not open her eyes, but comfortably rubbed the pillow under her, and still couldn't help but close her eyes.

"Then I'll sleep for a while, Your Highness go down and change your clothes, don't miss the time of the court."

Xiao Ce looked at her helplessly and shook his head, she was often this unintentional flirtatious look, which made him the most unable to let go of it, if it weren't for the early dynasty today, he would definitely stay here.

Although Xiao Ce inevitably had some complaints in his heart when he went out, he still didn't forget to tell the maid guarding outside not to disturb Li Hanning's rest, so that she could sleep during the day today until she woke up naturally.

After all, Xiao Ce knew that she didn't fall asleep until midnight last night, and she was finally free today, so it didn't hurt to let her sleep a little longer.
