"Child?......" Xiao Yunhe's heart throbbed slightly, "I don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet." When they're born, let's choose a name. They were born in my family, and from the moment they were born, they had to get used to and accept this unfortunate fate. This is their fate!"

Wu Yuanheng was speechless, so he had to be silent.

A few days later. Arrived at the Sword Pavilion. It is the height of summer, the scorching sun is shining brightly, and the mountains and forests are extremely hot. The soldiers and horses all showed many signs of heat stroke and were miserable. Xiao Yunhe, Ma Sui and the others decided to take a break in the Sword Pavilion to escape the heat.

In fact, Ma Sui still muttered a little in his heart, wanting to be in front of the Jianchuan army and the people of Shudi. Taking King Han away is, after all, a very risky thing. Because in the future, the safety of King Han will depend on him to ensure it. But...... These days, he's thinking about it. I found that the emperor who was extremely sacred in my mind before didn't seem to be so perfect. When the king of Han arrived in the national capital, according to the situation, it is true that anything can happen.

The single safest way to do this...... It's that the King of Han doesn't enter Beijing!

Today, everything is reversed. The person who wanted to bring King Han into the capital the most. Now I don't want the king of Han to do this. On the contrary, King Han himself has already made a decision. I want to go to the capital of the country.

A few days later, an envoy from the imperial court came. There is nothing else to do, just to urge Ma Sui to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

In this regard, Ma Sui was quite helpless. The emperor and those people in the court, where do they know the suffering of soldiers. Shu Dao was already difficult, and now there are a lot of wounded after the war, and they have to recuperate in the Sword Pavilion for a while, which is also for the sake of the lives of these wounded. In the summer. Where can these wounded withstand any bumps. The emperor was so anxious to urge him to go back, just because he was a little worried that he had been with the King of Han for a long time, and he would have some different intentions.

In this regard, Ma Sui could only smile bitterly and do what the holy decree said.

The army marched out. Han Wang walked together.

It's the same as the last time I decided to go to Beijing. Xiao Yunhe brought Su Fei'er, Ju Wenzhen and Dugu Fan, as well as eleven Han Wangfu guards. I've already settled down the affairs of Xichuan before. This time, there is nothing to worry about and worry about. With Wu Yuanheng and those people here, there will definitely be no more earth problems in Xichuan. Tubo has been completely beaten, and he will definitely not dare to make any more moves in a short time. At the very least, they had to take care of the lives of fifty or sixty thousand captives. The population of Tibet is only a few million, and even if all the people are soldiers, the number is limited. Fifty or sixty thousand people is not a small number for them. Passing through Xingyuan Mansion in Shannan West Road, Jiedu made Yan Zhen personally come out to greet him.

Yan Zhen, who is nearly seventy years old, is still very hard. A green robe and white beard fluttering, quite a bit of brilliance. The old man with 3,000 iron armor greeted each other thirty miles south of Xingyuan Mansion, and the drums and colorful flags were flying, and a welcome ceremony was quite lively.

For Yan Zhen, who doesn't have much friendship, Xiao Yunhe is still very grateful. In the first battle to defend Jianchuan before, Yan Zhen sent Ma Xun to lead 20,000 troops to help, and became an extremely important force in the Jianchuan army. The two also began a divine friendship because of that battle to defend the Earth Sword River. Moreover, the friendship is deepening day by day.

The army was invited into Xingyuan Mansion for a little rectification. The 3,000 soldiers and horses led by Ma Xun can be regarded as having made a mistake and returned to the Xingyuan army.

At nightfall, a feast ended. Yan Zhen is very enthusiastic, and he is seventy years old and still accompanies the wine in person. Xiao Yunhe and Ma Sui are all massive, and they have poured the old man into a daze. Xiao Yunhe had just returned to the arranged pavilion, and someone came to visit immediately.

It's none other than Yan Zhen, who has just gotten drunk and was helped to retreat from the banquet. Now it seems that the old man is half drunk and sober.

"Lord Han Wang!" Yan Zhen bowed his hand and bowed to him, meticulous.

"Yan Gong, hurry up and be exempt!" Xiao Yunhe has always respected a generous elder like Yan Zhen.

The two sat down separately. Yan Zhen stroked his bright white beard, and his expression was a little grim.

"Gong Yan came to visit late at night, I don't know what to teach?" Seeing Yan Zhen's expression, Xiao Yunhe naturally thought that he had something important to do.

"Actually...... His Majesty didn't know how to say this. Yan Zhen shook his head and said, "Your Majesty and the Han King's mentor, Mrs. Yan, have had a friendship for forty years, and they are almost indistinguishable from each other. Therefore, as early as a few years ago, when the King of Han was still in the capital, his subordinates were very familiar with the King of Han. Mrs. Yan once wrote a few letters to her subordinates, talking about adults...... Today, the old decay has understood one thing. The adult is what Mrs. Yan said in the letter, and she is really the rare hero. But adults...... There is one thing about old decay. I've always been in my chest. When the emperor drove you out of the national capital, it was not easy for you to gain a foothold in Xichuan and lay a foundation for the world. But why, now, do you agree to go to Beijing regardless of life and death......? The old decay just said that if there was something wrong at that time. Adults are going to turn into ashes in this life, and Daqi, too, will lose hope!"

Xiao Yunhe smiled. said: "Thank you Yan Gong, the old man is worried." In fact...... There won't be any problems. After that, Xiao Yunhe made it clear to Yan Zhen some reasons for entering Beijing and some arrangements he had made.

Yan Zhen listened carefully and carefully, and interrupted from time to time to express his opinions. Xiao Yunhe will also be some of the most dangerous places. To put it mildly, I don't want the old man to worry too much.

In the end, Yan Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief and put his mind at ease. After a long pause, he said, "My lord." In fact, there is another piece of news for you. ”

"What?"

"Just six days ago, Mrs. Yan ...... The immortal is gone. Yan Zhen's voice was very low, revealing endless sadness.

"What, old lady, he ......," he heard at first hearing. Xiao Yunhe was also shocked.

Yan Shizhang has passed away!

"Yes, the ......" Yan Zhen's voice was a little hoarse, and he said sadly, "The old lady is eighty years old, and she is still old and energetic, and she is determined to travel thousands of miles. In the past year or two, the affairs of adults have been in an uproar in the world. The old lady is seriously ill and also runs around for adults. To tell the truth, if it weren't for the old lady who had come to Xingyuan Mansion in person. In the previous battle of Xichuan Defense, the old man may not have sent troops to help the adults. It's a pity, such a good person, just like that!"

When Xiao Yunhe heard these words, he couldn't help but feel a little sour and sad in his heart. Shook his head again and again: "It's indeed a pity. Lost a person worthy of respect. The old lady is going to the immortal, and it is also a heavy loss for Daqi!"

"Hey......" Yan Zhen sighed. "I have known the old lady for decades, and I have never seen him like this. For the sake of one person, regardless of his old age and dying, he personally came to Xingyuan Mansion to lobby me. In fact...... All he had to do was write a letter to say it, and that's all he could do. However, the old lady is such a person. Meticulous in everything you do. He was afraid that the letter would have problems on the road. And...... In his own words, if you want to ask me for help with such a serious matter, if you don't come in person, you can't show sincerity. Sincerity, sincerity! How many people still care about this thing now?"

"I care. Xiao Yunhe said indifferently, "People can't stand without faith." I've always cared most about sincerity. ”

"My lord, it's not the old man who ......instigated it," Yan Zhen said worriedly, "The emperor's fear of you is almost known to the whole world. You have the sincerity to go to Beijing to reconcile and clear up misunderstandings. He may not have the sincerity to believe you. Therefore, your trip is bound to be extremely dangerous. You...... You can get ready!"

"Yan Gong don't worry, it's okay. Xiao Yunhe smiled confidently.

Yan Zhen nodded slightly: "My lord, rest, the old man has taken his leave." He arrived in the capital one day...... Please burn an extra pillar of incense for the old lady at the grave of the old lady......! It didn't take long for the old man to come to accompany him. The last time he came to Xingyuan Mansion, we haven't finished playing chess yet!"

"Well, definitely!"

Looking at Yan Zhen's thin back, Xiao Yunhe felt an inexplicable sadness.

Yan Shizhang and Yan Zhen are all famous and capable people in the world. But these people, throughout their lives, did not shine much. It's a huge loss to die now, to die now, to be old.

There is never a shortage of thousands of horses in the world, and the lack of land is just Bole!

Xiao Yunhe's eyes were full of light.

The next day, Xiao Yunhe and Ma Sui ignored Yan Zhen's persuasion, left Xingyuan Mansion and insisted on setting off. Out of Shannan Road, the road is easier to walk. About half a month of marching, you can reach the national capital.

The closer he got to the national capital, the more Xiao Yunhe felt in his heart that there was a special thought about to surge.

Countries...... When I left here a few years ago, I never thought I would come back in such a way?

It's really treacherous, and the world is unpredictable!

At the same time, Ma Sui's heart was also a little up and down. This time, the emperor sent him out to conquer Xichuan, but he didn't expect to cooperate with the target of the expedition in turn. I don't know how the emperor will understand and view such a thing. will be outside, the king's order will not be affected, and in the end, such a thing will be that the "king" is not happy.

Everyone had their own thoughts, all the way to the pass. The national capital is already close at hand. You can almost smell the extravagant smell that is unique to the national capital. In the early morning mist, the majestic and thin capital city is like a sleeping giant, not moving at all. From a distance, the huge city seems to stand at the end of heaven and earth, stepping on the fertile soil and the sky above the head, revealing a majestic and majestic atmosphere.

Every time he saw the national capital, Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but think of the things he had experienced here. Whether it is as a king or emperor of Qin in the previous life, the bits and pieces of Yang or this life here will come to mind.

O national capital...... I'm here in front of your eyes again! What kind of right and wrong and fate will I experience this time?!

More than 100,000 troops gathered in whole formations, ready to set up camp, and act at the behest of the holy decree.

Xiao Yunhe and Ma Suice stood on a high place, looking at the national capital.

"Your Excellency...... It's time to get to the capital. Ma Sui took a long breath and whispered, "You still have one last chance to turn back now." Rest assured, no one will know that you have followed the army to the Guannai. The last general just doesn't want to, and the adults will regret it in the future. ”

"Don't worry, I won't regret it. Xiao Yunhe had a confident smile on his face, "I'm a person who has a habit. I just don't like to regret it. Since it was your own choice, there was nothing to regret. Ma Dashuai - send this king to Beijing!"

The streets of the national capital are as lively as ever. The head of the city stood tall, and the soldiers, who were twice as large as usual, held their halberds with solemn faces.

The originally bustling streets suddenly became a little tense because of the arrival of a group of people.

"Is that the King of Han?"

"I don't know, I guess it's right...... I haven't seen it for a few years, and not much has changed. I've seen it twice. ”

"Did he really go back to Beijing? Did Ma Sui capture him?"

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful......"

The whispered discussion was incessant, forming a roar. In fact, there were no ironclad soldiers to open the way, but a large number of people spontaneously stood on both sides of the street, all paying attention to the group of people who walked through the city gate.

Xiao Yunhe changed into a purple prince's robe, wore a three-beam gold crown, and rode proudly on the big white horse on Vermilion Bird Street. Ma Sui and the others followed from the side, half a horse behind.

He was trying hard to control his feelings, not allowing himself to express any excitement and emotion. But the surging feelings in his heart seemed to break through his chest and burst out.

It's been three years...... In the snap of his fingers, it has been three years since he left this imperial capital that cherishes his lifeline. These three years are really nothing for Canghai Wannian. But for one person, it can change dramatically. Obviously, he has undergone such a transformation now. When he was in the national capital, when did he ever think that he would return to the imperial capital in such a way? At the moment, when it seemed calm, a few people could see the turbulent undercurrent under the flat waves.

This time, from the first time he stepped on the bricks of the national capital, Xiao Yunhe clearly knew that he had really embarked on a road of no return.

From this moment on. He fought against the Emperor, unless one side was defeated or fell...... Otherwise, no one will give up.

Xiao Yunhe is also letting his heart slowly become cold and hard.

Only in this way can we survive and win.

It's helpless, it's cruel.

But that's the law of survival.

The group walked through Suzaku Street. Passing through the Han Palace. In front of the house gate, it is the same as in the past, with a vermilion lacquer door and two stones. However, there is an extra team of armored soldiers who are ready to fight than before.

"The last general will meet Lord Han Wang!" a person who looked like a small school trotted in front of Xiao Yunhe and bowed, "By the emperor's majesty's decree." Welcome the King of Han and his entourage to stay in the Mansion of King Han. ”

"Oh, you're sorry. Xiao Yunhe didn't say anything, and waved to the car behind him. The group was led by Xiaoxiaodi and entered the Han Palace.

The Han Palace's Mansion is still the same as before, almost nothing has changed. Ju Wenzhen and Sophie got out of the car. Get busy right away. The emperor was really thoughtful. More than a dozen maid servants have been arranged in the Han Wang's mansion, and as soon as the Han King arrives, he can serve people.

But Xiao Yunhe, who is meticulous, knows it very well. These are probably no ordinary servants. Otherwise. Where can there be such outstanding maids and professional servants? These people must be the palace maids and miscellaneous servants, who have been strictly selected -- the emperor's henchmen.

Xiao Yunhe, who has lived in the palace for decades, can see the flaws almost at a glance.

The emperor's intentions are clearly revealed. Xiao Yunhe sneered secretly.

Ma Sui also followed into the Han Palace, and worked together for a while to help with some small favors. I was even more nervous in my heart. Finally, it was time for the final confrontation, between the emperor and the king of Han. In what way will we meet and start the showdown?

Xiao Yunhedi's heart became quieter. The more he faced the great enemy and the heavy dà incident, the more he was surprisingly calm, which almost became his instinctive habit. If it comes, it will be safe, and the emperor will make a move. I'm waiting to see the move. There is no established routine or pattern for such a war. Anything can happen at any moment.

In the evening. Xiao Yunhe and his entourage had just finished breakfast, and someone from the palace came.

As expected, the emperor invited the king of Han to enter the palace to see him.

Everyone's hearts suddenly rose to their throats. Xiao Yunhe straightened his clothes slightly, and went to Daming Palace with the palace envoy without hesitation.

Little has changed in the Royal Palace. It's just that everyone's eyes look at King Han are a little strange. Xiao Yunhe didn't care, and walked towards the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace with his head held high.

The emperor is in the study.

When he stepped in for the first time, Xiao Yunhe felt that the room was dark. Dou Wenchang and several other eunuchs standing on the side seemed to be shrouded in a layer of yin qi on their faces.

The moment the four looked at each other, Xiao Yunhe's heart was like water, his expression was not shocked, the old man raised some eyebrows slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately smiled again.

"Son...... Minister Xiao Yunhe, long live my father, long live, long live!" Xiao Yunhe knelt down. After three years, he felt that kneeling on the ground this time was more contrary to his will than any previous time, and it made him depressed.

"Yunhe, hurry up and excuse me!" the old man smiled, "Dou Wenchang, quickly show the Han King!"

A small rusty chair was moved, and Xiao Yunhe sat down in an orderly manner, and when he didn't look at the old man, he talked to him.

"Hmm...... Not seen for three years, not much has changed. The crane is still the crane. Hehehe!" the old man seemed to smile heartily, and said as if he were at home, "It's been hard all the way, isn't it? Look at you, you're all tanned. ”

Xiao Yunhe arched his hand and smiled: "Your Majesty is blessed, and your sons are all fine." ”

"Well, that's fine. The old man nodded casually and said, "I have already sent someone to take care of your Han Palace." How's it going, are you satisfied?"

"I am very satisfied! Thank you for your trouble. ”

"Hmm...... The two of them don't have to say kind words. The old man waved his hand and motioned for Dou Wenchang and the others to retreat. After waiting for a while, he said, "You leave the national capital and go for three years." That's a lot going on in the last three years. I miss you very much. There may have been some treacherous provocations that have caused a rift between our father and son, but I have forgotten about those unpleasant things. Yunhe, don't go to your heart! Family and everything is prosperous, I still need you, a capable son, to take care of the country and do a lot of things for me!"

Xiao Yunhe stood up with a disheartened face. He bowed his hand and said, "Father Emperor Mingjian! The previous misunderstanding was a trick of the Tibetan people to divide the land. Now, Erchen has detained the Tubo Prime Minister Shang Jiezan and his party to the national capital, and from his mouth, you can learn the truth of the truth. Erchen also wants to clarify the previous meeting, and has returned Erchen's innocence, so that there will be no more civil strife in the world of Daqi. ”

"Hmm. Good, good. The old man nodded with a smile and smiled, "You have done a very good job in this matter." When I heard the news of Nishikawa's victory, I was pleasantly surprised. So he immediately sent someone to Xichuan to announce the decree. Let you and Ma Sui come back to Beijing as soon as possible - I want to reward you two greatly!"

Xiao Yunhe smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Erchen just did his part, and he didn't dare to ask for a reward." However, Ma Sui and many local officials and soldiers have made great contributions, and His Majesty should reward them. ”

"Hehe, you really know the general situation. The old man smiled, "The matter of the reward." I have already ordered the Cabinet to be consulted with the Ministry of Rites. By the way, you didn't have time to return to Beijing to participate in the sacrifice during the Qingming Festival, and I personally burned incense for you in front of your ancestors and ancestors. The reason for this is explained. Later, you will have time to go to the temple by yourself. You can't make the ancestors misunderstand and get angry!"

"Yes!" Xiao Yunhe replied. But in his heart, he scolded: I, Chu Yanqiu, am I insinuating against me? You have already made your ancestor angry!

The old man is still the same as before, and he never makes it clear what he is doing. Right now, he is only pulling Xiao Yunhe to talk about homely things, looking like a dignified elder. But in the air between the two, there seemed to be a smell of nervousness, which made people clearly feel that the two were inseparable. Infighting.

"That's right. The old man seemed to suddenly remember something, and said, "The prince misses you very much. Wait until you leave the imperial study, let's go to the East Palace. And Xiao Wen'an, he heard that you are going back to Beijing. I was so happy that I danced with my hands, and I was in the East Palace every day. pestering the prince to go to your mansion and wait for you, hehe!"

"Hmm. Later, the retainer went to see the prince. Xiao Yunhe didn't say much. The old man is fighting a family offensive, follow him, and see what tricks he can play.

The old man showed a strange smile on his face and said, "The prince has already cleaned up a room for you in the East Palace, waiting to invite you to stay for a few days. It's rare for you to go back to Beijing, so don't be in such a hurry to go back. In response to the prince's wishes, let's live in the East Palace for a few days. It is estimated that there will be no major events in the Han Palace, and I will send Dou Wenchang to take care of it every day. Your brothers have always had a good relationship, and now it's time to talk together!"

Xiao Yunhe's heart was shocked: Finally showed the fox's tail - let me live in the East Palace, house arrest?!

"Why, you don't want to?" said the old man, mocking his doubts.

"Oh, no!" Xiao Yunhe said, "Erchen misses the prince too. It's just that...... The sons were afraid that they would cause trouble to the crown prince. Thanks to His Majesty's care and care, the Han Wangfu is still very comfortable to live in. Moreover, the retinue brought by the retainers were all rough people who were used to running rampant on the battlefield and did not know the rules very well. If I hadn't been in control, I was afraid that they would make trouble in the capital. ”

"Oh, what does it matter?" said the old man with relief, "are you brothers? Do you still talk about this kind of politeness between brothers? You don't have many followers from Xichuan, right? I arranged for them to be in the palace and temporarily serve as guards in the East Palace. When you're about to leave, take it with you. That way you'll be able to take them with you. In addition, your maidservants and eunuchs are probably also used well, so take them with you - get along with the prince more, you two brothers, you should get along well with each other, so as to be a model for the world!"

"Yes......" Xiao Yunhe gave up his hand, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't say anything. I thought that I would finally get a few of my people to my side.

He knew that this was already the most moderate means that the old man could think of. Let's go up the vine and see what melons you can pick.

"Well, good, good......" The old man said several times in a row, not knowing what was good. After a while, he said, "I'm a little tired today, and you're having a hard time traveling, so go back and rest early." Since you are ready to stay in the East Palace, let's go to meet the prince tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will ask Dou Wenchang to take someone to the Han Palace's Mansion to pick you up. When you go back, make preparations. Okay, you stand down. ”

"The retainer retired. Xiao Yunhe arched his hands and withdrew.

At the door, Dou Wenchang bowed to Xiao Yunhe half-yin and yang: "Lord Han is a thousand years old, a thousand years old." ”

"Lord Dou, don't come here unharmed?" Xiao Yunhe glanced at him and walked away with his own high spirits.

Dou Wenchang looked at Xiao Yunhe's back, snorted coldly, and showed a sneer.

Xiao Yunhe slowly walked out of the Zichen Palace, looking at the Daming Palace in the night, his heart was surprisingly quiet. The old man is still the same old man, and he will never show any dissatisfaction or hostility in front of him. Some of his methods are full of villain mentality, which is very disgusting and annoying. He called himself alone like this, but he was just idle and didn't say a word about the big things that happened. It's nothing more than to show that I'm broad-minded. But the more he did this, the more he wanted to heal the obstacles. This narrow-minded villain may have executed King Han a thousand or ten thousand times in his heart. A short-sighted, even shorter-minded wreck!

But such a person is the emperor.

Xiao Yunhe snorted sullenly: "Come on...... I said a long time ago that I will not back down, and I will not give you another chance! If we must divide the victory and defeat between us and live or die, then the one who falls will definitely be you!"

"What? absolutely not!" Dugu Fan was obviously a little angry, very angry.

Xiao Yunhe smiled on the side: "I know this is indeed a bit difficult. But...... There's no way around it. You can just be wronged!"

"But I'm a man!" Dugu Fan lowered his voice and roared, "You actually let me pretend to be a maid and live in the East Palace with you!

Xiao Yunhe said patiently: "Your outfit in a bronze mask is really too maverick and eye-catching. The more conspicuous the palace is, the more it can invite trouble. Now we are always walking on thin ice, and we can't afford to be careless. Now, you're the heaviest helper by my side. If you won't help me, who else can I rely on?"

Dugu Fan was stunned for a while, and said hatefully: "Okay, it's up to you." However, I don't want to stay in the East Palace for an extra day, so you'd better find a way to get out of that hellish place early!"

"Okay!" Xiao Yunhe said with a smile, "Sophie, come on...... Help Dugu Fan dress up with makeup!"

Dugu Fan's heart was like a dozen caterpillars crawling, and he was extremely depressed.

The accompanying soldiers made a simple preparation, just waiting for the king of Han to set off.

After a while, an exclamation from Sophie came from Dugu Fan's room, "Ah-

Xiao Yunhe stepped forward and knocked on the door: "What's the matter?"

"No, nothing. Sophie hurriedly replied, "Wait a minute, my lord, it will be fine soon." A moment later, Sophie stepped forward and opened the door, her expression a little surprised.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yunhe asked.

"It's nothing!" Sophie said with some surprise and shyness, "I just didn't expect Dugu Gongzi to look ...... It seems like a princess. put on makeup and put on daughter makeup, and she is more beautiful than anyone else. ”

Xiao Yunhe shook his head and smiled bitterly, and raised his hand: "You step back first." ”

Entering the room, Dugu Fan was sitting depressedly in front of the bronze mirror motionless.

"Are you satisfied?" Dugu Fan turned his head. A look of anger.

Xiao Yunhe took a closer look, and he was very obedient - it was really a big beauty! Although she was just wearing ordinary Yahuan clothes, anyone who looked at it was an extremely iconic beauty. Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but smile dumbly: "Not bad, very good." It's just that...... You should show your face less. Otherwise, with your looks, it is really ...... Stunning, a little swaggering. ”

"Hmph!" Dugu Fan was depressed. "Although I have a woman's face, I have a man's voice. Unless I'm dumb, I'll be exposed in an instant. ”

"Okay, then you can play dumb. Xiao Yunhe said, "I'll just say it." You are a sister of Princess Dugu, who was born mute, and is my maid. ”

"Whatever you want. Dugu Fan said, "If it weren't for my sister-in-law, how could I endure this kind of." You'd better not play any more risky tricks. Let's save my life. In a place like the palace, no matter how high a master is, he is not sure that he will escape with a bloody path. It's time for the last resort. You just hide in the tunnels of Lingyan Pavilion. ”

"I know. Rest assured that you will be fine when you read the literary network all the way. ”

The crown prince Li Yu was very enthusiastic, and he had already sent people from his East Palace Zhan Mansion to greet the Han King and his party. Six or seven purple Shao cars had already been placed in front of the Han Palace.

Xiao Yunhe and his entourage got into the car and went straight into the palace until the East Palace.

Li Yu also personally went to the Rongde Hall of the East Palace to greet the King of Han. I haven't seen each other for a few years, and Li Yu's changes are greater than Xiao Yunhe's. His face looks much more mature. He had some black beard under his chin, and his face was a little darker. He was wearing a crown prince's yellow robe and a golden crown, and his outfit seemed quite formal.

Xiao Yunhe got out of the car. Li Yu had already greeted him.

"Meet the prince!" Xiao Yunhe bowed first. Li Yu also hurriedly replied: "The imperial brother is far away, and the foolish brother is not welcome." Please forgive your sins, forgive your sins!"

"The prince is too polite. Xiao Yunhe smiled, "From today onwards, Weichen will be bothering you in the East Palace." ”

"Brother Huang, where are you talking about this?" Li Yu still looked honest and honest, and said with a smile, "Brother Huang is far away in Xishu, and he is a distinguished guest who can't be invited." This time I had to stay longer. Come, quickly move the salute to Lord Han and his entourage, and arrange the guest room-ah, this one is ?......"

Li Yu's eyes were completely fixed on Dugu Fandi.

Dugu Fan felt this man's eyes, and felt embarrassed for a while, and his face was about to show anger. I had no choice but to endure. He followed the example of a woman and bowed. Sophie on the side almost couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Yunhe hurriedly explained: "This is my sister-in-law, Princess Dugu. Born unable to speak, unable to greet adults, and please forgive your sins. ”

The expression on Li Yu's face changed in an instant. He stared at Dugu Fan for a while, and then he barely squeezed out a smile and said, "It turned out to be the emperor's brother's treasure, and the foolish brother was really abrupt." Brother Huang, please hurry, the banquet has been prepared. The foolish brother uncovered the wind and washed the dust for the royal brother. ”

"Prince first, please!" the group walked towards the Rongde Palace.

Such a small episode naturally made Dugu Fan feel annoyed and depressed. Xiao Yunhe also remembered in his heart that when Moyi was in the national capital, the prince invited her over as a guest. To say that the prince has no intentions for Moyi is absolutely nonsense. A woman like Moyi, for a man, is loved by everyone. It's a pity that Moyi later wore a gang in the Han Palace, and had to leave the national capital. For this reason, Li Yu must have been depressed. Later, I heard that Moyi was married to the King of Han in Xichuan, and it was difficult to guarantee that the vinegar jar would be overturned. It's no wonder that he made that kind of expression when he just saw Dugu Fan, who was a little similar to Moyi.

Xiao Yunhe doesn't know much about the crown prince Li Yu. It's just that in my impression, I feel that this person is a little kinder than the emperor, but it is by no means as honest as it seems on the surface. His mental skill city is much more powerful than that of the emperor. As for the magnanimity of men and women, I really don't know. Will he be angry with the King of Han in his heart because of the matter of Moyidi? Perhaps no one except Li Yu himself knows.

During the banquet, Li Yu was very warm and polite, and he looked like a younger brother. It's just that he doesn't seem to have a good amount of alcohol, and after a few drinks, his tongue trembles. But he has a lot of self-control. knew that the amount of alcohol was not good, so he did not sacrifice his life with a large number of people like King Han. After the wine was half-drunk, he couldn't control his eyes, and kept glancing at Dugu Fan's body.

Dugu Fan stood behind Xiao Yunhe and served, he had already felt the prince's warm and strange eyes, and he was annoyed and depressed in his heart, and he couldn't wait to fly up and cut this guy with a sword.

After the banquet was dispersed, Xiao Yunhe and his party waited. Naturally, I went back to my room to rest. The East Palace is no better than the ordinary prince's mansion. There are six royal guards in the East Palace, numbering no less than five or six thousand, all of which are the prince's own personal arms. The East Palace is also very complete and sufficient, just like a small court and a small palace. The six people of the East Palace are dedicated to protecting the prince and guarding the East Palace. Defend this place like an iron bucket. I have to say that the emperor and the crown prince really used some brains about how to deal with the King of Han. Going to jail is obviously unreasonable. When the King of Han returned from meritorious service to meet the emperor, he took the initiative to make peace. If the emperor did this, he would definitely incur the opposition of the whole world. If King Han is left alone, he will obviously not be at ease. Who knows what he will do in the national capital? Li Sheng, Li Huaiguang, and other generals are also in the national capital now. Among the Shi family, he also has a good relationship with the Guo family.

Left and right, it is the most appropriate way to leave King Han under house arrest in the East Palace.

All the way. Xiao Yunhe saw that there were three steps, one pavilion, five steps and one post in the East Palace, and the courtyard where his group lived was even more heavily guarded. The eleven guards brought by the King of Han himself were also arranged to live in the guest room next to the King of Han and treated as guests. The guards in charge of guarding are all from the East Palace, and the number is extremely large, which is obviously much stricter than the garrisons in other places. A discerning person can see at a glance what kind of hospitality this is. It's simply house arrest. Xiao Yunhe didn't attack in his eyes, but only sneered in his heart. Words and deeds are leisurely, without any tension and dissatisfaction.

After nightfall, Xiao Yunhe was preparing to rest, but the prince came to visit in person. When I happened to walk to the door, I met Sophie who was leaving with the water to wash her feet. Li Yu deliberately took a few more glances and praised a few words. said that the maids and maids around King Han were so beautiful. made Sophie's face flush and she left in a hurry.

"Is the imperial brother satisfied here?" Li Yu smiled very enthusiastically, "The foolish brother is afraid that his subordinates will be clumsy and will not serve the imperial brother well, so he specially came to take a look." If the royal brother is dissatisfied, just tell me. Those stupid subordinates, just beat and scold, don't be polite. ”

"No, that's good, I'm satisfied. Xiao Yunhe smiled, "The people under the crown prince are very capable, and they take care of this place very well. I stayed here and felt very comfortable and safe. "It's not light, it's not serious, Xiao Yunhe ridiculed Li Yu for a while, implying that he sent so many soldiers to watch outside.

Li Yu pretended to be stupid and said with a smile: "It's good if the imperial brother is satisfied, it's good if you're satisfied." ”

Xiao Yunhe frowned slightly: "Prince...... What's the matter?"

"Uh, cough......" Li Yu coughed awkwardly, "There are no big things, there are some small things I want to talk about with the imperial brother." ”

"Let's talk about it. Xiao Yunhe sneered in his heart: What else can there be? The children of the royal family have gotten together like this, and what else is there to say in private without talking about official affairs? Looking at Li Yu's embarrassed expression, could it be that he fell in love with Dugu Fan again?

That's kind of interesting......

"Brother Huang......" Li Yu had a warm smile on his face, and lowered his voice and said, "The maids and maids beside you are really beautiful!"

Xiao Yunhe replied with a warm smile: "What, is there anything you like? Don't be polite between brothers, just say it if you have something to say." ”

"Hey...... The royal brother is really a straightforward person. Li Yu smiled innocently, his expression was very strange, "Foolish brother wants to know, that Dugu clan ...... That is, the aunt of the royal brother, what is the relationship with the imperial brother?"
