"Ten taels of silver is really not much, but this girl doesn't have any silver taels on her now, take me back to buy it later, can you help me keep this painting for a while?" Nalan Qianqian stared at the painting, the corners of her mouth slightly curled.

"It's hard to say, it's okay to stay for a while, but after a long time, if someone wants to buy it, I can't guarantee it. Xu Yue'er glanced at the woman in front of her and said truthfully.

"Okay, then wait for me to burn incense, and I'll come when I go. With that, the woman turned and squeezed out of the crowd.

"Why don't you go and join in the fun, hurry up, I always feel like a few pairs of eyes are staring at us. Nalan Qidi hurriedly pulled his sister back.

"Brother, where are the few of them, why haven't you seen a shadow?" Nalan Qianqian glanced around, feeling that their subordinates hadn't seen it today, and couldn't help asking.

"They are completing other tasks, and it is estimated that they will be able to meet us at the Land Temple in the east of the city after noon at the earliest. Nalan Qidi lowered his voice and explained cautiously.

"Okay, we may be targeted, I always think that the person who just sold the painting is a little weird, is someone sent to spy on us, but fortunately I found an excuse to leave, and after a while their accomplices come and we will be in trouble. Nalan Qianqian still had palpitations in her heart. I always feel that everything is inappropriate today, and it is best to avoid it in the land temple.

"It seems that someone is following us behind, and we can't go back to the Land Temple directly now, we have to slip around, shake off our tails and go back. Nalan Qidi looked back for a long time, and felt that he should take a good walk with his tail and then go back, so he and his sister ran directly to the grove on the outskirts of the city.

The forest is lush and green, not to mention the easy to hide, and it is indeed a good place to go.

The brother and sister shuttled through the forest, because Nalan Qianqian grew up in Mexico, so she was very familiar with the geographical environment here, and the two of them could naturally move freely in this area.

"Brother, do you see that there are still people following behind?" Nalan Qianqian leaned against a big tree, a little out of breath.

"Listening to the voice, they should have been shaken off, they all seem to be rookies. Nalan Qidi listened for a long time, and said proudly.

"Not necessarily, maybe it's not their purpose to follow us, but it's also possible that their purpose is deeper. Nalan Qianqian sat on the grass, leaned on the big tree at will, and said to herself.

"It doesn't matter what his purpose is, it's a good thing that we get rid of them, otherwise we will always have no bottom in our hearts. Nalan Qidi also sat down, very satisfied.

"Brother, I'm afraid we are really going to go home empty-handed this time, Mo Xingchen will not belong to me, and Xu Nuo'er will not belong to you, it seems that we will toss again in vain. Nalan Qianqian couldn't help but feel a little lost.

"Sister, this is not like your character, our small plan failed this time, it doesn't mean that there is no chance, you must know that the emperor of the Mo country is also a little wary of Mo Xingchen, so we can make a fuss about this." After all, it is better to break away from morality, and when the time comes, the entire country of Mexico will be ours, can they still escape?" Nalan Qidi laughed arrogantly, there is no word for failure in his world, and there is no time for him to give up what he wants easily, unless it reaches the point of despair, he will never give up.

"You mean, you have a new idea, but do we have to rely on the power of our father to realize it?" Nalan Qianqian vaguely guessed that her brother had the idea, and the two of them had the most similar personalities, so she also knew this brother best.

"When we go back, we can unite the forces of the Western Regions and show favor to the Mexican country together, and then our conditions, hehe, you should think of it. Nalan Qidi had a wishful thinking in his heart.

"Well, it's also a way, but the chance of success is not great, if I want to marry into the palace again, it's not difficult, but it's equivalent to throwing myself into the net, that is useless, if you want to promise to marry your son, it's okay, it's a double win. Nalan Qianqian smiled deeply, and she had her own little Jiujiu'er in her heart.

"Remember, don't make any more promises, she's my favorite woman at the moment, so you have to respect her, unless one day she's less important, and I'll remember to let you know when the time comes. Nalan smiled and mentioned Xu Nuo'er to his sister again.

Nalan Qianqian seemed to be smiling, feeling that her brother was really a wonder of the Loulan royal family. He doesn't like to dance knives and guns or dance and ink, he just likes to wander around and collect women, his harem is more beautiful than the emperor's harem, but he still doesn't give up, he simply lives to find old age, he has a very short sense of freshness to women, just three or two months, and then find other new loves, but he is very generous, almost all his women have a request, that is, the wandering heart has nowhere to stay.

If it weren't for this reason, he might have been the prince of Loulan a long time ago, and he would have become the prince long ago.

Nalan Qianqian told her brother behind her back to be more restrained, at least to know how to be perfunctory in front of her father, but Nalan Qidi still went his own way, and it didn't seem to have changed at all.

"Do you think my father can approve of this? I don't think it's very likely that he agrees. Nalan Qianqian stared into the distance, she has been living for Loulan, living for the Nalan family, and she doesn't know when she will really live for herself.

"It's up to you and me to cooperate, we don't use some small tricks, how can my father agree, besides, the concubine next to him is not a fuel-efficient lamp, her son is still young, of course she has to save her strength, and wait for the opportunity to let her son have the strength to compete with me. Nalan Qidi smiled coldly, he had long known everything about the government and the harem, otherwise he was not very sure to put forward such an idea.

"Brother, my father is very old, and now Concubine Xiao and Concubine Li are in charge, we can't sit still, if you can't do it, you can act at the opportunity, sister, I must be on your side." Nalan Qianqian gritted her teeth and said ruthlessly.

She and Nalan Qidi are brothers and sisters with the same father and mother, and the queen mother left early, and their brothers and sisters have always depended on each other. Although they are the nominal eldest son of the princess, but the beauties around the father are constant, and the wind on the pillow is blowing non-stop, so their situation can be imagined, otherwise how could she, as a princess, be sent to Mexico since she was a child to do a fine work, if it weren't for her scheming and slickness, I'm afraid she would have died in Mexico a long time ago, how could she have a chance to return to Loulan.

My brother's situation is stronger than her, but her father's delay in establishing a crown prince makes the government and the opposition panic, and they all hope to set the prince as soon as possible.

Of course, they know that there are many people who oppose the establishment of the crown prince, and the strongest is none other than the two favorite concubines of the father, one is Concubine Xiao and the other is Concubine Li, both of whom are young and beautiful, and they are quite scheming, and they both gave birth to little princes, although their children are young, but their ambition to seize power is no less than that of other concubines.

The family background of the two favorite concubines is also comparable to that of a tiger, they are both behind the gate, Wen Taowu can do everything, which is also the strongest opponent of their brother and sister.

The queen mother's family is also the Wang clan of Loulan, otherwise they would have no capital to seize power, and now it seems that this side is in a three-party situation. The officials of the government and the opposition who support the three parties are also obvious to the team, and they naturally know it in their hearts.

The brother and sister sneaked back to the Land Temple after noon, and there were already subordinates waiting for them here.

"Master, we just got the news that the emperor is sick and bedridden, and we call the master to come back quickly!" one of his subordinates hurriedly reported the latest news.

"What are you talking about? When we came out, my father was fine, but why did he get sick and bedridden for a few days? There must be a reason for this. Nalan Qidi couldn't believe it, it had only been a few days since Loulan had changed so much.

This subordinate really has no way of knowing, and he asks the master to calm his anger. The subordinate bowed his head guiltily, hoping that his master would calm down.

"Brother, don't be embarrassed for them, let's go back quickly, otherwise, if those with ill intentions take the lead, I'm afraid it will be difficult for things to have a place to maneuver. Nalan Qianqian rolled her eyes and hurriedly persuaded her brother.

She has grown up outside since she was a child, and she really doesn't have much affection for this father, and the most affectionate in this royal family is this brother who secretly helped her many times, and it was also her brother who finally rescued her from Fuwangfu.

In her heart, her brother is her real relative, and there is no substitute, so she will spare no effort to win the imperial power for her brother.

"Okay, let's go back to Loulan quickly, everything here will be put aside first, and we will be back soon." Nalan Qidi felt that what his sister said was reasonable, so he didn't delay any longer, and immediately took his subordinates to secretly return to Loulan from the path.

When the brother and sister returned to Loulan, the concubines in the harem were very surprised, because they thought that the news was blocked very well, and they only waited for the emperor to kick his legs, and they mutinied and seized power.

"Yo, the eldest princess and the eldest prince are back, and we are thinking about sending someone to find you as soon as possible, so that you can come back early, but I didn't expect you to come back at the right time. Concubine Xiao greeted her gracefully, not seeing the haggard feeling of waiting for the patient at all, and said incorrectly.

"Concubine Xiao has worked hard, as the eldest son and eldest daughter, we always care about our father, of course, we don't dare to delay for a moment, and we rushed back non-stop. Nalan Qidi said with a smile.

For the concubines in the harem, he doesn't have a good impression at all, although the generation is there, but he is not a few years older than him, and he is considered the same age.

"The eldest prince, you are back, hurry up and go in and take a look at the emperor, he was still talking about you just now. Concubine Ru, who was dressed in plain clothes but had a face like a peach and plum, greeted her, with a pair of charming eyes looking forward to leaving, and there was joy in her eyes.

Nalan Qidi gave her a reassuring look, and then walked into his father's bedroom with his sister.

I saw my father lying on the dragon bed, his eyes slightly closed, his face haggard, and the situation was not optimistic.

"Father, are you alright? We're back, what's wrong with you?" Nalan Qidi asked with concern as he knelt down in front of the bed.

"Is Di'er back? Father is waiting for you, Father is afraid that he will not be able to escape this time, alas, he should also go to accompany your mother, she has been living alone for so many years, and someone should accompany her. The old emperor sighed lightly and whispered.

"Father, don't say that, the Queen Mother also hopes that you can live well in the Heavenly Spirit, because Loulan needs you, our brothers and sisters also need you, and your children and grandchildren need you. Nalan Qidi couldn't help choking up.

"Silly boy, my father knows his current situation best, but he hasn't made a prince, don't blame your father, it's for fear that you will become the target of public criticism. The emperor said quietly, as the emperor of the Ninety-Five Supreme, he also has his own helplessness.
