Bai Zhen poured cold water on his face, took a long breath, and the feeling of exhaustion suddenly decreased a lot.

"Zhen'er?" Trojan Mahou stood by the open wooden door and knocked on the door.

Bai Zhen hastily wiped his face and said, "Uncle, please come in." He walked to the table and poured a glass of water and handed it to him: "Uncle is looking for me?"

Mumahou sat down and looked at him with a smile: "Did Qinghan ask you to come over?"

Bai Zhen was slightly stunned and admitted calmly: "Yes, I really can't hide it from you." ”

Mumahou asked, "Mind telling me what she thinks about this marriage?" After a pause, he added: "I know that she and Wen Lun are in love with each other, and I have no objection to the two of them being together." Although Qinghan has been avoiding talking about this matter, I also want to know what she really thinks. ”

Bai Zhen smiled slightly bitterly: "It's already this time, even if Qinghan is ready to marry Wen Lun, what's the use?

Trojan Mahou sighed lightly: "I know that there is no possibility of turning around, but I should at least know what kind of thoughts my daughter has, right?"

Bai Zhen said: "If I appear here, it means that Qinghan wants to marry the little prince." ”

Trojan Marquis replied with a "yes", fell silent, and asked after a moment, "Then how do you feel about the result of your trip?"

Bai Zhen laughed: "It's not good for me to say this to my uncle, right?"

Trojan Marquis smiled lightly: "Listening to your words, do you mean that you are ready to speak ill of him?"

Bai Zhen said: "Bad words are naturally not counted, but just my personal opinion." Except for those who are evaluated by everyone, I just think that the little prince has no heart. ”

Trojan Hou Qi said: "No heart?"

Bai Zhen hesitated: "I'll just talk to my uncle." The little prince can't see any anger on his body. He is like a work of art that has been carefully carved, cared for, and then admired. In him, I saw far more sorrow than joy. A person who can't even make himself happy can't give happiness to others. To be honest, the assessment of being suave and approachable is indeed true. He is also as everyone rumored, with a beautiful appearance, both civil and military, and no temper, and a family background above 10,000 people. He's perfect, just with ...... Qinghan is the same. ”

Trojan Horse Hou was silent.

Bai Zhen said: "Really, it's very similar." has unparalleled appearance and talent, has a solid family background and noble status, and has impeccable cultivation. However, there was no anger. No matter how good they are in the eyes of others, those who really understand them will understand that they are just living dolls, living according to their most perfect appearance. Although I am a bit presumptuous to say this, it is not difficult to hear from the words of everyone today that his usual smile is fake. Even if he smiled today, he couldn't see the smile in the depths of his eyes. If you can't reach the bottom of your eyes, it's not a smile, he's not happy. Uncle Mu, I can't imagine what Qinghan and Little Wangye, two people like them will be like in their lifetime together?"

Muma Hou pursed his lips tightly: "Is Qinghan's last choice to marry Zhao Qingyan?"

Bai Zhen nodded: "Since it is the result of her own choice, then she will not regret it." At least the little prince won't wronged her, and that's fine. ”

Mumahou took a sip of tea: "I'm a little uneasy. ”

Bai Zhen said: "After all, it is the result of Qinghan's own choice, and there is no room for change, so you can only go with the flow." ”

Trojan Marquis forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his heart: "I will make a marriage with King Qi in the next few days, and it will not be a few months before King Qi's mansion will give a dowry." Qinghan and Wen Lun are there...... I'm sorry for you. ”

Bai Zhen smiled slightly: "Uncle, don't worry, I will try my best to deal with this matter." The priorities are also understood by Ziyu, and the uncle does not have to worry. ”

Trojan Marquis nodded silently and stood up: "You rest, I'll go back and think about it." ”

Bai Zhen got up and sent him off: "Uncle, don't hurt your mind too much, everyone has their own life, and now this result may be the best result." ”

Trojan Marquis said: "I understand, the nephew doesn't have to care. ”

————————————————————————

"I said, shouldn't you go back? I'm already going to rest. Zhao Qingyan curled up on the rattan chair by the window and played with an arrow in his hand, and absentmindedly gave the order to evict the guests.

Lu cried: "It's still early, don't worry, I'll stay for a while." ”

Zhao Qingyan raised his eyes and glanced at him: "What's the matter?"

Lu Xi held his face and looked at the paintings on the wall: "It doesn't matter, it's just ...... I thought about it, it's okay if I don't see blood and tears for a long time, but I am still a little reluctant to leave Bianliang and throw blood and tears in the prison by myself. ”

Zhao Qingyan was stunned: "Jiang Wuyan has already told you?"

Lu Wei nodded: "Sort of." I've already guessed that if I were you, I'd probably make that choice. If you have a high merit, you will never be able to escape. Your father's throne is high and powerful, and King Huan believes in it, and even His Majesty's favor and connivance with you is known to everyone in the entire Bianliang. Who would dare to keep you like this?"

"The merit is high. Zhao Qingyan muttered again, and the expression in his lowered eyes flickered.

Lu Wei didn't notice his change: "Since you are already a thorn in the side of the East Palace, if you choose to bow down and be a vassal, then what you have to do is to unload the military power and show your loyalty?"

Zhao Qingyan nodded silently and motioned for him to continue.

Lu wept and said: "Now that the two privy deputy envoys have left, there is no one to succeed them. His Majesty's health is weakening, and the situation in the court can be regarded as a time when Ouchi is dominant. Replacing Ouchi at such a time will do far more harm than good. Even if the new emperor ascends the throne, as long as the court is in turmoil, it is impossible for Ouchi to move. So, even if you know that the piece you are holding is a hot potato, you can't throw it away. If you can't relinquish power, you can reduce the threat you can bring, such as me, a marquis who has no real power. ”

"Light Wind Palace, Butterfly Town, Trojan Horse Mansion, plus you. Zhao Qingyan finally raised his head, and looked at Lu Wei with eyes that were blurred by the candlelight, "Qingfeng and Jiang Wuyan have already agreed." ”

Lu Wei smiled: "Of course I agree." Have you been there?"

Zhao Qingyan shook his head lightly: "Fifteen years of marriage contract, Mu Qinghan is willing to spend his life with me, a cripple, what else can I do? The court and the rivers and lakes are watching, if I and her take the marriage contract like this, where is the face and credibility of the Qi Palace?"

Jiang Wuyan said with a half-sigh and half-joking: "The son of the prince, there is a lot of helplessness." ”

Zhao Qingyan was noncommittal: "Maybe." ”

Lu Wei asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

Zhao Qingyan said: "If you marry, you must marry, and the Hou Ye and the father must also mean this." I plan to talk about this matter carefully with my father, and then he will go and talk to the Hou Ye. It's never wrong to be careful. ”

Lu Wei said: "The Marquis of Trojan Horse is always a marquis, the forces of the rivers and lakes, and the connections of the imperial court are not small, and there should not be many people who dare to touch the tiger beard of the Marquis of Trojan Horse." Even if you are not afraid of the Trojan Horse Mansion, you must always take care of the Qi Palace, right? I don't think the queen can do it to this extent. ”

Zhao Qingyan smiled helplessly: "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have chosen to watch from the sidelines." ”

Lu Wei groaned: "What about the blood and tears?"

Zhao Qingyan turned the shaft of the arrow between his fingers and was silent for a long time: "You take him away." The matter of the puppet palace has passed, and he should not be in danger. After all, it's your brother, don't cry and never hurt blood and tears. I'll discuss it with Uncle Thirteen, let the blood and tears come out, and let him leave with you. ”

Lu Wei asked: "In this situation, you will not attract people to let out blood and tears?"

Zhao Qing said: "No, it's not a big deal." Besides, I can't rest assured that the blood and tears will stay in Ouchi, so it's better to let him leave the place of right and wrong quickly. ”

Lu Wei frowned and asked, "Listening to the meaning of your words, don't you have the heart of death?"

Zhao Qingyan said briefly: "Yes." ”

Lu Xi asked, "Is it so serious?"

Zhao Qingyan threw the arrow into Ran Haoyan's arms and lay back: "It's not easy anyway." At least I can't escape the seizure of power, but I don't know how much more I can leave at this time. ”

Lu Wei pursed his lips: "I'm a little worried about you." ”

Zhao Qingyan closed his eyes and didn't want to say more: "It's the greatest help to me that you leave quickly to make me worry less, I don't have the good interest of going to die and pulling a few friends as companions." ”

Lu Wei exhaled lightly: "You play harder than me." ”

Zhao Qingyan said: "Speaking of this, take Xia Peng with you when you leave, don't let him circle around me like a fly." ”

Lu Wei was stunned and said, "Aren't you too lazy to care about him? This is a good opportunity to test your cultivation." ”

Zhao Qingyan asked rhetorically: "When there is a lion on the other side and you are confronted, but there is a fly dangling in front of your eyes, don't you feel annoying?"

Lu Wei smiled and asked, "Where has the little prince's cultivation gone?"

Zhao Qingyan said: "Xia Peng can always be regarded as a serious guard, I'm afraid that I will miss and hurt him." ”

Lu Wei shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'll just go and steal a few things from a distance, it's not a trouble." You continue to confront your lion, and I'll help you lure the flies away, will it all work?"

Zhao Qingyan heard the dissatisfaction in his words and said, "Don't despise me, and don't look down on you." The affairs of our Zhao family do not need any unrelated people to interfere. His eyes were still closed, and his face was flat, and he could not see any joy or anger.

Lu Wei choked: "Okay, I know." ”

After a long silence, Zhao Qingyan opened his eyes and softened his tone: "I'm just a little tired, and I don't mean anything else." ”

Lu Wei smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, I won't be angry because of your words or two." ”

Zhao Qingyan pointed to the tea cup on the table, motioned to Ran Haoyu to bring the water, drank a full cup in a big gulp, and then slowly spoke: "There is still a month before my coming-of-age ceremony, and then you will leave." ”

Lu Wei didn't object again this time, and nodded: "Okay." ”
