After Liu Yu sent Ning Zhi back to Ning's house, he went back to his princess's mansion.

As soon as he returned to the princess's mansion, Liu Yu immediately went to Xiaoqing, and then retold all the conversations between Ning Zhi and the shopkeeper in the teahouse to Xiaoqing.

Of course, after leaving the teahouse, he bet with Ning Zhi or something, Liu Yu didn't say a word.

"Well, do you know who that guest on the seventh floor is?" asked Liu Yu.

Xiao Qing, who was pulled up from sleep by the princess, shrugged her eyelids, listened to Liu Yu's tirade with a resentful expression, and then yawned.

She looked at Liu Yu and was silent.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Xiaoqing didn't speak for a long time, Liu Yu asked with a wink.

Xiaoqing shook her head and said flatly, "It's okay." ”

Then Xiaoqing yawned again, and then began to think carefully about what the princess had said. She thought for a moment and said, "Those words all reveal a meaning, that guest is more noble than the princess, you and Ning Gongzi's identity. In Luoyang, there are many people who are more noble than Ning Gongzi, but there are not many who are more noble than you, the princess. In this way, the scope of thinking is narrowed down a lot. ”

"Makes sense, you continue. Liu Yu's eyes lit up.

Xiaoqing glanced at her princess strangely, a little curious about the state of her princess, she seemed to want to know who the guest was?

But now Xiaoqing wants to sleep more......

Xiao Qing sighed and continued, "Next, as long as you rule it out, the most noble people in Luoyang City than the princess are King Liang, the crown prince, and those in the palace. But those in the palace have always been difficult to leave the palace. So at that time, on the seventh floor, it was either Liu Wu, the king of Liang, or Liu Che, His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"Liu Wu, the king of Liang, and Liu Che, the crown prince. Liu Yu nodded as if he didn't understand, "Then who do you think it will be?"

"I won't know if I checked the whereabouts of the two highnesses at that time, but King Liang has always been keen to make friends with powerful people, and he pays attention to pomp and circumstance in everything. The crown prince has always lived in seclusion and his whereabouts are secretive, so I prefer to be the prince. ”

In a small mansion in the eastern district of Luoyang City, a young man in a white shirt sat in the corridor looking at the moon.

The night was as cool as water, and the night breeze blew with a hint of coolness, and the young man shrank back. This is a handsome young man with bright eyes and a bright moon.

"Since you feel cold, why are you wearing so thin?" In the shadows, Dongfang Shuo, the eldest son of the Dongfang family, came out and handed him a coat to protect him from the wind.

It seemed to be very familiar, and the young man didn't look back, reached out and took his coat, and draped it over his body.

"What are you thinking, it's rare for His Highness to look sentimental. Dongfang Shuo followed the example of a young man and sat cross-legged next to the young man.

The young man smiled lightly, "What else can you think, you know, when you are old, people always like to remember everything in the past, think about the right and wrong things in their lives, although most of them are meaningless." ”

"Old? If Dongfang Shuo remembers correctly, His Highness is only twenty this year, right? This is an upright prime. Dongfang Shuo said with a smile.

The young man laughed softly. It's just that the smile is strange, with a transparency that does not match the vicissitudes of his youth and sees through life.

"Your Majesty, everything is over, this is a new world. Dongfang Shuo looked at the young man and said. It's just strange that he didn't address His Highness this time, but he addressed His Majesty.

"If this is heard by others, you and I are afraid that there will be a lot of trouble. The young man laughed.

"Sooner or later. Dongfang Shuo smiled and said, "King Liang has gone too far, and this country can't be handed over to him." People who walk on the edge of a cliff and don't know it are too dangerous. ”

"If my uncle hadn't been so eager, I'd have been more than willing to give him the throne. The young man shook his head, a little tired in his tone, "I still prefer to walk around and see the world than to sit on the throne." Look at the mountains and rivers, and look at the rivers. Look at the scenery you've never seen before. ”

The young man's expression showed yearning, and he looked at Dongfang Shuo, "Just like you." ”

Dongfang Shuo smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty." ”

The young man stood up, and all the sentimentality faded the moment he got up. Dignity and domineering appeared in him, this temperament was too real, as if the light wind just now was just an illusion.

Dongfang Shuo's eyes were in a trance, and the young man's appearance at the moment was what he knew, a natural hero, heroic and heroic.

It's just that the gesture and words of the young man just now remained deeply in Dongfang Shuo's heart.

"You shouldn't have come to me to just talk, did you have something going on?" The young man, or the crown prince Liu Che, walked into the room in his coat, lit a lamp casually, and said, "Come in and say, it's really cold outside." ”

Who would have thought that the prince, who has always been gentle and modest in the eyes of hundreds of officials, was at a disadvantage in the throne, and the unspeakably miserable prince who was suppressed by the Liang family and the queen mother, seemed to have the throne at his fingertips in his words.

On the surface, he is the eldest son of the Dongfang family, but in fact, he has already controlled the entire Dongfang family, but he doesn't know when he became the prince, and the two seem to be quite familiar.

After a few moments, the two sat opposite each other in the room.

"I guess, it's the Ning family's business?" the prince casually found a place and leaned lazily on it.

"Yes, the son of the Ning family found the teahouse, forced the shopkeeper of the teahouse to ask who the guest on the seventh floor was at the time, and even threatened to punish the shopkeeper as an assassin if he didn't say it. Dongfang Shuo said with a smile.

"Well, coercion and intimidation, did the shopkeeper of the teahouse say anything?" said the prince with a smile.

"Of course not, in Luoyang, I still know which is more important. Dongfang Shuo said, "It's just that although the shopkeeper didn't dare to reveal His Highness's whereabouts, the Ning family was indeed not offended by him." If he wants to target him, he may not be able to get along in Luoyang. ”

"The shopkeeper was afraid, so he came to me, hoping to ask for protection for the sake of him swearing to die and not telling his whereabouts. ”

"Anyway, he is also an old Jianghu, he will know a little bit about Ning Zhi that the Ning family can't do that kind of thing. Liu Che shook his head, "Then give him a blessing and tell him that if the Ning family really makes a move on him, I will protect him." It's just that in this way, Ning Zhike has let me down. ”

"I don't think he will. Dongfang Shuo said with a smile.

"The ninth of the trial tablet, the acquired fight to kill the innate is indeed not a simple character, I hope it will be a fellow traveler in the future. Liu Che said with emotion.

"And what about that assassin? Wasn't it supposed to assassinate me in the first place? I hid my cultivation to prepare for a blockbuster, how did I find that Ning family again. Liu Che said with some dissatisfaction, but the information revealed in his words was a little terrifying, and he seemed to know too much.

"It is always right for His Highness to promote cultivation," Dongfang Shuo smiled, and then said with a somewhat strange expression, "According to the news from the informant, it seems that the Ning family is more likely to be devastated than to assassinate a prince. ”

Liu Che was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, "I understand, if that Ning Zhi has been mediocre, then the Ning Mansion will be defeated sooner or later, so there is no need to do anything against the Ning Mansion." But Ning Zhi began to behave extraordinary, and those people of the Ning family would not allow the Ning family to be in the glorious generation. ”

"In addition, I am already in a weak position in the battle for the throne, and my death does not seem to have much impact on the Han, but I would rather die than get revenge. ”

Liu Che sneered, "I'm afraid there are still a lot of promoters behind this, right? The Xu family, the Xun family, or the Chen family? In the past, the Ning family offended a lot of people." ”

"Old Man Ning is a personal masterpiece, and the Ning family will rise in only one generation, but the process is too fast and is destined to touch the interests of many people. Dongfang Shuo said.

Ning Zhi would never have thought that the prince he thought was struggling on the throne and might capsize at any time, but it was just his imagination, and the real prince was far from Ning Zhi's imagination.

Many things that should have been hidden were casually told by the two, and the context of the assassination was very clear in the eyes of the two princes.

It's just that such a prince, how did he lose the battle for the throne in his previous life? Is it really because of an assassination that the prince already knew?

Or is there something else going on?

"Your Highness. Dongfang Shuo said softly, "Do you want to see Ning Zhi, the same road or different roads, you will know at first sight." ”

"Look at fate, if Ning Zhi really chooses to follow us, it may not be a good thing for him. Liu Che shook his head, "Let's take a look at it again." ”

Dongfang Shuo nodded silently.

"That's right. Liu Che suddenly said, "Does your father still like to go shopping on flower boats?"

Dongfang Shuo's face showed a little embarrassment, "How could His Highness care about this." ”

"It's not that I care. Liu Che patted his forehead, and his face showed a little teasing, "When will your father take us with you?"

Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something, and after a little hesitation, he smiled, "Since His Highness is interested, then Shuo will arrange it another day." ”
