After coming down the mountain, I was pampered by two emperors!

Mei Xichen was reviewing memorials in the main hall when Shangguan's figure flashed in and walked in.

"It's bad there are assassins." Upon seeing this, the guards surrounded Shangguan Ying.

Mei Xichen looked up and hurriedly said to the guards: "Stop, you go down first."

The guards retreated after hearing Mei Xichen's instructions.

"Sister, why are you here?" Mei Xichen stepped down from the dragon chair.

"Mei Xichen, I'm here to ask you for something."

"I wonder what it is?" Mei Xichen asked curiously.

"The thing is, the leopard went crazy again these days when you were away, and even killed Xue'er. We want to find him now, but we can't..." Shangguan Ying sighed.

"Sister, stop talking." Mei Xichen took out the dragon bell and key from her arms.

"Sister, do you want this? Take it, it's useless if I leave this here." Mei Xichen smiled awkwardly.

"I'll go back without further ado. By the way, Shu Rong is with Long Er now. Do you want to go?" Shangguan Ying looked at Mei Xichen in front of him.

"No need." Mei Xichen paused and said.

"Well, if you don't have anything to bring, I'll go back first." After saying that, Shangguan Ying turned around and walked out of the hall.

After a while, Shen Tingyu walked in from outside.

"Your Majesty, I just arrived at the door and heard that a woman with special skills suddenly appeared in the hall, so I rushed over to escort her. Where is she?" Shen Tingyu looked around.

"It's eldest sister." Mei Xichen said calmly with a serious look on her face.

"Tingyu, come to the study with me."

"it is good."

The two came to the royal study and sat down.

"Your family Rong Ruo isn't here either?" Mei Xichen asked.

"Yes, wasn't your Long Jiaojiao taken away last time? When she left, she told me to go to the palace." Shen Tingyu hated and loved Rong Ruo at the same time.

"Then what?" Mei Xichen continued to ask.

"Then? There is no more."

"That's it?" Mei Xichen looked at Shen Tingyu blankly.

"Your Majesty, don't look at me like that. This family will break up sooner or later. She has no idea of ​​remarrying and obeying her husband." Shen Tingyu angrily picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

"If I had known this, I might as well have married an ordinary woman and had a few more children."

"That said, who knelt in front of me and begged me when you wanted to marry me?" Mei Xichen asked with a smile.

"Yes, but I thought he would change after he followed me. But I didn't expect..."

"Also, if I'm not afraid of losing my head, Long Jiaojiao beside you is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Although you worshiped her in the Dragon Palace, what's the point of this, right? She is the leader of a country. How could you...? This cannot be known to outsiders. In my opinion, you should give up as soon as possible."

It was not that Mei Xichen had not thought about Shen Tingyu's words. At that time in the Dragon Palace, it was also because the Dragon King was seriously ill. If he and his fifth uncle had not tried their best to match up, Mei Xichen would not have been able to worship Long Er.

He also knew that Long Jiaojiao was rescued by Shu Rong. Although Long Jiaojiao had recovered her memory, there was still Shu Rong between them.

Moreover, when Shu Rong brought Long Jiaojiao to Xuanzhe to get married, Shu Rong never touched Long Jiaojiao. The real physical intimacy was only after Long Jiaojiao changed her skin again. , from this point of view Shu Rong respects himself and Long Jiaojiao enough.

So what does it mean if you go to find Long Jiaojiao by yourself now? It wasn't appropriate to get in the middle. Although he really wanted to be with Long Er, his reason told him that he couldn't do this.

Think carefully about the promise you made to Shu Rong not to have any inappropriate thoughts about Long Jiaojiao.

"Let's forget it." Mei Xichen muttered to himself with a long sigh.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I was a little distracted just now."

"Let me tell you, what matters to us now is how to deal with that old ghost. As long as the old ghost is eliminated, I think you will no longer have trouble with that Long Jiaojiao. As the saying goes, the quickest sword cuts the mess. You still have to let go of things that should be let go. You are just a fan of the authorities."

"Don't just talk about me. Come to my imperial garden tonight and I'll treat you to a drink?" Mei Xichen smiled at him.

"Okay, it's boring for me to be alone anyway, so I might as well have a drink." Shen Tingyu's eyes lit up when she heard Mei Xichen treat her to a drink.

Shangguan Ying quickly flew back to Zhang Yunyuan's mansion after getting the dragon bell and key.

At this time, everyone was sitting in the hall discussing how to lure the leopard out.

"Sister, are you back?" Long Jiaojiao stepped forward and welcomed Shangguan Ying into the hall.

"I've got the stuff, we can get ready for action."

"In my opinion, at night, it's quieter and easier to detect." Xuantai thought for a while and said.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you. I think my brother-in-law and I can go. It's useless if there are too many other people. I will follow Xuantai quietly and bring him back as soon as I find the leopard." Shangguan Ying said blankly. Said with an expression.

"Okay, then it will be as eldest sister wishes." Xuantai nodded.

"I don't think this dragon bell can be opened. Leopard will be inseparable from this dragon bell in this life." Shangguan Ying said while looking at Long Jiaojiao.

Long Jiaojiao understood the underlying meaning of Shangguan Ying's words.

"The eldest sister asked Mei Xichen for the dragon bell. If Mei Xichen wanted to come with him, he could have come with her, but he didn't. The eldest sister must have told him that Shu Rong and I were together. That's right, why should I let someone give up? The country's important affairs come to look for you, let alone what if you see them?"

Thinking of this, Long Jiaojiao gradually understood that even if Mei Xichen liked her again, there was Shu Rong in the middle.

A man can marry three wives and four concubines and have a happy family, but a woman cannot. Even if you are not an ordinary woman, you cannot have the love of two men at the same time.

"Long Jiaojiao, Long Jiaojiao, please stop dreaming. It's impossible for you and Mei Xichen to be together in this life. Unless you give up Shu Rong, but how can that be done? Shu Rong is better to me than Mei Xichen, right? , how could you give up." Thinking of this, Long Jiaojiao's face turned gloomy.

"Long'er, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?" Shu Rong touched her face and asked with great concern.

"No, I'm fine. I was wondering if the leopard would show up?"

"Are you thinking about this problem?" Shu Rong looked at Long Jiaojiao with a suspicious look on his face.

"Yes, otherwise I would have nothing else to think about." Long Jiaojiao's eyes flashed and she deliberately avoided Shu Rong's eyes.

"Long'er, do you remember? I can read minds. I know what you are thinking." Shu Rong whispered quietly into Long Jiaojiao's ear.

"There is no such thing as mind-reading. You didn't lie to me. It's just that you know me too well." Long Jiaojiao pouted her little cherry mouth and said angrily.

"Do you want me to tell you?"

"No, okay, everyone is talking about business." Long Jiaojiao took Shu Rong's hand. She seemed to have figured it out at this moment. She must cherish the people in front of her and not be too greedy as a fox.
