Abandoning concubines and raising children to seize the throne

Guan Xiaoxiao asked: "You seem to be in a good mood today?"

Fangruo picked up the jug and gave Guan Xiao a glass of wine.

"When I see Mr. Guan, I am naturally in a good mood."

Guan Xiao unfolded his robe and sat down on the brocade stool.

"This doesn't look like you anymore."

Fangruo raised his glass and said, "What is true is also false when it is false. Why do we need to find a specific reason? What Mr. Guan likes is this face. It doesn't matter whether he looks like it or not."

Guan Xiao had a drink with her.

"What you said makes some sense. It's just that I like it and it's not just superficial."

Fangruo curled her lips and said with a smile: "I don't have anything intrinsic, so drink."

Watching Guan Xiao finish the drink, Fangruo pursed her lips, and a hint of sadness suddenly flashed in her eyes, but disappeared instantly.

"I wonder why Mr. Yin asked me to come here?"

Guan Xiao put down his wine glass, and Fangruo got him another glass.

"How can I know the things of the Lord?"

She sighed softly and asked, "Is revenge really that important to you?"

Guan Xiao snorted and said, "If all your family members were killed, wouldn't you want to take revenge?"

Fangruo was slightly startled when she heard this.

Her family...had been killed long ago, right in front of her.

The Lord said that if you want to be a qualified killer, you must cut off love.

So, he killed them right in front of her.

Fangruo didn't know if he was a qualified killer, but he knew that the Lord no longer trusted him.

If he returns to Jiangwu, he will definitely become the plaything of those dignitaries.

For the sake of love, she may not want to kill her family in a blood feud, but there will never be a place for her in the Lord's heart.

Thinking of the tragic death of her parents, Fangruo felt heartache for the first time.

For a moment, she really wanted to tell Guan Xiao that as long as he didn't take revenge, she would be willing to roam the world with him, but Fangruo also knew that it was impossible for this man to compromise for her own sake.

"Revenge is as difficult as going to heaven for me, so I won't mention it."

Fangruo glanced at Guan Xiao and continued: "Actually, it may not be a big deal if the Lord comes to you, so you should go back."

Guan Xiao held the wine glass and asked, "Why are you acting weird today?"

Before he finished speaking, his vision suddenly turned black and he fell onto the table with a thud.

Fangruo gripped the wine glass hard, and after a while, she let go.

She carried Guan Xiao to the bed, and as soon as she put it down, a man with a wretched description walked in from outside.

This person is Wang Shun.

He glanced at Fangruo with a squinting look and said with a smile, "Young lady still has some tricks up her sleeve."

He reached out to pat Fangruo's buttocks, but Fangruo had already pulled out the dagger with a cold face.

"The master has already given you the orchid, don't push it further."

Wang Shun chuckled and said: "Who can have too many beauties? If you can have girl Fangruo, that will be a great joy in life."

Fangruo's pretty face became a little colder.

"You'd better not hit my master, otherwise I would rather die than send you to hell."

Wang Shunqian laughed and said: "It's just a joke, girl, don't take it to heart."

He took out a ball of white flour-like stuff from his arms and pressed it hard on Guan Xiao's face.

He thought to himself: If this is done, I will ask Ashlan for you again.

"Then I'll leave first, Miss Fangruo, let's see you another day."

After Wang Shun finished speaking, he went out with a vulgar look on his face.

Fangruo looked at him bitterly, then turned to Guan Xiao who was lying in the room. She was thinking about how he would explain it when he woke up. Suddenly, she heard a burst of rapid footsteps coming from outside. Fangruo's heart skipped a beat and she immediately opened the door and jumped. Out of the backyard.

Outside the door, Ye Zhan has returned to Zuihongyuan with the Red Flame Soldiers.

He turned over and dismounted, and the corners of his snow-white robe flew up as he landed, revealing the unique freedom and ease of a warrior.

"Look carefully at all the beds today and cut them all out."

"Yes."

The Red Flame soldiers kicked in the door and entered the Zuihong Courtyard, and started searching from house to house again.

A soldier soon discovered Guan Xiao and immediately reported back: "Your Majesty, my subordinates found the grandson of Marshal Guan in a room."

"Oh?"

Ye Zhan quickly walked into the room and saw Guan Xiao.

He stretched out his hand and pressed Guan Xiao's jugular. If he was still alive, he was in trouble.

But, why would Guan Xiao come to a place like this?

Ye Zhan pondered for a moment and said to his subordinates: "First send Mr. Guan to the palace and ask a doctor to wake him up. When I return, I will inquire in person."

"Yes."

The soldiers lifted Guan Xiao while the others went over to dismantle the bed.

Ye Zhan was checking from the courtyard when suddenly a soldier came to report.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates took apart the beds in a room, and there is indeed a hidden secret."

"Oh? Take me to take a look."

Ye Zhan followed the soldier to Room No. [-], Tianzi, and sure enough he saw a dark passage under the bed.

Because the bed is high, I didn't notice it before when I came here.

"Go down and take a look right away."

At this time, Youlan and the bearded man were talking in the tunnel. They heard voices above, and they both felt bad.

"Someone must have discovered this place, hurry up."

The two immediately ran out of the corridor along the path.

As soon as he emerged from the courtyard, he saw five or six Red Flame soldiers standing outside the door.

Seeing the two of them, a Red Flame soldier shouted: "The enemy is discovered."

Several people ran in with their swords raised at the same time. Youlan and the bearded man immediately drew out their long swords and stood together with the Red Flame soldiers.

But these few Red Flame Soldiers were not here. With a whistle, another twenty or so came running.

Although the kung fu of these people is not as high as that of You Lan and the two of them, they are very good at combined attacks. However, with just a cup of tea, the two of You Lan failed.

Seeing that it was difficult to escape to the sky, Youlan immediately released the poisonous mist.

The soldiers retreated hurriedly, and the two men took advantage of the chaos to escape.

The Red Flame Soldier immediately separated out a few people to report the matter to Ye Zhan, and the rest continued to search.

Regarding this matter, Ye Zhan has already gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Guan Mengting was drinking iced plum soup in the hall.

Although it is autumn at this time, the autumn tiger has not lost its majesty and the sweltering heat is severe.

The maid was waving her fan and waiting behind her. Guan Mengting's eyes were slightly narrowed, as if she was enjoying it, but also seemed to be thinking about it.

It’s time to look down upon the little emperor.

I thought I could successfully let Ye Jing enter the court this time, but I didn't want to be defeated by an army instead.

Now Ye Jingyao has no choice but to continue pretending to be sick, and this opportunity is gone.

It's really a puddle of mud that can't hold up the wall.

When I was upset, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "Prince Jing is here."

Guan Mengting was slightly startled.

What is he doing here?

The man had stood up from his chair and walked quickly outside the hall.

He said to the white figure who was walking like a dragon and a tiger: "Old minister, see you, Your Majesty!"

"Prime Minister, there is no need to be polite."

Ye Zhan smiled and stretched out his hand to help.

"I came here today because I want to be alone with the Prime Minister."

Guan Mengting was surprised for a while.

"Oh? I wonder who the prince wants?"

Ye Zhan said directly: "This person is Mr. Guan's attendant, named A Chou."
