"Uncle Huang." The little emperor nodded towards Ying Yuan: "I don't know what the Uncle Huang came to mean?"

Obviously, the scene where Ying Yuan saw them holding hands was deliberately planned by Ying Chenkun, and Xu Jiu could see the corner of his mouth grinning uncontrollably from the side.

"I have something important to report to the emperor." Ying Yuan said, and raised his head to look at Xu Jiu, which meant that what he was going to say next was very confidential, and Master Xiao Zhuo was not suitable to be here.

Ying Chenkun didn't have any objections, and his attitude could even be called amiable. He obviously enjoyed Ying Yuan's deflated look.

He said to Xu Jiu: "Then Yunxiao, why don't you go see Concubine Lan first. The concubine misses you, and has been nagging me to see you these days."

Concubine Lan Gui is the original owner's pregnant twin sister.

Xu Jiu responded: "Yes, thank you Your Majesty. That minister...resigned."

Before leaving, he raised his head and glanced at Ying Yuan, but the other party's eyes never looked in his direction from the beginning to the end.

Xu Jiu was led by the eunuch to the depths of the harem.

Courtiers are not allowed to enter the inner palace without permission, let alone meet with concubines in the harem, even if they are compatriots and elder sisters. They must be pardoned by the emperor, or they can only see each other by handing over a sign at a specific time for approval.

But as the emperor's favorite, the original owner naturally didn't have so many constraints.

Before that, he always came whenever he wanted, and saw him whenever he wanted. His elder sister, Concubine Lan Gui, was even more beloved by thousands of people. It should have been closed by now.

The information that Xu Jiu had learned before also contained some information about Concubine Lan, so she had already remembered the situation of her "brother sister" by heart.

He came all the way to the harem, and before he reached the gate of Concubine Lan's courtyard, he met a person in the corridor.

It is Ying Chenhao, the wise king who looks free and easy but is becoming more and more calm.

"My minister sees the virtuous king." Xu Jiu saluted him according to the regulations of the palace.

"Excuse me!" Xian Wang stopped him, and asked with great enthusiasm: "Is Yun Xiao here to see Concubine Lan?"

"Yes." Xu Jiu didn't dare to say anything in front of this smiling tiger prince. The two brothers of the Ying family, if Ying Chenkun is stupid, but Ying Chenhao is definitely a shrewd person. Keep a low profile, know how to hibernate...

"Then Yunxiao came from my brother?"

It's a pity that he didn't want to say more, but King Xian held him tight.

Xu Jiu had no choice but to say: "Yes, His Majesty called the ministers into the palace just now." As he spoke, Xu Jiu remembered the scene where Ying Chenkun touched his hand just now, and couldn't help but itch his teeth with anger.

——The reason why he swallowed his anger now is because of the mission. If it wasn't for the mission... I don't care if you are the emperor or the king of heaven, I would have to put on a sack and beat him up!

Xian Wang smiled and said: "It seems that you and my brother have reconciled, that's good."

"???" What's the difference? How old are you...

Xu Jiu laughed: "My Majesty and I are not what you, the virtuous king, think."

The virtuous king immediately put on a straight face: "Yun Xiao, this is your fault, how did the emperor treat you? This king can't see it? So I also want to persuade you here. Now the emperor brother and the emperor uncle are in conflict. , you and Uncle Huang... it's better to keep a proper distance, brother Mo's heart is chilled."

Xu Jiu suddenly raised his head to look at him, his gaze was no longer the usual ignorance of the world, but unprecedentedly sharp: "Is it the prince who told the emperor about my private meeting with the Prince Regent?"

"Yun Xiao, what are you talking about?" Xian Wang put on a surprised expression.

Xu Jiu sneered secretly in his heart. When 888 gave him melons, he brought some other information about the sage king by the way, and he already knew about it.

Ying Chenhao's people saw him and Ying Yuan coming out of the restaurant one after the other, and immediately reported to their master.Fortunately, when the two of them went to the brothel that night, they kept a low profile and went through the back door, otherwise the matter might really have become a big mess.

It's just that I don't know why King Xian ran to the emperor to sue for fear of chaos in the world...

Xu Jiu also didn't expect that he was too lazy to argue with him, but this person was endless.

He said to Shangxian King's forcibly calm eyes: "Your Highness and the Emperor are brothers, and you will tell Your Majesty what you know. There is nothing to say. But His Highness King Xian's minions are all over the capital, and the entire capital has your eyeliner." I just happened to go to the same restaurant for dinner with the Prince Regent on the same night, and the prince knew about it, which is really amazing... I just don’t know what the emperor would think if he knew that the prince has such a great ability?"

"Yun Xiao! What are you talking about!" Xian Wang put on a shocked expression.

Xu Jiu didn't talk to him any more, and just bowed and said goodbye.

The little eunuch who followed him and led him to Concubine Lan Gui's place was someone close to the emperor, presumably this father-in-law would convey to the emperor what he said to the virtuous king today.

【You are openly fighting against King Xian! 】888 said cowardly.

"It's not that I want to start a war with him, it's that he is endless." Xu Jiu said impatiently.

Someone wants to use him and make him a tool to sow discord between the regent and the emperor. He will naturally not condone it when he finds out.

Although Xu Jiu is not good at causing trouble, but if he stabs himself with a knife, if he can still treat it as nothing, that would be too aggrieved!

And after he said so, it is estimated that the suspicious little emperor can think carefully about whether he has been used to instigate these foolish things he did to confront the regent when he is free.

The father-in-law next to the emperor led him to Concubine Lan's residence, and after receiving a little reward from Concubine Lan, he left with a smile on his face.

It was the first time for Xu Jiu to see her favored and high-ranking elder sister, and she realized that they were indeed twins. Concubine Lan and the original owner really looked alike, but there was a trace of heroism between her brows, making her look even more charming.

"Yun Xiao, you are here, sit down quickly." Concubine Lan Gui's voice was soft and weak, she hurriedly got up from her seat when she saw him coming, and pulled him over to sit down.

She is just three months pregnant, she is already thin, and she still can't show her figure, but Xu Jiu has never been in contact with such a delicate woman, and she is still a little unaccustomed, and she is afraid that she will bump into her again if she leaves in a hurry.

"I've come to see you, how is your sister doing?" Xu Jiu asked her.

Concubine Lan Gui in the data is a gentle woman. Because she was born tall and favored, she has been living a life of indifference to the world, which is not quite the same as other concubines who compete for beauty in the harem.

She has had a very good relationship with the original owner since she was a child. Even though she is only a younger sister who was born a moment earlier, she always gives way to Zhuo Yunxiao. It's hard not to like her.

"I'm fine." Zhuo Yunlan said, "It's you, I heard that you were sick a while ago? Was it beaten by your father? I asked my father, but he didn't want to talk to me..."

"Ahem, it's nothing, I just said something disrespectful, and I was taught a lesson by my father."

"The disrespectful words... are about the emperor?" Zhuo Yunlan's voice trembled.

"...Yes." Xu Jiu replied in a low voice.

As she spoke, she looked at Zhuo Yunlan's face.He suddenly remembered that the reason why he was taught by Master Zhuo was that he wanted to overthrow the little emperor, and this little emperor was Zhuo Yunlan's husband-in-law.

Guilty is not a guilty conscience, I just feel that the future will be difficult.

——For the women in the harem, no matter what kind of person the emperor is, he is also their husband.Moreover, the vast majority of women in ancient times were not able to remarry. If the emperor was overthrown, the situation of these concubines would be very embarrassing.

If my elder sister insists on standing on the emperor's side... Will I really have the heart to ignore her then?

Unexpectedly, Zhuo Yunlan was thinking about something else, she said: "Yun Xiao, you are not young anymore, I have mentioned to father many times that I want to find a wife for you. You will be the emperor of the family I won't hold you like this anymore... It would be even better if there is an errand that can go out of Beijing for a year or so..."

As she was talking, Concubine Lan Gui unexpectedly began to cry faintly, with an expression of ready to cry.

In recent years, it has been said in the palace that Concubine Lan Gui's special favor is due to her younger brother who was favored by the emperor. Everyone said that she is more expensive than younger sisters, that's why the relationship between siblings is so good.

But both Xu Jiu and the original owner knew that Concubine Lan Gui had always been thinking about how to help her younger brother out of the sea of ​​suffering, and she never had the idea of ​​pushing her younger brother into the fire pit for her own status.

Many people can pretend to be decent in front of others, but their behavior behind the scenes cannot deceive others.

Xu Jiu knew that Concubine Lan really cared for her younger brother wholeheartedly, so she felt embarrassed.

He quickly persuaded the imperial concubine to not think too much, even after thinking about it for a long time, he finally chose to tell the truth to Zhuo Yunlan, telling her everything about assisting Ying Yuan.

"Yun Xiao, you... deliberately plotting rebellion, this is a felony of beheading everyone!" Concubine Lan Gui was frightened, and it took her a long time to speak: "You have never participated in this kind of fight before, why now..."

Xu Jiu was silent. He didn't want to talk about this matter at first, but he just talked here in a hurry. Out of respect for the original owner's sister and as a reminder, he still said his purpose.

Xu Jiu silently said sorry to the imperial concubine in her heart.

Although it is said that the young emperor is fatuous and immoral, to overthrow him is worthy of the common people in the world, but if he didn't come here for a mission today, even if the emperor is fatuous and incompetent, he, a commoner, would not have such thoughts.

So the reason why he wants to do this is entirely out of his own selfishness.

And this kind of selfishness is likely to harm a woman's life, even if the other party is not real, Xu Jiu will want to say sorry to her.

"Your thinking is too immature." The imperial concubine said: "The regent has devoted himself to assisting the emperor all these years and never betrayed his will. I don't even believe that he will rebel. How much do you know about him?"

"I don't know." Xu Jiu murmured.

He really doesn't know, the relationship between him and Ying Yuan is also a mess now.

It's just that the court battle is really too difficult for him, and there are too many interests to consider and weigh. Compared with the two sides, the male protagonist's thoughts are not so important.

But one thing is very important.Xu Jiu said: "The prince has no intention of rebelling, but in my opinion, if the emperor forces him like this again, anything is possible."

Concubine Lan Gui frowned suddenly when she heard the words.

Although the harem cannot be involved in politics, the ups and downs of the harem concubines are directly concerned with the previous court. Even the noble concubine who has nothing to do with the world knows something about the court.

The emperor suppressed the regent in many ways. It was not a day or two, but once or twice. To be honest, not only Yun Xiao, but also many courtiers complained about the regent's injustice.If the prince hadn't thought wholeheartedly that the emperor would never rebel, and there was no sign of rebellion at all, the other ministers would have come out to stand in line.

Although she knew this was the truth, the imperial concubine still said: "You should try your best not to get involved in this kind of thing. My sister doesn't want you to be rich, but I just want you to be safe and well."

"I'm worried about you, sister. If the emperor continues to make trouble like this, causing dissatisfaction among the officials and supporting a new lord to ascend the throne, what will you do then?"

The imperial concubine's finger holding the silk handkerchief trembled slightly, but she still pretended to be calm, and said gracefully: "You don't have to worry about me, as long as you protect yourself and nothing happens, my sister will be satisfied."

Xu Jiu: "..."

Although there was no abnormal behavior, Xu Jiu knew that Zhuo Yunlan was afraid that he would get involved in right and wrong.

In the end, it was a matter of horoscope, and he didn't want to scare the other party by talking too much, so he could only take one step at a time.

After staying with the imperial concubine for a while, he left the palace.

After leaving the palace, he didn't do anything else, so he hurriedly sent someone to secretly ask Yingyuan to come out to meet him.

The place where they met was the same restaurant where he first invited the hero to dinner.

Although there were many people in the restaurant, it was because there were too many people, so he agreed to come from afar, and the two of them entered the small room one after the other without being noticed.

In the evening, Xu Jiu ordered a table of wine and dishes. There were not many types of ancient condiments, and most of the food was very bland. People like Xu Jiu who only like to eat hot pot are not used to it.

But because the ingredients are more precious, only this kind of big restaurant can have high-grade meat dishes, which can be a real treat for people.

When the food was just on the table, Ying Yuan pushed the door open and walked in.

Xu Jiu poured wine for him as usual, but Yuan didn't sit down in response, but just stood at the door and said, "I don't know what the so-called Master Zhuo sent to invite King Ben to come."

The regent's voice did not fluctuate, and his expression was extremely cold.Xu Jiu counted with his fingers. They have been fighting coldly for almost two weeks, yet he is still angry?

——Isn’t it because you came to see me secretly in the middle of the night, and I didn’t greet you with a smile on my face?Why is it still not good, this temper is too big!

Xu Jiu felt that this was not good.

Too much vengeance hurts the body!
