General

Some of the yellowed cloud pattern paper was gently unfolded by Lan Jing, and lines of elegant and small characters were clearly presented in front of him.

"As expected, it was written by my father..." Lan Jing glanced sideways at Li Xuan, and then continued to read every word carefully from beginning to end, but inadvertently, her brows gradually frowned.

"how?"

Li Xuan saw Lan Jing raised her head suddenly in astonishment, bit her lip and said nothing, so she immediately asked curiously.

"Father said...the regent is not of real royal blood..." Lan Jing slowly looked at Li Xuan, raised her hand to put the secret letter in his hand, and explained with some hesitation, "He said that the emperor's grandfather was When Jiangnan was visiting, he adopted a baby boy, in order to prevent him from feeling inferior because of his background when facing other princes, he claimed that he was born with a woman outside the palace, and because of the loss of his mother, he was taken back to the palace to be raised."

"Thinking about it now, Lan Zheng's pupils are as black as lacquer. As the royal blood of Longxiao Kingdom, no one questioned this at the beginning?" Li Xuan seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and asked in confusion.

Lan Jing looked at him and shook her head seriously: "Among the princes of all dynasties, occasionally there will be people without amber phoenix eyes, so it doesn't arouse too much suspicion."

Li Xuan lowered his head and read the secret letter carefully, then refolded the letter paper and held it in his hands, gradually falling into some kind of contemplation.

"The emperor's grandfather only told his father about this matter when he succeeded to the throne. I think... in the end, he was afraid that the royal blood would be damaged?" Lan Jing looked at the candlelight on the table and pondered thoughtfully. After a while, he analyzed it himself.

"Actually, the former emperor's intentions are very clear. His majesty is weak by nature and is too easily influenced by others. He gave Lan Zheng enough power to assist him, but he was afraid that this power would threaten him. So he left this suicide note, Letting you take it out when Lan Zheng dies, resigns, or usurps the throne is to prevent him from usurping power and protect His Majesty while keeping the secret." Li Xuan also nodded in agreement, "No matter what method, as long as If he leaves the court, then this suicide note is useless. But if he really covets the throne and is ready to take action, then this suicide note can make him lose everything."

"When my father made Lanzheng the regent, I originally thought it was because the emperor had the best relationship with him, and he was really capable." Lan Jing sighed, and continued quietly, "Now it seems that, Perhaps the more reason is that the regent has no possibility of succession, right? Although the emperor's temperament is somewhat similar to that of his father, as an emperor, he obviously lacks a lot of skills to control people..."

"Now that Lan Zheng has been judged to be popular, it's probably something the late emperor didn't expect." Li Xuan saw that he seemed a little sad when he recalled the past, so he slowly took his shoulders into his arms and said in a low voice, "How should we deal with this confidential letter?"

"Uncle Huang was dispatched to the northwest, and there is no possibility of a comeback, so this secret letter will be useless. It is better to put it in the mansion and collect it properly. There is no need to mention this matter to others."

"Hmm." Li Xuan stroked Fu Lanjing's cheek, and by the candlelight, the originally warm face was covered with deep fatigue.Although Lan Luo is sensible, he is only a child after all. Lan Xuan's "funeral", the education of the new emperor, the appointment and removal of courtiers, and many other matters have to be handled by him alone, which is really hard.

"I'm tired." Lan Jing put the letter away again, turned around and hugged Li Xuan's waist, and whispered against his chest.

That docile appearance with a bit of coquettishness is like a well-behaved cat.

"Then... I'll go get water, and I'll personally take care of you to take a bath and go to bed today, how about it?" Li Xuan raised his lips, with a hint of pampering hidden in his tone.

……

The early morning sun had just bloomed brightly in the sky, and a few rays of gentle sunlight penetrated through the window paper.

Li Xuan opened his eyes, and saw Lan Jing was sleeping soundly in his arms, with her white hands hugging his arms, and the warm breath slowly spread around him.

It's time to practice again.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace, no matter how busy he is, he never slacks off in his daily morning exercises.

Li Xuan carefully pulled Lan Jing away from him, and got off the couch lightly, but suddenly felt that there seemed to be someone outside the palace door, and his breath became difficult to detect in the intentional restraint.

who! ?

Li Xuan furrowed his brows tightly, and immediately quietly picked up his sword from the side of the couch, and walked lightly towards the outer hall.
