General

In the gorgeous East Nuan Pavilion of Longxiao Hall, several pots of silver frost charcoal are burning vigorously, and the fiery red charcoal covered by the golden cage emits bursts of warmth, and occasionally there are a few small crackling sounds.

In the middle of the main hall, a table full of gold cups and jade dishes was placed.Lan Xuan sat on the main seat, holding an exquisite white jade jug, smiled and filled the jade cup in Lan Jing's hand, looked him up and down, and said softly: "You are thin Yes, you have suffered a lot at the border, right?"

"Yes, Brother Huang~" Lan Jing responded coquettishly, raising her glass with both hands to Lan Xuan, "I respect you with this cup, thank you Brother Huang for not holding me accountable for leaving without saying goodbye."

Seeing Lan Jing raised her hand and drank the fine wine in the glass, Lan Xuan shook her head lightly and said with a smile: "I know you can't stay in the imperial city honestly. How can you be guilty of your contribution?"

After finishing the words, he mentioned the jade chopsticks and put two pieces of venison in his bowl: "Eat more, or the queen mother will feel distressed when she sees it."

"Brother Xie Huang." Lan Jing put the wine glass lightly on the table, picked up the bowl and ate a few mouthfuls, only to find that Lan Xuan's face was also somewhat haggard.These days, in the face of Long Xiao Country's internal and external troubles, how much better can he be than himself?

At this moment, a respectful notification suddenly came from outside the palace door: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Lan Xuan glanced sideways at Lan Jing first, then turned her gaze back, and said lowly to the outside of the hall: "Come in."

"Your Majesty, Chunqiu has been caught." A black-clothed guard swiftly pushed the door open and kowtowed in a low voice before Lanxuan years ago, "Your Majesty has already conducted a preliminary interrogation on the way back to the city. Chu is in command."

age?

Lan Jing looked at the two in confusion, but never made a sound, just continued to listen to their conversation carefully.

"Very good." Lan Xuan nodded in satisfaction, "Did he recruit?"

"Recruited some." The man in black looked stern, and his tone was very serious. He lowered his eyes respectfully, and said to Lan Xuan seriously, "He has admitted that he is a secret agent sent by Fengyu Kingdom, and Sending news to Feng Yu for the Prince Regent many times..."

"……This is impossible?!"

Lan Xuan's eyes widened in astonishment, and she retorted loudly to the guards in disbelief: "No matter what, Uncle Huang, he is all for Long Xiao, and will never do anything to collude with the enemy and betray the country!"

"Heh." Lan Jing frowned, recalling what Lan Jin said at the beginning, she couldn't help snorting, "Brother Huang is so sure?"

"Uncle Huang controls power, but after all, he is of Long Xiao's bloodline. He is now an extremely human minister, so what's the benefit of cooperating with Feng Yu?" Lan Xuan retorted displeasedly, then turned to look at the black-clothed guard, and asked , "Have you investigated clearly?! Or, is that little eunuch accusing the uncle of the emperor?"

A few traces of panic flashed across the guard's eyes, and he immediately knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and replied: "Chunqiu really explained it like this, as for whether it is true or not, we have to wait for Commander Chu to continue to find out."

"...Brother Huang, do you remember that when you were seriously ill a few years ago, Feng Yu Guoshi Yuanming appeared in Longxiao Palace, and had a close relationship with the emperor?" Seeing that he stubbornly trusted Lan Zheng, Lan Jing asked Simply open up and ask him directly about this matter.

"I've never seen it before." Lan Xuan shook her head lightly, "I only vaguely remember that I was seriously ill at that time, and it was the emperor's uncle who searched for famous doctors to heal me..."

"Where did the two imperial doctors who treated you go?" Lan Jing sighed slightly, "Why did they disappear for no reason?"

"Dead." Lan Xuan did not shy away from Lan Jing, and said bluntly, "Uncle Huang felt that their treatment was ineffective and delayed the illness...so..."

"Is it the ineffective treatment, or do you know too much?" Lan Jing sneered, shifted her gaze to the black-clothed guard, and said coldly, "Let's wait for Commander Chu to decide what the truth is!"

Seeing this, Lan Xuan had no choice but to raise her chin at the black-clothed guard calmly, and the man bowed and retreated.He picked up the white jade jug again, refilled Lanjing's wine glass, and pushed it in front of him: "I respect you and Li Xuan for this glass. Thank you for protecting the Longxiao country and saving the people of our country!"

"Thank you, Brother Huang." Lan Jing felt a little displeased in her heart, but she didn't dare to show too much on her face. Lan Zheng has done all kinds of bad things these years, but at this moment, Lan Xuan still believes in him inexplicably?

"After lunch, I'm going to visit the Queen Mother..." Lan Jing held up her wine glass and also paid respects to Lan Xuan, and said with an excuse.

"Well, eat more." Lan Xuan arranged some dishes for him with her own hands, and stared tenderly into his eyes, "The queen mother has missed you a long time ago."

But for the first time, he felt a kind of indescribable alienation in the eyes of this younger brother who used to have no city power and was outspoken...
