General

"I want you to help me take over Longxiao Jiangshan."

Lan Xuan slowly stretched out her hand and pressed Lan Jing's thin shoulder, "Lan Jing, you have grown up and become a mature man with courage and responsibility. I believe that with the help of Li Xuan, you can do a good job Unlike me, who almost ruined the foundation of the country, ashamed of my ancestors..."

"Then... how do you arrange it?" Lan Jing frowned, fixedly looking at Lan Xuan's pale handsome face, and continued to ask with a little hesitation.

"I've already arranged everything, so you don't have to worry. Once the news of my death comes out, you can come out and take the throne with my handwritten will..." Lan Xuan stared into his eyes seriously, The eyes are full of warmth, "I only hope that after you ascend the throne, you can save the life of the emperor, treat my son Lanluo kindly, and protect the ancestral foundation of the Longxiao Kingdom and the common people."

"Just for such a ruthless person who is greedy for power and profit? Is it worth it?"

Lan Jing seemed a little angry, and her tone was a bit cold. He really couldn't understand that in order to save this man, Lan Xuan could even give up the throne.

"It's not just because of him." Lan Xuan pursed her lips and smiled, and put a cup of tea in front of Lan Jing, "You know that I only love poetry and painting, and I'm not good at handling government affairs, so these years have been very hard. In fact, saving him is just an excuse for me to make up my mind, in fact... I'm really tired... I want to escape, I hope you don't blame me, and protect my father's country for me."

Lan Jing looked at Lan Xuan motionlessly, trying to see some hesitation in his eyes.He knows Lan Xuan too well. He looks weak on the outside, but he has a stubbornness that is different from ordinary people in his bones.At this moment, his expression is firm, and he does not appear to be impulsive in a joke. This decision is probably the result of his deliberation.

"Is there no other way..." Lan Jing lowered her head, bit her lips worriedly, put her fingers on her thighs, and slowly rubbed the hem of the brocade skirt trimmed with gold thread.

"Yeah." Lan Xuan nodded, bent his brows and eyes seemingly relaxed, held his arm tightly and begged, "Lan Jing...promise me."

"Brother Huang..." Lan Jing sighed invisibly, looked back at Li Xuan again, and said in a low voice with some hesitation, "I know that the things you have decided will not be changed easily, but you must first promise me There are only two conditions, otherwise I will be hard-pressed..."

"Okay, tell me." Seeing that Lan Jing let go, Lan Xuan immediately nodded and said.

"First, I don't want the throne." Lan Jing looked at Li Xuan sideways, and then said seriously, "There will be no third person between me and the general, so it is difficult to have an heir in this life. What's more, I I'm used to being an idle prince, and I'm afraid I don't have the ability to suddenly shoulder such a heavy burden. Therefore, it's good to leave the throne to Luo'er. If you don't worry, you can choose some capable ministers in the court to assist me, the general and I I will do my best to protect him!"

"What about the second one?" Lan Xuan frowned, and continued to ask noncommittally.

"Second, tell me where you live in seclusion, so that I can find you at any time after the matter subsides. I think...you don't want to miss the news of Luo'er and the queen mother, do you?"

"..."

Lan Xuan was silent for a while, just staring quietly at the candlelight dancing between the tables, the bright flame quietly burning in his amber eyes, like the most beautiful starlight in the night sky.

Li Xuan lowered his head and thought about what the two had said, but never said a word.Lan Xuan wanted to save Lan Zheng, so doing so was probably the best way, and Lan Jing's refusal to inherit the throne did have his own considerations.He is in a high position, and he is too tall. He doesn't want Lan Jing to bear such a heavy burden.Moreover, the absence of an heir will cause many people to have unreasonable thoughts and lead to turmoil in the imperial power, but he can't imagine Lan Jing being surrounded by powerful officials full of women...

"I can promise you." After a long time, Lan Xuan sighed slightly, and compromised, "But Luo'er is still so young... I'm really afraid that he will be like me back then."

"Brother Huang." Lan Jing raised the corners of her lips lightly, and said seriously to him, "I am not the original regent, and if I am here, there will never be the original regent again..."
