Your Highness, want to run after flirting?

After Sima Li resigned, although Su Danchen was heartbroken, he soon cheered up under Lan Ziqing's comfort.

During the day, he was busy taking care of Concubine Li, who was getting seriously ill. At night, he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, making soup for Lan Ziqing to recuperate his body.

Since Taishi Chao was punished, the Chao family was exiled outside the customs, and the Sima family lost Sima Li as a pillar and became a mob.

The two great families fell, and the court of Yangguo was in disarray in an instant. It was experiencing unprecedented turmoil. Some senior officials took the opportunity to win people's hearts and cultivate power, while some young officials had their own calculations in their hearts. The already complicated and turbulent situation became more and more chaotic.

But in this accident, the ninth prince Su Jiuxi, who was demoted to the frontier, and the tenth prince Su Qizhi, who was originally not favored, became the choices of the princes who were respected by the ministers.

Especially the voice of the Ninth Prince is the highest.

Although the Sima clan is in decline, as the saying goes, a centipede is dead but not stiff. If the third prince becomes the crown prince, it will not benefit them at all except for the Sima clan to revive and make a comeback.

And the Ninth Prince's mother was originally an unfavored princess in Rao Country, who had no one to rely on in Yang Country.Not to mention the ten princes, the first mother, Liang Concubine, was born in a humble background. She was originally a clothes-washing servant girl. After winning the emperor's one-night favor, she was left behind. middle.

Both of them are in a weak position, there is no one in the court to support them, and there is no family power behind them. No matter which one of them ascends the throne and proclaims the emperor in the future, he will definitely be grateful to the minister who helped him wholeheartedly that day.Giving timely help is always better than icing on the cake.

As for why the Ninth Prince is more popular than the Tenth Prince, the Ninth Prince holds the military power anyway, and has some relationship with the Rao Kingdom, but the Tenth Prince is a real loner, who has neither military power nor foreign relatives, and is naturally romantic and cannot be favored by Emperor Yang. He proclaims himself emperor... The degree of difficulty is really too high.

All the officials were better at calculating, but Lan Ziqing was so busy.

Emperor Yangdi went hunting in the paddock, and the crown prince was named Jian Guo, but he actually didn't care about the affairs of the court and was indifferent to the outside world.

The memorials high on the wall in the court hall are all piled up on Prime Minister Lan Ziqing's desk. During the day, he has to deal with a constant stream of ministers, and at night, he puts on his clothes and buryes his head in the desk.

Because of Concubine Li, Su Danchen himself was physically and mentally exhausted, but every time Lan Ziqing coaxed him to go to bed first, he refused to say anything, and hugged him tightly from behind so that he could lean against him In the arms, not so tired.

Occasionally, Su Danchen was extremely sleepy, and his head was lightly resting on Lan Ziqing's shoulder, and he let out a long and even breathing sound between his nostrils, and kept his arms around his waist tightly.

Behind him was the man's warm and generous chest.

Under the bright lights, Lan Ziqing's eyes were soft, and his heart was filled with tenderness and sweetness.

After a few days like this, Lan Ziqing finally settled those ministers, and there were fewer and fewer memorials before the case.Due to Concubine Li's stable condition, Su Danchen's health improved day by day, and he became much more relaxed and happy, so he didn't have to run to the palace all day.

After the two of them are free, they plan to go out for a boat ride on the lake, so that they can relax.

Before leaving, news suddenly came from the palace that Emperor Yangdi was ambushed in the paddock, was seriously injured and unconscious, and the servants around him had already escorted him back to the palace overnight.

A few of the ambushing assassins escaped, and a dozen or so were captured, and all of them were thrown into prisons, where they were tortured and interrogated the mastermind behind the scenes.

I heard that group of assassins were sent by the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Su Danchen knew nothing about these entanglements. After he heard this, Junyan immediately became anxious, and even ignored Lan Ziqing's obvious startle.

Suddenly discovering such a change, it was impossible to go on a boat trip on the lake. After talking to Lan Ziqing worriedly, he immediately rushed to the palace with his servant.

Lan Ziqing stood there, worried.

He was not worried about Emperor Yangdi, but worried that the assassin who assassinated Emperor Yangdi was really a person from the palace.

Lan Ziqing frowned.

Impossible.

Now that the time is not yet ripe, the prince will never startle the snake.

But if it wasn't His Highness the Crown Prince, it was an assassin sent by someone from the palace.

Just as I couldn't figure it out, I suddenly heard a report from my servant Ah San.

"Prime Minister, the National Teacher is here to invite you."

Lan Ziqing's face changed slightly.

The prince is back.

"Yan Qingchen, don't hide in there like a turtle, come out if you have the ability!"

"I saved your life that day, and I even saved your sweetheart, so you can repay me like this!"

"Do you think I'm easy to bully, you ungrateful villain, get out of here!"

As soon as Lan Ziqing got out of the sedan chair, there were shouts and curses in his ears, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and when he looked up, there was a seductive young man in red standing in front of Wei Mansion, who was yelling and cursing in the street like a shrew with his hips on his hips.

It turned out to be an old friend.

Lan Ziqing was naturally aware of the previous grievances between Bangouyue and Yan Qingchen, and she pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Bangouyue, what are you doing?"

Bangouyue didn't expect Lan Ziqing to appear suddenly, her ears turned suspiciously red, but her seductive face was full of gnashed teeth.

"I was forced by that bastard Yan Qingchen. If he didn't hide from me, how could I have made such a foolish plan?"

Lan Ziqing said with a smile: "Brother Yan has always disliked being stalked by others. If you do this, even if you do call him out, the gain will not be worth the loss."

Bangouyue's face was frustrated, "I know, but he always hides and refuses to see me, I really have no other way."

Suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, the beautiful amber pupils stared straight at Lan Ziqing, and said with a smile, "They say you are the smartest person, so you must be more capable than me. If you are willing to help me, I, Half Hook Moon, will definitely repay you."

Lan Ziqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and when he didn't know how to answer, there was a "squeak" sound suddenly, the gate of the Wei Mansion opened, and a handsome young man in black with a black sword on his waist came out expressionlessly.

Under Bangouyue's surprised eyes, he came to the two of them, greeted Lan Ziqing coldly, and left without even looking at Bangouyue.

Bangouyue was not annoyed at all, her seductive face regained its brilliance immediately, and left behind him noisily.

Lan Ziqing witnessed all this, smiled and shook her head.

At this time, a woman in a green skirt came out of the Wei mansion, bowed to him with red eyes, "Mr. Lan, the prince is waiting in the hall." Her voice was hoarse with the obvious crying.

Lan Ziqing saw her appearance in his eyes, his heart sank, bad thoughts came to him, he followed her into the mansion without delay.

Bypassing the rockery and beautiful water, passing through the pear forest path, and arriving at the hall, Lan Ziqing was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The Xiemei young man in crimson clothes surrounded the prince courteously, serving tea and water for the prince almost in a fawning manner, squeezing his shoulders and beating his back, and behaved with indescribable intimacy.What is strange is that the prince just glanced at him coldly, and Juechen's brows and eyes were calm, as if he had gotten used to it.

Su Qizhi was not surprised at all when he saw Lan Ziqing coming in, Xie Si's long eyebrows were raised playfully, and he greeted with a chuckle, "Lan Xiang."

Lan Ziqing was startled, but on the surface his expression remained calm, he cupped his hands and said, "I see the Tenth Highness, I didn't know that the Tenth Highness was here too."

A complicated look flashed across his eyebrows.

He is clearly the prime minister of the Yang Kingdom, and it is really suspicious to go to the mansion of the national teacher in private, but the prince does not avoid suspicion in front of the ten princes, what is his plan.

Between the Crown Prince and the Tenth Prince...

Lan Ziqing choked for breath, and was so startled that cold sweat broke out on his back, he didn't dare to think about it any more.

There was a muffled cough from above.

Lan Ziqing followed the prestige and found that Wei Lijue had coughed up a big mouthful of blood!

Only then did he realize that something was wrong with the prince, his face was as pale as snow, with almost no blood, as if he had suffered a serious illness, and his whole body was actually weaker and thinner than that day in Xuzhou.

Thinking of Luxiao's eyes turning red from crying, Lan Ziqing's heart sank. Did something happen to the prince after he left?

Seeing Su Qizhi nervously surrounding the prince, Lan Ziqing frowned and thought twice before saying, "National Teacher...you must take care of yourself."

I don't know what Wei Lijue said to Su Qizhi, after Su Qizhi handed him the medicine at the side, he whispered a few words in his ear, straightened up and walked out.

When passing by Lan Ziqing, she still had that flirtatious and frivolous look, Xifeng hid a deep meaning in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lan, Xiao Wang will take a step first."

He hooked his lips and walked outside.

The two of them were so intimate that Lan Ziqing was terrified. After Su Qizhi walked away, Lan Ziqing looked at the man in white who was sitting up and drinking medicine, and carefully worded his words, hesitantly said: " His Royal Highness, the Tenth Prince, he..."

A voice as cold as water came from above.

"Everything is as Lan Qing thinks in her heart."

Seeing the crown prince's confession, Lan Ziqing was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Wei Lijue looked at him, put down the medicine bowl, a dark color flashed in those deep and cold eyes, and her beautiful thin lips gently He opened his mouth and said, "After Lan Qing left, many things happened in Xuzhou."

The beautiful face turned even paler. After pursing her lips tightly, she sighed inaudibly and said, "The world is unpredictable, so it's worth not mentioning it."

After a pause, he said again: "This person has his own measure and will not affect the grand plan."

Hearing what he said, Lan Ziqing naturally didn't dare to ask any more questions, and instead said, "I wonder if Your Highness has heard about Su Huang's assassination."

Wei Lijue nodded, his always cold eyes sparkled secretly, "Gu summoned Lan Qing for this matter. The assassin was sent by the emperor's uncle, and Gu also reunited with the emperor's uncle not long ago, and learned that For so many years, the emperor's uncle has been secretly plotting to assassinate Suhuang."

After Lan Ziqing heard this, the mystery in her heart was finally solved, she nodded and said: "So that's the case." Recalling the conversation with the crown prince that day, she added: "Since Your Highness and Prince Gong have reunited, then Your Highness Princess..."

Wei Lijue sighed, "After Uncle Wang escaped from the palace, he handed over Miss Wang to a farmer to raise her. After so many years, even he doesn't know where Miss Wang is now."

Lan Ziqing knew that the princess was in exile, and it had always been a pain in the prince's heart, so she sighed secretly, and after a few words of consolation without loss of proportion, said seriously: "What is your Highness planning for those captured assassins?"

Hearing this, a dark light flashed in Wei Lijue's cold eyes as deep as water.

He took out a piece of jade pendant which could be seen to be of great value from his bosom, and handed it to Lan Ziqing, and at the same time, a cold voice sounded slowly.

"Does Lan Qing recognize this jade pendant?"

Lan Ziqing became puzzled, took it over and took a closer look, it was a suet-colored Hetian jade pendant, and the word "jade" was engraved on the jade pendant with the skill of a craftsman.

Lan Ziqing only took one look, then his expression changed.

Every prince of the Yang Kingdom who is born will receive a Hetian jade pendant with his own name engraved on it. Achen's piece has the word "Chen" on it, and this piece has a "jade" on it. The owner is clearly... Suyu, the crown prince of Yang Kingdom!

"May I ask Your Highness, where did this jade pendant come from?"

Seeing his reaction, Wei Lijue narrowed his cold eyes, "Does Lan Qing recognize this jade pendant?"

"Oh no!"

Lan Ziqing subconsciously denied it, seeing Wei Lijue's cold eyes staring at her inquisitively, her heart trembled.

After settling his mind, he said calmly, "I must not recognize you."

He didn't intend to conceal it, but he just denied it at the first moment, so he couldn't say anything more, so he continued.

Fortunately, Wei Lijue didn't ask much, but just talked about how he got this jade pendant.

It turned out that after the assassins who assassinated Emperor Yangdi were arrested and imprisoned, Wei Lijue sent people to rescue them. Yesterday, the people he sent sent news that the assassins had been rescued by a masked man earlier. At that time, there was only this jade pendant left in front of the prison, which should have been accidentally dropped by the masked man.

Lan Ziqing pondered for a moment, a deep and unfathomable light flashed in her black eyes, she cupped her hands and said, "Your Highness, can you hand over this jade pendant to the minister, and Rong Chen will take it back to the mansion for a closer inspection."

Wei Lijue nodded.

After talking about this matter, Wei Lijue suddenly mentioned the matter of the portrait, his eyes flickered, and he only said that the portrait would take a few days, Lan Ziqing promised, and then offered to leave.

Green silk sent him out of the house.

After leaving the hall and coming to the rockery pool, Lan Ziqing couldn't help asking her what happened between the crown prince and the tenth prince.

Luxiao's eyes were red, and tears were streaming down her eyes, she cried and said: "Your Highness, he asked for two hundred punishment sticks, and after being tortured, he knelt down at the Siguo Cliff for three whole days."

Lan Ziqing's face changed drastically in shock.

People under the crown prince made mistakes, and punishment is a common thing, but Si Guoya is a nightmare in everyone's heart. If he did not make an unforgivable mistake, he would not use Si Guoya in a leisurely manner.

That's because a group of blood-sucking crows have gathered under the cliff of Siguo for many years!

Those who were punished to Siguoya would have their acupoints tapped in advance, and they would be thrown off the bottom of the cliff immobile, allowing blood-sucking crows to peck at their own flesh and blood bit by bit!

The piercing pain and endless despair made people feel like they were in hell.

Every time he is punished to go to Siguoya, even if he only stays for an hour, he is close to death.

Prince he...

Lan Ziqing's heart skipped a beat, as heavy as iron.

No wonder the prince was hurt so badly.

"The crown prince did this... for the sake of the ten princes?"

Lan Ziqing's voice trembled uncontrollably.

Luxiao took a deep look at Lan Ziqing, choked up, and said cryptically, "Lan Xiang, do you know that there is a poison in the world called 'Jinhuan'."

Lan Ziqing was shocked and froze in place.

Life is proud to be thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Have fun, the strongest aphrodisiac in the world.

People who are hit by 'Jinhuan' either have sex with others, or die from bleeding from their seven orifices.
