The next day.

Before Xiao Xingyu had time to go to the palace to greet the Supreme Emperor, he was invited to the palace by an imperial decree.

Xie Rulan was worried that something would happen to him, so she waited in the palace distraught, but when Concubine Fu came, Xie Rulan hurriedly stood up and saluted her. She thought that Concubine Fu would ignore him today, but she didn't expect that the other party's attitude changed greatly.

"There is no need to be too polite in the future, if Yu'er sees it, she will blame me for bullying you."

This sour tone made Xie Rulan stunned whether to kneel or not, she had no choice but to stand up, lowered her eyebrows and said pleasantly: "Thank you, Empress Dowager."

Concubine Fu didn't seem to want to see Xie Rulan very much, but she came to look for Xie Rulan. I don't know what Xiao Xingyu said to her last night. Xie Rulan saw that the hostility from yesterday was gone in her eyes.

Seeing Concubine Fu sit down, while Xie Rulan stood on the side without saying a word, quietly, Concubine Fu thought to herself that if this child hadn't looked better, he would have been too dull.

So she opened her mouth to break the silence, Concubine Fu said: "Xie Rulan, I heard that Yu'er called you Aning, right?"

Xie Rulan paused, and said in a little embarrassment, "Yes."

Because his relatives are gone, there are fewer people calling him this baby name, but when Xie Rulan heard Concubine Fu say, "In this case, I will call you like this, lest Yu'er turn around and say that I treat you strangely" Still speechless for a while.

Xie Rulan: "..." What did Xiao Xingyu tell his mother?

Xie Rulan actually heard a feeling that she was the evil concubine of the troubled king, causing Xiao Xingyu's mother and concubine to speak one by one, fearing that Xiao Xingyu would be dissatisfied, and coping with it in cold sweat.

"Toffee is too worried, the prince is not that kind of person."

"The son born to me, of course I know what kind of person he is."

Concubine Fu snorted a little, picked up the tea bowl, and quickly put it back a little irritatedly. The force was a little heavy, and it made a crisp sound, as if hitting people's hearts. The maids around them all lowered their heads in fright, afraid Used as a punching bag.

Concubine Fu hesitated to speak, Xie Rulan hesitated and asked, "Does Concubine Fu have something to say to Cao Min alone?"

"Forget it, I just came to see you today, and tell you something by the way."

Concubine Fu raised her hand lightly, and the aunt who was following her handed over the account book on the tray in her hand. She did not move, but her exquisite makeup was a bit tired besides being graceful and luxurious.

"Bengong knows about your past, but Yu'er begged for mercy, so I don't care about you."

Xie Rulan's heart was shocked, and she heard Concubine Fu say again: "Yu'er has recognized you, so I can only let him go. I came here today just to tell you that it's not impossible for you to stay with Yu'er, but you can't harm him. "

Xie Rulan's face turned pale, and she opened her mouth and said, "I..."

Unexpectedly, Concubine Fu glared at him, her face, which was somewhat similar to Xiao Xingyu's but completely different, was somewhat displeased, "Talking to the elder, the elder hasn't finished talking yet, why are you rushing to interrupt?"

So Xie Rulan could only keep her mouth shut and listen to Concubine Fu continue to lecture.

"I know that you have saved Yu'er many times. Before you were strangers, you were willing to save him. Now that you have entered the palace, I hope you can take care of him more attentively. My son is born arrogant, and no one will say anything." Listen, but I just obey your words..."

As she talked, her eyes were a little sad, she didn't continue, but changed the subject and said: "These books belong to Prince Yu'er's mansion, you are not the princess yet, but the son of this palace is already yours, so you can take it back Let's take a look, practice what a housewife should do in advance, by the way, you don't need to manage the accounts now, just take a look at it casually."

This sudden thing came out again and again, Xie Rulan was so frightened that she trembled in her heart, she was really speechless, let him be a man as a kind of mistress... and take care of the accounts... It's really terrible!

Concubine Fu said, she got up and left, "I've finished my words, this is the end."

"...Congratulations to the concubine."

Concubine Fu saw that he was still obedient and sensible, she nodded slightly, and was about to leave, she added a little annoyed——

"Although your daughter-in-law is a bit unsatisfactory, it's good for Yu'er to be happy. Don't be too restrained in the future, let Yu'er come to the house often to say hello."

"……Yes."

Concubine Fu really left now, but after talking for a while, Xie Rulan was already sweating profusely.

Seeing that he hadn't recovered yet, Aunt Yu who was behind him rarely spoke to comfort him: "Young Master Xie, don't be nervous, the concubine is just out of face, and she doesn't speak so nicely."

Xie Rulan smiled wryly, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief. He could also see what Concubine Fu meant. She managed the accounts for him and said what she said about being the mistress was not insulting him, but a recognition of Xie Rulan. .

I'm also curious, what did Xiao Xingyu do to make Concubine Fu's prejudice against him disappear overnight.

Speaking of which, since Xiao Xingyu came back from Prince Qi's Mansion last night, he had already slept with Xie Rulan in separate rooms. It was because of Xiao Qian that they had to pretend to be intimate together.

Xie Rulan didn't feel much when the room was suddenly divided, Xiao Xingyu was very regretful, if he knew that he would not listen to his concubine mother, saying that it would be impossible to spoil him blindly, it's time to force Xie Rulan.

But he soon got busy, and the lights in the room didn't turn off until five o'clock. By then, Xie Rulan had already rested, and he didn't have time to pay attention to other things.

Today in court, Xiao Qian summoned Xiao Xingyu non-stop. Isn't this worrying people to death?

Xie Rulan waited for a whole half a day, and finally waited for Xiao Xingyu to come back in the afternoon. When she first saw the handsome young man in the luxurious golden crown and robe, she was suddenly stunned.

It seems to be pretty good too...

Xiao Xingyu came back with an imperial decree. Xiao Qian explained Xiao Xingyu's survival in front of the civil and military courts, and let him return to the court as a living person. Time to explode mines.

But he was threatened by Xiao Xingyu and had to do so.

The posthumous title of Prince Zhuang has not been cut, and Xiao Xingyu took some positions as a matter of course. From now on, he will be in charge of the Ming Dynasty Palace, which was once abandoned by Xiao Xingyu's second brother Xiao Luo.

Xiao Qian was so angry that he made up his mind to get rid of Xiao Xingyu as soon as possible.

Before sending people to assassinate Xiao Xingyu failed, and let him come back alive, not only was he promoted to prince, but also had real power in his hands. Xiao Jue expected that his future life would not be too good.

The return of Xiao Xingyu also caused the already unstable imperial court to quickly divide into four factions, the royal party, the royal party, and Xiao Xingyu's Prince Zhuang party.

In fact, the power in Xiao Xingyu's hands was originally owned by his second brother. Those people were all over the court and the public, and they were also talented and loyal. Unfortunately, the second brother failed to lead them to dominate the world in the end, and died tragically at a young age. Most of the power is also lost.

As for the last faction, Xiao Qian was puzzled by saying that that person was his father-in-law Xu Shangshu.

In order to bring Xie Rulan back to the palace safely, Xiao Qian suppressed Xu Guifei and Xu Shangshu's family prematurely. Xu Shangshu might have rebelled. Xu Guifei is still in the palace and can only maintain the current situation.

The other three of these four factions are against Xiao Qian, Xiao Qian is so angry that he almost vomits blood every day, but what can he do, after all, he is still the emperor.

Before Xu Shangshu was obviously unable to fight King Rong, but now that Xiao Xingyu is back, Xiao Qian doesn't mind creating a situation where the three pillars stand against each other.

As long as it is still stable, he will have time to slowly suppress all three of them.

Not much to say about the distance, Xiao Xingyu, who had never set foot in the court publicly, was extremely excited when he became the governor of the Ming Palace.

He wanted to restore the Ming Palace to its former glory, but when he shared these things with Xie Rulan, the other party just stared at his face blankly, and replied vaguely.

"A-Ning, why are you in a daze? I'm asking you something!"

Xiao Xingyu had been stared at by that scorching gaze for a long time, no matter how thick his skin was, he couldn't stop his blushing.

Xie Rulan came back to her senses immediately, and said blankly, "What did you just say?"

"...I said, do you want to go to Ming Palace with me tomorrow?"

Xie Rulan was stunned for a moment, then finally came to her senses, nodded and said, "Oh good, you are going to be the governor tomorrow, I will accompany you and protect you."

"Protect me?" Xiao Xingyu was a little unhappy, curled his lips and said: "It's agreed that I will protect you."

Xie Rulan smiled and sighed: "I will also help you with some martial arts. Today, the concubine specially asked me to help you in the past, and I will try my best to protect you now. I know that there are no shortage of guards around you, but I want to do something too."

Well, Xiao Xingyu was reluctantly convinced by this reason. He was just thinking that now that he is back in the capital, his home field, of course he can’t let Xie Rulan go out to fight and kill. He still hopes that Xie Rulan will be safer, but wait... …

Suddenly his eyes widened, Xiao Xingyu tremblingly said: "You said my concubine mother came to see you today?"

Xie Rulan nodded, without any grievance or anger on her face.

Xiao Xingyu felt uneasy, he talked to his concubine mother last night, and concubine mother reluctantly let him go with tears in her eyes, she just asked him to ensure her own safety, afterward she hardly said anything about Xie Rulan, concubine Fu was telling him to be careful Xiao Qian.

Unexpectedly, the concubine's hands and feet were so fast, Xiao Xingyu pursed his lips, and said nervously: "What else did my concubine say?"

When he just started, he still had a high-spirited face, but now he is cautious like a little daughter-in-law. Xie Rulan couldn't help being happy seeing his face changing so quickly, and simply told him everything.

Xiao Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief, held Xie Rulan's hand, and said with bright eyes: "A'Ning, you must come with me tomorrow, I have something to tell you."

He was going to reverse the case for Xie Rulan's parents, but he also thought that if Xie Rulan could personally participate in the reversal of the case, maybe his knot would be solved.

Xie Rulan listened to him now, and when she nodded, she saw Xiao Xingyu's smile became happier.

After noon, I went to see my mother and concubine, and talked with her. After that, Xiao Xingyu hurried to Ming Palace, and he had to take care of his subordinates so that Xie Rulan could go there with peace of mind.

Not long ago, Zhong Yueguan had been reinstated and returned to Prince Ming's Mansion, but Xie Rulan was coming tomorrow, in order not to embarrass himself, he always had to go there by himself to rest assured.

Therefore, he quietly went to Ming Palace, and when he saw Zhong Yue, the other party had resumed his official position as General Banner Master, led Xiao Xingyu into Ming Palace, and introduced the situation in detail.

Today's Ming Palace has long lost its former glory, but there are still people there, and it won't be any worse.

Just as he was talking and walking inside, Xiao Xingyu's eyes lit up suddenly when a person passing by made Xiao Xingyu's eyes light up. The person lowered his head, as if he was afraid of being discovered, he held the file and saluted in front of Xiao Xingyu. The voices were deliberately lowered, sounding hoarse and rough.

The figure of this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment, so Xiao Xingyu waved his hand casually to let him back down, and asked a few more questions casually.

"This guy is new here, I haven't seen him before."

Zhong Yue nodded and explained: "This is the second place in the scientific examination two months ago. He was assigned to our Ming Palace. He is a newcomer, and his name seems to be Lu Qing."

"Lu Qing?"

It's fine if you don't say it. Speaking of this name, Xiao Xingyu immediately knew who that person was, and his face turned slightly cold. Before Lu Qing went far, Xiao Xingyu called him to stop.

"stop!"

The young man who had just walked not far turned around timidly, lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "Is there something else, my lord?"

Xiao Xingyu smiled, with a bit of chill on the corner of his lips, and his heart was extremely happy.

"It's really a feng shui turn. I was imprisoned not long ago, but now you are in my hands. Don't think that the king doesn't recognize you if you keep your head down."

Xiao Xingyu sneered again and again, looked at the man and gritted his teeth: "I will remember you even if you turn into ashes, life-killing scholar Lu Qingbo!"

The author has something to say:

Xiao Xingyu: Ah Ning, seeing me doing it for so long, will everyone feel shy? (????ω????)?

Xie Rulan: Xiao Xingyu is so handsome... Oh, I must be blind_(:зゝ∠)_

Lu Qingbo: I made an appearance again, unexpected┑( ̄Д ̄)┍

Getting tired day by day, good night everyone~
