As soon as the crown prince opened his mouth, the expressions of all the people present turned sharply down.

As if these words touched the taboo of the royal court, countless eyes first focused on the crown prince, and then followed the crown prince's gaze to fix on Xie Gui.

Xie Guichu was taken aback for a moment, but later realized that the "Aunt Yan" was directed at him.

Realizing something, he slowly pursed his lips, and clenched his hands in his sleeves, turning them blue and white.

There were not many people in the old palace present, and the crown prince was the one who responded the most.He stared at Xie Gui, and suddenly strode towards Xie Gui.

He stood still in front of Xie Gui, stretched out his hands, and slowly touched Xie Gui's cheeks.

The Crown Prince's movements trembled a little. Although his fingers were rough, it seemed that he had found a rare treasure, and he was extremely careful.

"so similar……"

A Xuan who was beside Xie Gui opened her mouth wide in disbelief.

There was a deathly silence in the front hall, and after a while, a young girl jumped out of the hall.

The young girl was beautiful and delicate, with flowing eyes, as if raised in honey.

She looked around for a while, showing a dissatisfied expression, and then walked to the crown prince's side in small steps, pulled the crown prince's sleeve, and said angrily: "Brother, why are you ignoring me?"

Seeing that it was useless to be coquettish, she looked at Xie Gui dissatisfied, but suddenly her eyes widened and she let out a groan.

The girl tugged at the crown prince's sleeve again, "Brother, this young master looks just like me."

The crown prince gave her a serious look, and then ordered his attendants: "Go and change the clothes of this young man, and take him to see the queen mother."

The formerly indifferent palace servants suddenly became enthusiastic, and enthusiastically stripped off Xie Gui's plain clothes, and changed him into the noble clothes of the Zhai people.

No matter how reluctant Xie Gui was, he could only go with the palace people.He was already handsome, and the noble clothes of the Zhai people were elegant and luxurious. After changing, he stood outside, and many court ladies looked straight at him.

The further you go to the queen mother's palace, the more elderly palace people will be.Xie Gui noticed the suspicious gaze from the side, and felt a little uncomfortable.

The crown prince explained in a warm voice: "You are too much like Aunt Yan. Only older people have an impression of aunt. Don't think too much, just take you to meet the queen mother."

The little princess who had been following behind finally couldn't help but said: "Take him like this, grandma will be frightened..." After being stared at by the crown prince, she pouted and lowered her head.

"Lan Lan."

The crown prince scolded, Yelu Lanlan snorted and turned her head away.

The Empress Dowager's palace is located in a secluded place. The Crown Prince explained that after Aunt Yan left, the Empress Dowager liked to be alone, and there were few concubines on weekdays.

There were a few sweeping maids in the yard who were busy, when they saw the crown prince coming in, they hurried up to salute.

Perhaps the movement outside startled the queen mother, and before the crown prince reached the door, the queen mother came out from inside with the help of the old mother.

"Why doesn't Ah Zhuo go to the father's side, come to me..."

The Empress Dowager's loving words came to an abrupt end.

She suddenly opened her eyes wide and fainted suddenly.

The Empress Dowager's palace was in a state of turmoil. It was supposed to be Xie Gui, the rightful lord, but it was useless instead.

The crown prince was a little remorseful, and hurriedly sent a message to the imperial physician.Unexpectedly, the imperial doctor hadn't arrived yet, but the queen mother woke up by herself.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to see Xie Gui.

Xie Gui passed through the big wind and waves, no matter how big the scene was, he didn't move like a mountain, but now facing the empress dowager's slightly cloudy eyes, he became reserved instead.

"It looks like..." The queen mother choked up and said, "It's too similar."

Crown Prince Yeluzhuo comforted: "Grandmother, don't worry, everyone is here, if you have any questions, you can ask slowly."

Xie Gui walked up in silence.

-

After the queen mother finished asking, Yeluzhuo saw that the queen mother was tired, so he asked Xie Gui to step back first, and stayed in the room to comfort the queen mother.

Xie Gui couldn't be calm for a long time after meeting unexpectedly.

He silently walked to the gate of the palace and saw the little princess Yelu Lanlan waiting in the courtyard, and she showed him an extremely innocent smile.

"So it's the elder brother of Aunt Yan's family, no wonder, no wonder." Yelu Lanlan spoke in extremely fluent Dashun official dialect, "My elder brother is so beautiful, Aunt Yan must be a great beauty. It turns out that elder brother didn't lie to me."

Xie Gui was taken aback, and blurted out: "Can you speak Daysun's official dialect?"

Yelu Lan gave him a blank look: "Of course, all the maids in charge in my palace know how to do it. Big brother has already said that I can't stay in the royal court for the rest of my life."

Xie Gui was suddenly speechless.

I thought she was a savage and ignorant princess, but she turned out to be acting stupid on purpose?

Yelu Lanlan didn't seem to see his eyes, she pulled Xie back to the side hall, and asked him quietly: "Brother, is Aunt Yan doing well in Daysun?"

She didn't enjoy listening to the corner just now, so she asked this first.Unexpectedly, Xie Gui shook his head: "I have never seen my mother."

Yelu Lanlan was stunned, "Then tell grandma..."

Xie Gui smiled wryly: "The queen mother... my grandmother has been waiting for my mother for nearly 20 years. She is seriously ill and cannot bear the pain of her mother's departure. Why should I tell her the truth?"

He had known for a long time that his mother was from Zhai, most likely a nobleman from Zhai.It was precisely because his background was too sensitive that Xie Yong decided not to use the power of the Xie family to help him become an official.If he wanted to become an official, he had to rely on himself.

A remark he overheard when he was eight years old inspired him to leave Qingjiang County and enter Nanshan Academy wholeheartedly.

Yelu Lanlan's eyelashes flickered like butterfly wings, and suddenly asked: "Everyone in the royal family has a golden knife, but where is Aunt Yan's knife?"

Speaking of this, Xie Gui became angry: "At Dugu Zhu's place."

Yelu Lanlan burst out laughing: "It seems that Aunt Yan really didn't have time to tell you that the golden knife can't be given to others indiscriminately. It should either be left to the descendants or be used as a token of love."

Xie Gui immediately turned dark, and got up to leave.

Yelu Lanlan leaned on the table and smiled, soft and soft like the hosta flowers in full bloom in the courtyard, "It's too late for you to leave now, Dugu Yiyi left the royal court early in the morning, and is going to stop Yunguan."

Yeluzhuo's scolding suddenly sounded outside: "Lan Lan, before you talk about Dugu Zhu, can you eat first?"

The little princess who had just shown her cunning restrained her expression in an instant, and ran away angrily.

When Yeluzhuo came in, he sighed: "Lan Lan is used to this by my father and me, and Mr. Xie laughed at me."

Xie Gui smiled and shook his head.Yelu Lanlan has brains anyway, compared to some of the Xie family's children, they are really ignorant idiots.

Seeming to have found something to say, Yeluzhuo began to talk about the younger sister: "The father will give her everything she wants, including men. If the stars can't be picked, the father will definitely send the best warriors to heaven."

Xie Gui tentatively half-jokingly: "I'm so used to it, is it because she resembles my mother?"

Yeluzhuo said quietly: "There are few princesses in the royal family, she looks like Aunt Yan, and she is also like Aunt Yan in her fearless temperament."

Yeluyan was the youngest of the previous generation, the most beautiful flower in the royal court, and loved by the king and queen.Even King Zhai, who was still the crown prince at that time, loved this Yaomei very much.

Yelu Lanlan and Yeluyan are so similar, Yeluyan was exiled in a foreign land, and the royal family couldn't find it anywhere, so they gave all their love to Yelu Lanlan.

Xie Gui thought of Yelu Lanlan's demeanor and the cunning he deliberately concealed, and wanted to say something, but he didn't speak in the end.

The topic finally turned to business.

Xie Gui asked: "General Dugu already left the royal court this morning?"

Yeluzhuo was noncommittal, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you worried about King Yan?"

Xie Gui did not deny it: "Cousin, it is not a good thing to be against King Yan."

I also know that I have a relationship with him.

Yeluzhuo sneered, "He was exiled to the land of Yan. To Shun, he was an outcast. You came from the Xie family, but you were forced to follow him to the land of Yan. Isn't it a matter of getting the best of both worlds?"

Xie Gui said in a deep voice: "There is only King Yan, there is nothing to be afraid of. But behind King Yan, there is me."

Yeluzhuo praised: "As expected of Aunt Yan's son. This play with King Yan is really similar."

Xie Gui added fuel to the fire: "Ping Wang Fengyuan is a man who repays kindness and revenge, you will not get any benefit from cooperating with him."

Yeluzhuo gave him a deep look, "No wonder the few people I sent didn't even care about King Ping, and instead pointed their knives at the door. So where are you?"

It was about the time Xie Gui went to the brothel to look for the Fifth Prince.

Xie Gui went straight to the point, exactly hitting Yeluzhuo's heart.

He had cooperated with Ping Wang Fengyuan before, but Fengyuan did not bring them any benefits.Feng Yuan promised to open a few openings in Yandi for business travelers to enter and exit, but it has not been fulfilled for a long time.

Yeluzhuo was helpless, after giving Feng Yuan a warning, he had no choice but to pick up the closest Prince Shun first.As for which prince to cooperate with next, he is still waiting to see.

Xie Gui only inherited half of Yeluyan's bloodline, and the other half belonged to Shun completely. Yeluzhuo would not rashly agree to Xie Gui just because of his previous family affection.

"The people of our family have been struggling in recent years. If you don't take the road of business travel, you can only meet on the battlefield. I can hold it for you in a year or two, but what about three or four years later, ten years later?"

Xie Gui knew that he had been persuaded, so he quietly waited for his next words.

Yeluzhuo's voice was calm: "You are very courageous. You dared to tell me about the secret alliance with King Yan. You are betting that I will not kill you for Aunt Yan's sake."

Xie Gui smiled and remained silent.

"Since that's the case, I'll sell you again. I'll send a guard to escort you out of the royal court to Tingyun Pass."

Yeluzhuo put the badge on the table.

"It's very important for Dugu Zhu to reach Tingyun Pass within five days. I will not force him to return to the royal court. With this guard, you can return to King Yan and let him return to Youji safely. I promised not to move King Yan within two years."

Xie Gui took the badge and went out, Yeluzhuo's voice chased after him from afar: "Whether you can do it or not depends on your ability."
