He glared at Yang Yitian, and left with Bao Rong.

(10 Fresh Coins) Baorong's Memories

After the two left, Yang Yitian resigned and left, while Xiao Yan turned around and walked towards the Prince's Hall.

As soon as he stepped into the threshold, he saw Bao Rong with a surprised expression on his face. He put the teacup in his hand on the table and greeted him, "Why are you here?"

"Where's Ran'er?" Xiao Yan asked with a slap in the face.

"Ran'er?" Bao Rong immediately sensed the displeasure in Xiao Yan's tone, so he hurriedly pushed him to the table and sat down, brewed a cup of Biluochun for him himself, and said with a smile: "Ran'er said that he was tired and wanted to Rest, I was afraid of disturbing him, so I came out, by the way, you are late, don't you want to entertain all the officials, why do you have this free time to come here now?"

Xiao Yan didn't drink tea either, he glanced towards the inner hall, and asked: "That Yang Yitian, what's going on."

Bao Rong walked around behind him, put his hands on his shoulders, pretended to be confused and said: "What could be the matter, that's the way it is! That Yang Yitian is Prime Minister Yang's second son, Ran'er's playmate when he was young. That's it."

"Oh──" Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, then suddenly scolded, "That's what's going on, you think I'm a fool, the tone and attitude of Ran Er's words just now, everyone can tell that the relationship between the two is not ordinary , tell me honestly, what is the relationship between the two of them? Also, was Ran'er's injury caused by that person?"

"Keep your voice down!" Bao Rong almost covered his mouth in a hurry, "Be careful that Ran'er can hear you."

"If you don't want to talk about it, if you don't want to talk about it, I'll go in and ask him now."

Xiao Yan was about to get up, but Bao Rong saw that the situation was not good, so he pressed hard with both hands to prevent him from getting up, and said in submission with a headache:

"Okay, okay, let me say that, don't go in, Ran'er's injury is not healed, if you are so indiscriminate, ask him again like a prisoner, let Ran'er finally feel a little bit towards you The favorability disappeared in an instant."

"Prisoner interrogation?" Xiao Yan frowned, turned half of his body, and stared into Bao Rong's resentful eyes in astonishment.

"No, why don't I give you that bronze mirror now, so you can take a good look at your fierce face and see if I'm right?"

Xiao Yan stared at him for a long time before sighing: "Oh! Your mouth is getting stronger and stronger."

Bao Rong smiled lightly, brought the teacup to him, and said, "I've been busy all morning, so I haven't drank much water, look how dry your lips are."

Xiao Yan took the teacup, pushed aside the tea leaves floating on the water with the lid of the cup, took a sip, moistened his throat, and heard Bao Rong say: "As you said, the relationship between Ran'er and Yang Yitian The relationship is not ordinary, although Ran'er doesn't admit it, but I asked him once, and from his answer, I can tell that Ran'er has some admiration for that Yang Yitian. But──"

"But?" Xiao Yan questioned, and turned to look at Bao Rong who was sitting opposite, "But what?"

"However, ever since you appointed Ran'er as the crown prince five years ago, that Yang Yitian seemed to be a different person. He lingered in casinos and flower houses every day. At this time, Prime Minister Yang used family law to punish him more than once, but he Not only did the viciousness not change, but it became even more rampant, and finally Prime Minister Yang couldn't bear it anymore and kicked him out of the house."

"Oh?" Xiao Yan showed surprise on his face, "Why didn't I know about such a big event?"

"You also know that Prime Minister Yang is a generation of generals. How much he values ​​face. If such a scandal happened in the family, if the whole city knows about it, it will make him feel worse than killing him."

"Then how do you know?"

Bao Rong thought for a while and said, "Actually, I have been in correspondence with Yang Yitian all these years."

As he expected, as soon as these words came out, Xiao Yan immediately cast a look of surprise and jealousy at him. Bao Rong was afraid that he might misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "Look at your face, don't look in the wrong direction." Think, the reason why I did this is entirely for Ran'er's sake."

"Private letter? Or with a man?" Xiao Yan asked in a strange tone.

"What kind of private letter?" Bao Rong glared at him, and said slowly, "Actually, although Ran'er didn't say anything, his eyes and expressions showed deep affection for Yitian. It's only been five years. A few days ago, when Ran'er became the prince, Yitian suddenly felt that he seemed to have become superior and unreachable overnight, impulsive, so he did such absurd things, and was kicked out of the house by Prime Minister Yang in the end."

He sipped his tea lightly, sighed melancholy, looked at Xiao Yan and continued: "You also know Ran'er's temper, Yitian didn't even say hello to him five years ago, just left without saying goodbye, he is How angry you should be."

Xiao Yan suddenly realized, "No wonder Ran'er was so irritable in those days, throwing things around or yelling at servants everywhere. It turned out to be because of this, so why didn't you tell me at that time?"

"You were busy with government affairs at that time, and I was afraid that you would be disturbed, so I didn't tell you."

"What about the letter?"

"That night, Ran'er clamored for a little sugar man, but there was no one in the palace, so I went out of the palace to get him one, but on the way back, I saw a drunk man The drunken man suddenly ran out in front of the carriage and insisted on blocking the carriage. I thought the man's voice was familiar, so I got out of the car to take a look. The man had disheveled hair and ragged clothes. All beggars on the street are inferior, I saw him pitiful, so I rewarded him with a piece of silver, thinking that he would leave after taking the silver, but he was uncharacteristically swearing."

"And then?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Not only was he yelling at me, but he also grabbed my sleeve and wouldn't let go. As soon as the guards with him saw him, they immediately came up and pressed the man to the ground, beating him violently. , I found it strange, so I ordered the group of guards to stop immediately, walked up to him, and took a look at his hair, only to find that the man turned out to be Yitian. After knowing his identity, I first placed him in the I went to a small inn and persuaded him after he sobered up. Fortunately, Yitian is a sensible person. After listening to the persuasion, I had a correspondence with him after that, and things were like this. "

After Xiao Yan finished listening, he silently pondered what Bao Rong had said.

"By the way, I don't like excitement, so I won't go there at night."

"How did this happen? No matter the courtiers are required to participate in the feast at night, you are the crown prince Shaofu, how can you be absent at will?"

"If I go, what will Ran'er do? Let him stay here alone, I don't worry."

"Father!" Ji Ran walked out of the inner hall at this time, and took two quick steps to come to Xiao Yan, "Father, Ran'er is almost in good health, and I want to attend the feast tonight, please please I accepted Ran'er's request, okay?"

(10 Fresh Coins) Ying Luo's Conspiracy

"Nonsense, don't you look at how injured you are, and you still want to go out to play, no, you give me a good rest in the Prince's Palace, and you are not allowed to go anywhere." The smear in Xiao Yan's eyes was beating Scorching flames.

"Father──" Ji Ran suddenly knelt on the ground, pleading bitterly: "Father, Ran'er knew it was wrong, Ran'er shouldn't have contradicted his father, shouldn't make his father unhappy, Ran'er will give it to you now!" Father admits his mistake."

Before Bao Rong could step forward to stop him, he saw Ji Ran kowtow on the ground, his heart almost jumped out of his anxiety, but Xiao Yan held his breath and stood motionless on the spot.

"Ran'er, get up quickly, be careful of hurting yourself." Baorong hurriedly supported Ji Ran's body, but Ji Ran didn't care, and was about to bend over and knock again, "Say something quickly! His injury is not healed yet." , do you just have the heart to see him keep knocking like this?"

"Ai──" Xiao Yanchang sighed, and bent over to help Ji Ran up, "Ran Er, the reason why my father forbids you to go is not only because your injury has not healed yet."

"What is that for?"

"Because your father hasn't investigated this matter clearly, I'm afraid that if you go out like this, someone will harm you again."

Of course Ji Ran knew which thing Bao Rong was referring to, and his body began to tremble slightly again. Whenever he thought of what he had experienced that night, he couldn't help being afraid, afraid, and couldn't tell what was going on in his heart. The sourness, bitterness, but slowly lowered his head, no longer speaking.

Bao Rong helped Ji Ran sit down on the padded chair behind him, thought for a moment, and asked with some trepidation in his heart: "Ran Er, can you still remember that night, the person who hurt you What does it look like?"

Ji Ran's nose kept dripping with cold sweat, and he shook his head in panic.

"Okay, okay, we don't want to, don't want to."

"Don't go!" Ji Ran desperately tugged at Bao Rong's wide sleeves, and pressed her small face to his chest.

"Okay, don't be afraid, Brother Rong isn't going anywhere, he's here to accompany you."

Xiao Yan looked at Ji Ran with heavy eyes, and couldn't say a word. He just glanced at Bao Rong, and then he said in a low voice, "Go and do your work! I'm here to accompany Ran'er , you can rest assured!"

Xiao Yan nodded, turned and left.

In the Huachun Pavilion, Yingluo was sitting on a fancy concubine chair, staring at the silver ring inlaid with sapphires on her middle finger, and listening to Li Huan's report.

"Master, according to my subordinate's eyeliner, it is said that the young prince, Fu Xiao Baorong, will not attend tonight's lantern banquet. In this way, wouldn't the poisonous Gu we planted in his body by chance be in vain?"

"In vain?" Yingluo raised her head with great interest, and looked at Li Huan, "How can it be in vain? Not only will we not
