It's a pity that He Lianxuan's good show didn't last. Just as the Eldest Prince and Ling Qing were in a stalemate, a guard with a knife walked up to the Eldest Prince and saluted, "See Your Highness the Prince."

The eldest prince raised his eyebrows, and said a little displeased: "What's the matter?"

The guard glanced at Ling Qing, who had a gloomy face, and his expression was very embarrassing.

The eldest prince understood immediately, his brows and eyes darkened, and he nodded to signal the guard to come forward and speak.

Which of the guards hadn't said a few words before seeing the eldest prince's face change drastically, and he said sharply: "This is serious?!"

"It's absolutely true. Your Majesty is going to hold a council of elders tonight. I'm worried that you don't know about it. I hereby report to you. I hope His Highness will make a decision as soon as possible."

He Lianxuan, who was eavesdropping, frowned - Council of Elders?

The Council of Elders is a very special existence in Jingjue. Because Jingjue country is located in the Western Regions, the political structure of the Central Plains is very different.

A fine government is somewhat similar to a constitutional monarchy.

The Queen Jingjue is a symbol of national unity and a soul-like figure, but the Council of Elders holds half of the decision-making power in state affairs.

Of course, the Council of Elders is not absolutely in control of Jingjue. The decision and announcement of important matters still needs the consent of the queen and the princes, otherwise, it will have to be taken back for renegotiation.

So, the Council of Elders said it was important, but it was just a formality, but that was actually the case.When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Most of the time, the Queen and the Council of Elders advance and retreat together.

But what can happen now?

He Lianxuan's thoughts turned sharply - what exactly is the emperor going to do, so that she has to convene the council of elders in a hurry?

He Lianxuan was thinking about him, but the eldest prince took a deep look at Ling Qing who looked worried, his eyes were fiery, if it could be realized, Ling Qing would have been burnt to death.

"Nangong Ling", the eldest prince looked at him reluctantly for a few more times, then flicked his sleeves, and said coldly: "You are lucky today, but this prince tells you - you can hide from the first day of the junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day. The matter with you is not over yet! Let's go back to the palace!"

Ling Qing's face was cold, his eyes were lowered and he said nothing, as if the harsh words in front of him were just a cloud of air that could be ignored.

……

That night, Queen Jingjue convened the council of elders on time.

At the meeting, He Lianxuan found out that the Dayue clan (zhi), a powerful country in the southeast that also belonged to the Western Regions, will become friends with each other after three days.

The problem is that the purpose of Dai Viet's visit this time is not just a simple state visit, there is a distinguished name in the list of entourage - Da Yue Shi Jing and Princess Bi Liu.

Princess Jinghe is twelve years old this year, just one year younger than He Lianzheng, the eldest prince of the Jingjue Kingdom—the two are about the same age and have noble status, so they are a match made in heaven.

So, the Dayue clan came this time because they actually wanted to marry Jingjue so that Qin and Jin would be good friends.

This is actually a good thing, and it is also a natural responsibility of a prince, but the eldest prince He Lianzheng immediately objected loudly: "I refuse!"

Everyone was startled, the Queen Jingjue on the first seat frowned, turned her beautiful eyes, and was about to speak, but heard Prince Yu on the left, He Lianxuan lightly sneered, and said coldly: "Objection is invalid."

"You!" The eldest prince suddenly stood up.

He Lianxuan didn't look at him either, he turned his head sideways, met the Queen's searching eyes with his slender eyes, and said indifferently: "A prince and a princess make a good couple naturally. Besides..."

He Lianxuan started laughing as he spoke, he shifted his gaze, glanced at the gloomy eldest prince with some meaning, and said slowly: "My eldest prince Jingjue has a noble status and an extraordinary status, he is below one person and above ten thousand , his concubine will naturally be a first-class princess in the world, and any courtier or daughter will naturally be unworthy."

Although He Lianxuan was only 16 years old at this time, he hadn't grown into the domineering aura that would rule the world later, but his eyes were slender, and the ends of his eyes seemed to be whitish. When she was someone, she was already very enchanting and captivating.

Seeing him so abruptly, the eldest prince couldn't react immediately, and He Lianxuan's words were very suggestive, so he almost pointed his nose and scolded - don't think I don't know what you did to Nangong Ling Those stupid things!

The eldest prince's face was black and red from holding his breath. It took him a long time to hear him laughing back from anger, and he sat back in the chair and said viciously: "I don't care what you say, anyway, I don't agree with this marriage! Say it again, respect and princess Noble, but not my good match!"

"He Lianzheng!" Before He Lianxuan could speak this time, the queen herself felt that she couldn't hold back, and said sharply: "What nonsense are you talking about, why don't you apologize to Prince Yu!"

The eldest prince is the queen's eldest son, and he was a star among the stars when he was young. How could he have been so humiliated before? His first reaction at this moment was to be stunned. After thinking about it, he stood up impressively, stood up and left!

It doesn't matter that he left, everyone present, big and small, was dumbfounded—the Jingjue Council of Elders has been in existence for so many years, and this is the first time seeing the crown prince turn his face and leave! !

"..." The queen's face was already so dark that it could freeze, but in the end Helian Xuan spoke quickly and said to the rescue: "Let's go, let's discuss this matter tomorrow."

He Lianxuan was the queen's favorite prince, his words were somewhat authoritative, everyone immediately saluted and retired as if they had received amnesty.

……

That night, He Lianxuan went to Taifu's residence where Ling Qing was.

When he arrived, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and Ling Qing had already bathed and was about to go to bed.

When He Lianxuan knocked on the door, Ling Qing was kneeling on Xiangfei's bed and wiping her hair. Immediately her hands shook and she asked in confusion, "Who is outside?"

He Lianxuan just smiled silently and didn't answer.

Ling Qing frowned, he put down the bath towel in his hand, and flicked it lightly on the back of his waist, a sharp dagger was impressively in his hand.

"Who?" He held his breath, pressed the door bolt with one hand, held the dagger behind his back with the other, and said sharply again: "Last time: who is outside!"

It's a pity that there was no sound outside, and even my breath was held.

Ling Qing's face immediately changed - those who could sneak into his door at this time were either acquaintances or first-class experts.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, and at the same time as he opened the door, he held the hand of the dagger behind his back, and slashed fiercely forward in the air!

However, in this flash of lightning, there was only a "ding dong" sound - that was the sound of the dagger falling to the ground.Immediately afterwards, he only felt that his eyes went dark and his wrist hurt, and he was hugged by a person with his hands cut behind his back.

"..." Ling Qing froze at this moment. His first reaction was the eldest prince. After all, this person pestered him almost every day to become a princess after he knew that he could conceive and have children.

But everyone knew that the eldest prince was an embroidered pillow that was useless but could not be so powerful, and for some reason, the person holding him seemed to have no intention of hurting him, but embraced himself with a very cherished gesture.

Strange, who could it be?

"Tsk, calm down." Fortunately, the person behind him finally spoke and said with a smile, "Xiao Ling is me, it's me, what are you afraid of?"

"Brother Xuan?" Ling Qing immediately relaxed. He tilted his head slightly and said angrily, "Why are you silent? Is it interesting to run out in the middle of the night to scare people?"

At this time, Ling Qing was only fourteen, with the unique hoarseness of a young man in his voice. He spoke so casually, even a little annoyed, but he didn't know it at all. This single complaint was enough to make He Lianxuan, who was holding him, spend a lot of time. It took a lot of force to suppress the blood rushing out of the whole body.

"You..." Ling Qing waited for a long time, but he didn't see any movement from He Lianxuan, so he couldn't help but move his body strangely.

"Are you taking a bath?" But He Lianxuan didn't answer with a low smile. He lowered his head, smelling Ling Qing's wet black hair like a tiger sniffing a rose, and changed the subject, "Why did you rest so early?"

Ling Qing frowned, he really didn't understand why He Lianxuan went crazy in the middle of the night, but he didn't struggle, he just tilted his head, as if avoiding that person's approach, and said indifferently: "I'm wiping my hair, I don't know if you Where to go crazy, but it's late now, I'll go to bed after my hair is dry."

"Oh."

He Lianxuan nodded, buried his head in Ling Qing's neck and sniffed, squinting his eyes and said: "It smells so good, have you washed it for a long time? Why is it so fragrant..."

As he spoke, those slender and broad hands slipped down involuntarily, rubbing against Ling Qing's hipbone seemingly inadvertently and softly.

He Lianxuan was actually unconscious at this time, Ling Qing can be said to be his younger brother, since he was a child, he can swear to God, he has absolutely no intention of profane towards Ling Qing!

He was just... a little impatient, especially when he knew that the eldest prince wanted to take Ling Qing, such a precious brother, as his own, He Lianxuan really lost control.

So he wanted to come, come to Ling Qing, to confirm whether his precious Ling Qing was safe, whether... still belonged to him.

But Ling Qing didn't know. In addition to the stimulation from the eldest prince in the morning, his whole body became stiff. The originally relaxed hand tightened. The dagger lay across the opponent's neck.

"Back off!"

"Xiao Ling!" He Lianxuan's face changed drastically, "What are you doing?"

Ling Qing didn't look at him at all, and said sternly, "What am I doing? He Lianxuan, ask yourself what you want to do first? Back off! Don't make me repeat it for the third time!"

He Lianxuan frowned, clearly wanting to defend himself, but Ling Qing gritted his teeth, moved his wrist, and the sharp blade simply cut a thin gash on his neck, and blood spewed out instantly.

"Okay", He Lianxuan's eyes were deep, and he let go of the hand resting on Ling Qing's hip bone. Regardless of the wound on his neck, he slowly raised his hand and backed away, and persuaded in a deep voice: "Xiao Ling, calm down first, Put down the knife, I won't do anything, trust me, Xiaoling, I won't hurt you."

Ling Qing raised his eyes, noncommittal, he just looked at He Lianxuan with mixed emotions for a long time, until the blood on He Lianxuan's neck was dripping, only then did he retract the dagger, let it cool down for a while, Voice: "Are you sure?"

He Lianxuan couldn't laugh or cry, "Of course! Xiaoling, I'm your elder brother Xuan, what can I do to you!"

After all, he is someone who has believed for many years. That "Brother Xuan" instantly made Ling Qing relax a little, but he still had lingering fears, frowned, and said coldly: "Then what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

"I..." He Lianxuan choked for a moment, and quickly replied with a wry smile: "Can I come and see you?"

Ling Qing was even more surprised, "You came to see me? You, a prince, came to my door in the middle of the night just to see me? He Lianxuan, are you not stupid?"

"..." He Lianxuan was really suffering and couldn't express it. It took him a long time to see him sigh, stroked his forehead and said: "The eldest prince will marry Princess Jinghe of the Dayue clan, you can rest assured and sleep."

Ling Qing's black pupils shrank, "You..."

But before he finished speaking, He Lianxuan waved his hand, returned to his usual lazy look, turned and left.

"Brother Xuan!"

He Lianxuan paused, only to hear Ling Qing hesitate behind him for a while, and then asked in a low voice: "You will... be my brother Xuan forever, right?"

"..." He Lianxuan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that everything in his mind was blank.

After a long time, he sighed and said with a smile: "Yes, I will always be your brother Xuan, I promise you."

……

In the distance, the phoenix trees are breezy and rainy, and the spring silkworms cocoon themselves.

But some people, some things, like butterflies struggling in the tunnel, will break out of their cocoons sooner or later, like an arrow on a string, they have to shoot!
