Early in the morning, the prince's house.

It has been three more hours since he came back from the palace. Xiao Yuqi didn't sleep all night and sat quietly at dawn.

What happened that night made him feel unprepared. It was clear that everything was developing in a good direction before the calm, but it was only overnight that there was a 160 degree change, which made him feel helpless for the first time.

The death order given by Emperor Dongwan to Xiao Yuqi cannot be disobeyed. Now Luo qingluan is in the capital of Dongwan. If you really want to seize her, this is the best opportunity. And according to his friendship with Luo qingluan, even if the situation has been so, I'm afraid Luo qingluan will not refuse to see him.

As long as we meet, he will have a chance! This is why emperor Dongwan saw Xiao Yuqi's role and asked him to take Luo qingluan.

But how can Xiao Yuqi do it?

It is precisely because Luo qingluan and his friendship, sympathize with each other, help each other, and have pure friendship like confidants. How did he give Luo qingluan a hand? Xiao Yuqi knew that once he started, regardless of success or failure, the friendship between him and Luo qingluan would be cut off, and there was no possibility of repair.

But if he doesn't do it, the consequences of this matter may be unbearable to Dongwan. What should he do as the crown prince of Dongwan?

"Your Highness, Lord Xiao has taken people to wait outside." Confidant Yan Wu came in and urged.

Xiao Han is the commander of the forbidden army. He specializes in secrets. To deal with this kind of matter, Dongwan emperor specially ordered him to assist the crown prince and complete the matter.

Xiao Yu frowned, but where did he make a decision?

It's neither going nor not going. There are contradictions. Even if Xiao Yuqi is so wise and wise, he has made difficulties at the moment. Loyal to his heart, he was unwilling to attack Luo qingluan. He was loyal to the king for his country, but he had to do something against his conscience. He was in a dilemma.

Looking at Xiao Yuqi's upset appearance, Yan Wu whispered, "since your Highness the prince doesn't want to, why don't you let the king of Chu and the princess of Chu go?"

Let go?

Xiao Yuqi glanced at Yan Wu and didn't understand what he meant.

"My subordinates are worried and upset about the crown prince. So far, they can't make up their mind. Naturally, they don't want to catch the king and Princess of Chu. The responsibility for this is not theirs, but the imperial concubine and the Empress Dowager... Er..." although it involves the Empress Dowager, let Yan Wu say it straight, but he paused, and he continued, "The crown prince has always been upright, doing something and not doing something. Even if he is a prince, he also commits the same crime as the common people. Now the third prince has come to this end, but he is to blame."

"The palace naturally understands, but you don't understand. The father emperor is not only angry about his third brother and the imperial concubine. What's more, the king of Chu's move actually hit the father emperor's face, humiliated the father emperor's face and damaged Long Wei. This is the reason why he can't restrain himself."

As a son of emperor Dongwan, Xiao Yuqi was naturally very clear. If not, he would not be so embarrassed.

"But my subordinates still feel that the crown prince should not make things uncontrollable when his majesty is angry. If the crown prince really deals with Princess Chu this time, it is bound to arouse the anger of the king of Chu. At that time, I'm afraid that things will really be irreparable and cause a war between the two countries."

Yan Wu carefully said, "why don't the prince go and sell the king and Princess of Chu a face this time. Since they have avenged their revenge, as long as they can return to the Western Chu smoothly, there is room for relaxation even if there is anything after they want to come. If your majesty can calm down, it is natural that the prince's move is the most suitable."

Is that true? Xiao Yuqi thought about it. He only felt a splitting headache.

Someone came outside and said that the time had come. Lord Xiao urged the prince to start quickly, otherwise it would be late.

Xiao Yuqi finally made up his mind: "well, Yan Wu, you take a shortcut to find the king of Chu. They make it clear. This palace delays time. I hope they can leave Dongwan as soon as possible."

"Yes, my subordinates will go now." Yan Wu answered. Just about to leave, a dignified female voice suddenly stopped: "stop!"

Xiao Yuqi's eyes were cold, but he saw a woman in her fifties come in. It was mother Fang beside the Empress Dowager. He quickly stood up and greeted her: "mother Fang, why are you here..."

Mother Fang looked solemn and said, "the crown prince wants to send a message. If I hadn't come in time, I'm afraid the crown prince would make a big mistake."

Now that mother fang had heard it, Xiao Yuqi did not hide it and said positively, "I think mother Fang has all known the consequences of this matter. If not, the emperor's grandmother would not send mother. However, the palace has made up its mind. Please don't stop mother..."

"Does your highness think that you have helped the king of Chu and the princess of Chu to return home this time and the matter is over? The prince's thought is too simple! Hasn't the end of North Vietnam alerted the prince? The day when the king of Chu Nalan night in Western Chu will never stop the power and hegemony. The emperor of Western Chu is young and promising. It is time to work hard for the rule of the country. The king of Chu is brave and good at war and is also Jain Must report, loyal to the Western Chu royal family, now Dongwan is not the first of the four countries. Hasn't the prince seen the reality? "

His words made Xiao Yuqi look dignified, like a blow to the head.

No, he believes in the character of the king of Chu. He also knows that the temperament of the princess of Chu has never been a character of trouble. As long as I don't commit crimes, people naturally don't commit crimes against me. Why can't Western Chu and Eastern Wan coexist and live in harmony for thousands of years?

Looking at Xiao Yuqi's suspicious eyes, mother Fang's face eased a little and said painstakingly, "the crown prince is honest and has never hurt others. The Empress Dowager knows that, so she loves the crown prince more than the third prince. But because of this, the Empress Dowager is afraid that the crown prince will do something wrong and once lost, it will bring irreparable consequences to Dongwan..."

"Would your majesty be so worried if the Western Chu was still the former western Chu? I'm afraid the king of Chu is still arguing with North Vietnam? Where does the king of Chu have the time to provoke conflicts with Dongwan for private affairs? It's just that the Western Chu has become stronger and bolder. Even without this, Dongwan and Western Chu can't coexist peacefully for a long time. It's better to start first, your highness, The Empress Dowager asked the old slave to tell you, do you understand? "

Xiao Yuqi was silent. He was upset.

Is it really the same as what he didn't want to see? Because of this matter, Xichu and Dongwan are really going to get out of control? It is clearly the disaster caused by imperial concubine Li. The father and the emperor have a bad face, but the master and younger sister of the king of Chu also have two lives!

Endure a step too wide the sky

Endure

Suddenly the pupils of his eyes narrowed, and Xiao Yuqi seemed to understand something.

As an emperor, if everything is a word of forbearance, how should the following civil and military officials treat it? No dignity, no domineering, will only be despised. If everything retreats, it will only make others press step by step. When there is no retreat, it is the time to destroy the country!

Perhaps his father thought so?

Even though there is something wrong with Princess Li this time, her father and emperor can never give in. This is the face and dignity of the Dongwan royal family. There are some things that can't be made clear right or wrong. One mountain can't be two tigers. Perhaps, when the Western Chu became stronger, it was destined to be this day with Dongwan.

His eyes were a little dark, but he had to. Xiao Yuqi finally looked at mother Fang and sighed: "yes, mother, I understand."

……

Similarly, it was not long before he returned to his residence with Nalan night. Luo qingluan was discussing with him about the suitable return to China. Xiao Tianyong's surprised voice came from the outside: "prince, princess, it's bad. My subordinates heard the trend of military defense in the city. The five cities' military and horse Division has been dispatched, and even the forbidden army in the palace. I'm afraid it's against the prince and princess!"

Nalan stood up in the night, and a fierce momentum came up: "the king is waiting for them!"

Yuan Xing sneered and said, "come on, I didn't kill enough last night. These Dongwan people come to kill one and two. I'll kill a pair! Yong'an, are you afraid?"

"Afraid of a ball!" Yong'an took a hard sip, directly took out the long sword and was about to rush out.

Xu Wei said in a deep voice behind him, "I won't go. I'll stay to protect the princess and the little prince."

Yuan Xing and Yong'an reacted and quickly retreated back: "Lord, we are not afraid of those Royal Military prohibitions, but the princess can't do martial arts. She still has a young son around her, so we can't get hurt."

After returning from the palace, Liang Yuyan has been guarding Luo qingluan. She didn't go tonight. Her task is to protect the nursing mother and the little son of the world. Now it's the same. She ignored everything except Luo qingluan and the half-aged child in her arms.

"Qingluan, don't worry. I won't let anyone hurt you and the little son of the world." Her face was serious.

Looking at the dignified look on their faces, Luo qingluan went to the door and asked Xiao Changyong, "helmsman Xiao, how long do you expect they will arrive at us?"

Xiao Changyong frowned, thought for a moment and said, "princess, at most a quarter of an hour! The people of the military and Horse Department of the five cities are very familiar with the terrain of the capital. Although their subordinates may set up some mechanisms here, they are afraid they can't stop them for long. The princess and the little prince should leave quickly!"

"Qingluan, take your son and leave from the secret road of the dark night hall. As long as you get out of the city, you will be safe. All hands are waiting outside the city. I'll deal with the pursuers and meet you." Nalan's face was cold at night.

"But Nalan night, even if we leave the capital, do we have to escape all the way back to Xichu?" Luo qingluan was noncommittal.

"Don't worry, I won't let your mother and son have anything to do. I've sent someone to tell your Majesty the situation here in advance. I'll take the military talisman. As long as I get out of the border, the army of Western Chu will be assembled long ago. Unless emperor Dongwan wants to fight for the king, he can only retreat obediently!" With a confident look, Nalan night was already ready.

Luo qingluan smiled: "so you have calculated the result."

Even she only thought that emperor Dongwan might have an attack, but she didn't expect to be desperate for a high-ranking imperial concubine and want to leave her and Nalan night in Dongwan. Even Xiao Yuqi, as she expected, didn't plead with her. He naturally had to stand on the side of Dongwan when it was related to the interests of the two countries.

She understood Xiao Yuqi, but she didn't think she or Nalan night had done wrong. She could only say that her position was different.

Looking at the sky, Nalan night urged: "qingluan, you hurry to leave with your son. Time is tight. Wait until you get to a safe place outside the city."

"No, Nalan night, have you ever thought that you can solve this matter without such a big fight and let Dongwan withdraw their troops!" Luo qingluan's eyes flashed and his cunning color flashed, "after all, it's hard for us to leave Dongwan and avoid so many pursuers all the way. It's better to let them dare not chase and can't chase."

Nalan night saw her eyes and understood: "qingluan, what idea did you think of?"

Luo qingluan pointed at him and whispered a few words in his ear. As soon as Nalan heard it, a smile floated on his lips.

"Only your brain can think of such an idea." He shook his head and smiled.
