Xiao Chenglang sent several teams to explore Xia Jin's origin, and all the information he got was in the hands of Chen Yong.
Therefore, Chen Yong is sure that Xia Jin lied in the imperial study.
"Thank you for telling me that if I make any arrangement, I will follow you to the palace."
At the end of the speech, Xiao Yiyuan waved to the housekeeper and did not shy away from Chen Yong, who was present
"This is the king's order. Let Xiao Qi and Lu Qing go to Jinxiu Lane together. No matter what happens, you must protect Xia Jin carefully!"
"Yes, Lord."
Although the housekeeper was surprised, he didn't dare to neglect anything. After blessing himself, he quickly went to do it.
After he left, Xiao Yiyuan looked at Chen Yong again
"Mr. Chen, please."
"Lord Yi, please!"
Called back by Xiao Yiyuan's voice, Chen Yong was shocked and opened his mouth with a smile.
……
Half an hour later, Xiao Yiyuan appeared in the imperial study. As for Chen Yong, when he just came in, he let him stay outside.
"Yuan'er, you really take Xia Jin seriously."
Looking at the long body jade standing in front of the desk, the son with a cold face, Xiao Chenglang can't help feeling.
"Since you know it, you shouldn't think ill of her. I promised her that I would never let her become the second Shen Weiran. The tragedy of six years ago will not reappear... Unless I die! "
Xiao Yiyuan clenched his fists, and his strength was so strong that he even made a bang.
His face was as cold as ice, his voice was even more dark and cold, and his forehead was like a ghost Shura from hell.
He almost burst out these words from his teeth, especially the last four words. Even Xiao Chenglang was shocked for a long time.
Shen Weiran has an accident. He has been dead once.
If Xia Jin has something else to do, I'm afraid no one can pull his life back.
But
"Xia Jin's origin is a mystery, her identity is mysterious, and she has great wisdom, and she has made a series of lethal weapons that can shock people. If such a person can't guarantee that she will be absolutely harmless to Dongqing, I have no choice but to get rid of him as the king of a country... "
Xiao Chenglang doesn't intend to retreat, but he gives a solution that has been brewing in his mind for a long time
"Yuaner, I call you to let you know that I will not take her life until the end. Now you have three choices in front of you: marry her as your concubine; Or let her voluntarily serve as the official of zhengsipingti; Or... Stand by and do nothing about her. "
His words export, Xiao Yiyuan's tight body opposite obviously loosed a lot.
But the atmosphere in the imperial study was still stiff, low and oppressive, making it difficult to breathe.
Father and son face each other across the table, and neither of them is willing to speak first.
This situation lasted for a full hour, until Chen Yong outside reported through the door:
"Emperor, the prince asked to be present."
In this way, just broke the rigid atmosphere in the room.
"I'll let her choose one of the first two choices!"
Xiao Yiyuan coldly dropped a sentence and turned to leave. He didn't even bother to do the basic etiquette.
Xiao sighed, but shook his head and whispered:
"Yuaner, Dongqing is important, but you are also my favorite son. By doing so, I have not only avoided many possible crises, but also helped you... "
His voice became smaller and smaller. At last, it turned into a sigh.
As soon as Xiao Yiyuan left, Chen Yong came in. Just as he wanted to tell him that the prince was out to see him, Xiao Chenglang waved his hand and said:
"Are you really the prince? He was worried that I would fight with Yiwang and his son, so he came to resolve it
"The emperor is so wise. I didn't think of that."
Chen Yong smiles and flatters.
"You are the best at flattering..."
Xiao Cheng Lang glanced at Chen Yong, breathed a long breath, and then said:
"Well, since it's all right, you can let him go."
"Yes."
Chen Yong retreated.
……
Outside the imperial study.
As soon as Xiao yiyuanfu came out, he met the prince. Seeing that the inquiry in his eyes was obvious, he nodded slightly to show that the matter was over.
Although Xiao Yichen heard some news from the people in the palace, he only knew that his fourth younger brother was called to the Palace this time, which was related to Xia Jin.
When Xiao Yiyuan came to him, he invited him:
"Do you want to go to the east palace?"
"Don't worry, big brother. I can handle it."
Xiao Yiyuan knows the real purpose of the prince to let him go to the east palace.
Xia Jin is very stubborn, this time things will be more troublesome.
Prince identity sensitive, full face up and down there are too many pairs of eyes staring at him.
Xiao Yiyuan didn't want to drag him in, so he turned around and walked away.
Xiao Yichen stood in the same place and looked at Xiao Yiyuan's figure, which was gradually moving away. There was sadness in his deep and vast eyes.
Although their mother did something wrong, she did something right.
She has taught them since childhood that they must love and support each other, and that they should not harm each other for profit.
When they were young, they may not understand, but when they grow up, they deeply understand how precious family love is to them who were born in the royal family.
This time, his younger brother is in a difficult situation. As a elder brother, how can he sit back and watch?
……
It was nearly evening when Xiao Yiyuan came out of the palace. He looked up at the gray sky, and his depressed mood became worse.
He went straight to Jinxiu Lane on the horse he left at the entrance of the palace.
The imperial palace is far away from Jinxiu lane. Because there are still many pedestrians on the street, it took Xiao Yiyuan half an hour to arrive.
He accurately found the small courtyard where Xia Jin lived, tied the horse to the big tree at the door, and retreated to open the door of the courtyard.
After cleaning the courtyard, Xiao Yiyuan enters the main room, but he doesn't see Xia Jin. On the contrary, there is a sound coming from the next room.
He followed the sound and went. In the bedroom, Xia Jin was busy packing up her things, and obviously went to her heart.
"Xia Jin."
Xiao Yiyuan frowned and called her out.
With a familiar voice, Xia Jin is busy. She mechanically turns to look at Xiao Yiyuan and opens her mouth. Her tone is indifferent and alienated
"Lord Yi, what's up?"
"Must we go?"
Xiao Yiyuan didn't answer her and asked instead.
"I have to go!"
Xia Jin looks firm, tone determined, obviously do not want to give Xiao Yiyuan a chance.
Knowing it's wrong, it's time to stop!
"Xia Jin!"
Xiao Yiyuan called her heavily. On his cold face, his sword eyebrows wrinkled tightly, and there was even a trace of injury in his deep eyes.
No matter what he did, she had only two words for him: refuse!
Then, let fate make the choice.
"After you left the imperial study, my father called me to the palace. Now you have two choices, either to be a sentencing officer or... To marry me."
In the last three words, Xiao Yiyuan didn't know what kind of mentality he had in mind. In a word, his heart was very bitter.
Xia Jin pulled the corner of her lips, pretending not to care
"Lord Yi, you are really joking. How could the emperor allow me to resign and return to the wild..."
