"Your Majesty, Pear Blossom is here on behalf of someone else to bring a letter for Your Majesty." Riko carefully took out a letter from her chest and held it up to her head with both hands. The king's personal guard then took the letter and handed it to the king.

Zhuang Li could only wait outside the hall and listen for any movements.

No one knew what was written inside. They only saw that when the old King opened one of the letters, he suddenly became absent-minded, as if he was about to cry. However, in the end, he managed to stabilize himself and his hands were trembling. His expression was even more excited and shocked than the night when he was forced to go to Eldest Prince. He seemed to have suffered a great deal and barely managed to stabilize himself on the throne after clenching his teeth.

After a long while, he held onto the armrest and slowly stood up. He said something, which probably meant: You've all dispersed, what should I do …

It was as if the many years of fatigue that had accumulated since he had ascended to the throne had suddenly piled onto him, causing him to be unable to straighten his back.

Zhuang Li was waiting outside the hall. She saw the old king slowly walking out, his pace was extremely slow, as though he had aged ten years. His bodyguard went to support him, but was pushed away.

No one was punished, no one was rewarded. What Luo Lihua handed over must be the most crucial piece of evidence in this matter, but the letter was eventually burnt by the King, and no one knew the information inside.

Perhaps the king was too old and soft-hearted to blame any of his sons. He had fought in the battlefield as a young man. He had seen the cold and warm nature of the world and had enjoyed the prosperity of peace and harmony in the world. At this age, when something like this happens, I suddenly want to be a father from the king. A father who knows how to give in to fate and defend his children.

There were no more messages in the outside world, even the people of the court did not know what kind of result the confrontation between His Highness and the Third Prince had. Furthermore, the people of the Fanbo City did not know that the two princes of their country had once had a fight to the death.

Perhaps it was at the king's behest, or perhaps it was a tacit agreement, but all in all, the news of this matter had been completely cleared up the day the old king left the hall. It was as if nothing had ever happened …

The Second Prince returned to the border to reorganize his soldiers. The Third Prince was still in charge of the peace within and outside the imperial city. Princess Ge Ya continued to live her life freely. Look at the snow and hunt. Go to court with the old king...

A few days later, Luo Lihua sat in her most luxurious carriage, which was covered in gold and gems as she swaggered out of the Fanbo City to follow her Young Master Loulan.

However, that day, everyone in the hall clearly understood that the situation in the Peace Court had irreversibly changed. No matter how much the Third Prince tried to defend himself, he would never be able to obtain the position of the King.

When Zhuang Li sent Luo Lihua out of the Fanbo City, she asked her what kind of secret was hidden in that letter that could make the old king feel as if her entire being had collapsed.

Luo Lihua smiled with her charming eyes, and placed her hand on Zhuang Li's shoulder: "Guess ~"

Zhuang Li was furious, this woman, was not serious, but she had a sharp mouth. Furthermore, with her personality, even if she did not plan to tell Zhuang Li, she still planned to take advantage of him a little …

"I guess I can use it to ask you? I have already thought of many possibilities. If the letter from Young Master Loulan does not have that much weight, then it can only mean that there is something else in the letter. "

Luo Lihua's smile became even more brilliant. Her fingers moved along Zhuang Li's neck as she tried to feel around, acting innocent as if she was watching a play. "That's right, what else is in the envelope?"

"Could it be that the Third Prince has something in his hands? But I also thought about it, Young Master Loulan only has business dealings with Eldest Prince and Third Prince, these are all small matters to the King. Even the illegal black market is not enough for the king to have such a huge reaction? "

"That Third Prince is as cunning as a ghost. He hid his own tail well, so naturally, he wouldn't let us catch him." Luo Lihua honestly came to a conclusion.

"Then what else could it be?"

Luo Lihua stared at Zhuang Li, and once again gave her a charming smile. This made Zhuang Li even more anxious in her heart.

"Stop laughing, there are so many officials and nobles in West Cold spending so many gold leaves to buy your smile. If you want to laugh, why don't you save it and find them to exchange for some money for my flowers."

Her breathing was like orchids, lightly exhaling on her earlobe, making Zhuang Li involuntarily shiver. Immediately after, she felt goosebumps rising all over her skin from the itch caused by her breath.

"He didn't leave anything for us to catch, but... The Eldest Prince had left behind many things. Just when the boss was being controlled by the Old Third in the army, he had entrusted a trusted aide to send a letter to the Young Master Loulan asking for help.

The letter said that he was trapped by the Old Third, and upon sensing the Old Third's sinister intentions, he was afraid that he would not be able to take it. Each word was filled with grief and indignation. "I can't help but feel sad when I see it ~"

"What!?" Why didn't he send a letter to the palace? "

"Eldest Prince is not stupid, he knows clearly how many people there are in the palace, many of them were even arranged by him. He thought that the Young Master Loulan was safe. "It's a pity that my young master doesn't feel that he's safe and naturally isn't willing to help him ~"

Zhuang Li was unable to accept such powerful information, which meant that Young Master Loulan had long known that something was going to happen to Eldest Prince, but because he had been unhappy with Eldest Prince for so many years, he did not save his. Now, she sent a letter to the king requesting help, allowing him to understand everything that happened that day clearly.

"Then wouldn't Young Master Loulan not report it? Aren't you afraid that the king will blame you? "

Luo Li Hua slapped Zhuang Li on the head, "You're just worrying too much, Young Master Loulan's stomach has at least a hundred times more flowers than you. There are thousands of kinds of lies about being able to pick yourself clean. What a far-sighted man he was. Eight hundred years ago, you saw that Xi Cuo had the talent of the King, and decided to secretly help him. "

"Xi Cuo has nothing to do with me, he's not my family's …"

Luo Lihua sighed: "Why are you going around in circles with me … Li'er, you are clearly very smart, but you always worry too much. I always say that you are stupid, but the truth is that I hope that you, a fool, have a good fortune. However, looking at your current appearance, I feel quite at ease …

If you ever get tired of the palace, come find me. Sis can raise you into a fat man without a lack of food and clothes. If you want to marry someone, then marry Xi Cuo! In the future, Lou Lan and I will be able to come back to you and seek you out for some business with your man … "

Only when she wanted to wave her hand did she remember that her arm was still tied up. The doctor had come to change medicine before, and due to the majesty and warning of Second Prince's Highness Xi Cuo, he still tied her up and dropped her onto his chest. Anyone who saw her would think that she was heavily injured. Thus, she could only raise her other, intact and nimble hand and wave it clumsily. It was unknown whether or not Pear Blossom had seen it.

The king was heartbroken. Even the palace banquet at the end of the year was just a matter of grass. Although he looked calm on the surface, he had really changed a lot in the dark. Xi Cuo had been summoned to meet him after he returned from the border, and he even had a beautiful dinner together with him.

"It's the new year, Suijian. It's time to go back."

If he did not mention the Third Prince, then the rest of the people did not mention it either. However, he was clear in his heart. Third Prince's body would never be able to turn over again.

The weather at West Cold was so cold that it was bone-chilling. The letters that the carvings brought from the border would always remind her to wear more. If you feel too cold, don't even come out.

As Zhuang Li read this letter, she continued to battle with Qing You in the outskirts of the city. How could she have heard half of what Xi Cuo had said? She lay in bed for half a month until she fell into a snowy nest with a frostbitten leg. She and Ge Ya were both careful not to let even the slightest bit of information out, as they were afraid that Xi Cuo would know what to do with the two of them.

When Zhuang Li laid on the bed obediently, she started to let her imagination run wild again …

The feeling of being cared for was not bad.

She had met someone she liked over the past twenty years, but others didn't like her. He didn't dare to confess to the other party for several years straight. He didn't even dare to enter into a relationship with him. Adding on the fact that she had been in this world for seven years, she was already an old man who had lived for thirty years. When he thought here, he touched his own face with some lingering fear.

Fortunately, his face was filled with puberty collagen. Zhao Ci's face, which had dried up like a bitter gourd for the rest of his childhood and girlhood, now looked even more plentiful and wonderful.

Then maybe we should have a love affair.

She remembered what Luo Lihua had said.

"If you want to marry someone, naturally marrying Xi Cuo would be extremely good."

The white eagle landed on the window frame of the King Xiao's Palace again, after taking out the letter, Qing You handed it over to Zhuang Li and started playing with it. She fluttered back and forth like she was trying to catch a chicken. This made Zhuang Li laugh.

But when Zhuang Li saw the letter, she could not laugh anymore.

The border army had already stabilized. In the beginning of spring, Xi Cuo would return to the Profound Sky Continent to wait for the King's order to travel to different countries to build a relationship with them.

And he wanted to bring Zhuang Li along when she travels across countries.

To go or not to go? It seemed like he had no other choice … Did the crown prince still have to defy his request?

Ge Ya wanted to go, but he could not. She still needed people in the capital to take care of the king's emotions. She stared at Zhuang Li with jealousy and envy.

"Then I'll go …" "It's not like your brother will eat me up anyways. Haha …"

Ge Ya rolled his eyes at her, and laughed lewdly with malicious intent.

It would be a wonder if my brother didn't eat you up...
