Baili Jinxiu looked at the surrounding guards from the Prince An Palace with a complicated gaze, then turned and returned to the residence. It seemed that Gong Xiaohan had made his move.
When Gong Xiaoxuan returned, he saw the densely packed guards at the entrance, a dark light flashed past his eyes, and without showing any sign of happiness or anger, he directly entered the Duke Palace. Seeing this, the guards were all drenched in cold sweat. This was the Battle-King of Grean Yan, if he was angry, it was possible to kill all of them on the spot. After all, the rumored Battle-King was incomparably bloodthirsty.
Seeing Gong Xiaoxuan calmly enter the Duke Palace, the two tails behind him glanced at each other, and then flew towards the Eastern Palace. However, they did not know that all of this had entered the eyes of Gong Xiaoxuan and Baili Jinxiu in the Palace.
"Gong Xiaohan finally could not hold it in anymore. Should Prince add fuel to his fire? I just don't know where those kids are. " Baili Jinxiu looked at the dark blue sky and sighed slowly.
As long as the Emperor in the palace did not wake up, Gong Xiaohan and the pressure on them would increase. Right now, making a move was something that was completely expected, but it was unknown where the children who were taken away were, or whether they were safe or not.
Gong Xiaoxuan s cold eyes slanted to the side as he gave a light grunt.
"The chess pieces have all taken effect."
Hearing that, Baili Jinxiu's eyes lit up, the battle that had nothing to do with the smoke was finally about to begin.
In the Crown Prince's Palace, the steward was in a dilemma as he held the invitation in his hand.
This invitation was passed out from the palace. He had just browsed through it and it was actually the Princess Mingxi who had invited the crown prince to the palace to reminisce. Not many people knew about Gong Xiaohan's cooperation with Yue Yang, but the butler naturally didn't.
Thus, after seeing the invitation card, he was puzzled for a long time before feeling somewhat uneasy. Right now, the Emperor in the palace was unconscious, so the Crown Prince had to suppress the matter on the side of the Qing Jun. If he went to the palace to meet with the Princess Mingxi and spread some news, it would be bad for the Crown Prince.
He only felt that the invitation in his hand was burning in panic.
The steward anxiously looked to both sides, and through the flower bed, he could vaguely see a young master dressed in white playing with a zither. Immediately, his eyes lit up, and he took the invitation and walked over.
"Young Master Hua is in a good mood." His name was Hua Chen, and he was the strategist the crown prince brought back a few days ago. It was said that he was extremely favored by the crown prince, and upon entering the Palace, he had the feeling that he was the leader of a group of advisors.
Hua Chen stroked the last zither note, and after smoothing the vibrating strings flat, he revealed a refined smile to the butler, and replied: "I wonder what business does the butler have?"
Not only was Hua Chen favored by the Crown Prince, he was also very friendly with others and was welcomed after entering the palace for just a few days.
The butler studied Hua Chen and smiled as he passed over the invitation. "Since the invitation was sent to you in the palace, and the crown prince is not here, please pass it to me, Young Noble."
Hua Chen looked at the invitation with interest. The invitation from the palace was probably too bright and clear for him to sit on, but this butler … Hua Chen smiled lightly and received the invitation.
"It's my duty."
The night was dark, and the study of the crown prince's mansion was extremely quiet. Gong Xiaohan read the letter that the secret guard had delivered, then turned to look, where Hua Chen was still studying his zither music.
He knew this Hua Chen from the teahouse. At that time, Hua Chen was sitting by the window with a zither on his back, the sound of the zither slowly poured out. It was as if he was enchanted and involuntarily made friends with his.
After finding out that Hua Chen was an idiot, she invited him to come to the palace to be his zither master. He didn't expect that not only was his zither skills outstanding, his strategy was also exceptional. If Gong Xiaohan got the problem that usually troubled him, it could be solved with just a few words from Hua Chen. Furthermore, Hua Chen never asked or cared about much. He was completely indifferent to fame and fortune, and would only get excited when he saw the zither music.
This completely dispelled Gong Xiaohan's worries, and normally, he would ask Hua Chen a few things that he could not discuss with others.
"Hua Chen, what do you think Baili Jinxiu will do?"
Gong Xiaohan handed over the letter that the secret guard sent over, and the report on the situation during the day at the entrance of the Prince An Mansion.
Hua Chen swept his eyes over the crowd, seemingly feeling bored, turned his gaze and took out the invitation card given by the butler, throwing it over. With a clear voice, he said, "I don't know how to deal with Baili Jinxiu, but you should think about how to deal with this Princess Mingxi first."
Gong Xiaohan picked up the invitation card and scanned through it, his eyes dimmed and an unfathomable light flashed in his eyes.
"Hua Chen, do you want to go alone or not?"
The situation outside of the palace was extremely tense, if he was caught red-handed by Gong Xiaoxuan when he entered the palace, then he would be in a lot of trouble. However, if he did not enter the palace, who knew what actions he would take. He was truly at a loss.
Hua Chen shook his head, he flipped the zither music book over and over.
"It would be wrong to go or not. It would be better to just stay put. When people get anxious, they will naturally come to our door."
Gong Xiaohan's eyes lit up, this Hua Chen's idea was indeed perfect.
The next day, a eunuch from the palace sent several more invitations to the crown prince's residence. When the secret guard came in the afternoon to deliver the letter, Gong Xiaohan merely read it and threw it away like scrap paper.
When night time came, Gong Xiaohan and Hua Chen were still in the study room, one handling matters while the other researching the zither music, an enchanting voice sounded.
"The Grean Yan Crown Prince has such a big frame. I've sent people to invite him many times but they still haven't moved me."
The slightly raised tail caused one's heart to soften a bit, hearing the voice, one knew that the person who had come was Princess Mingxi, who should be in the palace.
Hua Chen frowned, he kept the zither music and walked out, Gong Xiaohan did not stop him, and watched him walk out.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that the crown prince of Grean Yan would actually like this. He doesn't even want the world for the sake of beauty."
Ming Qing directly went to find a chair to lean on, the usual laziness and allure, but the words that she said were sharp and sharp, causing Gong Xiaohan to frown.
The clear meaning behind her words was that he had raised a male pet in the mansion, so he wasn't willing to see her for the sake of that male pet?
Gong Xiaohan felt that it was extremely funny, he could not be bothered with the clear ridicule from the Ming Dynasty, he returned to the table and continued to read the information that he had not finished reading.
Being ignored as air by Gong Xiaohan time and time again, the clear patience had also grinded to the end. If this Gong Xiaohan did not rely on himself and Jin Nie, he would only be an unknown prince right now.
Now that the situation in the palace was tense and she couldn't even invite him into the palace, did she feel that her wings had hardened and wanted to draw a clear line with her?
"Crown Prince Grean Yan, now that the Emperor is unconscious, and Gong Xiaoxuan's hidden guards are moving around frequently, besides calling a temple official to surround the Prince An Palace, tell me what else do you plan to do so that I can be at ease and avoid damaging our cooperation."
Being under the eaves of a house, Xiao Yan finally lowered his head a little and slowed his tone. However, his attitude was still extremely arrogant.
