Gu Qingli walked up and told her where Xiao Yiyan had gone.
"If you can catch him and bring him back, then ask him to come back to the East Abyss to visit us."
The princess nodded her head, then lightly bit her lower lip. Suddenly, she raised her head and asked, "Do you not hate this princess?"
Gu Qingli smiled and shook her head. "But if you can change your delicate temperament, then you'll be even cuter."
Princess Lan Xun didn't seem to appreciate her kindness and curled her lips. "Who wants you to praise being cute?" This princess doesn't care. "
However, when she turned around, her eyes lit up and her heart softened a little.
"Princess Mo, thank you for not liking him!"
Gu Qingli couldn't help but laugh. This princess really couldn't change her habit of never lowering her head. Even though she was grateful to others, her words were still as awkward as before. He hoped that she would be able to bring out something called "gentleness" when she met Xiao Yiyan.
Xiao Yi Xiu embraced him from behind as he chuckled, "This Princess Lan Xun is even gentler than you. How come I have never seen your gentle side?"
Gu Qing Li's face suddenly flushed red. She pushed him lightly and said, "It's not like I said I'm gentle."
"Like you said, no matter how strong a woman is, she will always have a gentle side to her beloved man. Let This King see your gentleness …"
"Don't... "This is the reception hall …" Gu Qingli's entire body went limp. She had no power to resist, so she could only try to resist in vain. However, he still held her by her waist.
On the public road outside the capital, a handsome horse was galloping at high speed. The riders on the horse were all dressed in fine clothing, and the bright red color of cinnabar was very eye-catching.
"Wait …" "King Chen, wait!"
Xiao Yiyan suddenly turned around, dust flying behind him. The young girl on the horse was flying in the air with bright eyes and white teeth; she was like a beautiful sunset. However, he didn't want to get away.
He locked his eyebrows and turned around. He tightly controlled the reins and urged the horses to increase their speed.
"Don't even think of avoiding me. Let me tell you, even if it's the ends of the earth, I, Yan Lanjian, will still follow you!" It was a clear and delicate voice, yet it carried a bit of willfulness with it as it was sworn in.
Xiao Yiyan's head hurt even more, so he didn't say a word.
Fate was indeed a wondrous thing. When you wanted it, it came rather late; when you didn't want it, it turned into a wicked thing and kept pestering you … At this moment, Xiao Yiyan wanted to die.
In the capital, Prince Chen's departure and the search by Princess Orchid Xunxi were like a small earthquake that shook the entire imperial palace.
The Emperor had sent out three thousand soldiers and horses to search for her, but no one could be found throughout the capital – the strange thing was, that Princess Lan Xun had only taken away Jing Yuan, while her entire Western Garrison had only come three days ago to bid him farewell and report the news of her departure.
This simply caused the Emperor to feel incomparably furious, but Princess Bluesilver's attack made it so that he no longer had any time to chase after her.
Other than being enraged, the empress didn't have to worry too much about persuading him. If Princess Lan Xun really did catch up to Xiao Yiyan, no matter what method she used to move him, she only needed to achieve the goal of marrying Dongyuan into the west.
The king was helpless. He could only ask Lin Lisheng to bring the news back to the west. He claimed that the princess and king were happy to have a marriage with the west.
In any case, this matter couldn't be blamed on the people of Dongyuan city. Who allowed Princess Xiyan to act willfully and recklessly and wreak havoc?
Lin Lisheng, on the other hand, smiled and accepted the order, indicating that he was willing to lie.
He had no choice. The princess had eloped with someone else before she even left the pavilion. Was the Western Emperor that proud of his reputation?
Actually, there was no one who was more shocked and infuriated than the empress.
Although the princess had taken a fancy to Prince Chen and did not care about everything to chase after him, he had still secretly left the capital. He might even have to leave the East Abyss — in this crucial moment of strife, hadn't his move completely wiped away her momentum? She could only rely on the excuse of marriage to maintain the position of the king and send people to get the king back.
This blow had caused the Queen to almost fall apart. In just a few days, half of her black hair had turned white.
On the contrary, Imperial Concubine Ling and Imperial Concubine Lan were gloating. It might be a loss to get married, but apart from Prince Chen, who was the biggest obstacle, they were happy about it.
In Imperial Concubine Lan's heart, the only person who could stand in front of Xiao Yi Jin was Xiao Yi Xiu.
Imperial Concubine Ling's mother family had already shown their dejection. She could only try her best to turn the tide, but it was difficult for her to regain her composure. After Ling Yuanzhang's case, Xiaoyi Mo had dealt with the matter of the hunt very badly. His position in the Emperor's heart had been declining, and when he saw Ling Yuanzhang recently, he hadn't even bothered to glance at him.
In the end, he found some clues about the bodies of those dancers — they were assassins that were secretly kept by the former president of the Crimson Yue Association, You Chenguang.
When Zhu Wei An lost his power and exile and You Chenguang exterminated his entire family, the remnants of their forces wanted to destroy the Xiao Imperial Family in one go. Even if they couldn't, as long as they killed Princess Lanxun at the party and destroyed their relationship with the West, they would have achieved the goal of provoking the war in the West of the Eastern Abyss.
As a result, their main target had been Princess Orchid.
In the end, the Ministry of Justice used this as a way to end this case and cleared out the two remaining members of the Ministry of Justice, Zhu Wei and You. As for Ling Yuanzhang, his crimes had increased, and he had been exiled for twenty years, so he had become a servant of the palace. Within three generations, he could not take any achievements.
From the looks of it, this matter had been handled fairly, especially with the participation of Xiao Yi Mo.
However, only Xiao Yi Mo himself knew the reason for this suffering. From the beginning to the end, Xiao Yi Bin and the Prince Yi, Xiao Yi Fei, had only toyed with his participation. They had not allowed him to participate in any important decisions, and had only made him a pathetic bystander.
Where the evidence had come from was truly strange. Logically speaking, it was completely incomprehensible. Since Ling Yuanzhang and Zhu Wei An had been exiled, how could He Chenguang order so many assassins around again?
Furthermore, Xiao Yi Mo himself was the clearest in their eyes. He had never raised such a large group of assassins. The evidence against him was simply framing them.
But there was nothing he could do.
However, when he went to the palace to visit Imperial Concubine Ling, he allowed his mother to hug him and cry bitterly.
"Mo'er, what should we do? "Your eldest uncle is like this, while second uncle hasn't returned to the capital yet. Mufei is currently at a loss …"
Xiao Yi Mo gritted his teeth. He clearly knew why Ling Yun had yet to return to the capital. This was all part of Prince Li's plan, and behind him was his father, the Emperor.
Although the Prime Minister Gu Chaoran had also suggested recalling Ling Long, the Emperor had rejected the request on the ground that there was no general in the court who could replace General Ling.
Xiao Yi Mo could only hope that Lu Li would return in triumph and use his military exploits to restore the Ling Family's power.
"Mufei, don't worry. There will be a way." Actually, Xiao Yi Mo was well aware of the fact that with the current situation, even Ling Long's return might not be able to change anything.
"No." Imperial Concubine Ling slowly stopped crying. The previously arrogant and beautiful face was also filled with fear. "Mufei, your royal father doesn't like us anymore. He's deliberately distancing himself from you … Suppressing you, he... Could it be that he wants to help Xiao Yijin become a senior? "
Xiao Yi Mo's hands were trembling, and his legs were a little numb. He had thought about this before.
"We... Should we think of a way for Xiao Yijin to lead his army and exchange it for second uncle? "
"I'm afraid your royal father will not agree." Although Imperial Concubine Ling's intellect was lacking, she still had some understanding of the emperor. she murmured, powerless.
However, Xiao Yi Mo was deep in thought. As long as he had a goal, he would slowly think of it. It was better than not having a goal and losing his cool.
