The study room was brightly lit, and Xiao Ji was sitting in front of the desk, playing with a dagger in his hand. The fire was jumping, and the sharp blade reflected the cold light.
The door of the study room was pushed open from the outside, and Lin Luo walked in with a smile on his face. When he saw the prince sitting in front of the desk, his eyes were slightly lowered, and he walked in with a hint of shyness, and saluted.
"Your Majesty."
Xu Yan and Liuyun Liufeng then walked in and closed the study door.
When Xiao Ji raised his eyes and looked at Lin Luo, a murderous intent flashed across his eyes, "You have been in the palace for a while, and I said that I will not treat you badly."
Lin Luo felt happy when she heard this. The prince finally saw that she was healed.
Could it be that he wanted to marry her as a concubine?
As long as she becomes the side concubine, the position of the principal concubine will be hers sooner or later.
"What did the prince say? As long as she can stay with the prince, a common girl will be satisfied."
Lin Luo looked at the prince with a shy look. She knew that men like shy and reserved women, and naturally she didn't like a man as noble as the prince who had a few concubines around him who were wild and bold.
"I always speak my mind." Xiao Ji clamped the handle of the dagger between her slender fingers, with a cold look in her eyes, "You have such a sweet mouth, we can't let it go to waste."
When Lin Luo heard the prince praising herself, the smile on her lips became more and more obvious, and her eyes were filled with pride.
Xiao Ji looked at Xu Yan and said in a voice colder than a thousand years of ice, "Cut off her mouth."
When Lin Luo heard this, he was stunned on the spot and looked at the prince in disbelief, "Your Majesty, are you kidding?"
Xiao Ji looked at Lin Luo coldly, her eyes like a deep pool without any emotion.
"It's the prince." Xu Yan strode towards Lin Luo.
Lin Luo looked at Xu Yan who was walking towards him, and suddenly saw a dagger shining with cold light in his hand. His face turned pale with fright, his legs went weak, and he fell to the ground.
She turned to look at the prince and shouted desperately: "Your Majesty, please have mercy on me, Your Majesty, please have mercy on me..."
Xu Yan knelt down in front of Lin Luo, grabbed Lin Luo's chin with his hand, and said expressionlessly: "Miss Lin, you should never talk nonsense in front of the princess and sow the relationship between the prince and the princess. .”
Lin Luo struggled for a while, but couldn't break away from Xu Yan's hand. When she heard this, she froze on the spot, as if she had discovered something terrible.
Is it possible to stir up feelings between the prince and the princess...
Lin Luo looked at the prince with wide eyes. She always thought that the prince liked Tang Wanqing, but she didn't expect that it was that fool Fu Yuanxiao.
She couldn't accept this fact.
The prince likes a fool but doesn't like her either?
How could she be willing to do this?
Just when Lin Luo was shocked, Xu Yan picked up the dagger in his hand and dropped it without any hesitation.
"ah!!!"
Lin Luo covered her mouth, blood flowed uncontrollably from her fingers, and the pain had occupied all her attention.
Looking at Xiao Ji sitting in front of the book desk, his expression was calm, but his eyes were ruthless and bloodthirsty.
It was also at this moment that she discovered that Xiao Ji was a Shura from hell, a devil.
Xiao Ji stood up and walked over slowly, condescendingly looking down at Lin Luo, who was covered in blood. She was looking at him in horror, without the past admiration.
"You should be glad that I am in a good mood tonight, otherwise, I will definitely make your life worse than death."
Xiao Ji said this and strode out.
Lin Luo's eyes widened in horror. He really didn't understand why Xiao Ji liked a fool?
When he reached the door, Xiao Ji stopped and said, "Pull out her tongue too."
After saying a cold word, Xiao Ji's slender figure disappeared from the door.
Xu Yan has followed the prince for so long, so he naturally understands the meaning of the prince's words.
He looked at Lin Luo in front of him, covered in blood, and was already frightened.
"When the prince saw Miss Lin for the first time, he knew what she was thinking. Lin, do you really think that the prince is attracted by Miss Lin's beauty?"
Xu Yan added: "Miss Lin wants to climb up to the prince and enjoy the glory and wealth, but Miss Lin's cleverness is used in the wrong place. The princess is the prince's counterpart and is not someone you can use to provoke."
After Xu Yan finished speaking, Lin Luo was shocked and pulled out her tongue.
Then he stood up and said, "Throw it to the wolves."
Liuyun nodded, directly found a straw mat, wrapped the person up and carried him out.
Xu Yan looked on expressionlessly, he was used to these things.
However, the prince's attraction to the princess still surprised him.
After following him for many years, Xu Yan knew the prince too well and wanted to compete for the throne. Women were dispensable to him.
Not even able to be attracted to women.
Until Fu Yuanxiao appeared, it was clear that he was a fool. He couldn't be said to be a fool, but more like a child who didn't understand anything.
It happened that it was precisely because he didn't understand anything that the prince lowered his guard and got along with her.
Xu Yan didn't know whether this phenomenon was good or bad, but he knew that with Fu Yuanxiao, the prince seemed a little different.
The news of Lin Luo's disappearance spread in the palace three days later.
When the housekeeper came forward to explain, "Miss Lin has left the palace."
Tang Wanqing felt a little confused. Lin Luo wanted to leave, so why didn't he come to say goodbye to her?
Now that the person is gone, it is useless to say this.
Fu Yuanxiao learned about it from Baozhu in the afternoon.
"Girl, that Miss Lin is finally gone. From the beginning, I thought Miss Lin was a bad person. I think it was the prince who drove her away."
Fu Yuanxiao paused while eating the pastry, and suddenly remembered that she had mentioned Lin Luo to Xiao Ji a few nights ago.
Could it be that Xiao Ji drove them away because of this incident?
However, she didn't like Lin Luo either, so it would be good to drive him away.
I will never provoke him in front of her again.
The emperor has been seriously ill recently, and the crown prince has not yet been decided.
No one knew what the emperor was thinking, let alone who he wanted to make the crown prince.
On the surface it looks like everything is calm, but in fact it has been a life-and-death fight for a long time.
There are many princes under the emperor's knees, and those who are ambitious will naturally want to take advantage of this opportunity to obtain the position of prince.
For a time, undercurrents surged inside and outside the court.
It was rare for the emperor to go to court in the morning, so the officials began to argue over the issue of establishing a prince.
The emperor just listened and did not express his opinion.
Xiao Ji was the only one who watched them fight calmly and calmly, without any intention of fighting.
Also calm was Xiao Che.
After going to court, Xiao Che asked Xiao Ji, "Fourth brother, who do you think my father will appoint as the crown prince?"
Xiao Ji chuckled: "I don't know either. Father can make whoever he wants to be the crown prince. We can't guess."
Xiao Che nodded in agreement upon hearing this, "Fourth brother is right. Whoever the father wants to appoint can be the one he wants. We cannot control him."
Xiao Ji looked at the figures of several princes not far away. His father didn't want to establish a prince at first, but now he had to.
No matter who is appointed as the prince, it will be a bloody storm.
Xiao Ji didn't want to be flooded. He didn't have to be a prince to become an emperor.
Back at Prince Yu's Mansion, Xiao Ji walked straight into the study.
Xu Yan then walked in and waited for instructions.
Xiao Ji sat down in front of the desk and wrote a letter.
After he finished writing, he folded the letter and put it in the envelope, and said, "Give this letter to Tang Xiangguo."
"It's the prince." Xu Yan took two steps forward, picked up the letter, and exited.
The letter was delivered to the Prime Minister's Mansion by Liuyun without anyone noticing.
In the study, Tang Xiangguo opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, and smiled after reading it.
He has a little more confidence in Xiao Ji's fight for the throne.
After reading the letter, he raised the letter in his hand and handed it to the candlelight, then threw it into the brazier and watched the letter burn with his own eyes.
In the morning court the next day, Tang Xiangguo stood up when everyone was quarreling.
"Your Majesty, I think it is more appropriate to establish a sixth prince."
As soon as Tang Xiangguo finished speaking, the hall suddenly became quiet, and the eyes looking at Tang Xiangguo were full of confusion and questioning.
The emperor heard this and looked at Tang Xiangguo. As we all know, Tang Xiangguo's daughter married King Yu. As a result, Tang Xiangguo not only did not help King Yu, but instead supported the sixth prince, which surprised the emperor.
"Tang Xiangguo is also an important minister in the court, and he takes a longer-term view than ordinary people. Sixth Prince," the emperor smiled, "I will consider it."
Tang Xiangguo didn't say anything after hearing this.
The emperor looked at Xiao Ji and saw that he lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, as if he didn't care about this matter and was not surprised.
According to the news he received, Xiao Ji had no intention of competing for the throne, which made him feel at ease.
Xiao Ji lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, as if he didn't hear anything. A smile flashed in his deep eyes where no one could see him.
Back at Prince Yu's Mansion, Xiao Ji walked into the study.
Xu Yan then walked in and announced, "Your Majesty, Concubine Tang sent someone to spread the news and is waiting for Your Majesty to have dinner at Jingshu Courtyard."
Xiao Ji only hesitated for a while and then agreed, "Yes."
After Xu Yan received the prince's response, he sent someone to Jingshu Courtyard to inform Concubine Tang.
When Concubine Tang learned that Xiao Ji would come for dinner in the evening, her eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy.
"Huanyu, I want to cook dinner myself."
Huan Yu knew his girl very well. It was rare for the prince to come to have a meal. If the girl was happy, she would naturally cook in person.
"Okay. Girl."
Tang Wanqing personally cooked and prepared a table of meals.
Tang Wanqing was very satisfied when she looked at the sumptuous meal in front of her, which was both tasty and delicious.
Xiao Ji stepped in and saw the table full of food. He smelled the aroma as soon as he came in.
Tang Wanqing saw Xiao Ji coming and hurriedly stood up to salute, but was stopped by Xiao Ji, "No need to be more polite."
In Tang Wanqing's eyes, this move meant that Xiao Ji felt sorry for her because he liked her.
Huan Yu put a jug of wine on the table, then picked up the jug, filled the wine glass in front of the prince, and then stepped aside.
Tang Wanqing picked up the serving chopsticks, put some vegetables into the bowl in front of Xiao Ji, and said softly: "Your Highness, these are all made by me, you can try them."
"Yeah." Xiao Ji lowered his eyes and looked at the dishes in front of him, picked up the chopsticks and put a little into his mouth to eat.
"Yeah, it tastes good."
When Tang Wanqing heard this sentence, it was nothing to worry about after being busy all afternoon.
"Your Majesty, this peach blossom wine was sent by my father a few days ago. You should also drink some and try it."
Xiao Ji glanced at the wine glass in front of him, hesitated for a moment, then picked it up and brought it to his lips for a few sips, and found that it tasted good.
Tang Wanqing would pick up food for Xiao Ji from time to time, and found that Xiao Ji ate very slowly, chewed carefully, and looked very good while eating.
During this meal, Xiao Ji drank two glasses of wine and a bowl of rice.
Tang Wanqing raised her head, looked at Xiao Ji who was wiping his mouth with a wet handkerchief, and pursed his lips, "Does the prince want to stay tonight?"
Xiao Ji paused in wiping, not just because of Tang Wanqing's words. He found that there was a bit of heat, especially in his lower abdomen, which felt like it was on fire.
Good night, babies!
