Xiao Ruoyun had always known that the relationship between Gu Ruanruan and the second prince was not as simple as he imagined, but Xiao Ruoyun was still shocked to hear her words related to matters in the court.

"Are you crazy?! Do you dare to get involved in matters in the court?!"

Gu Ruanruan didn't take it seriously and said: "Since I want to protect me, I naturally have to show my value to others. I can help him in political affairs. This is my value."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Ruoyun who looked shocked: "Second Master, we just didn't understand each other in the past and hid a lot from each other, so I didn't tell you some things. Don't worry, I can't give him anything." It’s a child’s play, if the second master wants it, I can make the second master achieve more outstanding achievements in the court than the Marquis. As long as you ask, I will do anything for you.”

Xiao Ruoyun's mind was a little confused: "What? You mean... I know that waterwheel. Could it be that the Feitian Fangzi that shocked His Majesty before was also made by you?"

Gu Ruanruan nodded: "Of course, and these are just the tip of the iceberg..."

Seeing Xiao Ruoyun's eyes wavering, Gu Ruanruan bit his lower lip and waved to Xiao Ruoyun, "Second Master, come over."

Xiao Ruoyun looked hesitant and slowly came closer, Gu Ruanruan whispered.

Xiao Ruoyun's eyes widened little by little, and when he got to the back, he was so shocked that he couldn't even speak!

"You, everything you said is true?! Do you really know...well!"

Gu Ruanruan's eyes quickly covered his mouth with her hands: "What I said is true. Now do you know why I said that as long as you want, you can be more promising than your elder brother?"

Xiao Ruoyun was still in shock: "But...but the eldest brother and the second prince are incompatible with each other now. If I take the initiative to find the second prince, wouldn't I..."

"Then you just watch me die?!"

Gu Ruanruan interrupted him sternly: "He is the only one who can save me now. If I can go out by myself, I won't embarrass you...Forget it, I am already embarrassing you by making such a request. , Second Master, just pretend that I didn’t say anything. Second Master is a sinless person, so there is no need to stay here and suffer with me.",

Xiao Ruoyun didn't know whether to go or stay for a moment.

On the one hand, he wanted to stay and protect Gu Ruanruan, but Gu Ruanruan still needed him, even if it was according to what his eldest brother said, how to find out how other families would deal with this situation?

More importantly, the secret Gu Ruanruan told him just now was so shocking that his mind was shaken for a moment...

Xiao Ruoyun walked forward in a daze, and when he was about to leave the execution room, he suddenly turned back.

Gu Ruanruan, who was hiding in the corner, heard the sound of his footsteps coming back, and a smile appeared in the darkness that was sure to win.

Sure enough, Xiao Ruoyun seemed to be very hesitant after returning, but in the end, as if he had made up his mind, he asked in a low voice: "If the situation reaches an irreversible point...how should I contact the second prince?"

Gu Ruanruan stopped pretending and told Xiao Ruoyun their contact location.

What Xiao Ruoyun didn't know was that not only she and the second prince knew about this contact point, but Gu Baiyu and Xiao Yanlin also knew about it.

She and the second prince had already changed to a new, more secret contact point. As for why she told Xiao Ruoyun the exposed contact point...

Of course it was for Xiao Yanlin to find out that his younger brother had betrayed him!

Thinking of this, a trace of malice flashed in Gu Ruanruan's eyes.

As long as Xiao Ruoyun is more ambitious, or his love for her is firmer, there are so many useful things in her mind, and there are many ways to make Xiao Ruoyun stand out, and it is even possible for Xiao Ruoyun to become an extremely popular minister, so why bother to help the second prince who has no relationship with her? ?

The two brothers had such a good relationship in the past, how could she dare to bet on Xiao Ruoyun? !

Now is the chance!

If she really wanted to separate the brothers completely, she would just have to assist Xiao Ruoyun in the future.

Gu Baiyu, do you think you have chosen the right person?

I want to lift Xiao Ruoyun to a higher position than Xiao Yanlin!

I want to show you how stupid it is to be my enemy! ! !

Regardless of Gu Ruanruan's vicious thoughts, Xiao Ruoyun was still confused until he returned to his former yard.

The secret that Gu Ruanruan just told him kept echoing in his mind.

Gu Ruanruan just told him that he knew the iron smelting formula, which was better than the current iron smelting formula of the Ministry of War, and the weapons could be twice as sharp.

What is this concept? !

If Gu Baiyu really has this ability and is willing to tell him...

Xiao Ruoyun swallowed subconsciously.

From childhood to adulthood, he has been living under the protection of Xiao Yanlin and in his shadow.

The eldest brother is a genius, he has never doubted it.

But can he only be "Zhenbei Hou's younger brother" in this life?

He is not willing!

"Second Master! Second Master, be careful! The door is about to hit!"

Xunfu's anxious voice sounded, and Xiao Ruoyun came back to his senses as if waking up from a dream.

At first glance, I really almost hit him.

Xunfu sighed: "To put it mildly, why does the second master have to be involved with my aunt? There are so many good girls with innocent family backgrounds in this world! Our Zhenbei Marquis is also one of the best families in Kyoto, and there are many girls. I want to marry the second master! Why bother worrying about my aunt and the Marquis?"

Xunfu was talking about things between men and women, but Xiao Ruoyun's thoughts drifted to other places uncontrollably.

"You said, there are many girls who want to marry me? Do they really want to marry me, or do they want to marry the reputation of the Marquis of Zhenbei?"

Xunfu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Second Master, you are right! Aren't they the same? You and the Marquis are brothers, the only relatives of each other in the world! You see, the Marquis also has an heir now, You should find a good girl and give birth to a big fat boy, so that you can be stable for the rest of your life, isn't it better than anything else?"

"Do you even think that this is all I will do in my life...?"

Xiao Ruoyun said the next few words so quietly that Xunfu barely heard them clearly. When he wanted to ask again, Xiao Ruoyun had already walked quickly to the front.

Xiao Ruoyun's heart has never been so chaotic as it is now.

Was he really content with the status quo in the past?

Why does even the boy who has served him for more than ten years feel that he is inferior to his elder brother?

He even advised him to live his whole life in peace.

It seems that in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, he is just the foil.

Oh, yes, even the title Zhenbeihou Mansion came from the eldest brother’s official position as Zhenbeihou!

......

Xiao Ruoyun returned to the original room and closed the door directly, not letting anyone in.

And since Xiao Ruoyun came out of the execution room, secret guards had already gone to report Xiao Yanlin.

"Your Majesty, the Second Master has gone back to his own yard!"

Xiao Yanlin nodded: "Well, what did the two people say in the execution room?"

The secret guard said: "Aunt Gu asked the second master to go to the second prince for help. The second master resisted at first, but later I didn't know what Aunt Gu whispered. The second master looked shocked..."

The secret guard didn't know how to describe the expression on Xiao Ruoyun's face he saw at that time: "It's just...it seemed like he heard some shocking secret, and even the things in front of him didn't matter anymore. He walked out in a daze, halfway through. Then he went back to Aunt Gu and asked for the second prince’s contact information.”

The secret guard hesitated for a moment and then said: "However, Aunt Gu gave me the contact point you know... I don't know why."

Xiao Yanlin didn't even raise his eyelids and said: "Of course it's to let me know that Ruoyun went to find the second prince, so that our brothers can separate."

The secret guard choked, "This...it's hard to say, the second master wouldn't do that, right? The subordinates saw that after the second master came out of the execution room, he was so distracted all the way that he almost hit the door. No matter how you look at it, everything is going wrong Tangled.”

Xiao Yanlin raised his eyes, glanced at the secret guard lightly, and said: "How do you know that he is really hesitant to contact the second prince because of his wandering mind, rather than for something else, such as the secret that you haven't heard?"

The secret guard opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

Naturally, they would like to see the two brothers in the Hou Mansion remain in harmony, but he has not forgotten who his real master is.

Just when the secret guard was thinking about whether to continue to persuade him and tell him about the conversation between Xiao Ruoyun and Xunfu, the old housekeeper hurriedly came to report: "Master Marquis! Madam is awake!"

Xiao Yanlin changed his indifferent attitude and sat up with a bang: "I'll go take a look!"

The secret guard thought for a while and realized that Xunfu and Xiao Ruoyun just talked about some trivial matters. It should not be an important matter to persuade Xiao Ruoyun to accept other women...

So, he followed Xiao Yanlin and left.

Later, the secret guard regretted not finishing his conversation with Xiao Yanlin.

If he had told about the conversation between Xiao Ruoyun and Xunfu at that time, perhaps with Xiao Yanlin's sensitivity, he could have guessed that Xiao Ruoyun's mind had been shaken at that time and he had had delusional thoughts that he should not have had;

If he had insisted on finishing his words at that time, perhaps the two brothers would not have ended up in a situation where they would kill each other and fight to the death...

But now, no one thought that Xiao Ruoyun, who believed that his brother was a great hero, had gradually violated his original intention without anyone knowing.

And Xiao Yanlin was immersed in the joy of becoming a father for the first time, and never noticed...
