Brother Huang, he has been planning for a long time

Qingchen raised her eyes to look at the source of the sound, and what caught her eyes was a handsome-looking man. Upon closer inspection, he was somewhat similar to He Lanyan, but his eyes were filled with evil, which showed that he was very deep.

Seeing that he would appear in the harem, wearing brocade clothes, and somewhat similar to He Lanyan, it is not difficult to guess that he is He Lanyan's younger brother, the King of Yan who sent Qi Xiao to slander him.

However, he was not born to the Queen Mother, but had the same father as He Lanyan.

Seeing him approaching her, Qingchen immediately took a few steps back and said, "I have met King Yan."

He Lanxuan was not surprised that the woman in front of him would recognize him. After all, he still looked somewhat similar to He Lanyan, but...

"Are you the princess from Dongming Kingdom who came to marry from afar?" Seeing her guarding her distance from him, He Lanxuan knew that his guess was correct.

"Exactly." When Qingchen saw him taking another step forward, she took a few steps back and turned towards him, "If you have nothing to do, Your Majesty, I would like to borrow it for you."

"Don't leave in a hurry, Ninth Princess." He called Ninth Princess, not Yue Fei.

Qingchen frowned slightly when he heard this.

This Helanxuan was at odds with Helanyan. Before Helanyan ascended the throne, he had indeed fought openly and secretly with him, but the late emperor had already felt guilty about Helanyan going to Mingyue Kingdom to be a hostage. With the support of the Queen Mother and the Shangguan family, it was natural that He Lanyan would become the final winner.

"I heard that your royal brother once offered fifteen cities in exchange for your marriage. However, my brother, the king, just doesn't want to get married. He wants you to come and marry me, princess." He Lanxuan stopped in front of her and held her from head to toe. He looked around and then showed a meaningful smile, "It was rumored in the palace that he never stayed with any empress in the harem, and they said that his body had some hidden diseases when he was used as a hostage in the Dongming Kingdom. I didn't expect it. Ah, he only loves you, Princess."

Now he even stays in the ninth princess's palace every night.

This shows how important these nine princesses are to him.

Qingchen's eyes fell lightly on his face with a somewhat inquiring expression, and he slightly raised his lips, "The prince is joking."

"However, I heard from the grapevine that the princess has a sweetheart in Dongming Kingdom. She was not willing to come and get married. She even wanted to escape when she entered the Western Capital City." He Lanxuan curled his lips and smiled inscrutably.

"What does the prince want to say?" Qing Chen's eyes were slightly colder.

He would know that he had escaped, and that was because the assassins on New Year's Eve were all sent by him.

She really had nothing to say to the prince who wanted to kill her.

"I just feel that it is a pity for the princess. There is nothing more important than the word love in this world. People in the world say that they only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals. Life is short and it is not easy to find someone you know your heart and love. The princess can grow old with the person she loves. until old."

"But I didn't expect that my brother, the king, would step in and separate the princess from her beloved. He still used such despicable methods, which is really unbecoming of a gentleman." Seeing her face darken, He Lanxuan also knew that he was not suitable to continue. Then he said, "The princess will be here all her life. I just feel sorry for the princess."

After saying this, he shook his head and turned to leave.

Qingchen held his breath and clenched his hands into fists under his sleeves.

From his words, it is not difficult to tell that he is giving himself eye medicine.

He was telling himself inside and outside his words that he wanted to help him escape from Xihe Country.

But he wasn't sure if he had feelings for He Lanyan.

After all, He Lanyan had been staying in his palace for half a month since she entered the palace.

He wanted to cooperate with him, but he was afraid that he had already fallen in love with He Lanyan and was afraid that he would turn against him.

"Princess." Xingxue took the cloak and went back, put it on her, saw He Lanxuan's leaving figure, frowned and asked, "Princess, who is that? Did he do anything to the princess?"

"That man is He Lanyan's younger brother." Qingchen sighed and walked in the direction of Haitang Hall, "Let's go, don't be late."

She had no interest in getting involved in the infighting of the royal family of Nishiga.

It is not difficult to conclude that He Lanxuan should be able to help him escape from Xihe Country, but the price of the transaction will not be too small.

It is estimated that at least he would have to poison He Lanyan himself.

After all, apart from a few trusted subordinates around He Lanyan who could get close to him, she was the only one.

If something happened to He Lanyan, she probably wouldn't be able to escape from Xihe Country.

Although she wasn't smart, there was no reason why she couldn't see through this situation.

The two of them arrived at Haitang Hall and sat on the concubines' side under the guidance of their servants.

The person next to her reminded her through Xingxue, and she learned that it was Ji Yao, Concubine Yao.

She is known as the most beautiful woman in the Western Capital City.

Today she was wearing a bright red skirt and a fiery red cloak.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, he took off his cloak and stared at Qing Chen with a warm smile.

"This must be the Ninth Princess of Dongming Kingdom." She took her seat and stared straight at Qingchen. There was a smile on her beautiful face, but it didn't reach her eyes. "Oh, sure enough, He is your majesty’s precious child. It is really difficult to meet my sister. It has been half a month since my sister entered the palace, and I have never seen her come to the queen to pay her respects."

For some reason, looking at Ji Yao's eyes and tone of voice, Qingchen inexplicably thought of Yue Qingqian.

Like Yue Qingqian, she speaks in such a yin and yang manner.

He Lanyan and Shangguan Mi sat down. After hearing Ji Yao's words, he frowned slightly.

Before Qingchen could speak, he said in a cold voice: "Concubine Yue has just entered the palace and doesn't understand the etiquette in the palace. It was Gu who told her not to go to the queen's palace to pay her respects. Does Concubine Yao have any objections?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Ji Yao herself was stunned, but everyone in the palace did not dare to speak again.

Ji Yao's hands were tightly clasped together under her sleeves. She didn't expect that she was just trying to be quick and want to secretly mock the ninth princess.

His Majesty actually spoke for the Ninth Princess without giving himself any face. Suddenly, her face turned extremely ugly and she said, "I don't dare."

Helan Yan withdrew his eyes, his eyes wandered and fell on that pink little face. She raised her eyes and glanced at him, then turned her eyes to Helan Changning who was sitting opposite her.

He calmed down and said no more.

But Ji Yao was so humiliated by He Lanyan in public that she no longer had the face to stay at the banquet. She stood up and said to He Lanyan: "Your Majesty, the Queen, I am not feeling well. Please allow me to retreat to the palace to rest."

Shangguan Mi glanced sideways at His Majesty beside her. Seeing that there was no emotion on his handsome face, she could only respond softly, "In this case, Sister Yao Fei will go back and have a good rest."

Ji Yao clenched her hands, stood up and turned towards them, and left Haitang Hall with the maid beside her.

Seeing this, Qingchen inexplicably wanted to leave the table early.

But Ji Yao has already left first. Is it wrong for her to ask to leave early?

She took a deep breath and could only continue to sit and eat the food placed in front of her.
