"Because if I want to do something big at the birthday banquet, I need Xiao Rongxuan to attract attention." Xiao Jinzhi said calmly.

Liu Changhan asked tentatively: "How big of a deal is it?"

Xiao Jinzhi looked at him and said calmly, "This is a major event that can change the dynasty."

Liu Changhan's heart trembled. Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to force the palace to rebel on the Emperor's birthday...

Looking at Xiao Jinzhi with a calm face, Liu Changhan took a breath and said, "I have to say that His Royal Highness is more decisive than Wei Chen imagined."

"As a man, you should not be indecisive when it's time to move forward. This is true for you, Prime Minister Liu, and so should you."

Liu Changhan looked at Xiao Jinzhi silently, and after a while, he bowed his head deeply.

"Yes, Wei Chen understands."

After lighting a stick of incense, Liu Changhan sent Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi out of the house.

"Farewell, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Liu Changhan said goodbye with his hands in hand. His attitude was obviously much more respectful than before.

"You're welcome, Prime Minister Liu." Xiao Jinzhi said calmly, looking sideways at Chu Huanyan, "Does Yan Yan have anything else to say to Prime Minister Liu?"

"Yes." Chu Huanyan nodded.

Liu Changhan raised his eyes and said, "Miss Chu has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to remind Prime Minister Liu that we are on the cusp of the storm and there are many major issues that need to be solved. And the Prime Minister's Mansion has attracted a lot of attention recently. The affairs of the female family members in the mansion should not cause any more troubles. "

"Miss Chu, this is my home after all..."

"One move can affect the whole body. If some decisions are made too early, I'm afraid you will regret it in the future. Maintaining the status quo for the time being may be good for everyone." Chu Huanyan said with a smile, and there was a hint of meaning in her tone. .

Now, Liu Qianran's funeral is not over yet. At this time, she is not worried that Liu Changhan will break off the engagement in a hurry. But just in case, I still have to remind you. In order to prevent Zhao Ran from being forced too hard and making an impulsive decision.

Liu Changhan took a deep look at Chu Huanyan, and he understood what the other party meant.

"Thank you, Miss Chu, for reminding me. I understand."

After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao Jinzhi looked at Chu Huanyan with a smile in the carriage.

"Prime Minister Liu just said I understand, are you really relieved?"

"In normal times, such a sentence would not be enough, but it is different now." Chu Huanyan looked at Xiao Jinzhi, "Whether he is sincere or has no choice, since he has made a complete decision just now, even if it is In order to give face to your highness, the Crown Prince, he must restrain himself a little when it comes to Zhao Ran."

As long as there is time, there will be variables.

Moreover, at this juncture, it was actually not the perfect time to terminate the engagement. Rather than what Liu Cheng actually did, what actually worried her more was Zhao Ran's mood.

By temporarily stabilizing Prime Minister Liu, Zhao Ran will gradually calm down.

"Does this mean that Yan Yan has taken advantage of Gu? Should he give me some reward?" Xiao Jinzhi approached Chu Huanyan with a playful tone.

But before Chu Huanyan could say anything, the next moment, a sharp arrow penetrated the curtain and shot into the carriage.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Xiao Jinzhi pulled Chu Huanyan into his arms.

Qin Li quickly stopped the carriage, drew out his long sword and stood guard by the carriage, knocking down the cold arrows that were shot one after another.

The secret guards who were protecting Xiao Jinzhi and Chu Huanyan in the dark immediately locked their direction according to the cold arrow and attacked.

Xiao Jinzhi sat in the carriage. He didn't let go of Chu Huanyan until the faint sound of fighting disappeared and the secret guard returned to the carriage to report that the assassin had been dealt with.

"What wave is this?" Chu Huanyan asked.

"I can't remember clearly. Although I was often assassinated in the past, in the past few days, it's almost worth a year." Xiao Jinzhi said with a smile.

Chu Huanyan said thoughtfully: "There is no way to continue like this. There are still seven days before the birthday banquet. There will definitely be more and more assassinations like this. It would be great if there is something that can temporarily divert Emperor Xiao's attention. .”

Xiao Jinzhi looked at Chu Huanyan, "Yanyan means..."

"Isn't there another secret person? Since Emperor Xiao has been afraid of him for so many years, maybe we can use him to make a fuss!"

……

At night, the palace is in the palace.

After learning that the manpower sent out had failed again, Emperor Xiao became furious.

"They are all a bunch of trash. So many people were lost, but Xiao Jinzhi and Chu Huanyan were still unscathed." Emperor Xiao smashed the tea cup in his hand and looked angrily at Eunuch Zheng and the hidden guard kneeling on the ground in front of him. .

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Not only are His Highness the Crown Prince protected by secret guards, but they are all top masters. In addition, the Crown Prince's Mansion is tightly defended, so we really can't get close." The hidden guard lowered his head and spoke nervously.

At first, they followed the emperor's instructions and wanted to sneak into the prince's palace to find an opportunity to do something secretly. However, after several times, they found that the prince's palace was like an iron barrel. They could not sneak in, so they had to give up and follow the emperor's orders to assassinate. .

They were originally worried that His Highness would hide in the Prince's Mansion and not go out, but unexpectedly, His Highness came out and acted as usual, but their people were unable to defeat him and could not succeed at all.

"According to your wishes, I can only give up like this!" Emperor Xiao said with murderous intent in his tone.

He still underestimated Xiao Jinzhi, who secretly cultivated so much power.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates deserve to die, but if those secret guards are always there, my subordinates... really have no confidence that they can succeed!"

"Trash!" Emperor Xiao was furious.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Since the secret guards cannot be assassinated as long as they are there, it is better to find a way to remove them." Zheng Gonggong suggested openly.

"We also thought about inducing the tiger to leave the mountain, but they were very vigilant and did not fall for the trick at all." Yinwei said.

"Normally there is no way to transfer people, but if there are special circumstances, it may be different."

"What do you mean?" Emperor Xiao looked at Eunuch Zheng.

"Your Majesty, it will be your birthday in a few days. At that time, all civil and military officials of the court and His Highness the Crown Prince will come to the palace to celebrate your birthday. Birthday banquets in the palace are always strictly scrutinized. At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will We can no longer bring so many secret guards."

"You mean to give up the assassination in the past few days and wait until the birthday banquet before taking action? What if something happens in the past few days!" Emperor Xiao said in a displeased tone.

"Your Majesty, this servant just said it casually and had no other intention. Please let Your Majesty decide the details." Eunuch Zheng knelt down and spoke quickly.

Emperor Xiao frowned and thought, looking at Eunuch Zheng and Yin Wei who were kneeling on the ground, "That's it, get out of here. I'll think about it carefully."

"Yes, the slave will leave."

"Subordinates retire."

The two quickly retreated.

After they left, Emperor Xiao stood up irritably, rubbing his brows, and walked towards the dormitory.

The moment he stepped into the inner hall, his steps suddenly stopped...
