Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight

There was also Tu Shanjing's voice: "Junior Qingqiu Tu Shanjing requests to see Your Majesty."

A gleam of light flashed in King Hao Ling's eyes, and he said loudly, "Come in."

Then a palace servant led the two of them in hurriedly.

Tu Shanjing saw me as soon as he looked up and nodded at me.

Feng Long also looked at me, his eyes full of smiles.

I knew that this time they would have a way to rescue me.

After the two of them exchanged greetings, King Hao Ling looked Chi Shui Feng Long up and down, and said with a smile, "The young boy from the Chi Shui family has grown up so big now?"

Feng Long bowed respectfully and said, "Thanks to your majesty, Feng Long has grown up now."

King Hao Ling asked again: "Not bad, not bad. What are your hobbies? Is the Red Water Tribe leader okay? Has he arranged a marriage for you?"

I felt like laughing when I heard that he focused on the last sentence. As an emperor, you still rack your brains for your daughter's marriage and search for blind dates everywhere. It's a pity that your daughter has already been in a free love relationship.

Feng Long didn't understand what was going on, but he answered openly, "Feng Long is stupid. He lived with Brother Qingqiu Jing for a while and learned business management. Unfortunately, he is not good at it. He also doesn't like playing chess, calligraphy, painting, or writing poetry. What he likes most is to practice martial arts and cultivate spiritual power. My father is in good health as usual, but he is busy with government affairs and has not found a good match for me."

King Hao Ling showed a very obvious joy, and was about to ask again, but unexpectedly a voice rang out from outside the door: "I am Gui Fangduan, the patriarch of the Gui Fang clan, and I would like to see His Majesty King Hao Ling."

Tu Shanjing and I were both shocked and exchanged glances. I didn't know where he got the news that I was under house arrest here, but it was obvious that he was coming to rescue me.

As the patriarch of one of the four great families, he had just taken over, so King Hao Ling did not want to neglect him and passed it in.

Gui Fangduan strode in, and was slightly startled to see so many of us here. Then he found me, raised his eyebrows at me, and bowed his head to King Haoling.

King Hao Ling said, "Please stand up. No need to be polite. I wonder why the leader of the Guifang tribe came here this time?"

Gui Fangduan looked at me and replied, "Your Majesty, Miss Lanxiang is my good friend with a lively personality. I heard that she was kept in the palace as a guest for a long time, so I dared to come here to persuade her. I hope Your Majesty will let her go, so that she won't be unrestrained in her words and deeds and anger Your Majesty."

King Hao Ling raised one corner of his mouth, looked at me meaningfully and said, "Xuan Xuan said that you have made many friends, and it is true. You even made friends with the chief of the Guifang tribe! Unfortunately, if he wants to take you away, I am afraid I can't let you go."

I know he is suspicious again. The Tushan clan has been on good terms with the Chishui clan for generations, and now it seems they have made friends with the Guifang clan. They are also going to marry the daughter of the Xiling clan in the future. Behind Xiaoyao are the forces of Xiyan and Haoling. He is afraid that Tushan Jing has other intentions and wants to wipe out the entire Dahuang clan in one fell swoop.

Although he looked handsome, how could an emperor be sentimental? Just based on the fact that he suppressed the rebellion of the Five Kings and personally killed his five brothers, we know that he is not soft-hearted.

Gui Fangduan frowned and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Feng Long: "Your Majesty, to be honest, Feng Long came to see you today because of Miss Lanxiang."

King Hao Ling was really surprised: "What do you mean?!"

Feng Long bowed and said, "Miss Lanxiang was assigned to me by Brother Jing when we were in Chenyi City. Although she is no longer a slave, according to the law, marriage is higher than a slave contract. If she does not want to, no one can stop her. Now I am here to ask Your Majesty to take her back."

When these words were spoken, King Hao Ling, Gui Fangduan and I were all shocked again.

Gui Fangduan looked at me, his eyes full of shock as if to say, “Why have I never heard you say that before?!”

I glanced at him and smiled bitterly. Don't blame me for not telling you. I had already forgotten about this matter.

King Hao Ling said solemnly: "Are you serious about this? If I find out that you lied to save her, I wonder if you can bear the crime of deceiving the king?!"

Tu Shanjing stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely true. Back in Chenyi City, the servants and maids in Fenglong's mansion all heard about it. Your Majesty will know the truth if you ask. Fenglong's sister Chen Rong Xinyue was also present at the time and can testify to this."

King Hao Ling rolled his eyes, pointed at Tu Shan Jing and said, "Even if this is true, why doesn't your concubine follow you, but stays with Master Qingqiu?"

Feng Long scratched his head. "Alas, Your Majesty, this matter is actually... a long story. Back then, I saw that Miss Lanxiang could write plays and sing, and I thought it was very interesting, so I asked Brother Jing for her. But when she just arrived at my house and before the ceremony was held, she made my sister angry. You may have heard of my sister's temper. It gave me a headache, so I sent her back first, thinking that I would deal with it after she calmed down. Unexpectedly, there were unexpected events in the world. During this period, she and Brother Jing disappeared together. Later, I learned that she had devoted all her efforts to protecting her master. After she came back, Yan The color has faded, and my excitement has passed, so I have never thought about it. Brother Jing is used to her, and he has encountered misfortune and can't trust others, so she still serves Brother Jing. I happened to meet Brother Jing before, and I discussed with him that she is a loyal woman after all, and it will be difficult for her to get married after her appearance is old, so why not follow me back and continue to be a concubine in name only. She saved Brother Jing, so she can be considered my friend. Chen Rong Mansion is more than enough to support her for the rest of her life, and it can be considered a good home for a loyal servant. Who knew that she would regain this appearance at some point..."

He looked at me, showing an admiring expression. However, his words were also reasonable and could not be faulted, so King Hao Ling was speechless for a moment.

Gui Fangduan was also silent, standing there with his head down.

King Hao Ling sighed and looked at me: "The law is supreme, and I cannot interfere. I just want to ask you, do you want to follow that kid from the Chishui family? You, you and Tu Shanjing don't...?"

I said sternly, "Your Majesty, although Lanxiang's appearance has been restored now, she has lost all her spiritual power after what happened before. She is really discouraged and does not want to be imprisoned in this deep palace for the rest of her life. Lanxiang is willing to go with Master Fenglong and ask someone outside. Maybe we can find a way to remove the poison. Master Qingqiu and I..." After saying that, I looked at Tu Shanjing steadily and said, "Now it is just a master-servant relationship, sharing weal and woe. I am a humble servant, and I don't want to and dare not compete with Princess Haoling. Your Majesty can rest assured."

Tu Shanjing, who had been standing quietly and respectfully by my side, now stood up and looked at me deeply, with a restrained flicker in his eyes.

I lowered my head, fearing that if I looked at him again I would be unable to resist changing my statement.

Along the way, there was heavy snow and wind. The wind blew up the dust and sand, and the swords and knives shuttled quickly.

I am always behind you, and you are always in my eyes.

Even though there are thousands of mountains between us, it is impossible to have both.

I always regret that human hearts are not as good as water, which easily stirs up waves out of nothing. *
