Xia Chenshuo seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt, his face was normal, but he couldn't hide his burning and cold eyes.

Xiao Haoxuan held Xia Chenhuan's hand, turned his head to look at Xia Chenshuo, and did not miss his subtle emotions.

The man squinted his eyes, and signaled slightly, "Since the third prince has arrived in Yanjing, he is a distinguished guest of Dayan, a guest of this king. But," he paused, twitching the corners of his mouth, "The third prince entered Yanjing privately. , it is not convenient to show up in the messenger's mansion, why not stay in Xuan Wang's mansion temporarily, and you can also spend more time with Chen Yu."

No matter how turbulent his heart was, Xia Chenshuo still nodded politely, "This will bother His Royal Highness Xuan."

"Dinner has been prepared at home, let's go back to the mansion together. The third prince has been exhausted all the way, and Prince Xuan's mansion will definitely treat him well."

After Xiao Haoxuan finished speaking, he took Xia Chenhuan out and Xia Chenshuo fell behind them a few steps away.

Xia Chenhuan looked back at Xia Chenshuo uneasily. The third brother was expressionless, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Xia Chenshuo gave the other party a comforting look, Xia Chenhuan felt relieved and stopped looking at him.He held Xiao Haoxuan's hand back, afraid that the man would notice something strange.

Xia Chenhuan did not take the carriage, but was directly taken to the stall by Xiao Haoxuan.The man wrapped him in his arms, and everyone rode towards Xuan Wang's mansion.

Passing through the bustling market place, the horse was not walking fast.They were followed by Song Zheng and Zhong Ji, followed by Xia Chenshuo and his guards.

Xia Chenshuo stared at Xiao Haoxuan's back, Xia Chenhuan's bun was looming, and they were so close.

Xia Chenshuo almost broke the rein in his hand.

Jealousy, crazy jealousy!He even wanted to beat Xiao Haoxuan to death with one palm, and hugged Xia Chenhuan into his arms regardless!

He has never hugged Chen Huan like that, never held Chen Huan's hand like that, never been looked at by Chen Huan with such admiring eyes.

Xia Chenshuo's heart was pierced like a knife, and only now did he truly understand how important Xia Chenhuan was to him.

After arriving in Dayan, Xia Chenhuan is bright and dazzling, under the cover of the old shell under her legs, with the support and care of King Xuan, it is difficult to hide her own light.

When the place next to Xia Chenhuan was taken and no longer belonged to him, Xia Chenshuo was really angry?

He thought he was a person who could afford and let go, and knew how to give up.It turned out that in the end, he was just a greedy and greedy person.

Xiao Haoxuan's broad arms blocked Xia Chenhuan from the sight behind him.Lost in his own thoughts, he pursed his lips.

Xia Chenshuo's almost paranoid words just now made Xia Chenhuan flustered.He didn't expect that the third brother would come up with such an idea in order to save his life.

It's not that he doesn't understand, it's not that he is unmoved, but it's more of worry.He knows the third brother's disposition, he is definitely not someone who disregards the common people.

Xia Chenhuan only thinks of the third brother as too much for brotherhood and friendship.He hoped that Xia Chenshuo could calm down under his persuasion and put the overall situation first.

Xiao Haoxuan stared at the thoughtful person in his arms, his face became colder, he tightened his hands around his waist, and he didn't relax until Xia Chenhuan regained consciousness.

Xia Chenhuan looked at the man with a bad face, opened his mouth, and finally explained, "I'm angry that my third brother ran to Yanjing privately without telling the emperor. It's too reckless. We have a little difference in political views. Please forgive me for losing your manners. Please also believe that third brother really wants to make friends with Dayan, and wants to form an alliance with you."

Xiao Haoxuan looked straight ahead, and said in a cold voice, "Xia Chenshuo is right behind, he has no mouth, can't he speak by himself?"

Xia Chenhuan lowered her eyes and gritted her teeth.I really panicked, and I don't even remember the reason for going too far.He admitted his mistake in a low voice, "I overstepped the rules."

Xiao Haoxuan was noncommittal, handed the reins to Xia Chenhuan, took out the ointment he carried with him from his bosom, dug out some and applied it on his red and slightly swollen wrists.

Xia Chenhuan watched the man's gentle movements, obviously there was more intimate contact, but the place where he touched was still numb.

"I'll be fine in a while, the prince doesn't need to..."

His heart beat wildly again, he blinked quickly, and wanted to evade, but he forgot that the two were close, and Xiao Haoxuan was bending over to apply medicine to him.Xia Chenhuan wiped the man's thin lips as soon as she turned her head.

The touch of their lips touching made both of them startled for a moment.

The next moment, Xia Chenhuan's face turned red in an instant, and she hurriedly hid back, completely ignoring that she was still on the horse.

Xiao Haoxuan quickly grasped his waist and pulled him back into his arms.He tugged on the reins, clamped the horse's belly with his thighs, and then walked forward steadily after two blows.

Xia Chenhuan wanted to bury her head on Sui's body, her ears turned red, and she didn't say a word on the way, and she didn't dare to look at the man.

Xiao Haoxuan thought it was funny that he looked like this, and after applying the ointment, he glanced at him from time to time, his eyes were no longer as cold and sharp as before.

When the group returned to Prince Xuan's Mansion, the butler had already made arrangements to clean the side courtyard spotlessly, and furnished it comfortably and appropriately for Xia Chenshuo and his entourage and guards to live in.

After everyone bathed and changed their clothes, Xiao Haoxuan, Xia Chenhuan and Xia Chenshuo went to the main hall to have dinner together.In the past, all the receptions and banquets in the government were held here.

A mahogany round table that can accommodate more than ten people would seem a bit too big.

Xiao Haoxuan sat in the main seat, Xia Chenhuan was on his left, and Xia Chenshuo took the guest seat on the right.

During the banquet, it can be regarded as an interlacing of toasts and chips, and the guests and hosts had a good time.

Xia Chenshuo was originally Mr. Pianpian, with a certain amount of advances and retreats, without losing his grandeur.

Xiao Haoxuan was a little colder, but his demeanor was dignified, without arrogance or making things difficult for the other party.

In the eating and drinking room, Xiao Haoxuan and Xia Chenshuo were mostly talking.From astronomy and geography, general history of ancient and modern times to the way of being an official, the situation of Yanxia and Xia.Although there was no mention of any alliances or interest transactions, it hinted that there was a lot of inquiring. You come and go, and neither side loses its momentum.

Xia Chenshuo also asked Xia Chenhuan a few words about his recent situation from time to time, and told him to take care of himself, so he really looked like a good brother.

Xia Chenhuan's heart was still on hold. Seeing that the third brother's face was unstable, he breathed a sigh of relief when he listened to his words.

After the meal, the three drank tea by the courtyard pool. After drinking two cups, Xiao Haoxuan and Xia Chenshuo said almost at the same time, "You go back first..."

Xia Chenshuo stopped talking, while Xiao Haoxuan watched Xia Chenhuan receive it, "You go back to the West Court first, I will talk to the third prince alone."

"Yes", Xia Chenhuan could only nod in response.

He looked at Xia Chenshuo, who nodded calmly at him, and Xia Chenhuan walked back to the west courtyard step by step.

When Xia Chenhuan walked away, Xiao Haoxuan waved his hand, and the maid, Li Wen, Song Zheng and the guards all exited the courtyard.

Xia Chenshuo also let the black-clothed swordsman leave. The man had a strange figure and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

By the empty pond, the two took off their disguise at the same time, not even bothering to put on a fake smile on their faces.

Xiao Haoxuan served two cups of tea in person, took a sip by himself, and said calmly, "My concubine usually speaks highly of the third prince and is full of praise. But I saw you today..." The words stopped abruptly in the middle.

Xia Chenshuo knew that he was satirizing the disputes in Jishitang, and he did not show weakness, "If you care about it, you will be chaotic. This is the case with brothers in ordinary people's families. Besides, I haven't seen Chen Yu for a long time, so I inevitably lost my sense of proportion."

Xiao Haoxuan slightly raised his eyebrows for his avoidance, and he didn't bother to make any more detours, and said in a deep voice, "Why, doesn't the third prince want to be controlled by others?"

Xia Chenshuo frowned slightly, then understood.

What Chen Huan explained to King Xuan, coupled with the judgment of the situation, King Xuan guessed that he didn't want to form an alliance with Dayan, but he didn't know that he wanted to take Chen Huan away.

Xia Chenshuo took advantage of the situation, "After all, this is Xia Guo's own business. I don't have to rely on Dayan."

Xiao Haoxuan looked at the other party, raised the corners of his mouth in a vague way, "Then what does the third prince want to rely on, the soldiers raised in Shanggu?"

Xia Chenshuo paused with the hand holding the cup, and drank the tea without changing his face, but the other hand on the couch was already tightly clenched into a fist.

His eyes were cold, and he said with a half-smile, "Your Highness is really well-informed."

Xiao Haoxuan let out a low laugh, and he hit the mark with this bluff.

Xia Chenshuo kept the matter under wraps, not to mention the Emperor Xia's Yin family, even the Wenli Pavilion didn't see the real army.

But now that he knew Xia Chenshuo's goals, it was not hard to guess what he needed and what he was preparing.

Xiao Haoxuan suppressed his smile, and stated indifferently, "Those troops alone are not enough."

There is no emotion, just telling the facts straightforwardly, that's what makes people irrefutable.

Xia Chenshuo gritted his teeth and said nothing, of course he knew it wasn't enough.

If he can't take away Chen Huan, if the two countries of Yan and Xia don't go to war, then he won't be able to suppress the Yin family while suppressing Ruan Ji.

Or if Chen Huan hadn't impersonated Princess Xuan, he wouldn't have to worry about Chen Huan's life, and could negotiate with King Xuan at ease.

Xia Chenhuan's guess was good, Xia Chenshuo actually had the idea of ​​forming an alliance and trading with Dayan.Compared with Yan Xia's war without knowing how to proceed, it is many times better.

But now... a dilemma.

Xiao Haoxuan saw Xia Chenshuo's entanglement in his eyes.

He is indeed a smart man, but he is always smart and confused for a while.

Xiao Haoxuan's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and he released his true energy, full of oppression, and said coldly, "Don't covet things that don't belong to you."

Xia Chenshuo was startled, and looked at Xiao Haoxuan with dark eyes, his face dark and ugly.

Although Xiao Haoxuan did not guess the reason correctly, he grasped the central contradiction.

He was [-]% sure that Xia Chenshuo liked Xia Chenhuan.

This person concealed it very well, but Xiao Haoxuan was still keenly aware of it.Because they are the same people, and they love the one they can't get in the same ungodly way.

Xia Chenshuo was far less painful than Xiao Haoxuan for the same unspeakable feelings.

Xia Chenshuo wanted to let go but couldn't let go, while Xiao Haoxuan strangled that feeling to death in the cradle by himself.He never expected it, never.

The absence of hope is the abyss of despair.

Naturally, Xia Chenshuo couldn't compare to Xiao Haoxuan who never showed anything in front of Gu Yao and Xiao Chuyi since he was a child, and there was still longing in his eyes.

The two men faced each other silently, neither flinching, their eyes seemed to flash back and forth, and sparks burst.

After all, it was Xiao Haoxuan who looked away first.Before Xia Chenshuo had time to be proud, the other party's words hit the nail on the neck instantly and sent him down to the [-]th floor of hell.

"What the third prince wants is the throne, so you should try your best to hold on to it. You made a choice when you asked him to marry Dayan, and it is too late to regret it now. I advise the third prince, a wise man They all know how to be willing, otherwise they will only end up in the end."

Xia Chenshuo is indeed a good candidate for cooperation, with excellent literary and military skills and mental means.

But there is one thing: I am dazzled by love and don't know how to give up.

After Xiao Haoxuan finished speaking, he got up and looked down at Xia Chenshuo who was trying his best to bear it, "The third prince should go back to the room earlier, the king and the princess are going to rest too."

He paused, and finally added, "The third prince should know better than me what the princess is like, and you don't want to disappoint him, right? The third prince should understand what is good for him and makes him happy."

After Xiao Haoxuan finished speaking, he turned his head and left.

The entire courtyard was terribly silent, and Xia Chenshuo sat on the couch with a stiff body, like dead wood and ashes, mourning and ruining the bones.
