Nanzhu

You, not for you, but for Donglin, for myself.Please don't get me wrong on this point.If this love is for me, Dong Lin, Chen Xiang will accept it.If it's just for one person in this hall, then... don't worry about it. "

Qi Lan's eyes flashed brightly, and his face swept away his previous emotion.The corners of the slightly raised mouth showed a touch of confidence and publicity, and the domineering aura was no longer concealed.

"Chen Xiang is right, Qi Lan is wrong."

Suddenly raised his voice, with a bit of heroism.

"There is no wine here, I offer a cup of tea to His Majesty!"

He raised his head and drank it, and then looked at the man's frivolous posture as before, and the courage to look down on the world just now, seemed like a cloud of smoke.

Qi Lan finally understood.In this world, there is only one person who is worthy of my help; and he is also my confidant in this life.

Li Chenxiang smiled heartily, coughed a few times suddenly, turned around, and walked behind Qi Lan.

Qi Lan was stunned, and then his eyes became clear.I feel a little unhappy in my heart, but I don't want to think about why.

But seeing that person helping Nanzhu get up from the ground, that warm and jade-like voice echoed in the hall.

"It's my fault for making you kneel for a long time."

The dignified Prince Donglin actually told a servant of the Qi Mansion that he was not.If it is said, no one will believe it.However, Nan Zhu had experienced it himself, but he couldn't help but not believe it.

He shook his head in fear, took a step back respectfully, and stood silently.

Dazed in his heart, Nan Zhu hadn't recovered from the conversation between the two of them just now, and hadn't recovered from what His Highness the Third Highness had done to him just a moment ago, so he listened to that voice again.

"Ziyi didn't send you away, so can I still treat you like an outsider?"

Ziyi?

There was a hint of shock between Nan Zhu's eyebrows, but no one noticed because he lowered his head.

"Zi Yi, do you think so?"

"nature."

When Qi Lan's concise and powerful voice sounded, Nan Zhu felt his shoulders sink, and he raised his eyes in a daze, and met those usually dark and deep eyes.

"Nanzhu is never considered an outsider to me."

Maybe it was from the casual scene in the brothel that day, maybe it was from the bit by bit of actions that resembled that person, maybe it was some fragments of memory that touched my heart.

In short, when Qi Lan said this sentence, he saw those brown and pure pupils, and suddenly opened them wide.As for himself, he couldn't help smiling softly.

"Oh?"

There was playfulness in Li Chenxiang's elongated voice, his long and narrow phoenix eyes looked back and forth between the two of them, and finally landed on Nan Zhu.

"Zi Yi is like this, I'm afraid Nan Zhu feels uneasy."

Qi Lan frowned when he heard the words, and felt that Nan Zhu's body was stiff, which seemed to be the same as what Li Chenxiang said, so he couldn't help asking: "Why are you uneasy?"

"Is the favor of the dignified general just groundless? Or is it just a whim?"

Although it's nothing to do with yourself, don't miss the good show.It is imperative for Li Chenxiang to find out the secret of the origin of the two of them today.

Qi Lan is not stupid, how could he not know the purpose in Li Chenxiang's mind.He wanted to ignore it, but he glanced at Nan Zhu's appearance, his heart suddenly changed, and he changed his words temporarily when he reached his mouth.

"If I say it's a match, will your Highness believe it or not?"

Random?Qi Lan's temperament is naturally... "I don't believe it."

Sighing slightly, Qi Lan turned to face Li Chenxiang. "Your Highness is here today, not for this."

It's not that I don't want to say it, but that I can't explain it clearly.If you really want to get to the bottom of it, all Qi Lan can say is the word "fate".

For Qi Lan, seeing Nan Zhu for the first time made him feel very interesting.However, when I received letters from Yanhe intermittently, I set off for Beijing from Nanzhu, and "met unexpectedly" on the street that day, I don't know when I felt less interesting and more attention-grabbing.

Now that he was by his side, Qi Lan took it for granted.The word "fate" is not too much.If not, I really don't know how to explain it.

Li Chenxiang concealed the slight displeasure in his eyes, turned around and returned to the chair to sit down.

He never liked to give up halfway, but now he was forced to give up pursuing.Forget it, if it was Qi Lan, then today's matter would be a favor for him.

"Second brother has moved again."

Qi Lan's face turned cold, she pursed her lips, and her jaw tightened.He still hasn't forgotten the news that Qi Feng found out, who was responsible for the assassination half a month ago.Unexpectedly, in just a few days, they made a comeback again.

"Nanzhu, the tea is cold, go and refill the pot."

Hearing the cold tone, Nan Zhu looked up slightly worriedly, then hurried forward to take the porcelain pot on the table, and hurriedly avoided it.

He knew that some words should not be heard, but some words should not be listened to.

He also knew that if Qi Lan hadn't believed in himself, Qi Lan would never have talked with His Highness Third Highness in front of him.

only……

Nan Zhu sighed wistfully in his heart.

I would rather not know anything, and never hear anything.

Sure enough, the capital city was as disgusting as ever.

Pushing Nanzhu away, the hall was instantly filled with bloodthirsty aura, just like a battlefield.

Qi Lan couldn't suppress the sudden fury in his heart, his eyes were burning with raging fire.

"Zi Yi, calm down."

Li Chenxiang suppressed his smile and looked at the other party with a frown.Lifting the jade fan, he pointed to the wooden chair opposite.

"Sit down first."

When something related to that person happened, he would lose his cool.Presumably, he is absolutely obliged to rule Beiyuan in the future.

Although Li Chenxiang thought so, he knew in his heart that it was too early to say these things.The father's body is not the same day by day, and the man's movements are becoming more and more frequent.

Now the situation seems to be unfavorable to him, and that person was named the prince.In fact, everything is under control, and now we only owe Dongfeng.

Qi Lan's fists were hanging by his sides, clenched tightly.

"Is it him!"

This sentence was said with gritted teeth, the person who said it wanted to eat it alive.

Li Chenxiang was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head: "Second brother doesn't have the guts yet."

Seeing that Qi Lan stopped trembling a little because of this sentence, he sneered and said, "Collude with foreign countries with the intention of rebellion, such a crime, how dare the second brother. The first time was Hongmen Banquet, the second time was banquet poisoning, and the third time invited The killer from the Killer Building came to assassinate, and this time... he did not hesitate to make a deal with the Mobei Witch Clan."

It seems that his second brother's temperament is getting more and more anxious.

With a "bang", the wooden table made of good material by Qi Lan's side shattered.

"Mo, North!"

It's almost two words popping out from between the teeth.

"Zi Yi."

Qi Lan was awakened by this cold address, and the monstrous murderous aura just now quietly subsided instantly.

"I was impulsive."

"What's wrong with you today?" Thinking of the many abnormal reactions, Li Chenxiang couldn't bear the doubts in his heart anymore.

Qi Lan has always been able to restrain himself, why did he keep showing his innermost emotions today?Still can't control myself.

"fine."

After wiping his face, Qi Lan sat down on the chair slumped.

He did lose his temper.Maybe it's because I think about the past too much these days, and when I think about that person in the past, I will become not like myself.

Li Chenxiang didn't force him, and turned the topic back to the business, but carefully avoided touching the part about Mobei again.

"Father's health is deteriorating day by day, yet the empress and second elder brother act as if they have never seen each other, flattering him every day, and persuading him to take the medicine that prolongs life." The corners of his mouth curled up coldly: "There must be something wrong with that medicine."

Thinking of the emperor he saw at the sacrificial ceremony a few days ago, Qi Lan couldn't help frowning when he compared what he saw at the court today.Li Chenxiang's guess has been confirmed in his heart.

"He can't die yet."

Li Chenxiang was stunned, and then laughed out loud. "Zi Yi, Zi Yi, be careful that the wall has ears."

"In my general's mansion." Qi Lan showed arrogance, "Only loyalty."

"Oh?" Li Chenxiang smiled indifferently, but his tone was a little tougher: "Who are you loyal to, and who do you surrender to?"

"Me." Qi Lan answered without hesitation, but seeing that Li Chenxiang's face did not change at all, it was still calm.He couldn't help admiring him even more. He changed his tone and said, "Of course, a minister is a minister. It doesn't matter whether it's Qi Lan or Zi Yi. As a minister, you should be loyal to the king."

"Hahahahaha." Li Chenxiang laughed suddenly: "Ziyi, then this time, I have to trouble the loyal and loyal General Qi to play up and find a good doctor for the emperor."

Qi Lan's face changed suddenly, and only then did he realize that he was being slapped by the other party.Although unwilling, there is nothing to do.

Now that the situation in the court is turbulent, the second prince, who is in power, is eyeing the military power in his hands, but he doesn't know that he and the third prince are in the same faction.The scene this morning will be staged from time to time, and its meaning is self-evident.

With an army of 30 in his hand, he was supposed to guard the border, but an edict sent him back to the capital.What for?It was because he was afraid that something would go wrong when the imperial power changed.

He has only been in Beijing for a few months, except for going to the border town a month ago due to a private leave, the rest of the day is early and morning, and occasionally he is summoned by the emperor a few times, which can also make the king happy.

During this period of time, none of those high-ranking officials in the imperial court was absent.Even Yu Yue ago, the empress and the second prince also took action against him.

The emperor asked him to return to the capital, but he did not seize his military power for a long time. They must have seen that the emperor chose to believe in him.Then, the general who holds the military power in his hand has become a crucial figure in the struggle for imperial power, no matter whether he lives or dies.

Who doesn't covet Donglin's one-third of the military power, who doesn't want it!

Those who do it, can't bear it; those who flatter, also have actions, it's all a matter of course.

To this day, he and the Third Highness still owe a good deal.Before that, the old emperor could not die.It seems that this time, I have to risk my life to play.

"I understand." Qi Lan sighed: "Tomorrow morning, I will play the Emperor."

Li Chenxiang gently touched Qi Lan's shoulder with his hand holding the jade fan, then leaned close to Qi Lan's ear and whispered: "Remember, you have to act like that courageous and loyal General Qi."

Qi Lan smiled helplessly, letting that frivolous voice pass by his ears.
