"Sister, sister." Before seeing anyone, Xiaoying's voice was heard from afar.

While recovering from illness, Xuanji began to practice calligraphy.In the beginning, it was necessary to use a paperweight to flatten the paper, and to write stroke by stroke with a brush dipped in rice soup.After the rice soup pulped the paper into a cardboard, Xuanji could already do whatever she wanted.

At this moment, Xuanji was practicing calligraphy, and just as she put down her pen, she saw Xiaoying rushing into the room like a whirlwind: "What's the matter?"

"Sister, I'm back."

Xuanji nodded, quite helplessly: "I saw it."

Xiaoying bowed to Xuanji hastily, and before Xuanji could say anything, she got up by herself again, and walked to Xuanji's feet: "There is a quack doctor in Su's residence, who said he came from Nanchu, and he looks like a human being." Yes, but the temper is really not good at all."

Although she knew Xiaoying couldn't hold back her words if she didn't ask, Xuanji still asked cooperatively: "What's wrong?"

"He would bully Fei Liu, and even said that he would wrap Fei Liu in castor leaves, brush oil, put it in a wooden barrel, and roll it down the hillside. Sister, tell me, is he going too far?"

You can almost imagine the stunned expressions of the three little ones when they heard this sentence, Xuanji smiled and nodded: "You must have argued with him."

"Of course," Xiaoying immediately showed a smug expression, "I gave him a harsh speech, which left him speechless."

"So you won?"

Xiaoying frowned and thought for a while: "Actually, not necessarily."

"How to say?"

"He was speechless for a long time, and he said two words to me."

"Which two words?"

"...Sparrow," Xiaoying wrote all over her face in frustration at the fact that the victory was not straightforward enough, "He left after saying these two words, Feiliu and Tingsheng were very happy, but I just felt that I didn't win. "

Xuanji chuckled twice, and asked, "Do you know who that quack doctor is?"

"I don't know," Xiaoying shook the rattle with her head, then added after thinking about it, "But I heard Uncle Li call him Mr. Lin."

At the beginning when the crown prince was abolished and King Yu was fighting for power, Langya Pavilion came up with a kit of "Langya leader, Jiangzuo Meilang. Qilin's talent, if you get it, you can win the world", which allowed Mei Changsu to enter the capital under the pretext of being burdened by fame. .Xuanji doesn't believe that Langya Pavilion has nothing to do with Mei Changsu.

Sure enough, Lin Chen, the most well-informed young master of Langya Pavilion in the world, trekked from Southern Chu to Jinling because of Mei Changsu's pigeon.

At this time, Xiaoxin, who was ordered to express his love to Xiao Jingyan, returned.

Xiaoxin is about the same age as Xiaoying, but in terms of following the etiquette, Xiaoxin is not a little bit better than Xiaoying.Xiaoxin walked up to Xuanji and knelt down, raised her arms, raised them in front of her, bent over, lowered her head and put her forehead on her fingertips, which was the standard palace etiquette she learned when she was with Concubine Jing: "Sister, Your Highness, please past."

When Xuanji heard the words, she subconsciously got up: "What did your Highness say?"

"I never said it," Xiaoxin shook his head, and came to help Xuanji, "I followed my sister's wishes and said what my sister said to petition His Highness, and His Highness asked me to invite you."

Xiaoying also supported Xuanji: "Then sister going?"

Xuanji glanced at Xiaoying, nodded, "Of course I'm going."

The study room in Prince Jing’s Mansion is different from that of King Yu and Mei Changsu. Although there are volumes and books, there are strong bows hanging on the wall and the decoration is also in an extremely tough style. Xiao Jingyan’s warrior character can be seen at a glance.

Because Xiao Jingyan was sitting behind the cases, Xuanji performed the salute and bowed her knees: "See Your Highness Prince Jing."

"You don't need to be formal," Xiao Jingyan was looking down at the map of Jinling City on the table, and he pointed to the futon beside him, with a very casual gesture, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xuanji thanked her, and knelt down on the futon.

Without waiting for Xuanji to ask, Xiao Jingyan spoke directly: "You taught her when Xiaoxin came to ask me to suspend the retrial of the old case just now?"

Xuanji thought for a while: "Mr. Su must have said this to His Highness. His Highness entered the palace today, and the Concubine Jing is ice-snow and intelligent, so she must have mentioned it to His Highness. Prajna is just picking up the wisdom of others, echoing what others say, and doing everything in the heart of a servant. "

Xiao Jingyan raised his head and glanced at Xuanji, seeing that her expression and posture were very submissive, then he turned his eyes back to the city defense map in front of him: "The Qingli army's rebellion this time shows that there is something wrong with our military and city defense system. I intend to rectify it and am working on it." Think about where to start."

Xuanji didn't look at the picture, but said: "Your Highness, the Prime Minister's affairs, don't need to be personally involved in every detail. You just need to know people and do things well, and ask the Ministry of War to come up with a few methods, and finally come up with an idea."

Xiao Jingyan paused when he looked at the city defense map: "The Ministry of War is planning to collapse. Except for Your Majesty, only the East Palace Supervisor has such power."

"Your Highness is only one step away from that seat, you must get used to acting like this as soon as possible."

As for that seat, I don't know whether Xuanji used this vague name to refer to the position of the Eastern Palace of the Supervisor, or the supreme position of the Commander.Xiao Jingyan unconsciously tightened his fingers pressing on the sheepskin: "Miss Qin, speak carefully."

"The closer you get, the more you can't hold your breath, but the closer you get, the more you need to hold your breath. It doesn't matter whether Prajna can speak carefully. Here are just two people, His Highness and Prajna. The master and servant are heart-to-heart. The officer looks at it, His Highness still needs to be cautious."

Xuanji's words were vague, but Xiao Jingyan understood: "I just want the truth to be revealed to the world."

"What is the truth? Didn't anyone raise any objection to the truth back then? Either they were expelled from other places, or their heads fell to the ground. Isn't there enough blood shed for King Qi 13 years ago?"

"Could it be that you just keep silent and let the matter disappear from now on?"

"Your Highness, just be patient for a while longer and wait for the right time. The [-] loyal souls of the Red Flame Army, the virtuous name of Prince Qi's next life, will eventually be rehabilitated."

"The right time, when do I have to wait until the right time?" Xiao Jingyan, who pretended to be calm, finally couldn't hold back his anxiety, threw the cowhide city defense map far away in front of him, and asked in a deep voice.

This is really a difficult question to answer. For a pure counselor, there is no right time to reverse the case for King Qi and the Red Flame Army.When Emperor Liang was in power, King Jing's power came from Emperor Liang, and any time the case was reversed, it might anger Emperor Liang and make the current good situation go forever.When Emperor Liang is no longer in power, the son overturns his father's case, and Xiao Jingyan has a deep friendship with King Qi and the Chiyan Army. Even if the case is overturned, it will not be credible enough.

But Xiao Jingyan's determination to overturn the case is unquestionable.

Xuanji remembered that night when she suddenly learned the truth about Chi Yan's old case, Xiao Jingyan said to Mei Changsu——My final goal is to bring this case to light, and for the rest, I can wait for the time being.

How stupid, but how courageous.

"Please rest, Your Highness," Xuanji cupped her hands to salute, "Your Highness is not in the East Palace at this moment, and the foundation is not stable. If you propose to reverse the case rashly, I am afraid that your Majesty will think that you are relying on your merits. When Your Highness enters the East Palace, exercise the power of supervising the country, and stand firm Only by following the steps and looking for an opportunity can we bring up the old case again."

"What kind of opportunity, Xia Jiang presided over the case of King Qi back then, and now he has been convicted of treason, isn't it the best opportunity?"

"Although Xia Jiang was the one who presided over the trial, His Majesty was the one who finally convicted him. His Highness first made a new contribution, so he relied on his merits to force His Majesty to overturn the case. If the old case is overturned, future history books will definitely record that His Majesty killed the eldest son of the emperor unjustly and forced him to die. How could he agree to the big mistake of the [-] Red Flame Army? Please wait patiently until your highness is full-fledged and fearless of the imperial power."

"Brother Qi was so famous back then. Once he was wronged, half of the courtiers guaranteed him. Even today, there are many people who admire and miss him in the world. He was given a glass of poisoned wine by his father. When will I wait?" When you get the full-fledged wings that are not afraid of the emperor?"

"Your Highness is right. His Highness King Qi is indeed wise and magnanimous, and has a good reputation. But fame is always empty. The full-fledged wings mentioned by Prajna refer to the real power in your hands."

"Real power?"

"Exactly. When His Highness enters the East Palace, exercises the power of supervising the country, and firmly holds the real power in his hands, he will have the ability to fight against His Majesty. At that time, we will find an opportunity to create a trend of excitement, and then bring up the old case of King Qi. , forcing His Majesty to agree to the review in public, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort."

Xiao Jingyan heaved a long sigh, his eyes fell on the strong bow on the wall with a sense of loss.

Xuanji took the opportunity to comfort her and said: "Being dormant and waiting for 13 years, you must not fail at the last moment. Your Highness must understand what Prajna said, but the momentary concern will lead to confusion, and then the eagerness to trade is born."

Indeed, Xiao Jingyan knew what Xuanji said.But caring is chaotic, and the perseverance and bravery beyond ordinary people that have been cultivated in the battlefield all year round are useless.These things that I know and know in my heart, I need someone to tell him again.

He didn't go to the East China Sea back then, but everything changed when he came back.When King Qi and Lin Shu needed him the most, he was not by their side, and the annoyance grew day by day.

Knowing the truth of the Chiyan tragedy, he has not yet become a supreme loner, but he has already begun to experience the loneliness that no one can tell.

In Xiao Jingyan's heart, although Mei Changsu was his trusted adviser, his attempt to overturn the case was only at his orders.Only Xuanji, who is also burdened with heavy responsibilities and is dormant to wait for revenge, can understand this impatience that is urgent to redress her grievances but has to suppress her urgency, right?

Xiao Jingyan was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly: "After talking for a long time, I actually added tea for Miss Qin, so I'll send someone to bring me a pot of Maojian."

Xuanji saw that Xiao Jingyan's face softened slightly, and the tense strings all over his body relaxed, but his face became paler: "Your Highness..."

"Or don't want Maojian and want something else?"

"No, Your Highness, I feel as if..." Not very well. ?
