Xu Zhilan doesn't care about power, and it's no problem for him to help Princess Ziyang ascend to the throne, but now he has offended Jingyang Kingdom and the Western Regions too deeply, and has deceived Goryeo Kingdom with the identity of a fake prince, and it seems that there is no place for him in the world.

No matter how the situation changes, Xu Zhilan doesn't want civil strife in Dahua, he doesn't want to rebel, and he wants to resolve the conflict with Xu Zhao peacefully.

took Xiao Wei's father-in-law into the Lan Mansion and walked around, remembering the scene of welcoming Xi'er here in a high-profile manner for the first time, Xu Zhilan burst into tears.

"Prince, the slave heard that a group of ...... came to the Jinling Liyuan Theater."

Xu Zhilan knew that Xiao Wei's father-in-law had good intentions and wanted him to listen to the play happily, but he had no interest in costume dramas, and he was not in the mood, so he interrupted Xiao Wei's father-in-law and said: "The king of Luoyang just thanked him, and this prince went to listen to the play?" ”

Xiao Wei's father-in-law came to his senses, exaggerated his hand and drew a big arc, but he gently slapped his mouth twice, and said in a loud voice: "The slave is confused, the slave is confused!" ”

When leaving the Lan Mansion and returning to the East Palace, Xu Zhilan walked slowly, and when he looked left and right, he saw the yamen of Honglu Temple, and suddenly remembered the matter of Goryeo, and after thinking about it, he asked Xiao Wei Gonggong to summon the envoy of Goryeo to Jinling to Yangtao Palace.

Before a set of Qianfeng swordsmanship was played in the palace, the envoy of the Goryeo Kingdom, Park Jong-in, arrived with a gift.

"Foreign Minister Park Zongren has seen Prince Yangtao!"

Looking at Park Zongren in a beautiful official uniform, Xu Zhilan's thoughts flew to the beautiful Princess Xi, and after a few breaths, he came back to his senses and told Park Zongren to calm down, and then give a seat and watch tea.

"Lord Park, the sea is windy, and the news that Princess Chongyang's big ship was hit by a hurricane and more than 300 people on board were martyred, should have been sent back, right?"

Park Zongren took out a letter that had already been worded, got up and respectfully handed it to Xu Zhilan.

Xu Zhilan checked it and found that there was no problem, and then returned the letter to Park Jong-in and asked him to submit it through Honglu Temple through formal diplomatic means.

Then, Xu Zhilan asked again: "Lord Park, has you sent a message to the king of Goryeo about the identity of this crown prince?" ”

Master Park thought that Xu Zhilan was going to talk about marrying Princess Hee, and he said happily: "When the foreign minister heard the news, he immediately ordered someone to send a message back to Goryeo quickly, and in a few days, I think His Majesty the King should be able to hear this good news." Did Prince Yangtao have a letter for his ministers to pass it on to me as King of Goryeo or Princess Hee? ”

Sure enough, he had sent a message back to Goryeo, Xu Zhilan was depressed for a while, once, Princess Xi was heartbroken several times for his life and death, he really didn't want to make Princess Xi happy for a while, and even after the dowry was prepared, he heard the bad news that he was a fake prince.

"After Princess Xi returned to China, the king missed it very much, but Princess Luoyang had just passed away, and it was inconvenient for the king to marry Princess Xi. This king has prepared some gadgets and wants to give them to Princess Xi, I don't know if it's convenient? ”

Although Park Zongxian was disappointed, he could understand it, and he promised to immediately arrange personnel to send gifts back to Goryeo on behalf of Xu Zhilan.

Xu Zhilan wrote a love letter by himself, and selected a few rare treasures for Princess Xi in the palace and handed them to Park Zongxian.

Seeing Park Zongxian leave happily, Xu Zhilan seemed to see Princess Xi happy when she received the gift, he shook his head gloomily, and returned to the East Palace with Xiao Wei's father-in-law.

Xiang'er is now playing the role of a super virtuous concubine, her daily job is to guard the kitchen to make food, which is not at ease, every time the meal is ready, she not only let the eunuch palace maid try the food, but also buy a dog to test the poison. This day is very similar to the scene when Xu Zhilan and Xi'er first met.

At dinner, Xu Zhilan, who couldn't hide it, let Xiang'er see the flaw, thinking that the paper couldn't hold the fire, and sooner or later this matter would be known by Xiang'er and Chu Yanqing, Xu Zhilan waved his hand and stepped back and took out Xi'er's letter.

For a while, Chu Yanqing and Xiang'er were chilled, and they didn't know what to do? The three of them didn't have much taste to eat, and I don't know how long it took, Xiang'er said: "Lord, the emperor has taken Concubine Xi as a hostage, and we can also take Princess Ziyang as a hostage." After the prince settles the matter of Xu Zhiyuan, he will exchange Princess Ziyang with the emperor for a concubine, and then force the emperor to not blame Lord Jian and others for the past, and let our family of five return safely. ”

Xu Zhilan shook his head and said, "Although Princess Ziyang has no power, she has a noble status, and she needs a reason to arrest her." Besides, the emperor just praised her for her great merit, and if the king arrests her now, others will feel that she is working against the emperor, which is easy to make people suspicious. ”

Closing his eyes and pondering about half a pillar of incense, Xu Zhilan stood up, summoned Xiao Wei Gonggong in, and instructed: "Wei Gonggong, prepare a car to go to Ziyang Palace, Concubine Xiang made some osmanthus cakes that are very delicious, and this king will personally send some to Ziyang sister to enjoy." ”

Xiao Wei's father-in-law immediately went to arrange the carriage.

Xiang'er thought that Xu Zhilan was going to be poisoned, so she had to prepare, but Xu Zhilan smiled and stopped it, and let Xiang'er teach him how to point out the dumb hole.

There were only three osmanthus cakes in the delicate food box basket, Xu Zhilan closed the lid with a sneer, and walked into the carriage himself.

Xiang'er looked at Xu Zhilan's distant back, and muttered to herself: "The prince is not ready to learn from Xu Zhiyuan and put Princess Ziyang in the room, right?" ”

Along the way, it was still early to see that the hour was still early, Xu Zhilan said that he still had something to discuss with Prime Minister Jian, so he deliberately went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to sit for most of the hour, and then came to the Ziyang Palace.

Princess Ziyang was so frightened that she didn't eat dinner, she lay on the bed early, and there were more than a dozen palace maids guarding outside the boudoir, even so, it was still difficult for her to fall asleep with peace of mind. kept tossing and turning, maybe she was tired, Princess Ziyang was just a little sleepy, don't hear the palace maid say that the prince came to see her with snacks, so frightened that she sat up and fell asleep.

In this era of strict hierarchy, the crown prince came to visit in person, and it was not possible to think of it!

Princess Ziyang held her aching head in both hands, and she didn't know what to do for a while. She subconsciously felt that when Xu Zhilan came to Ziyang Palace, she must not be a drunkard, but her body. Biting his lip, Ziyang Gong lowered two lines of tears, and his slender legs kicked and beat on the bed indiscriminately. kept cursing Xu Zhilan for not dying well, and at the same time expected Xu Zhao to suddenly be by her side, caring for her and protecting her.

I don't know how long it took, Princess Ziyang, who was in a hurry, thought of a way to delay temporarily, and she asked the palace maid to tell Xu Zhilan that she was bathing. I thought that I would wait for her to take a bath and spend half an hour, and then dress up for half an hour, see if Xu Zhilan has the patience to wait, and then think of a way.

The palace maid came to report that Princess Ziyang was bathing, and Xu Zhilan was furious and said: "Just now I said that Princess Ziyang is resting, and this will say that she is bathing, how do you dog slaves serve Princess Ziyang?" Come on, go and see if Princess Ziyang is bathing? ”
