The six eyes met, and the world became quiet again.

In the almost still picture, a maid brought tea and the eunuch welcomed them to meet His Majesty.

After the ceremony, Xuanyuan Li got straight to the point: "I intend to make your identity public to prove your innocence."

"No need." Hu Luanfei still refused and handed the hairpin to the eunuch next to him. "Your Majesty, do you recognize this hairpin?"

Xuanyuan Li took a look and asked curiously, "How come you have Concubine Shu's hairpin?"

"I found it in the Imperial Garden. I wanted to give it back to her in person this morning, but she suddenly fainted."

"Is Concubine Shu fainted?"

"Yes." Hu Luanfei couldn't help wondering: "Such a big thing happened in the Yanxi Palace, and no one came to tell His Majesty?"

The best solution is to do the same as Concubine Shu did.

He pretended not to think anything was wrong and just kept talking to himself.

However, Xuanyuan Li simply skipped over this episode and turned the topic to the transfer of animal husbandry to the third prince.

But Hu Luanfei did not give him this opportunity. She raised her head and replied in a sonorous and powerful voice, "I will take care of the ranch under the jurisdiction of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If Your Majesty trusts me, please do not hand it over to the Third Prince so quickly. When I really cannot be as close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as before, it will not be too late for you to issue an order to hand it over to the Third Prince."

Xuanyuan Li and Xuanyuan Yuchuan pretended not to understand, "What?"

There was a moment of silence.

Xuanyuan Li looked at her with some surprise, as if he had just understood something. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, as if he thought it would be better to let her manage the animal husbandry than to let the third prince manage it.

"I'm glad you have this intention. Next, I will wait for your good news."

The implication is that she has obtained the qualifications to govern Beiqiu Ranch.

Destroying the third prince's wishful thinking was only the first step. What she wanted was to stabilize Xuanyuan Yuchuan's interests.

only…

Xuanyuan Yuchuan values ​​kinship, which is the most fatal. After all, his brothers have pushed him to the edge of the cliff for the so-called interests. Hu Luanfei couldn't bear it. In her opinion, whoever becomes a king does so by stepping on the corpses of others.

The Third Prince was not wrong, Xuanyuan Yuchuan was not wrong, and the same was true for her. They all stood on their own standpoints and fought for their own interests, so everyone was right.

The news that Hu Luanfei was involved in the management of Beiqiu Ranch spread throughout the former dynasty and the harem, and even throughout the entire Beiqiu world.

This caught the officials and concubines who had been standing behind the Third Prince off guard. They risked their lives to advise him, but were all dismissed by Xuanyuan Li. This further confirmed that Hu Luanfei and Xuanyuan Yuchuan were really having an affair.

As the evening light faded, Hu Luanfei returned to Nuanchun Pavilion. The people in Yanxi Palace had been waiting for a long time.

"My Lady Princess, my Lady invites you."

Hu Luanfei refused without thinking: "Go back and tell your majesty that I am tired today. I will visit you another day."

She was from Daqian, and Nalan Jin was the biological mother of the Third Prince. There was no way they could have had any intersection, but after she intervened in Xuanyuan Yuchuan's affairs recently and snatched away the benefits that should have fallen into the hands of the Third Prince, she could no longer be immune. Every step she took in the palace was like stepping on a cliff or a ravine. If she was not careful, she would be crushed to pieces.

As they were both miserable people in the palace, she understood this, and Concubine Shu understood it even better.

After she came back from the Yangxin Palace, people from the Yanx Palace came to invite her every half hour and would not give up until she came to the palace.

If you ask too many people, you will become too lazy to deal with them.

It was still early, so Hu Luanfei washed up, changed his clothes and went there.

The road was quiet, with only an occasional breeze blowing.

There were few people and it was eerie, so the maids from the Yanxi Palace walked a little faster. Hu Luanfei couldn't keep up, so she just walked slowly by herself.

As she walked, she felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what.

Soon, she was the only one left on the lonely street.

The back was brightly lit, and there was only a small oil lamp swaying in the breeze in the front. The road leading to the Yanxi Palace was like the gate to hell.

Her instinct told her to go back.

She also believed in her instinct and did not move forward, so she backed out.

Then, the small oil lamp seemed to be blown out by someone, and a gust of wind blew away the fallen flowers and leaves that the palace servants had no time to sweep away.

A large hand suddenly grabbed her throat and pushed her against the wall.

Under the moonlight, the man raised the dagger, and a sharp cold light flashed across Hu Luanfei's pupils under the bright moon.

who is it? !

The man was wearing a nightgown, wrapped tightly, and she only saw a pair of sharp eyes full of resentment.

Who is this person and why did he kill her?

The dagger fell quickly. Hu Luanfei knew he had no way to escape, so he subconsciously closed his eyes and waited for the pain to come.

However, the pain did not come as quickly as expected.

Just when he thought he could not escape his damn fate, with a "clang" sound, the dagger of the man in black was knocked off course, and another figure flew down from the top of the wall to fight with the man in black.

Hu Luanfei recognized the agile figure as Xuanyuan Li at a glance, followed by Xuanyuan Yuchuan and the guards with swords.

I knew it. No wonder the atmosphere in the harem suddenly became quiet. It turns out someone is planning something.

But using a pregnant woman as bait is too much.

Hu Luanfei did not feel happy about surviving the disaster, but was filled with anger. The situation was tense, but it was not the time to vent his anger.

Xuanyuan Li fought with the man in black, and Xuanyuan Yuchuan joined in, two against one, and the fight was fierce. The father and son were very skilled, but Xuanyuan Yuchuan had just recovered from a serious illness, so he was a little weak during the fight.

The man in black did not want to fight. He took the opportunity to fly into the air, quickly leaped onto the roof and escaped on the glazed tiles. The guards followed closely behind him, chasing him relentlessly.

Xuanyuan Yuchuan's face turned pale. He dropped the sword in his hand and ran towards her in panic. He silently protected her in his arms, as if she were a rare treasure. "If I had known it was so horrible, I would rather be the one being strangled."

"It's okay bro."

The fact that she received so much care and concern from Xuanyuan Yuchuan, especially his concern for his sister, was completely harmful to him.

Hu Luanfei gently pushed him away and looked into his red eyes quietly, "Do you know who this person is?"

Xuanyuan Yuchuan suppressed his emotions and gradually calmed down, but his hand was still holding Hu Luanfei's and refused to let go.

"We already have some clues. That person's figure and martial arts skills are very similar to General Zhenbei's."

"I said he looked familiar, especially his eyes. I guessed right. That guy won't let it go."

"This matter is up to the emperor to decide. I will wait and see."

"Ah."

Xuanyuan Yuchuan thought to himself that from this moment on, he would try to have as little interaction with her as possible until he had enough ability to protect her.

Since he had made up his mind, Xuanyuan Yuchuan did not go to Nuanchun Pavilion for three to five days, nor did he let Hu Luan fly to the Eastern Palace.

Concubine Shu also did not come to complain for several days, saying that her old father had caught a cold after being caught in the wind a few days ago, and she had to go back to visit him.

Hu Luanfei and his companions knew clearly that General Zhenbei was stabbed that night, but he managed to escape with his superb martial arts skills.
