It was already past midnight, and Shangguan Jue had been sitting next to Qingluan. Qingluan's face was still very pale due to blood loss, and his lip color was also very light.

Shangguan Jue wanted to hold her, but he was worried that he would hurt her with his rough hands and screams, so he just stared at her quietly, looking at her weak frown, his heart throbbed, and he subconsciously

He clenched his fists, and his nails dug deeply into his palms without even realizing it.

The door was pushed open, Shangguan Jue didn't even raise his head, but he knew that it was Shangguan Miao who came in. Even though every time he saw him, there were quarrels and whips, but he would never pay attention to Shangguan Miao's footsteps and breath.

Will never forget it.

"Uncle Huang, where is Jue'er?"

"It hurts!" Qingluan's voice was soft, and she weakly pressed against Shangguan Jue. In fact, the pain on her body now was much better than when the whip was applied to her body, but when facing Shangguan Jue, she didn't want to be strong.

Big, not to mention a whip, or a ruler or anything like that.

"Uncle Emperor." Shangguan Rui called out when he saw the old prince's rare lack of concentration and didn't even notice him coming in.

"He is staying with his wife inside. She just woke up." The old prince raised his hand and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Shangguan Rui, "Your Majesty, I ask myself that I have been working hard to stabilize the borders of the Great Xia Dynasty these years. Forty

The total number of days I have returned to Shangjing over the years has only lasted three months.

, Even if you don’t have the merits of Sheji, you must have worked hard in the past forty years, but even a eunuch in the palace can torture me at will, the eldest concubine of Prince Qin’s palace, Your Majesty, and the old ministers are also named Shangguan. Is it possible?

Can’t you even enjoy the respect that royals deserve?”

Shangguan Jue was slightly panicked and said repeatedly: "What should we do? I'll ask the imperial doctor to come over. No, let's go out of the palace to find our senior brother. He must have the medicine to help you recover as soon as possible." Shangguan Jue said and wanted to hug you.

Qingluan got up, but was grabbed by Qingluan.

The old prince let out a long sigh and murmured: "I have neglected you all these years."

Because he was unwilling to give in, he was always quarrelsome with him every time he saw him. Their similar tempers made neither of them lose face and bow their heads first. This became a vicious circle. He wanted to arouse his ideas, but only ended up

He used his bad side to arouse the old prince's anger, and the originally close blood relationship was diluted by these quarrels.

After this, Shangguan Rui said calmly.

Shangguan Jue was in a very bad mood. When the old prince came up to him at this time, he vented all his depression on him. Although he saved Qingluan for him, once the relationship pattern was formed, it was difficult to change.

Came over.

Qingluan shook his head and said, "I always believed you would come back."

Shangguan Miao still looked a little dissatisfied. Princess Duan Min had done a lot of bad things. She was protected by the late emperor in the past, and now she is protected by the emperor's younger brother. This luck is not bad. In the past, Princess Duan Min did the following things.

If there was anything that could not be concealed, the late emperor would punish her by grounding her. The most severe case was to send her away from the capital. It was precisely because of this repeated "protection" that Princess Duan Min had a domineering temperament.

If it were the old prince who had the same bad temper in the past, he would have started to fight with Shangguan Jue, but this time he rarely got angry, but just stared at Shangguan Jue, only for Shangguan Jue to move awkwardly.

Open your own eyes.

The old prince's mood was very complicated. He hesitated outside for a long time before pushing the door in. 13acv.

"Aluan, how are you?" Shangguan Jue carefully lifted Qingluan up and let her lean half on the big pillow. Even though the movement was subtle enough, the slightest movement would still pull the wound, and Qingluan couldn't help it.

He groaned and subconsciously grabbed Shangguan Jue's shirt with one hand.

The old prince stood behind Shangguan Jue for a long time, his eyes always staring at Shangguan Jue's back. After a long while, he asked in a deep voice: "Where did you learn your kung fu?"

"You stay with me first." Qingluan pulled Shangguan Jue to act coquettishly. Those whips hitting her body were really painful, but even at that time she believed that Shangguan Jue would come back, that kind of almost blind trust.

It's incredible to think about it now, but when she saw Shangguan Jue, she felt at ease.

When the emperor came in, he saw the old prince sitting at the round table outside, drinking tea silently.

Shangguan Jue wanted to speak sarcastically, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't make any sound.

"Uncle Emperor, I don't know this time. Jue'er has already destroyed those slaves who made their own decisions. If Uncle Emperor is still dissatisfied, I can issue an order to kill them." Shangguan Rui said, Rong Dahai is from the palace.

The eunuch was listening to the orders of Princess Duan Min. Even if the superior officer would never depose him, how could he, the emperor, tolerate such a slave?

Upon seeing this, the old prince quietly retreated. At this moment, he couldn't get in between the two people at all.

Although medicine had been applied to the whip wounds on his body, the burning pain still made Qingluan frown.

The old prince's eyes were shining. He replaced Princess Duan Min with the person behind him. Although his attitude was a bit tougher, he was a dignified King of Qin. If he didn't fight back after being slapped in the face, I'm afraid the Prince of Qin's Palace wouldn't have to do it in the future.

Hanging out in Shangjing.

He saw Shangguan Jue sitting quietly by the bed, leaving only his back.

Only then did the old prince see Shangguan Rui, stood up and saluted.

Shangguan Jue's body suddenly stiffened at these words, his eyes stung slightly, Cen Bo's lips pressed into a tight line, and his slightly trembling fists showed the unrest in his heart.

The grandfather and grandson were three steps apart, but neither could speak.

Qingluan's cry came from behind, and Shangguan Juecai was shocked. He didn't care to say anything else to the old prince and hurried back to the bed.

The imperial brother mentioned by Shangguan Miao naturally refers to the late emperor.

He has guarded the border for more than 40 years and driven the soldiers back to his hometown many times. I am afraid that no one in the Great Xia Dynasty can compare with such achievements. What's more, he has already had the knowledge to hand over the military power. If others misunderstand him,

Deliberately suppressing Prince Qin's palace, even if he is the emperor, he will still be stabbed in the back.

The estrangement between him and the old prince was traced to the root cause because he was unwilling to be ignored by him.

The old prince said: "Did the emperor fine Duan Min a salary or ground her?"

Shangguan Miao understood everything as soon as he saw Shangguan Rui's expression. The look on his face had a hint of ridicule: "Brother Huang has always been particularly fond of Duan Min. Duan Min's temperament was also brought out by the emperor's favor.

Duan Min is the one who protects the emperor's secret guards. I'm afraid Duan Min is more important to the emperor than all of you."

Shangguan Jue reached the bedside and carefully let Qingluan lean into his arms, "Aluan, I'm sorry, I was late this time and made you suffer so much."

The emperor sighed and said: "Uncle, I know that the emperor's sister went too far this time, and I have already punished her. Fortunately, there is nothing serious about the princess of Qin. Can you please not blame her for the mother's sake?"

Sister Huang, I will definitely restrain Sister Huang from now on."

Qingluan's eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if she was about to wake up. Shangguan Jue gently called Qingluan's name twice in her ear, and Qingluan slowly opened her eyes.

Shangguan Rui's face was slightly embarrassed. He really only fined Princess Duan Min one year's salary and banned her from the princess's residence.

"If you want to kill the prince quietly in the palace and blame the crown prince of Wei, Duan Min is the only one in the whole Xia Dynasty." The old prince changed the subject and said something that shocked Shangguan Rui.

.

Shangguan Jue's chest was very broad, and Qingluan leaned in that solid embrace, listening to the steady and powerful heartbeat, and felt an unprecedented peace of mind.

The old prince took a sip of tea and said, "Your Majesty, you should know that Rong Dahai was just instructed by others to do this. He was punished, but what about the person behind it?"

Shangguan Jue then turned around, glanced at the old prince, and said sarcastically: "What's the point of asking this? Or he suddenly felt that he was neglecting my grandson, and wanted to show his guilt."

Because she knows that as long as Shangguan Jue is here, she doesn't have to pretend to be strong, he will always support her behind her.

Today was a big shock to the old prince. He seemed to have a lot of things to say to Shangguan Jue, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know where to start. The relationship between their grandfather and grandson has always been

Tensioning.

"Is there any evidence for what the emperor said? Although the emperor may have a good temper, she is my biological sister, so what's the benefit of harming the prince and her?" Shangguan Rui gave a low drink, it was really what the old prince said.

It's too unbelievable. There is no reason for the imperial sister to do this, even though she has the ability.

Shangguan Miao just said it, and of course there is no evidence in his hand, but Duan Min will retaliate, because he hated Qingluan because of Wei Yanqing's affairs, so he killed Qingluan. He also wrote down this matter, even if the emperor did not take action.

He won't be lenient when it comes to rectification.

"Your Majesty, I will take Jue'er and his wife back to the palace tomorrow morning. Even if I want to investigate the cause of the prince's death, there is no need to imprison Jue'er's wife in the palace. However, she has been whipped in just a few days. If she stays here any longer,

I'm afraid that I will lose my life." Shangguan Miao said forcefully. Since the emperor was unwilling to punish Duan Min severely, he would not force him. After all, they are siblings, but Qingluan must be brought back to the house.
