Liang Yuhuang was already sitting at the dining table, waiting for them.

When he saw Yun Luan coming, he quickly stood up and walked forward quickly: "Yun Luan, long time no see."

Yun Luan seemed extremely calm. She held Xiao Tingyan's hand tightly, raised her eyes to look at Liang Yuhuang, and pursed her lips at him with a smile.

"Your Highness, long time no see. You have suffered a serious crime this time... I'm not telling you, you are just a Nihuang, how could you fall into her hands so easily?"

Liang Yuhuang gave a rather bitter smile. There were some things that he would naturally not tell Yun Luan.

He would never say that Xiao Yue disguised herself as Xiao Yun, which was why he was confused and confused.

Nihuang and Xianyue grasped his weakness.

When he saw Xiao Yun's face, he thought Yun Luan was coming.

Who knows, in the end, the joy is all in vain.

When I met her again, she was already married, and she and Xiao Tingyan finally got married.

In this life, there will always be only one step between him and Yun Luan.

This step was a chasm he could never cross.

He respectfully and politely invited Yunluan and the others to take a seat.

Chengfeng stood by and poured wine for them personally.

Liang Yuhuang was extremely grateful, picked up his wine glass, and first toasted to Yun Luan.

"This time, if you hadn't taken action this time, Yun Luan, I'm afraid I wouldn't have woken up so quickly, and I, the crown prince, would have been deposed long ago."

"Thank you for the great kindness. Everything is left unsaid. It's all in the wine."

After he finished speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

Yun Luan raised her eyebrows. Liang Yuhuang proposed a toast with great sincerity. Naturally, she would not refuse, so she held the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Tingyan held her wrist: "I will drink this toast for you. Your body is very weak now, so it is not appropriate to drink more."

The sentence "I'm very weak" made Yun Luan's cheeks turn red.

She glared at Xiao Tingyan coquettishly, and the wine cup in her hand was taken away by him.

Xiao Tingyan didn't give her a chance to refuse and drank the wine immediately.

Liang Yuhuang didn't say anything.

He continued to pour wine, and then toasted Xiao Tingyan another glass.

There was nothing else to talk about during this meal.

After the meal was finished, Emperor Liang Yu invited them to the courtyard and sat next to the stone table.

Cheng Feng invited people and served some refreshments.

All the idlers and others were expelled.

Suddenly, there were only four of them in the entire courtyard.

Yun Luan then asked Emperor Liang Yu seriously: "Your Highness, what should we do next?"

She believed that Emperor Liang Yu must have some new plans in mind regarding the situation of the Northern Jin Dynasty.

He is the prince of the Northern Jin Dynasty.

If there is no city, how can we hold the throne of the Northern Jin Dynasty in the future?

Therefore, she and Xiao Tingyan only planned to assist Liang Yuhuang secretly, and did not intend to take everything on themselves and charge into battle for Liang Yuhuang.

Liang Yu Huang naturally knew what Yun Luan and the others meant.

So he didn't continue to beat around the bush and stated his plans truthfully.

"Today, almost half of the power in the Northern Jin Dynasty is controlled by the Xiao family. As long as Queen Xiao does not fall, the Xiao family will be as solid as a rock and will not be destroyed in the slightest. Therefore, it is best not to understand what Gu means. Instead of fighting them, we choose to go in secret, defeat them one by one, and draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron.”

Yun Luan pursed her lips and smiled.

Liang Yuhuang's thoughts coincided with hers.

Fighting openly consumes too much cost and energy, and it is easy to alert others.

So, this is not a wise move.

"What's going on?" she asked, pretending to be confused.

Liang Yuhuang smiled softly, his eyes glaring at Yun Luan's brows.

"The draft will start in a few days. The Gu Association will arrange some people to participate in the draft to win Empress Xiao's favor. She has enjoyed being the only favorite for too long in the past few years. She is old and should be the best. She will become the most eye-catching beauty in this palace."

"Secondly, the affiliated families of the Xiao family are all very ambitious. They will definitely fight to death in this draft, and they all want to send their daughters to the palace. We might as well, through This draft has completely muddied the waters."

Yun Luan interrupted Liang Yuhuang's words and reminded him: "Your Highness, please don't forget that you are already twenty this year, and it's time for you to choose a princess."

"In my opinion, it is better for them to send their beautiful daughter into the palace to fight for favor for an old emperor than to let them target you as the prince. You are handsome and the future prince of the Northern Jin Dynasty. If their daughter can have the opportunity to become the crown princess, she will be the future queen of Nanchu. Do you think this huge temptation will make them all excited?"

Liang Yuhuang was startled and looked at Yun Luan with complex eyes.

"You mean to let Gu take the position of the Crown Princess and use it as bait, so that the people he seduces will fight against each other, and dog bites dog?"

Yun Luan nodded slowly: "The position of Crown Princess is a great temptation for them. If you look at the Xiao family, with Queen Xiao alone, the whole family has followed the chickens and dogs to heaven, and you will know what a sharp weapon this is. "

"As for the candidates arranged for the palace draft, we still have to continue to arrange... After all, if you want to shake the foundation of the Xiao family, you still have to take away Queen Xiao's favor. I have already chosen the candidate for you, and she will be there soon. As you enter the palace to participate in the draft, that person will definitely give you a surprise when the time comes."

Liang Yuhuang looked at Yun Luan talking eloquently and calmly. He couldn't help but gradually fell into a trance, and couldn't bear to look away.

Xiao Tingyan glanced at him, and his expression suddenly darkened.

He didn't care if there were any outsiders, he directly raised his arms and held Yun Luan's slender and soft waist.

His fingers were caressing her waist gently and seemingly absent-mindedly.

This caused Yun Luan's body to tremble slightly, and his bones were almost brittle.

Her cheeks were slightly red, and she turned her head and glared at Xiao Tingyan.

Xiao Tingyan approached Yun Luan and asked deliberately: "What's wrong? Is your waist sore after sitting for a long time? If it is sore, just lean on my arms and I will rub it for you."

He said, and with a strong effort of his arms, he took Yun Luan into his arms.

Yun Luan could not struggle away, so she had no choice but to lean into his arms and sigh.

This jealousy jar has been overturned again.

She felt like crying without tears.

Liang Yuhuang suddenly came to his senses and reluctantly looked away.

No matter how good Yun Luan is, she is not someone he can covet.

He should stop his thoughts.

He also didn't want to affect the relationship between Yunluan, Xiao Tingyan and his wife because of himself.

"Yunluan, your suggestion is very good. Gu is indeed not young anymore. It's time to choose the crown princess." He said, turned to look at Chengfeng and ordered: "If you spread the word, just this time, I want to choose the Crown Princess."

Chengfeng nodded in agreement and immediately asked someone to do it.

Early the next morning, the news spread almost throughout Kyoto that Emperor Liang Yu wanted to choose the crown prince.

The noble ladies in Kyoto were extremely excited.
