Qin Yin, who was at the door, was dumbfounded. This young master was in such a bad state, it was possible that he had been eating tree bark for the past few days.
Not to mention Qin Yin being surprised, even Luo Jiuli couldn't help but lean forward:
"May I ask, how many days have you not eaten?"
Xing Xiyan took a sip of flower and fruit tea.
"I eat every day, but it is just to fill my stomach. The food is tasteless and my stomach is unwilling to abandon it."
Luo Jiuli: He is indeed the pampered Master Xing. How many people can't even take a bite, but he still eats it tastelessly and refuses to give it up.
On the side, Xiao Mingxuan saw him put down his chopsticks and said bluntly:
"How did things go?"
Xing Xiyan's slim and slender body leaned back on the chair, tilting his chin sideways, looking noble.
"Cousin, when I left Beijing, we agreed that if things were settled, you would agree to my cousin's cooperation."
Xiao Mingxuan said nothing, his eyebrows were light, his expression was calm, and he looked completely in control of the situation.
Luo Jiuli sat quietly next to him, looking at the two brothers with deep thoughts in his eyes.
There was no other reason than that she didn't know about it, but it became a bargaining chip.
It is said that the bargaining chip is a bit serious, but the conditions are more suitable.
"What big thing is it that requires the prince's cooperation to control you?"
Xing Xiyan smiled bitterly. Seeing that his cousin always looked dignified and indifferent, he felt admired but helpless.
In such a big situation, even his cousin-in-law couldn't help but speak up, how could his cousin still be so calm.
"It's really a big deal. It's about border peace talks."
Luo Jiuli was startled.
"Border peace talks?"
Immediately, he turned to look at Xiao Mingxuan with a worried face.
Although he didn't ask any questions, his worried eyes were undisguised.
"rest assured."
Xiao Mingxuan reached out and took her hand.
"The peace talks have been successful. I don't need to lead troops on an expedition. In a few days, your father and eldest brother will be able to return to the capital from Liyang Military Camp to report on their duties."
"Can my father and eldest brother return to Beijing?"
This news was too sudden, joyful, joyful, just like the father and eldest brother he said were her biological father and brother, which made her have the urge to see them immediately.
"Um."
When Xiao Mingxuan saw her happy, the corner of his mouth curled up.
Opposite me, Xing Xiyan was so angry.
"Cousin, be prepared."
Luo Jiuli was puzzled.
"What are you ready for?"
Xing Xiyan smiled mysteriously.
"If the matter is so simple, why would my cousin ask me to make a trip?"
Luo Jiuli's mood was like riding a roller coaster. He was happy and happy just now, but soon he started to feel nervous again.
"Your Majesty, what does he mean by this? Is it possible that my father and eldest brother cannot return to the capital?"
"No, what he said has nothing to do with your father and eldest brother returning to the capital."
Xiao Mingxuan glanced at Xing Xiyan and said he didn't care much.
"The border peace talks were successful, but Sang Nanguo put forward conditions."
"Conditions? What conditions?"
"Marriage, marriage between the two countries, to build the harmony between Qin and Jin."
Luo Jiuli's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at Xiao Mingxuan, then at Xing Xiyan.
"So, why did the prince ask him to leave the capital?"
Is it possible that someone in Sangnan Kingdom has taken a liking to Xiao Mingxuan.
"What are you worried about?"
Xiao Mingxuan looked at her face turning pale in a funny way.
"I'm not worried about anything. I'm curious. It's just pure curiosity."
Luo Jiuli is tough-talking.
"Worry is just worry, why bother covering it up, but--"
Xiao Mingxuan played a long tail note.
"I like it."
Luo Jiuli was not tempted by his male lust.
"Your Majesty talks about him, but he doesn't tell the truth. Is it really what I think?"
When Xiao Mingxuan was asked by her, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Previously, Xing Xiyan asked me to tell you that I was afraid that you would have random thoughts, so I sent him out of the capital to do things urgently. Now it seems that Gu Nian was right."
"Xing Xiyan, tell me."
Xing Xiyan raised the corners of his lips slightly, testing on the edge of danger.
"Cousin, I've accomplished this, should we talk about cooperation?"
When Luo Jiuli heard this, he looked at him expressionlessly.
"I have to see if it's worth my cooperation."
"Cousin sister-in-law will take care of me."
"Don't dare."
Xing Xiyan: What a cunning couple.
Although I was angry in my heart, I still went about business.
"My cousin asked me to leave the capital so that I could explore the true identity of the Princess of Sangnan Kingdom on the way."
"You mean, Princess Sangnan is already on her way to the capital?"
"yes."
Xing Xiyan nodded.
Luo Jiuli thought, since he asked, he should ask clearly the doubts in his heart.
"Then the princess of Sangnan Kingdom is marrying, and the target is the prince?"
When Xing Xiyan heard this, he looked at his cousin with gloating eyes.
"Why does my cousin think he could be my cousin?"
"Your Majesty has been stationed at the border all year round. He has defeated the Sangnan Kingdom several times. He also defeated their charm skills and killed a princess himself. Do you think it is the reputation of the Prince or the princes that is greater?"
Xing Xiyan: These words made me speechless.
Seeing that Xing Xiyan didn't speak, Luo Jiuli knew that he was almost right, and his eyes gradually turned to Xiao Mingxuan.
"So, what I said is true."
Xiao Mingxuan nodded, his eyes fell on her face, his tone was firm and his voice was gentle.
"Whether it's true or false, I will solve it. Don't think too much."
"What's more, Na Sang Nanguo doesn't really want to get married, he just wants to use the name of marriage to humiliate me."
The more Luo Jiuli listened, the more confused he became.
Opposite him, Xing Xiyan sneered when he heard this.
"My cousin is not aware that the fifth princess of Sangnan Kingdom is here for marriage this time. Not only is this girl very beautiful and enchanting, she also has natural charm skills. She is more charming than the second princess that my cousin killed before.
More mellow.”
"Charm?"
When these two words were mentioned, Luo Jiuli naturally thought of Yan Tinglian.
Xing Xiyan nodded:
"This fifth princess only claims to have learned the art of charm, but in fact she has also secretly learned the art of yin and yang, and her skills have become more advanced. The former concubine in Prince Zhao's palace is nothing compared to this fifth princess."
Luo Jiuli's surprise was extraordinary.
"Your Majesty, I remember what Hua Lanzhou said last time, what is the art of yin and yang? It is a technique that is practiced at a higher level in the art of flattery. Using the art of yin and yang, one can absorb the inner energy of the man who is close to him in the midst of the confusion.
Take it all and use it for your own use."
"Then Yan Tinglian used this kind of technique to take advantage of the dirty body of men, and was able to increase her skill greatly in a few years."
"If this is the case, then this fifth princess is not a good person."
Xiao Mingxuan took a sip of flower and fruit tea, nodded and said:
"It was precisely because I knew and was afraid that this fifth princess would upset the capital that I sent him to deliver a large gift in advance."
"Big gift? Did the fifth princess accept it? No suspicion?"
