Lu Xuan felt something in his heart: "Know what?"

Liu Tan frowned and said, "My father and the crown prince both know about us."

Lu Xuan instantly became extremely nervous: "Then...what did they say?"

Liu Tan said, "They didn't say anything. No, my father is coming to Shuofang City on his eastern tour!"

Even Lu Xuan couldn't help but be stunned: "Ah? Eastern Tour? Come to Shuofang?"

Is this the legendary going in opposite directions?

Liu Tan took a quick look and said quickly, "They've placed Shuofang at the last stop. We've got about three or four months left. Miao Rui, hurry up and call Minister Huo over."

I regret it. I was busy with my love life before and didn’t worry about the following things. I didn’t urge the construction of Shuofang City.

Although Shuofang City looks quite large from the outside, it is actually empty inside. There are too few buildings, and most of the people have not built houses. Some are even living in tents.

In addition, the Xiongnu invaded from the south right after it was built. Where would there be time to do these things?

Liu Tan lowered his head and read the letter again. When he saw the back of the letter, his expression changed. He looked up at Lu Xuan, who asked sharply, "What's wrong?"

Liu Tan whispered, "The Crown Prince said that the Emperor intends to surrender the princess."

He didn't say who he surrendered to, but needless to say, they both knew it.

Lu Xuan immediately put Gun Gun aside, hugged him and comforted him, saying, "I don't want it."

Liu Tan was a little worried: "But..."

Marriage is probably a topic that is difficult to avoid between the two of them. He didn't want to discuss it before, but now... it seems that he has no choice but to discuss it.

Lu Xuan said, "Since His Majesty hasn't issued a formal document or letter, it means the matter can still be discussed. Perhaps he's just testing my attitude. Don't worry, leave it to me."

Liu Tan felt slightly relieved after hearing this. He looked up at Lu Xuan and asked, "So...what about the future?"

Lu Xuan lowered her head and kissed him: "I don't want it in the future, having you is enough for me."

Liu Tan deliberately said, "You still need an heir."

Lu Xuan laughed: "Aren't you the same?"

Liu Tan thought about it and agreed. They both really had a claim to inherit the throne.

But he still said: "It doesn't matter to me, at worst I can just be adopted."

Lu Xuan said, "We Wusun people don't take these things too seriously. It's fine for me to adopt one."

Liu Tan thought about it and vaguely remembered that because of the small population, these Western Regions countries did not have such strict requirements on blood relationship.

Since Lu Xuan said so, he was ready to help reject the marriage. Well, it wouldn't be good to let Lu Xuan come forward, so it's good for him to come.

After all, Lu Xuan still had to discuss the issue of bondage later, so he couldn't make the relationship too awkward.

Thinking of this, Liu Tan said, "My father will definitely stay in Shuofang for a while. It's a good opportunity for you to discuss the issue of restraint. You can decide whether to go back and come back when the time comes, or stay until then."

Liu Tan naturally hoped that Lu Xuan would stay, so that they would have four months to date using public funds. Well, at least they would have a legitimate reason.

Lu Xuan saw the hope in his eyes and smiled, "I'll pack up and go back to take care of some things first, then come back. It won't take more than two weeks."

Liu Tan calculated the distance from Shuofang City to the Wusun capital, and felt a little distressed: "You haven't had much of a rest in the past six months. If you don't have anything to do now, don't rush. You can come back later."

Lu Xuan leaned over and kissed his forehead: "Don't worry, it's okay. I will come over eventually. Since His Majesty already knows, I must show my sincerity."

Let Liu Che know that he was not acting on a whim, nor was he just playing around, and that his attitude should be correct.

Liu Tan was a little confused and asked, "So, how did my father and the crown prince know about us?"

Before Lu Xuan could say anything, his expression grew increasingly ferocious. "Did those embroidered-robed envoys tell anyone? It must be them. Just wait, I'm going to beat them up first!"

Lu Xuan:!!!!!!

Although he had never seen an Embroidered Robe Envoy, Lu Xuan knew that most of them were proficient in both civil and military affairs. They might not be proficient in either, but their martial arts skills were definitely higher than Liu Tan's.

Even though Liu Tan is the King of the Northern Territory, those embroidered-robed envoys were sent by His Majesty!

Lu Xuan followed Liu Tan with some concern, and then saw Liu Tan almost go around the entire palace. He walked to a place, called out a person, took him to a relatively secluded place, and beat him up when the person was not paying attention.

At first, Lu Xuan wanted to stop them, but when he realized that the embroidered messengers basically wouldn't fight back, he just stood by and watched.

The embroidered envoys were all bewildered by the beating. They ran while asking, "Your Highness? Your Highness? What's going on?"

Liu Tan chased after them to beat them up, but when he realized he couldn't catch up, he ordered Lu Xuan, "Ah Xuan, stop them!"

Embroidered Messenger: !!!!!!

How could they be a match for that little Kunmi!

Lu Xuan smiled and threw these people one by one, two by three, in front of Liu Tan. He could see that even if Liu Tan took action, he would not be ruthless. He meant it more as a way to vent his anger than to punish them.

Then again, if Liu Tan really wanted to take the lives of these embroidered-robed envoys, why would he do it himself? He could just call for people to capture them. It would be up to him to beat or kill them. Why would he go through so much trouble?

The embroidered-robed envoy fled in a very small area, holding his head in his hands, and asked, "Your Highness, at least let us die knowingly!"

"Did you tell anyone about the king and Kunmi?"

"No, I dare not!"

For a moment, there was chaos and Lu Xuan stood by to help Liu Tan block the enemy, which made the embroidered envoys understand what it meant to be in collusion.

Just as Liu Tan was beating and interrogating him, he suddenly heard Lu Xuan say, "Ah Tan, the Prime Minister is here."

Liu Tan stopped beating the man and looked up to see Huo Guang staring at Lu Xuan with a stern expression. He asked, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Liu Tan looked puzzled. Why are you staring at Lu Xuan while asking me this question?

But he still replied: "My father and the crown prince both know that Lu Xuan and I are together. They must have told me!"

Huo Guang was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the embroidered envoys who were beaten black and blue. His honest character prevented him from lying, so he coughed lightly and said, "It's not them."

Liu Tan looked up at Huo Guang and said, "If not them, who else could it be? I warned you repeatedly not to tell anyone and told you to wait for the right time to tell them. But now you see! Father is about to come to Shuofang on his eastern tour!"

Huo Guang's mind was confused for a moment when he heard the words "Eastern Tour to Shuofang". After a while, he said, "Yes, your Highness."

Liu Tan was about to continue cursing when he paused after hearing what he had said. He looked up at Huo Guang in disbelief and asked, "What?"

Huo Guang lowered his eyes and said, "I wrote the letter to Your Majesty. If Your Highness wants to punish me, then punish me."

Liu Tan was stunned. He looked from Lu Xuan to Huo Guang, and after a while, he took a deep breath and said, "I can't believe a handsome guy like you would do such a thing!"

Huo Guang bowed slightly and said, "I accept the punishment."

Liu Tan glanced at Lu Xuan and gritted his teeth, saying, "I'll fine you three months' salary!"

Then he heard Lu Xuan chuckle, and suddenly a chill ran down his back.

The embroidered messenger on the side: So we were beaten in vain, right?
