Chapter 261 The two of them have nothing to do with romance

When Ling Xiao heard that Xie Zhuoning was going to move to Prince Xuan's Mansion to live for a while, he smiled with relief.

It’s great that the Prince Yong’s Mansion, which is like a Buddhist temple, will finally have a mistress!

When he thought of the sweet love between his master and Miss Xie every day, he quickly covered his eyes with a red face.

Ah, I feel shy just thinking about it!

As a result, during dinner——

"This stewed mushroom with tofu is good, fresh and tender." Xie Zhuoning's eyes lit up, and he took another bite, but he didn't forget his business, "We have to take Ah Yu over. I'm worried about her staying alone in the mansion."

Xiao Jinxuan picked up another piece for her and said, "Don't worry, I will make all the arrangements for your people."

Otherwise, if the people around her fell into Xiao Bicheng's hands, they would become a handle to threaten her.

After saying that, he turned around and ordered, "Ask the kitchen to make this stewed tofu with mushrooms again tomorrow."

"It's not messy enough," Xie Zhuoning was feeling a little sick when a cup of scented tea was handed to her. She took it and took a sip, her mouth filled with fragrance.

She put down the cup. "If you want Xiao Bicheng to have no time to deal with me, you have to make him too busy to take care of himself. If he can't do something humane, you have to let Prince Yong know about it."

Just reveal a little bit vaguely, and let King Yong track down Xiao Bicheng and get to the bottom of it.

Xiao Bicheng was busy covering up the incident, so naturally he had no time to cause trouble for her.

Xiao Jinxuan nodded, "It's not difficult. Prince Yong has planted hidden stakes in the Imperial Hospital and the Eastern Palace."

Just let out a little hint and those people will pass the news to King Yong.

Hearing that he knew all these things so clearly, Xie Zhuoning suddenly asked, "Is there any hidden stake planted by others in Prince Xuan's mansion?"

"Yeah." Xiao Jinxuan did not deny.

Not only the Crown Prince and Prince Yong, but even Emperor Zhaowen was placed in positions of power.

However, he knew all the hidden tricks, but he just didn't reveal their identities.

Anyway, after eliminating them, they will just put new ones in.

Instead, it is better to keep those things we already know under our noses.

Xie Zhuoning pinched his chin and started to have evil thoughts again, "Does that mean we can pass on some false information through these hidden stakes?"

"It's not impossible. But..."

"But what?"

"But you've been thinking so much that the food is getting cold."

Xiao Jinxuan forced her to end the topic and asked her to eat first.

Ling Xiao: “…”

The way these two get along has nothing to do with the romantic love he had imagined!

…

Prince Yong's Palace.

A group of aides were arguing fiercely.

"Many people who attended the Civil and Military Conference heard about Prince Xuan and Miss Xie's marriage. It must be true!"

"The eldest daughter of the Xie family has been rejected twice. Prince Xuan can marry any other woman, why did he choose her? Is it because of the military power in the hands of Marquis Zhenyang?"

"What do you mean? Are you saying that Prince Xuan is also planning to seize the throne?"

"Why is it impossible? If he was not involved in the case of usurping the throne and selling official positions, why would we go to such great lengths to investigate it to the end? Isn't it just to break up our prince's left and right arms?"

"Okay, stop making noise! ​​My ears are going to be deafened by you!" King Yong rubbed his eyebrows, annoyed by the noise, and waved his hand to let everyone get out.

All the staff members immediately fell silent, bowed and left.

A figure walked out from behind the screen, stood behind Prince Yong, and massaged his temples.

The man was thin, dressed in green, with a strip of cloth covering his eyes.

When she spoke, her voice was soft and gentle, "Your Highness, are you having a headache again? The royal doctor said that you should not worry too much."

Prince Yong didn't blink, enjoying his massage. "Zi Yan, tell me, why did Seventeen marry the girl from the Xie family? Does he really want to participate in the succession to the throne?"

On the surface, Emperor Zhaowen trusted Xiao Jinxuan very much and even allowed him to privately train a Feiyun Guard.

But secretly, that old immortal was extremely wary of Xiao Jinxuan.

At that time, Xiao Jinxuan had made great achievements in the military camp and his prestige was high, so he was urgently summoned back to the capital and became a leisurely prince.

Although he had a Feiyun Guard, Emperor Zhaowen set up a special Weifusi that was directly under the royal family, and made the Feiyun Guard work for the royal family.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan had no military power.

Unlike him, the Xichuan Army has always been firmly controlled by his uncle, Duke Zheng.

Although the prince no longer had the support of the Zhenbei Army, he managed to win over Yang Lie, Marquis of Changxing, and put the Nanyang Army to work for them.

The remaining governors of East County and West County are both neutral parties and do not want to get involved in the struggle for succession.

Otherwise, the prince would not be in a hurry to choose a husband for Princess Yunheng, hoping to win over Xiang Fei's brother, the Governor of Dongjun, to stand on his side.

Therefore, if Xiao Jinxuan wanted to seize the throne, the only person he could get was the Marquis of Zhenyang who controlled the Zhenbei Army.

Marrying Xie Zhuoning is undoubtedly the fastest and most direct way.

Yi Ziyan raised his sleeves to cover his lips, and suddenly laughed out loud, "Even if Prince Xuan wants to marry the eldest daughter of the Xie family, so what? As a prince of a country, how can he marry his nephew's wife who was rejected by his family? Not to mention that the Yushitai and the clan house will not agree, the Empress Dowager has always wanted Princess Qingyi to be the Princess of Xuan. Besides, when the petition for marriage is submitted, will the Crown Prince agree?"

It is not their prince's turn to object to this marriage. There will be a lot of people who will jump out to disagree.

Prince Yong suddenly realized, "According to you, there is nothing to fear about Seventeenth Brother?"

Yi Ziyan nodded, then paused for a moment, "Compared to Prince Xuan, I care more about the Crown Prince. Your Highness, don't you think that something is wrong with the people in the East Palace?"

At the civil and military conference, the crown prince suddenly left the room. Not long after, a swarm of guards from the Eastern Palace arrived, trying to take Xie Zhuoning away.

What happened to cause such a big reaction in the East Palace?

Prince Yong hesitated for a moment, then suddenly widened his eyes, "Are you saying that the prince is very likely in trouble?"

Yi Ziyan sat down next to Prince Yong and said with some uncertainty, "I'm just guessing, but judging from the reactions of the East Palace guards, I'm afraid the prince has done something serious this time."

Otherwise, when they arrested the eldest daughter of the Xie family, why didn't they tell the truth, but instead made up a reason that she seduced the prince?

"I have sent people to investigate, and I believe there will be results soon."

Prince Yong praised him and said, "Only when you, Zi Yan, are in charge can I feel at ease. It's a pity that your eyes..."

Looking at the pair of eyes covered with cloth, he couldn't help but sigh.

How nice it would be if I wasn’t blind?

Yi Ziyan raised his hand and gently touched his eye sockets, and his expression changed slightly.

After he overthrows the crown prince, he will slowly settle this account with Xie Zhuoning!

At this moment, the spies sent out came in and reported back—

"Your Highness, Your Highness! The palace doctors have sent word that the prince has been staying indoors since returning from the Civil and Military Conference, and has detained several of the most skilled doctors in the East Palace. I'm afraid he has been seriously injured. And they speculate that the prince may have been injured... there!"

When Prince Yong heard the news, he was so happy that he stood up and asked, "Are you serious?"

If the prince was injured there and could no longer have children, wouldn't that be tantamount to handing over the country to him?

Hahahaha, even God is helping him!

Yi Ziyan felt that this news was obtained too easily, as if someone had released it on purpose.

Logically speaking, if something happened to the prince, the news would be strictly blocked and no news would be allowed to leak out.

He said cautiously, "We don't know whether this is true or not. I'm afraid the Crown Prince has set a trap to lure you into it. It's better to hold off for now and let the Queen Mother test the truth first."

Prince Yong nodded, "Zi Yan is very thoughtful."

It is perfectly legitimate for the Empress Dowager to visit the Emperor's grandson. If the East Palace obstructs her, something must have happened!
