Luo Xuening only felt that the capital city was extremely lively recently. The Chinese Valentine's Day night had just ended, and the emperor's birthday was coming up.

And what a coincidence, originally, Luo Xuening, as a concubine's daughter, had no qualifications to participate in the banquet. However, unexpectedly, the current emperor personally named her to participate in this banquet that was celebrated by the whole country.

This is indeed a great honor. Since the last Qixi Festival banquet, Emperor Nan Shao has had some changes in his opinion of Luo Xuening.

Before, the Emperor of Nan Shao was indeed somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that Long Mo Xun favored Luo Xuening. Nan Shao is such a big country, there are all kinds of talents, but Long Mo Xun just chose to use several women.

Even if the two of them behaved properly, their intimate behavior would inevitably make people think of impure things.

Emperor Nan Shao had advised Long Mo Xun secretly and openly in private to avoid suspicion, but Long Mo Xun insisted on his own opinion, which made Emperor Nan Shao somewhat dissatisfied. What could he do to his own son? The crux of the problem naturally lay with Luo Xuening.

If Emperor Nan Shao had not witnessed Luo Xuening's capable talent and excellent judgment with his own eyes on the night of the Qixi Festival banquet, Emperor Nan Shao's attitude would not have changed so drastically.

He has now accepted that Long Moxun uses Luo Xuening as a subordinate, but only as a subordinate.

Putting aside the identity of the woman Luo Xuening, he is indeed a capable assistant.

As a concubine's daughter, Luo Xue Ning really couldn't play a big role in the family. In this case, knowing that Luo Xue Ning couldn't cause much trouble, Emperor Nan Shao turned a blind eye to the fact that Long Mo Xun attached great importance to Luo Xue Ning.

He even posted a message to invite Luo Xuening to join the feast.

Such a special honor, this is certainly not because Emperor Nan Shao thinks highly of Luo Xuening, he just wants to use this matter to get closer to Long Moxun.

After the Qixi Festival banquet, Long Moxun was questioned, and Emperor Nan Shao, knowing that his son had been wronged, would naturally find ways to compensate him in other ways.

Long Mo Xun is a proud person and refuses to accept any rewards from Emperor Nan Shao. This makes Emperor Nan Shao very worried. As the emperor, even if he really wronged Long Mo Xun, it is impossible for him to condescend to apologize to Long Mo Xun.

Therefore, he chose Luo Xuening. Considering how much Long Moxun valued Luo Xuening, he should have understood that he was trying to show his goodwill in various ways.

If Long Moxun had any sense, he should have turned the page on the Qixi Festival banquet.

This is the favor of an emperor. Among all the princes, Emperor Nan Shao favors Long Mo Xun the most. However, the favor of an emperor is always conditional.

Emperor Nan Shao's conditions for Long Mo Xun were simple yet difficult to fulfill.

He wanted Long Moxun to be obedient enough and not compete for his current position. At least, while he was in power and in his prime, he didn't want Long Moxun to interfere with his political power.

Emperor Nan Shao was a contradictory person. He hoped that his sons would all be talented, but he also hoped that they would all be virtuous.

There will not be a fight to the death over the throne.

Therefore, Emperor Nan Shao had a very clear idea about the successor to the throne. He basically excluded those princes who were active in the court. The few left now were all princes who had not yet shown their talents but were talented.

For example, Long Moxun, for example, Long Lingxun.

However, among these two sons, Emperor Nan Shao prefers Yu Long Mo Xun more because he feels more guilty towards Yu Long Mo Xun.

However, he also knew Long Moxun's abilities, so until now, he was unwilling to let Long Moxun interfere in his political power.

He could abdicate, but his throne must be given by him, not seized by his sons.

This is the selfish and pathetic aspect of an emperor. However, no matter how incomprehensible this mentality is, Emperor Nan Shao always kills his sons with this attitude.

Therefore, under the mentality of Emperor Nan Shao, Emperor Nan Shao and Long Mo Xun and his son were in a cold war. Emperor Nan Shao wanted to change this situation.

Luo Xue Ning innocently became the first to speak out. The moment she received the invitation, she fell on her back on the bed.

She spat out a mouthful of blood and almost vomited it because of the actions of the current emperor. She lay on the bed, sighing deeply.

Even Luoxia couldn't stand Luo Xue Ning's indifference to the matter. The emperor values ​​his own young lady so much, but his own young lady treats this as a big trouble. Miss, you really don't know other people's sufferings.

Do you know how many people are trying their best to get a chance to join this party?

Luoxia felt a little disappointed that her lover couldn't make it. She tilted her head and looked at her young lady. She really didn't understand what her young lady was thinking.

Luo Xuening did not expect others to understand her, she just sighed softly, saying that the man was innocent but guilty of possessing the treasure. She did not want to take this opportunity to become rich and famous, but her existence was a big deal to some people.

This birthday banquet is destined to be a restless one, Luo Xuening thought to herself, and waved her hand, sending Luo Xia away in illness.

The night was quiet and deep, but the figure of Long Moxun emerged unconsciously in Luo Xuening's mind.

Since their last separation, Long Moxun seemed to be very busy. She had no time to meet, and there was no case. This should have been a good thing. At least, she could temporarily get rid of the cruel and violent prince.

But for some reason, Luo Xuening's heart became more and more uneasy. She even secretly hoped that a case would suddenly appear and give her a reason to get out.

Is it because I have been stuck at home for too long?

Luo Xuening shook her head, forcing herself to put aside those noisy thoughts.

Perhaps her wish came true. In the middle of the night, Luo Xue Ning heard a sound outside the house. She was alert and immediately got up from the bed, put on a coat, and sat up in the dark.

Who is coming?

He climbed over rocks and walls at an extremely fast speed, and in a flash, he landed next to his bed, while Luo Xue Ning only felt a gust of breeze blowing past.

This person is very skilled in martial arts and is very dangerous.

Luo Xuening sniffed in the dark night. Her nose moved slightly and she frowned impatiently. She seemed to smell a little blood.

It was the smell of blood on the person who came. Luoxue held her breath. Suddenly, a figure approached in the darkness and enveloped Luoxue in an instant. Luoxue frowned and was about to raise her hand to fight, but suddenly, her palm was tightly grasped by someone.

The palms of the person who came were cold and a little sticky, but Luo Xue Ning was not panicked at this moment. She exhaled softly because there was a familiar breath on that person.

"Prince?"

In the darkness, Luo Xuening asked tentatively.
