Chapter 691 Innocent
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the second and third kings gathered together in the mansion. The third king also brought his wives and children. The mansion was extremely lively. Advisors such as Xie Jue and Du Fang also had a separate table with the three kings' staff. , the banquet appearance was the same as that of the host, which showed that the two kings attached great importance to them.

Halfway through the banquet, bad news suddenly came from the imperial court. The king and several princes slipped and broke their legs while racing on the racecourse. The second and third kings hurriedly left the banquet and went to the imperial court. In view of Xiao Jinghong's accident, several princes had recently None of the counselors entered or left the imperial court.

If something like this happened, it would be inconvenient for the three kings and their family to stay for a long time. The eldest princess led people to send the wives and children of the three kings to the door. The counselors in the second prince's palace also looked at each other, wondering why the king, who was good at riding and shooting, broke his leg.Xie Jue knew what was going on. The Shanyu family finally played a role. Xiao Jingtian lived up to his expectations and took action. Xie Jue taught Xiao Jingtian the assassination methods. As long as he was careful and careful, he would not leave any clues.Xie Jue has a group of secret guards who are good at assassination and tracking, and they are always by his side. Xie Jue himself has also learned some assassination skills. A killing situation designed to suit the eldest prince's preferences, the eldest prince will never avoid.

This matter was done secretly. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, the second king did not even tell the [-] yuan, nor did he get angry with the advisers in the mansion. Only he and Xie Jue knew about it.

After Xie Jue explained the situation clearly, the two kings also wanted to see Xie Jue's true ability and were willing to listen to his opinion. Unexpectedly, it had an effect in just a few days. As soon as the eldest prince broke his leg, the second king's tone also changed. It is calculated that after spring begins in March, the eldest prince may not be able to go to the battlefield. Instead, the two kings can take his place and go to the battlefield with the Northern Barbarian King to gain military exploits.

The king's fate... Xie Jue is not in a hurry.

In the Northern Barbarians, military achievements were more valued than political achievements by the Northern Barbarian kings. The two kings were actually brave and good at fighting. However, the Northern Barbarian Princess and his advisers were afraid that the two kings would steal the eldest prince's limelight and military achievements. In the past two years, they have been suppressing the two kings. The king handles government affairs in Fox City, and he is known as the two kings who are smart and capable. They balance the war situation in the rear and solve the problem of food and grass, which is more conducive to the battlefield.

The two kings' political achievements were indeed good with the help of their advisers, but in terms of favor and trust, they were not as good as the eldest prince with great military achievements. Moreover, the eldest prince followed the Northern Man King all year round. In terms of family ties and trust, he ranked first.If things go on for a long time, it is no wonder that the Northern Barbarian King only has eyes for the eldest prince and not the second prince.

Now the situation is about to change.

Xie Jue originally planned to stay in Fox City for a year. By the end of the year, if everything goes well, he should be able to achieve his plan. Now that he has experienced Xiao Jinghong's death, he has extended the time. Only by walking steadily can he go far.

Although he is not afraid of life and death, there is no need to seek death. It is the best ending to return to Ningzhou alive and reunite with his family.

The eldest prince broke his right leg and had to recover from the injury for several months.

The Northern Man King was investigating the fall of the eldest prince. The two kings cooperated with the investigation and did not return to the palace for two days. The eldest princess was worried and sent people to find out the news. Lan Ningzhen came specially to tell the princess to calm down.It was customary for the second king to gather with his brothers in the palace. He did not appear in the imperial court, and his people were also in the palace. There was no suspicion of harming the eldest prince. Now it is the second king who is responsible for investigating the king's arrest. He will be busy for several days. You know They would be worried in the mansion, so they asked General Lan to send a message.

After returning to the city on New Year's Eve, this was the first time Xie Jue met Lan Ningzhen.

She was still wearing heavy makeup, but she had a sapphire forehead ornament on her forehead, which matched with the sky-blue military uniform she was wearing today. It was a touch of blue in the snow, and it was very beautiful. She liked rich colors very much.Every time Xie Jue sees her, she dresses very sharply and chooses the largest and brightest jewelry.

He couldn't help but remember that when Xie Xun broke his leg, he cursed a girl who was vulgar, who wore gold and silver, and whose jewels in her hair were more exaggerated than eggs. He thought Lan Ningzhen was the same way.

Did no one really tell her that the jewel on her head was exaggerated?

Although the Northern Barbarians are rich in gems and have a dazzling array of gems, they don’t have such a heap on their heads!
"Mr. Helian, it's so relaxing!" Lan Ningzhen's smiling face appeared at the window. When Xie Jue looked over, he felt that even the gray sky was bright.

He was reading the mansion newspaper by the window of his study room. There was a fire burning in the house and it was very stuffy, so he opened a window, and Lan Ningzhen appeared at the window without warning.

"How did you come?"

"My brother-in-law has not been home for two days. My father asked me to come and report that my sister is safe. What is Mr. Helian doing?" Lan Ningzhen put her arm on the window and poked her head in. The forehead ornament on her head drooped slightly, looking very gorgeous.

Xie Jue said, "Read a book."

The Di newspaper had been covered quietly, and in his hand was a miscellany of Beiman Mining. Lan Ningzhen raised her eyebrows, "Are you actually interested in red sand mines?" "Why can't I be interested in red sand mines?"

"The best use of red sand ore is weapons and armor. You are a weak scholar and don't like to wield swords and guns. Why are you interested?"

"I am the counselor of the Second Prince, and the red sand mine is the core lifeblood of the Second Prince's Palace. There is no harm in me knowing more about it." Xie Jue is very patient with Lan Ningzhen. This is attributed to her life-saving grace. On New Year's Eve, she saved her life. He should have some patience.

"You're bored after watching it all day. I'll take you out for a walk."

"No!" Xie Jue declined.

"Why?" Lan Ningzhen asked innocently, "Aren't you happy when you and I go out to play?"

"Is that playing? It's being trapped."

"So I'm here to make it up to you and take you out for a walk." Lan Ningzhen said enthusiastically, "Sister said you like to stay at home and read books. You see, Brother Du and the others went out drinking early."

"I don't like drinking or shopping." Xie Jue once again rejected Lan Ningzhen, "I only like reading."

"Okay, what a pity, then I'll read with you!" Lan Ningzhen came in without explanation.

Xie Jue watched in shock as Lan Ningzhen pushed open the door and walked in. Because the room was warm, she began to take off her cloak. Xie Jue was stunned, "You just entered my house so openly?"

"We are still sleeping in the same bed, what are we afraid of?" Lan Ningzhen hung the cloak aside, "You have to be responsible for my innocence."

"It's like being trapped in the town. There is no other way and no one knows. This is the palace, and you are the one coming and going. You are a girl, so be careful."

"Mr. Helian, I didn't expect you to be so sanctimonious. You can secretly cover yourself with a quilt and sleep with me until dawn when no one knows. In the palace where people come and go, you can turn your back on me and deny anyone."

"I didn't mean that."

"That's what you mean!"

"If you think so, there's nothing I can do about it." Xie Jue ignored her. It was her reputation that was ruined, not his. He didn't even notice that he became talkative in front of Lan Ningzhen.

Lan Ningzhen took off her shoes and socks, climbed into the heating pit, and looked at him with sparkling eyes, "Mr. Helian's eyebrows are so beautiful, I feel moved just by looking at him."

Xie Jue, "..."
