Curse of Loulan: Tyrant, only spoil me

Chapter 189 Make It Convenient for Him to Show Up

"You... my lord, why are you here?" Cen Xue looked at him in surprise.

Xiao Ling'er wanted to stand up and salute him, but He Lianjue said one step ahead of her: "You don't even need to get up, let's continue. The king has been here for a long time, and it was the three of us in the first place. In order not to be discovered by Suzaku, we hid .”

"Oh..." Cen Xue nodded. Seeing him again, she felt a little unnatural, maybe a little embarrassed.

He Lianjue sat next to her, and she hasn't seen her for many days, but she is still the same as before.

"The Queen's matter, you are not tired, are you?" He Lianjue asked some irrelevant words.

"Ah? No, someone will arrange all these, how could it possibly tire me out." Cen Xue answered nervously.

"Okay, everyone, come and eat. The food here is famously delicious. If you don't eat it, it will be a waste." Shan Yuwu greeted them, looking at their embarrassed appearance.

With him around, Cen Xue always couldn't let go, she always felt that she used him back then, and was ashamed of him...

Yu Wentuo put Yu Wu's favorite dish into her bowl, and the two of them acted affectionately, but they made others envious.

"This king has always felt that the Queen's death is strange, Cen Xue, do you know something when you are beside Brother Wang?" During the meal, He Lianjue suddenly asked this question again.

Cen Xue was stunned, and then looked at him. She had promised Zhi Zhi that she would not mention it to anyone. She must not tell that matter to the queen, and it would also affect her reputation to the queen!

"No, I don't know anything. I only know that someone went to the palace to report a funeral early in the morning. You shouldn't ask me about such things, my lord?" Cen Xue would never miss a word.

"Oh, I'm just curious. Meng Shihai suddenly resigned from office and returned to his hometown. Only two or three days later, Queen Meng died so strangely. It's inevitable that people won't think whether these two things are related?" He Lianjue Putting down his chopsticks, he watched the few of them speak out their guesses.

"It doesn't matter what kind of conspiracy plan is involved. This matter has already happened, and it is an unchangeable fact. Didn't everyone hope that Meng Shihai would step down? Now that he has left, what's wrong with it? ?" Cen Xue also put down her bowl and chopsticks to participate in the discussion.

"In my opinion, everything is fine, except that Queen Meng's death is a bit wronged." Shan Yuwu also expressed her opinion.

"You're all right, but it's not our turn to comment on these issues. Talk less and eat more." As soon as Yu Wentuo said a word, everyone shut their mouths.

Xiao Ling'er didn't understand the major national affairs they were talking about, so she sat silently beside Cen Xue, occasionally helping her with food and pouring tea and wine for everyone.

Suzaku and Lan Qi'er were waiting outside, and after about an hour, Cen Xue came out holding Xiao Ling'er's hand: "Yu Wu, thank you for your hospitality today, then we will leave first."

"Well, it's getting late, you should go back quickly, don't let "he" look for you everywhere." Shan Yuwu smiled happily, she was really happy to have Yu Wentuo by her side.

After some courtesies, Cen Xue sent Xiao Ling'er home first, and then ran towards the Xuanwu Gate without stopping. The day was safe and sound, which made Cen Xue more courageous, and often thought about running out of the palace to play.

In fact, Suzaku had already noticed that something was wrong on the first floor today, the reason was just a little omission, that is, there were three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, why did they only have Shan Yuwu and Yu Wentuo when they entered?Seeing that the tea in the cup was still steaming, Suzaku could conclude that the person must still be in the room, and also guessed that the person was the Third Prince He Lianjue, so he left voluntarily so that he could show up conveniently.

One, two, three, Suzaku can no longer hide this matter from the king, I am afraid that in the future, the prince will find all kinds of excuses to meet with the empress every time the empress is out of the palace, if you come and go, sooner or later something will happen .

He Lianzhi behaved very calmly and seemed to have no influence on what Suzaku said. In front of Cen Xue at night, he didn't ask her anything, he just hoped that she could tell him by herself.

"Zhi, what's the matter with you, I always feel that you are acting weird tonight, as if you have something on your mind." After a burst of enthusiasm, Cen Xue asked while lying sideways beside him.

"Oh, I'm just a little upset about the court affairs, it's okay, but you seem to be in a good mood today, where have you been since you left the palace, and who are you with?" He Lianzhi asked her with a twinkle in his eyes. He shouted again and again, don't lie to him, don't lie to him.

However, Cen Xue answered quickly, with a smile on her cheeks: "I went shopping with Ling'er, and then I met Wang Yuwu and Yu Wentuo on the first floor, and they treated me to a lot of delicious food. eat, and then come back."

"Oh, that's all? But when did you become so familiar with them? You haven't met a few times before and after?" He Lianzhi is full of doubts about her now, he never knew the relationship between them Are you that familiar?

In his memory, they seemed to have only met once or twice. Could it be that they secretly met without telling him?

He Lianzhi felt more and more that something was wrong, it seemed that next time he really should follow her and see who she was meeting with?

"I'm very popular! People who are destined can become confidants with a single word, just like me, Yu Wu and Ling'er. Don't you like me being friends with them?" Cen Xue vaguely felt him Something's wrong, but he said no, so be it.

He Lianzhi forcefully squeezed out a smile, hugged her in his arms, and stopped asking questions...

------Dividing line-------

Early in the morning, Yu Wentai ordered someone to invite He Lianjue from the palace. In the study, his back was facing Yu Wentuo and He Lianjue. Today, he had a decision to choose between the two of them.

"Father, what happened? Now that we are all here, why don't you just tell me?" Yu Wentuo looked at his father and asked in confusion.

He Lianjue didn't know what happened, but when his servant informed him, he rushed over immediately, but General Yu Wentai stood with his back to them for half an hour without saying a word, which made him and Yu Wen Tuo is Monk Zhang Er confused?

The two people behind him were obviously impatient. Yu Wentai turned around and looked at them. One was the prince whom he taught and brought up, and the other was his own son. Which one would he choose to guard the border?

After hesitating for a long time, Yu Wentuo let them both sit down, sat down and said slowly: "A few days ago, General He, who guarded the border city of Hongshan, passed away because of his old age. The express report was sent back to the palace this morning. My superiors privately approached me to talk about the candidate for succession. Now I, Loulan, can be said to be at the critical moment of transition. Both civil and military officials are weeding out some old people, so the king hopes that this candidate can be selected by a new generation of talents. Come out, I'll pick and choose, and you two are the most suitable."

"Father, let the child go!" Yu Wentuo volunteered.

"Tuo'er, your qualifications and experience are not as good as the lord's. If the lord gives up, it will be your turn!" Yu Wentuo looked at He Lianjue. In fact, this decision is not difficult. As long as He Lianjue is willing to go, the Hongshan Border Pass The post of city guard general belonged to him. If he didn't want to go, he would let his son go.

Although Yu Wentuo lacked experience, he had made up his mind and would send one of his capable lieutenants to go with him. Hongshan City was the most important city in Loulan, so there must be no mistakes.

"As the general said, Tuo's qualifications and experience still need to be honed, so let me be the general who defends Hongshan City!" This position is very important. As a member of the royal family, he has the responsibility to protect The burden of the land.

Seeing him say this, Yuwentai showed a gratified side. He is indeed a good man he has taught for many years. The conditions in the border area are not as rich as the capital. Yuwentai is worried that he will not be able to bear the hardship, so he arranges Yuwentuo as the second choice. .

"My lord, you have to think it through!" Yu Wentai asked him again.

"The man's ambitions are all over the place, and there is no use for him to stay in the capital, so the king of Hongshan City is going to decide. General, you can give the answer to the king. This king is willing to be the general who guards the city!" After finishing speaking, He Lian decided He knelt down on one knee to vote on his determination.

"Father, where is the child?" Yu Wentuo looked at his father, then what should he do.

Yu Wentai stepped forward to help He Lianjue up, looked at the two of them and said: "Tuo'er, you continue to stay by my father's side to learn how to use soldiers. This time, the prince will go to Hongshan City. There will be opportunities in the future. If If you are appointed, you have not participated in a single battle, so I am afraid that those veterans in the court will not agree with you!"

"This......"

Yu Wentuo is also a man with ambitions everywhere, and he was really depressed when he lost this opportunity.

He Lianjue patted him on the shoulder, telling him to calm down, who made him stay in the palace all the time, so he rarely had the chance to go out to fight, but he was different, he had been with General Yuwen for more than ten times On the battlefield, a lot of credit has been made, and these are all seen by those old antiques in the court.

"Okay, this time I'll let you show off your prestige!" Yu Wentuo said helplessly.

"General, when can I leave?" He Lianjue seemed impatient to take office.

"What's the hurry, after I report to the king tomorrow, I will ask the king to nod and issue the imperial decree, you can leave at any time." Yu Wentai looked at him and said.

"Okay, then the king will be waiting for your good news." He Lianjue has already made a sure decision, and Brother Wang will definitely agree to let him guard Hongshan City.

Leaving the General's Mansion, He Lianjue has been thinking about when Cen Xue will be able to leave the palace. He was banned from entering the palace by Brother Wang, and he has not been lifted until now. Even if there is no such verbal order, It's also not suitable for him to visit her in the harem, and now he just wants to see her one last time before leaving.

Riding on horseback, he came to the gate of Xiao Boyi's mansion without knowing it. He suddenly thought of a way to let Cen Xue come out of the palace to Xiao Mansion, as long as he waited for her in Xiao Mansion.

Soon, Yu Wentai presented the matter of the candidate to He Lianzhi. He Lianzhi listened to the candidate of General Yuwen, with a smile on his lips, and asked Jue to guard Hongshan City. It's his younger brother, and he won't worry that Hongshan City will open the gates to foreigners.This is also his selfishness, as long as he leaves the capital, it is impossible for Cen Xue to have any further ties to him.
