Chapter 148
"General Huo, is the prince really saying that?"

In Taifu Lu's residence, Xiao Zhongheng looked at Huo Xun with a face full of surprise, his eyes were beating with unbelievable light, and the faces of other people in the room were also full of shock.

"Since Huo Xun said it, there must be no falsehood. Why do you doubt it?"

Because of Taifu Lu's reminder, Xiao Zhongheng turned his head with joy as if he just realized it.

"Grandfather, I just can't believe it. My grandson really didn't expect the prince to give me such a big face."

As he said that, Xiao Zhongheng knelt on the ground with a "plop", with tears in his eyes: "Zhongheng thanked grandfather for his support!"

"Ruan'er is also grateful to her grandfather for supporting her brother!"

Xiao Ruan knelt on the ground next to Xiao Zhongheng, grateful in his heart.

During the day, she discussed with Xiao Zhongheng about having a banquet in Lu's mansion, but she never thought that Huo Xun would bring news that the prince would hold a banquet for Xiao Zhongheng in the prince's mansion in the name of Xiao Zhongheng's celebration.

This time is really a great gift to Xiao Zhongheng, and let everyone know how much the crown prince regards him.

Xiao Zhongheng believed that the reason why he was able to get the appreciation of the emperor and the prince was also due to Taifu Lu.

"Get up, I really don't know why the prince will help you this time."

Taifu Lu waved his hands and asked people to help the two brothers and sisters Xiao Zhongheng up, and looked up at Huo Xun: "Do you know why the prince did this? Could it be that you told the prince about the Xiao family?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help turning their eyes to Huo Xun.

"Master, I did tell the crown prince about brother Zhong Heng, but the crown prince already knew something about it before me. He also asked the students for their opinions when he hosted a banquet for brother Zhong Heng."

"Is there such a thing?"

Taifu Lu pondered for a while, and soon showed an expression of comprehension. When he looked at Xiao Zhongheng, there was already a little more admiration in his eyes.

"I'm afraid your good luck has already come. The prince must have obtained the emperor's order to hold a banquet for you this time."

"Grandfather meant to say..."

Xiao Zhongheng never thought that such a good thing would happen to him, seeing Taifu Lu looking at him with certainty, Huo Xun and Lu Hanrui also looked envious, Xiao Zhongheng's expressions suddenly froze together.

"If it weren't for my grandfather's support, how could my grandson be in the eyes of the emperor? Please grandpa accept my grandson's respect!"

Xiao Zhongheng respectfully kowtowed to Grand Tutor Lu, but this time Grand Tutor Lu really accepted it.

For a moment, Xiao Ruan felt an indescribable joy in his heart.

For Xiao Zhongheng to be affirmed by the emperor, this is an honor that others can't ask for in several lifetimes, even Xiao Ruan has never imagined it in this life.

But now, with so many officials in the DPRK being promoted, the prince didn't get too close to anyone, but he cared for his elder brother alone, which was obviously a signal.

It shows that she and Xiao Zhongheng no longer need to be afraid of Xiao Hong's control, let alone Huai Wang Zhao Yan who is behind him.

"The situation in the DPRK and China has gradually become complicated. It is a great gift to gain the trust of the emperor. You must cherish the opportunity in front of you and try your best to be loyal to the emperor."

Xiao Ruan noticed that what Lu Taifu said was not the prince, but the emperor, he felt a little surprised on his face, Lu Taifu asked someone to guard outside the door, concentrated his attention, swept his eyes from their faces, and then opened his mouth to explain .

"I see that the emperor likes the prince very much, and also intends to pass the throne to him, but you don't have to think about everything from the prince's point of view. Everything needs to be prioritized by the emperor, and then you can be a prince."

"Master, don't worry, we should remember your teachings."

Lu Hanrui and Xiao Zhongheng frowned and were thinking about the meaning of Lu Taifu's words, Huo Xun had already nodded to express his understanding, Xiao Ruan saw his brother's thoughtful face, suddenly realized that there was still some gap between him and Huo Xun.

When parting, Xiao Ruan didn't go to see Huo Xun off, but stopped Xiao Zhongheng instead.

"Brother, now that the crown prince is here to hold a banquet, I'm afraid my father will not be happy. What are your plans in the future?"

Xiao Zhongheng was very excited today, his whole mind was still immersed in the joy of being valued by the emperor, when he heard Xiao Ruan's words, the smile on his face hadn't faded away, but a sad look appeared on his face.

Different from Xiao Ruan, she can also leave Xiao's mansion to seek refuge with her maternal ancestor's family. Xiao Hong, as the eldest son of Xiao, was instilled in Xiao's family as a prosperous Xiao family, and it is impossible and will not seriously abandon Xiao's family.

In addition, the etiquette between father and son, monarch and minister does not allow Xiao Zhongheng to show any disrespect to Xiao Hong.

Therefore, even if Xiao Zhongheng gained the trust of the emperor, Xiao Zhongheng might have to be restrained by Xiao Hong because of etiquette.

"Father is all about Duke Huai, and I am appreciated by the crown prince. I'm afraid she will definitely blame me for it."

Xiao Zhongheng sighed, and suddenly raised his eyes to comfort Xiao Ruan.

"Don't worry about me. No matter how stupid my father is, he won't do anything to me, and I don't have anything else, so I'm not afraid of being used by others."

Hearing the helplessness in Xiao Zhongheng's voice, Xiao Ruan's face became more worried.

Although Xiao Hong was not so confused as to oppose the emperor, the Gu Shi beside her was a short-sighted and cruel character. If she moved Xiao Hong by her words, there was no guarantee that she would not do something to him.

"Brother, how is your investigation of Gu's and Gu Youcai's matter? Is there any news?"

When talking about these two people, a dark color flashed in Xiao Zhongheng's eyes unconsciously.

"I have asked someone to sneak into Gu Youcai's house, but Gu seems to know that we are investigating her, so he is already unwilling to go to Gu Youcai's house."

"So, doesn't it mean that there is a relationship between the two of them?"

His eyes flickered, and Qin Jian immediately guessed that this was a sign of Gu's guilty conscience, and he felt rather excited in his heart.

As long as she can find evidence that the relationship between Gu Shi and Gu Youcai is not normal, she will no longer be able to listen to Xiao Hong in front of her!
"I thought so too, so I asked someone to lurk in Gu Youcai's house, and I believe that even if they don't meet, they will definitely find some clues."

Xiao Ruan immediately nodded when she heard the words: "What brother said is very true, so we will wait for Mrs. Gu to show his feet."

Arriving outside the mansion, Xiao Ruan sent Xiao Zhongheng to the carriage, saw the carriage getting farther and farther away and disappeared into the vast night, and then brought the maid to prepare to return to the mansion.

However, just as she turned around and was about to leave, a black shadow suddenly descended and blocked her side.

The two little maids were startled, but they were about to be stopped by Qin Jian suddenly.

"General Huo, haven't you already left?"

With the help of the light coming from not far away, Lian Qiao looked at the man and patted her chest in relief, recognizing that the black figure in front was Huo Xun.

"Miss, the two of us are waiting for you at the gate of the house."

Seeing Lianqiao's surprised look, Zhuyun quietly squeezed Lianqiao's hand and led her away.

"I thought why didn't you come to see me off, but you were actually seeing off your brother."

Huo Xun looked at the woman in front of him with a little taste, wishing that her eyes were all about himself, and he had no time to care about other people.

"Why, don't you even want to eat your brother's jealousy?"

Being blocked in front of the tall man in front of him, Xiao Ruan was still a little nervous, but when he heard the other party's sour voice that almost lost his teeth, he suddenly felt a little funny.

In the dark night, the woman opposite laughed softly, like a nightingale flying by suddenly.

With her shining eyes, Huo Xun's heart moved, and he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips.

The smooth and tender lips carried the unique fragrance of women, until the woman under him beat his chest in protest, Huo Xun reluctantly let go of her.

The surroundings were quiet, and the sound of the other party's slightly panting breathing could be heard clearly.

Xiao Ruan didn't expect that Xin would forcefully kiss her here, and nervously turned her head to glance at the two maidservants who were waiting for her not far away, and finally glared at Huo Xun angrily, and left in a hurry.

"Ruaner!"

With a low and hoarse voice, Qin Jian's hand was caught by the man and refused to let go.

"You let me go soon, you will be seen soon!"

Qin Jian felt more and more impatient in her heart. She had the experience of her previous life, and she was no longer a simple and ignorant girl, so she naturally knew what happened to Huo Xun's sudden abnormal voice.

Fearing that the other party could not control himself and wanted to leave in a hurry, Huo Xun suddenly hugged her into his arms.

"Ruan'er, don't move, I'll just hug you for a while, no one will see you."

With her chin resting on Xiao Ruan's neck, Huo Xun's eyes flashed an indelible dark color, and after an unknown period of time, she took a deep breath of the other's unique fragrance, and finally let it go.

In an instant, Xiao Ruan's face felt hot, and he shook off Huo Xun's hand, and quickly ran away like a frightened rabbit.

"Ruan'er, I really hope you don't have a brother."

Seeing her fleeing in a hurry, Huo Xun unconsciously recalled her figure staring at Xiao Zhongheng during the day.

Those eyes were full of concern, even more concerned than when Xiao Ruan usually looked at him, Huo Xun was indeed jealous.

Even thinking about it, fortunately Xiao Ruan only has this one brother, if there are one or two more, he will definitely remember it and go crazy.

In the distance, Xiao Ruan had brought the maid back to the mansion, Huo Xun watched the pink figure slowly disappear around the corner, finally retracted his gaze, and left quickly.

It was quiet in the dark and quiet night, but the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War was in chaos.

"You rebellious son, if you don't care about you for a few days, you have become so rampant! You know that your father has taken refuge in Zhao Wang, but you are so bold that you become the prince's side, are you planning to piss me off? ?”

Xiao Hong was full of anger, looking angrily at Xiao Zhongheng who came back from outside, he was so angry that he wanted to step forward and slap him hard.

"Father only thinks about others being sorry for you every day, but why has he ever thought about being sorry for others?"

For the first time, Xiao Zhongheng begged silently, but the sound of you sounded a bit cold. Hearing this, Xiao Hong became angry for a while, and his beard trembled.

What did this traitor say?How dare he question himself!Really turned upside down!
