Chapter 411 The Qilin Runs Away
"If mother wants to go back to Pingzhou, tell father that the boy, elder brother and third younger brother will accompany you back to visit grandfather." Xiao He said.

Mrs. Xiao shook her head and said, "The affairs of the court are busy. It will take several months to go back and forth to Pingzhou. I will not go back for the time being."

"Mother, it's the fault of the child." Xiao He knelt down on one knee, feeling a sense of guilt in his heart, and said, "The child only knows how to lead soldiers and fight wars, but he has never been with the mother well, making the mother feel lonely. In the future, the child will Spend more time with your mother."

"Stupid child, you are a man, just like your grandfather said, how can you stay with your mother all day long, and go do what you like with peace of mind. Your mother will be very satisfied just watching you by the side. " Madam Xiao held her son's hand, asked him to stand up and sat opposite to her, among the three children, the second son Xiao He was the one who loved her the most, she always felt that Xiao He was the most like a member of their Lu family.

"Mother, the elder brother will soon be married, and the sister-in-law who will come in will give birth to a child, and the mother will have grandchildren around her knees." Xiao He comforted Mrs. Xiao and said.

"What about you, you should get married too, you still think about the Eleventh Princess in your heart." Mrs. Xiao said, "You went to the palace to teach the Thirteenth Princess how to practice swords, in fact, to meet the Eleventh Princess, right?"

Xiao He scratched his head in embarrassment, his face blushed rarely, showing a shy smile, and said, "People say that the mother knows the child better than the mother, and the mother really knows what the child thinks."

"However, you have to be mentally prepared. Your father will try his best to prevent you from marrying the eleventh princess. Your wife, your father will definitely choose thousands of choices. She is worthy of you and suitable for Xiao Guofu. It's good." Mrs. Xiao reminded.

"However, I only want Ling Yue'er, and no one else. In Hai'er's heart, no one can replace Ling Yue'er. Mother, our Xiao family is already an extremely human minister, and I am an upstanding man in Xiaohe. Does my future have to depend on a marriage?" Xiao He never showed such thoughts in front of his father Xiao Zhenhai, but he finally couldn't help expressing his thoughts in front of his gentle mother.

Mrs. Xiao shook her head and said, "He'er, you are still too young. Marriage is not just a personal wish. The Xiao family is not as unshakable as you think."

After Xiao He listened, he fell silent. Mrs. Xiao looked at him, and her heart became a little heavy——

Winter Palace.

Concubine Xu Xian leaned on the imperial concubine chair and told the court musicians that they were playing a piece of "High Mountain and Flowing Water". She had a slight smile on her face and nodded her head gently following the rhythm.

After the shadow of the snake last time, several months passed, and Concubine Xu Xian gradually got rid of her fear by specially inviting the master to enter the palace to exorcise the Dharma. It was just that the servants in the palace had to check and clean the bed curtains and every corner several times every day , I can only fall asleep at night, and sometimes I will still be awakened by nightmares about snakes.

Turning his head, his eyes fell on Feng Ye inadvertently, but he found that Feng Ye's mind was not on the music at all, obviously thinking about other things.

Seeing this, Concubine Xu Xian raised her hand to signal the musicians to stop playing, and retreated one by one.

Feng Ye raised his head and said, "Concubine Mu, why don't you listen?"

Concubine Xu Xian said, "You don't have the heart to listen to it, but let these good songs live up to you, why don't you let them stop and get rewards."

"Mother concubine, son..." Feng Ye showed a trace of apology.

"Forget it, you have something on your mind, so you can't force you to listen to the music with me here, and my concubine also just wants to ask you something." Concubine Xu Xian motioned Jin Nanny to take the other maidservants out, and asked, "A few days ago , the boat your father and Lian Siyue were on capsized, and the other two concubines and I have been kneeling outside the Yuqing Palace. The six kings, seven kings, nine kings, and ten kings were all present, but you were the only one missing. Where did you go? ?”

Feng Ye stared blankly, and said, "I want to take this opportunity to find evidence against brother Qi Siwang, so I went to search for evidence near Quehu Lake when no one was prepared."

"I'm afraid it's not just because of the four kings, you are anxious like a moon, is what the concubine mother said right?" Concubine Xu Xian looked at Feng Ye closely and asked forcefully.

"Mother..."

"Although you have listened to the concubine mother's words and have not been close to Lian Siyue, you still can't let go of it, so when something happened to her, you were very anxious! Did you forget all the words you promised the concubine mother?" As she said that, Concubine Xu Xian had a trace of anger on her face. Yesterday outside the palace she had been praying for the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to have a Lian Siyue, but she still escaped the catastrophe.

"... Concubine Mu, Erchen just wants to investigate the truth." Feng Ye's eyes flickered slightly, avoiding Concubine Xu Xian's gaze, and said, "Concubine Mu, don't worry, even if Concubine Mu wants Erchen and Lian Siyue to be together , and may not be able to be together." He and she have already started to walk on two different paths, and even in the future, they will inevitably meet each other.

"How do you say that? Could it be that she still doesn't like you?" Concubine Xu Xian frowned slightly, her own son was the best in her mind, how could she allow others to look down on her.

"Concubine Mu, she really doesn't like Erchen, so you don't have to worry." Feng Ye said with a wry smile on his face.

"What, she..."

"Okay, mother concubine, we won't talk about this anymore." Feng Ye said without wanting to discuss this matter further.

"Okay." Concubine Xu Xian glanced at Feng Ye indifferently, and said, "Anyway, I have already found a few candidates for the princess for you. You can look forward to it someday. The concubine mother asks your father to marry you."

"..." Feng Ye was noncommittal, allowing Concubine Xu Xian to talk about choosing a concubine.

"Nowadays, it's the time when the four kings and the nine kings are fighting in full swing. You don't have to do anything, just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. When they fight to the point where their vitality is seriously injured, our Dongxi Palace will be the biggest winner. I I have been plotting for a lifetime, and in the matter of the throne, I cannot lose to Concubine Liang." Concubine Xu Xian's eyes showed a firm determination to win.

"My son's desire for the throne has never stopped. Mother and concubine, don't worry, my son has been secretly waiting for an opportunity. Whether it is the fourth brother or the ninth brother, I will not be soft when I want to make a move." Feng Ye Slowly clenched his fist, said.

"That's good, Ye'er, I have always believed in you. Compared with other princes, you have an advantage. You have gone to war, and your Eighth Prince's prestigious reputation is also a deterrent in the army. On this point, your father I will keep it in my heart. As long as you wait patiently and wait for the opportunity to act, your grandparents will help you at all costs." Concubine Xu Xian said a lot of well-intentioned words before letting Feng Ye go.

After leaving the Dongxi Palace, he saw a group of servants rushing towards the Beast Control Garden. Everyone was in a hurry, so he grabbed one of the eunuchs who was holding a thick rope in his hand, and asked:
"What happened?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, the Qilin captured by the emperor last year suddenly ran away. Chief Jiang led the guards to catch it, and all the servants were also dispatched. The emperor issued an order to capture the Qilin at all costs. Don’t hurt half a point.” The servant hurriedly finished speaking, and ran over with the crowd holding the rope.
