Xiao Xu stopped and looked at him coldly.
Seeing this, Xun Kun did not dare to delay, he changed his hands to hold the imperial decree, took out a letter from his pocket, and when it was handed over, he secretly glanced at Xiao Xu before saying, "The Empress said, if you If you don't want to accept the decree, I will hand this letter to you, saying that filial piety comes first, and you will not reject this letter."
Xiao Xu's eyes fell on the letter coolly, "I really understand this king."
Xun Kun laughed hastily.
When Chu Qingyan returned to the mansion, it was obvious that something was wrong in the atmosphere in the mansion.
Before she was caught and questioned, a group of people she had never seen before approached.
She couldn't help but stop, and the people in front also saw her and looked at her without a trace.
This group of people was none other than Xun Kun and his guards who had just retired from the living room.
When he came to the front, Xun Kun cupped his hands and saluted Chu Qingyan, "I think this is the famous young master Chu Yan."
Chu Qingyan was surprised, who is this person, dressed in an official mansion, could it be an official next to Lord Lin
"I'm just here, sir, who are you?" She also politely asked.
Xun Kun nodded slightly and reported to himself, "The next is Xun Kun, the Minister of War."
Minister of War
Why is he here
Without waiting for Chu Qingyan to speak, Xun Kun said with a deep meaning, "I heard that His Highness was following a young talent in Kyoto, and when I saw it now, it really is a talent, and now the court is in need of talent, if you follow His Highness, you will definitely It’s a promising future.”
"What the lord said is." Although he was confused, Chu Qingyan still smiled.
It happened that the servants came up to lead the way, and Chu Qingyan separated from Xun Kun.
However, what Xun Kun said before leaving made Chu Qingyan have some guesses.
"Young Master Chu has been by His Highness's side for so many years, and His Highness can listen to what he wants to say. I hope that Young Master can persuade His Highness well. In everything, the overall situation is the most important, so that we can have a bright future and be happy and healthy."
When Chu Qingyan walked and pondered these words, another person walked in front of her, it was the Fire Spirit who was looking for her.
"Huo Ling, did something happen?" Chu Qingyan asked first without waiting for him to speak.
When Huo Ling saw her, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then told her what happened today in a concise and comprehensive way. At the end of the speech, he was very angry.
"When I was fine in the past, I wanted to leave the master aside. Now that something happened, I just let the master come forward to solve it. How can there be such a good thing!"
Chu Qingyan hurriedly glared at him when she heard the words, "Be careful that the walls have ears!"
How could the Ninety-five Supreme One be able to arrange it so casually
Huo Ling knew that he had lost his words, and immediately fell silent, but his face was still gloomy.
At this time, Chu Qingyan's heart was also in a mess, and it was really annoying to appear in this matter at this time, "Where is Your Highness now?"
"After Master Xun left, the master went back to the study, and he hasn't left yet." Huo Ling sighed lightly.
"Okay, I'll go take a look right now." Chu Qingyan left those words and hurried to the study.
Huo Ling looked at the back of the little princess and sighed again. He came out to find the little princess just in the hope that at this time, someone could accompany the master, and the master should feel uncomfortable now.
Chu Qingyan hurried to the door of the study, but she stopped when she raised her hand to knock on the door.
Just now, she came in a hurry along the way, thinking about seeing the big ice cube sooner, but she was close to the door, but she didn't know how to comfort him when she saw others later.
Being called by someone like this is coming and going, and he is still his biological father. No matter how big of a heart, he can't bear this feeling!
Just when she hesitated, a shallow voice came from the door, "What are you doing there if you don't come in?"
been discovered!
She bit her lip and pushed the door open, a smile on her face when she stepped in.
"How do you know it's me? Those ears are so pointy!" She turned to close the door and walked towards him with a smile.
"At this time, no one dares to come in except you." Xiao Xu stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, his eyes falling on the distant horizon.
When Chu Qingyan passed the desk, she saw the letter mentioned by Huo Ling, her eyes didn't stop, she went straight behind him, then reached out to hug him from behind unexpectedly, and pressed her face to the side. On his back, his tone was complaining and mischievous.
"Who made you so cold on weekdays, everyone dare not breathe in front of you."
Xiao Xu chuckled, "Isn't there an exception?"
She knew he was alluding to her.
She shook her hands in a clingy way, "What's the matter? They're afraid of you, but I'm not afraid of you! I'm different from other people!"
"Yeah, you are different from others." He repeated her words, but he didn't know whether it was a response to her words at this time, or there were other meanings.
"Big Ice Cube, do you have something unhappy? Say it and I'm happy!" She said cheerfully, but behind Xiao Xu's invisible eyes, her eyes were full of sadness and pity.
Xiao Xu did not punish her for her words as usual, and his tone was still calm, "Don't you know all about it?"
Chu Qingyan hugged his back tightly and said softly, "That's different. What others say is different from what you say yourself. If you keep it in your heart, it will be uncomfortable and you will get sick."
Both of them were silent for a while before Xiao Xu spoke slowly.
"Just now Xun Kun brought news from the front line. The Fourth Emperor's younger brother was defeated, and the city suffered a lot. If this continues, the Nancang army will soon invade the city."
These days, Xiao Lieqi is preparing for his marriage with the little guy. He didn't pay much attention to the battle report on the front line, so he didn't send the information to Jiangnan. If it wasn't for Xun Kun's visit, I'm afraid he didn't know that it was so serious. degree.
"So the purpose of his coming is to pass on His Majesty's imperial decree so that you can take Xiao Ran's place and settle the war?" Chu Qingyan had already guessed it from Huo Ling's words.
"I have no idea."
As soon as Xiao Xu's words came out, she was stunned on the spot.
"What?"
Xiao Xu turned around and let her wrap herself around her hands and shoulders, raising her brows lightly, "Because I didn't take the imperial decree."
Why does this person seem normal, not as depressed and sad as she imagined.
But this shocked her even more.
"Is this really good? It will be implicated in the nine clans!"
Xiao Xu gently embraced her in his arms, his tone was unpredictable calm.
"That imperial decree, even if I don't read it, I can guess what the contents are. Once the imperial decree is opened, I am afraid that many things will not be able to be done."
"Then what can we do?" She was a little dazed.
"Ayan, do you want me to accept the order?"
"Do you want to hear the truth?" She buried her head in his arms, and her answer was self-evident.
She knew that she might be too selfish in front of the world.
"That's why I asked Xun Kun to speak to the emperor, saying that there is no such person in this world as Xiao Xu." Xiao Xu said lightly.
what-
Chu Qingyan was stunned on the spot.
