The morning light fell, in the Jiuyou Palace, in the backyard, Ning Chen stood all night and never entered the room to rest.
The perilous Heavenly Demon Imperial City is in danger every step of the way, and no mistakes are allowed. Ning Chen seriously thinks about every step in the future, and does not dare to be careless.
"His Royal Highness, the ninth prince sent a greeting card."
At this moment, outside the backyard, a palace guard quickly walked over and said respectfully.
"Understood, back off."
Ning Chen regained his senses and said.
"Yes"
The guard took orders and turned to retreat.
Ning Chen stepped out of the backyard and walked towards the front hall.
In the palace of the king, Ning Chen picked it up on the display table of the invitations, and frowned after reading it.
The ninth prince is coming
Why did Xuanque come here at this time
Thoughts kept flashing in Ning Chen's heart, Xuan Ling had an accident, and the ninth prince Xuan Que was undoubtedly the biggest loser. Without Xuan Ling's protection, it would be difficult for Xuan Que to hold on to the power in his hands.
Now that Xuanque has come, the purpose is worth thinking about.
While thinking about it, outside the Jiuyou Palace, a young figure in blue clothes stepped forward, and the slightly sinister face became much calmer at this moment.
When Xuanque came, the two guards immediately saluted in front of the palace.
"Meet His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince."
"Get up, go and report." Xuanque said.
"Yes"
One of the guards took the order and quickly entered the house to report.
In front of the palace, the guards stopped and saluted respectfully, "His Royal Highness, the ninth prince asks to see you."
"welcome."
Inside the hall, Ning Chen said calmly.
The guard took the order, got up and walked towards the front of the mansion.
Not long after, outside the palace, Xuanque's figure appeared and walked over.
Ning Chen walked out of the palace, stepped forward to greet him, and saluted politely, "I have seen Brother Jiuhuang."
"Thirteenth brother, don't be too polite."
Xuan Que took two steps forward, helped the former, and said, "I'm here today to make amends for the thirteenth brother."
"Oh?"
Ning Chen heard the words, with a puzzled look on his face, and said, "Brother Jiuhuang, what is the meaning of what you said, please ask Your Highness to explain."
Xuan Que nodded and followed the former into the palace.
"Brother Jiuhuang, please take a seat." Ning Chen said.
"Thank you"
Xuanque said politely, and immediately walked to the seat and sat down.
"Shi Yu, serve tea."
Ning Chen looked at the woman standing still not far away, and said.
"Yes"
Shi Yu took the lead and walked quickly towards the rear of the palace.
"What is the meaning of what the Nine Emperor Brothers just said, the Emperor Brother is stupid and can't understand the meaning of the Emperor Brother."
Ning Chen walked to the opposite side of Xuanque and sat down, and asked softly.
"It's not a big deal, but Brother Jiuhuang still thinks it's better to confess to the Thirteenth Brother."
Xuan Que sighed softly, looked at Shi Yu who was walking behind the hall, and said, "Shi Yu, your family, this prince, has set them free, you can see them at any time."
Shi Yu was shocked when she heard the words, and the tea tray in her hand almost fell.
A little tea was spilled, which scalded Shi Yu's hands, but Shi Yu forcibly endured it and stepped forward to put the tea tray down.
"Be careful, don't be so reckless."
Ning Chen said lightly, "Go down and apply some scalding medicine."
"Yes"
Shi Yu bowed her head and took the lead, resisting her excitement, and walked out of the hall.
"Nine emperors, don't be surprised, it's because the emperor's discipline is not strict and he has lost his etiquette."
Ning Chen looked ahead and smiled.
"Thirteenth brother is polite."
Xuan Que sighed softly, "It's not that Shi Yu is being rude, it's just that my words just made her too excited."
"Brother Jiuhuang, what do you say?"
Ning Chen picked up a teacup, poured some tea, pushed it in front of the former, and said. "Shi Yu Shiqing is an eyeliner deliberately placed in the thirteenth brother's mansion for the sake of the brother. There is no hostility for the brother, it is just at your request of the seventh emperor. After all, the thirteenth brother has a special status. We want to win over the thirteenth brother, must know your
like. " Xuan Que said with a hint of apology in his tone.
"I see."
Ning Chen had a look of surprise on his face, then he smiled and said, "The ninth prince is too serious, if it's just to check the emperor's younger brother's washing, these two girls can't be considered eyeliner, just ask someone from the palace. One word and you'll know."
"The thirteenth brother is not to blame."
Xuanque breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the person in front of him, his expression became serious, and said, "Thirteenth brother, Seventh Emperor has an accident, you should already know about it."
"Um"
A look of regret flashed in Ning Chen's eyes, and he said, "Something happened in the Dragon Emperor Mountain, and the Seventh Emperor Brother failed to avoid this disaster, which is really distressing."
"The Seventh Emperor is benevolent, but he didn't expect to suffer such a calamity."
Xuan Que said with emotion, "The deceased has passed away, we still have to look forward. Thirteenth brother, you should know the current situation in the imperial city. The Seventh Emperor has an accident and the balance is broken. In the future, we may all be involved in this huge The vortex of imperial power."
"As long as we are not tempted by power and insist on staying out of the way, what is there to be afraid of." Ning Chen said softly.
"Thirteenth brother thinks too simply."
Xuan Que said solemnly, "The current situation in the imperial city will soon become clear. The battle between the two princes will come to the table from the dark. Even if we want to stay out of the way, it will be difficult to ensure that we will not be involved."
Hearing this, Ning Chen frowned slightly and said, "According to what Brother Jiuhuang said, what should we do?"
"To form an alliance, to advance and retreat together."
Xuan Que became serious and said, "Because there are still some chips in the hands of the brother, and the status of the thirteenth brother, even the two princes dare not underestimate, in the future, whether advancing or retreating, the initiative will be in our own hands." Ning Chen listened and fell silent. After a long time, he nodded lightly and said, "What Brother Jiuhuang said is indeed polite. At this time, only when you are strong can you better protect yourself. Brother Jiuhuang is in charge of the criminal law of the imperial city. Deep, the emperor wants more
Relying on Jiuhuangxiong to take care of him. "
"My brother, don't be polite."
Xuanque smiled and said, "So, the Thirteenth Brother agrees?"
"Thanks to the Nine Emperor Brothers looking down on it, the Emperor Brother can't help but know the good and the bad."
Ning Chen said softly.
"Well!"
Xuan Que got up, picked up the teacup, looked at the person in front of him, and said sternly, "I will use tea instead of wine for my brother, and toast the thirteenth brother. From today, the two of you and I will officially form an alliance, sharing honor and disgrace, advancing and retreating together."
Ning Chen stood up, raised the teacup, and said calmly, "It's an honor for the emperor."
The teacups collided, and the two drank the tea at the same time, then smiled at each other, and sat down again.
"Thirteenth brother, I heard that you went to visit the commander of the Imperial Army a few days ago. I don't know what happened?" Xuanque asked in doubt.
"Just a quick drink."
Ning Chen explained, "Commander Xuan Mo is an upright person, even if the emperor wants to win over, he is still a bit powerless."
Xuan Que nodded and said, "This person really does not eat hard and soft, and always insists on neutrality. Otherwise, the three demon emperors will not rest assured that the responsibility of guarding the imperial city will be entrusted to him."
The two talked, from early morning until noon, and it seemed that they were confidants and chatted happily.
At noon, Xuan Que got up to leave, and left reluctantly.
In the palace, Ning Chen looked at the back of the former leaving, and his eyes gradually turned cold.
It's been a long time since I felt that someone was as shameless as him. The ninth prince, Xuanque, had underestimated him before.
