Xia Yuanqiu smiled mysteriously: "Where do you think he is now?"
Zhu Yan said with a dark face: "How do I know where he is? As long as he's not in Kyoto, it doesn't matter where he is!" These words were a bit angry. After all, they were brothers. He didn't really hate him to the bone, he just didn't want Song Ning. It’s just that he meets Yuan Qiu again.
Xia Yuanqiu said: "He is now in Qixi, Nantou Mountain!"
Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows and looked sideways at Xia Yuanqiu's face, which had a profound meaning: "Did you let him go?"
Xia Yuanqiu nodded: "Lily was poisoned by Gu. Only Gu Po can cure her, so I followed the trend and asked him to escort Lily to Qixi."
Looking at the weird look on Xia Yuanqiu's face, he understood everything in his heart: "Do you know everything?"
"What?" She pretended to be stupid!
"Miss Xianxian's matter!" He had a clear conscience. He didn't mention it before because he didn't want Yuan Qiu to think too much.
"Any fool can see that he is passionately devoted to you, but that girl is also a good person, and she doesn't get entangled with you because of her selfish desires. Therefore, I quite like her. I can afford it and let it go. It’s worth it, it’s pretty good.”
Zhu Yan couldn't help but laugh: "So, you packaged Song Ning for her?"
Xia Yuanqiu shrugged: "I'm just providing an opportunity. I won't be able to interfere with how they choose in the future. If there's fate and if you dare to love, nothing is impossible!"
He stretched out his hand and scratched her naughty little nose: "You!"
Xing Ying hurried in, cupped her hands towards Zhu Yan and Xia Yuanqiu and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, the Emperor is here."
Both of them had a clear look on their faces. It was natural for the emperor to come here at this time, and there was nothing surprising about it.
As soon as Xing Ying retreated to one side, Zhu Sheng held up his dragon robe and strode in. At first glance, Zhu Yan, who looked ugly and was only skin and bones, was lying on the bed, and beside him stood Xia Yuanqiu, who also looked haggard. .
His heart tightened slightly, and he quickly walked forward, sat beside the bed, reached out to hold Zhu Yan's hand, and frowned: "How did you end up like this?"
Zhu Yan sighed: "My brother has disobeyed the emperor's orders and returned from the battle without shame!"
Zhu Sheng said hurriedly: "Who said you were defeated and returned? I have received a peace request from the Beiming Kingdom this morning. They are willing to form a century-old alliance with our country, pay tribute to friends, and never declare war!"
When Xia Yuanqiu heard this, he immediately shook his head: "Impossible. Unless Princess Mochou of Beiming Kingdom is dead, this matter can never be true."
Zhu Sheng was puzzled: "What's the explanation?"
Xia Yuanqiu hummed: "Princess Mochou fell in love with Zhu Yan at first sight on the battlefield and vowed to recruit her as her husband. And this time in order to rescue Zhu Yan, I destroyed all the walls of Beiming Palace, and at least Killed thousands of Yulin guards and seriously injured Princess Mochou. With her vengeful temperament, will she let me go? Will she let us Xiliang go? This is absolutely impossible. I guess this is just a plan of theirs. , The purpose is to make us relax our vigilance against them, so that they can look for opportunities to counterattack."
Zhu Yan nodded in agreement: "Yes, I agree with what Yuan Qiu said. With the temperament of Princess Mochou of Beiming Kingdom, she will never let it go!"
Zhu Sheng Junyi couldn't help but frown and said, "So, we can't form an alliance with them?"
Zhu Yan shook his head: "No, since he proposed an alliance, we should return the favor in good faith, but at the same time, we must strengthen the monitoring of Beiming. We must not relax at all, and we must not let them take advantage of it!"
