Lan Wei is much more mature than before, and her immature face looks vicissitudes due to the deepening of her complexion.
The arrogance and arrogance around him suddenly changed to calm and introverted.
Looking at Lan Wei like this, Ling Xiao didn't know what to say for a while.
Lan Wei met Ling Xiao's gaze, and lowered his head complicatedly. This man was as handsome as ever, with a slender figure hidden under the white brocade clothes, which made him, who was only dressed as a eunuch before, look completely new, noble and elegant.
This made Lan Wei realize that Ling Xiao is different, not only with his current identity, but also in his own heart, but because of his identity, he can no longer be casual with him. Thinking of this, Lan Wei Wei lowered her eyes in frustration, and instantly lost the desire to speak.
The two just looked at each other like this, relatively speechless, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward in an instant.
In the end, it was the maid who broke the silence: "General Lan, the master ordered his subordinates to bring the young master to visit the second prince of Shao Guo, please lead the way."
Lan Wei was very surprised when he heard the words, he turned to the maid and asked to be sure: "The emperor wants Ling Xiao... no, wants the emperor to visit the second prince?"
The maid nodded and replied: "Yes, so I ask the general to lead the way."
Lan Wei pursed his lips in thought, and after a while, he shook his head lightly, raised his eyes and smiled at the maid, "Can I have a few words with the emperor?"
Hearing this, the maid glanced at Ling Xiao, then lowered her head, took two steps back, and saluted, "You can do whatever you want."
After finishing speaking, the maid turned around and walked away, leaving space for Lan Wei and Ling Xiao.
As soon as Lan Wei saw the maid walking away, she immediately stepped forward, grabbed Ling Xiao's hand and asked solemnly: "You take your maid right now, and return."
Ling Xiao frowned, shook his hands, did not shake off Lan Wei's restraint, stared at Lan Wei displeasedly and said, "What do you mean?"
"Go back." Lan Wei looked serious and persistent.
Lan Wei's expression was solemn, his gaze was like a torch, and his expression seemed serious and irresistible.
Ling Xiao struggled, seeing this, silently calmed down, and said with a puzzled face: "Lan Wei, what exactly do you want to do?"
"I should ask you that." Lan Wei pursed her lips, "Ling Xiao, what exactly do you want?"
"...Me?" Ling Xiao sneered: "Didn't you see? The emperor sent me over, so I came to see Fu..."
Before Ling Xiao finished speaking, Lan Wei interrupted him angrily: "Can't you see, is this the emperor testing you?"
Ling Xiao was taken aback for a moment, his face straightened, and then his expression became serious.
The emperor is testing him
The seriousness on Ling Xiao's face allowed Lan Wei to see Ling Xiao's determination to take this matter seriously. He calmed down the urgency and excitement in his heart, and let go of Ling Xiao: "The matter of Fu Yujun wanting to marry you has caused an uproar in Shao Country. At that time, the emperor was in Shao country, do you think the emperor would not care? You are the emperor's emperor."
"..." At that time Ling Xiao was under house arrest in Fu Yujun's residence, but he didn't know the situation outside, so he really ignored it at this time.
Seeing Ling Xiao thinking deeply, Lan Wei reminded: "The emperor personally sent someone to send you over to visit Fu Yujun, what kind of intentions do you have? Use your understanding of the emperor's heart and your cleverness to think about it."
After he finished speaking, he turned his back to Ling Xiao, as if annoyed by Ling Xiao's rash decision.
Ling Xiao closed his eyes, his heart was extremely agitated.
The emperor was testing whether he would really go to see Fu Yujun, whether he really cared about Fu Yujun...
Ling Xiao shuddered all over, he couldn't imagine, if he really met Fu Yujun, what would happen to the emperor, what would he think of himself? How much trust do you have in yourself
Ling Xiao suddenly came to his senses, the blood on his face faded instantly, he looked extremely pale, his slender body was crumbling under the dusk, and he looked very weak.
Seeing this, Lan Wei's heart ached, and she felt pity for this person...
pity...
Lan Wei was aware of her own emotions, her complexion was strange and complex, she had quarreled with Ling Xiao before as if they were enemies, but she didn't expect that she would feel heartache because of one of his expressions.
As if feeling ashamed, Lan Wei clenched her fists, glanced away from Ling Xiao, and said coldly: "Go back, there's still time to go back now."
Ling Xiao naturally knew that what Lan Wei said was reasonable, he also wished he could climb back into the carriage immediately, and go back now to show his loyalty to the emperor.
but…
If he went back here, the emperor could let Fu Yujun go, and Fu Yujun himself would not be willing to surrender Shao.
Ling Xiao sighed softly, calmed down, and called the maid back.
Lan Wei heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that Ling Xiao was going to go back eventually, but in the end, he saw him looking at her with determined eyes and said: "General Lan, please lead the way."
"..."
Lan Wei was startled, and stared at Ling Xiao with resentment, and suddenly dragged him aside, gritted his teeth and said, "What's wrong with you? Ling Xiao, don't you understand what I'm saying?"
"If you go to see Fu Yujun, you will lose your trust in front of the emperor." Lan Wei said anxiously.
"I know." Ling Xiao said sadly, "Trust in front of the emperor is certainly important, but I can't leave Fu Yujun alone, let alone Mr. Lan Wei, what am I going to do with you?"
Lan Wei sneered when he heard that, he was helping Ling Xiao! Ling Xiao actually had such a tone! Lan Wei smiled angrily.
The laughter was gloomy and weird, Ling Xiao shuddered when he heard it, and couldn't help retorting: "Can you stop laughing like a crazy person?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Xiao saw that Lan Wei's complexion was black and blue, and his anger was clearly visible in front of Ling Xiao.
Lan Wei's face is full of expressions, which is far from the calm appearance before. It's as if the immature Lan Wei has returned.
In front of Ling Xiao, it was like a lion that had lost its sharp claws, it could only send fierce gazes to Ling Xiao wave after wave, but the claws were completely powerless.
Ling Xiao shook his head lightly, knowing that Lan Wei would not do anything to him, he turned around and wanted to leave.
Lan Wei reached out to stop him.
Ling Xiao frowned, and looked at Lan Wei impatiently.
Lan Wei looked at Ling Xiao and clenched his fists with a sneer. This man obviously cared so much about the emperor's trust and was also very afraid of the emperor's dragon power, but he wanted to challenge the emperor's dragon power.
Simply stubborn!
Lan Wei frowned tightly, as if he had lost his patience, he stepped forward and raised his hand, trying to stop Ling Xiao's decision by brute force, but his gaze suddenly met Ling Xiao's.
Those penetrating eyes flowed into Lan Wei's heart like a stream of clear water, soothing Lan Wei's growing eagerness and irritability. Lan Wei's heart sank, and she involuntarily let go of her raised hand.
In those eyes, Lan Wei saw Ling Xiao's determination to save Fu Yujun.
That was an irresistible decision...
Lan Wei gritted her teeth in resentment, this person is obviously so afraid of causing trouble, why did he have such a kind-hearted temperament.
Lan Wei pursed her lips, and a blurry image appeared in her mind. It was when she fell off a horse and fell off a cliff...
That time, it was Ling Xiao who gave up his life to save him.
Could it be that at that moment, Ling Xiao was also so stubborn and stupid
Lan Wei's heart softened, and he glanced away silently. After a long time, he sighed softly, and asked with a hint of reluctance: "One last question for you."
Lan Wei's voice was obviously much calmer than before, but Ling Xiao still didn't want to listen to Lan Wei's question, so he directly broke off the hand blocking his way, and walked over him to the maid.
"I have nothing to answer you." Ling Xiao replied like this.
Lan Wei frowned, turned around and grabbed Ling Xiao's wrist, exerting a little force.
Ling Xiao stopped in pain as soon as he felt pain.
Lan Wei asked coldly: "Do you have any different thoughts about Fu Yujun?"
"What?" Ling Xiao was puzzled, his brows were completely blank: "What do you mean?"
Seeing this, Lan Wei relaxed her brows, she understood, and her subordinates let go of Ling Xiao.
It seems that this Fu Yujun is just unrequited love.
For some reason, Lan Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and felt much better. , then said in a deep voice: "Go back, Fu Yujun won't die, I'll 'persuade' him for you."
"Huh?" Ling Xiao was surprised: "You help me? Your Mr. Lan Wei help me?"
Unbelievable, Ling Xiao sneered: "If I remember correctly, you and I seem to have had some festivals before."
Lan Wei pursed her lips: "You and I have festivals from Mo Qi. Now that Mo Qi is no longer standing between you and me, what else can I have with you?"
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Although that's the case, don't you always hate me? Why do you want to help me, I...can you trust me?"
When Lan Wei heard this, she remained silent, her complexion turned black, and she obviously didn't want to answer.
Ling Xiao didn't let him go, and kept asking him.
"If you can't tell why, how can I trust you?"
Lan Wei couldn't bear it anymore, pulled Ling Xiao and said bitterly: "I fell from a horse on the mountain before, you were the one who saved me!"
Ling Xiao was startled, his expression was unnatural for a moment, Lan Wei caught this moment sharply, and let go of him.
"I don't want to investigate why you lied to me. Since you saved me, this time it's me who is repaying your favor."
After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Ling Xiao to ask questions, and walked up to the maid first and said: "The emperor said that he is not feeling well, and I'm afraid he won't be able to visit the one inside."
The maid heard the words and nodded clearly: "In that case, then take the young master back."
The maid looked at Ling Xiao who was chasing up and said.
Ling Xiao glanced at Lan Wei, the sincerity on Lan Wei's face did not seem to be fake, maybe he could really trust him for once.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao nodded, did not refute the reason Lan Wei made up for him, turned around and took the maid into the carriage.
Watching Ling Xiao leave, Lan Wei bent her lips, turned around and walked coldly towards the dungeon.
The dungeon is damp, and there is a prison cell inside, which is stronger than the others. The door is locked with layers of chains, and a man with a disheveled face sits inside.
He has a slender figure, and the clothes covered with dust can no longer see the original color, but it can still be seen that they are foreign clothes, which are very different from Mu Guo.
"Fu Yujun." Lan Wei called out from the iron gate.
Fu Yujun raised his eyes slightly when he heard the words, and seeing that it was Lan Wei, he sneered, then lowered his head, obviously not wanting to pay attention to Lan Wei.
Seeing this, Lan Wei said bluntly: "Ling Xiao has just arrived."
When Fu Yujun heard this, his eyes lit up, he stood up, and looked towards the door with hope on his face.
But when he looked left and right, he couldn't see Ling Xiao's figure, and when he looked at Lan Wei, he felt a little annoyed.
Lan Wei said flatly: "He has already left."
"..." Fu Yujun closed his eyes in disappointment, turned around and wanted to sit back, Lan Wei said quickly: "He wants me to bring you something."
Fu Yujun paused, turned his back to Lan Wei and asked, "What?"
The voice was hoarse and unpleasant, which not only surprised Lan Wei, but also made Fu Yujun frown.
Fu Yujun pursed his lips tightly. Before long, he was so embarrassed.
However, his life was almost gone, so what was the embarrassment.
"He said he didn't want you to die." Lan Wei said.
Fu Yujun was startled, and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I can't agree to this matter."
"You can do it if you want." Lan Wei seduced.
There was a light in Fu Yujun's eyes, and he turned to look at him and said, "What do you say?"
"The emperor agreed, as long as you surrender and surrender and let Shao become a vassal of Mu, he will spare you and let you continue to be the king of Shao."
"Impossible!" Fu Yujun interrupted Lan Wei angrily, "Even if I die, I will not commit treason."
"Treason?" Lan Wei sneered, "Which country?"
"You!" Fu Yujun glared at Lan Wei angrily.
Lan Wei said casually: "The Shao Kingdom has already been destroyed. If you disappear, the Shao Kingdom will be completely gone."
"..." Fu Yujun clenched his fists.
Seeing this, Lan Wei stepped aside so that Fu Yujun could see what was going on inside the dungeon.
This dungeon is filled with important court officials of the Shao Kingdom, as well as soldiers who refuse to surrender.
They looked exactly like Fu Yujun in the dungeon, they were all disheveled, dazed, and desperate. Fu Yujun looked at them and took two steps back guiltily.
It is he who is incompetent and makes his people suffer...
"If you are not sincere, these people will die with you, and Shao Guo will cease to exist."
As Lan Wei said, seeing the grief on Fu Yujun's face, she sighed in her heart, then closed her mouth, and said leisurely, "Think about it for yourself."
With that said, he turned and left.
He didn't know if it was right or wrong to help Ling Xiao like this.
The emperor is still willing to keep Fu Yujun, one is because Ling Xiao begs for mercy, and the other is that with the presence of the rightful master of Shao country, the territory of Shao country will be much easier to control in a short time.
However, Fu Yujun is a dangerous person, and it is not known whether it will be a mistake to seek good control for a short time.
It's a pity that he could replace Fu Yujun as the king of the Shao Kingdom. Fu Shangjun who sincerely served Muguo is dead. If Fu Shangjun is still alive, even if Ling Xiao pleads for mercy, the emperor will not keep Fu Yujun.
