On the path leading to Luoyang City, a spacious carriage was speeding along the winding path.

At first glance, the man driving the cart and the young man leading the car were dressed simply, and they did not look like they came from a wealthy family. But if you are sharp-eyed and can see the young man's eyes clearly, you will know that this man in simple clothes

Young man, born with a pair

He has the same rose-colored eyes as the Sixth Prince, who is known as the Smiling Shura. If this sharp-eyed man also knows something about the cloth business, he would not miss his seemingly simple clothes, as if to cover up something. In fact,

It is an imported product worth every cent.

In this way, it is not difficult to guess that he is Xuanyuan Qian himself.

There were very few people who could be personally escorted by him, so one could naturally imagine what kind of people would be in the carriage behind him.

"Sixth Master, please go slower."

The driver was outside the curtain and said a few words to the people inside. Then he lowered the curtain, tightened the reins, raised his head and said to Xuanyuan Qian, who was riding a tall horse in front.

Xuanyuan Qian slowed down, turned his head and nodded slightly to the old man driving the car. There was still an almost reflexive smile on his lips, which was not real, but the modesty hidden in his gentle eyes was extremely clear.

The old man seemed to have noticed that rare softness, and responded with a loving smile. He continued to drive with his eyes straight ahead, his eyes extremely focused, but his driving movements were not as skillful as those of the groom, and he looked very unfamiliar.

Hey, I haven’t driven a car in many years. The old man sighed in his heart.

That's right, the old man driving the car was the most caring eunuch around Emperor Chen, Qi Dehai.

No wonder Xuanyuan Qian showed rare humility to him.

In the carriage——

Emperor Chen was sitting on the spacious soft couch, raising his right hand slightly with a sunspot between his index and middle fingers. His eyes were always on the chess table in front of him, thinking about playing a normal chess game.

And sitting opposite him was none other than Zi Chen, the Imperial Preceptor and the direct heir of the Zi family who had recently returned to the capital after traveling for many years.

"Zi Chen, if I win this game, you have to answer my question honestly." As if he had been thinking about it for a long time, Emperor Chen made a move as if he had a chance to win. He raised his head and glanced at the Juechen man in front of him, who could be regarded as an old friend.

There is an unfathomable depth in his eyes.

"If you want to know anything, Long Live the Lord, just ask. Why use the chess game as a bet?" Zi Chen laid down the chess pieces unhurriedly, obviously not feeling any urgency because of the tendency of winning or losing in the chess game.

Emperor Chen pondered for a while and then placed the chess pieces faster than the previous move.

"I don't want to use my status to pressure you. I am just a friend and answer my question."

"Then it depends on whether Long Live can win this round." Yun Danfeng said lightly, Zi Chen raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Chen, his eyes were still calm and unshakable.

"You, you haven't made any progress in these years, but you can see the chess game more clearly than anyone else. But... your chess moves are steady, and that girl Han hasn't learned any of your skills at all." It seems like a test, but also seems to be a test.

It was just a joke between friends. Emperor Chen brought Ling Zihan out intentionally or unintentionally, probably related to the question he wanted to ask.

After hesitating for a few moments, Emperor Chen glanced at Zi Chen with his peripheral vision, and inadvertently saw a flash of light in his eyes, as if he had guessed something at that moment. But he still acted very calmly, making moves, raising his head, and flashing in his eyes

A look of regret.

Zi Chen stared at the chessboard, holding the white piece in his hand, and hesitated slightly. But he said: "That child is a good piece of material, but he has not carefully crafted it. Moreover, if Long Live plays chess with her, you will find that her chess skills

The road seems reckless, but it is more delicate than Zi Chen's. Although it is only about attacking and not defending, that is only when she is fully confident."

"Well... Mingzhu is the same way." Emperor Chen narrowed his eyes, seeming to be lost in memories. There was a vague smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes glanced at Zi Chen. He clearly saw that Zi Chen was mentioned by him.

When he touched Mingzhu, his fingertips trembled involuntarily. So, he applied more force and sighed: "If Mingzhu is still alive, Girl Han will definitely be a very talented woman."

"Pah——"

Without paying attention, the chess piece slipped from his fingers and landed on the star position in the lower left corner of the chessboard, ruining the situation he was about to reverse. But Zi Chen was able to stabilize his mood quickly, playing with the chess piece in his hand, waiting for Emperor Chen to make his move.

, but his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking seriously about how to tactfully mitigate the situation that was already extremely unfavorable to him.

"Are you still hiding this chess piece?" Emperor Chen took his piece and looked down at the chessboard again.

"What do you want to say to Zi Chen? You can speak frankly. Zi Chen is all ears."

Emperor Chen looked up at Zi Chen and shook his head slightly, "I still have to win before I can ask. But before that, it would be good to talk about other things. I have considered the suggestion you made last time, Ling Zihan

She is indeed a good candidate, and the emperor's grandson also listens to her words."

The emperor's eldest grandson... listen to her?

If the child heard this sentence, he would probably roll his eyes until his eyes cramped.

She would probably make a few disdainful remarks, such as, "The person who said this is blind and has no eyesight," or he would ask self-deprecatingly, "Could it be that she was sleepwalking after drinking too much in the middle of the night, and went to bribe her?"

It’s time to talk...

Thinking about it, the corners of Zi Chen's tight mouth pursed slightly, adding a touch of humanity to his compassionate smile.

"Zi Chen feels that Long Live needs to ask the opinion of the child and King Ke. After all, they have just been married. If the child is allowed to enter the palace to govern the emperor's grandson, it will be equivalent to separating the two of them. Moreover, although the emperor's eldest grandson is a child,

But he is not young yet, and he is a man after all. If the child is allowed to be alone with the emperor's eldest grandson, I am afraid it will cause a lot of misunderstandings."

The rejection was also said by Zi Chen very well. He also named the interests and would not offend Emperor Chen. This shows that he is not an outsider, but an "expert" who only wants to be Xian Yun Ye He. But fate

Just like this, the more he didn't want to, the more he had to be caught and caught in the whirlpool of the royal family.

"That's what you said. However, that boy Gu He needs discipline. And girl Han has the ability to take care of him. That's why I took a fancy to this." The people of the Western Dynasty were open to the public, but the royal family had a strong sense of security for men and women.

But it is much more rigorous than the folk. Emperor Chen thought about Zi Chen's words and felt that

It was not only reminding him of this, but also had other meanings. However, he really wanted Ling Zihan to be the husband of the emperor's eldest son, Xuanyuan Guhe. It was not because of how knowledgeable Ling Zihan was, but because

Because she is intimidating enough to be able to suppress that brat who is not afraid of anything.

After pondering for a moment, Emperor Chen paused and changed the topic, "Let's put this matter aside for now. Let's talk about you. After all these years of absence, haven't you found a girl you like? Don't forget, the position of Imperial Master is still there.

You are the successor of the Zi family, and only the purest bloodline in your lineage can inherit that position."

"It depends on fate." Zi Chen still said the same thing.

Emperor Chen didn't know how many times he had heard this word "fate" from Zi Chen. He smiled absentmindedly and said: "I'm tired of hearing what you said. Tell me, whose girl can get in with you?"

If my eyes meet your requirements, I will grant you a marriage when I return to Beijing, how about it?"

"Your Majesty, this matter... we really can't rush it. Zi Chen has a breeze in his sleeves and is not in the mood for love. I'm afraid it will delay this girl."

"Those words again, can't you change your words? If you really don't want to marry a wife... you can also have a concubine first. In short, you can't break this special bloodline of the Zi family. Even if you want to break it, you can't break it in mine.

In your hand!" The final note rose slightly, and Emperor Chen's voice became a little heavier, imbued with majesty.

Zi Chen smiled as if he didn't care, and waved his hand, "Long live Zi Chen, Zi Chen has no intention, so why force it? If Zi Chen really falls in love with that girl that day, then he can ask the emperor for marriage!"

After going back and forth, many chess pieces were lost. The chess game that was thought to be irreversible, but under Zi Chen's careful arrangements, found a balance and gradually favored him.

But Emperor Chen didn't want to admit defeat, and still played the game of chess in deep thought.

But seeing Zi Chen's chess moves showing an offensive tone, Emperor Chen's mind suddenly became more thoughtful. It seems that the keen Zi Chen must have noticed what he wanted to ask, and Zi Chen wanted to hide it, so he

Such a pursuit of victory. However, today

It seemed that it was impossible to ask him that question in the chess game. Looking up, Emperor Chen looked at the man whose expression was still as calm as a cloud. He secretly made a decision, sighed almost imperceptibly, and asked in a different way.

That problem arises——

"Zi Chen, do you already have a successor?"

*

Prince Ke's Mansion, in Jiuqing Pond.

After running away in panic, Ling Zihan finally swam to the other side, reached out and climbed to the edge of the cold pool, and surfaced.

I don't know if it was because of the water she drank, but Ling Zihan sneezed several times in a row.

But the hot spring water was uncomfortable when poured into her nose. Even when she sneezed, she felt like she had a "gunpowder smell".

After surfacing, she looked back at her surroundings. The dense mist obscured her sight, making it impossible for her to find Xuanyuan Huang's voice.

Except for the sound of trembling water from the hot spring mouth and her slight breathing, the place was so quiet and eerie.

Xuanyuan Huang...is missing?!

"Hey!" Ling Zihan shouted softly, "Hey Xuanyuan Huang, come out!"

Still no movement.

Ling Zihan's heart trembled and she panicked. Subconsciously, countless suspenseful scenes popped up in her mind. For example, a secret room murder case, a corpse hidden in a swimming pool case...

Bah, bah, bah, what are you thinking about?

Ling Zihan shook her head vigorously, and her mood calmed down. Looking at the white mist in her eyes, she was even more certain of the answer. The evil was definitely playing tricks on her!

But she disappeared out of thin air, and she was still a little uneasy, so she reached out and grabbed the handrail on the side, trying to get up and look for him. She guessed that he must have hid outside the screen while she was swimming.

But just as she struggled to climb up to the edge of the pool, a hand suddenly stretched out from the water and grabbed her exposed ankle with great precision.

"ah--"

Ling Zihan, who was quickly dragged down, was definitely an atheist, but no matter how atheistic she was, she was still frightened. She struggled instinctively and pulled hard on the pole with both hands, but the force under the water was too great.

, no matter how hard she tried to break away, it was of no avail.

During the ups and downs, Ling Zihan stretched out her feet to kick those hands, but something tickled her soles, and she laughed out loud.

"Xuanyuan Huang, you bastard, come out! Stop making trouble, haha... don't, ah -" Before she could finish her words, Ling Zihan sank into the water with her sudden scream.
To be continued...
