Qingyang and Orfeng came out of the door. When they turned around and closed the door, they secretly glanced at Lang Zhuo, who was reading a book in his room.

I just feel that in that calm body, there is a madness that is about to collapse.

Just now, Mr. Xu took Miss Xu Er into his arms and caught Lang Zhuo's eyes.

Even if they said warmly, "Master Xu, please come and talk to me," both Qingyang and Onfeng felt a cold air running from the soles of their feet to their backs.

Not long after Xiao Xu walked out, he was stopped by Qing Yang and Ao Feng. When he heard Lang Zhuo's invitation, he was obviously stunned for a moment.

Knowing that he couldn't resist, he raised eyebrows, turned around, and followed the two of them to the post house.

Xiao Xu was panicked at first, but the closer he got to the post house, the calmer he became.

The past has passed away, so there is no need to be afraid, let alone cover up. Only when he is honest can others not take advantage of his shortcomings.

Xiao Xu stomped the snow on the soles of his shoes twice on the steps in front of the building, dusted off the snow on his crown, and then followed the others upstairs.

The tea was already cooked and rolled against the lid. Lang Zhuo put the teapot on the table without haste, and then placed the copper pot on the teapot.

When Qingyang brought the people in, Lang Zhuo didn't raise his eyebrows and continued to do what he was doing calmly.

Qingyang withdrew, and Xiao Xu bowed and said, "Xiao Xu, the lower official, has met Mr. Lang."

Lang Zhuo had already poured tea into two teacups. He took a deep breath and suppressed all his thoughts before turning around and smiling, pointing to the soft mat opposite, "Sit down quickly! This is not Beijing, so there is no need to be polite."

Xiao Xu did not hesitate and sat opposite Lang Zhuo.

Every time he faced Lang Zhuo, Xiao Xu always had unspeakable emotions in his heart, and now was no exception.

Lang Zhuo felt very comfortable every time he came to the eldest princess's mansion, but he, the biological son of the eldest princess, was afraid of being scolded if he accidentally offended others.

The eldest princess's closeness to Lang Zhuo and the maidservant's flattery to Lang Zhuo were treatments that he, a parent and son, had never enjoyed before.

When Xiao Xu was sad and angry, he asked Madam Gao, why is this?
But Madam Gao said that because Lang Zhuo was a person valued by His Majesty, and because he was one of his own, the whole family would be strict with him.

How many people do your Majesty value? Lang Zhuo was the only one who often came to visit the princess's residence.

As a person of the same age, Xiao Xu also thought about making friends with the chief minister, but he could not talk to him when he met him often.

To put it bluntly, Lang Zhuo seemed unwilling to pay attention to him.

When he came to Baoding this time, Xiao Xu had never thought of paying a visit to Lang Zhuo. He was suddenly invited. Apart from Xu Beisheng, Xiao Xu could not think of any other reason.

Xiao Xu stretched out his stiff hands on the clay stove and rubbed them. He was taciturn to others, and he was not enthusiastic towards Lang Zhuo. He only said: "I came here with the order of the prince. I am anxious to go back and recover. Your Excellency." If you have something to say, say it.”

Lang Zhuo looked up at him for a moment.

Only then did I realize that the face of the cowardly person in the past turned out to be stern and cold at this moment, without a trace of smile. He was like an unyielding fir standing in the wind and rain, or like a huge stone standing on the top of a cliff, still tough despite the frost, clear and clear. Keep your mind calm and considerate, and stay on the path. This is surprising.

After staring for a long time, Lang Zhuo smiled and pointed at the tea in front of Xiao Xu, "Try it while it's hot. This is Baoding's tea."

Xiao Xu only glanced at the tea and put his hot hands into his sleeves without moving.

Seeing this, Lang Zhuo didn't say anything more, he just said: "The prince is eager to save people and ignores the overall situation. However, the people around him do not persuade him. Instead, they encourage the prince and his highness to come to Baoding, a land of tigers and wolves. If your highness makes a mistake, who can do it?" Take on this important responsibility?”

His hand holding the tea cup tightened a little, "It's not that I blame the young master, I just want to know how the ministers around the prince assist His Highness?"

How could Xiao Xu not hear the hidden spy in his words? He did not hide it and told the truth: "A letter from one of my subordinates was handed to His Highness. His Highness immediately decided to come to rescue Miss Xu Er. It happened that the official was also there. In the palace, His Highness knew that no one would allow him to leave the capital, so he quietly asked his subordinates to accompany him."

"I wish to rescue Miss Xu Er in Runing. I didn't want to find out. She has been kidnapped in Baoding. I am also worried about the safety of His Highness, but His Highness insists on coming, and I dare not disobey."

He raised his hand to Lang Zhuo and said, "If you want to blame me, let me blame Xianguan. I know that I will inevitably be punished by Your Majesty after I return to the capital. It would be better for me to punish you first so that I can feel at ease."

Lang Zhuo sneered in his heart and blamed everything on the prince, but he took it all off himself.

Lang Zhuo frowned and complained: "This is not a matter of blaming the young master. I have sent someone to inform your highness that Miss Xu Er has been rescued and safe, and advised your highness to return to the capital immediately. Why did your highness let the young master come to visit? Your highness has eaten King Leping has suffered a great loss. He doesn’t know the seriousness at such a time! His Highness is the one who deserves the punishment. I really should have kept the memorial in front of His Majesty and properly prosecuted him. I don’t know the seriousness and I have to implicate the young master.”

Xiao Xu raised his eyebrows, his eyes were a little gentle, and he said: "Although I dare not disobey the king's orders, Xiaguan and Miss Xu Er also have a deep friendship, so they should come to visit. The girl has injuries on her face, Xiaguan When I return to the capital, I will also inform the Duke of the country and seek out good doctors to try his best to treat the girl. After all, Miss Xu Er is also the one who cares about His Highness, and she may become the mother of the country in the future."

Deep friendship? His Highness's favorite? Future Mother of the Nation?
Each sentence was more cruel than the last, like a knife stabbing into Lang Zhuo's heart.

Lang Zhuo's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and the sour gas in his heart surged like lava.

He sneered, "This is Baoding. Young Master, please don't dare to say this nonsense. I don't know if Miss Xu Er is your Highness's favorite, but the future mother of the country must be Princess Shengle. King Shengle has promised to send Princess Tuoba to you." Shan has come to Beijing to run for the crown princess, and I have already written a memorial to clarify this matter to Your Majesty. This is a major event between the two countries and cannot be ignored."

The corner of Xiao Xu's lips raised slightly. Lang Zhuo's thoughts were treacherous and difficult to discern. Although he felt that it was inappropriate for the future mother of the country to be from Shengle, Xiao Xu didn't say anything after all.

In the final analysis, who the future mother of the country is has nothing to do with him.

He just raised his eyebrows and sighed: "If the prince takes it seriously, I'm afraid he will be disappointed."

With Lang Zhuo's character, even if this was part of his plot against Sheng Le, Princess Sheng Le would not be able to become the mother of the country, and Miss Xu Er, whom the prince had longed for, would not be able to live in the East Palace.

Lang Zhuo's eyes darkened. He swung the clay tea cup around in his hand and drank the remaining tea in one gulp. The tea was a little cold.

There was no trace of guilt on his brows, but a smile that was natural, "Your Highness is a king. Whether you are getting married or taking a concubine, you must consider the fate of the country. Unlike you and me, who only consider whether you like it or not."

Xiao Xu looked at him in surprise.

Along the way north, Xiao Xun told him a lot of words of trust and praise for Lang Zhuo. He also said that Lang Zhuo allowed Miss Xu to leave the palace so that Miss Xu would not be ostracized and wronged in the palace. When everything was settled, Lang Zhuo would help He directly married Miss Xu Er as the crown princess.

Now, he didn't know whether he should accuse Lang Zhuo of being treacherous or blame the prince for being naive?
