Without waiting for the answer, Xiao Xu stopped the mule cart slowly. The servant whispered outside the mule cart: "Go back to the third lady, you have arrived at the side door of the living yard."

Chu Junlan lifted the curtain of the car and said, "Let's talk at home."

Her words made Xiao Xu look good again.

"good."

Chu Junlan looked at Xiao Xu's bright smiling face strangely, and was still a little confused for a moment.

Did she say anything funny?

The two got out of the mule cart, and the driver rushed back to the main courtyard. Zi Yan heard the movement and came to open the door. Chu Junlan asked in front, "How is my elder brother?"

"The eldest young master has subsided and he is still sleeping."

Chu Junlan felt a little relieved, turned around and smiled at Xiao Xu, "I'll go see my elder brother first."

"I'll go with you."

The two went to the bedroom together. Baole was sitting on the footsteps beside the bed. Hearing the footsteps turned around and seeing Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu coming side by side, he hurriedly stood up: "Criminal, the third lady."

Xiao Xu nodded slightly and looked up at the edge of the bed. He saw Chu Huating's hair was loose, his face was pale, and he was sleeping with his eyes closed. The thin quilt covered his shoulders. He could see his snow-white collar slightly open.

Chu Junlan checked Chu Huating and confirmed that he was fine. He also gave him acupuncture and changed the medicine. He worked hard for half an hour before he finished.

Xiao Xu did not urge him. When Chu Junlan was concentrating on his actions, Zi Yan surrounded him and brought him a hand, but he refused to sit down, just standing not far behind Chu Junlan.

"Speaking of it, I want to thank you." Chu Junlan turned around and smiled brightly with Xiao Xu, "I heard Li Qianhu say that. I know that I can ask him to bring me a message. You have squandered a lot of effort."

Xiao Xu smiled and shook his head: "No."

"No matter what you say, I want to thank you."

"No need." After Xiao Xu said, his lips moved again.

If you know how to do things, you should take the opportunity to show your loyalty, at least say "I am willing to do anything for you, and I don't need to thank you." But Xiao Xu couldn't say anything, even though he really thought so.

Seeing that he was silent, Chu Junlan knew that he didn't care about his character, and said cheerfully: "No matter what, I'll write down this kindness."

She looked at the sleepy Chu Huting again, and then said, "Let's go to my room and talk, so that my elder brother can sleep with peace of mind."

Xiao Xu nodded, the two of them stood up, and went to the room where Chu Junlan lived.

They wanted to say serious things and were very open-minded, but Baole and Zi Yan looked at each other and squeezed each other.

Baole whispered, "Why don't you go and serve me?"

"I won't go. The prince and the lady are doing well. What should I get involved with?"

"Silly, you're going because they're good."

Zi Yan snorted, her face turned red and said, "Just just serve the eldest young master well, I don't care about our lady's affairs."

Baole rolled her eyes so much that she was so angry that she rolled her eyes wide, glared at Zi Yan and went to work on her own.

Zi Yan thought to herself: Not to mention anything else, even if the lady is treating the prince, even if she has a frank meeting, what can I prevent now? Besides, the lady has his own sense of behavior and the prince is also a gentleman. Their marriage is approaching, so it is her turn to worry about it, a little girl?

In Chu Junlan's room, the two sat at the Eight Immortals table outside. Chu Junlan poured a cup of tea for Xiao Xu. Xiao Xu took a sip, held the tea cup and lowered his eyes and asked, "The emperor was so provoked by the people of Beiyuan. If it were you, what would you make a choice?"

Chu Junlan chuckled: "How dare I compare myself so much? But if it were me..."

She couldn't help but calm down, thought for a while, and said slowly, "If it's just my own business and I'm bullied to the point of being bullied, I'd rather be angry than be broken. But if things are not just my own business, my choices will affect other people, and I can't be presumptuous and need to be cautious."

The more he thoughts became more and more smooth. Chu Junlan analyzed: "Can the Northern Yuan Dynasty soldiers 150,000 soldiers be fought. Can Da Yong resist?"

"Of course, it can."

"Yes, but although it can resist, it is a waste of money," Chu Junlan smiled. "I don't know what Borno thought. He has the ability to have 150,000 yuan on the border between the two countries, but he doesn't want to seek some practical benefits. What is the use of a title of "Grassland Co-lord"? No matter what title it is, only the benefits that can really be captured in his hands are really affordable. Just provoking Dayong for a false reputation, is he afraid that he has a water in his mind?"

Xiao Xu was so funny that she smiled again by her playful statement.

Chu Junlan's thinking became clearer and clearer.

"So, Yu Dayong said that even if he was given a title, he would only suffer a little loss in face. In fact, he could send Borno happily brought his troops back to the Northern Yuan Dynasty without paying anything.

"The Northern Yuan Dynasty was composed of multiple tribes. When they were divided into two parts, they were composed of dozens of tribes in the east and west. Borno was under the title of "God-Master of the Grassland". Not only did he not get any benefits, but he would also become the target of the other tribe leaders. He just said the words "Come and Kill" on his forehead. Isn't it good to just let them go back and watch Borno fight with his subordinates in the internal battle?

"At that time, whether their subordinates are 150,000 or 1.5 million, they will become consumables for internal fighting. By the time they distinguished themselves, they would have been vulnerable. However, Da Yong lost some face except the emperor, and he had lost nothing."

As soon as Chu Junlan looked up, he met Xiao Xu's gentle eyes and looked at her with a complicated look.

Chu Junlan couldn't help but touch his cheek: "Am I wrong?"

Xiao Xu smiled: "You are very smart. Not bad, as you said. No matter the emperor or the courtiers, everyone will be stupid enough to send troops to suppress the Northern Yuan Dynasty. It will cost the people and make money, and it will not be worth the loss. My father is the emperor's confidant. Sometimes, for the emperor's decency, you have to make some necessary sacrifices. Your Chu family is the in-laws of the Gongding Palace, and then something big happened. I think if someone wants to deal with Gongding Palace, it will make things difficult for your family first."

It is hard for Xiao Xu to say so much. Chu Junlan listened to his low magnetic voice and thought for a moment and said: "It turns out that King Gong is the emperor's loyalty."

Xiao Xu's eyes became more and more applauded: "Yes."

What else did Chu Junlan not understand at this time?

The emperor needs a natural reason to make a decision, and the decision he makes will hurt his face. At this time, someone must set up a ladder for him.

The emperor's mind is to check and balance. If there are smart people in the court and the court officials are one-sided in harmony, wouldn't it seem that the emperor is useless?

Therefore, the King of Congratulations must be the emperor's confidant and the person responsible for setting up the ladder.

To put it bluntly, the king of tributes will definitely lead people to sing against the lords and be a villain. When he waits for him to arouse the anger of the court officials, the emperor will refute him again, and then he will be issued a natural order.

"It's really sinister." Chu Junlan smacked his tongue, "I'm such a stupid brain, but I can't play with these things."

Xiao Xu couldn't help but lit up her forehead, "You are not stupid, you are just disdainful."

Chu Junlan was stunned, touched his forehead, and looked up at Xiao Xu.

Xiao Xu was only realized what he had done when she looked at her bright eyes. When he touched the fingertips of her skin, he felt like a fire was igniting. He quickly clenched his fists, hid his hands behind his back, lowered his head and said, "Anyway, you have to be careful."
