"I have no reason to say this?" Chu Junlan raised his delicate chin.

Xiao Xu lowered his head and looked at her softly. Her stubborn look reminded him of the same cuteness when Xiao Guai looked up at him, which made people want to touch his head.

When Xiao Xu reacted, his hand had already fallen on her head and rubbed it.

Chu Junlan widened his eyes and sorted out his messed bangs in disbelief, "What are you doing?" His voice was soft and soft, without any threat.

Xiao Xu couldn't help but smile again.

When he smiled, there were lying silkworms at the moment, his eyes shining in the room where Diane had never been waiting for him, and he was very clean and young. Chu Junlan found that his face was a little hot, and he opened his eyes uneasy, turned around and led him to sit down on the warm kang by the window.

"I didn't see you changing into your white clothes when I climbed through the window in the middle of the night."

"Yes, the Duke's Mansion is strictly guarded, not as before." After changing the place, he could no longer climb over the wall by randomly thinking about climbing over the wall.

Thinking of him coming to be a thief, with a serious face tense, he was walking on the eaves and walking on the wall like a thief, Chu Junlan was amused again.

"Let me see your pulse. I'm almost finished the medicine I sent two days ago?" Chu Junlan signaled him to stretch out his hand.

"Yeah, there's one left."

Chu Junlan lowered his eyes and examined his hands and smiled relaxedly.

"It's not bad. It's stable at the moment. You can continue to take the medicine. I will go back and let Zi Yan give it to you after I'm ready."

"Okay." Xiao Xu's eyes were soft, "Your home..."

"It was indeed affected," Chu Junlan asked with a smile, "Your father was fined and his salary was closed at home to think about his mistakes. What is the situation at home?"

"Fortunately," Xiao Xu felt that his answer was too simple, and added, "He did it on purpose, so he was not worried. He planted flowers in the warm-up room, which was very leisurely, but your father..."

"My father did it on purpose, but he probably didn't expect that he would be impeached like this," Chu Junlan smacked his tongue, "How many enemies he has made have made."

"It's not all because of making enemies," Xiao Xu whispered, "This is what happened in the court. If there are foreign enemies, the court officials will naturally be united in the same way as the outside world. Once the foreign enemies leave, everyone has their own little one in their hearts. In the years of peace and prosperity, the conflict between civil officials and military generals has become increasingly fierce. The emperor values ​​civil officials more. This is an indisputable fact."

"Tsk, it's rare that our prince said so much in one breath."

Chu Junlan stood up and grabbed a honey-colored brocade cloak and put it on it. The satin surface reflected a faint layer of soft light in the darkness.

In the darkness, Xiao Xu looked at Chu Junlan's bright eyes and felt like he was pressed on the back of his hand by a kitten's soft flesh pad, and his heart softened.

“I’m not not talking.”

"Yes, our prince just doesn't like to say useless nonsense. You are still very good at speaking when necessary."

Xiao Xu nodded, then shook his head: "It's not all."

"What?" Chu Junlan didn't understand what Xiao Xu meant for a moment.

"It's up to anyone to talk to you, and nothing you say is nonsense." Xiao Xu lowered his head in a bit unscrupulous.

Chu Junlan was stunned for a while, then couldn't help but raise his lips: "The prince's mouth is so sweet, where did he learn it? Hum?"

Xiao Xu's face turned red, but fortunately the darkness hid the embarrassment for him: "It's nothing, this is the truth." He blinked and forced the topic to change the subject: "If something happens to your family, there will definitely be someone who will gossip behind your back. If you say anything will affect our marriage, don't take it to your heart. I have promised you that the media will marry you in a big sedan chair, and you will not go back on your word."

He lowered his voice, and his magnetic voice was particularly touching when it was late at night. Chu Junlan's heart moved slightly, and his cheeks couldn't help but turn red.

"I know. Besides, things won't be that way. No matter what, it's not good to change things that have been decided every day. The emperor has already asked me to change a family in order to give me a status worthy of your family. Your father wouldn't be able to slap the emperor in the face, right?"

Xiao Xu smiled when he heard this: "Yes."

But even though that was the case, both of them knew that at this time, the opinions of the parties involved were not the most important, and the influence of external forces would be greater. However, Chu Junlan had a good idea in his heart, and Xiao Xu also thought about solving this matter secretly and could no longer put pressure on Chu Junlan. The two of them understood each other and did not mention it.

Xiao Xu didn't dare to stay for too long and left quickly. However, Chu Junlan didn't sleep all night and sat cross-legged all night. By dawn, some thoughts had already taken shape in his mind.

In the next two days, Chu Junlan still only treated his uncle, and asked Zi Yan to go to the palace and gave Xiao Xu medicine.

The atmosphere in the mansion became more and more depressing. The originally warm and happy home now seems to be over the city with a knife hanging above the head.

When I greeted my family early in the morning, the old lady said earnestly to the whole family: "Now the family is a special period. I believe everyone knows the specific situation. I won't say much. Now, someone is trying to make plans for our family. When the Duke of the State was young, our family survived so many storms, and this time it was the same."

The old lady's voice was slow and firm, calm and calm, and calm, making people feel at ease: "You are all relaxed. You don't go out these days and do whatever you should do. I heard someone say that the East Factory of the Jinyiwei is going to search the house at home? To be honest, even if you really come, you won't be afraid of what you are like. There is the emperor above your head, and even if they really plan, they have to take into account the emperor's ideas."

After saying this, everyone has really settled a lot.

But this peace of mind is also short-lived.

Chu Junlan returned to the room, and just picked up the embroidery needle and sewed it two stitches, a maid outside said back and forth: "Miss Lan, the prince asked you to go to the study in the outer courtyard."

"My father? Are you going now?" Chu Junlan put down the embroidery bandage in surprise.

“Yes, that’s now.”

Chu Junlan stood up in confusion and took Nuomin and Zi Yan to the outer courtyard together.

There was only Chu Hua in the study room, and the easy-going maids around him had been sent away, so Chu Junlan also left Zi Yan and Nuomin outside.

"Father, do you have any instructions?" Chu Junlan saluted respectfully.

Chu Hua smiled, pointed to the ring chair next to the warm kang next to the window and laid the official green mattress and said, "Sit down and talk."

"Yes, thank you father." Chu Junlan sat down in the ring chair, just waiting to listen to the instructions.

Chu Hua thought for a while and said, "Sister Lan, I actually came to you today to discuss your marriage."

Chu Junlan looked up and looked calm.

Chu Hua said: "The situation in the court is getting more and more nervous now. I am afraid that the charge of treason will fall on me soon. Taking advantage of the fact that the family is not in turmoil, I might as well discuss with King Gong Ding first and deal with your marriage with Prince Gong Ding before the New Year."

Chu Junlan was shocked. She thought about whether Chu Hua would sacrifice her marriage, but she never thought that Chu Hua would think about considering her future for her before she was convicted.
