Wu An's cheeks jumped. The little servant just said that the prince was busy tonight. It's not convenient for the butler to produce? His mind tightened, his eyes fixed on the face of the steward Ming.

Butler Ming came over and said in a low voice: "The prince summoned Miss Ruan to the Winter Courtyard tonight."

This is actually true! Wu An screamed inwardly, but nodded clearly on the face, and said carefully: "The old slave really deserves a million to die for, but the old slave really has no choice. The emperor has given his will. Proclaim."

"Well, you can wait a while. Seriously, people in the Ming Palace don't dare to interrupt the prince's rest tonight. It is also frightening to pass on to you. You have to understand, Grandpa Wu."

"Understand, understand." Wu An's words are true. He now feels that Emperor Tianlong is cheating him!

If Bei Mingxuan is really with Ruan Jiujiu, what if it disturbs him? I can't say that his life is going to be confessed, even if he really confessed here, Emperor Tianlong can't save him now.

For an instant, Wu An's brain was sweaty and rushing.

At this time, the steward Ming had left, and he was going to pass on.

Wu An didn't stand in the hall, nor did he dare to sit. He was frightened.

He finally heard the footsteps, and he knelt down in shock: "Old slave, see the prince."

Bei Mingxuan didn't speak, but Wu An, who was leaning over, felt the heavy aura on his body. He didn't even dare to look up, and said with a trembling voice: "The king, prince, the emperor has an decree for you."

"Brother emperor hasn't rested so late?" Bei Mingxuan has always said little, and never asks more. Today, this sentence is rare.

Wu An didn't dare to be surprised by the difference between Bei Mingxuan, because he heard that Bei Mingxuan was annoyed by him to disturb him. What he meant was, don't you know that it is time for rest? How dare to bother!

Wu An was so scared that his soul flew, and he didn't even dare to look up, and said tremblingly: "My lord, the emperor, he..."

"Xuan." Bei Ming Xuanyan was concise and terrified.

In fact, the normal decree should be Bei Mingxuan who got up and salute. He has special decree without kneeling, but he has to get up. Wu An who declared the decree should also be standing, but he didn’t dare, so he became an unprecedented one. A **** kneeling to promote.

"...The emperor has a purpose. In view of the imminent selection of the concubine, which is of great importance, please enter the palace the next day to discuss this."

After reciting the will, Wu An became even more afraid. In fact, Emperor Long of Tian was to find out whether Bei Mingxuan was in the palace and whether it had nothing to do with the disappearance of Zhao Qian’s family, so he let him come. As for the will, it was purely It's an excuse, and it's not reliable at all.

Does calling someone into the palace need to run in the middle of the night?

Wu An felt that his neck was a bit chilly.

At this time, Wu An heard the footsteps and passed from his side, and his whole body trembled with fright.

Could it be that Bei Mingxuan wanted to kill him?

His lips trembled, his body softened, and his whole body fell on the ground, almost crying out "Ming King forgive me".

But in the end he heard the footsteps go away and disappeared, and there is no longer the shocking pressure in this hall.

Wu An slowly raised his head, no one in front of him! I slid around again, and there was no one, and then turned around, and the back was empty.

King Ming is gone!

Wu An suddenly took a breath, feeling collapsed.

He just experienced life and death.

Suddenly there was footsteps again, and Wu An was so frightened and hurried to kneel, but heard the voice of the butler Ming: "Oh, Lord Wu, why are you still kneeling here?"

"It turned out to be Steward Ming." Wu An raised her head and made sure that the old face of Steward Ming was in front of him. He immediately felt relieved, "Master, did he go to rest?"

The steward Ming nodded and said, "I'm here to send the father-in-law out of the house."

Wu An got up, wiped the sweat from his head, and was not polite: "Well, thank you butler."

"What's the matter with Grandpa Wu? He looks very empty. Come, let me help you." The housekeeper Ming came up to hold Wu An's arm.

Wu An was really grateful to butler Ming for this meeting, because his legs were really weak and he was afraid he would fall.

King Ming's momentum is simply amazing. Well, especially at this time, he can survive. Thank God.

The steward Ming sent Wu An to the door, watched him leave, and said to the attendants behind him: "Go back and tell the prince that Wu An is gone, and he should go directly to the palace."

"Yes." The attendant responded, turned and left.

In the winter courtyard, Ruan Jiujiu raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Bei Mingxuan.

"Duke Wu is gone, what is he doing?"

Bei Mingxuan didn't even look at her, only said: "Because of the selection of the concubine."

Ruan Jiujiu was stunned, but bowed his eyebrows and smiled: "This is still a good thing."

"Good thing?" Bei Mingxuan turned his eyes to look at her, raising his eyebrows coldly, "Where is the good thing?"

Ruan Jiujiu said seriously: "Of course it is a good thing. Choosing a concubine means choosing a princess for you. Is it bad for you to get married? Isn't this a happy event?"

Bei Mingxuan's eyes deepened.

Ruan Jiujiu continued: "But, the emperor, he came to the door with the selection of the concubine in the middle of the night. It is certainly not without a target. Lord, you really have to prepare. Aren’t all the princesses from North Vietnam coming, I guess. We went to Ruan City, and this time, the selection of the concubine is almost ready to begin."

She looked at Bei Mingxuan very seriously.

"Master, Jiujiu sincerely wishes you a good girl."

Bei Mingxuan's eyes flashed, and his gaze cast a look at her.

"I'm afraid this king won't have that good life."

scare? Not so confident?

Ruan Jiujiu shook his head: "No, you see your identity is placed here, you look so good-looking, and good girls aren't going for it?"

"Of course there are many good girls, but what if this king blindly sees a bad one?"

"This..." Ruan Jiujiu is a little puzzled. As the saying goes, radish and greens have their own loves. When others look good, they just don't like the bad ones. There is no way.

But is Bei Mingxuan's taste so bad? Will he fall in love with a bad girl?

Ruan Jiujiu expressed doubts, so she looked at Bei Mingxuan suspiciously, and Bei Mingxuan was also looking at her.

Ruan Jiujiu suddenly felt a bitter cold under his eyes. What she was about to say, Bei Mingxuan said: "This king is indeed blind."

Ruan Jiujiu: "..."

Bei Mingxuan said: "Go back to your yard, this king is going to rest."

cut! Ruan Jiujiu got up, glared at Bei Mingxuan, who had suddenly changed his face, and turned away.

Ruan Jiujiu returned to her summer house. There were four maids standing in the summer house. They were all in the summer house. They followed Ming Yuer to serve her, but Ming Yuer was too dedicated, so she even named these four girls. Did not remember clearly.

"girl."

The four maids saluted her together.

Ruan Jiujiu looked at them and asked, "What are your names?"

The four maids were obviously injured.

"The four slaves and maids are called Xing'er, Yue'er, Ming'er, Xi'er."

Moon star is rare? The name is really random.

Ruan Jiujiu also waved his hand casually and said, "Xing'er Yueer, come and serve me, Ming'er, Xi'er, you two are staring at the winter courtyard."

Tomorrow, Xi'er was stunned for a while, but immediately accepted and understood, and solemnly stated: "Girl, rest assured, the slaves must be watching."

Ruan Jiujiu raised her eyebrows, she let her stare, just wondering what Bei Mingxuan did roughly so that she could keep up with his rhythm, these two girls would be wrong.

But it doesn't matter, just stare at it anyway.

She nodded, then walked inside and ran in the middle of the night. She was already exhausted.

Ruan Jiujiu fell asleep until the sun rose the next day, and Xingeryue served her to dress and change clothes.

Xing'er said: "Girl, Ming'er and Xi'er have something to report to the girl, and they are still waiting outside."

Could it be that Bei Mingxuan did what?

"Tell them to come in quickly."

Ming'er and Xi'er came in soon, and Ming'er stepped forward and said, "Girl, the prince entered the palace at Chenshi."

Ruan Jiujiu raised his eyebrows: "That's it?"

Xi'er also said: "More than that, girl, the prince hasn't come back until now. The slave and maid heard that someone entered the palace and tripped the prince."

Now Ruan Jiujiu raised his eyebrows.

Is there anyone who can stumble Bei Mingxuan?

"who is it?"

"The maidservant is not clear about the details. I heard that people from Tanglin and Nanliang also entered the palace early this morning. The maidservant guessed it was the princesses of Dongling and Nanliang."

Ruan Jiujiu was even more dizzy. She just told these girls to stare at the winter courtyard. They were so **** to hear so much.

But Tanglin and Nanliang? She is really not familiar with the geography here, but she also knows that these two places are the same as North Vietnam and are neighboring countries of Tiansheng. Their national power is much smaller than that of North Vietnam and Tiansheng. Every year they pay tribute to Tiansheng. Will reward them or something.

It's a bit like a country of subordination, but the two countries, including North Vietnam, are not in peace, so they are both a subordinate country and an enemy country, which is very complicated.

Xuanyuancheng brought the princess to choose the concubine of Beiyue this time, so Dongling and Nanliang must have come this time because of this. It's just that the people from North Vietnam shouldn't arrive in Beijing yet, but Nanliang and Dongling have arrived first?

"Are you sure that the prince did not come back because of Nanliang and Dongling talents?"

Ruan Jiujiu asked suspiciously, it was not that she was suspicious, but that Bei Mingxuan was too weird. He would not be merciful to men, and he had never been merciful to women. Just look at her. If they are from Nanliang and Dongling, they must be the beauty they brought to choose the concubine.

This time Xi'er nodded affirmatively: "It must be." Then she raised her face and asked seriously, "Girl, what shall we do now?"

"What should I do?" Ruan Jiujiu was surprised.

Xi'er said more seriously: "Those little, mean, people entangle the prince, you have to find a way to clean them up, and let them know who the prince belongs to!"
