The news that Duanmu Lerong was assassinated could not be concealed in the imperial capital.

As soon as the news came out, everyone sat in the restaurant and teased the prince's concubine, and the contempt in her words was unconcealed.

Several people at Duanmu's house were sitting in the corner. When they heard the news that had just arrived, their faces changed slightly.

At this time, Duanmu Lerong sat in a soft chair with a pale face.

The birthday party in the palace has been missed, so I can only look for an opportunity to go to the palace later. Many people in the Duanmu family were injured to save her. Duanmu Lerong blamed herself for two big slaps.

"The person is fine, Xinglan, you send Lerong back to the prince's mansion."

Duanmu Xiuyuan walked out and the people outside immediately stood up.

Especially Duanmu Lerong, he looked at him in a daze and immediately said when he heard his words: "Uncle, I can go back by myself, and my third brother was also injured..."

"Xinglan's injury is small. If someone finds an opportunity to kill you halfway, your prince's concubine will cause great noise."

Duanmu Xiuyuan waved his hand.

Duanju Xinglan took several people from home to protect Duanmu Lerong and left.

After returning to the Prince's Mansion safely, Duanmu Lerong had just got off the carriage, and the servants in the Prince's Mansion ran out. Seeing that Duanju Xinglan and the others were escorting the person back, they quickly invited the person in.

As soon as Duanju Xinglan refused, the housekeeper said, "It is our prince who wants to say a few words to the Duanmu family."

The few people who sent people over were also led by Duanju Xinglan.

The butler looked directly at Duanju Xinglan.

"Third brother."

Duanmu Lerong knew that Duanju Xinglan did not want to intervene in Dongqi's battle for the throne, but now he could not refuse the prince.

"Then please ask the butler to lead the way."

"please."

The prince has recovered from his injuries and is sitting in the imperial chaise longue and watching Duanju Xinglan coming in.

He smiled and waved his hand, "Please."

"Greetings to the Crown Prince."

"It's all my family, so there's no need to be too polite."

The prince smiled very brightly and looked much more approachable.

Duanju Xinglan did not dare to underestimate anyone from Dongqi, especially the royal family.

By the way.

"Thank you, Prince."

"I am very ashamed of what happened today. If I noticed something was wrong earlier, I could send someone to rescue me."

Duanju Xinglan glanced at the prince lightly and said, "Your Highness the Prince cannot predict what is about to happen, and such an accident is inevitable. Our Duanmu family is protected by our Duanmu family. Your Highness the Prince is still injured, so it is not advisable to be very moved. The Duanmu family can understand it."

Has the prince guessed that such a thing would happen long ago, and even knew something, then ask himself?

The other party did not send someone to rescue him, which was enough to show Duanmu Lerong's position in the prince's heart.

When the prince heard his words, he knew that Duanju Xinglan was not satisfied with the reaction of the Prince's Mansion. The prince narrowed his eyes slightly, "The Duanmu family can set their feet in Dongqi, and it still needs some promotion. I also hope that the Duanmu family can become a member of Dongqi and live here forever."

Your Duanmu family also needs him as the prince to consolidate his position and gain a firm foothold.

Duanju Xinglan but smiled without saying a word.

The prince said again: "I wonder if I can ask Brother Xinglan to tell the Duanmu clan leader?"

"Please speak with your throne!"

"I want to discuss something with the Duanmu clan leader in person."

"If the prince's words are said, Duanju Xinglan will tell the clan leader," Duanju Xinglan looked up at the night and said, "It's getting late, so I'll say goodbye first."

The prince asked the housekeeper to send the person out.

...

Back at his residence, Duanju Xinglan entered Duanmu Xiuyuan's house and told all the words the prince wanted to convey.

Duanmu Fangkong, who was sitting in the chair, spoke first: "The prince is trying to win over."

"Even if the prince doesn't open this mouth, our Duanmu family has already stood in the prince's sect by default," the old man sitting in front sighed and asked Duan Ju Xinglan, "What did Lerong say?"

Duan Ju Xinglan shook his head.

"What do you mean now? Should you meet or not?"

If the prince wants to see Duanmu Xiuyuan, he has to discuss and come up with a result.

Whether you see each other or not, you have to reply.

When they meet, how do they need to answer the prince's words?

They could guess what the prince would say, but they didn't know how to choose.

The Duanmu family has too many taboos, especially in Dongqi, where there are even more taboos.

"The prince always has to meet again," Duanmu Xiuyuan spoke, "If several elders have something else..."

Before Duanmu Xiuyuan could say far, the old man in the lead waved his hand: "You have your own ideas for these things, and whether to make a decision, you will give me a message afterwards."

"yes."

Duanmu Xiuyuan asked Duanju Xinglan to send several elders back to the house to rest, while they stayed here to discuss the follow-up matters.

Soon, someone asked Duanmu Lerong to send a message and asked her to inform the prince of their Duanmu family's decision.

When the prince heard such news from Duanmu Lerong, his eyes looked a little different when he saw Duanmu Lerong.

"If you stay in the mansion in the future, I will never treat you badly."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"come over!"

The prince was in a good mood, and he also felt much more pleasing to Duanmu Lerong.

Duanmu Lerong lowered his eyes and walked to the front with a shy face. His hands were slightly stiffened when the prince was held tightly, and then slowly softened his body and leaned towards the prince.

The prince smiled and pulled the person onto him...

...

When the Duanmu family entered and left the Prince's Mansion, Chu Ji's people came to report the next day.

Chu Qi, who lowered his eyes and leaned against the chair, was pondering.

The atmosphere in the side hall was a little quiet.

Song Yanlin said, "Prince, our people are chasing Qin Wei and others, and it is difficult to distract themselves from dealing with the Duanmu family. If the Duanmu family is really angry with the prince and enter the court of Dongqi again in the future, we will be very passive."

The situation is getting tricky now.

"Before that, we must also stop the Duanmu family."

Chu Qi raised his eyes and said in a low voice.

"What does the prince mean to attack?"

"Find an opportunity to deliver a call to Duanmu Xiuyuan."

"The prince is going to see them? If he could convince him, he would have retreated long ago, and he would not have waited until this time."

Besides, we have already said a truce last time, and if there is a sudden conflict between the two sides, it will become even worse!

"Chenjiu, go do this."

"yes!"

No need for letters, just pass on the message orally.

"Have you received these messages?"

"I'm afraid I know a little," Hua Xieying was not a fool. On the contrary, he was still very smart and capable.

Chu Qi brushed his clothes and stood up and said, "Look at him secretly."

What happened in the palace yesterday. Today he wanted to go to the palace to ask for an explanation. This was also the promise made by Emperor Dongqi before they left yesterday.

Mu Jinghong got off for lunch and learned that Chu Ji had entered the palace. He did not accompany Hua Xieying, nor did he ask more questions.

What happened yesterday should always be explained.

Gao Ying came here to accompany Mu Jinghong as usual.

The days passed day by day, and more than half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

Mu Jinghong's spirit is getting worse and worse, because he is pregnant, he is a little troublesome.

My body was not good at all, but after such trouble, I lost weight.

Fortunately, Song Yanlin is here, so she is protected.
