In the past two or three years, he has been staying with Xiao Lingyan. He really doesn't know how this man got to know Miss Zhao. It seems that the two people suddenly developed a deep love for life and death without seeing each other very often. This is really true for Xu Zhou.

It's something I can't understand.

But that's not important. What's important is that he knows that Xiao Lingyan values ​​Zhao Ruxi very much. Whenever anything involves her, he will be in chaos, just like now.

People say, ‘Concern leads to chaos’, and it is indeed a wise saying!

"But I think the prince has imagined the matter too seriously," he said.

Xiao Lingyan stopped the wine glass in his hand and looked at Xu Zhou: "How do you say this?"

"Of course, your marriage to Miss Zhao will increase our side's power in winning the heir. But after all, Mr. Kumu's faction is not very powerful. There are only a few people, and it will not have much impact on the entire situation. Furthermore, the master-disciple relationship,

The relationship between brothers and sisters is not a blood relationship, and just because Miss Zhao marries you, it does not mean that Wu Huaisi, Gong Cheng and others will turn to us and become members of our faction."

"On the other hand, the Emperor attaches great importance to Mr. Kumu and Miss Zhao. If someone goes against her, the Emperor will definitely be furious. He will make a heavy mark in his heart for this person, and even directly kick him out of the line of succession candidates.

.It is not good for Miss Zhao. The effect of damaging the enemy is not obvious, but the consequences are too serious. Do you think the prince and others will do such a stupid thing?"

"So, in the final analysis, you take Miss Zhao too seriously."

Xiao Lingyan frowned: "You mean, the danger I brought to her after the engagement was actually not as serious as I thought, right?"

Seeing that Xiao Lingyan finally understood what he meant, Xu Zhou nodded happily: "Yes."

"But there's still danger, right?"

Xu Zhou: "..."

He doesn't want to talk to the love brain.

"I can't bear even a little bit of danger." Xiao Lingyan shook his head, "You don't know what she means to me."

Xu Zhou: "..." He doesn't want to know, thank you.

"But Your Majesty, as long as you have this status and as long as she has something to do with you, there will be danger. Unless you let her go and let her marry someone else, the danger will always exist. If you can't let go, then we need to

What we consider is how to reduce risks, rather than fantasizing about problems that don’t exist.”

This time it was Xiao Lingyan's turn to be speechless.

"Okay then. Let's discuss how to reduce risks." Xiao Lingyan sighed.

It is impossible to let go, not in this life. From the previous life to this life, he finally caught up with her, but in the end he asked her to marry someone else. He might as well just buy a piece of tofu and kill her.

In fact, there was another way that Xu Zhou did not mention that would not bring danger to Zhao Ruxi, and that was to give up his identity as a prince.

If he was not a prince and did not participate in the heir apparent, then this risk would be gone.

Xu Zhou didn't say anything, probably because he was worried that he would really abandon this identity and run away to get rid of all this.

But even though he is a love brain now, he also knows that this identity is not something he can throw away if he wants. As long as he is Xiao Ge's son, and he has what the ancients said is the dragon's blood in his body, then he can't get rid of it no matter what.

The fate of seizing the throne. Those who are worried that he will seize the throne will not allow him to live in this world. Losing this identity will make him and Zhao Ruxi even more dangerous.

So there is no use in escaping, you can only face it.

Xu Zhou stretched out a finger and said: "First, you go to the emperor immediately and ask for a marriage. As long as the emperor grants you a marriage, Miss Zhao's identity as a princess has been determined, and she has been approved by the emperor, those people will not

You dare to act rashly."

Xiao Lingyan nodded.

Although her status as a princess may bring her danger, it is also a talisman.

"The second is to seek asylum from the emperor as the imperial concubine said. But it is not you or the imperial concubine who will seek refuge, but Mr. Kumu."

Xu Zhou looked at Xiao Lingyan: "So the engagement procedure should be that you go and explain to the emperor that you admire Miss Zhao's talents and want to marry Miss Zhao. The emperor went to propose to Mr. Kumu, but Mr. Kumu did not agree; the emperor asked again,

Mr. Kumu couldn't refuse, so he finally agreed to the marriage, but made a request that the emperor guarantee Miss Zhao's safety. In this way, Miss Zhao's safety will be guaranteed to a certain extent."

He showed a smile that looked like a good show: "How to make the emperor willing to propose marriage for you again and again depends on your performance, my lord."

The corner of Xiao Lingyan's mouth curled up with a complacent expression: "Don't worry about this, I will certainly live up to your high expectations."

After getting along for the past two years, his relationship with Xiao Ge has greatly improved. Putting aside the entanglements of royal interests, Xiao Ge is actually a good father. He can feel his true love for his son.

Xiao Ge was also very anxious and angry about his marriage. Now that he likes a girl, and she is a girl that Xiao Ge himself admires very much, I think he will only be happy and will not stop her.

In the past, he might have suppressed them for Xiao Lingheng. But after the battle last winter, Xiao Lingheng's impression in Xiao Ge's heart was greatly reduced. Xiao Ge would never let him, a man who had no ambition for the throne, have a happy marriage for Xiao Lingheng now.

nothing.

If Zhao Ruxi didn't marry him, the person she would marry might be the prince or someone from Xiao Lingheng's faction, which would cause even more headaches for Xiao Ge. If she married him, he believed that Xiao Ge would be happy to see it happen.

"But..." Xu Zhou suppressed his smile and said seriously, "Although with the emperor's protection, Miss Zhao's danger has been reduced, the danger still exists. The other factions will not watch our faction go smoothly and always make trouble.

Something happened."

The smile at the corner of Xiao Lingyan's mouth disappeared.

"So, Your Majesty, you put your most beloved girl in danger, but only to increase the bargaining chip for His Royal Highness Prince An to win the throne. Don't you feel aggrieved? You two have sacrificed so much, and in the end, Prince An ascended the throne and became suspicious of you.

How do you deal with it? He needs your help now, so he is good to you; but what about in the future?"

"My lord, people will change. So I think that instead of making wedding clothes for others, it is better to find a way to get into that position myself."

Xiao Lingyan glanced at Xu Zhou expressionlessly.

Xu Zhou was good at everything, but he was tempted to become emperor every day instead of giving the opportunity to Xiao Lingpu.

"Let's talk about this later," he said, sighing secretly in his heart.

He doesn't want to be an emperor. He just wants to be an idle king. After eating and drinking, he can do some industrial revolution with his daughter-in-law. Life is short, why do you work so hard all day long?

But after Xiao Lingpu came back from the border and found that his father was more and more fond of his Xiao Wu, Xiao Lingyan felt that his brother had gradually changed.

What anyone else has is not as good as what he has. He understands this truth. But he is really unwilling to ask him to work hard and work hard after seizing the throne.
