Chapter 10: The Emperor and His Ministers Have Already Met with the Right Time (10)

The knife tip approached, but Luo Xiuyuan retracted it when it was still one foot away from Shen Minghuan's eyebrows.

Luo Xiuyuan put his knife-holding hand behind his back, his expression becoming more helpless: "You... at least hide for a while."

With an uncle who is highly skilled in martial arts and a teacher who is not well-known, Luo Xiuyuan has learned a few moves.

Shen Minghuan stretched lazily, "It's just a boring and uninteresting test. Respected Crown Prince, have you come to any conclusion?"

"We have known each other for twenty years, and I never knew you learned martial arts." Luo Xiuyuan pushed the cut fruit platter on the table to the other party's position.

Shen Minghuan picked up the silver fork next to him and answered while eating: "What's the matter? We have known each other for twenty years, and I didn't know Ying Zui Lou either?"

Luo Xiuyuan looked up in disbelief, and said in a bitter tone: "When did you know it?"

"A few days ago, I forgot."

Luo Xiuyuan looked at him steadily for a while and sat down opposite him.

Chang Mao scratched his head in confusion, realizing that he might have misunderstood. He looked at the threatening Shen An he had grabbed, and hesitantly let go.

Shen An escaped from the clutches, stepped on Chang Mao angrily, then ran quickly to his own master, staring at Luo Xiuyuan vigilantly.

He didn't understand what was testing or not, he only saw Luo Xiuyuan pointing a knife at Shen Minghuan!

Luo Xiuyuan was a little absent-minded, and didn't notice Shen An for a while.

He was a little dazed: "Ming... maybe you are right."

Shen Minghuan raised his eyebrows, "Of course I am right."

Although he didn't know what Luo Xiuyuan was referring to, even if the world was wrong, he, Shen Minghuan, couldn't be wrong.

"Without my father's promise, I really can't become the prince by myself." Luo Xiuyuan laughed at himself.

During the time when he was abolished as the Spirit King, he did a lot and made a lot of arrangements. He was confident in his ability, so he once believed that he could do it.

But he did so much, it seemed that he could only save his life.

——It is such a natural thing for people to live, but he has to work hard to get a chance of survival.

Shen Minghuan nodded in agreement and comforted him kindly: "It's okay, you can still not be the crown prince."

What a lie! Chang Mao glared at him.

Luo Xiuyuan looked at him with amusement, with a bit of seriousness in his playfulness, "This is also a way, but if I don't become the crown prince, I might die."

Shen Minghuan glanced at him and said nothing.

"Scared you? But I'm not lying. A general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of people. The fight for the throne... The bones under the dragon throne are no less than those under the general's sword."

So Minghuan, my most cherished friend, while there is still a way out, please stay away from this storm, the farther the better.

Shen Minghuan frowned, "Do you think I'm afraid?"

"I don't mean to underestimate you." Luo Xiuyuan explained, "Although you are smart, there are some things you haven't experienced. You don't understand that some knives hidden in the dark can even be decorated as jade flowers and leaves."

"Heh." Shen Minghuan sneered.

The system covered its eyes in the consciousness space, unable to bear to watch any more.

My silly boy, do you know how much palace intrigue Shen Minghuan has blocked for you during this period of time? How could he not understand?

The sound of horse hooves approached.

The path where the farewell pavilion is located is too narrow to accommodate too many people.

Although the generalissimo of the army only brought a few hundred guards, he still ceremoniously let the "army" set off from the spacious official road, and brought Lu Ren to the small pavilion to pick up people.

The system sounded the alarm and solemnly reminded Shen Minghuan: [Host, the second prince is here. In front of my good boy, you should restrain yourself a little. ]

Don't show your dislike for the Second Prince so obviously, or even a fool can see the problem. If this good kid doubts, wouldn't this character be completely destroyed?

[Don't worry.] Shen Minghuan is full of confidence.

Although he always likes to go against the system, he will definitely do well in what he promised.

Luo Xiuqi saw Luo Xiuyuan's figure from afar. He was obviously down and out, and even the clothes he wore were very plain, but he still couldn't help but feel amazed at the first sight of him.

Standing like a jade tree, smiling like a bright moon in his arms.

Luo Xiuqi noticed his momentary trance, and a hint of sinisterness flashed across his eyes.

When he got off the horse, he had put on a smile and said deliberately: "Royal brother, I have been busy familiarizing myself with the military and internal affairs recently. I haven't visited you yet. Please forgive me."

"No, you are devoted to the country, I am so happy." Luo Xiuyuan's tone was gentle, with a faint smile, but Luo Xiuqi heard a sense of irony for no reason.

Luo Xiuqi forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart. He caught a glimpse of Shen Minghuan who was watching the show on the side, and he suddenly became proud.

Luo Xiuyuan, Luo Xiuyuan, everyone praises you for being born extraordinary and praising you for your convincing demeanor, but what about now?

"Sir, I have kept you waiting for a long time." Luo Xiuqi deliberately showed his friendly relationship with Shen Minghuan.

God knows, since Shen Minghuan joined him, he has been looking forward to this scene the most.

If you don't return to your hometown with wealth and honor, it's like walking in the night with brocade clothes.

If you don't show off your power in person, it's like throwing a pearl in the dark.

Shen Minghuan paused while fanning himself. He calculated the time and said, half sincerely and half regretfully, "It's OK. I didn't wait too long."

Thinking of what the system said, he added, "Besides, even if I wait longer, it's my duty. You are my lord, Your Highness."

Luo Xiuqi was so happy that he almost flew up.

After knowing each other for so long, this was the first time Shen Minghuan was so kind to him and the first time he acknowledged him as his lord.

Throw me a papaya, and I will repay you with a jade pendant. It's not a reward, but a friendship forever!

"I will not let you down." Luo Xiuqi was very excited and needed to do something to express his excitement.

He picked up the knife on the table and said with a smile, "It's rare to find lychees in this season. I didn't expect you to have them here. Lychees are sweet, but the skin is bitter. I'll peel them for you."

"Don't!" Shen Minghuan thought to himself. His hands were not clean at first glance. He wouldn't eat them after peeling them. So he shouldn't waste the fruit. After all, he liked the taste of lychees.

Disgusted in the heart, but said in a high-sounding manner: "Your Highness is a daughter of a rich family, how can you do such a thing."

"My husband and I are of the same mind, and it will be awkward if we talk about our identities again." Luo Xiuqi was not very determined at first, but after being persuaded by Shen Minghuan, he became more determined.

Shen Minghuan looked a little impatient, and was obviously on the verge of getting angry. The system hurriedly coaxed him: [Host, it's okay, host, you can think of something happy! I have been patient for so long, I can't give up at this time. ]

[You are right. ] Shen Minghuan sneered: [It's still early, there is no rush at this time, Luo Xiuqi... hehe. ]

The system shuddered.

On the surface, this picture is still very harmonious, and it is qualified to be ranked first in the list of the top ten stories of monarchs and ministers.

Chang Mao glanced at Luo Xiuyuan imperceptibly and lowered his head distressedly.

Luo Xiuyuan's expression was indeed moved, but the reason was not what Chang Mao imagined.

He remembered that a few days ago, Shen Minghuan, who had already taken refuge with Luo Xiuqi, came to see him.

This man walked slowly on the withered weeds of the Lingwang Mansion, with a lively expression and his actions were from the heart. He laughed, scolded and laughed at him without any restraint.

His white clothes were the brightest color in the world.

Now this man still wore white clothes that were whiter than snow, with clear eyebrows and calm eyes. He was measured in his advances and retreats towards Luo Xiuqi and observed etiquette.

Luo Xiuyuan couldn't see through people's hearts, but he didn't lack friends. He knew what it was like to get along with friends.

At least it should be free, comfortable, and relaxed...

You can reveal your joy and worries without restraint, and you can also show your bad temper without reservation.

Those trivial thoughts that are not worth telling to outsiders, those consolations and criticisms that others can't say, this is the meaning of friends' existence.

If you weigh every word and weigh every matter, if what you say is not from the heart, and if you need to restrain what you want to do, what kind of friend is that?

Luo Xiuyuan's heart quietly spread a hidden joy.

Even if their positions are not in line, even if they go their separate ways, even if this person has other choices, but -

They are still different to each other.

For some reason, the system suddenly felt uneasy. It checked the calculation program twice and finally felt relieved.

This wave, it can give the host full marks, it is simply perfect!

It can also form a sharp contrast with the host's impolite attitude when he went to the Lingwang Mansion a few days ago, and it further highlights the thoroughness of "Shen Minghuan"'s defection.

It's just a pity for its good boy, look, it's almost crying.

Luo Xiuqi on the side was still struggling with the fruit. The nobleman who had never done such a thing since he was a child.

He symbolically cut it twice and gave up, leaving only a bumpy piece of fruit.

He couldn't show it after cutting it like this, but he was so sure just now that he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Shen Minghuan was afraid that he would really force it on him, so he changed the subject politely: "Your Highness, it's getting late, let's go."

"Hmm? There's no hurry, sir, you can sit for a while and have some more cakes. You don't need to go to Yanling to go to the border, the military camp is simple, I'm afraid it will be wronged." Luo Xiuqi couldn't wait to stay a little longer to appreciate his brother's sad and forbearing pain.

Shen Minghuan reminded him, "If you don't leave now, you will miss the army. The overall situation is more important, Your Highness."

Luo Xiuqi understood, and Luo Xiuqi was reluctant to leave. Luo Xiuqi had a flash of inspiration: "Then why don't you give these fruit cakes to your brother! I don't think your brother can eat them now. Don't worry, sir, I won't take advantage of you, I am willing to buy them at ten times the price."

"..." Shen Minghuan felt that this means of revenge was really childish. How could someone regard giving money as a humiliation? Did he want the enemy to experience the troubles of "getting rich suddenly"?

He didn't want to care, after all, Master Shen had never lacked money in his two lives. He was just about to dismiss him, but suddenly remembered that the torture he suffered today was all because of Luo Xiuyuan!

If Luo Xiuyuan wasn't there, he wouldn't have to act at all, nor would he have to force himself to be nice to Luo Xiuqi.

"Your Highness, don't waste food." Shen Minghuan glanced at the ugly fruit pieces on the table with a hint of meaning, and laughed with gloating.

Luo Xiuyuan looked at the other person's happy expression and replied helplessly, "Okay."
