Chapter 189
At this moment, Xi Lan's heart is as uncomfortable as Li Huai's.

The source of that discomfort was not seeing him suffer for Ning Wanzhu, if he was so ruthless that he turned a blind eye, then he was so ruthless, and it was not the flesh and blood person she loved!

She felt uncomfortable because she saw that Ning Wanzhu was willing to compromise with Lou Kuo for Li Huai's sake. She had never admired this woman before, but at this moment, she felt a kind of gratitude from the bottom of her heart.

Grateful to this world, there was someone who gave warmth to the one she loved, and in the face of such a situation, she was willing to sacrifice for him.

Love can be humble and insignificant, but when it comes to this level of love, who can say that Princess Chaoyang's love is not great enough?

When Li Huai hugged her that night and said that he would go to persuade Chaoyang to go back, she had hope in her heart, but today's events were all caused by her, but she didn't want to see this result!

She bit her tongue hard, finally lost her composure, and took two steps forward.

Li Huai immediately noticed her movements, without turning his head, he said in a deep voice, "Don't go over there!"

His heart is really uncomfortable, but he understands that this is the best result.

Wan Zhu can go back with Lou Kuo, but he is guarding Xi Lan!
From now on, we may never see each other again.

When Xi Lan heard his voice, she stopped in place and looked sideways. His forbearing and resolute profile made her unforgettable.

She really wanted to reach out and hold his hand, but she had to hold back because of her different identities at the moment.

Now that Lou Kuo had said that, if Prince Li Quan wanted to continue to find trouble with Li Huai, he said that it was too late, so he had no choice but to walk away with his sleeves.

Today's racecourse turmoil has finally come to an end.

Wen Wang and others bid farewell to Li Huai one after another, and left with their own people. Qu Wang came over and pulled Li Huai aside, and said earnestly: "Seventh brother, seventh brother, today is safe and sound, but such a guard, Is it really worth it for you to take such a big risk to turn against the eldest brother of the prince? Have you ever thought about what he will say about you to his father after he returns to the palace?"

Without any timidity on Li Huai's face, he replied flatly: "Seventh brother and his brothers are brothers and sisters, let alone..."

He turned his gaze to look at Xi Lan in the distance, and continued: "Thank you, Brother Six, for speaking for Brother Seven today!"

Li Wei nodded and patted his arm: "You and my brother, don't talk about that, you were bullied by them when you were a child, aren't you always on my side?"

Here, Ji Jinjiang stopped in front of Xi Lan.

Her gaze didn't stay on her dress, but she had to remind her: "Do you know what will happen if you don't let go of Lou Kuo today, and you end up in the prince's hands?"

Xi Lan looked apologetically, but didn't answer.

But of course she knew.

In order to make her remember even more, Ji Jinjiang emphasized in a deep voice: "The 35 members of Ji's family will all be implicated for the crime of deceiving the emperor, and my father and I will be the first to lose their heads! Although you have no blood relationship with us relationship, but do you have any compassion to think about the hundreds of innocent servants in the Ji Mansion?"

Xi Lan was not afraid of bearing countless lives, but when she heard Ji Jinjiang's words, there was an inexplicable anger in her chest.

"It's not me, Long Xilan, who treats hundreds of innocent lives in Ji's mansion as a joke, but you and Ji Changgan!"

Hearing her accusation, Ji Jinjiang felt a little lost in his eyes, and said with a light smile, "Actually, you're right! But I thought... you at least regarded yourself as half of Ji's family... It turns out that I wanted to too much!"

Xi Lan moved her mouth, but finally lowered her head.

She used to hate this man who involved her in all these things, but she was grateful to come to this point.

Whether it is fate or man-made.

She met Li Huai, fell in love with Li Huai, enough was enough!
She has no regrets, and will continue on this road!
"Jin Hua!" Ji Jinjiang suddenly called her by this name again.

She raised her eyes to see that the other party had put away the disappointment just now, and said in a business-like manner: "Tomorrow morning, you should go back to Ji's mansion, father wants to see you, this matter is very important!"

"Yeah." She agreed.

Ji Jinjiang didn't say anything else, and quickly took people away!
After King Qu left, they were the only ones left in the entire racecourse!

Li Huai came over and asked her softly, "What did Jin Jiang tell you?"

She shook her head and replied: "It's nothing, just let me go back to Jifu tomorrow."

He frowned slightly and said, "You are not the daughter of their Ji family. This king will not pursue their Ji family's crime of deception, but Xi Lan, you don't have to obey their orders!"

"Li Huai!" She looked up at him, and said frankly: "I know you are doing it for my own good, and I am afraid that I will be wronged at Ji's house, but you should know that if I don't want to, no one can bully me! Besides ..."

Besides, your road to becoming an emperor in the future is destined to require the full support of the Ji family. For you, even if you are really wronged by the Ji family, it is worth it!
Habitually, Xi Lan couldn't say such provocative words, but only smiled.

When they went back, the horse was galloping on the streets of Jinling, she really wanted to ask Li Huai: Are you okay?

She didn't ask, because she already knew the answer.

The night was surprisingly quiet. After Xi Lan fell asleep, she had a dream.

Dreaming of Ping An standing in the dark with her hands bound by iron chains, looking at her with tears in her eyes, she woke up so uncomfortable that she sat up and shouted loudly: "Ping An! Ping An..."

"Xi Lan, you're having a nightmare!" Li Huai got up after him and gently held her in his arms.

She took a deep breath, what was crueler than the dream was that after waking up, she knew that it was not a simple nightmare.

It must be the dead soul of Ping An who came to find her in the dream. Where he was trapped, his soul must have been tortured.

"Tomorrow! Tomorrow, I will definitely save Ping An!" She buried herself in Li Huai's arms, swearing.

"Well, yes, everything will gradually get better!" Li Huai gently stroked the black hair on her back with his hand, which really gave her a lot of comfort. In the middle of the night, she lay in Li Huai's arms During the day, she kept thinking about all the things that happened, and when dawn came, she asked softly, "Maybe the illusions I saw were all fake?"

Li Huai closed his eyes and breathed evenly from his nose. She thought he was too tired, so she fell asleep peacefully holding her!
But I heard him ask: "Xi Lan, what phantom did you see?"

"No……"

Whether it is true or not, she has no energy to worry at the moment!
There was still some time before dawn, she got up and called Qian Mo to dress her up, and decided to go to the west city to find a safe soul first, and then go back to Jifu.

Li Huai also got up, changed his clothes, and washed. He was going to enter the palace today for the morning court, and he brought Lu He's confession with him, preparing to expose Nalan's heinous crimes in the court hall. He had even secretly contacted him in the court Several trusted adults denounced the rampant behavior of He Guojiu and others in Beijing.

Before the two had breakfast, Xi Lan took out the hexagram device, preparing to make up a hexagram for today's itinerary.

Seeing that after she read the hexagram, her expression changed a little.

Li Huai hurriedly asked: "What does the hexagram say?"

She didn't move her eyes, but said softly: "It seems that there are already people waiting outside the mansion! Today's matter may change!"

Li Huai frowned, and asked: "Who is waiting outside the mansion?"

"I will follow the prince to see it!"

The two of them immediately came out of Anrui Pavilion, and when they reached the gate, they saw a group of horses and horses waiting outside, they must have been waiting for a long time, but they did not knock on the door.

A capable middle-aged man stepped out from the front of the chariot and came over respectfully to salute the two of them.

"Good morning, Princess Xu! Little Chen Liu, under the order of General Ji, I invite you two to return to Ji's mansion for breakfast!"

At this moment, before dawn, Ji Changgan sent someone over to invite them, not only Xi Lan, but also Li Huai, what kind of big event is it that needs this?
Li Huai also had an important matter to enter the palace today, so he hastily declined and said: "Please go back and tell General Ji that you will not go there until after the king's morning court!"

The other party was a little embarrassed and said: "But when General Ji ordered the younger one to come to invite him, he ordered the younger one to invite the prince over. General Ji also said that the prince can still enter the palace with General Ji in a car if there is not much delay in the past." Morning!"

No matter how you say it is the name of the father-in-law, the words have been said like this, if Li Huai does not go, it is really unreasonable, so he agrees.

The two immediately got into Ji's carriage and headed for Ji's mansion.

Li Huai asked her softly: "Did the hexagram reveal that Ji Changgan was so eager to see the king, why?"

"Actually, you and I both know that seeing you at this moment must be related to the confession in the hands of the prince. I just don't understand. This time, the Ji family should share the same hatred with you. Why is this so?" Xi Lan said. If there is a change, it is to see from it that a major event concerning them will not be realized because of it.

Li Huai was silent for a moment, then asked her: "So it's not an auspicious hexagram?"

Xi Lan shook her head and replied, "No!"

He took a deep breath and said frankly: "If Ji Changqian really invited me to go to persuade me to give up impeaching the Nalan clan, I should go and see what reason he will use to persuade me to give up!"

It didn't take long for Ji's mansion to arrive. The envoy surnamed Chen invited them to Ji Changgan's reception hall. When they entered, besides Ji Changgan sitting there, there was another person sitting on the guest seat.

The man was wearing a simple black long gown, thin and thin, holding a string of rosary beads in his hand, and when Xi Lan saw the man's face, she was completely shocked!
