For the Minister of War to urgently send a message to Lu Huan, he definitely hoped that Lu Huan would return to the court as soon as possible. Now that the court was in turmoil and the Crown Prince was about to be deposed, The Emperor might really depose the Crown Prince in order to settle the matter!

When the time came, Lu Huan would not be in the court and would be very passive. Only the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince would be left to fight for the position of Crown Prince.

Once either of them was seated, it would be difficult for Lu Huan to topple them in the future. After all, one of them could endure and the other was brave. They were much stronger than the cowardly Crown Prince.

Even if Lu Huan did not want the position of Emperor, if either of these two became Emperor, they would not let him stay.

He was different from the deposed Crown Prince. Without the Prime Minister, the deposed Crown Prince would not be able to support the wall. However, Lu Huan was a powerful threat. No matter who became Emperor, they would not allow such a threat to remain in the capital.

The meaning behind his words was that Lu Huan had no way out.

However, Lu Huan did not have a legitimate reason to return.

He had guarded the Imperial Mausoleum for a year and could not return to the capital without an imperial edict. If he returned openly, his ambitions would be clear and he would give the Second Prince something to use against him.

If he returned secretly, that would be simple. However, he would not have a place to set foot in the capital. Even if he showed his face, he would still not have a legitimate reason.

The only thing he could do now was to wait for a suitable opportunity before he could return openly.

If he wanted to be Emperor, it was best if he did not have any blemishes. Only then would he be able to win the hearts of the people and have the people pledge their allegiance.

If he replied, he was afraid that he would be intercepted midway. Even if he did not reply, the Minister of War had been an official for many years and knew how to protect himself.

Thus, Lu Huan did not reply that night. Instead, he quietly waited for the situation to develop. Last time, he let the Second Prince profit from the battle. This time, he was determined to let the Second Prince become the mantis stalking the cicada, drawing water with a bamboo basket.

It was another cold winter in the Yan Dynasty.

The snow on Mount Tai covered the sky and covered the earth. The situation in the capital was like a surging storm, ever-changing.

After Lu Huan repeatedly instructed two Featherwood Guards who were relatively close to him to deliver the information they had scouted into the palace hall every day, he continued to shut himself in.

The Minister of War, who did not get any response from him, became anxious.

On one hand, the Minister of War felt that Lu Huan probably had his own plans, so he didn't need to worry about Lu Huan. But on the other hand, he couldn't help but be anxious about Lu Huan's negative attitude and the fact that he didn't have the slightest intention of taking over Taiji Palace.

In the beginning, he and the Zhenyuan General did not have a clear stance. It was only when Lu Huan was reinstated as the Ninth Princes and everyone returned from the Northern Region that he and the Zhenyuan General stood on Lu Huan's side many times in the Throne Room. Now, they were completely in the Ninth Princes' faction. If Lu Huan did not take that position, their fates would not be good either.

Even if it wasn't for this, for the sake of the people of the world, he still hoped that Lu Huan could take that position and make the Yan Dynasty peaceful.

The court officials were all in the capital, and the Zhenyuan General had already returned to their garrisons. From the capital to the Imperial Palace, there were a total of three city gates: Ming De, Zhu Que, and Hantian. Unless it was a time of war, the army could not enter the capital. Once they entered the capital, they would be arrested for the crime of rebellion.

The Minister of War was worried that the situation in the capital would suddenly change, so he first arranged for himself and the Zhenyuan General's family and relatives to leave the city gate in advance.

Su Xi also didn't expect such a big thing to happen in the Yan Dynasty after the supplementary classes. When she turned on her phone, the people gathered outside the Zhu Que Gate and asked the court to abolish the Crown Prince. Although there were certainly people who instigated this and deliberately aroused public anger, in the end, if the Crown Prince hadn't taken advantage of the time of national chaos to line his own pockets, how could such a big thing have happened?

Now the Throne Room was in a difficult position. Abolishing the Crown Prince would shake the foundation of the country. If the Crown Prince wasn't abolished, the people's hearts would be unstable.

Lu Huan came back from Mount Tai. After changing his clothes and coming out of his room, Su Xi couldn't help but take out her phone to find him, "What are you going to do?"

Fortunately, this didn't happen before or after the college entrance examination, otherwise Zaizai wouldn't even need to take the college entrance examination.

Fat Cat was under Su Xi's feet with its back. Su Xi gently kicked it away and muttered, "Damn, your Yan Dynasty's Second Prince is poisonous. I thought he was really honest before, but I didn't expect him to have a trick up his sleeve."

"Yeah, he's scheming and astute."

Lu Huan was obviously still thinking about the hunting at Mount Qiuyan that year, "Isn't this kind of character very handsome?

You even left a lamp for him. "

Su Xi was speechless.

You've watched too many TV dramas with me, so you even know about 'character'.

Lu Huan stared at Su Xi's hand and asked faintly, "Which hand did you use to help him apply the medicine?

You applied it so evenly … "

"What are you doing?"

Su Xi hurriedly grabbed her right hand with her left hand and hid her hand behind her back, "Why are you jealous of this kind of thing? I didn't save him for him. Didn't you already know that I did it for you …"

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Huan went behind her and grabbed her hand. Su Xi subconsciously retreated until she reached the wall and had nowhere to retreat. Lu Huan pinned her against the wall. Lu Huan grabbed her hand and wiped it on his chest.

Su Xi, "…"

Lu Huan was happy and said, "I want what others have."

Su Xi, "Are you crazy!

At the very beginning, I even flicked the buttocks of two servants in Prince Ning Fu. Do you want to do it too? "

After saying that, she really pinched the butt of the young man in front of her.

Lu Huan's face lit up in an instant, "…"

Jokes aside, the main point was the current situation in Beijing. Su Xi was very worried about Lu Huan.

However, Lu Huan calculated the time. It wasn't the right time yet.

No matter who had the upper hand now between the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince, if they wanted to fight for the position of Crown Prince, they would have to get The Emperor to issue an imperial edict.

The Emperor wouldn't easily give the position of Crown Prince to either of them. The civil and military officials were originally on different sides and wouldn't easily submit to either of them. Then, when the time came, there would only be one path for the winner — instigation.

Lu Huan just needed to wait for changes.

"When the situation becomes more chaotic, I'll clean up the mess," Lu Huan said.

Hearing him say that, Su Xi was more or less relieved. No matter what, she wouldn't get hurt. She still had her and the system as her golden fingers.

However, what would come would come. Su Xi had to go home for the New Year. They wouldn't be able to see each other for seven days.

After feeding Audacious, Lu Huan carried Su Xi's suitcase and sent her home.

In fact, it was only a few streets away, but for some reason, Su Xi was very reluctant to leave. Her heart felt empty. Especially since she would definitely be at home on New Year's Eve and the first day of the New Year. Lu Huan could only celebrate the New Year alone.

He used to be alone every New Year. Su Xi actually wanted to spend the New Year with him.

Downstairs.

Fine snowflakes floated in the sky.

Although it was daytime, the automatic street lights were still on because the sky wasn't very bright.

Lu Huan stood in front of Su Xi and adjusted her scarf. "Call me when you go back. Call me tomorrow too. Call me again on New Year's Eve."

Su Xi said, "I should be able to run out tomorrow. See you at the nearby park."

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

Lu Huan's eyes lit up. He was about to say this, but he was worried that Su Xi would think that he was too clingy. Seeing that Su Xi blurted out first, his heart felt like it was dripping with a soft egg. He said, "Remember to wear more clothes and stay warm."

"Yes, yes. There are seven days in the New Year. Remember to do more questions. If you go to Beijing, you'll probably be delayed for a while. There will only be one semester left before school starts."

Su Xi reminded him, "Also, feed Audacious until it's full. Don't take advantage of my absence to deduct its food."

Lu Huan said sourly, "When you're with that fat cat, you only care about its food. When you're with me, you just urge me to study. You don't care about anything else, right?"

Su Xi looked at him and suddenly said, "I really can't bear to part with you. Why don't you come back with me?"

Lu Huan said in surprise, "Are you serious? Xiao Xi, are you going to acknowledge me?

I'll go up and pack my things now — "

Su Xi was taken aback by his serious tone. Before she could finish speaking, a car arrived with a honking sound.

Su Xi quickly slipped away like an irresponsible scumbag. She laughed and said to him, "Stop dreaming. Wait until you graduate. But on the fourth day of the New Year, you can come to my house as a classmate!"

Lu Huan was a little resentful, but he still couldn't help but laugh. He quickly put her suitcase into the trunk and then followed her into the car.

Su Xi originally thought that she would slip away. Who knew that he would follow her into the car? She was shocked and said, "Lu Huan, what are you doing? Are you really going to see my parents?"

"I'll send you back."

Lu Huan said helplessly, "I understand. I won't make things difficult for you. We'll talk about meeting your parents after graduation."

Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest.

Lu Huan held her hand.

The car moved slowly under the neon lights. The New Year's atmosphere was very strong on the streets. There were lanterns and streamers everywhere. It was Lu Huan's first time seeing the New Year in this world. Although it wasn't as crowded as the Lantern Festival in their world, there were all kinds of shops and it was more prosperous.

As the car drove, he looked out. Su Xi introduced him to some fireworks and firecrackers on the side of the road.

Lu Huan suddenly remembered that after the Autumn Swallow Mountain hunt, she disappeared for eight days. When she reappeared, she set off dazzling fireworks above his head. He would never forget it.

He didn't know how beautiful the fireworks in this world were.

Thinking about it this way, he and she still had a lot of things to do, waiting for a lifetime to slowly complete.

Su Xi hoped that the car would drive slowly so that she could talk to Lu Huan more. But even if it drove slowly, it was only a few blocks away. Soon, the car arrived at the neighborhood. Su Xi had to push the door open and get out of the car.

Lu Huan took her suitcase out of the trunk and sent her to the neighborhood of the apartment building.

Lu Huan said to her, "See you tonight."

Su Xi was stunned. "Tonight?"

Lu Huan pointed at the phone in her pocket and said, "Don't forget that you have this. Call me after you take a shower tonight. I'll go to your place and do homework together."

"Ah, I almost forgot!" Su Xi thought that they wouldn't see each other for at least two or three days.

However, Lu Huan's screen could adjust the starting interface. Previously, he had adjusted the starting interface to the apartment. Otherwise, during this period of time, every time he appeared in her room, he definitely wouldn't be able to hide from her parents' eyes.

Since he could adjust the interface, then he only needed to return to the Taishan Palace and adjust the interface to her room. Wouldn't that mean that he could easily enter her room at night?

Then, when her mother walked to the door, he would suddenly disappear and return to the Yan Dynasty —

You can do that?!

Su Xi was pleasantly surprised. "Why didn't you say so just now?!" She thought that she wouldn't see him for a few days and felt quite disappointed.

Lu Huan originally wanted to say it just now, but when he saw Su Xi hanging her head and looking listless, he felt that Su Xi would also miss him because of his absence.

Su Xi was relieved and said happily, "Okay then, I'm going up. See you tonight."

She walked backward as she spoke, and only turned forward when she was almost at the bottom of the building. But when she pushed the suitcase into the building, she could not help but look back. She saw that under the heavy snow, Lu Huan was still standing under the streetlight, looking at her from afar. His hands were in the pockets of his black down jacket, and because his hair had grown long again, he was wearing a baseball cap. Even from so far away, she could still see that his eyes were like stars, and his gaze only fell on her.

When he saw her looking back, he opened his mouth as if he was saying something to her. However, they were already some distance away, so Su Xi couldn't hear him clearly.

For some reason, Su Xi's heart was filled with a strong sense of longing that she couldn't part with. They hadn't even separated yet, but she already started to miss him. There was no one around. She just threw her suitcase at the building and suddenly walked back.

She pushed open the door under the building. As she walked, she suddenly ran again.

There was a smile in Lu Huan's pitch-black eyes. Before she could charge back at him like a bomb, he opened his arms, and Su Xi fell into his embrace.

"What did you just say?" Su Xi tiptoed and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Lu Huan hugged her waist and rubbed her head with his other hand. He said to her, "I said —"

Su Xi raised her ears. Her ears were a little hot. She felt that the shape of his mouth just now was like a certain word.

"I love you." Lu Huan lowered his eyes slightly and looked directly into her eyes.

He seemed to find it hard to say these words. His ears were a little hot, but he still held Su Xi's waist tightly and didn't let go.

Su Xi's face was completely red. She knew it. "Forget it, I'm going up."

Lu Huan: "Okay."

He hugged Su Xi tightly. After burying his head in her neck for a while, he let go of her.

Su Xi kept looking back as he walked into the building. Even when he disappeared into the elevator, Lu Huan did not leave.

She pulled her suitcase and stood in the elevator. When she thought of Lu Huan's serious eyes just now, the corners of her mouth unconsciously widened. An auntie who had just finished taking care of the garbage stood in the elevator with her. She looked at Su Xi strangely and asked, "Little girl, are you in love?"

Su Xi suddenly became shy and giggled twice. When the elevator stopped at the floor of her house, she quickly rushed out with her suitcase.

After living in school, she usually went home once a week. Therefore, when Father Su and Mother Su saw her come back, they didn't have any expression at all. Her father was boiling water in the kitchen while her mother was knitting on the sofa. She glanced at her and said, "You're back?

Just in time. Help your father water the flowers. He's too busy. "

Su Xi, who didn't seem to be her biological daughter, was speechless.

Su Xi put down her luggage. She picked up the watering can and walked to the balcony with resentment. She unintentionally glanced down.

Downstairs, after confirming that she was home, the tall boy still stood there with his hands in his pockets. When he saw her appear on the balcony, he clumsily imitated the TV series that Su Xi liked to watch. He raised his hands above his head and made a big heart to Su Xi.

Su Xi looked at him and then looked up at the snow in the sky. She smiled and thought that she was probably poisoned. Why did she like him more and more every day?
