Whoever's behind this, we have to solve Aunt Po's problem first.
This little old lady is loyal to Princess Shih, but unfortunately she has no brains. She betrayed Xue Yao because that official of the Ministry of Revenue scared her, saying that some people suspected that Princess Shih had instructed her to bewitch the Emperor.
If Xue Yao confessed to the crime of compelling the late Emperor to change the name of King Ning, the masterminds behind it must be Princess Shih and King Ning, otherwise why would he waste his efforts as a companion reader?
So even if the pot was pushed onto his head, it was impossible for Consort Shi and King Ning to get off the hook.
He spoke these truths to Aunt Po.
Why did the late emperor set up the king of Ning, there are many kinds of speculation, no one can give a definite answer, but this matter is absolutely out of the late emperor's original intention, not someone else's compulsion, must not be tempted to change the mouth.
Only out of the intention of the late emperor, the king of Ning this throne to inherit the right name.
Aunt Po nodded her head and said she understood, then kneeled down and said she was old and foolish, begging Xue Yao for forgiveness.
Xue Yao helped her up and told her that in order for Lu Qian to ascend to the throne smoothly, he temporarily asked King Rui to arrange for manpower to protect this temple of hers, and that without permission, no one is allowed to enter, so as to prevent any more officials from exploiting the loopholes.
This method is a bit like house arrest to put it mildly, but it's only for a few months, so Xue Yao thought it would make Princess Shih a bit more acceptable, and Auntie Po naturally agreed to it.
When you're done, go to the upper study for the pups.
Because he entered the palace early, Xue Yao waited at the entrance of his study for a few moments before hearing the report of King Ning's arrival outside the courtyard.
Usually at this time, Xue Yao is holding the milk jug, joyfully waiting for the cubs to enter the door, but today is different, the last moment was still worrying about Aunt Po, this moment the mind has already started to automatically replay that kiss last night.
Before Lu Qian entered the door, Xue Yao was thinking: can we still live in peace after rejecting Long Ao Tian's show of love?
The moment Lu Qian entered the door, Xue Yao quickly straightened her clothes and hairstyle, then gracefully turned her head in a single glance, and with an unobtrusive gaze, she looked towards Cub.
The self in Xue Yao's eyes: a calm and self-contained temperamental man.
The little companion in Lu Qian's eyes: the panda.
"What's wrong with your eyes?" Lu Qian asked the dark-eyed young companion.
"What's wrong? What happened to my eyes?" Xue Yao, who cared about her appearance more than usual at any given moment, nervously touched her eyes, turned around and asked the maidservant of her highness for a bronze mirror to take a look at them, and realized that her dark circles were so heavy that they seemed to be smoky makeup.
"I didn't sleep well last night." Xue Yao was very dissatisfied with her face at the moment, but she still pretended to be indifferent and looked at Lu Qian blandly with her panda eyes, "It's fine, I'll just take a break at noon."
"Didn't sleep well." Lu Qian cocked his head and surveyed the young companion, "Guilty for rejecting His Highness?"
"No."
"It's not too late to backtrack."
"No backtracking." Xue Yao's panda eyes widened in determination, "Didn't we agree to pretend nothing happened?"
Lu Qian nodded, "You can pretend it didn't happen."
"What about His Highness?"
"What happens is what happens."
"You're making me feel guilty." Xue Yao objected.
"Then reverse it." The corners of Lu Qian's mouth smiled badly.
"......" Xue Yao realized something wasn't quite right.
The bad pup had no intention of letting him go, he just didn't want him to overreact and fight back, so he didn't push too hard.
"It was clearly agreed upon last night." Xue Yao frowned, "If Your Highness wants to back out, then I'll have no choice but to resign."
"Resignation?"
"Yeah."
Lu Qian was puzzled, "You don't need Your Highness' permission to resign?"
Xue Yao thought it made sense: "...... want."
Lu Qian pursed her lips and smiled, "Does Yao Yao think that His Highness is gracious?"
"...... "Yao Yao felt that His Highness's natural black character was becoming more and more obvious: "His Highness won't force himself on anyone."
Lu Yi came at just the right time.
As soon as they stepped into the upper study, Lu Qian and Xue Yao stopped their conversation and turned their heads to look at him at the same time.
Lu Yi instantly blanched: why are Seventh Brother and Ah Yao looking at me fiercely?
Could it be that his crime of eating bully food has spread all over the capital?
Lu Qian vigilantly frowned, Sixth Brother under the eyes with the same type of black eyes with the small companion read very suspicious, turn his head and then look at the small companion read the black eyes ......
"What did you guys do last night?" Lu Qian questioned the two pandas suspiciously.
"Didn't do anything." Lu Yi and Xue Yao spoke in unison, but both were very vain.
Lu Qian's eyes became sharper.
Xue Yao remembered last night's incident and turned his head to apologize to Baby Nuan, "I'm sorry ah your highness, oh no, a ...... A逍, I got separated from you last night, so I went back to the house first."
Lu Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his devilish crimes had not been leaked yet, "It's fine, I'm going straight back to the palace as well."
"A-chan-?" Hearing the young companion's new name for Sixth Brother, Lu Qian's expression was as if he had eaten thirty bowls of tofu hand-cooked by the Sword Saint in one sitting, struggling on the brink of vomiting and death.
"I'm the one who told A Yao to call it that." The warm baby whose crime had not leaked out was immediately revitalized and was very comforted by Chitti's sour look, so he couldn't help but have the corners of his mouth rise as he walked up to Chitti with his head held high in triumph, "Doesn't it sound so smooth to the ear? Ah Yi, Ah Yao, and the little nerd seventh brother."

"You're joking again hahahahaha!" Xue Yao darted to get between the rebel pup and the warm baby!
Lu dived dangerously low and questioned the young companion, "Little nerd?"
Sixth Brother and Silly Yao Yao were so contemptuous of His Highness in private!
"Of course not!" Xue Yao coaxed seriously, "Your Highness is too intelligent and not dull at all."
Baby Warmth snorted without giving face and greeted, "Sir is coming, have a seat, Ayao."
"Yes Your Highness." Xue Yao perfunctorily agreed and turned back to continue pacifying the rebel pups.
Lu Yi reminded Ayao as he took his seat, "To say 'okay Yi'."
[System warning: land dive acidity value 83, please take timely precautions by the host.]
Xue Yao hurriedly pulled Lu Qian and sat down a little farther away from the warm baby, flipping open the book and interrupting, "Which one should I read today?"
"Ah Yi, Ah Yao." Lu Qian's gaze was chilling, "Why can you form a word?"
"Just a coincidence!"
"Master wants coincidence."
"Then His Highness is called Submarine?"
Lu Qian bowed his head in contemplation - the title didn't connect with Yao Yao at all.
[System warning: Land dive acidity value 84.]
"Then what does Your Highness want to be called!" Xue Yao broke out in a sweat and took out all of Lu Qian's epithets to try, "Would it be alright to call him Ah Yuan? It also sounds good."
Long Ao Tian pups surname Lu, name potential, word away from the abyss, take "submerged dragon in the abyss, Teng will be nine days" meaning, very in line with the Long Ao Tian temperament, however, with Yao Yao's name can not be connected, the acidity value can not go down.
Baby Warmth even added fuel to the fire at the back table, "Or we could just call the seventh brother, Li, far away from Yao Yao."
[System warning: Land dive acidity value 91.]
"You stop it!" Xue Yao turned his head to stop Baby Warmth from falling on his sword.
In the past, Lu Zhan would have stopped, but nowadays Lu Zhan is a Lu Zhan who has become a devil on the ground, and not only does he not want to stop, but he also wants to be angry with the seventh brother again.
Luckily Mr. arrived in time and the brothers called a truce.
The warm baby must have malfunctioned in some way, Xue Yao thought to himself, the boy's rebellion came too late!
How did he suddenly become so naughty? Once upon a time, he clearly loved the seventh brother.
Must ask for clarification.
Before the lunch break, Xue Yao took a step to talk to Warm Baby.
"What is going on with you lately, Your Highness?"
"Call me Easy."
"That title is not to the liking of the Seventh Highness."
"But I like it, Ah Yao, this world isn't even the Seventh Brother's yet, do I even have to obey him in what I call myself?"
"It's not ......" Xue Yao frowned, "Why do I feel like you've been purposely getting on your brother's nerves lately?"
"You want to know why?" Lu Yi looked serious.
"Of course I do."
"Then you have to promise me first." Lu Yi said, "No matter what the reason is, you can't hate me or run away from me because of it."
"I won't hate you, no one will hate you, you're the kindest person I've ever met."
Lu Zhan froze and his eyes darkened, "Not anymore."
"Why?"
"I am a sinner." Lu Yi had eaten a bully dinner last night, causing innocent men to become beggars.
"Why do you say that?"
"For whatever reason," Lu Yi looked at him, "can you accept the unkind me?"
"That depends on how unkind." Xue Yao stared suspiciously at Baby Nuan, "If you keep so intentionally bullying the Seventh Highness ......"
"I didn't bully him!" Lu Zhan frowned, "He's the one bullying me, he wants to take everything away!"
Xue Yao's eyes widened, "Took what away?"
He's just a big eater, so he can't help but eat two of your chicken legs for lunch!
Lu Yi's eyes were full of aggression, "He wants to take you away."
You are everything in my lonely life.
"Me?"
Lu Yi nodded, "Ah Yao, that day I said that Seventh Brother was 'fooling around', it was actually because, he told me that he wanted to marry you."
Xue Yao's eyes widened and quickly regained his composure, snorting, "I heard that the Seventh Highness even married a rabbit."
"He's serious." Lu Yi looked at Xue Yao solemnly, "I won't let him marry you, you're mine."
"Good friend." Xue Yao subconsciously added the words for Warm Baby.
"Not friends." Lu Zhan denied, "I like you, Ah Yao, I don't want to get married, and it's because of you, having you with me for the rest of my life is enough, I don't want anyone else."
Xue Yao had been petrified.
What kind of fucked up life is this?
Harvesting a confession from a king every day?
What Mary Sue script did he get?
"Your Highness ......," Xue Yao looked at the warm baby in stupefaction.
"Easy." Lu Zhan insisted that he change his name.
Xue Yao looked desperate: "It doesn't necessarily have to be that kind of relationship to be together for life, we're just ......"
The door was suddenly thrown open with a jerk!
"Yao Yao?"
Xue Yao saw that it was Lu Qian who had approached him, worrying about the outbreak of acidity value, he hurriedly greeted him and smiled, "Your Highness, go and rest for a while, you still have to practice your sword in the afternoon."
"How long do I have to rest?" Gu Qingyuan's lazy voice came from outside the door, "I'll just stand here and watch you rest."
Xue Yao froze and probed at the door, ''Warrior Gu is here? Didn't you say it would be until the end of the month? How ......"
There was a bang behind him!
Xue Yao and Lu Qian simultaneously turned their heads to look inside the room-
The baby warmer is gone.
Xue Yao looked around and realized that the warm baby was actually holding its head and hiding underneath the eight-imperial table.
"What are you doing?" Seeing Baby Nuan's pale face, Xue Yao walked over to him in a puzzled manner.
Lu Zhan was so scared that he waved his hand, telling them to hurry out and close the door!
The "wrongdoer" came to the palace to take revenge, and the great devil Lu Zun hid under the table on the spot.
"Come out brother." Lu Qian didn't forget about Six's evil deed of pulling the young companion into a private meeting because of her interruption, and stared at Six under the table with a cold expression, "Let's have a duel between the men."
