you got on my tail

Bai Xuehe himself didn't expect that he would be jealous because of a fake snake, but from the time he woke up in the early hours of the morning until Bai Fu made breakfast, Heidan has been happily hugging the little white porcelain snake, never letting go for a moment. Open paws.

But 20 taels of silver, I haven't played for a day, but this guy took it!

Bai Xuehe went over to give him the pastry, wanting to snatch what was in his hand, so he narrowed his eyes and said, "Xiao Hei, come and have a snack!"

He was ready, as soon as Heidan stretched out his hand, he would snatch the object from the child's hand, but Heidan opened his mouth directly, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," he took half of the thing off in one bite.

"you!"

"What's wrong with me!" Heidan hugged the little snake and raised his face, looking at Bai Xuehe proudly, there were still a few crumbs of snacks on his puffy cheeks.

Bai Xuehe squinted at him, thinking in his heart that he would have known better if he didn't buy this thing. Heidan finished chewing what was in his mouth, went over to grab a piece of pastry, and said slowly: "If you buy it for me, it's mine. Well, it’s useless for you to think about not buying it.”

"You!" Bai Xuehe's forehead was sweating angrily, and then fanned the wind with his hands. Bai Fu smiled and handed him some tea, and then said with a smile, "Why are you afraid of the heat in winter?"

"Who knows!" Heidan ran towards the door triumphantly, but kept turning his head to see if Bai Xuehe was angry, and didn't notice that there was another person standing at the door.

Wei Lan who just rushed over wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was tall and handsome, so he naturally stood firmly on the spot, but the short Heidan was different. The little snake also rolled around twice, and hit the corner of the table with a "boom".

"You're happy now." Bai Xuehe gloated, with happiness written all over his face. He knew that Heidan would be fine if he fell off the cliff, so he was naturally very solid, but he still stepped forward and pulled him up from the ground. The child's hands were like cotton candy The same soft and soft, Bai Xuehe couldn't hold back and squeezed two more, but saw the little face change color.

Xiao Hei sat on the ground aggrieved, and didn't get up for a long time. Bai Xuehe followed his gaze, only to find that the little snake hit the corner of the table and broke into three pieces.

"This is my house, Mr. Wei, don't you always know how to knock on the door?" Bai Xuehe said something to Wei Lan with squinting eyes, then turned his head and said, "And you, you are running around in a hurry..."

In the middle of his speech, he saw Hei Dan stunned in place, and slowly got up after a while, softly said: "I'm sorry, I accidentally broke the little snake you bought for me, I didn't mean it, I love it."

Bai Xuehe felt as if he had punched cotton, and his heart was so soft, he stepped forward and kicked the broken porcelain away, then raised a piece of dim sum and said, "Tonight, can we go buy another one right away?"

Heidan was still a little unhappy, and Bai Xuehe smiled again: "I saw a bigger style yesterday, I'll buy you a bigger one!"

Heidan looked at the toes, and nodded slowly just now.

Wei Lan on the side was already in a hurry, she danced at Bai Xuehe, Bai Xuehe just slowly gave Bai Fu a wink, Bai Fu stepped forward and took Heidan's hand, and walked out together with him.

Heidan knew that Bai Xuehe had something to deal with, so he followed Bai Fu to the door obediently, but before leaving, he still gave Wei Lan a look, and said stingily, "I want you to pay me!"

"I'm really in a hurry, I'll definitely buy it for you tonight! Buy two!" Wei Lan closed the door dumbfounded, and invited Heidan out, but Bai Xuehe picked up the broken porcelain on the ground leisurely, and pointed at them angrily Bu Ping said: "Give me 20 taels of silver, this thing looks good on the outside, but the inside is so uneven!"

"Porcelain ornaments just look good on the outside, and you can't see the inside if they don't break..." Wei Lan said a few words, and then realized that she wasn't here to discuss this, so she quickly changed her words: "No, I'm here to say..."

"Then it's not worth 20 taels of silver, and you told me that the pattern on it is inlaid with silver, so it must be made of iron." Bai Xuehe was still thinking about his 20 taels angrily, until Wei Lan blushed. , then played with the fragments in his hand and said: "Master Wei, you are talking about my going to Xingshan, right? The emperor has already settled down, what can we do?"

Wei Lan shook his hand, seeing that Bai Xuehe didn't care, he said in a stern manner: "You go to Xingshan, and Lan Ziqing will go with you."

Bai Xuehe raised his head just now, "What did you say?"

Wei Lan took a sip of tea and said, "Lan Ziqing wants to go to Xingshan with you! Our people have followed him a few times recently and found that he is always in Prince Yu's mansion!"

Bai Xuehe was silent, with a stiff smile on his face.

"Either way?" Seeing that Bai Xuehe didn't speak, Wei Lan said: "I'll go and ask the emperor, and the matter will be over."

"Are you kidding?" Bai Xuehe put down the tile with a smile, "You don't have to worry about it, but you have to pay Xiao Hei for that ornament, and go buy it for him tonight."

"Why are you still talking about this?!" Wei Lan fainted angrily, and said in a hurry: "What if you are killed and can't come back!"

"Just take him away, don't come back before I go out." Bai Xuehe waved his hand to signal Wei Lan to leave, "If I can't come back, the emperor has a reason to kill Xu Yan, not only will he not be infamous for thousands of years, but he will also be famous in history !"

Wei Lan's eyes froze in anger, then she dropped the teacup, slammed the door hard and backed out.

But after a while he came in again, and said kindly: "Master Bai, Lan Ziqing's old lady was arrested by me, her family must have no money, and it's like a stone in a latrine, poor and hard."

Bai Xuehe smiled a little strangely, "What are you talking about?"

"I just want to say that Lan Ziqing is an upright official." Wei Lan hesitated for a while, but still expressed his thoughts, "If the mine accident is really not the fault of the Xu family, then they will have the courage to go to Lan Ziqing, That's why I desperately asked you to investigate again..."

Bai Xuehe was even more puzzled in his smile, "What do you mean by all this?"

"Master Bai." Wei Lan followed in silence, with a tangled expression on his face, he paused for a long time and said, "Master Bai, I know that King Yan has a kindness with you, but the emperor asked him to handle the Xu family's case, but he has been shutting himself out. , you only rely on your own strength, if it is to set him free, there is no need at all..."

"Master Wei, I know you are not stupid, and your reasoning just now is very reasonable, but you seem to have forgotten a big thing." Bai Xuehe's smile deepened, his eyes looked at the broken porcelain on the table, showing a bit of calmness "I'm just a toy of the emperor, and everything I do is naturally towards the emperor."

Wei Lan was silent, staring at the face full of smiles, instantly lost all ability to judge, not knowing whether the smile was real or not.

"Okay." The silent guard Lan took a deep breath, after all, he did not regain his usual expression.

After Wei Lan left, Bai Xuehe let out a long breath. Although it was already autumn, there was still a thin layer of sweat on his back.

"It's autumn, why is it still so hot?" Bai Xuehe muttered and straightened the teacup that was down on the table, then untied his belt and prepared to change into casual clothes when he went out, and casually threw the pouch on the soft couch in front of him for a nap superior.

Indeed, Lan Ziqing's mother was arrested by Jin Yiwei, she was poor and homeless, so she didn't seem to be someone who had colluded with Xu's family for a long time.

Lan Ziqing was an upright person, so naturally he would not be forced by the rich and powerful, King Yu looked for him, he looked for King Yu, all these things seemed to show that Xu Yan was not behind the scenes.

But what the emperor wants is never the truth, and he has no way out.

But now he is in deep trouble, either you die or I live, so no matter who is behind the scenes, he must cooperate with this unknown person, whether he wins or loses.

It's like he just wants to seek freedom and joy for the rest of his life for Yan Wang, which has nothing to do with Yan Wang's own thoughts.

At this moment, the little black snake struggled to crawl out from a corner of the soft couch, then untied the tie of the purse with the tip of its tail, and slipped in with twists and turns. Push things out a little before you can barely get in.

Although Heidan couldn't understand what the villain said to Bai Xuehe, he could be sure that Bai Xuehe was asking him to lure him away!

What fun things don't take him away, what's the fun in leaving a snake that can't move!

Of course, Bai Xuehe didn't see Heidan getting in. After changing his clothes, he turned around, tied his purse around his waist again, and put the pipe back in place.

Knowing that Bai Xuehe didn't notice him, Heidan felt excitedly that he must have lost a lot of weight.

……

The night wind was sparse, and in the late autumn night, it rained suddenly and torrentially.

In Prince Yu's mansion, Lan Ziqing also changed into ordinary casual clothes and stood in the study to bid farewell to King Yu, Xu Lingxiao also stood aside to accompany him.

After what happened to Xu Gao, Xu Yan obviously scolded Xu Lingxiao not to cause trouble, and his clothes were much simpler than usual, but there was still a dandy look between his brows.

Yu Wang was in his early twenties this year, and his eyebrows and eyes were vaguely childish. He was about the same age as Xu Lingxiao. He took a wooden box from the bookshelf and opened it, and took out an amber bottle from it.

"This is the rose wine from the Western Regions, and it was given to me by my father. It is extremely precious. I have never opened it. The wine was given to the hero. This time, Mr. Lan volunteered to help General Xu get rid of the suspicion. This king should use it Toast you with wine." King Yu's voice was crisp and clear, like a mountain spring hitting a rock, "This king will fill a glass for you."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and signaled Xu Lingxiao to follow him to hand over the glass. Xu Lingxiao took the wine glass with a sideways glance without sincerity, and was about to raise his hand to put it on the table, but was stopped by Lan Ziqing.

"Lord Lan, you..." King Yu was a little puzzled, but he was still very polite. It is rare for a pampered prince to have such a heart.

"This wine is very precious, please put it back and keep it safe, Your Highness." Lan Ziqing still maintains the habit of not eating toasts, her expression is a bit rigid but sincere, "There are many families in Xu, and countless people will be involved in a thorough investigation. I just don't want to see innocent people. The people who are involved are implicated, but if General Xu is guilty, I will still investigate to the end, so I cannot accept your wine."

"My uncle is wrong, and this king will not protect me!" King Yu resolutely put away the wine bottle, "Then I will wait for Mr. Lan to come back to drink. Mr. Lan is upright, and this king wants to make you a friend. What?"

"It's a great honor for me to be friends with His Highness." It seemed that no one cared what his word was, Lan Ziqing was startled before replying: "The word is Rutong."

"En." King Yu nodded, "Then I wish Brother Rutong to return to Beijing as soon as possible."

Then Lan Ziqing left quickly, King Yu was still a little unsatisfied, he held the wine bottle in the sun and looked at it carefully, and then said: "Brother Rutong is like this fine wine, clear and mellow, although everyone says he doesn't know current affairs , but this king doesn’t think so.”

"It doesn't matter what he doesn't know about current affairs, as long as he doesn't turn to that Bai Xuehe." Xu Lingxiao immediately said: "How could the emperor harm my Xu family? Isn't that bitch Bai Xuehe instigating..."

In the middle of his speech, he suddenly felt that what he said was a bit vulgar. King Yu naturally couldn't get used to it, so he couldn't help but stop it with his eyes.

"I'm right." Xu Lingxiao quickly suppressed his voice, but still replied unconvinced, then lowered his head and put the wine back on the bookcase. When he walked to the bookcase, he suddenly stopped his movements.

A thunderbolt struck, and the lightning quickly illuminated the room. Xu Lingxiao took two steps against the wall, and then he suddenly became short of breath, pulled up King Yu's sleeve and walked into the dark, with a very nervous expression on his face.

"What's the matter..." King Yu was halfway through speaking, and was immediately attracted by the thing in Xu Lingxiao's hand, "Where did this thing come from?"

"It's right here in the wine box." Xu Lingxiao stared at King Yu nervously, and countless streams of sweat immediately spread out on his forehead. It was a bright yellow silk, no matter the texture or size of the silk, it was very similar to a... ... imperial decree.

Although Xu Lingxiao is a dude, he was also born in a wealthy family, and he knows what the imperial decree is, so he didn't dare to open it, but handed it to King Yu immediately.

King Yu unfolded the imperial decree, but after a while, his hands began to tremble.

If the Chinese characters he knows are correct, this is a decree left by the former emperor. The former emperor did not pass the throne to the current emperor, but left it to the son of the abolished prince who was charged with "rebellion and usurping the throne".

Then he is now the emperor's brother who has been crowned the Great Treasure, isn't he...

King Yu quickly closed the imperial decree, and turned his head to stare at Xu Lingxiao, the whites of his clear eyes were bloodshot.

"Cousin, this is..." Xu Lingxiao had already changed his name.

"You can't say a single word about today's matter!" In the sound of waterfall and rain, King Yu's young and handsome brows were tightly frowned, his fingers were still trembling. After a while, he calmed down a little, "This king is going to enter the palace, you should go back first." .”

The sedan chair was walking sideways in the alley, the rain was getting heavier and the cold wind was getting faster and faster, and Fu Jiying's gentle face kept appearing in King Yu's mind.

"Heng'er, the abolished prince wants to murder his father and seek rebellion. The emperor's father is in danger, so the emperor's brother has no choice but to do it."

There was another thunderstorm, and the sedan chair was passing in front of the desolate Yanwang Mansion, Yu Wang choked his jaws tightly, and finally restrained the urge to rush into the palace to ask the truth.

"go back."

He opened the car curtain and ordered in a deep voice.
