[Langya Bang] Qi Ye Zhenzhen

The three children were naturally taken to the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion. Prince Jing and his wife returned to Prince Jing's Mansion after bidding farewell to the Princess's siblings.

Mei Changsu dismissed the prince and Prince Yu who came to inquire with him. He watched Prince Jing's carriage slowly go away, and then glanced sideways at the three children following him. He thought it would only take two days to wait. .

He thought of the stunningly talented Concubine Jing again, and he thought that Brother Meng might come to Xuelu tonight.

He had planned to come to Jinling for a long time, and he had a deep heart in his heart.

For the past 12 years, he has been paying attention to Prince Jing. Princess Jing also grew up with them. She was extremely intelligent since she was a child, and she once reminded him that being with a king is like a tiger, but he didn't take it to heart at that time.

She was afraid that she could see Emperor Liang's suspicious nature back then.

She really deserves to be Yanhou's daughter.

As soon as Xiao Jingyan and Yan Zhen returned to the mansion, Zhu Ji, Yan Zhen's subordinate, came to report, saying that the new face in the mansion had come to a conclusion.

The chill in Yan Zhen's starry eyes narrowed, and she said to Xiao Jingyan, "Go and accompany Ah Jiu. I'll be over in a while."

Normally, Xiao Jingyan would not like these shady things and would be happy to accompany his daughter, but for some reason today, he suddenly wanted to go and see.

"I'll accompany you. Ajiu has Zhanying and the others, so I'm afraid I'm too happy to leave."

Yan Zhen raised her eyebrows to look at him, with a bit of reproach in her tone: "You're not afraid of making her wild, and she won't be able to get married in the future."

"Ajiu is still young, so it's not as long as you said." Xiao Jingyan didn't care, and just accompanied her to the study.

"Let's go ahead, I see how you are hesitant to speak. The person behind the scenes must be neither the prince nor Yuwang." Seeing Zhuji's appearance, Yan Zhen had a guess, "It must be Xia Jiang."

Zhuji nodded, her lowered eyes retreated to the side.

"What?" Xiao Jingyan frowned, "How could it be him?"

"It's not surprising. Xia Jiang has always been afraid of King Qi, and the prince has grown up in Prince Qi's mansion since he was a child. Since King Qi and Lin Shuai's family were in trouble, only you dare to say a few words for Brother Jing Yu, and the rest of you dare to say a few words." Sentence. Xia Jiang naturally regards you as a thorn in the flesh. How can I not be wary of you. But this time Xia Jiang's calculations are wrong. Not to mention those few secret works, you have not even seen those side concubines a few times , where can I find out anything. Those few people, keep them for now, Zhuji will keep an eye on me, I have heard that Xia Jiang and Princess Hua have an affair, those few people are probably from the Hua tribe, leaving them there will be another big in the future Use." Yan Zhen waved her hand to signal Zhuji to go down, appeasing Xiao Jingyan who was already a little angry, "Princess Xuanji always likes to get information and manipulate ministers through the inner chamber. It is said that Xia Jiang abandoned his wife and son for her. Half of the people were given to Xia Jiang. Those few are probably a few of them."

"What's the matter!" Xiao Jingyan held Yan Zhen's hand, his voice was low and his face was displeased.

Yan Zhen placed her other hand casually on his back to comfort him, she sighed softly: "I'm afraid the court will be able to come out today. You should also be happy, just leave these matters to me."

Xiao Jingyan was still angry, but after hearing Yan Zhen's words, she remembered that since she gave birth to Xiao Youning, her energy was insufficient, and her limbs were cold in winter, so she was willing to work so hard.

"How can I let you take on this matter alone. A few days ago, I went to the palace to visit the concubine mother, and the concubine mother also said that you lost your health when you gave birth to Ajiu. You should take care of yourself and don't be tired. Let me take care of you. I used to be outside I can't be comprehensive, now I'm back in Jinling..."

"How can you be so delicate. My concubine loves you a lot, and I know your martial temperament, and I worry that you don't know how to take good care of me, so I only mention it." Yan Zhen interrupted Xiao Jingyan, she chuckled, "Besides, I was born in martial arts since I was a child, and I have been taught medicine by my mother and concubine, so how could I not know my own body."

Xiao Jingyan wanted to say something, but Xiao Youning's call came from outside.Xiao Jingyan and Yan Zhen smiled at each other, and when they went out together, they saw a small red figure rushing towards them.

Xiao Jingyan immediately bent down to pick her up, she rubbed her small face against his, and called sweetly, "Daddy."

Although Yan Zhen spat "no rules", she didn't stick to her temperament and fondled her hair.

"Mom, can I hang out with my uncle tomorrow?"

When Xiao Jingyan heard Yan Yujin's name, he remembered his deeds on Luoshi Street, but because his wife and brother couldn't explain it clearly, he just asked her: "Did uncle tell you where to take you?"

Xiao Youning shook his head, but Yan Zhen understood Xiao Jingyan's meaning, and said with a smile, "Although Yujin is naughty, he is not so careless. Ah Jiu will come down soon, he will be five years old after the new year, and he is already a big child gone."

"I don't!" The little guy turned his head and buried it in Xiao Jingyan's neck, his eyes rolled around a few times, and he whispered something in Xiao Jingyan's ear.

Xiao Jingyan stared slightly at first, but then looked at Yan Zhen who didn't understand, laughed out loud, and patted Xiao Youning on the back: "Okay, Daddy promises you."

Prince Jing's mansion wanted to use Xia Jiang's eyes and ears in the mansion to confuse him; on Xuelu's side, Mei Changsu talked with Meng Zhi secretly in Xuelu.

"You mean Concubine Jing?" Meng Zhi was startled, why he asked Concubine Jing again.

Mei Changsu relaxed his waist and leaned back, his eyes mixed with some obscure emotions: "I have not been in Jinling these few years, except for the burning of the Southern Chu ship two years ago, I have hardly heard of Yan Zhen. You must have seen her a few times when she was in Jinling and went in and out of the palace, so you know more about her."

When Meng Zhi was asked such a question, it was really hard for him not to answer.

"To be honest, I don't know either. I just don't know why His Majesty dotes on this princess abnormally. When the Chiyan case happened, she asked His Majesty to let her see King Qi. His Majesty actually agreed. Originally, her engagement with Prince Jing was to be annulled, and His Majesty intended to betroth her to either the crown prince or Prince Yu, but she entered the palace that day and came out with wounds for some reason, so Prince Jing came out together. Yes. The next day, His Majesty set a date for their wedding. Xiao Shu, you and Princess Jing are also childhood sweethearts, you should know her affairs better than me."

Meng Zhi's words made Mei Changsu grasp the corners of the matter, but he still couldn't get a glimpse of the whole picture.

"Brother Meng, Ah Zhen must have seen His Majesty's fear of King Qi and the Lin clan." Mei Changsu sighed as he looked at the brazier, "She reminded me that I never took it to heart." Go up; presumably brother Jingyu is the same. Both he and his father-in-law trust the high majesty so much. Who would have thought that he would be so cruel."

"Then she..."

"She's probably powerless." Mei Changsu recalled that in Meiling, he happened to meet those uncles who made friends with his father in the rivers and lakes back then, and thus saved his life. I'm afraid that among them was the direct disciple of the old man of Tianji. "I'm afraid she already knows my identity."

"Then...will it affect you?" Meng Zhi asked.

Mei Changsu shook his head: "Ah Zhen is a smart person. I'm afraid she knows what my trip is about. She also knows that keeping Jingyan a secret is a good thing for me as well as for her. Now Tingsheng is here with me. , they will come to visit sooner or later."

His gaze was fixed on the book in his hand, and his mind drifted into the distance involuntarily.

It's just that despite his clever calculations, he never thought that Yan Zhen would come to Xuelu to look for him tonight.

The clear and bright face under the black cloak, the starry eyes were light and vast like a sea of ​​smoke, she nodded her head and said in a deep voice, "Ah Zhen has seen my brother. I haven't seen you for many years, how is your brother doing?"

"Thank you Zhen for saving me in Meiling." Now Mei Changsu knew that it was impossible for him to hide his identity from Yan Zhen, so he simply admitted it.

Yan Zhen sat across from Mei Changsu, pulled down her hood, took the tea that Mei Changsu handed over, and took a sip: "If I hadn't met that day outside Jinling City, Ah Zhen wouldn't have known that brother had returned. Jinling. Elder brother, I also understand what you plan to do in Jinling. If you want to know anything, Ah Zhen will definitely answer truthfully."

Mei Changsu rubbed the book in his hand. His eyes were not as bright as they were back then, nor were they bright and penetrating, but they were still deep: "Ah Zhen, I heard that you met Brother Jingyu back then. Did he ever say What have you been?"

Yan Zhen pursed her lips, and the dimples on her face were faintly visible. She said in a low tone, "Back then, I took a confidant to the Hanzi shop to see brother Jing Yu, in order not to question him, but to replace him secretly. It's a pity that brother Jing Yu didn't want to , he was afraid that he was already disheartened. It's just that he didn't want to see his mother clan destroyed, so he asked me to come to rescue him. It's just...my ability is limited, so I just dragged the seniors from the rivers and lakes to rescue me. Only a thousand people came down. Now they are all under the command of my brother."

"Yes, if it weren't for your help, there would be even fewer people who survived." Mei Changsu sighed, adding some hot tea to her tea bowl, "I will keep this kindness in my heart. It's just my identity Don't tell Jingyan."

Yan Zhen paused, she knew Mei Changsu had this intention, but she felt sorry for Jingyan.

"Brother's actions, if Jingyan knows the truth in the future, how should he deal with it?"

Mei Changsu's eyes were long and quiet, and there was a hint of sadness in his tone. : "I won't let him know. He'll never know."

Yan Zhen stared at Mei Changsu speechlessly. After a while she stood up and bowed again. She took out a porcelain vase with white orchids from her sleeve and handed it to him: "This medicine was given by my teacher. It is related to my brother's illness. It's beneficial, I'll hand it over to my brother today. I want my brother to cherish it. Ah Zhen bids farewell."

Yan Zhen hurriedly disappeared into the night, Mei Changsu looked at the bright moon hanging high in the dark night, and suddenly remembered when he was Lin Shu, it felt like yesterday.

Only when Yan Zhen returned to Prince Jing's mansion did she realize that the bedroom light was still on. She opened the door and went in to find Xiao Jingyan sitting at the Eight Treasures table touching a scroll, his expression couldn't be seen clearly in the dim candlelight.

"Why are you still working so hard at such a late hour? The candlelight is so dim, I'm not afraid of hurting my eyes. I'll go get the Ye Mingzhu, it will be brighter." Yan Zhen put the black cloak away, turned around and was about to get the Ye Ming Pearl, Xiao Jingyan Holding her back, he said, "No need, I'm done."

Yan Zhen looked at him with a bit of embarrassment, but didn't say anything.In fact, from the moment she came in, she found that the book in his hand was upside down. He was not reading, but he was clearly waiting for her.

"Today, I went to see Tingsheng quietly. Don't worry, he's not bad in Ningguohou's mansion. It's just..." Yan Zhen pulled out the wick, made the candle light brighter, and explained why she went out tonight, "I When I left the Marquis' Mansion, I unexpectedly discovered that this seemingly neutral court pillar turned out to be from the Eastern Palace."

"What? Xie Yu is from the East Palace. The last time I saw Xie Bi riding on the saddle for King Yu, I thought..." Xiao Jingyan was a smart man, and he understood the key point when he said this, "It's really cunning and cunning."

"Isn't that right? If I hadn't accidentally seen Zhuo Dingfeng's son Zhuo Qingyao when I came out, and listened there, I'm afraid I'd be back early." Yan Zhen was exhausted, took off his clothes, got under the quilt, and yawned , said to Xiao Jingyan, who was undressed, "I don't know what's wrong, this year Jinling is so cold before winter, and I don't know how cold it will be when winter comes."

Hearing what she said, Xiao Jingyan was worried about her health, and hurriedly said, "Then I'll ask my servant to add a brazier in the room."

"No, the brazier is heavy with carbon gas. It smells unpleasant. It's not cold in the room, but it's just a bit windy outside." Yan Zhen quickly refused, she knew that putting a brazier inside the house made Xiao Jingyan afraid that it would be too hot to sleep well. Sleep.

Xiao Jingyan couldn't hold back his concubine, so he had no choice but to give up.When going to bed, he held her tightly in his arms and held her to keep her warm.

"Jingyan."

In the darkness, Yan Zhen called softly.

"Ok?"

His voice was deep and powerful, somehow reassuring her.

"The road ahead is dangerous."

Her tone was flat, mixed with sighs.

"Ah."

"I'll accompany you."

This situation is just like the promise she made when she married him 12 years ago, no matter what the situation, she will be with her life and death.

"Ah Zhen." He tightened his arms around her, and gently kissed her temples, "You are tired, go to sleep. I am here."

"Ah."
