After Emperor Chen left, Ling Zihan returned to her original place and sat down. She reached for the teacup and brought it to her lips. However, Xuanyuan Qian held her down and gave her a cup of hot tea. He handed it to her and said, "The tea is cool."
It's not good for your health." Then he pulled up the chair and sat down next to her. His eyes were staring at hers. He watched her slowly sipping the tea for a moment, and sighed unconsciously: "
Han'er, you are too bold!"
"I have been bold since I was a child, you know that. And I won the bet, didn't I?" Hearing the worry in his tone, Ling Zihan took a sip of hot tea to calm down, and turned to him with a sweet smile.
Pretend that nothing is wrong.
In fact, the words she just said were also filled with lingering fear. She had been observing Emperor Chen's expression, and was deeply afraid that she would die if she said the wrong thing or offended his interests. But the emperor's thoughts were difficult to figure out, even if she
A little Taoist can't compare to an emperor who had to face conspiracies and calculations since he was a baby, and finally stepped on a pile of corpses to ascend to the throne.
As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Since Emperor Chen can keep the wolf of the Su family by his side, there is no way he will not guard against her, a fox who can make money. Even if he has no action now, he is still supporting her and guarantees that he will not be allowed to do so.
She would not take action in the future. So Ling Zihan held back and used her own available value to gamble with her life. Although she won the bet in the end and was appreciated by Emperor Chen, she was afraid that what she said today would bring negative consequences to her.
It will cause trouble in the future, after all, it is not a smart idea to attract the attention of the king...
At this time, Xuanyuan Qian's voice suddenly interrupted her deep thoughts, as if he had read through her thoughts, and said words of comfort in that deep voice. "You won, but you scared me! Simply
In the end, my father asked you to make another plan for me, not in your name."
They all understood the truth that a big tree attracts the wind, but the subtleties in Emperor Chen's words made Ling Zihan breathe a sigh of relief. In this case, he would not touch her, but on the contrary, he was still protecting her.
Ling Zihan nodded and put down the tea cup, then reached out and gently touched the jade flute on her waist. She smiled with an unknown meaning at the corner of her mouth and said lightly: "Even if I lose, I will leave a way out for myself, senior brother."
"I know, but as you said, the emperor has the final say in this world. If he... Well, let's not talk about this matter, let's talk about you. Are you happy living in that house? Listen to me, junior brother
He said, you have caused a lot of noise in the house, but I have to remind you that now that the prime minister is back, you must be careful about everything."
"I understand." Ling Zihan raised her eyebrows and smiled casually, "But even if I really get into trouble, senior brother, will you just watch me suffer?"
"Of course not!" It was originally a joke, but Xuanyuan Qian took it seriously. The sonorous and powerful words made Ling Zihan startled.
Looking back, he still looked gentle and elegant, with the corners of his beautiful lips turned up, and his rosy eyes sparkling gracefully, but there was a silent abyss in his eyes, which was difficult to fathom. While looking at each other, he slowly spoke.
, although her voice was gentle, her words were full of determination, "You are my sister, and I will not let you get hurt in any way! Zihan, I said this when you were five years old. It is still the case now and will be in the future.
!”
Feeling suffocated in her heart, Ling Zihan closed her eyes slightly. The bloody night appeared in her mind. The young Xuanyuan Qian handed the dagger to her, held her hand, and sent the tip of the knife into the assassin's heart.
She said: You are my sister, I will not let you get any harm...
Opening her eyes suddenly, Ling Zihan seemed to have broken free from a nightmare, and looked towards Xuanyuan Qian, her pink lips curled up, her demonic blood pupils flashing with evil, but the fear she had when she was young had long since disappeared.
I don't know if it was an illusion. The moment their eyes met, she felt that she had missed something, but she did not pursue it. She just lowered her eyes and smiled, changed the subject and said, "Senior brother, Ming You is here, do you know?"
"He is the envoy of Northern Yan, here to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday." Xuanyuan Qian nodded slightly and smiled gently, with a calm look on his face, as if he had not had the previous conversation.
Ling Zihan's eyes flashed slightly and she said nothing. She just picked up the teapot and added some water to Xuanyuan Qian's cup. She changed the topic and continued chatting with him. But Xuanyuan Qian noticed the jadeite on her wrist.
Although the bracelet was very similar in style to the one he gave her, he could tell that it was not the original one.
"Han'er, this bracelet?"
"Huh? The bracelet is fine. Is there any problem?" Ling Zihan shook her arm and asked in a relaxed tone.
In fact, she had thought about it long ago. If her senior brother found out, she would pretend not to know. Anyway, the bracelets of both of them were the same. It would be impossible to tell the difference without looking carefully. After she got the senior brother's bracelet back, she would change it.
, isn’t it just that the ghost is unaware of it!
But Ling Zihan underestimated Xuanyuan Qian's familiarity with her.
After more than ten years of getting along, he knew clearly with just one glance that Ling Zihan was lying. But he didn't ask further questions and just found an excuse to be vague. But he knew very well in his heart who the original owner of this bracelet was.
And I made up my mind to go to him and ask for clarification!
After a while, Liu Yun came in with a crowd of people passing around the food. When the food was served, she bowed to the two of them properly, stepped forward and said a few words in Ling Zihan's ear. Ling Zihan nodded and looked at her.
, calmly ordered, "I understand, you and Jinghao just stay here, don't waste a table of good food." Then he turned to Xuanyuan Qian and said: "Brother, the mantis is going to hunt the cicada, let's go through the back door.
, go to Fengyan Pavilion!"
"Let's go." A murderous determination flashed in his eyes. Xuanyuan Qian stood up with a gentle smile, turned his eyes towards Liu Yun, and left through the secret door with Ling Zihan.
As soon as they boarded the carriage, several phantoms quickly followed, protecting their safety in the dark. Yan Xiuyuan also followed from a distance, because there were people from King Yao among the secret guards, and he could not get too close to avoid his whereabouts being exposed.
. However, he did approve of Ling Zihan's approach. She used herself as bait to distract the eyeliners and give Liu Yun and the others time so that they could return to the Prime Minister's Mansion unnoticed to make arrangements for tonight's event.
He was preparing for that battle of wits. But he didn't understand why King Yao was so cooperative. Could it be that he was also involved in tonight's action? If he and His Highness collided, wouldn't it be...
Before he could figure it out, the carriage had already entered the most prosperous shopping street in the capital and stopped at the entrance of the newly opened Fengyan Pavilion. But before they got off the car, they heard a high-spirited voice, "Xuanyuan Qian"
, I will definitely beat you to the ground today!"
