"Impossible!"

Although Zhang's words were only a few words, they stirred up a monstrous wave in Cheng Yan's heart. www.biquge.info He subconsciously grasped the armrest of the Taishi chair, his finger joints were faintly white because he was too hard, his eyes were fixed in one place, and a deep worry appeared on his face.

He has been immersed in officialdom for decades, whether in front of courtiers or emperors, or even in front of some Cheng family members, this mask has been tightly fastened on his face from beginning to end, and has never been torn off or peeped at.

But now, when he was betrayed by the crown prince and wanted to take off this mask to take a breather and think clearly about the way forward, he suddenly heard that the enemy he was bent on suppressing might have discovered his long-hidden secret.

Those seemingly heart-to-heart closers and closers turned out to be just traps set up to take advantage of themselves.

This is an unwarranted disaster for Cheng Yan, who is in a dilemma and doesn't know how to advance or retreat.

"Over the years, I have been cautious in everything, careful everywhere, and I think I am doing it seamlessly, what I did wrong, where ......"

Cheng Yan raised his head to look at the darkening sky outside, and a late afterglow penetrated into the openwork window lattice, reflecting the fine lines and sorrow at the corners of his eyes. Cheng Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly felt an unprecedented exhaustion in his body and mind, which overwhelmed him.

Even the hands that once commanded thousands of armies and turned the storm turned over couldn't help but tremble slightly.

He had worn this mask for too long, and even if he wanted to, he couldn't do it.

What he was like in the first place, he couldn't remember it for a long time, and he didn't want to remember it.

"Master, are you alright?"

Zhang looked at the unprecedented fragility in the corner of Cheng Yan's eyes, and finally temporarily put away the conspiracy in his heart, and greeted with concern.

After all, this huge mansion is only because of the noble and noble title of the Duke of Yasukuni that he can be crowned with a wife and a son, and the scenery is infinite.

Only if Cheng Yan continues to sit in the court and stand tall, will she and her children be rich and prosperous, and their lives will be peaceful.

"It's fine. ”

Cheng Yan spit out two words in a low voice, opened his eyes and returned to his usual color, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Anyway, all this is just speculation, and we haven't found out the real evidence yet, maybe you think too much, right?"

His tone was light, and there was no confidence in his words, more like a self-deceptive words of comfort, and it seemed to be a knowingly rebellious remark, which made people feel a little relieved.

"But so far, these two children still haven't heard from us, so we have to think about it. ”

Zhang frowned and pulled his sleeves, which made the muscles on Cheng Yan's cheeks jump tightly, and his face became even more gloomy, and his whole body was full of strong coldness.

"I have lost a sister and I don't want to lose another son. ”

He muttered to himself, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he stood up in a panic and rushed to the door.

"Come on, go and search for me again, search for me door to door! If anyone finds the little master, it will be my Cheng Yan's great benefactor, and you will definitely be guaranteed to enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future! Go quickly!"

After a shout at the top of his throat, he held his hand on the door frame and gasped heavily, but the worry in his eyes did not dissipate in the slightest.

He knew that he was only doing this to find a little peace of mind during this long ordeal, and that it was of no practical use.

If such a fanfare search is useful, then Cheng Yu and Cheng Xiuning may have already returned.

"Dad, don't lie to yourself anymore. Nine times out of ten, King Yan instructed behind his back. ”

Cheng Sujin pretended to be worried and walked to Cheng Yan's side and grabbed his arm, and said in a fierce tone: "You see that the people of this Jade Yin Villa can't fight with our eight poles, if it weren't revealed by familiar people, how would they know that the younger brother would go to the Winter Solstice Festival every year? How could they rob people there so smoothly?"

She paused for a moment and glanced at Zhang, and when she saw that she cast a feasible glance at her, she continued more reassuringly: "And according to my daughter's guess, in this matter, His Royal Highness King Yan may only be an accomplice, such a vicious idea must have been thought up by that Cheng Jinzhi." How much she hates our Cheng family, you know it well in your hearts. She just saw that her father usually loves her little brother the most, so she came up with such a trick, wanting to murder the heirs of our Cheng family to vent her hatred. ”

"Cheng Jinzhi ......" Cheng Yan muttered the name in his mouth, and his pupils tightened almost in disbelief, "Is she really, so vicious?"

But as soon as the words came out, a certain place in the depths of his heart seemed to be pricked by a needle, although it was only an extremely slight pain, but his heart could not be calm for a long time.

For so many years, for this daughter who is close at hand but lonely, and has been bullied under his nose, has he ever felt guilty, moved, or a mercy out of shallow family affection?

He was stunned in a trance, and a woman's beautiful and delicate face suddenly flashed in front of him, and after a closer look, it was so similar to Cheng Jinzhi. Not only did his heart tremble, but he also felt even more worried.

"This girl hates and poisons our Cheng family, what can't she do?"

At this time, Zhang took over the conversation unhurriedly, and a strange look flashed under his curled eyelashes.

"She has always thought that we killed her mother since she was a child, and she is afraid that she has already had a desire for revenge, but she was forced to make a living in the Cheng family from the past, so she can only live in a low voice. Now that she has flown on the branch and become a princess, with the backer of King Yan, of course, there must be revenge, revenge, and you will not give up if you want to destroy us. ”

Seeing Cheng Yan bowing his head solemnly but not speaking, Zhang knew that he was already in a mess at the moment and didn't know what to do, so he took a step closer and cautiously probed: "Master, in fact, whether we think too much or do it, I have a way, you can give it a try." ”

"How?"

Cheng Yan glanced at her suspiciously, and then moved his gaze back to the place where the clouds were setting at the end of the sky.

"What's the solution?"

"That's what I thought. Zhang's eyes flashed, and he said: "Since there has been no news from Yuyin Villa so far, and people have searched for it to no avail, instead of sitting here and waiting to die, it is better to send someone to the palace to report a message, pretending that Ning'er and Yu'er have returned safely." If this matter was really a ghost behind the scenes of the people of the Yan Wangfu, they would definitely have doubts and send someone to check it. When the time comes, as long as anyone walks out of the palace and follows this person, they will definitely be able to find the whereabouts of these two children. On the other hand, if it really wasn't what they did, it wouldn't be a good thing for us to have peace of mind. ”

After she finished speaking, she watched with satisfaction as the gloom on Cheng Yan's face gradually dissipated, a trace of hope appeared in her gloomy pupils, and a meaningful smile rose at the corner of her lips.

But at first glance, this smile is full of the coldness of the mad.
