Chapter 357: Prudence and Conspiracy
When the night fell, there was silence in King Luo's mansion, and the light in the study was still on at this moment, illuminating a room, Xiao Yan sat quietly behind the bookcase, raised his hand and picked up a wolf hair, dipped it in ink, and then dropped the tip of the pen on the letterhead in front of him.
The moth outside the window overshadowed the sound of insects, the moonlight fell into the room through the leaves, printing mottled shadows, a small moth fluttered its wings and flew into the lampshade, only to hear the sound of "poof-da-da-" gradually sounded in the room, the moth wanted to fly out because of the burning sensation, but could no longer find its direction, could only stumble again and again, and fell.
I only heard the sound of "pop-" softly, Xiao Yan quietly put the wolf in his hand back on the pen stand, blew it slightly, the ink quickly dried and condensed, and the next moment, Xiao Yan indifferently folded the written letterhead in his hand, put it into the snow-white envelope, raised his hand, and handed it to the hand of Xide beside him.
"Order a reliable person to secretly send this letter to Wang Ren, the governor of Zhejiang, before Xie Yun and them arrive in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. β
Hearing this, he nodded hurriedly, then respectfully took the envelope with both hands, turned around and walked out, when he just walked to the door, gently opened the door, only to hear a "squeak-" sound, and the bright moonlight instantly poured down, filling the ground.
"Wait a minute. β
Xi De, who was carrying out the door at his feet, was slightly stunned when he heard Xiao Yan's voice, and when he turned his head, he saw that the face of the person behind the case was extremely solemn and serious, Xi De did not dare to delay, and quickly closed the door and walked forward quickly.
"Your Highness, what else do you command? β
The words fell, but Xiao Yan suddenly raised his hand, Xide was stunned for a while, when he saw Xiao Yan raise his eyes to look at him, he suddenly understood, and hurriedly handed back the letter in his hand to Xide.
Xiao Yan took it lightly, but then naturally handed the letter to the candle flame, only to see that the yellowish flame shook slightly because of the contact of the letterhead, and the next moment, the tongue of fire suddenly swallowed the envelope, only to see that the corner of the envelope quickly burned, and the flame spread little by little.
"Your Highnessβ"
Xi De was shocked, but saw that Xiao Yan was not moved at all, but his hands were quite leisurely, seeing that the flames had spread most of the time, a white envelope was burned into black ashes, only a light blow, it would fly up, the next moment, Xiao Yan casually threw away, and the envelope that was about to be burned fell on the smooth marble floor like a mirror, only to see the last roll of the flame tongue, the last remaining envelope was burned clean, and it was never seen again.
Xiao Yan withdrew his hand lightly, his eyes condensed slightly, and then he opened his lips and said: "Quietly tell Yan Weizhang what Lingbao said, and tell Yan Weizhang that since he promised this king that he would be able to suppress this matter, then this king will wait and see." β
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xide immediately understood, and instead lowered his head and said respectfully: "The slave will go now." β
As soon as the words fell, Xi De turned around and walked out, and with the sound of footsteps, Xiao Yan watched the humble back disappear into the room little by little, until the door opened, and when it closed again, a pool of moonlight was obscured.
His mother, who thought she was smart, is still locked up in Beiyuan waiting for death, such a lesson from the past really makes him have to guard against it, since he wants to be in danger, then let others go, and he must sit here and give birth to a game of chess with his nephew.
Yan Weizhang is a good chess piece, if it is not a last resort, he doesn't want to use it easily, but now, this cold arrow is shooting at them unabashedly, obviously to send it to his chest, the people who know about Jiangsu and Zhejiang are only Yan Weizhang knows that the letter of others, even if it is sent to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, no one will believe it, so only Yan Weizhang will ghostwrite for him.
Hopefully, his caution is unnecessary.
"Your Highnessβ"
A voice suddenly sounded outside the hall, Xiao Yan frowned slightly, and said a little indifferently: "What's the matter?"
The servant outside the door heard Xiao Yan's hesitation, and was much more cautious in his words.
"Back to His Royal Highness, Concubine Zheng is here. β
Hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately loosened his brows, his eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of tenderness, and he sat up and said outward, "Please come in." β
As soon as the words fell, the door was gently pushed open, and the next moment, I saw a young woman with a bright face walking in, carrying a food box in her hand, and walked to the front of the case, raised her head without shame, and said with a bright smile: "Lord Wang." β
Xiao Yi stood up when he heard this, stepped forward and gently helped the woman up, gently reached out and scraped the tip of the woman's delicate nose, her eyebrows and eyes were full of warmth, and her tone was even more spoiling.
"It's not like that, call me Kuro. β
Concubine Zheng's eyebrows were full of bright smiles when she heard this, and then she walked behind Xiao Yi's hand towards the bookcase.
"The concubine made some lotus seed soup for Jiulang, and Jiulang tasted it. β
The corners of the woman's mouth raised a girlish smile, seeing Xiao Yan smiling and nodding, she immediately folded her sleeves happily, took out the soup cup, served a bowl for Xiao Yan, and then took a spoonful and handed it to Xiao Yan's mouth.
Xiao Yan tasted it with a smile, and during the taste, he could already see that the woman's eyes were full of caution and expectation, and a small mouth like a cherry blossom moved, and finally couldn't help but ask, "How is Jiulang?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned and blurted out, "Bitter." β
"Bitter?"
The woman was slightly stunned, and a little nervously scooped a spoonful of Xiao Yan's hand and put it in her mouth, and in the aftertaste, she only felt sweet and fragrant, not bitter.
"Is there something wrong with the concubine's tongue, or is it Jiulang's-"
The woman frowned and thought about it, but when she looked up, she saw the narrow smile in Xiao Yan's eyes, and immediately understood, pursed her mouth angrily, and turned her head quite unhappily and said, "You are teasing me again." β
Xiao Yan smiled dotingly when he heard this, and then locked the woman firmly into his arms and sat down.
"What you do is bitter, and to me it is sweet. β
When the woman heard this, she couldn't hold it anymore, the corners of her lips were delicately hooked, and then she turned to hook Xiao Yan's neck and asked, "How is my brother in Xuanfu now?"
Xiao Yan heard this, the corners of his lips hooked, and he said very leisurely: "Your brother is a general, come forward to report, he has won several battles in a row, and when he returns to Beijing in the future, I am afraid that it is not a problem to be crowned the king and worship the marquis, are you happy?"
When the woman heard this, she immediately raised the corners of her mouth happily and said, "The concubine is naturally happy." β
Hearing this, Xiao Yan gently touched the woman's hair, the smile on the corner of her lips became deep and unclear little by little, and the color in her eyes also flickered brightly and darkly.
The beauty in her arms is like a warm jade, for Xiao Yan, it is not only a flower of interpretation, but also a sharp weapon.
Now outsiders know that he has a new side concubine, but they don't know the true identity of this side concubine.
It seems that his side concubine is just the daughter of a small four-grade etiquette official, but in essence, this little daughter's family can be regarded as the sister of a rising star on the battlefield of Xuanfu today.
It turned out that Zheng Yao, the side concubine in Xiao Yan's arms, was now Gu Jingming's deputy general and Zheng Wen's younger sister. At that time, Zheng Wen and Zheng Yao's mother was just a dowry girl who followed the main mother to marry her husband's family, because of her beautiful appearance, when the main mother was pregnant, she was secretly asked by the master of the family, and later waited until she was pregnant and gave birth to Zheng Wen.
Zheng Wen's mother was accepted as a concubine, although she was extremely favored, but the housewife was a powerful figure, openly and secretly making things difficult for Zheng Wen's mother and son, and then when Zheng Wen's mother gave birth to Zheng Yao's daughter, the mother and son were also struggling to live under the obscenity of the housemother.
It is precisely because of this that Zheng Wen is extremely fond of Zheng's sister, but he never thought that when Zheng Wen's father died of illness, the housewife immediately turned her face and wanted to drive Zheng Wen's mother and son out of the house.
But the mother did not give birth, and under the pressure of the elders of the family, she had to leave Zheng Wen in the house, adopt him as an adopted son, and inherit the family business.
Zheng Yao and her mother had nowhere to go, so they had to find a new mansion and sell themselves as slaves, fortunately, her mother took her as a concubine because she was favored by the lord of the new mansion, and at the same time regarded Zheng Yao as her own and accepted her as a daughter. Although they are not rich and rich, the mother and daughter can be regarded as having a place to live.
Later, Zheng Wengong became famous and had his own mansion, and he originally wanted to invite his mother to return home, but he never thought that his mother had a difficult life, and finally wanted to follow her son to enjoy happiness, but she died suddenly, leaving Zheng Yao alone.
Because Zheng Yao is not related to the people in Nafu, the reason is that his mother still has a foothold, and when his mother goes, it will be a little strange to keep it.
And just when Zheng Wen wanted to take this sister back to the house and rely on him for his life, Xiao Yan appeared, not only marrying this Zheng Yao into the mansion, but also collecting thousands of favors, and everyone in the back house hated Zheng Yao, but Xiao Yan protected Zheng Yao very well.
Zheng Wen was not only grateful for Xiao Yan's promotion, but also moved by Xiao Yan's love for his young sister, so he became more and more loyal to Xiao Yan, and he had reached the point of swearing to serve to the death.
However, he didn't know that since he entered Xiao Yan's eyes, Xiao Yan had the intention to cultivate him as his own secret chess, so he had already touched his previous things cleanly, and this gaze naturally fell on Zheng Yao.
Because Xiao Yan knows very well that Zheng Yao is the weakness of Zheng Wen's life.
