Chu Liuxiang was full of doubts, and glanced to the side from the corner of his eye from time to time, but in the end, he couldn't hold back, and leaned into Yan Xiubai's ear and whispered, "What's wrong with Yan Xiaogongzi?

That expression, that look, the bubble of joy that came out of his body, even a blind man could see that he must be very happy now, very happy, incomparably happy, which was not at all consistent with the usual unsmiling Yan Changsheng.

Yan Xiubai's hand holding the cup paused, and before he could speak, the people next to him came up, separated the two people who were too close to each other, and glared at Chu Liuxiang by the way.

The stunned man touched his nose, retreated to a safe distance, and said, "This is too protective......

His voice was not loud, but it was not very small, enough for the other two to hear clearly, Yan Xiubai was a little embarrassed, he always felt that the other party must have seen something, he glanced at Yan Changsheng, the other party's gaze was straightforward and eager, well, with Chu Liuxiang's keenness, he didn't notice it at all.

Yan Xiubai coughed lightly, raised the teacup and moved away from the topic: "Thank you for this matter, I take back the previous sentence, although you and I are still relative, but friends can still be made, otherwise, it's a pity." ”

Chu Liuxiang laughed, "Lord Yan has been my friend for a long time, but I didn't help much this time, and I deserve this thank you." ”

Yan Xiubai waved his hand, "Xiang Shuai has this intention, next time you fall into my hands, I will arrange you in the best cell." ”

Chu Liuxiang laughed.

......

After sending Chu Liuxiang away, the night was already very deep, and Yan Xiubai ate a little, so he pulled Yan Changsheng back step by step.

The moon was round, the stars were twinkling, and the shadows of the two were long.

It should be a very warm scene, but the people around me are very restless, take two steps, jump, take two steps, jump again, just like a real young man, full of youthful vitality.

Yan Xiubai stroked his forehead helplessly, and said, "You can't be more restrained, I always think that Chu Xiangshuai probably saw something." ”

Yan Changsheng took his hand and turned to him, and said as he stepped back: "If you see it, you can see it, just to be seen by him!"

"What to say. Yan Xiubai had a headache, "Our current relationship can't be revealed for the time being." ”

Yan Changsheng stopped instantly, "Why?!" He was unhappy.

"The capital is a place of right and wrong, and now is a critical time, the situation is very complicated, and it is not appropriate to cause too much trouble. ”

Dark eyes stared at him, with no intention of giving in.

Yan Xiubai sighed, looked at no one around, kissed the corner of his lips, and touched his hair to smooth the hair, "Good job, our current situation is not very good, these people in the capital are not fuel-efficient lamps, and when you go back to Haozhou in the future, will you be okay?"

Yan Changsheng finally eased up.

"When will you go back to Haozhou?"

Yan Xiubai was silent, he actually understood that this was probably an unlikely thing, he was now barely the old emperor's new favorite, and he was a chess piece placed by the third prince next to the old emperor, as long as the old emperor was alive for a day, and there was no victory between the eldest prince and the third prince, he would have to be his pawn obediently forever.

He didn't like it, he was a man who liked freedom, and this kind of life of being controlled by others was not what he wanted, but unfortunately he couldn't leave it behind and walk away.

Xu is knot between his eyebrows, Yan Changsheng stepped forward and hugged him, his shaggy hair rubbed against the other party's chin, and he said, "It's okay, I will go back one day, I will help you." ”

Yan Xiubai couldn't see his expression, but his slightly heavy mood just now was softened by this short sentence, and he suddenly felt that in this strange world, it was good to have such a person always by his side.

When the two returned to Yan's mansion, they happened to meet someone from the palace, and it was the old emperor who sent someone to pass the word, saying that he wanted to see Yan Xiubai.

Summoned the ministers late at night, Yu Li did not agree, but the emperor of heaven and earth was the biggest, he said who he wanted to see, not to mention that the palace door was locked in the middle of the night, that is, the person was dying, and he had to climb to see it.

No matter how dissatisfied Yan Changsheng was, he had to hold back, and then watched Yan Xiubai leave with the palace eunuch.

Waiting for everyone to be out of sight, he thought about it, avoided everyone's eyes and ears, and left the Yan Mansion.

Yan Xiubai's brows were furrowed tightly, summoned late at night, it would not be good to think about it, he was a little uneasy in his heart, and secretly stuffed a red envelope into the inner prison who came to deliver the decree, wanting to find out about the situation in the palace, so he could be prepared.

The other party accepted the red envelope, but he didn't say why, and he didn't know anything.

They didn't enter the harem, they still went to ask the fairy building, the inner eunuch led him into the old emperor's resting place, Yan Xiubai stepped into the palace door, and when he passed by the inner eunuch, he secretly gave the red envelope back, it is not easy to support a family, it is not easy to make money, how can it be wasted in an inconsequential place.

As soon as Yan Xiubai entered the inner hall, he was smoked by the fairy aura that filled the room.

He covered his nose and looked around without a trace, the hall was brightly lit, and the fake and shoddy national teacher, together with several Taoist priests and the old emperor, was alchemizing!

That's right, it's alchemy, and not sleeping at night makes the whole hall smoky.

When the old emperor saw him coming, he immediately beckoned him to come over, and praised the elixir he had offered last time, saying that his spirit was obviously much better after eating it.

He knows the medicine he has refined, he still has some confidence in himself in this regard, no matter how bad it is, it is much better than the Taoist priests in this hall, just because of this, Yan Xiubai can barely be regarded as the eyes of the old emperor.

The third watch didn't sleep in the middle of the night, the old emperor seemed to be in good spirits, and even his complexion was much better, but this is strange, with the old emperor's physical condition, it is absolutely impossible to have such a good mental outlook, although his medicine is good, but it is not a real elixir.

Taking advantage of the time when the old emperor pulled him, he touched the other party's wrist without a trace, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly, sure enough, this pulse didn't look like a big problem, but it was weak and weak inside, and it couldn't be worse.

He has been taking pills all year round, and he has accumulated a lot of erysipelas in his body, but this time he is seriously ill and has completely hollowed out his body, how can he be cured by just one pill.

Yan Xiubai didn't plan to cure him, not to mention that he couldn't cure him, no matter how clever the doctor was with the medical skills of the person who ran out of oil and lamp, not to mention that the old emperor had been dying.

Erysipelas is harmful, he doesn't believe that no one in the palace has told the emperor, but this still hasn't dispelled the emperor's desire to ask for immortals.

Although he also got rid of his prison by virtue of this, but looking at the pungent "fairy qi" in this hall, he still sighed, it was like death!

Just when Yan Xiubai was being dragged by the old emperor to cultivate immortals and refine pills together, Yan Changsheng passed through the guards and quietly appeared in the study of the third prince.

Fortunately, the third prince hadn't slept yet, but Rao was like this, and he was still startled by the person who suddenly appeared.

He was deeply jealous again, although he was glad that he had a top master to help, but he was more afraid.

The other party's martial arts are too high, although his mansion cannot be compared with the palace Ouchi, but it can be regarded as heavily guarded, but this person comes and goes freely, if this person wants to take his own life, it is simply easy, how can it not make people afraid.

The only thing to be thankful for is that this man is now working for himself.

"Yan Shaoxia. The third prince got up, although he was afraid in his heart, but the smile on his face was extremely kind, "It's so late, why is Yan Shaoxia here?"

Yan Changsheng didn't like the smile on the face of the third prince, he didn't look good at Yan Xiubai, he was very hypocritical, since he didn't like it, he didn't look at it, he looked away and said straightforwardly: "Yan Xiubai was summoned into the palace by the emperor, have you received any news?"

The third prince really didn't smile, but frowned, and said suspiciously: "Now that the palace gate is closed, according to the rules, no foreign minister can enter the palace." ”

"That's why I came to ask you, is there something going on in the palace!" It was about Yan Xiubai, and Yan Changsheng's eyes inevitably brought some worry.

When the third prince heard it in his ears, he inevitably breathed a sigh of relief, as long as anyone has a weakness, then no matter how high his martial arts are, it can be controlled, not to mention that his weakness is still a member of the Yan family, the Yan family is his confidant, and the third prince suddenly felt relieved.

He thought for a while and said: "Recently, the palace has been calm, there should be no incident, don't worry, I will enter the palace early tomorrow morning to investigate." ”

Yan Changsheng snorted coldly, he will only wait until tomorrow, if he can't see anyone tomorrow, he will go into the palace to find it by himself, for him, it is not a difficult matter!

"When will you become emperor?"

Yan Changsheng's sudden words startled the third prince, his eyes lit up, and he almost immediately retorted: "Yan Shaoxia said cautiously, my father is still alive, and such a rebellious word will punish the nine clans!"

Sneer-Yan Changsheng lowered his eyelids, concealed the disdain in his eyes, and said: "There are only you and me here, the third prince didn't have such a high-sounding appearance when he asked me to kill, could it be that I have lost my eyes, Your Highness really doesn't have that ambition?!"

The third prince coughed dryly, seemed to be a little embarrassed, and he said in a deep voice: "As the son of the father, I naturally want that position, even if I don't fight, the eldest prince's knife hangs over my head all the time, and I have to fight, but the father is still here, some things can't be said clearly after all, Yan Shaoxia is young, and he must be cautious." ”

Sure enough, hypocrisy, hypocrisy!

Yan Changsheng restrained his impatience and said, "I'm a person in the rivers and lakes, I don't understand your ways, I can only kill people!" You just need to tell me, when will you be the emperor?!"

The third prince looked nervous, his mouth opened and closed, and finally whispered: "I can decide this matter, Your Majesty is still here, and the eldest prince is firmly pressed on my head, no matter how much I want that position, I can't get it casually." "The throne is not a cabbage on the side of the road, how can you have it if you want it?!

Yan Changsheng's face condensed, and a wisp of dark red slowly appeared under his eyes, "What if the two that pressed on your head died?"

The third prince's eyes widened suddenly, and his mouth was open enough to fly into five flies, and the whole person was stunned, unprecedented gaffe.

"You...... You .........."

"I said, I don't understand your twists and turns, but I'm going to kill! ”

"What's the matter...... the third prince instinctively asked.

"After you become the emperor, transfer Yan Xiubai back to Haozhou, and let him be the prefect of Haozhou again. ”

The third prince was dumbfounded, "That's it?"

"That's it!"

"You have to think clearly, once I ascend the throne, add an official to the knighthood, and I can give you the title of marquis and prime minister, or I can give him ......" is really shabby with a prefect.

"I just need this!" Yan Changsheng's voice was firm.

It wasn't until the person had been gone for a long time that the third prince slowly came to his senses, and the whole person was frightened and looking forward to ecstasy, of course he hoped that the other party's martial arts could really get things done, then what he had thought about for decades could be at his fingertips, but he felt contradictory in his heart that how could this be successful, no matter how high his martial arts were.

However, whether it is successful or not, there is no loss for him, and the relationship between him and Yan Changsheng is not known to anyone other than the two of them, even Yan Huaiqing does not know, even if the other party fails, he can't find out about him.

And once he succeeds, all he needs to pay is the position of a prefect, thinking of Yan Changsheng's slightly immature face, the third prince has some sympathy, he is really a fool, it's too easy to deceive! 166 Reading Network
