On the way of the general [08]

"Can you explain to me what's going on?"

The night before she married He Xiyuan, Han Yanran lay on the bed and kept turning over, but she couldn't sleep. She was about to take a drink when the window of her room suddenly opened.

Han Yanran was startled, she must have been shocked to see that it was a man wearing black clothes with his face covered. She knew that this was Shan Lingyan coming, and there would be no one else but him.

"Master!" Seeing that it was Shan Lingyan, Han Yanran immediately became respectful.

Shan Lingyan entered the room, took off his mask, threw a red invitation on the table, and questioned Han Yanran.

A few days ago, he received this invitation, and he was really angry. I only met her more than half a month ago, and I didn't even know about it.

He didn't expect that she would marry He Xiyuan, and so soon. It came so suddenly that he was a little caught off guard. Originally, he should have come over to ask for clarification, but there were too many things in and out of the palace.

Recently, there have been signs of invasion by foreign enemies, and the undercover agent he sent there reported that the Liao people have been making small moves recently and have sent one of their princesses here.

Therefore, he has been busy deploying, and if the Liao soldiers really attack the city, then he will become the hero of this dynasty. Then, in the future, this throne will belong to him.

Just when he kept imagining that he would be above 10,000 people in the future, and imagined that he would definitely take Han Yanran back after becoming the emperor and let her be his favorite concubine, he received an invitation from He Xiyuan himself.

He opened the invitation, and when he looked at the two names on it, his first reaction was that he had read it wrong, and his second reaction was heartache. He didn't expect that she would be married so soon, and she still had to marry He Xiyuan.

At that time, He Xiyuan was standing in front of him, with a happy smile on his face, and said that this made him sure to be on the spot on time when the time came. He could only endure the heartache and wish him happiness.

Han Yanran walked over and picked up what Shan Lingyan had thrown on the table. opened it and took a look, only to know that this was her and He Xiyuan's marriage invitation. Tomorrow she will be the bride, and she doesn't even know that they will get married and have invitations.

Seeing Shan Lingyan so angry, Han Yanran's brain was running rapidly. She had to come up with a perfect rhetoric so that Shan Lingyan not only approved of her wedding with He Xiyuan, but also felt that she was worthy of his trust.

Suddenly, Han Yanran had a way to get the best of both worlds in her brain.

"Excuse me, host...... I didn't expect this to make you so angry. Because recently, because I am about to get married, Mrs. He has always intentionally or unintentionally asked me to stay with He Xiyuan, and I have not been able to report this matter to you. Actually, there is a reason why he married He Xiyuan. Since returning from this battle, He Xiyuan has obviously not been as good to me as he was before. Recently, he has been closer to another maid named Bai Yinan. It just so happened that Mrs. He came to tell me that I have the life of a prosperous husband and can protect He Xiyuan. Therefore, I hope I can marry He Xiyuan as his concubine. Originally, I refused, but then I thought that if I could marry He Xiyuan, I could gain more trust from him for so long. After gaining more trust, it will also be of great help to the owner and your plan. I thought that in the future, if you really want to get rid of He Xiyuan, I can also have a relationship with you. ”

Listening to Han Yanran's words, Shan Lingyan was moved all of a sudden, and he was moved. He unconditionally believed Han Yanran's words, and he believed that Han Yanran would not deceive. At the same time, she did not dare to deceive her.

Like Han Yanran, they are all "children" he has cultivated single-handedly. For them, he is a "devil" who makes them feel fear in their hearts and do not look at disobedience to him.

He walked over and hugged Han Yanran, "Han, I've wronged you, I really thank you for doing so much for me." Believe me, if I can really become the emperor in the future, I will definitely take you back to the palace and let you be my imperial concubine. ”

Han Yanran also hugged Shan Lingyan as well, "No, master." I've never had the luxury of being your princess, as long as I can serve you by your side and help you do what I can, I'm already happy. Even if I want to pay for my life, I will not hesitate to do it. ”

Her words were very sincere, and she was particularly moved in Shan Lingyan's ears.

This girl really loves herself, and what she can do for herself is so much. Such a good girl, who loves herself so wholeheartedly, how could he let her down!

Therefore, Shan Lingyan secretly swore in his heart that even if He Xiyuan was on his side in the future, as long as he became the emperor, the first thing he would do was to kill He Xiyuan and take Han Yanran for himself.

The two of them hugged like this, and Han Yanran felt that her legs were going numb. She thought that she still had something to do, so she whispered, "Master, I have something to report to you. ”

"What's the matter?" Hearing her say that there was something, Shan Lingyan let go of the hand holding Han Yanran. He walked over to the round table and sat down.

Seeing him sit down, Han Yanran hurriedly went over and poured him a cup of tea. Then, he sat next to Shan Lingyan. She said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I've noticed that something has been wrong with He Xiyuan lately. ”

"Something is wrong?"

"Yes. In the past few days, I found that He Chen was not in the house. You also know that He Chen has always been the person He Xiyuan believes in the most, and if he is not in the mansion, He Xiyuan must have given him some task. So, I secretly investigated. Only then did I know that He Xiyuan sent He Chen to Ningzhou, as if to deliver a letter to a woman. ”

After Han Yanran finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something. She stood up, walked over to the door, opened it, and looked outside. After making sure that no one was eavesdropping on her and Shan Lingyan, she came back and sat down.

"I suspect that this woman must be from a lot of background, because He Xiyuan has always been very cautious lately. Moreover, I also investigated that He Xiyuan seems to have some collusion with the Liao people recently. I suspect that the woman He Chen went to see was also a Liao. Han Yanran said what she thought in her heart.

After listening to her words, Shan Lingyan didn't make a sound. He just looked at Han Yanran like this, and Han Yanran was a little weak-hearted.

Her heart kept worrying, could it be that Shan Lingyan found out that she was telling a lie? It's unlikely, she thinks she's telling the truth.

"Master, there is one more thing, I think something is wrong. However, I wonder if it has anything to do with it? ”

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

"Just now, I didn't tell you that since I came back, He Xiyuan has not been very willing to get close to me. On the contrary, is it very close to the maid named Bai Yinan? ”

Shan Lingyan nodded, "Well, keep talking." ”

Han Yanran paused and continued, "Some time ago, I found that Bai Yinan frequently entered and exited He Xiyuan's study. Then, in the last half month, I haven't seen this woman again. ”

"Where did she go?"

"I don't know, this person just disappeared suddenly. I asked the other maids and servants, and they all said they didn't know. ”

Shan Lingyan was silent for a while, and then asked, "Then when did this woman come to the General's Mansion?" ”

"When......" Han Yanran thought for a moment, "If I remember correctly, she didn't come to the General's Mansion." That was when we went out to fight before, and He Xiyuan brought it back from the battlefield. said that his parents died in the war, and then he was alone. He Xianyuan said that she was quite pitiful, so he took her in. ”

"There is indeed something suspicious." Shan Lingyan nodded, and then fell into deep thought.

According to the combination of the information he learned and the information Han Yanran said, Han Yanran did not deceive herself, and what she said was very credible. Therefore, Shan Lingyan relaxed her vigilance against her.

Wait a minute? A woman who suddenly appeared out of nowhere suddenly disappeared again?

Shan Lingyan stood up suddenly, startling Han Yanran.

"Lord, master?"

"I see!" Shan Lingyan suddenly hugged Han Yanran into his arms, his expression was very excited. "You just said, where did He Chen go to deliver the letter?"

"Ningzhou."

"Ningzhou? I see, I see! Han, thank you so much this time, you really made a great contribution! Shan Lingyan was very excited.

Han Yanran had an inexplicable expression, but she was secretly happy in her heart, humming, she was fooled. "It's an honor to be able to help my master."

This night, Shan Lingyan stayed in Han Yanran's room and didn't leave. He and Han Yanran were lying on the same couch, and he hugged Han Yanran tightly, as if he was afraid that she would run away. And Han Yanran didn't say anything, still holding herself by him.

Originally, she was still whispering to Shan Lingyan about some of the troubles she had when she was a child. As she spoke, she felt very sleepy and fell asleep.

The next morning, the sound of a rooster crowing woke Han Yanran. At this time, Shan Lingyan didn't know when he left. Han Yanran touched the place next to him, it was already cold, it seemed that he had left early.

Han Yanran remembered that today was her wedding day, so she hurriedly got up and prepared to freshen up.

At this time, Lilac walked in. There were also several servants, each carrying a bucket of water, which Lilac ordered to pour into a large wooden barrel in the room. And when they had finished, the servants went out.
