This is a garden-style inn, Duanwang and others live in an independent attic called the style to the pavilion, surrounded by rockery flowers and trees, very quiet and quiet. Duanwang lives in the best position, open the window, behind is a huge locust tree, this season locust flowers bloom and fall, the night breeze still has the elegant fragrance of locust flowers.

Xu Yan stared out, and the windows of the next few rooms were closed, but no one paid attention to the situation in the garden.

He nodded, and a black shadow suddenly appeared from the locust tree, drifting into the window like a gust of wind, without making the slightest movement.

The shadow was a young man in his early twenties, wrapped around his body in a night robe, and his slender body was long. His face was hidden behind a delicate thin gold mask, and when he saw Xu Yan, he knelt on one knee and whispered, "Shen Ming greets the prince." ”

"Hurry up." Xu Yan stretched out his hand to help him up and motioned for him to sit on the chair opposite.

There were only two of them in the room at this time, and Xu Yan didn't bend around the bend, and asked, "Have you seen your father and sister?" ”

Shen Ming nodded, his mask was cold and hard, without any emotion.

He paused and said in a low voice, "Thank you for taking care of your father and sister." ”

"As it should be." Xu Yan handed over a cup of tea, "What's the situation over there?" ”

"The Sect Master passed away a few days ago, and these days there have been many turmoil, and several elders are not at ease. However, according to the information I have obtained, Elder Jingyuan has gained the upper hand, and the position of sect leader must be in the bag. He suddenly knelt down on one knee, took out a brown projectile from his sleeve, and presented it to Xu Yan with both hands.

Xu Yan took the projectile, took the tea and melted it for a while, removed the thin clothes outside, and inside was a piece of plain brocade, and the small characters on it were dense. He glanced at it without looking at it carefully, first tucked it in his sleeve, and then asked, "What about King Linjiang, has there been any movement recently?" ”

The king of Linjiang is the emperor's uncle today, and his fief is in Zhending Province, although he only has the position of the king of the county, and he does not have much power in the court, but he is a member of the royal family after all, and he has a status in Zhending Province.

In front of this prince, Shen Ming didn't hesitate at all, but said: "King Linjiang has sent a lot of news to the sect, and he should be supporting Elder He. ”

"It's quick to see the opportunity." Xu Yan sneered, "Be sure to support Jingyuan, don't fall short!" ”

"Yes!" Shen Ming arched his hand, "At the end of the year at the latest, there will be good news." ”

Xu Yan let out a "hmm", with a slight smile on his face, Shen Ming didn't linger, still pushed the window out, and jumped into the dense locust branches.

Through the slanted foliage, you can see the lights flickering in the room around the corner, and Shen Ping's shadow casts on the window, as if pacing in contemplation.

Shen Ming lingered for a moment, then looked away and disappeared into the night.

Soon after he left, Qin Yu came in a hurry with Lang Zhong.

At this time, Xue Ning's abdominal pain gradually "healed", the fine sweat on her forehead had long been gone, and she sat on the bed with her knees crossed, quite resentful. Shen Yu sat leisurely at the table, sipping tea slowly, as if she didn't notice Xue Ning's knife constantly slashing at her back.

Seeing that Langzhong came in, Xue Ning hurriedly asked someone to put down the gauze tent, Zisui hurriedly greeted him, and smiled apologetically: "Thank you Gongzi Qin for bothering, the girl has been well after eating the vegetarian incense pill, and there is no big problem at this time, but this gentleman has gone in vain." She handed over the small silver bag in her hand, "Sir, let's get some wine and eat." ”

This is what it means to not let the pulse and send the guest directly. Na Langzhong looked at Qin Yu and hesitated.

"It's late at night, sir, please come back early, it's okay here." Xue Ning reiterated through the bed tent.

Qin Yu couldn't see Xue Ning's prevarication, if it was normal, he was not a person who was chasing after him, and he would pass it after a haha. But this time, Xue Ning deliberately provoked the incident, obviously to splash dirty water on Shen Yan, and Qin Yu was also impatient with this, so he had some intention of beating the warning, and did not allow her to be vague.

"I met His Highness when I came in just now." He stood in place, but his eyes were on Xue Ning in the tent, "Your Highness said that there is still a long way to go, and I am afraid that there will be something wrong with the girl's body and delay the trip, so I asked Lang Zhong to go to him after checking the pulse, so as to reassure people." ”

He moved out of His Royal Highness Duanwang, Xue Ning didn't believe it or not, it was difficult to refuse. After a while, she whispered, "Zisui, take the scarf!" There was a lot of anger in the tone.

Na Langzhong was a little restrained by this situation, but he still went to sit down, and after checking the pulse through the tent, he said: "The girl's body is not abnormal, she is very healthy, and the son can rest assured." ”

When Xue Ning heard this, she hurriedly withdrew her hand, but Qin Yu asked, "This girl has unbearable abdominal pain just now, is she okay at this time?" ”

Lang Zhong said: "I'm afraid it's because I don't adapt to the water and soil, I have abdominal pain for a while, and I don't have any symptoms." ”

"Are you clear? Didn't you eat something bad? Shen Yu asked aloud beside her, with a little smile.

"The old man has been practicing medicine for many years, where can such a trivial matter be diagnosed." Lang Zhong smiled, "The food that the girl has eaten these days is all right. ”

Qin Yu nodded at this time, glanced at Shen Yu, and each sneered. Xue Ning had already quietly stopped talking, Zi Sui's face was also quite embarrassed, Qin Yu and Shen Yu also knew the truth of "poor Kou Mo chase", and they didn't say much at the moment, and asked someone to send Lang Zhong back, and they each went back to rest.

The next morning, as usual, Xue Ning even smiled and said that the morning light was good, as if he had completely forgotten what happened last night.

Shen Yu was made a fuss by Xue Ning last night for no reason, and she rested late, and when she saw Xue Ning, she was not angry, and she didn't understand her well, so she went to talk to Qin Yu instead.

The door of the wind to the pavilion is a flower garden, the edge of the flower garden is the verandah, under the corridor there are some flower baskets, lanterns, bird cages, the hooves of the birds in the cage are crisp, slowly walk over, the morning breeze sends the fragrance of flowers, but it makes people feel a lot better.

Because Qin Yu was strictly controlled by Qin Xiong, he usually couldn't go to the song house and dance shop like Dong Shujin did, so he gradually developed a hobby of teasing birds in the court, and he also raised many birds at home. At this time, the two of them were strolling, and Qin Yu introduced it to Shen Yu in detail.

Shen Yu didn't know much about this way, she only knew that the sound of hooves was nothing more than thrushes and larks, and as for those with bright coats, she didn't know anyone except parrots, so Qin Yu taught her to distinguish which was the hibiscus bird and which was the pearl bird.

When Xu Yan walked out of the Fenglai Pavilion, he saw the scene of teenagers and girls watching birds side by side.

Shen Yu was dressed up in a long gown with her hair tied most of the time, and it was rare to wear her daughter's dress today, so she looked particularly good. Qin Yu didn't know what he was talking about, so Shen Yu's eyes were glued to the colorful feathered bird, her smile bloomed like a spring flower, and she had to turn her head and ask a few words from time to time, as if there was no one around.

Next to the birdcage are two pots of lush Ori Orchid, her pretty and delicate face hidden behind the green and tender leaves, particularly smart and lively.

Xu Yan's gaze couldn't help but stagnate, and it wasn't until Xue Wanrong stepped forward and called "Lord Wang" that he came back to his senses.

Today, everyone is going to visit Fan Wenzheng, a famous book collector, Xu Yan and Xue Wanrong don't have much expectation for this, but Shen Yan's father and daughter are full of excitement.

Although this Fan Wenzheng's collection of books is only 20,000 volumes, all of them are rare books that are carefully calibrated, and the quality of the books in his collection is even higher than that of Shen Ping, so he cherishes the books very much and does not let outsiders read them.

The Fan family's library building is also exquisitely repaired, and a small exquisite attic is hidden between the rockery pools, avoiding fire and water, and it is quiet and quiet.

Fan Wenzheng is stubborn, although King Duan is here, but he refuses to let go, Ren Xue Wanrong and Shen Ping said it in the hall, that attitude still seems perfunctory, and he is not willing to give away the book.

Xu Yan stayed in the hall for a while, felt very bored, and proposed to go to the study building to go around.

After all, he was the prince of the dynasty, no matter how stubborn Fan Wenzheng was, he would not even refuse this request, so he had to ask the housekeeper to accompany King Duan in person, and he still had the meaning of staring at the point. Xu Yan didn't care, and when he passed by Shen Yan's side, he stopped and asked, "Do you want to go and have a look?" ”

"Is that okay?" Shen Yu was overjoyed.

The Fan family's study building is light and no one is allowed to enter, and even the Fan family has to go through Fan Wenzheng's nod before they can enter, let alone outsiders with different surnames.

After all, Shen Yan didn't dare to offend the master's family, so she wanted to see Fan Wenzheng's attitude, but Xu Yan had already turned her head to Fan Wenzheng and said loudly: "There's nothing wrong with this, right?" ”

Even if Fan Wenzheng was not happy, he could only bow down and smile and say, "According to the prince's orders." ”

Shen Yu was overjoyed in her heart, and she smiled. Although she didn't know much about Xu Yan, she also knew that he was not interested in collecting books.

If that's the case, then I really have to thank His Royal Highness King Duan!

Shen Yu happily followed Xu Yan out of the door, and when she arrived at the door of the study building, she looked back and found that Qin Yu and Xue Ning had also followed at some point. The housekeeper saw that there were three more cheap people, but he didn't dare to offend the prince, so he could only let it go.

And no matter what the mood of others, Shen Yu entered this study building, it was like a fish in water, and as soon as she got into the bookshelf, she completely forgot her feelings.

There are many rare books in this library, some of which Shen Yu has never seen before, although it is a bit rude to go against Fan Wenzheng's wishes to force other people's collections, but the temptation is too great, as soon as Shen Yan opens the bookcase, she can no longer hold it.

Just as she was looking seriously, she suddenly felt something next to her suddenly rushing towards her, Shen Yan subconsciously leaned back to dodge, but still didn't dodge the gray thing, there was a sharp scratch pain on her cheeks, she reached out and touched it, and saw that her fingertips were already stained with blood.
