Walking out of the Lama Temple, being blown by the cool breeze outside, Xu Yan felt a little chill down his spine.

He savored Emperor Huiping's words, and only felt a headache - the eldest princess of Leyang was raised under the knees of the queen mother, and she grew up with Prince Zhaoming, and her brother and sister have a deep relationship; And Emperor Huiping was raised by the side of the concubine, even if he was born by a mother, he was not as emotionally as good as them.

Today, Emperor Huiping specially picked out this sentence, what is the intention?

After being the emperor for nearly ten years, Emperor Huiping has always been vigilant in some things, but now that there is a little bit of trouble, she suddenly doubts the eldest princess of Leyang, will it ...... I thought of Prince Zhaoming again.

Once he thought of this, Xu Yan felt that the back of his spine was getting colder and colder.

A fire in the White Crane Tower during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year vaguely involved the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion and the Prince Zhaoming of that year; Previously, Shen Ming went to Yeqin to spy on it, and he also mentioned the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion, but now that the King of Wei is in trouble, the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion has come to intervene again...... These many doubts are placed together, and no one can help but be frightened.

After returning home, he immediately summoned Gu An and asked him to investigate.

By April 20, the news was exactly on Xu Yan's desk.

At the beginning, the letter of King Linjiang was indeed related to Qin Xiong, and the evidence of King Wei also had Qin Xiong's handwriting, these things were not a big deal, what shocked Xu Yan was that he falsely spread the meaning of King Wei to kill Jiang Ge Lao, and then secretly provided evidence to the prince, it was actually a trial of Shi Si, the head of the Wei Palace, named Cui Zhan!

If this name had been left in the past, Xu Yan would not have paid much attention to it-

Cui Xuanli, the current marquis of Ningyuan's Marquis Mansion, likes to wander around in his spare time, if he likes someone who falls in love, he will bring it to the mansion, and with the power of him and the eldest princess, making some arrangements, they are all insignificant small roles. The same is true of this Cui Zhan, but he was even more appreciated by the Hou Ye, so he gave him the surname Cui and arranged to live in the Wei Palace.

Even Emperor Huiping knew about such a thing, and he never cared about it, and Xu Yan would not pay attention to it.

But now he had to pay attention.

Xu Yan quickly asked Gu An and others to investigate the background of this Cui Zhan, and the news he got back was pitiful-

He is seventeen years old this year, and he is usually not too outstanding in the Wei Palace, but because of the relationship between the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, he is quite appreciated by the Wei King. He was brought into the capital by Cui Xuanli three years ago, and then arranged to enter the Wei Palace, as for how the two got married, Cui Zhan's experience before that, he couldn't find out the slightest news!

There must be a demon when things go wrong, just an inconspicuous little person, but his past is so hidden?

Convinced that there was a secret hidden in the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, Xu Yan decided to stop for the time being. If he is spying on the news here, it will inevitably alarm others, if the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion is interested in protecting this Cui Zhan, he will act rashly at this time, wouldn't he be alarmed?

There was too much information contained in these news, and Xu Yan was not sure here, so he did not rashly report it to Emperor Huiping.

However, for the sake of prudence, he asked Gu An to investigate other people in the Cui family who were similar to Cui Zhan's identity, but those people more or less had old news exposed, but Cui Zhan was like a blank piece of paper.

Xu Yan remained silent, and took Shen Yu out of the city to play as usual, and he didn't even bother much about the matter of the "Four Library Canon", and should be thrown to the chief compiler to be responsible.

At the beginning of May, the weather has gradually become hotter, and it is rare to have a rain on this day, which washes away the heat of the past few days, and makes people feel refreshed. Xu Yan took Shen Yu to the Shenyu Pavilion, and when he saw that it was still early, he turned around and went out of the city, planning to go to the Foyin Temple in the West Mountain to listen to the rain, and then go to the mountain col to enjoy the flowers when the weather was fine.

This Foyin Temple is a royal temple, usually not allowed idlers to enter and exit, now come to listen to the rain, just no one to disturb, the most pure.

Who knew that it was a coincidence, Xu Yan and Shen Yan had just arrived at the Foyin Temple, and entered the corridor to hide from the rain, and before they could find the abbot, they saw a group of people walking out of the oncoming Daxiong Treasure Hall.

More than a dozen brightly dressed maids and servants surrounded the noble woman among them, the woman was in the body, full of gems and jade, and the arrogant eyebrows and eyes, she was the current head of the mansion, the eldest princess Huazhen.

She was followed by Huo Zongyuan and Huo Zongqing, two brothers and sisters, and when she looked up, she was opposite Xu Yan and Shen Yan.

Xu Yan is still wearing a dark dark striped robe, his hair is tied up with a golden crown, and he is playing with a string of sandalwood Buddha beads in his hand.

Seeing the eldest princess Huazhen, he was as calm as ever, but subconsciously put his hand on Shen Yan's shoulder, which was a protective posture. Although he is a military person, he prohibits in the army, is solemn and calm, but in private, he likes to be casual and unrestrained like Shen Yan, so he doesn't bring many attendants to hang out on rainy days, except for Gu An, there are only Sui Zhu and Shi Nan, each holding an umbrella that has just been put away, and the team is simple.

On the other hand, the group of maids and wives were followed by the servants who were serving Huo Zongyuan and Huo Zongqing, and dozens of people surrounded the three masters, like stars holding the moon.

The eldest princess Huazhen had a bad face, and after a pause, she looked straight at Shen Fei-

Because of Huo Zongyuan's incident, the eldest princess Huazhen almost hated Xu Yan and Shen Yan to death, and only sent someone to send a congratulatory gift on the day of the wedding, and she didn't even show her face. She happened to be outside the city on the day of the Buddha Bathing Festival, and she couldn't rush over, so this was the first time she saw Shen Yu.

From the hollow flying phoenix gold on the top of her head, to the cloud fei makeup satin woven colorful flower flying butterfly brocade on her body, and then the wisps of gold and butterflies wearing a flower cloud satin skirt under the bottom, when her eyes quickly swept over, the eldest princess Huazhen couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, quite sneering.

"This is Princess Duan?" She slowly moved a few steps, and stood condescendingly on the pedestal and looked at Shen Yan. Behind her was the curling Buddha smoke in the hall, but there was no mercy and kindness on her face, and Huo Zongqing had someone behind her, so he immediately stepped forward and sneered: "Isn't it, Uncle Duanwang is baby." ”

"Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." Shen Yu greeted her.

The lady in front of her is older than Mrs. Shen, she is Xu Yan's sister, and the etiquette cannot be abolished.

The eldest princess of Huazhen snorted lightly, ignored her, but looked at Xu Yan, "How good is my vision as a fifth brother, I must be a peerless beauty when I am angry at the crown, it turns out that it is nothing more than that." She didn't care about Xu Yan's feelings at all, and said clearly: "The little family is full of anger!" ”

"The posture of Pu Liu made the eldest princess smile." Shen Yan's face did not change, and she stood side by side with Xu Yan, "But since Your Highness is here to worship the Buddha in the Buddhist Temple, you must have heard of it, there is goodness in your heart, everything you see is good, there is evil in your heart, and everything you see is evil." ”

The eldest princess of Huazhen never thought that Shen Yu would actually contradict her, and she was extremely surprised.

In her opinion, Shen Yu is a nameless and nameless cloth-clothed people, since she has tried her best to win Xu Yan's favor and climb to the position of Princess Duan, she naturally wants to tremble, make all her gestures, pretend to be virtuous and gentle, so as to please Xu Yan and the royal family.

But Shen Yan had no scruples, and in front of Xu Yan, she retaliated with a tooth for a tooth to her, the noble eldest princess?

The girl from the poor countryside is really a girl who doesn't know the sky! The eldest princess of Huazhen couldn't help but be furious.

She was born in the royal family, she has received the best teaching in the world since she was a child, and she has age and experience there, and when it comes to knowledge, she is better than Shen Yu and I don't know how much. In addition, he has been immersed in the palace for many years, and when he was a child, he was used to seeing the corners of the mouths of the group of women in the palace fighting, so naturally he would not be caught in by such a little wit, and when his color sank, he would be angrily reprimanded.

It's a pity that Xu Yan knows how to take advantage of the victory to chase and maintain morale, and doesn't give the eldest princess any chance to refute and turn the situation back, so she spoke first, and her voice was loud, "The imperial sister didn't like to worship Buddha the most, but today Yaxing came over, could it be-" His eyes glanced at Huo Zongyuan, "Poked the basket again?" ”

This is a blatant poke at the sore spot, and the anger in the heart of the eldest princess Huazhen has increased even more.

She didn't have time to sarcastically mock Shen Yan, so she only sneered: "How dare you, if you run into the fifth brother again, you won't know if you lose your life!" ”

This sneer was full of anger, and the eldest princess Huazhen walked down the steps and stood in front of Xu Yan.

When she went back to Duanwang's Mansion, because the big eunuch Duan Bao was there, she didn't dare to make a fuss, and she didn't say many words clearly, just at this time, she was prestigious, "The ferociousness and majesty of the fifth brother have long been heard of as a sister, but as the saying goes, everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, the Huo family is such a lone seedling, no matter the Taifu, or the queen, and I don't want him to encounter ups and downs, if you are so arrogant again, don't blame the Huo family for being ruthless!" “

Both of them were royal nobles, each with arrogant qualifications, and at this time, the needle pointed to Mai Mang, but the abbot was at a loss, and silently retreated to the back.

In the back, Huo Zongyuan was obedient, and he didn't come out to make trouble unusually, but just stood behind people, and his eyes only roamed around Shen Yan.

Shen Yan didn't have time to take care of him, she was only angry when she collided just now, dissatisfied with the eldest princess's plain picking, and at this time, seeing this situation, she was a little worried.

Xu Yan's face remained unchanged, and even a little heavier.

He has been fighting on the battlefield for several years, and what he is most accustomed to is-for-tat and clear fighting strength. He couldn't look down on the methods used by the eldest princess Huazhen to sue Emperor Huiping behind her back, but now she said it to her face like this, and she did things in front of the gong and drum, but it was right for Xu Yan's appetite.

He didn't give up half a step, and held Shen Yu's hand in his palm, which was thick and powerful.

"Since the imperial sister is clear, I also have a word of advice." His gaze pressed over heavily, "Shen Yu is the love of my life, I won't let her suffer the slightest grievance, if anyone dares to touch her, she will be returned a hundred times!" ”

"You!" The eldest princess of Huazhen is angry. In terms of age, she is more than 20 years older than Xu Yan, but Xu Yan has a straight posture, coupled with the invisible majesty and ruthlessness after the battlefield experience, she actually outperformed her in terms of momentum.

The two of them were in a stalemate, who knew that the door of the small hall next to them suddenly opened, and Shi Shiran walked out, and it was the eldest princess of Leyang, who rarely showed up! As soon as she appeared, everyone present was surprised, they didn't expect things to be so coincidental, and the three of them would meet here.

The eldest princess of Leyang still had that gentle appearance, and walked forward with a few maids and persuaded: "I have also heard about Zong Yuan's matter, and the fifth brother is also a little ruthless, no wonder Hua is really distressed." I heard that Zong Yuan's ribs were broken, and he didn't look like a man when he was sent to the capital, where did a good noble son suffer those hardships, you, who are an uncle, don't say take care of him, but do so ruthlessly, it's really wrong. ”

- She is the same age as the eldest princess Huazhen, and her feelings are not salty or light, and since she has the title, she is rarely called a sister.

When Xu Yan heard this, he sneered in his heart.

Where is this persuasion, it is clearly fanning the flames!

He originally wanted to stop the matter, but now that he saw that the eldest princess of Leyang had been involved recently, his mind changed, but he said coldly: "The events of that day, if I had changed others, I would have already been crushed!" As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Huo Zongyuan, who was hiding behind the crowd, "Come here!" ”

Huo Zongyuan couldn't hide behind the eldest princess for a long time, so he could only move over □□ step by step, lowering his head.

Xu Yan raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and suddenly lifted his chin, and stared at him, "You, me, and Grandma were all present on that day, and you said it yourself, should you be severely punished." ”
