Chapter 170: The Little Court of Lin'an
"That doesn't make sense! I asked Ruying and Hongqing to find someone, but now they say that they left to find medicine for their mother, and no one will believe it! Xie Zhaolin felt that Xiao Qian's arrangement was not proper for the first time, but she had already boarded the ship to Lin'an, even if she had to rush back, it would take a lot of time, and more importantly, how to explain the few days she had disappeared?
"You don't have to worry about this, I will naturally make arrangements, you just need to know that your father can accept this statement. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Someone happened to bring a bowl of bird's nest porridge, Xiao Qian took it and stirred it, thinking it was not too hot, so he pushed it to Xie Zhaolin.
This heart-warming action that made Xie Zhaolin warm in the past could no longer attract her attention today, she only threw a pair of dark eyes at Xiao Qian, wanting to turn some clues from his face.
It's a pity that Xiao Qian, who was a little comfortable with Xie Zhaolin in the past, still has that cold face at this time, without any fluctuations, and he can't see any trace from it.
But even so, with Xie Zhaolin's understanding of Xiao Qian, she intuitively felt that the other party must have something to hide from her, and it was a big deal.
That's it, Xiao Qian's mouth is tight, he can't open it with a shovel! Xie Zhaolin knew this very well, so he could only shut up, picked up the spoon and drank it without taking a sip, but obviously with some resentment, which cooled down the atmosphere in the room.
In the next few days, the two also had a cold war like this, and they didn't say a few words when they met, and they dragged on until they got off the boat.
Finally arrived in Lin'an, Lin'an is one of the most prosperous cities in the south of Daxing Dynasty, known as the small capital city. Of course, some people call it the Little Imperial Court.
If the previous small capital was to praise Lin'an City for its prosperity like Shengjing, then this small court is not a title to be proud of.
Being able to dominate one side in Lin'an and be called a small court is enough to explain the intentions of the officials in this place and the threat to the imperial court here, no wonder Qin Qixiang is always very uneasy about this place.
It's not just Eagle Pavilion, but there are many more reasons. And if the Eagle Pavilion is defeated and is regarded as a support by many people, it will inevitably deter these people with evil intentions, which is the real goal that Qin Qixiang wants to achieve.
Xie Zhaolin walked through the crowd with Xiao Qian, looking at the lively scene of grinding shoulders one after another, and the noisy human voices kept flowing in his ears, so he thought.
"Can you keep up?" Xiao Qian suddenly stopped, almost letting Xie Zhaolin hit his hard back! He broke the cold war that had been going on for days and took the initiative to ask.
Xie Zhaolin came back to his senses at this time, rubbed his nose, lowered a pair of dark eyes, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, it's just a bit of a lot." ā
Xiao Qian looked at her for a long time, and suddenly stretched out his long hand, grabbed her sleeve and left, and then walked into a restaurant.
Xie Zhaolin looked up and saw that it was actually an outbuilding! Thinking back to the many places I just passed by, they are all similar to those in the capital, are the feelings being imitated?
Or rather...... There is a desire to replace! Thinking about it like this, he stood at the door for a long time, and Xiao Er noticed them, ran over and said to Xiao Qian: "Xiao Gongzi, I haven't seen you here for a long time, or is it an old place?" An old dish? ā
"Hmm." Xiao Qian gave full play to his cold attitude towards outsiders, leaving only one um and went straight to the second floor.
Fortunately, the people in the dry restaurant industry have always been able to endure a lot, Xiao Qian seems to be a frequent customer, the little second brother will naturally not be unhappy, he laughed dryly twice, saw Xie Zhaolin who had been standing behind, and asked, "This girl, do you want it?" ā
"Oh, I'm with Xiao Gongzi."
"Please, the second room on the right on the second floor." Xiao Er saw that Xiao Qian had run away, so he kindly proposed.
Xie Zhaolin nodded and smiled, then walked to the second floor, and entered the second elegant house on the right, where someone was already serving tea and pouring water for him.
"Come and see, how is the scenery here compared to the capital?" Xiao Qian didn't look back, holding a fan that he didn't know where it came from, holding his chin, looking out of the window, while waving to Xie Zhaolin, as if the previous Cold War was an illusion.
Xie Zhaolin stopped twisting and pinching, walked over and looked at the scenery outside the window, and saw that there were some cars flowing like dragons, so he was not interested, and casually picked up a cloud cake and ate it: "It's the same." ā
"Isn't it the same? In that case, one less would not make a difference! Xiao Qian unfolded the fan suddenly, covering most of his face, leaving only a pair of eyes outside, but the message in his words was exposed because of these eyes.
It was a kind of gaze full of ambition and ambition, like a poisonous snake, like a cunning fox, cold and dangerous, it was a look that Xie Zhaolin had never seen!
"You...... Want to rebel? Xie Zhaolin didn't know if he was stupid, his brain was like paste, so he asked such a sentence that shouldn't be asked.
Xiao Qian's eyes narrowed, she almost had the illusion that she was about to be killed!
"Heh, do you think that if the emperor really passed on the country to the crown prince, he would be able to keep it for a few years?" Xiao Qian suddenly laughed again, this smile broke the tense atmosphere like a magic barrier just now, and also made Xie Zhaolin's heart hanging in his throat relax.
She put her hand on the desk and began to think about the question seriously, as if if she could give a good explanation, Xiao Qian would be able to dispel his terrible thoughts.
"Then what if the third prince succeeds to the throne?" Xie Zhaolin thought about it for a long time, thinking back to all kinds of rumors about the prince and the facts he saw with his own eyes, he had to admit that with the prince's appearance, it was difficult to keep the country for half a year!
"The Third Prince? Then he's going to rebel! It's all a rebellion anyway, who doesn't make it? Besides, in terms of qualifications, he can't be ranked. Now he looks stronger than the crown prince, and he is not necessarily a good emperor. ā
"On qualifications? Is he not qualified enough? They are all the emperor's sons, and the prince is that kind of person, so don't care about the eldest son! Besides, he is not a son-in-law, and if he really wants to fight, he is not qualified. ā
Indeed, the biological mother of the crown prince Qin Yan is just a concubine, if it weren't for Qin Qixiang's efforts, this prince would really not be his turn to do it, and Qin Jue would be better than him in every aspect.
"Forget it, you don't understand, let's eat, take a good rest these days, and be busy in the next few days." Xiao Qian stared at her for a long time, but finally swallowed some of the words and picked up the dishes for Xie Zhaolin with chopsticks.
What kind of braised bamboo shoots, what sweet and sour lotus root slices, and picked up a big bowl full of them, which made Xie Zhaolin suspect that she would not be able to eat it.
"Eat well, and then go to the Seven Star Palace with me in a few days." Xiao Qian muttered.
