Chapter 168: Gaze

He had come not for anything else, but to hold her tightly in his arms and to have a few words with her. As long as that, the loneliness in the chest will leave, and no matter how cold the night is, it will be safe.

Since when has hugging her become such an important thing? As if he was born for this.

The glow of the fire made her face as smooth and moist as white jade.

Her eyes were intently looking at the paper, immersed in the world of the painting.

Yan Jinxuan stood still in the darkness, watching her quietly, like a treasure.

Slowly, he woke up - this was not the time. No matter how much he wanted to hug her, how much he needed her, and how much he wanted to talk to her, he should not be at such a moment. At this moment, he can only cling to loneliness, and it is inappropriate to desire her.

His brother's death was a big warning to him, and he knew that he had to wait for the right moment or it would backfire, so he needed to be patient.

So he took a deep look at her, turned and strode away.

Tomorrow, tomorrow I will have to see her alone when I come back, he said to himself as he walked.

And she in the room did not know that he had come in the dark, when her mind was all about painting.

When she finished drawing, she was so sleepy that she didn't have time to think about anything before she fell asleep.

However, in her dreams, she often dreamed of him, so she often took the thick quilt for him and hugged him tightly, as if she was afraid that he would dissipate from her arms.

………………

The next day, Yan Jinxuan couldn't wait to rush home, but he was intercepted by Fengzi Chao not far from the palace gate.

"My lord, the matter of the sixth prince has an eyebrow." Toyoko said toward his ear.

Yan Jinxuan immediately got out of the carriage and booked a room in a small teahouse on the side of the road to listen to his report.

Through Feng Zichao's narration, Yan Jinxuan learned that he got clues step by step from the neighbor of a palace maid who was killed three months ago.

"This palace maid was killed by the emperor because of the absconding incident of the sixth prince, and most of the people around the emperor were killed at that time, and this palace maid had returned home the day before she died, so she told the neighbor about it, and asked the neighbor to help take care of her family if she was killed." Toyoko said quietly.

"Let's get to the point." Yan Jinxuan said. He often felt that Toyoko Chao paid too much attention to explaining the ins and outs of the matter, and with his cleverness, he didn't need to listen to too many details, he only needed to know the main points to deduce the whole thing.

"When I went to the house of the slain maid to find out what was going on, the neighbor was there, and I saw that she looked panicked. I talked to her, at first she refused to say anything, I went five times in a row before she was willing to tell the matter, she said that now there are at least three people in the palace who are the six princes - Gonggong Lu, the cabinet scholar Gu Bing and the imperial envoy Pang Dongdong. Feng Zichao said.

Yan Jinxuan's expression became solemn.

Although Gonggong Lu is not the closest person to the emperor. But it is very important to the emperor, and now he is the commander and eunuch in the celebrant supervisor. And Gu Bing, as an important minister in the cabinet, has great power, and it is no wonder that the sixth prince absconded quickly and smoothly with him in it.

Yan Jinxuan is not very clear about the situation of Yu Shi Pang Dongdong, but it is obviously not a simple person to be reused by the six princes.

None of these three people could be directly interrogated by Yan Jinxuan. But he had to find a way to find out the whereabouts of the six princes from them.

How do you do that? Yan Jinxuan pondered.

Now that there are three people in this place, the emperor is extremely dangerous.

However, no matter how dangerous it is, after all, most of the people around the emperor have been replaced, and it may not be so easy for them to get close to the emperor's side, but it is not impossible.

Yan Jinxuan decided to focus on the direction of the six princes first.

So he said to Feng Zichao, "We have to keep a close eye on the whereabouts of these three people. Gonggong Lu and Pang Dongdong will be in charge of you, and I will come here Gu Bing. ”

"Good. Do you think you need to talk to the emperor? ”

Yan Jinxuan pondered for a moment and said, "There is no need for the Sixth Prince's future without making it clear, and I can't reveal any news to the outside world. ”

"Understood."

So the two took their leave.

The sky gradually darkened, and Yan Jinxuan, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly felt that his whole body was surrounded by the biting cold, and his desire to go home became stronger and stronger.

When he walked into Mrs. Lu's room in a cold wind, Su Shanyun was talking with Mrs. Lu, and her delicate little face was full of tenderness.

See him come in. Su Shanyun immediately prepared a hand warmer and foot stove for him.

"Second master, come over and keep warm." When she was ready, she said to him.

He smiled and took off his shoes and sat on the big kang.

When he put his hand on the hand warmer, she had already thoughtfully placed the foot stove at his feet, and brought him hot tea with quick steps.

"Second master, please drink tea." She said.

These things could actually be ordered to be done by the maid, but she was willing to serve him herself.

Yan Jinxuan took it with a smile and drank it in three or two sips.

Suddenly, it warmed up from head to toe.

It feels so good to be cared for by her! He smiled slightly.

"Shanyun, I've worked hard for you these past few days!" Yan Jinxuan looked at her and said.

He knew that because Zhang Hanlin was pregnant and had to take care of Qiao'er, most of the family's affairs in the past few days were arranged by Su Shanyun. Of course, she also dared to intervene with Mrs. Lu's permission.

Only three days after the funeral, the furnishings of the house were restored to normal. It is indeed not easy to audit the accounts properly and take good care of Mrs. Lu, besides, she is only thirteen years old.

They are very appreciative of her ability and mentality.

There are not many girls like this.

Su Shanyun's face suddenly turned red again. Busy said: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

"She's busy enough these days, so I want to keep her for a few more days and let the kitchen make up for her with some chicken soup, ginseng soup and the like." Mrs. Lu also said sincerely.

"It's okay, her body bones are weaker." Yan Jinxuan looked at Su Shanyun, her eyes were full of care.

Su Shanyun didn't dare to meet his fiery gaze, and hurriedly turned to face Mrs. Lu.

Finish dinner. Su Shanyun got up and said goodbye to her room - she still had a painting to finish.

Mama Song followed closely.

However, not far from the hall, Su Shanyun fell to the ground with a thud.

"Miss." Mama Song, who was following her, shouted and hurriedly stepped forward.

Su Shanyun lost consciousness at that moment.

When she regained some consciousness, she felt like she was being held in a wide embrace, and at the same time she smelled the familiar, good-smelling masculine scent.

She struggled to open her eyes in vertigo. (To be continued.) )
