Chapter Fifty-Eight: When the Literati Encounter the Brain
Going around in such a big circle, it turns out that the ultimate goal is here. Xiao Changting didn't give an answer immediately, he looked at him quietly with a smile in his eyebrows.
When the autumn wind rose, the leaves fell to the ground, and the palace maids and eunuchs in charge of cleaning had already cleaned up before they had time to decorate the scenery.
Suddenly, Xiao Changting laughed low and said, "Since Brother Zhan wants to, how can I, as an elder brother, be embarrassed to refute my brother's face?" The left and right have reached the final level, and Brother Zhan only needs to help me check the level. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xie Zhan was overjoyed and hugged his fists in thanks.
Xiao Changting smiled and joked with him. After a while, Xiao Changting saw that after Xie Zhan achieved his goal, his heart also flew away, so he casually found an excuse to blow him away.
Xie Zhan wanted to leave a long time ago, Xiao Changting gave him this opportunity, and he was happy to accept it.
Xiao Changting stood at the door, with his hands behind his back, looking at his happy appearance, his smile filled his eyes, and he was about to overflow. But when Xie Zhan's figure disappeared in front of him, the smile on his face could no longer be suppressed, and he quietly stared at the place where Xie Zhan disappeared for a long, long time.
Then, in silence, he turned back to his room and closed the door.
No one knew what he was doing, and all the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting were separated from him by him.
"Xie Zhan, this kid, seems to like Xin Muyuan more and more......"
Xie Zhan's feelings for Xin Muyuan are stronger than when he first knew that Xin Muyuan was Xin Ye.
Even the emperor, a big man, can find out, not to mention Princess Huai'an, who is delicate and full of Xie Zhan, Xie Changyu.
She knew that her emperor's brother would come over to Xie Zhan today, and she also knew that it was for Xie Zhan to fight on the street.
When the news reached her ears, her face was pale and bloodless, even her fingers were shaking, and her feet and back were cold. 、
There is anger in the eyes, and ice in the heart.
She knew that Xie Zhan had a memory of Xin Muyuan in her heart, and there must be a reason for the peace and departure that day, and it would not be as easy as Xie Zhan's cousin said.
Also, no matter what purpose Xin Muyuan entered the Protector Mansion, she was the one who accompanied Xie Zhan at the hospital bed for half a year. How can such a person not have any feelings?
It's just that she never thought that Xie Zhan's feelings for Xin Muyuan would be so strong.
The cousin Zhan in her heart has a cold temperament, distinguishes between right and wrong, and is as emotional and elegant as the empty valley orchid, a man who combines all the beauty in this world, a person who combines all her preferences, and the white moonlight in her heart.
But such a cold person actually beat people on the street, made such a thug move, and lost his identity. For the sake of the owner of Liying, he and his wife, the woman he kept saying that he didn't love for a long time, Xin Muyuan.
Huai'an didn't believe it, she didn't believe that this was something that Xie Zhan could do. Therefore, she has been watched by Xie Zhan since he entered the palace, and when he came out of the imperial study, she couldn't wait to rush out and stop him.
"Cousin Zhan!"
When Xie Zhan heard this sweet and soft voice, he was not very happy in his heart, but a little helpless and irritable. He sorted out his expression, showed his usual smile, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Huai'an pounce on him with the hem of his skirt, so frightened that he retreated again and again, avoiding the princess's loving pounce.
"Cousin Zhan......"
Princess Huai'an pouted and looked at him aggrievedly.
Xie Zhan clenched his fists and bowed his head, once again distancing himself from Princess Huai'an. Fang Cai just dodged her pounce and didn't dodge too far, because he was worried that her feet would slip, or she would step on the corner of her skirt, and she would fall and she would not have time to help herself, and she would bump and bump again.
"What's the matter with the princess?"
Xie Zhan's voice was very gentle, but Princess Huai'an could feel that Xie Zhan was more alienated from herself, as if she was deliberately keeping a distance from herself.
"Cousin Zhan, since you came to the palace, why didn't you come to look for me? We haven't seen each other in days. ”
The princess took a step forward, and Xie Zhan took a step back, always maintaining a position of nearly two meters with her. The princess looked at him hurt and asked, "Cousin Zhan, you have fallen in love with Xin Muyuan to such an extent, do you feel that it is a blasphemy against you even when I take a step closer?" ”
These words frightened Xie Zhan, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and his head hung lower, and said: "Princess, you are an unmarried female Jiao'e, and the minister is an unmarried man, so naturally you have to keep some distance, otherwise it will ruin the princess's reputation." ”
The princess's eyes lit up suddenly, and she took two steps closer again, and her obsidian-like black eyes seemed to condense starlight: "It turns out that Cousin Zhan is for my good, and I'm afraid that my reputation will be ruined!" Cousin Zhan is so good to Huai'an, and he is thinking about Huai'an anytime and anywhere! ”
Xie Zhan: "......" This misunderstanding is a bit big, he just doesn't want to get too close to women other than Xin Muyuan, especially women who have ill intentions towards him, and he has to keep his distance.
"It's good that the princess is happy, and the minister has something to do, so she will retire first." Thirty-six strategies, go for the best policy.
Xie Zhan was worried that if he didn't withdraw, with Huai'an's brain, his life would be gone. However, before his waist could straighten up, and his steps had only taken a step back, something terrible came after him.
Then he heard the princess ask, "Why is Cousin Zhan in such a hurry to leave?" Isn't it, shy? ”
The princess had a shy face when she asked, a smile on the corner of her lips, and her eyes were full of waves. If this is bumped into by others, it must be misunderstood that Xie Zhan said something that causes people to misunderstand, but he doesn't find it out in person, and he has to ask the little girl herself.
Mo said that it was someone else, and even Xie Zhan himself almost thought that he had just said something terrible.
The corners of Xie Zhan's lips twitched slightly, trying to keep his smile from collapsing, and asked, "What is the princess talking about?" I didn't understand. ”
The princess glanced at him shyly, glared at him without any deterrence, and said, "Cousin Zhan is really bad, people's faces are going to be red, and you still want people to say it." What man is unmarried and a woman is not married, doesn't my brother just want Huai'an to marry you? My brother said bluntly, why bother making such a big bend. ”
Xie Zhan: "......" should have come or come. Xie Zhan didn't want to care about the question marks in his head now, he just wanted to find an excuse to run away.
It's just that the fist that was picked up was put down, picked up again, put down again, opened his mouth, closed it, and opened it again, and he didn't find a suitable reason in the end, so he simply hugged his fist, didn't say anything, and ran away.
When a man is outside, he must protect himself. Women's things are too dangerous.
Xie Zhan's movement was too sudden, and Princess Huai'an, who was shy, was stunned, looking at Xie Zhan's back in confusion, the starlight in her eyes dimmed little by little, replaced by a strong hatred.
