Luo Yao received the dispatch and management of Daze's military defense from Mu Chen, and returned to Pingfeng City alone. Qing Ling avoided it until Luo Yao left, and the two never saw each other again.

A few days later, Baili Ningyan also came to the imperial capital Lingxiao.

Baili's had a mansion with an excellent location in Beijing, but Ning Yan didn't move in, but directly handed over a post to the Emperor's Mansion, asking to move in with Qingling.

Ning Yan has always been cold, and this time he came uninvited, which made Qing Ling unexpected, but it was not easy to refuse, so he had to clean up the room and let her live in.

Qing Ling saw Ning Yan and quipped: "I don't live in the mansion, I want to squeeze my small mansion." I can put the ugly words in front of me first, in my house, there is only one courtyard that can live in people, once you live in, you have to look up and look down with me. ”

Ning Yan's face was not shocked, and he lowered his head and straightened his sleeves, "What's wrong with living in a courtyard with you?" The maids on both sides can save some trouble. Nianhong beside me also served you in the past, and if there is anything she needs to do, just tell me. ”

When Qing Ling heard Nianhong's name, she couldn't help sweating on her forehead, and quickly changed the topic and smiled: "You really deserve to be the eldest lady of Baili's family, you can even think of saving manpower, and I will learn more from you and learn from you in the future!" ”

Ning Yan said: "What is the eldest lady?" Anyone with a discerning eye knows that His Majesty summoned me to Beijing to keep me as a hostage. I hid in your Emperor's Mansion because I was afraid, what do you want to learn from me? ”

Hearing this, Qing Ling's face turned slightly scornful, and he reached out to hold Ning Yan's arm, "What are you afraid of?" Who doesn't know that you are the best lady of our generation! Whoever dares to trouble you, you are like at the Ganyuan Conference, you cut his blade with a sword! He got closer, and teased him in a suppressed voice: "No matter how bad it is, there is Chun Yuyan." Now that he is the patriarch of the Chunyu clan, isn't it easy to protect you? ”

After Mu Chen ascended the throne, Chun Yuyan was finally able to surface and appear in front of everyone as a close friend and confidant of the new emperor, and was entrusted with several important official positions in a row. Chun Yufu, the patriarch of the Chunyu clan, realized that the concubine who had been prodigal in his family had secretly worked for the eldest prince for many years, and the scale of his power and promotion was unrivaled.

Chun Yufu experienced the blow and implication of the loss of his son in Fengcheng and the blame of the Fang Shan clan, and he was almost exhausted. He was not a person with great ambitions, and at this time he was even more reluctant, and after being summoned by Mu Chen in private, he took the initiative to propose to pass the position of patriarch to his second son Chun Yuyan.

After Chun Yujue's death, Chun Yufu originally planned to cultivate his second son so that he could inherit the family business in the future. Although there are still children like Chun Yumin in the clan, after all, they are not their own children, and Chun Yufu still has some thoughts about not flowing into the fields of outsiders. In the past, he was worried that Chun Yuyan would be prodigal and difficult to convince the public, but now with the support of His Majesty the new emperor, he simply seized the opportunity and passed on the position.

Ning Yan heard Qingling mention Chun Yuyan, her face was slightly pale, she turned her head to hide her expression without a trace, and said lightly: "Okay, I'm not an unreasonable person, where can I really make trouble in Lingxiao City?" In the past, whenever the Mo Nan family dispatched troops, the Mo Nan Shiyin brothers and sisters also had to live in Beijing. I was just joking. ”

Ning Yan said that it was a joke, but Qing Ling understood in her heart that she still had some dissatisfaction with the Chaoyan royal family.

After the last killing in Wind City, the staff in the Hou Mansion speculated that the mastermind behind the scenes was the Chaoyan royal family, and Ning Yan may have also judged this, so his attitude towards Qingling was a little cold afterwards. Later, I don't know what Chun Yuyan explained to her, but now my sister-in-law met again, although they still had some thoughts, but Ning Yan no longer had the hostility and alienation of the last time.

Qing Ling has always been a little different from the connivance of others, and comforted himself in his heart with optimism: Maybe people took the initiative to move in with them this time, because they realized that they had wrongly transferred their anger to themselves last time, and they wanted to find an opportunity to get close to them and apologize.

She secretly made up her mind to do her best to be a landlord, and took out the leisurely and lively formation of the former Emperor's Mansion "Yaotai is full of life, drunk and fan", and entered the ladies and ladies of Lingxiao City with condensation!

But who knows, before the ladies party was organized, she first recruited someone she didn't really want to meet......

Chun Yuyan returned to Fengyi to accept the position of patriarch, and stayed to deal with some family affairs, and then returned to Lingxiao City. And the first thing I did after returning to Beijing was to visit the Emperor's Mansion.

Qingling knew his intention, but because Ning Yan lived in his mansion, he couldn't drive Chun Yuyan out and not let his family meet, so after receiving the post, he had to receive him in the flower hall.

Chun Yuyan shook the folding fan, his clothes and demeanor were still the same as before, but the cynical look on his face had disappeared a lot, and he was also very polite and polite when he saw Qing Ling, "Long Emperor Ji." ”

Qing Ling didn't smile at it, and asked sneeringly: "Patriarch Chunyu is here, is he here to give me an explanation?" ”

On the night of the palace change, Yan once said to Qing Ling that he owed her an explanation. However, after so long, this is the first time that the two have met in private.

Chun Yuyan sneered: "It's been so long, what explanation does the Elder Emperor Ji need, Your Majesty should have given it, so why do you need my turn to be a mere chess piece." ”

Qing Ling became angry, "Heh, now that you are the patriarch and promoted to an official position, you are also an official when you talk to me, right?" He stared at him hatefully for a moment, looked away, and said angrily: "I have long known that you are cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and your mind is full of only pretending to be famous, future, and great causes. I'm so stupid that I would think you can really treat me as a friend! ”

Chun Yuyan saw that Qingling was really angry, so he had to put away his plan to turn the big thing into a small one, set a ban, and explained in a low voice: "I really can't tell you in advance about the day of Chongming Festival. Originally, there were very few people who knew about the plan, and before the incident, most of the cronies who were loyal to His Majesty thought that the layout of everything was just to bring down the Fang Shan clan by means of poisoning. Knowing that there might be a mutiny, it was just me and Mo Nan'an Mountain. After a pause, he seemed to hesitate a little, and finally said slowly: "Tell the truth...... I guess no one could have imagined that the first emperor would die suddenly...... Your Majesty's mind has always been difficult to fathom......"

No one wants to be charged with killing his father, and Mu Chen has always been meticulous, even if he is closest to him, he may not be completely open and honest. Everyone thought that the target of that night was Queen Fangshan and her family. Even Chun Yuyan himself only thought that Mu Chen would use some means at most to force Emperor Hao to abandon the queen and Mu Han, but he didn't expect it......

Qing Ling naturally understood Mu Chen's character, and he didn't really plan to pile up the blame on Chun Yuyan, but he felt a little unwilling, and asked with a sneer: "You can't tell me in advance, okay, even if you and I don't have a shallow relationship and are not friends, you can ignore my life and death." But Ning Yan's brother's life, don't you care about it? The poisoned wine has been brought to us, if I hadn't given him some snacks from Concubine An, would he have been able to leave the Vermilion Bird Hall alive? ”

Chun Yuyan looked innocent, "Can you not say that I am so vicious?" Since I can feed His Majesty the antidote unknowingly, I am naturally sure to detoxify you! ”

He leaned closer to Qing Ling, "You ask yourself, what would you do if I really told you the plan in advance?" Can you really cooperate honestly? ”

Qing Ling poked Yan away with his fingers in disgust, cleared his throat, and changed the subject, "Don't say anything else!" When you came to Chongwu, what did you tell me to pick up Xian Xian and enter Beijing to solve the Gu, but did you solve it in the end? What kind of grudge do people have against you, and they want to be used by you again and again? ”

Chun Yuyan shouted wronged, "Why didn't you solve it? Isn't she living in the Mansion now? ”

Qing Ling snorted a few times, "That's also how to use her to let Gao Du finish his work......"

Chun Yuyan slandered in his heart, why did everything Mu Chen do become a blame for himself? Alas, it's a pity that the status of the monarch and the minister is very different now, and they can only take the blame with blood and tears......

"If you are in that position, you can't escape after all. Besides, it was a great blessing that he was able to save his life later. After all, Your Majesty is not in front of your face. ”

He was half persuaded and half coaxed, and at the end, he quipped: "Then again, on the night of the birthday banquet of the prince of Windy City, you hated the slender girl to the bone marrow, and I wish you wanted to teach others a lesson, why are you distressed now?" ”

Qing Ling's eyes widened, "What hatred goes into the bone marrow?" Where do I have it? ”

"Why not?"

Chun Yuyan unfolded his fan and shook it again, "On the color boat, you can't see people appearing as the confidante of the prince, and you have to come and sit with me in a rage, that expression, t......sk, tsk, tsk

Qing Ling was told that he was breaking his heart, his face was red, annoyed and angry, and he turned around and poured the hot tea on the case on Yan's body, "What are you talking nonsense!" ”

Chun Yuyan smiled and waved a fan to block it, but before the water droplets arrived, they had turned into ice particles and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the two of them immediately reacted and turned their heads to look at the door of the flower hall.

I saw Ning Yan wearing a plain white gauze skirt, Tingting standing outside the door, although her expression was as cold as ever, there was a faint surprise in her eyes that could not be hidden, and she looked at Chun Yuyan fixedly.

Qing Ling glanced at the two people who were looking at each other, lowered his head and dusted off his sleeves.

Alright, it's time to get out of the game on your own.

These two people can't meet alone in an irregular manner, so they use the Emperor's Mansion to cover up, right?

Alas, I still thought that Ning Yan moved here to live because he wanted to show goodwill, to express his guilt or something......

She quietly walked out of the door, just in time to hear Ning Yan ask Chun Yuyan: "Why are you here?" ”

Chun Yuyan didn't have time to answer, but he saw Qing Ling clinging to Ning Yan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "He, he has been away from Lingxiao City for some time, and he has been thinking about those singers in the Red Moon Fang, so he is in a hurry to come back, so as not to be deceived by others." I just persuaded him to come, with his hundreds of years of experience in the love field, where is it so easy to lose his hooves? He still didn't believe it, but it didn't mean that I, as a friend, didn't care about his happiness, so I was angry, so I did it. ”

She patted Ning Yan's arm, "Well, you guys talk slowly." ”

After speaking, he pursed the corners of his lips, left behind two people who didn't know what their expressions were, and left.
