Chapter 41: The Game

"Only the people of Yan Mansion don't know me, what about Your Excellency?" Yan Meng looked over defiantly.

Li Shu understood the meaning of the woman in front of him, and saw that she not only did not panic at all, but also fought back without hesitation, the corners of his mouth rose, and his eyes flashed with a strange light: "Has anyone ever told you that you are very smart?" It was obviously a question, but he didn't wait for Yan Meng to answer, so he sighed with some regret: "But often smart people don't live long." ”

Li Shu, the prince of Lin'an's palace, suffered from heart disease at birth, lived in the palace, in order to protect him from others, he was even more famous doctors all over the world to spend thousands of gold to treat his disease, but it is rumored that the prince of Lin'an will not live to be twenty years old...

Yan Meng saw him in his previous life when he returned to Beijing in the coffin of King Lin'an, and he welcomed his father's coffin back to Beijing at the city gate, in fact, she had an impression of Li Shu not because of his dusty appearance, but his expression when he received the body of King Lin'an that day...

That war was the battle of the Great Zhou to defend Liang and Chu, although it was a victory, but it gave the Great Zhou a fatal blow, that is, the Great Zhou lost a tiger general - Li Chuan, the king of Lin'an. Li Shu was already in his twenties that year, and he broke the rumor that he would not live to be twenty. But it is also the first time it has appeared in the public eye. To everyone's surprise, he has lived for 20 years, his body is slender but not thin, his skin is white but not weak, he really does not look like a patient who lingers on the sickbed, and what is even more unexpected is that he stands under the city gate in a plain body, his face is indifferent and not sad, and his handsome appearance does not show a trace of sadness, as if it was not his father who died but an insignificant person. It was not long before I learned that King Lin'an had never married for him, and he had scattered all his family wealth to find a good doctor in the world just to treat his heart disease, which can be said to be a rare father in the world.

Like her, the people who knew that King Lin'an favored the son of Lin'an very much during his lifetime, only felt angry, and there were rumors of the unfilial piety and injustice of the son of Lin'an Mansion, and even the death of his father did not shed a single tear.

Yan Meng thought that maybe he was a cold-hearted person, but he didn't expect that a few days later, it would be rumored that the prince of Lin'an died of heart disease due to his father's sadness, and it was rumored that the prince of Lin'an was the most filial piety in the world, and no one could help but sigh and feel sorry for him.

After Yan Meng knew about it, he sighed like a strange sigh and had no thoughts, but he just recorded the plain white figure in his mind...

Yan Meng didn't expect her to see Li Shu again, still in Yan Bocheng's secret room, and his posture of forcing each other with a sharp blade was not at all like what a person with heart disease should look like, it was impossible to say that she was not surprised, but in addition to being surprised, what she also thought of was the reason why Lin'an Wangfu hid Li Shu...

Yan Meng smiled, stretched out his hand to Wei Huai'an, stared at Li Shu and said word by word: "His jade pendant has the royal logo on it, but he is not the same age as the current princes, so there is only one prince in the royal family who has the possibility of wearing that jade pendant... He is the Prince of De. ”

Li Shu raised his eyebrows and looked at her with interest, wondering what he meant by saying this.

Yan Meng's tone was flat: "The Yan Mansion is heavily guarded, the two of you may be able to come in quietly, but it is difficult for you to install eyeliner in the Yan Mansion..." ”

Li Shu chuckled, "I wonder if Miss Yan Wu has ever heard another sentence?" Outsmart oneself. ”

Yan Meng underestimated the viciousness of the young man's eyes in front of her, and she also had reason to believe that the man in front of her would quietly end her, but she couldn't, she wanted to live! Since the method of diverting his gaze just now does not work, it is better to let the other party see her own energy, it just so happens that she also needs a help, although she doesn't know what Li Shu's energy is, but Lin'an Wangfu is indeed not to be underestimated, so there is only one way to fight, if it becomes an ally, there will be an ally with considerable ability, if not...

"What if Prince De, who is far away from the capital, secretly returns to Beijing and sneaks into the Taiwei Mansion is dispersed?" Yan Meng's voice was bewitched, and her expression seemed to be thinking about the feasibility of this sentence, and she didn't care how dangerous it would be for her to say it.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't tell anyone?" Wei Huai'an immediately exploded when he heard this, but he still looked at Li Shu's back with a little weakness, after all, this was a sore foot he left for others.

Yan Meng smiled sweetly at Li Shu: "Do you believe it?" ”

As a child of the royal family, although Wei Huai'an went away to the capital, if he was known to have colluded with powerful courtiers, then no matter how innocent his mind was, his identity would become unclear.

Li Shu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sighed: "Miss Yan is really not afraid that she will live long!" As he spoke, he increased the force in his hand a little bit, slowly crushing the skin on Yan Meng's neck with the blade of the sword, and said, "In this way, Yan Fu can't retreat with his whole body, does Miss Yan really want to do this?" ”

With Li Shu's pressure on the sharp blade, Yan Meng was forced to cling to the wall of the secret room early, and could only stiffly respond to the pressure of the sharp blade, feeling the real pain coming from his neck, looking at the look of the man in front of him, he instantly understood that he was using his fear of death, after all, death is not terrible, and the process of waiting for death is the most terrible.

"What does it have to do with me?" Yan Meng's gaze did not take off Li Shu's face from beginning to end, and while observing Li Shu's expression without any difference, he also made Li Shu clearly feel the calm gaze of the woman in front of him.

The secret room suddenly fell silent, Li Shu's eyes were a little surprised, and there were only two words in his heart: Why? However, the strength in his hand has not decreased at all, but there is a tendency to aggravate, looking at those calm eyes, like an ancient well, deep and without waves. Although he grasped the life and death of the woman in front of him, he could understand her with one sword, but for some reason, Li Shu suddenly had a feeling that he had been led by the woman in front of him, but this feeling did not make him uncomfortable, but an unclear emotion rose in his heart... It seems to be... Excited?

Suppressing his inner thoughts, Li Shu looked at Yan Meng again, looking at her gaze from calm to sharp at some point, looking at him calmly, with a demeanor in his eyes that looked at everything, as if he had seen it in his heart at a glance. instantly understood why she had such a change, Fang Cai's battle was that he was distracted first, and he lost.

He immediately retreated and put his sword in his sheath: "Why?" "Why be his informant? Why help him?

"Alive."

Li Shu was a little surprised, and subconsciously thought that the fifth lady of the Yan Mansion didn't seem to be a threat to her life, but then she thought that it was her own murderous intent just now, and secretly thought of what Xu was talking about, so she took out the handkerchief in her sleeve and handed it over.

Yan Meng looked at the moon-white handkerchief that suddenly appeared in front of him, and immediately felt the pain in his neck, and his heart was clear, but he didn't take it, only said lightly: "Thank you." Then he took out his handkerchief and gently pressed it to his neck, raised his neckline again, and groped to cover the sword wound.

Li Shu didn't feel embarrassed when he saw that she didn't take the veil, and indifferently took the veil back into his sleeve, but there were some waves in his heart, "In this case, I respectfully invite Miss Yan Wu to come over to talk about it today." With that, he retreated to Wei Huai'an's side, clamped his arm, and the two turned to leave.

Seeing the figures of the two disappearing into the secret room, Yan Meng knelt on the ground with some strength, breathing in a big breath of air, and the pain from her neck reminded her that she was still alive! Feeling that her back has been wet, thinking back to the game just now, but in an instant, she seems to have lived a long life, all the time is a forced posture, if there is a little bit of discouragement, I am afraid that lying here is her corpse.

Yan Meng walked out of the secret room slowly, and before leaving, she glanced sideways at the scroll, the scroll was too special, she always felt that the scroll must have hidden Yan Bocheng's secret. It's just that she can't stay now, she has been here for a long time, if Yan Bocheng finds out, she is afraid that she will cause trouble again, so after figuring it out, she resolutely got up and turned to leave.

Without the initial groping, the process of getting out of the secret passage was very smooth, walking out of the secret passage and standing under the wall, it looked like it was about to be noon, I never thought that I had been delayed in there for so long, presumably Tinghe should have taken Du Man to complete the formalities, Youlan Courtyard has not seen himself for so long, although there is no one in the courtyard now, it is inevitable that people will be suspicious of what is the truth of thinking about this, and walked back to the courtyard quickly.

When they returned to the courtyard, Tinghe and Du Man had already returned to the courtyard, and Tinghe saw that Yan Meng was back and hurriedly greeted him, saying that he had logged Man'er's information into the mansion, and at the same time, he saw Juanhong's figure in the head of Li.

"Juanhong said that she was not feeling well, and she wanted to take a few days off to go home for two days, and Manager Li also agreed, but the slave and maid looked a little wrong."

"What's wrong?"

Listening to He's thoughtful words: "Juanhong doesn't look good, and Manager Li criticized her fake, but the slave maid felt that Juanhong was not uncomfortable, but a little strange... Something seems to be making her panic... She's some..."Tinghe wanted to describe that feeling, but he didn't know what to use to describe it.

"I can't give up!" Man'er picked up the words of Tinghe.

"Yes, the soul is not dying."

Yan Meng thought of what Yuchen said yesterday that she was serving the soup for Juanhong, what did Juanhong know? Mrs. Yan didn't investigate yesterday's incident in detail, and only disposed of Yuan Huan alone, could it be that she also saw something, so she stopped not investigating? The only thing that can make Mrs. Yan make concessions is the "face of Yan's house", as well as Zhao's eyes, she knows that Zhao's movements yesterday must have been aimed at her, but if it was planned by Zhao, then did Zhao ruthlessly poison his daughter?

"Okay, I see, you send someone to follow Juanhong to see if there's anything wrong with her." As he spoke, he took out some jewelry from the money bag in the drawer, "By the way, exchange these jewelry for silver, I won't need many of them." ”
