"That's a rumor." Xilingyue lied calmly, "My birthmark is not on my left shoulder, but on my back." The reason why I am called 'Xiling Yue' is because my stepfather picked me up on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it has nothing to do with the shape of the birthmark. ”

Tian Ji'an listened to this explanation, although he was skeptical, but after all, he saw it with his own eyes, so he could only believe it for the time being. He considered it for a while, and never wanted to offend the Guo family, so he had to apologize again, "It was the official who misheard the rumors and offended the county lord." ”

Xiling Yue snorted coldly, obviously unable to let go. Li Chengxuan's face was also cold, and he asked rhetorically, "Since Tian Servant has seen it, he has no objections, and I ask you to abide by the agreement and let the two of us leave Wei Bo." ”

"Naturally, but this official still has one thing." Tian Ji'an didn't wait for the two of them to ask, and then said to the maidservant, "You take the county lord down to rest for a while." ”

The maidservant was trembling with fright, and was too busy to receive her life.

Xilingyue glanced at Li Chengxuan, and saw that he didn't react much, so she left first under his acquiescence.

She followed the maid out of the study, all the way to the courtyard, and saw a figure in black standing with his arms folded, standing under the dead branches of a plum tree, looking up. The lights under the corridor were dim, reflecting the slender figure of the man, who was the "Lingbo Fairy" Nie Yinniang, who had not been seen for a long time.

"Fairy Nie," Xiling Yue lowered her voice and stepped forward, saluting and thanking, "Thank you for your help." ”

Nie Yinniang turned around, cold and clear, and said concisely, "No thanks." ”

But the servant girl breathed a sigh of relief, "I scared the servant to death, and I was almost exposed." ”

She's none other than Atsui.

Sisters Acui and Adan have served Li Chengxuan for many years, so they are naturally loyal to him. After learning that he and Xiling Yue had an accident, the two volunteered to lure away the pursuers. But because they are twin sisters, it is too easy to attract attention, so Guo Zhongting let them divide into two ways to go to Nanpu alone, and Acui went to Ziqing with Nie Yinniang.

Yesterday, when Xilingyue and Li Chengxuan were staying at the Jiedu Embassy, Acui and Nie Yinniang had quietly arrived in Weizhou and returned to their residence in the west of the city. At that time, the Tian brothers and sisters were busy with Li Wangzhen's aftermath and did not receive the news in time.

Then, Xilingyue and Li Chengxuan also came back, but because of their preoccupations, they didn't find that there was anyone else in the residence, and their conversation was also listened to by Nie Yinniang and Acui.

By the time Li Chengxuan reacted, Nie Yinniang had already appeared in the courtyard and said directly, "You can't run away with this method, and the lord won't let you go easily." ”

Xiling Yue didn't care about it, and hurriedly asked her how to get out.

Nie Yinniang knew Tian Ji'an very well, and knew that if he really let go of his suspicions, Xilingyue and Li Chengxuan could leave safely. So she had a plan and deliberately created the illusion that the two of them were escaping, attracting Tian Ji'an's eyeliner to track down and take the initiative to attack.

Atsui pretending to be a handmaid was also arranged by her. She was very familiar with the situation in the Jiedu Embassy, so she stunned Tian Wangyan's maid on duty in advance, and asked Acui to change her clothes and pretend to be the other party, and even Acui's rhetoric when she was questioned by Tian Ji'an was also taught by her. Sure enough, Tian Ji'an fell for the trick and really regarded Acui as a new servant.

And the reason why the birthmark on Xilingyue's shoulder disappeared is actually very simple - it is just a layer of fat powder close to the skin tone to temporarily cover the birthmark.

At that time, it was late at night, the candle flame was dim, Tian Ji'an didn't know how to use rouge and gouache, and with Li Chengxuan's obstruction, he couldn't see the strangeness at all at a glance, so he passed the test thrillingly.

Thinking of Fang Cai's trick, Xilingyue was also afraid for a while, and cold sweat couldn't stop popping out. She could feel that her left shoulder was gradually becoming sticky, but it was conceivable that the fat powder was soaked with sweat, and if Tian Ji'an came to confirm it again at this time, she would definitely show her stuffing.

"Thank you Fairy Nie for your help! If it weren't for you, I'd be dying here tonight. She hurriedly thanked Nie Yinniang.

"It's too early to say thank you, and you may not be able to leave." Nie Yinniang said lightly and set her eyes on Tian Ji'an's study.

"Huh?" Xiling Yue's heart twitched, "What, he still has a trick?" ”

Nie Yinniang didn't answer her, looked up and looked at the plum tree again, and said after a while, "I'll take you to Qi Niang." ”

"You mean Tian Niangzi? What to do with her? Xiling Yue was puzzled.

"Tell her about you and the prince, 1510."

Over there, Nie Yinniang took Xilingyue to Tian Wangyan's boudoir; Here, Tian Ji'an and Li Chengxuan's secret talk has also begun.

Tian Ji'an did not shy away from it, and said, "Actually, this official admires the prince very much, and he also feels unjust about what happened to the prince. ”

Li Chengxuan's expression was as usual, repeating what he had said a long time ago, "Thunder, rain and dew, it's all Jun'en." ”

"Does the prince know why the official let Yinniang come to the rescue?" Tian Ji'an asked himself, "Naturally, it's because I almost became a family with the prince." To tell you the truth, since Zhenhai's trip, I have listened to Yinniang's evaluation and admired the prince very much...... Forget to say too. ”

Li Chengxuan didn't react much after hearing this, just smiled.

Seeing this, Tian Ji'an simply said bluntly, "The prince has an outstanding demeanor, Wen Taowu is strategic, and he is the youngest son of Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother." Haven't you ever thought about sitting on that 'throne' in the name of justice? ”

"Didn't think about it." Li Chengxuan said without thinking.

Tian Ji'an showed a look of regret, "The prince Taoguang has been obscure for many years, and his mind is above today's son, I thought you had great ambitions." ”

"It seems that Tian Servant doesn't know me well enough." Li Chengxuan remained silent.

Tian Ji'an saw that he didn't eat oil and salt, and he was also a little irritable, "Don't hide it from the prince, forget to say that I am a compatriot with my mother, and I am raised by Princess Jiacheng personally...... In addition to her poor appearance, her character, upbringing, and talent are by no means inferior to other famous girls. This sister has always been regarded as a treasure by me. ”

When the other party said this, Li Chengxuan couldn't hear it, and directly refused, "I'm afraid that my identity is embarrassing now, and I am not worthy of Sister Ling." ”

"The prince said with a smile, your status is noble, Long Zhang Fengzi, you forgot to say that you are not worthy of you, I know this matter in my heart." Tian Ji'an suddenly lowered his posture, and he was no longer on top.

Li Chengxuan's heart is like a mirror, and the other party is by no means just trying to climb a family business.

Sure enough, I only heard Tian Ji'an say again, "I, Wei Bo, have been divided for decades, and I am in the same breath as Lu Long and Chengde, and it is no exaggeration to say that the three towns of Heshuo are the 'country within a country' of the Tang Dynasty." The reason why we are not self-reliant is, first, that we have not yet reached an agreement; Second, there is no one who can convince the public. ”

"But you are different, you are the son of the former emperor and the queen mother, and you are equivalent to the current saint. Moreover, now that the prince has not been established, the East Palace is hanging in the air, and your teacher is famous. When Tian Ji'an said this, his expression became more and more excited, "If the prince is willing to marry my Tian family, I can persuade Chengde, Lu Long, and even more feudal towns to be loyal to you, and I will definitely be able to protect your ......."

"What do you want me to do?" Li Chengxuan interrupted directly, "Guarantee me to set up another country in the three towns of Heshuo?" ”

"Not only, never more." Tian Ji'an's eyes were faintly shining, like a lone wolf who had been hungry for a long time saw the fresh and tender food, and did not hide his greedy desire, "First the three towns of Heshuo, and then the entire Tang Dynasty!" ”
