Back in the room that resembled the previous school, the rest of the junior brothers and sisters were gone.

Only Zhan Yunyuan was left standing beside the bed.

As if he heard the sound behind him, he turned around and saw Qin Changhuan, adding a little tenderness to his originally indifferent gaze, and looked towards her.

"Senior sister, senior brother, you talk, I'll go and get busy first."

Chafeng bowed slightly to the two of them, then turned to leave.

Qin Changhuan shook the bamboo slip in his sleeve and paced to meet Zhan Yunyuan, "Senior brother, aren't we leaving?" She raised an eyebrow, expressing concern.

Zhan Yunyuan led her to a table and sat down, spread a cushion for her, and made a cup of tea.

"There are many people in the inn, and there are many Yan Heng's people, it is still safer here, no one will disturb you, you can ask if you want to know."

When he spoke, there seemed to be a thousand lights in his eyes.

This kind of intimate familiarity for no reason is inexplicably comfortable in people's hearts.

Qin Changhuan sat down and spread the bamboo slips in his sleeves on the table.

Zhan Yunyuan only glanced at the bamboo slip slightly, his complexion changed slightly, but his eyebrows stretched out in an instant.

"Does she have any problems for you?"

Although the tone is ordinary, the eyes are soft.

But Qin Changhuan always felt a little cold trapped in it when he heard it, and with a slight chill, it penetrated his whole body.

She raised her eyes to a pair of familiar eyes, but she saw a gushing spring under the calm surface of the lake, braving the cold light and raging with murderous intent.

"No, no."

For some reason, she paused, only to feel a shiver all over her body.

There was an ominous premonition in the dark, if she nodded her head, it seemed that Zhan Yunyuan was about to rush into the palace and dismantle the Ember Queen in eight pieces.

He actually made her a little scared.

After all, with Situ Yufeng's example, she couldn't treat Zhan Yunyuan as the senior brother who liked to tease her back then.

Break your arms alive, and the pores open all over your body just think about it.

She thought that she had reached the point of murder, although she had never had a trace of hesitation when facing Helan Qingyi and many ministers back then, but compared to Zhan Yunyuan's calmness at the moment, it seemed that there were still 108,000 miles away.

"Why do you keep staring at me?"

In a trance, she had lost her temper.

Zhan Yunyuan didn't mind, he held his cheek with one hand and let her watch, and even pulled the wooden chair under him closer to make it easier for her to seem.

Qin Changhuan retracted his gaze, and a layer of shame appeared on his cheeks, but he was quickly suppressed by her.

Although her eyes were staring at the bamboo slips, the desire to be competitive in her heart was ignited, and she wanted to restrain her inner restlessness.

"Why is Senior Brother so good to me?" Is it just because of comradeship?

Many times, when she faced the man in front of her, she always felt as if there was an extra layer of barrier above her head, which could not be broken or crossed.

She knew that he intended to protect, but she also wanted to break through this cage one day, no longer to be protected, but to protect others.

Even, no longer because of his gaze or expression, his heart beat faster, and his face was like a cloud.

As if seeing through her heart, Zhan Yunyuan gathered the swollen desires around him, and gradually became peaceful and natural.

He only smiled casually, "My Zhan family has long been martyred for the country, and I am the only one left in the Zhan family." But in my heart, you and Master are my relatives and the only ones. ”

He didn't look at her, hiding all the affection in his eyes, just to make her believe that he really just thought so, and had no other purpose.

But the last sentence was what he really wanted to say.

I thought that after the words, it was a long silence or a few words of comfort.

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden warmth on the back of his hand, and Qin Changhuan's slender hands tightly held his big palm, and the layers of warmth conveyed weak but indestructible strength.

Looking up again, there is a pair of crystal clear warm eyes, straight into the depths of people's hearts.

"Senior brother, you are also my only and my relative."

After three years of hibernation in Chuzhou, when she returned to Beiyan, she was most relieved that she had found her brother, Aunt Xiao, and Zhan Yunyuan.

Although he is his senior brother, but the Southern Qin State is broken, the Qin family is destroyed, she has not many relatives left in this world, Zhan Yunyuan has saved her from fire and water many times, and she naturally regards him as the only one among her relatives.

Zhan Yunyuan's heart was so moved that he was about to respond, but it was a pity that the junior sister in front of him was keen to block the words.

"If my senior brother marries a satisfactory sister-in-law in the future, I will also treat my sister-in-law as a relative."

After the words fell, Qin Changhuan patted the back of Zhan Yunyuan's hand again, smiled twice with satisfaction, and continued to look down at the bamboo slips on the table.

Zhan Yunyuan was weak, clenched his fist, felt the remaining warmth on the back of his hand, withdrew his sleeve, picked up the tea cup with his left hand, and took two sips.

I let out a long sigh in my heart, but I didn't know it.

After a while, Qin Changhuan raised his hand and stretched his arms, only to feel that his back had stiffened for too long, and he was a little sore, but his mouth was chattering.

"This Ember Queen, it's so strange."

"Why?" Zhan Yunyuan asked.

Qin Changhuan's head tilted slightly to the right, thinking of the time he had lived in the palace, he always felt that the harem was too peaceful.

Even when she was lenient and treated like her own mother, the harem was always quarrelling, and she had never seen a day like the harem of Dongyan, so quiet and peaceful.

"In the past three months of living, there has been no jealousy in the harem, and in this harem, except for the eldest prince and Tang Ruoxu, who have become adults, the rest of the princes have died before they were born or ignorant for various reasons."

The beauty of the harem, there are dozens of people she knows, but where there are children in the palace, there is only a princess, if the emperor is incompetent, but there is a big prince and three princes.

If it is a coincidence, it is really unconvincing.

"You mean, this Ember Queen is not simple?"

Zhan Yunyuan quickly understood what Qin Changhuan meant.

Qin Changhuan pointed to the family background of Empress Dongyan, and said puzzledly, "In terms of background, it can be regarded as a noble mansion worthy of the royal family, and in terms of appearance and talent, it is also in people." ”

"It stands to reason that as long as she is firmly in the back position, it is reasonable for her prince to become the next Emperor of Eastern Ember, but she has no room for people."

In these days in the harem, she has also come into contact with many concubines, but she only saw them from afar, and occasionally met someone who could speak, and the other party also bowed cautiously and left.

It can be seen that under the control of the queen, the concubines are not doing well.

"But she alone has done it to such a point, I'm afraid it's ......"

Zhan Yunyuan expressed the suspicion in his heart, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

Qin Changhuan was a little excited, and patted the table, "Yes, that's what I said!" During this time, I found that Tang Xunde didn't like the queen, but he always had to play a kind husband and wife with her. ”

"This woman that the emperor doesn't look down on, even if she is rich and rich, she just finds a reason to send it away, but every time the two of them have to act like a respectful guest, but the queen's family has no merit, I'm afraid that there is a force behind the queen, which makes Tang Xunde jealous, so he will act like this."

That's the best way to explain it.

Ember attaches great importance to commercial prosperity, and many people have made a fortune because of it.

The emperor actually kept her like this, maybe it was the force behind the queen that made Tang Xunde both jealous and want to rely on it.

Thinking about it carefully, he actually encountered the group of Cross Assassins after coming to Ember, and then specific to the day and hour, simplifying the matter, he only found one clue.

Since they had never encountered them in Beiyan before, it was better to boldly assume that these assassins were all from the Eastern Ember.

Since the target is her and Tang Ruoxu, it is the person who hates her and Tang Ruoxu.

After thinking about it, there was only one person left, the queen.

In this way, if you connect the Ember Queen with the Xuanbing Pavilion behind the Cross Assassins, everything makes sense.

Following her train of thought, Zhan Yunyuan also understood what she meant.

"Then in the next few days, we'll go to this Xuanbing Pavilion for a while."

His eyes wandered, looking at Qin Changhuan, the two looked at each other, and obviously felt that the gaze on the other side was slightly wrong, and he no longer looked at him.

His heart was full of joy, and his body and mind were much more relaxed.

Getting up, he rolled up the bamboo slip again, "Keep it for them to see, maybe they can find some different clues from it, and we will go to the queen's mansion tomorrow to pay a visit." ”

Qin Changhuan was surprised, "Why?" She tucked the bamboo slip back into her sleeve.

Zhan Yunyuan leaned close to her ear and said in a low voice, "Naturally, I visited secretly, and I may be able to find clues." ”

His tone was very normal, but Qin Changhuan's ears were warm.

I don't know why, every time I'm with him, there is always a bad breath and a bad heartbeat, and I don't know if there is something hidden in him that disturbs her mood.

Out of the Spring Willow Pavilion, I was about to step on the sedan stool to get on the car.

Qin Chang suddenly remembered something, and turned his head to look at Zhan Yunyuan, "Senior brother, there is one more thing." ”

She looked around and saw that there was no one, so she took the initiative to get close to tiptoe, lowered her voice, and briefly explained some things about Tang Xunde and her mother.

"I suspect that my mother suddenly disappeared from the embers and was with my father again, and I am afraid that this matter is also related to the queen."

Zhan Yunyuan seemed to be thoughtful, and after a while, he helped her into the car and admonished, "Leave this matter to me, don't get involved yet, believe me." ”

He was serious.

Qin Changhuan also nodded seriously.

For some reason, he always had a convincing magic.

As long as he says yes, he really can.

In the past, on Yin Yang Mountain, she never realized that her senior brother Zhan Yunyuan actually had such a powerful ability.

Not only did he incarnate as the regent of Beiyan Qianchengjue, but he also built such a huge intelligence base under the noses of Tang Xunde and Tang Ruoxu in the Eastern Ember Capital.

His strength should not be underestimated.

When the Southern Qin Kingdom was broken, she was still in infancy, and later she only learned about the situation of Zhan Yunyuan's family from Qin Chang'an, and he was able to survive, and she felt very sorry at that time, and she was jealous of the talent.

Now that I think about it, he deserves to be a son of the Zhan family.
