Chapter 51: Embarrassment

A cool and deep voice outside the door replied, and when Du Yan heard it, she opened the door and invited Xiao Yechen in. Xiao Yechen was also not polite, and entered her boudoir with long legs, until Du Yan closed the door and saw Xiao Yechen stay in front of her bed, she faintly felt a little bad.

How could she let Xiao Yechen enter her room like this, but it's not good to push him out now, Du Yan felt that the scene was a little embarrassing, she coughed lightly, and decided to get straight to the point and get down to business with Xiao Yechen.

"Someone shot an arrow at my mourning squad this afternoon."

Xiao Yechen turned around slowly, and after listening to Du Yan's words, he put some thoughts behind him for the time being, he took off his robe and found a chair to sit down, Xiao Yechen's face could not be seen clearly in the dark, and he only heard him groan and then said

"Are you hurt?"

Du Yan was completely standing in the dark at the moment, only a little light on the table reflected the corner of her skirt, Du Yan couldn't figure out why Xiao Yechen opened her mouth to ask this, so when Xiao Yechen asked, she hesitated, Du Yan blinked and continued to reply

"It's okay, the whole team is fine. Why does Your Highness ask this? ”

In the dark, the tips of Xiao Yechen's ears were red, and he didn't continue to ask about this topic, just knowing that Du Yan was fine. Someone shot an arrow at the Du family's mourning team? The Du family is an official in the court, not to mention that they should never collude with the people in the rivers and lakes, how could anyone suddenly attack the Du family.

"It's okay. Is there only one arrow? Didn't see anyone, or letters, or anything? ”

Xiao Yechen's voice was very deep and gentle, with a soothing force, Du Yan stabilized her mind, and took a few steps forward to sit on the chair next to Xiao Yechen.

"Yes."

"What's written on it?"

"If you have the world, you will die."

Xiao Yechen: "......"

"What does that mean. One of them who wants to win the world will die? ”

Du Yan turned sideways and looked at Xiao Yechen's eyes in the dark: "Yes, what purpose do you think this arrow has?" ”

Xiao Yechen paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "Someone insinuated at Prime Minister Du Cheng with an arrow, and this arrow was shot next to Prime Minister Du Cheng, saying that if Prime Minister Du Cheng wants to win the world, he must kill one person, or if someone else wins the world, Prime Minister Du Cheng will die?" ”

Xiao Yechen was also taken aback by his thoughts, but this matter can only be explained like this, but he can't know who the archer is and which force it belongs to, if he can know the source of the arrow and guess the friend or foe, then things will be much easier.

"Where is that arrow now?" Xiao Yechen asked Du Yan, he thought about it and decided to get the information he wanted directly from the arrow, if it was really a power of any family, then he would see it at a glance, as long as Du Yan gave him the arrow.

"Arrows ......, lost."

Xiao Yechen raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?" Snatched up? ”

"It's not ......, it's that I didn't get it back."

Xiao Yechen: "......." ”

Xiao Yechen raised his hand to pick up the candle lamp on the table and put it between him and Du Yan, the light reflected the side faces of the two of them, Du Yan's side face was shrouded in a layer of soft light under the dim light, Xiao Yechen stared at Du Yan sideways, and asked again in disbelief

"Didn't get it back?"

"Well, yes. It was very chaotic, my father was also chaotic, and there were a lot of mourners, so I didn't have time to ......."

Du Yan stopped before she finished speaking, because she really couldn't talk anymore, Xiao Yechen was clear, Du Yan was afraid that she didn't think so deeply, so she forgot, he smiled softly with a candle on his face, Du Yan felt that the temperature in the room was instantly warm, and she didn't dare to look at him anymore, so she had to bow her head and say glutinously

"I'm sorry, I didn't mess up."

Xiao Yechen was stunned when he heard Du Yan's words, he laughed and originally wanted to comfort Du Yan, but Du Yan understood it as a threat. Xiao Yechen sighed and then raised his hand and touched Du Yan's head.

"It's okay, you tell me the place, I'll call someone to check it tomorrow, no one will be interested in an arrow, maybe it's still stuck somewhere."

Du Yan lowered her head and shook her head up and down.

"Okay."

"Has anything else happened in Du Mansion, more weird?"

"Weird ......, no. It's Aunt He's death, I think it's also related to this incident, someone has a crush on the Du family, right? ”

The Prime Minister's Mansion has a big business, and the family relationship is intertwined, and he can also say a few words of advice in the court, if he is favored by someone, it is not an exaggeration. After all, anyone who wants to make a storm needs to find a big tree to rely on, and it always needs the right time and place to become a great cause, and it is very important to pull a good helper.

It seems that there is going to be a backlash in the imperial city, but I don't know which force it is.

"Maybe, but I can't say for sure yet."

Du Yan thought about it, and then looked up at Xiao Yechen

"Is there any progress on that?"

Xiao Yechen's first reaction when he heard this sentence was how Du Yan knew that he was investigating, and then he smiled and said: "It seems that I can't hide anything from you, did you use such a mind to help Xiao Wenqing in your last life." ”

Xiao Yechen regretted it after saying this, because he obviously saw that Du Yan's face had changed and became sad, which was shocking. He shouldn't have mentioned the events of the previous life, he knew that it was something that neither of them wanted to recall, Xiao Yechen secretly regretted it.

"Ahem, just kidding. I'm still investigating, the wound on Aunt He's neck is very short, it should be a cold weapon like darts, but no darts were found around Aunt He's death, although it is not ruled out that the person took the darts away, but the average killer will not stay near the corpse for too long after succeeding, and it is very likely that there will be clues. This dart is very stable and fast, just like Captain An said, it is made by a master of the rivers and lakes. ”

After Xiao Yechen informed Du Yan of the situation, the two began to be silent again, and I don't know when the two of them were like a window separated from each other, and there was always an awkward feeling.

"Your Highness has worked hard to check these today."

Du Yan suddenly said this, and Xiao Yechen was stunned when asked

"It's okay, it's okay, are you a condolence? Why not say something that is truly comforting? Xiao Yechen raised his eyebrows and looked at Du Yan with some flattery

"What comforting words would Your Highness want to hear?"

Xiao Yechen lowered his head and thought about it, it really looked like he was thinking hard, Du Yan waited for a while, and Xiao Yechen raised his head to look at her

"Then, thank you Yechen for your help, Brother Chen's hard work, how about it?" After Xiao Yechen finished speaking, he looked at Du Yan even more excitedly, and the words 'want to hear' almost squeezed out of his eyes.

Du Yan was a little speechless, why did she think that Xiao Yechen was getting more and more naΓ―ve, and 'Brother Chen...', if you don't have to call Brother Sheng, why do you add a name in front of it. Du Yan suddenly regretted it, she shouldn't have agreed to Xiao Yechen casually, she had to call it if she didn't call it, but how she called it was too ambiguous.
