There was a housekeeper standing in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, glancing at the mouth of the alley from time to time, waiting for someone to come.

The housekeeper summoned a servant over: "You go to the market to see if there is any carriage of Lord Yan?" ”

The little guy bent down and nodded, and hurriedly ran towards the mouth of the alley.

The gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion opened from the inside, Tao Xiaobei walked out, glanced at the empty alley coldly, and asked lightly: "No one has come yet?"

The housekeeper shook his head: "The old slave has already asked the little servant to go to the market to see it." ”

"You go in, I'll wait. Tao Xiaobei walked down the steps and stood in the middle of the alley, looking at the mouth of the alley.

He is gambling, betting on Yan Nanwan's affection, and also betting on Yan Nanwan's guts.

Whether Taofu succeeds or fails, it all depends on today's gamble.

On the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the evening, Yan Nan deliberately slowed down his pace, thinking about what Tao Xiaobei used to blackmail Qin Zhao all the way.

Qin Zhao is upright, not afraid of the powerful, and even the royal family is not merciless when it comes to investigating the affairs of the royal family, she really can't figure out what else can make Qin Zhao so powerless.

The little maid ran to the market and didn't see the carriage of the Yan Mansion, but at a glance he saw the frowning Yan Nanwan, thinking about the housekeeper's instructions, and hurriedly ran back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"People are here?" Tao Xiaobei asked as he looked at the little guy who ran back.

The little guy looked at Tao Xiaobei and became more respectful: "Here, Lord Yan walked over." ”

"Let's go back!"

She really wants to take the initiative all the time, and if she doesn't figure it out, she won't come.

Since she didn't come, he went to invite her.

"Burn more stoves in the main house. After he finished speaking, he walked towards the mouth of the alley.

Yan Nanwan couldn't figure it out, so she simply didn't want to think about it, she had to uncover Hua Chen's affairs, otherwise she didn't know anything about the people behind her and the people behind her, she was always stared at, always thinking that someone was going to put her to death, she was afraid that she would not be happy in this life.

Walking to the mouth of the alley, I met Tao Xiaobei who was going to look for her, the two were a little surprised when they saw each other, Yan Nanwan laughed: "Tao Gongzi is going out again?"

"Looking for you. ”

"No need to look for it, I'm here. Yan Nanwan looked at him with a smile.

Tao Xiaobei looked at the smile on her face, and suddenly felt that he never really knew her, from the first time they met, she always looked like she was smiling at him, whether it was a quirky smile, a dignified and virtuous smile, or a triumphant smile, she always smiled at him.

He really hated to see her smile at him now, and he felt that her smile at him was alienation and indifference.

Yan Nanwan looked at Tao Xiaobei and stared at him, blinked, puzzled: "What has Tao Gongzi been looking at me?"

Tao Xiaobei looked away indifferently and said coldly: "Make a deal." ”

Yan Nanwan still smiled: "Come into the house to talk?"

"Put away your smile, it's ugly!" Tao Xiaobei lowered his face and turned around, exuding a fierceness that no one should approach.

Yan Nanwan's smile froze on his face, slowed down for a while, gritted his teeth, and followed Tao Xiaobei angrily, and said, "I didn't let you see the ugliness, meddle with things!"

Yan Nanwan felt that this person must be because of Hua Chen's matter, and she was depressed in her heart, and she couldn't see others.

Tao Xiaobei, who was walking in front, listened to her angry voice, fantasized about her angry appearance in his mind, and unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth.

It turned out that she also had times when she didn't smile in front of him.

The housekeeper got Tao Xiaobei's order, went to the house to watch in person, and asked the people to light a few more stoves, and the house was very warm.

The little servant waited at the gate of the mansion, waiting for Tao Xiaobei, watching Tao Xiaobei and Yan Nanwan coming from the mouth of the alley, bending over and handing over the hand-warming jar that had been prepared earlier and sending it to Yan Nanwan: "Lord Yan, the prince ordered it to be prepared for you." ”

"Thank you. Yan Nanwan took it unceremoniously, held it in his hand, and suddenly felt that his cold hand warmed up, and turned his head and smiled at Tao Xiaobei, "Tao Gongzi is really comprehensive for today's business." ”

"It's best if you think so. Tao Xiaobei's face became gloomy.

Yan Nan looked at it at night, and felt that this person was really inexplicable today, and just two words provoked his anger, thinking that it was better not to provoke the fire, so he shut up.

Tao Xiaobei is quiet, Prime Minister Tao Cheng did not take a concubine, the mansion was originally quiet, but now that this happened, the mansion is even quieter.

She followed Tao Xiaobei all the way to the main house, except for a small servant who led the way, and no one saw it.

"Your house is really pure. ”

"If you and I don't negotiate this deal today, I'm afraid it will be cleaner. ”

On the steps, Yan Nanwan handed the hand-warming jar in his hand to the little maid, and followed Tao Xiaobei into the main house: "If you want to negotiate a deal, it all depends on Tao Gongzi's concessions." ”

"Sit. Tao Xiaobei pointed to the chair by the stove, sat opposite her, raised his hand to lift the boiling tea soup, and poured a cup for each of them, "Lord Yan must have gone to Dali Temple!"

Yan Nanwan picked up the teacup and took a sip: "I've been there, didn't Tao Gongzi go too?"

"So, what qualifications do you think Lord Yan has to ask me to make concessions?"

Yan Nanwan sighed lightly: "I just came to investigate the case by the emperor's order, what is there to investigate, since Tao Gongzi does not give in, I have nothing to say." ”

"Then you don't even care about Lord Qin's life and death?"

"Lord Qin is an official of the imperial court, and Lord Qin's life and death are determined by the emperor, so what does it have to do with me. She said lightly, with a look of indifference.

Tao Xiaobei looked at her, and faintly felt that he had played the wrong chess: "Don't you want to look at the relationship with Lord Qin in the past?"

Yan Nanwan asked rhetorically: "I and Lord Yan are just officials in the same dynasty, I don't know where the affection in Tao Gongzi's mouth begins?"

"I'm underestimating you. Tao Xiaobei snorted coldly.

Yan Nanwan pushed the finished teacup in front of Tao Xiaobei, stretched out a finger like a green onion and knocked on the mouth of the cup: "The tea is good, let's have another cup." ”

Tao Xiaobei lifted his eyelids, lifted the steaming teapot and added another cup of hot tea to her: "What do you want?"

"Do what you want!" she said in a loud voice, non-negotiable.

Tao Xiaobei's eyes suddenly lit up with a hint of interest: "Then why are you here today?"

Yan Nanwan raised her eyebrows, frowning: "What did you do to Qin Zhao?"

"Lord Qin didn't tell you, it's really strange!" he hooked his lips, and there seemed to be a smile in his eyes, "At this time, Lord Qin still doesn't want to embarrass you, can you bear to see Lord Qin sad?"

"Tao Xiaobei, Qin Zhao is an official of the imperial court, not a subordinate of your Prime Minister's Mansion, not something you can handle. She said solemnly.

For Tao Xiaobei, she is not her enemy, she is more familiar than people she doesn't know, and Tao Xiaobei has not infringed on her interests, she said a few words kindly.

"Qin Zhao won't help you. ”
