"Have you told the Seventh Prince about this?" Yan Nanchen became serious, "I watched the Seventh Prince's return to Beijing this time, and I didn't have much interest in that position. ”

Yan Nanwan was silent for a while, and shook his head: "Brother, I hope you don't tell him about this." ”

Yan Nanchen glanced at her, got up, and walked out: "This is your business, I won't interfere, but you have to have a number in your own heart." ”

"I know. ”

Lifting the door curtain, Yan Nanchen walked out of the house and saw Xue Yan coming in over the wall, his footsteps paused, and he smiled warmly: "When did the Seventh Prince come? Why don't you go through the main gate?"

Yan Nanwan in the house listened to Yan Nanchen's words, and his whole body stiffened, and he didn't know how long Xue Yan had been here, and whether he heard the conversation between the two.

Xue Yan smiled: "As soon as I came in over the wall, Yan Gongzi came out." ”

Yan Nanchen and Yan Nanwan breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and he continued: "Nanwan stays in the house, the Seventh Prince will go in!"

"Thank you. Xue Yan strode into the house.

Yan Nanwan didn't bother to get up, continued to sit, looked at Xue Yan who came in, and teased: "Why did you start going over the wall again?"

"It's fun to go over the wall. He also smiled and teased, looking at the book in her hand, "Read again?"

"Idle, flipped through it. ”

Xue Yan walked up to her and wanted to sit down, but felt that she was a little far away, so he simply picked her up, let Yan Nanwan sit on his lap, and said with a smile: "There is one more interesting thing you can do than reading a book." ”

"What?" Yan Nanwan was puzzled.

"Look at me. ”

Yan Nanwan was stunned for a moment, and laughed casually: "Xue Yan, you are really getting more and more flamboyant." ”

Xue Yanquan was complimented, lowered his head and kissed her cheek: "I heard that the crown prince and brother are coming to you." ”

"Well, I was sent away by my brother. Yan Nanwan said casually, lowered his head and continued to look at the book in his hand.

Xue Yan asked, "Where should he go next?"

"I must go to you first, and then go to Tao Xiaobei. ”

All this, Yan Nan had already expected.

It's just that there is another thing, which she can't get for sure, Tao Xiaobei's attitude.

Xue Yan saw the thoughts in his heart and said, "Xiao Bei will help your crown prince and brother." ”

"So sure?"

"Prime Minister Tao Cheng has returned to his hometown, Xiao Bei has been staying in the capital, he is just waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback. ”

"He's really going to meddle in government politics?"

Xue Yan bowed his head and said unhurriedly: "According to Xiao Bei's talent, if you enter the court, you will definitely not be worse than Tao Cheng." ”

"He is waiting for the crown prince to succeed him. Yan Nan said in a word.

Xue Yan patted her hand: "What does he want, what does he have to do with you and me." After the affairs in Beijing are dealt with, you and I will stay away from the capital and enjoy the world. ”

Yan Nanwan smiled and didn't speak.

As Xue Yan and Yan Nanwan said, after Xue Hanmu left the Yan Mansion, he went to the Prince's Mansion, but he couldn't find Xue Yan, and immediately asked people to find Tao Xiaobei.

Tao Xiaobei had been waiting for an opportunity, listening to Xue Hanmu looking for him, he deliberately revealed where he lived now.

Soon, Xue Hanmu got the news and immediately rushed to Tao Xiaobei's place to find him in person.

Tao Xiaobei lived in the largest inn in Beijing, and there was fragrant tea boiling in the wing, waiting for Xue Hanmu to come.

About an hour later, Xue Hanmu came.

Tao Xiaobei's eyes flashed with a slight surprise, his face was still as cold as ever, and he got up and saluted: "The grass people saw His Royal Highness the Prince, but they didn't know that His Royal Highness the Prince's arrival was far away. ”

Xue Hanmu smiled: "When, when did Tao Gongzi also learn to be so hypocritical?"

Tao Xiaobei made a gesture of "please", sat down together, poured a cup of tea, pushed it in front of Xue Hanmu, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "In the past, no one was used to relying on the identity of the prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but now he is a grass people, so he should naturally know some etiquette." ”

"Rare, rare. Xue Hanmu picked up the teacup, drank it all in one gulp, looked at Tao Xiaobei, and his face became serious, "I don't know what Tao Gongzi's plans are in the future?"

"One day at a time. Tao Xiaobei said lightly.

Xue Hanmu looked at his face, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

Before coming, Xue Hanmu was fifty percent sure that Tao Xiaobei was waiting for him to come to him. But now, he feels that he thinks too much, and Tao Xiaobei has no intention of entering the dynasty at all.

Tao Xiaobei helped Xue Hanmu's teacup fill it again, and asked, "Is there something wrong with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming to me today?"

"Can Tao Gongzi know that Hua Chen was left by someone?"

Tao Xiaobei smiled sarcastically: "This woman grass people don't want to hear her name anymore." ”

If it was placed in normal times, Xue Hanmu would definitely test Tao Xiaobei well, but now it is different from the past, Hua Chen's replacement is not a trivial matter, and he must find it as soon as possible, otherwise his father will be angry, and his good days will come to an end.

"Is Tao Gongzi willing to help this palace?"

"How can I help?" Tao Xiaobei raised his eyebrows, "Now that I'm just a grass people, what can I do to help His Royal Highness the Prince?"

He has to take the absolute initiative, and only in this way can he achieve his goal.

Xue Hanmu hurriedly said: "You help this palace find Hua Chen, this palace promises you to make you prime minister after this palace succeeds to the throne." ”

Tao Xiaobei smiled: "Prime Minister Caomin is not rare, I just hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can let Caomin kill her with his own hands when he finds Hua Chen's woman!"

"Okay, Hongu promises you. ”

Tao Xiaobei looked at Xue Hanmu, and lowered his head to add tea: "It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in a hurry." ”

"When Hongu was in charge of this matter, the criminal escaped, and Hongu was naturally anxious. ”

"The grass people will send the criminals to the East Palace within three days. Tao Xiaobei said confidently, "Send it in person." ”

Xue Hanmu frowned: "Can it be two days?"

Tao Xiaobei laughed: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really overestimates the grass people, the grass people are not the Seven Princes or Lord Yan, so naturally it will take more time." ”

Although Xue Hanmu was anxious, he couldn't do anything, so he nodded and agreed.

After Xue Hanmu left, Tao Xiaobei sat alone in front of the boiling tea and pondered, he watched the tea continue to boil, and laughed heartily.

"You're in a good mood!"

"Master. ”

Tao Xiaobei looked at the masked man who appeared in the room, hurriedly got up, put back the smile on his face, and even his usual cold and noble appearance was gone, looking humble and respectful.

The masked man glanced at the tea cup on the table and laughed: "Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come down?"

Tao Xiaobei nodded yes.

"How many days did you say how many days did you send people there?"

"Three days. ”

The masked man walked to the chair next to him and sat down, picked up the teacup that Xue Hanmu had just drunk, and played with it in his hand: "Three days is too long." ”

"But, master, the subordinates must find Hua Chen first. ”

Three days is his limit.

The masked man threw the teacup on the ground, making a crisp sound, and the teacup shattered: "I have already arrested the person, and you will send the person to the East Palace tomorrow." ”

Tao Xiaobei was surprised, and quickly put away the expression on his face again, and regained his composure: "Yes." ”

"You have to be stronger than both Xue Yan and Yan Nanwan. ”
