The time will pass.

Wei Xingzhen finally knocked on the door—but before the door opened, he realized that something was wrong, because the person who came to open the door was not a servant of the Wei Mansion, but Feng Yan.

"You're back."

Wei Xingzhen frowned slightly, "Why haven't you rested yet?" ”

"Because ......" Feng Yan was about to speak, when she suddenly saw Ji Ran following behind Wei Xingzhen, "Why is Master Ji here again?" ”

Ji Ran smiled, "There is a case in the past few days, and I will be with Lord Wei for a few days according to His Majesty's instructions." ”

Feng Yan let out a soft "oh", "Is it about the eldest princess and Taiwei Xue?" ”

Ji Ran was slightly stunned, "How does Childe know?" ”

Feng Yan smiled and took two steps back, "...... Let's talk first. ”

The hall closest to the north gate was brightly lit, and Wei Xingzhen and Ji Ran saw that Feng Yan was dressed in formal clothes tonight.

She still wears a single screw bun like when she was a girl, and a hosta is inserted diagonally on it, looking dignified and generous.

There was Feng Yan's tea set in the hall, and it seemed that before Wei Xingzhen came back, she had been sitting here alone making tea and waiting.

"In the evening, the palace people from the Taichu Palace sent a message," Feng Yan sat back in her place and said softly, "I thought that such a big thing had happened, and His Majesty might summon me today, so I changed my clothes and waited here." ”

Ji Ran nodded, "That boy can rest first, we just came back from His Majesty." It's so late, Your Majesty should have slept too. ”

"It's hard to say, maybe I'll wake up in the middle of the night." Feng Yan said softly, "Wait a little longer." ”

Ji Ran was stunned for a moment, and then understood.

Sun Youwei is extremely impatient with the matter of "waiting", there has always been only others waiting for her, there is no reason for her to wait for others, if anyone in the past was summoned but was late, they would inevitably have to bear an additional anger.

Thinking of this, Ji Ran sighed for a while, no wonder over the years, the prince has been in front of the imperial favor - it turned out that in order to meet His Majesty at any time, she would wait overnight.

The errand of the Imperial Palace...... It's really not easy.

Wei Xingzhen took off her robe and sat down beside Feng Yan.

"I'll wait with you for a while."

“…… No need," Feng Yan lowered her eyes and said, "Lord Wei has been working hard outside for a day today, so he should be tired." ”

Wei Xingzhen lowered her head and added a few pieces of new charcoal under the tea stove on the side, and whispered, "I'm not tired." ”

Ji Ran moved his toes a little uncomfortably - the couple opposite him was deeply affectionate, he just sat here and watched, and he always felt that he was not talking at this time, nor was he not talking, and he was uncomfortable.

Where do you look at it?

He looked at Feng Yan's hand on the other side to make tea, and a pair of thin silver bracelets on it jingled together from time to time.

Just look here.

"Where's Ji-sama?" Feng Yan looked over, "Aren't you going to rest too?" ”

Ji Ran hurriedly raised his eyes and replied, "No, I'll be where Lord Wei is these days, there may be some disturbances, please forgive me." ”

Feng Yan stopped the teaspoon in her hand, and a little surprise appeared in her eyes, "What bad thing did he do again?" ”

Wei Xingzhen heard something wrong, "...... I didn't. ”

"Why is Naki-sama staring at you?"

Ji Ran listened to the whispers of the two opposites, and his face became a little irritable. He pretended to be bitten by mosquitoes and scratched his neck, and then told Feng Yan everything that happened in front of the hall today.

"I see," Feng Yan smiled, "Then these days, doesn't Lord Wei have to go to the official office again?" ”

"I still have to go," Wei Xingzhen replied, "but before Your Majesty's 'Banquet of Keeping the Center' begins, there should be no more important official business than this matter." ”

Feng Yan smiled, "Then I invite Lord Wei to rest in the guest room these days, and don't come to the small building after nightfall." ”

"Naturally......," Wei Xingzhen quickly replied, "After all, it is Ah Yan's daily living place, and you can't let the living get close—"

Ji Ran stood up at this moment, "The two of you will talk slowly, I'll go outside to blow the wind." ”

Outside the hall, there was a camphor tree as high as the house, Ji Ran climbed the main branch in three or two, found a comfortable position to sit and lean, and could just see Feng Yan and Wei Xingzhen along the window, but the voices of the two of them had long been covered by the sound of the wind and insects.

Finally cleaned......

Ji Ran hugged his hands and with a serious gaze, he continued to stare at Wei Xingzhen's every move.

Is this the newlywed Yan'er?

……

"I'm still curious, how did Lord Wei lie?"

In the hall, Feng Yan's expression was still as calm as Fang Cai.

"The matter of borrowing the mansion from the Zhenguo Gong in advance can't be bypassed anyway...... How do you explain that you knew in advance that a monster would attack Mingtang? ”

"It's nothing, it's been more than half a month since Di Yang left Luoyang, and I was originally taking care of the Guogong Mansion, and I encountered demons and evil on the road, so I took you to the Guogong Mansion to take refuge temporarily......," Wei Xingzhen raised his glass of tea, "It's very reasonable." ”

Feng Yan understood-no wonder in the two days in the Guogong Mansion, the famous Guogong Di Yang never showed up.

"Where did Zhen Guogong go?"

"An old friend of his was coming to Luoyang from Shudi, and he got the news on the night of half a month, and he set out to meet him at dawn...... Counting it, I should be coming back in the past two days. ”

"Friends of Shudi?" Feng Yan felt familiar for a while, and then suddenly remembered that this morning by the peach blossom forest, Yin Shiyun also seemed to have said that a friend from Shu was coming.

Hearing the same "friend" from two different mouths in one day couldn't help but make Feng Yan pay attention.

“…… Who is this 'friend', does Master Wei know? ”

Wei Xingzhen looked at Feng Yan, "Ah Yan rarely asks about this, why is she curious about this today?" ”

"Oh, I also heard from Lord Yin this morning that a person from Shu was coming." Feng Yan replied calmly.

Wei Xingzhen choked.

He was silent for a moment, his tone a little subtle, "...... Has Yin Shiyun been here? ”

"No," Feng Yan shook her head, "It was Gorou who invited me to meet Master Yin at the edge of the peach forest." ”

There was silence all around.

Feng Yan quietly observed Wei Xingzhen's reaction on the side.

When she chatted with him about Yin Shiyun by Luoshui last night, Feng Yan felt some subtle emotions from Wei Xingzhen—not anger, not shame, but some kind of vinegar with restraint.

This really made Feng Yan a little puzzled, she was sure that someone like Wei Xingzhen must have come to her side with some purpose, since he asked him bluntly, he would prevaricate with some specious love words, so it was better to push the boat down the river and see what he wanted to do.

But jealousy......

Isn't that a little too emotional?

Seeing Wei Xingzhen sitting there quietly without saying a word, Feng Yan picked up the fair cup and poured herself another cup of tea.

“…… Still haunting last night's events? Wei Xingzhen asked.

"No, we talked about some things that Lord Wei wasn't interested in...... Things from the past. ”

Wei Xingzhen looked at the cup in her hand and was silent for a while.

“…… Today, in front of Gorou, I explained all those things clearly to Lord Yin. Feng Yan said softly, "As a result, before parting, Lord Yin told me that he might have found the score of "One Hundred and Six Yang Nine", because he has a friend from Shu who wants to -"

Hearing the words "make it clear", Wei Xingzhen's expression softened a little more, "Ah Yan doesn't need to talk to me so carefully......"

"Didn't Lord Wei take the initiative to ask?" Feng Yan said softly.

Wei Xingzhen frowned slightly.

Rather, he wanted to hear these things as well as he didn't want to hear them.

But rounding it up, I still don't want to hear it.

Feng Yan shook the tea in the cup, "So who is this person from Shudi, does Lord Wei know or doesn't know?" ”

Wei Xingzhen sighed silently.

“…… It's He Kui," Wei Xingzhen looked at Feng Yan, "Ah Yan should have heard of him." ”
