The wind was very cold at night, Cheng Huai looked ahead, tightened the cloak on the person in his arms with one hand, and pulled the plush hat, covering Tong Yan's little face.

"Hey." She shouted dissatisfiedly, lifted her hat up, and said coquettishly: "I can't see it anymore because I cover my eyes." ”

But the coldest person should be Cheng Huai, the cold wind is blowing in his eyes, and his face is so cold that he is unconscious.

Tong Yan was a little distressed, stretched out her hand, tilted her head and groped for Cheng Huai's face.

"Mess with something." Cheng Huai couldn't help but laugh and grabbed her little hand dancing on his face.

"Why isn't your face cold at all, as hot as my hands?" Tong Yan let him stuff his hand back into the cloak, and asked in shock and curiosity.

Cheng Huai hugged her tighter, rubbed her delicate little hands, and smiled slightly at the handsome face bathed in the dark night, "Wen Xiang Nuan Yu is in my arms, how can I feel cold, I'm sweating when I'm hot." ”

"What nonsense!" Tong Yan's face turned red, "Am I still a stove?" ”

Although Cheng Huai couldn't see Tong Yan's face, it was not difficult to imagine that she must be blushing at the moment, like a ripe cherry.

He chuckled twice, "I have internal strength, so naturally I am not as good as ordinary people." ”

Tong Yan choked, well, she was that ordinary person.

"You haven't answered my question yet, does An Le still want to marry in southern Xinjiang? Why don't you tell Your Majesty? She sulked.

Cheng Huai never spoke.

The wind was whistling, and Tong Yan was buried in her cloak as if she was isolated from the world.

She bit her lip and couldn't help but say again, "Is it for my reputation?" ”

"Not exactly." Cheng Huai blurted out without hesitation.

So why? Tong Yan didn't ask yet, but Cheng Huai said again: "This is not a marriage, this is a state matter." ”

He let out a long breath, "Xiri Ahong is not marrying for himself, he is marrying for the entire southern Xinjiang, and An Le is not marrying for himself, he is marrying for the friendship with southern Xinjiang." He paused, "Say something that shouldn't be said, Your Majesty's temperament, if he returns, he will definitely break with Southern Xinjiang and let An Le return to Beijing, and the king of Southern Xinjiang is ruthless and ruthless, and has always been self-respecting, even if the southern Xinjiang army is not strong, but they always like to make some bad moves, which catch people off guard, and it is the people who will suffer at that time, and the cost is too great." ”

"And." He sneered, "Your Majesty originally wanted to choose a clan girl to be the princess to marry, but Concubine Shu and An Le themselves were willing to marry Nanjiang, do you remember the little novice who was poisoned?" I suspect that the Jiang family colluded with Southern Xinjiang to reach an agreement, and An Le is that link. ”

Tong Yan was startled, opened her mouth, and was speechless for a while.

Jiang Jiaqiangzong's right surname, why do you want to collude with southern Xinjiang?

What more could they want? What else do you get?

One step further, it is the whole world!

Yes, it is not a way to borrow the power of other countries to support the four princes to ascend to the throne.

But this is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, as the so-called praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches behind, whether the Jiang family borrowed the momentum of southern Xinjiang, or southern Xinjiang took advantage of the situation to get the entire Central Plains in one fell swoop, it is not yet known!

"Jiang family, you can't be so stupid!" Tong Yan muttered in disbelief.

Although her voice was very small, Cheng Huai heard it clearly, and he smiled: "Your Majesty has not appointed the fourth prince as the crown prince for a long time, and the Jiang family has already realized it, and the concubines in the palace have been pregnant one after another, which makes the Jiang family panic." Previously, Zheng Meiren had a miscarriage, and the Queen Mother had noticed something wrong, but unfortunately she didn't catch the handle, and it is estimated that the Jiang family was a little anxious at that time, and wanted to turn passive into active. When Jia Jieyu became pregnant, the Jiang family tried again and again, but they couldn't make her slip the fetus, and they were even more anxious.

Southern Xinjiang is like a thorn floating in the water, and the Jiang family is a landlubber who is about to drown in the water, even if he knows that there is a risk, he is willing to take a risk. ”

Tong Yan frowned and said puzzledly: "If you can't get to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, isn't it bad to be a prince?" Why do you have to do this? ”

Cheng Huai laughed when he heard this, squeezed her little hand, and said with pity: "Little fool, as the so-called wealth and danger are sought, if everyone is so easy to satisfy, how can there be so many disasters." ”

"That's not what I meant." Tong Yan pouted and was unhappy, she explained: "I mean that the Jiang family can't conspire with the people of southern Xinjiang if they want to conspire, this, oops, anyway, you can't please eat good fruits at a glance, southern Xinjiang must be profitable, and it is a big profit, and even if you want to plot the entire Central Plains, you will extend an olive branch to the Jiang family." ”

Cheng Huai's eyes sparkled faintly in the dark night.

After a long time, he said slowly: "You are right, it is not profitable to be early, so since they have a plan, it is better to go with the flow first, see the move, and then follow the vine and kill with one blow." ”

His deep voice was particularly breathtaking in the endless darkness of the night.

Tong Yan leaned tightly in his arms and closed her eyes.

She was a little tired.

"Tong Yan, Tong Yan."

Is it morning? This voice seems to be Cheng Huai calling her?

She opened her eyes in a daze, and Cheng Huai's handsome face was staring at her with a gentle smile above her head.

Tong Yan suddenly remembered and suddenly widened her eyes.

Oh, she's still on the horse!

"Sober? You go in through the back door, it's not early now, it is estimated that the people in the house have already rested, I have already sent someone to tell King Yong, he is already relieved. His warm breath lingered on the top of her forehead, making Tong Yan's face red again, and she struggled to whisper to dismount.

Cheng Huai smiled and touched her cheek.

He asked Tong Yan to sit firmly, dismounted first, and then fished Tong Yan down.

Before Tong Yan could stand firm, he pulled Tong Yan into his arms again, Tong Yan stumbled under his feet, and quickly grabbed his shirt in a panic.

Cheng Huai closed his eyes tightly, sniffed the fragrance in her hair deeply, and quietly encircled her in his arms.

Tong Yan originally wanted to break open, but suddenly remembered that the back door of the house was hidden, and there were no guards outside, so she quietly let him hug her.

"Don't go to strange places with few people in the future, and bring more guards every time you go out." Cheng Huai said sullenly.

Tong Yan could feel his fear, she leaned on his chest obediently, nodded and said softly, "Okay." ”

"That's right." Tong Yan raised her head, "My two maids, as well as two secret guards, were all detained by Xiri Ahong......"

Cheng Huai pressed her on his chest again dissatisfied, "You don't have to worry about this, they will be back tomorrow." ”

Pressed against his chest, his voice buzzed, Tong Yan raised the corners of her lips slightly, and said coquettishly: "And the bracelet you gave me was also deducted by him." ”

The sound of "ding" was particularly clear in the empty alleyway.

The two of them subconsciously looked down at their feet, and there was a plain silver hairpin that had fallen in half, and the sharp blade that was exposed was shining.

Tong Yan smiled and hurriedly squatted down to pick up the hairpin, and put it together again, turning it into a complete silver hairpin, pinned in her hair.
