It was already sunset when Xie Yanhe came out of the palace, and she glanced back in the direction of the palace, the golden glazed tiles were hidden in the half-light and half-darkness, like a dormant beast.

Xie Yanhe hooked his lips and got into the carriage back home.

"Mandarin duck, bring my brother's reply." After Xie Yanhe returned home, he didn't have time to change his clothes, and went straight to the direction of the study.

Hearing this, the mandarin duck took out a square brocade box from the box and lightly placed it on the bookcase.

Xie Yanhe opened the box and pulled out the top letter, there were only a few sentences on the letterhead, Xie Yanhe read it word by word, and there was a touch of deep thought in his peach blossom eyes.

Although it is said that "open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent", since my brother has been prepared, how can he disappear? Could it be that besides Chen Rong, there are other people who also want his brother's life?

Xie Yanhe frowned. The maid who was waiting in the study carefully lit the lamp, and the originally dim light instantly brightened.

Xie Yanhe supported her with her hands, a pear-blossom-like pale and quiet face hidden in the shadows cast by the Black Sour Branch Duobao Pavilion, and the flickering candle flame was bright and bright in her peach blossom eyes, and the broken gold was like a spark.

"Call Lin Cheng. I have something to command. ”

The mandarin duck was stunned when he heard this. Lin Cheng is the secret guard in the house, and this hole card cannot be moved until the very moment.

The mandarin duck pushed open the door and glanced outside the house. Cherry and banana are like two door gods, respectively on both sides of the door of the study, the mandarin duck footsteps paused, and couldn't help but retreat into the study.

Xie Yanhe raised his eyebrows: "Got a problem?" ”

The mandarin duck's lips moved silently, and his finger pointed in the direction of the door.

Lin Cheng is different from ordinary practitioners, in case he accidentally shows traces in front of cherries and plantains, causing His Majesty's suspicions, it will not be good.

"It doesn't matter." Xie Yanhe said lightly.

She wants to see where Wei Zhao's bottom line is. and Chen Rong, who repeatedly bullied her, and even started her brother's idea, I really thought she was a good (sexual) child!

After telling the situation outside the study, the mandarin duck saw that the county lord did not change his original intention, did not say anything more, and turned around and walked out of the house.

Xie Yanhe didn't wait long, and then he saw a young man dressed as a scribe pushing the door in, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, not only did he not have the slightest martial temperament, but he looked like a well-mannered scholar.

"Mr. Lin is here?" Xie Yanhe got up and bowed half to Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng hurriedly avoided it, his eyebrows lowered, and his expression was very respectful: "I don't know what the county lord commands?" ”

Xie Yanhe raised his hand and pointed to a circle chair opposite him: "Sir, please take a seat." ”

After Lin Cheng sat down, Xie Yanhe began to talk about business.

"Sir, a few days ago, the head of Daxing Grange came into the house to deliver game, and said that there was a thief in the Grange. Although we have already reported to the official, it is better for our own people to take a look. What does the gentleman think? ”

"The county lord can rest assured, he will definitely get things done." Lin Cheng stood up and bowed in the direction of Xie Yanhe.

Xie Yanhe took out a token, handed it to the mandarin duck, and watched the mandarin duck transfer it to Lin Cheng, she said solemnly: "There is Mr. Lao." ”

Lin Cheng took the token and touched the purse in the cuff without a trace, which was stuffed by the mandarin duck without a trace when he handed over the token. Lin Cheng's eyes suddenly had a hint of clarity.

There are thieves making trouble in Daxing Grange, this is just a reason, you don't have to go out by yourself, the things in your purse are the purpose of the county lord to invite yourself over tonight.

Lin Cheng retreated, and when he left the house, the corner of his eye swept over the two ordinary-looking maids at the door, his eyes flashed, and he left the courtyard in a dashing manner as when he came.

Xie Yanhe sat quietly in front of the bookcase, his glamorous face was calm and unwavering, and there was no expression on his face. But the mandarin duck followed her for a long time, and she still felt that the county lord's mood was not very good.

What Mandarin Duck didn't know was that Xie Yanhe had a big fight with Wei Zhao before leaving the palace.

The elder brother was assassinated on the way back to Beijing, and Xie Yanhe was 100% sure that it was Donggong's hand.

The palace was full of Qinglongwei's eyes and ears, and Xie Yan and Wei Zhao didn't know it.

Even if Wei Zhao was kept in the dark at the beginning, and the news of his brother's assassination came, Wei Zhao ordered a thorough investigation, and he should have known.

But a day has passed, and Wei Zhao still has no results here. Every time he asked on the side, Wei Zhao said a few perfunctory words.

Xie Yanhe sneered, saying that he was as important as Jiangshan Sheji, but he didn't cover up his daughter-in-law.

She even thought maliciously that if it weren't for Wei Zhao's unpretentious attitude towards Chen Rong, the crown princess, she would have suspected that Wei Zhao and Chen Rong had something.

The final result was that Xie Yanhe couldn't hold his breath and directly pointed the finger at the East Palace, but Wei Zhao turned cold and scolded her for "messing around"! Xie Yanhe was furious and swept all the four treasures of the study on the dragon case, and left the palace angrily.

Xie Yanhe walked out of the main hall, and he could still hear Wei Zhao's majestic, cold and angry voice: "Let her go!" Do some soul-searching! When do you know you're wrong, when will you come back to see me. ”

Xie Yanhe paused, her delicate red lips hooked up a sneer, she didn't look back, and left with her steps like the wind.

Joke! The man waited for her to reflect, and it was better to dream sooner.

As for Chen Rong, didn't Wei Zhao want to protect this daughter-in-law? Then I'll collect a little interest myself.

"What about the post handed over by Master Su a few days ago? Find out, and I'll go to the feast in a few days. ”

After Xie Yanhe finished speaking, a trace of lightness appeared on his delicate and beautiful eyebrows, and the anger around him seemed to have passed through the water without a trace, and dissipated without a trace.

She wanted to see how long Wei Zhao, the emperor's shelf, could stand. If it keeps going, then it's better to shoot it in two.

Xie Yanhe's peach blossom eyes showed a hint of anger, if she, the future queen, couldn't even protect her own brother, it would be better to twist her hair and be a sister-in-law, and wait until the crown prince ascended the throne, but it was just a bowl of wine.

"County Lord, are you going to Lord Su's flower viewing party?" The mandarin duck was stunned.

If she remembers correctly, the eldest son of the Su family has always had some unspeakable thoughts about the county lord. Although the holy decree has been issued, even if Su Cen is given ten dares, he will not dare to offend the county lord, but if His Majesty knows about it, it will not be beautiful.

"Is there anything wrong?" Xie Yanhe's eyebrows frowned slightly, and his tightly pursed cherry lips revealed a hint of displeasure.

The mandarin duck hurriedly shook her head, since the county lord didn't see the thoughts of the eldest prince of the Su family, why did she bother to disturb this pool of spring water.

When Xie Yanhe heard this, he bent the corners of his lips shallowly, and his delicate and graceful eyebrows were dyed with a bit of nostalgia.

"I remember that the eldest son of the Su family once studied in Jiangnan, and also studied in the Gu clan for a year, so I had a few encounters with him, and I can also be called an 'old man'."

Xie Yanhe's voice was delicate and sweet, and his pretty face as white as jade showed a sweet smile, as if he had fallen into the memories of the past.

"At the Dragon Boat Festival last year, the team of Su Dagongzi and Cousin Gu won the first place in the dragon boat race, but they didn't look like a weak scholar."

Cherry came in to add tea to Xie Yanhe, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but go through the family surnamed Su in the capital in her mind.

Seeing Xie Yanhe's rare interest, the mandarin duck didn't want to say anything to disappoint the fun, but followed Xie Yanhe and said: "Master Su's riding and shooting has always been very good, don't underestimate people." ”

"Oh?" Xie Yan blinked with a pair of beautiful eyes, and the thick eyelashes were like the thin stamen on a poppy, beautiful and delicate.

Xie Yanhe smiled slightly: "You know more than me." ”

"When you were in Gangnam, you barely left the hospital. But the slave maid often walks around, and a few times I saw my cousin and Su Dagongzi shooting arrows on the martial arts field, and every arrow hit the bull's-eye. When Mandarin Duck mentioned Gu Yan, although his tone was very calm, he could still hear the regret in it.

Xie Yanhe's fingers were playing with the tassels on her waist, and her fingers couldn't help but tighten when she heard this.

After looking at the sky outside, she said excitedly: "It's not too early, let's go back to the room and rest." ”

"County Lord, you haven't had dinner yet." The mandarin duck stepped forward and grabbed Xie Yanhe's arm.

"No appetite." Xie Yanhe's eyebrows twisted slightly, her fair face was like ice and snow carving, she glanced at the cherry in front of her lightly, and walked out of the study.

After Xie Yan and the eldest princess Cong'an told her a personal matter, they never thought about Jiangnan again.

But this night, she dreamed of the days of her grandfather's family like never before.

Xie Yanhe came to Jiangnan from the capital, although he was given the title of the lord of Yonghe County, he was like a lost dog, and the people of the Gu family, including his grandmother, have always been respectful and polite to her, as if she was not the granddaughter of the Gu family, just a guest, and a tricky guest.

After a month of lukewarm, my grandmother changed her previous estrangement and suddenly began to detain her to learn the rules, and Xie Yanhe was still very puzzled at that time.

Xie Yanhe later thought that it was probably from that time that his brother and the Gu family revealed the intention of kissing each other, and his grandmother also agreed, and that was why there were those things later.

At that time, in addition to himself, the Gu family must have known the plan of the two families to get married.

Cousin Gu Yan is a courteous gentleman, always keeping in mind the great defense of men and women. Sometimes when I met him from my grandmother, he never squinted.

But one day, my cousin began to change his attitude, and every time he went out, he would bring himself some interesting gadgets. Sometimes it's a bamboo dragonfly, sometimes it's a bag of dim sum from Duowei Zhai, sometimes it's spring water from the Golden and Silver Spring, or a peach blossom from the mountains.

Xie Yanhe was silently meticulous and considerate of Gu Yan's moisturizing, and slowly removed the sharp thorns in his body, and no longer rejected people thousands of miles away. bumping into each other in the garden, two people either play a game of chess, or play the piano to enjoy the flowers, or simply taste tea, just spend an afternoon.

Now that I think about it, the time in the Gu family was the happiest time she had spent in the past few years, carefree and happy.

Xie Yanhe woke up from a dream, she did not alarm the maid on duty outside, but leaned on the bedpost and thought silently.

The brocade quilt was stuffed with a night pearl, and with Xie Yanhe's action of getting up, a little white and bright pearl light leaked out, hitting Xie Yanhe's cheeks like ice and snow, like an untouchable moon reflected in the water.

That day was the night of Shangyuan, colorful fireworks exploded in the dark night sky, the moonlight was beautiful, the lights were brilliant, and it was a prosperous and noisy world.

Although Xie Yanhe was wrapped up in the flow of people watching the lights, the guards brought with her surrounded her layer by layer, and the protection was not leaky.

When he walked to the Seventy-two Hole Bridge, Gu Yan, who was supposed to watch the lantern with his classmates, came from the crowd, he was carrying a lotus lantern in his hand, and when he saw Xie Yanhe, he naturally handed it over.

He stood in the sparks in the sky like this, his handsome face smiled slightly, Lang Yan was unique, and there was no other in the world.

He said, "The crowd looked for him a thousand times, and suddenly they looked back, but the man was in the lamplight." ”

Xie Yanhe's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she thought that the two of them had actually responded to another poem.

Who teaches the year of the red lotus night, the two places know each other.
