Chapter 23: Little Known
Yan Da stood far away, looking at the smiling man in front of her, and suddenly remembered the scene of calm murder and dismemberment in the palace that day, and her heart was cold.
She paused, stayed a little farther away, and then said: "The third prince just said that he came to the mansion to find Song Zhan to talk about the affairs of the previous dynasty, why did he leave me here?" Childe is looking for me, what is the matter? ”
Xiao Rushu clasped the table with his index finger and chuckled: "Don't worry, Sister Yan will sit first." ”
"No need." Yan Da bluntly refused, lowered her eyes and bowed, and saluted in a proper manner: "If the third prince has something to find me, just say it directly." If there is nothing to do, I will have something to tell the third son. ”
Xiao Ru seemed to be a little surprised, stared at her for a long time, and then said after a while: "Sister Yan said first, what's the matter?" ”
Yan Da settled down, and the fragrant sweat handkerchief in her hand was taken out by her, and it was wet: "Dare to ask the third prince, but have you really seen things by the river with your own eyes?" Even if what the third son said is true, I don't know my son, why should my son cover me like this? ”
"What do you want?"
She said what she thought so bluntly, which made Xiao Ruyan a little surprised.
However, he was stunned for only a moment, and quickly raised his eyebrows again, and returned to normal.
looked at Yan Da in front of him, and didn't say a word for a long time.
Yan Da was drenched in cold sweat on her forehead, and tightly twisted the handkerchief in her hand, for fear that the man in front of her would explode into his nature, like a tiger and leopard eager to try, pounce on her and tear her to the ground.
For a moment, the room was terriblely quiet, only the tassel hairpin on Yan Da's hair rattled in the wind.
After a while, Xiao Ru suddenly hooked his lips and smiled, and said: "No wonder outsiders say that the Yan family is full of loyalty, and the women under the door are not good. Sister Yan is also a heroine among famous women, and she speaks informally. ”
Yan Da secretly wiped her sweat, and she didn't know why he didn't say it directly, but recounted these irrelevant words, bowed down and replied, "Thank you, Third Prince." ”
The words fell, and there was no sound again.
Yan Da was silent, and Xiao Ruwan was also silent.
The two seemed to be arguing silently over something, and they refused to speak first.
Xiao Ru stared at her for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Sister Yan and I are both smart people, I just don't say it, my sister should also understand what I mean." ”
Yan Da took half a step back, retracted her hand into her cuffs, and Shi Shiran said: "The little girl knows that she is stupid by nature, and she doesn't know what the third son said, but she still hopes that the son will make it clear." ”
As soon as the words fell, she suddenly thought of something, and after careful consideration, all her doubts were solved.
In her previous life, she was Yan Da, the daughter of the general of Huaihua, her father Yan Chu was killed in battle, her mother Lu Fuge was martyred, and she and her aunt Yan Yao married to the British Prince's Mansion.
A girl from such a background is naturally valued by the emperor.
First, to soothe the heart of the old minister, to feel sorry for the orphan girl, to show the face of tolerance in the saint.
Second, there is another little-known reason.
It's the seal she carries.
The seal was a reward for her father Yan Chu's hundred years of war, and it was given by the emperor, and there are only two in the world today, and the other has long been lost.
With this seal in hand, you can command the three armies for the monarch thousands of miles away, which is the real 'general is outside, and the military order is not subject to it'.
In her previous life, she did not keep this thing firmly, and she gave it all away after believing Song Jiao's words.
Thinking that Xiao Ruwan was eager to marry her into the palace, or to help, it was precisely for this reason that the plan was far-reaching.
