Wangdu has a strange building, called "Yunyan Pavilion", located in the lively market, doing business in the north and south of the world.

The well-known Yunyan Pavilion is a place where people gather in the rivers and lakes, and it is also a folk post office; As long as there is enough money and the name of a place, Yunyan Pavilion can deliver the letter or object to the destination.

Yun Yan is the messenger of the message.

But Yunyan Pavilion is actually a foothold of Yong'an Secret Guard in the royal capital, and she will take care of it after Xuan Jinhuan enters Beijing.

On the third day after Xuan Jinhuan and Yan Jingming met, Yunyan Pavilion ushered in an uninvited guest, holding Yunyan strings and proposing to meet the owner of Yunyan Pavilion.

At that time, Xuan Jinhuan was playing the piano in the attic by the window, and when she heard the report from her subordinates, she knew that the person she was waiting for was coming.

After a while, I saw my subordinate come in with a boy in blue, he looked young, but he had his own nobility in his gestures; Xuan Jinhuan knew his identity, so he motioned for him to sit down, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xie Lan, and said with a light smile: "I don't know if the distinguished guest is coming, the little girl has missed the welcome, please forgive me." ”

"Lan came uninvited and bothered the girl." Xie Lan said gently.

"The presence of His Royal Highness II in person can make the cold door shine." Xuan Jinhuan was still smiling.

Xie Lan took out the string and put it in front of Xuan Jinhuan, and said, "I came here today mainly to thank the girl for her great kindness; Three days ago, Xia Xiang was assassinated in the forest outside the city, but fortunately the girl rescued him and was able to escape. "Xie Lan is Xia Dan's quasi-son-in-law, this is a fact that everyone in the royal capital knows; Now Xie Lan has come to thank Xia Xiang, which shows that Xie Lan attaches great importance to his future father-in-law's family, and even has a little intention of wooing.

Xuan Jinhuan didn't go around the bush with Xie Lan, so he said directly: "Don't hide what His Royal Highness said, the little girl really has a plan to save Xia Xiang." ”

"The girl is straightforward, and I would like to hear about it." Xie Lan didn't expect Xuan Jinhuan to say this, so he was stunned for a moment and said.

"The little girl Xuan Jinhuan is from Yong'an. Although Jin Huan is a daughter, she also wants to do something; It is rumored that Jin Huan is only willing to help His Royal Highness the Second to achieve great things. Xuan Jinhuan looked at Xie Lan without changing his face and said.

It's just that these words have made Xie Lan's expression change greatly, perhaps suspecting that this woman may have been sent by her father or some prince, and after thinking about it carefully, she suddenly remembered: "The girl's surname is Xuan?" From Yong'an? After all, he is the son of Xuanhou, although Xuanhou died early, he also knows some things.

Xuan Jinhuan clearly said: "Jinhuan was originally an orphan girl, adopted by her stepmother, and took her mother's surname. The righteous mother Xuan's is the master of the Yong'an Secret Guard. "She dared to reveal the identity of Master Xuan to Xie Lan, which was actually what Master Xuan meant; In case Xie Lan didn't believe it, Xuan Jinhuan took out the Yongan Secret Guard token she was carrying and showed it to Xie Lan.

"Yong'an Secret Guard?" Xie Lan was surprised, "I thought that the Yongan Secret Guard was just a legend. ”

Xuan Jinhuan chuckled, who in this world does not regard Yong'an Secret Guard as a legend of the previous dynasty.

At this point, Xie Lan still doesn't know: "So, Miss Xuan is also a secret guard of Yong'an?" Did the Yongan Secret Guard ask the girl to help me? He asked a few questions in a row, Xuan Jinhuan nodded back, and he was puzzled, "This king has never had anything to do with Yong'an Secret Guard, why can I let the girl come thousands of miles to help this king?" ”

Xuan Jinhuan didn't know why his stepmother arranged it, so he could only speculate: "The mother of the Second Highness, the first queen, is also the princess of Yixing in the former dynasty. ”

"The king's queen mother died fifteen years ago." Thinking of her mother, Xie Lan's eyes darkened a little.

Xuan Jinhuan just looked at Xie Lan gently and didn't speak.

Xie Lan shook his head for a long time and said, "The kindness of the Yongan Secret Guard, this king understands it. It's just that this king has no intention of taking the throne, so he can only live up to Miss Xuan's good intentions. ”

For Xuan Jinhuan, this was the biggest joke she had ever heard, and Xie Lan actually said that he had no intention of taking the throne.

Xuan Jinhuan came to the royal capital from Yong'an, and he had also heard of the ups and downs above the court; The princes gradually grew up, and the battle for the throne was in full swing.

In this battle for the storage position, the most unlikely to stay out of it is the second prince Xie Lan; He is the concubine of Empress Xuan, even if he has no intention of taking the throne, he will be regarded by other princes and concubines as a thorn in the flesh, and the old ministers of the Xuan clan in the court will force him to be involved in this struggle.

Xuan Jinhuan smiled: "There is a sentence, but Jin Huan doesn't know whether to ask." Sitting back and fighting to the death, I don't know which one His Royal Highness is willing to choose? There is still a glimmer of life if you fight to the death, but if you sit back and wait to die, you can only be a man-made knife and I will be a fish. ”

"Miss Xuan really thinks too highly of Xie." Xie Lan smiled bitterly, and her tone couldn't help but feel a little self-pity, "My mother died early, and my father didn't want to see me." I just have the name of a prince, what do I fight for? ”

Regarding Xie Lan's situation, Xuan Jinhuan had also heard of it, and it turned out to be true; Xie Lan's situation is indeed very tricky, but after all, she also promised her stepmother, and there is no reason to retreat when she sees difficulties.

What's more, as Senior Brother Yan Qi said, her coming to the royal capital to find the young master is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and if she can, she must get the help of a person in a high position; Relatively speaking, Xie Lan is the best choice, and this is also a bargaining chip for exchanging conditions with each other.

Xuan Jinhuan took away the calculation in his eyes, then looked up at Xie Lan with a smile and said, "So if the Second Highness believes in Jin Huan, Jin Huan is willing to give advice to the Second Highness." ”

"How can Miss Xuan make this king believe in you?" Xie Lan also looked directly at Xuan Jinhuan's bright eyes and asked.

"It's not for His Royal Highness to believe in Jin Huan, but to believe in Yong'an Secret Guard." Xuan Jinhuan said unhurriedly, "Jin Huan is not talented, as long as His Royal Highness gives Jin Huan half a month, Jin Huan can give His Highness a big gift, and I hope His Royal Highness will accept it with a smile." ”

Hearing her say so surely, Xie Lan was suspicious: "After half a month, this king will come again, waiting for the girl's good news." ”

Xuan Jinhuan nodded: "Jinhuan will not disappoint His Highness." ”

After the two agreed, Xuan Jinhuan called his subordinates to politely send Xie Lan out; She stood by the window and watched the people coming and going, and the chief official sent by the owner of the East Division to assist her in her success, Yi Yucai, came over and asked: "Miss Jinhuan, is the Second Highness credible?" ”

"If His Royal Highness is so gullible about us, it makes me feel uneasy." Xuan Jinhuan said as she picked up the things that Yi Yu had given her before, it was a letter, and the name of the master's family on the letter was Zhu Wanqi, the general of the current dynasty, "Sister Yi, if I remember correctly, this General Zhu seems to have been a general of the Yongan Army in the past." ”

Yi Yu lowered his head and said: "General Zhu is the only person in the former Yong'an army who still keeps in touch with the Yong'an secret guard. ”

That being the case, it's no wonder.

Yong'an Secret Guard has not set foot in the royal capital for 20 years, and now as soon as she comes, General Zhu will send someone to send this letter, which should be that her stepmother has already revealed the news to him.
