Chapter 72: The Alarm Bell (2nd Watch)

Wearing a cloak that blended with the night, An Huajin got out of the carriage, was led by the little eunuch, and quietly entered the Seven Princes' Mansion.

The study room of the Seven Princes' Mansion was lit up, and Chu Yan had been waiting in the study for more than an hour after dinner.

The little eunuch stopped at the door of the study and whispered, "Little county lord, His Royal Highness is already waiting for you inside, please inside." ”

An Huajin nodded, pushed open the door of the study, and walked into Chu Yan's study.

Chu Yan was standing in front of the table copying, he raised his head when he heard the sound, looked at the door, and when he saw An Huajin appearing in front of him in a good manner, his pupils shrank slightly, put down his pen, and looked at her quietly.

An Huajin unbuttoned his cloak, casually put it on the hanger on the side, and raised his eyebrows at Chu Yan, "Seventh cousin, is this self-cultivation?" ”

Chu Yan didn't answer, and asked rhetorically, "You have been in the capital these days?" ”

"Well, I've never been out of the capital." An Huajin came to the table, sat on the chair opposite Chu Yan casually, glanced at the calligraphy he practiced, and pouted, "Seventh cousin, you are quiet, your heart is not quiet, this character practice is a little impetuous." ”

Chu Yan pursed his lips.

An Huajin's fingers curled up, knocked on the table, and laughed in a tone of voice, "The seventh cousin was relieved of his position, locked up in the mansion and thought about it behind closed doors, and his heart was anxious and depressed? ”

Chu Yan suppressed his emotions, "No." ”

An Huajin looked at him with a smile, "What's that?" ”

Chu Yan looked at her, "Why haven't you left the capital yet?" What are you still doing in the capital? Don't you know that the capital is very dangerous? Your Majesty is determined to kill you, when do you plan to leave and return to Nanyang? ”

An Huajin looked at Chu Yan and said such a long time, and said with a smile, "Isn't this a few days of watching in the capital?" I want to see what His Majesty's attitude is towards me, and now I have seen it clearly, and I will leave Beijing early tomorrow morning. ”

"What are you waiting for tomorrow? When you go out from me today, depart. Chu Yan said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty summoned the eighth brother to the palace today for a secret talk, it should be that the eighth brother has given an order to the eighth brother to send someone to kill you." Over the years, the eighth brother has raised a lot of people under his hands, and there is no shortage of capable people. ”

An Huajin looked at Chu Yan, "Where did Seventh Cousin get the news?" You even know that Your Majesty has a secret conversation with King Jing? ”

Chu Yan glared at her heavily, "I got the news from King Jing. ”

"Oh, King Jing has your secret stake there?" An Huajin held his chin and was careless, "Seventh cousin, rest assured, the Ouchi guards sent by His Majesty have all returned in vain and have been handed over to me, and I am not afraid of the people sent by King Jing, I will clean up for him as much as he sends." Your Majesty will let King Jing kill me, and I will take the opportunity to help you clean up King Jing's minions, and see what else he can use to compete with you for the throne. If King Jing had been a cat and hidden in the dark, it would not be easy to do, but now His Majesty is pushing him to show his head, it is even better. ”

Chu Yan stared at her, "The inner guards sent by His Majesty, did you really kill them?" ”

"yes." An Huajin smiled, "Seventh cousin, you won't and don't believe that it was my hand, right?" She was overjoyed for a while, "I'll tell you the truth, the secret guard of Nanyang Palace, if it is the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, I am not so regular, and quietly bring the secret guards of Nanyang Palace, I will not be restrained by Wang Anzhi, Your Majesty wants to kill me, and dispatched 500 guards in the palace, but I didn't underestimate me, but, I underestimated the secret guards of the Nanyang Palace, he shouldn't only send half to keep half, he should be dispatched, then, the secret guards of the Nanyang Palace, and can't kill thousands of internal guards. It's a pity that Your Majesty is reluctant or afraid to release the other half of the remaining Ouchi guards to kill me. ”

Chu Yan looked at her indescribably, the secret guards of the Nanyang Palace's secret guards killed half of the inner guards, which was already a big deal, but she still felt that it was a pity that His Majesty no longer sent the remaining half of the inner guards to kill her.

He was speechless for a while, "You and Gu Qingyan ......"

An Huajin pursed his lips and smiled, "What does Seventh Cousin want to ask?" ”

Chu Yan was annoyed, "What do you say I want to ask?" ”

An Huajin looked at him innocently, "If you don't make it clear, how do I know what you want to ask?" ”

Chu Yan: "......"

He found that in the face of An Huajin, he was always easy to be mad by him, his good concentration was very good in front of anyone, but when he came to her, he was gone, he took a deep breath, "I'm asking you, that day, can he take you to find the antidote?" ”

"What are you looking for? Isn't he the antidote? And that's exactly what I like. An Huajin's face was not red and his heart was not beating, "So, why should I let him go?" ”

Chu Yan: "......"

He was silent for a moment, "Your Majesty has canceled your engagement, you know?" ”

"Yes."

"So, after you leave Beijing and return to Nanyang, what are your plans for the future?"

An Huajin blinked, "I just took this opportunity to take him out of Beijing and take him back to show grandpa, he hasn't seen grandpa yet." ”

Chu Yan was stunned, and his eyes suddenly widened, "You want to take Gu Qingyan back to Nanyang?" ”

"yes."

"He's the secretary of the ministry!"

"I know." An Huajin smiled, "Now Your Majesty is going to kill me, although I didn't shout at him, but if I see him, I will also be punished, and besides, I will also ask him about me, and if I can't ask, I may be angry." Your Majesty is like crazy now, he doesn't even care about my grandfather's face, and he has to kill me, that is, even the Nanyang Army is not afraid of turmoil, so for the Gu family, if Gu Qingyan provokes him, will Your Majesty move the Gu family? Although the Gu family is powerful, it is difficult to say that they have no military power, right? This joint, Your Majesty is angry, he still hides from His Majesty, it is better to go to Nanyang with me, and leave the old man in Beijing to slowly deal with His Majesty! ”

Chu Yan: "......"

That's true!

He still looked at An Huajin speechlessly, for a while, he couldn't say anything, An Huajin did not tremble, nor did he have a gloomy face, but smiled lightly, his words were soft and skillful, and the wind was light, as if it was a big thing, in front of her, it was not a matter.

It's obviously still a little girl's temperament, but what she does is very powerful.

He felt that His Majesty planted it in his hands, and it was not a loss, "So, you came to see me today to tell me that you are going back to Nanyang, and you will take Gu Qingyan back to Nanyang?" ”

"Well, not only that, I also want to tell the seventh cousin, the father and son of the monarch and the minister, since ancient times, the monarch and the minister, and then the father and son. What kind of person is Your Majesty? What kind of person is King Jing? I guess you know better than I do. An Huajin put away the casual smile on his face, and said to Chu Yan with a straight face, "King Jing is not profitable, His Majesty wants to kill me, the determination is so great, presumably, King Jing will take great profits, as for what this benefit is, it is naturally the position of the prince." ”

Chu Yan's face turned cold and he didn't speak.

An Huajin said again, "So, seventh cousin, you shouldn't be a foolish and loyal person, right?" I helped you clean up King Jing's minions, if the news comes back, King Jing will be angry, and he has nothing to do with me, so he can only go to His Majesty to cry, or to find trouble with you and your aunt, of course, he is looking for trouble with you, you are naturally not afraid, but what if Your Majesty is looking for trouble with you? I also hope that the seventh cousin is not afraid. ”

Chu Yan was silent.

An Huajin's voice aggravated, "Since Hua Ruyu entered the palace, His Majesty has become more and more stupid, and now he is acting very radically without considering the consequences, maybe this is what I said from my own point of view, but from the perspective of a bystander, I may not feel that His Majesty has done too much, after all, His Majesty has shouted out the words of the abolition two days ago." ”

Black clouds surged under Chu Yan's eyes.

An Huajin sneered, "My aunt has never made a mistake over the years, Your Majesty is going to be abolished because I killed Hua Ruyu, it's ridiculous, I hope that after my seventh cousin leaves Beijing, no matter what Your Majesty does to you, you will protect yourself and protect your aunt, if the hard one doesn't work, you will come to the soft one, when the soft and hard ones can't work, Nanyang is still your retreat, don't stay in the capital and let Your Majesty bully you." Lao Tzu bullied his son, a loyalty and filial piety pressed on your head, you can't bear it, won't you hide? There is no one in Nanyang who can bully you. ”

An Huajin's words were the most clear, and they also sounded a wake-up call in Chu Yan's heart in advance according to the emperor's half-crazy state.

She didn't think that the emperor would have much affection for her aunt, nor would she feel that she would have much father-son affection for Chu Yan. If you step on his sore feet, he can kill people by turning his face.

Don't repay with your kindness, and hope to give much charity to a dim emperor.

Chu Yan was silent for a long time, and under An Huajin's calm gaze, he nodded slowly and spit out a word, "Okay." ”

He didn't say much, but after listening to this simple word "good", An Huajin completely relieved his heart. Just don't give up, otherwise, she left the capital and was far away in Nanyang, if the emperor attacked Chu Yan, he himself would be loyal and filial, and no one would be able to save him.

After An Huajin finished speaking, he stood up, picked up his cloak again, put it on his body, and said casually, "I'm leaving, Seventh cousin, take care, tell my aunt to take care too, Nanyang is your backing, but it is also your home." ”

Chu Yan got up to see her off and let out a low "um".
