There seemed to be something extraordinary in those peach blossom eyes, Chu Nian watched him drink the wine in the cup with complicated eyes, and when he put down the wine cup, he returned to his appearance of being a hanger.

"If you have something to say, I know you must have something to ask me, otherwise I wouldn't have been silent all the way."

Chu Nian was stunned, but he didn't expect his intention to be seen by Tao Jinyan at a glance, so he had to smile bitterly before he said: "It's about illusion, the medicine you gave me when I had a headache before, is it the medicine of the Tao family?" ”

When these words fell, I saw Tao Jinyan frowning and thinking, "That medicine...... It's indeed in the treasure house of the peach family.,It's said to be able to cure a hundred poisons.,I always thought you were poisoned.,You mean.,The headache you suffered from before was an illusion? ”

Chu Nian nodded slowly, seeing this, Tao Jinyan touched his chin with interest, "This is interesting, I said why didn't my patriarch take out the medicine for me to use......" He raised his eyes, saw Chu Nian's slightly puzzled gaze, and coughed lightly, "I had a subordinate who was poisoned when he went on a mission, so I wanted to borrow that medicine to use, but my patriarch didn't give it." ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian sighed silently, "This is the case, then we want to borrow that pill to come out, can't we?" ”

Tao Jinyan's face was serious, as if he was thinking about something, and after a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's not impossible, the old stubborn said before, that thing is the treasure of my Tao family, if you want to take it out, you have to pass the resolution of the elders of the Tao family, last time it was because you helped the Tao family before, so the elders will be generous, but this time ......"

Chu Nian also understands that just one help is not enough for the Tao family to dedicate to them, Tao Jinyan can help her to this point now, it is completely because of the friendship between them, if you ask for something on this basis, it will be a bit excessive.

Seeing Chu Nian sigh softly, Tao Jinyan's peach blossom eyes suddenly flashed a little brightly, "I didn't say it, it's not impossible, what are you sighing." ”

Chu Nian raised his eyes and glared at Tao Jinyan angrily, "You can't have something to say together?" ”

Fang Fang grinned and filled the empty wine cup and sent it to Chu Nian again, "We haven't been drunk for a long time, you drink this cup first, let's talk slowly." ”

……

Until the early hours of the morning, the wine in the wine jar was finally empty, and when the shopkeeper went upstairs, Chu Nian and Tao Jinyan were already slightly drunk, Tao Jinyan shook his head and raised his eyes to look at Chu Nian, who seemed to be leaning weakly on the back of the chair, "Nian'er, do you know, I ......"

"Huh?" The equally slightly drunk person on the other side raised his eyes slightly to look at him, "What do you want to say?" ”

Her eyes are blurred, her cheeks are slightly red, and her ruddy lips are still stained with a little warm wine stains, and I don't know if it's because she is drunk, the voice coming out of those red lips is particularly reverie, Tao Jinyan couldn't help but squint a pair of peach blossom eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm drunk." ”

"I know." Chu Nian laughed lightly, his eyes fell on the hand of the shopkeeper who was shrinking to collect the plates, this stall, Tao Jinyan, who was looking at Chu Nian, couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper suddenly shook, turned around and fled with the empty plates and the wine jar and left the room.

Seeing that Fang Chu Nian smiled lightly and continued, "Why are you still scaring people." ”

Tao Jinyan smiled and rolled his eyes, supporting his drooping head with both hands, and a pair of peach blossom eyes with inexplicable emotions, "It's nothing, I just think that your drunk appearance is so cute." ”

Chu Nian poured the last drop of wine from the wine cup into his mouth, and wiped his mouth unsatisfied, "Haven't you seen it?" I thought we had such a hangover more than once. ”

"No," Tao Jinyan still held his head, a handsome face with an idiotic smile, his misty peach blossom eyes focused on the person in front of him, as if he had never seen it before, "You have never shown such a defenseless appearance in front of me, today is the first time I have seen you, I am very happy to think that you finally trust me completely." ”

The man suddenly raised a pair of willow eyebrows, "I don't trust you?" ”

Tao Jinyan shook his head and didn't speak, and after a while, he said while licking his thin lips: "You said, if it was not Ming Xiu who met you first, but me, what would you do?" ”

When these words fell, it seemed that there were sporadic smashed memories flashing in front of her eyes, Chu Nian suddenly remembered the little person she saw in the illusion that was given to her at that time, she lowered her eyes and thought quietly for a while, before turning to look at Tao Jinyan who was sitting opposite, and a pair of watery eyes seemed to gradually regain a little clarity, "What do you want me to do to you?" ”

"Of course I hope ......" Momo paused, his face seemed a little dejected as he leaned back in his chair, "There is no point in saying this now. ”

The atmosphere seemed to be in an awkward, at this moment the drunken spirit of the two drunk people was gradually dissipating, the cold open window blew in a cool breeze, and bursts of moisture spread in the air, Chu Nian and Tao Jinyan looked sideways together, the gloomy sky outside, through the candle flame reflected outside the room, as if they could see the drizzle sprinkled outside.

"It's raining again." Chu Nian frowned, as soon as autumn came, it was always rainy, humid and cold in the capital, and the charcoal basin burned with an inexplicable choking smell.

Tao Jinyan nodded lightly, "Let's go, I'll send you back, if Ming Xiu finds out that I left you late at night, I'm afraid I'm going to be crazy again, stay a few days, if I go back to Tao's house, tell you in advance, then you can also talk to Ming Xiu, so that he can rest assured." ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian looked sideways slightly, seeing Tao Jinyan's calm side face that seemed to be suppressing something, she felt a little distressed in her heart, but she just pursed her red lips, got up without saying a word, and when she walked to the door, she stopped again, and looked at Tao Jinyan who followed behind her with a serious expression, "If you need anything, I will definitely help." ”

The words were loud, Tao Jinyan suddenly looked stunned, he seemed a little panicked, a pair of peach blossom eyes were full of dodge, after a while, he couldn't help but smile bitterly with half-lowered eyes, and then said: "Well, if I have something, I will definitely tell you as soon as possible." ”

Chu Nian felt a pain in his heart, pretended not to see the flicker in his eyes clearly, lifted the corner of his skirt slightly and walked downstairs, and his back stiffened for a while.

He asked for it, I'm afraid she won't be able to give it.

The two of them were relatively silent all the way, and when Tao Jinyan sent Chu Nian into the gate of the Chu family, Chu Nian looked back and wanted to say something, but after all, he just pursed his red lips and turned into the lonely gate under the dark night.

When he returned to the Walnut Tavern, the shopkeeper was closing the door tightly, looking at the expressionless Tao Jinyan, he hesitated for a while before opening his mouth, "Shopkeeper, the eldest lady waited for you in the house for half the night, and now she is lying asleep in the house." ”

Tao Jinyan glanced at him slightly, his face seemed to be a little paler, nodded in response, turned around and walked towards the backyard, and when he arrived at the backyard, the candle flame in the room in the center was moving, and there seemed to be a figure lying in front of the desk by the window, he frowned, turned around, and walked in the other direction.

The next day was the palace banquet proposed by the Queen Mother, saying that it was to celebrate the return of the crown prince Ming Xiu's visit to Xichu, no one could believe that the Queen Mother would have such good intentions, but there was really no news from the concubine Liang and their side, Ming Xiu sent someone to check the entire palace since he returned, and no trace of Dark Rin was found, Dark Rin seemed to evaporate out of thin air, but the Queen Mother was really not in a hurry, as if Dark Rin had never existed.

Mei Xiang dressed up carefully for Chu Nian, and took out a new red dress from Tang Yunyuan, which was rejected by Chu Nian's righteous words, and it was still the white and elegant high-placket long skirt, with a slight powder on her head, a wooden hairpin made by Ming Xiu herself, half of the hair bun was coiled up, and the remaining ink-colored long hair was gently vented behind her, looking quite dignified and elegant, her eyebrows and eyes were still indifferent like a fairy outside the world.

When she went out, Mei Xiang still looked at her lady in a plain white dress with regret on her face, "Lady, how beautiful that red dress is, Your Highness will definitely be bright." ”

Chu Nian couldn't cry or laugh, "I didn't see His Highness when I entered the palace. ”

Mei Xiang pouted, at this time, Dark San had already gotten off the carriage, he glanced at Mei Xiang with a red face, and then turned his eyes to look at Chu Nian, "Lady, it's time to go, the palace banquet is about to begin." ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian nodded, and turned his eyes to look at Mei Xiang, who was still pouting, "Miss, it's time to get in the car, borrow your dark third brother to drive a horse, enter the palace later, and return it to you, I asked His Highness to ask you to go to the palace to have a good time, okay?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Mei Xiang's eyes suddenly lit up, every time she entered the palace before, she was in a hurry, she always wanted to go to the imperial garden to take a look, but now Chu Nian gave her this opportunity, and even more ...... Mei Xiang blushed and glanced at Dark San, who turned his head away, Chu Nian saw this scene, just smiled lightly, and pulled Mei Xiang into the carriage.

There was a light rain in the early morning, and now the air is fresh, Chu Nian occasionally lifted the curtain to look at the scenery outside the window, and the carriage drove through the block, heading straight to the palace, without saying anything all the way.

When Chu Nian got out of the carriage, he was greeted by Mingyue and Mingqiao, today the two of them dressed up, but they are also beautiful, now that Concubine Ling is back, Mingqiao doesn't have to pretend to be crazy and stupid, now the dress of a normal person, the already beautiful little face is more and more exciting.

It's just that the jumping temperament doesn't seem to be able to quit.

Seeing Chu Nian get down from the carriage, Ming Qiao looked behind Chu Nian while coming up, and blinked innocently with a pair of big eyes, "Just you and Mei Xiang?" ”

Chu Nian raised her eyebrows slightly, the dark three were leading the carriage to the little eunuch who came up, she looked back slightly, and then turned back to look at Ming Qiao, her eyes were dyed with a bit of a ridiculous smile, "And the dark three, the princess didn't come with the people who were waiting, and he called the princess to greet him at the door, which disappointed the princess." ”

Mingqiao half-lowered his head with some regret, and only after a while, did he react in the sneering laughter of Chu Nian and Mingyue, and raised his head in shame, "Okay, Chu Nian, you tease me again!" ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian made an innocent statement, "What I said is the truth, the princess doesn't want to beat me." ”

Mingyue helped, "That's it, I don't know who you're waiting for, aren't we here to greet Chu Nian?" ”

"Good! Sister Huang, you actually ...... too"

"Okay, don't make trouble," Chu Nian contemplated and looked at the two princesses with a serious face, "What news did the Queen Mother have from last night?" ”
