It was night, and a dove fluttered across the sky and landed on the ground in the Begonia Courtyard, cooing.

Xi Yan took the note taken from Xi Yun's hand, and after reading it carefully, his heart was very happy: "Qi An is a smart person after all, and he still figured it out in the end." ”

Xi Yun saw that Xi Yan was in a good mood, so he joked: "If you are a smart person, isn't Lord An a completely ignorant person?" ”

Xi Yan had a faint smile on his face, and his eyes were full of tenderness, "She's also a smart person." ”

Xi Yun sighed lightly: "Gongzi Qi also made an appointment with the Fourth Young Master when he was late, it seems that the Fourth Young Master really disappointed him." ”

Xi Yan waved his hand, "As expected, if Qi An doesn't go to Xi Qing, then he won't be the eldest son of the Qi family." However, Xi Qing was beyond my expectations, and he rejected Qi An directly without thinking about it. If Xi Qing gave him any chance, Qi An would not have directly agreed to cooperate with me in the letter. ”

After that, Xi Yan looked at Xi Yun fixedly and asked, "Such a talentless and virtuous person, but in a higher position than you, do you think it is dazzling?" If he is not only glaring, but also blocking your way, find a way to destroy it. If the Xi family has been in his hands for a long time, I am afraid that it will be less than ten years... The Xi family is no more. ”

Xi Yun hesitated again and again, but still said: "Young master, even if you end up with a fratricidal infamy, are you willing?" ”

"I don't care," Xi Yan sighed lightly, his eyes reflected the leisurely loneliness, "The so-called hairpin family, the noble family, outsiders just see the glory on their faces, and ignore the filth in it." Not to mention between us, how did my father win the position of head of the family back then, can we hide it from everyone? Since he was born here, this infertile body is destined to carry more things. But since we have already torn our faces with him, we are destined to only live one, but no matter what the outcome is, it will be difficult for my father to accept. ”

Xi Yun lowered his head and was silent for a while.

"Between me and him, I can't even tell which is black and which is white, but where is the absolute black and white? Absolute... It's just a matter of winning or losing. ”

Xi Yun nodded lightly, "I understand, what you have to do, young master, is what I have to do, if you are embarrassed, let me memorize some infamy." ”

"Not necessarily. What I do, I will naturally admit. Then, Xi Yan chuckled lightly and asked a little playfully, "What I want to do is what you want to do, right?" ”

Xi Yun hurriedly reacted, waved his hand and said, "Except for Lord An, except for Lord An." ”

In the night sky, Xi Yan's clear laughter passed through the treetops, through the wind and snow, and fell on someone's dream.

While the two were joking, there was a soft knock on the door of the study.

Xi Yun turned around and opened the door, and saw a servant girl standing at the door with a tea tray in her hand. Xi Yun calculated the time and found that this was the time to change the tea, so he personally took the tea tray and put the tea cup in front of Xi Yan.

After the last assassination, the rules in the Begonia Courtyard have become much more exquisite. Xi Yan was close to him, except for Xi Yun, there were only two or three familiar maidservants.

Xi Yan picked up the tea cup, put it to his lips and took a sip, and his face was a little unhappy, "Why do you only put so much tea in today's tea?" ”

Seeing Xi Yan's reproach, the maid said timidly: "If you go back to the young master, you usually put so much." ”

"Really?"

"Really..."

"Still quibbling!" With a wave of Xi Yan's hand, the azure glazed tea cup suddenly fell to the ground and shattered into several petals, and the hot tea soup also poured all over the ground. And the maidservant girl standing with her hands hanging down on the side also immediately knelt on the ground and trembled.

Seeing this, Xi Yun hurriedly came out to stop him, "Young master, it's just a cup of tea, don't be angry." He looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground again, and said with some regret, "This kind of glaze that has rained through the sky is hard to find over the years......

Xi Yan also realized his gaffe at this time, and after thinking for a while, he looked at the servant girl who was lying on the ground trembling and panicked, and ordered, "That's it, you go down." ”

The maidservant was pardoned, and hurriedly withdrew from the study.

After the door was closed again, Xi Yan looked at Xi Yun with some doubts, "Do you think that this time... Particularly irritating? ”

After thinking about it carefully, Xi Yun affirmed: "That's true. As I passed by the porch this morning, I heard a few maidservants muttering to meander. ”

"Muttering what?"

"Say you've been having a hard time serving lately, throwing things and blaming people at every turn. With this azure glaze, it's already the fifth... You've never been like this before. ”

Xi Yan nodded, frowned and began to ponder, "When did I start doing this?" ”

"I don't know," Xi Yun looked at Xi Yan and shook his head, "You think slowly, I'll go serve you medicine." ”

"Hmm..."

Medicine? Since his last assassination injury, Xi Yan has been taking medicine to recuperate. But externally, they all claimed that Xi Yan was suffering from the wind cold and needed to drink medicine. The subordinates of the Begonia Courtyard have always been well trained, and those who are suspicious will never allow them to wait closely, but ...... It is inevitable that there will be some negligence of your own.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan couldn't help frowning and began to think deeply.

After a while, Xi Yun returned to the room with a bowl of jet-black medicinal juice, and cautiously put the medicine bowl on the table, lest he accidentally spill a drop.

Xi Yan stared at the bowl of very familiar medicine in his hand, but he didn't rush to eat, but said, "I've been drinking this medicine for more than a month, right?" ”

Xi Yun thought for a while, and Fang said, "No more, no less, just a month and a half." ”

"When did I start throwing things and scolding people?"

Xi Yun recalled it carefully before hesitating and saying, "It seems... That is, in the last half a month. ”

"You don't doubt this medicine, do you?"

As he spoke, Xi Yun was a little unconvinced, "This medicine is loose and good for injuries." Moreover, Fang Zi looked for several doctors separately, and those doctors did not know each other, so it stands to reason that there would be no problems. ”

"Hmm... It's hard to say. ”

Speaking of this, Xi Yan put the medicine bowl back on the table and instructed Xi Yun, "You go and put away all the dregs of their medicine." Early tomorrow morning, we will take it out for Mr. Lin to see. Remember, don't let anyone find out. ”

"My subordinates understand."

Looking at this bowl of thick black medicinal juice, Xi Yan's heart became a little angry, and he snorted coldly, "He can be regarded as having made progress, and he knows that he has reached out to the Begonia Courtyard." ”

"Fourth Young Master?" Xi Yun's eyes flashed, and he thought for a while, "Indeed, he has the most skill." ”

Xi Yan sneered like ice, and his eyes were like a cold pool, "A few days ago, I said that he only knew a few words of shouting, but it turned out that we underestimated him." People can work in the dark. ”

Xi Yun looked at Xi Yan and smiled, but he couldn't laugh, "In the final analysis, this matter is a problem within our Begonia Courtyard, and it seems that we have to rectify it." ”

"Makes sense." Xi Yan raised his hand and stroked his chin, thinking and said, "Today is medicine, tomorrow may be something else." You have to be careful when you drink and eat, and you still send a few secret guards to keep an eye on those suspicious subordinates. Although it is a bit overkill, it is indeed more secure. ”

……

The jet-black medicinal soup was slowly poured into the vase, and Xi Yan's eyes were as cold as the night when he looked at the medicine.
