Xu Manning looked at Qi Yan in disbelief, his breath became unstable, but Qi Yan was the best at observing people, and he could see that this idea made Xu Manning's eyes burn with flames, like,.

She was excited about the idea.

But even so, she still tried her best to suppress her emotions, pretending to be a little unwilling, and whispered, "But...... But she can still do it to me. I hurt her like this, and it's a bit ......."

Pause, to say goodbye.

Qi Yan lowered his eyes, carelessly, and with a little bewitchment: "But she doesn't treat you much, right?" Even guarding against you no matter what. Blame you. It stands to reason that she is from the eldest princess, so how good do you think she is to you? Where did I introduce you to the Queen Mother? Have you been introduced to a few princesses? None of them, right? Speaking of which, she just doesn't want you to reach out to more people. After all, Min Zhirui is still at the border, and if you go out a lot, she may not be at ease. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled: "I will watch you and avoid you from having other men." She doesn't believe in you that much in her bones. ”

Saying this, Xu Manning did feel this way, she was immediately dissatisfied, and the state of the whole person was even more exposed. Qi Yan made persistent efforts: "It would be different if she disappeared. Your mother-in-law must follow Min Huai, it is impossible for her to return to the capital to live, there must be someone in this capital. In the future, everything in the house is not up to you? In this way, when they come back when they are older, you have already held the house, what can your mother-in-law do? ”

Speaking of this, Qi Yan smiled: "I'm all for your good, you should know, what does all this have to do with me?" I just don't want you to live like this, being pressed every day, what's the point? ”

His fingers slid over Xu Manning's face: "I won't hurt you." Whether Mrs. Min is alive or dead has nothing to do with me, but I really don't want to see you live like this. ”

Xu Manning Chi asked: "I, I am naturally willing, but what should I do?" Won't someone find out? When a good person dies, there must be an explanation, right? The old lady is the emperor's aunt. ”

Qi Yan laughed and said with emotion: "Silly girl, what is the way not to say it?" When people are so old, it is normal for them to be in poor health, and if they accidentally fall and bump it, who can say that someone must have done it? ”

He shook Xu Manning's shoulder: "If you want." You know, I have the power. ”

Xu Manning stared at Qi Yan, and Qi Yan smiled: "Look? ”

Xu Manning finally couldn't help it, she whispered: "Okay! ”

Qi Yan didn't hear it, Xu Manning's voice was a little louder, serious: "Okay, I'm willing." ”

There was a little more fierceness between her eyebrows, "Okay! I want her dead. ”

It's just that when she said this, she became worried again: "But if she dies, there will be people coming and going in the house, and you will live here, won't there be a problem?" ”

Qi Yan smiled indifferently: "As long as you are good, my crisis is nothing." Moreover, the old lady is dead, you are the housekeeper, you control everything in the house, what are you worried about? Even if Min Huai and Min Zhirui came back to mourn, I had already left at that time! You don't really need to worry about anything more. ”

Saying this, Xu Manning was finally relieved. She said, "Well, in that case, the matter is settled." ”

Qi Yan shook his head and paused, as if inadvertently, he asked, "Do you know anything about Princess Yu?" ”

Xu Manning immediately became vigilant: "Why are you asking her?" ”

Xu is because most of the men around her have a good impression of her, so Xu Manning will be extra cautious when mentioning this person.

Qi Yan is such a smart person, he immediately laughed, and said slowly: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm interested in Rong Zhan and thinking about whether I can start with Princess Yu." ”

Xu Manning sneered: "That woman! Lord Yu is going to hold it in the palm of his hand. I don't know if she's a female goblin, who knows witchcraft, and everyone who always coaxes her likes her and treats her well. But I know she's not a good stubble. You look at her gentle, lovely and noble, in fact, who knows! In fact, there are two girls in their family, one is Chengyue in the big room, and the other is Qingyue in the second room, both of whom disappeared quietly because they offended her. He said that he was infected with an infectious disease and went to live in the temple. But if you stay here, there will be no news. Hehe. Even if it was that Su Qiaoyue, Su Qiaoyue hated her so much, but she didn't dare to come out and talk nonsense at all, every time she mentioned this, her face was a little weird. ”

Qi Yan smiled: "She's so powerful? ”

Xu Manning nodded: "Naturally powerful, do you know?" It's the county lord of Changge, who has a very good relationship with her, she originally played well with me, but she was very disgusted with Su Jiaoyue before. Look at it now, you can't find the north that has been completely coaxed by Su Jiaoyue. would rather marry Su Yuanan. The second room of the Su family is not prominent, you must know that Changge is the lord of the county, and he is really married. ”

Qi Yan listened to this and nodded: "So, this girl is not easy to deal with." ”

Xu Manning sighed: "Where is it difficult to deal with, she is very powerful." She and her younger brother Su Qi'an can even be coaxed by the emperor, which shows how scheming they are. ”

Qi Yan: "Su Qi'an seems to have a good relationship with the second princess of Qisu?" ”

"No, it's spread all over the outside, and I heard that after the imperial examination, I will leave for Qisu. I have also heard that His Majesty promised that no matter what Su Qi'an looked like, he would send someone to accompany him. Look at the treatment. I've also heard a lot of rumors that it's really unlucky to say who will take the exam with Su Qi'an this year. The last champion was hand-picked by His Majesty. What does it mean for self-evident, right? ”

Qi Yan bowed his head, he saw that Xu Manning couldn't say the result he wanted, so he went around.

"I heard that she frustrated the Xiliang Mission in the New Year?"

Speaking of this, Xu Manning nodded: "I'm not saying that she is not talented, she is still very good at mathematics and chess." But just because she's good doesn't mean she's a good person. ”

Qi Yan smiled and nodded.

"Alright. You should go back early, so as not to be targeted, and I will help you dispose of the old lady in these two days. ”

Xu Manning suppressed the excitement in his heart and said yes.

When she left, Qi Yan called Zhao Er over and explained carefully.

Zhao Er was actually puzzled, and he cautiously spoke: "Lord Wang, kill Old Lady Min, Min Huai and them will definitely return to Beijing, so it is not safe for you." ”

He is also worried about the prince.

However, Qi Yan said slowly: "You think I don't know this? No, that's exactly what I wanted. Only when the capital is in chaos and General Min and they all come back, can I take advantage of the chaos to leave. Don't you see? It is not easy for us to leave smoothly now, and we can only take some measures. ”

This time he didn't feel very good when he came to Daqi.

Zhao Er finally understood: "It's still the prince's wisdom." ”

Waiting for Zhao Er to leave, Qi Yan pondered, she was not good at mathematics, she was very poor in this aspect at the beginning, so it seems that Su Jiaoyue is not like her again.

He smiled bitterly to himself, but he was helpless, and he felt that he was a little bored.

He eased up and calmed down, since Su Jiaoyue is not that person in many tests now. He was also a lot more relieved, thinking that it was time to go back and deal with the affairs of the Northern Han Dynasty.

Thinking of this, he became more and more calm.

***

In the evening, Rong Zhan sat in the study and read the drawings. With him was Su Qi'an.

Jiaoyue came over with refreshments, smiling.

When Rong Zhan saw her coming, he immediately got up, took the tray in her hand, and said, "Why didn't you sleep for a while?" ”

Jiao Yue glanced at him with a smile and said, "I'm here to see my brother, is it possible to come to see you?" ”

Rong Zhan raised his eyebrows.

Jiao Yue said again: "You are not important. ”

Rong Zhan didn't care that she was still there, so he hugged her: "Don't lie, you will be punished if you lie." ”

Jiao Yue has never shown affection in front of others, he looks like this, and in front of his own brother, Jiao Yue's face suddenly turned crimson and was unsightly.

She nudged him and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense, you're messing around, I'm angry." ”

It's good, Qi'an touched his nose, not knowing whether he should leave or stay.

Jiaoyue saw that Rong Zhan didn't let go, and stomped her feet, "You hate it, let it go." ”

Rong Zhan finally let go of his hand with a smile, but he took her little hand and said, "Come, let's take a look at the map together." ”

Jiaoyue hummed and followed to the table.

Rong Zhan looked at the dim sum and knew that it must have been made by Jiao Yue herself, and he was not too reluctant to let Su Qi'an eat it, so he put it far away, only where he could reach it, tasted it, and smiled: "Your craftsmanship is getting better and better." ”

Qi'an: "...... Can you think about me being here? ”

Rong Zhan raised his eyebrows: "Who cares about you?" ”

This is very frustrating.

Qi'an: "......"

Rong Zhan smiled and said, "Do you want to study the right thing?" ”

Qi'an: "I also want to eat dim sum made by Jiaojiao." ”

Rong Zhan sneered: "Go back and let Qingmeng make it for you." ”

This is quite a scoundrel, Qi An's eyes moved, and then he looked at Jiaoyue aggrievedly: "Sister, you see my brother-in-law bullying me like this, in fact, I am also hungry." Sister ...... "It's not called Jiaojiao at this time, it's a sister."

Sure enough, Xiao Jiaoyue, who was bewitched, immediately brought the snack to her younger brother: "Hurry up and try my craftsmanship, Brother Zhan said it is very good." ”

Even if you can't eat it, your brother-in-law will say it's the best, as long as it involves you, he not only has a problem, but also has a problem with his taste buds.

He tasted it, then his brows stretched, and he appreciated in surprise: "Jiaojiao, it's really good!" ”

Jiaoyue's eyes immediately crooked.
