Li Dan smiled and asked sideways, "What is it?" ”

You'an replied word by word: "It's reputation." ”

Li Dan's shallow smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared because of this sentence. He was so thoughtful that even if he only heard a few words, he could already guess what You'an was thinking.

You'an barely supported it until this time, and she already felt her blood surging up, and she wanted to vomit in her chest for a while. She used to feel this way from time to time, but it wasn't strong, she just thought it was because she was always hungry and cold in the court, so it hurt her spleen and stomach. It wasn't until I used that Shichang's medicine that I realized that this was also one of the side effects of Shiro-kun's drug.

"Your Highness must have seen the carver in charge of carving and chiseling, and in the eyes of His Highness, those people sell their crafts to the Heavenly Family, so they don't dare not be unreasonable," You'an himself hooked the ends of his hair with his little finger and spoke softly, "Actually, real craftsmen, even between the markets, will treat every business consistently, whether it is agate or Tianhuang, the guests hand over the whole stone to them, as short as a few months, or as long as several years, in order to get back the finished work, relying on mutual trust." Without an honorary craftsman, he can't do business, he can't worship a teacher, and he can't even receive a suitable apprentice. ”

The way she speaks earnestly has a charm that makes people deeply indulge in it. Although Li Dan is familiar with the history of the market as a prince, he is far less familiar with their rules than a real craftsman like Zhen Niang.

You'an raised her hand to cover her mouth and slowly breathed a sigh of relief before continuing: "For me, I don't care if Ah Niang is a powerful female official or a prisoner who died by self-immolation, but I can't watch Ah Niang's reputation being slandered. In the past, it was only said that she destroyed the Mysterious Exquisite Tower, but now she wants to say that she is coveting a piece of the tower. Although I don't know what happened to Ah Niang back then, I don't believe that she would be a short-sighted person who covets ill-gotten gains. ”

The light in Li Dan's eyes also cooled inch by inch: "What was the truth of the matter back then, no one cares about it anymore." At present, this matter is attracting people's attention, in fact, it is just because everyone wants to know who will be the real ruler after the death of his father in the future. ”

You'an laughed silently, probably because he didn't hesitate in his heart, but was very calm when he spoke: "You see, this is the difference between you and me, I want to ask for a fair evaluation for A-Niang, and you only care about the stability of the empire and the imperial power." I'm not wrong, you're not wrong, if there is no mysterious and exquisite tower in the middle, these two demands are not contradictory at all. However, no matter how hard you try to turn a blind eye, there is a long distance between me and you that can never be crossed, and if you don't understand me, I don't understand you. ”

Li Dan was silent for a moment, reached out to wrap his hand around You'an's shoulder, and brought her to him, the posture was just enough for her to have to look up at herself: "Lone doesn't need you to understand, Lone only hopes that you will live safely, because Lone has seen too many people around him die, so the way Lone cares about you is to hope that you live well." ”

After this night's conversation, Hui An still came to accompany You'an every day, but no matter how she asked, she didn't dare to tell her anything outside. From Hui An's flickering eyes, You'an guessed that it must be Li Dan's strict order, and Hui An didn't dare to go against his will.

Li Dan's other servants are both loyal and shrewd, You'an considered all the candidates in his heart, and helplessly found that he could only find a way to do it to Hui'an. Whether Li Dan agrees or disagrees, she has to leave here and go back to the palace.

She asked Hui'an about the miscellaneous affairs in the house every day, Li Dan went out in time, when did he come back, and who came to visit the house. At first, Hui'an didn't dare to say anything, but she was afraid that she would cause something if she talked too much, but later saw that she just asked questions every day, so she was bored in her illness, and asked about things at will to pass the time, and slowly asked what to say.

In these scattered words, You'an gradually figured out Li Dan's routine and rest. There is only one meeting in three days, but Li Dan enters the palace very early every day, presumably the situation in the palace is not very optimistic, when he returns to the mansion every day, the first thing is still to check on You'an's situation immediately, but sometimes he can't help but show a serious look.

The days fly by, and it's a new year in the blink of an eye. On the first day, there was a banquet in the palace, and Li Dan entered the palace early, but he couldn't return until night. He had already told Hongni to prepare dinner for You'an earlier, and not to let her stay up too late.

You'an turned off the lights early, but she couldn't sleep. She got up in her own cloak and walked along the path in the mansion towards the dining room.

After all, Yuan Day is a very important festival of the year, and Li Dan's mansion also hung a lamp, but it was not hung in the small courtyard of You'an to recuperate, probably because she was afraid that the lights would disturb her, but she could not rest. Outside the small courtyard, the lights outline the pavilions and pavilions with a blurred layer of light and shadow.

Li Dan is not strict with his subordinates, as long as he does his errands well, he is very lenient in other rules. On the first day, as usual, the subordinates in the mansion can be a little looser, and the fire in the dining room is also specially opened, and the subordinates can gather here to drink a glass of warm rice wine.

In this atmosphere, it is easiest to hear them talk about the situation outside. You'an stopped at the distance of a wall, listening to the various servants in the palace eating and drinking, and talking about the things they cared about. They are servants, and their primary concern is nothing more than the future of their masters. She couldn't tell who the voices were, so she could only silently jot down what they had said, and then remove the drunken braggart from it.

After a few glasses of rice wine that was not too intoxicating, I knew that Li Dan would not be able to return to H2 until very late
