Although the kitchen was cleaned up and tidy by Linglong, after all, there was the smell of firewood and the smoke around, Yun Yan didn't expect Xiaoyue to come to the kitchen at all.

"Childe, why are you here?" Yun Yan asked curiously.

"In the afternoon, the snow was so heavy that it was getting dark, and I was bored alone, so I came to talk to Linglong. Xiao Yue looked around again and continued: "Actually, it's very good here, it's warm and delicious. Satsuki pointed to the soup in the pot, "You can have a bowl too, it's really delicious." ”

Yun Yan smiled and said, "Childe, are you so greedy? I have all run to the kitchen to find food," she looked at Linglong and said, "In the future, I will not be at home, so I will make some snacks for Childe in the afternoon, otherwise he will come to the kitchen to find you." ”

Linglong rubbed her hand on her apron, "Sister Yun, otherwise I'll give you a bowl of soup, you're frozen outside, and your face is blue." She found a clean white porcelain bowl and served Yun Yan a bowl of soup.

Yun Yan looked at Xiao Yue staring at the firewood on the side and didn't speak, so she took the bowl and drank it slowly.

Xiao Yue looked at the burning flames in the earthen stove, her face felt faintly hot, and she didn't know why, but the man in black just now got into her brain again.

Yun Yan saw that Xiaoyue didn't say a word, and wanted to have something on her mind, she pulled Linglong aside and asked if there was anything special happening in the afternoon, Linglong didn't know anything, just shook her head.

Yun Yan was a little worried, she walked up to Xiao Yue and asked softly, "Childe, there is a lot of smoke and dust here, why don't we go back to the study and sit down!"

Xiao Yue was still thinking about the man in black, and as soon as she heard that she wanted to go back to the study, she immediately denied: "If I don't go back, I won't go to the study." ”

Yun Yan felt that she was a little abnormal today, she waved her hand at Linglong, and asked her to go back to the house for a while, she wanted to talk to Xiaoyue alone.

"Childe?" Yun Yan found that Xiao Yue's eyes were looking directly at the flames in the earthen stove, the firelight made her face red, she grabbed Xiao Yue's arm and shook it, "Childe, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

Xiao Yue was silent for a long time, then took a deep breath, turned her head to look at Yun Yan and said, "Yun Yan, someone knows my secret!"

"What, what secret, who?" Yun Yan was a little confused by what she said.

Xiao Yue took Yun Yan's hand and told her what happened this afternoon from beginning to end, and after finishing speaking, she found that her hands were still shaking.

"This is too scary, isn't it!" Yun Yan clutched her chest, feeling empathy, "I'll go talk to Xu Chengchang at night and make the wall over there a little higher." ”

"I didn't think it was working, and he said he would come back to me. Satsuki felt like she was being targeted, and she was very uncomfortable.

"What then?" Yun Yan also began to worry.

"It's okay, I don't think this person looks like a wicked person, and he probably will blackmail some money. Xiao Yue carefully recalled her conversation with him, and then analyzed: "However, this house is indeed a little unsafe, go back and let Xu Chengchang check the wall, the corner or something." ”

"Eun, got it. Yun Yan gently stroked Xiaoyue's back with her hand, "Don't stay in this kitchen for a long time, otherwise I will clean up the West Wing, and Childe will go to the West Wing to rest, it will be warm there anyway." ”

"It's fine. Xiao Yue saw that Yun Yan was back, and there was another person to speak, and she felt a lot more relieved.

Yun Yan took Linglong to clean the west wing, and then let Xiaoyue go in to rest.

After Xiao Yue settled down, Linglong brought hot water to make tea for Xiao Yue, Yun Yan put the dim sum she brought back on a plate, and then handed the book to her, "Childe, this is the book you want to read." ”

Xiao Yue took it and looked at it, the name of the book was "The Hidden Dragon and the Phoenix", the name immediately attracted her, stuffed a few pastries into her mouth, and opened the book to read carefully.

This book tells a very legendary love story, of course, Satsuki can guess that the heroes and heroines in the story are the deceased British Emperor and the living Empress Mu.

I don't know if it's the twists and turns of the storyline, or the author's clever pen, Xiao Yue, who read this book, was so fascinated that she didn't even eat dinner, so she drank a few mouthfuls of soup, filled her stomach with pastries, and didn't sleep all night, and finished reading the book in one go.

What makes Xiaoyue feel new is that she has never heard the content of this story, although it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, but it can be well connected with the story she heard in the teahouse before, which really makes people believe it.

The story of the book happened about thirty years ago, when Empress Mu was just a princess, of course, this author in order to avoid secrecy, did not use her real name in the book, Empress Mu's original name was Mu Jiangshui, and the author named her Jiangshui, which is really easy to be found to be a hidden empress, and the first emperor Yuan Zaizheng, the author named Zaizheng, Xiaoyue felt that this author was really lazy.

The book mainly tells the story of Jiang Shui and Zai Zheng's acquaintance and love, which makes Xiaoyue, who has never seen romance, look at it with tears in her eyes, after all, there is no resistance in this regard. The story originates in a distant country called Nanguo, where there is a clever and cheerful princess who gets a travelogue from a tourist.

Satsuki thinks it should be a travel guide or something, and then this tourist should be a person who likes to play around, like a backpacker.

The princess is well-read, and of course she will also read this travelogue, and after reading it, she found that the world is so big, and she has a desire to go out for a walk. However, she is a princess, and she can't move around, so the princess thinks about how to go out and see at home every day, because she was already engaged at the time, and she knows that if she doesn't go out to see it again, it is estimated that it will be even worse after getting married.

The princess was so clever that she bought the royal doctor, falsely claiming that she had a skin disease and needed to be isolated and recuperate, and then went to a royal manor to recuperate. At the manor, the princess was looked after by a very loyal official named Zhan Tai. Seeing this person, Xiao Yue thought of Wen Youyou's father, Prime Minister Wen.

The princess had a good relationship with Zhan Tai, and later Zhan Tai helped the princess sneak out of the manor, leaving a maid to pretend to be a princess in the manor to recuperate. The princess began to travel around the world, and when she went out to play, the princess disguised herself as a man, and Zhan Tai accompanied and protected her, and the two have always been brothers.

One day, at the junction of the southern, northern, and eastern kingdoms, they met a young man who was eight feet long, and who was still in the wind. He lived in the same inn as the princess, who went out early and returned late every day, and did not meet the princess much, and the well water on both sides did not interfere with the river water. But one day, the inn went on fire, and the two met when they changed to another inn in order to take refuge. And this young man is Jae Zheng, of course, their first encounter is not romantic, but the smell of gunpowder is very strong.
