Both of them are young, and they are happy to relieve their pillows, eat the marrow and know the taste, there is no beauty and love, and they are entangled until lunch time.

Zhao Yan was tired and hungry, begging for mercy again and again in a dumb voice, and Zhou Yu was willing to withdraw his troops.

After tidying up a little, Zhao Yan summoned Xiyu to send the food into the inner room.

Zhou Yu took a small table and put it on the bed, put the rice in the bowl, and looked at Zhao Yan with a smile: "I'll feed you?" ”

"No, you don't." Zhao Yan took the dishes and chopsticks and sat opposite him: "I still have this bit of strength." ”

Zhou Yu lowered his eyes and smiled, and gave her a lot of dishes: "Eat more." ”

Zhao Yan was indeed hungry, and she ate faster than usual.

Zhou Yu didn't eat a few bites, but looked at her from time to time and smiled.

provoked Zhao Yan to scorn him a few more times.

"I asked people to inquire about the concubine Li in front of the first emperor." Zhou Yu saw her put down the dishes and chopsticks, and then opened her mouth to get down to business.

"Got a clue?" Zhao Yan raised her apricot eyes to look at him.

"Almost all the people back then died." Zhou Yu shook his head: "There are only a few fish that have slipped through the net, and now they don't know their whereabouts."

I told them to look it up. ”

As he spoke, he took the handkerchief and wiped his lips for Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan leaned on the head of the bed and looked at him lazily: "You say, will you be the sixth prince?" ”

Emperor Qianyuan's heirs are prosperous, and now there are more than a dozen princes under his knees, plus more than 20 princesses.

However, from the six princes downwards, they are all minors, and several princes and princesses have died in recent years.

The sixth prince, Zhou Guo, was loved by Emperor Qianyuan since he was a child.

When he was four years old, Emperor Qianyuan went on patrol and specially took him on a trip, but somehow he got lost.

Since then, Emperor Qianyuan has been concerned about this son.

Although many years have passed, he still sends quite a few people out every year to find the Six Princes.

There are even many rumors that if the sixth prince is still there, the crown prince of Dayuan may not be the turn of the second prince Zhou Yue to sit down.

Zhao Yan looked at Zhou Yu in front of her, although her hair was scattered, she was also noble and pure, and her bearing was extraordinary, if she was a royal person, she would indeed look like it.

"It's not." Zhou Yu shook his head: "My father personally told me that only half a month after the disappearance of the sixth prince, his people found the body of the sixth prince.

It's just that it's been kept a secret. ”

"Why?" Zhao Yan was puzzled.

"At that time, Your Majesty was sick because of traveling, and he was anxious because of the disappearance of the six princes, if he told the truth, my father was afraid that His Majesty would be unbearable." Zhou Yu explained: "Damo saw that His Majesty was sick, and there was chaos in the DPRK and China, and he deliberately provoked a border war, and the situation at that time could not tolerate the slightest mistake or omission, so my father did not report the incident. ”

Zhao Yan nodded clearly: "Later, it was the crime of bullying the king, so I didn't say it?" ”

"Yes." Zhou Yu nodded.

"Have you ever inquired about your father's tone?" Zhao Yan pondered and asked.

"Nature." Zhou Yu lowered his eyes: "My father said that I was tired for several days, so I would think crankily, I was born to him and my mother, so I could take a rest." ”

"Then I can't think of any secrets about your background." Zhao Yan looked at her fingertips and said, "But in this way, this secret should be quite important."

Otherwise, with your father's status, there is no need to hide it. ”

"Not bad." Zhou Yu agreed: "I suspect that it still has something to do with the palace, maybe it has something to do with the first emperor."

However, this could not be verified. ”

"Don't be in a hurry." Zhao Yan comforted him slowly: "I've been here for so many years, and I won't mention this time, I'll go to the old lady to inquire about you when I go back." ”

"Hmm." Zhou Yu reached out and stroked her little face: "I'm sorry for you, I have to go back first." ”

"Go ahead." Zhao Yan picked up the soothing soup and drank it, and hugged the small quilt: "You take the table down, I'm going to sleep." ”

She was sore and aching all over, and she had to make up for it.

Zhou Yu sent the table to the ground, turned around and kissed her on the forehead: "You sleep well, I'll go." ”

Zhao Yan answered, and heard him open the back window.

She closed her eyes and was a little thirsty, but she was too lazy to call people, and planned to sleep like this.

Outside the curtain, someone came to close the table, and there was a noise.

"I drink water." Zhao Yan turned over and ordered.

"The girl isn't asleep?" Xiyu took the water, picked up the bed curtain and handed it to her.

"Something?" Zhao Yan stood up, took the water cup and drank two sips.

"It's Lord Meng, who sent a letter to ask the girl when she is free and can go to the teahouse or restaurant to meet him.

The messenger said that Master Meng had something important to look for the girl. Cherish the rain and report softly.

Zhao Yan handed her the water cup, went to the handkerchief and wiped her lips casually and lay down: "Tomorrow at noon, ask him to go to the Huixian Restaurant." ”

It is estimated that Mencius will investigate what she did in the Hening Hou Mansion.

Men's homes are sometimes troublesome.

She is so tired today that she has no energy to deal with the Mencius period.

"Yes." The rain has been met.

＊

The next day, Zhao Yan went to the Huixian Restaurant as promised.

Mencius was already waiting for her in the wing, with a few plates of snacks and tea on the table.

"Big girl." When Mencius saw her come in, he hurriedly got up and made a move.

"I've known it for so long, so I don't have to be polite." Zhao Yan raised her hand casually, and did not return the salute, so she sat down at the table, looked at the dim sum on the table and asked with a smile: "At noon today, will you invite me to eat this?" ”

"Big girl......" Mencius walked across from her, and didn't care about her words, so he said: "That day, in the matter of the Marquis of Hening, how could you deliberately ...... it"

Now, the incident is well known.

He suspected that there was also Zhao Yan's handiwork.

Luo Shimou is just that, it's not a thing in the first place, and he deserves to end up like this.

However, Zhao Ruxiu is Zhao Yan's sister, how can Zhao Yan calculate her sister so much?

Thinking that he and Zhao Yan were outside the window, listening to Luo Shimou treat Zhao Ruxiu like that, he felt that he was extremely guilty.

Everyone praised him for being fair and virtuous, but he did something like that and became Zhao Yan's accomplice.

But he couldn't bear to say that Zhao Yan had something to do with this matter.

These days at home, he has been sitting and sleeping, and finally mustered up the courage to ask Zhao Yan to come out and talk about it.

He desperately needed Zhao Yan to give him a reasonable explanation.

"Alright, let's not talk about that yet." Zhao Yanyu held her cheeks in her hand, and looked at him with apricot eyes: "I came to you when I woke up, and I didn't eat breakfast."

Let's eat something before we talk, shall we? ”

She has a beautiful appearance and a delicate tone, but when she speaks ordinarily, she seems to have a little coquettishness.

Mencius's face turned red uncontrollably: "I'll go and ask Xiao Er to serve the food." ”

When he went to the banquet, he deliberately looked at it a few times, Zhao Yan is not a picky eater, she eats little and fine, and she should love most of the things in the fairy restaurant.

He picked up the signature dish and asked for a table, and asked for a jar of fruit wine.

He knew that Zhao Yan liked to eat fruit wine, and when she ate fruit wine, her little face was flushed, thick and beautiful, far better than the peony flowers with a natural fragrance.

Zhao Yan smiled and ate with him, her expression was no different from ordinary.

Mencius had something on his mind, so he used some with her, and finally waited until Zhao Yan put down the chopsticks and said, "It's full." ”

"Can the big girl speak now?" Mencius asked her.

"What do you want to know?" Zhao Yan took a sip of tea, she ate the fruit wine just right, her little face was red, and she looked a little coquettish: "Just ask, I will definitely know everything today, and I will say everything." ”

Mencius asked her to look at it, and his face blushed uncomfortably, he lowered his eyes and looked at the dishes in front of him: "I want to know, why do you want to harm Zhao Ruxiu?"

If she gets involved in such a thing, your reputation will be very difficult to hear, after all, she is a sister in the family for a while. ”

"My reputation is already ugly." Zhao Yan spread her hands senselessly: "You know, I won't care." ”

"However, if you do this, the Huai'an Marquis Mansion will inevitably be hated by the Dingguo Mansion." Mencius was even more puzzled, and raised his eyes to look at her: "Have you forgotten that you are also a member of the Huai'an Hou Mansion?" ”

He has been an official in the court for a long time, and he has seen all kinds of intrigues and tricks.

Including the things in the back house, what big wives fight concubines, brothers fight for property, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fight for law, endlessly.

But he had never seen someone do this to his own family, wasn't this hurting himself?

He really couldn't understand what Zhao Yan was for.
