Chapter 70: Two Similar People (5000 Words)

"The princess believes in the minister, and it is enough."

Xiao Yan didn't care about what Chu Yi said that Chu Tingxiao doubted himself, he only selectively heard the words "This palace believes in you".

The rest of the words were calmly ignored by him.

He didn't know how to describe his mood when he heard these five words, it was like eating a piece of freshly baked peach blossom cake in winter, and his heart became soft and sweet. She seemed to be a fairy sent by God to comfort her, descending from the sky, warm and scorching, and he needed to confirm again and again that all this was real.

Xiao Yan was immersed in pleasure, and he didn't even restrain himself, he raised his hand and touched the little princess's head.

"The trust of this palace is useless......" Chu Yi thought, Xiao Yan should not have understood her words, so she repeated it again.

She didn't resist being touched by Xiao Yan, because this action should mean that he was in a good mood.

In his previous life, when he made a big table of sweet snacks for Xiao Yan, he would try his best to suppress the corners of his lips, pat his head like this, and ask indifferently: What do you want to do?

In fact, she saw that he was stealing fun, and she didn't break it, and then, she could leave the house happily.

"The minister knows," Xiao Yan's eyes were deep but silent, as if he was talking about someone else's business, "It's just that no matter how much Xu Xiang provokes and frames, he can't produce evidence after all, at most, it just makes His Majesty suspicious, presumably after His Majesty has doubts, he must have understood the minister's past." ”

"Father did investigate some things, he is not biased against you, it's just-" Chu Yi nodded, her father didn't dare to trust him easily because he had investigated what Xiao Yan had experienced in the past.

Xiao Yan said: "It doesn't matter, those in Yongguo are not secrets. ”

"Even if the minister is scheming, even if he has ulterior motives, he is only ...... I don't want to go through everything in the past anymore, I just want to live, that's it. ”

He chuckled, a slight self-deprecation in his tone.

When he talked about the past, there were countless bad memories in his mind, as if he had returned to the black room in an instant, but thinking that Chu Yi had always believed in himself so much, his heart was like a small sun rising, all the anxiety and darkness were driven away, and those grievances also had a place to live.

The fog dissipated, and he found the way forward again, and Chu Yi was like an anchor in his confusion.

For some reason, Chu Yi heard Xiao Yan's words and wanted to cry.

He said that even if he was scheming, he just wanted to live, but Chu Yi knew that Xiao Yan was a very proud person in his bones, he would repay his eyes, and he had clear grievances, he could say this because of his past, and living was a luxury.

"Does it hurt?" Chu Yi asked suddenly, suppressing the choking in his throat.

Xiao Yan touched the corner of his lips and shook his head: "It doesn't matter if there is such a small injury." ”

"Even if it's okay for you, it will hurt." Chu Yi said.

Even if it's a small injury, it hurts.

Xiao Yan's jaw angle tightened suddenly.

Chu Yi thought to himself, they all said that children who can cry have candy to eat, and Xiao Yan is probably the child who can't cry.

"This matter, this palace will definitely find out, since this palace can kill Xu Xiang, can't it break the words he left?" She gritted her teeth, her black and white eyes were clear and cold, and she said seriously, "And the injury you suffered today, this palace will also help you get it back." ”

Chu Yi didn't hide the killing intent in his eyes, anyway, Xiao Yan had already seen her appearance, and he also knew how Xu Xiang died.

She thought, just because she had eaten so many supplements from him in her previous life, and she had been able to survive in his hands for a long time, so now she came to repay him.

If it weren't for Xiao Yan, if it were in the hands of anyone in Yongguo, Chu Yi might not have survived for two years.

If he left Xiao Yan alone, he would feel very uncomfortable.

Xiao Yan's amber eyes shone brightly, and he felt that even if Chu Yi was lying to himself, it didn't matter.

Where did he seem to have seen her? Is she really a fairy in the sky who has appeared in her dreams?

He looked at Chu Yi deeply and was silent for a while, searching for memories of her in his mind.

For a long time, Xiao Yan still had no clue, he didn't want to think about it, as long as he knew that the person in front of him was real, it was enough.

"Thank you, princess."

This time, after Xiao Yan finished speaking, he widened the distance between the two and turned around and walked into the rain.

When passing by Pillow Snow, Pillow Xue took an umbrella in Yin Bing's hand and handed it to him, and she asked Yu Bing strangely: "Why don't you even give Xiao Gongzi an umbrella." ”

Drink ice: "I don't want to give." ”

She snorted, and slowly told Pillow Xue about Xiao Yan letting herself hold two umbrellas and walking all the way like a fool.

Chu Yi watched Xiao Yan's dark back disappear into the rain inch by inch, and his apricot eyes became deeper.

"So, Gongzi Yan met someone in the palace who wanted to kill him, but, how could it be, in broad daylight, this is the palace......" Zhuxue listened to the words of the ice and said in surprise.

"This palace believes that Xiao Yan will not deceive people, and there is no need for him to make up a lie, excuse himself for not going to Weiyang Palace to get an umbrella?" Chu Yi said.

"You first ask Xiao Nian to take people to Zhong Cui Palace and Wenyuan Pavilion to arrest Qibao, Chen Fu and Wang Zheng, they don't know that they have been recognized by Xiao Yan, so they should be defenseless."

Her eyes were extremely cold: "Let them spit out the other two people to this palace." ”

Pillow Xue gave full play to the omniscient and all-powerful characteristics of her palace, and said: "Qibao Chen Fu is fine, but this Wang Zheng is the apprentice of the chief eunuch Wang Zhi. ”

Wang Zhi?

This person Chu Yi still remembers, isn't that the martial arts teacher that his father originally wanted to invite for himself, I heard that he is also the chief eunuch in the palace, and he is also one of the leaders of the dark hall.

Chu Yi sneered, and his red lips opened lightly: "Then find Father-in-law Zhang, and arrest Wang Zhi together." ”

Pillow Xue looked solemn: "The slave understands." "It seems that this time the princess intends to investigate the matter thoroughly.

After a while, Chu Yi returned to Weiyang Palace, bathed with the last bit of strength, changed his clothes, and fell asleep.

When he woke up again, it was already evening, and Chu Yi thought that he would definitely get some kind of wind chill after being drenched in the rain, but he didn't expect to be refreshed.

Pillow Xue came, and his face was a little helpless.

"What, what's wrong with those guys?"

Pillow Xue nodded and said, "Father-in-law Zhang personally went to get the person, but Wang Zhi said that he didn't know about it at all, and the three little eunuchs admitted it and confessed to the other two."

They said that they had received an order from Wang Zhi to kill a traitor from the Secret Hall, this person was strong in martial arts, and he would appear near the Mingyue Pavilion, disguised as a guard to escape from the palace, and it was best for them to kill with one blow. ”

"And then?" Chu Yi frowned.

"Then Wang Zhi remembered that there was indeed a traitor in the dark hall, and for various reasons he speculated that this person would take advantage of the rain and pretend to be a guard to leave the palace, so he let the five little eunuchs do it, but who knew that at this hour, in the heavy rain, Gongzi Yan appeared."

Chu Yi poured out an orange candy from the sugar cup, chewed it one by one, his eyes were dark, and said, "Since they are all people in the palace, why do they have to be masked?" ”

"They said that because the traitor may be his colleague, and he is also strong in martial arts, he is afraid that he will be familiar with their skills and skills after seeing who they are, so he deliberately went to ambush with his face, in order to kill with one blow, by the way, one of them was also coated with poison on his knife, but Gongzi Yan should not have been injured."

"Hehe......" Chu Yi's mouth was sweet and sour of oranges, but the blood stains on the hem of Xiao Yan's clothes appeared in front of her, and her eyes became more and more cold, "What a coincidence, and then what about the real traitor, is he dead?" ”

Drinking ice: "After Wang Zhi learned that the five of them were unsuccessful, he personally went to kill the traitor, just when His Highness and Gongzi Yan were walking in the rain. ”

After a pause, she added: "The slave maid also remembered one thing, when the slave maid came to pick up the princess, she did meet Wang Zhi nearby, and he said that he was dealing with rebellion. ”

It's been a long time, it's just an oolong, was Xiao Yan injured by mistake?

"The reaction is really fast, masked ambush, and one blow to kill, but he didn't even know who he did, and after he missed, even if he wasn't sure if Xiao Yan recognized them, he immediately killed the ghost.

If it weren't for Xiao Yan's good martial arts, if he hadn't recognized them, would he really have died unjustly in this heavy rain! Does Wang Zhi think that Bengong has no brains, or does he think that Bengong can't help him without evidence!? ”

Chu Yi's voice was cold and piercing, and his eyes were boiling with anger.

It's actually poisoned, this traitor, it's really time!

Her beautiful face was covered with frost, and if Jiang was here, she might find that the princess looked exactly the same as his son-in-law when she was angry.

"The princess is angry."

The palace people serving in Weiyang Palace had never heard of the princess being so angry, and they were all so frightened that they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Pillow Xue hesitated: "Your Highness, maybe it's really Gongzi Yan who happened to be seen as a traitor in the dark hall when he passed by, and it was not true on a rainy day, and those five little eunuchs were more reckless." ”

Chu Yi waved his hand to make them stand up, in front of her was Xiao Yan's dripping hair and blood-dripping clothes, he was injured, but he still rushed to give him an umbrella, and even felt guilty that he was drenched in the rain.

He had just experienced such a terrible thing, but in front of him he acted as if nothing had happened.

Chu Yi said word by word: "The last thing this palace believes in is coincidence, this matter, Wang Zhi's reason can't convince this palace, this palace wants him to give Xiao Yan a satisfactory explanation, otherwise, let him come to Weiyang Palace to explain to this palace." ”

Today's Chu Yi is no longer the powerless and powerless six princesses who were favored before, the Son of Heaven is angry, and the corpses are million, what if the princess is angry?

"You can prepare some medicine for external injuries and send them to Xiao Yan."

She closed her eyes and said in a hoarse voice.

That person has suffered too many grievances, at least in this life, as far as she can see, she wants to protect him.

The news was cascading, and soon, Wang Zhi made a choice.

He asked for a three-year fine, personally abolished the martial arts of the five little eunuchs, and removed them from the dark hall.

Immediately, he cut off one of the arms of the two people who had injured Xiao Yan, and even chopped off one of the fingers he had written the order, put it in a box, and sent someone to send it to Mingyue Pavilion respectfully.

Xiao Yan knew that the little princess would definitely do it if she promised to give her an explanation, but he didn't expect Chu Yi to move so quickly.

When the box was delivered, he was in a daze under the osmanthus tree, and above the osmanthus tree, a lonely moon hung high, exuding a bright moonlight.

He held the peach candy that Chu Yi gave him in his arms, thinking about the girl in his arms in the rain, he couldn't help but eat a piece of candy, bend his phoenix eyes, and he could always be sweet.

After the little eunuch who delivered the box explained, he put down the box of silver he was carrying behind and fled in a hurry.

The shadow stepped forward, opened the box and checked it, and said with a smile: "There must be five hundred taels, the silver is good, the silver is low-key, and the gold that Emperor Yan rewarded us with can't be used." ”

"They are dead, but their actions are too immature, not as good as those little fools in Yongguo, but next time, they may be smarter."

Xiao Yan tasted the peach candy, his phoenix eyes narrowed pleasantly, and he said lightly.

Jiang Zhiying knew that the "little fools" in Gongzi's mouth were Xiao Jixing's princes, and they and their staff members had always been worried that Gongzi still had the possibility of competing for the throne, and they looked forward to Gongzi's death every day, and would send someone to assassinate him from time to time.

"So, this Wang Zhi's explanation, the princess doesn't believe it, and I don't believe it either, you go and check secretly to see if Wang Zhi has been in contact with any suspicious people recently, I want to know that someone in Yan Guo wants to kill me."

The moonlight shone on Xiao Yan's handsome face, reflecting his face pale.

Shadow was surprised and said, "Childe actually wants to investigate this, you wouldn't have been like this before." ”

In the past, when Childe was assassinated, he would kill him on the spot if he could, and he didn't care if the assassin escaped, and he never took the initiative to investigate afterwards.

Childe said that this was because there were so many people who wanted to kill him that he couldn't investigate.

Jiang Zhiying didn't know very well, but he always felt that Gongzi didn't check those who came to kill him, except that there were too many people, there were other reasons.

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, holding a pale pink hard candy in his hand, and asked, "What was I like before?" ”

The shadow thought for a while, and replied embarrassedly: "It's not a secret, the subordinates feel that Childe didn't care about anything before, and when the subordinates dreamed, they were worried that Childe would not make any resistance under the assassin's knife, maybe Childe still felt that he was free." ”

Xiao Yan: "That's not true, it's that those assassins are too weak." ”

A hint of pain came, and he lowered his eyes, put the sugar cube in his mouth, and his right arm tensed.

In the past, he just wanted to live, and it was not in vain that little girl desperately saved her life, as for the matter of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, he had investigated the most disgusting truth in the world, and later, he would not ask the bottom of many things.

True, often ugly.

And now, he wants to try to survive, so he should still deal with some signs of danger.

Xiao Yan glanced at the box sent by the little eunuch and frowned: "Take it away, it's disgusting." ”

"Then the subordinates take it and return it to them?" Shadow asked.

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he sneered: "Chop it up and throw it into the night fragrance bucket." ”

Return? Have them pick it up and pick it up? Would he be so kind. He dared to conclude that the little eunuch who had sent the box just now, as well as the few people whose arms had been cut off, were now squatting outside the Mingyue Pavilion, waiting for him to throw it away.

The shadow said "ah", and his face was embarrassed: "Subordinates chop?" ”

"Otherwise, could it be that I chopped?" Xiao Yan thought about it, it was a little bloody, "Forget it, others still think you are so cruel when you spread it, just throw it in the bucket, if they really want to pick it up, go to the bucket to pick it up." ”

Shadow: Even if it is spread out and brutal, you are the one who is brutal.

He picked up the box to leave, and suddenly thought of what the little eunuch said just now, and said, "Childe, that person just now said that Chen Fu's flying knife was coated with poison...... Are you alright? ”

It's no wonder that he only remembered such an important matter now, but because Childe didn't show any signs of poisoning, he subconsciously forgot about it.

Xiao Yan asked rhetorically: "Do you think I look like something is wrong?" ”

The shadow nodded: "Yes, those five little minions can't hurt you." ”

When he left, Xiao Yan walked back to the house and rolled up his sleeves.

On the cold white and smooth forearm of the right hand, bright red blood soaked out from under the freshly bandaged gauze.

It was an inch-long wound, a sword wound.

At night, Xiao Yan lay on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Since he came to Yan Kingdom, he has often dreamed, but every time he wakes up, he forgets what he dreamed of.

This time, his dreams were exceptionally clear.

"Peach blossom crisp, almond crisp, jujube mud cake, osmanthus cake, rose cake...... Alas, I've been doing it for so long, my hands are really sore, and I don't know if it suits your taste, but it's all sweet. ”

A familiar female voice sounded with a bit of complaint.

Xiao Yan saw two blurred figures standing in front of him, a man and a woman, the silhouette of the woman was somewhat familiar.

Immediately, it was his own voice: "Say, what do you want to do?" ”

"Out of the house, just once, you just let me go out for a walk, and if I stay in Yiyuan, your princess will suffocate to death, cough cough, cough cough...... If you really don't feel at ease, let the Jiang guards bring someone to follow. ”

The voice was smiling, but it had a long cough.

The tall man bent down, picked up a piece of snack next to him, put it in his mouth casually, and said impatiently, "Get out." ”

"Okay."

The woman left.

The man straightened up, watched her leave, and whispered, "Protect the princess." ”

Xiao Yan was a little speechless, what did this man think, people made so many snacks for him, and he was still so impatient, since he was impatient, he still had to send someone to protect them?

Fools.

After the woman left, the man ate another piece of peach blossom cake, as if he was reluctant, looking at this table of dim sum in a daze.

After a while, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and left in a hurry, Xiao Yan was about to follow, and he came back like another gust of wind, with a crystal clear white jade box in his hand.

"Lord Wang, this rose crisp is baked, you don't want to put it in a box..... bar. "This voice, why does it sound so much like Jiang Zhiying.

"This king sees that you also want to be baked."

“......”

The man put the dim sum in the white jade box and took it away, and said before leaving: "If the princess asks, she will say that the king has already eaten it." ”

Xiao Yan opened his eyes, the sky outside the window was pouring out, and it was already the next morning.

The scene in his dream became blurry again, and Jiang Zhiying shouted outside: "Childe, my subordinates will go to duty first." ”

Xiao Yan responded: "This king knows ......"

His pupils narrowed.

*

"If you want to eliminate your father's suspicion of Xiao Yan, you have to completely find out who is behind the Wolf Park, but although this palace can guess this matter, it can't produce evidence......"

Chu Yi muttered in a low voice, thinking about how to solve it, Fu Qianqian came to Weiyang Palace.

"Yi'er, I'll bring you the braised elbows made in my small kitchen, this is delicious."

After not seeing her for many days, Fu Qianqian has lost a lot of weight, and her beautiful face that used to be round and jade can now see her slightly pointed chin.

Chu Yi's eyes lit up when he saw her.

How did she forget the eldest princess?

In the matter of the Wolf Garden, he was just accidentally involved and injured, but Fu Qianqian was really calculated by Yi Concubine!

Their Fan family wants to marry their daughter to the crown prince, and the biggest obstacle is Fu Qianqian - after all, no one is more suitable to be the crown princess than her.

The Emperor also said that Cen Zijing seemed to have aged more than ten years all of a sudden because of his son's affairs, and he had lost all his spirit.

Cen Zijing is a general valued by his father, and the Fan family defeated him, but he also offended his father.

It doesn't matter if there is no evidence, there is no evidence for Xu Xiang to frame Xiao Yan, Chu Tingxiao is still suspicious, and the Fan family, no matter how clean his own ass is in the Wolf Garden, as long as she finds out other dirty things about them, she can make them immortal and shed a layer of skin.

"Come, Qianqian, eat elbows together." Thinking about what to do, Chu Yi greeted warmly.

The lid of the food box opened, and Fu Qianqian and Chu Yi almost drooled together.

This elbow was too fragrant, and after the two of them finished eating, Fu Qianqian said: "Yi'er, in fact, I came today to ..... I wanted to ask you for a favor. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Chu Yi wiped the oil from the corners of his lips and savored it with relish.

It just so happened that she also had something to ask Fu Qianqian to help with.

Fu Qianqian said: "I heard yesterday that Your Majesty agreed with your Yulin Army to restore the 8,000-man system, and also said that you can go directly to the Gyeonggi camp to pick people. ”

"Yes, I am planning to hand over this matter to my subordinates, but I will not really pick 3,000 people, wouldn't it be to suck up the Gyeonggi battalion, and my father has already promised me to just pick some elite troops to form the backbone of the Yulin Army, and then slowly recruit troops and horses, and hand them over to Captain Rong for training."

"Then can you recruit Cen Xiao back to the Yulin Army?" Fu Qianqian asked in a low voice.

"He is not doing well in the Gyeonggi camp of his father, General Cen, now."
