With the experience of the last time, Tang Xian knew that Zhuang Lian was not so kind on the surface, and he was afraid of revealing more clues about himself, so he didn't dare to talk to others.

She didn't know where she was, and she didn't know anything about this thief who imprisoned her in the mansion except that the other party had a lot of money and power.

Trapped in the imperial mausoleum for too long, the world has changed, Tang Xian's heart is empty, and she can't figure out the slightest clue, let alone ask people.

After thinking hard for a few days, one afternoon in early April, she rarely took the initiative to ask to see Zhuang Lian.

The guard came back with a message and led Tang Xian to a small attic.

Tang Xian likes this attic very much, with a wide view and a view of the peach garden next door. It happened that the tall magnolia tree outside the window was blooming just right, and the wind shuttled from it, sending a burst of elegant floral fragrance.

But her mood was not happy at all.

Seeing the person sitting by the window blowing the wind and drinking tea, Tang Xian paused, turned her head and said, "What I want to see is the housekeeper uncle." ”

The guards who had sent her here turned a deaf ear and blocked the doorway like a rock.

Tang Xian couldn't, so she had to turn around and face the clouds.

The small loft is spacious and brightly lit, and is divided into inner and outer sides by a floor-to-ceiling flower canopy.

There are some classics and antiques on the outside, solemn and solemn.

Inside is a large table, next to the painting jar, ancient wood bookshelves, various accessories, etc., wide windows open, bright daylight, convenient for handling official business.

On the other side, separated by a gauze cover, is a tea room, which is equipped with a mahogany low table, a carved couch, and a hearth for making tea. The roller blinds are half-hanging, lying low under the window, and when you raise your eyes, you can see the beautiful scenery outside the window.

At this moment, the veil was lifted, and Yun stopped sitting lazily on the low couch, one leg stretched diagonally, one leg half-bent, and the elbow propped up on the knee.

Hearing the voice, he looked away from the page, raised his eyes leisurely, and said, "Afraid of me? ”

is full of calculations, and Tang Xian has only seen the clouds stop twice.

These two times were enough, and she didn't want to spend time with Yun Zhi at all.

The first is that this person always reminds her of the prince who hates the Tang family, and the second is that this person must be competitive, in case he doesn't agree with him later, he will definitely make a mistake again.

Although the conversation with the housekeeper uncle will eventually reach his ears, at least others will not be angry with him.

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

Tang Xian said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that Gongzi will have a lot of expensive things, so I don't dare to disturb it." ”

Yun stopped and said: "It's already disturbed, but it's okay, this account is also on your father and brother's head." ”

Tang Xian inhaled secretly, pretending not to hear his threat.

"Tell me, what?"

Tang Xian said softly: "I want to ask, what did Yanxia steal from Gongzi." ”

Yun Zhu raised his eyebrows, "You want to pay me back for her?" ”

Tang Xian did mean this.

Zhuang Lian makes sense, if he continues to consume like this, sooner or later he will be known by the other party. At that time, whether it is her or Yanxia, it will fall into the hands of this person.

Haze will die.

And Yun Zhu colluded with Bai Taishi and rebelled. Whether Tang Xian's current identity or the precedent of the Tang family's rebellion, no matter what kind of it is known to him, there will be no result.

She must get out of here before her identity is revealed.

The man refused to let her go, in order to find Smoke, in order to retrieve what had been stolen by Smoke.

As long as you pay him something, won't the matter be solved?

This is the method that Tang Xian has come up with after thinking about it for a few days.

She nodded cautiously and said, "You tell me what she stole first, and I will try my best to compensate you." ”

"You can't afford it." Yun Zhu's gaze fell back on the page, his tone was light, and he didn't bother to give her any mood swings.

Tang Xian saw his contempt, raised her voice and said, "What do you say first." ”

Yun Zhu finally looked at her again, his brows slightly furrowed, and he looked impatient to be disturbed. Then, he buckled the table and said, "Pour tea." ”

This is to use Tang Xian as a maid.

Tang Xian was at a disadvantage and didn't care about him.

The tea is all brewed, Tang Xian approached, Su Bai fingers lifted the teapot and tilted it slightly, Qing Lingling's hot water poured into the white jade cup, the water flow stirred the emerald green tea leaves, and the light tea fragrance rose.

Tang Xian recognized this kind of tea, which was very precious, but she didn't like it very much.

Before the fall of the family, only after eating the pastries, she would drink a small cup to relieve her greasyness.

The tea was poured for seven minutes and stopped, and when he handed the teacup to Yun Zhu, Tang Xian secretly glanced at him, and then poured the second tea casually.

Yun stopped and lowered his eyelids, but did not stop it.

This is the default that the two are talking about business, and they are on an equal footing?

Tang Xian's courage in her heart added a little more, and after pouring the tea, she tentatively sat down opposite him slowly.

Yun Zhu still didn't respond.

Tang Xian settled down and took the initiative to speak: "Childe likes Jiaoshan Baiya? This tea is mellow in the mouth, with a slightly bitter aftertaste, and it is good to drink it once in a while to wake up. ”

Yun stopped glancing at her and said, "Don't pretend?" ”

This tea is precious, she knows and drinks it, which is to admit that she is from a noble background.

Tang Xian's face was slightly hot, coughed, and said, "In the early years, my family was indeed slightly prestigious. ”

She confessed her family history, her tone was a little heavier, and she re-entered the main point: "What Yanxia stole from you, even if you offer the price, I will pay it back for her." Don't worry, I have money. ”

It's not that Tang Xian exaggerated, it's true, no matter what Yanxia stole from, she can afford it.

Emperor Rongxiao's filial piety mausoleum, there are not too many funerary jewels recorded in the register, but there is another mystery in the main tomb chamber separated by the seven-story tomb door and layers of organs.

Tang Xian is his queen, although she was deposed, the prince wanted to torture her, in addition to going to the main tomb every month to sleep, she also had to worship the ancestors of the imperial family from time to time.

In the past five years in the Imperial Tomb, her eyes have been burned, but she knows more secrets.

Yun Zhu didn't know where she got the confidence, his eyes turned around her face a few times, and he asked unhurriedly, "How many do you have?" ”

Tang Xian asked rhetorically: "How much do you want?" ”

The dialogue seemed to return to square one, and neither of the two refused to take the lead in getting to the bottom of it.

Yun stopped and said: "It's you who want to make a deal with me, so you should show some sincerity." ”

After another stalemate for a moment, Tang Xian took the lead in giving in.

According to her current status, it makes sense that the other party doesn't believe that she can get the money.

She leaned slightly sideways, took out two red agate from her sleeve, spread them in the palm of her hand, and said, "This can be counted as my sincerity." ”

The two red agate hidden by Tang Xian were taken out of the main burial chamber during the last time she went to bed, in order to prevent him from having no money and not acting well after entering Beijing.

She had never seen this kind of agate, and she was not sure of its exact value, but a few hundred taels of silver was absolutely fine.

The round agate lay quietly in the palm of Tang Xian's hand, and the blood-red color was even more dazzling against the cold white skin. The sunlight shone obliquely, and it seemed that the color of blood was circulating in it.

Yun stopped looking at the things in Tang Xian's hand, remembering that Zhuang Lian had mentioned this, but he didn't care.

It is normal for the down-and-out family girl to have a few jade stones hidden on her body.

Moreover, he disdained to covet women's possessions.

I didn't verify it with my own eyes at the beginning, but I didn't expect Tang Xian to take the initiative to deliver things to him today.

He stared at the agate for a moment, and then laughed suddenly.

Tang Xian didn't know what he was laughing at, she was a little flustered, secretly encouraged herself a few words, and plucked up the courage to say: "I have a lot of jewelry and gold and silver of this value. As long as you let me and Haze go, I'll give it all to you. ”

"There's something you don't seem to have figured out." Yun stopped the book in his hand, picked up the tea cup and swung it, and the heat floated up, forming a thin mist in front of him.

I don't know if it's Tang Xian's illusion, his demeanor seems to be much more relaxed.

"Yanxia is a traitor's slave, and you are a captive."

Neither of them was in a position to negotiate terms with him.

Tang Xian pursed her lips, this is true, but it is really ugly.

If it is replaced by Zhuang Lian, even if the negotiation fails, it will not be so ruthless.

Yun Zhu caught the resentment in her eyes, took a sip of tea, and said meaningfully: "Since your family is already down, why did you get so much wealth?" ”

Tang Xian turned her face to look at the lake outside the window and ignored him.

"Most likely your father formed a party before he fell ......"

"You talk nonsense! My dad isn't! Tang Xian was furious and defended her father.

Her grandfather despised the absurdity of the royal family and had the heart to seize power and usurp the throne, but her father did not. Tang Xian couldn't tolerate someone slandering her biological father.

Yun stopped his eyes and moved slightly, and said: "It doesn't matter if it's right or not, I went back and found out your details, aren't these jewels and origins easy to capture?" ”

Tang Xian heard that he had the intention of robbing, and remembered in horror that he heard Master Bai mention the Lord Qian who was killed by him a few days ago.

She was shocked and remorseful, and hurriedly remedied: "If you dare to touch my family, I will bite my tongue and kill myself." Only I know where to hide those gold and silver jewels, and when I die, you will never think of it! ”

Yun stopped with an "oh" and repeated her words: "You are the only one who knows? ”

"Yes!" subconsciously gave a positive reply, and the next moment, Tang Xian changed her words, "Only me and Yanxia know." ”

Tang Xian said this because she was afraid that he would unfortunately fall into the hands of Yun Zhu.

Who doesn't love money?

With this lie to support him, at least he wouldn't have killed Yanxia directly.

After saying that, she fixed her eyes on Yun Zhu, waiting for him to believe it or not.

Yun stopped but didn't speak anymore, only looked at her unabashedly with a pair of dark eyes.

Tang Xian was a little flustered, she was not good at getting along with men, especially this kind of man with a bad heart.

Unsure if she had made the wrong move, she lowered her eyes nervously, not daring to say more.

In the silence, a wind blew and ruffled the strands of hair that hung down her shoulders. A few wisps were raised to the table and touched the tea cup, and Tang Xian hurriedly pressed it down.

When he raised his hand, the cuffs slipped down, revealing a section of his wrist that had the same small scratches as the back of his hand.
