"Little prince. ”

As soon as Zhao Qingyan stepped down from the carriage, he saw Han Yan and Chen Huayi coming around, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Did something happen?"

Han Yan shook his head: "It's not a matter of urgency, it's just that there is something I want to tell the adult, I wonder if the adult has time now?"

Noticing his title, Zhao Qingyan also became serious: "Then go inside and say it?"

Han Yan and Chen Huayi glanced at each other: "My lord, please take it." ”

Ran Haoxuan said in a low voice: "Then I'll go cook the medicine." ”

Zhao Qingyan said: "Go ahead, I'll just go back by myself." ”

Ran Haoxuan nodded slightly to Han Yan, and then walked away quickly.

"What's so urgent?" Zhao Qingyan found a place in the room, raised his chin at the vacant seat next to him, and motioned for them to sit casually, "I haven't had any major problems during my absence, right?"

Han Yan thanked him, sat down, and replied: "There is basically no problem, although I haven't found anything particularly useful, there are finally no mistakes, and I am slowly progressing." ”

Zhao Qingyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, let's talk about the thing you want to say." ”

Han Yan nodded to Chen Huayi, motioned for him to come, and then kept silent.

Chen Huayi asked, "Does the little prince remember the young man that day?"

Zhao Qingyan nodded: "Remember, although I left the next day, I probably heard that he stayed in the house and didn't plan to escape." Is there something wrong with him?"

Chen Huayi hesitated for a moment and asked, "That child's surname is Dongfang, does the little prince have any impression of this surname?"

"Dongfang?" Zhao Qingyan thought for a moment and shook his head, "If you say that the surname is Dongfang, it is your master." ”

Chen Huayi's expression was unusually serious: "I'm talking about my master." ”

Zhao Qingyan's face showed a hint of astonishment: "What do you mean?"

Chen Huayi said: "The guy named Dongfang Bai said that twelve years ago, there was a guy who looked the same as Xia Peng who rescued him and gave him a name, surnamed Dongfang, called Bai. The man who rescued him gave him a jade carved crane, taught him a few tricks and left after teaching him a few light skills. ”

"Twelve years ago...... Zhao Qingyan had a headache, reached out to support his forehead, and muttered, "Twelve years ago again." ”

Chen Huayi took a deep breath, suppressed some ups and downs, and continued to speak: "That crane is the crane that my master carried personally, and he originally had a pair on him. One he gave to Xia Yanyu, and the other gave it to me before he died. Dongfang Bai's one is the one that should be on Xia Yanyu's body. ”

Zhao Qingyan nodded and slowly spoke: "Chen Huayi, what do you want to ......?"

A trace of violence flashed in Chen Huayi's eyes, he stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "Don't you understand? The guy who saved Dongfang Bai must be Xia Peng's brother, who was sent by Xia Yanyu to save him! Then he gave my master's relics to such a reckless boy!"

"Chen Huayi, calm down!" Han Yan hurriedly got up and grabbed him, and scolded in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

Chen Huayi's eyes flickered a few times, and he regained a little clarity: "Little prince, I'm sorry." ”

Zhao Qingyan woke up from his stupor, and smiled helplessly: "No need to apologize." I just wanted to ask you, do you need me to check that Dongfang Bai?"

Han Yan said: "Little prince, don't accommodate him. Chen Huayi, you have to wait at least for the little prince to understand the reason, no matter how anxious you are, who can understand you rushing up and talking nonsense without a beginning or an end?"

Chen Huayi sat back with a wry smile, the smile on his face was more ugly than crying: "I'm sorry, I just miss Master a little." ”

Zhao Qingyan silently looked at Han Yan for a moment, and when he saw that Chen Huayi's mood had stabilized, he spoke: "I do have a lot of things that I haven't figured out, can you help me explain them first?"

Chen Huayi nodded lightly: "It's me who is too excited, forgive me, little prince." ”

Looking at Chen Huayi, who was suddenly so depressed, where could Zhao Qingyan say anything accusatory? He could only bypass the current topic and ask directly: "The brother you said about Xia Peng is Xia Ming, Xia Yanyu's first apprentice, right?

Chen Huayi held his head and said in a low voice: "Yes, it's dead." Xia Ming is dead, Xia Yuyu is dead, my master is dead, and even Xia Peng has completely forgotten his previous things...... Won't I ever know the cause of my master's death in my life?"

Han Yan finally couldn't help but sigh: "In this way, I will briefly tell the little prince what Chen Huayi has said to me these days, and the little prince will listen to it?"

Zhao Qingyan bowed: "Say it." ”

Han Yan sorted out his words for a while, and then spoke: "To put it bluntly, now that I see a little thing, in fact, there is still a big fog in front of me. Like what...... Why was the Remnant Feather Gate slaughtered overnight twelve years ago, why did Xia Remnant Yu and Xia Ming die, and why did Xia Peng, the only surviving person, forget everything......

"Alright, don't talk about it. Chen Huayi suddenly interrupted him, pulling his hair, "I shouldn't be so selfish, I shouldn't have said such nonsense at this time." I'm probably just too attached to hatred for me to let go. In fact...... It doesn't matter, right?"

Han Yan opened his mouth, a trace of pain faintly flashed in his eyes, and he was silent.

For a moment the room was silent, and no one made any noise.

"How can it be indifferent?" Zhao Qingyan suddenly smiled, "Can you feel at ease if you don't check it out?"

Chen Huayi tugged at his lips: "I'm not at ease...... But it's worthless to live for the dead, right?"

"Yes. Han Yan and Zhao Qingyan's answers overlapped and were a little distorted. But it is clear that they are not perfunctory, and this is the answer that they would only have if they were in the same situation.

Zhao Qingyan paused and repeated: "Yes." Because even if you know that revenge is an empty dream, you are still willing to do something for that dream. A person who does this can be wrong. But a lot of people choose this way, so who's to say we're all wrong?"

Chen Huayi asked rhetorically: "Even if you know very well, even if you risk your life, you won't get results?"

Zhao Qingyan smiled, followed his words and gave him a rhetorical question: "Do you think you have done your best?"

Chen Huayi was stunned: "I just think I can't get results." ”

Zhao Qingyan said: "Then I'll help you - I'll help you check." ”

Chen Huayi was completely stunned, and didn't react at all to what his words meant: "What did you say, little prince?"

Zhao Qingyan said: "I said that I will help you investigate, find out the reason for the slaughter of the Remnant Feather Gate, find out the reason why your master was seriously injured, and find out the reason for the crane in Dongfang Bai's hand." ”

Chen Huayi frowned, hesitated for a moment, and still asked, "Why? ”

"It's necessary. Zhao Qingyan crossed his fingers, pressed his chin on his fist, and thoughtfully, "There are too many things that happened twelve years ago. No...... It should be said that it was thirteen years ago. In those two or three years, the bloody cases in the rivers and lakes were too frequent, and there must be something related to it. ”

He stretched out his hand and grinded an inkstone, took a purple pen from the pen holder at random, and laid the paper on what was written on it. After writing about four or five crosses, he grabbed the rice paper and threw it aside: "I can't connect it at all." ”

Han Yan licked his dry lips and suddenly asked, "Does the little prince insist on finding out about this matter?"

Zhao Qingyan raised his eyes to look at him: "Is there any problem?"

Han Yan's words came to his lips but swallowed back, and he simply said, "It's difficult." ”

Zhao Qingyan smiled: "I know." ”

Han Yan said, "Then I wish you all the best?"

Zhao Qingyan was helpless: "Although I know that it can't go well, I still accept your wishes." ”

Ran Haoyan walked in, put the decoction in his hand in front of Zhao Qingyan, and then silently retreated and stood beside him.

Han Yan stood up and put a pile of three-inch thick paper on the side in front of Zhao Qingyan: "This is the autopsy report that the adults wanted, I put the three reports together below, the adults can take a look." Also, during the period when the adults are away, we have prepared some more important things, which may be a little sloppy. ”

Zhao Qingyan took it and flipped it twice at random, and couldn't help laughing: "It's a little sloppy? Are you sure you're not testing my ability to recognize cursive?"

Han Yan spread his hands and said, "My lord, bear with me for the time being, in a few days, we will rearrange these and put them into the Qilin Pavilion files so that they can be seen clearly." Hearing the second half of the sentence, Chen Huayi, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but have a bitter face, and his face was painful.

Zhao Qingyan said: "Forget it, I'll take a look first." I'll hurry up and read it, and then I'll go to your side and talk about it in detail. As for the files handed over to the Qilin Pavilion, you don't have to worry, you can only come to the matter of running around, and I will just sort out the files. ”

Chen Huayi's eyes lit up, and he asked more questions as if he was afraid that Zhao Qingyan would regret it: "Really, this is only a part, and there are many more things to sort out in the end." ”

Han Yan said with a smile: "You can do it, no one forces you, just sort out the files and don't let you come when the time comes?"

Chen Huayi let out an "oh" and stood up: "Little prince, then we will go back first, and if there is something, just call us directly." ”

Zhao Qingyan rolled his eyes angrily: "Nothing to do, do you think I don't know what bad water you have in your stomach?"

Chen Huayi laughed twice, knowing that there were still people waiting, so he stopped joking and said: "Little Wangye, hurry up and drink the medicine, don't let the medicine go cold." Then he walked away quickly.

Zhao Qingyan picked up the medicine that was not so hot in his hand, tested the temperature, and drank it slowly.

Ran Haoxuan waited for a while, and when he saw that Zhao Qingyan didn't command, he took the initiative to ask: "The prince has gone out and hasn't come back yet." Do you want to go and rest first?"

Zhao Qingyan thought for a moment: "No, let's go see Mu Qinghan with me first, calculate the time, it's time to wake up." ”

Ran Hao nodded: "Does the young master want to change a set of clothes?"

Zhao Qingyan stood up with the table: "You go and get a set of white." ”

Ran Hao was slightly stunned, then understood what he meant, and bowed his head in response: "Yes, I understand." ”
