The night is getting darker.
All the gates have already been closed.
But because of Xie Xun's special status, the soldiers guarding the square gate saw him and opened the door for him without asking anything.
Xie Xun's horse speed continued unabated.
He walked quickly all the way to Chen's house, and before the concierge came to open the door, he threw down his horse and floated into Chen's house, and then landed quietly at the gate of Qingzhiyuan.
The two maids guarding the gate were basking in the moonlight and whispering about the gossip of Changfuyuan. Suddenly they saw a figure approaching and they both screamed in shock.
Wait until you see it's him.
The two maids hurriedly stopped talking and stepped forward to greet him.
Xie Xun asked: "Has your second lady fallen asleep?"
The two maids replied in unison: "Go to bed."
Xie Xun took a look inside through the door opening and said, "Go and wake her up. I have something urgent to find her and ask her to come to Hengwu Courtyard as soon as possible."
After the two maids responded in unison again, one continued to guard the door while the other hurried into the house.
Xie Xun returned to Hengwuyuan first.
Sitting down in Hengwuyuan, Chen Anning came just after drinking a cup of cold tea.
Chen Anning was only wearing inner clothes and a thin cloak.
Her long hair reaches her waist, without any restraints.
With a bare face, not a single hairpin or jade ornament could be found on his body.
"Is the case settled?" After sitting down in the chair next to him, Chen Anning asked straight to the point. He didn't care at all about his scrutiny.
Even though he was wearing inner clothes, his hands and feet were well covered.
Compared with modern shorts and shorts, it can be said to be quite conservative.
"It's settled." Xie Xun poured her a cup of cold tea, "But this case may involve many things, so..."
Chen Anning tapped the wall of the tea cup with her fingertips, took over his words and said, "So in order not to injure me, you came here to say goodbye to me?"
What a beautiful thought!
After Xie Xun sneered silently, he pressed his elbow on the armrest and half-leaned over to look at her, "I'm here to ask for a hand in marriage."
Chen Anning thought she had heard wrongly and raised her eyes to look at him intently.
Xie Xun curled his lips and said with great certainty: "You heard me right, I'm here to propose to you."
Chen Anning smiled. After laughing, she looked at him again and said, "Tell me, what gave you the courage to have such delusions? Was it because you were kicked by a horse on the way here, or did you suddenly lose your mind?"
Xie Xun tapped the tea table twice and said, "The eldest princess cannot be your support."
Chen Anning joked: "So?"
Xie Xun said bluntly: "Even if it is temporary, it is impossible."
Chen Anning looked at him casually: "Tell me your reasons."
Knowing that she had also been searching for the reason why the eldest princess was so attentive to her, Xie Xun put away his hand, leaned back on his chair, and said casually: "The eldest princess's mansion itself is already in trouble, and there is no spare power to protect you."
"The reason why the eldest princess revealed her long-term illness in front of you is because she wants to win over you and use your status as a disciple of the miracle doctor to protect the eldest princess's mansion."
"The same is true for the purpose of maintaining matchmaking between you and Mr. Wen."
Chen Anning raised her eyebrows calmly.
She thought about all the possibilities.
But she never thought that there would be a crisis in the eldest princess's mansion. The eldest princess wanted to use her to help the eldest princess' mansion survive the crisis.
However, she did not believe anything, "Where is the evidence?"
"You ask me for evidence?" Xie Xun looked at her with a half-smile.
Shouldn't she ask him for evidence? Chen Anning also looked at him inexplicably.
Xie Xun chuckled softly, "Princess Tongchang, Marquis Tongchang, you haven't made any connections?"
Chen Anning's eyes moved vaguely. If he hadn't mentioned it, she would never have thought about it.
"Princess Tongchang, the third daughter of the eldest princess and the consort, is obviously very noble, but she has to share the same title with the notorious Marquis Tongchang," Xie Xun tapped the tea table, "From this point of view , you can get a glimpse of it and know the whole thing."
"Of course I also believe that with your ability, even if you don't have the eldest princess, you can quickly find someone to rely on for yourself. But..." The topic changed, Xie Xun said slowly, "You can like him, and the other party And I am willing to be the lintel you rely on, but the situation is probably not much better than that of the eldest princess’s mansion.”
Chen Anning said calmly: "Everyone has his own agenda."
"It is true that everyone has their own plans, but there is still a difference between the pictures." Xie Xun said calmly, "Take me as an example, my plan for you is very simple. Believe this, you also very clear."
"As for the reasons why other lintels have plans for you, I will not state them one by one. There is only one thing I need to remind you. It is not easy for any lintel to be passed down to this day, and it is definitely not something you can rely on when you want to. , when you want to leave, you can simply leave, including the eldest princess's mansion."
"In other words, once you choose them, or they choose you, you will never be the one who takes the initiative."
"I believe you can get a glimpse of this from the fact that the Kaiyang Hou Mansion did not kill all He Yibo Mansion."
"He Yibo Mansion has been defeated, but it doesn't mean that it has no foundation at all."
"This is also the main purpose of why I came to you today."
"Only by joining forces with me can you avoid risks to the greatest extent and gain a firm foothold in the capital. At the same time, you can also find out the truth about the massacre of Yaowang Valley to the greatest extent."
"Are you done?" Chen Anning said coldly.
Xie Xun nodded, "That's it."
Chen Anning stood up and said, "Then it's better to leave or not."
Sure enough, just a few pros and cons couldn't impress her at all.
Looking at her determined back, Xie Xun asked, "You don't care about the case anymore?"
Chen Anning kept walking: "It's not my business to care about."
Xie Xun stood up and followed her, "You don't care about those lost boys and girls at all?"
Chen Anning said coldly: "You have said that it is very involved. Even if I want to care, I can't do anything. I can only wish you to solve the case as soon as possible and save them from suffering."
She has no reckless heroism.
There is no reckless intention to save people.
She herself has not yet established a firm foothold in this dynasty, and she still carries the hatred of the original owner. It is impossible for her to put herself in danger for a case.
She wants to live.
Xie Xun clicked his tongue twice and said, "I thought that all of you forensic doctors have a compassionate heart."
Chen Anning glanced at him: "You can continue to think that no one will stop you."
Xie Xun surrendered and said: "Okay, let's talk about the conditions. How can you agree to my marriage proposal?"
After Chen Anning walked to the center of the yard, she stopped and turned to look at him: "Since when are we going to investigate a case and have to agree to your marriage proposal first?"
Xie Xun shrugged, "Only in this way can I ensure your safety."
"It seems that you are not very good at being a minister of Dali Temple," Chen Anning mocked, "If you want to protect the safety of my companion, I have to borrow your identity as the fiancée of the third son of Prince Guangling."
"It's not necessary to borrow it." Xie Xun said, "If you have other options."
So thick-skinned! Chen Anning said disdainfully, "It's you who asked for something from me."
Xie Xun looked at her steadily.
Chen Anning said sweetly: "Why, you still want to use force?"
Xie Xun said calmly: "I have some thoughts."
Chen Anning raised her finger at him and said provocatively: "Come on."
