Take Di Tao with you?
Zhang Bin's face was filled with astonishment: "Will Di Shuangcheng agree?"
That was his biological son. After entering the capital, his life and death would be left in the hands of others.
Xiao Yan looked indifferent: "If he believes that I am from the He family and is sincere to me, he will agree. If he has other thoughts, he will even agree."
Di Shuangcheng knew very well what his purpose was when he revealed his identity. If he really wanted to help the He family, and what he had shown before was sincere, then he would be worried about his safety.
Beiling has been immobile recently, and it is difficult for Di Shuangcheng to leave Luoyan Pass, so he can only send others to help him. Then he only needs to say that he will take Di Tao to practice, find an excuse to take Di Tao back to Beijing, and find a way to let him go Di Shuangcheng would agree if he got the military power in Beijing.
For the sake of the "big plan", it is necessary to retain people in Beijing to hold military power.
If Di Shuangcheng had other thoughts, he would send people to follow Xiao Yan after Long Tingwei was aroused. Under such circumstances, no one would be more suitable than his own son.
"Just follow your instructions and Di Shuangcheng will not refuse." Xiao Yan said.
Zhang Bin nodded when he heard this: "Don't worry, Lord Governor, I will tell Tubai and the others to be careful to avoid them."
…
Everyone in the room dispersed, and a secret guard stood guard in front of the door.
Xiao Yan sat alone at the table for a long time before taking out the dragon pattern pendant he had always carried.
The jade pendant is greyish-green in color, not as transparent as bright jade. When the two pieces are put together, and the severed heads and tails are connected, the yin lines of varying density and snake patterns are intertwined, and can be seen at the head and tail of the dragon. Some seem to be hollowed out with holes of different sizes.
Jade is not really a good jade, but looking at it like this, no one can tell that this thing is something that can be used to order the Zhen'an Army and Longting Guards. It is just the "jade comb" that Xiao Yan will get from Di Shuangcheng. ", when placed together with the dragon pattern pendant, it was discovered that the two were made of the same material.
Xiao Yan lowered his head and looked down before inserting the small "jade comb" into the dragon's head.
Every detail is perfect.
"It really is……"
Xiao Yan looked at the dragon pattern pendant in his hand and made a faint sound.
Before my father's death, I'm afraid there was a warning, and half of the dragon-patterned pendants were sent out of the palace and fell into the hands of the Rong family.
Xiao Haitang's parents died tragically as a result. Empress Lu also coveted the Rong family's "dowry" for many years. She even dug people's graves and plotted Tang Ning's marriage to find this dragon jade order. What about Rong Qian'an, the powerful Rong family of two dynasties? The head of the family was the Taifu whom Taizu relied on so much that even the late Emperor and Emperor An had to give in.
Does he know that this thing is on Xiao Haitang?
There was also the incident when my father suddenly became "violent" and "crazy", and even the family's counterattack, along with the sudden rebellion and bloodbath...
Xiao Yan tightened his palms. Thinking of the fire in the East Palace, there was some gloom in his eyes, and the lines on the dragon-patterned pendant were almost embedded in his palms.
There was silence in the room. After a long while, he exhaled a breath and subconsciously reached out to touch the sachet at his waist.
There was jasmine that had been dried long ago, and not much of its previous fragrance was left, but the seriousness in Xiao Yan's brows and eyes still softened.
After putting away the dragon pattern pendant, Xiao Yan squeezed the sachet.
"It seems that I have to urge my newly recognized brother to meet Shang Qin as soon as possible..."
I don’t know if his little girl misses him.
…
Tang Ning naturally missed Xiao Yan. It had been several days since the letter sent to the northwest was sent. She didn't know where it was. It was useless to worry about it even though she was thousands of miles away.
But Tang Ning is not idle either. Rongsheng Academy is on the right track. In addition to taking Xue Ru to school every day, she is also becoming more and more proficient in everything in the capital.
As July passed, Beijing was like a lake thrown into a huge boulder, startling a large number of panicked wild ducks.
Not only did the Lingyun Temple incident not fade away with time, but it became more and more intense.
From the beginning, the queen and her son used the eldest princess Leyang to plot against Tang Ning, and later the second prince used the scheme to destroy the innocence of the fourth prince and concubine, and the aristocratic family was involved.
Not long after that, Prince Huan, Prince Ji, and the indifferent Prince Ping, along with several princes who were approaching adulthood in the court, were all pulled in.
The morning court almost turned into a street scene, with princes, princes, and courtiers attacking each other.
The court was in chaos, everyone had their own selfish interests, and the memorials were piled high with the Dragon Case, which made the already irritable Emperor An have a headache.
The second prince sent someone to look for Xiao Yan, but he blocked the door because he was seriously injured and needed to rest. The visitor was not annoyed and only left a few words of resentment that the second prince was wronged and left.
Someone from the palace came once, but after Xiao Yan stumbled and fell before he could get up, Emperor An gave up his plan of letting him get involved in the matter.
Compared with others, the ones who were most saddened were Empress Lu who was grounded, and the Fourth Prince who was thrown into prison and was bitten by the Fourth Prince's mother-in-law.
Empress Lu had just learned that the incident had been revealed, and the fourth prince's innocence had been insulted. When the fourth prince and the fourth prince were imprisoned, she almost jumped over the wall, but things took a turn for the worse.
On this day, when Empress Lu was worried and thinking about taking a desperate risk, Jin Zhi suddenly brought news from the outside in a hurry.
"Where did this news come from?"
Empress Lu listened to Jin Zhi saying that the second prince was scolded by Emperor An, which caused chaos outside, and the fourth prince became the inconspicuous one. She quickly raised her head and asked.
Jin Zhi whispered: "It's the little palace lady who delivers the food. The servant gave her some money, and she helped to find out the news about the court and the outside world."
Empress Lu suddenly laughed when she heard this. Her tense mind suddenly relaxed, and even the new wrinkles between her eyebrows smoothed out.
"Empress?" Jin Zhi couldn't help but be confused when he saw her happy.
Empress Lu looked relaxed: "His Majesty decreed a grounding, and Zheng'er was imprisoned again. The Zhao family is clinging to Zheng'er, so Zhao Yinxuan is useless."
"Who among the people in the palace now doesn't know that our mother and son have offended His Majesty. The people in the palace have always been the shrewdest. Besides, there are so many people watching outside. How dare she accept you as a little palace lady who delivers food?" Is Yinzi sending you a message?”
Jinzhi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "The empress is saying..."
"Xiao Yan, it must be him."
Empress Lu has been feeling anxious ever since she found out about Lingyun Temple. What she is afraid of is not that the fourth prince will be convicted. This matter is obviously being plotted against them. What she is afraid of is that Xiao Yan, the eunuch, knows what they have done and what they are doing. She fell out, fearing that he would attack their mother and son because of Song Tangning.
During this period of time, Xiao Yan had not shown up to recuperate. The situation of their mother and son was getting more and more difficult. She had been enduring it, waiting for Xiao Yan to show up. If he really wanted to abandon their mother and son, then she would fight to the death to drag him to be buried with him. .
Fortunately...
Fortunately, Xiao Yan still had concerns.
Queen Lu's heart, which had been tightly held during this period, relaxed. She let Jin Zhi help her sit down and said with a smile, "After all, he is still afraid that I will be destroyed together."
