Xiao Yan didn't seem to expect that Prince Hatred would suddenly catch up with him, more like he didn't expect that he would see him getting close to Tang Ning.
He lowered the curtain with a "swish" to block the outside view. He sat on the edge of the carriage window, directly blocking the petite Tang Ning next to him. He looked up at Prince Hate with a cold look. meaning.
"What else does the prince have to do?" Xiao Yan's voice was cold.
"I……"
Prince Hate swallowed his saliva and felt a chill on his neck.
Meeting Xiao Yan's dark gaze, he stuttered a little: "No, it's nothing serious."
He originally wanted to ask how the Longting Guards could listen to Xiao Yan and also ask the Major General Di Tao of the Zhen'an Army who suddenly came to Beijing if he also came to Beijing because of Xiao Yan, but he had forgotten about it. Can speak in front of the house.
Although the concierge of the Hate County Prince's Mansion did not dare to raise his eyes and take a closer look, just in case...
Prince Hatred always felt that if he said more than a few words, Xiao Yan would go back on his word and kill him.
He coughed and said quickly: "I'm just grateful to Governor Xiao for visiting me. I also accidentally learned about the Lu family's affairs. The Jin Zhi had been sent to the prison to be handed over to the Criminal Division for trial. Governor Xiao If there is anything unclear, feel free to come to me later."
Seeing that he was understanding, Xiao Yan looked a little relieved and said, "Thank you very much, Prince. I will take my leave now."
"Director Xiao, walk slowly."
Cang Lang flicked his whip, and the carriage began to move. The night wind brought up the carriage curtains, and Xiao Yan could be vaguely seen turning his head and whispering something to the person next to him.
Miao Chun looked shocked: "Your Majesty, the person in the carriage is..."
"Shut up!"
Prince Hatred didn't wait for him to finish his words before he shouted in a low voice: "No matter how much you have seen what happened just now, you are not allowed to reveal even a single word. If anyone dares to gossip about it, I will kill him." Life!"
"Slave doesn't dare."
Miao Chun quickly lowered his head, and the concierge and others all responded.
Prince Hatred gave a warning look to a few people before he regained his composure and looked up in the direction the carriage was leaving.
He didn't expect Song Tangning and Xiao Yan to have such a relationship. He thought they were just siblings, but the charm and affection when Xiao Yan held her hand just now...
Prince Hatred was a little surprised. No wonder Xiao Yan would torment them so much when he found out that he and the fourth child were plotting against Song Tangning. The fourth prince and concubine in Lingyun Temple had been ruined, and the eldest princess's house was beaten to the end. Even he and the fourth child were also tortured. Trapped in it, all of this was probably done by Xiao Yan.
He had already set up a trap and tricked everyone. Compared to being cruel to the fourth child and the others, Xiao Yan had been merciful to him even though he had punished him, but he didn't realize it.
Prince Hate is a little scared, but also a little gossipy.
Xiao Yan is like Song Tangning, so is he a eunuch?
Could it be that the He family had not purified themselves before entering the palace? Otherwise, how can he do the things between men and women after he has purified his body...
wrong.
Prince Hate's eyes narrowed slightly. He remembered how protective Xiao Yan was of that girl. He shouldn't have humiliated Song Tangning like that. Moreover, with the arrogance of the girl from the Rong family, and Mrs. Rong Guo's reconciliation with Prince Cheng in the first place. Definitely.
If Xiao Yan was really disabled, how could Song Tangning be with him and be so intimate with him in words and deeds.
The most important thing is that Xiao Yan is the only one left in the He family. If he really becomes an eunuch, the He family will have no heirs.
He was afraid that he had found a way to sneak into the palace and had never purified himself.
Prince Hatred suddenly felt relieved. Did he... have caught Xiao Yan's "handle"?
…
"Lord Governor, he is still watching."
After Canglang finished speaking outside, Tang Ning gently lifted the car curtain and looked back. She saw the figure of Prince Hatred still vaguely standing in front of the door, as if looking at this side. She whispered: "King Hatred. The king may think he has caught my brother’s hand.”
Xiao Yan stretched out his hand to protect Tang Ning's side, fearing that the carriage would shake and she would hit the wall.
"Although Xie Pingjia is desperate, he is still a member of the royal family, so he still needs to be cautious. He is afraid of scheming with a tiger, so it would be nice to let him have some leverage to put his mind at ease."
Canglang outside said, "An Xin, ready to go?"
A piece of hibiscus cake was thrown out of the carriage and hit Canglang directly on the back of the head. He covered his head with a "ouch".
Xiao Yan looked coldly: "Do you want me to send you on your way first?"
He talks a lot lately.
A chill ran down Canglang's spine, and he quickly shrank his neck and shut up.
Tang Ning couldn't help laughing when she saw the sudden silence outside. When she put down the curtain and turned around, she saw Xiao Yan subconsciously protecting her. She couldn't help but pursed her lips and exposed the pear dimples on her cheeks. She reached out to hook Xiao Yan's hand and held it. Fingers squeezed between his large, well-jointed hands.
Xiao Yan looked at the two of them intertwining their hands, and then his eyes softened again, and he took back the hand wrapped around hers.
"Xie Pingjia is not stupid. After knowing my relationship with you, he will be more confident in taking the lead in the court. With him at the front to force Emperor An to apologize and give in, he justifiably delegates power to me. Later, I will be able to suppress the vassal kings and wield military power more smoothly..."
"Brother, you don't need to explain to me."
Tang Ning sat next to him and said softly: "I never wanted to avoid others. Besides, I have read all the letters sent back from the northwest in the past few days."
"You don't want the civil strife in the Wei Dynasty to take advantage of Beiling. In addition, there has been no news from Lu Jiu'an. If King Pingshan takes the opportunity to rebel, the imperial court will be attacked from both sides."
After the incident in Nandi, Xiao Yan temporarily returned to the court as He Jiazi, not only to force Emperor An to compromise, but also to prevent him from jumping over the wall in a hurry. The court would definitely need someone to cooperate with Xiao Yan to temporarily "take power" and stabilize the court situation. Suppress the dissent of those feudal kings who want to cause chaos.
"Let Prince Hatred see my relationship with my brother and know my brother's weaknesses, then he will feel at ease."
Xiao Yan looked sideways at Tang Ning and saw that the little girl's eyes were clear when she raised her face, and the pear dimples were sweet, so he squeezed her gently between his fingers.
"Our little Begonia is getting smarter and smarter."
When they first met, the girl in front of her still had a childish air, but now she is more feminine and charming. She smiled, her dark pupils under the fine eyelashes were very beautiful, Tang Ning tilted her head: "Brother taught me well."
Xiao Yan's jaw trembled slightly, and laughter escaped from his throat: "He is still as good at coaxing people as ever."
Tang Ning groaned: "There is no coaxing. I don't know who thought I was stupid and said I was like a clay pot rolling on the ground..."
Xiao Yan laughed for a while and suddenly felt guilty. He held her in his arms with his big hands, lowered his head and kissed her red lips: "That's definitely not the governor."
"If you know someone who has a bad mouth, I will help you beat him up."
Tang Ning was so angry that she pinched his waist and rubbed his ears and temples together.
Outside, Canglang was pulling the reins, and when there was a sudden silence from behind, he glanced at the horse, which was alone and was only pulling the cart forward, and then looked at himself, feeling overwhelmed.
tomorrow!
He wants a two-horse carriage! !
