The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

"Squeak!"

The door was pushed open, Xiao Yan opened his eyes alertly and looked towards the door.

After seeing that the person coming was Jiang Ci, he slowly sat up from the bed and stared at the other person inquiringly.

"Have we met before?"

The first time I saw him, I felt familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him before.

Jiang Ci thought to himself that the year he left Leng Palace was when Xiao Yan came to Beijing to be a hostage, and the two had met once in the harem.

I was young at the time and my memory is already very hazy.

I only vaguely remember the day I met Xiao Yan. He was being made difficult by several princes and princesses in the back garden, who asked him to kneel down and act as a horse for the third prince.

Perhaps out of sympathy, he remembered the name of the Prince of Wuling.

"Prince Xiao has lived in the capital since childhood, how could he have met me?"

A hint of coldness flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes: "Do you know my identity?"

Jiang Ci lightly lifted his robe and sat at the table, with a slight smile on his lips.

"Since I dare to take you in, I have to investigate your identity clearly. The people who came to kill you today are all from the Nanyang Military Camp. The only people who can mobilize this group of scouts are the masters of Prince Wuling's Mansion."

After finishing his words, Jiang Ci glanced at Xiao Yan and played with the white porcelain tea cup with his slender fingers.

"You don't have to worry. If I had the intention to harm you, I wouldn't keep you here till now."

"I know that if you wanted to kill me, I would already be a corpse by now."

Jiang Ci said calmly: "When you were seven years old, you went to Beijing and became a hostage. You were humiliated in the palace. You have to pretend to be crazy and act stupid to survive today. You must have thought about seeking revenge in your heart, right? It's a pity that 12 years after you left Nanyang, the Wuling Palace has long been Things have changed and people have changed. Although you carry the name of Prince Wuling's son, you are not respected by Prince Wuling. This time you were hunted down when you went out. Although it was not the order of Prince Wuling, it was also due to his partiality."

Xiao Yan slowly closed his eyes and clenched his hands tightly on his knees.

"Mr. Jiang, you know everything about my investigation."

Jiang Ci stood up and waved his white gown.

"I don't mean to expose your scars, I just want you to understand that given your current situation, let alone your desire to return to the capital to kill your enemies, you are lucky to have survived your stepmother's pursuit."

Xiao Yan stared at Jiang Ci with a deep gaze.

"What's your purpose in saying this?"

"How about a deal?"

Xiao Yan stared at Jiang Ci silently for a moment.

"how to trade?"

Jiang Ci smiled faintly: "I will help you secure your position as the crown prince of Prince Wuling, and I will also help you gain the real power of the Southern King's Army."

"condition."

Although they had only known each other for a few days, he could feel that the young man in front of him was very deep.

If there is no benefit, it will not be early. Given such an attractive condition, what he wants will not be simple.

"Allegiance to me."

Xiao Yan frowned and looked at Jiang Ci in confusion.

"What exactly do you want to do?" To ask him to be loyal must be because he valued the [-] troops in King Wuling's hands.

Who is he?What do you want to do if you want to control so many armies?

Jiang Cifeng narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Revenge!"

-

Just after dawn, a group of strangers came to the backyard of Jishitang.

They walked to Xiao Yan's room and knelt down in front of Xiao Yan.

"My subordinate's incompetence caused my master to be seriously injured. Please punish me."

Xiao Yan glanced at them with a cold expression.

"That man wanted to kill me. This time he sent dozens of scouts to intercept him halfway. You have done your best."

The leader of the young guard's eyes were red: "Master, you should punish your subordinates. If your master is injured, your subordinates must bear the blame!"

Xiao Yan sighed softly: "We will discuss this matter another day. My injury is almost healed. We will leave here soon."

"Yes, this subordinate will prepare now."

Yan Shu heard a stranger talking outside, so she dressed neatly and walked out of the room.

A young man walked directly towards her.

"Are you Miss Yan?"

Yan Shu looked at the other person curiously: "It's me."

The young man bowed his hands and said, "On behalf of my master, I would like to thank the girl for saving her life. This is a 3000-tael silver note. The master said it was money to buy your century-old ginseng plant."

Yan Shu raised his eyebrows: "Are you from Young Master Xiao?"

"Exactly."

Yan Shu chuckled and took out the jade pendant that Xiao Yan had given her.

"This is the pendant that Young Master Xiao pledged to me at that time. Now that Young Master Xiao has sent 3000 taels, this pendant will return to its original owner."

Yun Qing took the pendant, and Yan Shu generously accepted the bank note.

"Master Xiao is planning to leave?"

Yun Qing said: "I have been harassing you for many days, and my master is preparing to leave today."

Yan Shu nodded. I'm afraid that Mr. Xiao's identity is not simple, otherwise he wouldn't have attracted so many killers.

It would be better to send this time bomb away as soon as possible.

After Yun Qing handed the banknote to Yan Shu, he returned to the room and reported to Xiao Yan.

"Master, the bank note has been handed over to Miss Yan, and Dr. Lin has paid the consultation fee. We can set off now."

"it is good."

Yun Qing stepped forward and carefully helped Xiao Yan out of the house.

Xiao Yan suddenly stopped as if remembering something, turned around and looked towards the room where Yan Huai was.

"Go and inform Young Master Yan."

After spending a few days with this little brother Yan, his mood inexplicably became much calmer.

"Okay, I will send you to the pavilion over there to rest first."

Xiao Yan nodded and was helped by Yun Qing to sit down in the pavilion. Yun Qing walked quickly to Yan Huai's room.

Because an assassin broke in last night, Yan Shu vomited blood and fell into a coma. Yan Huai also stayed up all night and was now sleeping deeply.

Suddenly he heard a knock on the door. He thought it was Yan Shu coming to find him, and he suddenly woke up.

"Here comes."

After putting on his clothes, Yan Huai hurriedly opened the door.

Yan Huai looked puzzled when he saw a stranger standing outside the door.

"you are?"

Yun Qing said: "Master Yan, my master is about to leave. Please come to the pavilion to talk, Master Yan."

Yan Huai looked toward the pavilion and felt relieved when he saw Xiao Yan sitting there and looking in his direction.

He walked right over.

"Brother Xiao, are you leaving?"

Xiao Yan nodded: "I have been harassing you for many days. Now that my people have been found, it is time to set off."

Yan Huai sat down and looked at Xiao Yan with some reluctance.

"We say goodbye today and I don't know when we will see each other again. Brother Xiao, take care of yourself all the way."

Xiao Yan smiled faintly: "We will meet each other if we are destined."

After saying this, he took out a token from his sleeve: "If you go to Nanyang one day, you can take this jade pendant and go to Xiao Mansion in Southeast Lane to find me."

Yan Huai accepted it happily: "Okay, if I have the opportunity to go to Nanyang, I will definitely pay a visit."

Xiao Yan took a deep look at Yan Huai and finally said nothing.

After Yun Qing came, he stood up and said goodbye.

Yan Huai personally escorted him out. After watching him get on the carriage and leave, he looked away and returned to the back hall.

At this time, Jiang Ci was freshening up in the courtyard.

Yan Huai glanced at Jiang Ci, thinking of the conversation between the two last night, the atmosphere was a bit strange.

"Master Xiao is gone?" Jiang Ci took the initiative.

Yan Huai responded in a muffled voice, walked straight to the water tank, and fetched water to wash up.

"Jiang Erlang, I hope you will think carefully about what I said last night."

Jiang Ci frowned and slowly wiped his slender hands with a handkerchief.

"You don't have to wait a few days, I'm telling you now, as long as she doesn't say she's leaving the Jiang family, I will never take the initiative to drive her away."

Yan Huai frowned: "What if she decides to leave?"

Jiang Ci raised his cold eyes slightly, glanced at Yan Huai coldly, ignored him, put away the handkerchief and left.

If she decides to leave, he will do whatever it takes to get her back.
