After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

The meaning behind the three words "pimp" is so dirty!

As the daughter of a noble family, when had she ever suffered such an insult?

Lu Yun calmed her mind and kept in mind the mission she was carrying. A thin layer of mist floated in her bright eyes, making her look pitiful.

"My Lord, I didn't expect you to think of me this way."

Her body, which she had managed to hold on to, was shaky and her whole body had a fragile and broken beauty.

Xie Shu glanced at Yan Changqing secretly, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he had something in mind, so he spoke up to help her out.

"This matter is all my fault. Please don't take it to heart, niece."

He apologized to Yan Changqing: "I'm really sorry, it was my wishful thinking to give you a surprise, I was not thoughtful enough, and I was presumptuous."

"My niece will take her leave first."

Lu Yun bowed gracefully without looking at Yan Changqing again, and her graceful figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Her admiration had already been expressed, and she knew that playing hard to get was the only way to attract the other person's attention.

Yan Changqing didn't say anything else, but looked in the direction she left several times.

Xie Shu saw this, happily pulled his sleeve and led him into the study, and poured him tea personally.

To show his intimacy, after Yan Changqing sat down, he casually pulled a chair over and sat next to him.

"Look, this is all my fault."

He handed the teacup to Yan Changqing and said with a smile, "Of course I knew you were coming, so I brewed this pot of spring white tea. This is the second brew, and it tastes the best. Would you like to try it?"

He heard about spring white tea, which was Yan Changqing's favorite when he was a nobleman in the capital.

Yan Changqing is quite meticulous now, luckily he is able to find out even this small matter.

Yan Changqing's face lightened up a bit, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, then nodded and said, "Not bad."

Xie Shu felt relieved and took the opportunity to make a joke: "Brother Yan has high taste and aesthetics. I am afraid that I will displease you."

His words were obviously a pun.

What he was referring to, besides the cup of tea, was also Lu Yun who had just left.

Yan Changqing glanced at him and put down the teacup: "Master Situ, I have something important to discuss with you tonight, and I don't want to be disturbed by outsiders."

Xie Shu pondered his words in his heart and immediately laughed.

The implication is that it was the wrong timing, not the wrong person.

"I know," he said.

Yan Changqing looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What do you know now?"

Xie Shu smiled and stopped worrying about it: "Brother Yan, if you have anything to say, just speak up. My study is absolutely safe."

Yan Changqing didn't answer. He stood up and walked around the study, opening all the windows to check.

After an incense stick of time, he returned to Xie Shu and asked, "There are four guards and eight secret guards around the study, right?"

Xie Shu lost his composure for a moment and took a breath of cold air: "Yes."

He had always known that Yan Changqing was a martial arts expert, but Xie Shu did not agree with the title of "the best in the world" that he had heard of.

Yan Changqing expanded the territory for Dajing and his military achievements were obvious to all.

Xie Shu thought that it was all hype from others.

However, he forgot the saying that goes “There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts”. The reason why Yan Changqing was able to gain the consensus of being “the best in the world” among all the brave and ruthless warriors in the world was because of his real ability.

until today.

He had placed the guards in the open, and he didn't expect Yan Changqing to not notice the secret guards at all.

But two of the secret guards were elders who were heavily supported by the Xie family.

He didn't expect that Yan Changqing could even discover both of them.

Xie Shu re-evaluated Yan Changqing's martial arts ability and told himself: Don't panic, a warrior is just a warrior after all and cannot rule the court.

He has absolute confidence in his own wisdom.

Yan Changqing looked at him and smiled: "It's OK as long as it matches, you sit down."

Although they were clearly in Xie Shu's study, he took the initiative.

Xie Shu didn't argue with him. He sat down and listened attentively.

In fact, he was somewhat curious about what Yan Changqing would say to him.

After all, he had already made the matter of the letter of allegiance very clear.

Lu Yun was just a temporary arrangement, a chess piece planted for the future. Now was the serious matter.

However, Yan Changqing's first words shocked him.

"Lord Situ, do you know that the fourth prince, born to the Empress, is not her biological son?" Yan Changqing asked slowly.

If his expression hadn't been so determined, Xie Shu would almost think he was crazy.

This is impossible.

This is absolutely impossible!

The grandson he raised with care and protection, the greatest support of the Xie family, the one who will ascend the throne as emperor in the future, is not his daughter's biological son?

The news came like a gust of wind, blowing his thoughts into pieces.

"you……"

He calmed himself down and put on a protective smile: "My Lord, slandering the royal bloodline is a serious crime."

Whether the news was true or false, he could not admit it.

The Fourth Prince is already so old. He has been carefully nurtured and taught by him for many years, and he has also invited famous teachers and scholars to come. Who inside and outside the palace doesn’t know him?

As expected, it’s Xie Shu.

In a flash, he reacted and came up with the best solution at the moment - to deny it.

Yan Changqing was not in a hurry either.

Xie Shu was still able to remain calm today because he didn't know that the Fourth Prince actually had the blood of King Ruyang flowing in his body.

It was a hidden chess piece that Prince Ruyang deliberately buried in the palace.

He calmly turned the teacup and observed Xie Shu's expression: "Brother Xie, I'm doing this for your own good."

"Otherwise, all your hard work will only serve to help Prince Ruyang."

His words successfully hit Xie Shu's sore spot.

"You...King Ruyang?!"

Xie Shu cried out in surprise, then reacted instantly: "You mean, the Fourth Prince is the Prince of Ruyang's...?"

He was rarely so panic-stricken.

But this news is too shocking.

The high tone of his voice, the sound he forgot to suppress, successfully revealed his shock.

Under his gaze, Yan Changqing nodded calmly: "Yes, it's the eldest grandson of Prince Ruyang, the child who was announced to have died of dystocia."

He was not surprised by the other party's reaction, but Xie Shu himself was very annoyed.

He just lost his temper.

It was equivalent to handing his own handle to Yan Changqing, whom he did not fully trust.

He calmed himself, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank most of it in one breath.

The fragrance of white peony quickly spreads on the tip of the tongue, followed by a faint herbal aroma, which is the best taste released by the second brew of spring white tea.

He forced himself to think about the aroma of tea to calm his troubled mind.

That’s right, he could accept that the Fourth Prince’s identity was unknown, but he could not accept that he was the eldest grandson of King Ruyang.

Calculating the time, when Queen Xie gave birth to a son, he and Prince Ruyang were in the midst of a passionate affair.

Actually, at that time, Prince Ruyang had the idea of ​​dealing with him?
