Who Said I Was a Coquettish Bitch

If you are an activist, marrying the prince is much safer than marrying the moody and violent fifth prince, and the chances of getting rewarded are much higher.

Xiao Lin looked around, leaned close to Bai Chen and said, "Recently, the fifth prince doesn't think about government affairs, and his words and deeds are quite sloppy. The emperor issued an imperial edict to reprimand him several times but he didn't show restraint. If this continues, I'm afraid he will be completely out of the game."

"Plus, the emperor is not in good health recently..." Bai Chen said in a very low voice, "It's no wonder Liu Xiang and Liu Rufeng are so anxious. Even if they can't become a queen in the future, they are still noble concubines, and Liu Xiang has a chance to become the head of the country. This is a wishful thinking. Crack."

The throne is the most delicious piece of fat in the world, as long as it is related to it, it can make people count.

"I hope the emperor's illness will recover." Xiao Lin said, "Now these two people..."

He didn't finish his sentence, just shook his head slightly.

Bai Chen understands Xiao Lin's meaning. The prince has a generous personality, but he has little talent and a conservative attitude; the fifth prince has some talents and dares to fight, but has a fatal personality flaw.Neither of them could be considered the best candidates.

On the other hand, the young tenth prince is said to have a good literary talent and military strategy, has the demeanor of the Taizu of this dynasty, and is also deeply loved by Emperor Dehui.It's a pity that he is only 13 years old this year. If Emperor Dehui can survive for another four or five years, he has a great possibility.

He also hopes that Emperor Dehui's illness will recover. He is now in the new dynasty and has long been closely related to the fate of this country.

However, this change of feudal imperial power was not interfered by his seven-rank sesame organ. Bai Chen decided not to gossip about Emperor Dehui's family. He still has important questions to ask Xiao Lin.

"Is there any movement in Qilinfang in the past ten days?" Bai Chen frowned and said, "The case of the female corpse has not progressed. I am afraid that it will become a headless case, so we can only start here."

Xiao Lin said: "Those people are extremely cunning, they must go in and out at night, they will wrap their bodies in black robes and cover their faces, and there are several exits, and they will be escorted by experts after they go out; their people are watching day and night around the brothel, The martial arts are not weak. The shadow guards can't get close, they can only investigate from a distance."

"..." Bai Chen was a little speechless, "They actually did this?"

With such a strong sense of anti-reconnaissance, the boss in Qilinfang may not be easy to deal with.Maybe there are still ghosts in the court who are working for the tiger, and it will be even more difficult for them to investigate.

"But I believe Brother Xiao, you have found something these days, right?" Bai Chen already knew Xiao Lin very well, and seeing his calm look proved that these ten days must not have been nothing.

"I still can't hide it from you." Xiao Lin smiled and said, "After squatting and tracking day and night, the shadow guards made some discoveries."

Bai Chen became excited: "Tell me quickly."

"There are many entrances and exits to the brothel, and most of them are heavily guarded, but the back door for throwing sundries is not so well guarded. My people found that every three to five days, several large bamboo baskets covered with tarpaulins were moved out of that door, and then put on them." The carriage was sent out of the city overnight." Xiao Lin said, "It looks like dried bamboo shoots and vegetables on the surface, but in fact I suspect it is silver taels."

Bai Chen was taken aback, "They transferred the silver out of the city? What do they want?"

Xiao Lin: "There must be an ulterior purpose."

"Is this money given to the brothel by those gentle scum?" Bai Chen said, "Isn't this brothel earning a little too much? They move out a few baskets every two or three days, which is a huge amount. Court officials There is a fixed amount of salary, if it is not for the rich family background, so profligate for many years, if there is no problem, I don't believe it."

"Smart." Xiao Lin showed a look of appreciation, "Those people must be greedy for the people's fat. Recently, there was a famine in Peixian and other counties. The emperor opened the treasury to allocate 100 million taels of silver, and ordered the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry to send the relief silver to the disaster area. , just these few days, the brothel began to frequently move goods in the middle of the night."

Bai Chen's face changed drastically: "You mean someone has been greedy for disaster relief silver?"

"It won't be all greedy, but at least not less than [-]%." Xiao Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, scolded with a downcast face, "These beasts."

Throughout the dynasties, moth vampires who took advantage of disasters to make money would appear. They deceived their superiors and deceived their subordinates, and exploited layer upon layer. In the end, very little money reached the victims.

"The problem is that this is just our guess, and there is no real evidence." Bai Chen felt a little annoyed.

Xiao Lin said: "My shadow guard squatted for ten days and saw a person."

Bai Chen glared at him, "When is the time, don't keep it up."

"Yes." Xiao Lin turned into an obedient golden retriever for a second, and cleared his throat, "I saw Gong Ganzhi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. The person who escorted him left in front of a mansion, and the shadow guard squatted until midnight. Only then did I see him coming out of that mansion and returning to his own mansion."

"It's another big fish!" Bai Chen was excited for three seconds, but then he was a little disappointed, "But even if he saw him, there is no proof."

"I have already sent Feiyun to Pei County to conduct a secret investigation and collected some evidence, and the people at Yushitai are not vegetarians." Xiao Lin said, "The secret letter and some evidence have been presented, and they have been staring at the civil and military officials all day long. Officer, there is something to do now."

Bai Chen wanted to praise Xiao Lin for doing a good job, but he also had doubts, "What if there is an inner ghost in Yushitai?"

"The letter is for Mr. Yushi Tailuo." Xiao Lin said, "Anyone may be an inner ghost, but he is absolutely impossible."

Mr. Luo Bo Chen also knows that he is famously "smelly and tough", the most difficult person in Yushitai. He has a bad temper and is upright. He doesn't give anyone face. High-end officials often scold them face-to-face, making them blush.

Now, I am afraid that the big drama is about to begin.

☆、110 three chapters

The second day coincided with the rest day, Xiao Lin invited the two brothers Jiang Haoran to his house in the name of a small gathering to reminisce about the old days. Although it was to talk about serious business, eating and drinking were also an important part, and they had to be well-prepared.

It was midsummer, and in order to relieve the scorching heat, Xiao Lin's cook went to the "Qinggutan" in the suburbs early in the morning to catch two extremely hard-to-catch cold-water fish, cut the fish meat into transparent thin slices, chilled them in ice, and ate them at noon When cooking, wrap the fish with shredded green onion, shredded ginger and various herbs, and then dip it in the homemade sauce. It is refreshing and cold, with endless aftertaste.

The cook in Xiao Lin's house was brought over from the palace, and his cooking skills are more than ten or eight times better than Bing'er's. Since he came to eat in Xiao Lin's yard, the number of times Bai Chen ate in his own yard has been greatly reduced.

At this moment, Bai Chen was enjoying his meal, his pretty eyes narrowed, and he almost let out a pleasant "meow~~~"

Xiao Lin was quite satisfied with Bai Chen's reaction, relying on his hard work and the hard work of his cook, he couldn't believe that he couldn't abduct this little kitten and eat it up - the son thought so.

"It's the first time I've eaten fish sticks when I've grown up." The dish of fish sticks has always been popular in the upper class of the new dynasty, but Jiang Haochen is weak, and the Jiang family doesn't allow him to eat such a cold food.He is now recovering well, and Jiang Haoran also made an exception and let him eat meat.

Jiang Haochen ate so much that he didn't even have time to put down his chopsticks, "It's delicious, but it's a pity that my cook never cooks this. I want to stay here and eat the meal cooked by the grandpa's cook every day."

"Just know how to eat!" Jiang Haoran tapped his younger brother on the head, "Isn't our cook not good at it?"

Jiang Haochen bit his chopsticks in a serious manner, "It's okay, it's just a little worse than the cook at the Shizi's family."

"You have to be careful." Xiao Lin glanced at Jiang Haoran and said, "You can abduct Young Master Jiang away with a good meal."

"You should still worry about yourself." Jiang Haoran smiled charmingly, "As far as I know, there are many young masters and young ladies who have long admired Mr. Bai."

Xiao Lin snorted, expressing his attitude of disdain to compare with those ordinary people.

Bai Chen: ...

A big golden retriever knows how blind he is.

……

After the pleasant lunch time, several people entered the main hall and began to talk about business.

Xiao Lin informed Jiang Haoran of his discoveries, including the suspicion that some officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households embezzled the relief money and handed over the secret letter and evidence to Mr. Yushi Tailuo.

"One hair will move the whole body." Bai Chen said, "Master Jiang, after Mr. Luo confirms the authenticity of the evidence, he will definitely play a book to the emperor, and the emperor will definitely be furious and investigate thoroughly. Jiang Shangshu, I'm afraid it would be better to make a plan earlier."

Earlier, Bai Chen discussed with Xiao Lin, and their unanimous analysis result was that although Jiang Shangshu was a bit of a man, he was still a clean man, and he should not be involved in the embezzlement and corruption. , which is beneficial to both sides.

Jiang Haoran is a smart person, how could he not understand the meaning of Bai Chen and Xiao Lin, "If the emperor finds out that this matter is really related to the Ministry of Household Affairs, my father, the Minister, must be regarded as the number one suspect, even if it has nothing to do with him after the investigation, It is also inevitable that he will be accused of conniving with his subordinates for ineffective supervision, and the Shang Shu is afraid that he will also be punished to the end."

Xiao Lin: "It's good that you know."

Jiang Haoran gave him a blank look and said: "It's better to find a reason to conduct an internal investigation, first find out that maggot, then the emperor will scold him at most, and will not demote father's official position."

Bai Chen nodded: "That's right, taking advantage of the fact that Yushitai is collecting evidence, it would be better for Mr. Jiang to move faster."

Jiang Haoran pondered for a while, "That's right, I will discuss this matter with my father at night."

Jiang Haochen, who had been listening silently, sighed: "There are many people in the imperial court, and the water is deep, and those who distribute wealth to the people of the disaster are even worse than pigs and dogs."

Bai Chen patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Jiang, evil will never prevail against good."

……

Bai Chen and Xiao Lin are full of sincerity, and of course Jiang Haoran will not come empty-handed.

He has a message.

"What? Mr. Jiang, have you found out about the sudden exhausted man?" Bai Chen's somewhat sluggish mood instantly cheered up, "Who is he? Is he a sudden exhausted nobleman?"

Jiang Haoran said: "On the surface, he is a merchant who came from Tuji to sell spices and herbs, his name is Zhamu, but in fact, he has another identity, he is the third son of Tuji Khan, Azatu."

"Didn't this man be deposed by Khan Tuji?" Xiao Lin said, "He failed to compete with his second brother for the throne, and it is said that he was killed three years ago. It turned out that he was not dead and fled to the capital."

Bai Chen said: "This can also explain why the people in Qilinfang are obsessed with listening to him. Even Fangzheng has to obey him. He is the head of Qilinfang. Before he was abolished, he had long been with our officials A secret network of relationships has been established. Anyone involved in Qilinfang in those previous cases was silenced because his identity could not be revealed."

"This person came to the capital, I'm afraid he has bad intentions." Jiang Haoran covered his mouth with a fan, "He is the king in the Qilinfang enclosure, he used secret methods to collect money, and recently sent a large amount of money out of the city, probably because he wanted to use this This is a way to recruit troops and buy horses, and then come back suddenly."

"It's outrageous!" Jiang Haochen stood up in embarrassment, "Using our country's money to recruit soldiers for him, I really want to beat him to death!"

"Sit down!" Jiang Haoran pushed his younger brother onto the seat, "Keep your voice down, walls have ears, you idiot."

Jiang Haochen drooped his ears: "Yes."

"This matter has to be taken seriously." Xiao Lin's expression was a little dignified, "During the process of recruiting soldiers, he must have colluded with corrupt officials in the court to do some shameful things. I will return home early tomorrow morning to discuss with my father."

"Is the prince not at the mansion today?" Bai Chen asked.

Xiao Lin said: "Father accompanied mother to Xiangyun Temple to clean up, and will come back tomorrow."

Several people discussed for a while, everyone had something to do, Jiang Haoran took his brother away before dinner.

The cook was marinating fish and chicken in the yard, when he saw the two Mr. Jiang leaving, he was dumbfounded, "My lord, I'm going to cook grilled fish and chicken later."

Xiao Lin looked at Bai Chen, and Bai Chen said: "They are gone, let's eat."

National affairs need to be troubled, and the temple of the five internal organs should also be taken care of. It is so delicious, why waste it?

Xiao Lin rubbed his nose and smiled, the kitty really could stay with something delicious.

……

As night fell, the small courtyard wafted out bursts of barbecue aroma.

A lot of food was prepared, Xiao Lin called Ruyi and Binger over to help, and eliminated these delicacies by the way.

The yard is not big, four or five servants are busy coming in and out, chatting and laughing occasionally, it looks quite lively.

Bai Chen likes this feeling, fresh and real.

He and Xiao Lin were sitting next to enjoy the cool air, Xiao Hua was standing on the table, bouncing up and down, coveting the plate of grapes for a long time, but she didn't dare to steal it, it can be said that she was very anxious.

Bai Chen knew Xiao Hua as well as Xiao Lin. He picked up a grape and put it in his palm, "Come on, but you can only eat one."

Xiaohua chirped excitedly, but was afraid of being scolded by Xiao Lin, so she shyly dared not go forward.

Xiao Lin: "If you are told to go, you can go."

"Twitter!" Xiao Hua twirled happily in the air, flew to Bai Chen's palm, picked up the grape and hid aside to enjoy it.

"You are too used to it." Xiao Lin said helplessly, "It has been used to lawlessness by you."

"It even needs your permission to eat grapes, isn't it obedient?" Bai Chen said, "I'm afraid there is no more obedient and well-behaved parrot in this world than Xiaohua."

Xiao Lin looked at the little flower that was pecking at the grapes vigorously, and thought he was right, this little thing is still obedient, without it, probably his gloomy life before would be meaningless.

"Buying it was a mistake, and meeting you was purely accidental," Xiao Lin said, "but now you have all become part of my body."

Bai Chen: ...

This sounds very touching, but it's weird.

While talking, the cook finished grilling the fish and chicken, Bing'er thoughtfully divided the best parts among the two people's plates, brought Mochizuki wine and wine glasses, and put them on the stone table.

"Young master, please enjoy yourselves slowly, Bing'er went over to help." After finishing speaking, he withdrew winkingly.

Bai Chen was pleasantly surprised: "Would you like to drink the moon wine today?"

Xiao Lin said, "Seeing that you like to drink while eating barbecue, I ordered the cook to buy a pot in the morning."

"Ah."

Bai Chen originally wanted to say thank you, but felt that saying thank you would be too much of a gift. He and Xiao Lin no longer needed to thank each other.

The chicken and fish roasted by the chef are delicious, spicy, sweet and sour. When paired with Mochizuki rice, it can make all the troubles go away for a while.Halfway through eating, the bright moon also rose into the sky.

Although the fifteenth day has passed, this month is still nearly round, hanging on the sky like topaz, covering the earth with a warm and cool light curtain.

"The moonlight tonight is so beautiful." Bai Chen raised his head and muttered, "Looking at the bright moon and drinking the moon-watching wine, it feels a bit elegant. It's a pity that the luxuriant trees in this courtyard actually block the moon."

Xiao Lin looked up and asked, "Want to see the moon?"

Bai Chen nodded, "Yes."

"I'll show you."

After finishing speaking, he took the jug, put his arm around Bai Chen's shoulder, and stepped down a bit.

Before Bai Chen could react, he had already reached the roof.

But after climbing a few meters, the full moon seems to be really close in front of my eyes, and I can reach out to pick it up.

No wonder the ancients on TV like to drink on rooftops.The breeze is blowing, the bright moon is in front, how can it be a cool word.

The two sat on the roof, drinking a pot of wine together like heroes of the rivers and lakes, wanton and refreshing.

Even the romantic feelings are floating in the air.

After a few rounds of drinking, Bai Chen felt a little drifting, but his mind was extremely clear.

He likes the feeling of being slightly drunk, and even Xiao Lin, who is wearing black clothes next to him, looks more and more handsome.

"Xiao Chen," Xiao Lin called him suddenly.

Bai Chen turned his head.

"In the past, I didn't want to break up with you, and I even thought about procrastinating in various ways, but Mo'er's words made me suddenly enlightened. The beginning of the two of us was too bad, and I was too much in the past. Don't put an end to the bad past, We will not have a new start. I am so relieved to see you so happy now. I like you and hope you are with me, but I prefer you to be happy. As long as you don't dislike me, I will be by your side, always Wait for you."

This was the first time that Xiao Lin uttered a long inner monologue so earnestly, and Bai Chen was stunned.

☆、110 four chapters

Bing'er and the others were still busy talking in the courtyard, while Bai Chen and Xiao Lin were sitting on the roof, as if they were in another parallel world.

The full moon hangs high in the night sky, and the shadows and light are clearly visible. Even the banyan tree with dense branches and leaves in the courtyard is dyed with a lingering halo by the moonlight.

The breeze blowing on his face added another ambiguity to the warm atmosphere.

Hearing Xiao Lin's long words, Bai Chen turned his head to look at him, a little stunned.

Xiao Lin also looked at him seriously, his pretty eyebrows were unconsciously frowned because of anxiety, and his dark eyes were also dyed bright by the moonlight.

This is the first time Bai Chen has heard someone analyze his heart so straightforwardly, so seriously, even with piety in his eyes.

The world is most afraid of the word serious.

Recalling the little things that happened after meeting Xiao Lin, from hostility to relaxation, from strangers to friends, the past scenes come before my eyes, life is really full of accidents and unpredictability.

Xiao Lin is a person who will do what he says. He just said that he will wait for him, so he will really wait.

Bai Chen knew this very well.

Although he didn't know why his ordinary self was so sincerely loved, Bai Chen's eyes were still a little hot.

People's hearts are fleshy, and no one can be indifferent to this, including him who has lived two lifetimes.

"Yeah, I'm very happy now." Bai Chen took the jug from Xiao Lin's hand, raised his head and took a sip, after drinking, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and looked at him, "But if I don't agree for the rest of my life Woolen cloth?"

Xiao Lin: "Then I'll wait forever, the days are still long."

Bai Chen's heart seemed to be squeezed by someone, it was warm and painful.

……

"But a lifetime is so long, who can say for sure." Bai Chen said, "You and I have only known each other for two years, can the son of the world be sure that he will like me for the rest of his life?"

"I dare not tell others." Xiao Lin paused and said, "But for me, a lifetime is a lifetime."

Bai Chen held back his smile and deliberately teased him, "Did you say the same thing to Mr. Liu?"

Xiao Lin shook his head, "We haven't said anything."

Bai Chen was very surprised, his head was full of question marks.

"Liu Rufeng and I drink tea and play together occasionally, but we never reveal our feelings to each other." Xiao Lin didn't hide anything, "I always think that people who share our hearts don't need to say anything. After becoming the eldest son, you can go to the Liu family to propose marriage."

Bai Chen: ...

This approach is quite in line with Xiao Lin's character before, and this idea is also in line with Liu Rufeng's wishes, so he will not have any scruples in getting along with the two brothers.If it hadn't been for Xiao Chuan to be a moth and develop according to the established route, Liu Rufeng and Xiao Lin would probably be able to sing in harmony and raise eyebrows when they got married.

Having this scene in his mind, Bai Chen became inexplicably upset.

Seeing that Bai Chen didn't speak, Xiao Lin solemnly emphasized: "If I have someone else in my heart, I won't come to provoke you, because it would be unfair to you. Xiao Chen, I don't even have a trace of nostalgia for him .”

"Yeah." Bai Chen said, "That's when you knew he sent the same fan to Xiao Chuan, right?"

Xiao Lin was surprised: "How do you know?"

"Because..." Bai Chen showed a mysterious smile, "It's also a clever calculation~~"

Xiao Lin was amused by his appearance, "Naughty."

"The moon has cloudy and sunny circles, and people have joys and sorrows." Bai Chen put away his mischievous look, looked at the bright moon in the sky, "a lifetime is too long."

Xiao Lin felt a little lost in his heart, and thought that his efforts were not enough to impress him.

But he is not afraid, he still has a lifetime to make Bai Chen fall in love with him.

"Not long, I'm not afraid of waiting." Xiao Lin said pitifully, "As long as you don't get married to others."

"There's no need to wait." Bai Chen turned his head and looked at him with sparkling eyes, "There's no need to wait."

Xiao Lin frowned at first, but slowly, the disappointed expression on his face turned into disbelief, and finally turned into surprise.

"You mean, you are willing to be with me, right?" Xiao Lin restrained her emotions and forced herself to be calm.

Bai Chen nodded: "Try it."

Life is so long, always take that step.

He is a natural pessimist, looking forward to forever, but he doesn't believe in such love, but he is willing to give Xiao Lin and himself a chance.

"Really?" Xiao Lin couldn't believe his ears, so he had to confirm it again.

Bai Chen: "If you ask me again, I will regret it."

"Don't go back on your word." Xiao Lin hugged Bai Chen into his arms, "I will definitely not let you down."

Bai Chen buried himself in Xiao Lin's warm neck, smelling the familiar smell on his body, and felt that the iceberg was choking.

He sniffed, put back the tears in his eyes, reached out and patted Xiao Lin's back, "It depends on your performance."

The two hugged quietly for a long time, until Bing'er suddenly made a sound before separating them.

Binger was holding a basket of fruit, and covered her eyes with one hand, "Oh, Binger didn't see anything!"

Ruyi pulled Bing'er away and said as she walked, "Now we can call craftsmen to break through that wall."

Bai Chen: ...

Xiao Lin thought silently, yes, just do it like this.

……

Although the two confirmed their relationship and the wall was opened on the second day, they didn't spend much more time meeting each other than before.

Dali Temple is so busy, Xiao Lin is also busy with Kang Wang, he has been living in the palace recently.

The two can only eat together at night, and after eating, they chat for a while and play chess, which can be regarded as falling in love in the middle of their busy schedules.

Bai Chen thinks this kind of feeling is quite good, if the two feelings last for a long time, how can they be in the same day and night.

As long as the hearts are together, hand in hand is the best.

Sure enough, there was an action at Yushitai. According to the report from Xiao Lin's spies, Mr. Luo had already collected some evidence, and he was preparing to officially impeach the officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households by Emperor Dehui.

Jiang Shangshu of the Household Department moved faster. Using the name of the internal review in the middle of the year, he caught up with the two corrupt officials two days before Mr. Luo's presentation, and recovered most of the silver. Emperor Dehui.

Not only that, Jiang Shangshu also wrote a ten-page memorial, in which he deeply reviewed his negligence and dereliction of duty, and asked the emperor to punish him. , did not punish him.

Emperor Dehui knew it in his heart, and although he was very angry after seeing Lord Luo's memorial two days later, he also had a countermeasure.

With the glaring evidence in front of him, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was taken down on the spot, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was demoted two ranks by Emperor Dehui because of his ineffective supervision.

In addition, he also ordered a thorough investigation of corruption in various ministries of the court.dirty.He was defeated and ordered Yushitai and Dali Temple to be responsible for investigating this matter.

Naturally, Yushitai is the main one, and Dali Temple is the auxiliary one.

As a result, Bai Chen became even more busy, but the interrogation was not the turn of a seventh-rank sesame official like Bai Chen.All he does is errands.

This investigation also uncovered a series of corruption.dirty.Defeated officials, imprisoned, relegated, this time the battle is not much worse than last year's arrest of traitors.

For a while, everyone in the court was in danger, and the atmosphere was very tense. Officials who like to go to sensual places have not dared to go recently, for fear of being labeled.

After Bai Chen left the office that day, Xiao Lin came to pick him up.

After Bai Chen got into the carriage, Xiao Lin handed him a freshly peeled peach, "Your complexion is not very good, are you too tired?"

"I'm a little tired." Bai Chen took the peaches and took a few bites. The fresh and sweet juice entered his throat, which made his throat feel hot and moist. see."

"The people at Yushitai are worried about you." Xiao Lin said, "Even Mr. Luo can only read the confidential things, and have no way to keep them."

"Hey..." Bai Chen sighed, "This way we won't be able to get clues about Qilinfang."

Seeing Bai Chen finished eating the peaches, Xiao Lin handed over the handkerchief to let him wipe his mouth and hands.

Bai Chen has been here for almost two years, and he is still not used to carrying a handkerchief with him.

"It's okay." Xiao Lin leaned into Bai Chen's ear, "The emperor will not touch Qilinfang this time."

The hot and humid breath sprayed on Bai Chen's ears, itching, and his face turned red for no reason.

Pretending to be calm, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, thought for a while and said, "Don't want to startle the snake?"

Xiao Lin nodded: "Father has already told the emperor the news that the third prince who was deposed suddenly was hidden in Qilinfang. I guess the emperor will not take it all at once this time. It should be to find out a group of moths in the court first, and then wait for the opportunity to destroy them." Qilinfang."

"But this time the anti-corruption battle is so big, Azatu has many eyeliners, and he has colluded with the officials of the DPRK and China. He must have received the information." Bai Chen worried, "I'm afraid he will take the opportunity to escape. Once he leaves the customs , away from me, we will not be able to catch him."

"He is a deposed prince, it is impossible to return to Tuji, and it is impossible to go through Tuji to go to the countries of the Western Regions." Xiao Lin said, "Besides, to him, the capital is a piece of fat, and he has painstakingly managed it here. He is reluctant to give up his sphere of influence. At most, he will come out to be a demon again after a period of silence, don't worry, a gambler like him cannot bear loneliness."

Bai Chen said, "What you said seems to make sense."

Xiao Lin scratched his nose, "The investigation of the case is almost over, and tomorrow is Xiu Mu, shall we go to Moon Tower for dinner?"

Bai Chen nodded wildly: "Okay!"

After all these busy days, he also needs to relax.

☆、110 five chapters

Since the opening of Yinggui Tower, the business of Wangyue Tower has been diverted a lot.

In the past, the bustling scene has eased, and there is no need to book a private room several days in advance. Xiao Lin sent Ruyi to locate the room at noon, and let him book the room near the river bank.

——In the past, it was at least half a month in advance to make an appointment. Bai Chen and Xiao Lin were not in the mood, so they used to sit in the private room on the side of the street to eat.

Bai Chen entered the private room here for the first time, and felt that it was quite different from the one opposite.

This place is obviously much more romantic. The candles are wrapped in pink peach blossom lampshades, revealing soft light. The room is covered with soft gauze curtains, burning with elegant spices, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

The tables and chairs inside are all by the window, which is convenient for guests to enjoy the scenery while eating.

There are strings of colorful lanterns hanging down by the window, and the candles inside are also flickering under the breeze, reflecting the gurgling river in the distance, which has a romantic beauty.

At this time, the night has fallen, and there are many people who come to enjoy the coolness under the willow trees by the river, mainly young scholars, some of them are chatting, some are quietly in a daze, there is no noisy sound, everyone enjoys the rare coolness in midsummer .

"It's no wonder that the private rooms here are so popular. Looking at the river view is much more comfortable and interesting than watching the streets with people coming and going." Bai Chen sat down and said, "It's also thanks to the Yinggui Tower."

"Actually speaking, I prefer the dishes of Wangyuelou." Xiao Lin sent the waiter away, and poured tea for Bai Chen by himself, "It's very domineering."

"Me too." Bai Chen said, "Especially Wangyue Niang, it's a taste that can't be compared with any other fine wine."

Xiao Lin pushed the tea to Bai Chen's face, pinched his face, "I don't know when, you became a drunkard."

"It probably started the night before Xiao Chuan got married, when I drank with you to the moon." Bai Chen recalled the scene back then, and was quite moved, "It was that time, I embarked on the road of no return for an alcoholic. "

Xiao Lin shook his head: "Using words indiscriminately. Drinking alcohol in moderation is good for the body and mind. This is what you told me before."

"Besides, if you hadn't had a drink with me that time and met Xiao Chuan who came to block you, you wouldn't have dared to kick his vitals directly?" Xiao Lin added. Speaking of this, Bingshan's face showed a little Can't hold back the smile.

"..." Bai Chen was shocked, he blinked, "How do you know?"

Xiao Lin: "You live next to me, what can you hide from me?"

"That's when you really believed that I didn't have that kind of thought for him." Bai Chen squinted at Xiao Lin, "Cunning."

"This is wronged." Xiao Lin put the dishes in front of Bai Chen, "It was Feiyun who accidentally saw the report and told me. To be honest, I was surprised when I heard it. You actually kicked him."

"I think you should be even more surprised that your elder brother did such a shameless thing." Bai Chen said, "I'm going to get married the next day, and I still have the mood to block me."

Xiao Lin said: "Thinking about it now, his wishful thinking is probably to snatch away the person I like, and then hook you up, and join him to destroy me completely, so that I will never turn over."

"How can I not know about his black heart?" Bai Chen snorted coldly, "It's just a dream."

"It's also lucky to have you, otherwise I would most likely be beaten up by him." Xiao Lin looked at Bai Chen and said seriously, "Probably you were sent by God to save me."

Hmm... Just imagine, if the real young master of the Hou family married Xiao Lin, with his fascination with Xiao Chuan, [-]% of the time he would be that cheap again.If people are confused, they may really make mistakes.

Thinking of this, Bai Chen readily accepted the sweet words, "It's good to know."

Xiao Lin: "Then I must repay you well."

"How do I repay you?" Bai Chen asked casually while eating.

Xiao Lin had a serious face: "The most sincere thing is of course to promise with your body."

... Bai Chen picked up a piece of ribs and stuffed it into his mouth, "Eat."

How can you talk about such a topic seriously!Bingberg, you have changed!

Xiao Lin ate the ribs silently, with a solemn and serious expression with a trace of innocence and obedience, he was completely different from Xiao Lin who wished to be eight feet away from him and spray the whole universe with air-conditioning when he married him more than a year ago.

The world is so wonderful, Bai Chen couldn't help but think so.

A few small dishes, a pot of wine, enjoying the night view, drinking, chatting, looking at the lover who is close at hand, I feel my heart is full of happiness.

This kind of real and ordinary little happiness is what Bai Chen has always wanted.

He used to always feel that people with Xiao Lin's personality are thousands of miles away from others, they are cold at any time, they will frostbite people, and they will subconsciously avoid them.He likes sunny people, and he can feel his warmth before he gets close.

But now he realizes that he was wrong. For some people, hardness and indifference are just his shell. After breaking the shell, he will find that there is a sincere heart that is purer than anyone else.

Thinking about it this way, he seems to have made a profit.

"What are you laughing about secretly?" Seeing Bai Chen looking out the window with his chin on his hands, Xiao Lin thought it was so cute, he couldn't help touching his face again.

Bai Chen took advantage of the situation and rubbed his hand sideways, "It's okay."

Xiao Lin felt a little fever on his face.

He suddenly realized that when he really liked someone, even a small gesture made by the other person unintentionally could make his heart beat wildly.

"Why are you in a daze instead?" Seeing Xiao Lin's face flushed slightly, Bai Chen thought to himself, this guy still knows how to be shy?It really is a big golden retriever.

Xiao Lin coughed, "I'm distracted."

"Let's eat." Bai Chen said, "After eating, let's go for a walk by the river, the river breeze is the most comfortable."

"Ah."

……

After dinner, the two went for a walk by the river. There were no street lights in ancient times, and the lighting by the river was all based on the moonlight and the flickering lights of the Moon Tower, which gave the place a sense of secret and ambiguity.

Willow head on the moon, after dusk.

Xiao Lin looked up at the sky, the moon was just hanging on the willow tree, occasionally a couple of whispering couples could be seen by the river, exactly as written in the poem.

The wind is a bit strong, and the slowly flowing river is blown out of ripples, reflecting the
