Xian Sheng fell into a deep sleep, but this night he had another nightmare.

He dreamed that Zhanzhen went to Qinlou, found Dianbai with a girl, and began to torture him with punishment when he came back.Then, the elder brother who had just entered Beijing was also sent to prison. In order to torture him, Zhan Zhen killed his elder brother in front of him.

"Sheng'er?" He was awakened, his forehead was wet with cold sweat, and he was in a daze for a while.

Zhan Zhen wiped his face and said, "Did you have a nightmare?"

"Hmm..." When Xian Sheng was sober, he was able to control his emotions very well. He looked at Zhan Zhen's gentle eyebrows and eyes, and it was hard to imagine what it would be like for him to raise a butcher's knife to himself one day.

Confused by the darkness of the night, Xian Sheng slowly came over and buried his face in his arms.Zhan Zhen felt weak in his heart, feeling sorry for his rare fragility, but also happy because of his dependence, he touched Xian Sheng's head, and gently hugged him tightly: "Don't be afraid, if you have nightmares in the future, you will bring Gu into it." , Gu will take good care of Sheng'er."

Xian Sheng found it funny because of his words, how could it be so easy to take whoever he said in his dream?

But he still softly agreed: "Okay."

After a night of nothing, the next morning, Xian Sheng woke up and suddenly heard the sound of a sword cutting through the air in the room.

He opened the bed curtains, put on his shoes, looked up and saw Zhan Zhen playing with a long sword in his hand, saw him wake up, and said: "Qin Lou picked it up yesterday, come and take a look."

"I don't know much about this." Xian Sheng poured himself a glass of water to moisten his throat, then walked towards him and asked, "How long have you been up?"

"Gudu is back from sword practice." Zhan Zhen handed over the sword, Xian Sheng stretched out his hand, but he shrank again: "It's a bit heavy, put it on the table."

Xian Sheng then sat down and touched it carefully, only to feel that the sword body was white all over, but it was cold, and he should drink blood frequently. He speculated: "This sword should have a good name."

"Sen Bai." Zhan Zhen said, "Have you ever heard of it?"

Xian Sheng shook his head and said: "I have been living in the deep palace all year round, so I don't know much about Jianghu."

"This is He Ermi's sword." Zhan Zhen's tone was light, but his eyes were deep.Xian Sheng raised his eyes to look at him, and suddenly realized who he was going to arrest yesterday. He collected his thoughts and asked curiously, "Have you sealed up all of Qin Yi's dens?"

"He acted cautiously, and he has only exposed one place so far. It was the last time you were taken away."

"Are you going to kill him?"

"Your elder brother is about to arrive in Shangjing. In order to prevent them from meeting privately, Gu must act first."

"If they really will meet in private, why don't you just catch them?"

Looking at each other, Zhan Zhen held his chin and said, "If this is the case, your elder brother may also be implicated."

"Elder brother doesn't get along with Qin Yi, not to mention that now that the overall situation is settled, he won't join hands with Qin Yi."

Zhan Zhen looked at Xian Sheng quietly, and the latter also looked at him flatly. Zhan Zhen suddenly reached out and touched his cheek. There were some marks on the place where he had bitten yesterday. He said, "Princess really thinks that the overall situation is settled." Is it gone?"

Xian Sheng's expression didn't change, but he quickly understood what he hadn't said.If Xian Sheng is calm, then the marriage between the two countries can really determine the overall situation. The Xian merchants will not rashly join hands with Qin Yi to fight against the Jin Dynasty, but if Xian Sheng has a secret and hides this secret from the Da Jin, then one side On the one hand is Da Jin, who is covetous and might be furious because of his secret at any time, and on the other is Qin Yi, a man from Liang who loves Xian Sheng but can't ask for it. Xian Shang will most likely choose to join forces with Qin Yi to smooth this matter out before revealing it.

Regardless of how to wipe it off, but Zhan Zhen has now noticed that he will definitely react based on this matter.

He must determine whether his wife has a secret before the salt merchants come to Shangjing, which will determine how he treats the salt merchants who come to visit relatives.

Zhan Zhen is so smart, Xian Sheng sighed in his heart, he drove himself to a desperate situation in just a few words, implying that he had reached the time of frank confrontation, he was probing and pressing every step of the way, but he gave him a kind of It seems to be the same illusion as thinking about love.

But how could Xian Sheng take the initiative to confess, if he said it now, his brother thought that visiting relatives was going to hell, but things have reached this point, and it is not easy for Xian Sheng to write to his brother to persuade him to return, which is tantamount to admitting that he has hidden secret.

Xian Sheng suddenly turned his head, dodged his hand, and made a displeased expression: "I have given you all of myself now, and you still say these words?"

Zhan Zhen withdrew his hand and was stunned for a while.Every time Xian Sheng retorted, he felt that he was wrong, so he said: "It's Gu's mistake, let's eat something first."

Xian Sheng ate as little as before, and after eating, he fell on the reclining chair, but someone suddenly came from the palace, calling Zhan Zhen.

Zhan Zhen put on his big cloak and said to him, "I think it's because of what happened to Qin Lou yesterday, and my father has something to ask."

"Be careful on the road." Xian Sheng didn't move, he was physically and mentally exhausted, but he still had to hold on, his voice was weak.

His mood was low, which made him visibly depressed.Hearing Zhan Zhen's departure, he slowly closed his eyes, feeling at a loss.

The footsteps left, but turned back suddenly, Xian Sheng opened his eyes subconsciously, the recliner under him was shaking because of being supported by Zhan Zhen, he was a little at a loss: "Why all of a sudden, um..."

The lips were kissed, Zhan Zhen left panting slightly, and said in a low voice: "To be honest, did you send a letter to Qin Yi yesterday?"

Xian Sheng blinked, as if he was suddenly breathed into life, and came back to life for a short time: "No."

He had a clear conscience about this matter, "I'm afraid you know far better than me what I did in the Prince's Mansion, Zhan Zhen... I didn't deliberately obtain any information around you. I'm not a fool. I'll go in, once anything happens, the first suspect must be me, such a trap, do you think I will fall for it casually?"

Zhan Zhen's breathing calmed down, and he said, "I trust you alone."

Then kissed him again, and coaxed: "Don't be unhappy, it hurts to look at you alone."

Xian Sheng looked at him for a while, then slowly lowered his eyelashes, and said softly, "Yes."

Zhan Zhen stroked his cheek, and when he got up to leave, Xian Sheng suddenly asked, "How long will my brother be here?"

"About early February."

There are still at least half a month.

In addition to meeting Zhanzhen today, Emperor Jin also announced Zhanjin. He probably wanted to ask how he was doing under Jiang Qin. In order to prevent the Emperor Jin from seeing the clues, Zhanjin specially wore some white, so he could barely see A bit of a girl's home.

If Zhan Zhen is a sharp knife hanging above his head to him, then Emperor Jin is like a guillotine cut down in an instant to him, and he has to deal with it carefully.

He followed Jiang Qin into the palace, but suddenly heard someone shout: "A Jin!"

When he raised his eyes, his face became tense instantly. Jiang Qin saw his expression, then looked at Qing Rong who was walking with a smile, and said, "I've seen the Princess."

"I've come to ask Ajin to say a few words." Qingrong's eyes were gentle, and Zhanjin pursed his lips with obvious reluctance. If there is something urgent, if the princess has something to do, you might as well wait until you come out."

He wanted to help, but Qingrong opened his mouth without changing his smile: "The prince hasn't come yet, the little general is in a hurry... It's okay, if Ah Jin doesn't mind, it doesn't matter if I say it here, just a few words That's all."

Jiang Qin was waiting for a response, but Zhan Jin had already said, "Let's talk over there."

He could only stop and wait, frowning and looking at Zhanjin.

Qing Rong followed Zhan Jin to a remote place, turned her head to see Jiang Qin's expression, and suddenly smiled: "It seems that the little general has a crush on you."

Zhan Jin said lightly: "If you have something to say, you might as well speak up."

Qingrong's eyes fell on his protruding chest, and she covered her lips and smiled again: "What are you?"

Zhan Jin looked at her coldly, Qing Rong calmed down a little, and said, "Why are you so unhappy every time you see me? Jin, I have worked so hard to keep a secret for you. Think about it, if you are His Majesty knows that you are deceiving the emperor, even if he does not kill you because of your flesh and blood, he will definitely drive you out of Dadu, then how will you avenge your mother and concubine?"

Zhan Jin tightened her fingers and said slowly, "What do you want me to do?"

"Could Xiansheng wear a fake one like you...?"

"Don't be obsessed with ghosts anymore. Uncle Xiao Huang said she is a woman, not to mention that the crown prince and her are both married. Could it be that he can't tell if it's a man or a woman?"

Qing Rong lowered her eyes, in fact, she also knew in her heart that this was unlikely, if there was no Zhan Jin beside her, she would not have thought so much, maybe because she hated Xian Sheng too much, so she always hoped that he could make some mistakes.

She threw this idea out of her mind, and said: "Your Majesty announced the crown prince today, and he will definitely ask Qin Yi about the progress of the matter. I have a way, maybe I can lure him out."

"Qin Yi is not so easy to catch."

"Xiansheng is the best bait." Qing Rong ignored Zhanjin's complex expression, and said, "If your majesty asks, you can find an opportunity to use Xiansheng as bait, and Qin Yi will definitely come out."

Her eyes were burning, but Zhan Jin remained silent. At this moment, Jiang Qin's voice suddenly came: "See Your Highness the Prince!"

Zhan Zhen was also very surprised by his shout, "What are you doing so loudly?"

After he finished speaking, he found Jiang Qin signaling, so he turned his head to look, Qingrong and Zhanjin were saluting this way, he raised his brows slightly, and said, "Hurry up and see Father."

He stepped forward, Jiang Qin followed up first, and Zhan Jin immediately trotted after him.

Emperor Jin was trying out arrows, and when he heard someone informed, he put down his bow and arrows, wiped his hands, and said: "The arrows shot this time are still not good, we still need better weapons, which can also be used by ordinary soldiers. A powerful weapon."

He sat firmly, didn't exchange pleasantries, and asked Zhan Zhen directly: "The one you made last time, the pistol, how did you change it?"

"The range is too short, it's not enough."

They chatted casually, and Emperor Jin's eyes fell on Zhan Jin, a little surprised: "A Jin is so tall, how is he under Jiang Qin? Can he adapt?"

"Father Lao misses you, everything is fine."

Emperor Jin also asked Jiang Qin a few words, and when he heard him praise Zhanjin, he laughed out loud, with pride on his face, Zhanjin saw it, and couldn't help but slightly raised his lips, a little happy.

The topic quickly turned to the matter of Qin Lou yesterday, his expression became a little more serious, and he asked Zhan Zhen, "Is Qin Yi and Xian Sheng related?"

"No." Zhan Zhen didn't hesitate: "She doesn't leave the door and doesn't leave the door. She has no chance to get in touch with this matter."

"Where are the two Liang men in her hand?"

"The people they came into contact with have also been investigated. Most of them are people from the mansion. They are innocent, and Xiansheng doesn't care about these things. She went to Qinlou yesterday... because Erchen used to hang around Hualou, she It tastes good."

Emperor Jin's expression softened, and he laughed again: "Forget it, she is also a smart child, if she can understand clearly, she will be a good wife in the future... You have such a beautiful wife in your arms, why bother to run to such a place? "

"Qin Lou is mixed with fish and dragons, and my minister is also here to deal with business."

"About arresting Qin Yi, what's your best idea?"

Zhan Jin's eyelashes trembled, and Emperor Jin immediately asked, "Ah Jin, do you have something to say?"

"No..." Zhan Jin weighed it for a while and said, "I have nothing to do."

"Where's Jiang Qin?"

Jiang Qin cupped his hands and said: "We have discussed the best way, Qin Yi is too cautious, unless he uses the Crown Princess as bait, he will never act rashly, but this matter is too dangerous, the Crown Prince has already vetoed it."

Emperor Jin looked at Zhan Zhen, wanting to say something, thinking of his daughter-in-law's flowery face, and if the protection is not effective, it might hurt the face of the royal family, and suddenly understood.He sighed, asked some questions about the military camp, chatted intermittently about the family, and then let them leave.

Zhan Zhen and Jiang Qin walked in front, and said to Zhan Jin: "When you come to the palace, go and see your mother."

"En." Zhan Jin agreed, bowed his head and left, Zhan Zhen watched his back disappear, and asked Jiang Qin, "What's different about her being by your side?"

"Ah?" Jiang Qin recalled it for a while, and asked doubtfully, "What could be different?"

"It's a little strange to see her alone."

"She's your sister, how can you say that?"

Zhan Zhen ordered: "Let her come to the Prince's Mansion in the afternoon, and just say that I have something to look for him."

Jiang Qin paused, frowned, and said softly, "What happened?"

"Since you haven't noticed anything unusual, what are you worried about?"

Zhan Zhen looked over indifferently, and Jiang Qin instantly felt as if he had become a transparent person, and hurriedly said honestly: "It's true that there is something strange, but I can't tell... I just thought, if it doesn't hurt anything, it's better to let her go, who can do nothing?" difficult."

"Indulging is not necessarily for her good."

He was noncommittal, Jiang Qin was a little anxious: "If the princess concubine hides some innocuous things from you, do you want to get to the bottom of it?"

Zhan Zhen stopped, his eyes turned dark, Jiang Qin continued: "If she has no bad intentions, if she has no choice, if she is also full of grievances, do you want to be so aggressive?"

"Do you dare to say that Gu is aggressive?"

"...I'm just giving an example." Jiang Qin said: "Take her as a princess, will you still be so persistent in pursuing her secrets?"

Zhan Zhen stroked his chest subconsciously. The hairpin was lying in his arms now. He touched the lines on it many times, and he could remember its appearance without looking at it. loosened down and poured over the entire pillow.

He has always thought that Xiansheng has an elegant temperament, and it goes well with jade when not wearing makeup. Of course, if makeup is on, it is rare in the world to match it with gold, silver and jewelry.

In his heart, the hairpin is a token of love, and he was always happy to see it at first, but recently, he suddenly dared not look at it.

"Your Highness?" Jiang Qin peeped something from his expression, and asked tentatively, "Is there anything strange about the Crown Princess?"

Zhan Zhen said coldly: "She can learn from the sun and the moon for Gu's heart, and because of jealousy, she put herself in danger, and diligently seeks Gu's favor. If it is different, it is too clingy. I always hope that Gu will only spoil her. But it's normal for women to be extravagant, so what's so strange about it?"

"Oh." Jiang Qin didn't believe a radical, and nodded in agreement: "Your Highness is right."
