unprepared

But Shen Kuang was not so lucky. He was wearing white clothes today, and this black claw was quite eye-catching and joyful.

His Highness the Sixth Highness's personnel affairs had nothing to do with him, but he was not counted as being suspended, yet he still couldn't hold back his laughter.

Shen Kuang's face became even darker, and just as he was about to get angry, he saw the person who had slapped him with a face of self-blame: "Look at me, I forgot that I still had ink on my hand, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry."

"You..." You did it on purpose, Shen Kuang's eyes were red with anger, and he was about to grab his collar.

Su Huai was one step ahead of him, and pulled Yan Chen behind him with one arm, squinting at Shen Kuang: "I've already apologized to you, what else do you want?"

"Okay, isn't that embarrassing enough?" The speaker was the Third Highness Yan Mingli.

Yan Mingli is twenty-five this year, he has been out of the palace for five years, and he no longer needs to come to the Hall of Qinde to study, but this person still comes to the Hall of Qinde on a regular basis when he is not involved in political affairs in order to do what Emperor Cheng likes.

Speaking of which, the third highness is also unlucky. He has not obtained any titles since he left the palace to build a mansion five years ago. A few days ago, Emperor Cheng wanted to make him a king, but Xu Yong's incident happened, and the matter of being a king was put on hold.

Now he almost hated Yan Zhizhou to death, and of course he hated the real murderer who poisoned Xu Yong even more.

Everyone returned to their respective positions, Yan Zhizhou looked ahead and moved his lips: "Who said just now what kind of a kid he is?"

"..." Su Huai choked, and held back for a long time before saying, "I'm not protecting him, I'm protecting the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion, your face."

"Thank you so much." Yan Zhizhou still didn't look at him, with a face of "whatever you say, I only believe what I see".

Su Huai ground his molars, feeling aggrieved for no reason, and even a little self-hatred. Why did he want to stand up for that guy just now?

After thinking for a long time, he finally found a reasonable explanation for himself. Yan Chen was brought by him. If someone else slaps Yan Chen in the face, he slaps himself in the face. He can bully his people, but others dare to move a finger. It's just making life difficult for myself.

After leaving the palace in the evening, Su Huai did not order to go back to the prime minister's mansion, but brought Yan Chen to a barbecue stand.

Yan Chen looked at the sky: "Aren't we going back?"

"What do you eat?" Su Huai's gaze was fixed on those grilled meat skewers that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

This is a special snack for foreigners. The owner is a middle-aged fat man with dark eyes and a straight nose and brown curly hair. He speaks not-so-fluent Chinese.

"Same as you." Yan Chen also took a look at those meat skewers, they were indeed very tempting, but he had never eaten them and didn't know how to order them.

"Jian Zhu, what do you eat?" Su Huai asked again.

"I don't eat it." Jian Zhu said, since he had diarrhea once after eating meat, he never patronized the meat skewers again.

"Okay, then go ahead and eat scallion oil noodles." Su Huai ignored him and said to the boss, "Ten skewers of mutton, ten skewers of wings, ten skewers of crispy bones, and four more roasted buns."

"Okay, wait a moment, both of you." The boss responded loudly.

Yan Chen followed Su Huai and sat down at a small table beside him, watching the boss pick up a bunch of things and roast them on the iron rack.

"Is it too much?"

Su Huai glanced at him: "If you don't have enough food for a while, don't beg me to buy it for you."

What he said was not exaggerating at all, Yan Chen took two extra skewers of Su Huai's wings and three skewers of crispy bones at the end of the meal without noticing.

Su Huai looked at the iron stick in his hand, wanted to say something but didn't have the nerve to speak.

Forget it, he doesn't care about this bumpkin.

After eating to his satisfaction, Yan Chen was still thinking about the delicious food just now, and had already walked to the door of Zuiyan Building with someone before he knew it.

The sound of warblers and swallows in his ear drew his attention back, and he saw a few girls at the door wearing thin clothes and gauze, and when they stopped, they came up and leaned on people.

"It's Mr. Su, do you want to go in and sit down?"

Just as Yan Chen wanted to hold him back, the person in front reached out and grabbed the girl's shoulders and strode in: "Let's go, let me go and see both of you."

"You know Shuangshuang, I really don't know what ecstasy drug she gave you..."

"..."

Looking at the situation in front of him, Yan Chen didn't know whether to advance or retreat, but when he thought that this man was surrounded by a bunch of fat and thin women, he didn't feel depressed for a while.

Gritting his teeth, he followed in.

The frolic and laughter inside failed to attract Yan Chen's attention. He stared at Su Huai's back without squinting, followed him up to the second floor, and entered a wing room called 'Cui Cui Pavilion'.

"Yo, Mr. Su is here." The people inside saw Su Huai and got up to greet him.

What first attracted Yan Chen was the girl's voice, which was so clear and elegant but with an indescribable charm, and then he raised his eyes... He dared to say that he had never seen such a beautiful girl in the past 18 years , especially those eyes, the tails of which are slightly raised, charming but not vulgar.

"This is probably Mr. Yan!" The girl named Shuang Shuang looked at him with her mouth raised.

Yan Shen regained consciousness suddenly, Fang felt that he was really rude, and hurriedly bowed his hands to apologize.

"Okay, don't scare the children." Su Huai clicked his tongue, turned around and pushed behind Yan Chen, "Go in."

Yan Chen walked around the screen, only then did he realize that Su Huai's visit to Zuiyan Tower today was not a whim.

At this moment, there are already two people sitting inside, one is Yan Zhizhou, and the other is his bodyguard Wang Xiao.

Seeing that he wanted to salute, Yan Zhizhou said first: "You don't need to do these empty salutes outside, come and sit down."

"Yes." Yan Chen was not polite, and sat opposite Yan Zhizhou, just next to Wang Xiao.

At this moment, he finally believed what Su Huai said before, that he really didn't come to Zuiyanlou to have fun.

After Su Huai was seated, Miss Shuangshuang played the piano outside the screen, and the melodious sound of the piano was somewhat charming.

Since Yan Chen sat down, Wang Xiao's eyes never left him, scanning from head to toe, his eyes were three points angry and seven points unwilling.

"Have you seen enough? Those who don't know think you've fallen in love with him." It wasn't Yan Chen who couldn't hold back but Su Huai.

"What's the matter, the people in your family are so precious, I'll see if there's no shortage of meat." Wang said with a smile.

Yan Zhizhou shook his head and didn't speak, but Yan Chen said to Wang with a smile: "I'm sorry."

"what?"

Not to mention that Wang laughed, even Su Huai and Yan Zhizhou were a little confused, but Yan Zhizhou was faintly excited. He admired Yan Chen, but he also hoped that he really deserved his appreciation.

Yan Chen: "You were injured in the academy yesterday."

Now everyone is quiet, only the sound of the piano can be heard like weeping and complaining.

At that moment, all three of them came back to their senses, but each of them had different thoughts in their hearts.

Wang Xiao, I, Shuo Jing's disguise No. 1, was spotted by this boy who just arrived, so angry.

Su Huai, it turns out that Yan Zhizhou was the one who plotted the assassin yesterday, but he was still kept in the dark, so angry.

Yan Zhizhou, sure enough, my vision is right, I am so happy.

"I pretended so well, how did you know that the assassin was me." Wang Xiao was the first to ask without holding back.

Yan Chen: "You can take off the trigger on your hand when you are pretending next time."

Wang Xiao glanced at his hands, then at Yan Zhizhou's eyes, and silently lowered his head.

"How can you be sure that I ordered his assassination yesterday? What if he is a spy sent by someone else?" Yan Zhizhou asked slowly, taking a sip of tea.

"No, with His Highness's intelligence and prudence, if he was a spy, you would never keep him by your side for so long." Yan Chen said, "Once you find out, he will become your stepping stone, just like Xu Yong."

"Xu Yong, what does this have to do with Xu Yong?" Su Huai frowned and asked, he realized that the so-called truth might not be as simple as he imagined.

Yan Chen closed his mouth and stopped talking, while Wang Xiao avoided Su Huai's gaze and kept eating the snack in front of him.

"Yan Zhizhou, how much did you hide from me?" Su Huai was really angry, as he could tell from the fact that he called Yan Zhizhou by his first and last name.

His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince knew that he was wrong, so he had to tell Yan Chen: "You tell him. I just want to know that you don't know Xu Yong at all, so how do you know this?"

"Guess." Yan Chen said.

"You are too hasty!" Wang smiled and tutted.

"If my guess is correct, Xu Yong should be the eyeliner placed by your side by His Highness the Third Highness. Perhaps it is because he has been with you for a long time that you have only now figured out his identity, and then planned a poisonous killing case, in this way, not only solved the secret work around him calmly, but also put a charge on His Highness, although the charge has not been proven." Yan Chen's tone was flat, as if he was evaluating whether the dim sum tonight was good or not Eat the same.

"Xu Yong... is he really from the Third Highness?" Su Huai looked at Yan Zhizhou in disbelief.

The latter finally nodded: "I didn't tell you about this, just because I was afraid that you would not be able to accept it after you knew it. After all, the three of us grew up together, and you have such a good relationship with him."

"He..." Su Huai slowly digested the news.

That day, His Highness the Third Highness sent someone to deliver crab cream porridge to each palace. Originally, he just wanted to show his love for his brothers and sisters, but Yan Zhizhou said that he couldn’t eat too much breakfast, so he gave it to him as a gift. To Xu Yong.

At that time, Su Huai was fighting with Xu Yong, after all, he really didn't eat that morning.

At that time, Yan Zhizhou was still sneering at himself, saying that he was like a girl, and he was going to compete for favor. At that time, he was so angry that he just threw up his sleeves and left.

So, did he have ulterior motives?

"You poisoned Xu Yong yourself, didn't you?" After almost a cup of tea, Su Huai finally found his own voice.

"Yes." Yan Zhizhou said.

Su Huai closed his eyes, Xu Yong is a spy, there is nothing to sympathize with in such a fate, but after all, he is someone he has been with day and night for ten years, so it is somewhat embarrassing.

"I said you are not as good as him, this time you believe it!" Yan Zhizhou changed the subject.

Su Huai?

Fuck, if you say this in front of so many people, I don't want to lose face?
