The prince is hard to serve

After returning to the Prince's Mansion from the market, the blush on Mu Ziling's face hadn't completely faded, and occasionally when he looked at Yan Wenhao, he would take the lead to look away and dodge.

Although it took a lot of time on the way back home, he still felt very uncomfortable and embarrassed at this moment. This was the first time he had such intimate contact with a person.

Yan Wenhao didn't force him to get used to it quickly, but kept smiling in a good mood, with the corners of his mouth uncontrollably raised.

Knowing that the two masters had returned, Fuquan immediately stopped his work and rushed out to greet them. When he saw them, he respectfully smiled and said, "Your Highness, Imperial Concubine, you are back."

Yan Wenhao nodded with a smile, and responded happily.

Hearing the unconcealable smile in his tone, Fuquan couldn't help but raised his head curiously, looked at Yan Wenhao, and then quickly lowered his head. Although he was very curious about why his master was in such a good mood, but Due to his status, he didn't dare to ask easily.

Turning to the side, Fu Quan bowed and let Mu Ziling and Yan Wenhao enter the door first, and then walked a short distance behind them with Duo Yuan, but he just took a few steps when he realized that there was one Ah Lin looked around again, but after seeing no one, he immediately turned his head and asked Duo Duo, "Where is Ah Lin?"

Ah Lin is now considered a member of their mansion, and he doesn't need to go back to Mu's mansion. He has not returned yet, so he is worried that something happened.

Duo Duo shook his head, and replied in a low voice: "A Lin walked with General Xie, I don't know where he is, we got separated."

Their voices were not too low, and Yan Wenhao and Mu Ziling hadn't gone far, so they could hear them clearly.Hearing Fuquan mention A Lin, Mu Ziling finally recovered from the kiss just now and remembered A Lin.

Stopping in his tracks, he turned to look at Duo Yuan and asked, "Ah Lin hasn't come back yet?"

"Yes."

Bowing down, Duo Duo thought for a while, and then explained respectfully: "When we were at the night market earlier, General Xie asked the servant to follow you and His Highness first, but he took Ah Lin to go in the opposite direction. Afterwards, the servant never followed me. Having seen them, I think General Xie probably took Ah Lin to play elsewhere."

Frowning, Mu Ziling was about to tell Fuquan to let someone search for it, but Yan Wenhao spoke first, comforting him: "Don't worry about being modest, Jing Yu will take good care of Ah Lin." As he said that, he took Mu Ziling's hand again, patted the back of his hand lightly, and said with a light smile, "I think Jing Yu's playfulness has gone wrong, and he took Ah Lin to play around, and when they've had enough fun, Will come back of course."

As soon as his words fell, Xie Jingyu came back with Ah Lin, the two seemed to be having a good time, they walked into the mansion together talking and laughing.

Hearing the sound, Mu Ziling immediately looked over, only to see that Ah Lin was holding two lanterns in each of his hands, in various shapes, his big round eyes were almost gone when he smiled, and the person beside him was holding two lanterns. Xie Jingyu also had a lot of things in his hands, but most of them were pens, inks, papers and inkstones. Right now, he was bowing his head, smiling and listening to Ah Lin's words, with a very gentle expression on his face.

"A Lin." Mu Ziling called him, and drew his attention to himself.

Hearing this, Ah Lin immediately raised his head, saw Mu Ziling and Yan Wenhao, and then looked at their holding hands. He couldn't help but think of the scene he saw just now, and felt a little awkward in his heart. He saluted in a low voice. : "My lord, Your Highness."

Although he was very happy that the son had found a partner who could accompany him for life and got along well, but the other party was Yan Wenhao, which inevitably reminded him of what happened when the son first entered the palace, and he felt a little depressed.

Seeing Ah Lin's appearance, Mu Ziling was puzzled, and his face showed a bit of puzzlement: "A Lin?"

Throwing all the pens, ink, papers and inkstones in his hands into the hands of an attendant, Xie Jingyu opened the folding fan again. Xie Jingyu glanced at Mu Ziling and Yan Wenhao, took the conversation with a smile, and said, "You guys came back so early."

His tone was full of teasing and ridicule, he could see that his junior brother was in a very good mood.

Yan Wenhao also grew up with Xie Jingyu, so he naturally knew him very well. Now that he heard his words and saw the uncontrollable smile in his eyes, he probably guessed that they saw the previous scene, Raising his eyebrows, he clenched Mu Ziling's hand, and couldn't help but tilt his head, looking at the young man standing beside him, his eyes were full of indelible tenderness.

Mu Ziling was still very puzzled by Ah Lin's reaction, so he didn't pay attention to Xie Jingyu's words, but Yan Wenhao would not tell him the truth frankly, lest he would feel even more uncomfortable.

He didn't want to make trouble for himself.

Withdrawing his gaze, Yan Wenhao looked at Xie Jingyu again, and asked aloud, "Where did you go, and why did you come back so late?"

Xie Jingyu narrowed his eyes, and replied with a smile: "I was going to come back a long time ago, but then I ran into a competition jointly organized by the four major studies in the capital. The bosses of the studies are quite generous. If you win the No. 1. Not only a pair of Wang Xizhi's authentic works and a calligraphy of Master Mu, but also a whole year's supply of the Four Treasures of the Study. I thought it was interesting, and then I remembered that I was going to ask for a bargain before I gave you a wedding gift, so I pulled A Lin Go and compete with people."

As he said that, he pointed to the pile of pens, ink, papers and inkstones held in the hands of the attendants at the side, and said with a smile: "These are the gifts you won."

Turning his gaze to Mu Ziling, Xie Jingyu looked at it for a while, then shook his folding fan lightly and said, "The four treasures of the study are all provided by Mofangzhai. Ah Lin said, you love the brushes and inks of this house the most. As for the authentic painting by Wang Xizhi, I will also give it to you as a wedding gift, but I think you have a lot of Master Tiemu's calligraphy, so I brought it back myself."

Nodding his head slightly, Mu Ziling thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, if the general likes father's handwriting, I will ask Ah Lin to give you some more pictures someday."

Xie Jingyu said: "That's it, thank you very much."

Standing aside, Yan Wenhao grabbed Mu Ziling's hand, smiled at him, and gave Xie Jingyu a thankful look.

It just so happened that the Four Treasures of the Study hadn't been prepared in the house yet, so Xie Jingyu's gift was very timely.

Instructed the attendants to send them all into the study, and wait for Fuquan to clean them up tomorrow, after which Yan Wenhao restrained his expression, remained silent for a while, and said to Xie Jingyu: "There is one thing that you may need to send someone to investigate Fan, let's go into the house and talk."

Seeing Yan Wenhao's solemn appearance, Xie Jingyu knew that there was something serious to do, so he put away his usual sloppiness and followed their steps into the main hall.

Although Ah Lin occasionally escaped, he still knew the importance of the scene and the atmosphere and knew how to avoid it, so he followed Duo Duo and Fu Quan and waited outside the door together, not daring to go in and disturb him.

Inside the main hall.

Holding Mu Ziling's hand and sitting down, Yan Wenhao kept a straight face and was silent for a long time before saying coldly: "Today in the night market, I accidentally rescued a child, and then I found his mother was holding a 13 I want you to help me check the wallet that was uniformly distributed to the maids in the palace a few years ago, whether she was the maid who left the palace that year, and whether it has anything to do with the death of the concubine mother?"

Although Concubine Liang and Prince Huai's two masterminds who murdered his mother are dead, if he still has an accomplice who was arrested, he will not let it go.

When Mu Ziling heard what he said, he was very surprised at first. He hadn't noticed Yan Wenhao's emotional change before, and then he felt pain in his heart and blamed himself. He pursed his lips and patted Yan Wenhao's cheek lightly. hand, his eyes were full of pity for him: "Sorry, I..." He was in shock at the time.

Yan Wenhao raised his lips to him, shook his head and smiled softly, and stopped his next words: "Humble, you don't need to apologize to me." If Mu Ziling wasn't by his side at that time, I'm afraid he would I can't contain my emotions either.

Looking up at them, Xie Jingyu interjected and asked, "What are the characteristics of the mother and son?" No wonder he had searched for a long time before and could not find a single person. They were hidden in the most dangerous capital city. He ignored it.

After pondering for a while, Yan Wenhao said, "I can draw a portrait for you." Although it was night, the streets tonight were all brightly lit, and he could see the faces of the two of them very clearly. .

Xie Jingyu nodded when he heard the words, and promised: "Okay, then when you finish painting, send someone to me, and I will let someone investigate carefully." With the previous battle against King Huai , Now that the two of them meet each other, there is no need to avoid taboos like before.

"En." In response, Yan Wenhao thanked Xie Jingyu again.

Xie Jingyu waved his hand, and said indifferently: "You and I are brothers, why should we be grateful for such a small matter."

After explaining this matter, after a long silence, Yan Wenhao talked to Xie Jingyu about the young man in Chinese clothes and the Hun warrior he met tonight, and also expressed his worries.

After listening to the words, Xie Jingyu pondered for a while, frowned and said, "According to your description, I may know who these are." Unlike Yan Wenhao, he lived in a mansion outside the palace, and he loved a People go to restaurants to drink alone, and what they hear are the discussions of some common people after dinner, and there are often some news.

Don't underestimate the restaurants and teahouses, it is the gathering place of the three religions and nine streams, some businessmen, traffickers and pawns who often come and go will always pass some news, and the common people love to talk about it after dinner, often as long as there is someone With a few signs of trouble, they will be able to hear and talk about it.

Although the news from them is already distorted and exaggerated, but if the source is traced in detail, some news is still extremely accurate.

Hearing this, Yan Wenhao asked him, "Who are they?"

Xie Jingyu replied with a sullen face, "If I'm not mistaken, the young man you mentioned as the leader is probably the most favored second son of Shi Buyuan, the commander in chief of Jiangnan, Shi Shaoling, and the strong Huns beside him are him. bodyguard, Bu Nuo."

"It's them?"

Yan Wenhao frowned, remained silent for a while, and said, "They are coming to Beijing at this time, but they are here to celebrate the third brother's birthday?"

"It should be."

Xie Jingyu said solemnly, "This stone step was originally Concubine De Gui's uncle. He must have come to congratulate the third prince's birthday. Besides, Concubine De Gui is extremely favored now, and he himself is a very ambitious person. Now the third prince is here The court has already won most of the ministers, and he is the most favorable candidate for the future crown prince and prince of the Eastern Palace, so according to his mind, he must come here to curry favor."

Stopping to take a sip of tea, Xie Jingyu thought for a moment, and then said: "In the past, he would come to Beijing to congratulate the third prince in person, and he could make a relationship, so it was convenient. This time he didn't come in person, but The most beloved second son has been sent here, presumably there is something important to do, maybe it has something to do with His Majesty letting you and me go to Jiangnan."
