The Indifferent Prince's Substitute

Lin Yan came to her senses at this moment, before she had time to think, she turned around and threw herself on the bed.

As soon as the door opened, a small figure rushed over and hugged his leg.Rong Yuan was already used to it, bent down and lifted the little prince and handed it to the maid behind him, looked up into the room, and saw Lin Yan laying motionless on the bed, covered tightly by the quilt.

Rong Yuan stepped in, walked to the bed and stood still: "What's wrong with you? Why did you run back before finishing your meal?"

The people under him came back from the northwest and were reporting to him the military situation in the northwest in the study.He had just finished listening to the report when he heard from Zhang Bo that Lin Yan had eaten half of his meal, and for some reason suddenly ran back to the room.

"Hmm...my head hurts a bit." Lin Yanweng's voice came out from under the quilt.

"Headache?" Rong Yuan frowned, "I'll send someone to ask the doctor to come and show you."

He turned around to leave, but Lin Yan quickly stopped him, "No! You don't need to call a doctor, this is an old problem, I'll just sleep and it will be fine."

"Let's ask a doctor to take a look." Rong Yuan disagreed, Lin Yan covered himself in the quilt and shouted wittily, "There is another way!"

Rong Yuan paused and asked, "What way?"

Lin Yan carefully tore off the quilt, only showing two eyes, looked at him and said, "Go and close the door first."

Rong Yuan walked to the door and closed the door according to his words.

"Blow out the candles again." Lin Yan said again as the room was lit with candle lamps, bright enough to see clearly.

Rong Yuan looked at him suspiciously, but followed his advice and went to the table and blew out the candles.

The room suddenly went dark.

"...Come here." In the darkness, Lin Yan felt a little more secure, and slightly pulled back some quilts, whispering to Rong Yuan.

Facing the direction he remembered just now, Rong Yuan walked to the bed.

"Turn around." Lin Yan's voice sounded again in the darkness.

Rong Yuan continued to turn around according to the words, just wondering what Lin Yan was going to do, when he heard a rustling sound from the bed, and then a warm body threw himself onto his back, a pair of soft arms came from She wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly.

"...I had a headache when I was a child, my mother just needs to carry me for a while and sleep with me for a while, and I'll be fine." In order to prevent Rong Yuan from calling for a doctor, Lin Yan lay on his back and lied cheekily.

Rong Yuan was stiff all over, Lin Yan leaned against his ear and whispered softly: "Can you sleep with me for a while?"

Rong Yuan's ears were hot, Lin Yan pulled him lightly, and he lay face down on the bed.

"Just sleep with me for a while, and it will be fine in a while." Lin Yan leaned on his back and promised softly, in order to prevent him from turning around, he groped in the dark and reached out to grab his palm.

Lin Yan was quite hearty, pulled the quilt to cover the two of them, leaned on Rong Yuan's broad and strong back, and fell asleep unknowingly.

In the dark night, Rong Yuan lay motionless on the bed with his eyes open, behind him was the sound of Lin Yan's steady and shallow breathing, and his palm was held.After a long while, he let go of Lin Yan's hand, turned around and touched Lin Yan's forehead lightly. He lowered his head and saw that he was sleeping peacefully, so he was relieved. He looked down at Lin Yan in the dark for a moment, and then closed his eyes.

The next day Lin Yan got up from the bed and stretched, then suddenly remembered what happened last night, jumped out of bed without even wearing shoes, ran to the mirror, and was relieved to see that the little flower on her head was gone.

Hey, by the way, when did Rong Yuan leave last night?Lin Yan suddenly became worried again, probably he didn't see it.

During breakfast, the little prince was sitting opposite Lin Yan, and Qiu Yun was feeding him egg custard, the little prince ate deliciously every bite, and he didn't feel at all that he did something wrong last night.

"Give it to me, I'll feed him." Lin Yan put down the chopsticks, reached out to pat the side, let Qiuyun hug the little prince, and then took the spoon.

"You go out first, I'll call you when you're done eating." Lin Yan told Qiu Yun to wait for Qiu Yun to go out, scooped up a spoonful of custard, blew it, and fed it to the little prince's mouth.

The little prince opened his mouth wide, Lin Yan removed the spoon, and said in a low voice with a stern face, "From now on, you are not allowed to open the door casually like last night, and you are not allowed to show flowers in front of others. If flowers appear on your head, you must hide them. Let people see, do you hear?"

The little prince nodded ignorantly, grabbed Lin Yan's wrist with his small hands, pouted his small body and moved towards the spoon.

"Did you make a mistake last night?" Lin Yan asked again.

There was still no custard to eat, the little prince was a little anxious, he puffed out his cheeks and glanced at Lin Yan, his mouth was about to cry, Lin Yan was startled, afraid that he would call Zhao Nanny and Uncle Zhang, so he quickly stuffed the custard into it. into his mouth.

The little prince swallowed it in one gulp, stretched out his hand and patted Lin Yan's wrist urgently, pursed his lips and said, "More."

What a patriarch.Lin Yan resentfully stretched out her hand to scoop up another spoonful and fed it into his mouth.

After dinner, the little prince went to the yard to play with the little squirrel, the little squirrel flew in front, and the little prince stumbled after him.Qiuyun watched carefully from the side.

Lin Yan was sitting on the porch basking in the sun, and Mother Zhao was sitting beside him doing embroidery and chatting with him.

"With Concubine Li gone, Marquis Qiyuan's mansion is no longer so beautiful. The second lady wants to marry the son of Marquis Qiyuan, I'm afraid the master will not agree."

Lin Yan leaned on the recliner and snorted softly, he didn't care what happened to Lin Yao.

"Let's go back to see our mother in the afternoon." But when he thought of Lin Yao, he thought of Shen's in the prime minister's mansion, Lin Yan raised his head and said.

Don't worry about leaving the little prince alone, after lunch, Lin Yan took the little prince, Mammy Zhao and Qiuyun, and went to Xiangfu in a carriage.

When they arrived at Longcui Garden, Mrs. Shen was not there, the little maid in the courtyard said that Mrs. Shen had gone out to look at the shop.After about a stick of incense, Shen came back with Biyue.

Shen's complexion was better than before. She put on light makeup, wore jewelry on her hair, and wore new clothes, obviously well-dressed. The figure of Ping Ping Tingting walked into the room. Almost unrecognizable.

"Mother!" Lin Yan stood up from the chair to look at Shen, and exclaimed, "Mother is so pretty."

Shen smiled at him, saw the little prince playing with a wooden horse, and asked, "Is this the little prince?"

Lin Yan nodded, "Yes."

Shen bent down and reached out to touch the little prince's head, then pulled Lin Yan to sit down.

Lin Yan asked: "Mother, the maid said you went out to visit the shop, do you want to open the shop?"

"Well, those shops selling dried fruit and tea are not doing well. I sold all the shops, and together with Mrs. Taifu, I opened a new shop in Dongshi, and I plan to sell something else," Shen said.The shops in her hands were all dowry brought over in the past, because she was in poor health before, and had been hiring people to take care of them.The location is not good, and the people hired are not caring, so the business is very bleak.She sold several shops, spent some effort to get on the line with Mrs. Taifu, and the two started a business together.

Shen took a sip of tea and said, "I want to sell dim sum. I just went to learn some dim sum from the master today. Let me make it for you to try?"

Lin Yan nodded.Shen went into the house and changed into light clothes, and took Lin Yan to the kitchen.

Longcui Garden has its own small kitchen, but it is just a room, without a cook and ingredients, and usually it has to buy ingredients with its own money to cook whatever it wants.

Biyue and Qiuyun built a fire, Shen took flour and Mammy Zhao added water to knead the noodles, Lin Yan watched the little prince not to let him make trouble, and they chatted while making snacks.

Bi Yue said: "Master, don't go out on the streets recently. My wife and I heard people say that a family of three was killed in the West Market last night. It flowed all over the place, and the government searched the whole city for the murderer."

Mother Zhao sighed, "I haven't heard of such a tragedy in the capital for many years. God bless the murderer to be caught soon."

Shen changed the topic and asked about Lin Yan's affairs in the palace.After the dough was kneaded, Shen specially made the snacks for the little prince into shapes of rabbits and hedgehogs.Put it in the pot to steam and take it out, the little prince stared at it without blinking his eyes, held it in his hand regardless of the heat, and ate it while playing, he couldn't put it down.

When he left the Xiangfu, the sun had already set.Seeing that the little prince likes to eat, Shen made an extra basket of bunny snacks and asked Lin Yan to bring them back to the palace.

Lin Yan had already forgotten the tragedy I mentioned before. Who knew that Madam Zhao heard from the food delivery person in the kitchen the next day that another family was killed in the West Market last night. They were also missing arms and legs. Limbs were scattered all over the place, and the scene was bloody and frightening.

"Master, we still don't go out these few days." On the way to the front yard of the palace, Qiu Yun rubbed the frightened hair on his body and said to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan nodded in agreement. With two such brutal cases in succession, it's better not to walk around outside.He went out today to show the weasel spirit the few treasures left to him by the carp demon.He knows little, but the weasel spirit is well-informed, and he wants the weasel spirit to see what treasures they are.

The little prince asked him to stay in the mansion, with Little Huang Que and Zhao Mama watching, he only took Qiu Yun out.

When he walked to the door, he met Rong Yuan who was about to mount his horse and also wanted to go out.

Seeing Lin Yan, Rong Yuan took hold of the horse rope and asked, "Where are you going?"

Lin Yan said: "A friend's house."

"I'll take you there." Rong Yuan handed the horse rope to the guard behind him, and got into the carriage with Lin Yan.Behind him, the guard led the horse and followed beside the carriage.

The carriage drove towards the Huang's noodle restaurant, Rong Yuan sat opposite Lin Yan and told him: "Don't go out these few days, there has been a murder in the city, it is very dangerous to go out."

Lin Yan hurriedly asked: "Is it the two cases in Xishi? I heard that they killed people again last night?"

"Yeah." Rong Yuan nodded with a serious expression, "The murderer hasn't been found yet. Although the city has stepped up patrols, it's better to be careful."

"Then don't go out." Thinking of the danger, Lin Yan hurriedly said.

Rong Yuan shook his head helplessly, "The emperor and the empress went to Linghua Temple yesterday, I am responsible for the security of the capital for the past few days, if such a big thing happened, I have to find the culprit."

Because of Concubine Li's matter, the emperor was terrified, and must go to live in the temple for a few days to drive away the evil spirit left by Concubine Li on him, and the queen went with him.Both of them are not in the palace now.

"Are you alone?" Lin Yan asked worriedly.

Rong Yuan said: "No, together with Dali Temple."

Not good.Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and told him, "Then you pay attention to safety."

Rong Yuan nodded, the carriage stopped in front of Huang's noodle shop, Rong Yuan glanced at the noodle shop outside, and asked, "When are you going back? I'll pick you up."

"Oh, I'm fine. Come back after you're done. I'll wait for you here." Lin Yan took Qiuyun out of the carriage, watched Rong Yuan take the rope from the guard, get on the horse and leave, before going in Noodle House.

It's not lunch time, there is no one in the noodle shop, Huang Da and Huang Xiaozhen are cleaning the tables and chairs in the lobby.Seeing Lin Yan coming in, the two rushed to meet him.

He used the old method to fascinate Qiu Yun, closed the door of the upper hall, and Huang Da took Lin Yan to the backyard.

"What happened in the palace two days ago? How did you attract the thunder?" Huang Da asked impatiently as soon as he entered the room.

After Lin Yan's previous visit, he immediately closed the noodle shop and took his sister to hide in a village on the outskirts of the capital.Two days ago, there was a sudden heavy rain, and there was continuous thunder in the sky. As he moved towards the direction of the palace, he knew something had happened in the palace.Sure enough, a few bolts of lightning struck down from behind.

Lin Yan briefly told about the carp monster, and Huang Da couldn't help but sigh after hearing it, "Emotions are really poisonous, and no monster can escape it, no matter how powerful it is."

"No wonder something bad came to the capital." Huang Xiaozhen said, "It turns out that the big monster in the palace died."

"Bad thing?" Lin Yan looked at her suspiciously.

Huang Xiaozhen said: "It's also a monster, but unlike us, they are all good monsters, live in harmony with humans, and never eat people. Those bad monsters, who have been suppressed in the abyss for hundreds of thousands of years, like to eat people the most. They are real monsters." monster."

Huang Da continued: "In the past ten years or so, the abyss has loosened the talisman, and all the bad things have come out. In the past, there were big monsters and dragon spirits, but those bad things didn't dare to come to the capital. Now that the big monsters have died, the emperor's dragon spirit is now Too weak, so I ran to the capital."

He paused for a moment, then said puzzledly: "But the strange thing is that those bad things went to other places to eat people before, and they all acted secretly and alone. They have never made such a big commotion. I don't know what happened this time. A swarm of bees has come."

Lin Yan's heart skipped a beat, remembering what the carp monster said to him, those things came for the little prince.

"What do you mean by the movement you just said? It refers to... the two cases in the West Market in the past two days?" Lin Yan asked quickly with a bad feeling.

"Yeah." Huang Da nodded, "When the officials were collecting the corpses, I sneaked to look at them. The corpses of that family were clearly eaten. And judging by the degree of the bites, there was more than one bad thing."

Oops, the murderer turned out to be a demon, would the benefactor be in danger?Lin Yan couldn't help feeling worried for Rong Yuan.

Lin Yan was worried about Rong Yuan, and absent-mindedly showed Huang Da the treasure left by the carp demon, but Huang Da didn't see why, so he had to put it away again, went to the front lobby to wake Qiu Yun up, and waited for Rong Yuan to pick it up he.

Rong Yuan didn't come until it was dark.Seeing that he was safe and sound, Lin Yan let go of his uneasy heart, got into the carriage, and asked him about the investigation of the case.

"No clues were found." Rong Yuan frowned, the victim's house was in a mess, no useful clues were found, the neighbors, relatives and friends also checked, and there was no suspicion.

Lin Yan pinched her fingers uneasily, those bad things will not harm people again tonight, will they?

The small door at the back of the Beiling Palace was open, and a donkey cart was parked beside it.A middle-aged man was moving bags of goods from the donkey cart into the kitchen of the house.

"Uncle Zhu, I'm going to trouble you at this late hour. This is wages, take it quickly." The last bag of goods was moved into the kitchen, and the boy in charge of the kitchen goods, Wan Quan, thanked him with a smile, and handed him a bunch of goods. coins.

The middle-aged man smiled honestly, patted the dust off his body, took the copper coins, said goodbye to Wan Quan, and drove away in the donkey cart.

Wan Quan went in and closed the small door.

As soon as the small door was closed, the middle-aged man jumped off the donkey cart, turned towards the palace, and took a deep breath greedily.

Fragrant, really fragrant, right here.The middle-aged man's eyes were red, his face was frenzied and distorted, a wisp of black smoke overflowed from his eyes and nasal cavity, drifted over the wall, and entered the palace.
