adults don't take the bait

It was getting late after the banquet, and Zhao Xin had already rested for a long time when Xu Shiyan returned to the mansion.

"Well, you're back?" Zhao Xin opened her eyes dimly, she knew that Xu Shiyan must have returned to the room.

Xu Shiyan came to the bed and gently kissed the Sleeping Beauty who was still in a daze, "Go to sleep, I'll go wash up." Zhao Xin smelled the alcohol on Xu Shiyan's body, "Have you been drinking?"

"I drank a little, all adults, I am too embarrassed not to drink." In the officialdom, many things are involuntary, but this is much better than Yuwenxi.

After a while, Xu Shiyan finished washing up and went to bed, Zhao Xin naturally approached Xu Shiyan's arms. "Did I wake you up just now?" Xu Shiyan asked, stroking Zhao Xin's back.

"No," Zhao Xin said in her arms.

"It's hard for you, even though you are a woman, you still have to deal with official affairs." Zhao Xin felt sorry for Xu Shiyan, and she knew that Xu Shiyan had a lot of things to do as a last resort.

"There is no such thing as suffering, let alone if I don't become an official, how can I support you, my dear wife." Xu Shiyan laughed.

Zhao Xin was right after thinking about it, even a person like Xu Shiyan can only be an official and a profiteer.

"What did you do today, take Hui'er out to play." Xu Shiyan asked.

"Speaking of going out, guess who I met today?" Zhao Xin asked with a smile.

Xu Shiyan frowned and thought, "Could it be your master, but it doesn't look like it either."

"If you meet Master, do you think I can still be in front of you now?" Zhao Xin pinched Xu Shiyan's nose.Xu Shiyan grabbed her hand and put it under the blanket "It's cold outside" to cover her tightly.

"It's the Princess Rui you mentioned last time." Zhao Xin told Xu Shiyan everything that happened on the street today, and Xu Shiyan laughed when he heard it, "Fortunately, what you met is the kind princess. If you meet someone else, I'm afraid." You are not so lucky, you have to be careful when you go out to play in the future." Xu Shiyan said.

"What are you afraid of? Just leave Xuanyang and Xuanwu to me." Zhao Xin laughed.

"Okay." Xu Shiyan kissed the tip of her nose, "Why is it so cold?" He reached out and hugged her again.

"No one will keep me warm if you are not by my side." Zhao Xin said it as a matter of course.

Zhao Xin clung to Xu Shiyan, Xu Shiyan hugged her and felt very happy at the moment.

The two of them were already used to such a comfortable life now, especially Zhao Xin, who had never felt the warmth before, which was given to her by Xu Shiyan.

But such a comfortable life will soon be disturbed, this is a sudden change that neither Xu Shiyan nor Zhao Xin would have thought of.

The brutality of the Suzhou prefect aroused public outrage, and the emperor was furious when he heard that he sent Xu Shiyan to investigate the matter.It will take 7 days to go back and forth to Shuozhou this time, and Xu Shiyan will not be able to return within half a month after going this time.

Zhao Xin was packing her luggage in the room, "It's better to bring Xuanyang and Xuanwu with you." Xu Shiyan was afraid that the Lord of Qingyou Palace would sneak in during the days when he was away, so he decided to let Xuanyang and Xuanwu stay in the capital to protect Zhao Xinhe. The safety of the people in the house, but Zhao Xin felt that it was inappropriate.

"I'm just going to investigate the case. What's more, I have other guards. Wouldn't it be overkill for Xuanyang and Xuanwu to go with me? It's better for me to stay at home. You don't want me to be distracted, do you?" Xu Shiyan replied with a smile .

"But..." Zhao Xin always felt that something was wrong.

"It's okay, Xin'er, I'll be back in half a month. If you feel bored, you can go to the other courtyard to chat with our son-in-law. It is said that the princess has lifted her ban." Said Yu Wenxi, and she can talk to her and the princess when she comes back in half a month. wedding wine.

"Can I go with you?" Zhao Xin was still worried. Although her internal strength was damaged, she could still help Xu Shiyan when the time was right.

"Are you so reluctant to part with me?" Xu Shiyan smiled and held Zhao Xin in his arms. "I'll be back soon. This time I'm on business and can't bring my family."

How could Xu Shiyan be willing to do so.

On the third day after Xu Shiyan left, someone came to the mansion. Of course, this person was Yu Wenxi, our son-in-law who Xu Shiyan mentioned earlier, who had just been lifted from the ban.

"Sister Xin'er" Yu Wenxi was led by the housekeeper to the backyard, where Xiner was playing with Huier.

Zhao Xin raised her head, "Xi'er is here, oh, it shouldn't be the son-in-law."

"Is sister Xiner making fun of me too?" Yu Wenxi pouted.

Yu Wenxi looked at the little man beside Zhao Xin and asked in puzzlement, "This is it?" Could it be Xu Shiyan and Zhao Xin's child, even the child was born and Xu Shiyan has not married Zhao Xin yet.

"This is the child Shiyan and I adopted in the capital." Zhao Xin explained.

"Oh" Yu Wenxi nodded understandingly.

"Why is Xi'er free to come today? You will marry the princess in half a month." Zhao Xin asked Hui'er to play for a while by herself, and she chose to sit down in the pavilion with Yu Wenxi.

"It is only when I get married that I can come out to play. Otherwise, the princess will definitely not allow me to run around after I get married, or she will say that I am not decent enough to damage the reputation of the royal family. In fact, I don't understand. Since she is afraid that I will damage the royal family. Why does reputation insist on marrying me?"

Apparently Yu Wenxi was usually bullied by the princess, so she was still aggrieved. In fact, the princess's kindness to Yu Wenxi was obvious to all.

"Xi'er is in the midst of blessings and doesn't know how to be blessed. If the princess doesn't like you, why should she insist on marrying you?" Zhao Xin put it bluntly. In love, everyone is belated.

"You said the princess likes me?" Yu Wenxi seemed to be greatly frightened.

"Could it be that Xi'er still can't see it?" If he can't see it, he is even more stupid than Xu Shiyan.

Yu Wenxi swallowed, "Does the princess really like me? But she always says I'm worthless. Does she also like me?" Yu Wenxi asked.

"Then Xi'er, what do you feel about the princess?"

Yuwenxi thought about it carefully. When he first met Zhao Xitong, Yuwenxi felt astonished, and after all, Zhao Xitong saved his life, so maybe it was under this influence that Yuwenxi would Agree to be Zhao Xitong's husband's request, as for liking?do you like it?Yu Wenxi still really wants to ask himself.

Yuwenxi felt lost when she couldn't see Zhao Xitong, and scared when she saw her.

I think about Zhao Xitong from time to time, is this what I like?

"I seem to understand a little bit." Yu Wenxi is also a child who knows everything.

"It's good to understand, but don't make the princess angry anymore." Zhao Xin said.

Yu Wenxi smiled and agreed, not to make the princess angry, how could this be possible.

Xu Shiyan has been away for several days, and she should be back by the time, but it is indeed another news.Xu Shiyan disappeared?

This was on the way back to Beijing. Xu Shiyan brought a group of people back to the capital, but the weather was unforeseen and there were several heavy rains in the past few days. The road back to Beijing was blocked by the sand washed down from the mountains.

Depending on the situation, he would not be able to go back in a few days, so Xu Shiyan decided to take everyone to stay in an inn.

Later, when the weather cleared up and the road was repaired, they were about to go on the road, but Xu Shiyan, who had been in the inn room the whole time, disappeared.

At first, she found that what Xu Shiyan was missing was a guard who often followed Xu Shiyan. It was meal time but the adult did not come out, and there was no response when she knocked on the door of the room. So she opened Xu Shiyan's room with doubts, only to find that the door was closed. There is no lock, but Mr. Xu in the room is missing.

After asking all the people, everyone said that they had never met Xu Shiyan, so he felt that something had happened.Xu Shiyan has made many enemies in the officialdom, it's not that he has never encountered an assassination, maybe he has met an assassin.

He asked some people to continue looking for Xu Shiyan's whereabouts, and sent people to the capital to spread the word.

It is a big deal that the Governor was robbed and disappeared on his way back from handling the case. Could it be related to the case that Xu Shiyan was handling.

Zhao Xin lost her strength when she heard the rumors from her subordinates. She has been restless for the past few days. What should Shi Yan do if there is an accident.

Zhao Xin calmed down and thought about it, then asked the visitor if they had encountered any strange people or things these days.

Still nothing found.

Zhao Xin thought of a terrible thing, Xu Shiyan probably fell into the hands of Master.

In fact, just as Zhao Xin expected, Xu Shiyan was indeed arrested by the owner of Qingyou Palace, and it was a purposeful and planned action, all of which were beyond Xu Shiyan's expectations.

Xu Shiyan felt dizzy, and when she was fully awake, she found herself in a small dark room, and she recalled what happened before.

Originally planned to go back to Beijing but didn't want to be knocked out as soon as he entered the inn room. What happened after that is not clear at all. Judging from the current situation, he might be hijacked.

"Master Xu finally woke up." A charming voice sounded in the darkness, Xu Shiyan heard the sound and looked over, and the room was lit after a while.

Under the dim light, Xu Shiyan could see the face of the woman in front of her clearly, but she couldn't remember who the woman in front of her was?

"What's the matter, Mr. Xu, aren't you sending someone to arrest me, you are stupid right now that I'm in front of you." The woman said sarcastically.

Xu Shiyan knew the identity of the woman in front of him. She was the owner of Qingyou Palace and Zhao Xin's master.

Just from her appearance, she couldn't tell the age of the woman in front of her at all. She was at most three or four years older than Zhao Xin. I didn't expect Qingyou Palace's facial beauty skills to be so powerful.

"I don't know why the palace lord invited me here?" Xu Shiyan sat up straight, looking neither humble nor overbearing, so that he would have the momentum to negotiate and not be at a disadvantage.

"Please. Hahahahaha" the woman looked at Xu Shiyan with great interest, "I never thought Mr. Xu would be so optimistic and confident. Do you think you are my invitation?"

"No matter how you came here, you must have a purpose. It's not as simple as just wanting to see me." Xu Shiyan smiled lightly, and she still wanted to save her life to go back to see Zhao Xin.

"I really want to meet the rumored Master Xu. I didn't expect Master Xu to be so handsome. No wonder my apprentice is fascinated."

"It's easy to say, in fact, Xiner also has a lot of things that attract me." Xu Shiyan's words are quite true, and the two are attracted to each other.

"It's really not easy to make Xin'er betray Qingyou Palace. Mr. Xu, don't forget that we have a big enmity between you. If you ruined my hard work, I will also destroy you." The woman began to threaten Xu Shiyan. .

Xu Shiyan was not intimidated by her, "If the palace lord wants to kill me, he can kill me. I'm afraid you have another purpose." Xu Shiyan guessed.

"Master Xu is really smart. Did you say that killing you is too cheap for you? I want you and Xin'er to taste the pain." The daughter said very happily.

"What love is, it's all a lie. I want to see how unwavering your love is. I just want to give you a fatal blow when your love is the strongest. You can't even think about the love I can't get get."

Xu Shiyan felt that the palace lord was actually a lunatic, a lunatic who had not found love.

"I forgot to tell you, in fact, you don't need to send someone to check Xin'er's identity, you can ask me directly, because I brought her back." The woman said again.

It seems that Xu Shiyan underestimated her. It turned out that she knew every move of herself and Zhao Xin.

Xu Shiyan gritted his teeth and looked at the crazy woman in front of him, Xin'er must never fall in love with her
