Your majesty, please stay in the cold palace

Xu Chengze listened to Guo Heng and Yan Zheng chattering, but his mind was not on it at all.

As he walked, he observed the layout of the Yan Mansion, wondering where A-Lian would be locked up if she was really caught and entered the mansion.

While watching, he sneered, Yan Zheng is really self-effacing, the exquisite and luxurious Yan Mansion is almost comparable to the imperial palace, but the area is smaller.It's much smaller than the palace, but it's as big as several other houses, and you can only see overlapping eaves from the outside. No wonder Senior Brother Yu didn't come back when he came here. It's really difficult to find someone here.

He already had a premonition in his heart that he would not gain anything if he came today.

After passing through two corridors, Guo Heng stopped when he saw the main room ahead.

"Teacher, I haven't been here for a long time, so I'm not in a hurry to sit down, can I ask Mr. Yan to take me to the garden? You are old, just rest in your room."

Yan Zheng didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Guo Heng's gourd, but he had to obey the emperor's words.

He immediately called Yan Chengcai who was following behind: "Chengcai, did you hear that? Take a good look around with the emperor."

"say,,

疋.

Although Yan Chengcai was reluctant, he had to obey.

"Where does the emperor want to see?"

Guo Heng pondered for a while, "I remember that the two entrances in the back are the courtyards where the women's family members live, let's walk around in the front!"

"say,,

疋.

Guo Heng followed Yan Chengcai, turned around several courtyard houses in the front yard, and then said: "Looking at the state of Yan's residence, you can know Grand Master Yan's talent."

Xu Chengze nodded. It is true that although the Yan Mansion is large, it is clean everywhere, the scenery is well-arranged, neither cluttered nor chaotic, and the servants are well-regulated. There is not a single noise of discussion in the huge courtyard.

After half an hour, several people turned to the original courtyard again.

Guo Heng smiled and said: "After walking for a long time, I'm tired too. Ruoxu, let's go, let's go into the house and ask the Grand Master for a glass of water. Don't you like drinking tea? The tea here by the Grand Master is probably better than mine. It's even better there."

Yan Zheng was already outside the door. Hearing what Guo Heng said, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this old minister can't bear it."

Guo Heng rubbed his nose, "I didn't talk nonsense, I just think the tea from the grand master is better than the one in my palace. Ruoxu, you are a master tea taster, after a while you taste the tea from the grand master, you will know what I mean It's true."

Because Guo Heng was drugged and poisoned once before, the things he uses, whether it is food or drink, are checked very strictly.Shui Yun personally tested the poison in the teapot and cup with silver needles before serving the tea to Guo Heng and Xu Chengze.

Guo Heng smiled and said: "Excuse me, grand master, it's not that I don't believe in grand master. It's just that after two accidents, they were scared, and I was helpless! I told them again and again that they don't have to be so careful, but they just didn't listen. To make it so troublesome."

Yan Zheng knew what he was talking about, even if he felt uncomfortable, he could only laugh along with him: "Your Majesty is a daughter of gold, so you must be cautious.

"

Guo Heng shook his head, picked up the teacup, and motioned for Xu Chengze.

"Ruoxu, try it. The tea from Grand Master's Mansion will not let you down."

Xu Chengze nodded with a smile, picked up the teacup, lowered his head, took a sip, savored it carefully, and then took another sip.

Then he praised: "Good tea, good water, good utensils."

Guo Heng put down his glass and laughed.

"I'm not wrong, am I? If you want to drink good tea, you still have to go to the Grand Master. Although there is good tea there, I don't know tea as well as the Grand Master

"

Yan Zheng said: "Your Majesty and Mr. Xu are absurd. I didn't expect Mr. Xu to be a tea lover when he is young. To be honest, I am just arty. I hope Mr. Xu will tell me what is so good about this tea?"

When Yan Zheng said this, he definitely didn't mean to ask for advice humbly, but Xu Chengze didn't fear him either.Yongjia is a well-known hometown of green tea. He has been in Yongjia for several years. Although he worked as a private school teacher there, many of the children’s families are tea farmers, so he has learned a lot about tea.

It's just that he didn't want to show off, so he put down his teacup, smiled lightly, and said, "The grand master is too modest. Your pot of Mingqian Longjing is delicious and mellow, with endless aftertaste. It is really rare."

Seeing Xu Chengze say the name of the tea in one gulp, Yan Zheng also admired it.

"Master Xu is indeed a person who understands tea."

He turned around and ordered, "Yan Fu, prepare two tea leaves for Mr. Xu."

Yan Fu agreed, Xu Chengze hurriedly said: "The Grand Master is too polite."

But Guo Heng said: "Ruoxu, the tea leaves I gave you are not as good as the Grand Master's. You don't want it, but don't regret it! Xu Chengze gave him a helpless look, stood up and saluted, "The next official thanked the Grand Master. "

Guo Heng said that he was here to taste tea, but after only brewing a pot of tea three times, he got up and left.

When Guo Heng got on the imperial chariot, Yan Chengcai couldn't hold his breath anymore.

"Father, what are they doing here?"

Yan Zheng's smiling face instantly collapsed, and he said in a deep voice, "We'll talk about it when we go home."

Yan Chengcai touched his nose, he was too anxious.It's still at the gate!Although no one dared to spy in their strict mansion, but just in case.

He suppressed his restless thoughts, accompanied Yan Zheng slowly back to the house, and then said, "Father, Guo Heng and Xu Ruoxu are here, what do you think?"

Yan Zheng sat down on the chair, clasped his hands, slowly twirled his thumbs, and lowered his eyelids slightly, as if in deep thought.

After a long while, I raised my head and said, "I really can't see Guo Heng through this period of time, and I can't guess why he came today. You took him to the yard, did he ask anything? "

Yan Chengcai recalled what happened just now, and slowly shook his head, "No. Only he introduced the scenery of the yard to Xu Ruoxu, and roughly talked about the yards in the front and back yards. Father, do you think they think we You arrested Xu Ruoxu's maid to investigate the situation?"

Yan Zheng thought about it and said: "If he knew that the woman was arrested by us, he would not be so polite. Maybe they just came to find out the news."

Yan Chengcai rubbed his chin and sneered, "Cut! Our Yan Mansion is so big, even if the woman is still in our Yan Mansion, they can't find her. Check for news? I, Yan Chengcai, will not take the initiative to tell."

Yan Zheng was silent for a while, then sighed, "Since we can't guess their purpose, we don't need to guess. The most urgent thing now is that the woman will definitely say that she was arrested by our Yan Mansion when she returns to Xu Ruoxu's place." , when Xu Chengze comes again, I'm afraid that he will be punished by the teacher."

"Hehe, Xingshi asked the crime? Let's see if he has the guts! She said that I arrested people, but I also said that she sneaked into the Yan Mansion with no good intentions! This kind of thing, everyone has their own reasons, just sue the emperor. , I am not afraid either!"

Yan Chengcai's unreasonable reasoning is justified, but there is some truth in what he said.

"Forget it. This matter will be done according to what you said. Let the Yan Mansion strictly control the mouths of the people in the mansion. I don't want to cause trouble again."

"Yes. I'll tell Yan Fu right now."

Yan Chengcai got up to leave, but sat down again, as if he suddenly remembered, "By the way, father, isn't that Zhang Dong injured? He is also seriously ill. If he is sent out by others, he will naturally call for a doctor. We Should I check with the doctors in the capital?"

"Yeah. You're right, I'll let Yan Fu do it later."

"Yes." Yan Chengcai said, "Father, it's been a while since Chun'er was arrested in the clan's mansion, no matter whether he was guilty or not, shouldn't he give an explanation? Save me a lot of nights and dreams!"

Yan Cheng can think of it, Yan Zheng can think of it naturally, but how to say this in the court is quite troublesome.

"Cheng Cai, do you have any news about the matter in the south?"

It was rare for Yan Chengcai to be serious, "I have already replied to the letter, just in the past few days."

"woman.,,

As soon as the imperial chariot turned around the Yan Mansion, Guo Heng ordered the imperial chariot to stop, and said to Xu Chengze who was following behind, "Come up."

Xu Chengze paused, and got on the imperial chariot in full view.

"Your Majesty, you cannot do this."

Guo Heng grabbed his hand, pulled him into his arms, kissed him lightly on the cheek, and said with a smile: "I am the emperor, there is nothing I cannot do."

On the imperial chariot, Xu Chengze didn't dare to make too much movement, he just sat up straight and said helplessly: "You are more and more like the emperor."

Guo Heng was not annoyed, but asked knowingly, "What do you mean by that? Huh? Does it mean that I am becoming more and more dignified?"

Xu Chengze rolled his eyes, but asked: "Your Majesty, do you think Alian and Senior Brother Yu are in the Yan Mansion?"

When it came to business, Guo Heng restrained his teasing appearance, "I don't think so."

"Why?"

"I know Yan Chengcai better than you. He is definitely not a person who can hide things. But he didn't show his flaws when I made indirect and indirect attacks. Moreover, if those two people were in Yan's mansion, he would definitely show his complacency. but he's acting so normal

, indicating that those two people are really not in the Yan Mansion. "

Guo Heng really knew Yan Chengcai better than him, Xu Chengze felt a little relieved.

"Not in the Yan Mansion, where did those two go?"

Seeing Xu Chengze frowned in thought, Guo Heng didn't even look at himself, feeling a little depressed.

"Don't worry, didn't you say that your senior brother is very skilled? With him around, A-Lian will not be in danger."

"However, I'm worried that Senior Brother Yu may not be with A-Lian."

Guo Heng sighed, pulled him into his arms again, stroked his fingers and said, "With Yu Qiuyuan's temper, if he finds someone, he won't leave him alone."

"I hope so!"

After saying this, the imperial chariot stopped outside the alley of Xu Ruoxu's house.The alley was too narrow for the imperial chariot to enter.

Guo Heng jumped out of the car first, and then took Xu Chengze's hand to help him down.

Xu Chengze said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, you should hurry back to the palace!"

Guo Heng said, "No hurry, I'll walk you in."

Guo Heng is not in casual clothes today, so Xu Chengze doesn't want him to stay outside for a long time.

"It's just a few steps, I'll go back by myself."

"But, I still want to stay with you for a while."

Guo Heng held Xu Chengze's hand and couldn't help but drag him forward.

Hearing what Guo Heng said, Xu Chengze felt sweet in his heart, and he no longer refused.

The alley was very narrow, only allowing two people to pass side by side, Shuiyun asked the guards and eunuchs to wait outside, and followed closely by himself.He knew that all the guards living around this alley were skilled, so he didn't worry that Xu's house would be unsafe.

Xu Chengze pushed open the door of his house, and saw Yi Na walking up to meet him quickly, the sadness when he went out in the morning was swept away on his face, and he rarely showed

smile.

He was stunned for a moment before he was about to ask, when Yi Na said: "My lord, A-Lian and Mr. Xu are back!"
