Go back to ancient times to explore the case

"Pavilion Master, the reply letter has arrived, and the other party said that he will come as scheduled."

Xie Yu'an burned the note in her hand and came to Yan Qingchuan's room. Yan Qingchuan had just dressed, and she stepped forward to help him straighten his clothes, "Master Yan, come back early, remember to miss me."

Yan Qingchuan said unnaturally: "Just to visit the Prime Minister, the total journey is only two miles, and I will be back at noon."

"No matter, just remember to think of me."

Yan Qingchuan didn't speak, and left Yan's mansion with the things he had visited.

And not long after she left, Xie Yu'an changed into a dark dress and left the Yan Mansion. She walked towards the deep alley, and two tall people in black robes appeared behind her, and one of them was Yi Zheng.

The three of them put on the hats of the one-piece robes and came to a quiet house in the city.

Yi Zheng stood at the gate of the courtyard, while Xie Yu'an quickly walked into the house.

There was already one person in the room, with a slender figure, with his back facing the door, wearing simple women's clothes and simple hair accessories.After hearing the sound of the door opening, the woman turned her head, and it was Lu Jin, the most prosperous concubine in the harem.

Right now, she only put on a little makeup, and she took off her complicated palace attire and headgear, looking beautiful and lovely, like a girl who has not yet left the court.

Xie Yu'an took off his hat, faced Lu Jin with his true face, and said with a smile: "The imperial concubine has worked so hard to avoid the heavy eyeliners in the palace to come to the appointment, thank you."

Lu Jin's expression was light: "Aren't you afraid of bringing a killer here and putting you in danger?"

Xie Yu'an replied calmly: "I have no grievances or enmities with the imperial concubine, you have no reason to kill me. If you really want to take my life, you would not have revealed to me last time about your father's relationship with the owner of the Wuji Pavilion." collusion."

"I know that the empress is involuntary, and the two are in a dilemma. I am looking for you this time, but I just want to ask the empress to help me with a small favor."

Lu Jin raised her eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

"Now that the crown prince has passed away, your majesty has only one son, and the courtiers can see how your majesty is. The third prince's appointment as the crown prince is a certainty. I hope that your majesty can introduce me to enter the prince's academy. "

As the adoptive mother of the third prince, it would be easy for Lu Jin to force someone into the prince's school.

She lowered her head slightly, as if pondering and deliberating, and asked after a while: "His Highness the Third Prince is only eight years old, and his sanity is not yet enlightened. If you want to win him over, it may be too early."

Xie Yu'an shook his head with a smile: "I have had contact with His Highness, he has a calm temperament and precocious wisdom, empress, don't treat him like a child, a person in the deep palace, the innocence and childishness in nature faded away early."

Lu Jin didn't speak any more, got up and said: "Okay, I promise you, but I also hope that you don't let me down, I conspire with you, and I hope you will bring down the Wuji Pavilion on the premise of protecting my Lu family. You are not his opponent, I will abandon you at any time, then don't blame me."

Xie Yu'an bowed and saluted, "Naturally."

Lu Jin didn't speak, and his figure quickly disappeared in this small courtyard.

And after Xie Yu'an returned to Yan's Mansion, not long after, there was a noise from the door. She opened the door and saw that it was Yan Qingchuan who had returned. She greeted her with a smile: "Why don't you stay longer? What's the matter?"

Yan Qingchuan looked a little serious, "It's not very good. The doctor said that the prime minister's old illness has relapsed and his body is already weak. In addition, the wound on his arm hasn't healed after a period of time. There may be some infection."

Xie Yu'an didn't know how to unravel Yan Qingchuan. Modern medicine is still helpless in the face of some stubborn diseases and injuries, let alone the underdeveloped medical level in this world.

Yan Qingchuan sighed and said: "Last time we saw each other, I was still able to go to the ground, but now I can't even touch the land. The Prime Minister's Mansion has sent people to Shu to ask the Prime Minister to return to Beijing as soon as possible."

"Oh? The prime minister has children?"

"Well, the Prime Minister and his wife have a son who is pure in nature and capable of both civil and military skills, but he doesn't want to stay in Beijing as an official. He is afraid of being said to rely on his father's shadow, so he went to the border area early to become a military general."

Xie Yu'an said in relief: "I'll ask someone to look for famous doctors from all over the world, and let them come to Beijing to treat the Prime Minister. It will be fine, don't worry."

Yan Qingchuan nodded his head lightly, only then realized that Xie Yu'an was dressed in the clothes he had gone out, and asked, "Where have you been?"

Xie Yu'an smiled: "I asked for an errand for myself, so I have to have a serious job, otherwise, wouldn't I become a little boy who depends on Mr. Yan's life?"

"Governor Xie's estates are all over the capital. Although it is not incomparable to say that the country is rich, the wealthy side does not give up much. If you have to ask for errands to make a living, then I will be so embarrassing." Yan Qingchuan snorted.

Xie Yu'an just wanted to reply with a playful smile, but Yan Qingchuan stretched out his hand to pinch her face, and then said nonchalantly: "However, there is one sentence that is quite good, and it is quite plain."

"Seriously, why did you go?" Yan Qingchuan pinched Xie Yu'an's face and didn't let go, as if the other party would be guilty if he didn't answer seriously.

Xie Yu'an raised his hand as a gesture of surrender, "I'm going to enter the Prince's Academy as a small scribe."

Yan Qingchuan frowned: "The East Palace has no owner right now."

"Sooner or later."

"What do you want to do when you enter the Eastern Palace?"

Xie Yu'an said leisurely: "The owner of the Wuji Pavilion wants to have a very good reputation, because he doesn't want to directly rebel and end up being called a traitor, so he wants to support a young emperor and be the one who holds the emperor to make the princes in power , how can I let him do what he wants?"

Yan Qingchuan worried: "The palace is dangerous..."

"I'm not afraid, but he has to be more careful. He wants too many things, power, status, fame, and people's hearts. The more he wants, the more weaknesses he will have." Xie Yu'an suppressed his smile and looked serious. Said: "I am different. The only thing I want in this world is you. As long as you are safe and sound, I can do anything with my hands and feet."

She paused, hugged Yan Qingchuan and said: "So you have to promise me, don't do risky things, don't put yourself in danger, before I come to you, you have done enough alone , let me come now."

Yan Qingchuan relaxed and leaned against Xie Yu'an. After a short silence, she suddenly said "remember".

Xie Yu'an was stunned, "What?"

Yan Qingchuan bit his lower lip lightly, closed his eyes and said, "I said I remember."

Xie Yu'an frowned and recalled, and after a while, he suddenly remembered that Yan Qingchuan was responding to their separation in the morning, she said "Master Yan, remember to miss me".

To be honest, she was just saying what she wanted, and she didn't take it to heart, but Yan Qingchuan took it seriously.

For a while, she couldn't describe her feelings. When she read the book, she felt that she had at least a general understanding of what kind of person Yan Qingchuan was through the superficial words, but this kind of cognition and understanding came after contacting Yan Qingchuan in person. be broken.

But right now, Yan Qingchuan showed more appearances in front of her that were not recognized by outsiders.

These awkward, cautious, not good at, and shy looks, the looks that Yan Qingchuan hid the most, she is willing to show to herself only.

Xie Yu'an is not a person who is easily sentimental, but at this moment, she felt that her eyes were slightly hot, and some hot emotions in her heart were spreading all over her body, making her nasal cavity sour.

She held back her bitterness, not wanting Yan Qingchuan to notice.

But how keen Yan Qingchuan is, she was naturally aware of it, she was a little stunned, she didn't understand why Xie Yu'an had such a reaction after hearing her words, but she was not good at coaxing people, so she was silent for a long time before saying: "If you don't understand, then I'll say one more thing."

"I remember thinking of you."

So frank, so unlike Yan Qingchuan.

But it was really what Yan Qingchuan said.

The wonderful feeling brought about by the huge gap between the two made Xie Yu'an's heart ache even more. She hugged Yan Qingchuan tightly, and condensed all the love accumulated in her heart into three short words.

"I love you".

Yan Qingchuan's deep eyes slowly dilated when these words fell into her ears, and the dazzling sunlight shone on her eyes, turning the bottom of her usual deep eyes into a clear pool.

Clear and clear.

She opened her mouth slightly, and the word "I" came out from between her lips, but the word "love" has such a great meaning, it was so important that Yan Qingchuan couldn't say it, even though she had said it countless times in her heart.

Xie Yu'an didn't wait for Yan Qingchuan to speak, and she didn't want to get a response, she sniffed, adjusted her mood and said: "It's okay, I miss Master Yan very much, I always miss it."

Yan Qingchuan slowly closed his upper lip, put his hand on Xie Yu'an's back, and stroked it gently.

"Ah."

......

Three days later, as expected by Xie Yu'an, or not by everyone's expectations, all the officials in the court announced that Emperor Yuan Qian had established the crown prince early to secure the foundation of the country.

Emperor Yuan Qian issued an edict to the world the next day, making the third prince Chu Qing the crown prince.

The prince entered the East Palace, Emperor Yuan Qian ordered the chief scholar of Yuge to be the prince Taishi, who gave the text, and the Taiwei who was about to return to Beijing was the prince Taifu, who was in charge of martial arts, and the prime minister was supposed to be the prince Taibao, but due to physical reasons, Then let the imperial historian take his place temporarily.

At this time, in the Prince's Academy of the East Palace, Chu Qing was wearing the prince's black uniform, embroidered with four-clawed python-shaped dark patterns, a jade crown on his head, and his hair was combed meticulously. A little nervous.

Every time he was questioned harshly, his sensual cheeks would tremble slightly.

Xie Yu'an stood aside, feeling sorry for this little guy, thinking that they were seven or eight years old, that was the most naughty time, half of the class seemed to have ADHD, sitting on a chair was like scalding their buttocks on a bench Unable to sit still, the head teacher couldn't help but smile. The teachers are strict in class, but they are gentle and loving after class. The relaxed teaching environment is much better than this oppressive educational environment.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this sentence?" The Taishi's hoarse and deep voice made Chu Qing's eyelids twitch, and after a while, he murmured: "Teacher, I...don't know."

The master of ceremonies at the side said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, now you belong to the crown prince, the master of the East Palace, you should call yourself this palace."

Chu Qing nodded slowly, her momentum seemed weak: "I...understood."

Xie Yu'an shook his head in his heart when he saw it. Chu Qing was sitting in the middle of this huge Prince's Academy. Above him was the grand master teaching, and then the grand master's assistant, the young master. The scribes of the four directions are located in the four corners, as well as a group of palace servants.

The faces of all the people were so solemn that the atmosphere in the hall was also tense.

Xie Yu'an watched these people's words and deeds towards Chu Qing, and then listened carefully to the grand master's lecture, only to feel that each of these people had ghosts in their hearts.

That grand master is almost a suppressive education. Presumably, he wants to deliberately teach Chu Qing to be cowardly and timid, so that he will be controlled by them in the future, while the people around him, all eyes are like torches, spying secretly, I don't know which force it is What kind of thoughts do you have in your eyeliner?

How sad it is to be born in the royal family, and how lonely it is to live in the deep palace.

After the class was over, the rest of the people all exited the hall. After Xie Yu'an followed the crowd and left, he sneaked back to the hall and saw that Chu Qing was still studying in the hall, with his back straight, and his small back sitting alone in the hall, causing pity.

She walked over a few steps and whispered, "Your Highness?"

Chu Qing looked back and raised his airs, "What's the matter?"

Xie Yu'an squinted his eyes and smiled: "Don't you know the humble minister?"

Chu Qingyuan's round eyes showed doubts. He stared at the clerk in front of him and thought for a while before his confused eyes lit up, "You, you are the one who entered the palace with Yan Shaoqing to investigate the case of the emperor's brother."

Xie Yu'an nodded, "It's a humble minister."

"Why are you dressed like this?"

Xie Yu'an took advantage of the opportunity to sit down to Chu Qing's case, sitting in a free and easy posture, with one hand resting on his chin, "Because I want to teach Your Highness something interesting."

"What?" Chu Qing asked in a daze.

"No hurry," Xie Yu'an took out a candy from his sleeve and handed it to Chu Qing, "Your Highness, do you want to eat?"

Chu Qing's eyes brightened for a moment, but he still acted unmoved, "I am no longer a three-year-old child, and I have stopped eating these for a long time."

Xie Yu'an smiled: "Really?" She said, in front of Chu Qing, she slowly peeled off a piece of candy, threw it into her mouth, and exaggeratedly praised how delicious it was.

Chu Qing frowned slightly, and slowly stretched out his hand, "It's not impossible to try."

Xie Yu'an tossed a grain over, thinking that this kid's temper was somewhat similar to Lord Yan's.

After Chu Qing ate the candy, he smacked his mouth with gusto, and unknowingly bent his back, and said vaguely, "What's the interesting thing you said?"

Xie Yu'an made a lot of preparations, and in the next two or three hours, he talked about the history of dynasty replacement in ancient times, the industrial revolution in modern times, the awakening of democratic consciousness, the collapse of feudal kingship, and the merger of modern ideas of culture and technology. Chu Qing listened.

Chu Qing was taken aback when he heard that, "Do you mean that Da Qi will eventually perish too?"

"Yes, this is inevitable in the development of history, but it will not be now. You will not be the king of subjugation. Today's social productivity is doomed to the feudal monarchy. I don't want to discuss the pros and cons of the social system with you. I want to talk to you."

"To be a good monarch in the future, the people are like water, the vast rivers, the emperor is like a boat, a light boat, the water carries the boat, and it can also overturn the boat, treat the people's livelihood in the world, and the people must have awe, Heart of love.

The word Zuntianxiazhi does not mean noble, but to be respected and admired. If you can get the sincere love and respect of the people, you will be worthy of the word Tianxiazhizun. "Xie Yu'an said solemnly.

She could see that although Chu Qing was born in a feudal royal family, he was not much affected by the environment because of his lack of favor, but had a rare heart of innocence.

What she wants to do is to protect this innocent heart, and use meager strength to launch a future Mingjun for this world.

Chu Qing looked dazed.

Xie Yu'an said again: "By the way, don't listen to what the white-bearded old man said, it's already amazing to be able to learn this at your current age, he is suppressing you, pua you, you have to believe You yourself will become a qualified successor to the dynasty and will do better than your father and ancestors."

Chu Qing's eyes fluttered. He came from a humble background. Although he is a prince, he is the most insignificant person in the deep palace. Because he is not favored, he has been bullied openly and secretly by the palace people for many years. Who has ever praised him so sincerely.

Chu Qing clenched her small fist, looked up at Xie Yu'an firmly: "I will."
