The son-in-law is too shy

After all, lunch was for going back to the inn, the inn was bustling with people, Xu Huai'an looked impatient.

"You can go around later and see if there is a small courtyard in Luoyang." Xu Huaian said after taking a sip of soup.

"That money..." Mi Yan, who was cheated by Xu Huai'an once, looked at Xu Huai'an cautiously.

Xu Huai'an gave her a helpless look and said, "I'll leave."

"That's easy to say." Mi Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

After lunch, Xu Huai'an went back to the house to rest, and Mi Yan went out to find the small courtyard that Xu Huai'an wanted.

At the end of the day, he finally found a place, rented it, and moved in with Xu Huai'an.

After settling down, Xu Huai'an found her again.

"What's the matter, young master." Mi Yan complained, "I've been running all afternoon, and I won't let my concubine take a good rest."

Xu Huai'an glanced at her and said, "Find a way to ask the prince out. I can help him on the third floor of the tea house opposite the Crane Tower tomorrow."

Mi Yan twitched the corners of her lips: "Young master, you are really good at summoning people. The Prince's mansion is full of Jinwu guards. I will come back after I leave?"

"Don't worry, he won't die, at most he will be tortured." Xu Huai'an said calmly.

The smoky straight grinding of the posterior alveolar.

In the end, it is still the end of resignation to fate. If she can't beat her, she is still her precious niece, and she can't afford to offend her. She should be honest.

At night, Prince's Mansion.

Li Chengxu has been under a lot of pressure recently, and Li Chenghan's power has grown stronger these years. Now the war in the Northland has made Li Chenghan a household name. When Li Chenghan is mentioned, everyone knows that His Royal Highness Qi is brave and good at fighting.

As for the ministers in the court, half of them are optimistic about Li Chenghan. If Li Chenghan is not born from a concubine and is not the eldest son, I am afraid that one of the crown princes must belong to Li Chenghan.

Originally, Li Qiushuang could be a great help for him, but he didn't want to. Something happened to Li Qiushuang, and Li Chengyu obviously started to lean towards Li Chenghan, so that he didn't even have anyone available, and he was greatly shackled.

He is depressed but also very distressed. If this goes on, it will be a matter of time before he loses power, and he must come up with a way to deal with it before then.

He was pacing in the study room, his brows were tightly frowned on Jun Lang's face.

But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air, and Li Chengxu tilted his head subconsciously, and saw a short arrow nailed to a pillar beside it, and there seemed to be a note curled on it.

Li Chengxu frowned, and subconsciously looked at the small hole pierced by the arrow on the paper window.

After waiting for a while and seeing no other movement, Li Chengxu stepped forward cautiously, took off the arrow and took off the note on it.

At noon tomorrow, the third floor of the tea house opposite the empty crane tower can help to compete with King Qi.

Li Chengxu's eyes dimmed a bit, and he held the note in thought.

"Come here." Li Chengxu took the note and called out in a deep voice.

"Your Highness." The confidant stepped forward and cupped his hands.

"Send someone to watch the tea house opposite the Konghe Tower at noon tomorrow," Li Chengxu said.

The cronies don't understand Li Chengxu's actions, but he naturally obeys Li Chengxu's orders unconditionally.

On the roof, Mi Yan raised her eyebrows and went back to report.

After Xu Huai'an listened, his voice was calm: "If he is not cautious, how can I ask him to cooperate."

"Aren't you afraid that your identity will be exposed?" Mi Yan frowned.

"It's okay, anyway, it's not Xu Huai'an who came back now, but Qin An, a businessman." Xu Huai'an didn't panic at all.

Mi Yan secretly rolled her eyes.

On the second day, Li Chengxu came to the teahouse in plain clothes, and after making sure that no one was following him, he went up to the third floor, where there was already a maid waiting there.

When Mi Yan saw Li Chengxu go upstairs, the corners of his lips curled up, and he saluted respectfully.

"His Royal Highness."

Li Chengxu glanced at her with deep eyes, and said after a while: "Do you know Gu?"

"My young lady ordered me to wait for His Royal Highness here for a long time." Mi Yan said.

"Your lady?" Li Chengxu frowned.

"His Royal Highness, please come." Mi Yan didn't say much, and led Li Chengxu inside.

Li Chengxu saw his eyes moving slightly, so he followed suit.

Pushing open the innermost private room, one can see a woman in black with a silver mask kneeling in the room, cooking new tea.

Washing the tea set, skimming off the tea dust, pouring a new cup of clear green tea, and putting it on the opposite side of him, without looking up, he just said: "The best Junshan Silver Needle, Your Highness, try it?"

With that said, he poured himself a cup of exactly the same tea and took a sip.

Li Chengxu couldn't figure out what the woman was thinking, so he sat in front of her, stared at her mask and said, "Who are you? What's the point of finding an orphan?"

"Your Highness, can you understand chess?" Xu Huai'an asked without answering.

"Of course I understand." Li Chengxu couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in her coffin, so he replied in a low voice.

"Then Your Highness thinks, on this chessboard called Tianxia, ​​are you a chess player or an ordinary chess piece?" Xu Huaian raised his head and looked directly at Li Chengxu.

"What do you mean girl?" Li Chengxu frowned.

Xu Huaian clapped his hands, and Mi Yan stepped forward with the chess pieces and placed them on the table for the two of them.

"Your Highness, why not play a game of chess with me, or you can solve your doubts." Xu Huai'an took the sunspot and said with a smile.

Li Chengxu pursed his lips and remained silent, but Xu Huai'an dropped a piece. Seeing this, Li Chengxu took out a piece from the white chess box and followed it.

The two of you came and went, and after waiting for half an hour, Li Chengxu began to hesitate when he settled down.

He is controlled by others, and if he makes a mistake, he will lose everything.

"Your Highness thinks that this chess game is in the same situation as yours?" Xu Huai'an, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said.

Li Chengxu froze for a moment, and looked at the chessboard. On the chessboard mountain, there were tigers and wolves in front of him, and snakes and scorpions behind him. The tigers, wolves and snakes teamed up to drive him into the valley of death, and the tigers, wolves and snakes beside him were Li Chenghan and Li Chengyu?

He put down the chess pieces, swept away the distrust at the beginning, got up and respectfully bowed to Xu Huai'an: "Please tell me clearly, Miss."

"Your Highness, there is no need to be polite, take your seat quickly." Xu Huai'an said.

Li Chengxu got up and sat in front of Xu Huai'an again with a serious look.

But Xu Huai'an said: "Although tigers and wolves are brave, they are arrogant and conceited. Although snakes and scorpions are poisonous, they only dare to hide in the dark. If they fight head-on, they will definitely suffer."

Xu Huaian stretched out his hand, took out a piece from the white chess box in front of Li Chengxu, and dropped it on the board. In an instant, the alliance of tigers, wolves, snakes and scorpions fell apart, and the white piece suddenly came back to life.

Li Chengxu was stunned, he didn't expect Xu Huai'an to solve the situation he had been anxious about in a few words, and he immediately had a high opinion of Xu Huai'an.

"I have been taught alone." Li Chengxu cupped his hands again.

Then he asked: "I don't know the girl's name, why do you want to help Gu?"

"My surname is Qin, and I help His Highness the Crown Prince, but I just want to cooperate with His Highness the Crown Prince." Xu Huai'an said bluntly.

"Cooperation?" Li Chengxu looked at Xu Huaian.

"I will help His Highness bring down King Qi and King Jin, and Your Highness will help me find someone." Xu Huaian looked at Li Chengxu.

Hearing this, Li Chengxu couldn't help but chuckled and said, "It's so difficult to find someone. I don't know who Miss Qin wants to find?"

"Princess Ningyang, Li Qiushuang." Xu Huaian looked up at Li Chengxu.

Hearing this, Li Chengxu's expression froze immediately, and his voice was also a little bit cold: "The third younger sister has long since passed away, I don't know why the girl is looking for her?"

Faced with Li Chengxu's sudden change of attitude, Xu Huai'an was not annoyed, and only said: "How can we determine that a person is dead if the body is not found? A tomb can be erected to replace me?"

Li Chengxu choked, not knowing how to speak.

"Your Highness, you can rest assured that Princess Ningyang and I are old acquaintances, and I will definitely not harm her. It is just to prove whether she is still alive." Xu Huai'an narrowed his eyes and said.

Li Chengxu pursed his lips: "I don't know if she is still alive or not. When something happened that year, I took the Jinwu Guards to search the mountains, but I didn't find her."

Xu Huai'an was silent for a moment, and then said: "Has Your Highness checked King Qi and King Jin?"

Li Chengxu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The girl is suspicious."

"As far as I know, King Qi and King Jin seem to have something to do with Xuanyin Palace." Xu Huai'an said bluntly.

Li Chengxu frowned, and said for a while, "I know."

Xu Huai'an got up leisurely, and said: "In that case, I will not waste your Highness's time."

Xu Huai'an took out a short whistle from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Li Chengxu: "If there is any news from Your Highness, please send me a letter from Feige, please leave."

After finishing speaking, he didn't stay any longer and left with mist.

Li Chengxu stared at the short whistle in his hand, thought for a moment, then got up and left.

The two walked towards the small courtyard, and when they reached the alley where there were few people, Mi Yan smiled lightly and said, "Miss, what about those who follow?"

"Been knocked out, just send it back to the Prince's Mansion." Xu Huaian said without looking back.

Mi Yan smiled knowingly, raised her hand and snapped her fingers. The two dark guards of the Jinwu Guard who were following behind them both passed out before they could react, and the two men in black picked them up and left.

As soon as Li Chengxu pushed open the door of the prince's mansion, two figures descended from the sky, scaring the Jinwu Guards to draw their swords and surround Li Chengxu in the middle.

With two thuds, the two hidden guards fell unconscious in front of everyone.

Li Chengxu: "..."

"My lady said that she doesn't like being disturbed, so I sent the people from His Highness's house back."

Li Chengxu looked up, and saw a man in black standing on the roof not far away. The Jinwu Guard wanted to step forward to surround him, but Li Chengxu raised his hand to stop him.

Li Chengxu bowed his hands to the man in black and said, "Please tell your lady, you are so lonely."

The man in black didn't reply, he just jumped and disappeared in place.

Watching the man in black disappear, Li Chengxu frowned unconsciously.

Who is this Miss Qin, and why she knows so many things so well? Two years ago, after Fang Junyi's death, Xuanyin Palace seemed to have disappeared, but today this Miss Qin pointed out that Li Chenghan and Li Chengyu both worked for Xuanyin Palace , so that he had to re-examine the current situation.

"Come here." Li Chengxu called out.

"Your Highness." The leader of the Jinwu Guard hurried forward.

"Go and keep an eye on Prince Jin's Mansion and Prince Qi's Mansion, especially the whereabouts of the two of them. Be sure to keep an eye on them but don't let them find out, and then report to me in detail." Li Chengxu ordered.

"Yes, Your Highness."
