The son-in-law is too shy

The first thing Xu Huai'an did after calming down was nothing else but to take action against King Qi.

The folks praised King Qi very much, and many people called King Qi a great hero, who put down the bandits and brought peace to Qin.

I don’t know when it was rumored that King Qi was the son of a real dragon, and he would have the appearance of an emperor in the future, and King Qi’s reputation among the people was quite high. This rumor was spread ten times and hundreds of times, and soon the whole Qin Dynasty knew it. The old emperor naturally knew about it.

For the emperor, the most taboo is the master of meritorious deeds, let alone his own son.

It happened that the prince had been working hard recently, so he came to talk to the old emperor in his spare time.

It is the same today. In the early court, Emperor Wen heard a few ministers discussing about Li Chenghan, and he was full of praise for Li Chenghan. No one noticed the sinister look in Emperor Wen's eyes.

He couldn't help but glanced in the direction of the prince, and saw the prince pursing his lips, but standing upright, he couldn't help but think a little more in his heart.

Sure enough, after going to court, Emperor Wen did not let Li Chengyu stay with him, but called the prince into the imperial study.

"My son, pay respects to the emperor." Li Chengxu bowed respectfully as soon as he entered the imperial study.

"Get up." Two years later, Emperor Wen was much older, and his white hair at the sideburns was eye-catching.

"Thank you, father." Li Chengxu said as he said.

"What's your opinion on what happened in the early court today?" Emperor Wen asked tentatively.

Li Chengxu looked at Emperor Wen and said: "Father is talking about the severe drought in Youzhou? My son thinks that Master Zhang, the minister of household affairs, can do it."

When Emperor Wen heard this, he frowned in displeasure and said, "I told you about King Qi."

Li Chengxu seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "I think that the second brother Ping Kou has meritorious service, and the people's words are just listened to."

"You are lenient." Emperor Wen looked at him.

Li Chengxu hurriedly said: "Father, please calm down. What the second brother did was only for my Daqin. It is normal for the people to praise him, and there should be no ambiguity."

Li Chengxu's words were ingenious, Emperor Wen pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then said again: "If you are free these few days, go to the Six Departments more, I am old and have no energy, but those old guys are smart."

Don't mention Li Chenghan's matter again.

When Li Chengxu heard this, he immediately knew what he was saying, and hurriedly said: "Father, don't worry, my son will definitely live up to my father's expectations."

"Well, back off." Emperor Wen waved his hand, and Li Chengxu quietly backed out.

Li Chengxu first went back to the Prince's Mansion, changed his clothes, and went to the tea house opposite the Konghe Tower, went up to the third floor and entered the innermost private room.

When the refreshing fragrance of tea came, Xu Huai'an had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Li Chengxu, he nodded his head and said, "Your Highness."

"Miss Qin is very resourceful." Li Chengxu couldn't help laughing as soon as he sat down.

"Father has already become suspicious of King Qi." Li Chengxu said again.

Xu Huai'an brewed a cup of hot tea for him, and said calmly: "Emperor Wen is very suspicious, as long as he mentions it a little, the seeds of suspicion will take root in his heart, and finally grow into a towering tree."

"What should I do next?" Li Chengxu looked at Xu Huai'an and asked.

Xu Huai'an took a sip of his tea, and then said, "Wait."

"Wait?" Li Chengxu frowned.

"You just have to do what you should do, so that Emperor Wen's trust in you far exceeds that of King Qi and King Jin, and wait for them to mess up." Xu Huaian turned his head to look at the opposite Konghe Tower, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"Then King Jin, Zhuangzi..." Li Chengxu couldn't help asking.

However, Xu Huaian's hand holding the cup stiffened, and her five fingers unconsciously tightened a little. After a while, she took a deep breath and said, "No hurry."

When Li Chengxu heard this, he frowned unconsciously. There were too many mysteries in Xu Huai'an, which he couldn't figure out. She was the one who was in a hurry to find Li Qiushuang before, but now she finally got a clue, but she said she was not in a hurry. I couldn't figure out what she was planning.

As if guessing what Li Chengxu was thinking, Xu Huai'an withdrew his gaze from the outside, stared at the clear tea in the teacup and said: "If you can't bear it, you will make big plans. If you act rashly, you will easily fall short."

What she said was reasonable, and Li Chengxu couldn't refute it, and then said: "If the girl finds the lonely third sister, what is her plan?"

Xu Huai'an heard this, and said softly, "I will take her away."

But Li Chengxu couldn't help frowning and said: "She is the princess of Daqin, it would be inappropriate for the girl to take her away."

Xu Huai'an sneered, and looked at Li Chengxu with a sarcastic smile in his eyes under the mask.

"But she's already a 'dead'."

Li Chengxu was speechless for a moment.

"It doesn't matter if she is still a living person, she is not suitable for this place." Xu Huai'an drank the tea in his cup, got up immediately and said.

"I am waiting for good news from Your Highness."

After saying that, he left the private room without looking back.

After sitting in the teahouse for a while, when Xu Huai'an returned to the small courtyard, he found that Lin Lang had already been waiting there, with a tired look on his face.

"Aunt Lin?" Xu Huai'an was a little surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Why are you here today, but what's the matter?"

When Lin Lang saw her, he couldn't help but bent his lips and smiled: "How did you guess that I have something to do?"

Seeing this, Xu Huai'an smiled and said, "Aunt Lin is always cautious, if it wasn't for something important, she would definitely come here without telling me in advance. Aunt Lin, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

"You really can't hide anything from the young master." Lin Lang smiled helplessly, then straightened his expression and said: "The matter that the young master asked me to pay attention to has made progress."

"Oh?" Xu Huai'an raised his eyebrows, looked at Lin Lang and motioned for her to continue.

Lin Lang then continued: "The king of Jin still comes to the restaurant every three to five days, and he asks Fu Yuyi to play the piano every time he comes back. When he came again yesterday, I deliberately went up to the second floor to deliver wine to them, but I heard what the king of Jin said. It's not a problem to stay in Zhuangzi all the time. After I finished speaking, I saw me coming, and I shut up immediately. I greeted him with a smile, pretending that I didn't hear anything, and then said a few words to Fu Yuyi , I saw him dodging his eyes, thinking that he was hiding something from me. Because I didn’t stay too long, I delivered wine to the guests one by one, and chatted a few words from time to time, but the King Jin kept staring at me and left, so I knew that I was I was targeted, and sure enough, Fu Yuyi came to look for me at night."

Xu Huai'an frowned when he heard this, and only heard Lin Lang continue: "Then Fu Yuyi came to test how much I heard about the words in the daytime. past."

Hearing this, Xu Huai'an completely understood that Fu Yuyi had betrayed Lin Lang as she expected.

Xu Huai'an was silent for a while, then he got up and turned his back to Lin Lang and said, "I received news earlier that someone watched King Jin go to a Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, and the guards were heavily guarded, as if someone was being imprisoned."

Lin Lang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xu Huai'an and said, "What do you mean, young master?"

"We have to act early." Xu Huai'an turned to look at Lin Lang, his eyes were cold: "Aunt Lin may be able to make a move? If not, I want Mi Yan to go with you."

Lin Lang was dumbfounded, she knew that Xu Huai'an would not tolerate Fu Yuyi anymore, she was silent for a moment, and Xu Huai'an waited for her quietly for a while.

"I'll come." After a while, Lin Lang said.

Xu Huai'an didn't express anything superfluous, he just said: "Tonight, I will take people to visit the Zhuangzi at night, and the King of Jin will be alarmed tomorrow. After Aunt Lin finishes processing, she will take my handwritten letter to the Prince's Mansion. If the Prince asks, he will say that it is a The girl surnamed Qin asked you to find him and ask him to arrange it for you."

"Okay, I understand." Lin Lang was a little surprised that Xu Huai'an got on the line of the prince so quickly, but soon realized that Xu Huai'an's sister Xu Wanqing is the current princess, and this is not surprising.

"Aunt Lin, please don't reveal my identity, the crown prince doesn't know that I am Xu Huai'an." Xu Huai'an said hastily.

Lin Lang looked at Xu Huai'an in surprise, Xu Huai'an smiled helplessly and said, "I'll talk to Aunt Lin in detail after these things are settled, don't blame me first."

Hearing what she said, Lin Lang knew that she was thinking about it, so he stopped asking and got up to resign.

To send Lin Lang away, Xu Huaian immediately called Mi Yan.

"I can't wait any longer. If I wait any longer, something will change. Tonight, you will order four more shadow guards with me, and go to visit that Zhuangzi together!" Xu Huai'an's brows and eyes showed anxiety.

"Yes." Seeing her, Mi Yan knew that something must have happened to make her suddenly make this decision, so she immediately agreed.

"By the way, let the two of you secretly protect Aunt Lin." Xu Huai'an thought for a while and said again.

"clear."

At night, Xu Huai'an changed into night clothes and put on a mask. As soon as he went out, he saw Mi Yan and four shadow guards waiting for a long time. Jiang Xiuqing stood aside with worried eyebrows.

She wanted to go together, but was rejected by Xu Huai'an, and Jiang Xiuqing, who knew her own strength, didn't force her anymore.

"Let's go." Xu Huaian took a scimitar from Mi Yan's hand and said softly.

The night was dark and the wind was high, and the shadows of the trees were fading. A few black shadows crossed the outskirts of Luoyang City, and after a while, they saw the Zhuangzi that Li Chengxu had mentioned.

What Li Chengxu said is correct, there are indeed many people secretly staring at Zhuangzi, with just one glance, Xu Huai'an saw seven or eight secret whistles, without her needing to say anything, Mi Yan waved his hand, and the shadow guard was rushed up silently, In a blink of an eye, all those secret whistles were wiped away.

"Go and check the wing room with two people, and leave another two to help, Mi Yan, you go and check the front yard, and I'll go to the back yard." Xu Huai'an ordered in a low voice.

Several people nodded slightly, and took advantage of the night to enter the manor.

Xu Huai'an sneaked into the backyard alone, and when he encountered a secret whistle, he quietly pulled it out, and then continued to caress.

There are so many secret whistles, which shows how much Li Chengyu attaches importance to this Zhuangzi, or how much he values ​​the things or people in Zhuangzi.

The more they walked into the backyard, the stronger the strength of those secret sentries, forcing Xu Huai'an to move a little faster.

When she pulled out a secret whistle again, Xu Huai'an froze in place the moment she stepped into the backyard.

In the pavilion in the distance, there is a beautiful woman in white who is drinking wine alone. Her white clothes are like snow, her skin is like jade, and her cold and noble face is stained with a thin layer of red due to drunkenness. She is extremely attractive. The purple jade tassels were intertwined, embellishing her with some different colors.

Xu Huai'an only felt that her breathing seemed to have stopped at this moment. The world is so big, but her eyes can't accommodate anything else.

As if aware of her gaze, the woman tilted her head and looked at each other, her eyes met, just like when she first met, she was silent.
