Quick Wear: Plan to Save the Unrequited Boss

At the bedside, Xiao Zhiyan pulled her and wanted to pull her onto the bed, but Wen Ling raised her hand to hold the edge of the bed.

"You sleep, you sleep, I'll stay by your bedside."

Wen Ling tucked the quilt in for him with a smile on her face.

Xiao Zhiyan was lying on the bed, his black hair spread on the pillow, and he looked inexplicably well-behaved.

"A Ling won't sleep with me."

Xiao Zhiyan lay on the bed, holding Wen Ling's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that Wen Ling would leave if he let go.

Wen Ling gave a fake smile. They were not in a relationship where they could sleep in the same bed.

Unable to free his hand, Wen Ling could only let him hold it. Seeing that he was still awake, Wen Ling reached out and patted the quilt for him.

"Go to sleep."

Go to sleep quickly, she will be able to rest peacefully when she falls asleep.

It’s simply too much trouble.

"Close your eyes. How can you sleep if you don't?"

Xiao Zhiyan leaned closer to Wen Ling. The room was dim and his voice was low and lazy.

"I can't sleep if A Ling doesn't sleep with me."

It was clear what he was planning, but there was absolutely no way Wen Ling would sleep in the same bed with him tonight. Being cousins ​​was simply taboo.

Wen Ling continued to fake a smile, as if she was trying to coax her brother to sleep.

Patting his quilt, he said, "Then close your eyes and I'll coax you to sleep."

Xiao Zhiyan became interested when he heard this and closed his eyes obediently.

Wen Ling thought of all the nursery rhymes she could think of to lull a child to sleep, then spoke softly, lowering her voice, hoping to coax the ancestor in the bed to sleep quickly.

Xiao Zhiyan, who closed his eyes, felt very novel. Whether it was the gentle pats on his back or the soft and soothing singing in his ears, they all made him feel novel.

A feeling of attachment and warmth that had never been felt before arose in a certain person's heart.

I originally just wanted to cooperate with her, but I didn't expect that I would actually feel sleepy and fell asleep little by little.

Noticing that the person on the bed's breathing had evened out, Wen Ling carefully withdrew her hand from patting him.

She breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the bed to rest for a while, until it was almost dawn. She carefully let go of Xiao Zhiyan's hand that was tightly holding hers and left the hall.

He had no idea that the person on the bed opened his eyes as soon as he left the bedroom.

Yuan Jiu was Xiao Zhiyan's confidant, and he also knew that Wen Ling was here last night. Before Wen Ling left, she specially found him and asked him to prove to his master that she had indeed accompanied him for a night as agreed.

Seeing Wen Ling swiftly climb over the wall and leave the palace, Yuan Jiu pushed open the door of the bedroom and walked in.

The lights in the hall were brightly on, and Xiao Zhiyan was sitting on the bed.

"Your Highness, Her Highness the Crown Princess has left the palace."

Xiao Zhiyan lowered his eyebrows and looked at Wen Ling's hand, which he had held all night. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly and his voice was lazy.

"I see."

I still felt a little regretful that I couldn't sleep with her, but I didn't expect that she really coaxed me to sleep.

He woke up when she let go of his hand this morning.

After all, if he holds something tightly in his hand, there is no possibility of it slipping away unless he wants it to.

Xiao Zhiyan leaned his head and spoke in a leisurely tone.

"You said she took such great pains to stay with me all night, what should I give her?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhiyan frowned.

He knew absolutely nothing about her, her preferences, and nothing about her.

He didn't care before, but he definitely doesn't care now.

"Go and find out everything related to her. Write it down in a book and give it to me."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Yuan Jiu was extremely efficient in his work. He asked for the investigation in the morning, and Xiao Zhiyan got the booklet in the afternoon.

Xiao Zhiyan opened it and then sneered.

"Who dares to touch my people, Wen Zhi, you are such a fool."

"Yuan Jiu, I think it's time for us to get involved in Nanchen's political affairs."

Yuan Jiu lowered his brows and said, "Yes, Yuan Jiu will arrange it right away."

Flipping through the booklet, Xiao Zhiyan chuckled, "Yuan Jiu, do you think that if I can help A Ling seize the throne of Nanchen, will she like me?"

Yuan Jiu raised his eyes to glance at his master and saw that his master's tone was excited and his eyes were sparkling.

He chose his words and said, "Master, if that's the case, it's not love, it's just exploitation."

Unexpectedly, his master didn't care at all. Xiao Zhiyan just waved his sleeves, and his tone of interest remained unchanged.

"What does it matter? As long as she needs me and can't leave me, it's fine. What else matters?"

Yuan Jiu choked and was speechless.

Xiao Zhiyan flipped through the booklet briskly, then thought of something and looked up at Yuan Jiu.

"Then Yuanjiu, tell me, if I give Beizhao to A Ling as well, will she like me more?"

Yuan Jiu was startled and looked up to see Xiao Zhiyan's face full of joy and excitement. Although he didn't want to spoil his master's interest at this time, he was a good subordinate who was devoted to his master.

Yuan Jiu continued, "Your Highness, what if the Crown Princess gains power one day and turns against us?"

In fact, he wanted to say that it was time to kill the donkey, but it was inappropriate to compare his master to a donkey.

Xiao Zhiyan chuckled, his dark eyes gradually darkened, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became meaningful.

"Then let her need me forever."

Yuan Jiu wanted to say something, but when he met Xiao Zhiyan's warning look, he had to shut up.

His Highness only wanted to hear what he wanted to hear, and sighed inwardly, wondering how his wise and brave master could suddenly become love-minded.

What if Princess Nanchen is an unfaithful person and the master really helps her to unify the world? By then, Princess Nanchen will be powerful and how will the master respond?

Xiao Zhiyan continued to read the contents of the booklet, and his good mood disappeared completely after reading the latter part.

"Oh, Her Highness is truly a peerless beauty. There are many peach blossoms outside."

Listening to his master's dissatisfied voice, Yuan Jiu felt that it was time for him to advise him. He must not let his master continue to be so love-minded.

"Your Highness, the Princess Royal has been frequenting romantic places these past few years. When Chunyue Tower was still around, the Princess Royal once spent a fortune on the top performer there."

Yuan Jiu looked up and saw that his master had an ugly expression on his face. He thought to himself that he should continue talking if it was effective.

Then Xiao Zhiyan's sinister voice was heard.

"Where is the top star now?"

"She got married, but she didn't trust the right person. She was given to a merchant as a servant. After a few years, I heard that she fell seriously ill and passed away."

After hearing this, Xiao Zhiyan's expression looked better, but before long, he heard Yuan Jiu continue.

"Over the years, Changyanlou has become the most famous place for entertainment in the capital. Many noble ladies go there and spend lavishly."

Yuan Jiu glanced at Xiao Zhiyan again, lowered his eyes and continued.

"The reason why Changyan Tower is famous is because of a young man named Lin Xunian. People say that he has an elegant appearance and a gentle demeanor like the bright moon."

"Oh, is it so?"

Xiao Zhiyan looked down on men with such a background. He would go to such a place covered in dust and dirt, and still be in trouble.

"Yes, but the reason why Lin Xunian can still retain some dignity in a place like Changyan Tower is precisely because of the people behind him."

Xiao Zhiyan chuckled, and the words that came out of his mouth were inexplicably dangerous.

"Yuanjiu, since when did you start using riddles when talking to me?"

Yuan Jiu lowered his head even more, "I dare not. The person behind Lin Xunian is none other than Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."
