Quickly wear a child, the villain is more favored, who wants the male protagonist?

Banquet House.

There were always screams coming from the tall courtyard wall. Shuangxi looked at the Qilin with its mouth wide open at the door and couldn't help shivering.

very scary.

No wonder everyone says Commander Yan is a cold-blooded and ruthless living devil.

Just when she was hesitant and didn't dare to go forward, the guard at the door frowned and walked up to her, speaking in a serious tone.

"What do you want? If you have nothing to do, don't linger at the door."

Shuangxi said quickly,

"Something's wrong. Um, big brother guard, is Commander Yan in the mansion? Could you please pass on the message? I have something very important to tell the commander."

The guard paused, frowning.

"Who sent you? Do you have a visiting card?"

"No. But..."

"Please leave if you don't have a visiting card." The guard interrupted Shuangxi impatiently before she could finish her words and turned back to stand guard.

You want to meet the master without a visiting card. Do you think his master has a lot of free time?

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Can't I see Commander Yan without a visiting card? I have something urgent to ask Commander Yan, you should at least let him know. You..."

Shuangxi spoke until his mouth was dry, but the guards remained unmoved.

This won’t do. The young lady is already waiting at Huifulou, and she must bring Yan Sili over.

Yan Sili rarely returns home. I finally found out that he returned home today. I can't miss this opportunity, otherwise I don't know when I will find him next time.

In a hurry, Shuangxi stamped his feet and said,

"Hurry up and report it to someone. Tell them it's related to the Si family back then. Commander Yan will definitely come to see me."

Before she finished speaking, the door creaked open. The moment Yan Sili came out, he heard her say the word "Si family". His narrow and sharp eyes suddenly turned dark.

"What did you say?" Yan Sili said in a low and cold voice.

"Commander Yan, I'm here to deliver a message on behalf of my young lady. It's like this..."

Shuangxi stood on tiptoe and spoke a few words in a low voice beside him.

Yan Sili was silent for a moment, a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes, and he seemed to be smiling.

"Who is your master?"

"Commander Yan will know once he meets him."

.......

Shortly after Yan Sili and Shuangxi left, a grocery cart on the street moved slightly. A man came out of the cart, lowered his head, pushed the cart and blended into the crowd.

As he left, his ears moved again.

.......

Xia Xizhi walked out of the imperial study and couldn't help but raise a sly smile.

Zhou Yan was so angry at her that his face turned green.

No matter what Zhou Yan said, she would either say, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Your Majesty, I am terrified to tell you this."

Or with a worried look on his face, "What should I do, Your Majesty?"

In short, he pretended to be stupid and never mentioned that the Xia family provided money.

Zhou Yan was very concerned about his reputation, so in the end he didn't directly ask her to ask her father and brother for money. In the end, his face turned blue and purple from holding it in.

Finally, when she left, she said,

"Empress, please let your sister Qingqing come to sleep with you tonight. After all, she is your sister, and I will take good care of her. Empress, please go down and make the arrangements."

It was obvious that he said this in anger, deliberately trying to irritate her.

Too bad she doesn't care.

Xia Xizhi left with light steps, but Zhou Yan in the imperial study had a gloomy expression.

Did she really understand what he meant, or was she just playing dumb?

On Xia Xizhi's way back, Xu Liangyu, dressed as a royal guard, appeared in front of her.

"I've met the Queen."

Xu Liangyu bowed politely, and Xia Xizhi stepped forward and pulled her up.

The moment he touched her hand, Xia Xizhi's eyes changed slightly, and then he said calmly,

"Deputy Commander Xu, please stand up. I heard this morning that you were promoted to deputy commander. You are truly a heroine. Congratulations."

Xia Xizhi was not surprised at all to hear that Xu Liangyu was promoted to deputy commander for her meritorious service. Her abilities were more than just that of a mere deputy commander.

The current commander of the Imperial Guard, Xiong Meng, was no good. Xu Liangyu must have used some trickery to get him to the position of deputy commander so quickly under his command. Xiong Meng was cunning, but in front of this female general, he was probably just a rookie.

"It is also thanks to the support of the Empress," Xu Liangyu said modestly.

The two exchanged a few polite words and then left.

After getting on the sedan chair, Xia Xizhi spread out his right hand, looked at the note in his palm, and squinted his eyes.

Xu Liangyu gave her a message. Could it be that something happened to the Xia family?

After opening the note and seeing what was written on it, Xia Xizhi's expression suddenly changed.

The note said that Wei Qingdai's maid had gone to see Yan Sili, and her people overheard the maid mentioning the Si family, and also mentioned that the Si family's confiscation and extermination of the clan was related to the Xia family...

The Si family, the most powerful family in the Great Zhou Dynasty at that time, whose wealth, status and reputation were unmatched.

Unfortunately, all nine clans were wiped out overnight, and blood flowed like a river, which is really sad.

It turns out that Yan Sili is actually the orphan of the Si family...

No wonder he said he no longer had nine clans. This was not even mentioned in the original plot.

Xia Xizhi frowned slightly and stuffed the note into his sleeve.

She was really not sure whether the Xia family had anything to do with the Si family's genocide. If so, it would be really troublesome.

Someone needs to be sent to Xia Fuzhan to ask about this.

......

Night falls.

After reviewing the memorials, Zhou Yan pressed his temples and returned to the bedroom. Seeing Ruan Qingqing lying naked on the bed, he was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was he who asked Xia Xizhi to arrange this.

In the past, he wouldn't have felt anything and would have been eager to be affectionate with Ruan Qingqing, but his face darkened and he pursed his lips.

Xizhi is so obedient...

This made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

When Ruan Qingqing saw someone coming in, she immediately pretended to have just woken up and cried out softly.

"Brother Yan... Qingqing accidentally fell asleep. Qingqing will get up and serve Brother Yan..."

"Oh, no, no, Qingqing is not wearing any clothes..."

Ruan Qingqing stood up as if she had just remembered something and quickly got back into the quilt.

Despite her shy performance, Zhou Yan was completely absent-minded and showed no desire at all.

All he could think about was Xia Xizhi, and he was very upset.

Is she pretending today...

Why didn't he see Qingqing getting angry or disappointed when he asked her to sleep with him?

Could it be that she discovered the bowl of contraceptive soup I sent her today?

Zhou Yan was both irritated and guilty.

Forget it, he should just go and coax her.

"My dear, there are just too many things to do in court today. I am a little tired. You should go back first. Come, carry Ruan Da Ying back."

Ruan Qingqing's expression was almost unbearable.

what?

If she was carried back like this, Zhang Xiuchun would definitely laugh at her to death!

Besides, she needs to get pregnant with a prince as soon as possible. Zhou Yan was absent-minded last time and didn't touch her this time. The beauty pageant will be held in a few days. It will take her a long time to get pregnant with a prince!

Ruan Qingqing gritted her teeth, opened the quilt and threw herself into Zhou Yan's arms, her eyes red as she said delicately,

"Brother Yan, do you not like Qingqing anymore..."

.......

the other side.

Xia Xizhi had just gone to bed when Yan Sili suddenly appeared at the end of her bed like a ghost, his face gloomy and unclear.
