The passerby who doesn't have a word in the book

"Master, we are here."

Xie Fanghan sat in the car and remained silent for a long time.

After the carriage turned a certain corner, it seemed that it suddenly drove from the majestic capital to the bank of the Qinhuai River. Noisy voices entered the carriage from all directions, and Xie Fanghan could smell the strong smell of rouge and gouache through the curtain of the carriage.

She suddenly regretted her decision...

The carriage had been parked in place for quite a while, Xie Fanghan listened to the woman's voice outside, loud and sometimes small, gritted his teeth, opened the curtain and jumped down.

Xie Fanghan lowered his head and walked quickly to the Huameng Tower in front of him. The Guigong at the door was soliciting other guests. Xie Fanghan saw the timing and took two steps at a time. It seemed that he was about to enter the door through the gap. Lu Xiang suddenly shot out from a tricky angle, blocking Xie Fanghan's way.

"Oh~ This young man looks very unfamiliar. It's the first time to come to our Huamenglou. Tell me, Lingjie, what kind of girl you like. Lingjie promises to arrange for you properly~"

Xie Fanghan glanced at the beautifully dressed woman who claimed to be "Sister Ling", and took a step back to distance herself from her.

"I'm here to find someone." Xie Fanghan said bluntly.

Sister Ling smiled even more. The round fan embroidered with pictures of beauties was being dexterously played with in her white and boneless hands. A pair of seductive almond eyes scanned Xie Fanghan back and forth. The idea of ​​shaking goosebumps stood still and let her look at it.

"Young master, you are right. People who come to my Huamenglou are naturally looking for someone. Could it be that they are here for dinner?" Sister Ling performed Tai Chi, and then threw the conversation back to Xie Fanghan.

"I'm here to find my father, Xie Mingyuan."

Xie Fanghan lost his patience, the smell of wine and the miscellaneous aroma mixed together and drilled into her nasal cavity vigorously, her head would explode when she smelled it. More or less, some Acacia medicine will be added. Xie Fanghan stepped into this place for the first time, and he has no "resistance" to this smell.

When Sister Ling heard Xie Fanghan say that name, she immediately suppressed the charming smile on her face, and stared at Xie Fanghan's face carefully for a long time before speaking again.

"Come with me." After speaking, regardless of Xie Fanghan's reaction, he turned around and entered Huamenglou.

Xie Fanghan frowned, hesitated for a moment, and followed in.This place was found by Uncle Fu early in the morning. It is said that Xie Mingyuan is resident in Wenrou Township. There should be no mistake, but the reaction of the old bustard just now is really worth pondering.

The interior of Huameng Building is a back-shaped structure. There is an exaggeratedly decorated stage in the middle of the first floor. It was after walking the entire Huamenglou that I finally stood still in front of a single room on the third floor.

knock knock knock.

Three very rhythmic knocks on the door.

"Come in."

The people inside responded lazily.

Sister Ling raised her hand and pushed open the door to enter the room, but Xie Fanghan waited a long time outside the door to follow. Although she didn't hear clearly through the door, Xie Fanghan could tell that it wasn't Xie Mingyuan who answered just now.

The charm of articulation is different.This has nothing to do with whether you are drunk or not, it is entirely a personal habit.

Sister Ling saw that Xie Fanghan didn't keep up, not only did she not have any doubts, but her expression became a lot more relaxed, and the smile on her face became more sincere along the way.

"That's right." Sister Ling nodded slightly, lowered her voice and said quickly, "It's just a trick, follow up."

Xie Fanghan subconsciously stroked his lower back when he heard the words, and then stepped forward to follow.

She wants to see what kind of tricks this cheap father is playing today.

From the outside, this single room looked no different from other rooms, but Xie Fanghan became more startled as he walked in. The depth of this room was almost as deep as two ordinary rooms.

Another screen was bypassed, and the interior decoration style changed suddenly, from an ambiguous and exaggerated brothel to an elegantly furnished study room. Sister Ling stood aside and pulled a switch on the wall after Xie Fanghan stepped in. The loud voice of the machine reverberated throughout the room, and a stone wall slowly fell from behind Xie Fanghan, completely isolating the hustle and bustle outside.

Sister Ling raised her hand, her tone was serious and no longer provocative, "Please."

With one hand behind his back, Xie Fanghan walked forward calmly, while watching the six roads and listening to all directions, paying attention to the movement around him.

This is probably the most unique darkroom Xie Fanghan has ever seen. If it wasn't for the lack of windows, she would have wondered if it was two connecting rooms.

"A rare visitor." Xie Mingyuan's voice suddenly came from behind.

Xie Fanghan reacted quickly, turned around and took a step back, staring at the visitor with cold eyes.

Xie Mingyuan raised his eyebrows, walked to the side and sat down nonchalantly.

Sister Ling stepped forward, bowed respectfully and called, "Master."

Xie Mingyuan waved his hand, poured himself a cup of tea, and said without raising his head, "You just sent someone to send a message saying that my son is coming. I thought it was some new code. I didn't expect that it was my son who came."

Sister Ling replied rather helplessly, "My subordinates were not sure at first, but there are not many places where my master's eyebrows and eyes resemble yours, and I really can't tell if I don't look carefully."

Xie Mingyuan has standard feather eyebrows and peach blossom eyes, while Xie Fanghan has sword eyebrows and red phoenix eyes. Just looking at the eyebrows and eyes, the two of them can't be related. Fortunately, Xie Fanghan's lip shape and face shape are like Xie Mingyuan, otherwise Sister Ling really wouldn't dare to draw her in. .

When Xie Mingyuan, who was drinking tea with his head down, heard this, he suddenly raised his head to look at Xie Fanghan, and bent his mouth with just one glance, even with a smile in his tone, "Yeah, unlike me, I follow her mother's eyebrows and eyes."

Hearing these words, Xie Fanghan felt an electric current rush through her heart, making her numb. She felt as if she had caught something, but before she could think about it, Xie Mingyuan's next words distracted her.

Xie Mingyuan went straight to the point: "You came to me, did you have the answer to the previous question?"

Hearing this, Xie Fanghan's puzzled expression suddenly became serious.

"There is an answer."

Xie Fanghan's voice was not loud, but his tone was very firm.

Xie Mingyuan smiled and looked at Xie Fanghan with a serious face, just like the father and son looked at each other in Winter Garden that day. The difference is that today's Xie Fanghan is no longer hesitant, and gave her answer loudly.

"Yes."

……

Emperor Yan wanted to add drama to Qiu Wei on a whim. The princes and princesses were in chaos, and even the ministers who responded were caught off guard. , It's a pity that the sky didn't come true. No one expected that after half a month of busy work, the fifth princess Yan Yutang, who had always been quiet, won the first place.

Yan Yutang was also quite surprised when she learned of this result. In all honesty, although the questions she gave were not too bad, they were not able to overwhelm the others. With so many supporters around her, her other five brothers and sisters were full of talent. It is impossible not to come up with a good topic if you grab a lot of them.

But since it was decided by Emperor Yan himself, then no matter what, she will be the top bird this time, and she will be the one if she is not.

"Fifth Highness, this is a reward from His Majesty's old slave."

Yan Yutang, who had just returned to Tangyuan and was still sitting on the chair, glanced at the attendants who could not see her head outside, and then at the eunuch who was standing in front of her, nodded slightly and said, "Eunuch Liu, please."

Eunuch Liu lowered his body even lower, and the smile on his face grew stronger, "Your Highness Fifth, please don't bully this old slave, these are what old slaves should do."

It took nearly half an hour for the attendants to come and go in and out of the Tang Garden before they moved all the things that Emperor Yan had given them. Eunuch Liu didn't stay for too long, and after all the gifts were delivered, he bowed to Yan Yutang and said goodbye.

The attendants retreated, taking away the lively atmosphere in Tangyuan just now.In the front hall, before Yan Yutang could figure out what was going on today, Mingyue, who was originally taking inventory, rushed over in a hurry.

"Your Highness, something has happened." Mingyue handed over a piece of letter paper with a serious expression.

Yan Yutang took it, quickly glanced at the content inside, and her face immediately sank.

Seeing this, Mingyue handed over another brocade handkerchief, and Yan Yutang took it with an even uglier face. It was Wei Nanyan's handkerchief.

Mingyue continued: "The letter paper and brocade handkerchief were sent by the arrows. The hidden guards have already gone to chase them. The slaves are bold. After reading the contents of the letter, they immediately came to look for His Highness."

Yan Yutang didn't have any expectations for the hidden guards to chase people. The harem is as deep as the sea, and she dared to send letters in such an arrogant way, which shows that she has nothing to worry about. She is more worried about the content of the letter now. Yan Huang's reward is only half an hour At this time, someone in the harem attacked his own people.

coincide?It was still premeditated.

Yan Yutang didn't have time to think deeply, and quickly told Mingyue, "Prepare the car, I'm going out of the palace."

Mingyue, who has always been quick to do things, hesitated a little this time, "His Royal Highness, this is the time to leave the palace..." It was getting late, and the gate of the palace would be closed in two hours. It will take more than half an hour, this time is really too tight.

Yan Yutang waved her hand, and said firmly, "I know, you go and arrange it." She naturally knew that time was very tight, and if nothing unexpected happened, she couldn't believe everything in the letter, or it was just a trap, but It was about Wei Nanyan, she dared not take chances.

This is the only friend she has been able to make friends with in these years.

Ming Yueben just mentioned it, seeing that His Royal Highness is so firm, she didn't say much, and immediately turned around and went down to make arrangements.

Because of Emperor Yan's reward, Tangyuan became the focus of attention in the palace, and all forces were waiting for opportunities in the dark and dark places, but Emperor Yan who caused such a situation did not take any action.

Yan Huangyi took over the Datong at the age of 12. Although he has not made great achievements in his reign for nearly [-] years, he is also a good emperor with integrity and reason. As he grew up, the undercurrent in the court became more and more turbulent. He saw it in his eyes, but he felt powerless.

He is already old, even though he looks energetic on the surface, but the energy inside is getting worse day by day.

The matter of canonizing the crown prince has already been talked about by the courtiers of all parties, but he just didn’t take any action for a long time, not because he didn’t want to, but because he really didn’t know who to establish. I'm afraid that if they can't even be a conservative king, the remaining few children are either too mediocre or not wise enough.

Take Qiu Wei's additional questions this time as an example. Although he didn't give them much time, it was enough time for them to find "foreign aid".

Chun Wei and Qiu Wei selected talents for the imperial court, and the selected talents were for the entire Yan Kingdom, not for his royal family, but among the six answer sheets, only one was from the perspective of the people's livelihood. For a while, Emperor Yan didn't even know whether to be happy or sad.

"His Majesty."

Sitting motionless in the Golden Dragon Hall, Emperor Yan stared at the six papers on the table, and only after hearing Eunuch Liu's voice did he slowly regain his senses.

"I'm back." Yanhuang's tone was a little tired, and he would only indulge a little in front of this confidant who had been with him all his life.

Eunuch Liu bent slightly to answer, "Yes."

Yan Huang: "How about that child?"

Eunuch Liu replied truthfully: "The Fifth Highness is very calm."

Yan Huang smiled lightly and shook his head, "Follow her mother and concubine."

Eunuch Liu also responded with a smile when he heard the words, "Isn't that right, that temperament is almost carved out of the same mold as Concubine Shu."

Thinking of that elegant woman like a chrysanthemum, Emperor Yan's original smile slowly sank again, and Eunuch Liu stopped talking when he saw this, and quietly waited on him.

After all, it is his own child, he will not pay no attention to it at all.Among the six children, the third princess is thoughtful but domineering and indifferent. She has the disposition to be a king but not the wisdom to be a king.The fifth princess is extremely intelligent but weak in nature. She has the ability to be a king but does not have the heart to be a king. The most helpless thing is that the two children he thinks can succeed are all daughters.

Hey, is God going to kill him!

……

"How long?" Yan Yutang asked again.

"Go back to Your Highness, we will be there in two more streets." The dark guard driving the car replied.

Yan Yutang put down the curtain of the car when she heard the words, frowned and continued to sort out the context of the whole matter. It can be said that everyone in Xijing knew about the fact that she and Wei Nanyan had made friends, but how dare they openly tie people up at the feet of the emperor? She really couldn't think of such a crazy thing.

No, no, instead of thinking about whether the other party has taken the courage of Xiongxin Leopard, it is better to say that the other party has pinched her fatal spot, and the other party is sure that she will definitely risk herself for Wei Nanyan.

After figuring this out, Yan Yutang's heart was half relieved. If it was really because of herself that she hurt Wei Nanyan, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"Your Highness, we are here." The voice of the dark guard came from the front.

Yan Yutang took a deep breath to calm down her emotions, got up and got out of the car.Although Yan Yutang grew up in Xijing, it was the first time she had been to such a lonely and barren alley.

The accompanying hidden guards guarded her in the middle, and walked cautiously to the courtyard mentioned in the letter. The dilapidated gate was kicked open by the leading hidden guard, and Yan Yutang glanced at her from the gap between the hidden guards in front of her. Looking at the interior of the yard, it is very empty, and it doesn't look like it is inhabited.

"Is anyone there?" The leader of the hidden guards shouted into the room.

The answer was a feathered arrow. This arrow seemed to be a signal, and then the sky filled with feathered arrows shot from all directions...

The dark guard shouted: "Protect Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness..."

When Yan Yutang woke up, her sore neck made her frown uncomfortably, the fragrance of Ningshenxiang lingered in her nose and silently soothed her emotions, and the darkness in her eyes made her subconsciously look to the side light source.

Turning her head, she realized that there was someone else in the room. That person was sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals, with his head resting on one hand and his eyes closed tightly. The moonlight came in from the window and just fell on him. soft.

"Thank you Fanghan." Yan Yutang gently parted her red lips.

The strange environment, the strange fragrance, all these strange things turned into peace of mind after she called out this name.
