Dangerous Intimacy [Quick Transmigration]

When Xu Yang woke up from his sleep, the clouds and snow disappeared outside.The evergreen cypress tree leaning against the study bears heavy snowdrifts, and bluebirds spread their wings and fly over, shaking off the frost of the night.

After Xu Jingshi came back from the palace, he followed Qin Jingyuan to guard in the main house of Qingyun Courtyard. It was like this for two days and one snowy night before they heard the news that Xu Yang had woken up.

"Yang'er, do you feel uncomfortable?" Qin Jingyuan sat sideways on the side of the bed, carefully blowing the sweet porridge in the cold bowl.

"No..." Xu Yang opened his mouth and forced a sound, only to find that his voice was very hoarse.Qin Jingyuan stuffed his mouth with a spoon and said, "You've slept for two full days and two nights, and you haven't eaten a single grain of rice, so don't waste your energy."

Xu Yang nodded and calmed down.When the porridge bowl was bottomed out, he had to look around intermittently.The place where he slept was in the Nuan Pavilion in the study, and nothing was moved, except for a screen that blocked him.

Not seeing the dreamer, his eyes darkened slightly, and he quickly looked back at Qin Jingyuan, "Aniang, what's wrong with me?"

Remembering what the doctor said, Qin Jingyuan blinked and replied, "Yang'er was just overworked, and then received some stimulation, like a tight string suddenly snapping, and he collapsed directly."

At this time, Xu Jingshi confirmed that the guards guarding in the dark had retreated ten steps away, closed the doors and windows, and walked over and said, "Although I don't know who is the person who held Yang'er hostage the night before, but he is still concerned about the general's residence for the time being." It’s not an enemy, but the situation in the palace is more serious.”

When the other party finished the first half of the sentence, Xu Yang looked at Qin Jingyuan in a daze, only to get a helpless shrug in response. "What happened in the palace?" He turned serious when he heard the last.

"Your Majesty was assassinated, it was said that it was caused by a fox demon, but later many people said that what they saw was hallucinations, so the conclusion of this matter depends on the investigation results of the Secretary of the Imperial City." Xu Jingshi briefly talked about the process of the birthday party the day before yesterday. Turn around and ask back: "The relatively more important thing now is the people who stay with His Majesty. Yang'er, have you had any contact with that Miss An who doesn't know her origin?"

"Fox demon..." Xu Yang murmured softly, his head lowered in thought, until Xu Jingshi called again, and he returned to his senses and continued: "Yang'er and Miss An have only met once in private, that woman is indifferent to fame and wealth, It seems that he has been recuperating after entering the palace."

Xu Jingshi frowned, and said: "People in the palace also spread rumors that His Majesty intends to bring her into the harem, but the other party refused every time. But judging from the current situation in the palace, this woman did not enter the palace by accident."

"Why did father say that?"

"After His Majesty was assassinated, even Physician Lu was helpless, but Ms. An said she could heal her."

Qin Jingyuan brought a tea tray and poured a cup of tea for both of them. Hearing this, she interjected, "Why can't it be that woman with extraordinary talent?"

Xu Jingshi took the teacup, nodded and said: "It is indeed possible, but Your Majesty hastily summoned a charlatan into the palace last night to discuss in detail the recent civil servants who have fallen ill one after another. Afterwards, the charlatan wrote a prescription, and several imperial physicians didn't think that prescription could cure the disease. At this time, Miss An said that the prescription was just a few typos." Xu Jingshi paused for a moment, and his forehead was a little dignified, "This morning, the palace boiled medicine and sent it to the mansion of the sick civil servant. If it can be cured, this harem will really change. So Yanger, you and this Ann The girl touched, did you really find something wrong?"

Xu Yang, who sat upright on the bed, grabbed the quilt tightly and narrowed his eyes, "Father, do you know the name of that charlatan?"

"My father has sent someone to investigate secretly, but that person should be a character who appeared out of thin air, named Liu Jiang."

After hearing this, Xu Yang suddenly moved his body to get out of bed, Qin Jingyuan was startled, supported him and said, "What's the matter, this is, please slow down."

"I seem to have seen this name somewhere."

"No hurry." Xu Jingshi also stood up at once, "As long as we can find out the background of that woman and prove that her intentions are wrong, Your Majesty will not be fooled."

Qin Jingyuan watched nervously as Xu Yang trot to the desk to rummage through boxes, and suddenly thought of something and turned around and asked, "But I heard Miss An was invited to the birthday banquet by Concubine Zhong Guifei. It's too risky to assassinate His Majesty. The Zhong family really knows how to do it." Did you do this because you wanted to install someone next to His Majesty?"

"No, ma'am, according to the current situation, the Zhong family has absolutely nothing to do with that woman. Before the tiger sacrifice, the noble concubine had to be favored, but now that the Zhong family has suffered setbacks, it is gradually not being seen by His Majesty. After this incident, His Majesty treats the noble concubine With suspicion, the situation of the Zhong family will be even more difficult."

Qin Jingyuan: "Then Miss An, if she really worked so hard to gain His Majesty's trust, what is she going to do?"

Xu Jingshi sighed, and said worryingly: "So it is not necessary to find out the origin of the other party first. If what we assume is true, the civil servant's illness is also within the other party's plan, and the behind-the-scenes manipulator who can do this will be An enemy to be reckoned with."

The words on this side just fell, and Xu Yang dropped a large stack of documents by mistake.He leaned on the desk and squatted down, pushed away the top cover, and picked up a confidential letter submitted by his subordinates, which contained information about Yan's genealogy family.He stretched out his index finger to swipe line by line on it, and finally landed on the name of the butler of Yanfu who disappeared without a trace.

"Jiangjuliu...Liujiang." Xu Yang stood up slowly while reciting these two names silently.Inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of the anthology of ghosts on the table from the corner of his eye.

This book of his was found by his subordinates looking for a way to find it in bookstores all over the capital, and the one that Yan Chen never left was brought out from Liyan Palace.

……

After Xia Mingyu was assassinated, the palace concealed the news.However, the Secretary of the Imperial City, who was ordered to investigate the clues of the assassin, made no progress for a long time, which still made people in the palace panic for a while.

After the ban was lifted, Xia Chen went to the General's Mansion in the name of visiting.When he just stepped into the courtyard, he felt a cold but slightly fragrant air blowing towards his face, and then glanced at the two sides, and found that there were glittering ice crystals on the treetops along the wall.

"Where is the flowering tree that can survive the snow? It looks like a peach blossom." He looked under the tree and saw Xu Yang squatting quietly, quickly wrapping a thick rope around the trunk several times.

Hearing someone ask, Xu Yang's lips moved, and finally he said nonsense: "It's Yuyemei." He stood up and saluted, and then said: "I am far away from you, I don't know if Your Highness is looking for me." What's the matter?"

Xia Chen didn't know anything about flowers and plants at all, so his eyes were diverted immediately.He turned sideways, pointed to the food box in the attendant's hand, "I heard that cousin, you have been ill for a few days, and I'm here to deliver some supplements."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern." Xu Yang came slowly to take the food box, and invited him into the room.

Afterwards, Xu Yang re-burned the indoor stove, and lowered the windows on both sides.Xia Chen stared at him all the way from the main seat, and suddenly said: "Cousin, I feel that you seem to be haggard. Is the fire in the general's mansion burning so badly?"

"It's tragic. Although the west courtyard is a guest courtyard, it usually keeps the family's treasures." Xu Yang responded freely, and after closing the door and window, he sat next to the other party.

"I see, it's no wonder that my uncle was so preoccupied when I saw my uncle that night." Xia Chen was a little irritable, stirring the tea leaves in the water with the lid of the cup, and then continued after a while: "Cousin, you give me a letter of approval. Ben Gong went to Yujingxuan to wait that night, is the father really not grudges?"

Xu Yang immediately knew what the other party wanted to ask, and replied calmly: "Your Majesty is in danger, and His Highness is a relative, why can't you stay in front of the door?"

"But everyone knows very well that this palace is clearly waiting...to inherit the throne." Xia Chen's voice weakened significantly when he finished speaking.Both of them were silent, making the crackling sound of the flames very clear, and after a while, he slowly said: "The staff said that after this incident, Concubine Zhong Guifei will lose her holy grace, and even the Zhong family will be affected. The second younger brother didn't look at his father's face when he begged to see him a few days ago, but this palace and the queen mother are not much better."

"Your Majesty doesn't want to see anyone?"

"Well, I didn't even let Miss An out." Xia Chen said this, and felt more and more upset, "Miss An has stated her attitude of not being a concubine many times, but the father is still aggressive. Oh, I can see clearly , I really have to wait until my father to ask for what I love..."

"Your Highness, be careful." Xu Yang lowered his eyebrows slightly, and stopped the other party from finishing speaking at a critical moment.He then asked back: "Is Your Highness still secretly going to see Miss An these days?"

"Only a few times, how can I be so free."

Xu Yang carefully observed the other party's earnest expression, but in the end he didn't intend to reveal the Xu family's speculation. He took a deep breath and said with a light smile: "For the present plan, we should ascertain as soon as possible who those assassins who are said to be demons and hallucinations are. Who is it that must be done to break the situation, does Your Highness know where are the people invited to the imperial concubine's birthday banquet?"

"Those maikos originally hired dancers from the Huanhua Building in the capital, but after the imperial army went to arrest them, they found that the assassins came in under fake names, and only the musicians really entered the palace."

Xu Yang raised his eyes, "Then what is the origin of the musician?"

Xia Chen moved his head closer, and said in a low voice: "It is said that he is from Jiangnan, and he is quite famous. He is called Mr. Yu." Then, seeing the person opposite him frowning, he slapped his thigh, "Cousin also thinks that the musician It's suspicious, right? But what's surprising is that this musician is blind, and even saved his father in a critical moment. Without these, the Imperial City Secretary, who was eager to return to his life, would have beaten him into a trick long ago."

"What's this Mr. Yu's name?" For some reason, Xu Yang became inexplicably nervous, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

"I don't know."

"What does it look like?"

Xia Chen rolled his eyes and said, "I wasn't there at the time, but I heard from the maid's description that she looks like a fairy." He paused, and quickly added when he thought of something, "I seem to have waist-length white hair .”

Xu Yang: "..."
