Dangerous Intimacy [Quick Transmigration]

After two snowfalls, the capital was completely cloudless and foggy, and the sun was shining brightly for several days.Before you know it, half of the twelfth lunar month is over.

At dawn, Xu Yang slowly got up and got out of bed.He wrung out the veil and applied it on his face to wake up for a while, then pursed his lips and walked to the wall to set up the window.As expected, another bouquet of flowers appeared on the windowsill.

This time it's a lavender lilac, with petals that are closer to pale pink, dotted with crystal dew.

After returning from the Huanhua Building, Xu Yang almost only walked between the school grounds in the suburbs and the General's Mansion every day.He also knew very well that he was deliberately avoiding that street, staying away from that building and that person.

However, not two days later, the bouquets of bouquets swearing of existence were delivered every morning, and sometimes the residual warmth of people's hands could still be felt on the branches.Yesterday was a small platycodon flower, and the day before yesterday was a pure white gardenia. Xu Yang gradually felt that he was going to lose his mind amidst all kinds of fragrances.

Confused, he took the lilacs and went out through the corridor to the front of the study. He heard the servants sweeping the leaves in the courtyard stop what they were doing and start talking in a low voice.

"It's probably that strange white-haired man who can sneak into the general's mansion without anyone noticing."

"Speaking of which, could it be that the other party is not a human but a demon! I heard that more and more people in the palace are preferring to assassinate His Majesty to be a demon, and they have already started looking for an expert to pray for blessings."

Hearing what they said was getting closer to the truth, Xu Yang turned around helplessly, and said: "You guys, finish your duties early, and then go to the warehouse to tidy up the sundries and make room for a larger space. Today I will Going out to do some shopping."

Seeing being discovered, the servants quickly stood at attention and saluted: "Yes."

Stepping into the study room, after shielding the cold wind carrying ice crystals from the outside, Xu Yang took out another porcelain vase to arrange flowers from the cabinet, and put it on the low shelf near the window.Probably because the temperature in winter slowed down the fading of the flowers, the flowers in the past few days were still showing vitality.Xu Yang sprinkled some water with a heavy heart before returning to the desk to deal with the undecided military affairs last night.

In the past few months after returning to Beijing, the northwest border was peaceful, and the soldiers who stayed in Kongchi City often wrote to report the resettlement situation of the people.After recapturing Kongchi City, there was not much time left for the army. The violent snowstorm arrived as scheduled, directly blowing down the destroyed houses, and even flying the stockpiles of food.Fortunately, most common people are willing to retreat to the small town in the rear first, but there are not a few who insist on staying in their hometown.

Ordinarily, Xu Yang didn't need to worry about these troublesome things after the war. After all, Kongchi City is now under the command of Old General Mu, and the Xu family has retreated from the front line, leaving only a small elite.However, because Zhong Hao was detained from the commander-in-chief, the army squeezed in by the Zhong family became a headless soldier. contribute.

What Xu Yang received yesterday was a souvenir from the lieutenant general, and he cried throughout the text regardless of his image.He thought about it all night, and felt that he shouldn't confront the Zhong family at this time, so he wrote the instruction to be patient.

After writing another personal letter to Old General Mu, Xu Yang took the envelope from the edge of the desk and accidentally moved a few sheets of paper.Then he raised his eyes and saw the poems written by Yan Chen at a glance.

Tonight, He Xixi, the boat is in the middle of the stream.What day is it today, I have to be in the same boat with the prince. *

At that time, Xu Yang only thought that Yan Chen wrote this poem because of the professor of Mingli Academy, and because of Xia Chen's arrival later, the other party's careful thinking and that confession that he was not shy at all, now it seems that he can't be compared with the innocence of a child. explain.

The other party may have hinted, or even made it clear, that Xu Yang himself has become a prey.

After leaning on the back of the chair for a long time, Xu Yang stood up slowly and looked at the sky.Seeing that the time agreed with him was almost here, he walked to the center of the study, finished the cold porridge in one gulp, pushed the door and left.

***

The winter is very cold, although there is no cloud above the head, the pedestrians, carriages and horses on the street still walk very slowly.

Vivienne tucked her neck into the fur collar, only showing her perplexed little face. She never thought that the first time she left the palace was to give a follow-up visit to the powerful officials.

After running around all morning, she got off the station by the side of the road. Seeing the accompanying Manager Su anxiously confirming the location with the driver, she stepped forward and asked, "Do you want me to see the officials below the third rank one by one?" That sucks."

Manager Su looked over with a sideways look, a little nervous on his face, "Well, let's make a list of priorities for Ms. An, and you will go to the tailor shop next door to have a look." Then, he moved his hand to the side Pointing, "This is what His Majesty specifically ordered, saying that Miss An has never seen the bustling downtown since she came to the capital."

Vivienne followed suit and never turned back, "Well, I'll go and pick and choose, Mr. Su, please take your time."

How could the girl fail to see that her coming out of the palace this time was specially planned by someone, and Director Su was obviously delaying the time.Right now, fortune and misfortune are unknown, but she still did not insist on returning to the palace out of some preference.

After taking out the hand stove from the carriage, she went straight across the street to the opposite shop.Behind her, several court ladies dressed as servant girls followed quickly.

Half a quarter of an hour later, people and horses from the General's Mansion galloped up from the end of the long street. Xu Yang rode Shiye and stopped beside the palace chariot.He threw the reins to his subordinates, and approached the man wearing the head a few steps away as if by chance, "It's a coincidence that I couldn't catch up with Director Su when I entered the palace a few days ago, and I didn't want to meet him outside."

Seeing the tall figure walking calmly, Mr. Su couldn't tell whether he was at peace or flustered.He saluted Xu Yang and said with a guilty conscience, "Little General Xu, good afternoon. I heard that you were ill a while ago, how are you doing now?"

"I've been resting in bed for two days, Director Lao Su is worried..." Xu Yang looked around calmly as he spoke, and found that the other party had used two carriages, and quickly realized, "Hey, Director Su didn't go out of the palace alone Bar."

"Yes, Your Majesty ordered your servants to escort Miss An to the official residences for follow-up consultation."

At some point, the two of them gradually moved to a distance from the others.Xu Yang was sure that no one was coming, so he raised the corners of his mouth and nodded, "I see, no wonder the battle is so big—but it's more risky to meet up under the guise of this than in the palace." Xu Yang said the second half of the sentence Suddenly, the volume of the voice dropped suddenly, and there was a bit of cold light in the eyes.

Feeling the unrelenting coercion, Manager Su's palms were sweating, and he hurriedly explained: "It's not because the slaves did it on purpose, it's really because in the palace, His Majesty basically lives in Liyan Palace recently, and that thing also It will be kept by Ms. An."

"That is to say, it is difficult for you to switch?"

"Your maidservant did her best." Director Su lowered his head, not daring to look into the other party's eyes, "But...Miss An seems to have brought something with her when she came out this time."

Xu Yang was a little surprised, and then added solemnity between his brows, "Does Your Majesty trust an outsider like this?"

"Your Majesty is naturally still vigilant. This time it should be Miss An's idea, but His Majesty really didn't notice it, so this servant took this opportunity."

After hearing this, Xu Yang sighed, feeling as if even the heavens were helping.After he regained his thoughts, he nodded and said, "You don't have to worry when you go back. Your Majesty won't find out if you deal with the aftermath." After speaking, he turned his head and walked straight to the tailor shop across the street.

Seeing that someone wanted to enter through the main entrance generously, Director Su thought that the other party was going to confront him directly, so he hurriedly called him back: "General!"

Xu Yang stopped in his tracks, turned his face slowly, and let the golden light of the sun catch his profile, "Boss Su, please bring me a box of gifts for His Majesty."

After opening the heavy curtain and entering the shop, Xu Yang knew from the bribed maid that Vivian had gone to the second floor.After instructing the shop owner a few words, he walked upstairs with a food box containing pastries.

Probably the other party also intentionally created a place for a private meeting. When Xu Yang stepped up to the last step, he saw that Vivienne was the only one on the entire floor who was concentrating on picking out clothes.

He didn't let down his footsteps, and walked forward leisurely with one hand behind his back, "Miss An, if there is something she likes, the general's house can be blamed."

When the voice first rang, Vivian froze for a moment, but quickly regained her composure.The girl continued to choose along the shelf, took a moment to glance at Xu Yang, "This white one, that green one, and these two at hand..." She pointed quickly with her hand, finally looked back at Xu Yang, opened her eyes wide. Leaving the lion's mouth: "I don't want what I said before, just pack the rest in this row."

Hearing this, Xu Yang couldn't help coughing a few times, a little unexpected.

Then when he was about to speak, Vivian said again: "The little girl's joke, General Xu, don't take it seriously. And whichever dress you really like, His Majesty will reward you."

Xu Yang smiled and nodded calmly, "It's really not my turn to spend this money for Miss An."

"Your Majesty agreed first, so I must pick some clothes to go back." After Vivienne said a few words, she happened to see a rather novel skirt.She hung it on the vacant hanger next to her with bright eyes, and then turned around and came back to the business: "General Xu wants to be courteous, so I can take the pastry in your hand."

After finishing speaking, Xu Yang slowly lowered his eyelashes and looked at the food box in his hand.The pastry was brought up by Xu Yang in a flash of inspiration, to be precise, it was inspired by an inexplicable subconscious mind.

After doubting himself for a moment, he let out a breath and said meaningfully: "The pastries are for exchange."

"Okay, the little girl happens to have a priceless treasure." Vivienne's face was calm, and she was not surprised by the other party's words. The quick response even gave people the illusion that she had the initiative.The girl did not delay at all. After taking out the peachwood box from the fur coat's hidden pocket, she stuffed it into Xu Yang's hand and replaced the pastry.

Looking at the thing in the palm of his hand, Xu Yang felt that he attached his other hand to the cover unrealistically, and pressed his dry lips before opening it.

Standing in the center of the cushion is a bead with metallic luster. Xu Yang squeezed it carefully, and could feel the hardness of the bead.Just like a real copper bead, ordinary people would never think of it as an unrivaled elixir of life or a mysterious inner alchemy of the fox fairy.

Only then did he roughly understand why Yan Chen didn't take this thing back.

After closing the lid, Xu Yang bowed to the girl and said goodbye and take care.But when he was about to go down the steps, he turned around and asked, "Is that why you believe me?" He paused, recalling something, "When we first met, I wanted to ask the girl, we may meet in the northwest Pass?"

Vivienne looked over in a daze, and then smiled lightly after a long while.Facing the light, Xu Yang could see what the other party was muttering softly, but he only told him four words:

"Not in the northwest."
