How can the concubine be a lady in women's clothing!

"You said you were Zhuang Nian?!"

Lin Yan and Yu An shouted in shock at the same time, the awe and restraint towards the emperor just now disappeared for a moment, Yu An, who has always been calm and steady, lost his composure at this moment, and almost jumped out of his chair.

Fortunately, the last bit of rationality in his body fixed him on the chair, but the hand holding the armrest was so forceful that the veins suddenly popped up. He stared at Yan Zhuangze's face that was completely different from Zhuang Nian's in disbelief, and said firmly in his heart: It's Yi. Rongshu!

After being shocked, he was extremely excited. The other father of Chi Jin's child is Zhuang Nian, and Zhuang Nian is the current emperor, and Chi Jin's other identity is the emperor's concubine. What kind of fate can this inextricable connection be? make!

Moreover, since the truth is such a coincidence, does Chi Jin not have to leave, flee from his hometown to the north, and live an unaccompanied life?Besides, he still has a child to raise, so it's not easy.

The excitement in Yu An's heart has already surfaced on his face. If, if he tells Zhuang Nian about Chi Jin, that is, the current sage Yan Zhuangze, then Chi Jin will be able to come back in a short time, and he will be able to settle down under the protection of the emperor. Live a stable life, give birth to a child smoothly, and don't have to work hard in the north.

This is so good!Yu An was not used to expressing his inner emotions too clearly on his face, so he lowered his head subconsciously to stabilize his excitement, while silently thinking about how to tell Yan Zhuangze about all these coincidences.

Lin Yan on the side hadn't recovered from the shock, and stared blankly at Yan Zhuangze, unable to believe that the scholar who had dinner with him at the same table was actually the emperor.

Therefore, in Yan Zhuangze's eyes, the current scene is that one of the two people on the opposite side is only concerned about surprise, while the other bows his head in silence, not knowing what he is thinking.

After a while, Yu An clasped his hands and organized his words in his mind. After shaking hands vigorously, he raised his head joyfully. He was about to tell the truth, but was interrupted by Yan Zhuangze who suddenly spoke.

Yan Zhuangze stood up, his tall figure cast a shadow, and the pressure around him suddenly increased. Before Yu An and Lin Yan could react, he said in a deep voice, "Do you know where Jing Chi is?"

Before Yu An could speak, Lin Yan firmly shook his head to express his ignorance. He had promised Jing Chi that he would not tell anyone, not even Zhuang Nian.

Sure enough, this was the result, Yan Zhuangze felt a little disappointed, he cheered up and continued: "I believe you all know that some villains sneaked into the palace and set fire to the murder. Concubine Jin was killed and died. For the past three days, Yancheng has been sealed off to arrest the murderer."

He looked probingly at the most innocent Lin Yan, trying to see any flaws, but Lin Yan didn't know the connection between Chi Jin and Concubine Jin, nor did he think that Concubine Jin's murder had any connection with him.

So he nodded calmly: "I know, after the city gate was closed for three days, I could only stay in the temple for three days. Concubine Jin is too pitiful. I heard that she was implicated innocently."

Yu An also nodded, and it seemed that Xindao Chi Jin's plan was indeed very successful.

Seeing that he really didn't know, and Yu An's light smile showed no flaws, Yan Zhuangze's heart stopped, and he continued to throw a blockbuster|bomb.

"But Concubine Jin is not dead, and no one entered the palace to set fire! All of this is Concubine Jin's own plan to get rid of the golden cicada!" Speaking of this, Yan Zhuangze became very angry, and as soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind hit him. The wooden chair on the side, after a "click", the wooden chair fell apart.

Lin Yan was taken aback by his sudden move, and looked at him blankly, it was different from what he had heard.

Yu An's clasped hands also trembled slightly from fright, and his originally relaxed nerves suddenly tensed up. Looking at Yan Zhuangze who was furious at the mention of Concubine Jin's trick, the idea of ​​telling the truth firmly just now has begun shake.

He silently swallowed what he almost blurted out, thinking that it seems that Chi Jin's plan has actually failed, and Yancheng's investigation these days...

Immediately afterwards, Yan Zhuangze answered his doubts: "Concubine Jin has already escaped from the palace through a secret passage, and even escaped from Yancheng. Concubine Jin."

He looked at the two with good eyes, and Lin Yan suddenly realized: "So that's the case, that Concubine Jin is too bold."

Yan Zhuangze secretly dismissed Lin Yan's suspicion. This child is too innocent, but he can't act and is so realistic.

The focus was on Yu An.

His eyes froze, and all the invisible pressure went towards Yu An who was sitting, and the aura that emerged from the battlefield was like an invisible blade, powerful and full of sharpness.

Yu An was so overwhelmed by this momentum that his breath became stagnant, and the hand hidden under the wide sleeve pinched the palm of the other hand hard to stabilize his mind, forcing himself to put on his usual faint smile and face Yan Zhuangze.

Yan Zhuangze frowned fiercely. He already knew that Yu An was a tough guy. When he was Zhuang Nian, Yu An told him that he couldn't protect Jingchi. It was nonsense.

He raised his momentum again, and said in a deep voice: "To tell you the truth, I already have evidence to confirm that Concubine Jin has a child in her belly, and this child..."

He looked around Lin Yan and Yu An, and finally settled on Yu An. While Yu An was terrified, he lowered his voice and said angrily, "And this child is not mine."

Lin Yan: "Wow!"

Yu An still looked at him with a faint smile, calm, Yan Zhuangze smiled at him, and said softly: "And why did I come back to ask you about Jing Chi's whereabouts? Because all the clues showed that Concubine Jin's belly The child here belongs to Jingchi."

"impossible!"

The faint smile on Yu An's face finally failed under Yan Zhuangze's guess. He looked at Yan Zhuangze in a little shock and didn't know what to say for a moment. How did this person think of this possibility?

And all the clues point to Jing Chi, this is simply nonsense!Jing Chi is Concubine Jin, and the child in her stomach belongs to Zhuang Nian and Yan Zhuangze. How could it be possible that Concubine Jin's child is Jing Chi's?

This speculation was so false that it was impossible for Yu An to blurt out a single sentence.

Yan Zhuangze stared at him, and asked sharply, "Why is it impossible? Someone saw Jing Chi come out of Concubine Jin's palace with his own eyes, and I found Jing Chi's jade pendant at the place where Concubine Jin fled!"

As he spoke, he took out the koi jade pendant from his sleeve and placed it in front of the two of them.

"It's impossible!" Yu An retorted without thinking, frowned and looked at the familiar jade pendant, and asked sharply in dissatisfaction: "Not to mention that Jing Chi and Concubine Jin have no chance to meet each other, and Jing Chi's conduct is also very important." Don't allow him to do such scandalous things, besides, don't you know the relationship and relationship between Jing Chi and you?"

Yu An also saw Chi Jin's feelings for Zhuang Nian. He gave birth to a child for him. Part of the reason for escaping was that he was worried that Zhuang Nian would not be able to escape after being discovered. In his opinion, Chi Jin's feelings for Zhuang Nian The feelings are not shallow, now that Yan Zhuangze made such a guess because of a jade pendant, he is really chilled.

At this time, the gray tulle of the sky outside was finally lifted. The sun slowly rose from the sky, and the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, dispelling the remaining haze of the night, but it failed to dispel the heavy atmosphere in the house.

Yu An felt guilty, maybe... In Zhuang Nian's heart, his feelings for Chi Jin were not as deep as they thought?

That night when Zhuang Nian came to him with Chi Jin in his arms, Yu An still clearly remembered the anxious and worried look on his face. Chi Jin moment.

Later, he tentatively said to Zhuang Nian: You can't protect him, and Zhuang Nian swears that you can, can protect him, and protect him for the rest of his life.

He felt that at least this person would not abandon Chi Jin in a critical moment, and would definitely lend a helping hand.

But now...he wavered.

Zhuang Nian, can his feelings for Chi Jin be unswerving until death?Oh yes, he almost forgot that Zhuang Nian is also called Yan Zhuangze. Another identity of Zhuang Nian is the emperor of Yan, Yan Zhuangze.

Seeing that Yu An didn't speak, but kept staring at him, his eyes were dim, making it impossible to know what he was thinking, Yan Zhuangze asked a little anxiously: "Are you sure it's impossible?"

He knew it was impossible!Jing Chi is not that kind of person. They also agreed to express their sincerity three years later. Yan Zhuangze, who was originally depressed and restless, was now as happy as Rouang in his heart, and his excited eyes were fixed on Yu An.

I want to know the approval of others, and I want to hear the conclusion that it is impossible from others!

Looking at the familiar Zhuang Nian and the unfamiliar Yan Zhuangze in front of him, Yu An smiled ironically and disdainfully: "Of course it's impossible, so that's why you doubt him like that? You really can't protect him."

With these words again, Yan Zhuangze's boiling blood suddenly froze for a moment, then gradually cooled down, looked at Yu An coolly, and said in a dangerous tone: "I believe in him, so I want to find Jing Chi to ask It’s clear, and I think he may have followed the fleeing Concubine Jin, so I’m very worried about his comfort.”

He wanted to find Jing Chi, but he couldn't bear this feeling of suspicion anymore, and he couldn't bear that Jing Chi might be in danger in a place he didn't know. He didn't believe that guess was true, but he was afraid that it was true. Even if it was true, it didn't matter. , as long as Jing Chi will be by his side from now on...

Yan Zhuangze's eyes darkened, and the evil thoughts in his heart churned again. He could prepare an extremely gorgeous palace for Jing Chi, a pure gold chain inlaid with various precious stones...

Since you believe in him, why bother to find him?Yu An smiled disdainfully, secretly said hypocrisy, did not believe Yan Zhuangze's nonsense, and had new considerations about whether to tell the truth or not.

He didn't know how deep Jing Chi and Zhuang Nian's relationship was. If it was revealed that Jing Chi was Concubine Jin, would Yan Zhuangze choose to forgive Chi Jin or convict Concubine Jin?Judging from what happened just now, Zhuang Nian still didn't have enough affection for Chi Jin, but he was furious that Concubine Jin had lied to him, which also made Yu An inclined to think that he would convict Concubine Jin.

It's not because Concubine Jin is Jing Chi.

Moreover, it is generally unacceptable for a man to be pregnant. The few incidents in history also ended in tragedy. If Chi Jin returned to Yan Zhuangze's side and became a concubine, the common people would most likely not agree with his identity as a man and his special constitution to be able to conceive. , Some ignorant people will even demonize it.

Thinking of this possibility, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Yu An's back. Fortunately, he didn't say anything, and it almost caused a catastrophe!

If we don’t talk about the common people first, let’s talk about Yan Zhuangze first. It is difficult for a man to be pregnant, let alone the emperor of the Yan Kingdom!What would he think of the different Chi Jin?

The emperor always has more scruples than ordinary people. He not only has a family, but also a country. In the emperor's heart, China is always greater than his family. Yu An dare not hand over Chi Jin to Yan Zhuangze, and let him go to fight with the entire Yan country. Do measure.

Besides, there are countless beauties in the emperor's harem, and if a man named Chi Jin enters suddenly, what will happen to the treatment he receives?

The final result of Chi Jin is just to die alone in the palace. His child will be killed as a different kind in the end. Jealousy.

No, it shouldn't be like this. This is not the life Chi Jin should have, nor the life he wants to live.

Yu An once again denied the idea of ​​telling the truth in his heart, and said to Yan Zhuangze, "It can't be Jing Chi, and I don't know where Jing Chi is."

What about the emperor?If it wasn't for Jing Chi who saved Yu Ning and helped him hide in this small clinic, he would have been unable to survive in this world for a long time, even if he risked his life, he couldn't let Chi Jin fall into the abyss.

After planning together for so long, and finally escaped, then don't come back, freedom is the best.

Lin Yan watched the two confront each other, was too scared to speak, and shrank away in fear. Seeing that Yu An and the emperor were facing each other, he said anxiously: "It's really impossible, brother Jing is so A good one, I believe it's not him."

Yan Zhuangze glanced at him lightly, Lin Yan immediately shut his mouth and shrank aside, not daring to speak.

Yu An smiled reassuringly at Lin Yan, and then said to Yan Zhuangze with a cold face and seriousness: "Believe it or not, we really didn't know that Jing Chi was..." Where.

"Report! Report to the emperor that your subordinates have made a major discovery!"

Before Yu An could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a sudden roar.

I saw the commander of the imperial guard rushing in, knelt down on one knee in front of Yan Zhuangze and made a muffled sound, but he seemed not aware of it, and excitedly reported loudly: "Go back to the emperor, the subordinates found the person in the painting the residence!"

"Oh? Say it!" Yan Zhuangze's eyes lit up, and he asked urgently, "Quickly tell me, where are you?"

"The man hasn't been found yet." The blushing and thick-necked man swore with excitement, and spoke quickly: "But my subordinates found out that the man in the painting is named Jing Chi, and his residence is the house at the exit of the tunnel!"

Yan Zhuangze took a sudden step forward, almost reached out to grab his collar, and asked eagerly: "You said that Jing Chi lives in the house at the exit of the tunnel?"

No wonder Jing Chi's old clothes were found there, no wonder Jing Chi appeared there, and Jing Chi's jade pendant, but why didn't the hidden guards find out before?

Immediately afterwards, the leader of the imperial guard answered his doubts: "Back to the emperor, the reason why my subordinates failed to find out in time is because the owner of that house is not Jing Chi, but a man named Yu An! "

"Yu An?!" Yan Zhuangze's sharp gaze turned to Yu An who was on the side like a knife, his face was terribly ugly.

He asked in a deep voice: "You still insist on what you said, don't you know where Jing Chi is?" The house that was taken out belonged to Yu An, did Yu An know about the tunnel exit?Why does Jing Chi live there?

Yu An didn't panic: "So what if it's mine? After buying it, I don't live there, so I asked Jing Chi to live there temporarily."

The commander of the Imperial Guard who was kneeling on the ground was slightly surprised. This person in front of the emperor is Yu An?Is his news still a step behind?The emperor has already found here, so he came!What a dereliction of duty.

Yan Zhuangze stared at Yu An closely. Unfortunately, he couldn't see any flaws. He recalled his speculation about Concubine Jin's whereabouts, and said in a deep voice: "In the north, if Concubine Jin wants to choose a place to settle, she should stay away from Qing Kingdom and The north far away from Yancheng is suitable, if Jing Chi follows Concubine Jin, then he will also go to the north, do you think I am right?"

Yu An laughed but remained silent, and at the same time was shocked by Yan Zhuangze's vigilance and intelligence.

Looking at the tough Yu An, Yan Zhuangze frowned. After a moment of silence, he waved his hands and asked the hidden guards and soldiers to surround him, so as to ensure that the next words would not be overheard by others.

After letting the commander of the imperial guards lead Lin Yan down, he and Yu An were the only ones left in the room, and then slowly said: "I advise you to tell what you know, you may not know that the Qing Kingdom not only has troops in the south, they We have also deployed a large army in the north, trying to catch the country of Yan by surprise, and it won't be long before the north will fall into war."

He paused, and under Yu An's shocked and disturbed expression, he said worriedly from the bottom of his heart: "I'm very worried about Jing Chi."

For Jing Chi's sake, he didn't mind taking the risk of telling this man who was full of hatred for him important military secrets, and of course he wouldn't let Yu An tell it.

north?Qing Kingdom has troops in the north?

Yu An's knuckles trembled slightly, his pupils constricted in an instant, Jing Chi, he only had Xia Mian beside him, and there was a child in his belly, if the North really fell into a melee...

He didn't dare to think!

He swallowed quietly to relieve his dry throat due to tension, and said with difficulty: "Is what you said true?"

"It's true, I won't make fun of state affairs." Seeing him like this, Yan Zhuangze's eyes lit up, there is hope!He continued his efforts: "I don't know if they have gone to the north, but I will still lead the army to raid the north and catch the Qing country by surprise."

Yu An thought it was true, the king of a country would never lie about such a big matter, and his heart was even heavier.

He lowered his head in thought for a moment, clenched his hands hidden under his sleeves into fists, and gritted his teeth as if making a decision: "Are you going to the north?"

"Yes, and at the same time, I will track down Concubine Jin along the way to find Jing Chi's whereabouts."

Yu An looked up: "I can tell you Jing Chi's whereabouts, and what happened to him and Concubine Jin, but there is one condition."

Yan Zhuangze frowned: "You say, as long as it's not too much, I can agree."

Yu An's eyes were clear, the black in his eyes was black, and the white was white. He looked at Yan Zhuangze with persistence: "I want to follow you north."

At the same time, Chi Jin also woke up from his sleep. After putting on his coat and folding the quilt, he opened the curtain of the carriage.

Xia Mian and the coachman got up early, the carriage was gurgling forward on the dirt road, the two sides were not densely forested, and as the first ray of sunlight hit the ground in the morning, the forest also woke up , All kinds of small animals run around inside.

This is a forest full of vitality that Chi Jin has never seen before. Squatting on the shaft of the carriage and taking a deep breath, the air seems to be filled with morning dew, and there is a smell of moist soil and leaves.

It was so fresh that it cleared up a sleepy head all night. Looking at the loudly nominated birds flying around his head, Chi Jin relaxed and stretched his upper limbs.

It's nice here.

Seeing that Chi Jin woke up, Xia Mian quickly asked the coachman to stop by the side of the road, got up and went to the carriage to take out a small package and said, "My lord is awake, let's go have breakfast."

Chi Jin nodded and said considerately, "From now on, you don't have to wait for me when you're hungry." Especially the coachman was exhausted driving a carriage.

The three of them walked to a clear stream not far away to wash, stepped on the soft green grass, Chi Jin took the mouthwash brush handed over by Xia Mian, brushed his teeth carefully with a small brush that was not soft, and raised his eyes to look at The lush green forest in front of you.

It turns out that there are really so many small animals in the woods, such as squirrels jumping on the branches, fish swimming in the water that can be seen at a glance, and fat hares poking their heads in the grass not far away...

Chi Jin's eyes lit up, he rinsed his toothbrush with water, excitedly revealed the sleeve arrows on his wrist, and said in a low voice, "Don't move, I'll go and shoot rabbits, and I'll make red-braised rabbit meat for you at noon today !"
