There was silence in the room for a while, Ye Zi's heart beat so fast that it seemed as if his chest would burst out.Gu Yan looked deeply into his eyes with downcast eyes, wanted to continue to say something, but held back.

You can't act too hastily, if you accidentally scare this little confused, the loss outweighs the gain.

Gu Yan didn't say anything more, just sat down and sipped tea quietly.After a while, the door was pushed open again, and a man dressed in black walked in leisurely.

Pei Ge walked up to Gu Yan and bowed to him: "My lord, I've been waiting for a long time."

Gu Yan responded, then turned to Ye Zi and said, "Go out and wait for me first."

Ye Zi's eyes lit up: "Then can I..."

He came all the way just now, and saw a lot of novelties. Anyway, Gu Yan is busy now, and he is idle, so why not go and have a look.

"No—" Knowing what he wanted to say, Gu Yan refused without even thinking about it.Before he could speak, Ye Zi pursed his lips lightly and gave him a longing look.

Gu Yan paused, and temporarily changed his words when he reached the edge of his mouth: "Okay, I will give you a little time to burn incense, and pay attention to safety."

Ye Zi immediately beamed and said, "Deal!"

Ye Zi went out happily, and Pei Ge couldn't help but chuckled softly when the door was closed.

Gu Yan asked him: "What are you laughing at?"

Instead of restraining himself, Pei Ge became more presumptuous: "Naturally, I am laughing at the prince."

Gu Yan frowned, Pei Ge said: "Earlier I heard that the prince is going to get married, but I still don't believe it. After all, there have been many rumors in the market recently that the prince's marriage is fake, and it is true that he does not want to accept the marriage bestowed by the Holy One. There are so many twists and turns, it is clear that the prince himself is deeply trapped and cannot extricate himself."

"It's so deep... Pei Ge, how dare you laugh at me." Gu Yan snorted coldly, but there was no annoyance in his eyes.

Pei Ge hurriedly begged for mercy: "The grassroots dare not."

Gu Yan said: "Forget it, let's talk about the business. How is the progress of the things I asked you to do earlier?"

Pei Ge restrained his joking expression, and replied: "There are not many relevant records about the plague in Chang'an 20 years ago. I have found a few people who survived the plague and got some results. However, It will take time for me to thoroughly find out the source of the epidemic and how to deal with it."

"You can ask what you need, but I don't want to wait too long."

Pei Ge was silent for a while, and replied: "Yes."

Gu Yan looked up at him: "What do you want to say?"

Pei Ge said: "My lord, are you suspecting that the plague 20 years ago...was someone premeditated?"

Gu Yan narrowed his eyes and did not answer.

Twenty years ago, a terrible plague spread in Chang'an. Even Gu Yan's biological father, His Royal Highness the former crown prince, died of illness in that epidemic.If the plague was premeditated, there may be many things involved in it.

Pei Ge hesitated for a moment, then said: "My lord, maybe there are some things that shouldn't be said here, but...you should understand that it has been 20 years since you checked these things under the nose of today, even if you found them out, What can you do?"

"...some things, maybe it's better not to know than to know."

Gu Yan glanced at him, and said quietly: "You worry too much, what this king wants is not this."

"What I want is the root cause and solution of the epidemic."

On the streets of Chang'an, it's rare for Ye Zi to come out to let the wind go, and see everything fresh.Look at the gadgets sold at the stalls here, and taste the freshly baked pastries there, having a great time.

From playing on the street to the end of the street, Ye Zi looked at several stalls in a row, all of which sold some rouge, vermilion hairpins, silk and satin, few of which caught his eye.

At the end of the street, there are buskers walking around the streets, attracting many passers-by to gather around, and the crowd erupts from time to time to play and cheer.When Ye Zi walked over, the performance had already ended, and the busker was packing up the guys.

Seeing Ye Zi approaching, the cockatoo in the cage suddenly shouted: "Good luck, sir!"

Ye Zi's eyes lit up.

The whole body of this parrot is white, except for the phoenix crown on its head which is light yellow, its long tail hangs down, and a pair of blue eyes look radiant and beautiful.

Ye Zi looked at those blue eyes for a moment, then stroked the parrot's feathers through the birdcage, and the parrot said again: "Your wish!"

The entertainer finally noticed Ye Zi's existence: "Go, go, don't touch randomly, it will bite."

The more Ye Zi looked at the parrot, the more he liked it, and asked, "Do you sell this parrot?"

The busker glared at him: "How can I make money after selling it? Don't sell it."

Ye Zi persisted, "I'll offer you a high price, so you can sell it to me."

"High price? Yes." The busker laughed mockingly, and said, "I bought this parrot for ten taels of shadows. These years of training and feeding, I can earn hundreds of dollars a day for me. If you want to buy it , OK, 200 taels, I'll give it to you."

"How about it, young master, can you afford it?"

The parrot yelled at the right time: "Young master is generous!"

Ye Zi: "..."

Ye Zi frowned, and said dissatisfiedly, "A parrot costs 200 taels, you're too—wait, don't go."

Seeing that the entertainer wanted to leave, Ye Zi hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Brother, I really like this little guy, 200 taels is 200 taels, but I don't have that much money, I'll give you an IOU, turn back Can you pay me back?"

The entertainer immediately changed his face: "If you can't afford it, get out, and even issue an IOU. If you run away, where can I find someone? Get out, don't delay the young master to catch up."

"Hey, you—"

The dispute between the two attracted many passers-by to point and point. In a restaurant not far behind, two men were sitting opposite each other drinking.

Hearing the noise on the street, Xiao Min looked down: "What's going on down there, why is it so noisy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was taken aback for a moment, and immediately recognized Ye Zi in the crowd.

Gu Xun followed his gaze and looked over: "That man...isn't he a servant in the imperial brother's mansion?"

Xiao Min responded with a complex look in his eyes.

When he was in Prince Rui's Mansion, he had asked Gu Yan to beg for this person as a joke. At that time, the joke meant more, but he didn't expect that Gu Yan would turn his face off.

Xiao Min is the only son in his family, he always has what he wants.If Gu Yan gave him the person directly that day, his interest might fade within two days.

But this person didn't get his hands on it, but instead made him miss it.

After Xiao Min returned to the mansion, he always unconsciously thought of the young man in Prince Rui's Mansion, the more he thought about it, the more he liked it, and he lost interest in looking at the beautiful girl in the fence.He originally wanted to find an opportunity to go to Prince Rui's Mansion to check on Gu Yan's mouth, but he didn't expect to be bumped into by him on the street today.

Ye Zi spoke dryly, the entertainer just refused to sell the parrot to him.

The busker didn't want to entangle with him anymore, so he gave him a hard push.Ye Zi was the only one who couldn't stand still, staggered, and was stabilized by someone behind him who stretched out his arms to wrap around his waist.

Ye Zi turned around and happened to see Xiao Min's playful face.

Xiao Min asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's you?" Ye Zi hurriedly pushed the person away, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Shizi Xiao."

Xiao Min didn't care, and turned to ask the busker: "What's going on?"

Xiao Min went to the street with his attendants, and a group of people came to this place, and they almost wrote the three big characters Yuwangfu on their faces.

The busker knew Xiao Min, and he was immediately persuaded: "This young man wants to buy a villain's parrot, but he has no money with him, so we..."

"Parrot?" Xiao Min looked back at Ye Zi, and asked softly, "Do you want this?"

Ye Zi was chilled by his eyes, and didn't reply.

"It's just a bird, what's the fuss about it." Xiao Min smiled nonchalantly, and said to the entertainer, "I bought this bird, you go back to Prince Yu's Mansion to get 500 taels of silver."

The busker immediately smiled: "Yes, thank you, my son."

Ye Zi was a little bit sorry: "My lord, you don't have to be like this."

"Why don't you have to do this?" Xiao Min moved closer to Ye Zi ambiguously, "500 taels, and I am not short of money in Prince Yu's Mansion. If you feel sorry, accompany me for a drink, it can be counted as a thank you."

His voice was frivolous, and the corners of Ye Zi's eyebrows twitched, almost unable to resist the urge to beat him up.

Just as Xiao Min was about to put Ye Zi's shoulders on his shoulders, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind the two of them and tightly grasped his wrist.With a slight twist of that hand, Xiao Min let go in pain.

Before Ye Zi came back to his senses, he was pulled by a tyrannical force, and was directly pulled into an embrace.

Xiao Min bared his teeth in pain, and cursed: "Which bloody bastard——"

When he raised his head, he met Gu Yan's cold eyes.

"...Zi Cheng?"

Gu Yan said coldly: "What are you doing?"

Quickly recovering from the misfortune, Xiao Min rubbed his wrists and waved away the attendants who were almost rushing forward: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be so nervous."

He looked at Gu Yan, and smiled slyly: "Zicheng, since you have seen it, then I will not hide it. I just like him, so you can give him to me. I will definitely treat him well."

Bringing up the old matter again, Xiao Min's idea is very simple.

Gu Yan rejected him before, most likely because he couldn't get used to his promiscuous appearance that always provokes others.It's just a servant in the family, with Gu Yan and his friendship of more than ten years, there is nothing to let go of.

Xiao Min thought of this, and expressed his determination: "To be honest, I really like him, and I have been thinking about him since I saw him at your house last time. You see how destined we are, and we can meet each other just by strolling in the street. Come on, this is a match made in heaven, you can't beat a mandarin duck with a stick."

Every time he said a word, Gu Yan's arms around Ye Zi became tighter, and the anger in it was self-evident.

Ye Zi looked pitifully at this son who would not die if he did not do anything.

Poor child, he doesn't even know who he is looking for from Gu Yan.

Sure enough, Gu Yan laughed back in anger, and said softly: "I like him? I've been thinking about him since we met last time? Is it a match made in heaven?"

"Yes... yes." Xiao Min sensed something was wrong with his tone, and replied with a guilty conscience, his gaze moved down slowly, and only then did he notice Gu Yan's hand wrapped around Ye Zi's waist.

He was startled, vaguely aware of something, his heart suddenly turned cold: "You you you—you... who is he??"

Gu Yan smiled: "I'll tell you who he is."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to lift Ye Zi's chin, and kissed it fiercely.

The author has something to say: Ye Zi: Are you getting angry or taking advantage of the opportunity?

Gu Yan: Of course it is to take advantage.

Xiao Shizi: ... I have endured torture that I shouldn't have to endure at this age [grievance.jpg]
