Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, his eyes paused for a moment on her hand holding his sleeve, then he turned his eyes away, frowned and said, "Now is not the time yet."
"why?"
"If you and the Empress Dowager suddenly disappear together now, Gu Heng will easily find out and send someone to chase after you, and then you won't be able to leave.
So I have to wait until the day of his big wedding, that day is the busiest time, the palace people and the imperial guards are too busy, all the attention is on the empress, and I don't care about other things, you and the empress dowager Day walk will be easier.
And when you were discovered, you also ran to a safe place. "Xiao Yan explained.
"It seems that there is indeed some truth." A Tuo Jiang Hua said nah.
"Don't worry, I will let you leave here anyway." Xiao Yan gave a sigh of relief, then thought of something, and asked, "By the way, I just heard the cry of a baby in your palace. What's going on?"
As he said that, he couldn't help but look at her stomach, paused, and jokingly said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, so you just gave birth to a baby?"
A Tuo Jiang Hua was stunned for a moment, and then gave him a rude look, "Are you a pig? How can I have a baby by myself?"
Being scolded as a pig, Xiao Yan was not only not angry, he was inexplicably happy, and jokingly said: "Don't worry, when you leave the palace, you will have a lot of opportunities to have children."
A Tuojiang pinched his arm angrily, "What, I didn't say I was going to have a baby."
Xiao Yan hissed when he was pinched, this girl is really rude.
What he didn't say was that after leaving the palace, she would have to go back to Xinjiang before anyone would want her.
"It's late, then you should rest earlier, I'm leaving." He pulled away her hand, knelt down to remove the floor tiles, and jumped down.
Looking at the man who walked away without looking back, Atuo Jianghua was inexplicably lost.
She squatted at the entrance of the tunnel, staring at the dark tunnel in a daze.
At this moment, Xiao Yan went back and forth, "By the way, before you brought the Empress Dowager here that day, try to send the palace people away first."
A Tuo Jiang Hua didn't expect him to come back suddenly, a head suddenly appeared in the darkness, and she fell back to the ground in fright.
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then snorted softly, "Why are you so timid?"
Seeing that it was him, Atuo Jianghua calmed down and complained, "Who knew you would come back suddenly?"
"It's my fault, is the head office okay?" Xiao Yan said helplessly, "Do you remember what I just said?"
A Tuo Jiang Hua nodded, "Yes, but why send everyone away?"
Xiao Yan took a deep look at her, "You are the princess of Huijiang, and you are here to marry us. If Gu Heng finds out that you ran away, you will definitely attack Huijiang."
Atuo Jianghua's heart sank, "So?"
"So on the night you leave, remember to set a fire in this room." Xiao Yan said.
A Tuo Jiang Hua's eyes lit up, "That's right, in this way, the emperor will think that I was buried in a sea of flames, and I won't be in trouble for returning to Xinjiang."
"Well, so you have to remember to send everyone away, so as not to burn innocent people." Xiao Yan reminded.
"I see." A Tuo Jiang Hua nodded, and then asked, "I want to take my two maids with me, is that okay?"
"You can arrange it yourself." Xiao Yan said.
"Duke Yasukuni, thank you." Atuo Jiang Hua said sincerely, with eyebrows bent.
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand immediately, "Okay, I'm leaving."
"You have to pay attention to your own safety." Atuo Jianghua recalled what he said earlier that he might have an accident, so he quickly lay down at the tunnel entrance and shouted anxiously.
Xiao Yan's footsteps paused, and his voice softened, "Okay." As he spoke, he suddenly looked back at her, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." After saying that, he strode away.
A Tuo Jiang Hua squatted there, it took a long time to realize, what, how could she be worried about him? How self-indulgent!
…
Sure enough, as Xiao Yan expected, Gu Heng called him to the Imperial Study Room the next day after he went to court.
"Uncle, please sit down." Gu Heng was uncharacteristically gentle, and poured him a cup of tea himself.
Xiao Yan glanced at him, sat down obediently, took a sip from the teacup, and then sighed: "The tea here is better than nephew Zeng's."
Hearing his address, Gu Heng paused for a moment, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he thought about what he was going to ask later, so he had to suppress it.
"If Uncle likes to drink it, I will send someone to deliver the tea to the Yasukuni Mansion later."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao Yan said with a smile, with a heartless look, holding a teacup, sipping the tea carefully.
A trace of impatience flashed between Gu Heng's brows, and he said with restraint: "Uncle, I heard that Grandpa Huang left a will."
"There is such a thing?" Xiao Yan was very surprised, "Why have I never heard of it? Who did you hear it from?"
Gu Heng took a look at him, as if to see if he was lying, "The imperial grandmother told me."
When Xiao Yan heard this, he sneered in his heart.
This stinky boy actually told such a lie, do you think he is an idiot
"My elder sister is really biased. Why didn't you tell me such an important matter?" Xiao Yan said angrily, then looked at Gu Heng, and said curiously, "Then tell me, what is written in the will?" ?”
Gu Heng looked at him deeply, and said word by word: "Chuan is located in Gu Linchao."
Xiao Yan showed surprise, "Really?"
Gu Heng said: "I should have asked Uncle about this."
Xiao Yan was confused, "Why do you ask me?"
"Because the will is in the hands of my uncle, if my uncle took it out and looked at it, wouldn't he know what's on it?" Gu Heng said lightly.
Xiao Yan suddenly stood up and said incredulously: "You actually think I have a will in my hand? How come I don't know about it?"
Gu Heng raised his eyes and glanced at her, and said: "This is what the emperor's mother told me. For the sake of the great cause and the stability of the country, I hope that uncle will not be favoritism, and can hand over the will to me."
Xiao Yan said helplessly: "I really don't have any will in my hand, what do you want me to give you? And if I hadn't heard the emperor talk about it today, I wouldn't even know there is any will."
Gu Heng took a look at him, and suddenly said: "Under the whole world, is it the land of the king, and the shore of the land, is it the king's minister. Those who know the current affairs are heroes, uncle, think twice."
Xiao Yan scolded him in his heart, but smiled wryly on his face: "I naturally understand this truth, and I also want to serve the emperor, but the problem is that I really don't have any will in my hand, so I ask the emperor to trust me." .”
"It seems that Uncle has not fully understood what I mean. Since that's the case, Uncle will reflect on it at the mansion these few days. When he thinks clearly, he will send someone to inform me." It is easy to doubt.
Xiao Yan sighed, "Why doesn't the emperor trust the minister?"
"I have already given you a chance." Gu Heng said, he was too lazy to talk to him any more, and shouted, "Si Luo, send Lord Jingguo back to the mansion. Assassins have been rampant recently. To ensure the safety of the Duke, Be sure to send someone to guard the Yasukuni mansion."
