Arriving at Shuixie, just after entering the door, Yanchi hugged Qin Wan.
Bai Yingmian, who was following behind, quickly lowered her head and retreated to the side outside the door to wait.
Qin Wan was hugged heavily by Yan Chi, and she also put her hand on his waist. Her arm was very strong, and her cheek fell on Yan Chi's chest. It was rare to hold Yan Chi so tightly, and Yan Chi's breath fell on Qin Wan. On the top of her head, she hugged her for a while before saying, "Wait for me here for a while, I will come when I go."
Qin Wan rubbed against his chest reluctantly, and then let him go with an "um".
She looked up at Yan Chi, but Yan Chi bent his lips towards her, "I'll ask Bai Feng to make you tea."
Qin Wan wanted to say no, but she still nodded to Yan Chi's gloomy eyes under the soft light.
Yan Chi raised his hand to brush her cheek, turned and walked out.
After Yan Chi left, the room became quiet. Fortunately, this room was his residence after returning to Beijing. There was a faint scent of plants and trees on his body, and a little bit of hustle and bustle in the room. Qin Wan looked at the room, and the water pavilion was very simple. , the front of the outer hall is adjacent to the water on the east side, and then go inside, it is estimated that it is the same.
Qin Wan didn't go into the inner room, but only walked through the Duobao Pavilion, and saw this wing room next to the water to the east, which was converted into Yan Chi's study, and Yan Chi would probably deal with business here on weekdays.
Thinking of this, Qin Wan thought of the guards with knives and several vague shadows that he saw just now.
The last time I came to Prince Rui's mansion, there was no one there, but now there are so many strangers. It is obvious that Yan Chi is already planning for the future changes. Qin Wan walked to the window of Linshui and stood still. , his eyes fell on Fuchu Neihu outside the window.
In the autumn afternoon, the gloomy sky made the entire lake look gloomy and deep, just like Qin Wan's mood at the moment. After standing for a while, Bai Feng came in with a pot of hot tea.
"Princess, please drink tea..."
Bai Feng put the teacup on the desk, poured tea for Qin Wan and said, "The mansion has been vacant for many years, and there are not many servants who can use it. If the Princess has orders, just order the villain."
Qin Wan smiled, "You don't have to worry about me, I'll wait for him here, you go to his place to serve."
Bai Feng hesitated for a moment, obviously he came here under Yan Chi's order and dared not disobey.
Qin Wan smiled, "His business is business."
Bai Feng made up his mind just after hearing the words, nodded his head, turned around and backed out.
Qin Wan withdrew his gaze, walked towards Yan Chi's desk, sat on the high open chair that Yan Chi usually made, glanced around, and saw a few old military books on the side of the desk, There were a few envelopes on the other side. Qin Wan saw that Yanchi had received a lot of news in the past few days.
Obviously, the bottom of her heart was full of hatred and anger, but even she couldn't see it.
The more dangerous, the more calm.
Qin Wan took a sip of tea from the teacup. The envelope could not be moved, but the book of war could. Qin Wan picked up the book of war and flipped through it casually, and the pages of the book habitually stopped on the middle page.
Those who are in power control power because of profit. Soldiers who, deception also.
Therefore, what can be shown is not possible, what is used can be shown not to be used, what is close can be shown to be far, and what is far can be shown to be near.
Qin Wan squinted his eyes, the temple is planning and planning, planning thousands of miles, Yan Chi can control Shuoxi's victory or defeat, may it be possible to determine the court and temple to win or lose? The capital is full of undercurrents, but when will the emperor announce the death of Prince Rui
Qin Wan closed the book of war. Although she is not as familiar with the book of war as Yan Chi, she also knows a truth. Those who are good at attacking move above the nine heavens, and those who are good at planning hide under the nine grounds. Today , Yan Chi has no soldiers in hand, in this capital where the imperial power is at its peak, there is no other way but to hide all thoughts and forces.
Qin Wan looked in the direction of the main courtyard that he had just passed by, and was suddenly worried.
With such a clear sky and bright sun, is there peace outside Prince Rui's mansion
Sitting alone in the room, Qin Wan's mind suddenly drifted far away, and after an unknown amount of time, footsteps sounded outside the door, a black shadow flashed, and Yan Chi returned.
Qin Wan came back to his senses, and quickly stood up. Yan Chi's face was still cold when he entered the door, but the moment he saw Qin Wan, his eyes softened a little, and he walked into the east chamber, and raised his hand to close the window.
The window is facing the water, and the outside is already cool and windy, and the room has a draft, making it very cool.
"All arranged?" Qin Wan asked.
Yan Chi nodded, and Qin Wan said, "Who are they? Have they already left?"
Yan Chi took a step forward and took her cool hand, "There are father's old subordinates, and there are also hidden stakes that I have managed over the years, and they are all gone now."
Qin Wan said, "Is it safe? The emperor already knew about it, but he didn't take any action on the surface. Will he find someone to watch you?"
Hearing this, Yan Chi couldn't help pulling Qin Wan into his arms.
He put his arms around Qin Wan's waist with one hand, and put his other hand on the back of Qin Wan's neck, scrubbing it lightly. His own slightly cool hands touched Qin Wan's warm neck and hair, and his whole body just recovered from the severe chill. Come alive.
He sniffed her neck lightly, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Qin Wan's heart sank slightly, and she leaned her cheek against Yan Chi's body. In the silent silence, she seemed to pass on the warmth from her body. After a while, Yan Chi gently rubbed against her neck. After a while, "If you don't come, I will go to you too. I have a favor and I need your help."
Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat. During this extraordinary period, any of Yan Chi's arrangements seemed to involve Shanda.
She quickly withdrew from his arms and looked up at him.
Seeing that her eyes were filled with worry, Yan Chi held her lips, "The person I met in Luozhou was seriously injured, and I want you to help him save his life."
Qin Wan hurriedly asked, "Where is the man?"
"At Xunniang's place."
Qin Wan nodded immediately, "Okay, shall we go now?"
Yan Chi shook his head, "Don't worry, wait another hour."
It was still early at this moment, if the two of them went out together, it would be a bit dazzling.
Qin Wan nodded, "Okay, what do I need to prepare?"
Yan Chi shook his head, "No need, Xun Niang is ready."
Qin Wan was relieved, and now he knew that the existence of Xunniang and Master Yuan was also his second move.
Qin Wan used to only think about her father's case, and her heart was tense. Now that such a big change happened in Prince Rui's residence, her heart became tense again. For a while, she became calmer than usual Quite a lot.
Yan Chi found out, and raised his hand to caress between her brows, "It's okay, you don't have to worry."
It is impossible for Qin Wan not to be worried about such a big matter. She had just come back from the dead back then, but she calmed down in Jinzhou because she was beyond her reach, but now, Yan Chi was in the center of the storm.
"What are you going to do?"
"Wait." Yan Chi gave a word, "It's impossible not to announce the news forever."
Qin Wan's heart ached slightly, and he couldn't help looking at Yan Chi's eyes. Yan Chi's phoenix eyes were extremely beautiful, when they were deep, they were like an abyss in the deep sea, and when they were shining, they were like a brilliant galaxy. But at this moment, his eyes Her eyes were like a cold winter night, even if the corners of her lips were slightly curved, these eyes were still occupied by a bone-chilling calmness.
The smile couldn't reach the bottom of his eyes, and he didn't dare to relax at all, otherwise he would be eroded by hatred and anger. At this juncture, it is absolutely impossible to make a wrong step. Qin Wan had this feeling before, but she was in Jinzhou at that time, Facing those people in the Qin family who never cared about Miss Jiu, who would care even if she looked a little strange
But now, in the capital, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him.
Qin Wan raised her hand and caressed between Yan Chi's eyebrows, her cool fingertips fell on his cheek, holding his cheek hesitantly, "Once the news is announced, what if the emperor wants you to go to the northwest?"
Yan Chi raised his hand to cover Qin Wan's, tilted his head, a little greedy for Qin Wan's delicate and warm palm, "No, father is from the royal family of the Yan family, there is no reason why he would not return to Beijing after death."
Qin Wan was silent, and asked him again, "And then?"
Qin Wan looked at Yan Chi, his eyes seemed to pierce his pupils, Yan Chi grabbed Qin Wan's hand, "Father must have a name in his death, the Northwest Army food case is very involved, the military power has changed hands, the Shuoxi Army has reshuffled, I will take care of the funeral, and there will be no possibility of leaving the capital from now on." After a pause, Yan Chi said calmly, "This is the best situation."
Qin Wan didn't blink the corners of her eyes, her pupils ached. She pressed her lips tightly, suddenly feeling a little confused.
She also thought of what Yan Chi said, what happened this time is nothing more than the word military power.
But why, it's fine if Prince Rui has the wrong intentions, but he has led the army for decades, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the northwest have been blessed by him, why, why did he end up like this in the end
Qin Wan thought of the vertical and horizontal scars on Yan Chi's body for a moment, how painful would that knife and arrow be when it fell on him
Qin Wan suddenly lowered her gaze, she couldn't think about it, and she couldn't say anything to interfere with Yan Chi's decision.
After seeing the manuscript given by Zhao Xun, Qin Wan felt a deep anger in her heart. She was the person who followed Shen Yi since she was a child. But when the news of Prince Rui's accident came, this anger was about to be overwhelmed. Why? Why
"Everything is just an assumption, and it's not the worst." Yan Chi's voice was relaxed. Seeing that Qin Wan's eyes were still lowered, Yan Chi said again, "My father and I have fought in Shuoxi for many years, and he and I will always be ready. ready."
Qin Wan raised her eyes and looked at Yan Chi suddenly, Yan Chi smiled, "We are always ready when we hear the news of the other party's death."
On the battlefield, swords have no eyes. Prince Rui let Yan Chi go to the battlefield at a young age, so he naturally thought of all kinds of possibilities. However, Qin Wan looked into Yan Chi's eyes, but knew deeply that this time was different. The prince did not die fighting for his country.
"But..." Qin Wan pursed the corners of her lips, but her throat felt a little choked. Yan Chi didn't know what she was going to say.
Qin Wan exhaled and changed the subject, "The empress dowager married us, it is a match made in heaven. The empress dowager is very happy, she just said that she intends to let us get married in October."
Yan Chi's eyes were soft, "Naturally."
The corners of Qin Wan's lips twitched, and he wanted to say something, but felt that he couldn't say anything, Prince Rui had an accident, and the filial piety period was not over, how would they get married? She didn't know this at first, but now she had to think about it.
Seeing Qin Wan's solemn expression, Yan Chi suddenly took her hand and walked out, "I'll take you to see something."
Qin Wan didn't know why, so he just followed Yan Chi and walked out of the water pavilion. Yan Chi pulled Qin Wan to go deeper into the palace. It was bleak and messy. After walking for a while, Yan Chi took Qin Wan to a courtyard. Compared with other places, this place was very elegant and bright, and it seemed that someone cleaned it frequently.
Yan Chi led Qin Wan into the yard, before entering the main entrance, turned around and entered the east wing, pushed the door open, Qin Wan saw at a glance that this was also a study room, a total of three wing rooms, there was a desk on the left by the window, but he saw The guest handles official expenses, and the middle and right wing rooms are full of bookshelves and antiques. On the wall directly opposite is a three-foot Qingfeng, and next to the three-foot Qingfeng, there is a picture of a beauty, Qin Wan. Staring at the picture of the beauty for a while, he was slightly distracted, and his eyes flickered, and he saw a seal in the lower right corner.
Qin Wan was taken aback, and quickly reached out to take out the jade ring hanging around her neck. There was an ancient character on the jade ring that Yan Chi gave her. Qin Wan didn't recognize it at first, but later Yan Chi told her that now, this In the corner of the painting, there was also an identical tent. Qin Wan compared it, "Is this a portrait of the princess?"
Qin Wan saw that there was another seal next to the seal, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the word "Yan Lin". Qin Wan knew the name of Prince Rui, and immediately understood, "This is... the portrait that the prince made for the princess. ?”
Yan Chi nodded, "The portrait from twenty years ago."
Qin Wan understood that this was Prince Rui's study, that's why there was a portrait of the princess. Qin Wan looked at the person on the portrait, and saw that the princess was wearing a plain white dress, with beautiful eyes and a sweet smile, just like a mountain mist The fairy that came out of the depths, and such a lifelike painting, shows that the painter is full of love. Qin Wan could not have imagined that a character like Prince Rui who dominates Shuoxi would have such good painting skills. It is a pity that things are now People are not, even the painters are...
Qin Guan raised her lips strongly, "The concubine is so beautiful, the prince must love her very much."
Yan Chi held Qin Wan's hand tightly, but he didn't speak. He looked at the portrait for a while, and his voice became a little lower, "So, it's a pity that I brought you to meet the concubine mother."
Qin Wan also placed his other hand on the back of Yan Chi's, "I also feel sorry, but you will not be alone in the future, the princess will be happy if she knows."
Yan Chi licked his lips, stepped forward and brushed the dust off the portrait and the sword, and then led Qin Wan out the door. After leaving the door, Yan Chi walked very slowly, and he took a wide look at the place. In the empty palace, he glanced at Qin Wan who was beside him again, his eyes deepened, "The emperor will definitely announce it to the world within ten days, Guan'er, do you hesitate?"
Qin Wan paused slightly, "Why am I hesitating?"
Yan Chi looked at Qin Wan, and Qin Wan knew what Yan Chi was talking about, "I have no hesitation, you already know what I want, and I understand your difficulties, not to mention that the decree for marriage has been issued, even if there is no decree, I will And never marry anyone else."
