Nightwatcher

Suddenly, Xu Qi'an seemed to have returned to the scene when she first met Lin'an, and she was like this at that time, like a noble canary, beautiful and proud.

This is her usual attitude when meeting outsiders. And later, she started to chatter, showing a pure and lively side, she was clearly fighting the five scum, but she was like a fighting little hen.

It's like a princess taking off her heavy armor and letting you see the little girl inside.

Lin'an is still Lin'an, it hasn't changed, except that I was favored by Xu Qi'an, imitating Xu Erlang's voice, saluted, and said:

"Your Majesty is entrusted by your elder brother to visit His Highness."

Lin'an maintained a cold and reserved posture, his amorous peach eyes dimmed, and his voice became soft unconsciously: "He, won't he come by himself?"

Xu Qi'an shook his head: "Your Highness said this, how dare elder brother come to see you, as soon as he stepped into the palace, or the imperial city, His Majesty could cut him off just by turning his head."

Even if you don't come to see me, why don't you even want to reply to the letter? Lin An nodded slightly, and said softly: "Your elder brother, how are you doing?"

When she said this, her eyes were focused and her expression was serious. It was not a polite greeting, but she really cared about Xu Qi'an's recent situation.

Lin'an is an emotional girl, if you tease her, she will giggle. If you tease her, she will scratch you with teeth and claws. Unlike Huaiqing, whose IQ is too high, he is pure and cold.

If you tease her, you will only embarrass yourself.

Therefore, Xu Qi'an couldn't help but wanted to bully her, and teased her: "Brother, it's getting better these days. Apart from practicing, I just play around every day. I just went to Jianzhou a while ago."

"That's good, that's good"

Lin'an nodded reservedly, pursed his lips, like an unwilling little girl, and asked tentatively: "He, did he mention the recent court dispute these days? Well, did you worry about it?"

She also wanted to ask, has she ever begged Wei Yuan?

But considering that Xu Erlang was on duty in the Imperial Academy on weekdays, he might not know these things.

However, if Xu Qi'an really kept her request in mind, he would definitely inquire and think about strategies, and Xu Erlang, who is an official in the court, must be one of the objects of inquiry.

Seeing her expectant look, Xu Qi'an shook his head: "Brother is no longer Yinluo, he said he is too lazy to care about court affairs. Why did His Highness suddenly ask?"

"Ben, I'm just asking casually."

Lin'an forced a smile, she felt the man's perfunctory, felt his alienation and indifference, and suddenly became very sad and depressed.

She remembered that Xu Qi'an said that he wanted to be her cow and horse for the rest of his life. Although those words were meant as a joke, the importance he showed for her was uncompromising in the eyes of Lin'an at the time.

It is a happy and happy thing for a man you like to put you in an important position in his heart.

But suddenly, you find that what the man said and did before may be perfunctory and deceptive. He doesn't take you seriously now.

With a sore nose and tears almost rolling down Lin'an's heart ached, he forced himself to say: "I'm exhausted, if Mr. Xu has nothing else to do"

Before she finished speaking, the court lady came in with small steps, her voice was crisp and clear: "The crown prince is here."

Lin'an lowered his head in a panic, calmed down his emotions, and when he raised his head again, he smiled without any sadness, and hurriedly said, "Please come in, Brother Prince."

Why is the prince here, don't drive me away when the time comes, that's the end of me, I hate me to death, Xu Qi'an wants to scold me a little bit.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in brocade clothes strode in, the first thing he noticed was not Lin'an, but Xu Qi'an, just like the first thing a beautiful woman notices is someone of the same sex who is prettier than herself.

The prince also feels this way now.

Although as the prince, he has a noble status, his own bloodline is excellent, and his appearance is excellent, but compared with this sage, he is a bit out of the ordinary.

Especially today he was wearing azure-colored costumes, his arrogance and arrogance were not inferior to his own at all, but his spirit was much better than his own.

"Master Xu is here too."

With a smile on his face, the prince turned his head and discarded that little discomfort, just a little surprised, he didn't remember any intersection between his sister and Xu New Year.

It just so happens that he is Xu Qi'an's cousin, so I'll lure him into the camp first, and then, will Xu Qi'an buy into me?

The prince took his seat immediately and started talking with Xu Nian eagerly.

After chatting, the prince inadvertently brought the topic to the court, and said with a smile:

"Damn it, hit it. I thought that Wang Dang was going to hurt his muscles and bones this time, but he didn't expect it to be reversed afterwards. Yuan Xiong was demoted to the right inspector censor, and Qin Yuandao, the servant of the Ministry of war, was ill in bed."

He started, then looked at Xu Qi'an, expecting him to follow the topic.

It is a common problem of young officials to like to point out the country and comment on the affairs of the court. Especially the fledgling Xinke Jinshi.

Xu Qi'an smiled flatly, and said casually: "The dispute between the court and court is turbulent, and any kind of reversal is possible."

Lin'an listened bored, she just wanted to be alone now, but this is Shaoyin Palace, as the host, she had to accompany the banquet, it would be rude to leave the venue and leave the "guest" behind.

It seems that there is still a wary prince's eyes flashed, he stopped playing the game, and said straight to the point:

"I heard from the Palace that the reason why the Royal Party was able to gather a group of ministers and pass the customs smoothly is all thanks to Mr. Xu."

Zhuang Zhuan turned his head violently, staring at Xu Qi'an.

His Royal Highness is really the trump card. Xu Qi'an glanced at Lin'an, and responded calmly: "It's not my credit, it's my elder brother's credit."

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Lin'an breathed heavily: "Master Xu, what are you talking about? It's all thanks to your elder brother. Xu, he also participated in Xu Ning's banquet in the court battle a while ago?"

The prince took the topic and said:

"Lin'an, you don't know yet, it is said that Cao Guogong left some secret letters before his death, which stated his crimes of embezzling and breaking the law, embezzling tributes and other crimes over the years, who conspired with him, who participated in it, clearly written, clear and direct.

"Xu Qi'an did not know where to get these criminal evidences. It is because of these criminal evidences that the Royal Party was able to survive this crisis. What I said for my brother is confidential, and Lin'an must not spread it to the outside world."

Lin'an leaned forward slightly, her eyes were fixed on Xu Qi'an, without blinking, her tone was hasty:

"Why does the dog Xu Ningyan help the royal party?"

She could feel her heart beating wildly, as if she was longing for something, but was afraid of seeing the result. Both apprehensive and looking forward to.

Ha, Lin'an's heart is beating so fast? If I said: Eldest Brother is for forming an alliance with Wang Shoufu, will she cry on the spot?

Xu Qi'an said with a smile: "Brother said, because His Highness Lin'an sent someone to deliver a message, he will do his best to complete what His Highness Lin'an wants to do, even if he is no longer a silver gong, his ability is limited."

For me, Lin'an muttered to himself.

She was like a passerby lost in the wilderness. When she saw the light, her heart suddenly settled down, her eyes were bent, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

The kind of joy that comes from the heart cannot be hidden.

The prince glanced at Huo Ranjian's bright and beautiful younger sister, without changing his face, he sent out an invitation instead: "Tomorrow, the Japanese palace will hold a banquet outside the palace, can Mr. Xu show your face?"

Xu Qi'an responded: "But it's disrespectful."

The prince smiled, seeing that "Xu New Year" had no intention of leaving, he thought to himself, it would not be too late to talk to Lin'an tomorrow.

Immediately got up, and said: "Today, someone will send invitations to the residence, I am bored, come and have a seat, and I have business to deal with, so let's go ahead."

Lin'an got up and sent the prince out of the hospital together with Xu Qi'an, watching the prince's leaving back, she lifted her round jaw and said with a light smile:

"Master Xu, is there anything else?"

Xu Qi'an moaned as thin as a mosquito with his own voice: "Your Highness, I miss you so much."

Lin'an's tender body suddenly stiffened, surprise, astonishment and excitement flashed in her amorous peach blossom eyes, and an intoxicating blush welled up her round and fair face.

Thick eyelashes flickered a few times, suppressed his joy and excitement, forced himself to be calm, and said: "Master Xu, I still have a lot of things to ask you, so I went into the room and said."

Back in the living room, she ordered in a calm voice, "You all step back."

The maid standing in the hall saluted and exited the living room.

When the person retreated, Zhan Zhan immediately changed his face, pinched his waist, stared, puffed his cheeks, and said angrily: "You dog slave, why didn't you reply? Why didn't you come to see me?"

"Does Your Highness miss me so much that you don't think about food and drink, and can't sleep at night?" Xu Qi'an stopped pretending and said with a smile.

"You, don't talk nonsense, I will miss you."

Lin'an hastily denied that she was a princess who hadn't left the court, and Lin'an was pure and pure, so she definitely couldn't admit the shameful thing of missing a certain man.

Xu Qi'an stared at her, and said softly: "But, I think His Highness doesn't think about food and drink, and can't sleep at night because of thinking about it, so I wish I could put on my wings and fly into the palace.

"Even if His Majesty bends his bow and shoots me down, as long as I can see His Majesty, I will die without regret."

The framed pretty face flushed red all of a sudden, and she stammered, "You, you, you, you can't talk to Ben Gong like that."

She suddenly felt flustered. Such a bold and explicit statement was something she had never experienced before. She felt like a guinea pig who was forced into a corner.

"Your Highness, come, let me tell you something interesting about the past few days in Jianzhou."

Xu Qi'an grabbed her little hand and pulled her to sit down beside the desk.

Lin'an resisted a little, then let him hold her hand, lowered her head slightly, with a gesture of secret joy.

Time passed by, and soon it was time for lunch.

It wasn't until the maid stood in the courtyard and called, that Lin'an stopped unsatisfied, she needed company too much.

"I can't keep you in Shaoyin Palace for lunch, I will move to Lin'an Mansion tomorrow, dog slave, you, can you come again?" There was expectation and a trace of pleading in her soft eyes.

"I will." Xu Qi'an squeezed her soft little hands.

Lin'an laughed immediately, she was charming and charming, she was a charming girl.

"Wait a minute, I have something for you."

She raised her skirt and left the living room. After a long time, the maids returned with trays of gold, silver and jade.

"You go back first."

After dismissing the palace lady, she chirped and said: "You are no longer an official, and I don't know if you have other means of earning a living. It is always good to have more gold and silver. There are many valuable items in Shaoyin Palace, and I also no need.

"Huaiqing said that you may leave the capital in the future, I, I don't know if I can see you again in the future"

She didn't go on talking, and took a look at him, actually wanting to see his appearance again, but now he is disguised as a cousin.

This is Shaoyin Palace, the imperial palace, and he can't be willful to let him remove his disguise.

Lin'an had no choice but to keep his expectation in his heart.

"By the way, this script is very interesting. You, take it back and have a look." After hesitating for a while, she mustered up her courage and took out the script hidden in her sleeve.

Xu Qi'an tidied up his things, put them into the fragments of the book on the ground, walked to the entrance of the hall, hesitated for a while, stretched out his hand, and wiped it on his face for a while.

"Your Highness!"

He turned around with a smile.

The sky-blue brocade jacket was embroidered with light blue cloud-covering patterns, ringed with jingle bells, and her hair was tied with a hollowed-out golden crown, and she was wearing cloud-covering boots.

Lin'an was a little crazy for a while.

The next day, Xu Qi'an and Xu New Year entered the imperial city in Miss Wang's carriage, and were driven by the coachman to the palace.

Xu Qi'an sat on the woolen rug, flipping through the scriptures in his hand.

"My lord, what a mess of books, why does my brother read these idle books?" Xu Nian asked curiously.

Brother, a vulgar martial artist, never reads books.

"The book tells the story of a little man from the demon clan who fell in love with a princess from the heaven. Because this is an unacceptable love, the little man from the demon tribe was demoted to the mortal world and became a bull. Later, the little man from the demon tribe was killed in the heaven, The story of snatching the princess back to the mortal world and living a simple life together."

Xu Qi'an's smile was a bit complicated.

This is what he asked Zhong Li to write for Lin'an back then, but now, Lin'an gave him the script, and it is self-evident what it implies.

During the conversation, the carriage stopped outside the palace gate.

The steward of the palace had been waiting at the gate of the palace, and when the carriage stopped, he immediately led the two of them into the palace.

Xu Nian stayed in the living room, accompanied by Wang Simu to talk. Xu Qi'an was keenly aware that Miss Wang was looking at him with a bit of complaint.

Are you blaming me for beating up your sweetheart? Bah, it's none of your business if I beat my own little brother. He complained in his heart, and followed the housekeeper all the way to Wang Shoufu's study.

In the luxurious and spacious study room, the gray-haired Wang Shoufu, wearing a dark uniform, was sitting behind the table, holding a volume of books in his hand.

"Master Chief Assistant." Xu Qi'an bowed.

"Master Xu, please sit down."

Wang Shoufu put down the scroll, looked at him with slightly vicissitudes of eyes, and smiled: "Master Xu is a martial arts practitioner, so I won't play tricks on you."

No, what you said clearly reveals your disdain for martial arts Xu Qian said, he came to the palace today to ask Wang Shoufu for "payment".

"If there is anything the old man can help with, Master Xu just ask."

Xu Qi'an spoke for a moment, and then said: "Two things, first, I'm going to go to the file library of the Ministry of Officials to check the files. Second thing, there is an old case, I want to ask Wang Shoufu."
