Chapter 21 Confrontation in front of the palace
Another day.
The inner courtyard of the prince's mansion is colorful and green, stretching endlessly to the wall. The most important thing is the benefits of the spring, which is true.
It is particularly worth mentioning that there is a covered bridge in the courtyard that spans two pavilions that look at each other. Looking down at night, it is like a long rainbow, magnificent and beautiful.
At this time, on the arched corridor, two people hugged and leaned against each other. Looking from afar, they said that it was just a couple of immortals.
"Have you solved the matter of Chu Yinhao?"
"Well---" If that Yan Lingshuang is willing to stop here...
"Did you really take 50,000 taels of gold from him?"
Hearing the words, Xi Xinmiao laughed uncontrollablely, but did not answer.
Seeing this scene, Shui Yihan's face was already clear, and a touch of tenderness appeared in his eyes. "I guess he won't easily ask you for help in the future."
"That's what he deserves. He has a lot of oil and water. How can I get the people if I don't take the opportunity to get some money?"
The woman blinked playfully, and her eyes flashed with cunning.
The water shook his head helplessly, full of spoiling, and his eyes flowed, locking the woman's eyes.
"What's the matter?" Xi Xinmiao is suspicious.
I sighed at the woman's wisdom, and the light surged in her blue eyes: the tacit understanding between them has long been beyond each other's imagination.
Take out a letter from the sleeve, without a signature, and handed it to the woman.
"This is what I ordered Fengxue to check about your mother. I can know all the news - it's in it." He looked at her, with a deep concern, but his voice was always calm.
Her eyes drooped slightly, and there seemed to be a faint light. She did not immediately reach out her hand, but said calmly, "Didn't you say that you couldn't find it all the time? Why now..." suddenly it's progressing?
"Yes, I didn't find any clues before, but one thing reminded me."
"What?"
"Chu Yinhao's flying pigeon biography, at that time, I was thinking that maybe there would be an unexpected harvest when associated with the State of Chu."
The light in his eyes was warm and light, with a trace of insight. As a result, it was exactly as he guessed.
There was a trace of surprise in his answer. The woman raised her eyes and said, "So, have you started to investigate my mother's affairs from the beginning?"
The emotion surged in his eyes. This man has been silently doing everything for her and bearing everything. He has always been like this...
"Fool!" Shui Yihan sighed and hugged the suddenly silent woman with a smile. His voice was finally stained with emotion. "Your business is my business. Do you remember what you promised me? Don't leave---"
"Do not give up." The woman hugged the man's strong waist and responded, as if she could clearly feel the vibration of the man's warm chest.
"This is what Feng Xue just delivered. Take a look?"
"Ye-huh." The face buried in the man's chest withdrew, took the letter, and looked at it. Xi Xinmiao's face slowly became solemn, and later he frowned.
"What's the matter?"
Shui Yan's cold mood was pulled by the woman's expression. He had not read the content of the letter, and he couldn't help but raise his heart when he saw Xi Xinmiao's solemn appearance.
In his ear was a man's question of concern. Xi Xinmiao looked up at him. There seemed to be a turbulent whirlpool in his eyes, and the calm dark surge was more dangerous because of the unknown depth.
"Look."
Give the letter to the man, the water is cold and only glanced at it, and the contents of the letter are in the bottom of the eyes and luck in the palm of the hand. The letter paper instantly turned into powder and annihilated with the wind...
Different from the solemnity of Xi Xinmiao, the cold expression of the water is more of a kind of surprise. In addition, it is complete peace of mind.
Looking at Xi Xinmiao, who still has a black face, Shui Yihan smiled and said with a mocking tone, "It's not good to frown again. In fact, such a result is not bad, is it?"
The flexible fingers stroked the woman's frown, as if to iron out the folds there. In addition to surprise him a little, the content of the letter was actually not unacceptable.
"Is it a mistake?"
Xi Xinmiao still held a trace of luck, but when she heard Shui Yihan's affirmative sentence, "What Feng Xue has done so far has not been missed", she immediately withered.
"Why did such a bloody thing happen to me? Isn't it the right time?"
My heart was choked, and I suddenly had an impulse to die...
"Hi! I haven't seen you for a long time. It turns out that you came here to have an affair?"
He raised his chest and shook his head all the time, showing his coquettishness.
It is still unscrupulous. Who else will there be besides the owner of this mansion, Uncle Chu Yinhao?
"The dog can't spit ivory out of its mouth."
Xi Xin took a sip, and his face was full of contempt, but in exchange for someone's more sour sarcasm, "Tut, why don't you let people say it, virtue!" Like an aunt, she raised the orchid and pointed to someone, a replica of the madam in a brothel.
Xi Xinmiao looked at someone in front of him who was no different from a woman, remembered the content of the letter just now, and suddenly said sadly, "Can I go back?" She shook her cold arms pitifully. If she had a relationship with such a man, she really wanted to ask Shakespeare to accept her directly...
As soon as he heard that Xi Xinmiao was leaving, Chu Yinhao was excited, "That's not good. I'm here to let you know. I don't know from some gossip that my old man has received a woman from my house and wants to invite you to have tea."
"Are you sure he knows that my existence is not because of your betrayal?"
Xi Xinmiao bit the word "deed" very clearly, which made someone who was guilty and couldn't help shrinking. "It's so unpleasant," he lowered his head to his finger. "He also accidentally spilled the beans. Why does it make me feel like I'm sorry for the country and the people..."
He was a little unconvinced, but when he saw the deep face of Shui Qianhan's smile and the cold light reflected in Xi Xin Miao's eyes, his voice became lower and lower, just like a child who did something wrong.
"Well, well, I'll go with you, and I won't eat you~~" Chu Yinhao shouted as if I was at a loss, and then laughed and muttered, "Maybe the old man will be very happy to see you..." He said this lightly and did not spread out.
For this iron fact that has been on the cutting board that can't be changed, Xi Xin hasn't said anything for a long time before he took a deep breath, "There are thousands of people in the world who burp. Why do you live stronger than Xiaoqiang?"
Throwing him a contemptuous look, directly ignoring and walking without looking back.
"Is she, she, is she comparing me with that Xiaoqiang?"
Chu Yinhao pointed his finger at himself, as if he had heard something unacceptable. He stared wide and asked about the cold water coming towards him.
It's a pity that someone didn't even give him a straight eye and left with the woman.
"..."
After a while...
"Ah! You are sexist, not like this..."
Haozi's angry youth did not last long, because of the urgent call of Emperor Chu, and because of Xi Xinmiao and some inside stories that he wanted to know, this trip to the palace was imperative.
At this time, before Xi Xinmiao and others arrived, there were already someone in the palace.
"Emperor, you have to make the decision for me!" With a sad cry, the woman kneeling in the hall had already cried with pear blossoms and rain.
"Xiao Shuang, get up first. I have understood what you said," Chu Lingba rubbed his painful forehead with a headache, and his tone was a little tired. "I promise you that my daughter-in-law will only be you. I'm waiting to drink your daughter-in-law's tea."
"But..." Yan Lingshuang bit her lower lip and was still unwilling. She looked up at the Lord of Chu sitting on the dragon chair. "What the prince likes is..."
"Nonsense!"
The man on the dragon chair shouted harshly, and the empty hall was even more silent. It seemed that the woman's sob was more intermittent, which made people uncomfortable. Even though Yan Lingshuang has been loved since she was a child, she has never experienced such a scary scene. She knelt there in a daze and forgot to cry.
He also seemed to realize that his tone was a little stiff. Chu Lingba slowed down slightly, "Go away, I will give you an answer."
Only then did Yan Lingshuang want to retreat.
Before he turned around, he heard the eunuch outside the hall trotting in all the way.
"Your Majesty, the prince, the prince is coming!"
As soon as the words fell, Yan Lingshuang's feet were taken back and she was not going to leave.
"Let's announce it." He waved his hand, covered the dark color in his eyes, and restored it to the depth of his face. He thought to himself: a woman who can change the sex of a bastard who has never accepted women, he would like to see what skills she has different from ordinary people.
When Chu Yinhao and the three of them stepped into the hall one after another, Yan Lingshuang's eyes did not leave the man walking in front of him from the beginning.
"I have met my father."
Chu Yinhao bent down to the people on the dragon chair and restrained his usual laughter, which really showed some of the prince's demeanor.
"Yin Hao, who is behind you?"
Chu Ling's eyes were sharp. Just now, the man and woman saluted him in his son but did not salute him. He was a little angry and unhappy in his heart, but when he thought that the person who could make the prince salute must not be an ordinary person, he calmed down and looked at him quietly.
Hearing the words, Chu Yinhao smiled slightly, with some kind of mystery, "Ha ha, didn't my father ask the minister to bring the distinguished guests in the house for a while? Well, the minister invited the two of them together today."
He explained that he was calm and leisurely sprinkled his body gracefully.
I didn't miss the word "please" said by Chu Yinhao when he introduced Shui Yihan. Everyone was shocked and surged through all kinds of thoughts.
Xi Xinmiao and Shui Han looked at each other and smiled, and Emperor Chu's eyes were slightly heavy.
Yan Lingshuang, who was listening, had been breathing hard for a long time. What did he just say?! Is the woman standing behind him actually living in the prince's mansion all the time?
If she hadn't happened to meet her in the palace today, what else would he have hidden from her?
"Hao'er, is this the wonderful person you said that day?"
In the air, Xi Xin suddenly felt that there was a visit hitting her. She knew that it was from the emperor.

I haven't updated 3,000 yuan for a long time. I feel that I can't stand it. It's really not a human job. I sit for four or five hours to catch three thousand words. Oh, my waist hurts. I'm old and useless... I'm sighing~~
You white-eyed wolves, just look at them without bubbles, and there is no sympathy at all. You are so sad... If you ignore me, I will abuse them to death~~(╰_╯)
