Shen Yan and Gu Duo looked at the two people chatting happily in the private room, and said to Fan Chen beside them: "How is the investigation of Luo Qingyi going?"

"Nothing suspicious at this time."

Shen Yan nodded, and saw that his cousin in the private room was talking about something and looked at them.

Shen Yan looked at Gu Duo. He had not been to the palace for a few days because he had been accompanying his cousin. "How is the investigation of Concubine Li going?"

Gu Duo shook his head in disappointment, with a mocking expression on his face: "Father is deliberately covering up for me."

After hearing this, both of them fell silent.

After a long while, Gu Duo looked at him sideways: "Shen Yan, have you ever heard a sentence?"

"Once bitten by a snake, one will fear ropes for ten years." This was what his father taught him, but he never expected that this would eventually apply to him.

"I will avenge my mother one day."

----

Time flies by silently. Winter snow is flying, and the peach blossoms in the courtyard have already withered. The branches are covered with white snow, which is quite special.

"Miss, you left the window open again." Zizhu placed the heater in the young lady's arms and said helplessly.

"It's so beautiful outside the window." It would be nice if I could go out and build a snowman.

It is rare that there was such heavy snow in Nanyi Country this year.

At this time, Yu Que walked happily and said, "Miss, Miss! My cousin is here!"

"When did you come?" When Rong Shu heard Shen Yan coming, he quickly stuck his head out and looked out the window.

Sure enough, not far away, I saw a handsome man wearing a moon-colored silver silk satin robe. His angular features were like jade carvings, his lips were thin, his nose was high, and his dark phoenix eyes contained an unfathomable depth and coldness.

Seeing Rong Shu, the coldness in her eyes disappeared and she slowly walked towards her.

He walked to the window, and a smile appeared on his stunning and cold face.

"Come in quickly": Rong Shu's eyes were filled with smiles.

As soon as he came in, Rong Shu came over to help him take off his cloak. Shen Yan bent slightly as usual.

"Come, take Nuan Nuan first." Rong Shu took off his cloak, with snowflakes scattered on the cloak, and put the heater in his hands.

Shen Yan felt a wave of warmth coming from his hands, and then he saw her pour a cup of hot ginger sugar water and hand it to him: "Drink it quickly."

The warm aroma of warm ginger sugar water rises up in the cold winter, just like the only warmth deep in the heart.

Rong Shu watched him drink it all in one gulp and then nodded in relief. Ever since Shen Yan returned to the general's mansion three years ago, they haven't met as often as before.

"How have you been these past few days? Have the people in the General's Mansion made things difficult for you? Have you eaten well?"

Seeing her cousin asking three questions in a row, Shen Yan felt warm in her heart: "It's not bad. The people in the general's mansion didn't make things difficult for Xiao Yan. She ate well."

Rong Shu saw that he answered the questions obediently and nodded with satisfaction. That’s good, that’s good.

After several years of careful training, Shen Yan has gradually developed correct moral sentiments and treated people kindly. I think he will never become a vicious villain.

"Cousin, this is for you." Shen Yan took out an exquisite little box that he had found when he went out today.

"What is this?" Rong Shu took it and curiously opened the small box, and saw a pebble-sized bead lying quietly in the small box. The bead emitted a dim moonlight outside, like a lighting lamp.

“So beautiful”

Could this be the legendary night-shining pearl?

Shen Yan saw that his cousin's face was filled with joy, her eyes were filled with soft light, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised.

"Wait a minute, I will give you something as well." After saying that, Rong Shu walked towards the boudoir, and soon she came out.

"I've been feeling a little bored these days, so I embroidered a purse, but the result is not very pleasing to the eye." Rong Shu has been learning embroidery madly these past few days, but she never expected that God would not open her dexterous hands to her.

Moreover, Rong Shu thought for a long time before embroidering, wondering what to write. Finally, she decided to embroider "Peace every year". She came here also for his "Peace every year".

Shen Yan carefully took the purse, on which was embroidered the crooked words "May you be safe every year" and a small word "Yan" in the corner.

"Cousin, I like it very much." Shen Yan's slender hand stroked the purse, his heart full of joy and his eyes full of tenderness.

"That's good. Do you want to embroider a purse for Xiaoduo as well..." Rong Shu was thinking about whether she should embroider one for Gu Duo as well.

"Cousin, Gu Duo is the third prince, but he is rarely seen wearing a purse." Shen Yan said hurriedly after hearing this.

My cousin's purse can only belong to him.

"Yeah, then I won't embroider for him." Rong Shu thought about it and agreed.

"How is Xiaoduo these days?" Speaking of Gu Duo, she hasn't seen him for some time. Firstly, they have grown up and are busy, and secondly, he has reached an age where men and women should avoid suspicion.

There is no time to let down your guard in the face of the intrigues in the "Shang Ke" palace, but I hope my cousin won't worry about them anymore.

"Young Master" Fan Chen's voice sounded outside the door.

Shen Yan thought that there were still some things that had not been dealt with, so he let go of his reluctance and said, "Cousin, I will go back first and come to see you tomorrow."

"Well, go ahead. It's cold and the ground might be slippery." Rong Shu tied his cloak for him again. Looking at him who was as well-behaved as when he was a child, she couldn't help but touch his head.

Shen Yan nodded obediently, and finally walked out of the door in the biting cold wind and snow.

When leaving, Rong Shu kept reminding Fan Chen to take good care of Shen Yan.

"Young Master, my cousin still treats you as a child like she did when you were little." Fan Chen looked at the young master, who had lost his gentleness and exuded a cold and awe-inspiring aura since leaving the Du Mansion.

Little did we know that the little prince has grown up.

"Have you caught him?" Shen Yan gave him a warning look.

"Yes": Fan Chen replied. How could he forget that the cousin was the young master's only weakness.

“Go check it out first”

The two came to a simple courtyard. After passing through the outer courtyard, Fan Tu opened the mechanism and the two entered the underground passage. Inside, there was a different world, filled with various torture instruments like a prison cell.

At this moment, there was a man lying on the ground with disheveled clothes and wounds all over his body.

Fan Chen said to his subordinates: "Wake him up!"

"Yes"

"Bang!" The guard brought a bucket of water and poured it towards the man.

"Ah!" The man covered in wounds was awakened and looked here quickly.

But the leading man was wearing a black eagle mask, revealing only his stunning jawline: "Who are you?"

"Stop talking nonsense and tell the truth!" Fan Chen scolded coldly.

"I don't know what to confess. I was caught by you for no reason. What should I confess?" he said innocently.

Shen Yan raised his hand, Fan Chen nodded, and suddenly picked up the dagger and stabbed it into the man's neck.

"He's got Prime Minister He's manual here. If you tell the truth, I'll spare your life. But if you don't, this dagger will poke thousands of holes in your body..." Fan Chen looked at him coldly and ruthlessly, the sharp dagger icy cold under the candlelight.

"I...what do you want me to say! I know nothing, ah!" Before he could finish his words, a knife stabbed into his abdomen.

"We jailers like people like you who don't like to tell the truth the most. As for us, we have the ability to bring people back to life." Fan Chen picked up a white cloth, wiped the dagger gently, and turned it in front of the man's eyes.

The man shuddered at the word "jailer". Then he said, "Oh, I forgot to mention that today has just begun..."

"I...I said!" said the man, covering the wound on his abdomen.

"The manual is in the mansion. There is a painting in the study. There is a mechanism behind the painting..."

Shen Yan raised his hand slightly, and vaguely saw a black-clothed shadow guard quietly leaving. About half an incense stick of time later, he saw the black-clothed shadow guard quietly coming.

Whispered into Shen Yan's ear.
