I made the villain right.

At this time, Yun Zhengting was the only one left in the study. He sat in front of the desk with his eyes lowered in thought.

The mention of King Jing'an just now made him think of some strange things.

Logically speaking, Prince Jing'an should have returned to the capital to mourn after receiving the late emperor's last will and testament, but Prince Jing'an has never shown up since then, and the ministers in the court have never spread any rumors about this matter, as if Prince Jing'an had never existed.

Now, the capital is in turmoil because of Qin Yixian, and someone has to come out to take charge of the situation.

And this person is undoubtedly Jing'an Wang Xuyuanzhou.

Xu Yuanzhou had fought in the battlefield when he was young and had made outstanding achievements. He was given the title of General Zhenyuan. Now he is in his sixties, but he is still in good health. He currently lives in Liangzhou City and is in charge of Zhentianlei.

Yun Zhengting remembered that his father Yun Baichuan once told him that Xu Yuanzhou and Qin Yixian were both his classmates, and that when he was studying at the Imperial College, his father and Xu Yuanzhou had the best relationship.

Xu Yuanzhou is both civil and military, and is superior to Qin Yixian in every way. He is loved by many teachers and superiors. Even Li Zhihuai, a famous and prestigious founding general with great military achievements, takes a special liking to him, accepts him as his disciple, and teaches him martial arts.

Qin Yixian felt that Xu Yuanzhou had taken away his glory since he entered the Imperial College, and he was jealous. He always regarded Xu Yuanzhou as a strong rival and secretly framed Xu Yuanzhou many times.

But Xu Yuanzhou was able to resolve the situation every time. Finally, one day, Xu Yuanzhou could no longer stand Qin Yixian's mean behavior and beat him up, severely injuring him. He could not get out of bed and walk for a month.

Although Qin Yixian hated Xu Yuanzhou, he did not dare to provoke him.

Mostly it was a psychological shadow. Although Qin Yixian was now the prime minister, he always gave people a feeling of lack of confidence when facing Xu Yuanzhou. He acted in a low-key and cautious manner and did not dare to be too presumptuous.

This is why Yun Zhengting believes that only King Jing'an can subdue Qin Yixian.

After Yun Zhengting collected his thoughts, he picked up a pen and wrote a few lines. Then he called the guard beside him and handed the note to him and gave him instructions.

"Make sure to send this message to King Jing'an of Liangzhou City."

The guard responded and went out.

At this time, the gates of Kyoto City were still closed, and two teams of imperial guards stood at the door, ready for battle. Any pedestrians who approached were driven away, and the city was on high alert.

In addition, there were two teams of imperial guards standing on the city wall. When they saw a white dove flying in the sky, they immediately raised their bows and arrows and shot at the white dove. The white dove was hit by the arrow and fell to the ground with a scream.

Not long after the white dove fell to its death, a goshawk flew across the sky, spreading its wings and soaring in an exceptionally peaceful manner.

The imperial guards looked at the flying hawk with confusion, and one of them asked, "Where did the hawk come from?"

"No matter where it comes from, Prime Minister Qin has already said that not even a fly can be let out of Kyoto," another imperial guard replied.

After saying that, he immediately raised his hand and shot an arrow. Soon the other imperial guards also shot arrows and killed the goshawk.

The goshawk was enraged by the arrow that was suddenly shot at it. It screamed angrily, flapped its wings, and then swooped down. It grabbed a soldier's neck with one claw and tore it hard, leaving a fatal wound on the soldier's neck. Blood spurted out and he fell to the ground and died on the spot.

The imperial guards were horrified and shot arrows randomly in panic, but they found that the eagle's movements were so swift and agile that they could not hurt it at all.

After injuring one person, the goshawk did not circle with the imperial guards for too long and immediately flew away from Kyoto.

A member of the imperial guards looked at the flying black shadow and the body of his companion lying on the ground, still somewhat frightened.

He looked tremblingly at another imperial guard beside him and asked, "Should we report this to Prime Minister Qin?"

The leading guard shook his head and said, "No need, it's just a goshawk out to look for food. There's no need to make a fuss. If we tell Prime Minister Qin about this, he will think that we are negligent and all of us present will be in danger."

"But this eagle killed our people. Are you sure it was just out looking for food?" The imperial guard disagreed.

The leading imperial guard patted his head in displeasure when he heard this, and said dissatisfiedly: "You stupid guy, we just shot it like that, how could it not fight back? You are so eager to seek death, isn't it better to be alive? If you want to die, if the enemy attacks later, I will let you charge first."

The guard was a little confused by the leader's words. After he came to his senses, he touched his head, smiled honestly and said, "No need, I think life is pretty good."

The guard stood on the street and looked at the scene in the distance, his brows full of worry. He looked down at the note in his hand and realized that the message could not be delivered.

After thinking for a moment, the guard finally decided to return to the Yun Mansion and report the matter to Yun Zhengting.

After the guard turned and left, Du Xuan also walked out from the corner of the wall a few feet away from him. He glanced at the guard's departing figure, then looked at the heavily guarded city gate with a hint of deep thought in his eyes, and left after a moment.

In a room in the yard, it was so quiet that the only sound was the turning of pages of a book. Two figures were leaning against each other on a couch.

Fan Hua closed his eyes slightly, rested his chin lightly on Shi Jin's head, and wrapped his arms tightly around Shi Jin's waist, as if he was holding some beloved treasure.

Shi Jin leaned lazily in Fan Hua's arms and read the storybook.

Due to the current special circumstances, Shi Jin and Fan Hua cannot go out casually. They can only stay in the house every day, which is really boring. They can only ask Li Muci to buy her some storybooks to read.

But the stories in the book were too old-fashioned and boring. Shi Jin yawned while reading it and put the book aside after a while.

"It would be nice if we could go out. This storybook is so boring. It makes me sleepy," Shi Jin complained, breaking the silence.

Fan Hua rubbed his head lovingly and said, "Just bear with it for a while, we will be able to get out soon."

He glanced at the small pile of books on the table, then reached out and took out a book called "Love in the West Window" and handed it to Shi Jin, "Let's read this one then."

Shi Jin was too lazy to move. She glanced at the book lazily, but did not reach out to take it. Instead, she found a comfortable position to lean against it. Her hands were not idle, as she started to play with his hair.

"I'm too lazy to read it, please read it to me," Shi Jin said coquettishly.

Fan Hua lowered his eyes and smiled silently, the gentle smile spreading like waves in his eyes.

He turned to a page and read softly: "A beautiful woman who could captivate fish and geese sits alone in the west window, intoxicated by the clouds of Wushan Mountain across the window..."

As soon as Fan Hua read this, his expression changed slightly. What kind of story was this? It was simply disgusting.

Feeling the burning sensation on his cheek, the book in his hand fell to the ground like a hot potato.

Shi Jin was wondering why Fan Hua suddenly stopped reading when he heard the sound of a book falling to the ground. "What happened?"

Shi Jin wanted to get up to check what was going on, but Fan Hua held him tightly around the waist, so he couldn't move. He hurriedly said, "This book is really boring. Let's change to another one."

After saying this, he rummaged through the pile of books.

After seeing several storybooks titled "The Sweet Wife by My Side", "A Secret Meeting with the Beauty at Qingping Mountain" and "Liu Gong Meets the Beauty with Poetry", his face was full of disgust.

As he searched, he gritted his teeth and said, "Mianmian, promise me that you won't read the book that Li Muci bought for you from now on."

Shi Jin looked up in confusion and asked, "Huh? Why can't I watch it?"

"The book he bought is so ugly. I will buy one for you next time."

Shi Jin thought Fan Hua was jealous, so she chuckled and agreed, "Okay."

At this time, Fan Hua saw a storybook titled "Journey to the West" and thought the name was normal.

With his previous experience, he picked it up and opened it to check it this time. Only after he saw that there were basically no problems did he start reading.

"Pei Lang, the son of the richest man in Beiliang City, became penniless due to his family's decline. He had no choice but to go to West City to seek refuge with Miss Qin Wan, with whom he had been engaged. Unexpectedly, he was humiliated by the Qin family..."

Shi Jin was nestling in Fan Hua's arms with an expression of enjoyment. His cold yet gentle voice sounded like a clear stream flowing into the heart, making people's hearts tremble.

The light and clear words uttered from his mouth seemed to be filtered through a gentle layer, carrying the magic to seduce people.

She raised her head and stared at him blankly, seeing his red ears and her eyes flickering slightly.

It’s been cold recently and Ayu’s ears have turned red from the cold.

Shi Jin thought about this, she rubbed her hands, and then reached out to cover his ears.

Fan Hua was so startled by her sudden movement that his eyes suddenly opened and his voice stopped abruptly. He lowered his head to look at the person in his arms.

Shi Jin was stunned when she met his gaze. The hot touch on her hand and the current atmosphere made her feel weird.

She flashed her bright eyes and showed a gentle smile to ease the atmosphere, then explained in a soft voice: "I'm afraid you're cold, so I'll warm you up."

Seeing her eyes full of tenderness and cuteness, his throat moved, and before she could react, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.

The kiss was like a dragonfly skimming the water, and it was like the crushed sunset falling into the lake, causing ripples.

"I'm not cold"

"Hmm? Why are those ears red?"

"Are you shy?" Shi Jin stared at Fan Hua and smiled meaningfully.

When Fan Hua saw that Shi Jin had seen through him, his eyes flickered and he said in defense: "No, I'm hot."

After that, he gave her another sneaky kiss on the lips.

After Shi Jin responded, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

He stared at her red lips, pursed his lips slightly, still unsatisfied with the kiss just now, and then gradually moved closer...

The two were about to kiss when there was a knock on the door.

Fan Hua suddenly came back to his senses, with a hint of resentment in his eyes. He turned to look towards the door, and the next moment he heard Du Xuan's voice.

"Master, I have something important to report to you."

When Shi Jin saw Du Xuan, she quickly came out of Fan Hua's arms, tidied her appearance, and sat aside obediently.

Fan Hua also got up from the bed and sat on a chair next to her, "Come in."

After hearing Fan Hua's voice, Du Xuan pushed the door open and walked in.

"Master, the news has been spread by Cang Qi. The other four princes have been captured by Qin Yixian."

When they heard Xu Wusheng being taken away, Shi Jin and Fan Hua's expressions suddenly changed.

"Why was he caught suddenly!" Shi Jin asked in surprise.

"Qin Yixian has found out that it was Feng Nanyi who planned the Baique Lane parade behind the scenes. The Fourth Prince is naturally suspected as well. I also heard that Feng Nanyi had an argument with the Fourth Prince a few days ago and stabbed him. His whereabouts are unknown now."

Shi Jin was puzzled. As far as she knew, Feng Nanyiyi was a very loyal person. He had always been by Xu Wusheng's side, giving him advice and helping him ascend the throne. Why would he turn against Xu Wusheng at this time? This shouldn't have changed.

"Why are they arguing?" Shi Jin asked puzzledly.

Du Xuan shook his head, "I don't know."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Hua analyzed: "In my opinion, Feng Nanyi's move is to distance himself from Xu Wusheng, but the traces are obvious, and I think Qin Yixian can guess this."

Du Xuan looked worried. Shi Jin thought he was worried about Xu Wusheng's safety, but he said, "I heard that anyone caught by Qin Yixian would hardly come out alive. Will the Fourth Prince be unable to withstand the torture and tell us everything that happened that day? That would be bad for us."

Shi Jin's eyebrows slightly raised when he heard this, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. Is now the time to worry about this?

Shouldn't we be thinking about how to save Xu Wusheng? Is our focus off the track?

"will not"

Seeing Fan Hua speaking firmly, Du Xuan showed a hint of doubt.

Fan Hua explained without hesitation: "Our hatred with Qin Yixian has long been known to everyone. We are not afraid of itching when we have too many lice, nor do we care about a few more charges. But Xu Wusheng is different. Qin Yixian has been keeping a close eye on him, trying to find something to hold against him. If he tells everything, wouldn't that give Qin Yixian a great opportunity? So he won't do that."

After saying this, Shi Jin cast a friendly look at Fan Hua and asked, "Ayu, what are your plans?"

"Hmm?" Fan Hua's eyes flickered.

He looked at Shi Jin and said, "Mianmian, I find that you have become more and more daring recently. The two of us are now in the high-risk group. We can't take care of ourselves, and you want to save another high-risk person."

Shi Jin raised an eyebrow and asked, "Then you won't save him?"

Before Fan Hua could say anything, he heard Shi Jin muttering to himself, "Okay, then we won't save him. After all, given our current situation, not only will we not be able to save him, but we will also risk our own lives."

She sighed, "It's just that the Fourth Prince suffered this because he saved my father and brother. If I don't save him, I will inevitably feel guilty. Whenever I think of this in my dreams at midnight, I'm afraid I will have trouble sleeping and eating."

After Shi Jin finished speaking, he pretended to be weak and leaned on Fan Hua.

Fan Hua was amused by her dramatic behavior and pinched her little face helplessly.

Then he said brightly: "People at high risk still need to hug each other for warmth from time to time. Let's find a way to save him."

Du Xuan, who witnessed all this, felt his cheeks twitching slightly. His master was completely controlled by the lady.

Du Xuan sighed inwardly, as he had already seen his master's family status in the future.
