"are you awake?"

The sound of the rain "ticks" and the beautiful spring scenery in the tent.

Xiao Suo remained silent, Shen Yan opened his palm and pressed it to his cheek, and asked with a smile: "Little Laipi, are you still awake? It's getting dark soon, if you're late, don't blame me for not calling you."

"I didn't sleep." His voice was extraordinarily soft, like the sobbing of a kitten, and like a breeze blowing through his heart.

Shen Yan couldn't help bowing her head and kissing him.

Xiao Suo didn't hide either, he closed his eyes and said, "You didn't want to urge me to get up, how can I get up like this?"

"Do you want to sleep here at night, or go home?" Shen Yan leaned on the pillow and looked at him with his face propped up, "If you sleep here, I won't rush you. If you go back, you should get up. It's cold at night , the wind is strong, you catch a cold again, what should you do?"

"As my bed friend, are you being too lenient?" Xiao Suo teased with a half-smile.

Shen Yan pinched the tip of his nose, turned around and took out a letter from the small drawer beside the bed, and showed him two small porcelain bottles: "This was found from Xu Ling's house, and I have had it checked by someone. One bottle is the poison that killed Princess Nanan. There is another bottle, guess what it is?"

Xiao Suo reluctantly opened his eyes, sat up and leaned into his arms, and said: "How can I guess, it must be something good."

"You're really wrong." Shen Yan pushed the stopper away and gave him a sniff, "How about it, does it have a strange fragrance?"

Xiao Suo nodded, and asked again: "What kind of strange thing is it? Don't be a fool."

"This is the treasure that can make you die." Shen Yan said mysteriously, "Just a little bit mixed in the water, after you drink it, you will lose your breath and your body will be as cold as a dead person."

"Like?" Xiao Suo raised his eyebrows.

"That's right, it's just like that." Shen Yan nodded, "Taking this medicine is a fake death, not a real death. You can wake up after three days of coma. It's not a good baby for the golden cicada to get out of its shell!"

Xiao Suo looked carefully again, and saw that it was filled with delicate dark red powder, with a strong floral fragrance, which was quite different from ordinary medicines, "I heard from my father when I was young that there seems to be fake death medicine in the world, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. , Even my father said he had never seen it. I thought it was a legend, but I didn’t expect it to exist. But the color of this thing is strange, and it looks evil. It seems that it can’t be used casually, and maybe it’s poisonous. Ling is good, what do you want it to do?"

"Then I have to ask this." Shen Yan shook the envelope in his hand, and opened the letter paper to him, "You know better than me, look at this handwriting."

Xiao Suo took a look, frowned and said: "I can't tell anything about the handwriting. It's more than graceful and elegant, but not steady and strong. It's not a first-class handwriting, but it's not bad. Who wrote this to him? It says please Xu Ling tried to find a way to send the fake death medicine to Princess Nan'an, why?"

Shen Yan twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a sneer, "Who else but Fanzi wants Princess Nan'an to fake her death?"

"You mean..." Xiao Suo doubted, "In order to create an excuse to reduce the annual tribute, the people of Nan'an have long planned to fake the death of Princess Nan'an, so as to use the opportunity to raise a teacher to question her, but I didn't expect Xu Ling to kill you and want to kill you. The princess was poisoned to death at the same time? But that’s not right, if that’s the case, why did they have to ask Xu Ling to hand over the fake death medicine to the princess, so why don’t they just hand it over to the princess before they get married?”

Shen Yan said: "Perhaps they don't even have this medicine in Nan'an, and they only found experts who are proficient in medicine to prepare it after they came to Beijing."

"That's not right." Xiao Suo said again, "Even so, there's no need for Xu Ling to hand it over. It's normal for the princess to have daily contact with the Nan'an people. They just prepare the medicine and pass it directly to the princess. Why bother with Qi Wang's party members? "

"If, as you said, the people of Nan'an hand over the medicine to the princess themselves, they will be implicated in case the matter fails. Don't talk about taking the opportunity to reduce or exempt the annual tribute. I'm afraid the emperor will make an order when he is angry. Crusade against Nan'an. Although they have a geographical advantage, they are still a small country, and if they fight together, their lives will be devastated. The consequences are not small, and they cannot bear it."

"And this matter has a lot to do with it. Once the princess dies, the emperor will order a thorough investigation. Sooner or later, those people who have been in contact with her will be found out, and the conspiracy will be uncovered. In fact, Princess Nan'an has always been the gate since she came here. She doesn't come out, doesn't go out, she doesn't say a word to anyone, and I haven't even seen her a few times, let alone Nan'an people. She is obviously doing it alone, in order to clean up Nan'an after she faked her death in the future. People’s suspicions. Look at the present, it’s not exactly what those fans imagined—this matter was found out by your Yushitai, and Xu Ling couldn’t get rid of it. Unaffected."

Xiao Suo felt that it was reasonable, nodded and said: "They are using Xu Ling as a knife, and they are sitting behind to reap the benefits. This trick is indeed insidious. But Xu Ling is not stupid, why would he agree to such a thing that hurts others and does not benefit himself? And the fake death medicine, who in Beijing can help them prepare it?"

"Xu Ling is going to kill me anyway, and I don't care about killing another princess. I want to come to Nan'an and promise the King Qi's party some benefits, otherwise they won't do this thankless thing for nothing. It's just that Princess Nan'an is dead. He faked his death and didn't want to really sacrifice the princess. Who knows that things backfired. I don't think the relationship between them will get better, and they may have fallen in love with each other. It's just that the dumb eat Coptis chinensis and can't take revenge clearly. I just want to talk to you Speaking of this, isn’t your Yushitai going to handle the case of King Qi? You happen to be in charge of Honglu Temple now, the time and place are favorable, so you can go to Nan’an’s permanent envoys in Beijing to inquire about it, maybe you can get some points An unexpected harvest. At that time, wouldn't it be a great achievement?"

Shen Yan looked at him triumphantly, with invitations written all over his face.

Xiao Suo poked at the corner of his lips, and said with a smile: "Such a big clue, why didn't you report it to the Xu Ling case a while ago?"

"Why do you say?" Shen Yan rarely blushed, "Why else!"

In the case of Xu Ling's poisoning, Xiao Suo had already made great contributions in finding out the truth by digging through the cocoons, and promotion afterwards was a matter of course.Since it is already a certainty, why bother to expose the collusion between Nan'an Kingdom and the King Qi Party in that case.

For the same case, making one meritorious service is a promotion, and making two meritorious deeds is also a promotion. It is absolutely impossible to go beyond the regulations of Jinfeng, and at most a few worthless rewards will be enough.What's more, Xiao Suo's mere censor, even if he found this clue at the beginning, he would have to share the credit, and there is no reason for him to monopolize the credit.

Instead of that, it would be better not to mention it.Good steel is used on the edge of a knife, and it must be done at the most appropriate time, in order to obtain the greatest benefit.

Shen Yan knew very well that the King Qi's party was precarious and would fall sooner or later.In the future, this hidden line may allow Xiao Suo to make great achievements in other cases, so he can go one step further.

After all, Shen Yan was accumulating political capital for him.

Now that Xiao Suo is well versed in the way of officialdom, he naturally understands what he means, and he is happy in his heart, but he can't say it clearly, and suddenly asks: "Then... such a good opportunity, why didn't you leave it to Yan Jun?"

"Tell him what to do?" Shen Yan curled her lips, hugged him and said, "Why let others enjoy our family's achievements? When you become prime minister, I will retire and return home, waiting for you to support me!"

"Who is 'our family' to you!" Xiao Suo pursed his lips, turned his face sideways, and said with his back: "Don't talk nonsense, why should I support you? You don't need to support me. We don't matter, as long as we have The relationship is just a relationship on the bed."

Shen Yan has long been used to being stabbed by him, so he didn't care, and still rubbed against him cheekily: "Then I don't care, I'll rely on you, on you. Now that I have no official position, I am no longer a general, nor an imperial guard. It's nothing anymore, everyone is waiting to step on me. I'll break my pot and just hang around at home. Now I have more time to stick to you like gum all day. If you don't want to, I'll come to your door Sit down and don't leave. When the time comes, people will come and go, and they will ask me what I do. I will say that the censor Xiao has been in chaos and abandoned. He went to my bed, but he didn't want my people, and drove me out of the house to beg for food. Eat, let's see where you put your face!"

Xiao Suo was buried under the quilt, and couldn't help laughing when he heard the words.

Shen Yan has repeatedly suffered from him. He has tried all kinds of methods, but he still does not want to get back to his old friendship with him and make friends with him again. He really had nowhere to go before he came up with this shameful trick. He did not expect the effect to be surprisingly good.

He intensified, pinching his earlobe with one hand, and holding his underside with the other, and said with a smirk: "You don't want me, who else can serve you like this? Others have my patience and meticulousness, my superb skills, and my golden gun Don't fall, are there many tricks?"

Xiao Suo couldn't dodge in time, and was grasped by him, his laughter gradually turned into panting, and he pushed him with his mouth flattened: "What are you doing? Just now you just... um..."

"Just now, you want it again." Shen Yan squeezed the little Dubao who raised his head and smiled at him: "You tell yourself, can others give it to you?" He sighed: "Oh, I can't give it to you." It’s me, let’s make it harder!”

Xiao Suo was so angry that he couldn't speak, his fair face was as red as an apricot, waves of joy came from under him, his hands and feet were limp, how could he resist.Originally, he was going to cover Shen Yan's open mouth, but he hung on his neck unconsciously.

"Hurry up..." He urged softly, like a bird lying in its nest.

Shen Yan smiled lightly, and scratched Xiao Dubao's head with his thumb, which really made the people in his arms tremble.What he said was right, others were indeed not as skilled as him, but within a short while, Xiao Suo had been sent to the clouds.

He stretched out his white turbidity, and stretched it out to Xiao Dubao's eyes: "Try it? It's sweet." After speaking, he actually stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked it.

Embarrassed, Xiao Suo yelled "Ah", it was hard to look at it directly, he took a coat to wipe off the stains, and scoffed: "Cheeky!"

"Hey, you're right!" Shen Yan said with a smile, "I'm thick-skinned, but you are thin-skinned. We are a match made in heaven!"

Xiao Suo let out a "hum", looked at him for a long time, and said seriously: "I don't want you anymore, do you remember? I made trouble for you in prison, and I still have no idea with Ouyang Xu. I'm really not what you imagined." Such an upright person."

"Why did you tell me this?" Shen Yan was very dissatisfied, "You're just a piece of mud, I just like it, it's none of your business, can you control it?"

"you are silly!"

"I know."
