The loyal minister was forced to marry the traitor

"Well……"

In a daze, Bai Yan felt that the tip of Xiao Jiuqin's tongue was touching something, and he was about to push it out subconsciously, but the big hand on his waist pinched it, and a numbness spread all over his body in an instant.

"Xiao..." Bai Yan only had time to spit out a word before Xiao Jiuqin dragged him in again.

The thing popped open on the tip of his tongue, something flashed in Bai Yan's mind, but before he could catch it, Xiao Jiuqin pinched it maliciously again. This time, Mr. Bai has no time to think about those things no.

The next day, Bai Yan woke up slowly, the bed was covered with curtains, the candles in the room had been extinguished, and there was still a scent of awakening spirit.

"Xiao Jiuqin?" The other side of the couch was cold to the touch, he was slightly suspicious, he called out a couple of times, but still nothing happened, so he put on a coat and went down barefoot.

He doesn't come to this Zhuangzi often, and there is no Xiudilong in the house, and when he steps on it with bare feet, a chill runs down his calf.

"Squeak..." He pushed open the door, and there was a gust of dampness blowing in his face. The rain outside the corridor was pattering, and the wet petals fell to the ground. In the distance, two or three servants didn't know what they were doing. .

Suddenly, a person walked in from the outside, with his head down, holding something in his hand.

Bai Yan called softly, "Cheng Yang!"

The man looked up, and it was indeed Cheng Yang.

It's just that the other party hesitated for a moment, looking at Bai Yan from a distance, he was a little at a loss.

Bai Yan didn't speak a word, the distance wasn't too close, Cheng Yang couldn't see his expression clearly, and finally walked over slowly.

"Why don't you wear shoes when you come out? It's raining, the ground is damp, don't get over the cold..."

Bai Yan turned around and went in, Cheng Yang just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but he heard Bai Yan say, "You always talk too much when you feel guilty, tell me, where did Xiao Jiuqin go?"

"My lord..." Cheng Yang followed behind him, watching Bai Yan put on his shoes and socks, and sent someone to bring water in for a bath.

There was a screen in the middle, Cheng Yang could only hear the sound of water, Bai Yan didn't rush him, so he delayed for a while before he tentatively said, "Master Hou has something important to do in the barracks this morning, so I asked my servant to take good care of you. The people in the master's residence may make trouble for you, and Eunuch Huaichun will not let it go, Lord Hou said to let you hide here for a while."

There was silence on the other side of the screen for a while before Bai Yan said softly, "I gave you time to think of an excuse, but you just came up with such a flawed phrase?"

In a word, it clearly revealed Cheng Yang's lie.

Cheng Yang felt helpless for a while, and finally confessed, "Master Hou was taken away."

The sound of water stopped behind the screen.

He was hesitating when he heard Bai Yan ask, "Are you from Huai Chun or from Yun Zhong?"

"Neither of them." Cheng Yang shook his head, only to realize later that Bai Yan couldn't see, "It's His Majesty's person, but it's actually not considered as being taken away. It was Hou Ye himself who handed His Majesty a copybook. Unknown, but everyone in the palace reacted greatly, and Lord Hou was waiting outside Zhuangzi before dawn this morning."

"I've been drugged." Bai Yan's voice was light and light, but Cheng Yang had been serving him for so long, so why couldn't he hear the hidden anger in his words.

"Master Hou just said before he left that he asked me to take good care of you, and..." He carefully turned his head to look at the Golden Beast Stove, his teeth ached, "It has been dyed with some soothing incense."

"Anshen incense?" Bai Yan came out of the water, the water on his body slid down his skin, without even wiping, he raised his hand to get his clothes and put them on.

The remaining water wet the clothes, and the red marks on the neck were too conspicuous, Cheng Yang quickly lowered his head, "There is also the medicine that Master Hou gave you."

Neither the medicine nor the incense had a stupor effect, but when both were used, they were able to stun a person without any outside influence being known.

Bai Yan remained silent, and called someone in to pass on the meal.

His calm reaction was beyond Cheng Yang's expectation. If he lost his temper... Cheng Yang shook his head crazily in his heart. The number of times his son got angry can be counted on the fingers, so...

So it's even more scary!

Cheng Yang shrank to the side, like a quail, Bai Yan ignored him, had breakfast, and wrote a few more big characters.

His unhurried appearance did not seem to worry about his newlywed husband being taken away.

I always feel that something is wrong.

No, it is extremely wrong.

Cheng Yang was alone there thinking: Could it be that Lord Hou didn't take good care of his young master on the night of the bridal chamber, so he was happy the next day.

Even, his young master was secretly happy, hoping that the emperor would clean up Lord Hou.

The more he thought about it, the more he walked in an uncontrollable direction, Cheng Yang had a weird expression on his face, and secretly looked at Bai Yan's face several times.

Bai Yan also acted as if he couldn't see, and slowly used up a bowl of porridge and a few vegetarian dumplings.

After the maid took away the bowls and chopsticks, Bai Yan cleaned his hands and seemed to be going to sleep for a while.

Cheng Yang finally couldn't bear it anymore, and asked in a low voice, "Master Hou was taken away by His Majesty's people..."

"Yeah." Bai Yan didn't seem to care.

"Young master, won't you save Lord Hou?" Cheng Yang poked his head, he couldn't understand it, after all, before today, his young master and Lord Hou had a deep affection, and the intimacy was difficult for anyone to get in. .

Why, after one night, Hou Ye seemed to be "fading in love", could it be... that's not working, right?

"It was the emperor who took him away, how can I save him?" Bai Yan's brows were indifferent, if he hadn't been serving him for a long time, Cheng Yang would have been almost fooled by his reaction.

"Your Majesty, after all, is a hero who fought against Beidi, so your Majesty shouldn't treat him like that?" Cheng Yang really had no confidence when he said this.

Bai Yan glanced at him, "The emperor can even punish his own son, do you think Xiao Jiuqin can take the credit and be proud?"

"Besides," Bai Yan's eyes gradually darkened, "the former emperor might have been scrupulous, but now...he is confused, and he only knows about alchemy all day long. You think Xiao Jiuqin can be so safe in his hands ?"

"You don't care about that young master, Lord Hou is alone and helpless, there is no one else to save him except you!"

"That's why you have to calm down." Bai Yan's voice was neither loud nor soft, and Cheng Yang didn't notice his clenched fist under his sleeve at all.

Where is he not paying attention, he is clearly suppressing the worries in his heart, forcing himself to stabilize.

It was only an hour since he woke up, and many thoughts had flashed through Bai Yan's mind. He used up his things with difficulty, and drank all the medicine Luo Yun presented.

This time, he didn't even ask for candied fruit.

The bitterness in his mouth made him rarely sober, but he also figured out one thing.

Cheng Yang was not careful enough, and was still rambling on, Luoyun suddenly called him, pulled him over and reprimanded him, "Master Hou was taken away, no one is more worried about his safety than the young master, don't bother the young master anymore .”

Cheng Yang wanted to argue, but Luo Yun glared at him, "Why do you think the young master ate food and drank the medicine honestly today, and didn't even frown... He was afraid that he would fall down. I can save Lord Hou."

In fact, it was Luoyun who saw all this in his eyes. Bai Yan was deep in his thoughts, but if he observed carefully, he would find that he was different from usual today.

What's more, everyone knows that yesterday, Bai Yan and Xiao Jiuqin got married, and the two of them have disappeared since the church visit, and they entertained guests by congratulations and strict rules.

Because of this incident, Grand Master Yun repeatedly scolded the two of them for "disrespecting legal principles". No one in the whole Hou Mansion dared to touch his bad luck. In the end, Xue Liangfu, the former chief assistant of the cabinet, came out to refute.

He didn't know what Xiao Jiuqin's plans were, but Xue Liangfu couldn't bear it anymore when Bai Yan was slandered in public on the big day.

He and Yun Zhong, one is a commoner who is an official, and the other is a grand master who has power over the government and the public, but no one dares to disrespect Xue Liangfu.

Even though he has retired, the disciples behind him are still there, and Xue Liangfu's reputation is obviously better than Yun Zhong, who is used to suppressing his subordinates, so after he spoke, many people stood by him here.

Yun Zhong's previous good plan was completely thwarted, and the people sent by Huai Chun were also in vain.

Except for the house to the west of Yingdu, no one knew where Bai Yan and the others were.

The two of them in the bridal chamber of the private villa had no idea that there were already rumors about it outside.

Xiao Jiuqin and Bai Yan didn't discuss it in advance, but both of them tacitly ignored the outside world. The beauty of last night was hidden in this small private villa, and they were greedy for a long time. In order to eliminate potential infestation.

Xiao Jiuqin put everything else aside from beginning to end, and he absorbed Bai Yan wholeheartedly, until the joy cooled down, he tucked the quilt for Bai Yan, bowed and kissed his forehead, and then turned and left.

It didn't take long for Jin Yiwei to find out about Bai Yan before, and after that, he found out about the Nanyi prince, so many thoughts rose and fell in his mind, but in the end he chose the most unfavorable one, but it was also for Bai Yan The safest way.

That is, he took over the matter himself.

Looking at Bai Yan, he murmured in his heart, I have wronged you so much in the past five years, and I may not be able to make up for it in this lifetime, so this time I will step on this thorny road for you first.

Bai Yan's patience is always good, but this time he couldn't hold back.

Just before He Zhaoyuan came to find him, he got the news: Xiao Jiuqin had been thrown into imperial prison.

The word "prison" is Bai Yan's nightmare, and it is also the beginning of his nightmare.

Five years ago, he lost the Marquis of Pingjin, lost his teacher, and also lost Xiao Jiuqin.

Five years later, what is left of him?

Mud spots were splashed on Bai Yan's clean shoes, and the pattering rain soon drenched his clothes. Behind him, Cheng Yang chased after him holding an umbrella, and He Zhaoyuan hurried over on horseback not far away.

"My Lord, he..."

"I know." Bai Yan interrupted He Zhaoyuan, snatched his horse and turned on his back. The horse neighed and left quickly.

"Hurry up and bring the horse, young master, he's not good at riding a horse, don't let anything happen!" Cheng Yang followed after him, and He Zhaoyuan didn't have time to say anything else, so they changed horses and chased after him.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Bai Yan's clothes were soaked, his legs were in severe pain as if being pricked by needles, and his hands were bleeding from the reins, but he didn't seem to notice it, and galloped all the way to the gate of Beizhen Fusi.

"Where did Master Bo come from?" Jin Yiwei at the door was an acquaintance, and he had brought someone to detain him before, but in the blink of an eye, another person was locked in.

Bai Yan was impatient and said bluntly, "I want to see Marquis Pingjin."

"Yo, Mr. Bai has such great authority!" The other party was sure of his current predicament, and wanted to make things difficult for him, "You and Marquis Pingjin were married yesterday, why did you find the master today? Could it be that the bridal chamber last night... ...not very comfortable, it's too..."

"Zheng..." Bai Yan pulled out the Xiuchun Knife from Jin Yiwei's side, and touched the man's neck in a horrified manner.

His voice was cold and harsh, "Can I see you?"
