The loyal minister was forced to marry the traitor

Wei Chengfeng had almost no chance of making a comeback, but when Bai Yan left the palace gate, he was stopped by a small yellow gate.

It was still the one next to Huai Chun.

Bai Yan walked over naturally, and bowed to the little yellow door, "My lord, my father-in-law is here to invite you."

The two were about to leave, "Bai Yan." Xiao Jiuqin suddenly appeared and shouted.

Bai Yan turned his head back, "You go back first, after I go to see him, you will return home." The two had a tacit understanding without words, and Xiao Jiuqin didn't need to say anything to Bai Yan to understand what he meant.

"I'll be waiting for you outside the palace." Xiao Jiuqin only took half a step back.

Bai Yan shook his head at him, "Go back, this is not the Bai Mansion, nor the Pingjin Hou Mansion."

Evil ghosts are everywhere, and if you are not careful, there will be countless people gossiping at the emperor.

The emperor just dealt with Wei Chengfeng. When he went back and thought about it carefully, and when the wind blew on Concubine Feng's pillow, he would find out that something was wrong. Even if he couldn't blame Bai Yan and the others, it was natural to vent his anger.

Bai Yan was well aware of the pros and cons, and he didn't want to involve Xiao Jiuqin. Xiao Jiuqin stared at him for a long time, and finally nodded.

Bai Yan entered the palace again, this time led by the little yellow gate, there was no obstacle along the way, but on the way, Bai Yan didn't know whether he was dazzled for a moment or something, he seemed to see an acquaintance.

"My lord?" Xiao Huangmen was puzzled.

"It's okay, keep going." Bai Yan shook his head, how could that person come back now, he hasn't got any news so far, so he probably missed it.

After going around seven times and eight times, he came to a quiet place, not far from a pavilion, Huai Chun was wrapping up a big cloak and making tea.

The scent of tea could be smelled from a distance, Bai Yan's face relaxed, and he walked over slowly.

"Come, try my newly brewed tea." Huai Chun rolled up his sleeves and handed the tea to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan sniffed lightly first, then slowly drank it down.

"How is it?" Huai Chun looked expectant, "This is new tea, just sent to the palace, you are the first to taste it." Huai Chun poured a cup himself, just sniffed it, but didn't drink it.

Bai Yan put down his cup and shook his head like chatting, "It's more fragrant than the brewed tea, but the aftertaste is not as good as the former."

"Really?" Huai Chun sipped his mouth, squinted his eyes, and nodded for a while, "You still know tea better, but I can't."

Bai Yan shook his head, "I don't know much about tea, but Uncle Xiao liked it in the past, so I know a little bit about it."

"The 'Uncle Xiao' you mentioned must not refer to the housekeeper in your house now, but the former Marquis of Pingjin?" Huai Chun didn't seem to feel sorry for how precious the tea was, and directly spilled it.

Bai Yan watched as he took out a good purple sand pot, slowly brewed another pot of tea, and filled it up for the two of them, "The brewed tea is not good, so I spilled it clean."

As if there was something to be said, Bai Yan didn't answer, and answered his last question, "He is Xiao Jiuqin's father. He knows a lot of things, even cooking..."

As if completely ignoring who was sitting across from him, Bai Yan recalled lightly and said, "It is said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, but he never seems to care about the golden and jade words left by his ancestors. Just stay and raise him as your son."

Speaking of this, he smiled, "He once said that the only regret in his life was not being able to give birth to a daughter. Looking at the four boys in the Hou's mansion, he said he was disgusted, but every time he came back from the military camp, he always squeezed his face, and then Urging a few people to eat more meat..."

Huai Chun's lips moved, "You're already fine..."

Bai Yan seemed not to have heard, and continued to say, "During the period when I was growing up the most, I would always cramp when I fell asleep, and it hurt." He pursed his lips and smiled, "It's numb and painful, It's so uncomfortable, you probably can't think of it, but he doesn't dislike anything, squatting on the side of the bed and rubbing my feet."

"Probably in this world, most of the fathers can't do this." Bai Yan's hair on the side of his temple covered one of his eyes, Huai Chun couldn't see his eyes, he hesitated a little and spoke,

"I didn't want to pick up your scars today."

Bai Yan remained silent.

He thought: I see what you mean.

"Pingjinhou is very kind to you, Xiao Jiuqin is also very kind, and you are all very kind, but... this is enough."

Huai Chun took a sip of his tea, "I know it's a bit embarrassing for you, but Bai Yan, Xiao Jiuqin and you are not the same, the closer you get to him now, the two of you will be a target in the future."

"Those who want to harm you will implicate him, and so will those who harm him, especially not only me but Grand Master Yun standing behind you."

As soon as the words "Grand Master Yun" came out, Bai Yan was slightly startled.

Knowing that he had grasped Bai Yan's lifeblood, Huai Chun patted Bai Yan's arm, "The emperor is afraid of Grand Master Yun, and you are the most important person of Grand Master Yun, once you take the lead with Xiao Jiuqin, what will the emperor think?" ?”

"It's a big taboo to be the master of meritorious deeds. Xiao Jiuqin has already taken the same position, but what if he and Grand Master Yun also have a relationship?"

"The important minister has a very close personal relationship, this one is enough for Xiao Jiuqin to stumble."

"He and I are not what you think." Bai Yan retorted suddenly.

Huai Chun couldn't help snorting, "It's not that kind of relationship?" He seemed to have heard some joke, "Ask yourself, do you believe that?"

"The two of you have already been targeted in Yongzhou Mansion. When I got the news, I only had time to send someone to stop half of it. You'd better think about what you two have done. Don't blame me for not telling you."

"What have you done?" Even Bai Yan frowned suspiciously, "What can he and I do?"

Huai Chun raised his eyebrows, "What else can you two do, that matter..." At this point, he suddenly shut up.

But Bai Yan reacted sharply, and immediately shook his head, "I haven't done it."

"No?" Huai Chun didn't believe it.

"Really not." Bai Yan swore firmly.

"Then why do some people say that Marquis of Pingjin rented a house and was inseparable from you. The magistrate and co-prefect of Xiaoyang Mansion couldn't see each other several times, and everyone around knew it."

"This..." Bai Yan suddenly didn't know how to speak. After all, the house was rented, and the two of them didn't come in easily, but...

"The two of us have never done it!"

Bai Yan didn't know what he was obsessed with, he was used to Huai Chun, and he didn't hesitate to say anything, but he couldn't explain such a private matter, but he didn't know which muscle was wrong, he just couldn't easily admit that he hadn't done.

It was as if... He and Xiao Jiuqin hadn't reached that step yet, but once they pretended to be perfunctory, it seemed that the matter had been confirmed, as if he had prostituted Lord Xiao for nothing.

It was still when Xiao Jiuqin didn't realize that Bai Yan had prostituted him for nothing.

"Xiao Jiuqin can't do it?" Huai Chun opened his eyes slightly, and a little disbelief flashed across his usually gentle face.

Bai Yan: "..."

"Or you can't do it?" Huai Chun's speculation has gradually exaggerated to this point, Bai Yan was speechless and denied, "I'm good at it."

Fearing that Xiao Jiuqin would be labeled as "no" again, Bai Yan quickly added, "Xiao Jiuqin is also very good."

Huai Chun opened his mouth, "Oh, that's it..." He still looked a little hesitant, and Bai Yan was speechless, "You and I can talk about normal things, let's just let it go."

Huai Chun thought for a while, "That's what I said just now, you and Xiao Jiuqin must not get so close again."

Bai Yan's reluctance was on his face, he asked, "What kind of intimacy? We have to go to court every day, and the two of us must meet."

"It's just... the two of you don't want to do such unruly things again. I heard that during the time in Yongzhou Mansion, you couldn't even walk, so Xiao Jiuqin is too..."

"Too" what, Huai Chun couldn't say it for a while, Bai Yan looked at him, he was more wronged than Dou E, "I was injured by a crossbar, it's not like him, where did you hear that?" News? If the hidden stakes under my command are useless, I will give you some."

"No need." Huai Chun waved his hand, "Just keep your three melons and two dates for guarding the door."

Bai Yan: "..." If it weren't for the years of friendship between the two of them, he would have strangled this guy to death by now.

"However," Bai Yan was a little puzzled, "Xiao Jiuqin is so vigilant, how can your people know so much?"

Huai Chun's eyes changed slightly.

Bai Yan waited for a long time before he could answer, so he looked up at him, "What's wrong?"

"I originally wanted to send someone to protect you, but...something went wrong." Huai Chun put his fingers on his knees, twitched his thumb and index finger lightly,

Bai Yan comforted him, "It's nothing, I'm here all right?" He thought that Huai Chun felt sorry for his injury, so he comforted him instead.

Huai Chun didn't seem to want to say more, he picked up another matter and told Bai Yan, "A few days when you were not in Yingdu, something happened in the palace, a little eunuch from a royal dining room sneaked into His Majesty's meal Put the medicine."

Bai Yan was taken aback: "Why haven't I heard anything about this?"

"I suppressed it." Huai Chun looked around and whispered, "Do you know what the medicine is?"

"what?"

"Thank you thistle." Huai Chun took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, which contained some medicinal powder, pointed to it and said, "This is a unique thing in northern Xinjiang, and at most it is bought by drug dealers as a medicine primer." , but a bag the size of a palm was found out from the little eunuch's room."

Bai Yan twitched a bit and sniffed, "This Xie Ji Cao is not clean, and Daliang has banned the sale of this thing in large quantities, how could that little eunuch get so much and bring it into the palace?"

"So this is the most puzzling thing." Huai Chun served the emperor every day, and such a thing had never happened before.

Fortunately, now that he is in full power, it is not difficult to deal with a small eunuch calmly, but this matter must be investigated. Bai Yan understands his hidden worries and thinks about it. The head of the little eunuch, if I remember correctly, a little eunuch died in the imperial dining room half a year ago, and the person involved might have been secretly inserted/entered at that time."

When Bai Yan said this, Huai Chun was startled.

"What kind of eyes do you have? Didn't you tell me about this back then?" Bai Yan poured tea for the two of them, and said, "Just now when I entered the palace, I saw someone, guess who it is?"

"Yun Qiyin."

Although Bai Yan had some confidence in his heart, he still had a headache when he said it. It really was her.

"She probably didn't notice you, otherwise you might not be able to get away today." When Huai Chun said this, he seemed to be watching the scene, and Bai Yan gave him a look, "Don't take pleasure in others' misfortunes so obviously, or someday you When I'm unlucky, I laugh at you like this."

"How could it be gloating?" Huai Chun pointed in a certain direction outside the palace, "If one day you become Grand Master Yun's son-in-law..."

"Impossible." Bai Yan interrupted him, "I'm Duanxiu."

Huai Chun raised his eyes, "Only for Xiao Jiuqin?"

Bai Yan remained silent.

Huai Chun looked at his expression, "Haven't you two never done it before? As long as you don't show your heart for a day, then you will be a son-in-law in the eyes of Grand Master Yun."

"Especially, that Yun Qiyin likes you very much."

Until he walked out of Miyagi, Bai Yan was still out of his mind. He was thinking about something in his mind, and for a while, he lost his footing and almost fell down.

Catching him with one hand, Bai Yan raised his head, "Why are you still here?"

Xiao Jiuqin didn't speak, what did he say, I don't trust you, afraid that you won't come out after you go in?

Master Xiao Hou knew that he couldn't say such tedious words, so he just gave him a fierce look, scooped him up, and sent him directly into the carriage.

"The car at my house..." Bai Yan was still struggling.

Xiao Jiuqin held him down and kissed him hard, "I drove him away."

Bai Yan was bitten by him, and his eyes widened in anger, "Are you a dog?!"

"No." Xiao Jiuqin made a gesture to kiss him again, but Bai Yan blocked him, "Wait a minute, why are you in love for a long time?"
