The loyal minister was forced to marry the traitor

"Is it good or not? Only I know." Xiao Jiuqin frowned and kissed Bai Yan on the cheek, "Don't talk about that, just wait until we get married."

Bai Yan looked at him, "Are you so sure that the emperor will issue an order?"

"I've been thinking for the past two days, is it just a pretext for giving me the marriage that day? He was testing me. I didn't expect you to intervene in the middle. In the end, in order to give myself a step down, I said that I would give you and me a marriage. "

Xiao Jiuqin's eyes flickered, "Try and try, and in the end it's enough to give you and me a marriage."

"That's why this is the problem. Only you and I, Grand Master Yun, the old Taoist are the only ones who gave him the marriage that day. As long as they don't tell, who will know?"

"No joke, you have to let others know."

After hearing this, Xiao Jiuqin didn't seem to worry much, "Don't worry, since he opened his mouth, the imperial decree will arrive soon." Among other things, he still believed in Huai Chun's ability.

Bai Yan wanted to say something else, but Xiao Jiuqin shook his head, "Why don't we make a bet?"

"What bet?"

"I bet that the imperial decree of the emperor will be in your hands tomorrow morning." The corner of Xiao Jiuqin's mouth rose, "How about it? Do you dare to bet?"

Bai Yan looked at him suspiciously, "Do you know something?"

"What can I know?" Xiao Jiuqin said with an innocent face, "You just said you didn't gamble."

Bai Yan always felt that this guy was holding back something bad, he couldn't figure it out and didn't want to give up, so he followed his advice, "Just bet."

"What kind of prize do you want?"

Xiao Jiuqin squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and suddenly he flipped through the pages. He walked to the antique rack in a few steps, searched around, and took out a well-hidden book and brought it over.

"What is this?" Bai Yan stretched out his hand to take it.

"Look." Xiao Jiuqin's eyes were dark, but Bai Yan didn't notice it for a moment.

Gently flipping the pages of the book with his slender fingers, Bai Yan's face froze, and he almost couldn't hold the book firmly, "This..."

Xiao Jiuqin laughed strangely, "Isn't that about to get married? You still need to learn these things. Take a look... Besides ointment and medicine jade, what else do you need..."

"Boom!" Bai Yan pinned the book to Xiao Jiuqin's face with his backhand, "What the fuck!"

It was the first time I heard Bai Yan swearing, Xiao Jiu and Qin Yile took the book on the bottom, grabbed Bai Yan's wrist narrowly, and pulled the man who was about to run away barefoot back into his arms.

"Is this why you blush?"

Xiao Jiuqin has been a bit turbulent recently, and Bai Yan is really hard to resist. He pressed Xiao Jiuqin's chin with one hand, and pressed his chest with the other, "It's autumn recently, not early spring, so..."

His voice was gloomy, and Xiao Jiuqin blinked, "It's going to be there anyway."

"That's right." Bai Yan tilted his head, and slowly moved the hand on Xiao Jiuqin's chest to his side, curling his hair, "That night in the bridal chamber, let you have some fun..."

When Bai Yan said this, there was a little smile on his lips, his brows and eyes were bright, and his eyelashes seemed to be filled with spring water, Xiao Jiu and Qin Hun'er almost drowned in it.

Xiao Jiuqin's throat moved, his eyes were burning red, "Fairy!"

The gnashing of teeth seems to have caught Bai Yan's laughing point, he seldom laughed out loud, but this time he was trembling even, unconsciously lying in Xiao Jiuqin's arms, the two of them were close to each other, and they could move easily. Aware of the slightest change in the other party.

"Have you laughed enough?" Xiao Jiuqin leaned closer and kissed her hard...

Bai Yan pissed him off, and the two of them almost did everything they needed to do ahead of time.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Jiuqin had to leave early, but Bai Yan was in a drowsy sleep, the bed curtains were loose, and the weather outside was not good. Unexpectedly, he vaguely heard someone calling him.

Bai Yan barely opened his eyes, the quilt slipped off, revealing dots and spots, he frowned, his waist was sore and painful, he couldn't help scolding Xiao Jiuqin, and the door was knocked lightly twice.

"Are you awake, sir?"

It was Yu's voice.

"Come in." Bai Yan's voice was half hoarse, he cleared his throat and somehow healed better, Wen Yu carefully opened the door and came in, but he didn't dare to raise his head, he just said carefully, "My lord, someone is coming from the palace."

"Huh?" Bai Yan didn't react for a moment.

Wen Yu explained again, "Eunuch Huaichun came in person, and he seems to be holding an imperial edict in his hand."

Bai Yan was stunned for a moment, and went back to the bed in a short while. He didn't have time to wash up carefully. His own clothes were already wrinkled last night, so he had to take one from Xiao Jiuqin to change.

Rao has already tucked in some places, but it is still slightly wider, Bai Yan rolled up his sleeves and went out following the news.

Walking through the corridor, Huai Chun stood in front of the flower hall.

The sky was not very clear, and there was still a little drizzle, Huai Chun's shoulders were already wet, but he was tall and tall, and his back was familiar, yet alienated.

Today Huaichun is wearing a Chuhong round collar gown, cloud-climbing boots, and a bright white jade hanging around his waist.

Hearing Bai Yan's voice coming, Huai Chun turned to look at him, "I guess you are in the Hou Mansion."

Bai Yan didn't speak.

Huai Chun smiled again, "It was my fault for locking you up earlier." As if he wanted to dissolve all the previous entanglements in that smile, Bai Yan's heart that had softened wanted to be soaked by the rain again, after a long time , he heard his own voice, "Where am I, someone will report to you, are you saying this now to tell me that you haven't checked my tracks?"

Bai Yan didn't want to say words of punishment, especially if the other party was Huai Chun, but every time this person tried to test him, he always tried to be smart.

In the past, he didn't see it through, probably because of the friendship between the two of them, he always deliberately made excuses for him, but since the two had a quarrel that day, Bai Yan couldn't continue to trust him as before.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Huai Chun staggered his eyes, "I came today to announce the decree."

Huai Chun pushed back the hem of his clothes that didn't fit well, and knelt down with his head bowed.

"The emperor's order is accepted by the heavens, and the queen survives. Xiao Jiuqin, the Marquis of Pingjin, has a filial piety and pays equal attention to civil and military affairs. It coincides with this year. The left deputy capital Yushi Baiyan is loyal and wise. He follows the ritual scriptures and speaks in accordance with the history. Give grace, make a family, and prolong the loyalty of your ministers. In addition, you will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold, one thousand pieces of brocade, a jade table with begonias and green leaves wrapped around branches, and a glass jade bottle with a blue and white bottom..."

After reading eloquently for a long time, Bai Yan knelt until his knees became sore, Huai Chun received the imperial decree and handed it to him, "From now on, you and Xiao Jiuqin will be both prosperous and prosperous..."

Holding the imperial decree in his hand, Bai Yan felt a little unreal.

"The marriage you two have sought, don't regret it." Huai Chun helped Bai Yan up, as if in a lifetime, but the next moment he heard Bai Yan's voice softly, "I have no choice but to seek perfection in this life, and I won't regret it." .”

Huai Chun was slightly taken aback, then sighed for a while, "Since that's the case, I wish you two will raise your eyebrows in the future."

Bai Yan nodded, "Thank you."

The decree that should be proclaimed has been announced, and Huai Chun was about to leave. Before leaving, he turned his head, "The imperial decree said that we should get married before the year, and there is no one to take care of the Baifu and Houfu. If you are too busy, I can do it too." ..."

"No need." Bai Yan refused, not because he was still holding a grudge, and it was not because he was trying to scare Huai Chun, but he wanted to deal with his marriage with Xiao Jiuqin himself.

Seeing that his attitude was firm, Huai Chun didn't say anything, turned around and left.

The courtyard was quiet again, with Bai Yan holding the imperial decree in his hand, he walked to the stone table and sat down, Wen Yu looked at his face, a little worried, "My lord, it's still raining today, why don't you go in first?"

"Let me be alone for a while." There were some indistinct emotions in Bai Yan's eyes.

Wen Yu didn't dare to urge him, so he had to turn around and leave, and after a while, he brought hot tea by his hand.

The rain in the corridor was getting heavier and heavier, Bai Yan looked at the rain curtain, unfolded the imperial decree in his hand, and read it word by word.

He has never been really relieved, and getting married with Xiao Jiuqin seems to be something that he has been thinking about for a long time but makes him at a loss.

Touching the dry handwriting on it with the pulp of his fingers, he somehow remembered the gilded brocade scroll five years ago.

It was also a rainy day, he leaned against the cold wall of the prison, his consciousness drifted away with the sound of the rain, wondering what happened to the people in the Hou Mansion, and whether that guy Xiao Jiuqin was jumping up and down again and wanted to come to the prison to look for him.

After an unknown amount of time, a person walked in from the outside, wearing Chu Hong's eunuch uniform, with a clean chin, but his voice seemed to be choked, "Are you still lying down?"

"Drag him out quickly, and send him wherever he should."

As the sound fell, the jailer opened the lock and dragged him out, taking him out from left to right.

Bai Yan's knees hurt time after time, as if countless knives were slicing his flesh. He was short of breath, choked in a mouthful of moisture, and coughed out of breath.

Coughing so hard that his face was red and his neck was thick, and blood oozes from his mouth, the eunuch yelled again, "Look, don't kill me..."

"If it is really killed, you and I will be in bad luck!"

There was buzzing in Bai Yan's ears, he squinted his eyes, and let the other party drag him into a place with no light everywhere, where the up, down, left, and right sides were no more than the size of a coffin, and he could only barely curl up his body.

"In fact, it's better to die if you are like this, but you have offended someone who shouldn't be offended. There are so many people out there who want to kill you. You can only hold back and admit your bad luck, and spend the rest of your life begging for help from Lord Hades." Pleading for mercy, throw yourself into the animal way, and you will probably be able to enjoy some blessings."

"Whether I'll be a beast in my next life is a matter of opinion, but it's better than being inferior to a beast in this life..." Bai Yan was weak, but his tongue was still sharp. Kicked a few feet in.

"Don't be arrogant, since the founding of the country, no one has come out of here!"

In that narrow and cramped place, Bai Yan couldn't even stretch his legs and feet, and finally curled up. After an unknown amount of time, a big gash was cut on the top of his head, and a brocade scroll was thrown into his arms.

Grand Master Yun looked down at him, "Is he dead?"

Bai Yan was reluctant to talk to others, especially Grand Master Yun had bad intentions and always wanted to fight against the Marquis of Pingjin.

"Look at the contents inside, I think you will struggle to get out..."

Bai Yan remained silent, and he hesitated to open the brocade scroll after a long while. With the help of the light above his head, he managed to see clearly the contents inside.

The next moment, he suddenly seemed to explode with great strength, struggling to get out, his palm was cut by sharp edges, and he didn't seem to know the pain.

Grand Master Yun blocked his way, "You are just a boy who has not reached the crown, so what if you go out now, who can you save?"

Bai Yan was silent, his fingers tightened.

"How about I give you a way, the choice is in your hands, as for which one you choose, you don't suffer any disadvantages, but the ugly words are up front, how can you do it without paying some price?"
