The loyal minister was forced to marry the traitor

Xiao Jiuqin had already stepped in with one foot, but he retracted again, reached out and knocked on the half-open door.

Bai Yan turned his head and met his eyes.

The next moment he turned his head quickly again, a thin layer of red appeared at the end of his eyes.

This is a bit embarrassing!

Yun Qiyin glanced around between the two of them, and frowned, "Marquis Pingjin is also a military lord after all, how can he imitate those who don't know etiquette, and insist on staring at Bai Yan all the time, for fear that he will be eaten by me. Or are you afraid that he will run away?"

What she said was that the two came in one after the other, and there was not much time difference between them, so Xiao Jiuqin tacitly stared at Bai Yan closely.

But Xiao Jiuqin was indeed wronged. He didn't intend to explain, but he was afraid that Bai Yan would misunderstand him following him, so he explained honestly, "Just now I saw your carriage stopped in front of the restaurant, so I came to take a look."

"En." Bai Yan's voice was a little soft.

Seeing the reaction of the two of them, Yun Qiyin suddenly felt that she was a little redundant. She patted the table, and Bai Yan looked over after hearing the sound. Just like him? Did he bully you? "

Yun Qiyin looked fierce, but Bai Yan knew that this girl looked fierce on the surface, but she was actually a timid girl with a fierce face and a soft heart.

Sure enough, Xiao Jiuqin couldn't listen anymore, he took a step forward, stood beside Bai Yan, his eyes were cold, "What does it have to do with you?"

"You!" Yun Qiyin is such a charming young lady, she grew up so big, she always hugged her and followed her, the only one who was more fierce than him was Bai Yan, and now there is another Marquis of Pingjin.

Immediately, her cheeks were flushed with anger, and her hands were about to be put on her hips when she saw the momentum, but the maid next to her coughed lightly, and she suddenly reacted and put her hands down without embarrassment, without stopping her mouth, "I'm talking to Bai Yan , what does it have to do with you?"

As she spoke, she became aggrieved, "I originally wanted to bring Bai Yan and my cousin together. She is beautiful and gentle, and she can play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting..."

Xiao Jiuqin's eyelids twitched, and Bai Yan couldn't bear to look directly at her. Miss Yun did something wrong, why did she become a matchmaker?

"When I first heard that His Majesty wanted to marry you and me, I was terrified. I didn't want to marry you." Yun Qiyin glanced at Bai Yan, "Although you are good-looking, but you can't be good-looking." Eat it as a meal."

When she said this, she didn't forget to ask for help, "It's not useless to look good, even... it's pleasing to the eye, but I prefer to be nice to me."

The little girl murmured, "You treat me badly, always perfunctory, and don't like to talk to me. Back then, I helped you escape, but my father scolded me and punished me!"

Yun Qiyin babbled alone, Bai Yan looked funny, afraid that she would be annoyed by no one answering, so he followed her words and asked, "What's the punishment?"

He was quite curious about how Grand Master Yun would be punished for being a young lady with sore eyeballs.

"I was not allowed to eat, not even a sip of tea, and let me sit in the ancestral hall to reflect!"

Yun Qiyin specially emphasized the word "sit", "For three hours, my legs were numb, and when I was hungry and went to get tribute fruit snacks, I almost couldn't stand still."

The resentment in the words was very obvious, but Bai Yan almost laughed.

Sure enough, it was something this young lady could do.

Others are punished to kneel, but here she is punished to sit, and she still complains that her legs are numb.

That's all for nothing, she even ate the tribute fruit snacks given to her ancestors in the ancestral hall.

Bai Yan couldn't help laughing, but Yun Qiyin was not very happy, "You're still laughing!"

"My father hasn't been out of the gate lately, and he complains of illness every day. He heard people say that he recruited brother Dan to come to Yun's mansion several times, but Huai Chun detained him. My father was furious, and seemed to have fallen out with Huai Chun."

"And once you get married with this Marquis of Pingjin, he will definitely guard against you."

It's not that Yun Qiyin doesn't understand these conspiracies between them, but he just feels that Bai Yan is weak, and that according to his father's method, Bai Yan won't get any benefits, so he spends a little more time thinking, trying to do as much as possible. Protect a little bit of Bai Yan.

After all, Bai Yan saved her life back then.

"How is your father's health recently? He was ambushed when he returned to Ying, and the sword that was injured, has he recovered from the injury?"

Bai Yan's eyes moved slightly, Xiao Jiuqin glanced at him.

Yun Qiyin didn't know anything, so he answered by himself, "It's all right. His Majesty has given me medicine several times, brother Chengdan sent the imperial doctor to come several times, brother Chengju also came here once, and brought a lot of medicine. Less precious medicinal materials."

Yun Qiyin usually stays in the mansion, and she doesn't pay attention to any matters, but since Yun Zhong's accident, she was confined in the mansion for a long time, and accompanied Master Yun to recuperate every day, and she was able to stay honest at first , and then I always wanted to run outside.

"During this period of time, there are always strangers in the mansion. Occasionally, I bumped into them, saying that His Majesty in the palace is now obsessed with cultivating immortals. Asked, Wei Chengfeng mother and son seem to be a little ready to move recently. My father has worked hard on this, and recruited him again yesterday. Once, doctor."

Yun Qiyin has said so much, but in fact, the really terrible thing is still not fully said.

Even though she was Miss Jiao, she knew what to say and what not to say. Even if she wanted to save Bai Yan, she couldn't ignore her father.

"I see." Bai Yan was grateful for her being able to remind him at this moment.

"You don't have to think what I'm thinking, but you saved me once at that time." Yun Qiyin took out another letter to Bai Yan, "Since you want to marry Pingjin Hou, then I won't look for you again in the future. You get married, my cousin deserves better."

She is clearly just a little girl, but she speaks in a dignified manner, "I am writing this letter to you to ask you for one thing."

"What's the matter?" Bai Yan knew that she would not lie, so since the letter was taken out, it must be something not simple.

"I don't know yet, so why don't you owe me a favor, and if I need it in the future, I will come to you."

"How?" Yun Qiyin showed a sly smile.

Bai Yan hesitated.

"It's about the one in the palace. I secretly stole it from my father's study and copied a copy of the original. As for the contents, I think you might be surprised."

"How do I know that you didn't change the content inside, maybe even this letter doesn't exist." Bai Yan looked at the letter on the table, "Will you help me deal with your father?"

"Don't get me wrong." Yun Qiyin waved his hand, "I never helped you fight against my father, but I don't know why, I always think you and Huai Chun are too smart, if one day..."

She didn't finish.

But Bai Yan understood what she meant.

Yun Qiyin wanted to leave a way out.

Huai Chun is not a suitable person to do business with, Yun Qiyin doesn't trust him, but Bai Yan is different, she still believes, even though they are not on the same line now.

"Okay, I promise you." Bai Yan finally believed Yun Qiyin's words, "But let me explain in advance that what you want me to do must not violate morality, and must not concern Daliang or the people around me."

"Yes." Yun Qiyin readily agreed.

She slowly pushed the letter to Bai Yan's hand, "I swear that every word and every sentence in it is transcribed according to the true letter. As for the things inside, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to check it."

"However," she changed her voice, "I heard that a former co-prefect of Xiaoyang Mansion named Zeng Xuan came from Suiyang Mountain." Yun Qiyin curled his lips, "He probably knows a lot."

After Yun Qiyin finished speaking, she was about to leave.

But Bai Yan called her, "Your father is looking for Zeng Xuan?"

"I don't know about that." Yun Qiyin shook her head, but said nothing.

"Is there anything else you want to ask me?" Yun Qiyin poured himself a cup of tea, "I came here today because I was suffocating in the mansion, I came out to relax, and by the way, I will repay your kindness for saving me earlier."

"From now on, you and I will have no entanglement except that promise. Well, who told you to fall in love with such a reckless man, such a good person as my cousin, you really have no vision!"

"No, no luck!"

Yun Qiyin turned into her previous mischievous appearance again, even Xiao Jiuqin was amazed, as if she wasn't the one who "dealed" with Bai Yan before.

Yun Qiyin babbled and left, while Bai Yan and Xiao Jiuqin sat at the table, opened the letter and read it, the two looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of disbelief in each other's eyes.

"Song asked him..."

The two of them never expected that his identity would be like this.

"Then Zeng Xuan?" Xiao Jiuqin tried to ask again after finishing speaking, "He is the former magistrate of Xiaoyang Prefecture..."

"If this letter is genuine, then that's it." Bai Yan stood up, "Now go find Zeng Xuan."

Before Bai Yan was detained by Huai Chun, Xiao Jiuqin came back in a hurry, many things happened in the past few days, and Zeng Xuan was completely forgotten.

Xiao Jiuqin's people escorted Zeng Xuan back, but there is no news so far.

"Is there any news from the person you sent?" Bai Yan and Xiao Jiuqin returned to the Bai Mansion together, and called He Zhaoyuan over.

"You say that Song Que is..." He Zhaoyuan also looked devastated, "How is this possible?"

"How is it impossible?" Bai Yan thought of something again at this moment, "He is the magistrate of Xiaoyang Prefecture, this is an impossible thing, and don't forget, they have fire/powder in their hands."

"Then what happened to Zeng Xuan?" He Zhaoyuan was dumbfounded. Why have there been more and more ridiculous things recently? During this period of time, while he was going to inquire about Master Ba's extermination, he also had to keep an eye on Xue Zhengming's case. , so busy that everyone lost weight.

"It is impossible for Zeng Xuan to disappear for no reason, and we have sent people to investigate just now. He has not yet entered Yingdu, Grand Master Yun is also looking for him, and Xiaoyang Mansion is also looking for him, Song Que There are people watching around, and he also sent someone to look for Zeng Xuan."

"What about Song Que?" He Zhaoyuan's mind was still confused at the moment.

"Song Que will not be in trouble, someone is protecting his safety, and Grand Master Yun's purpose is unknown now, no one knows what he has planned, but once Zeng Xuan is caught by him, Song Que's side will probably be unstable. "

"Song Que and Zeng Xuan..." He Zhaoyuan felt something was wrong when he heard it.

"It's the relationship you want."

He Zhaoyuan slapped his head, "I see!"

A few people were sitting in the study, and the people who had reported the news had come several times. Xiao Jiuqin and his staff had all dispersed, and Bai Yan was also looking for someone to investigate. One of them checked outside the city, and the other went along the official road. check the place.

"Master Ba has people from Dali Temple. I think the Ministry of Justice and Grand Master Yun should not be able to intervene, so you take them back first. Xue Zhengming has Yan Ruli on his side. It is enough for him to stare. Now go to Xiaoyang Mansion, find a way to meet Song Que."

After Bai Yan said so much, He Zhaoyuan still didn't understand, "Why are you meeting him?"

"Tell him that Zeng Xuan is in our hands."
