The loyal minister was forced to marry the traitor

Grand Master Yun claimed to be ill for a long time, and Huai Chun used the name of the emperor to send the imperial doctor to see him several times.

When Bai Yan knew about this, he was only slightly taken aback.Later, within two days, they received an invitation from the Grand Master's Mansion, saying that a concubine of Yun Zhong had given birth to a son. This news caused everyone to have different thoughts.

Bai Yan looked at the invitation, Zeng Xuan didn't expect that there was a second invitation, but it was for him.

Seeing that Bai Yan's expression was not very good, Zeng Xuan comforted him, "I guess I just want to make an excuse to force you to hand me over. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, I guess he can't do something like kidnapping."

"It's not that I'm worried that I won't be able to protect you." Bai Yan was still there, rubbing the gold-painted words on it with his fingertips, "It's just that Master Yun is always strong and strong, and the dragon is strong and the tiger is fierce..."

"Pfft..." Zeng Xuangang spurted out a sip of tea, and he coughed continuously, "You..."

Unexpectedly, Mr. Bo is such a... person!

"Speaking of which, he has a clear purpose," Bai Yan asked people to carefully protect Zeng Xuan these days, and the Bai Mansion was heavily guarded, Grand Master Yun sent people to inquire about the news several times, but it was impossible.

Hidden robbery is out of the question, so he intends to do it in the open.

Zeng Xuan said that it was impossible not to panic at all, but Bai Yan glanced at him, "If I can't protect you, there is another person who can protect you."

"Who?"

"Song Que."

As soon as these two words came out, Bai Yan looked at Zeng Xuan's face and his face changed suddenly.

He continued, "I just received the news. Song Que entered Yingdu last night, and he was protected by the emperor's people. The news was sent by Xiao Jiuqin just now."

"Did the emperor know his identity?" Zeng Xuan clenched his fists under his sleeves.

"I knew it a long time ago, didn't I?" Bai Yan casually threw the invitation on the table, "Why do you think Song Que is an exception to be appointed as the magistrate of Xiaoyang Prefecture? There is a gap, do you think Song Que is qualified to be the magistrate?"

In fact, Zeng Xuan only had a half-knowledge of many inside facts. Back then, he was downcast and had a bad fate. He was confined by Song Que for nearly half a year.

Song Que suddenly became the magistrate of Xiaoyang Prefecture, and he was also designated as a petty official not long after. As for the promotion after that, he only thought it was because of his desperate struggle.

But think about it now, how much Song Que contributed to it.

"Don't think too much, no one can erase your ability." Bai Yan patted him on the shoulder, "But now, I am worried about your safety."

"The emperor wants to kill me?" Zeng Xuan understood immediately after thinking about it.

"I'm afraid he wasn't the only one who killed you," Bai Yan's eyes darkened, "Once Song Que is ennobled, he will be a big enemy to Wei Chengdan, and Grand Master Yun and Huai Chun will both regard him as a thorn in his side. You, according to your importance to Song Que, they will definitely not let you go."

In fact, the facts are already in front of our eyes, Wei Chengdan is not loved by the emperor, Wei Chengfeng has also been deposed, Song Que who suddenly appeared is the object of everyone's sway.

If the emperor's attitude is more inclined to Song Que, then he is the target of public criticism.

"Song Que...is he alright now?" Zeng Xuan knew that the emperor was here, and Song Que was fine for the time being, but when he thought of Huai Chun, who was so powerful, he became very flustered.

"He is already in the emperor's bedroom. According to the news from Xiao Jiuqin, although Huaichun's people have inquired many times, but for now, they can't even meet Song Que. After all, the emperor is not confused. Protect Song Que, so don't worry for now, before his identity is fully revealed to the world, no one can touch him."

"Then if... his identity is announced to the world..." Zeng Xuan clenched his fingers.

"Then if he wants to survive and protect you, he has to fight with his life." Bai Yan looked in the direction of the palace, "They are all the emperor's sons, and Wei Chengdan has no intention of taking the throne. It's a different scene."

Zeng Xuan was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked him, "I heard that you and Huai Chun are close friends, he tried his best to support Wei Chengdan's succession, but you turned to Song Yan..."

"Are you worried that Huai Chun and I will have a secret affair?" Bai Yan's mouth curled into a smile, "Master Zeng, are you?"

Zeng Xuanlue was a little embarrassed, he only seemed to be worried that the friends of Bai Yan and Huai Chun would turn against each other, but in fact he was worried that the two of them would collude and help Wei Chengtan deal with Song Yan.

His suspicion was broken by Bai Yan, Zeng Xuan couldn't help feeling embarrassed, but Bai Yan was extremely calm, "It's normal for you to doubt, after all, it's about the lives of countless people, but I have to say, in this struggle between Song Que and Wei Chengtan, I will not mix with Xiao Jiuqin."

As soon as he said this, Zeng Xuan didn't know for a moment whether he was more fortunate or more worried.

If Bai Yan and Xiao Jiuqin were enemies, it would be a serious problem, but if they were friends, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.

Zeng Xuan's heart was complicated and unspeakable, but Bai Yan poured him a cup of tea, "The crown prince dispute has always been the center of the whirlpool. Xiao Jiuqin and I don't ask much. Look at Beidi and Nanyi beyond the Great Wall."

Zeng Xuan stayed in Bai Mansion in the end, and after Bai Yan put on his official uniform, Xiao Jiuqin came.

Luoyun left, and put his hands on Bai Yan's shoulders. When he turned his head, he frowned slightly, "Master Xiaohou is very busy these days, why come to my house when you have time?"

His mouth was sour, and he never admitted that he missed Xiao Jiuqin. This guy disappeared for many days, and every time he spread news, he sent his subordinates.

Bai Yan was full of anger but had nowhere to vent it. He took the comb from Xiao Jiuqin's hand and combed his hair with difficulty.

He pulled out a few strands of hair without paying attention, Xiao Jiuqin couldn't bear it, he hurriedly held down his hand, and pulled away the comb, "You don't have to torment yourself, and your hair doesn't bother you, why bother to make yourself hurt."

Bai Yan glared at him, "Give me the grate."

Xiao Jiuqin hugged people, it was not common for Bai Yan to lose his temper like this, although he thought it was new, but he still didn't want to make people get angry, in the end it was himself who felt sorry for him.

So he apologized bluntly, "I'm the one who annoyed you, so why don't you torment me? Mr. Bo has a lot of people, so let's let your black hair go first?"

"Huh!" Bai Yan pulled his face, but the fire in his eyes disappeared. Xiao Jiuqin was slightly relieved, fastened the man's girdle, combed his hair carefully, and then hugged him and walked out.

"What are you doing?" Bai Yan struggled slightly.

Xiao Jiuqin leaned closer and kissed him, and smiled flatteringly, "To save you a little time, let you read something."

"What can't be brought here, and I have to see it in person?" Bai Yan looked suspicious, "Don't be some rare beast, you should be careful if you catch any auspicious beast, when the time comes, all the ministers inside and outside will be shocked." I will write a letter to impeach you."

"Just guess where you are and you'll know."

Bai Yan glanced at Xiao Jiuqin's mysterious carriage, and finally got into the carriage of the Houfu.

Along the way, the two of them talked a lot about Grand Master Yun's invitation. Not long after they arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, Xiao Jiuqin got out of the car first and took Bai Yan's hand down.

There were still the usual two people at the gate of the Hou Mansion.

Bai Yan looked around suspiciously, "What's here?"

"You'll know when you go in." Xiao Jiuqin led him in, and Bai Yan was taken aback as soon as he stepped into the door of the Hou Mansion.

Eye-catching red silk is everywhere in the mansion, festive lanterns are hung all over the long corridor, and red felt is under his feet... He felt a little dazed when he stepped on it.

It turned out that it was time for the two of them to get married soon.

Xiao Jiuqin led him and continued to walk in, "I haven't even touched the furnishings of the main courtyard. The courtyard where you and I lived has been decorated extensively. If you think it's inappropriate, I'll ask someone to change it..."

"No need." Bai Yan shook his head, "This is enough."

At first, he thought that he might never be able to be with Xiao Jiuqin in his whole life, but he never thought that God would show mercy and give the two of them a chance.

The thing that he dared not expect came true, and he thought again, the time to get married is approaching day by day, and according to the shape of others, it is too late for them to get married like that.

Although regretful, Bai Yan still felt satisfied.

As long as they can be together with Xiao Jiuqin Guangming, everything else is fine.

But... He really didn't expect that Xiao Jiuqin would be able to find time to deal with these things in this crisis-ridden and complicated time.

"Sorry, I..." Bai Yan's voice became hoarse.

Xiao Jiuqin's heart skipped a beat, "Ancestor, don't scare me, you... don't mean to regret your marriage!"

Lord Xiaohou couldn't help thinking wildly, and felt that he was about to be abandoned all the time.

He was rather sad and frowned, "It's too late to regret it now, I have sent the marriage certificate to your house, and I have also sent out the invitation card, and I will come to marry you as soon as the auspicious day arrives."

"I haven't received the marriage letter..." Bai Yan's eyes moved, but Xiao Jiuqin suddenly raised his voice, "Uncle Xiao picked it up, he will witness the marriage for you and me, no one else can stop it, even your back lake is useless .”

Lord Xiao Hou acted like a bandit leader, Bai Yan finally couldn't help it, walked over and put his head on Xiao Jiuqin's neck, and said softly, "What are you thinking, how could I regret it..."

He thought to himself, this is a day that I can't even ask for, and I feel uneasy, but there are joys, expectations, and emotions that cannot be expressed in words.

Only then did Xiao Jiuqin let go, and he continued to walk inside with Bai Yan. Along the way, there were red candles with golden patterns, forming a long winding red road...

"This is what Beijiang says. On the night you and I get married, I will personally light the red candles on this road, implying that you and I will stay together forever and our love will last forever."

Bai Yan's heart became softer.

He never thought that Xiao Jiuqin would spend his mind on these "trivial things" that he was least willing to spend on before, but now it made him both sweet and moved.

People are like this, although they say it doesn't matter, but when there is really such a person who is willing to spend their time for you, they can't help but feel warm in their hearts.

He lowered his head and whispered, "Thank you..."

Xiao Jiuqin's eyes were slightly hot, "Now these are not enough..." He looked at Bai Yan's side face firmly, "In my heart, you deserve the best things in this world, but unfortunately I can't arrange everything now appropriate."

"It's enough..." Bai Yan raised his eyes, "It's really enough, I'm very happy now... Really."

The eyes of the two met, and what flowed was tenderness.

After walking through a courtyard, Bai Yan realized that Xiao Jiuqin's thoughts were not limited to what he saw in front of him.

Regardless of whether it was the bedroom or the study room, Xiao Jiuqin had someone repair the earth dragon, and he also built a large hot spring pool for him. I don't know how much effort he spent, but he even attracted a pool of hot spring water, which was filled with mist. Bai Yan's eye sockets are slightly panting...
