comeback [rebirth]

Anyway, they don't live in the same house, and Cen Yuan doesn't reject it, but it's okay to scare him with the words of "adapting in advance" for a while, and it is absolutely impossible to convince him.

Who was it that told you not to hide anything from him yesterday?

Seeing that Yan Xuan didn't answer, he said again: "Using the father as an excuse, to put it bluntly, is deceiving the emperor, are you really not afraid that I will sue you?"

Yan Xuan calmly changed hands to pick up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and said, "This is indeed what His Majesty said."

Cen Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Yan Xuan lowered his eyes halfway, as if he was thinking about where to start. After a while, he seemed to decide to start from the beginning, and said unhurriedly: "Yesterday morning, apart from Xuanzhi and Liumu Town, we also confirmed the decision on Xu Peng's execution."

This was somewhat beyond Cen Yuan's expectation, he withdrew his hand and straightened his back: "Oh?"

Yan Xuan closed her eyes indifferently, and withdrew her hand, but subconsciously rubbed her fingertips.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the window, which could not be ignored.Cen Yuan was sitting by the window, so he got up and opened a gap to look out.

Looking at it, they saw the protagonist they were talking about.

"It's Xu Peng."

I saw a man in ragged clothes in the opposite alley, with disheveled hair and blood all over his body, he seemed unable to stand up, and could only get into the carriage with the help of a servant beside him.

——That was Xu Peng, who was imprisoned for Xia Miao's assassination earlier.

Cen Yuan murmured: "It's hard for him to survive until today..."

Yan Xuan also got up and went to the window, and took a look outside.

Cen Yuan asked: "He was released today, is it because of amnesty?"

Since the establishment of the imperial prison, there are only a handful of people who can come out alive. If it is not because of the imperial edict, I am afraid that Xu Peng will only become an insignificant soul in the imperial prison.

Yan Xuan let out a deep "hmm", then lowered her voice suddenly: "Actually, the possibility that you and I can think of, how can His Majesty fail to guess."

Hearing this, Cen Yuan looked away from the outside of Yujin Building, and thought: Who said otherwise.

But he thought for a moment, and said in a low voice, "But if we issue an amnesty to the world just for Xu Peng's matter, wouldn't it be too much of a fuss?"

Besides, Xu Peng is just a middle base of the Northern Army, how could He De let Emperor Ning set up special privileges for him?

The carriage downstairs gradually drifted away, Cen Yuan didn't continue to look, and went back to the table, taking the opportunity to touch the wine.

Yan Xuan closed the window, and on the way back took the wine jug from the other party's hand, Cen Yuan struggled to grab a few, but Yan Xuan precisely dodged it.

In the end, he still couldn't grab his own wine, so he could only drink tea and eat vegetables angrily.

Yan Xuan simply called for Xiaoer to have the wine removed, and ordered some tea and side dishes again.

When Xiao Er retreated, he said: "After the imperial court yesterday, His Majesty also asked me to go to Jingxing Palace to discuss some political affairs."

Cen Yuan didn't take it seriously: "Then?"

Not to mention that he was still angry about the pot of wine, he didn't want to deal with those political affairs, and he didn't bother to deal with them. Anyway, if there was something he needed to know, Yan Xuan would definitely pick it out and tell him.

But Yan Xuan opened his mouth, but said: "I asked His Majesty, if there is any other purpose in issuing an edict to amnesty the world."

"You asked?" Cen Yuan even stopped his chopsticks when he heard the words - he didn't expect that it was Yan Xuan who spoke first.

"En." Yan Xuan responded, looking at the other party without squinting: "Your Majesty said, because you are Jiang Zhaoyi's son."

It is not uncommon for the emperor to be partial, just like Cen Yuan has always been "self-aware" and knows the preferential treatment that Emperor Ning treats him.

But if these words were spoken to the courtiers, one would have to feel that Emperor Ning really had great trust in Yan Xuan.

"It seems that my little general really won the Sacred Heart." Cen Yuan teased, and then sighed after a while: "In the past few years, I have been doing nothing, and my father is still so partial to me, even because I specially amnesty the world. ... Tsk."

With no wine in hand, he could only take a sip of tea and said meaningfully: "It seems that I am the one who has won the Sacred Heart."

After the words fell, Cen Yuan shook his head, wanting to get rid of the topic that had strayed to nowhere, but Yan Xuan answered: "If Your Majesty is wholeheartedly partial, then I won't give you—"

Before he finished speaking, Cen Yuan picked up a chopstick of food with sharp eyesight and stuffed it straight into his mouth.

Yan Xuan swallowed the dish: "..."

Cen Yuan said calmly: "Give me what? Give me this marriage?"

Yan Xuan didn't make a sound, and Cen Yuan said again: "I said, little general, you are too courageous now. I'll let me say such a thing, but if you say it here, you won't be afraid that the emperor will come and chop it up later. Lost your head? You won’t be so extravagant if you get the Sacred Heart.”

He said this as if he already had a lot of experience, and then said, "I've never seen you so crazy before."

Yan Xuan chewed and swallowed the dish slowly, and then sighed silently after a while.

"As for moving to your residence, His Majesty did indeed propose it first," he said.

"That's why." Cen Yuan recalled what happened to Xia Miao before, and said casually, "I can't just send you as a bodyguard to protect me."

Yan Xuan said, "Exactly."

Cen Yuan paused for the hand that was stretched out to pick up the vegetables, then sneered and didn't speak.

Yan Xuan said: "I know that if I talk about protection with you, and it is under the watchful eyes of everyone, you will definitely be unhappy, so I will omit it."

"Tch." Cen Yuan muttered softly, "You know me."

……

In Jingxing Hall, Emperor Ning was exhausted because he had just come down to court.The maids took off his heavy outfit and put on light clothes for him.

After Eunuch Rong served hot tea, he told the maids to leave, and Xuan Yanxuan entered the palace.

Most of the political affairs were about the military camp and the deployment of troops in the north. Emperor Ning occasionally interjected a few words, but most of the time he closed his eyes and listened quietly.

He didn't open his eyes until the other party's report was over, and said, "Running at both ends of the barracks in Yanqing's Palace, the business is heavy, I'm afraid I don't have much free time, why don't we move to the second man's house today."

Yan Xuan raised his head to look at the other party, and heard Emperor Ning slowly say: "Since you are both men, there is no need to shy away from it. If you can spend more time together, you have the right to adapt in advance."

At the time of Yan Xuan's triumphant return, Emperor Ning proposed to betroth Princess Chengping to him, but he flatly refused.On the contrary, he also said something astonishing, imploring His Majesty to marry him and the second prince.

As shrewd as Emperor Ning, how could he not understand the thoughts behind his words.

Yan Xuan immediately kowtowed to thank him, but did not get up immediately after thanking him, and asked in a deep voice: "Your Majesty asked me to move to the second prince's mansion, is it just to reward me?"

Emperor Ning looked down at him, neither annoyed nor angry, and replied calmly: "Before the second brother was assassinated, and the Xia Miao incident a while ago, I am afraid that there will be people who will harm the second child. With you by his side, I will feel more at ease."

Yan Xuan didn't change his face, so that no one could tell what he was thinking now, he just said loudly: "Since your majesty is worried, why did you use the second prince to try?"

Emperor Ning narrowed his eyes slightly, and the temperature of the entire Jingxing Hall seemed to drop to an ice cave in an instant.

Yan Xuan's back was straight, and even though he was kneeling on the ground with his eyes downcast, people could still feel his arrogance.

Emperor Ning suddenly smiled.

"Why," he said slowly, "is this a shortcoming?"

Yan Xuan remained silent.

Emperor Ning got up from his seat, walked to Yan Xuan step by step, and looked down at one of his most trusted and favorite courtiers.

"Yan Qing," he said, "You have spoken disrespectfully and acted boldly over and over again, but I have never punished you, do you know why?"

"I don't know." Yan Xuan said.

Emperor Ning let out a sarcastic laugh from deep in his throat, and landed on the top of the other party's head, he said: "Because sometimes, I envy you and admire you very much."

Yan Xuan remained silent.

Emperor Ning said: "Sitting in this position, I am an emperor first, then I can be a husband and a father."

Yan Xuan's eyes just fell on Emperor Ning's clothes, the dragon embroidered with gold thread was lifelike, but on this golden cloth, it looked luxurious, but looking at it now, it was actually just a mayfly trapped in a corner.

He was silent for a while, and finally only replied: "I understand."

……

--emperor……

Yan Xuan moved his lips almost silently, looking at the tea in the cup, as if looking at something else, the floating water almost reflected the disdain and hatred for the word deep in his eyes.

Suddenly, he felt a weight on his shoulders.

The arm was pushed, and the image reflected in the tea noodles was instantly disintegrated. Yan Xuan looked sideways, and saw Cen Yuan's head tilted on his shoulder, with chopsticks in his hand, breathing slowly and slowly, just sleeping like this caught.

Yan Xuan: "..."

How sleepy is this?

Has Your Highness really had a good rest tonight?

Yan Xuan cursed inwardly, and the expression in his eyes suddenly changed into a barely noticeable smile.

He carefully took the chopsticks away from Cen Yuan's hand, adjusted his posture slightly so that the other party could lean more comfortably, and then did not move again.
