Chapter 768

Xu Qi 'an didn't stay too long in the Second Princess's Mansion. He had to patrol the streets in the afternoon, so he left.

Bian Fan was reluctant to leave. She frowned and said, "Xu Ningyan, I can tell my father to let you enter the palace and be my guard."

What's the future of being your guard? Do you really want me to work like a cow or a horse … Xu Qi 'an said helplessly, "Your Highness, I still have some expectations."

Obviously, working like a cow or a horse for the princess was not as promising as working for Wei Yuan. The Yuanjing Emperor doted on Bian Fan, not only because she could act coquettishly, but also because she was naive, lovely, and innocent.

For someone like Princess Huaiqing, if she wanted to support her confidant to take the throne, she had to find an opportunity, such as the Sampo Case. The other princes were the same.

Bian Fan begged the Yuanjing Emperor to spare him from the death penalty. Xu Qi 'an saw through the Yuanjing Emperor.

"Second Princess, why bother? I'm just a night watchman." Xu Qi 'an said in his heart, "We're not suitable for each other."

"No one else is as interesting as you. They talk to me with fear." Lin An pouted and shook her feet.

"I don't like to study. I'm not good at zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. I'm bored to death in the palace. When I was a child, Brother Crown Prince would play with me. Now, every time I go to him, he frowns and always says that he has business to attend to. "

What a poor princess. She was raised in a gorgeous cage like a canary … But Princess Huaiqing could come and go freely … Xu Qi 'an thought for a while and figured it out.

Huaiqing was the kind of strong woman who could conquer the world by herself if she was given 3,000 troops. She was knowledgeable and capable. Among the children of the Yuanjing Emperor, there was almost no one who could compete with Huaiqing in terms of talent and skill.

Lin An was different. She was an unruly and willful little princess. She was not scheming and was easily deceived by ambitious people.

Xu Qi 'an automatically removed himself from the list of "ambitious people".

"This is actually simple. The Princess can just move back to her own residence. The Imperial City is more interesting than the Palace. "Xu Qi 'an said.

Lin An was a princess with a title and had her own residence in the Imperial City.

Lin An was a princess with a title and had her own residence in the Imperial City.

During the meal, the Crown Prince ate the delicacies that Imperial Consort Chen carefully prepared and suddenly said, "Wei Yuan gave the Empress a secret recipe to cure her anorexia."

At mealtime, the Crown Prince was eating the delicacies that Imperial Consort Chen had meticulously prepared. He suddenly said, "I heard from the servants in the palace that Wei Yuan gave the Empress a secret recipe that cured her anorexia."

Imperial consort Chen, "There, it Wei is Wei Wei Wei Long time." I heard that if you add a little when cooking, the flavor will be unforgettable. "

The Crown Prince saw the desire in Imperial Consort Chen's eyes. "If Imperial Mother wants to try it, this child will ask the Empress for some."

Imperial Consort Chen smiled, "I heard that Princess Huai Qing went to ask for it, but the Empress refused."

"Lin An".

Princess Lin An looked at her Mother and Older Brother and sought confirmation, "Is it called Chicken Spirit?"

The Crown Prince looked at her. "You've heard about it too?"

The simple-minded Lin An didn't have the time to pay attention to the news in the back palace. He shook his head and said, "Today, Xu Ningyan gave me something. It's called Chicken Essence."

She summoned a maid and said, "Go back to the palace and get it for me."

After a quarter of an hour, the maidservant returned while panting. She brought back the porcelain bottle that was left in the residence.

The Crown Prince rushed to take the porcelain bottle, opened the cork, and sniffed it. He smelled a slightly pungent freshness. Just by smelling it, he couldn't understand the magic of this thing.

"Let the kitchen reheat these dishes and add this … chicken essence. Shall we try it?"

The Crown Prince's suggestion was approved by his mother and sister.

Not long after, the palace maid came back with the heated dishes. The mother and son didn't eat, but looked at the palace maid.

The palace maid first used a silver needle to test for poison, then brought the bowls and chopsticks and tried them one by one. After eating all the dishes, the Crown Prince saw that her eyes were obviously unsatisfied, but she did not dare to eat more and stared at the dishes reluctantly.

After waiting for a moment, seeing that the palace maid was fine, the Crown Prince urged, "Give BenGong a bowl of turtle soup."

The palace maid scooped the soup and said with a smile, "Your Highness has good eyesight. The taste of this soup is unforgettable."

The Crown Prince could not wait to take it and tasted it before praising, "There is a different taste … Mother, Lin An, try it. Quickly try it."

Imperial Consort Chen had not seen the Crown Prince this happy for a long time and was happy in her heart.

Lin An had long helped herself. She did not eat the turtle soup but picked up a mouthful of vegetables. As she chewed, she unconsciously took a second mouthful, a third mouthful …

After finishing the noon meal, Imperial Consort Chen, who had not seen her children eat happily for a long time, was very happy.

"Good stuff, just this small bottle … How much effort did the chef in the Imperial Kitchen have to spend to make it?" The Crown Prince sighed and quietly put the bottle into his sleeve.

Lian Fan's eyes widened, she rushed over and tightly grabbed the Crown Prince's sleeve. She frowned, "It's mine!"

"Isn't that Xu Qi'an your man? You can ask him for it again." The Crown Prince said righteously, "Let go."

"I won't let go, it's mine."

The brother and sister could not stop arguing, so they looked for Imperial Consort Chen to judge. Imperial Consort Chen was angry and funny at the same time, "How old are you, but you are still like a child. If you want Mother to say it, then leave it here. It's only fair. "

"…" The Crown Prince and Lin An turned their heads and continued to argue.

…

"It turns out that the thing that Xu Ningyan gave me is so valuable." Lian Fan sat in the sedan chair and played with the porcelain bottle that only had one-third of the chicken essence left.

The little bit of dissatisfaction she had towards Xu Qi 'an gradually disappeared. She was not stupid. Xu Qi' an had taken advantage of her and she had turned a blind eye to it.

Because if she did not win him over, this gong would turn around and throw itself into the arms of Huaiqing. Moreover, he was pleasant to hear and playful, so Lin An was quite reluctant to give him up. It was just some useless calligraphy, paintings, and silver. So be it.

This little gong was very slippery. I have to confirm it … Lin An immediately said, "Go to Huaiqing's place."

Arriving at Princess Huaiqing's palace garden, Lin An ignored the guards who stopped her. She raised her snow-white chin and saw the annoying Huaiqing in the front hall.

The two outstanding princesses shone on each other. On Huaiqing's white pretty face, her delicate eyebrows wrinkled, "What are you doing here?"

"I heard that Wei Yuan gave mother a secret formula to cure mother's anorexia. It came from the palace." Lin An walked to the antique shelf, her red skirt trailing, playing with the blue vase and said casually,

"Sister Huaiqing, do you have it here?"

"No." Huaiqing said lightly.

"Really?" Lin An suddenly turned her head, her eyes were bright, and her charming oval face was written with the words "eager to make trouble".

Princess Huaiqing stared at her and said lightly, "Why would I lie to you?"

"I am relieved that you don't have it," Lin An, no, Lian Fan took out the porcelain bottle, shook it happily, and laughed loudly, "I have it!"

"…"

Seeing that Huaiqing's face was not right, she was even happier, but in order to avoid being beaten, she stopped while she was ahead. She twisted her waist and left after showing off,

"I am leaving, I won't send you off. Oh, by the way, this is a gift from Xu Ningyan. "

Xu Ningyan … On Princess Huaiqing's smooth forehead, blue veins bulged.

…

The next day, after having lunch in the brothel, the three people in the brothel picked their teeth and returned to the yamen.

There was an hour of rest time at noon, and the three planned to go back to the yamen to breathe. Today, Xu Qi 'an treated them, but this time they just listened to music and ate, nothing else. Martial artists didn't have so much surplus food.

Song Tingfeng felt a little embarrassed after spending a few days with Xu Ningyan. Seeing a roadside stall selling oranges, he said,

"You two wait here, I am going to buy some oranges."

"Get lost, I am going to buy oranges, you wait here." Xu Qi 'an pulled him.

"Ning Yan, you are too polite, too polite." Song Tingfeng insisted on buying.

"Anything else is fine, but I must buy the oranges. If you insist, you will pay the Musical House next time." Xu Qi 'an said angrily.

Song Tingfeng really gave up.

Back to the yamen, Xu Qi 'an received a summons from Wei Yuan again.

"Father Wei loves me more and more …" He happily ran to the Great Spirit Building. After being reported by the guard, he saw Wei Yuan in a blue robe in the tea room.

This handsome and elegant eunuch with white temples was holding a teacup and drinking. He pointed to the opposite seat and said, "Pour your own tea."

Xu Qi 'an, who was full of wine, didn't want to drink tea, so he still poured a cup to accompany Wei Yuan.

"You can't drink when you are on duty," Wei Yuan reprimanded, "You are full of bad habits except for some justice. You are glib, undisciplined, and frequently go in and out of the Musical House. If I were your political enemy, you would have been reincarnated. "

"… I know I am wrong." Xu Qi 'an thought that he was a younger brother, no, a son, so his mentality was much better.

"Well, a leopard can't change its spots. If a person could be changed so easily, there wouldn't be thousands of people in the world. "Wei Yuan had always been a leader with a high tolerance rate for his subordinates, so he didn't really want to punish him.

He took a big sip of tea and pushed a file to Li Mu. "You have to go to Yunzhou."

Yunzhou? Xu Qi 'an became serious and opened the file to read.

"A few days ago, the spy of the night watchman sent a secret letter, which said that Yang Chuannan, the commander of Yunzhou, secretly colluded with mountain bandits to transport military supplies for benefits and to support the bandits." Wei Yuan took another sip of tea and said,

"The second day after receiving the secret letter, the Qi party quickly made a 'corruption case' and forced me to compromise with a group of silver gongs in Jinluo."

"The commander of Yunzhou is a member of the Qi party? No wonder the Qi party decided to make the night watchman. It turned out that there was such an inside story behind it.

If it wasn't for my luck, Wei Yuan was going to use a group of silver gongs in Jinluo to replace the commander of Yunzhou? "Wei Yuan is quite ruthless … Yes, Number Two said that the reason why the bandits in Yunzhou are eliminated is that the mountain bandits occupy the terrain, and each of them has military supplies. They are not ordinary mountain bandits, so they have support behind them.

The Qi party is in the capital, so they can't control it from afar. They need the cooperation of a local senior official … "Xu Qi 'an suddenly understood.

Wei Yuan continued, "After the secret letter was sent back to the capital, the spy died for no reason. He died without a sound. His real identity is an officer in the Records Department of the Imperial Command.

"He is dead, and the evidence is missing. I have reported this matter to His Majesty, and His Majesty will send the inspector of the Imperial Censorate to Yunzhou to investigate this matter.

"What you need to do is to protect the inspector and find the evidence."

Xu Qi 'an was troubled, "Why do you want me to go to Yunzhou?"

"I'm not too willing …" Wei Yuan said, "Jiang Lvzhong will be in charge of this matter. You will go with him to gain experience."

Xu Qi 'an was instantly relieved and said, "There is one more thing … Duke Wei, don't eat too much chicken essence. You will get thirsty easily. Ask the cook to put less when cooking."

Wei Yuan had just reprimanded him, but not only did he not bear a grudge, but he also reminded him out of kindness. Xu Qi 'an felt that he was too kind.

Wei Yuan did not say anything, but pointed at the door.

"I will take my leave." Xu Qi 'an immediately slipped away.
