Chapter 803

In a trance, Xu Qi 'an seemed to return to the scene when he first met Lin' an. At that time, she was also like this, like a noble canary, beautiful and arrogant.

This was her usual attitude in front of outsiders. Later, she began to chatter, showing her simple and lively side. She was obviously weak, but she was like a belligerent little hen.

She was like a princess who took off her heavy armor and let you see the little girl inside.

Lin 'an was still Lin' an. It had never changed, but I was favored … Xu Qi 'an imitated Xu Erlang's voice, saluted, and said,

"I was entrusted by my brother to visit Your Highness."

Lin 'an maintained a cold and reserved posture, and her affectionate peach blossom eyes dimmed. Her voice unconsciously became weak, "He, won't he come by himself?"

Xu Qi 'an shook his head, "Your Highness, how dare my brother come to see you? As soon as he steps into the palace or the imperial city, Your Majesty can kill him."

Even if he doesn't come to see me, why doesn't he even reply … Lin 'an nodded gently and said softly, "How is your brother recently?"

When she said this sentence, her eyes were focused and her expression was serious. It was not a polite greeting, but she really cared about Xu Qi 'an's recent situation.

Lin 'an was an emotional girl. If you teased her, she would giggle. If you teased her, she would scratch you with her teeth and claws. She was not like Huaiqing, who had a high IQ and was cold.

If you teased her, you would only embarrass yourself.

Therefore, Xu Qi 'an couldn't help but want to bully her. He teased her, "Brother, you have been doing well recently. Besides practicing every day, you play everywhere. A while ago, you went to Jianzhou."

"That's good, that's good …"

Lin 'an nodded reservedly and pursed her lips like a reluctant little girl. She tentatively said, "Did, did he mention the recent court dispute these days? Well, did he worry about it? "

She also wanted to ask if he had asked Wei Yuan for help.

But considering that Xu Erlang was on duty in the Hanlin Academy, he might not know these things.

However, if Xu Qi 'an really kept her request in mind, he would definitely inquire about it and think of a plan. And Xu Erlang, who was an official in the court, would definitely be one of the people he inquired about.

Seeing her expectant look, Xu Qi 'an shook his head, "Brother is no longer a silver gong. He said he was too lazy to manage the court affairs. Why Your Highness suddenly asked? "

"I, I just asked casually."

Lin An forced a smile. She felt the man's perfunctory attitude, his alienation and indifference. She suddenly became very sad and depressed.

She remembered that Xu Qi 'an had said that he would be a slave for her for the rest of his life. Even though those words were said in jest, he had shown that he valued her. At that time, Lin' an did not think that he would underestimate the importance he placed on her.

It was a happy and blissful thing for a man you liked to put you in an important position in his heart.

But all of a sudden, you realized that the man's previous words and actions might have been perfunctory and deceitful. He didn't take you seriously at all.

Her nose turned sour and tears almost rolled down her cheeks. Lin An felt a stabbing pain in her heart. She forced herself to say, "I am tired. If there is nothing else, Your Excellency Xu …"

Before she finished speaking, the palace maid came in with small steps and said in a clear voice, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is here."

Lin 'an lowered her head in a panic and sorted out her emotions. When she looked up again, there was no sadness in her smile. She said hurriedly, "Please come in."

Why is the Crown Prince here? Don't drive me away when the time comes. It will be over. Bian Fan hates me so much … Xu Qi 'an wanted to curse.

The Crown Prince in brocade clothes strode in. The first person he noticed was not Lin 'an, but Xu Qi' an. It was just like the first person a beautiful woman noticed was always the same sex who was more beautiful than herself.

The Crown Prince also had this feeling now.

Although as the Crown Prince, he had a noble status, excellent bloodline, and excellent appearance. But compared with this Shu Jishi, he was a little ordinary.

Especially today, he was wearing a sky blue dress. His noble and arrogant spirit was not inferior to his, and his spirit was much better than his.

"Your excellency Xu is also here."

The Crown Prince smiled and turned his head to forget the little unhappiness. He was a little surprised because he did not remember that his sister and Xu Xinnian had any interaction.

Coincidentally, he was Xu Qi 'an's cousin. I will draw him to my camp first. When the time comes, will Xu Qi' an not buy my account?

The Crown Prince immediately took a seat and began to talk with Xu Xinnian eagerly.

After chatting, the Crown Prince inadvertently brought the topic to the affairs of the imperial court. He smiled and said,

"I made a mistake, I made a mistake. I thought that the Royal Faction would suffer a great loss this time. I did not expect that there would be a reversal. Yuan Xiong was demoted to the Right Inspector-Censor, and Qin Yuandao, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, was so angry that he fell ill in bed …"

He started the conversation and then looked at Xu Qi 'an, expecting him to continue the topic.

It was a common problem for young officials to like to comment on the affairs of the imperial court. Especially the new Jinshi who had just started his career.

Xu Qi 'an smiled calmly and said perfunctorily, "The struggle of the imperial court is treacherous. All kinds of reversals are possible."

Lin An listened with boredom. She just wanted to be alone now. But this was Shaoyin Palace. As the host, she had to accompany them. It was very rude to leave the "guest" behind.

"It seems that she is still wary …" The Crown Prince's eyes flashed. He did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"I heard that the reason why the Royal Faction could gather all the officials and smoothly pass the examination was all thanks to your excellency Xu."

The Crown Prince suddenly turned his head and stared straight at Xu Qi 'an.

"His Highness the Crown Prince is really the trump card …" Xu Qi 'an glanced at Lin An and replied calmly, "It's not my credit. It's my big brother's credit."

Sure enough, Lin An's breath quickened when she heard his words. "Your excellency Xu, what did you say? What do you mean by it's your big brother's credit? Xu, Xu Ningyan also participated in the struggle of the imperial court a while ago? "

The Crown Prince took over the topic and said,

"Lin An, you still don't know. It's said that Guogong Cao left some secret letters before his death, in which he wrote about his crimes of corruption and embezzlement of tributes over the years. He wrote clearly who conspired with him and who participated in it.

"I don't know where Xu Qi 'an got these criminal evidence. It's because of these criminal evidence that the Royal Faction could survive this crisis. What I said is confidential. Lin An, please don't tell anyone else. "

Lin An leaned forward slightly. She stared at Xu Qi 'an without blinking and said hurriedly,

"Dog … Why did Xu Ningyan help the Royal Faction?"

She could feel her heart pounding wildly, as if she was longing for something, but was afraid to see the result. She was nervous and expectant.

Ha, why is Lin An's heart beating so fast? If I say: Big Brother is doing it to form an alliance with Wang Shoufu, will she cry on the spot?

Xu Qi 'an smiled and said, "Big Brother said that because His Highness Lin An sent someone to pass the message, he will do his best to complete what His Highness Lin An wants to do, even if it's no longer a silver gong and his ability is limited."

For me, for me … Lin An muttered to herself.

She was like a passerby lost in the wilderness. When she saw the light, her heart suddenly calmed down, her eyes curved and the corners of her mouth lifted.

That kind of joy from the heart could not be hidden.

The Crown Prince glanced at his sister who was as beautiful as a flower. He did not change his expression and sent out an invitation, "I will hold a banquet outside the palace tomorrow. Can your excellency Xu do me the honor?"

Xu Qi 'an responded, "It would be impolite to refuse."

The Crown Prince smiled and saw that 'Xu Xinnian' did not have the intention to leave. He thought that it would not be too late to talk to Lin An tomorrow.

He immediately got up and said, "Today someone will send an invitation to the residence. BenGong is bored and came over to sit. There are still matters to deal with so I will leave first."

Lin An got up and sent the Crown Prince out of the hospital with Xu Qi 'an. Watching the Crown Prince's back as he left, she raised her chin and said with a smile,

"Your excellency Xu, is there anything else?"

Xu Qi 'an used his own voice and whispered like a mosquito, "Your Highness, this lowly officer missed you to death."

Lin An's delicate body suddenly stiffened. Her amorous peach blossom eyes flashed with surprise, astonishment and excitement. Her round and fair face flushed with an intoxicating blush.

Her thick eyelashes fluttered a few times. She suppressed her joy and excitement and forced herself to calm down, "Your excellency Xu, BenGong still have a lot of things to ask you. Come in and talk."

Returning to the reception hall, she calmly ordered, "All of you can leave."

The palace maids standing in the hall bowed and left the reception hall.

When they left, Lin An 'an immediately changed her face. She put her hands on her waist, glared, puffed her cheeks and said angrily, "Dog slave, why didn't you reply? Why didn't you come to see BenGong? "

"Is Your Highness so worried about me that you can't eat or sleep at night?" Xu Qi 'an no longer pretended and said with a smile.

"You, don't talk nonsense. BenGong is the one who misses you."

Lin An hurriedly denied. She was an unmarried princess, a pure and clean Lin An. She certainly could not admit such a shameful thing as missing a man.

Xu Qi 'an stared at her and said softly, "But I miss Your Highness so much that you can't eat or sleep at night. I wish I could grow wings and fly into the palace.

"Even if His Majesty draws his bow and shoots me down, as long as I can see Your Highness, I can die without regrets."

Lin An's pretty face suddenly turned red. She stuttered, "You, you, you … You can't talk to BenGong like that."

She suddenly felt flustered. She had never experienced such a bold and explicit expression before. She felt that she was a guinea pig that had been forced into a corner.

"Your Highness, come, let me tell you about the interesting things in Jianzhou these days."

Xu Qi 'an grabbed her little hand and pulled her to sit down at the table.

Lin An resisted a little, then she let him hold her hand. She slightly lowered her head and had a secretly happy posture.

Time ticked by, and soon it was time for lunch.

Lin An didn't stop until the palace maids stood in the courtyard and called her. She really needed company.

"I can't keep you for lunch in Shaoyin Palace. Tomorrow I will move to Lin An's mansion. Dog slave, can you, can you come again?" Her soft and charming eyes were filled with expectation and a trace of pleading.

"I will." Xu Qi 'an squeezed her soft little hand.

Lin An immediately smiled. She had a charming charm that could move one's soul. She was an introverted lady.

"Wait a moment, I have something for you."

She lifted her skirt and left the guest hall. After a long time, she had the palace maids come back with plates of gold, silver, and jade.

"You can leave first."

After dismissing the palace maids, she chattered, "Now that you don't have an official position, I don't know if you have other ways to make a living. It's always good to have more gold and silver. There are many valuable things in Shaoyin Palace that I don't need.

"Huaiqing said that you might leave the capital in the future. I, I don't know if I can see you again …"

She didn't continue and looked at him. In fact, she wanted to see his appearance again, but he was disguised as her cousin.

This was Shaoyin Palace, the imperial palace. She couldn't force him to remove his disguise.

Lin An could only keep her expectations in her heart.

"Right, this novel is quite interesting. You, you should take it back and read it." After hesitating for a while, she gathered her courage and took out the novel hidden in her sleeve.

Xu Qi 'an packed up his things and stored the fragments of the Earth Book. He walked to the door and hesitated for a moment before wiping his face.

"Your Highness!"

He turned around with a smile.

His sky blue brocade robe was embroidered with light blue cloud patterns. His hair was tied with a hollow golden crown and he wore cloud-covered boots.

Lin An was a bit dazed.

… …

The next day, Xu Qi 'an and Xu Xinnian rode the carriage of Miss Wang and entered the imperial city. The coachman drove them to the Wang Residence.

Xu Qi 'an sat on a soft woolen couch and flipped through the novel in his hand.

"Love Saint, what kind of messy book is this? Why is Big Brother reading these kind of books?" Xu Xinnian asked curiously.

Big Brother was a crude martial artist, and he never read books.

"The book is about a small figure of the demon race who fell in love with a princess of the Heavenly Realm. Because this was a forbidden love, the small figure of the demon race was banished to the mortal world and had to work hard. Later, the small figure of the demon race killed his way to the Heavenly Court and took the princess back to the mortal world. The two lived a simple life together. "

Xu Qi 'an's smile was a bit complicated.

This was what he asked his tool, Zhong Li, to write for Lin An. Now, Lin An gave the novel to him. It was self-evident what he was hinting at.

As they talked, the carriage stopped outside the Wang Residence.

The steward of the Wang Residence was already waiting at the gate. When the carriage stopped, he immediately led the two into the residence.

Xu Xinnian stayed in the guest hall, accompanied by Simu Wang. Xu Qi 'an was keenly aware that Miss Wang was looking at him with a bit of complaint.

Are you blaming me for beating up your sweetheart? Bah, I beat up my own little brother, what does it have to do with you … He cursed in his heart. He followed the steward all the way to Wang Shoufu's study.

In the luxurious and spacious study, the white-haired Wang Shoufu, dressed in dark casual clothes, sat behind the table, holding a scroll in his hand.

"Sir Grand Secretary." Xu Qi 'an bowed.

"Your excellency Xu, please take a seat."

Wang Shoufu put down the scroll and looked at him with his slightly weathered eyes. With a smile, he said, "Your excellency Xu is a martial artist. This old man will not keep you in suspense."

No, this sentence of yours is obviously full of contempt for the Warrior … Xu Qi 'an said in his heart. He came to the Wang Residence today to ask for a "reward" from Wang Shoufu.

"If there is anything I can help you with, Your excellency Xu, please don't hesitate to ask."

Xu Qi 'an thought for a moment and said, "Two things. First, I want to go to the Desk Warehouse of the Ministry of Personnel to look up the files. Second, there is an old case that I want to ask Wang Shoufu. "
