Save the tragic villain in progress!

Since Nanny Ge returned to the palace that day, there has been no movement from Concubine Mei Gui.Only with Mei's heart in mind, she secretly sent someone to the General's Mansion to inquire about the news, and was relieved when she learned that Chu Xinian was still safe.

In fact, Chu Xinian is not only safe, he is like a fish in water in the general's mansion.Because Xie Jingyuan doesn't seem to take much care of things, as long as Chu Xinian doesn't make any big disturbances, no matter what strange actions he makes, there is a high probability that the other party will turn a blind eye——

Like... catching a box of ants?

Now that the weather has not yet warmed up, ants don't come out to move around much.It took a lot of effort for Chu Xinian to barely catch dozens of them.After all, he didn't know where to catch a guinea pig.

Xie Jingyuan was afraid of the cold and still stayed at home.He was lying on the bed reading military books, and when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chu Xinian sneaking around the window, not knowing what he was doing.

He didn't want to care about it at first, but his interest was aroused again, and he dropped the book slightly, observing without a trace.

Chu Xinian dipped a brush in honey, drew a line leading to the house at the position of the window frame, and placed five ants at the starting point.After the ant was dizzy for a while, it began to crawl slowly into the house along the traces of honey. When it was about to crawl into the house, it turned around and fled to other places one by one.

Small animals are naturally sensitive to touch, and they seem to know that the house is extremely dangerous.

Chu Xinian entered the room, and under Xie Jingyuan's watchful eye, he took out the aromatherapy ball hanging on the bed and put it into his sleeve, and asked the servants brought from Quyanghou's mansion to move out all the incense burner, incense, tripod and flower arrangements in the house. The room became empty in an instant.

Xie Jingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Chu Xinian, do you want to rebel?"

Standing by the window, Chu Xinian lowered his head and teased the ants in the box with his fingertips, lowered his eyes and said with a smile: "The sun is just right today, those things are all damp, and it's good to dry them in the sun."

Besides, it was Xie Jingyuan who wanted to rebel, not Chu Xinian.

Xie Jingyuan threw the book, and said with a "warm-hearted" sly smile: "What exactly do you want to do, tell me, this general can help you."

He put on the mask again during the day, and the other half of his face seemed to be hidden from view, tightly covered, not to be exposed to the scorching sun and people's hearts.

Chu Xinian didn't speak.He is a rigorous person, and he would not open his mouth casually until the guess in his heart was confirmed. He just said, "It's all about basking in the sun."

He was waiting for the smell to clear from the house.Standing by the window, the warm sun leans over.The whole person is carved out of jade, like a banished fairy, and I don't know why such a person is passed down as a fool.

Yunque stepped forward quietly, pretending to be waiting on the sidelines, and said to Chu Xinian in a low voice while serving tea: "Master, I have found out everything."

She washed the clothes for several days for Aunt Wang who was washing clothes in the backyard, and she was so happy that she couldn't see her teeth, she almost recognized her as a daughter.During the chat, I also found out a lot of secrets in the mansion.

Chu Xinian took the teacup she handed over, and glanced at Xie Jingyuan without any trace: "Say."

Yunque said in a low voice: "General Xie actually didn't live here before. He lived in Yuhen Pavilion in the South Courtyard. There is a study room in it, which is closely guarded. Jiuyong and another lieutenant general take turns to guard it. It was just that half a year ago, for some reason, it was suddenly moved. out."

Chu Xinian thought to himself that Xie Jingyuan was aware of the poisoning and changed his residence, but it was a pity that he was poisoned after moving around.He handed the teacup to Skylark, indicating that he already knew, and asked her to back down.

Not surprisingly, the list of military headquarters should be hidden in Yuhen Pavilion.

Remnants of traces, remnants of hatred...

Chu Xinian chewed these two words repeatedly, tasting a different meaning.Seeing that the smell in the room had almost dissipated, he put three more ants on it. This time they followed the trail of honey and crawled all the way into the room.

Xie Jingyuan appeared by the window at some point, with a black windbreaker draped over his shoulders, occasionally coughing.I thought Chu Xinian was playing with something nice, but it turned out to be ants.

"You really are still a child at heart." Xie Jingyuan's expression was half a smile, and his words seemed to be both positive and negative.

If you change this sentence, it has the same meaning as calling someone childish.

Seeing a few stupid ants running around carrying honey on the window frame, Chu Xinian inexplicably remembered what Yunque said just now that Xie Jingyuan had moved.He laughed lightly, then realized something was wrong, and restrained himself, but the smile was still deep in his eyes.

Xie Jingyuan's mouth froze: "What are you laughing at?"

He is a general, and he hates those civil servants whose minds are closer than a sieve, but Chu Xinian seems to be deeper than those civil servants, and some careless actions will arouse his vigilance.

Seeing that the ants had already crawled into the house, Chu Xinian smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just think the ants are very interesting, but they are a little stupid."

He can now confirm that the source of the poison is these scented objects, but he doesn't know which one it is.After all, only by finding out can we follow the clues and find the murderer.

Xie Jingyuan is not interested in ants.Seeing an ant crawling up to his shoe and slowly crushing it to death, he smiled sadly at Chu Xinian, "What's the point of playing like this? I saw a man in the past who was covered in cuts and bruises. Before, insects and ants devoured the body, which is much more interesting than this."

He's trying to be scary again.Chu Xinian nodded seriously, with a face of agreement: "It's really interesting."

He had never seen a scene where a large living person was gnawed into a skeleton by insects and ants. If he saw it some other day, he really wanted to study it.

Xie Jingyuan: "..."

Xie Jingyuan finally discovered that ordinary tricks cannot scare Chu Xinian.There was some imperceptible interest in his eyes, he turned and went back to the bed without saying a word, and continued to read his military book.

Chu Xinian continued to do his own experiments.He took out the aromatherapy ball from his sleeve, ordered someone to hang it in the house again, and then put in the ants, but saw that they were all crawling correctly.

Chu Xinian concocted it according to the law, took away the aromatherapy ball and replaced it with an incense burner, and all the ants crawled in.

In the end, only the flower arrangements in the vase remained.

But what could be wrong with flower arrangements in vases?

Chu Xinian did an experiment for the last time. He only put flower arrangements in the house, but the ants still crawled in.

[From the above experiments, it can be seen that when the three or both coexist, they are poisonous, and when they exist alone, they are non-toxic. 】

Is it a mixed drug?

Chu Xinian was a little surprised, he didn't expect such advanced poison to exist in ancient times.He wrote down his first research manuscript in this dynasty, and when he was about to conduct the second exclusion experiment, he saw a gatekeeper rushing into the house suddenly, knelt down on one knee and informed Xie Jingyuan: "General, The prince's visit—"

Chu Xinian's pupils shrank when he heard the words, Prince? !

Since ancient times, emperors have had many sons, and today's majesty is no exception, but there are only a handful of those who are capable of competing for the throne.The crown prince Yin Chenghao was born first to the empress, who was the heir apparent and then the eldest son. He should have been the most favorable contender for the throne.It's just that since the queen's death, he has become more and more reckless and chaotic, and his talent is mediocre, which does not suit the emperor's heart.

The rebellion failed in the later period, and Yin Chenghao was directly imprisoned in the East Palace. On the day the new emperor ascended the throne, he was given to hang himself and be buried with the ceremony of a prince.

Just before Chu Xinian and Xie Jingyuan got married, the crown prince was fined and confined for three months because of his bad business. Counting the days, it was almost time for him to be released.Unexpectedly, the other party came directly to the general's mansion.

What a bad time...

Xie Jingyuan obviously wanted to go with Chu Xinian, he frowned, dropped the book of war and stood up: "Take His Royal Highness to Yuhen Pavilion, I will go there later."

Seeing this, Chu Xinian put aside his experiment for the time being, and hid his schemes under a harmless smile: "The prince is here in person, and I will go with the general to meet His Royal Highness the crown prince."

When you visit the prosperous Tang Dynasty in person, how can you not see Taizong's heroic appearance and Li Bai's coquettishness; in the Great Qin Dynasty, how can you not see the first emperor's ambition and Zhao Gao's treachery.Although the Great Yan Dynasty is a fiction written by Chu Xinian, he is full of interest in every character.If possible, he would like to meet and study.

Xie Jingyuan paused when he heard the words, and stared at Chu Xinian with long and narrow eyes: "Why do you want to go?"

Chu Xinian took it for granted: "Naturally, it is a courtesy of a courtier."

The crown prince and the king of Jin are mortal enemies. Chu Xinian seems to have no idea how sensitive his identity is.

Xie Jingyuan remembered the prince's reckless temper, and frowned: "Why should I take you there?"

Chu Xinian can always find countless reasons that people can't refute. Dressed in white, he lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "Since the general has married me, you and I are naturally one. No matter what we do, we should be together."

Marrying a man as a wife is definitely Xie Jingyuan's humiliation in this life.When he heard that he should have been angry, he laughed instead, and suddenly grabbed Chu Xinian by the throat and pushed him against the wall. The cold mask scraped against his ears, making one feel like walking on the tip of a knife: "Show What do you mean, if I am smashed to pieces in the future, and I am doomed, should I drag you down with me? Hmm?"

Xie Jingyuan smiled lowly, sickly and sinister, the eyes under the mask became deeper and darker, like a ghost crawling out of hell, wanting to choose someone to devour.

"As it should be."

Chu Xi's young and fluttering words made Xie Jingyuan's smile froze.He took Xie Jingyuan's icy hand, and slowly pulled it from his neck, always so calmly: "If the general in the future wants to pull me together, he will accompany me in the new year."

Lying will not lose a piece of meat.It doesn't matter whether Chu Xinian's words are true or not, the important thing is...

"General, let's go, don't keep His Royal Highness waiting."

"..."

Hearing this, Xie Jingyuan stared at him, wondering what he was thinking, and after a while, he finally slowly withdrew his hand.He turned and walked out of the house, leaving a word: "Follow."

As soon as he left the house, the coldness outside hit his face, and the sun hanging in the sky could not relieve it a bit.Xie Jingyuan couldn't help coughing twice again, at this moment, a wind cloak suddenly appeared on his shoulders, and Chu Xinian's voice sounded in his ears: "After a few more months, the weather should be warmer."

With slender fingertips, he fastened the wind cloak in twos and threes, then withdrew his hands.

Xie Jingyuan raised his eyes to look at him, walked straight towards Yuhen Pavilion without saying anything.

The system dinged: [Please pay attention to the host, the villain's blackness has been reduced to 97%]

Yu Ba added: [The grades are a bit poor, the speed is a bit slow, dear, please continue to work hard]

Chu Xinian: "..."

To be honest, he still hasn't figured out what the degree of blackening is, and what is the reason for its decline.The only thing that was certain was that what the system said was like some kind of gas, smelly and useless.

Chu Xinian followed unhurriedly, walking while observing the route in the mansion without any trace.It turned out that there was a post at five steps and a sentry at ten steps, and the guards were tighter than iron barrels. No wonder Chu Jiaoping was helpless with the list of military headquarters.

Yuhen Pavilion was in Nanyuan, when Xie Jingyuan arrived, the crown prince was already waiting inside.He stepped up the steps, looked back at Chu Xinian, and said in a cool voice, "If you offend the prince, I won't beg for mercy."

His words revealed a lot of information, for example, the crown prince hated Wu and Wu, and he didn't have a good impression of Jin Wang's party, including Chu Xinian.

"Then I can only admit that I am unlucky." Chu Xinian didn't look panicked at all.

[Prince Yin Chenghao, descended from the Liu family of the former empress, the eldest son of Emperor Yan.Less reckless, impulsive, and older, increasingly stubborn, indiscriminate loyalty and foolishness, addicted to sensuality.

In the 28th year of Qisheng, the prince gathered his cronies, murdered his brothers, and raised troops to rebel, intending to rebel and usurp the throne, and was captured by King Jin in front of Tai'an Gate.Emperor Yan was furious, abolished his crown prince, and banned him in the East Palace.

In the winter of the 35th year of Qisheng, Emperor Yan passed away, and the new emperor came to the throne. He gave the deposed prince Cheng Hao to hang himself and be buried in the imperial mausoleum. 】

When Chu Xinian saw the man in the bright yellow python robe who was sitting or not sitting in the study room, he quietly thought of his ending in the original book.After reacting, he shook his sleeves and saluted along with Xie Jingyuan: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The crown prince, Yin Chenghao, was impulsive and irritable, with a reputation for being mediocre, he was a dude on par with Chu Xinian.

He came to see Xie Jingyuan today, one is to visit the sick, and the other is to discuss important matters.Seeing people coming, he subconsciously opened his mouth. Who would have thought that there would be a young man in white clothes with an extraordinary temperament behind him, so he couldn't help but pause.

Yin Chenghao had never met Chu Xinian before, so when he saw this, he got up subconsciously, thinking that Xie Jingyuan had brought an extraterrestrial expert with him, and the advisers and staff of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix wanted to introduce him to him.He barely stood up in human form, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and cast doubtful eyes on Xie Jingyuan: "This is...?"

Xie Jingyuan couldn't say it anyway.He sneered and thought, could it be that this is the person who is married to me?

Chu Xinian stared at the prince for a while, and found that the character of the other party was the same as in the book, and he did not collapse, so he was slightly relieved.He introduced himself generously: "The second son of Quyang Hou, Chu Xinian, has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Yin Chenghao's agitated mood just after hearing the words suddenly cooled down completely as if someone had poured a basin of water.It turned out that he was not an expert in the world, but a life and death enemy.As expected, his expression was not good, and he sat back again, and asked in a questioning tone: "Are you Chu Xinian?"

King Jin's side?

Chu Xinian straightened up: "Exactly."

Yin Chenghao thought to himself, isn't Chu Xinian a dude, why doesn't he look like that.His tone changed from suspicious to hostile: "Gu heard that you fled with a prostitute from a brothel on the day of your wedding and abandoned General Xie. Is this true?"

Is the prince trying to stand up for his subordinates?

Chu Xinian glanced at Xie Jingyuan.

Xie Jingyuan had already sat down, resting his head lazily, as if watching a good show.

Chu Xinian was calm and composed: "Of course not. The day of Xi Nian's wedding was robbed by gangsters, so he couldn't be there on purpose. It was really not intentional."

Yin Chenghao waved his hands in disdain: "It doesn't matter whether you want to or not, Gu will enter the palace in a while, and ask Father to withdraw this marriage, and you can go back to Quyang Houfu."

Xie Jingyuan paused upon hearing this.

Yin Chenghao knew that Concubine Mei Gui was uneasy and kind, so he rushed to blow the pillow wind when he was grounded to ask the Holy Majesty to give Xie Jingyuan a marriage, clearly intending to break his own arm.Nothing he said could make this marriage happen.

Chu Xinian thought that Yin Chenghao was really foolish and reckless, and he could say such words at will, if he didn't even think about it, he would say it casually.It was expected that he could not beat the King of Jin.

As for what the other party said just now, asking the emperor to withdraw this marriage is even more nonsense.

Because this marriage is not only mixed with Mei Guifei's calculations, but also the emperor's calculations.

Compared with the direction of the original book, the character of the prince does not seem to have collapsed.After Chu Xinian confirmed this point, his goal had been achieved, and he continued: "His Royal Highness is right, so Xi Nian will retire first."

Yin Chenghao was very satisfied with his wit, and finally a less annoying person came over to King Jin: "Go, go."

Chu Xinian withdrew from the door, turned around inadvertently, and saw Xie Jingyuan staring at him, without thinking much, he closed the door casually.

The courtyard is lush and lush, with patches of Bistem trees planted, black fruits falling all over the ground.Chu Xinian stepped down the steps, looked up at the sun and squinted his eyes, thinking to himself that Xie Jingyuan held the military power, why would he choose a fool to be the prince and be loyal?

Probably... In the past, when the entire family of the Xie family was punished, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty could not avoid it, and only the crown prince, Yin Chenghao, begged for mercy...
