The young man suddenly woke up, and Li Yancheng couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong?"
Yan Xi came back to his senses and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little sleepy and want to go back to my room to sleep for a while."
"Okay, go to sleep. I'll take care of you if anything happens." Li Yancheng sent him back to his room, and after making sure he was lying down well, he left the room.
After he walked away, Yan Xi got up, put on his clothes, pressed the secret compartment at the head of the bed, and a secret door immediately appeared behind the bed. He walked in quietly, and when he came out again, he saw a bustling street.
He braved the light snow and came to a busy restaurant, showed the jade pendant he was wearing, and entered the backyard.
Little did he know that there was a little tail following him.
And this little tail is exactly Li Yancheng who has returned.
He quietly followed Yan Xi to the backyard, hid behind the rockery with bated breath, and through the gap saw him and a man in white sitting in the yard talking.
"Haven't you found the person I asked you to find yet?" Yan Xi looked at the other person and asked softly.
The man lowered his head, "My subordinates are incompetent, and there is no movement."
"Never mind. He knows how to disguise himself and doesn't use his real name, so it's understandable that we can't find him." Yan Xi was a little discouraged and said slowly, "Send someone to Yinzhou to check. I suspect he's in Yinzhou, and most likely in the military camp. Have your men focus on investigating those who have made military achievements recently. If that doesn't work, have someone spread the news that I'm dying. Maybe he'll hear about it and show up."
The man in white nodded, "Okay, I'll have someone do it as soon as possible."
"If you have any news, remember to come to me first." Yan Xi said, paused, and specifically reminded, "Don't tell Miss Hong Leng."
The man was slightly stunned and said nothing.
Li Yancheng, who was hiding behind the rockery, listened to the conversation between the two with a heavy gaze. His beautiful eyes were as cold as ice that had been deposited for thousands of years, piercingly cold.
So many years have passed, but he still hasn't given up looking for Lou Jinchuan.
I originally thought that as time went by, that person would fade from his heart, and I could use this time to gradually live in his heart.
So in the past six years, no matter how many times he lost his temper and wanted to tie this person tightly to his side, he forced himself to hold back.
Because he knew that Yan Xi wanted to be a good official and serve the country and the people, not be his canary.
He could only endure and get closer to him little by little.
But what was the result? What did he get?
Li Yancheng raised his head in a self-deprecating arc, and a cold and strange light flashed in his eyes.
He got nothing.
She had never even kissed him for a moment in these six years.
Thinking back to a year ago, when Yan Xi was seriously injured and in a coma for three months, he took care of her day and night, and the name he heard most from him was Lou Jinchuan's nickname.
Ridiculous, so ridiculous.
Even now, he is still thinking about Lou Jinchuan, and there is no place for himself in his heart!
Li Yancheng stared coldly at the young man not far away, his eyes deep.
The behavior of being too gentlemanly will never win your heart.
He Yanxi, I won't give in this time.
Yan Xi was talking to the subordinates in front of him, but for some reason, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, and a strong sense of crisis inexplicably arose.
He frowned and looked around, but found nothing. He said a few words a little anxiously and hurried back.
Yan Xi had just returned to the room and had not yet taken off her clothes that were wet from the snow when Li Yancheng pushed the door open with an expressionless face.
Yan Xi, whose clothes were half-undressed, was stunned. With a slightly flustered look on his face, he hung his coat on the hanger and pretended to take another piece of clothing. "Your Highness, why did you come back so suddenly?"
Li Yancheng glanced at the dress lightly, lowered his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips. "Oh, I just wanted to come and see if you were asleep, and by the way, change the charcoal fire in the room for you."
Yan Xi met those eyes that didn't smile at all, and felt uneasy. "No, I found that I couldn't sleep again, so I thought of going back to the study to continue correcting documents."
The man in front of him lied without blushing or panicking. He was so calm that if Li Yancheng had not seen him leave with his own eyes, he might have been deceived by him.
"Yanxi, do you still remember what I said to you at the inn six years ago?"
When he suddenly brought up the past, Yan Xi felt even more panicked. Looking at the other person's smiling face, she felt a chill down her spine. "How could I not remember what the prince said to me?"
He smiled faintly, appearing calm on the surface.
"No, you don't remember. I once told you that you could call me by my name in private, but over the years, you've only called me by my name a few times. You've also forgotten that I like you so much that I don't want you to have anyone else in your heart."
Li Yancheng stepped forward, a chilling chill emanating from his entire body.
Yan Xi's scalp tingled, and she didn't know how she had offended him again. She backed away in panic, and in the end, she bumped into the hollow wooden carving on the bed. There was no way to retreat. "Wang... Yancheng, what happened? Calm down and talk to me properly. Don't be impulsive."
"Calm down?" Li Yancheng squeezed his shoulders with both hands and smiled coldly, "Haven't I been good enough to you in the past six years? Why are you still thinking about him? How do you expect me to calm down?!"
