He Youyi curled her lips, her face showing no concern. "What? Brother, you're just overthinking it. I've even asked Princess Yuen, and she said she doesn't think my coming to see her is a bother, and she's happy to be with me."
Yan Xi poked her forehead and said, "You are stupid. If someone feels disturbed, would they tell you?"
"Anyway, I just think you're overthinking it. How could the Yuen County Master be so kind to you and think that?" He Youyi turned and ran away. "I'm leaving now, brother. I won't disturb you from studying anymore!"
The little girl was full of energy and ran away with her maid in green.
Yan Xi looked at the jogging person, smiled, retracted his gaze, and looked at Ming Zhu beside him, "Didn't you have something to say to me just now? Let's go back to the house and continue."
"Okay, young master." Mingzhu followed quickly.
Yan Xi returned to his room and sat down. Ming Zhu poured him a cup of tea and said, "Didn't you ask me to keep an eye on Prince Xiaoyao's movements? The day before yesterday morning, Prince Xiaoyao left Lin'an and set off for Jinzhou."
"Jinzhou? So far away." Yan Xi took a sip of tea, his heart sinking.
I don’t know when I will see him again after this trip.
He went to such a far place as Jinzhou. Even if he had great martial arts skills, it would still take some time to go back and forth.
Thinking of this, Yan Xi suddenly felt a headache.
"Forget it. Go to the study and get my books. I'll just read here for a while today."
"Yes." Mingzhu was about to turn around when she remembered something. She turned around and looked at him again, feeling a little conflicted and hesitant to speak.
Seeing this, Yan Xi asked doubtfully, "Is there anything else?"
"Master, this is what happened. I have a cousin. His family suffered a disaster, and he was the only one left at home. So he came to Lin'an to seek refuge with me, but I had nowhere else to go. I had been living in the He Mansion, so..."
At this point, his voice became lower and lower, and he glanced at him from time to time.
Yan Xi smiled knowingly, "If there's nothing wrong with his character, you can let him live here."
Mingzhu was overjoyed and quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Master! My cousin is honest and kind. Besides, I won't let him eat and live for free. It just so happens that I'm the only one serving you. If I let him help out, maybe when I'm busy, you won't have to worry about no one to serve you."
Yan Xi smiled and nodded, "Okay."
"I'll go get your book first, and then bring him to see you later." Mingzhu walked out the door happily with brisk steps, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.
…
In Lin'an City, in an inn somewhere, near the window.
Li Yancheng looked at the bustling and lively streets outside, took a sip of tea, placed his left hand on the table, and lit the teacup intermittently, making a tapping sound, as if he was waiting for someone.
After a while, there was a creaking sound and someone pushed the door open.
He turned around and looked at the person who came. "Any news?"
"In reply to my master, I have heard that Mr. He has returned to the He Mansion today. In addition, I have checked the man who claimed yesterday that he was the cousin of Mr. He's servant. This is true. I have also heard that the servant intends to bring him into the He Mansion." Jiu Yin bowed and spoke respectfully.
Hearing this, Li Yancheng's eyes flickered slightly, "Find an opportunity to detain him temporarily. I want to go to He's house to take a look."
Jiu Yin suddenly raised his eyes, "Master, over in Jinzhou..."
Li Yancheng glanced at him calmly, "This king knows his limits."
Jiu Yin moved his lips, but chose to keep silent.
