Chapter 268: The Infatuation of a Powerful Official (53)



He Yanxi’s proposal?

Li Yancheng's eyes moved slightly, "There's something strange."

If the person he loves is his junior fellow apprentice, it is understandable that he suggested that He Wei adopt him as his adopted son, but if he enrolled him in the ancestral hall, then things would be a mess.

After entering the clan temple, the relationship between the two was like that of brothers. If they were together, it would be incest. He couldn't be so stupid.

Although he really hoped that Yan Xi didn't like Lou Jin, he had to be cautious about this matter.

Besides, He Wei doesn't seem like the kind of person who can be easily persuaded about such a big thing as joining the ancestral hall.

Unless this was something he had originally advocated.

Thinking of this, Li Yancheng raised his eyes in surprise, "Tell the people in Lin'an to investigate whether Prime Minister He has any illegitimate children, or any concubines, or whether he had any intimate relations with any women fourteen years ago."

He suspected that Lou Jin might be He Wei's illegitimate son.

If all this is true, then what is he worried about?

Jiu Yin was awakened by his words and immediately understood what he meant, "I will go and give the order right away."

The sound of footsteps beside his ears gradually faded away. Li Yancheng looked at the letter in his hand, slowly smoothed it out, and folded it up.

He actually wanted to go back and see He Yanxi.

The time they spent together was so short. Even if Lou Jin died, there would be another Lou Jin by his side in the future, but this person would definitely not be him.

He had to find a chance to stay with him for a long time.

Princess Yu'en is a nice person and has good relationships with many young ladies and gentlemen from official families.

On Princess Yuen's birthday, most of the young ladies and gentlemen in Lin'an were invited.

This also includes He Youyi and He Yanxi.

The birthday party was very lively, even several princes and princesses came.

This is enough to show that this princess is not only prestigious but also popular.

Banquets in upper-class society are nothing more than poetry recitation, couplet composition, music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

From childhood to adulthood, Yan Xi has participated in countless times and has long been able to learn from it.

However, getting used to it is one thing, and feeling uncomfortable is another.

When these young men of the nobility get together, they are bound to flatter and look down on others. Every word they say is sharp. They smile very kindly and happily, but what they say makes the other party extremely nervous. They still have to pretend to be calm, which is very tiring.

Yan Xi tried hard to ignore the disgust in his heart and responded one by one.

There is no way. The officialdom is more terrifying than this. If he can't even stand this, how can he be a good official in the future?

Just when everyone seemed to be chatting happily, there was suddenly a commotion from the women's side.

"Oh no! Someone come quickly! There's an assassin!"

Hearing this, Yan Xi stood up suddenly and hurried over without caring about anything else.

He Youyi is still there. This little girl knows some basic kung fu and will definitely show off.

Some noble sons who were skilled in martial arts saw him passing by and followed him to help.

The scene was in chaos, with three or five assassins, all of them agile.

However, these assassins did not attack others, but instead chased He Youyi, Princess Yuen, and a princess in green clothes next to them.

When Yan Xi arrived, he saw He Youyi using her mediocre kung fu to protect the two of them behind her.

But she was no match for the assassin and was knocked down in just a few moves.

"Youyi!" Princess Yuen, dressed in purple, saw her fall to the ground. She quickly let go of Princess Qingyi's hand, ran over to pick up He Youyi, and looked at her nervously, "Are you okay?"

He Youyi shook her head and said, "It's okay, I just feel a little dizzy."

Seeing that there was no one to protect Princess Qingyi, the assassin's eyes flashed coldly and he stabbed her viciously.

Princess Qingyi was so frightened that she became stunned and forgot to dodge.

The female guard who was entangled by several other assassins was shocked all over, and could not get away for a while, so she could only worry.

At this critical moment, Yan Xi drew his sword, jumped forward, deflected the assassin's sword, pulled the princess to a safe place, and started fighting with the assassin.

Princess Qingyi escaped from danger and felt relieved, but her eyes were fixed on Yan Xi who was fighting with the assassin, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

When He Youyi saw the young man easily subduing the assassin, her eyes immediately lit up, "As expected of my brother, he's amazing!"

As soon as the words fell, He Youyi felt a sharp pain in her head. She gasped for air, tears welling up in her eyes. "Ah, why does my head suddenly hurt so much?"

Seeing this, Princess Yuen frowned slightly, "He must have knocked his head. Don't get excited."

"Oh, okay, okay." He Youyi calmed down her excited mood.

Soon, all the other assassins were subdued by the young masters who came to help.

Afterwards, the assassins were taken away for interrogation and peace returned to the mansion.

Yan Xi then felt relieved to ask about He Youyi's condition. She found that she was dizzy and her head was swollen. She suspected a concussion. Her heart couldn't help but lift up and she was very nervous. "No, I have to take you to see a doctor."

He Youyi didn't take it seriously, "Brother, I'm fine, I'll be fine soon."

Yan Xi had a stern face and was about to speak when a soft voice came from the side, "If you don't mind, this princess can help her take a look."

The one who spoke was the princess in green. Her cheeks flushed, and she stared straight at Yan Xi and explained, "This princess is well versed in medicine, so perhaps I can help."

Yan Xi was slightly stunned and bowed politely, "Then I'll trouble you, Sixth Princess."

The Sixth Princess Li Yuling is the Queen's biological daughter. Because of the difficult labor, the Sixth Princess was born weak and sickly, and rarely appears in everyone's sight.

However, the Queen Mother loved the princess very much and gave her almost everything she asked for.
