Chapter 414 Tang Ning leaned in and kissed his chin
Xiao Yan pinched her knuckles, and Tang Ning felt a little itchy. She curled her fingers and said in a soft voice, "Brother?"
"Um?"
Xiao Yan came back to his senses and met her puzzled gaze. He coughed lightly and said seriously, "Where did you put the golden branch?"
Tang Ning said without giving it much thought, "Nowhere in the capital is safe. Jiyun Lane is also eye-catching. The Lu family has people watching this place and the academy. It would be troublesome to send people out of the capital. I thought Jinzhi would be recognized by many people around Queen Lu, so I handed her over to my uncle from the Gu family for resettlement."
There are some things about Gu Helian that even Xiao Yan doesn't know.
Xiao Yan said, "I'll send someone to find Gu Helian tomorrow."
Now that he is back, Jinzhi can be put to use, and the matter of Prince Cheng still needs the help of Queen Lu's "loyal servant".
Tang Ning suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly, "Brother, if you tell Emperor An about Empress Lu, he will definitely be extremely embarrassed and angry. Will he make things difficult for you?"
Xiao Yan chuckled: "Do you think I'm that stupid? Naturally, someone else will be the one to give me the green hat. You just have to watch the show with me."
Tang Ning breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, so that Emperor An won't get angry out of shame."
"Don't worry, I'll make arrangements."
"Oh, by the way, what about General Di? Did Emperor An believe him?"
"I believe it. The Beiling War is real. He won't be suspicious."
"That General Di..."
Hmm…
Xiao Yan lowered his head and held her chattering mouth, swallowing all her words into his throat. Looking at the little girl's eyes that suddenly opened wide, he gently stroked her lips and said in a low voice:
"It's been so long since we last met, and you only care about other people? Don't you care about me?"
"I……"
Before Tang Ning could finish her words, she was kissed and lost in thought. Her face flushed and she couldn't help moaning as her body softened. That sound of helplessness and emotion made Xiao Yan even more lustful. He carried her down and put her on the couch, then leaned over.
From lips to ears, the kisses gradually confused her mind.
Tang Ning's hands were on his chest, unable to bear the heat between his lips and teeth. She was forced to tilt her neck back, and when her lips and tongue were numb, she felt the heat reaching her ears.
Tang Ning couldn't help but shudder slightly: "Brother..."
A delicate and charming voice, with a heart-stirring plea.
Xiao Yan gently touched her white jade earlobe, and seeing her ear gradually blush, he leaned in closer and whispered, "I heard that Xiao Haitang missed me so much that she cried."
Tang Ning's eyes were hazy, and she felt that all her attention was focused on the heat lingering on her neck and ears, and she didn't hear clearly what he said.
Something seemed to be touching my waist, and the fingertips were hot and seductive.
She had never experienced the stimulation of lust before, and her whole body was trembling slightly. When the numb feeling came over her, she couldn't help but grab Xiao Yan's clothes and cling on weakly.
"Brother..."
She only knew to call him softly, but she didn't know that this made her even more seductive.
Xiao Yan's eyes were dark, filled with a desire to devour people.
"Call me Yuan Sheng."
"Yuan...Yuan Sheng..."
The little girl had just opened her mouth when he bullied her.
When her hands were raised high, her slender neck tilted back, and the man buried in her neck seemed to want to swallow her up, caressing her body again and again, making her tremble slightly and the bell on her wrist rang softly.
…
They never got married, and it didn't last, but Tang Ning was still teased by him and lost in thought.
Her eyes were red and misty with tears, her whole body was stained with shame, and she curled up in his arms.
As Xiao Yan wrapped the person in his arms and breathed in fear, he felt that he was asking for trouble, but he still touched her exposed delicate neck. He saw her suddenly look up and glare at him with shame and anger, and she struggled to get out of his arms.
Xiao Yan felt guilty: "Don't worry, I will deal with the matter in Beijing as soon as possible so that I can marry you..."
"Who urged you to marry?"
Tang Ning was even more embarrassed, as he spoke as if she wanted that and was forcing him to marry her.
Obviously...
It was clearly him who took advantage of her just now, how could he...how could he...do that.
How could a eunuch...
Thinking about what happened just now, the unprecedented unfamiliar feeling made people feel like they had lost their soul.
Tang Ning kicked hard, embarrassed and angry, and used her elbow to push him to get up. Xiao Yan quickly pulled him back: "I'm anxious. It's my brother who wants to marry Xiao Haitang. I'm so anxious that my whole body hurts...ah..."
The little girl was hit hard on the chest, and her face turned red with anger. She looked obviously furious.
Xiao Yan's face turned pale and he groaned.
Tang Ning suddenly quieted down: "What's wrong with you?"
Xiao Yan was free from his shackles, supporting himself on the edge of the couch with one hand, his head lowered and his lips tightly pursed.
Tang Ning panicked a little and quickly spun off him: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Yan whispered, "It's okay. I got a little injured when I went to the northwest..."
"You were injured, why didn't you tell me? Your injuries hadn't healed when you left Beijing, and you were injured again when you went to the northwest. How dare you do this again after returning?" Tang Ning's face flushed away, and she was filled with anxiety: "How serious are your injuries? Let me see..."
"Just some minor injuries..."
"I don't believe it!"
How could he be in so much pain for a superficial wound? You have to know that he was able to endure such a serious injury on his waist without making a sound. Seeing that Xiao Yan refused to show her, Tang Ning felt that he might be seriously injured. She directly pressed him on the couch and reached out to pull his clothes.
"Don't look at it, it's scary..."
"Don't move!"
Tang Ning shouted angrily and glared at Xiao Yan before unbuttoning his clothes. When he saw the faint wound on his front, he quickly took off all his clothes and saw scars of varying sizes on his back and arms.
"Why are you so injured? Are you stupid? You didn't even tell me you came back..." Tang Ning's eyes were red and his voice was trembling.
Xiao Yan was sitting naked on the edge of the couch with his back to the couch. He originally wanted to act pitiful to divert the little girl's attention, but he didn't expect that he would make her cry.
He wanted to turn around: "It's really nothing, it just looks a little scary, but it's just flesh wounds. It will heal in a few days and it will be fine. Don't cry."
"I'm not crying." Tang Ning lowered her voice and held him down stubbornly, not allowing him to move: "Have you applied the medicine?"
"I got it, but I lost some of it on the way back to the capital..."
"I'll put it back on for you."
She trotted to the side and took out the medicine that Lady Qin had given her from her dressing box. When she came back, she had already suppressed her tears. She squatted down and carefully applied the medicine to his wound while asking:
"Didn't you say everything was going well in the northwest? How did you get hurt like this?"
Xiao Yan felt her fingertips touching the wound with caution and pity, and his previous lustful thoughts disappeared completely.
He felt a warm feeling in his heart, and his voice was low.
"I deliberately sustained some injuries when I went to the northwest to gain Di Tao's trust. After a few days of recuperation, I was no longer in any danger. However, when I returned to the capital, I learned that Jinyun had an accident in the south and Lu Jiuan was leading his men to hunt him. So I led my men south and fought with Lu Jiuan's men."
Tang Ning frowned: "Lu Jiuan is so powerful, he still has so many people after leaving the capital?"
Xiao Yan propped himself up with his hands. "The Lu family's influence isn't entirely in the capital. They have deep ties with officials in the South. And I don't know why Lu Jiuan went south this time. Many of the people he sent to hunt down Jinyun don't look like Lu family assassins. Instead, they look like soldiers."
"The Lu family has always maintained private soldiers. I'm afraid Lu Chongyuan has handed them all over to Lu Jiuan..."
Tang Ning paused: "What about them?"
Xiao Yan knew she was worried and whispered to comfort her, "I've already sent people to follow the people sent by Lu Jiuan to the Southland to investigate. No matter what they want to do, it's impossible for them to do it without leaving any traces. Moreover, if they capture Lu Chongyuan and the Lu family and cut off their foundation in the capital, Lu Jiuan will not be able to achieve anything even if he wants to."
As long as the Lu family is safe, there will be people who can support Lu Jiuan in whatever he does. But if the Lu family falls, if he uses those private soldiers, it will be treason.
Xiao Yan could kill him with justification.
Tang Ning breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and carefully applied medicine to Xiao Yan's wound, blowing gently at the same time for fear of pain. The slightly warm breath fell on his skin, making Xiao Yan's back tense and his muscles tremble.
After finally enduring the time when Tang Ning had applied the medicine, Xiao Yan hurriedly put on his clothes. He didn't dare to tease the girl anymore, but just pulled her in front of him and hugged her.
Tang Ning said anxiously: "Don't do anything rash, you are injured..."
"Don't mess around." Xiao Yan rested his chin on her shoulder and whispered, "I've been running non-stop for a month, I'm a little tired. Let me hold Xiao Haitang..."
Tang Ning listened to the tiredness in his voice and finally calmed down.
Xiao Yan hugged Tang Ning and leaned against the pillow, Tang Ning nestled in his arms.
The candles in the house were crackling, and a drizzle was falling outside. As time passed, the rain gradually became heavier.
Tang Ning was distracted by the sound of rain for a while, and then he realized that there was no movement behind him. He looked up slightly and found Xiao Yan leaning there with his eyes closed and sleeping.
He was breathing slowly, his eyes were a little blue, and his face was pale from the injury, looking a little disheveled.
Tang Ning leaned over and kissed his chin, then carefully stepped out of his arms. She went to get a thin blanket and held it over to him, then curled up again and leaned against him.
