Chapter 585 Be good, let me hug you
The two of them were already close together, and Xiao Yan noticed as soon as the person in his arms moved.
"Where do you want to go?"
Xiao Yan chuckled softly, his laughter lingering, a little hoarse, and extremely seductive.
Tang Ning's ears turned red: "Brother..."
Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly screamed, but it was Xiao Yan who reached out and grabbed her waist and pulled her back.
She suddenly bumped into a sturdy body, and before she could say anything, a shadow leaned over and approached her. Without waiting for her to resist, Xiao Yan swallowed all the moans from her mouth between his lips and teeth.
…
The half-burned candle flickered gently, and the bell by the window rang softly.
The morning light came in through the window lattice, mixing with the candlelight, stretching the overlapping shadows of the two people.
…
It seemed as if bamboo branches were swaying gently back and forth, and the tips of the leaves were rustling around my ears.
After the morning makeup, the silk sleeves are entangled.
After a long time, he felt that the person in his arms was having difficulty breathing, so he climbed up his neck and gently pulled his ear to "resist."
Xiao Yan let go of the sweetness in his mouth, and when he looked up and stepped back, he saw the little girl's almond-shaped eyes were misty. There was a layer of mist in her pupils, which still had a charming look, as if she had been kissed and cried, and even the corners of her eyes were stained with crimson.
"How come after so many times, you still don't know how to breathe?"
Xiao Yan kissed her slightly open, red lips and teased in a low voice, "You're so shy, what are we going to do in the bridal chamber after we get married?"
Tang Ning knocked him in front of the body: "Shut up!"
Seeing that he opened his thin lips as if he wanted to say something, she quickly reached out to cover his mouth and said in a very soft and gentle voice, "Don't say it!"
Xiao Yan was amused by her and laughed out loud.
The breath under the palm of her hand moved, bringing a slight tingling sensation, and the man's laughter made her cheeks red with embarrassment.
"You're still laughing!"
Tang Ning grabbed the soft flesh on his waist in annoyance as if threatening him. Xiao Yan's waist stiffened for a moment, but the little hand didn't hurt, but it made him feel uneasy.
Xiao Yan squeezed her hand and held her close, saying as if to coax her, "Stop laughing."
After he finished speaking, he lifted her by the waist and placed her upright, letting her sit with her back facing him. Then he put his arms around her and whispered in her ear:
"Be good, let me hug you."
The little girl couldn't see his expression, but she could hear the smile in his voice. She turned her head and glared at him coquettishly, but did not break free from the embrace behind her. She just moved and found a comfortable place to lean on.
The chill that Xiao Yan had contracted from outside had already dissipated, and the atmosphere was warm as the two embraced each other.
Tang Ning leaned in for a while before asking softly, "Is everything going well in the palace?"
"It went pretty smoothly."
Xiao Yan never treated Tang Ning as an ordinary girl, nor did he mind letting her know what was going on in the court.
If the two want to move forward side by side, they both need to go through growth.
Xiao Yan whispered briefly about how Emperor An had made things difficult for him after he entered the palace at night, how he and Liu Tong'en had forced him, and how he had later taken advantage of the opportunity to turn the tables.
After finishing speaking, he said:
"I had previously suspected that the matter concerning Prince Pingshan was related to Emperor An. After entering the palace and seeing Liu Tong'en's demeanor, I knew it was most likely related to them. Emperor An and Liu Tong'en are fools. They think they can get the Tiger Tally back just by asking them. They really think I'm easy to manipulate."
Xiao Yan sneered, as if mocking the two of them.
"There's not much use for me keeping the tiger talisman, so I'll take this opportunity to give it to General Yin and Marquis Wenxin. I feel more at ease with them leading the troops."
Tang Ning had a good understanding of Marquis Wenxin's character, and he also had a good impression of General Yin, who had spoken up for justice at the palace banquet and risked his life. Although these two people were not close to his brother, at least they would not seek personal gain as long as they held the tiger talisman.
Tang Ning asked in a low voice: "What happened to the man who escaped from Pingyang County? Have you seen him, brother?"
"What did you see?" Xiao Yan scoffed. "It was Emperor An who organized the party tonight, with Liu Tongen serving as the scapegoat. On the other hand, the man who fled back to the capital from the Southland after his battle with Prince Pingshan has never shown up since the beginning."
"I don't know whether that person is alive or dead, but I suspect that even if he still has a breath, he will be seriously injured and die in the palace if he returns."
There must be an intermediary in the "conspiracy" between Emperor An and Nandi, and the people sent by Liu Tongen would most likely know about it.
The person who escaped was the biggest stain on Emperor An. Emperor An would never dare to leak any information to let anyone know what he had done, especially since the matter had not been completed yet. It was even more impossible for Emperor An to spare that person's life.
That person will inevitably die.
Tang Ning had long known Emperor An's character. It was not surprising for such a vicious, unscrupulous and unscrupulous person to kill someone.
Tang Ning said with some concern, "Emperor An came for the Tiger Talisman. Even though you gave it to General Yin and the others, I'm afraid Emperor An won't give up so easily. Besides, he's colluding with Prince Pingshan and the others. Maybe he promised them something else?"
"Since the Tiger Tally hasn't been taken back, and you haven't been forced out of the capital, will Emperor An make another move elsewhere, or will he really go all out and join forces with Prince Pingshan and the others?"
Xiao Yan put his arm around her and said casually, "That's not the case. Although Emperor An has no bottom line, he is extremely selfish and not the kind of person stupid enough to sacrifice his own interests for the sake of others."
"Although he wanted to use the matter of Prince Pingshan to force me, he didn't dare to gamble with the throne. I guess he probably didn't let people know about the alliance with Lu Jiuan and others. He just deliberately let people reveal the flaws and let them know that he wanted to eliminate me."
Lu Jiuan is extremely shrewd, and although King Pingshan is reckless, he is not a fool.
Emperor An ordered someone to hand over the ladder to them, so they would naturally not let it go. However, Emperor An would definitely not hand over his handle to those two people, allowing others to endanger his throne, or even use it to control him in the future.
Xiao Yan hugged Tang Ning and said, "Emperor An can only do a few things. Either stop Marquis Wenxin and his men from marching south to quell the rebellion, or instigate others to tamper with the rebel army."
"He's most likely trying to cause Marquis Wenxin and his men to suffer a defeat in the southern campaign, so he can use the excuse of their incompetence to send others into the southern army and deprive them of their military power."
Marquis Wenxin and General Yin were different from him.
Those two were already very prestigious in the army, especially General Yin. He was Taizu's confidant and the pillar of the army. Many of the lieutenants he brought with him were now in charge of a region. It was no exaggeration to say that he could command the support of hundreds of people in the army.
The tiger talisman might be just a waste in Xiao Yan's hands, and it would be difficult to convince others with it.
However, if it falls into the hands of General Yin and Marquis Wenxin, it will become a real military order to mobilize troops, and even a "weapon" that can threaten Emperor An's throne and the imperial power of the Xie family.
How could Emperor An be at ease?
