"It's so lively outside that the Lan family is almost losing face, but you're so comfortable here." Lan Nuoling got angry when she saw Xu Tianze lying leisurely on the recliner as soon as she entered Xu Tianze's yard.
When she went to court these days, although other officials did not dare to talk about her in front of her, she could not ignore the gossipy and strange looks even if she wanted to. The culprit who caused all this was lying in his own small courtyard with peace of mind.
"It's winter now, why are you so angry, sister?" Xu Tianze opened his eyes and glanced at Lan Nuoling.
"Do you think the Sixth Prince hasn't bothered you recently? He doesn't even dare to come to the Lan Mansion anymore. Are you unhappy?"
Lan Nuoling's eyes flickered when she heard this. If Xu Tianze hadn't said it, she would have really forgotten about this matter. She was still thinking about how she had been in such a good mood these past few days, and how she slept so soundly at night.
When Xu Tianze pointed out the secret, she remembered that the Sixth Prince had not been to the Lan Mansion for a long time. In the past, she was harassed by the Sixth Prince every few days.
She always felt depressed, but now that the annoying Sixth Prince was gone, she did gain obvious benefits.
"Sister, please sit down and have some tea. I brewed it with medicinal herbs. It's especially warming to drink in winter." Xu Tianze pointed at the small table in front of him with his finger.
Lan Nuoling sat down and took the cup of tea that Xichen poured for her. It smelled of a light medicinal fragrance. When she took a sip of the tea, her body felt inexplicably warmer.
"This tea is really good. I didn't expect you to enjoy it so much." Lan Nuoling's body warmed up and his tone softened.
"That's because my sister doesn't know me well. I am the laziest person. If there wasn't a vicious tiger behind me, I probably wouldn't even move." Xu Tianze slumped in the recliner, swaying from time to time.
"By the way, you have irregular menstruation, and this tea will be most beneficial for you. Remember to bring the recipe later."
Lan Nuoling's eyes flashed with a gleam when he heard that, and then his eyes became calm again. It can be said that he is a man of great reputation. It seems that the rumor that Xu Tianze came from the Valley of Divine Doctors is true.
When she looked at the teacup in her hand again, Lan Nuoling suddenly remembered the letter Quan De sent her. She had originally thought that Quan De was praising Xu Tianze.
Now, Xu Tianze's gently displayed skill was already extraordinary, which showed Quan De's intention in sending people to her.
"Now that you have come to Minglan Country, you must want to inquire about the news of Gan Country, right?" Lan Nuoling put down the teacup in his hand, looking relaxed.
Seeing that Lan Nuoling was clearly waiting for him to ask, Xu Tianze curled his lips in disdain. Even if Lan Nuoling didn't say anything, he could guess it almost exactly. What else was there to ask?
"I'm not interested. It's just the same thing after all. What's the point of going back and forth to find out?"
Lan Nuoling was prepared for Xu Tianze to surrender, but this was the result. There was nothing else. She couldn't help but feel proud: "I heard that Emperor Gan mobilized many people to stir up trouble in Gan Country just to find you. Aren't you afraid?"
"If I were afraid, I wouldn't show up here. Instead of talking about this, why don't you tell me if there is anything new in Haojing?" Xu Tianze interrupted Lan Nuoling impatiently.
What is there to be afraid of? If Long Mujiang still can't find him in Gan Country, he will sooner or later turn his attention to the old site of Cangjie Country and Minglan Country.
By that time, it was only a matter of time before he was found, but he really didn't mind this. He even showed up in Haojing just to set a trap.
If Long Mujiang really wants him back and fails to send people to pick him up, he will definitely come in person, and that will be the day of Long Mujiang's death.
He just needs to make good plans in Minglan Kingdom and wait for that day.
"People like you are really scary. Fortunately, I am not your enemy." Lan Nuoling saw Xu Tianze strategizing and knew that Xu Tianze had already calculated people's hearts.
"You are wrong. People like me can never be abandoned easily. If anyone dares to abandon me, I will make him regret it for the rest of his life." Xu Tianze retorted with a smile, but his words were cold.
Lan Nuoling was silent for a while. He knew what Xu Tianze was referring to. It was inevitable that Xu Tianze was indeed an extremely outstanding talent, but if his talent was abandoned.
You will find out how pathetic Xu Tianze is. He has lived the first half of his life in the calculations and betrayal of others. This is also one of the reasons why she would easily accept Xu Tianze.
Because she and Xu Tianze are the same type of people, she can better understand how much they will gain in the end if they treat each other sincerely from the beginning and do not abandon each other later.
"I never have the habit of abandoning people after using them. You can live in this palace with peace of mind." After Lan Nuoling said this, he stood up and put the prescription handed to him by Xichen into his sleeve.
Just before leaving, he remembered the real purpose of his trip. "The Nanyang Prince's wife's birthday will be in half a month. You and I will go together. There's no point in stopping a game of chess just as it begins."
After saying that, Lan Nuoling left. She was planning to make some more selections in the next few days. When the time comes, she would equip Xu Tianze with a few people who are good at martial arts, which would make it more convenient for him to do things.
Xu Tianze smiled and pulled Xichen into his arms, and the servants who were originally in the yard automatically dispersed.
In the past few days, they have clearly seen Xichen's identity, so they are usually extremely respectful to Xichen. Now that they see their master preparing to get close to his male favorite, they naturally won't stand by and get in the way.
Gan State, Palace of Heavenly Purity
"Have you found the person?" Long Mujiang stood in the renovated yard, looking at the osmanthus tree that had long been burned to death.
"I am incompetent and have never done that." Xue Er knelt on one knee on the ground, not daring to look up at Long Mujiang.
Ever since Lord Xu completely disappeared, His Majesty's temper has become increasingly irritable. Concubine Lan originally wanted to use this opportunity to gain His Majesty's favor.
However, His Majesty was so angry that he sent Concubine Lan to the cold palace, and Lord Xu also gave Concubine Lan medicine before he left.
Nowadays, no one dares to pass by the cold palace late at night, because the screams and howls of Concubine Lan are particularly creepy.
There were actually some court officials who were so blind as to want His Majesty to expand his harem. His Majesty immediately executed all nine generations of their clan. If anyone pleaded for mercy, they would be punished with the same crime.
Xue Er still couldn't forget the scene of blood flowing like a river a month ago, so he became more respectful to his Majesty.
"Your Majesty, it's getting cold, you must take care of your health." Xiao Yangzi put a cloak on Long Mujiang, then stood aside respectfully with his hands hanging down.
His godfather was indeed a prophet. Now that His Majesty was increasingly eager to have Master Xu, he, a servant who had once been praised by Master Xu, would be able to sit on the throne more securely.
"People will definitely not disappear for no reason. If we can't find them in the entire country of Gan, then we will look somewhere else. If they are alive, we must find them. If they are dead, we must find their bodies." Long Mujiang clenched his fists tightly and no longer looked at the dead osmanthus tree.
