Chapter 72: Second Visit



There were obviously fewer secret guards in the bedroom. Perhaps the people who deployed the secret guards thought that no one could get so close to Yue Nanxuan!

She moistened her fingers in her mouth and then poked a hole in the window paper. Just as Lan Shuiyao was about to press her body against the window to look out, she heard a sound not far away. She suddenly had an idea and without caring about anything else, she pushed the door open and went in.

Fortunately, there was no one in the room. Just as she was secretly rejoicing, the door was suddenly pushed open and she quickly disappeared behind the curtain of the bed.

"Come in, come in, be careful. This is the emperor's treasure. If you break it, none of you will survive!" The eunuch chief's shrill voice rang out, and four young eunuchs carried in a jade screen and placed it carefully in the room.

"Okay, you all go down!" The eunuch chief waved his hand, signaling the young eunuchs to go down.

A man looked around the screen, knocked on it, and said to himself, "It's strange. There's nothing special about this screen. Why does the emperor like it so much all of a sudden? He even ordered someone to move it from the villa..."

Shui Yao, who was hiding behind the curtain, heard him mumbling. Finally, she couldn't resist her curiosity and stuck her head out to take a look. Wasn't that the screen she and Yue Nanxuan used to divide the loot?

I thought he would throw it away without hesitation, but I didn't expect that he would actually go to the trouble of mobilizing a large force to move such a big thing from the villa to the palace!

"The Emperor has arrived!" A eunuch suddenly shouted outside the door. The chief eunuch hurried forward to open the door. Yue Nanxuan, dressed in an elegant and noble bright yellow brocade robe, walked in with a swagger.

"Your Majesty, the screen you requested has been arranged!

"The chief eunuch immediately knelt on the ground and reported.

Yue Nanxuan said calmly: "Okay, all of you go down!"

"Yes!" Everyone obeyed, and soon the room returned to silence with the rustling of clothes. With a creak, the door closed.

Lan Shuiyao hid behind the curtain and hadn't heard any movement from Yue Nanxuan for a long time. She couldn't help but stick her head out to look suspiciously, but she didn't expect to see a scene that surprised her.

Yue Nanxuan leaned over the table, his inky eyes emitting a hazy light, and his slender white fingers gently stroked a painting on the table, as if he was touching an extremely precious piece of porcelain.

Was it Qi Baishi's shrimp or Xu Beihong's horse? Or Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa that made him so obsessed and precious? Lan Shuiyao's curiosity was piqued.

She believed that a painting that was precious even to the current emperor must be priceless! If she couldn't find Ying tonight, it would be nice to take a painting back home, which would be her reward for her hard work tonight!

Just as he was about to take action, he heard a commotion outside the room, and a proud woman's voice rang out: "I want to see Third Brother, Third Brother, I have something important to tell her!"

Yue Nanxuan quickly collected the painting on the table and carefully put it aside, "Let her in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open, and then a flash of goose yellow appeared, and a petite figure broke in, drawing a sharp arc in the air, and a delicate and beautiful person was already standing in front of him.

"Nanhan, why are you always so unruly? It seems like I've spoiled you!"

Yue Nanxuan sighed and stretched out his hand.

He stroked Nan Han's hair with his hand, "Prince A Luo will be in court tomorrow, and your marriage with him must be finalized. You will be married soon, and you can't be as willful as you were at home!"

Nan Han stamped her feet and said willfully, "Third brother, I came here this time just for my marriage. I don't like that A Luo, and I won't marry him. If you really want me to get married, marry me to Leng Yichen!"

Yue Nanxuan's eyes darkened, and he said seriously, "What did you say? Leng Yichen? Do you know how many women he has? The brothels and gambling houses in Yuecheng are his home. You want to marry a man like this?"

"Third brother, he had no choice. He has been a hostage in our country for so long. I am afraid that Han Country no longer cares about him as the crown prince. I believe that I am the fairy who can save him from the sea of ​​suffering!

Third brother, Leng Yichen is in Nanyue anyway, and Han Country doesn't show much respect to him. I think it would be better if you marry me to Leng Yichen, and we form an alliance with Han Country, and then let Leng Yichen go back, let him ascend the throne, and submit to our country. What do you think?"

Nanhan hugged Yue Nanxuan's arm and acted coquettishly.

Yue Nanxuan stretched out his index finger and gently scratched Nanhan's nose, "Do you know the principle of letting the tiger go back to the mountain? There are two possibilities for Leng Yichen to do this now. One is that he is really a hopeless person and there is no need to be afraid of him. The other is that he is probably just pretending and acting for you.

And you didn't see through him. If it's the latter, if you marry her, not only will you be happy, but even your life will be in jeopardy. Nanhan, listen to your third brother and talk about it after you meet Prince A Luo tomorrow. I heard that Prince A Luo is also a very handsome man, no less handsome than Leng Yichen.

Difference!"

Nan Han pushed Yue Nanxuan away and stomped her feet fiercely, "Third brother, you keep saying that you are doing this for my happiness, but isn't it actually for the country? I am just a little woman who only wants to live a happy life. Why do you base my happiness on political purposes?"

Yue Nanxuan's expression suddenly darkened, "Nanhan, don't mess around, this is the sadness of us as members of the royal family, look at Third Brother's harem, there are so many beauties, but which one does Third Brother really like?

Look at your brother, two princesses and a concubine, which one does he like? We can sacrifice so much for the country, why can't you?"

Nan Han was stunned. She looked at her third brother in disbelief. She couldn't believe that he, who had always been unruly and treated etiquette as a joke, could say such righteous words.

For a moment, she didn't know how to refute, so she just covered her face, cried loudly, and finally slammed the door and walked away.

Yue Nanxuan looked at the two swaying doors and shook his head helplessly. At least in his opinion, Nanhan would be much happier marrying A Luo than marrying Leng Yichen. Leng Yichen...

Yue Nanxuan walked straight to the desk and opened the notes sent by the secret guard. On it was recorded every stroke of Leng Yichen's diet and daily life, what he did, what he said, who he met, and even what he ate.

He never found any flaws. He didn't know whether he hid it too well or he was really an abandoned prince who didn't need to be worried about at all, even the Han Kingdom had given up!

Lan Shuiyao, hiding in the curtains, yawned impatiently, wondering why Yue Nanxuan didn't go to bed quickly so that she could take action on the painting.

Just thinking

Then, Yue Nanxuan finally stood up from the desk and took two steps outside, but suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around, took the painting in his hand, pushed open the door and walked out.

Lan Shuiyao could not hide the disappointment in her eyes, and she was even more certain that it was a priceless painting, otherwise Yue Nanxuan would not treasure it so much.

However, it seemed impossible to steal the painting tonight, so he flipped through the study and his eyes fell on the booklet. It turned out that it recorded every word and deed of Leng Yichen.

It must be Yue Nanxuan who sent someone to follow. I didn't expect that Yue Nanxuan, who looked so carefree, actually had such deep thoughts, especially in the last few pages, Lan Shuiyao's name appeared several times.

After leaving the palace, Lan Shuiyao gradually slowed down her pace. She recalled Yue Nanxuan's evaluation of Leng Yichen in her mind and could not help but pursed her lips and sneered. She was afraid that Leng Yichen was really like what Yue Nanxuan said. He was a sleeping tiger. Once he was let go, there would be endless troubles.

But it also shows that Leng Yichen is still worth using. She doesn't want the business of Lanshui Tower to be limited to Nanyue. If she helps Leng Yichen, with the support of the emperor of Han Kingdom, isn't she afraid that her business will prosper?

Having made up her mind, Lan Shuiyao went straight to the Leng Mansion. Leng Yichen had wanted to see her many times, and she believed that her appearance at this time would definitely surprise him!

Familiar with the route, Lan Shuiyao went straight to Leng Yichen's room.

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, the wind was gentle and the dew was white, and the freshness flowing slowly in the air swept away the scorching heat of the day.

There was still candlelight in the room. Leng Yichen's cold figure was reflected on the window. The shadow swayed with the wind, and it actually gave off a sense of desolation.
