Chapter 12 Sima's Si
"Noon is noon. I am honest and trustworthy. How can I be someone who goes back on my word?"
Time has already shortened from evening to noon, and now there are still more than two hours left until noon. Chen Yanheng does not want to leave Anqin for a moment. He wishes he could hold him in his arms and take him wherever he goes, even to the toilet.
What's more, the secret guards in the Taifu Mansion are not in a position to show up. If they really return the account book to this kid, I'm afraid he will be buried with great ceremony today.
He couldn't bear to die until he had caught the girl and kissed her peacefully.
An Qin's eyes flashed, "I'll compensate you when you leave the palace."
Chen Yanheng pinched his waist and said, "My dear, you have plotted against me several times. Do you think I believe you?"
After failing to deceive, An Qin frowned coldly.
The palace was heavily guarded, and he hadn't been able to see any of it. Even if he got the account book after entering the palace, he might not be able to return.
This despicable villain really deceived him. Thinking about it carefully, it was too coincidental that the imperial edict was issued today. Shen Yanheng entered the palace yesterday, and the eunuch came to announce the edict at dawn this morning.
An Qin began to think about dying together again.
Seeing his deep look, Chen Yanheng couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. Having experienced the assassination tactics of his top assassins in the past few days, he was no longer as confident as when he just came back from Fengyue Villa - this little assassin's head was filled with a lot of vicious schemes, and if he wasn't careful, his head would really be in trouble.
Chen Yanheng stopped teasing An Qin, pinched his cheek, and whispered, "Act as my family member and follow me into the palace. When the time comes, not only will I give it to you, but I'll also have someone escort you out of the palace?"
The Grand Tutor's words were unbelievable. An Qin stared at him and continued to think deeply.
"If you can't leave the palace safely and get caught..." Chen Yanheng smiled and whispered in his ear, "Will I be buried with you?"
This is not necessary. A hint of hesitation gradually appeared on An Qin's cold face.
Chen Yanheng continued, "Give me a few temporary antidotes to hold on. If you can't leave the palace safely, I will die with you. If you can leave the palace safely, I will send the antidote to you then."
The man's warm fingers slid along Anqin's shoulders, and his words sounded flirtatious.
An Qin didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed that the so-called antidote he had just taken out was just a temporary detoxification pill. Instead, he glanced at the restless hands that were using his shoulders as if they were paper, feeling rather uncomfortable. The inexplicable throbbing in his heart floated out again, turning into a fluffy feather that gently scratched him.
He remembered that he was not ticklish.
Perhaps the master's hands are dirty and he has an infectious disease.
An Qin shrugged and flicked Chen Yanheng's hand away. Without blushing or beating his heart, he pretended to put away the temporary antidote pill with a new skin color. He then took out a green-skinned temporary antidote pill from his clothes piled aside and said, "One pill can only last for three days. Find a way out within three days."
It would be even better if he couldn't get out, but even if he did, he would never give him the antidote.
I have to keep an eye on the guards of the palace these days. If the Grand Tutor dies suddenly in the palace, he will have one more achievement to report to the owner of the manor.
He must have a place by the side of the owner!
An Qin's eyes were firm and flashed.
Shen Yanheng accepted it with all his heart, and breathed a sigh of relief, worried about his own head.

After packing up their things, the two of them took a carriage into the palace.
It took about an hour to get from the Taifu Mansion to the palace gate. By the time the two arrived at the palace gate, it was almost noon.
The guards at the palace gate were checking extra carefully today. Despite being full of questions, they followed the emperor's special instructions and for the first time stopped the tutor, who usually did not need to be reported for inspection.
"An assassin was spotted in the palace last night. Your Excellency, please get out of your sedan chair and register your family before entering the palace."
Chen Yanheng patiently helped An Qin get off the carriage. He wanted to carry the person down, but unfortunately, the other party stepped on his foot, so he jumped down.
Chen Yanheng felt quite sorry for her, so he took An Qin's hand and said to the left guard in a friendly manner: "This is my wife who has not yet married."
Chen Yanheng quickly swallowed his name, and suddenly remembered that he knew An Qin as a tutor, and although they had slept together several times, he had never asked the other party's name, and he almost got exposed.
If this little assassin, who only wanted to repay his debt, guessed his identity, he would probably wash himself up and deliver himself to his door, pretending to satisfy his desires, even though he knew he was coveting him.
But what he wants is not an empty shell puppet without sincerity.
Chen Yanheng winked at An Qin, who suppressed his anger and spoke in a deep voice, "Well, his last name is Qu and his given name is Si, the Si of Sima."
Chen Yanheng: “…” He always felt that this little assassin had something else to say.
The left gate guard: “…” I always feel like someone is being scolded.
The left gate guard secretly gave the tutor a look: This name is not very good.
Chen Yanheng gave him a helpless smile: Go ahead and die, I have a tough life.
The left guard nodded, quickly wrote down the names of Shen Yanheng and An Qin on a piece of paper, and then asked them to mount their horses: "Please stay in Dengque Palace for the next few days. You can leave the palace once every three days until the sacrificial ceremony is over."
"Thank you." Chen Yanheng took the wooden sign for Dengque Palace and pulled An Qin back into the carriage.
Thinking he didn't know the young assassin's name yet, he squeezed over to An Qin's soft stool and said, "Go to hell? Darling, you're cursing me to death? What's your real name?"
An Qin kept silent and did not answer, but looked at him as if to say, he would just call the name "Go to hell".
Chen Yanheng was calm and composed, holding the account book to order the assassin: "Account——"
An Qin muttered, "An Qin."
The assassin's name is not something worth keeping secret. His true appearance has been seen, so it's okay to tell him his name.
Shen Yanheng took his hand and asked, "How many people are there in your family?"
"I'm alone."
"There's only one stick of incense left until noon, and you're still trying to lie to me?"
How did he know he was lying?
After all, this wasn't a secret. Fengyue Villa was very safe, so there was no need to worry about the thieves using tricks to steal and arrest people. An Qin pursed his lips and said honestly, "Brother and sister."
Chen Yanheng continued to ask: "Brother and sister?"
"Um."
"How much younger than you are?"
"Three years old."
"Then you should be fifteen or sixteen this year." Chen Yanheng nodded seriously, "It's the age when you love beauty. I'll send someone to buy some pearl hairpins and clothes for you to take away."
An Qin became alert. Could this shameless villain have done something dirty to An Xiner?
Shen Yanheng hummed happily, holding his hand, his face full of tenderness: "Just consider it a gift from me as your sister-in-law."
An Qin: “…”
Chen Yanheng: "What else does my cousin like?"
An Qin: “…………”
An Qin closed his eyes silently, curled up his fingers and clenched them into fists, and began to stare at Shen Yanheng's head dimly.
Shen Yanheng: “…”
