Chapter 200 Xiao Jian Appears
Prince Guo’s Palace.
Jingyan watched Yongheng practicing boxing in the yard with boredom.
"Brother, I finally came back, so it's not right for me not to see Fu Ling'an. I don't know what he's been busy with recently. He's not around all day."
The only time Jingyan could see Fu Lingan these days was when he came to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager in the morning. But he couldn't say a few words before he had to go to do his work again.
Yongheng knew it, but he didn't dare to say it.
In the past few days, Prince Guo has been asking Fu Ling'an to come to his home to learn from him every day, saying, "If you want to marry my daughter, you must learn how to pamper your wife."
In the end, he didn't teach him anything useful. He either arranged for him to play chess with him or to practice boxing and martial arts with Yongheng.
As a result, Jingyan was still busy in the palace every day and never went home.
Fu Ling'an felt very miserable, but he didn't dare to refuse his future father-in-law.
As a result, Jingyan finally came back today, and Prince Guo informed Fu Lingan in advance that he didn't need to come to study today, under the pretext of taking a day off.
The abacus was clacking so loudly that the beads hit Yongheng's face.
But he was still a little happy. Hehe, Yongheng was determined to form a united front with his father and was committed to making things difficult for his future brother-in-law.
But this must not be known to my lovesick sister, otherwise she will not dare to fight with my father, but I will not be able to escape her clutches.
For this, Yongheng nodded seriously: "Yes, there are indeed a lot of things going on in the court recently."
Jing Yan curled his lips and said, "There must be time for dinner. Send someone to Fu Cha Mansion to tell him that we are waiting for him at Baiweizhai and ask him to come as soon as he is done with his work."
Jingyan couldn't stay in the house, so after Yongheng finished practicing boxing, he dragged him to the street.
After witnessing Jingyan's excessive eating and drinking, Yongheng sincerely asked, "Will you still be able to eat later?"
Jingyan touched his belly and said, "There's still some room left."
"Hey! Brother, it's just right. Go buy me some candied haws to help me digest my food."
Don’t you think it’s a coincidence that this candied haws vendor came here?
Yongheng had no choice but to accept his fate and buy her candied haws.
"Sister, do you feel like someone is watching us?"
Jingyan took the candied haws, looked around, found nothing, and could only shake his head.
Yongheng nodded and said in a slightly cocky tone, "Maybe it's because I'm too handsome, so some girls are peeking at me."
Jingyan was speechless, rolled his eyes and walked forward.
The two of them walked around a few more times and felt tired, so they decided to go directly to Baiweizhai and find a private room to have some tea and rest for a while.
"Please bring Fu Lingan over to our side when he arrives. We can serve our dishes as soon as he arrives."
The waiter bowed and nodded, served the customer tea, and then left.
Jingyan leaned on the window and looked at the bustling crowd below.
In addition to the delicious taste, the good location is also a big reason for Baiweizhai’s popularity.
Looking down from the window, you can see the busy streets below, and looking up, you can see all kinds of scenery in the distance. The views from different boxes are different. The boss has really considered the locations carefully.
Huh? Is that Xiao Jian? This time, Xiao Jian wasn't wearing a mask, and his face looked exactly like the one in the show. Jing Yan immediately spotted him in the crowd.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jian still came to the capital. Jing Yan looked at him carefully and concluded again that the masked man in the last assassination by the White Lotus Sect was Xiao Jian.
But now seeing his face and then looking at his iconic accessories, it really fits the setting perfectly. He carries it everywhere and doesn't find it a hindrance.
Thinking of this, Jingyan burst out laughing.
But the next moment she couldn't laugh anymore. She had not forgotten Xiao Jian's hatred for the emperor. His appearance in the capital meant that he had not given up on assassinating the emperor.
Thinking about the drama, Xiao Jian appeared to find an opportunity to assassinate the emperor. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor adopted Xiao Yanzi as his adopted daughter and gave her the position of princess, and if it weren't for Qing'er, and Yongqi eloped with Xiao Yanzi, Xiao Jian might not have been able to suppress his desire for revenge.
But now Xiaoyanzi is no longer a princess, and she and Qing'er have no connection, so it is hard to say whether Xiao Jian will continue to seek revenge.
Before this, Jing Yan had always believed that the masked man who took the opportunity to assassinate the emperor during the White Lotus assassination that day was Xiao Jian, but afterwards when Fu Ling'an was clearing out the remnants of the White Lotus, he did not find anyone or anything related to him.
It was as if he had disappeared since the day the assassination failed.
There was no trace of him found, and now seeing him again, Jingyan was very excited.
"Brother, look at that man. Does he look like the masked man who assassinated Uncle Huang?"
Yongheng followed Jingyan's gaze to the corner and saw the man wearing the flute and sword.
After seeing his eyes, Yongheng almost concluded that it was this person. He seemed to be shopping and didn't notice anyone looking at him.
Yongheng and Fu Ling'an searched for a long time that day but could not find any trace of him. They did not expect that he would appear in the capital. He must be up to something bad.
"Sister, I'll hold you in my arms later. Don't make any noise. We'll follow him."
Jingyan refused immediately upon hearing this. She knew her own limitations. "I won't hold you back any more. I'll be waiting for you here. You must be careful."
Unexpectedly, Yongheng shook his head seriously and said, "No, Ling'an and I have been looking for this guy, but he has been missing for a long time. He showed up here today. I'm not sure if he's setting a trap. I can't leave you here rashly."
I didn’t expect that my brother had such a thoughtful side. Jingyan felt warm in his heart.
"It's okay, I still have secret guards protecting me."
Yongheng shook his head. "We're not bringing many people out today. You have to stay with me the whole time so I can feel at ease. Otherwise, I won't go."
"No, we finally met him, let's follow him quietly and see where he goes. If we see something wrong, we will run away immediately."
In fact, if Jingyan and Yongheng were given time to think carefully, they would definitely realize that something was wrong with this person, but time waits for no one. After finally discovering this person's whereabouts, Yongheng would be unwilling to give up if he did not catch him.
Seeing that person walking further and further away, he called the waiter and instructed, "We are going out for a while. If we don't come back after one stick of incense, please go to Fucha Mansion to inform him that his brother-in-law is in danger and ask him to come quickly."
This was a confusing statement, and the waiter didn't know whose brother-in-law it was, but Yongheng knew that Fu Heng and Fu Ling'an would understand.
After saying that, he picked up Jingyan and went straight downstairs, then quietly followed.
Xiao Jian seemed unaware and continued walking with a swagger.
As they were walking, Jingyan realized something was wrong and quietly tugged at Yongheng.
"Brother, don't leave, there's something fishy going on."
The two followed Xiao Jian into the alley. Although it was getting dark, there was no one around. Xiao Jian was quite skilled in martial arts, so how could he not have noticed that someone was following him?
Unless, he deliberately lured them here.
Yongheng also realized the seriousness of the matter in an instant, and immediately turned around and ran away with Jingyan.
Sure enough, Xiao Jian, who was swaggering in front, immediately turned around.
Damn it, they actually discovered us before we were led to the ambush.
