Chapter 1569 Jia Heng: Lan'er understands him...

Grand View Garden, Qiu Shuang Zhai

At this moment, Tanchun was wearing a pink dress, sitting on a soft couch under a carved window, holding a blue-covered book in her hands, listening to the wind and rain outside the window, hitting the banana tree, making crackling sounds.

As the raindrops fell outside the window, Tanchun flipped through the book in her hands. Her charming and naive eyes seemed to be shrouded in a layer of shame and anger.

Apparently, he was thinking of all the annoying aspects of the young man in the python costume.

Tanchun's innocent and bright face was blushing like a rosy cloud, and there was a hint of infatuation in her sparkling eyes.

Girls at this age are full of longing and fantasies about love.

The previous physical contact made Tanchun feel a little attached to him.

At this moment, the maidservant Shishu walked into the room quickly, her eyes flickered, and she said softly: "Miss, the master is here."

When Tanchun heard this, a touch of joy surged in her crystal clear heart. When she raised her delicate head with long black hair, her beautiful and bright face was flushed.

Brother Heng is here again.

I'm afraid he's here to bully her again.

At this moment, a tall and straight young man with stern eyes and eyebrows approached from the side of a pine wood screen embroidered with bamboo, rocks and hibiscus flowers, and said, "Third sister, I am reading a book now."

Tanchun's cool, clear eyes were filled with infatuation under her heroic eyebrows, and she said in a gentle voice, "Brother Heng."

Jia Heng came forward and sat down beside Tanchun, gently put his arm around her round shoulders, and whispered, "Third sister, I haven't seen you for a few days."

Tanchun hummed softly, then lowered her beautiful head with long black hair in front of her chest. Her bright and innocent face gradually turned slightly red.

As he spoke, he reached out and gently pushed away the hand of the young man in the python robe that was reaching into his clothes.

However, at this moment, the young man moved his face closer and covered her soft and slightly moist lips, greedily grabbing the sweet breath.

After a while, Tanchun's white and jade-like face turned flushed, and her eyes were watery and bright under her beautiful eyebrows.

Tanchun's eyebrows were curved, and her beautiful eyes were sparkling like water. She asked, "Brother Heng, have you predicted what's going on outside?"

Jia Heng said: "It's almost done."

Tanchun nodded, her eyes flickered, and she said gently, "The capital has been in a turmoil these past few days, but it should be quiet for a while."

At this moment, Jia Heng put his arm around Tanchun's shoulders, a thoughtful look in his eyes, and said, "Third sister, please serve me."

Tanchun: “…”

He came here just to let her serve him.

Tanchun snorted lightly. Although she was angry, she didn't say anything else. She moved closer to the young man in the python robe and with trembling delicate hands, she tried to untie the young man's belt.

After a while, a hint of shame and anger could be seen on that innocent and bright face, her lips were slightly open, and her cheeks were bulging and sunken.

Jia Heng was leaning on the couch at this moment, looking comfortable. He picked up a book beside him, put it close to him and started reading, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Tanchun's fair and tender face blushed as bright as clouds, and her sparkling eyes revealed a hint of infatuation.

Lilacs are in full bloom and the rain is drizzling.

At this moment, Jia Heng stretched out his hand and gently put it around Tanchun's shoulders, and a hint of trance appeared on his beautiful and bright face.

Tanchun's delicate, straight nose snorted softly, and two rose-red auras suddenly appeared on both sides of her innocent and bright face, and her eyes and eyebrows were full of charming waves.

Jia Heng gently put his arm around Tanchun's shoulders, his eyes sparkling like water, and whispered, "I will serve Third Sister, too."

As he spoke, he gently put his arm around the girl's slender waist.

Tanchun hummed softly and turned her beautiful head to the side. Two blushes appeared on both sides of her plump and lovely face, making her look bright, delicate and charming.

Then, the soft and fragrant body trembled, and two rosy red blushes appeared on that plump and lovely face.

At this moment, the summer rain outside the window is getting heavier and heavier, hitting the banana trees in the courtyard, and you can hear crackling sounds.

I don't know how long it was, but I saw the girl tremble violently a few times, and the sides of her white and jade-like face were filled with a bright and charming blush.

Jia Heng stared at the girl, took a plain silk handkerchief and wiped the water droplets off her face, with a strange look on his face, he said: "Today's rain seems to be a little heavier."

Tanchun: “…”

What is Brother Heng talking about now?

The girl's bright and pretty face suddenly blushed with shame, and beneath her green and beautiful eyebrows, her bright eyes were as clear as water.

At this moment, Jia Heng stared at Tanchun, whose body was so soft that it was almost rotten into a ball of mud. He felt the softness flowing between his fingers and whispered, "Third sister, you have really grown up."

Tanchun said in a trembling voice, "Brother Heng, it's not dark yet."

Jia Heng hugged Tanchun's shoulder, stared at her bright and beautiful face, and had some thoughts in his heart.

Outside the window, one could see the rain pouring down rapidly, with crackling sounds and trickles falling from the eaves. Within the blue bricks, the grass was green and lush, looking even more lush and verdant.

After an unknown amount of time, Jia Heng gently embraced the girl's shoulders, feeling her inexplicable throbbing, and gently lifted a strand of hair from the girl's ear to her ear.

Tanchun's beautiful eyes showed a hint of infatuation under her heroic brows, and she said worriedly, "Brother Heng, you won't have...a child, will you?"

She is now...full.

Jia Heng looked at the innocent girl, couldn't help but pinch her plump and lovely face, and said, "Just give birth to the baby, don't worry too much about other things."

Tanchun hummed softly, and there was a hint of sweetness in her crystal clear heart.

Tanchun thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Heng, now that Lü Jiang has been removed from the cabinet, Li Gao and the others may be suspicious of what happened to Brother Heng before."

Jia Heng nodded and said, "I have a suspicion for sure. And the links are linked together, without a single leak."

Tanchun's plump and chubby face was flushed red, and she leaned her long black hair into Jia Heng's arms, her heart filled with happiness and sweetness.

Jia Heng put his arm around Tanchun's shoulders and whispered, "Sister, would you mind giving me some advice?"

Tanchun frowned, her eyes sparkling like water, and a thoughtful look appeared on her innocent and bright face. She said, "Brother Heng is in the capital city, and no one can shake Brother Heng. I am afraid that these people will ruin Brother Heng's reputation, and then the local people will rebel and the smoke of war will rise everywhere."

Jia Heng gently pinched the plump and soft breasts, and sighed with a calm and dignified face, and said in a gentle voice: "Third sister is right, but as long as the central Chinese flag does not fall, it should be fine."

Tanchun nodded and said, "Brother Heng, that is not an easy matter."

She really couldn't imagine how Brother Heng could risk the world's condemnation and represent the Han Dynasty.

While Tanchun was speaking, she leaned her beautiful head against the arms of the young man in the python robe and changed into a comfortable posture. A blush seemed to appear on her delicate and bright face.

Jia Heng said: "Yes, we can only take it step by step."

The two of them lay together and snuggled for a while, and even the summer rain outside gradually stopped.

The rainstorm stopped temporarily, the trees were green and lush, the branches and leaves were luxuriant, and the rain trickled down from the blue bricks and black tiles and fell with a loud noise.

Jia Heng, on his side, reached out and gently put his arm around Tanchun's round, smooth shoulders, and said, "Third sister, it's getting late, it's time to have lunch."

Tanchun responded softly. At this moment, the girl was like a young wife, her bright eyes sparkling like water, and she said in a trembling voice, "I'll help Brother Heng get up."

Jia Heng nodded and said, "Yes."

As he spoke, he found clothes beside him and quickly put them on. He saw that the sky outside was dark and gloomy, and red lanterns were hanging on the eaves of the corridor, swaying in the wind, casting circles of red light.

At this moment, Jia Heng could feel the cool breeze blowing on his face, and his mind felt a little dazed and absent-minded.

As he spoke, he calmed himself down. Under the orange-yellow light behind him, Tanchun's maid, Shishu, whose face was as white as snow, said, "Your Highness, the food is ready."

Jia Heng turned around and came closer.

At this moment, the maid handed over a basin of warm water and helped Jia Heng wash his hands.

Then, Jia Heng walked quickly over to a small rectangular lacquered wooden table and sat down.

At this moment, various dishes were placed on a lacquered wooden table. Under the light of candlelight, the soup was steaming and the aroma was overflowing.

Not long after, Tanchun also put on a pink dress, and with her plump face, she whispered, "Brother Heng, what's wrong?"

Jia Heng's face was filled with smiles. He greeted her and said, "Third sister, come and have something to eat."

Tanchun sat closer and washed her hands with the help of the maid, but there was still some spring love in her eyes and brows.

Jia Heng now picked up a pair of chopsticks and started eating.

After dinner, he did not linger in Qiu Shuang Zhai for long, but went to the house in front.

After all, Tanchun was nominally a virgin, so it was not appropriate for him to spend the night in Qiu Shuang Zhai.

At this moment, the Qichi Courtyard was brightly lit.

The two sisters Zhenlan and Zhenxi were chatting, while Yaruo went to the residence of Baoqin and Xiangyun and was not here.

While Jia Heng was speaking, he quickly walked into the side room and looked up at Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi who were sitting beside the coffee table.

After the rain, the two faces became even more charming and beautiful under the light.

Zhen Lan raised her eyebrows, her eyes sparkling with sparkling light. When she heard the footsteps coming from the corridor outside, her eyes were filled with surprise and she said, "My Lord, you are here."

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Well, come and spend the night."

Zhen Lan raised her eyebrows and looked at the young man in the python costume. Her beautiful eyes were as bright as water and she said softly, "Sister Xier, go get someone to prepare some hot water."

Jia Heng: "..."

Lan'er understands him.

I also know that he needs to wash off the dust of travel.

As he spoke, Jia Heng sat down, looked at Zhen Lan intently, and said softly, "Sister Lan, let's go to the palace together tomorrow."

Zhen Lan hummed softly.

Jia Heng picked up the blue and white porcelain teacup, took a sip, and said, "Recently, your father seems to have gone to Beijing?"

"We'll be arriving in the capital in the next two days." Zhen Lanyu smiled sweetly, her narrow, clear eyes sparkling like water, and she spoke in a gentle voice.

Jia Heng said in a gentle voice: "When we get to the capital, let's go and have a look together."

After a while, Zhen Xi was seen coming from not far away, with a hint of shyness on her pretty and bright face.

"Brother Heng, the hot water is ready."

Jia Heng looked at Zhen Lan with gentle eyes and said softly, "While you two are talking, I'm going to take a shower first."

While talking, he went to the inner room.

After a while, he changed into a blue robe and came to the hall. The bright candlelight illuminated the tall figure of the young man.

Jia Heng sat down on a pearwood chair, his face calm and resolute, with a shadow reflected beneath his brows.

At this moment, Zhen Lan came slowly over, helped Jia Heng hold his shoulders, and said, "My Lord, what are you worried about?"

Jia Heng said, "I'm thinking about something."

If he guessed correctly, since Chen Yuan had found Gao Zhongping, and considering the White Lotus Sect's roots in Bashu, the approximate place where Chen Yuan would cause chaos could be basically determined.

Sichuan!

Sichuan is connected to Tibet and the border areas. It can be said that once a rebellion breaks out, it will take a lot of effort to quell it.

If Chen Yuan wanted to raise the banner of supporting the king and suppressing the rebellion, it would obviously not be possible to do it alone. The only people he could use were the kings of Wei and Liang. If the three kings joined forces, they could fight against him together.

So, should Chen Yuan do as he wishes and let the King of Wei and the King of Liang leave the capital, allowing Sichuan to raise the banner of rebellion?

Zhen Lan raised her eyes to look at Jia Heng, who was frowning and lost in thought, and asked curiously, "My Lord, what's wrong?"

Jia Heng nodded and said, "It's okay. It's getting late. Let's take a rest."

If there is chaos in Bashu, will there be turmoil in the imperial court? What about the reaction of local civil officials? These are all complicated and confusing.

But one thing is certain: power can be centralized during wartime.

Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi came forward, helped Jia Heng undress, and supported Jia Heng onto the bed. They did not speak another word that night.

……

……

Time flies, and before we knew it, five or six days had passed since the students of the Imperial College went to Anshun Gate for the siege.

Jinyifu official hall, back hall

Qu Lang flipped through the file in his hand, then closed it again and placed it on the lacquered wooden desk beside him. Immediately, he nodded and said, "Submit these files to the cabinet for review."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jixian bowed in agreement, then instructed the Jinyifu captains who were serving him to gather the files, put them into wooden boxes, and then carry them out.

Qu Lang's eyes flickered, and he said in a gentle voice, "What happened to the matter the princess asked you to pay attention to earlier?"

Liu Jixian said, "I was just about to report to the commander that they had already sent people to keep an eye on the Gao family. The third and second sons of the Gao family left the capital and returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors."

Qu Lang thought for a moment, then sneered, "Why offer sacrifices to the ancestors at this time? There must be something fishy going on!"

Liu Jixian raised his thick eyebrows, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he lowered his voice and said, "I have sent people to keep an eye on the two of them."

Qu Lang nodded and said, "Don't alert the enemy."

At this moment, a Jinyifu guard dressed in the uniform of a hundred households came running over and said breathlessly, "Commander Qu, it's bad. Something happened in the Prince of Wei's mansion."

Qu Lang frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"King Wei... King Wei is missing." The Jinyifu guard paused, his eyes flickered, and he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Qu Lang pretended to be angry and said, "The Prince of Wei's mansion is heavily guarded by the Jinyifu lieutenants and strong men. How could the Prince of Wei escape?"

Although Jia Heng instructed Qu Lang to hold back the attack on Gao Zhongping's residence, he did not inform these low-ranking officers.

In other words, a loophole in the first line of defense was deliberately left.

At this time, another Jinyifu guard came from outside and said in a hurry: "Commander, the guard of Prince Liang's palace said that Prince Liang had disappeared before."

Qu Lang stared at Liu Jixian standing beside him, and caught some mysterious aura from his eyes. He whispered, "You stay here and watch. I will report to the prince."

The escape of the two kings of Wei and Liang from the capital was obviously a major event, and could be reported to the cabinet together with the case of the unrest among the students of the Imperial College.

Liu Jixian nodded, his eyes flickered, and he said in a gentle voice: "Control the Jinyi officers who were guarding the Wei and Liang mansions before."

The King of Wei and the King of Liang fled the capital, and someone must be held responsible for this.

The two deputy captains who guarded the two royal palaces became scapegoats.
