The box that Boss Yan has been carrying around for many years is said to contain life-saving things.
Xiao Yinhan's people went there, and after opening it, they found a letter of appointment written by Lady Jade to appoint the new owner of the firm, and they thought it was all theirs.
But in fact, what is really important to Boss Yan and can save his life is another letter.
When he wanted to confess, the letter was delivered to Xiao Yinhan.
However, this letter was not addressed to him, but to the previous owner of Yan's Trading Company, Yan Canghai.
Yan Canghai, Boss Yan’s brother.
The yellowed letter was held in Xiao Yinhan's hand. It was obviously only a light letter, but for some reason it made him feel extra heavy.
Before he opened it, he had an ominous premonition in his heart - the contents of the letter might subvert his cognition and drag his life into the abyss.
If it were anyone else, he might hesitate, but he is Xiao Yinhan.
He never hesitates when he decides to do something.
So after a brief pause, he tore open the envelope.
Unexpectedly, I unfolded the letter and thought it was a long article, but in fact there were only two lines on it:
"On the seventh day of October,
Jingshui Tower.”
Seeing the words "October 7th", Xiao Yinhan's eyes flashed with pain.
But he quickly put it behind him and looked up coldly at the scarred old man on the ground:
"What's the meaning?"
Boss Yan was lying on the ground, with more air coming out and less air coming in. He had been pampered all year round, and even though An He had restrained himself a little, it almost killed him.
The reason why he is still alive now is simply because he does not want to die.
"Jingshui Tower..."
Boss Yan paused for a moment, looking like he was struggling just to speak: "Jingshui Tower was taken over from my brother's hospital bed together with Yan's Trading Company,"
"He said that if one day he receives a letter from the palace, the person who sent the letter must be rescued from the palace at any cost, even if it involves the entire Yan family."
Although he hadn't finished speaking yet, Xiao Yinhan had already guessed something, and his heart seemed to have been hit hard by a heavy hammer.
His thoughts were chaotic and complicated, and he relied on his strong willpower to force himself not to lose his composure.
"Only if he agrees to this request, he will give me the order of the head of the family and swear a heavy oath. If not, if not..."
Boss Yan spoke too many words at once and had to stop and take a breath before continuing: "If he hadn't been suddenly ill, then he should have received this letter in the end."
"Your Majesty?"
The gentle and worried voice woke Xiao Yinhan from his memories. He looked down at the girl in his arms who was looking at him with concern, and suddenly raised her chin and kissed her hard.
It was very powerful, with a vague sense of decisiveness that would tear everything apart.
Jiang Tang could hardly breathe and had to hold on to the man's strong arm to prevent it from going limp.
He kissed her like crazy, forcing her to cry, and he didn't stop.
Finally, when Jiang Tang thought she was going to die, the man finally let her go.
She looked at him aggrievedly, the base of her tongue hurt so much, her eyes were moist and aggrieved, as if she was silently coquettishly saying to him: "It hurts~"
Xiao Yinhan raised his hand and wiped the water marks from the corners of the girl's eyes with his fingertips. His eyes were so gentle that they were no longer like him.
He asked: "If one day I lose everything, will you still follow me?"
It sounded like a joke, but Jiang Tang keenly felt the seriousness hidden beneath the man's words.
He was seriously asking for her answer.
Jiang Tang blinked slightly. If she had said the same thing yesterday, she might have thought about it before answering.
But he asked it today, so of course the answer is...
Jiang Tang suddenly stretched out his hand and took the initiative to hug the man in front of him again. His eyes were gentle and firm, with the power to soothe all pain: "I will never leave. No matter whether the prince is poor or rich, sick or healthy, successful or frustrated, I will always
I will always love you, care about you, and be with you."
Xiao Yinhan had never heard such straightforward words of love. He was shocked to the point where his heart was beating wildly and his mind went blank. In his eyes, there was only the gentle smile of the girl smiling at him at the moment, and the intense heartbeat of "dong dong dong" that was noisy to his eardrums.
.
He couldn't describe the shock brought by these words in words. He only knew that since she said these words, she must do it!
Xiao Yinhan stretched out his hand and hugged the girl tightly into his arms. His slightly hot lips fell on the girl's soft white earlobe. His voice was indescribably low and hoarse. Even Jiang Tang, who was held by him, was forced to feel
When it came to his intense heartbeat at this moment:
"Remember what you are saying now. If you dare to violate it, I will not let you go even if you flee to the ends of the earth!"
The gentle smile on Jiang Tang's face was severely hit by his threatening words. He felt his scalp numb, and the little pride that had just risen was instantly shattered by him.
There was only one thought in her mind: If you can't speak, you can shut up! Stupid thing!
She was a little unhappy and wanted to break away from the man's arms, but when she moved, she was hugged tighter.
Jiang Tang pursed his lips and had no choice but to calm down and let the man hold him tightly.
"Your Majesty, what happened?"
When she asked this question, she clearly felt the man's body stiffen, and then he reached out and touched her head. His voice seemed to have calmed down: "It's not a big deal."
Does that mean something is wrong?
She wanted to ask again, but she heard the man's words behind her: "Some bad things may happen next, so don't worry about it."
Xiao Yinhan refused to say, but Jiang Tang did not continue to ask.
Whatever, as long as you can't die, you'll be crazy for more than a day or two anyway.
Xiao Yinhan didn't know that the girl was complaining about him so much. He just felt that she was so well-behaved that it made people feel distressed. He couldn't help but kiss her cheek again.
Don't tell me, Jiang Tang really feels that someone is becoming more and more clingy.
-
Eunuch Liu was waiting nervously at the door. The prince had just come back with a menacing look on his face, and it was obvious that something had happened.
I was originally worried that he would get angry and get involved, but after waiting for a long time, I didn't hear any noise from inside.
Later, the prince, who had regained his composure, came out, as if nothing had happened just now.
What he saw in his eyes was nothing but admiration:
"So it must be Master Tang, who can coax the angry tyrant with just a few words. What will happen if the palace loses her!"
It was just a silly compliment at first, but who would have thought that it would turn out to be a prophecy soon.
It wasn't until he lost Jiang Tang that Eunuch Liu realized how happy and relaxed his life was with her around!
Jiang Tang continued to dress up in the room, waiting for tonight's palace banquet. After Xiao Yinhan came out of the room, he went directly to the private treasury.
He was alone, and the guards were all standing outside. Even the loyal Eunuch Liu didn't know what the prince was going to do.
All I know is that after he came out of it, his whole aura became extremely deep, as if he was determined to do something treacherous.
-
The banquet was scheduled early in the morning, and all the invited ministers and clans must attend unless there are special reasons.
The fifth prince was looking forward to the palace banquet at first because he wanted to ruin Xiao Yinhan at the palace banquet.
But now...
"My prince won't go, won't go, won't go!"
The sound of cracking porcelain kept coming from the room. The servants waiting outside were all frightened, and several of them looked pale and seemed about to fall.
The fifth princess stood at the door, her expression equally bad.
"Your Majesty, the banquet is about to begin. If Your Highness doesn't come out, I'm afraid it will be delayed."
The housekeeper looked at the princess and urged, "Go in and persuade him."
The fifth prince's face turned pale, she didn't want to go in.
She pursed her lips and looked behind her, who was empty: "Where's Sister Xue? Why didn't she come?"
"Go back to the empress. The concubine said that the young master is unwell and she wants to stay and take care of him. She will not go to the palace banquet tonight."
"she!"
The face of the fifth prince's concubine became even uglier. Concubine Xue was the fifth prince's favorite concubine. She usually ran ahead of him when anything good happened. Now that he was angry, she stopped coming.
The housekeeper couldn't speak, so he could only lower his head: "Mother, please..."
"Wow--"
While talking, something was broken in the room.
The fifth princess glanced at the housekeeper and finally plucked up the courage to walk over: "Your Highness, the banquet is about to begin. If you don't leave, you will be late..."
"roll!"
The fifth prince roared, showing no mercy: "If you want to go, you can go by yourself, I won't go!"
It is said to be a palace banquet, but it is clearly a carnival for the victors and a lament for the losers.
Boss Yan's daughter was not captured, but his men were captured by Xiao Yinhan.
There is nothing to control him tonight, the position of prince...
"I won't go, I won't go, I won't go!"
The sound of breaking porcelain began to be heard in the room again, and the faces of the people standing outside became even more ugly...
-
At sunset, the ministers entered the venue one after another.
As a prince, Xiao Yinhan's carriage can go directly to the palace. This is a treatment that only the clan has. The other ministers can only walk in honestly.
They arrived neither too early nor too late, but there were already a lot of people at the banquet.
When Xiao Yinhan and Jiang Tang appeared, the banquet reached a small peak.
Many people gathered around him, familiar and unfamiliar, all surrounding Xiao Yinhan with warm and complimentary smiles.
Jiang Tang stood on the side, playing the role of a quiet vase, but her appearance was so grand that even the vase was the most beautiful and eye-catching vase in the room.
It makes people unable to take their eyes away after seeing it.
As usual, when faced with the compliments and overtures that gathered around him, His Highness Prince Rong still gave him a cold face, completely chilling him.
The way you just answer and ignore me makes you... deserve a beating.
Everyone: God is so damn annoying, why don’t you replace him with someone else? He has to be the one, right?
Xiao Yinhan left with Jiang Tang. The sixth prince looked around and suddenly said: "Third brother, I actually think you are pretty good. Among our brothers, you are the most low-key and easy to talk to. It would be great if it were you tonight."
"I think you want to die." The second prince complained expressionlessly, and the sixth prince changed his eyes: "Actually, second brother, you are not bad either."
Then the second prince gave him a blank stare.
While the sixth prince was laughing and joking with his brothers, the youngest prince next to him, the eleventh prince, said unconsciously: "So... is it really the fourth brother?"
When the sixth prince who was still joking heard this, he lowered his head and glanced at his younger brother beside him, pulled his lips and smiled: "Besides him, do you want anyone else?"
The eleventh prince fell silent.
After a while, he spoke softly: "No. That's fine. It doesn't matter if the dust settles earlier..."
What she said behind her was very quiet, and because there was a lot of noise nearby, not many people heard her.
"Tsk, how can a child still speak in such an old-fashioned way?"
The eleventh prince laughed, then reached out and patted the eleventh prince's shoulder.
At this moment, someone spoke up: "Is that Lao Wu? I thought he wouldn't come tonight..."
-
This was the third time Jiang Tang attended the palace banquet, and he was able to maintain a normal mind and pay attention to the banquet.
She actually cares more about what the men around her are thinking than the moving dance on stage.
Xiao Yinhan was very silent on the way here, and even more so after entering the palace.
Just now she saw that the expressions of the princes and ministers were almost angry with him.
Not long after the banquet started, the emperor began to raise his glass and toast, and the ministers stood up to congratulate him one by one.
Jiang Tang stood up after Xiao Yinhan, but found that the man's eyes were looking at the opposite side, and his eyes were extremely cold.
She looked along and recognized the fifth prince and his princess sitting opposite.
"Everyone, please sit down."
Following the emperor's words from the main seat, everyone sat down one by one, and Jiang Tang naturally followed suit.
After the singing and dancing, young officials competed in writing poems.
Tonight's topic is "Flowers", and the young officials are swaying their pens one by one, vying for novelty and beauty.
Jiang Tang has no talent or interest in poetry.
When the paper and pen were delivered, she did not touch them.
The same goes for Xiao Yinhan beside her, but compared to her relaxed and carefree expression, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was waiting for something.
"Your Majesty, do you want to go over and join the others?"
Hearing Jiang Tang's words, Xiao Yinhan glanced at the lively scene opposite. The new champion wrote a good poem and was praised by the emperor. It seemed that the leader tonight was about to be decided.
Several princes also came up to talk to their father. His father looked at him frequently, as if he wanted him to come up too.
Xiao Yinhan looked away, pretending not to see it: "I won't go."
It would be a disappointment if he went.
Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his lips and smiled: "Let them enjoy such a happy moment more."
"Um?"
Jiang Tang looked at him, but he was just drinking wine and had no intention of explaining.
"Now I announce that the leader of tonight's poems..."
Sure enough, tonight's winner is the new top pick. Winning the top spot also means that he has once again received the emperor's attention.
The poetry competition is over, and it’s time for the singing and dancing to continue, just when everyone thinks so.
Jiang Tang heard a word in his ear: "Here he comes."
Her heart skipped a beat, and just when she was about to ask Xiao Yinhan, "What's going on?", she saw the man beside her casually throwing the wine glass on the table, then stood up directly, and said in a loud voice: "Father, tonight the flowers are full and the moon is full, and all the ministers are gathered together."
At that time, Erchen boldly prepared a gift for you, I hope you like it."
In a word, the banquet was quiet for a moment.
Emperor Huaiwen, who was sitting on the main seat, said with great interest: "Oh? What gift?"
Others also whispered, and some even said: "Is King Rong finally enlightened? Does he know how to show his favor to the emperor?"
Only Jiang Tang looked at the cold smile on the man's lips and had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Someone, bring it up."
As he finished speaking, a familiar figure was brought into the hall.
Oh haha~
The corner of Jiang Tang's mouth twitched. He really wanted to seek death...
