Chapter 418 Why are you so worried at such a young age?
Xiao Tong has been cautious in these years. There are no courtiers who are openly close to him in the court. As long as they don't take his life, it will only be some suffering for him.
According to Jin Yan's understanding, these pains are commonplace and happen frequently.
Rumors about the deposed prince would appear in the court every once in a while, and then disappear quietly after a while, and so on.
The reason why Xiao Tong is so calm may be because he is used to it.
"See your Majesty the Imperial Master, Your Highness the Princess, please come in!"
The biting wind penetrated into the cloak everywhere. Jinyan took a breath of cold air and walked towards the deserted stairs.
The shopkeeper of Zuixian Tower now treats Jin Yan as a guest. He goes upstairs via a special ladder and renovates a wing specifically for her, which is not open to the public.
It all happened because a lot of Mingyue Tower's business was given to Zuixian Tower through Jin Yan's help.
Mingyue Tower does everything on the surface, but the business it attracts from major restaurants and shops in the capital will inevitably arouse public outrage. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhu Jinke found some famous shops to cooperate with.
For example, the dishes are completed in cooperation with Zuixianlou. Simple dishes are trained by Zuixianlou and go to work in Mingyuelou. Complex dishes are provided directly by Zuixianlou. In just a few months, Mingyuelou has become the largest restaurant in Zuixianlou. Income.
Naturally, the shopkeeper wanted to entertain Jin Yan well.
"The fish that Your Highness wants to eat has been prepared. The bamboo shoots were dug in the mountains early in the morning and some white radish was added. Please wait a moment."
He came to entertain him personally, saluted Wen Yan, then turned and left.
Not even a boy dared to stay at the door of the room. Jin Yan asked Gan Ge to guard her. When she pushed the door in, a warm breeze blew in, and her face instantly felt warm.
She took off her cloak and put it on the chair. She reached out to the fire and toasted it, and the color returned to her white hands.
"Why is it so cold this year?"
Jin Yan muttered, then turned to look at Wen Yan, "Isn't it cold?"
After pouring a cup of hot tea for her and delivering it to her, Jin Yan reached out to take it, took a peck, and held the tea cup in a daze, "Has the prince expected what happened this time?"
Wen Yan stretched out his hand and put it on her face. He let go when he saw that her little face had warmed up. "I expected it, but it's probably more difficult than I thought."
"You are tied to the prince because..."
Jin Yan raised her head suddenly, her eyes filled with shock.
He was tied to the prince, not necessarily to let him support the prince, but to take this opportunity to get rid of him?
Wen Yan's face was pale, his dark eyes opened, and he smiled lightly, "What the emperor fears most is that someone knows his thoughts, and if he can't sit still, he must take measures."
The light from the fire reflected on his bright white face, and his words came out so calmly.
Jin Yan's heart tightened.
She had to admit that if it only involved Xiao Tong, it wouldn't matter to her, but if it was related to Wen Yan, she wouldn't be willing to do anything even if it was uncontrollable.
The frown deepened, and Jin Yan froze for a long time.
Until there was a knock on the door, a pot of fish in a stone pot was brought up. This pot was made of a special stone and had excellent heat preservation properties. Even though there was no fire underneath, the soup inside was still boiling.
The two boys carefully put down the stone pot without looking sideways, and the shopkeeper personally brought a few side dishes over.
He bowed his hands to the two masters inside, and then closed the door quietly.
The room fell silent again.
Jin Yan felt something strange on the top of her head. When she looked up, she saw Wen Yan rubbing her head, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so worried at such a young age?"
"Aren't you worried about you?"
Jin Yan replied subconsciously.
Wen Yan paused, then turned his hand to her face and pinched it, "Don't worry, the prince will avoid the sharp edge, so King Rong and King Yi will be eager to prove themselves. It may not be a bad thing for them to fight for it."
"That said, but..."
"I'm alone. He won't do anything excessive to me. Besides, mysterious things never make sense. I am from Buzhoushan after all. If he really wants to do something, he should think about it."
People are always full of fear of the unknown. The emperor has seen his ability to make Xiao Tong's broken body healthy, predict every disaster, and even help him detect people with different intentions at a glance...
All of this has already been deeply imprinted on his heart, making him afraid to challenge it.
Otherwise, he should have taken action long ago when he was forced to extend his life or even change the fate of the country.
Jin Yan pursed her lips, took two steps forward, raised her little head and looked at him, "I don't care what others do to you, if you dare to get into trouble, I don't know what you can do."
Her eyes were shining, and for the first time, the paranoia inside was exposed to him without any cover.
Wen Yan had never seen such a side of Jin Yan, domineering, stubborn, and even unspeakably weird.
But after a moment, she returned to normal, tilting her head and smiling obediently, "Let's eat."
It seemed as if the moment just now was just his hallucination, but he knew very well that it was not an hallucination.
Looking at her turned back, Wen Yan's lips moved, but he didn't know what to say.
"what happened?"
Jin Yan asked calmly.
He calmed down and sat down next to her.
She put the milky white fish soup aside. When she took a sip, she felt a cold and hot surprise that broke through the ice. The familiar taste was something she had missed all year long.
My mood was brightened in an instant, and I decided to let go of those bad things for the time being.
While Wen Yan was eating, his eyes glanced at her face intentionally or unintentionally.
Jin Yan put her elbows on the table and looked at him with a smile, a wicked smile in her eyes.
"Is this dish not delicious? Do you always watch what I do?"
Wen Yan was stunned for a moment, "Nothing."
"Master, do you want to drink?"
she asked again.
Wen Yan paused and quickly shook his head, "I won't drink."
The serious Wen Yan is really boring. He hasn't kissed himself for a long time these days.
Even if he occasionally moved people away, he would not kiss himself when there were only two of them in the study.
"Aren't you happy?"
He sighed unconsciously, and the people on the side hurriedly asked, with concerned eyes and clear concern on their faces.
Thinking of this, Jin Yan sighed heavily again.
That look was so aggrieved in Wen Yan's eyes!
