Chapter 10 There must be other plans
Yan Xu'an's face was gloomy, and he just walked to the bed and sat down. He stretched out his hand and without any words, grabbed her arm forcefully and savagely dragged her back to her original position.

Qin Shuangjiang gritted her teeth tightly to prevent the frightened scream from spilling out of her throat. Looking at his fierce look, the moment she slammed into his arms, she subconsciously resisted like a frightened bird.

He held her arm slightly harder: "Don't move."

The rough hands squeezed her slender arms painfully, and Qin Shuangjiang took a breath of cold air. Her bones seemed to be broken by him. In an instant, she didn't dare to struggle any more and leaned in his arms obediently.

The next moment, he put his fingers together and touched her neck. The cold touch from the soft fingertips made Qin Shuangjiang unable to stop trembling slightly, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart, as if someone had blocked his lifeblood.

But after waiting for a moment, the other party made no next move. Qin Shuangjiang was confused and cautiously raised her head to look at him. Her soft and innocent eyes slammed into his gloomy and hard eyes, and she was troubled again.

Yan Xu'an didn't say anything. Seeing that her mood was slightly calmer, the two fingers placed on her pulse moved slightly, and a stream of warmth flowed in. As if all the strength in his body was drained out in an instant, Qin Shuangjiang could only lean on him weakly. body.

After a while, he withdrew his fingers with a cold expression. The moment his fingers left her neck, Qin Shuangjiang felt all the strength in his body return.

He released the hand holding Qin Shuangjiang's arm, and Qin Shuangjiang reluctantly stood up from his arms and pulled a little distance away from him. Seeing his increasingly gloomy expression, she sat on the bed with her eyes lowered and did not dare to speak.

The room became eerily quiet again, and you could almost hear the sound of charcoal burning all around.

After a long time, Yan Xu'an slowly said: "Where is the mother worm?"

Qin Shuangjiang was slightly startled and looked up in disbelief. The mother worm of the Chidan Gu molecule is also called the twin voodoo. The mother worm can control the daughter worms. In the same way, a person who takes the daughter worms can also be controlled by the person who owns the mother worms. Only by killing the mother worm can the daughter worms be removed.

Qin Shuang fell silent and lowered her eyes again. This time, she did not hide it, but told him directly: "It's in Qin Tianyou's hands."

I thought he would be furious, but after waiting for a while, Yan Xu'an just asked in a calm tone: "If you give the thing to Zhao Ziyu, he will give you the antidote?"

At this moment, Qin Shuangjiang was sure that he really knew everything, but she didn't understand why he asked this question, so she just nodded like a ghost.

As soon as the words fell, the room returned to an eerie silence. The sunlight outside filtered in through the window and fell on the table in front of the window. The winter sun was always not warm.

After a long silence, Yan Xu'an stood up and left. He simply said, "Get ready to take over Feng Yan." Then he walked away.

Qin Shuangjiang stared blankly at his back as he walked out of the Fragrance Hall. He didn't understand what he meant for a moment. He couldn't possibly abandon his own safety just for her words that he didn't know whether they were true or false.

Although she has never been involved in officialdom, she also knows how dirty and sinister the prosperity wrapped up in this prosperous age is inside. His ability to get to where he is today definitely does not depend entirely on luck.

For the sake of a picked-up woman, for the sake of physical love, he would personally destroy his grand ambition and hegemony. A person like him would not be that stupid.

Therefore, he must have other plans...

On the day of Zhao Ziyu's reception banquet, all the dignitaries from the entire Eastern Capital came and chose the most magnificent and most heavily guarded palace in the entire Eastern Capital: Forbidden Garden.

When Qin Shuangjiang and Yan Xu'an arrived, most of the people who came to attend the banquet were almost there.

Outside the garden gate, Bai Kou helped Qin Shuang get off the carriage. As soon as he stood still, he looked up and saw another carriage slowly stopping at the gate of the garden. There was a golden sign hanging on the carriage with the word "Kang" written on it. .

King Kang of Daqi State, Zhao Huaian.Almost at the same time that Qin Shuangjian stepped out of the carriage, on the opposite side of the carriage, a man helped the woman in the carriage out of the carriage and carefully arranged her skirt.

The woman has a beautiful face and three-dimensional facial features, especially her eyes, which are bright, clean and beautiful, like a pure pool unpolluted by the world. Her every smile exudes a ladylike temperament, making people unable to look away.

She should be the princess of Zhao Huaian, the eldest lady of the Duke of Qin, and the most beautiful woman in Daqi, Qin Zhiyun.

As if feeling Qin Shuangjiang's gaze, Qin Zhiyun, who was talking to Zhao Huaian, looked back and met Qin Shuangjiang's plain eyes. Although she didn't know him, but out of politeness, she nodded slightly to Qin Shuangjiang.

Qin Shuangjiang didn't react at all, she just lowered her eyes silently. When Yan Xu'an appeared beside her at some point and gently held her hand, she came back to her senses.

Turning around, the two looked at each other. Yan Xu'an glanced in the direction of Zhao Huaian before looking away. There was rarely a sincere smile on his face, but it was only for Qin Shuangjiang.

He held her hand and walked into the garden. The banquet had not yet begun. As soon as the two of them reached the door, the lively laughter and conversation in the hall suddenly stopped. It seemed that they saw some living Shura. As silent as a cicada.

However, Yan Xu'an didn't take it seriously, or in other words, he was already used to the feeling of being so cold at a high place, so he only focused his attention on Zhao Ziheng who was in the main seat.

Qin Shuangjiang stood behind Yan Xu'an and couldn't help but look at the person on the high platform. He was wearing a black python robe and a black crown with long hair standing up. He was tall and looked at Yan Xu'an with disdain from the corners of his slightly raised eyes. Concealed disdain and contempt.

The four eyes met, and there were clearly no words yet, but there was an inexplicable feeling of tension, and the atmosphere at the scene instantly became a little stiffer.

It is said that when the late emperor was still alive, he was vaguely aware of Zhao Ziyu's ambitions in the first few years after he ascended the throne, so the late emperor relieved him of his military power and drove him to Huangsha City, which was a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from the eastern capital.

Being able to come back now is the result of the efforts of Qin Tianyou, Qin Guogong and many important ministers. Moreover, the late emperor passed away. After all, Zhao Ziyu was also a minister's younger brother, so he should come back to have a look.

After letting the atmosphere on the court freeze for a few seconds, Yan Xu'an just smiled lightly and said, "Today is Prince Jing'an's reception banquet. You can drink and talk freely, but not on business."

After his words fell, there was silence for a few seconds, and then the atmosphere on the field eased, but it was still far different from what it was like when the two came in.

Zhao Ziyu took the initiative to stand up and greet him, with a smile on his face: "I have heard about the reputation of the Prime Minister for a long time. When I saw him today, he was really well-deserved. He was young and promising. No wonder my brother, the emperor, thought so highly of the Prime Minister until his death, but he didn't let him take it wrong."

As he spoke, he had already sat down and stood in front of Yan Xu'an. His words seemed to be complimentary, but his tone was slightly cold.

Yan Xu'an curled his lips, with a faint smile on his face and eyes. His tone was calm, as if he couldn't hear the sarcasm in his words: "Your Highness, thank you very much. Serving Daqi is the duty of a minor minister. No, Dare to neglect."

As he spoke, he lowered his eyebrows and nodded in a seemingly humble manner, but there was a hint of arrogance in his tone, a perfunctory tone as if it didn't matter.

Zhao Ziyu said nothing, the smile on his face did not diminish by half, but the wariness and coldness in his eyes became more intense. After a moment of silence, he turned his eyes and landed on Qin Shuangjiang, who was standing behind Yan Xu'an.

Their eyes met, Qin Shuangjiang lowered her eyes slightly, and naturally avoided his gaze. However, Zhao Ziyu had no intention of giving up. With an unconcealed scrutiny in his eyes, he wandered over her body for a long time before he casually said: "Hey , is this the beauty that the prime minister just acquired? It’s really beautiful.”

Perhaps it was the frivolity in his words that made Yan Xu'an's originally smiling face slowly darken a bit.

He lowered his eyes, glanced at Zhao Ziyu, whose eyes were fixed on Qin Shuangjiang, and then turned to look at Qin Shuangjiang. He turned back and chuckled: "It's better to be a new person than to have the old person. The old person is with you, so in my heart It’s better to be more practical after all.”
