The whole family was wiped out?The treacherous minister turned around and cooed at me

Chapter 8 Prove that I don’t have bad intentions

That kind of Gu insect was about to wake up, and it would squirm from time to time, which would make her feel the stinging sensation of being bitten into her flesh and bones, reminding her all the time that she didn't have much time left.

"Miss?"

Hearing Bai Kou's voice, Qin Shuangjiang suddenly came back to his senses. When he raised his eyes, he saw that she had knelt down in front of Qin Shuangjiang at some point.

Bai Kou looked at her and frowned uneasily. Qin Shuangjiang was a little confused when she continued: "Miss, what's wrong with you? You look so bad. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Seeing her nervous and concerned look, Qin Shuangjiang's heart moved slightly, but in the end he just smiled with relief and then shook his head.

There were still two days before Zhao Ziyu's reception banquet. Just when Qin Shuangjiang was thinking about what reason to use to ask Yan Xu'an to take her there, he took the initiative to ask Zhuling to bring clothes, saying they were for the reception banquet.

Bai Kou didn't notice anything unusual. He just thought that Yan Xu'an liked Qin Shuangjiang and wanted Qin Shuangjiang to show his face in front of the ministers, so he thanked him and accepted it happily.

But Qin Shuangjiang knew that this was definitely not the case. Although she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she had no name or status after all. In what capacity would he take her there?

What's more, it's impossible for him not to know the relationship between Qin Tianyou and Zhao Ziyu, otherwise, he wouldn't have wiped out the entire Qin family before Zhao Ziyu returned to the Eastern Capital.

And she, Qin Shuangjiang, was the person Qin Tianyou designated to give to Zhao Ziyu. Even Yan Xu'an wouldn't believe it if she didn't know the inside story.

But in this case, he still wanted to take her there, which meant that he should be suspecting something, or he already knew it.

Thinking about it, she suddenly felt a sinister gaze, and when she raised her eyes, she met Zhuling's deep eyes.

When their eyes met, the maid had already put away her clothes and left the room. The room was surprisingly quiet. Zhuling looked calm and looked away silently. She only said: "My lord has chosen this personally. Miss, please try it first. If If it doesn’t fit, you can change it.”

Qin Shuangjiang nodded and nodded slightly: "Okay, thank you."

Zhuling didn't say anything else, just gave her a meaningful look, turned around and left.

Zhuling clearly didn't say anything, but she seemed to have said everything. Perhaps it was Zhuling's look in her eyes, or perhaps Yan Xu'an suddenly decided to take her to pick up Feng Yan, which made Qin Shuangjiang feel uneasy.

It was getting late, and it rarely snowed today. A cold wind blew outside, and the charcoal fire was burning brightly in the house. Qin Shuangjiang pinched the embroidery needle in his hand, feeling restless.

After a long silence, when she got up and walked out of the inner room, Bai Kou was leaning aside, staring at her toes in a daze.

"Bai Kou." Qin Shuangjiang called, and Bai Kou hurriedly responded and came to her senses. After a moment's hesitation, Qin Shuangjiang asked: "Is your Excellency back?"

Since Zhao Ziyu returned to the Eastern Capital, Yan Xu'an has become even busier. He usually leaves early and comes back late. Sometimes he even comes back early the next morning. In the past few days, Qin Shuangjiang has only been able to see him a handful of times. .

Bai Kou thought for a moment and nodded: "I'm back. I'm probably in the bedroom now. I've been busy with Feng Yan recently. I guess I have to go to the palace tomorrow morning. What's wrong, Miss?"

"..." Qin Shuang lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and then asked: "Go to the kitchen and get a bowl of ginseng soup."

Upon hearing this, Bai Kou immediately understood what Qin Shuangjiang meant, nodded obediently in response, and then turned around to do the work.

When Qin Shuangjiang took Bai Kou to the Yixiang Palace, the sky had darkened. The lights were on in the palace, and it seemed that they were still busy.

She stood outside the temple, calmed down a little, and then raised her hand to knock on the door. But as soon as she raised her hand, before she could touch the door, the door was suddenly opened.

Qin Shuangjiang was stunned. Before he could retract his hand, he raised his eyes and looked at the person who came out. It was a completely unfamiliar face.

The man was dressed in a gray-white tunic, with a handsome face and a jade crown for his hair. He looked about the same height as Yan Xu'an. He turned his eyes slightly and frowned the moment his eyes fell on her, his eyes cold and quick. Scanned her body.As if aware of the other party's inexplicable hostility, Qin Shuang lowered his eyes and stepped aside to let the other party go first. The other party was not polite and walked away directly.

It wasn't until he walked a certain distance that Qin Shuangjiang raised his eyes and looked over. Bai Kou stepped forward and explained softly: "That man's name is Yu Hansheng. We all call him Mr. Yu Yu. I heard that he has been following him since a long time ago." He is someone whom you respect very much, but he has a bad temper. Miss, let’s not offend him easily.”

Looking at the figure who was gradually walking away, Qin Shuangjiang's eyes darkened slightly. This man looked like a gangster. At first glance, he was not an official of the central government, but he should have a good background.

After listening to Bai Kou's words, Qin Shuangjiang didn't say anything. He just nodded slightly, took the ginseng soup from Bai Kou's hand, and walked into the bedroom.

inside the room.

Yan Xuan sat at the table, holding a book in one hand and resting his hand lightly on the table. His fingers tapped the table rhythmically, feeling comfortable. The candlelight on the table swayed, reflecting on his perfect profile.

Qin Shuangjiang was holding the ginseng soup in his hand and realized the problem almost immediately. As he thought about it, his steps could not help but slow down.

Logically speaking, he would go to the palace early tomorrow morning to deal with matters. Even if he didn't fall asleep now, he would still be getting ready for bed. He definitely shouldn't be reading in his clothes.

Even though Yu Hansheng had just left, the tea on the table had been changed by the maid when she came in just now. It was obvious that he had no intention of falling asleep yet.

Plus he looked so comfortable, it was obvious that he was still waiting for someone. When Qin Shuangjiang deliberately slowed down, he noticed it but didn't say anything. Therefore, the person he was waiting for was probably Qin Shuangjiang. Frost.

He knew she was coming, and maybe even knew why she was coming.

Thinking of this, Qin Shuangjiang's heart sank slightly, but until now, she could only bite the bullet, lowered her eyes, walked up to him as if nothing had happened, and greeted him slightly: "My lord."

He tapped his finger on the table. Qin Shuangjiang walked up to him and sat down. He skillfully filled a bowl of soup and placed it in front of him.

Yan Xu'an raised his eyes and his eyes fell on Qin Shuangjiang's face. Qin Shuangjiang had an indifferent expression on his face and looked in a good mood. He didn't speak, but stared at her with faint eyes.

Putting down the soup ladle in his hand, Qin Shuangjiang seemed to notice Yan Xu'an's gaze. He raised his eyes, seemingly unprepared, and ran into the other person's cold eyes that seemed to have seen through everything.

She was stunned for a moment, and the smile on her face disappeared. She was like a child who knew that she had made the other person unhappy, but didn't know where she was wrong. Her eyes were confused, frightened and uneasy.

After a brief silence, Qin Shuangjiang took the initiative to speak: "Sir, this ginseng soup is soothing to the nerves."

After saying that, Yan Xu'an didn't react at all, but looked at her with deep eyes, as if he wanted to stare a hole into her.

After hesitating for a long time, Qin Shuangjiang didn't say anything. He reached out and took the ginseng soup in front of him, pretending to drink it to prove that he had no bad intentions.

Yan Xu'an suddenly stretched out his hand and held her wrist. Qin Shuangjiang was slightly startled. He was pulled forward a little by his sudden strength, and his other hand subconsciously pressed against the edge of the table to stabilize himself.

She looked up at him in confusion, only to see him put down the book in his hand, take the bowl in her hand again, drink the ginseng soup in one gulp, and then put the bowl in his hand carelessly with no expression on his face. Throwing it aside, he released his grip on her wrist.

She rubbed her sore wrist with some grievance, then put away the bowl on the table, without asking anything, just left with the empty bowl.

But before he took two steps, Yan Xu'an stood up suddenly behind him. Qin Shuangjiang felt his arms tighten. The moment he was forced to turn around, the bowl and tray in his hand were swept to the ground.

Along with the crackling sound, Qin Shuangjiang was dragged and staggered. When she looked back in fear and confusion, she was caught off guard by Yan Xu's condescending gaze. Her heart sank slightly, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously.
