"Shuiqin, Xinlan wants you to go to her room." Zhang Guimei was upstairs and shouted to Shuiqin who was drinking with her downstairs.

The news that Xu Yan went to Xin Lan's room just now has spread in Yue Qingzhu. Now it will be interesting for Xin Lan to let Shui Qin go to her room.

The prostitutes started discussing.

"Is that young master so strong? Isn't one Xinlan enough?"

"I don't think so. There must be something wrong. Don't smear the reputation of my goddess. She only belongs to me and will not betray me!"

"Wake up, don't mention it, housewife, thank you!"

"What are you robbing? What are you robbing? Do people like you bunch of chickens and dogs? Miss Xinlan only cares about talented people like me!"

Shui Qin and her guest confessed their crimes, asked other sisters to take their place, and then left.

Xu Qian'an was also drinking alone at this time. Hearing Zhang Guimei's words, he felt a little wild for a while.

"What are you doing in there? Miss Xinlan has already succumbed to his lust, right? Hey, he even goes to brothel girls without fear of getting sick. He has no moral integrity." As he said this, Xu Qianan suddenly felt

The wine in my mouth is a little sour.

"Zhang Lao Bustard, why is your wine so sour? Hurry up and change it for me! Otherwise, I won't give you any money!"

"Okay!"

Zhang Guimei reluctantly went to help Xu Qianan change the wine.

In Xin Lan's room, Xu Yan was sitting at the table, drinking wine, and Xin Lan was accompanying him to pour the wine.

Xu Yan didn't say anything, and Xin Lan didn't dare to speak.

She originally had a task to do today, but she was called back by Zhang Guimei just after leaving for a while, saying that someone from Prince An's Mansion was here. Now she is still blocked here by Xu Yan, it seems that the task cannot be completed.

When he first entered the house, Xu Yan noticed that Xin Lan had just come back and had not been in the house before. This could be guessed from the muddy black shoes under her bed.

At the same time, if Xu Qingyao assigned her a task, there would be no need for her to be so nervous, and Madam Zhang would not have to hide it for her.

Then, there is only one possibility left: Emperor Shunxing asked her to do something.

Xu Yan looked at Xin Lan, who looked depressed, and smiled secretly. We only have time, so there is no rush. I want to see what you, the Mission: Impossible, want to do.

There was a knock on the door, and Shui Qin said outside: "Sister Xinlan, can I come in?"

"Come in!"

It was not Xinlan who spoke, but Xu Yan.

Shuiqin was confused, so he opened the door and walked in.

Xinlan was afraid that Shui Qin would say the wrong thing and make Xu Yan unhappy, so she told Shui Qin first, "Shui Qin, this is Prince Zhuang Xun."

Shui Qin was nervous and quickly knelt down to salute.

Women in brothels are of low status, and when they see a superior being like the feudal lord, they will usually kneel down and salute. However, the interesting thing is that Xu Qianan does not seem to receive such treatment in the brothel. Ordinary women will look askance at him.<

/p>

"Get up, let me ask you, how is your relationship with Lin Yushu?"

Shui Qin's eyes widened and she didn't know how to answer. She looked at Xin Lan quietly and found that the other person had his head lowered.

"If I ask you to say it, just say it! It's easy to kill a scoundrel in the capital!"

Shui Qin was frightened by Xu Yan and knelt down again.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Mr. Lin often comes to Yue Qing to drink. I know him, but I am not familiar with him!"

"Are you really not familiar with it?"

Xu Yan's eyes at this moment seemed to be cannibalistic, and Shuiqin was so frightened that his whole body trembled.

Gritting his teeth, with tears in his eyes, he replied: "Not familiar!"

"Okay, I admire you for being such a loyal woman."

With that said, Xu Yan stood up and took out a dagger from the bed in the bedroom while the two of them were looking at him.

Xinlan didn’t care, she just knelt down in respect.

Xinlan has always had a habit in the book of carrying a dagger while sleeping.

This habit should be related to what happened to her when she was a child.

Now Xu Yan was in a hurry to use it, so he just took it without thinking too much.

Xu Yan threw the dagger in front of Shui Qin and said with a cold face: "Qingliu's reputation is the most important thing. You should know your own identity. If you really like him, don't cause him trouble and solve it yourself!"
p>

Xin Lan really can't understand Xu Yan's operation. Aren't he and the Lin family hostile? Why are you still thinking about Lin Yushu's reputation now?

Shui Qin looked at the dagger in front of her with trepidation, unable to turn around.

From the moment Lin Yushu expressed his feelings to her, Shui Qin had thought that she couldn't enter the Lin family because of her status, and she wasn't even qualified to be a concubine.

She just wanted to obey her heart and stay with Lin Yushu for a while. She thought that after Lin Yushu got tired of it, they would separate. After all, men are the same. In this way, having a comfortable relationship would be considered a life worth living.
p>

But no one told her that she would die if she did this!

I took the dagger tremblingly, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't take it off. My hand slipped, and the dagger fell to the ground.

"Your Highness, I don't want to die!"

I cried so hard.

Xu Yan smiled knowingly: "That's right. It's not a wise move to throw away your life for others."

Then, Xu Yan pretended to be gentle and helped Shui Qin up. As for Xin Lan beside him, Xu Yan didn't even look at her.

"Girls in Dayu are inherently difficult. They are no better than men. Everything is bound by rules. And you are from a brothel, so even being a concubine will be looked down upon."

"However, I admire you very much for your courage to love and hate. As a friend of Lin Yushu, I am very happy that he can have a confidante like you."

If you want to make someone willing to help you, you must first break her spirit, and then pull her back from the brink of collapse at the right time.

"I can give you a good life, remove your low status, and allow you to marry Lin Yushu in all glory. Are you willing?"

Shui Qin's eyes were still filled with tears, and her face was full of shock.

From hell to heaven, just one sentence from Xu Yan can determine Shui Qin's life or death. This is mental suppression, burying a seed of fear and awe in Shui Qin's heart.

"Your Highness, is this really okay, this slave?" There was expectation in the eyes, but more of doubt.

"Yes, but whether you are a wife or a concubine depends on your own abilities."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shui Qin suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Yan.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, I have conditions."

Most of the joy on Shuiqin's face disappeared, and he asked tentatively: "What do you want, Your Highness? I will do whatever I can do!"

Xu Yan seemed to be deep in thought and waited for a while before speaking.

"It's not a big deal. You just need to take good care of Lin Yushu. He failed the imperial examination for several years and his life was not satisfactory. After Yushu's parents see your excellence, Gu will help you to intercede and everything will fall into place. You,

Can it be done?"

Shui Qin thought she heard wrongly, but she didn't expect that what Xu Yan asked her to do was so simple, and she couldn't help but feel touched.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely take good care of Yulang!"

Xu Yan helped Shui Qin up again and said with a smile: "Yu Shu wants to save face. Don't mention what Gu and you said in front of him, and don't say that you have met Gu. Otherwise, given his temperament, there may be resentment."

!"

Shui Qin nodded deeply.

That's right, first dispel Shui Qin's doubts and let her fully believe that what she said is true. If she is used to deal with the Lin family in the future, she should not be too perfect, Jie Jie Jie Jie!

Ahem, Gu is not a villain!

After Shui Qin left, Xu Yan looked at Xin Lan.

He said calmly: "Miss Xinlan, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Xinlan was silent and took out the dagger from her bed. How to explain this? To be honest, does anyone believe it?

"Don't tell me? Haha, people in your profession are really tough-talking."

"Your Highness, this slave has had a habit since she was a child of carrying a dagger with her before falling asleep!" Xin Lan still told her little secret.

"Are you sure you're not preparing to deal with Gu Yongqiang in advance? Even gentlemen are guarded against you, and you women are all the same!"

"..."

"Your Highness, Xinlan, Prince Wang is here!"

At this time, Zhang Guimei's voice came from outside the door.

"Who is Prince Wang?"

Xu Yan asked curiously.

Xinlan explained: "The prince is the son of the Wang family in Qizhou, and he is also... also the admirer of the slave."

"Qizhou Wang family?"

Isn’t that the natal family of my dead mother?

Since the death of Xu Yan's mother, the Wang family in Qizhou still cared about Xu Yan very much, and would send him some gifts every year and festival. However, Qizhou and Shangjing were thousands of miles apart, and it took a month to get back and forth, so there was no contact.

That’s a lot.

Xu Yan became interested.
