As one of the commanders of the Imperial Guards of the Empress, Gu Beiyan was not afraid of Gao Rong, but the Qin Dynasty honored him with military achievements, so she still clasped her fists and saluted. But she was wondering in her heart, why did Gao Rong come?

The next moment, she knew that Gao Rong was not here for her. This little man Tu, who was no less than two meters tall, walked straight to the opposite side of Jiang Fan. He touched the ground with his broad sword and made a clanging sound, causing the bluestone floor tiles to break into pieces.

He didn't speak, his black cloak moved automatically without wind, as if a dark cloud was rising, and a pair of icy pupils behind Chi You's mask stared at Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan said nothing and smiled. After a while, he looked at Gu Beiyan and pointed at the ground: "He broke it, do you want compensation?"

Gu Beiyan said nothing, but slowly took a step closer to Jiang Fan.

She felt murderous intent in Xiao Rentu, cold murderous intent.

At the same time, some people noticed the changes here and stopped to watch.

"Why are you here!" Villain Tu's voice was a little weird, making it seem like he was speaking in a deliberately lowered voice.

Jiang Fan actually made a face at him: "I won't tell you, I won't tell you..."

He was almost as rogue as a child. Gu Beiyan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Gao Rong's broad sword slowly rose, and Gu Beiyan raised his hand directly: "General Gao, Young Master Jiang is your Majesty's distinguished guest."

Gao Rong didn't look at her, but still stared at Jiang Fan. After a while, he suddenly turned around and strode away.

Jiang Fan's scoundrel voice came from behind: "Let's just say it first, this was definitely broken by him and has nothing to do with me..."

Lunch is also very simple: a bowl of boiled mutton, a plate of green vegetables, a fruit, and a pot of roasted knives. This is Jiang Fan's portion for one person.

Jiang Fan stretched his neck and took a look at Gu Beiyan's lunch, which consisted of four pancakes, a large bowl of vegetable soup, and a large piece of steamed meat.

"The appetite is really big...but we treat them differently," Jiang Fan touched his chin, "Yanzi, come and eat together."

Gu Beiyan sat down at the bottom, engrossed in eating.

"There is a difference between superiority and inferiority, the young master can use it for his own purposes."

Seeing that she refused, Jiang Fan did not force her, and poured the wine for himself. While he was drinking, the curtain suddenly opened and the empress walked in.

"Oh, Your Majesty, have you eaten? Otherwise..."

The empress came straight up and sat opposite Jiang Fan. She reached out and picked up a pair of chopsticks and started eating by herself.

"... Let's eat something together..." Jiang Fan shook his head and laughed, then he also buried his head in eating.

As everyone knows

, Gu Beiyan was shocked in his heart. The empress always ate alone, and even if she entertained the officials, no one could come within three feet of her. This was the rule even in the court. So much so that if someone approached the imperial steps in the court

It was a great blessing to speak before. So far, Gu Beiyan only knows Gao Qi, Meng Ao, Xu Fu and Li Xiu.

That day when Jiang Fan was in a coma, the empress was in front of his bed almost every day for two hours, which surprised her. She didn't expect that after Jiang Fan recovered, the two of them would still be like this.

The empress did not speak and ate a lot in silence. Jiang Fan slowly poured her a glass of wine: "Are you worried?"

The empress raised her head and looked at him: "How was your shopping today?"

"Haha, you already know it. It's okay. The Great Qin Zhengyang Palace is really impressive. In the afternoon, I plan to go see that Xu Fu..."

"Not today!"

Unexpectedly, the empress refused directly, and Jiang Fan was a little confused.

"Don't ask why, it just won't work." The empress didn't give him a chance to speak.

Jiang Fan could only shake his head.

"You don't like Xu Fu?"

The empress suddenly spoke, "Jiang Fan's behavior was not normal yesterday. They met for the first time, and they had nothing to do with each other, but she keenly sensed Jiang Fan's repulsion in his bones."

Jiang Fan looked at her and smiled: "Don't ask why, if you don't like it, you just don't like it."

He completely copied the empress's tone. Gu Beiyan's hand shook and he almost dropped his chopsticks.

The empress also frowned, surprisingly not angry, and did not continue the topic.

"What are your plans for tomorrow?"

"Let's go around Yangducheng, I have to find a place to live."

Gu Beiyan was stunned, but the empress didn't seem surprised.

"Tell me if you see it."

Jiang Fan nodded: "Let's eat. It seems that you have a lot of things to do in the afternoon. I will read some books to kill time today."

Naturally, there was not enough food for the two of them, so Jiang Fan snatched two cooking cakes from Gu Beiyan and gave one to the empress. The latter did not refuse and ate with gusto.

Gu Beiyan suddenly felt that the atmosphere was very strange, but also very wonderful...

The empress came back very late and did not go directly to her bedroom. Instead, she came to Jiang Fan's room, who was reading a volume of Qin History with gusto.

When he saw the empress coming, he just took a tea cup and gave the empress a cup of tea, and then he went to study by himself.

The empress sat behind the long desk and reviewed the memorial

fold.

No one spoke, except for the occasional sound of Jiang Fan drinking tea and the rustle of the Empress writing her pen.

Gu Beiyan stood aside, always feeling that the events of the past two days had subverted his cognition, that everything... was not normal...

Until the middle of the night, Jiang Fan nodded his head a few times and snored slightly from his nose.

"Help him go to rest." The empress said without raising her head.

"According to the order." As soon as Gu Beiyan stepped forward, the empress said while reviewing the memorial: "Your performance today is acceptable, but not enough. If anyone threatens Jiang Fan, they can be punished!"

Gu Beiyan was shocked. The empress knew what happened today, but she did not hide it at all. He was Gao Qi's eldest son, Tu Gaorong, a villain with great military exploits. But she knew that the empress's words were the will and could not be doubted.

"Your Majesty... I obey your order!"

"Very different!" Jiang Fan sighed sincerely.

Yangdu, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, is different from other places Jiang Fan has seen. The streets are horizontal and vertical, and the buildings are mostly brick and wood structures. They are simple and neat, but also prioritized and full of variety. The overall color is simple and dark.

Not so many colorful colors.

Although Yangdu is no less prosperous than any other capital city, it is still well-ordered and pedestrians, carriages and horses also go their own way.

Walking on the street, looking at the street buildings of the ancient capital, following various pedestrians, and listening to the street hawkers, Jiang Fan had an unreal feeling of traveling through thousands of years.

The two of them walked around all morning, and then, under the guidance of a tooth man, they went around to look at the houses.

"Do you really want to move out?"

Gu Beiyan was very puzzled.

Jiang Fan smiled: "Of course, what else would I do to look around the house?"

"There are many houses in the palace..."

Jiang Fan waved his hand: "It's different, you don't understand. Just think that I don't want to always have a soft meal..."

Eating soft food? Gu Beiyan has never heard of this word. Jiang Fan's explanation is that he lives by relying on women.

But Gu Beiyan didn't think there must be a special reason for Jiang Fan's thinking.

Soon, Yaren introduced them to a very large house, which only cost 500 taels.

The reason why it is so cheap is that the owner of this compound rebelled and was executed. Since then, it has been regarded by many people as a haunted house and an ominous place. Therefore, it has not been sold even though it was reduced to 500 taels.

Jiang Fan didn't care about that. He saw that although the house was old and overgrown, it could be tidied up and it was definitely a good place to live.
