    ?

    At that time, before dawn, Jiang Yan turned over subconsciously, but her arm touched a piece of cold and empty bedding. When she opened her eyes dimly, the person beside her had long since disappeared.

    Rubbing his eyes and putting on his clothes, he pulled his shoes and opened the gauze curtain to look, only to see the candlestick in the wing room drained of tears, and in the dim candlelight, Fu Li had been groomed and dressed, with his back facing Jiang Yan wearing his wristband.  Until now, Jiang Yan suddenly realized that Fu Li's shoulders were much broader and stronger, and he was not as young and thin as the young man in his memory.

    It turns out that three years can really change everything.

    Hearing the movement behind him, Fu Li turned around while maintaining his wristbands, glanced at Jiang Yan, whose clothes were loose and her hair was loose, and a gentle smile flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Get dressed."  , Go back and sleep in the cage again. I need to go to the guard later to get some sleep, so I will take you home first."

    Jiang Yan lazily replied "OK", yawned and opened the window to look, the light in the morning was dim, the pavilions and pavilions on Zhuque Street were inlaid in a moist black and blue, the air was filled with the scent of grass and soil,  And the heavy rain that night has stopped.

    The street was quiet and empty, only a few early morning shops opened, steaming steamers and porridge water.  The two ate porridge and meat-stuffed biscuits in a shop facing the street, and it was already dusk when they returned to Chang'an Avenue.

    The two parted ways in front of the house door, Fu Li went back to the house and changed his official robes, then went east to the Fusi of Beizhen to practice arrests, while Jiang Yan went back to the house to catch up on returning to sleep.  Pushing open the courtyard door, Aunt Dou, the woman who is in charge of cleaning and cooking, is already busy. Jiang Yan really didn't wake up, and yawned to Fuli's woman, "Sister-in-law Dou, I have already eaten outside.  Don't make me breakfast."

    Aunt Dou hastily answered 'yes'.  Smelling the faint smell of alcohol on Jiang Yan's body, and the clothes she wore yesterday, the clever little woman asked, "Do you want to make a bowl of hangover soup for my little boss?"

    It's interesting to say that the husband of Mrs. Dou is Xiaowei Dou who is in charge of the miscellaneous affairs of Fu Li's house.  Little boss'.

    "Don't bother, I'll be fine when I sleep." Said, Jiang Yan stretched out her hand to push the door of the bedroom.

    Water was dripping in front of the steps, and the air was humid. Jiang Yan's fingers touched the door of the upper wing, and there was a sudden pause, keenly aware of something amiss.

    Every day when she went out, she would habitually close the door tightly, but today's dormitories were concealed, with a small gap open.  At that time, Jiang Yan didn't think too much, she just turned around and asked, "Sister-in-law Dou, have you cleaned my bedroom?"

    "No, Second Boss, I just came here this morning, and I haven't had time to clean it in the future. And when I enter your bedroom to clean up, don't you always ask for your permission first?" Mrs. Dou hung the washed clothes in a dry place under the eaves  , wiped his hands on the apron and asked, "Do you want to clean now?"

    Jiang Yan stood outside the door and looked at it for a while, then said: "No need."

    Pushing open the door, Xi Wei's morning light poured into the room, Jiang Yan slowly walked in the door, obviously there was no obvious change in the furnishings in the room, but she had an ominous omen for no reason, she always felt that something was different.

    This confusion reached its peak at the sight of two inconspicuous footprints on the floor tiles.

    Jiang Yan knelt down and reached out to touch the inconspicuous footprint on the floor tiles. There was slight dirt in the footprint, which should have been stepped in from the outside when it rained last night.  The footprints are very large, obviously not belonging to Mrs. Dou, but the feet of two men.

    The thief who broke into the empty door?

    No, it is impossible.

    This area of ??residence is adjacent to the Jinyi Guards, and most of them live in Jinyi Guards officials, so it is always safe, and no thief dares to come here to make trouble

    Ordinary people walk with heavy steps, and when they step on the ground, muddy water splashes along the soles of their shoes, but at this time the footprints on the ground are light and stable.  Jiang Yan looked forward, and her footprints extended until she stopped in front of her bed.

    All of a sudden, Jiang Yan broke out in a cold sweat.  She could even think of how this man of unknown origin climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard lightly, how he stepped on the muddy water to climb the stone steps, how he sneaked into the bedroom without a sound, and stood on her bed like a ghost amidst the lightning and thunder.  forward¡­¡­

    Perhaps, he still had a knife in his hand, and it happened that Jiang Yan escaped because he stayed out last night.

    Ever since the day he won the palace examination, Jiang Yan had guessed that today might come, but he never expected it to come so soon.

    After a brief shock, Jiang Yan lost all sleepiness.  After a while, she calmly wiped the cold sweat off her forehead, slowly got up and sat on the bed, concentrating on the countermeasures.

    It seems that the plan has to be advanced.

    Just as she was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door, awakening Jiang Yan's complicated thoughts.

    &nbsEver since he learned that Jiang Yan found the footprints of a strange man in the room when he came back that morning, Fu Li sent several capable subordinates to watch the movement outside Jiang Yan's courtyard day and night.  Even so, he was still worried and insisted on going to sleep with her personally every night.

    "It's okay, I can sleep peacefully just looking at you." Fu Li walked to the Jiang Yan case and stood still, picked up the list she had written, glanced at it, and said, "Are you planning to act on Xue Rui's matter?  "

    "Well." Jiang Yan said, "Ayu has woken up now, I don't want to delay too long. What's more, if you solve the hidden danger early, you don't have to come to me every day to stay up late."

    "It's not considered staying up late, it's sleeping with you." Fu Li put down the paper in his hand and said, "Even if you get an official position, you are only a seventh-rank editor. How can you fight against the Xue family? I'll leave this matter to me  "

    "Xunzi said: 'A gentleman's nature is not different, but he is good at things.' The Xue family has many enemies, and I don't need to do it myself. What I have to do is to lobby his enemies to form allies." Jiang Yan smiled  Interrupting Fu Li's words, he twirled the Yanghao brush between his fingers, and continued to raise the pen to moisten the ink, "What Mr. Fu has to do is to protect His Highness the Crown Prince. After all, if you want to move the Xue family, the Crown Prince will definitely be affected.  I don't want to bother him."

    "You want to take advantage of others?" Fu Li frowned, not at ease, "Where do you start?"

    "Jin Yiwei didn't dare to shake Xue's family openly, so I pointed the finger at him" As he spoke, Jiang Yan circled the name of 'Xuncheng Censor Sun' on the paper with a vermilion pen, and then said, "This person is corrupt  Accepting bribes, disregarding human life, although he is a low-ranking official, he has interests with many high-ranking officials in the court. As long as he falls, he can follow him to involve the old case of Dali Temple Minister retracting the Xue family's confession and Chuzhou smuggling salt.  Once destroyed, the case of Xue Rui cannot be hidden."

    "Anything involving the Xue family, there are scruples in the court." Fu Li said, "Who do you want to borrow to do this?"

    "The Commander of the Jinyiwei knows Meng Guide. It is said that Mr. Meng was expected to be promoted to the Commander of the Jinyiwei. Because the Dali Temple Minister repeatedly intercepted and suppressed him, he was unable to be promoted. The two families have deep suspicions, so it is most appropriate for him to investigate.  "Jiang Yan drew a circle on Meng Guide's name, put the pen to her chin and said slowly, "I remember, this Mrs. Meng's wife is my former classmate - Gu Zhenzhu. With her here, the matter  It will be easier."

    Fu Li leaned on the door and said, "You have a thorough understanding of the situation in the court."

    "Otherwise, do you really think that I've been idle and doing nothing these days?" Jiang Yan laughed, "If the Xue family didn't bully others too much, why would I bother to advance the plan."

    "Even if Master Meng brought down the Dali Temple, he is not qualified to touch the Xue family." Fu Li reminded, "On the contrary, you, the Xue family can find out that you are behind the scenes with a little effort."

    "Anyway, he wants to kill me now. Instead of sitting still and waiting for death, it's better to fight back." Jiang Yanyouyou put down her pen, stretched her sore waist and said, "Besides, as long as Dali Siqing is investigated, I will naturally have a way to draw the blame.  To Xue Rui."

    After hearing Jiang Yan's plan, Fu Li remained silent.

    It's not that he doesn't believe her, but that he doesn't trust her.  As a man, he very much hopes to protect his woman under his wings and prevent her from facing any wind and rain But at the same time, he also knows that his woman is not a weak and innocent grass, and he is never willing to be subdued by others.

    Herein lies the contradiction.

    After a long while, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down and changed the subject: "Wei Jinghong sent a letter from Feige, saying that he and Wu Mianxue will arrive at Yingtian Mansion within two days."

    Jiang Yan's eyes lit up when she was thinking, and she said, "Really? Axue is coming?" After a pause, she asked, "Could it be that these two are going to get married and come here to announce the good news?"

    "It's true that they want to get married, but it's not the two of them." Amid the flickering candlelight, Fu Li said quietly, "The crown prince proposes to marry General Wu's second daughter, Wu Suyue, and Wu Mianxue escorted her younger sister to Beijing to get married."
