Chapter 7 Return (III)

Late at night, Eunuch Li came to Xiao Jingyan and bowed, "Your Majesty, Lord Yan wants to see you."

"Pass it on." Xiao Jingyan said without hesitation.

The man had been dead for three months. For Xiao Jingyan, he could already focus on state affairs, but he couldn't help tossing and turning at night.

After a while, Lord Yan led a man in white to the hall with Eunuch Li.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Lord Yan said to the man in white.

"No need to be polite." Xiao Jingyan didn't have time to look up, just responded casually. But as soon as he looked up, he was stunned.

"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for half a year. How are you?" The man in white said with a slightly joking tone, but it was respectful.

"Mr. Lin, long time no see."

"It's not long, just half a year." Lin Chen said casually.

Xiao Jingyan sighed, "Yes, it's only been half a year."

Lin Chen pretended to ignore Xiao Jingyan's expression, smiled at Yan Hou, and bowed, "Lord Yan Hou, I asked you to help, and you have done it. It's getting late, please go back."

This Yan Hou is such a smart man, he naturally understands that Lin Chen wants to talk to Xiao Jingyan alone, and it is not convenient for outsiders to disturb him. So he smiled calmly and bowed to Jingyan, "I'll take my leave."

Jingyan was not a stupid person, so he did not stop Yan Hou from leaving, and took the opportunity to send Eunuch Li away, asking him to send Yan Hou to the palace gate and light the way for him.

Watching the two leave, Xiao Jingyan walked up to Lin Chen, "What's the matter, just say it." Lin Chen looked relaxed and fanned himself, "Do you have any snacks?" Xiao Jingyan's heart was lifted by his disturbance, and he didn't know whether he was annoyed or amused. He immediately took two plates of snacks from the table and handed them to Lin Chen. Lin Chen was not polite and ate them up in a whirlwind. "Mr. Lin asked Lord Yan to take you to the palace in the middle of the night, not just for two plates of snacks, right?" Xiao Jingyan wondered if something happened to the Jiangzuo League and needed his help. But looking at Lin Chen's eating, it didn't seem like a headache. Just when Xiao Jingyan was still puzzled, Lin Chen had burped three times, and finally drank a bowl of tea to suppress it. "Your Majesty, I came here today because someone asked me to." Lin Chen wiped his mouth and said slowly. Xiao Jingyan was stunned again, clenched his fists, and listened to Lin Chen finish his words.

"Well, originally, he was going to write a letter, but his limbs can't move, and he didn't want me to pass the message, so he asked me to help him invite His Majesty to meet at Liuzhi Garden outside the city three days later." Lin Chen walked to Xiao Jingyan and whispered, then smiled mysteriously.

At this time, Xiao Jingyan had already frowned, looking at Lin Chen, unable to speak.

Lin Chen looked at Xiao Jingyan's surprised look and suddenly felt funny, but was embarrassed to laugh in front of him, so he walked and laughed secretly, "With my Master Lin here, this man will not die so easily!" In one sentence, there was three parts of pride and seven parts of frivolity.

Xiao Jingyan's face finally turned a little red, and he was very excited. He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lin Chen, "Ask him yourself," and then he walked to the door of the hall, "By the way, take Tingsheng with you." After that, he turned and left, and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared.
