Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 376 Intention
After the attendant fetched the long and thin silver needle, his mood had completely calmed down.He felt that no matter what was written on the note inside the bamboo tube, he would not be flustered.Only then did he reach out and stretch the bamboo tube over the candle.

Watching the wax drop by drop on the bamboo tube, he wiped off the wax, inserted the long and thin silver needle into the bamboo tube, and picked out the thin strip of paper.

The words on the note are very small, not short in a row of small characters.

Fang Yan stared and looked carefully, the eyes that were like burning peach blossoms were full of shock at this moment.

What is this word?

He stared and looked carefully, but he didn't recognize the word, and he didn't know the word.

"Where did you hunt this peregrine falcon?" Fang Yan asked with a frown.

The entourage quickly bowed and replied: "In the suburbs of Beijing, the servant of General Gongsun's family hunted it. He said he was going to roast it and eat it, but he found this on his foot. The thin thread was so tightly entangled that it was difficult to remove it for a while. Forcibly removing it will leave any traces or destroy this thing, so even the peregrine falcon was brought into the palace to the prince."

"When the peregrine falcon was hunted, where did it fly?" Fang Yan asked again.

"I heard that General Gongsun's family member said that he was flying in the direction of the capital." The entourage replied quickly, with a look of gratitude on his face for his careful questioning.

Fang Yan's brows furrowed even tighter.

He looked down at the motionless peregrine falcon lying on the ground, his expression suddenly changed, "Dead?"

The follower was surprised.

Seeing that Fang Yan had already stepped forward in person, he reached out to touch the motionless peregrine falcon.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Fang Yan let out a long sigh of relief, and picked up Peregrine Falcon from the ground.

The attendant persuaded in a low voice: "My lord, the peregrine falcon was shot into the abdomen by an arrow, even if it survives for a while, it won't last long, and it is even more impossible to fly again. It is no different from being dead..."

"Go back to the house—" Fang Yan ordered immediately.

He looked around and handed the peregrine falcon to his followers.

The entourage was surprised, Fang Yan looked at him and said: "How did you bring it into the palace, and how to take it out, so that no one can find out that you have hidden it in your arms, and you must never let it die! Come back with me." House!"

Hearing this, the entourage carefully hid the peregrine falcon in his arms.It's just that at this time it's not as easy as when entering the palace. You only need to be careful not to be discovered when entering the palace. As for whether the peregrine falcon is dead or not, he doesn't take it into consideration. He just needs to send the bamboo tube to the prince. up.But now he had to be careful not to kill it, seeing that it might die at any moment.The follower suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

Fang Yan asked someone to report back to the Holy Majesty. He was going to take half a day off today and left the palace early. Before the person who was going to report back came back, he had already boarded the carriage from the palace and headed home.

The entourage carrying the peregrine falcon also had the opportunity to ride in the prince's carriage today, which is something he would never have thought about on weekdays, and it was really thanks to the peregrine falcon in his arms.

Fang Yan hurried back to the mansion, and went straight to the main courtyard with the dying peregrine falcon that was about to die at any moment.

Shen Xinniang was feeding Fang Li, humming a song softly.Fang Li kept his "food" in his small mouth, and closed his eyelids, as if he was about to fall asleep.

Fang Yan didn't wait for the little maids to ask An to close the curtain, then lifted the curtain cage by himself, and stepped into the main room.

"Xin'er—"

Shen Xinniang was about to gesture to him to shut up, but he couldn't wait to call out.

The little son in Shen Xinniang's arms immediately widened his eyes again, his round eyes whirled around, as if he was looking for his father.

Fang Yan grabbed the half-dead peregrine falcon and was about to step forward, Shen Xiniang quickly stopped, "What? Don't approach Li'er with messy things!"

The peregrine falcon looked really dirty and bloody.Fang Yan looked down at the peregrine falcon in his hand, and said anxiously: "Xin'er, I depend on you to save my life, come quickly."

Shen Xiniang was puzzled, seeing Fang Yan's anxious face, she had no choice but to hand the son in her arms to the nanny to hold.

She stepped forward to go outside with Fang Yan.

Seeing his father ignoring him and his mother leaving him to leave, the young master immediately opened his mouth and burst into tears.His cries were unmatched by ordinary children, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking.As he grew up, the crying became louder and louder.It seemed to prove his insurmountable position in the palace.

The nanny and maidservants felt headaches when they heard the crying.

Even Fang Yan sighed helplessly, looked at the half-dead peregrine falcon in his hand, and said hesitantly, "Why don't you coax your son first?"

But the anxiety on his face was shining brightly.

Shen Xinniang immediately stuffed the small clean and white bowl into Dan Xin's hand, "Hey Li'er drink."

Strange to say, just as Dan Xin scooped up a spoonful of white water and brought it to Fang Li's mouth, Fang Li's loud crying stopped abruptly.

This water is as easy to use as Shen Xiniang's embrace!

Shen Xinniang walked away quickly, and quickly left the main room with Fang Yan, and came to the small flower hall in the main courtyard, lest Fang Li would make trouble for them again.

"Found it?" Shen Xinniang asked while looking at the peregrine falcon in his hand.

Fang Yan nodded, "I'll talk to you later. Let's see if this bird can be saved. Not only must it be saved, but it must be alive and well. If you can't see the scars on your body, it's like you've never been hurt. Injuries are generally the best."

After Fang Yan finished speaking, he handed the peregrine falcon in his hand to Shen Xinniang, and walked out of the flower hall by himself.

"What are you doing?" Shen Xinniang took Peregrine Falcon and raised her head to ask.

Fang Yan stopped, but didn't look back, just smiled lightly, "I'll avoid it."

"No need..." Shen Xinniang said immediately, "We are so close now, what secrets can't be shared? How could I ask you to avoid it?"

Fang Yan shook his head persistently, "It's not that you want me to avoid it, it's just that now, with my identity, it's not time to throw everything away, and the treasure of Lingshan is not what I should look at."

After finishing speaking, he left the flower hall without looking back, and even closed the door of the flower hall.

Only one person and one bird were left in the flower hall.

Shen Xinniang sighed softly, she fits well with the Yin-Yang spring eye, she doesn't need him to avoid it at all, and she can draw out the spirit spring water without being noticed to heal the bird.But if he wants to, let him do it.

Shen Xinniang recited the heart formula, poured white spring water into the mouth of the peregrine falcon, and used the white spring water to clean the wound of the peregrine falcon injured by the arrow.

The wound on the peregrine falcon healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The bird, which was already lifeless, stood in front of Shen Xinniang in a moment of vigor.It's just that there are still some blood stains on its body, and its feathers are disheveled and embarrassed. Shen Xinniang draws out the black spring water to wash its hair.

The blood stain disappeared in an instant, and there was not even a trace of water left on its shiny and smooth feathers.

It's just that the peregrine falcon was not busy flying. After Shen Xinniang healed it, it seemed to recognize its master again. Its little furry head was pressed against Shen Xinniang's wrist, gently rubbing against her wrist.The pointed beak pressed against her wrist, intimately.

"Okay." Shen Xinniang called out the door, "My lord, please come in."

When Fang Yan opened the door and entered, he saw the peregrine falcon close to Shen Xiniang, its small head almost stuck into Shen Xiniang's sleeve, like a bird she raised since she was a child.

When Fang Yan approached, the bird suddenly spread its wings and flew up from Shen Xinniang's side, looking at Fang Yan with a defensive posture ready to attack at any time.

Fang Yan was very surprised, "Have you tamed this bird?"

Shen Xinniang was also a little surprised, "Come back."

Like the eagle, the peregrine falcon is a wild thing, and no one else can command it except the one who tames it.The peregrine falcon seemed to understand Shen Xinniang's words, and immediately flew back to Shen Xinniang's side. After circling twice above her head, it landed on her shoulder, holding its head high, quite majestic.

"It's really tamed by you!" Fang Yan nodded repeatedly, exclaiming in his mouth.

Shen Xinniang chuckled, "This is really a windfall, I just wanted to heal the injury."

Fang Yan nodded, knelt down opposite Shen Xiniang, and took out the thin bamboo tube and the small note hidden in the bamboo tube from his sleeve pocket.

Shen Xinniang took the note, twisted it open and read it carefully.After watching for a while, her eyes were still confused, she looked up at Fang Yan, "I, I don't understand..."

Fang Yan nodded, "I don't understand either."

Shen Xinniang pursed her lips, "Besides, this note has no header and no signature. It is certainly not the first time that both parties have exchanged letters in this way. They have no signatures and know each other. But we have no way of knowing."

Fang Yan raised his head, his eyes fell on the big bird standing on Shen Xinniang's shoulder.

Shen Xinniang nodded, "So you asked me to treat this peregrine falcon in such a hurry, because you wanted to use it to find the recipient?"

Fang Yan nodded, "The letter has not been delivered, and its wounds have been healed. Presumably, it will continue to fly to its destination. As long as it secretly follows the bird, although I don't know what is written in the letter, I can know what it is. Who is secretly cooperating with the enemy."

Shen Xinniang snorted, "But you have to figure out what the message is in this letter, right?"

Fang Yan nodded, "It's okay to look for the answer in detail later, and first know who is planning behind the scenes, so I can be prepared in my heart."

Shen Xinniang nodded, and asked someone to find a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, looked at Fang Yan and said, "If you copy this note, you will seal the original note back as it is. In this way, the recipient will not know that we have intercepted it." His secret message is to reverse the situation, so that the enemy is in the clear and we are in the dark, so it is easier to act!"

Fang Yan took the pen, and that was exactly what he meant, and he lowered his head to copy the completely incomprehensible handwriting on the small note.

But after he finished a sheet, Shen Xiniang took the paper and crumpled it into a ball, throwing it aside.

Fang Yan looked at her puzzled.

Shen Xinniang raised her eyes and smiled, "Copying, not copying."

Fang Yan frowned. The so-called copying naturally means not only copying the original characters from far away, but even the handwriting should be almost identical, and it should be almost exactly the same.

It's just to figure out what was written on the note and what it meant. There's no need to imitate the handwriting, right?

But Shen Xinniang was very serious on her face, as if she had some ulterior motive, she just pursed her lips and looked at him, "Your lord can't imitate it, can you? I heard that when he was in Lingshan, he was called a complete master by the disciples of the outer court." Cai, this majestic all-rounder, can't even copy a handwriting?"

Being despised in front of his own woman, can this be tolerated?
Naturally, Fang Yan couldn't bear it, although he didn't quite understand what Shen Xiniang wanted to do, but he was holding back his energy, he bowed his head, picked up the pen seriously, and drew stroke by stroke on the small note, barely seeing clearly, Even more indecipherable handwriting.

After finishing it over and over again, before Shen Xiniang could take it away, he looked dissatisfied, so he immediately kneaded it into a ball and threw it aside.When the tens of cards came, he let out a sigh of relief, "It's done."
