MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 64 Jifu
Next to the official road outside the main gate of Zhaoren County, Xishan, stood a tall and straight young man and an old man with healthy bones.
The mountain wind was a little strong, and the withered and yellow forest leaves fell like rain, making it even more desolate.
At this time, Xie Changyuan's state of mind.
Xie Changyuan had been staring at Master Yishan's expression all the time, so he listened to every word of Master's muttering.
Xie Changyuan frowned, what is it, this story, just heard of it?
Yi Shan glanced at Xie Chang Yuan with a hint of pity in his eyes.
Xie Changyuan didn't know why.
Yishan let out a long sigh and said:
"you…"
"Hey, I can't explain in a few sentences, let's advance to the Prince's Mansion."
------
Imperial City, Shou'an Palace, Dongnuan Pavilion of the main hall.
Empress Dowager Xiao sat on a soft couch covered with a thick embroidered cushion, and a pair of well-maintained hands stroked a lazy cat with pure white fur that was wrapped around her lap.
A **** came in bowed,
"The queen mother, the prince is here."
When the voice fell, the prince Feng Zhan, dressed in a black robe, stepped into the main hall. The chief **** of Shou'an Palace, Xia Ying, turned around and opened the curtain of the warm pavilion for the prince.
Feng Zhan stepped into the warm pavilion and nodded to the Queen Mother Xiao who was sitting on the couch.
"Grandmother."
Empress Dowager Xiao raised her eyes, but not at the prince, but at the chief **** Xia Ying two steps behind him.
"Take the cat out, the prince doesn't like it."
"The servant obeys." Xia Ying bowed and walked to the Empress Dowager Xiao's side, but the cat that the Empress Dowager handed him backed out. When passing the Prince, Xia Ying covered the white cat with her sleeves, and then quickly walked out of the warm pavilion.
Mrs. Xiao picked up the tea cup at hand, sniffed lightly, and said leisurely:
"Well, the third prince Feng Yi has filial piety. It's hard for him to find this year's mother tree Dahongpao for the palace."
Feng Zhanjian frowned slightly.
If it is said that Empress Dowager Xiao ordered the cat to be sent out of the warm pavilion because the prince did not like cats, it was because he valued the prince.
Then, since the prince entered the warm pavilion, the Queen Mother Xiao did not order anyone to watch the seat, then...the prince was going to be beaten.
After a while, Feng Zhan's thin lips lifted slightly, and he said coldly:
"What's the matter with the royal grandmother?"
Empress Dowager Xiao put down the tea cup and looked at Feng Zhan, the noble and awe-inspiring prince who was standing in the warm pavilion.
"How long has it been since the prince came to my Shou'an Palace?"
In Feng Zhan's eyes, there was no wave in the ancient well, his expression was as usual, and he did not speak.
There is a su in the back.
Prince, is more and more thoughtful.
When Mrs. Xiao spoke again, her tone was not very good.
"In today's peaceful and prosperous world, the Crown Princess, the future lord of the Middle Palace, cannot be a woman who is well versed in tricks and tactics, and at the same time comes from a family of military merit."
"Prince, Qin Yan is not suitable for you, nor is it suitable for today's Daxia."
As soon as these words came out, Prince Feng Zhan and Empress Dowager Xiao both looked directly at each other, and the atmosphere in the warm pavilion suddenly became tense.
After a while, Feng Zhan opened his mouth with a cold tone:
"If the grandmother has nothing else to do, I will retire first."
After speaking, Feng Zhan immediately turned around and strode away.
------
Empress Dowager Xiao looked at the resolute back of Prince Feng Zhan when he left, her eyes were full of chills.
Prince, the wings are hard, and it is not easy to control.
The chief **** Xia Ying bowed in and put the white cat back next to the Queen Mother Xiao.
Empress Dowager Xiao picked up the cat and commanded in a low voice:
"From tomorrow onwards, the concubine and the princes and princesses will be restored to the morning and evening of the Shou'an Palace. Let the second prince and the third prince go to Shou'an Palace every day to read the scriptures for the palace."
"Yes, the queen mother." Xia Ying was slightly surprised.
Since the Queen Mother returned to power in the Holy Sage, the Queen Mother's Shou'an Palace has not seen guests for a long time.
The queen mother is... going to get involved in politics again?
And the second prince, the third prince...
The prince?
------
As soon as Feng Zhan came out of Shou'an Palace, Song Zhi came over a few steps.
"His Royal Highness, Duke Duan, King Yizhou, Marquis of Guannei and Heping Nanbo are all at Qianqingmen, saying that they want to see His Royal Highness the Prince."
Feng Zhan raised his eyes,
"Tell them to enter the palace tomorrow."
Song Zhi asked the prince for instructions:
"Your Highness, are you going back to the Prince's Mansion now?"
Feng Zhan stared silently for a moment,
"Go to Kunning Palace."
------
Prince's Mansion, Cangtai Waterside Pavilion.
Yishan sat opposite Xie Changyuan on the tea table.
Yishan brewed tea with his hands and muttered in his mouth:
"Hey, I just forgot to try the tea made by Xiaoyanyan. Yanyan's tea ceremony is out of blue. Forget it, wait for her to calm down before going over."
Xie Changyuan had a lot of thoughts, and when he heard the words, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Yishan.
Yishan caught Xie Changyuan's eyes and glanced at Xie Changyuan who was not looking very well. He continued to move his hands and explained:
"Xiao Yanyan is the old man's close disciple, but I'm talking about Qin Yan, the master of Zhaoren County, not the Ayan in your house. Your Ayan has nothing to do with the old man."
Xie Changyuan had already heard others say it in the hall just now, but at this moment, when Yishan told the truth, his heart was shaken again.
Xie Changyuan lowered his eyes sadly,
The water in the pot was beginning to boil, and in the quiet waterside pavilion, Xie Changyuan's voice overcame the sound of the rising water and reached Yishan's ears.
"Master, who is the person mentioned in my mother's letter?"
Yishan took the cup's hand for a while, looked up at the stubborn young man opposite, and sighed.
"The past is over, don't pursue it any more."
Xie Changyuan asked:
"Did that person abandon my mother and marry someone else..." Yi Shan said, interrupting in a cold voice.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Yishan put down the tea cup and sighed again in his heart.
"That person never knew your mother's mind."
Xie Changyuan was shocked.
Yishan shook his head and continued to warm the cup.
------
Xie Chang Yuan's heart went from shock at the beginning, to understanding, and then to sorrow.
So... is it actually a unilateral obsession of the mother?
The mother runs her own family, but there is another man in her heart, another man who does not belong to the mother.
The perfect family of three I once thought was so ironic.
Xie An has his room in his heart, and his other son, even his mother has another person in his heart.
I once resented that Xie An had deceived my mother and myself, but it turned out...
Mother, is also deceiving them...
Xie Chang Yuan buried his face in his palms, his tall body trembling slightly.
It turned out, only myself, is a joke.
------
Not long after, Yi Shan made tea and pushed a cup to Xie Chang Yuan.
"That A Yan, you should clear your relationship with her as soon as possible."
Xie Chang Yuan slowly raised his head to look at Yi Shan, at this moment his eyes were slightly red, but he was suspicious of what Yi Shan said.
Then, Xie Changyuan's eyes showed pain, his brows furrowed, and he bowed his head again and said nothing.
Yishan seemed to have guessed something and asked:
"You're with her..." But how could Yishan ask the same junior?
Xie Changyuan still lowered his head, his voice was dull:
"She has lost her life to me, and the saint has given her a marriage to my side room." After listening carefully, Xie Changyuan's voice trembled slightly, as if he was powerless, and he seemed to be suffering great pain.
Relic Mountains…
With a sigh, Yi Shan spoke again:
"It's not easy to come to a conclusion on this matter, it depends on your good fortune."
------
Yishan took a sip of clear tea and nodded in appreciation, the prince here is full of good tea.
"By the way, Zhang Yuan, just now you said that three years ago, you were rescued by A Yan on Meishan Mountain in the snowy sky?"
Xie Changyuan has calmed down a little at this moment, slowly raised his head, took the tea cup in front of him, and drank it up, the tea soup did not stay in his mouth, and he was not in the mood to drink tea.
At this moment, he even hoped that this tea was just bitter tea, which could cover the bitterness in his heart.
Xie Chang Yuan put down the tea cup, and then answered Yi Shan's question.
"Yes."
At this moment, Yi Shan had already made a conclusion in his heart. He didn't know whether to continue talking or not. What kind of shock would his words cause to the young man in front of him.
"Zhang Yuan, are you sure you can see the face of the woman who saved you, is she really A Yan?"
Xie Changyuan raised his eyes suspiciously.
"Master, what do you mean by this?"
General Yishan was in the flower hall of Zhaoren County's main mansion just now, and listened to Qin Yan's recitation of the situation.
Yishan was convinced that Qin Yan did not need to make up a lie to deceive him. What Qin Yan cares about is not who she saved at all, she only cares about the painting she disappeared.
Xie Changyuan heard the words, his eyes widened, and his expression changed dramatically.
Yishan sighed again when he saw Xie Changyuan's expression.
There should be something wrong, the child of Chang Yuan must have admitted the wrong person and made a sin...
------
Xie Changyuan tried his best to calm down the tremor in his heart at this moment. The vague memories of three years ago in Meishan began to flash in his mind slowly.
Three years ago, he went to Meishan Mountain and struggled to find his way according to the clues given by the sage. Under the heavy snow, the road was extremely difficult to identify. He lost his way halfway up the mountain, and after wandering around for a while, he suddenly found that he could not see.
He stepped on the air and fell into a snowdrift, and was rescued by a woman who took him to Wanxuezhai with half support and half drag.
After the woman placed him, she went out alone.
About an hour later, Xie Chang Yuan did not wait for the woman to return, and was a little worried about whether something had happened to her.
Xie Chang Yuan touched the door and was about to call the girl. He slipped his foot under the corridor and fell into the snow in the courtyard.
At this moment, the girl came back, hurried over, and helped Xie Changyuan up.
and many more…
Xie Changyuan's eyes changed.
After the girl rescued him on the mountainside, she dragged him forward with ease.
But later in the yard, when the girl helped him again, it was especially difficult.
Before, he didn't think much, and now...
Qin Yan is very skilled, while A Yan is too petite to lift...
Xie Chang Yuan frowned, closed his eyes, and continued to recall.
The girl took care of him for three days. During the three days in Wanxuezhai, he only heard the girl's voice, but did not see her face. Her voice was cute and lively.
Three days later, Xie Changyuan recovered his eyesight, and saw the girl with surprise and warmth in her eyes at first sight, it was A Yan...
Now that I think about it, the woman who rescued him on the mountainside only said a word.
"what's wrong with you?"
Xie Changyuan's consciousness was a little blurry at that time, but he could still tell that the voice was a little cold.
Xie Changyuan smiled bitterly.
That one was actually Qin Yan.
It turned out that he actually admitted the wrong person?
The one who saved his life was his once justifiable fiancee?
Is it his fiancee who repented of his marriage?
Is it the former fiancee who is now a stranger to him?
Qin Yan, does she know? Did she know that she had saved her life?
Xie Changyuan looked up at Yishan.
Yishan seemed to have guessed what he was going to say, and interrupted in a hurry:
"Yanyan doesn't know that she saved you."
"I advise you best not to tell her."
Yishan paused for a moment, then said:
"One more thing."
"Yanyan said that she picked up people in Meishan, and after taking them to Wanxuezhai, she went out to Qiansongya to collect revival grass."
"But as soon as Yanyan was about to go down the cliff, the snow bed on the cliff shook and fell down due to the cry of a little girl in the distance."
Xie Changyuan couldn't hide the shock and heartache at the moment. He wanted to know what Qin Yan would encounter next, otherwise Qin Yan would not have come back during his days in Wanxuezhai.
Yishan continued:
"Yanyan was knocked off the cliff by the snow bed and fell into the cold pool at the bottom of the cliff."
"Since that time, Yan Yan has suffered from chills."
Yishan once again emphasized to Xie Changyuan:
"Yanyan and the people from the Zhenguo Gongfu seem to have a grudge against Yanyan's falling off a cliff in Meishan."
"I advise you not to let her know that the person she saved is you."
"I'm afraid, the culprit that caused her to fall off the cliff is the Ayan in your house."
"Yanyan is an evil spirit, she has to take it seriously, your entire Yongding Hou Mansion is not enough for her to demolish."
"You do it yourself."
-------
After Yishan left, Xie Changyuan sat in the waterside for a long time.
He seemed to have all his strength taken away, leaving only a body.
Today, everything he learned, one by one, about his mother, about A Yan, about... Qin Yan...
It was a heavy hammer, one after another, smashing his new house and shattering his soul.
Xie Chang Yuan raised his head sadly and looked south.
After the plum forest, it used to be the southern part of the Xishan Palace, which is now the main residence of Zhaoren County.
Xie Changyuan took a deep breath, got up, exited the water pavilion, and walked towards Merlin.
Walking to the edge of Merlin, two black-clothed guards jumped out quickly, blocking Xie Changyuan's path.
"Xie Shizi, don't step into this place." Anwei said coldly.
Xie Changyuan did not go any further, but still looked in the direction of Merlin.
There is not even a complete wall between the Prince's Mansion and the Zhaoren County Main Mansion. Are they so familiar with each other?
The Prince and Qin Yan...
Qin Yan…
Are you still able to...
Xie Changyuan closed his eyes, a sharp pain occurred in his chest, Xie Changyuan clenched his chest tightly, leaned forward suddenly, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
It's still early autumn, and there are still no plum blossoms in the plum forest, but a little bright red in the woodland.
Xie Changyuan turned around and walked out step by step, but his steps were not too steady.
------
Outside the gate of Zhaoren County's main mansion, Xie Changyuan looked pale and said to the guard:
"Xie Changyuan, please see Zhaoren County Master."
"Please wait." A guard entered the mansion.
After a while, the guards came out:
"Master has no guests today."
Xie Changyuan heard the words, but took a step forward and was stopped by the guard.
"Xie Shizi, it doesn't look good here."
Xie Changyuan's eyes were painful, he glanced at the mansion gate again, and then turned around.
Xie Changyuan jumped on the horse's back and galloped towards the upper capital.
------
Xie Changyuan hurried back to Yongding Hou's mansion and strode straight to A Yan's yard.
Everyone in the mansion saw that the prince seemed to have bloodthirsty killing intent, and Lord Hou had just been sent back from the Imperial Hospital, and everyone wondered if something major had happened.
But Xie Changyuan didn't look for A Yan in the mansion.
"Where is she?" Xie Chang Yuan asked sharply.
On weekdays, Nuonuo, the little maid who follows A Yan, said:
"Ah, Miss Ayan left the house alone. She came back and hurriedly packed up a few paintings, and left with them."
Xie Changyuan's pupils shrank and ran away?
Xie Changyuan stepped out of the courtyard and explained coldly to Li Zhong, who was there:
"Uncle Li, immediately go to the western suburbs and buy a house next to the main mansion of Zhaoren County. No matter the size, the closer it is to the main mansion of the county, the better."
"Even if you go to the cashier to get the money, I will move there tomorrow."
Li Zhong paused, the prince is... figured it out?
But...will it be too late...
------
Imperial City, Kunning Palace.
As soon as Prince Feng Zhan arrived at the palace gate, a woman in plain robes came out from the opposite side.
Feng Zhan dismounted, and the woman saluted the crown prince,
"The woman has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
She is the wife of the left minister Wang Xian, and also the aunt of Feng Zhan, Mrs. Wang.
Feng Zhan nodded and stepped into Kunning Palace.
The queen just finished talking with Mrs. Wang, and was a little tired. Just about to take a break, the outside world reported,
"His Royal Highness is here."
A bright color flashed across the queen's eyes, and she regained her spirits.
"Prince."
"Mother."
The two took their seats separately, but they did not gossip, and Feng Zhan went straight to the theme:
"The queen mother didn't have to go back to the palace to make a trip to the muddy waters."
------
The queen looked worried:
"The prince did not follow the Queen Mother Xiao's wishes today, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will make some moves."
Feng Zhan said quietly:
"Even if everything goes according to the Queen Mother's wishes, she still moves a lot."
The queen frowned, a little puzzled.
Feng Zhan looked at the queen and said sternly:
"Since the mother has returned to the palace, there are some things that must be kept in mind."
"Qiu Nie was assassinated. I found some clues. The Queen Mother Xiao of Shou'an Palace may have a foot in it."
The queen was shocked.
Feng Zhan continued:
"But whether Empress Dowager Xiao's people will assassinate the father and the emperor, or assassinate the ministers, or kill Qin Yan, what's more, we are all her targets, so we don't know."
The queen was shocked and lost her words.
Feng Zhan said again:
"The queen mother changed the people of Kunning Palace, up and down?"
The queen calmed down and spoke slowly:
"You can't hide it from the prince."
Feng Zhan sighed,
"Empress mother, are you not going to tell my son that the miscarriage of Concubine Xian in the mother's harem had something to do with the queen mother Xiao?"
The queen looked at the prince in surprise, who seemed to be sure of the matter.
Prince, he actually knew...
No wonder, no wonder today the prince is to the queen mother...
Feng Zhan slowed down his tone.
"The queen mother didn't say anything and went to Dajue Temple alone for so many years. Is it because she was embarrassed by the empress mother and the queen mother Xiao?"
The queen has understood this matter, and the prince must have checked all those things. Now, she has nothing to hide:
"Empress Dowager Xiao's power in the palace is intertwined, and each palace has her eyeliner, which is hard to prevent."
"Empress Dowager Xiao saved my womb, but ordered someone to treat the concubine Xian's opponent in my palace, causing me injustice. I don't know whether to thank her or hate her."
"After Concubine Xian's accident, the Queen Mother came over and left a message."
Having said this, the queen smiled wryly,
"The Queen Mother Xiao said that there are some things that should not be thought about and should not be investigated."
"The queen mother said that the Zuo Xiangfu can't have a queen who gave birth to a prince and a concubine who is about to give birth to an emperor at the same time. Concubine Xian's children cannot be kept."
"Yeah, why don't I know this. It's just that your uncle and grandfather are too greedy."
"Your uncle came to the palace to persuade me that the son of Concubine Xian will be the help of the prince."
"Oh, the brothers and sisters in the royal family are helpers or enemies, who can say for sure."
"They just planted more chess pieces for the glory of Zuoxiang's mansion for their own selfishness. But they completely ignored the prince and me, and the Yun Dynasty in my belly at that time."
------
The prince has already checked all of these matters, and today he just made a statement with the queen, so that she can have no worries.
"The queen mother took Yun Chao to Dajue Temple in the past few days, and I want to leave Beijing for a while."
To what the prince said, the queen didn't ask any more questions, she just said ok.
------
The queen suddenly thought of something and asked Xiang Feng Zhan:
"What's the prince's plan for Qin Yan?"
It seems that when Feng Zhan heard Qin Yan's name, he changed his coldness, and there was an untraceable light in his eyes.
"I have ordered the Shaofu Supervisor to prepare the prince's wedding dress. The prince's auspicious clothes are Qin Yan's size."
The queen knew that the prince acted decisively, but she did not expect to act so quickly.
"Qin Yan, she agreed?" The queen still had a little doubt.
Feng Zhan didn't answer, but his expression darkened slightly.
The queen sighed, that is, she did not agree.
She knew how Qin Yan would agree to marry into the royal family so easily.
The Shen family are all hard bones. Shen Shiying was one of them back then, and so was Shen Shiyan.
If it wasn't for Shen Shiyan's quick marriage with Fang Su, his childhood sweetheart, then Empress Dowager Xiao would have let Princess Shen Shiyan become the princess.
Others don't know, but the Queen can see clearly that Anyang has a different idea for Shen Shiyan, the prince of the Duke's Mansion.
Creation tricks people.
The Queen glanced at Feng Zhan with a confused expression.
"Qin Yan didn't agree. Where did you get her size?"
Feng Zhan touched the empress' slightly joking look, and there was some unnatural embarrassment on his face.
However, Feng Zhan's reddish ears did not escape the eyes of the queen, a mother.
The queen chuckled, her always strong son, this time she finally met someone who could control him.
The author says:
How did His Royal Highness know the size of Yan Yan...
