The guard general was scolded by Lou Yan and was stunned for a long time without saying anything.
He couldn't talk to Lou Yan, so he simply ignored Lou Yan and turned to look at Xiao Chengye: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince did do something wrong before, but he has sincerely regretted it now. He really can't die for his crime!
Please, Your Majesty, please give the eldest prince a way out for his past feelings."
Lou Yan frowned tightly.
Today, if it were another person, he would not meddle in this nosy matter. But it happened to be related to Xiao Jue.
Lou Yan has always known that Xiao Jue is a knot in Qin Zhen's heart. She has been targeting Xiao Jue from the beginning, and it was all her fault that Xiao Jue ended up like this.
In the past, Qin Zhen had been preoccupied with things, almost to the point of being unable to sleep at night. As soon as she fell asleep, she started to have nightmares, and she was covered in cold sweat.
It was only after Xiao Jue left that Qin Zhen's condition improved. She opened her heart and accepted herself, no longer woke up from nightmares at night, and looked better day by day.
Now, Xiao Jue actually wants to return to the capital.
This made Lou Yan intolerable.
Although he knew in his heart that he shouldn't say it at this time, Lou Yan couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Father, I think..."
"Let him come back," Xiao Chengye and Lou Yan said almost at the same time, "He has also suffered some hardships over the years. I hope he can really sincerely repent."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Chengye looked at Lou Yan and asked doubtfully: "What did you want to say just now?"
Lou Yan lowered his eyelashes and said after a while: "What I just wanted to say, my father has already said."
Lou Yan raised his head and looked at Xiao Chengye, and his tone was a little more indifferent than before: "Just like what the father said, after the emperor has learned a lesson, he must know that he made a mistake, and he will definitely restrain himself in the future and will not make the same mistake again. More
What's more, the fourth child is ill, and no one is taking care of many things. These things are what the emperor is used to doing, so wait until he comes back to take over, and he should be able to do them easily."
Xiao Chengye looked at Lou Yan intently for a while, and finally let out a long sigh and said, "If these brothers were half as sensible as you, I wouldn't have to worry so much."
Lou Yan had no expression on his face and said calmly: "They are all very good."
Xiao Chengye shook his head and said nothing more.
He looked at the guard and said in a deep voice: "After you return, escort Xiao Jue back to the capital. If he makes any mistakes, you are the only one I can ask."
The guard general looked excited and said quickly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely not let the eldest prince get hurt at all."
He stood up with a smile on his face, and passed by Lou Yan on his way out. The corner of his eye caught Lou Yan's expression, and the guard suddenly felt a hair in his heart, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
He did not dare to stay long and quickly left the Qinzheng Hall.
Lou Yan withdrew his gaze, looked up at Xiao Chengye, and said, "When the eldest brother comes back, I will ask Dr. Murong to examine him in person and make sure to nurse him back to good health."
Xiao Chengye nodded, with a look of relief on his face: "You are serious."
Lou Yan agreed, said a few more words, and then turned around and left the Qinzheng Hall.
As soon as he went out, Lou Yan's expression instantly darkened, and the breath on his body was so cold that it could freeze someone to three feet.
Since he got married to Qin Zhen, he has never been angry again. Today, he is really a little angry.
Xiao Jue... It seems that driving him to the imperial mausoleum is not enough, he always appears in front of Qin Zhen.
"What are you thinking about, with such a scary expression?" Qin Yi didn't know when he came, and he was looking at Lou Yan with his head tilted.
When Lou Yan saw that it was Qin Yi, the expression on his face softened a little, but only a little, and it still looked scary.
"Xiao Jue is coming back, so be prepared." Lou Yan whispered.
Qin Yi's original smiling expression also changed.
He knew that the Qin family had to work hard to make Xiao Jue what he is today.
Now that Xiao Jue is back, if he is allowed to make a comeback, the Qin family will be the first to suffer.
"How could he come back?" Qin Yi said coldly, "How could your Majesty agree to let him come back?"
Lou Yan was silent for a moment, then suddenly sneered and said coolly: "What else could it be for? For checks and balances."
"Our Emperor regards his dragon chair as more important than anyone else, as if everyone is trying to snatch his dragon chair." Lou Yan said coldly, "Now Xiao Yao sees that he is dying.
My family is the only one in the court, how can our wise and mighty Emperor tolerate it? Therefore, letting Xiao Jue come back at this time is to give me a warning, and also to deliberately support Xiao Jue and let Xiao Jue and I compete in the arena so that he can sit down
Watching tigers fight from the mountains.”
This is why Lou Yan wanted to put down the matter of going to Southern Xinjiang and let Yuan Chu come.
On the one hand, he was reluctant to leave Qin Zhen, but more importantly, he knew that if he performed meritorious service again and gained military power, his emperor would be unable to sit still.
Only by giving up voluntarily could Xiao Chengye feel at ease.
The corner of Qin Yi's mouth twitched, and it took him a while to hold back a sentence: "That's your biological father."
Lou Yan looked at him strangely: "Are you a three-year-old? Do you still believe that the royal family has a father and a son? That's not my father, that's His Majesty the Emperor."
No father can guard against his son as much as he guard against a thief.
Qin Yi opened his mouth, but finally found that he had nothing to say.
Indeed, several of the sons of His Majesty the Emperor were tortured by him.
Lou Yan said in a deep voice: "Don't tell Zhen Zhen about Xiao Jue's coming back yet."
Qin Yi frowned: "Sooner or later she will know."
"I know," Lou Yan raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows and whispered, "I will tell her personally, don't worry."
Qin Yi was silent for a moment before nodding: "I understand."
He reached out and patted Lou Yan's shoulder, comforting: "Zhen Zhen has a strong heart. You don't have to be too cautious. You should trust her."
"I know she is very powerful, and I believe she can do it, but I just...can't bear it." Lou Yan raised his head and looked at Qin Yi, "I just can't bear her being a little bit unloving, and I can't bear to make her feel a little bit uneasy.
I just want her to be happy and not have to worry about anything."
Qin Yi was a little shocked, thinking that it was no wonder Qin Zhen wanted to choose Lou Yan in the first place.
Lou Yan's love is so pure and profound that it's hard for anyone to refuse it.
Qin Yi shook his head and said after a long while: "You have done a good job."
Whether a person is doing well or not can be seen at a glance.
Qin Zhen goes home often recently, and Qin Yi sees her a lot.
Every time they meet, Qin Yi can see a smile from the corners of Qin Zhen's eyes and eyebrows. His overall appearance has improved, and he looks much more lively, many times better than the lifeless appearance before.
One can imagine how attentive Lou Yan was to her.
Lou Yan lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "What I did was not good enough."
He shouldn't have let Xiao Jue live in the first place.
