Yu Wenyan, the prince of the Southwest Prince, was not dead.
His expression was stern, "...Right Prime Minister, what is your explanation?"
Jiang Qi sighed and said, "I... don't know either..."
Jiang Qiming knew that he couldn't tell what role the Jiang family played in rescuing Yu Wenyan, so he just asked.
Wei Cheng stared at him with profound eyes, and hummed for a long time: "...You, it's best that your Jiang family doesn't know..."
As long as the Jiang family doesn't commit suicide.
Under normal circumstances, the prince would not take the initiative to expose the fact that Yu Wenyan was not dead.
If the emperor knew about it, this would inevitably lead to further disharmony between the court and the Southwest King. This is not what the prince wants to see.
Secondly, when Yu Wenyan escaped from the palace, it was the prince who cooperated with him and added fuel to the flames. The prince himself was also involved. If it were exposed at this time, the prince might also get angry.
Moreover, when the person sent by the prince to assassinate Yu Wenyan died, the prince knew that the assassination failed. It is very likely that Yu Wenyan was not dead.
But now that he really saw Yu Wenyan alive, Wei Cheng couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Jiang Qi jumped out of the carriage with Fu Bao in his arms, followed by Wei Cheng.
The prince met Yu Wenyan's eyes from a distance, and he clenched his fingers, "Long time no see, Yu Wenyan...I should have known from the beginning that there are three cunning rabbit holes."
Yu Wenyan just raised the corner of his mouth coldly, "Now, His Royal Highness is on my territory."
Wei Cheng pursed his lips, "Are you threatening me?"
"It's not like—" Yu Wenyan's eyes moved to Fubao, "Fubao, let's go inside and rest."
The change in his face made everyone who saw it say "I'm sorry".
As a result, the Jiang family brothers and the prince all relied on blessings to settle down in Guifeng.
Hou Hong didn't know the identity of these people, but seeing the prince's attitude towards them, he naturally didn't dare to neglect them. He welcomed them inside and ordered people to serve refreshments to these distinguished guests. After that, Hou Hong withdrew knowingly.
Yu Wenyan is sitting on the upper seat, and on his left is Prince Wei Cheng. Jiang Qi, Jiang Shou, Jiang Yuan, and Jiang Li are seated below. Fubao is sitting in Jiang Qi's arms, closest to Yu Wenyan.
She grabbed the fruits and ate them and said, "Yu Wenyan, we want to ask you a favor."
Yu Wenyan moved his eyebrows. With all these people gathered together, he could immediately guess what they were here for.
"The imperial court sent you to investigate the flood problem? You can stay, I have conditions."
Wei Cheng nodded on the table and took a sip of tea: "We can't let the news leak out at this time. The prince can do it if he has the conditions, but don't go too far."
Yu Wenjing was shameless and still vividly remembers how he forced the emperor to cede territory because of his hidden illness.
Wei Cheng was also worried that like father, like son, what if Yu Wenyan was also shameless?
"The condition is that Fu Bao stays here."
"What!?"
The prince was stunned.
The Jiang brothers even rejected it.
"no!"
"Absolutely not!"
"I don't allow it!"
This scene is as if the daughter of the family is getting married, but all the uncles do not agree with the marriage and want to beat the couple.
Only Fu Bao didn't think it was a big deal. She blinked and asked, "Why?"
Yu Wenyan said quietly: "You shouldn't have brought Fu Bao here. Fu Bao stays in Guifeng. I can keep her safe."
This means that Fu Bao has been preserved.
Others can go wherever they like, and it is none of their business if they die.
When Jiang Qi heard his reasons, he started to think about it, and then considered him carefully: "Your Majesty... are you serious about this?"
Yu Wenyan looked at Jiang Qi's considering eyes, knowing that what Jiang Qi didn't say was whether he still remembered Fubao's kindness in protecting him.
Now that he has preserved Fu Bao, he has repaid the favor.
The stern young man did not say much, but simply said: "She will be fine even if I die."
The words were light and airy, but they were like a promise.
The Jiang family brothers were all calm.
The prince put down the tea cup and made a "bang" sound, causing a lot of tea to splash out.
He sneered: "Your Majesty, you are very confident."
Yu Wenyan ignored him and turned to look at Fubao: "Fubao, do you believe me? I have bacon to eat."
Fu Bao's eyes lit up.
I was on the road for several days and still stayed with the prince.
Fubao couldn't enter the space to rest, bathe, eat, or sleep well.
Now I finally have a safe place where I can eat bacon!
want!
No fool would want it!
Fu Bao nodded immediately: "Okay, okay!"
She raised her head and looked at Jiang Qi pitifully: "Uncle, you go ahead~ I support you mentally hehe!"
In fact, Fubao also knew that at his age, even if there was space, it would be a hindrance if he had to follow him.
If she can stay in Guifeng, the uncles can go directly to Qingyuan without any scruples to solve the problem. It is not far from Guifeng to Qingyuan. If it is necessary for the uncles to go back and forth on this road in the future, Fubao can still do it.
It would be much more convenient to plead with Yu Wenyan.
Jiang Qi was finally willing to let go, "That's good."
Then he quietly whispered in Fu Bao's ear: "If I bully you, speak on the panel."
Fu Bao nodded and whispered: "Fu Bao knows!"
This matter is settled.
Although Wei Cheng was unhappy with Yu Wenyan's attitude, he had something to ask for at the moment, and Yu Wenyan's request wasn't too much, so he could only purse his lips until he died of exhaustion.
Jiang Qi and others rested briefly at the county mansion, repaired themselves, and soon set out on the road to Qingyuan again.
Without Fu Bao, they all chose to ride away on horseback this time, and the speed was much faster. They would be able to enter Qingyuan in the evening.
Fu Bao stood at the door of the mansion and saw his uncles off.
"Fubao." Yu Wenyan called from behind and looked down at her, "Let's go in."
Fu Bao nodded: "Okay!"
She also looked up at Yu Wenyan and suddenly laughed, "Yu Wenyan, have you grown taller again?"
Yu Wenyan was stunned for a moment, "Really... maybe."
Fu Bao saw his earlobes that were red with embarrassment and smiled without piercing them.
It’s really interesting, how come Yu Wenyan is the same as his second brother before! He always likes red ears! Fu Bao still remembers that when he first returned to Jiang’s house, his second brother was very shy and blushed!
It seems that Yu Wenyan is also such a little brother!
Fu Bao happily followed Yu Wenyan in. Yu Wenyan watched her jumping up and down, but it had just rained in Guifeng and the stone slabs were slippery.
He said: "Be careful."
The next second he slipped, Fu Bao almost slipped and had a close contact with Mother Earth.
Yu Wenyan quickly grabbed her with quick eyes and hands, and scooped her up into his arms, "Be careful."
"Oh..." Fubao was in shock and grabbed Yu Wenyan's sleeve, but then he didn't let go, "Thank you..."
Yu Wenyan's voice sounded above her head, "It's okay, hold me."
He wanted to reach out his hand, but then he remembered the scar that had not completely disappeared.
He pursed his lips and repeated: "Hold on to my sleeve."
Fu Bao obediently did as he was told. This time he didn't dare to jump around or step into the puddles.
She walked slower and shuffled behind Yu Wenyan.
Squinting his eyes, he looked at Yu Wenyan, who had grown taller and looked very different.
Fubao wondered what was different about Yu Wenyan, but he still couldn't tell.
She just always felt that Yu Wenyan seemed... not as fierce and sinister as when she first met him. Fu Bao felt that he had become like an ordinary little brother, and he was still very close to him.
Hmm...or should I say, much gentler?
Fubao couldn't find a good adjective, so he gave up and asked, "Yu Wenyan, where are we going?"
Yu Wenyan said: "Take you to your wing - aren't you tired?"
Fu Bao rubbed his eyes, "It seems a bit... Do you think my uncle and the others can come back safely?"
Yu Wenyan wanted to say, "It's hard to say," but swallowed it back and said, "...Okay."
Fu Bao then became happy and said, "I think it's okay too, my uncles are all great!"
Chirping all the way, although this Guifeng Mansion can be considered a big house, it cannot compare to the big houses in the capital.
Fubao's wing arrived soon, and Yu Wenyan led her into the house, "You live here, I'll be next door to you. If anything happens, just let me know?" Yu Wenyan said.
Fu Bao looked around the room and nodded: "Okay."
Yu Wenyan lowered his eyes, "Then, you want to rest first?"
Fu Bao shook his head: "No, I have to clean up before I can go to bed."
Fu Bao is a good boy who loves to be clean!
Yu Wenyan coughed, his ears turned red, and he looked away: "Okay, okay."
He exited the door and said, "Wait a moment, I will find a maid for you."
Others Yu Wenyan was worried. He waved his hand and a man and a woman suddenly fell in front of him.
"Your Majesty!"
The woman had a fierce heroic spirit, Yu Wenyan said: "From today on, you are Fubao's maid."
The woman was stunned for a moment: "...the Crown Prince?"
She is a protector and becomes a maid?
Or a child's maid?
"Stop talking nonsense, don't make any mistakes, and protect her."
Yu Wenyan didn't say anything threatening, but the sinister look on his face made the protector shudder, and he quickly lowered his head and said, "Yes, Crown Prince!"
The woman hurriedly entered the door, while another masked protector, Yu Wenyan, said quietly with his hands behind his back: "Go to Qingyuan and secretly assist the Jiang family brothers."
"Yes!" The figure of the male guardian disappeared above the eaves.
Yu Wenyan twirled his fingertips.
Originally, Yu Wenyan was not in the mood to interfere with the floods in the three towns of Qingyuan. But Fubao wanted the Jiang family to be safe...
