When Wen Yingyin came in, Xia Hou Chunyan just finished explaining his instructions to Yingwu, and then Yingwu did not stay any longer and left in a hurry.
Thinking that there was news about Xia Hou Yiyun, Wen Gongyin put down the medicinal meal and sat down opposite Xia Hou Chunyan without formality and asked urgently:
"Is there any news about Princess Yiyun?"
Xiahou Chunyan looked tired. He rubbed his swollen head and said:
"There is no definite news yet, but Yiyun's horse has been found."
Finding Xiahou Yiyun's horse not only did not bring any comfort to Xiahou Chunyan, but instead increased his worries.
Because Xiahou Yiyun's horse was found downstream of the river bank, it stopped near the bank and did not leave. The most disturbing thing was that there was an arrow stuck in its body.
The arrow on the horse was the same as the arrow they found at the beginning. This also confirmed that Xiahou Yiyun was indeed attacked. Judging from the fact that the horse stopped and refused to leave, Xiahou Chunyan guessed that his favorite emperor
The girl probably fell into the river and was carried further downstream.
Three days have passed and Xia Houyiyun has not been found yet. He can accept it, but he will never allow what he will find when the time comes...
"cough……."
Just the flash of a bad scene made Xiahou Chunyan's heart tighten uncontrollably, and the breath in his chest was squeezed straight into his throat.
"Prince...?" Wen Gongyin was worried about him.
Xiahou Chunyan waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing serious. Wen Gongyin saw that his expression was not particularly inappropriate, so he did not become overly nervous and only comforted:
"Princess Yiyun's safety is of course important, but the prince's health cannot be neglected. In the past two days, because I was worried about Princess Yiyun, your poisonous injuries have obviously become strange again."
"Compared to Yiyun's unknown life and death, this little problem of mine is nothing. I'm just afraid of Yiyun..."
"The prince, instead of worrying about Princess Yiyun here, it is better to make up your mind and take care of your own health. In this way, when Princess Yiyun comes back, if she really needs your help, you will not be unable to do what you want."
On the day of Xia Houyiyun's accident, he took the people out of the city to search for him for a day and a night, but he was overworked and his poisonous injuries backfired.
Although the poisonous "camel bell" in his previous assassination was fortunately detoxified, his body's vitality was also severely damaged, and recovery would require a certain period of absolute rest.
Moreover, he should not be overly anxious during the recovery process, otherwise it would be like now, and the reverse flow of the injury would slow down his recovery. This is why he had to stay in Dacheng to recuperate from his injuries.
Because of the adverse effects of poisonous injuries, not only the people around Xiahou Chunyan advised him not to go out to find people anymore, but Dongling Yuanyong also asked people to bring him a message to let him recover from his injuries as peacefully as possible, so that both his brother and sister would not be well.
Then there will be more problems.
Xiahou Chunyan also knew that Dongling Yuanyong's concerns were right. It was not easy to save his life. If something happened to him again, it would undoubtedly cause a lot of chaos.
However, if he doesn't go out and stay in the palace, it doesn't necessarily mean that he can wait for the news calmly.
Wen Yuyin has been taking care of Xiahou Chunyan more these past two days. He seems to be quite stable on the surface, but she knows that he has been suffering in his heart.
Just like at this moment, Xiahou Chunyan frowned and remained silent. Wen Gongyin immediately knew that he was worried again. She tried to analyze and explain:
"Prince, although Princess Yiyun is missing, she should be in trouble with Prince Hao. They are such precious people, how could something happen casually? I think they must still be alive and well, but they just failed to return in time.
It’s just an imperial city, if we don’t turn back, they will come back on their own.”
"hope so!"
Xiahou Chunyan's frown never relaxed. It was not that he had not comforted himself. Maybe Dongling Yuanhao would protect his sister.
But three days have passed. If they could come back, why are they still missing?
How could he not be worried about not being able to see anyone alive or dead? He did love Xia Hou Yiyun and sincerely hoped that she would still be alive and well. But he also had a somewhat despicable thought, that is, what if Xia Hou Yiyun was really unfortunate?
...In that case, he will face huge troubles when he returns to Xiahou Kingdom.
Xia Hou Yiyun was his father's beloved princess, and the only blood of his adoptive mother who had been doted on in the harem for many years... It is conceivable that if Xia Hou Yiyun made any mistakes due to his negligence, he would go through a lot of trouble.
Whether he can keep the position of prince that he has worked so hard to achieve is another matter!
Wen Gongyin didn't know that Xiahou Chunyan's inner worries were mixed with his personal pros and cons. She saw that his face was getting more and more gloomy, and she just thought that he was too worried about Xiahou Yiyun's life and death.
In order to divert Xiahou Chunyan's attention, Wen Junyin placed the moderately warm medicinal meal in front of him and said:
"Prince, your appetite has been extremely poor these past few days and you haven't eaten anything well. This is a new meal I asked the imperial doctor to prepare. Please try it while it's hot. Does it suit your appetite?"
Xiahou Chunyan looked at the soup in front of him. He smelled the fragrance of herbs, but he still had no appetite.
Just seeing the concern on Wen Jingyin's face, and the fact that he really needed to recover quickly, he tasted it. After a while, he drank seven or eighty-eighty percent of a bowl of soup, and Wen Jingyin was happy for this.
Smiling.
"Gurgling, these days you have been worrying about Xin Yiyun and taking good care of me. But you have no time to follow up on Wen's case..."
Xiahou Chunyan looked at Wen Gongyin. He never thought that he and Wen Gongyin would get along like family members... No, to be precise, they were indeed family members.
However, this has to start with the safety buckle Wen Jingyin carries with him...
There have been many marriages between Dacheng and Xiahou over the past century, but they are not limited to royal families, and there are also many marriages between powerful officials and nobles.
More than twenty years ago, the Wen family was still a family of powerful ministers and diplomatic envoys. Therefore, the Wen family's legitimate daughter was designated to marry into the Xiahou royal family, along with a concubine who was not very favored by the Wen family.
That unloved concubine was Xiahou Chunyan's biological mother... When the Wen sisters first arrived in Xiahou's harem, the concubine was of course named a concubine, but the concubine could only be a maid.
But fortunately, the sisters were of the same mind and relied on each other. It happened that Emperor Xiahou came to the palace of Wen's legitimate daughter, but because it was not convenient for her to serve Emperor Xiahou that day, she asked her sister to have that night instead of her.
of favor.
It was on that night that Xiahou Chunyan came into existence. Unfortunately, the Wen sisters did not receive more honors and favors because of Xiahou Chunyan's arrival.
Because the Wen family's concubine fell seriously ill and passed away before Xiahou Chunyan was born. The Wen family's concubine was left alone in the harem full of flowers. Due to her status, even if she was pregnant with a dragon child, she could not bring her a son.
Come for more protection.
Sure enough, after Xiahou Chunyan was born, the Wen family's concubine was merely promoted from a palace maid to the lowest concubine in accordance with the harem rules.
As for Emperor Xiahou, he would not look at the ordinary palace maids who gave birth to his children differently just because he had an extra prince. He even forgot about Xiahou Chunyan's biological mother.
Or it should be said that if Emperor Xiahou's favorite Concubine Liu had not adopted Xiahou Chunyan later, Emperor Xiahou might not have cared much about him.
However, these old things are also mentioned because they are related to the Ping An button. The original owner of the Ping An button was actually Wen Gongyin's aunt, but she gave it to her sister who was pregnant with her child before she died.
Later, when Xiahou Chunyan's biological mother got together with her brother who was on an envoy to Xiahou, Wen Junyin's father, she learned that the Wen family had a new daughter, so she transferred the safety buckle to her brother.
This is the reason why Wen Gongyin owns the royal objects of the Xiahou Kingdom.
By chance, Xiahou Chunyan overheard Xiahou Yiyun casually mentioning that Wen Gongyin had a safety buckle that was almost exactly the same as hers. Out of curiosity, he took the initiative to ask Wen Gongyin how she had the Xiahou royal family.
s things.
As a result, after talking, they realized that there was such a deep relationship between them.
It was not that Xiahou Chunyan didn't know that his biological mother was from Dacheng, but because of his mother's low status and the fact that he was later adopted by Concubine Liu Guifei, traces of his biological mother slowly disappeared in the harem of Xiahou Kingdom. He also secretly buried it
All attachment to his biological mother, because he must rely on Concubine Liu as his biological mother...!
His biological mother, who he thought was buried deep in his heart, had already turned into a fluttering thread. As long as he didn't touch it, he could forget its existence.
But knowing that there are people with the same blood as his biological mother in the world, all his memories of his biological mother flashed up clearly one by one... Only then did he realize that he had never forgotten the first attachment in his life!
Because Wen Gongyin was related to him by blood, Xiahou Chunyan classified Wen Gongyin as his close sister in a short period of time.
Therefore, regarding Wen's experience, he felt that he had the same feelings as Wen Yingyin, so he also hoped that Wen's case would be brought to light.
When Wen's case was mentioned, Wen Junyin naturally knew what Xiahou Chunyan meant. She forced a smile and said:
"Now, for Your Majesty, no matter how important Wen's case is, it is no more important than Prince Hao. If Your Majesty doesn't make the decision, what can I do if I am free?"
"It's one thing for Emperor Dongling to make the decision, but do you really have to wait for Emperor Dongling to make the decision?" Xiahou Chunyan gave a friendly and tolerant smile.
"What do you mean, Prince?"
"Don't you also have doubts about whether Wen's enemy is Wu Jiayi?"
"I……!"
Wen Gongyin was speechless. One of the things that made her uneasy in the past few days was what Xiahou Chunyan said.
She has always believed that Wu Jiayi was the culprit who caused the Wen family to be exterminated.
But today, various signs are hinting that everything she knows may not be true.
After experiencing so much humiliation and grief, she really didn't want to cause trouble when she could take revenge.
In the past few days, she had actually thought that since Wu Jiayi had confessed, why should she worry about it anymore, just let Wu Jiayi die to settle everything.
However, there was always a voice in her heart telling her that if Wu Jiayi was not her enemy, wouldn't it mean that she had not taken revenge and had wronged Wu Jiayi?!
