Miss Yu looked at her father in shock: "Prince Duan?"
Yu Chong nodded: "You didn't expect it, right? He actually has such an ambition."
As a prince, you don't have to think about the reason why you spend so much time trying to find out his secrets.
"My father has already warned him." Yu Chong said, "He is an idle prince and has no evidence at hand. We don't need to be afraid of him."
Miss Yu frowned, but said: "Father, don't you think it's a little strange? Why does he dare to have such thoughts? You are about to become the prince's father-in-law, and you will definitely be a very popular minister in the future. Why should he win over you?
"
When she reminded him, Yu Chong nodded thoughtfully: "What you said is, then he..."
"I'm afraid there is something to rely on." Miss Yu said softly, "You'd better be more careful."
…
A few days later, the people following Xu Mansion gradually withdrew, and even the original informants disappeared.
Xu Yin was relieved when he heard that Chai Qi had come to report.
"We have finally eliminated the suspicion, and we will watch them fight each other next."
Xiaoman came over with a plate of cut cantaloupe: "Miss, come and eat the melon, it's so sweet."
Xu Yin nodded, picked up a piece, and let them share the rest.
The cantaloupe in May was sweet and crisp, and had just been frozen in the ice cream. It was refreshing and refreshing, and a group of people enjoyed eating it.
While eating, Wei Jun felt something in his heart: "It would be great if I could go back to Nanyuan. Bayberries are also out this season, as well as sand pears, peaches... It's not like the capital, where there are only a few fruits."
He talked so much that Xiaoman was drooling, and he quickly asked: "Miss, when can we return to Nanyuan?"
Xu Yin smiled: "We have only been here for a long time, and now we want to go back?"
"It's been so many months!" Xiaoman counted on his fingers, "We will leave after the Chinese New Year. It will be May soon, one, two, three, four, it's been four months."
It was true to say so. Wen Yi touched his beard and said with a smile: "Miss Xiaoman has never traveled far away. It is the first time she has been away from home for such a long time. It is reasonable to be homesick."
He changed the topic and asked again: "Where is the third lady?"
Xu Yin naturally misses home. She wishes she could stay with her father and sister all the time, but this is unrealistic. Her sister will get married in the future, so she might be separated. And with the world in turmoil, there are still many opportunities to say goodbye to her father. As long as they
It doesn't matter if both of you are safe and well.
With this thought in mind, she replied: "Your Majesty is so kind to me and allows me to teach in the capital. I must repay God's kindness."
Wen Yi said: "Actually, there is no need to worry. The third lady is getting haircut this year, so this is going to be a big deal. It is reasonable and reasonable for the adults to send someone to pick her up by then. You can go home by August at most."
"Great!" Xiao Man clapped his hands happily, "Miss, shall we stay for another three months?"
Xu Yin thought: "If I leave, then in Beijing..."
Wen Yi waved his hand: "I'm here, Miss Third, just don't worry."
Xu Yin looked at him in surprise: "Wen Changshi wants to stay? Aren't you going back to reunite with your relatives?"
Wen Yi said with a smile: "I personally arranged all these things in Beijing. I just left like this. I don't worry!"
Xu Yin nodded silently, lowered his head and ate the melon.
His family was all in Nanyuan, but he stayed in the capital. Wen Changshi showed his loyalty!
While I was eating, a guard came outside to report.
"What's wrong?" Xu Yin put down the melon in his hand.
Wei Jun went out for a while and came back to report: "Good news, the Duke of Zhao has won a great victory, and Xirong has come forward to proclaim himself a vassal."
Xu Yin nodded and calculated the time, it was indeed almost the same.
Wen Yi saw something wrong with his expression and asked: "This is a good thing. The captain of the guard is not happy to see it. Is there any other news?"
Seeing Wei Jun hesitate to speak, Xu Yin took over the conversation: "Is Duke Zhao Guo seriously injured and dying?"
Wei Jun was shocked and blurted out: "Miss Third, how do you know?"
…
How do you know? Of course I have seen him in his previous life. Zhao Guo decided to settle Xirong fair and asked the emperor for an edict in the name of serious injury to let Yan Ling return to Tongyang.
When the emperor received the memorial, his mind became alive.
The Yan brothers are close in age, and Yan Cheng, the eldest, does not have enough prestige to convince the public, but Yan Ling, the second, can save the family. If anything happens to Duke Zhao, and their brothers fight, the Yan family will probably fall apart.
So, he happily let Yan Ling go back.
Duke Zhao was naturally fine. He only suffered some minor injuries and deliberately exaggerated the severity of his injuries in order to save his second son from leaving the capital. When Yan Ling returned to Tongyang, he claimed to have recovered.
The emperor had no choice but to regret that he had been deceived.
At this moment, Yan Ling was already kneeling outside the imperial study room.
He had already thought about it. As long as the emperor was willing to let him leave the capital, he would take out the private marriage certificate, pretend that he was engaged to Xu Yin, and beg the emperor to let him take her back to appease his father's dying wish.
Based on Yan Ling's understanding of the emperor, this plan has a high probability of success. He is afraid of the Yan family, but lacks the strength and confidence to deal with them. Therefore, he often has unrealistic expectations and hopes that something will happen to them.
It's a wonderful situation, I'll give it a try myself.
As for Xu Yin, the prince has already convinced the emperor, and maybe he hopes that the Xu family will get involved and make the Yan family's internal strife even more intense.
With such a mood, Yan Ling reached out and rubbed her eyes. The pungent smell hit her nose, and tears suddenly fell from her eyes.
"Your Majesty, please have mercy on me." He shouted with tears streaming down his face, "Please let me go back and see my father off."
Seeing how he was crying so heartbrokenly, it made everyone sad when he heard it and shed tears when he saw it.
In the palace, the prince couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Father, Duke Zhao is guarding the border for the country and is about to die, so let Yan Er go back to see him one last time!"
The emperor detained Yan Ling just to protect Duke Zhao. Now that Duke Zhao is in danger, it is meaningless.
Hearing what the prince said, he nodded: "This is the right thing to do, but we still have to wait for the report from Tongyang to confirm that Duke Zhao is really seriously ill."
The prince was confused for a moment, but he almost didn't ask, "Does Duke Zhao still pretend to be ill?" and answered yes.
The emperor was very pleased and felt that the prince had indeed grown a lot, so he gave a few more words: "When the news is confirmed, you will see him off in person. Remember to encourage him to make more achievements in the future and inherit his father's legacy."
Without waiting for the prince's response, he continued: "Yan Er is a general. At such a young age, he dares to lead three thousand soldiers and horses to attack Balsi. If he can be used by you, your position will be stable in the future.
As a king, you must know the way of balance. You should promote Yan Er more and let him compete with his brother. If he succeeds, you will not have to be afraid of Yu Chong in the future..."
Yan Ling knelt for a while before the emperor finally summoned him.
He looked kind and said: "It's human nature for you to miss your father. How can I stop you? However, you don't have to worry. I have already sent the imperial doctor. You can stay for a few days and bring my condolences.
