"A Cheng!" Concubine Liu felt extremely aggrieved. "My aunt is sincere to you. Otherwise, why would she treat you like that when you came to the capital? When I heard that you were getting married, I was as happy as if my own child was getting married. Maybe this matter will make me happy.
I made a mistake, but your heart has never changed."
"That's not what my cousin said." Yan Cheng said calmly, "You were just betting on me. If Yan succeeds, there will be a way out. If not, you can also use this matter to flatter the late emperor.
, yes or no?”
Concubine Liu was shocked and said hurriedly: "That's nonsense! Since Xi'er has betrayed me, she will naturally try her best to please you. Acheng, you have to be careful, she has already voted for Xu San, if I tell her this secret
…”
"Your Majesty, it's better not to sow discord here," Yan Cheng remained unmoved, "I have my own plans for my cousin's affairs, so you should talk about yourself!"
Seeing that she couldn't impress him, Mrs. Liu scolded Liu Xi'er countless times in her heart, so she could only think of another way.
"A Cheng, this matter is not what you imagined. Xi'er only heard a few words and had no idea of the inside story, so she said such words."
"Really?" Yan Cheng's eyes were full of doubt.
Concubine Liu sighed: "Do you know that when you came to the capital, the late emperor originally wanted to keep you and go back to Yan Er."
"What?"
Concubine Liu looked up at him: "You are the eldest son, and Yan Er is the second son. Who does the late Emperor want to keep more? Do we need to say who he wants to keep?"
Seeing that he did not refute, she continued: "The Yan family is becoming more and more powerful. If I really keep you here, the late emperor will never let you back. You will become a pawn to threaten them when the Yan family raises an army. The situation has reached this point.
If you take one step forward, it is impossible for the Yan family to not afford to fight for you. By then, who will care about you? Anyway, your father still has Yan Er, and he will still fight, so he will not have much influence on the Yan family."
Yan Cheng was silent for a long time and asked: "How was it solved later? Did my aunt convince the late emperor?"
Hearing him call her aunt again, Concubine Liu breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "I didn't want to take credit from you, so I never said anything. My aunt knew that the late emperor had this idea, so she vaguely revealed some of it, and Xi'er thought I was going to sell you.
good."
Yan Cheng frowned: "Did you tell the late emperor?"
Concubine Liu said hurriedly: "Of course I didn't say that your mother was the late emperor's concubine. If I really said that, would I want to take the lives of the Liu family?"
"Then what did aunt say?"
"Let me tell you, there is something wrong with your life experience. When you were born, Dong had only been married for more than seven months. I had vaguely heard some rumors in the early years. If you let your brothers go back, you can use this matter to let Yan
His misfortune caused Xiao Qiang."
"The late emperor agreed?"
Concubine Liu nodded: "The late emperor had his thoughts, but it wasn't long before the false emperor..."
Yan Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and heard Concubine Liu's statement: "A Cheng, this time it was my aunt who took the initiative, but her heart was also for you! Yan's achievements in the Second World War were getting better and better, and your father even put Xu San in charge of military affairs and military power.
Wouldn’t it be like becoming their family? I really can’t worry about it, but you don’t listen to me, so I decided to make Xi’er stay with you.”
At this point, she got angry again: "This damn girl is unwilling and doesn't know how to tell me, so she insists on trying to harm me like this."
Yan Cheng still didn't speak, but his eyebrows had relaxed a lot.
Concubine Liu noticed it, and her expression became sad: "Look at my aunt's current state. She is still tight-lipped at this stage. Don't you still believe that my aunt is sincere?"
Yan Cheng stared at her: "Aunt, remember what you said, you can't let out a word about this, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, I will die badly!" Concubine Liu swore, "Are you willing to believe it now?"
Yan Cheng's expression softened completely and he said: "It's getting late, I should leave. My aunt will practice well here for the time being. There are too many people staring at me now, so I can't plead for you yet."
With his words, Concubine Liu finally saw hope. She wiped away her tears and said, "It's just cultivation. What's the point of suffering for you? As long as you remember your aunt in your heart, it's worth being locked up here for the rest of your life."
"That's not the case." Yan Cheng said vaguely, "My aunt is still young, so she will go out one day."
Concubine Liu smiled: "Okay, my aunt is waiting for you."
After Yan Cheng left, Concubine Liu let out a long breath and collapsed on the futon.
She was finally coaxed! In just one month, she couldn't eat well or sleep well. The invited teachers would wake her up every day at 10:00, and she would wake up after finishing morning classes. She would eat two steamed buns before she could sleep.
When I go to work, I have to memorize scriptures until late at night after finishing evening classes, otherwise I won’t be able to memorize them the next day. I raise my hand as a ruler.
If she lived like this for the rest of her life, she wanted to hang herself. Fortunately, Yan Cheng believed her words. As long as she waited for him to take power, she could always regain her freedom. By then...
Concubine Liu thought of Princess Zhao who had spoken to her and sneered.
Until then, let Mr. Dong have a taste of this!
Yan Cheng quietly left the palace and got into the carriage.
His attendant asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you really believe her words?"
Yan Cheng said calmly: "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not, as long as she believes what I say."
As long as she has hope in her heart, Mrs. Liu will firmly keep the secret. His position is not too stable to say that it is stable, and the secret of his life experience must not be known to anyone.
Yan Cheng's eyes flashed slightly, thinking of Liu Xi'er who had gone south. When she left, he left her alone. He didn't know what was going on now.
…
The Duke's Mansion of Chu State.
Xu Huan looked at his daughter with a smile: "Why are you back today free? You even brought wine."
Xu Yin filled his father's glass and said, "My father is at the museum every day and has better information than me. Why should I ask questions knowingly?"
Xu Huan laughed, picked up the cup and clinked it with her: "With Qijun taken down, Jiangbei is surrounded. It's gratifying."
After the father and daughter finished a drink, Xu Huan took out a letter from the drawer: "It's from your sister, it was just delivered today."
Xu Yin opened it and looked overjoyed: "My sister has given birth! Mother and child are safe. It's great!"
Xu Huan smiled and nodded: "It's too far away to have full moon wine, but I have prepared gifts for my father. I will ask them to leave in the next two days."
Xu Yin said happily: "I'm also prepared and asked them to take it with them."
"good."
The two of them inevitably drank a few more drinks.
Xu Huan sighed: "I feel completely relieved about your sister. With her legitimate son, her position in the Dongjiang Palace will be stable, and her life will not be different. Now she is waiting for Aling to come back. After all, it is a war, and she is always worried outside.
"
"He's smart, nothing will happen to him!" Xu Yin said, "With King Zhao here, the father and son are watching over each other. No matter how powerful Jiang Yi is, he is no match for them."
There is no guarantee in a war, but it would be unlucky to talk about it, so Xu Huan stopped talking about it.
