63. Ruthless

Just as he was thinking about it, Yun Wen came in to report that someone from the palace had announced his entry into the palace. He was slightly surprised, since Yan Min ascended the throne, he had never been summoned alone. Several times after he entered the palace to ask the Empress Dowager for peace, he went to Chengde Hall to meet him, Yan Min pushed him for various reasons, but he didn't expect that this time he would take the initiative to summon him.

"Do you know what?"

Yun Wen has always been careful, and as soon as he heard that someone was coming from the palace, he didn't need Yan Xu's instructions to inquire, "It is said that Your Majesty has seen Miss Ye in the palace at noon." ”

Yan Xu frowned, he didn't care that Yan Min saw Ye Xuan in private, he was only worried that it would be dangerous for her to go down the barren mountain without permission, so he immediately ordered Yun Wen to send someone to find her, "Don't alarm her, I will go to see her in person after I leave the palace." ”

After the order, Yan Xu hurried to the palace, he just wanted to go early and return early, so that he could meet the stubborn woman he had been concerned about for a long time, and then firmly encircle her by his side, if she didn't come back for a day, he would never feel at ease for a day.

"Shizi, long time no see." On the way to Chengde Palace, Hua Yuan moved the lotus step lightly and greeted her from the garden, "I heard that the prince was injured when he went to Weidi, Hua Yuan has been uneasy in her heart, I don't know if it's okay now?" ”

As soon as she heard that Yan Xu was going to enter the palace, she dressed up early, and waited on this necessary road, and when she finally saw the figure she had longed for a long time walking calmly into the garden, her already nervous heart was beating wildly at this time.

She has learned from Yuan Mu that the matter of asking Yuan Mu to frame Xiyue has been revealed, and Yuan Mu is also subject to Yan Xu because of this matter, but she is unwilling, although she and Yan Min have inexplicably had a skin-to-skin relationship, but she never thought of marrying Yan Min. She doesn't like Yan Min, she looks down on his incompetence, and despises his character of only complaining and escaping when things happen, even if she knows that as long as she marries him, she will be able to honor the world and be unmoved. The man she wants to marry must be a hero who stands up to the sky and can afford to hold up to the sky, and there is only one such man in the world.

Yan Xu stopped and nodded at her indifferently, "There is a lot of work, a little injury is not enough to worry about." ”

He wore a court robe today, the royal blue gown made him look more heroic, his slightly drooping eyes did not look at her, cold and deep, and his tone was almost indifferent, but it was this cold and lonely appearance that made Hua Yuan's heart even more eager for him. She clutched her slightly trembling hand tightly in her sleeve, and tried her best to pretend to meet her inadvertently, "Hua Yuan is still talking in front of the Empress Dowager today, she wants to make the golden silk belly soup that the prince loves to eat and send it to the Rui Wangfu, but I didn't expect to meet the prince here when I turned around......"

Before she finished her words, Yan Xu said, "I don't like to eat golden silk belly soup." ”

Hua Yuan was stunned, her face froze for a moment, "But I remember that in the past, the prince was in the palace of the Empress Dowager, and this was his favorite food, and King Rui also said just now that the prince has always loved soup." ”

Yan Xu ignored what she said, and asked, "My father is here?" ”

He directly rejected her kindness, although Hua Yuan felt embarrassed, but she was still happy to see that he was willing to talk to her about other words, so she smiled and said, "Yes, I am still in the Empress Dowager's palace." Since the first emperor Yan drove, the empress dowager was depressed, her body was not as good as before, and she often talked about the prince and the prince, if the prince was free, he might as well go into the palace to accompany her old man. ”

Since the death of the first emperor, King Rui was finally willing to go out of the mansion, but he still refused to see Yan Xu, and even when he entered the palace to ask the empress dowager for peace, he deliberately avoided him. Yan Xu was thinking about her father, she didn't even glance at Hua Yuan out of the corner of her eye, and after saying goodbye lightly, she walked straight forward.

finally seized the opportunity to meet, Hua Yuan didn't want to let go lightly, and said: "The prince just said that he doesn't like to eat golden soup, so I don't know what the prince likes to eat?" After Hua Yuan did it, the prince saw His Majesty for a while, and happened to go to the palace of the Empress Dowager to taste, and her old man saw the prince, I don't know how happy she should be. ”

Yan Xu stopped and looked at Hua Yuan slowly, her cold and deep eyes looked directly at her, with scrutiny, her eyes were unpredictable, as if there was exploration, as if there was mockery, as if there was disgust, and there was no bottom. He knew that she didn't want to marry Yan Min, and he also knew that she had extraordinary feelings for him, but there were more women in Yicheng who fell in love with him, did he have to bother to socialize? It's just that she thinks about him, and the last thing she should do is to have a vicious mind to harm Xiyue.

His gaze moved down from her face, her lower abdomen was flat, and she couldn't see any signs of pregnancy, probably after knowing that she was pregnant, she secretly knocked it out. In the previous life, because of his push, Hua Yuan had no choice but to marry Yan Min, but he didn't expect to become Yan Min's help in the end, saying that Ping'an Hou sent troops to ten directions, which caught him off guard. In this life, he no longer underestimated her, and did not promote her marriage with Yan Min like in the previous life, but when the Empress Dowager urged the two, he asked his subordinates to fold the son, saying that the first emperor passed away, the world is filial, and the Son of Heaven should be more upright in order to be able to be a master for all generations.

Yan Min obviously didn't mean anything to Hua Yuan, and he didn't understand the good intentions of the first emperor to let him marry Hua Yuan, and took the opportunity to win over her mother's family Ping'an Hou, so he immediately pushed the boat down the river, saying that he would keep filial piety for the first emperor for three years.

Yan Xu has not been idle these days, it is a matter of time before Yan Min is ousted from power, he has to take precautions and clear a qiē obstacle before planning something. Now his subordinates are in full swing to collect evidence of Ping'anhou's crimes, and in a few days, the impeachment of Ping'an Houke's deduction of military salaries and false reports of soldiers and horses will fly to the cabinet desk like snowflakes.

Hua Yuan was swept up and down by Yan Xusen's cold gaze, and suddenly her body was cold, and she shivered for no reason, especially when his eyes swept over her abdomen intentionally or unintentionally, she felt even more empty, as if all her secrets had been glimpsed clearly by his gentle glance.

Just when she was nervous, she heard Yan Xu's cold voice again: "Hua Yuan, don't be self-righteous, what Yicheng lacks the most is a woman like you who thinks she is blessed with the advantages of her mother's family, you don't deserve to know my preferences." If it weren't for the face of the Empress Dowager, I wouldn't even be interested in talking to you. A foolish, arrogant, and vain woman like you is only worthy of a mediocre talent like Yan Min. ”

Hua Yuan was like thunder in an instant, standing there stiffly, her chest seemed to be filled with a bucket of ice water, so cold that she couldn't help but shiver. She didn't expect him to be so ruthless, and he didn't care about her feelings in the slightest, as if she was so despicable in his eyes that she was not as good as an ant. His words kept echoing in his head, a foolish and arrogant woman like you, who has nothing to offer, is only worthy of a mediocre talent like Yan Min...... These words were like a sharp blade that pierced her body. She bit her lip and stared at the back of the calmly departing figure, resentment and anger surging out, biting her lip to the point of bursting.

In the Chengde Palace, Yan Min thought of his rhetoric before seeing Yan Xu, picked up the emperor's shelf, and sued him for detaining Prince Wei, and said some high-sounding words to let him take care of the overall situation, so that he thought that he was announced to enter the palace today for the sake of Prince Wei, and finally mentioned it inadvertently, I heard that Zishuo was in his mansion, and he remembered that Zishuo had followed him in the past and asked him for this person.

Yan Xu has always listened to the training modestly and politely, and no matter how disdainful he is, he must at least fulfill the etiquette of a monarch and a minister on the surface, so as not to be truthful. Hearing that he finally begged for someone to himself, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

"His Majesty is benevolent, but probably His Majesty doesn't know that Zishuo is actually a Wei person, his father is the late King Xiang of Wei, and Prince Wei is his uncle. In the past three years, he didn't know how much information he had stolen from our dynasty, and he detained Prince Wei precisely to catch the big fish of Zishuo. Don't be blinded by someone with a heart again. ”

A few words gently blocked Yan Min's intentions, Yan Min was speechless, but helpless.

Yan Xu walked out of the Chengde Palace, originally thought that in the palace of the Empress Dowager, in front of her old man, it was impossible for King Rui not to see him, but after hesitating for a moment, he felt that it was really boring to meet like this, so he went straight to the east gate. Unexpectedly, when he left the palace gate, King Rui was already waiting in his carriage.

Yan Xu was a little surprised, but he was happy in his heart, and after asking for peace, he listened to him respectfully and said some words, and both of them did not mention the matter of the ten strategies again, and the atmosphere in the carriage was harmonious for a while. Not long after, the carriage drove into the palace, Yan Xu helped King Rui get out of the car, King Rui glanced at him, and suddenly the words changed, "You are also twenty-six this year, the princess has passed away for a long time, and you should also start a family." ”

Yan Xu's heart jumped, but her face was silent, "Father, it is an eventful time right now, the big things are undecided, and the child's marriage is not in a hurry." ”

King Rui said: "It is precisely because it is an eventful time now, since you want to plan for great things, you should take precautions and seek various strengths." I think Hua Yuan's child is good, gentle and virtuous, the most important thing is that her father Ping'an Hou holds the heavy army of Jinxi, if the two families marry, you will be treated in the world in the future, and with the help of Ping'an Hou, it is like a tiger with wings. ”

Yan Xu smiled, "Father, we have 300,000 Shuo'an elites in our hands, why do we need a single Ping'an Hou to add bricks and tiles, and why should my father have the ambition of others?" Besides, now no one in the court knows that Hua Yuan is the person that the first emperor deliberately left to Yan Min, if I marry her halfway, wouldn't I be criticized. ”

King Rui glanced at him lightly, and said in his heart, Are you still afraid of being criticized? Wasn't Gu Xiyue forcibly married back by you back then? He just has someone else in his heart and doesn't look down on Hua Yuan. He knew very well that this son had a temperament, his heart was higher than the sky, he would do whatever it took to achieve his ends, and he would never waste all available means, except for his rare stubbornness in love, and he refused to compromise half a point.

He didn't poke him either, and said patiently: "Don't underestimate the Marquis of Ping'an, although his title is the shadow of his ancestors, but he has stood tall in the court for so many years, and he also relies on his own ability, and it is precisely because of the soldiers and horses in his hands that the first emperor will leave Hua Yuan to Yan Min." I know that Hua Yuan is not a good choice in your heart, but you should understand that for people of our status, marriage is just a bargaining chip in exchange for profit. In any case, at this bone joint, Hua Yuan must not marry Yan Min. ”

Yan Xu walked meekly beside King Rui, and finally released his suspicions, he didn't want to anger King Rui, "I understand what my father meant, Hua Yuan can't marry Yan Min, but as far as the child knows, Hua Yuan and her cousin Yuan Mu have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and Yuan Mu also mentioned ...... to me before"

Rui Wang Huo Ran stopped, glanced at him sharply, and said sharply: "Nonsense, you don't gag with me!" Marriage events have always been the words of the matchmaker at the behest of the parents, and you can't put your beak in it. I know what you're thinking, but I might as well tell you that the only purpose of that alien woman is to open the ten directions for you, and the rest...... Don't even think about it. ”
