Chapter 25: Meeting

By the time Jimo Wuxin and his party followed Yan Yan to the palace, it was already twilight, and the imperial city, which had always been majestic and atmospheric, was full of bright lights, and there was a warm halo of orange and yellow, but it was rare to reveal a little human touch in the cold and solemn heavenly atmosphere

Shenyan looked at the scene around him that still vaguely left his childhood memories, a pair of black eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking, although he had been paying close attention to his feelings since he stepped here, but with so many people present, he didn't say much for a while, and only pulled his sleeve slightly as a reminder, but Yan Yan and Baili Liusheng on the side, because of the secret they knew to each other, they had been paying attention to Shenyan's every move from beginning to end, indicating that they looked silent, but in fact, when their minds were spinning, they didn't know how many thoughts flashed, only the two Quan Zifan sisters, although they have always been ice and snow smart, and the cave is subtle, but becauseLooking at the similar royal garden in front of him, it is inevitable that he will touch the scene, and the two of them will be immersed in sadness and sorrow, so they are not in the mood to think more, and naturally they will not be able to detect the strange atmosphere of the undercurrent between the four people in front of them

It's just that the people who really feel uncomfortable are not in this group

At this moment, Yan Lie, who was dressed in homely civilian clothes, was standing at the door of the Yayin Palace, looking into the distance, and a solemn face showed a rare hint of restlessness, he was waiting for Yan Yan to bring Shen Yan back, waiting for the man who might be his son to walk in front of him step by step, and he was waiting for a story that had not been written back then

"Your Royal Highness the Emperor and Crown Prince, they should be coming soon, you better go into the palace and sit and wait," Su Jin, who was serving on the side, did not eat rice, seeing that the master was so naturally empathetic, and felt the anxiety, and immediately stepped forward and said very respectfully: "Although it is early autumn now, but at night, the wind blows on people, it is still a little cold, in case it provokes the wind and cold, it is not beautiful, then I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also blame the servants for serving carelessly, the emperor should be pitiful, pitiful, let's go in and rest for a while."

"You, the older you get, the more you start to think about yourself," smiled and shook his head, Yan Lie is also accustomed to this personal servant who has lived in one place since childhood, and he can't have the slightest temper, and there is not much difference between the master and servant between the words, but it is strangely kind and kind, and he doesn't seem cold and alienated at all: "Don't worry, my body and bones are still very solid, although they are not as good as before, but they are not so light, and they are not so light, so I can't blame you."

"Hehe, the slave thanked the emperor first," pretending to bow half-bowed, Su Jin noticed that there was still no soothing knot between Yan Lie's eyebrows, and immediately he didn't have the mind to laugh, and his tone turned to the point: "Your Majesty, you are worried about the matter of the eldest prince."

Although he didn't know much about the unresolved public case back then, he was also one of the few insiders in the end, and it was easy to reach some conclusions by contacting the few words he overheard Yan Yan say earlier today

"You also heard what Zhuo'er said," Yan Lie sighed, but he looked a little helpless: "Su Jin, you have been with me since you were seven or eight years old, can you also tell me about it, is it really possible that Shenyan is Ning'er's child?"

Ning Guifei...... Subconsciously appeared in his mind, the woman who had amazed the entire harem with her appearance and demeanor, Su Jin's eyes appeared a little nostalgia, but in the end, it still accumulated into a deep regret, every emperor's backyard is probably the most cruel battlefield in the world, even if there is no gunsmoke, no sword, but the most tragic killing is not lacking, a palace gate is as deep as the sea, and in it, not to mention a woman's youth, red face, dry bones, green silk into snow, are just the most ordinary scenery, most of the world are confused by the brocade flowers on the face, and a few can really see through the layers of splendor, the thousand years of decay hidden underneath

Lin Ningruo, the biological mother of the eldest prince, and Bai Xinwen, the mother of today's queen, are generally from the family, the only difference is that the queen's maternal family, the Bai family is a military general, and the Lin family represented by Ning Guifei is mostly a noble literati, paying attention to poetry and etiquette, so although these two people have similar family backgrounds and similar time to enter the palace, in the red fire country that emphasizes literature and light martial arts, Ning Guifei's status is still invisibly much higher than that of the queen mother who was a concubine at that time

As for the later sentence that whoever is the prince will set up a gambling contract for the queen, it is just because the emperor has always adhered to a bowl of water and a flat attitude that he put forward in desperation, others don't say that he is a person who knows the inside story completely, before saying this, the emperor had specially transferred an old lady doctor who was proficient in this technique to check the pulse of the two mothers, and after getting the assurance that Ning Guifei's birth date would be earlier than Duan Guifei, he finally let go, but no one could have imagined that it was that birth that actually took Ning Guifei's life, and later the bad news that the eldest prince died unfortunately, it is really not as good as heaven

Over the years, even if the emperor doesn't say it, he must have never let go of it in his heart, after all, he grew up with the emperor since he was a child, and he can see who the master likes and dislikes, and he knows better than anyone else

"What are you thinking, I don't answer when I ask you," Yan Lie waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for the reaction of the people around him, and at the moment, he was a little crying and laughing, and found that Su Jin was in a daze with a wooden face, probably too long to see that this guy would be so gaffe, so he almost involuntarily had a playful heart, while reaching out a hand and shaking it again and again in front of someone who was outside the world, while pretending to be angry and asking

"The emperor forgives the sin, the slave was distracted for a while, and he forgot to reply," for the first time, he pulled out his mind from the infinite emotion and remembrance of the past, Su Jin settled down, first asked for a crime, and the rest were not necessarily panicked: "Besides, the slave is thinking about this question, the emperor, you are afraid that you are asking the wrong person, and the slave must not be able to answer no matter how clever he is."

"Oh" I didn't expect him to pop out such a sentence, Yan Lie became interested for a while: "Why can't you answer" In this huge palace, there are not many old people who still remember Ning Er's appearance, if he can't even say Su Jin, then he can't help but start to wonder if he can really determine the identity of Shenyan

"Your Majesty, what do you think" Su Jin spread his hands, and he looked completely innocent: "The slaves have never seen what the prince looks like, how can they make conclusions?"

Forehead...... Yan Lie was completely hit by this sentence, and he froze in place for a long time, and he didn't move, and when he returned to normal, he couldn't help but stroke his forehead and chuckled: "It's really old and confused, I actually forgot about this stubble, I really shouldn't ......."

He didn't think about it at all, even he himself hadn't seen the true face of Shenyan in Shenyan, Su Jin, the chief attendant who had lived in the deep palace for a long time, how could he know about it, and he patronized Ning'er's side, but he ignored Shenyan here

"According to the view of the servants, the emperor, you are in a hurry to go to the doctor," also laughed and teased, but Su Jin did not forget to appease him in a timely manner: "Calculate the time, His Royal Highness the Prince, they should almost arrive, yes or no, you will know at a glance, why do you have to think so much at this time?"

"It's been a long time, and you're just trying to persuade me to enter the hall," he laughed again and again, and Yan Lie had to admit that he was interrupted by Su Jin one after another, and his mood was indeed not as anxious as before

Now that he knew his intentions, he naturally couldn't live up to his intentions, Yi Yan Lie immediately helped Su Jin to turn around, and planned to enter the hall to sit and wait, who thought that he had just walked a few steps, and a familiar voice had already come from behind him: "Father, Emperor"

......At this moment, there was almost an unusually bright light in Yan Lie's eyes, and he subconsciously broke free from Su Jin's hand holding him, and he turned his head sharply to look at the group of people standing at the bottom of the steps

Except for Yan Xuan's group of people, who are basically not familiar with men and women, and excluding Jimo Wuxin and Yangui, who have already had several faces, and those two women who are quite kind-faced, there are only two men in black and white clothes, and one of these two people is his son who thought he had been dead for many years......

Thinking of this, Yan Lie couldn't help but be a little impatient, Su Jin suddenly had a lot of insight when he saw this, stepped forward and steadied himself, and reminded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, everyone is here anyway, please don't be impatient" After all, no one knows whether the person who may be the eldest prince has the meaning of father and son recognition, in case he scares people away at that time, it will be more than worth the loss

And at the moment when these two people were communicating secretly, Jimo Wuxin took a step forward, but opened his mouth with a smile: "I haven't seen the emperor for a few months, don't come to harm, this time I have no intention of bringing a group of friends to bother you for a while, first sue me here in advance, and ask the emperor to forgive me for one or two."
