Chapter 289: The Most Precious Memory

"Father's worries?" Fang Xiaoyu looked at King An's gaze, revealing some ridicule.

As soon as King An saw Fang Xiaoyu's expression, he knew what she was thinking. But he couldn't be angry, at least not now. For him, Ye Xici is far away in Beiyan, far away from the capital, and he can only rely on Fang Xiaoyu to get information about Ye Xici.

What's more, he knew that although Xici's martial arts were much stronger than before, the land of Beiyan was unfamiliar after all, and if he was on the battlefield, his martial arts might not be worth the tragedy of the battle on the battlefield. In addition, the prince is a burden on his side, and he can't let go of his hands and feet to his heart's content, if he wants to ensure safety, he still needs Fang Jianzhang to take care of it.

Beiyan is Fang Jianzhang's territory, but Fang Jianzhang is Fang Xiaoyu's father!

Since he knew that Ye Xici was his biological son, his heart was more on Ye Xici. It's ironic to think about it, he used to try to get his attention, but he didn't give a damn. And now, he wants to go back and make up for his mistakes, but he no longer has the slightest father-son affection for him.

However, even if Ye Xici never forgave him anymore and still kept such an awkward distance from him, he still hoped that he could live well, live to see his retribution, and live to accept his confession.

"What kind of person Ye Shucheng is that baby, this king knows very well. seems to be kind, but in fact he can't stand a little grievance. Who gave him anger, in front of outsiders, he smiled and welcomed people with a generous heart, but in fact, he would definitely retaliate ruthlessly behind his back. As for Zhou Ling, I always thought she was kind and kind in the past, but she has gained a foothold in the palace over the years. From a small nobleman all the way to the position of a concubine, if there is no means, how is it possible? You have sinned them severely. You have the support of the royal brother, and they don't dare to make a move on you for the time being, but it doesn't mean that they will swallow this breath. If they sprinkle their anger on your father and Xici, they will not be able to prevent it at all. ”

King An's tone had softened very much. Compared with the previous King An, such a low voice was the biggest concession he could make.

And all this for the sake of the son to whom he owed so much.

Fang Xiaoyu was silent. She naturally knew that what King An said was true. Because in fact, Zhou Guifei and Ye Shucheng are indeed the kind of people he says they are.

She has the identity of a 'Buddha girl', for fear of startling the grass, Zhou Guifei and Ye Shucheng may not dare to make a move at such a critical moment. However, the Northern Yanshan Emperor is far away, and the quicksand country is ****. If a person dies on the battlefield and does it cleanly and beautifully, and he can't grasp the handle, you can't help him.

That's what worries her. Therefore, she ordered the people of Canglan Haige to rush to Beiyan and Northwest as much as possible to support. It doesn't necessarily matter how useful it is. But at least it's a back road. And Moon Shadow Division has also been paying attention to Beiyan's movements, just to ensure the safety of her father and Ye Xiqi.

"Father, is there something I don't know what to ask?" Fang Xiaoyu looked at King An's gaze with a little hesitation.

"You ask." King An was a little puzzled, why Fang Xiaoyu's expression was so solemn.

Fang Xiaoyu glanced at King An deeply and said, "Father once sent an envoy to the early state state? ”

King An nodded, not hiding it. This is known to many people, and there is nothing to hide.

Fang Xiaoyu continued to ask: "My father disappeared for a while on the way to the mission, where did my father go?" What did you do? ”

King An was stunned. How could this topic be easily diverted? So he asked, "Where has this king gone, it is important?" ”

"It's important. It's important whether I'm willing to speak for my father in front of Xici. Fang Xiaoyu was very shameful, and simply used Ye Xici as a threat.

King An glanced at Fang Xiaoyu puzzled. Then he sank into the past.

In fact, he was in distress in Hayashu at that time, and he was separated from everyone for a time. He disappeared for a while and returned to the team, but there were all kinds of speculations circulating.

He also deliberately blurred the time of his disappearance, making his movements suspicious during that time. But in fact, there were no thrilling events during that period of disappearance, and there was no unsightly conspiracy as outsiders suspected, but because he had an accident and got separated from the team, and then he accidentally strayed into a small village when he couldn't find his way and groped around.

It is said to be a village, but in fact there are only five or six households. The village does not occupy a large area, but it is only dependent on the mountains, but it can hunt for a living.

The people of the village were rare, but welcoming, and did not look down on her for her splendid brocade dress, nor for her lack of common sense.

He was warmly received by the villagers, who entertained him with the best vegetables in the village and the meat of wild beasts. The village is inhabited by old and weak women and children, and even when they go out hunting, there are very few young people, most of them are in their forties and fifties or even older.

He learned from them that the young and middle-aged people in the village had been recruited by the imperial court to serve as soldiers, leaving behind women, children and parents, staying in this small village, looking forward to the return of their sons and grandchildren day by day.

Life in the village is not depressing, although I miss my relatives, I live optimistically. He was unconsciously infected by that warmth.

In the huge cage of the palace, they were like birds with folded wings. Whether it is a talented person, an ambitious person, or a person who is willing to be ordinary, in the end, they can't escape the last resort.

In order to fight for the throne, to get ahead, to get the appreciation of his father, in order to be able to live. They unscrupulously wanted to attract the attention of their father, and flaunted their talents like clowns, just to get a compliment and approval from the person sitting on the dragon chair. But as everyone knows, the father has long had a rod and scale in his heart, and the happier they dance, the more they can't change the final outcome.

He suddenly became bored with the life in the palace for a moment, and even had the idea of staying here forever and living a simple mortal life, and it was out of control.

He likes everyone's kind smile, and he likes the child's dirty hand to shove a hard nest into his hand, and then smile sweetly. It was as if the whole sky had softened a little.

He liked it when old people put vegetables in his bowl and told him to eat more. I like the clear water in the mountains, and I wash my numb soul with a bang.

He suddenly didn't want to go back to that filthy palace. I don't want to see my mother's pampered and arrogant appearance, I don't want to see the insidious intrigue, I don't want to see the arrogance of some people.

He wanted to stay here forever, to blend in with the village, with the old people and children, but in the end, he saw who he was. Knowing the purpose of his mission to Hayashu Country, he knew that he could not stay in this village and live the life of ordinary people.

Because he is a prince, if something happens in Hayashu country. Even if the entire Hayashu Kingdom is leveled, his father will definitely find him.

To live to see people, to die to see corpses.

This is a matter of the dignity of Dacheng, and there must be no sloppiness.

Hayashu Province is too small. If Dacheng is willing. It will be destroyed in an instant. He can't do it for his own selfishness. Involve ordinary people in right and wrong, so he must leave.

When he left, the people in the village seemed to be very reluctant, they stood at the entrance of the village, watching him leave from a distance until they could no longer see his back, and then returned to the village and continued to live those lives like fireworks in the world.

Maybe it's because I haven't seen an outsider for a long time, or maybe it's rare to see him as a young man. His appearance left a happy time for the people in the village. But the people in the village left him with a lifetime of precious memories.

He engraved these memories firmly in his mind, never told anyone, never asked anyone to mention, no matter how outsiders guessed, he was silent and still calm as usual when rumors spread.

Because it was a memory that was too good, and as ordinary as it was, it made him feel that it was a precious treasure that he did not want to share with anyone.

If outsiders listen to it, they will definitely find him boring, but for a person like him, who has lived in the palace since he was a child, has no friends, no playmates, and even family affection is just a tool for calculation, such simple happiness is a luxury that he cannot ask for.

If it weren't for Fang Xiaoyu asking today, if it wasn't for Ye Xici's forgiveness, he would definitely not tell others about such recollections. He thought that even if Fang Xiaoyu heard such an explanation, he was afraid that he would think that he was lying and making up a story and chose not to believe it, so he was even ready to be ridiculed by Fang Xiaoyu.

He knows. Fang Xiaoyu This woman will not sell his face just because he is his father. The momentum when he threatened him before was still very fond of it to this moment.

How did Fang Xiaoyu look at him with a very strange gaze, and he was a little uncomfortable.

Fang Xiaoyu's heart was actually broken.

In the past, she and Ye Xici guessed again and again where did King An go when he disappeared when he went to the country of Hayashu? And what did you do? They even guessed countless possible conspiracy theories, just to find a reasonable explanation for the relationship between King An and Zhou Ling.

The timing of King An's mission to the state of Hayashu was too delicate. And he also disappeared for a while in Hayashu Country. After coming back, he became friendly with Zhou Guifei. No matter how you guess, I always feel that King An should be part of this conspiracy.

But the end result is this?

Got lost and walked to a small village with only five or six families, frolicking with children, talking with the elderly, watching the beautiful scenery of the mountains, listening to the murmuring of the water, and then eating a coarse tea and light meal together that is not sumptuous, and then leaving?

Fang Xiaoyu was a little confused. Things were unexpected, and she didn't know what expression to use to express her mood at the moment.

Of course, it is also possible that King An is lying. But from Wang An's description, she instinctively felt that this was not like a lie.

She understands that if King An regards this extreme ordinariness as the most precious memory, it proves that he was actually not happy in the palace back then.

Thinking about it, just his stupid and hopelessly mother-in-law, who doesn't know how to look at his eyes at all, is enough for him to drink a pot.

What's more, most of the royal family affection is actually based on interests, but it is difficult to find someone who can really talk to each other.

At that time, the emperor who was the crown prince was actually a person who valued family affection, at least he did not have murderous intent towards his brothers, even if it was a brother who competed with him for the throne, as long as he did not persecute him by despicable means, he was just a fair competition, even if he lost in the end, he was willing to give preferential treatment.

However, defeat is the defeat because he has such a concubine.

At that time, the relationship between his mother and the queen was very bad, and he was also in trouble with other concubines. Relying on his posture and the favor of the emperor once or twice, his mother concubine had her tail cocked to the sky. However, a little concubine dared to openly contradict the queen and other concubines, her words were indiscriminate, and she offended people everywhere, so he, a son, was also affected and isolated by many people.

That palace made him breathless and depressed.

Several times he wanted to escape. But there was no way for him to escape.

And not long after that, when he actually had a trace of longing for Zhou Ling, the emperor decreed that Zhou Ling was married to the crown prince as a side concubine, and he wanted to marry Jian An.

The youthful feelings of youth are actually not true. He did have a good impression of Zhou Ling. She is beautiful, her temperament is also extraordinary, her words are neither humble nor arrogant, and her conversation is elegant and polite, which is in stark contrast to her mother. So the young heart was a little pounding, but it was completely annihilated by a holy decree.

He was always afraid of his father's emperor, the holy decree had been issued, the wood had been completed, and the little heartbeat that had just risen was instantly snuffed out in the cradle.

And he began to force himself to accept Jian An.

Although he is not familiar with Jian An, he can't be regarded as liking, but Jian An is also a beautiful woman after all, and he can't be wronged as his wife.

But he later met Li Suqing.

He didn't know that Li Suqing approached him with a purpose, so he easily took the bait. All the qualities on Li Suqing's body seemed to be tailor-made for him, which made him very happy.

It was precisely because of this liking and trust that he credulously believed Li Suqing's nonsense that Jian An was stealing people behind his back, making him believe that he had to raise a son for the couple with a green hat.

Therefore, he couldn't get angry and tortured Jian An fiercely on the wedding night, so he ruthlessly pushed him away in the face of Ye Xici's closeness.

Fang Xiaoyu was a little silent. King An's temperament was more or less influenced by his mother's concubine.

In order to understand Ye Xici's origin, she deliberately sent someone to check, and she always remembered King An's mother.

This woman is arrogant and domineering in the palace, and she offends many people. She doesn't seem to be self-aware at all, as long as she has been favored by the emperor once, she thinks that she has the qualifications to be the mother of the world, and she makes enemies everywhere, and she even dares to refute the queen's face, she is really a bad person.

King An grew up under the hands of such a mother, it can be imagined.

Before Fang Xiaoyu could continue to say anything, some messy footsteps suddenly sounded outside. Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and the housekeeper walked in with a surprised face, and when he saw Fang Xiaoyu was there, he said, "Lord, princess, the emperor has arrived." ”

Fang Xiaoyu and King An were stunned at the same time, glanced at each other, and both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

They had just returned from attending a palace banquet in the palace. It's just been a short time since I entered the door, and the emperor has arrived?

It's not good to sleep in the palace in the middle of the night, what are you doing in the palace?

And listen to the butler, he is dressed plainly, and it seems that he came stealing? (To be continued.) )
