Chapter 065: Speculation
On the way back to the palace, Leng Chen sat in the chariot, Leng Yang rode Wuyue and followed the chariot, the window was slightly open, and Leng Chen could be seen lying on his side in the car through the window crack, with a blanket on his legs, his eyes were closed, his face was very calm, and he couldn't see the waves at all.
Leng Yang couldn't help but ask, "Big brother...... What do you say Princess Ning wants to do, so many princes and nobles were rejected by her, and she invited you and me alone, counting the nine cold winter days, and boating on the lake...... It's boring! ”
Hearing Leng Yang's nagging, Leng Chen still closed his eyes, but the corner of his mouth showed a smile and said: "They are drunkards, not ...... drinking."
"What do you mean, big brother?"
"Do you really think it's monolingual and would rather go boating on the lake like this? She's just a pawn, a front to bring you and me out. On the contrary, the real initiator should be her eldest brother Shan Lin...... "Leng Chen was very calm, and it seemed that everything was expected by him.
"Shan Lin? Is this to be vassal and elegant? I didn't understand it, and I became more and more confused...... So what does he mean by that? Leng Yang became more and more confused, staring at Leng Chen and waiting for his reply.
Leng Chen opened his eyes, slowly sat up straight, straightened his clothes, leaned on the baffle in the car, and then said slowly: "From his words and demeanor, don't you feel his ambition?" ”
Leng Yang nodded: "I can hear it, this person is very ambitious, and he is by no means a good type!" ”
"That's it, the reason why he asked you and me out is to test us, and to find a breakthrough......
"Breakthrough?" Leng Yang frowned, not knowing why.
"It is to find someone who can support him in the country of ten thousand acres, and he will definitely be the husband of Shan Yuning in the future...... To put it bluntly, it is a candidate for the crown prince, her husband must be from you and me, he has seen my crippled body, and it must be you who likes it at this time...... The second brother still needs to be cautious, this brother and sister will not be simple......"
After listening to Leng Chen's analysis, Leng Yang suddenly realized, but he turned angry: "Does this Shan Lin not care about his sister's feelings at all?" Did you bring her here just to pave the way for yourself? ”
Leng Chen smiled faintly: "Since ancient times, the daughters of the emperor's family are most likely to have this kind of fate, even if they are born like flowers and jade, they still can't escape being victims of the men's power struggle...... Isn't that what condensation is all about......"
Seeing that Leng Chen mentioned condensation, Leng Yang was also lost, the person she was going to marry was Shan Lin, the prince of the Kelan Kingdom who she had just met, but she disappeared mysteriously on the way to Heqin, and her life and death were unknown...... can only tell the world that he died violently, and he got off the mound of clothes, and he did it so hastily. But this matter is not over for Leng Chen and Leng Yang, both of them are collecting any clues related to condensation in private, but unfortunately, they have not been found, until Ruo'an appears, it is still empty joy.
"Big brother, I don't want to be manipulated, and I don't want to marry that single woman!" Leng Yang's temper rushed up, his brows furrowed and he spoke sharply, Leng Chen made a silent gesture and said: "Don't talk about this matter again, there are many people in front of you, and it won't be good if it spreads......"
As soon as Leng Yang looked up, he realized that he had come to the gate of the palace, and the guards were lined up in two rows, holding torches high, waiting for their convoy to enter.
"Today's battle is big enough, I guess there will be some action again......" Leng Chen smiled lightly, opened the curtain and looked out, sure enough, Father-in-law Tian Rong came over with a few little eunuchs, and bent down and saluted: "Please ...... the two highnesses."
"Father-in-law Tian get up, what do you need to guard at the palace gate late at night?" Leng Chen asked.
"Back to His Royal Highness, the slave served the will of the queen mother, and specially waited for the second highness's ...... here" said and turned his head to Leng Yang on the side and continued: "Second Highness, the queen mother is worried about you, I heard that you went boating in the lake, so I sent the servants to wait here, and when I wait for the second highness, I must ask you to go back to comfort the pain of the queen's thoughts." ”
"The Queen Mother?" Leng Yang was stunned, this queen mother had lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she actually knew everything about what was happening outside...... The speed with which the news circulates is staggering...... But it's no wonder, after all, Queen Shan Luo and Shan Lin are aunts, and the speed of news circulation is understandable, but although Leng Yang understands, he is really resistant in his heart.
"It's too late, I won't go, I will say goodbye to the queen mother for me, saying that I will visit the ...... tomorrow" Leng Yang responded, riding the moon and about to enter the door, but was stopped by Tian Rong: "Second Highness, the queen has an order, order the slaves to be sure to guard to His Royal Highness, take you to Jingren Palace, Your Highness will be considerate of the slaves, and go with the slaves!" Tian Rong said that he was going to take the reins of Wuyue, how could Wuyue be a horse that was allowed to be touched by others? Seeing Tian Rong's ill-intentioned approach, Wuyue let out a long roar, picked up his front hooves and was about to kick towards Tian Rong, Leng Yang was also startled on the horse's back, and was almost thrown off the horse, and hurriedly tightened the reins to stop Wuyue's willfulness.
Tian Rong was shocked and sweated, he had long known the power of Wuyue, but the queen's order could not be disobeyed, and he forgot about it in a hurry, if it was in normal times, he would not touch Wuyue, because Wuyue only recognized Leng Yang alone.
Seeing that everyone was deadlocked, Leng Chen cleared his throat and said to Leng Yang: "Since the queen wants to see you, you can go, it is disrespectful to let the queen mother wait for a long time, and it is unfilial piety to make her sad, the second brother should go quickly......"
"But......" Leng Yang wanted to speak and stopped, he was very resistant to his queen mother, since he was very young, he couldn't remember why he hated her so much, but that feeling has always been there, so since he was a child, the closest people he left were Leng Chen and Leng Siyi......
"Go ahead...... Father-in-law Tian has worked hard......" Leng Chen said and instructed Aunt Qiao'er, who was accompanying her, to take some broken silver and hand it to Tian Rong, who responded: "Your Highness Xie will reward ......"
"New Year's Eve, it's auspicious, and I hope that Grandpa Tian won't be too ......," Leng Chen said with a smile.
"Look at what His Highness said, where is the matter...... The minions thanked His Highness...... Tian Rong said and saluted, but his eyes still glanced at Leng Yang, as if he would fly away if he didn't look at it.
Seeing that Leng Chen also persuaded himself like this, Leng Yang reluctantly responded: "Forget it, let's go with you...... What a hassle! ”
Seeing that Leng Yang agreed, Tian Rong was naturally very happy, hurriedly got up, hurriedly saluted Leng Chen, and left with Leng Yang first.
Leng Chen sat back into the car, and said softly: "Return to the palace......" The group entered the imperial city like this, and disappeared into a dark night.
