Chapter 159: Idealism
Yuran looked at Xie Jianbai who was shocked, her expression was still extraordinarily sassy, she didn't shy away from it, nodded in response, her voice sounded extraordinarily sincere, she said, "I am." β
"It turns out that this is the case!" Xie Jianbai seemed to be suddenly, "When the Ming Dynasty destroyed the country, the old man had regretted it, and the old man always felt that the jade girl had only made a fortune, and it was definitely not a thing in the pool, how could she die so easily?" Unexpectedly, it turned out that the princess turned out to be the regent of Ning Kingdom. But that's not right...... It is rumored that when the first monarch of Ning returned with Helian Yu, the third prince who had traveled abroad, Helian Yu was only sixteen years old? At that time, didn't the princess still ......" Speaking of this, Xie Jianbai was suddenly silenced, he was a smart person, and he soon realized that the truth behind the matter may not be simple.
Yuran's eyes opened and closed, and the tranquility and peace in her eyes made people not feel the slightest ripple, and her mood was very calm now.
Because Xie Jianbai fell into deep thought, Yu Ran turned his head and glanced at Changsun Hong first, but found that Changsun Hong was hanging his eyes on the side, not knowing what he was thinking silently.
Yu Ran paused, and said to the eldest grandson Hongqi: "Are you going to find Second Prince Xie?" β
"I'm ......" Changsun Hong just opened his mouth, and suddenly didn't know how to answer in front of Xie Jianbai, and suddenly felt embarrassed. But Changsun Hong's eyes staring at Yuran were still very transparent and clear, he had heard too much exciting news just now, and now he also had a lot of thoughts about Yuran's identity, he felt as if he understood, but he didn't seem to understand.
"Oh, not to mention anything else, I would like to know a little bit, why did the princess come with the prince?" Xie Jianbai was too shocked by the appearance of the jade dye just now, so he ignored this point all of a sudden, but now that he came back to his senses and thought about it carefully, he felt a little strange. Moreover, now that he knows that the jade dye is Ning Guo Helian jade, this makes Xie Jianbai can't help but think of the content of the emergency report that he has been thinking about just now. Xie Jianbai hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be ...... What does the news from the palace in the morning have to do with the princess? The minister really thinks that the prince of Xiang should not disobey the king. β
"Old man, you also know, of course this news is not true, my father will not do that!" When the eldest grandson Hong heard this, he immediately retorted angrily.
Of course, Yuran knew Changsun Hong's thoughts, she shook her head and sighed yes, then raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Changsun Hong, you're almost done." β
"I haven't said anything yet!" Because there were no outsiders present who made him particularly repulsed, Changsun Hong said a little breathlessly.
Yuran's expression was gentle, and she softened her tone as much as possible, "I know, I know, you're worried about your father, your father has never done anything to be sorry for Eldest Sun Yan." I believe everything you say more than anyone else. So, now you calm down first, and then go out for a walk, I'm here to talk to Xie Shangshu about something, there are some things that may be related to the prince, I need to know. Changsun Hong, you are a smart person, you should understand, the more you are in this time, you have to behave more firmly than anyone else, and you can't let others use your character and past as your flaws, you know? β
"Nanyu, I know everything you say." After listening to Yuran's words, Changsun Hong pursed his lips slightly, and he looked up at Yuran weakly.
Yu Ran chuckled and said, "Since you know, you can go out first, whatever you want, just don't make a mess of Xie Shangshu's house." β
"Where would I be!" Changsun Hong argued dissatisfiedly.
Xie Jianbai also interjected in a timely manner, "Where won't?" The last time he came to my Xie Mansion, he almost didn't overturn my old garden, and it was useless to even look at it from afar. Xie Jianbai shook his head and sighed.
"Don't mention him to me!" Changsun Hong had already calmed down a little for a while, but when Xie Jianbai mentioned the matter of getting along with Xie Yiyuan before, it instantly made him emotional, and then shouted out directly without holding it back. It wasn't until he looked up and saw Yu Ran looking at him with a complicated expression that he knew what he had said in front of Xie Jianbai, and immediately stopped his voice, his right hand clenched into a fist at his side, and the tighter he clenched, the green tendons on the back of his hand were also seen a lot more obviously.
Xie Jianbai hadn't reacted yet, Yu Ran sighed first, she looked at Changsun Hong, and silently raised her head in the direction of the outside, she held the folding fan in her right hand and gently tapped the side of Changsun Hong's arm, and then whispered to him: "Go out." β
"However, Nanyu ......" Changsun Hong struggled as if he wanted to say something, but was quickly interrupted by Yuran.
"Don't tell me anything about him anymore. Changsun Hong, you let yourself feel pain, and hesitate and refuse to let go, that is your decision, since others can't convince you, then you have to bear it yourself and find a way to solve it yourself. Even if you think that others can help you solve the superficial things, who can replace you to channel your own heart, this is not what I can do. Yu Ran stared at the hanging head of Changsun Hong and continued: "You go out now, whether you want to see Xie Yiyuan or not depends on your own decision, I don't need to force you to see him."
"You think that I asked you to come to Xie Mansion with me today because you are the prince of Xiang Wangfu, so I need your help to enter the gate of this Xie Mansion, then you are wrong. I'm not the kind of person who can't even do this. I asked you to come with me because I want you to see for yourself what you want to do. Eldest Sun Hong, you are no longer a child, you also know what happened to the Xiangwang Mansion in recent days, and you can no longer hide under the protection of the Xiangwang Mansion. β
Changsun Hong slowly raised his head, and his originally hazy and confused eyes suddenly became clear at this moment.
Yes, his father is in trouble, he has no way to hide in his father's shadow anymore, he has to rely on himself for everything he does now, every word and deed has to conform to the appearance of a prince of the royal family, he must be strong enough, how can he be defeated because of some small winds and waves?
What the hell is he doing now? Actually in Xie Mansion, losing his temper in front of Xie Jianbai is really ridiculous.
Xie Yiyuan was the best friend his eldest grandson Hong admitted, perhaps because he suddenly knew that Xie Yiyuan's betrayal had made him suddenly so devastated.
But Nanyu is not wrong!
Even if the apparent thing is finally resolved, he will still live with the resentment he is now, and fundamentally nothing will change. What's more, the current situation in the Xiangwang Mansion is so bad that his father has made too many efforts to keep the Xiangwang Mansion, and he is still fighting for his own grievances, which is really too much to say!
The eldest grandson Hong thought about it, and finally temporarily relieved his mood, he had just come all the way and endured it there, and Yu Ran was also chatting with him about other topics, I am afraid that Yu Ran knew from the beginning that he couldn't let go of the matter about Xie Yiyuan at all.
"Nanyu, I'm sorry." Eldest Sun Hong took a deep breath and apologized to Yuran for the first time.
The jade dye in front of her was calm, her eyes were dark and bright, and her eyebrows were still loose, but as long as she looked at her face, it made people inexplicably feel like she was seeing through her, which made Changsun Hongdeng's heart empty.
Yuran was not surprised, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, she raised her eyebrows again, and smiled at him and said, "Okay, don't pestle here, if you want to make trouble, go out and make trouble." β
"Oh, okay, thenβold man, I'll go out first." The eldest grandson Hong first responded to Yu Ran, and then raised his neck to look at Xie Jianbai who was standing behind Yu Ran, he didn't dare to look at Xie Jianbai's expression now, anyway, Yu Ran and Xie Jianbai are old friends, and Yu Ran asked him to go out, so it was better for him to go first.
When Changsun Hong went out, the two people in the room fell silent face to face.
Xie Jianbai and Yu Ran were both standing, and finally Xie Jianbai first stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture in the direction of the small round table on the side, and then said at the same time: "Princess, please sit down." β
"Thank you." Yuran's expression was indifferent, and he really picked a chair and sat down casually.
Xie Jianbai also sat opposite Yu Ran, he just listened to the conversation between Yu Ran and Eldest Sun Hong, as if he suddenly realized something in his heart, this matter must be related to his child Xie Yiyuan.
Seeing that Xie Jianbai was silent, Yu Ran slowly opened his lips and said: "Shang Shu came to Ming Xu when Yu Ran was sixteen years old, and presented a gift to Emperor Zhuan for Anjun at that time. β
Yu Ran didn't mention what happened with Changsun Hong just now, but just picked another topic to speak.
When Xie Jianbai heard this, he paused for a while, and seemed to listen to Yu Ran's words, of course he also heard the meaning of Yu Ran's change of topic. A few traces of complexity and emotion appeared in his eyes, so he put aside the matter just now for the time being, he nodded and said, "Indeed, the old man did have this intention at that time. I still remember clearly that the person who dissuaded me from going to Mingxu from Anguo was the princess. When Xie Jianbai said this, a smile appeared on his face again.
Yuran nodded and said with a smile: "Yes." β
"But thanks to the princess who dissuaded the old man at that time, otherwise the old man would probably not know where to go now. Although the old man is living a boring life now, and he no longer has the crazy pursuit of his career in the past, at least he is still living peacefully with his family. Xie Jianbai shook his head and sighed, but then Xie Jianbai was a flash of inspiration in his mind, his appearance has been a lot of vicissitudes, but those eyes are still sharp, he stared at Yuran's eyes, and suddenly said with a trembling voice: "The princess persuaded the old man not to go to Mingxu to be a minister, could it be ...... Did you already know that Ming Xu would soon perish? β
