As soon as the sky was bright, Yan Ran sat in the rickety carriage, drowsy.

Although it was summer, the wind in the early morning was still slightly cool.

Qingxuan carefully covered Yan Ran's body with a thin blanket, and her movements were very light, for fear of waking her up.

But the carriage was puzzled, the wheel rolled over a stone, and the whole carriage shook violently, waking Yan Ran up.

Qingxuan hurriedly supported Yan Ran and said with concern: "Girl, are you okay?" ”

Yan Ran rubbed her eyes, yawned, looked at the faint morning light outside, and asked, "Haven't arrived yet?" ”

Qingxuan shook her head, and her tone was slightly resentful: "It's the eldest prince who has hysteria, and Mrs. took him to worship the Buddha, why do you have to call us?" ”

Mrs. Yan has always been superstitious, and firmly believes that Yan Qiyou's delirious troubles are entangled in unclean things.

Wen took the opportunity to propose to go to Xiangguo Temple to worship the Buddha to wash away the filth, and said that he wanted the whole family to go together to show his sincerity.

Mrs. Yan was worried about her grandson, so she couldn't sleep peacefully all night, and she couldn't wait for dawn to get ready to travel.

So, Yan Ran was dug up from the bed by Qingxuan early in the morning and sat in the carriage sleepily.

Yan Ran yawned for a long time, and her plain and cold tone became much softer: "If you don't call us, Wen's painstaking planning will be in vain." ”

Yan Qiyou has been raised by Mrs. Yan's side since he was a child, although he is a little stubborn and spoiled, but he is not contaminated with Wen's cruel habits, and he is not close to Wen.

So he won't lie, he won't help Wen do evil, he really has hysteria, but it's not because he's sick.

Qingxuan's eyes were full of disbelief, and she exclaimed: "What does the girl mean is that the eldest son's hysteria was done by the lady?" ”

No wonder Qingxuan was surprised, what mother would take advantage of her child?

In fact, Wen's strategy is still good.

Through Yan Qiyou's hysteria, Mrs. Yan's panic was aroused, and then she took the opportunity to propose to worship the Buddha, while delaying Wen Chengyan's proposal to marry, and on the other hand, she could go to Xiangguo Temple to find Minyang to complain.

However, Yan Ran didn't expect that Wen would be so ruthless and drug his own son.

In the past, Yan Ran used Yan Qiyou, but he just drugged him, and then let people carry him to the Buddha Hall, making him think that it was caused by his sleepwalking.

But Wen actually gave Yan Qiyou a phantom medicine to make him hysterical.

Most of the main ingredients of the hallucinatory medicine are intoxicating flowers, and an overdose can be fatal, and Wen is not afraid that he will be poisoned and stupid, and he will have no reliance in the future?

Yan Ran pursed her lips, and her mind became chaotic again.

When the sky was bright, the people of Yanfu came to Xiangguo Temple, but they were stopped outside the mountain gate.

Xiao Shami explained: "There are distinguished guests visiting the temple, so the mountain gate is temporarily closed, so please come back in two days." ”

Old Madam Yan asked eagerly, "Which guest is it?" Maybe we know each other! ”

Xiao Shami did not hide it, and replied truthfully: "It's the Queen Mother and the eldest princess of Minyang." ”

Old Madam Yan immediately looked at the Wen family and said, "Wen, you and the eldest princess have always been close, you quickly ask the eldest princess for mercy and let us in." You'er is haunted by evil things, and she can't wait! ”

Of course, Old Madam Yan knew that the status of the Queen Mother and the eldest princess was noble, but in her eyes, no one was more important than her grandson.

Wen naturally wanted to see Minyang, so he pretended to be embarrassed by Mrs. Yan's words, and then said to the little novice: "This little master, please inform the eldest princess of Minyang, Wen Ruyu asks to see her." ”

At Wen's invitation, the little novice soon went and returned, inviting the group in.

The masters of the temple had just finished their morning class when the morning bell rang, low and distant, startling a crowd of birds.

Yan Ran walked in the temple, listening to the knocking sound of the wooden fish, smelling the faint fragrance of Buddha, and her heart was peaceful.

Old Madam Yan and Wen Shi, who were walking in front, were in a hurry, their eyes full of urgency.

Outside the Zen courtyard, the abbot master's lecture had just ended, and the queen mother walked out with the support of Minyang and Wen Chengyan.

Everyone in the Yan family stepped forward to salute, and the Queen Mother was full of kindness and excused herself.

Wen raised his head and saw that Wen Chengyan was also here, and his face couldn't help but change greatly.

Yan Ran was also slightly surprised, she didn't expect Wen Chengyan's movements to be so fast, and she actually caught up in front of Wen's.

The Queen Mother went back to her room to rest, Minyang called Wen away, Mrs. Yan and Master Yan took Yan Qiyou to find the abbot master, while Yan Ran and Yan Yao waited outside.

Yan Yao saw that Wen Chengyan came to Xiangguo Temple before them, and she didn't know if he had persuaded Minyang, she was very worried in her heart, and she couldn't help but regard Yan Ran as the culprit, glared at her viciously, and ran away.

Yan Ran also felt bored, so she wandered around the temple to visit.

On this day, there are no pilgrims in the temple, and you can hear the sound of chanting and wooden fish from afar, and the rustle of the leaves of the Bodhi tree in the breeze.

"Cousin Ran."

Yan Ran's leisurely good mood was completely destroyed by the oncoming Wen Chengyan.

There are no outsiders here, Yan Ran doesn't have to act, so she doesn't bother to pay attention to him, she just gives a hasty blessing, and her face is full of impatience.

Wen Chengyan was not repelled by Yan Ran's cold attitude, and still said with a smile on his face: "Cousin Ran, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Yan Ran said coldly: "Is there anything I can't say to you that I can't say to people?" ”

Wen Chengyan looked at Qingxuan and Xian Luo, who were following behind Yan Ran, and was slightly embarrassed, but seeing that Yan Ran had no intention of backing down, he said, "Okay, I think my cousin should already know about my marriage at the house, right?" ”

Yan Ran lowered her eyes and did not answer, looking careless.

Wen Chengyan continued: "I have asked for the consent of the emperor's grandmother, and the marriage should be nine out of ten, I don't know what my cousin wants?" ”

Yan Ran finally raised her eyes to look at Wen Chengyan, her cold eyes were full of sarcasm: "You even moved out of the Queen Mother, so you came to ask for my opinion, is it too late?" ”

If Wen Chengyan really cares about Yan Ran's intentions, the most important thing to ask for is her opinion, knowing that she has no intention of treating him, he shouldn't be entangled anymore.

Wen Chengyan knew that he was at a loss, and avoided Yan Ran's sharp gaze with a weak heart.

Yan Ran didn't let him go, and asked, "I don't want to, can this marriage be stopped?" ”

Wen Chengyan's eyes dodged and did not answer.

Yan Ran laughed: "Hypocrisy." ”

Wen Chengyan took a step forward, stopped Yan Ran, who was about to leave, and said earnestly: "Cousin Ran, I did this all for you. The second prince has ulterior motives for you, but the second prince is ......"

Wen Chengyan said, looked around vigilantly, and lowered his voice: "The second prince is quite ambitious, and he is not satisfied with his current position. Therefore, although he is interested in you, he will never marry you as a concubine. Once you fall into his hands......"

Yan Ran stopped and interrupted Wen Chengyan's words: "Do you want me to be grateful to you when you say this?" ”

Facing Yan Ran's disdainful gaze, Wen Chengyan finally couldn't help but erupt: "Why did you have such great malice towards me from the beginning, but what did Wen Rongan say to you?" ”

Without waiting for Yan Ran to answer, Wen Chengyan was angry again, but he had to suppress his voice and roar: "No matter what Wen Rongan said to you, no matter how good he said, he can't protect you!" Only I, the little grandfather of the Dingguo Mansion, the son of the eldest princess of Minyang, and I am deeply favored by the emperor and the queen mother, can protect you! ”

Yan Ran listened to Wen Chengyan's words, her heart swelled with infinite sadness, and she asked softly: "Really?" ”

Wen Chengyan was stunned, as if he was burned by the light but heavy sadness in Yan Ran's eyes, and only looked at her in a daze, forgetting what to say.

Yan Ran suddenly asked seriously: "Wen Chengyan, if I marry you, Xiao Zun will sit on the throne in the future, and he will ask you for me, if you don't agree, you will lose your title and be demoted to cloth, what will you do?" ”

Wen Chengyan was stunned by Yan Ran's sudden and whimsical question, and he was choked up for a while, unable to answer.

Yan Ran replied for him: "In order to keep your power, you will design me to fake my death, secretly send me into the palace, and become Xiao Zun's plaything." ”

"I won't!"

Almost at the same time as Yan Ran's words fell, Wen Chengyan couldn't help but shout.

He clenched his fists, the green tendons on his forehead flare up, and his always gentle and elegant appearance became a little hideous, as if he was angry because Yan Ran's words had been greatly insulted.

Yan Ran was very sure: "You will, so I hate you, hate you, and can't forgive you." ”

Wen Chengyan felt ridiculous, and laughed angrily: "How can you conclude that I will do such a dirty thing of selling my wife for glory because of my imagination?" ”

Yan Ran looked at Wen Chengyan quietly, with a complicated expression.

Does Wen Chengyan love her?

It must be love, she thought.

In order to marry her, he was not afraid of gossip and dared to fight against his mother, no matter how Wen framed her, he always firmly believed in her and protected her.

After getting married, he doted on her and protected her, even if she had nothing to do, he resolutely refused to take a concubine, fulfilling her romantic fantasy of a couple for the rest of her life.

He loves her, but his love is limited, and after all, he can't compete with his greed for power and compromise with his desires.

Yan Ran breathed a long sigh of relief, calmed down Wei Lan's mood, and said indifferently: "Buddhism has a saying, the reincarnation of heaven, and the cycle of cause and effect. I will do this to you because you failed me in your previous life. So, Wen Chengyan, I won't marry you. If you are interested and no longer entangled, the cause will be extinguished, and that's it. But if you continue to pester, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

Yan Ran is a person who has revenge, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.

Xiao Zun killed Wen Rong'an, so she asked Xiao Zun to pay for her life; Su Yu used her to test the medicine, and she asked Su Yu to suffer the same pain; Wen Chengyan betrayed her, so she wanted Wen Chengyan to do what she wanted!

Wen Chengyan looked at Yan Ran's back as he resolutely left, and the words of retention and rebuttal were like cotton choking in his throat.

Somehow, he couldn't refute it, couldn't explain it, inexplicably felt weak, and inexplicably remorseful.

He raised his hand and pressed it against his chest, which was aching.

Yan Ran got rid of Wen Chengyan, and was blocked by an internal official.

"Miss Yan, summoned by the Queen Mother."
