Mu Fan was full of anticipation, thinking that he would finally be able to see his Aunt Zhixi and his best friend Zichen again, but he didn't expect to see a strange woman, and he was even told that his good friend Zichen had died of typhoid fever for many years.

Of course, Mu was not satisfied with this answer at all, although Mu Fan was young at that time, he still had an impression of what his Aunt Zhixi looked like, and the woman in front of him was not similar to Yan Zhixi in terms of voice or figure.

Not to mention, even the attitude towards him was not the kind and gentle appearance of the year, but became the same as everyone else, both polite and flattering to him, and even a little cramped and unfamiliar.

Mu Fan is not as comfortable and warm as she used to be with her, how can a person with no sense of familiarity make Mu Fan believe that this is his Aunt Zhixi?

Even though everyone told him that this person was Yan Zhixi, Mu Fan still refused to believe it and ordered someone to investigate the truth thoroughly. But many years have passed, and the emperor and empress personally intervened in this matter, the truth has long been lost in the long river of time, no matter how good the secret guards sent are at investigating, but they can't find any clues, the anxious Mu Fan can't eat and sleep well for a few days and nights, and he has lost a few laps of weight.

In the end, Xu Changping couldn't stand it, so he had to tell him the truth secretly.

Xu Changping thought that he would make a big fuss and begged the emperor to order the cancellation of the marriage, but Mu Fan, who had ever wanted to know the truth, unexpectedly remained silent. Xu Changping couldn't help but guess that maybe for Mu Fan, sooner or later he would be arranged to marry one or even several concubines, as for who he wanted to marry, it didn't matter if he liked that person or not.

Mu Fan also lost his former kindness to the Fengyuan Marquis Mansion, and since then he has never mentioned Yan Zhixi and An Zichen in front of people, let alone the gate of the Fengyuan Marquis Mansion.

It was from then on that he became more and more eccentric, but in that indifference and ruthlessness, there was a sense of loneliness and loneliness, as if he had been abandoned by the world, and all the people close to him were gone, leaving him alone to live.

Xu Changping thought that Mu Fan would go on like this for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect that Mu Fan, who left the capital, gradually changed.

Of course, Xu Changping knew what Mu Fan had changed, precisely because he met Xia Yan, a seemingly ordinary country girl.

When Xu Changping knew that Xia Yan's mother was Yan Zhixi, he had to sigh that the sky had eyes, and Mrs. Hou Ye was not only safe and sound, but also gave birth to the child smoothly.

This child is really a girl, as the queen mother expected.

In other words, Xia Yan in front of them was the child who was given marriage back then.

Although Xu Changping and David Liang were curious about what happened back then, it can be seen that Yan Zhixi didn't want to mention the past, and they didn't want to ask any more.

But no matter what, Xia Yan and Mu Fan are both a couple with a marriage contract, and Xu Changping is of course happy for the two to tie the knot. What's more, anyone with a discerning eye can see that these two children have a good impression of each other, but one doesn't quite understand his own thoughts, and the other is not good at making the girl happy, so that they haven't exchanged hearts until now.

Of course, all this is based on the fact that Mu Fan stays in Bianxi Village forever and never plans to return to the capital.

After all, before Mu Fan left Beijing, he completely annoyed the emperor, and they all thought that Mu Fan would never have the opportunity to return to Beijing from now on, at most he would be an idle prince, and he would not even have a fief.

An almost forgotten prince has no need to marry at all, and who cares who he makes a marriage contract with, let alone who his concubine is.

As for the so-called eldest lady of the Marquis Fengyuan Mansion who made a marriage contract with Mu Fan, I am afraid that she hopes that Mu Fan will not go back, so she might as well ask His Majesty to issue an order to abolish this marriage contract as soon as possible, so that she can choose a good monarch again.

Xu Changping heard that the eldest lady has caught up with the current prince, and it seems that she wants to be the crown princess very much. Everything is ready, and she only has one chance to break the marriage.

Marquis Fengyuan wrote more than once to ask the emperor to dissolve the marriage contract on the grounds that the marriage contract was given to the crown prince by the queen's mother, not the current three princes, and the daughter was re-ordered to be given to the current prince.

But I don't know for what reason, His Majesty the Emperor almost responded to the requests of the Marquis of Fengyuan, who is now in full swing, but this matter has never been agreed.

He even released a message to warn Feng Yuanhou that he had not yet reached the point of being dizzy with old eyes, so he naturally knew who the marriage contract was for, and hoped that Feng Yuanhou would never think about dissolving the marriage contract between the two again.

The marriage of the two is Queen Chen's last wish, if anyone dares to disobey, then he has to be sent to accompany him under Jiuquan.

Compared with his daughter's lifelong events and his own future and life, of course Feng Yuanhou chose the latter, and from then on he obediently admitted it, and never mentioned anything about dissolving the marriage contract.

But Xu Changping knew that Marquis Fengyuan's heart must be more disappointed than everyone else.

Originally, he was the father-in-law who could be the future emperor and the future father-in-law of the country, but before he was happy for a few years, the emperor changed the crown prince.

If the father-in-law can't do it, it doesn't matter, judging from the current development, I'm afraid that even being an ordinary prince has become a luxury.

As the saying goes, it is better to destroy a temple than to break up a marriage, His Majesty the Emperor will make a wish for the queen, but he wants to break up the two pairs of lovers.

Although Mu Fan has a marriage contract, after all, he has not yet reached the age of marriage, and he is far away in Qin County, if the emperor decrees the marriage, he will not go back, and the emperor will change this will.

But I don't know what kind of demonic wind was blowing suddenly, the emperor actually remembered Mu Fan, wrote a secret edict to summon him back, and even specially reminded them to return to Beijing quietly and not to alarm anyone.

Because of this special reminder, Xu Changping knew that this time he called Mu Fan back definitely not because of the matter of marriage, after all, the eldest lady had not yet reached the end of the marriage, and it was far from the time when the marriage could be consummated. What's more, even if you want to get married, you should go back with great fanfare, and it is impossible to let all this be done in secret.

Thinking about it, now the place where the whole Huaguo uses Mu Fan is afraid is only the west.

Huaguo has been at war with the wilderness for many years, and it has already reached the point of running out of ammunition and food, and the treasury is empty, and the soldiers are not even able to fill their stomachs.

Looking at the entire country, I am afraid that only Mu Fan has the financial resources to solve this crisis.

The large inheritance left by Empress Chen has always been in Mu Fan's hands, and the emperor has never had their mind.

Others were curious about why the emperor allowed Mu Fan to squander the money with a lot of money and never asked, but Xu Changping had already figured out his thoughts.

Through the efforts of his subordinates, the silver was much more than before the death of the queen immortal.

The manpower left by the queen is only at Mu Fan's disposal, and even the current saint can't interfere with their actions.

When the silver is useless, the ownership is Mu Fan's, and when it is time to use the silver, as long as Mu Fan is sent out and does not give him a penny, whether it is the people under him or the silver in his hands, it will naturally be used by the emperor.

I have to say that His Majesty the Emperor's wishful thinking is really loud.

But according to Xu Changping's understanding of Mu Fan, it is not good to say who suffers from this kind of thing.

If the emperor just wanted Mu Fan to give money, Xu Changping didn't have much opinion, after all, as the prince of Huaguo, he should also contribute to the country.

But Xu Changping found out according to the information he collected that there was no one in the west who could lead troops to fight at this time.

The previous few generals were either killed on the battlefield or fought countless defeats, and they had already been escorted back to Beijing to be guilty, and now the west is a hot potato, and no one in the entire court not only wants to go, but no one dares to go.

How many victories have you won? There is little hope.

What if it fails? I'm afraid that what awaits them will either die on the battlefield or come back and be punished by the emperor.

Now the generals of the Chinese Kingdom pray every day that they will not be ordered by the emperor, and they do not want their good future to be ruined in the west.

No one wanted to lead troops, and the treasury had no money to spare, so the saint naturally remembered his good son who was at large. Not only is it rich and rivals the country, but its identity is also noble, and it is perfect to lead an army. As for whether Mu Fan has any experience in battle, whether he can convince everyone, and whether he will explain himself there, Xu Changping doesn't know if the emperor has considered these things.

It stands to reason that Mu Fan was remembered by the emperor again, and planned to take on a heavy responsibility, Xu Changping and his subordinates should be happy, but this is not the case.

Before her death, Empress Chen specially instructed them that she only hoped that Mu Fan would grow up safely and peacefully, and did not want him to be involved in danger.

If the position of the crown prince is done, these people will do their best to assist him to become a generation of Ming monarchs, if he has no chance to be on the throne in this life, then he will live a peaceful life with his heart.

Of course, Mu Fan didn't know his mother's intentions, and Xu Changping would not tell him this according to Empress Chen's wishes.

At this time, if Mu Fan chooses to return to Beijing, it is not only as simple as being sent to a dangerous place.

If he had three longs and two shorts in the west, what hope would those of them who followed Mu Fan have to live?

If he returns safely, I'm afraid that what awaits him is to marry the eldest lady of Fengyuan Houfu.

Of course, Xu Changping didn't want anything to happen to Mu Fan, and he also knew that Mu Fan would definitely not agree to marry someone else.

At that time, if he had a quarrel with His Majesty the Emperor, his situation would not be comparable to what it is now.

After all, Bianxi Village is a small remote place, the emperor is far away, and the saint has nothing to do with him, he will definitely not send heavy troops to take him back, if he only sends a few soldiers and a few pawns, the secret guards raised by Mu Fan can send them away, and he can naturally be a soil emperor in this Xicun Village.

If Mu Fan resists the decree at the feet of the Son of Heaven and wants to leave when the emperor is angry, I am afraid it will be a little too late.
