If there is one thing that the emperor regrets the most in this life, it is that when the girl from the Liu family became the concubine, he found out that the prince was not right with her, but he just took a chance, thinking that this son has always disliked daughters. However, he didn't expect that he still made a wrong move. The Liu family's move almost ruined his half-life plan!
"I'm just worried that with such a big fanfare, my elder brother will be impulsive. After all, I don't want to see him sink in the mud."
Qin Yan's voice was calm, before he finished speaking, he looked at the person on the bed firmly, "Father now only needs to rest and rest, don't worry about the rest."
Panting hard, the emperor seemed a little tired, and finally closed his eyes, "My illness seems to be exacerbated by injuries, but in fact it is very strange, but I have searched inside and outside the palace and found no clues, you tell me , Who is it that took so much pains?"
He is not a fool, no matter how bad his health is, he will not fall ill so quickly, and even the imperial doctor can't tell. body.
"I do have doubts, but I still need to investigate. Father just needs to rest in peace." Qin Yan said seriously.
The person on the bed didn't speak any more, just waved his hands slowly, until he heard the sound of the distant footsteps, he opened his eyes suddenly, and a gleam of light flashed in his dull pupils.
Even for the sake of the country, he couldn't let his son continue to be infatuated with Liu Yin.
After leaving the Qianqing Palace, it was still raining lightly outside. As soon as Wang Hai saw him coming out, he quickly bowed to greet him, "Your Highness is tired all the way, why don't you go back to the palace to rest?"
Looking at the rainy sky, the man suddenly said: "From today onwards, anyone who enters and exits the Qianqing Palace must be checked by the imperial doctor."
Wang Hai was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded, "I understand."
He also felt that the emperor's illness was strange, but he couldn't find any mistakes, presumably His Royal Highness must have some clues, but looking at the direction where the other party left, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although it was not his own, but His Highness is right The queen empress really didn't say that it was so late, and she still had to go to the Changchun Palace to pay her respects.
The drizzle in the middle of the night seemed to be washing away the dirt of the imperial city, and a silent atmosphere enveloped everyone's hearts.
—
Liu Yin returned to Beijing on the second day after Qin Yan left, but even though the people below promised her to return to Beijing, they refused to speed up no matter what, as if she was afraid that her wound would worsen, she did not return until five days later. to the capital.
At this time, the capital city was much colder. People on the road were wearing autumn jackets, and there were twice as many guards patrolling than usual. It can be seen that something must have happened. Liu Yin did not return to the palace, but was going to go back first. In her own home, she had to ask about some things. Since she was going to be brought in, she shouldn't hide everything from her.
"Crown Princess, the Liu residence is here."
Zhang Man's voice came from outside the house, Liu Yin opened the curtain and carefully stepped off the carriage. The first thing he entered was the two lifelike stone lions in front of the door, and the word "Liu Mansion" on the plaque in front of the door was also majestic. Atmospheric, there has never been a moment to go home like this moment, Liu Yin only feels that the mood is extraordinarily complicated.
Maybe she wasn't the real Liu Yin, and she didn't grow up here. She couldn't feel the weight of the family, and couldn't understand some of his father's actions.
"Too... Crown Princess..." The servant at the door suddenly changed his face when he saw the person coming.
This seemed to be the first time he returned home after getting married, and he didn't bring a gift, Liu Yin was a little embarrassed, but it would be the same next time.
It's already Shen Shi, and her father should be in the mansion at this time, when Liu Yin entered, Xu heard the news of her return, Liu Guozheng and Zhang Shi both immediately came out to welcome her, the woman wrapped her tightly in a plain cloak Yan Shishi's body is not thin, and seeing this, the hearts of the two people are gradually relieved.
"Why did you come back alone, girl? I don't know if someone will tell you. His Highness said that you were injured and didn't come back with him. How is it? Is the injury serious?"
Facing her mother's series of questions, Liu Yin naturally hugged her arm and said with a smile: "If I am seriously injured, how can I still stand here? Come back and see, do you want me as a daughter if you have a brother?"
Several people went to the inner room together, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but raised her hand and nodded her forehead, with a face of reproach, "You are sharp-tongued, your aunt has already told you, and you haven't invited her a few times in the palace." Ci'an, I have never seen such a lazy girl like you."
"It's this hour and you still don't go back to the palace. There are no rules or rules." Liu Guozheng also frowned and stared at her, but there was helplessness in his eyes.
Liu Yin curled her lips, followed into the back room and poured herself a cup of tea, behaved well, the queen and the prince didn't care about her rules, who would she show these rules to.
After taking a sip of tea, she also remembered the business, her expression gradually became serious, and she turned her eyes to the middle-aged man beside her, "I came here this time just to know something, and I hope daddy won't keep me a secret, what exactly are you and aunt going to do?" ? Why did you ask me to drag the prince and prevent him from returning to Beijing?"
After the words fell, the atmosphere in the whole room changed. Zhang and Zhang looked at each other, and their expressions suddenly became solemn. Liu Guozheng also stood directly in front of the window with his hands behind his back, frowning his thick eyebrows, and his face with Chinese characters was obscure.
Seeing that they refused to speak, Liu Yin also got up and looked at the two of them with burning eyes, "I know that my parents are doing it for my own good, but if you don't tell me anything, how do I know what I'm doing?"
The loud words moved the hearts of the two of them. Mrs. Zhang also looked at her daughter with complicated eyes. I don't know when, her daughter has gradually grown up and has her own ideas. She is no longer the one who only chases after the prince. My little girl, but she is still a child after all, and she doesn't understand many things.
"Father didn't tell you just because he didn't want you to be burdened." Liu Guozheng said suddenly.
Liu Yin's gaze paused, "How does father know that I have no burden now?"
Now she has no choice between the Liu family and Qin Yan. No matter which side she chooses, it is wrong. If she doesn't even let her know the truth, what will she do in the future
Looking at the slender daughter in front of him, Liu Guozheng tightened his palms, and finally sighed softly, "Your aunt asked you to do this for your own good. The emperor has long wanted to kill you, and he has been suppressing the Liu family these days." , Dad will be breathless, if this continues, the Liu family will be destroyed sooner or later, and your aunt... has nothing to do."
Hearing that helpless voice, Liu Yin was stunned for a moment, a little unable to recover, not knowing what to think of, and his expression changed instantly.
"Your aunt is very careful in doing things, and she hasn't revealed any flaws so far. The emperor's body is getting worse every day. Logically speaking, it should only happen in the past few days. That's why your brother runs into the palace every day, just to To prevent accidents." Mrs. Zhang also sighed.
As if a string had been broken in her head, Liu Yin looked at the two in disbelief, never thought that the Queen would be so courageous, to dare to do this!
"Is Daddy crazy?!" She still couldn't recover, and suddenly remembered what Qin Yan said when he left. It seems that he knew about it a long time ago, so her aunt...
"We didn't do this for the sake of the Liu family. Father's personal honor and disgrace is a matter of life and death, but the Liu family's existence today is the foundation accumulated by your ancestors. If it is destroyed in father's hands, how do you ask me to go underground to meet the Liu family in the future?" Ancestors!"
Liu Guozheng flicked his sleeves suddenly, Guozi's face was tense, even if he died, he couldn't let his ancestor's foundation be destroyed in his own hands.
The room fell silent for a moment, Liu Yin opened her mouth and looked very dignified. Indeed, she has no sense of family honor and doesn't understand these missions. She just doesn't want anything to happen to the original owner's parents. How could she have no feelings for so long? She must not just watch Something happened to them.
"Besides, it is a good thing that the crown prince can ascend the throne earlier. Our Liu family has always been loyal to the emperor and served the country. If the emperor hadn't been pressing hard, we would not have made such a bad move. What's more, he still wants to get rid of you. How can parents feel at ease?" Mrs. Zhang said earnestly.
Glancing at the two with complicated eyes, Liu Yin tightened his palms, walked slowly to the door, and suddenly turned around, with a crisp voice, "I don't want to take advantage of the prince's elder brother, and I won't help the Liu family. I hope my parents don't make me worry."
If something happened to her parents, how could she be alone.
Ignoring the two complicated gazes behind her, she opened the door and walked out directly. The application time was almost past, and she had to go back before the palace gate was locked.
The cool wind was piercing, and the entire palace was surprisingly quiet, like the tranquility before the storm. Candles were lit early in the East Palace. Liu Yin could already guess that if she returned to the palace early, the prince would definitely teach her a lesson. I just don't know what's going on with the queen now, and how Qin Yan plans to deal with her aunt's drugging.
Her mood was suddenly a little heavy, but when she saw the candles in Ting Yu Pavilion brightly lit, she suddenly became curious. Could it be that Mammy Liu is so powerful that she knew she was back so soon
When the palace people outside saw her coming back, they hurriedly bowed down and saluted. Looking at the familiar courtyard, Liu Yin gradually felt fuller, but when she stepped into the inner hall, she saw a familiar figure sitting on the soft couch, The man was dressed in a white robe and held a book. Under the dim candlelight, his handsome and three-dimensional silhouette became more and more eye-catching.
I didn't expect him to be waiting here so early in the morning. If I think about it, if I go back to Beijing by myself, how could the people below not tell their Highness the Crown Prince.
Holding her breath, she raised the hem of her skirt and approached the man lightly, until she came behind him step by step, then suddenly stretched out her hand to cover his eyes, and said in a rough voice: "Assassin, quickly catch him!"
There was a slight coolness in the soft palm, the man grabbed the white wrist with his backhand, pulled him into his arms and sat down, and immediately met a pair of sly bright eyes, "Little spy."
He raised his hand and knocked on her forehead, and the latter yelled out in pain while clutching her shoulders, "Oh, it hurts... It must be bleeding again... ·"
Qin Yan didn't speak, just stared at the cunning person in front of him.
After touching Porcelain enough, Liu Yin smiled and stretched out her arms around his waist, tilted her head up, and there seemed to be starlight in her eyes, "Did Brother Prince miss me?"
The man continued to look at the book in his hand. Although he didn't say a word, the sharp and angular outline softened a lot.
Seeing that the person didn't speak, Liu Yin got up from him again, stretched out two fingers and made a small gesture, "But what should I do if I miss the prince brother a little bit?"
