Chu Yan hardly slept all night. Ever since he returned to Uncle Anjing's residence, he called up his staff and began to re-discuss his future plans. In fact, most of the staff were opposed to Chu Yan's exposing himself to the public now, thinking that it was not conducive to the form, so Chu Yan fought against everyone's opinions, and the discussion tonight came about.
After it was over, it was already daybreak, and Chu Yan took Lian Xin to Ruyun Temple non-stop. On the way, Lian Xin hesitated and said, "If you do this, the Seventh Prince may not agree easily."
"Whether he agrees or not, I will do it. Besides, I have a way to make him nod." Chu Yan's eyes were dark blue and black, and he was determined to do this matter.
Lian Xin knew that his master was a stubborn one, and he believed that things would not change easily, so he didn't try to persuade him any more, and changed his words: "My son, Xiao Lin and Zuo Sima have been walking around quite frequently recently, and they seem to be quite close. .”
Xiao Lin is the eldest brother of Princess Jing Xiao's natal family and the current head of the Xiao family, while Da Sima is the father of the fourth prince and concubine, and the serious father-in-law of the fourth prince.
Prince Jing has always maintained a neutral attitude towards seizing the heirloom these years, and he is not close to anyone, but following the actions of the Xiao family, Prince Jing has the heart to move closer to the fourth prince. This is particularly unwise, and it is especially unwise for Chu Yan to would like to see. Chu Yan was not worried about Prince Jing, but was afraid that his ancestor's family business would be wiped out by Prince Jing all at once.
Therefore, Chu Yan twirled the wrench between his fingers with one hand, and said lightly: "Anyone who is disobedient and useless should just die."
"Your subordinate understands." Lian Xin knew in his heart that he was afraid that the eldest son was going to attack the concubine.
All the way up the mountain, Chu Yan quietly entered the back door of Ruyun Temple. The boy guarding the door saw that it was Chu Yan, and immediately led him to see the Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince was punching, and when he saw Chu Yan coming, he knew something was wrong. He stopped his movements immediately, and walked towards Chu Yan while wiping his sweat with a towel: "Why are you here so early?"
The Seventh Prince has a dignified appearance and a personable manner in his actions. He really looks like a cultivator, only a pair of not so indifferent pupils reveals his ambition.
Chu Yan walked side by side with the seventh prince, implying something: "You have been punching more and more absent-minded recently."
The Seventh Prince threw the scarf to the guards behind him, glanced at the distant mountain, and sighed: "The power behind the Fourth Emperor should not be underestimated, but now there is King Qin coming menacingly, I am also worried."
Of course, Chu Yan knew why the Seventh Prince was worried, so he said, "According to the emperor's current attitude, I am afraid that the King of Qin will be reused as soon as he enters the capital. Although the Fourth Prince is not to be feared, but behind him The power should not be underestimated. King Qin is different from the sixth prince, and it will be difficult for us to imagine enjoying the benefits of being a fisherman like before. Therefore, it is time for us to float above the water."
Take the initiative? The Seventh Prince's mind moved, and the brilliance in his eyes suddenly appeared: "Let's listen." In fact, he himself has noticed that he seems to have reached a bottleneck recently. If he can win over, he has already won over, but there are many people I was still worried that he was not strong enough, so I hesitated.
Chu Yan waved away the guards and Daotong who followed, and walked out of Ruyun Temple with the Seventh Prince. On the mountain path, Chu Yan's voice was cold and steady: "In the past, what we were worried about was that we had too much power in the dark all these years, enough to shake up the entire court structure. If we put it on the table all at once, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the emperor. But now the King of Qin It is a very good time for us to enter Beijing."
…
Eloquently, Chu Yan expressed all his thoughts.
After hearing this, the Seventh Prince was deeply convinced, and he agreed with his aspirations: "Since that's the case, I will do as you said. If you use the uncle's power to return to the center of the political situation, no one should suspect anything. When you finish setting up the situation secretly , I will find another suitable opportunity to return to the palace."
After a pause, the Seventh Prince suddenly turned his head to look at Chu Yan: "However, why did you suddenly think of this?" It's not that he doesn't believe in Chu Yan, the two of them have been in love since childhood, and he knows Chu Yan's personality best He was just curious why Chu Yan suddenly thought so. After all, he had been unable to hold back and wanted to go back to the palace several times before, but Chu Yan stopped him.
Chu Yan knew what the Seventh Prince meant, and said frankly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. My concubine, who has never been married, is a person who attracts people's attention. If it wasn't because I wanted to stand in front of her and protect her, I wouldn't have thought about it now. Just stand out."
The relationship between the two of them can be as strong as ever, relying on mutual honesty and trust.
After hearing Chu Yan's words, the Seventh Prince sighed with relief: "Since Aunt Chen left, your temper has changed a lot. My concubine and I have talked about it many times, and even I thought you were going to become a Buddhist." Well, I didn't expect that you are also sentimental."
Chu Yan took a deep breath of the fresh air on the mountain, looked at the lush trees on the mountain, and felt relieved: "Everyone will change. After that incident, didn't His Highness understand a lot? "
The Seventh Prince's movements froze, and no one had mentioned that incident to him for many years. Listening to what Chu Yan said now, the Seventh Prince is no longer as sad as he was at the beginning.
"This is the helplessness of being in the emperor's house! But I'm lucky. I knew the emperor's intentions early on. Otherwise, if I have been foolishly thinking that I am really the emperor's favorite prince, I am afraid that I will be the emperor's favorite prince in the end." I don't know how he died."
Chu Yan patted the Seventh Prince's shoulder: "I mentioned it because I was afraid that you haven't thought about it until now."
The seventh prince naturally understood what Chu Yan meant, but he didn't intend to continue talking about this topic: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, there is one more thing you need to prepare for, I'm afraid it's going to be an engagement."
After hearing what the Seventh Prince said, Chu Yan made a rare joke: "What? Is there a girl you like?"
"I'm stuck in this Taoist temple all day long, how can there be any girl I like?" The Seventh Prince shook his head and smiled wryly: "It's just that my uncle's cousin has reached the age of marriage, so I should marry her so that my uncle can rest assured."
"Aren't you going to find someone you really like?" Chu Yan didn't think about this question before, but he had already engaged in marriage twice, and he had experience, so he naturally knew the difference between liking and disliking.
The Seventh Prince shrugged indifferently: "If you meet someone you like in the future, you can take it into the mansion."
After hearing what the Seventh Prince said, Chu Yan did not refute the Seventh Prince's point of view, but remained silent.
Chu Yan felt that if he really liked someone, he would never want to wrong her.
It's just that Chu Yan wouldn't talk about this with the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince was different from him. He could choose not to wrong himself or the woman he liked, but the Seventh Prince couldn't.
