Chapter 389

Palace, imperial study.

"Long live, Princess Hua, please see you."

Since Zhangjia was copied and the three princes were exiled, other princes and concubines clamped their tails. In addition, the Spring Festival was about to begin, and the civil and military ministers were not hopping. Emperor Yan Shengzhi was finally quite clean. However, as an emperor with insufficient talent and relying on hard work, Yan Shengzhi's busy life can be imagined. He was not in good health because the new year was approaching Even more thin, outsiders may not see, a little bit of medical know that no matter how much maintenance, he may not live for a few years.

"Well? What is he doing here

Hearing Zhang Dezi's announcement, Yan Shengzhi, who was buried in a pile of memorials, raised his head suspiciously. Chu Yunhan, who accompanied him to review the memorials, stood up with Xiao Qi: "Your Majesty, I suddenly think that there is something left to be done in the back palace. Come back later."

After that, regardless of whether he agreed or not, Chu Yunhan gave him a salute and left with Xiao Qi. Looking at their backs, Yan Shengzhi couldn't help shaking his spirits. After a while, he closed his eyes and threw away his cinnabar pen: "let him in."

He pressed his finger on his sore temple, and Yan Shengzhi's mind kept guessing what was wrong with Yan Xiaohua at this time. He loved and avoided Yan Xiaohua because he had married the Third Prince of the western state. A few years ago, there was a war between the western state and the Qing state. Lao Jiu led the troops to fight, but they lost. They lost on weapons As soon as they met the fine steel swords of the soldiers of the Western Kingdom, they were cut off instantly. If it wasn't for Lao Jiu's bravery, they were afraid that the whole army would be destroyed. Since then, they have been very afraid of the western country and dare not to start a war. Undoubtedly, the marriage between the three princes of the West has brought peace to them. With this marriage, the trade between the West and the Qing countries has become more frequent in recent years. They and the northern barbarians have been in frequent contact There is no need to worry about the Western parliament seizing the opportunity to attack the war. On the whole, there are many advantages. The only thing that worries him is Yan Xiaohua. After all, he is the son of the second emperor's younger brother, not his own. In case the second emperor's younger brother is against him, or Yan Xiaohua is addicted to sikongjue's beauty and is bewitched by him, things will undoubtedly become very bad, but these are all Yan Xiaohua's performance is not bad. He not only keeps the third prince, but also does not lose the dignity of the prince of Qing. Although I heard that he seems to have changed recently, it should be because of the child's illness? After all, he has only one son at present, and everyone will be worried.

"See your majesty, long live my emperor

After a while, Yan Xiaohua came in under the leadership of Zhang Dezi. Yan Shengzhi raised a smile and said, "it's all a family. Don't be polite. Xiaohua can sit down."

Yan Xiaohua is one of the best in this generation. He always wanted him to be his son. But I can only think about it. But now, he is as good as his seven in all aspects. Besides, Xiao Qi is only ten years old, and there is infinite possibility that he will grow more reliable than him in the future.

"Thank you."

Yan Xiaohua lowered his eyebrows and obeyed his eyes. He didn't take his manners seriously. If he really dared not to salute him, he could not tell how to suspect him, even his father and his brothers.

"Why did Xiao Hua suddenly enter the palace today? Is the child better off? "

looked at him with a satisfied smile. Yan Shengzhi asked casually that he had already told him about the eye liner outside the palace. Yan Shang Qing's strange disease had almost healed. Lingjing's medical skill was not blown out. Fortunately, Lao Jiu had no intention of taking the throne, otherwise he would undoubtedly have another strong enemy.

"Thank you for your concern. The child has almost recovered. Your majesty, can you hold back?"

He didn't want to waste time with him. Yan Xiaohua raised his head and looked at him. Before he came to the Imperial Palace, he had already gone to the Yu Qin palace to say hello to his father. Although his father didn't agree with his decision, he still decided to go to the palace and make it clear to the emperor that he couldn't do without Jue. Even if he was as defensive as a thief, he didn't want to continue his agreement. Now Jue lives In Shengqin palace, he didn't have to worry that someone would attack him. Before the prince of the West appeared, he had to solve the problem between them first, and he couldn't give him any chance to take Jue away.

"Well?"

The smile on Yan Shengzhi's face gradually disappeared. He looked at him for a moment before waving. Zhang Dezi, with his tacit understanding, withdrew from the imperial study.

"Does your majesty remember the agreement made three years ago?"

Facing his examination, Yan Xiaohua knelt down on one knee and looked up at him fearlessly. Three years ago, no, it should be almost four years ago. When he just learned that the Third Prince of the Western kingdom was going to marry him, he didn't feel much. At that time, his imperial concubine had just passed away, and he just came back from the frontier. He had no idea who to marry again or who to marry I don't mind. Sooner or later, he would marry. At that time, his father reminded him that marrying the Third Prince of the western country would bring peace to the two countries, but indirectly, the emperor would be more afraid of them. He would also be in a situation where he was not human. He reminded him not to be too close to the third prince, nor too distant. He also made up his mind to marry the third prince Come here and offer as a Bodhisattva. He can't give others, and he doesn't want to give them. Who knows

When he saw the third prince, he found that he was the boy he had accidentally saved on the way to the border town. From then on, his reason had been far away. After marriage, he took his intimate out of the pair and wanted to become an enviable and loving couple with him. But the reality was often cruel. The child was awakened by a strange disease, and his intuition told him, child The son should not be simply sick. However, they could not find out why. However, under the reminder of his father, he also saw the reality. The more he fell in love with Jue, the more dangerous it would be for others, especially the person in front of him. So he agreed with him three years ago to sacrifice their love in exchange for his promise not to act behind his back, He really can't afford what happens to his beloved daughter-in-law.Since then, he has to send someone to watch and protect Jue while wandering among the flowers. For three years, he has never been really at ease. When it is quiet at night, he always sneaks into Jue's room, quietly accompanies him to the dawn, and then quietly leaves. It goes on and on. In his heart, he is also contradictory. He hopes that Jue will leave him and go back to the west, but he is reluctant to leave.

It was not until two months ago that Jue moved to Shengqin palace for the sake of his children that he realized how wrong he was. He couldn't leave him at all, so he regretted and didn't want to continue. The feeling of mutual trust and support between uncle Jiuhuang and aunt Jiuhuang made him firmer. Before, he thought he was protecting Jue, but he ignored it carelessly. Jue is also a man and he needs it It is his love, not the harm in the name of love. He should believe in Jue more and be frank with him. He should face the emperor's suspicion and the secret actions of some people. Originally, he wanted to wait for Jue and him to return to the county palace to have a showdown. But when he heard that Jue's elder brother was coming, he couldn't wait. He had to solve the problem between them and solve the misunderstanding that lasted nearly three years.

"Three years ago? Oh, I remember that you came to me yourself and asked for my trust? "

Yan Shengzhi thought about it for a moment, but he looked strange. Yan Xiaohua didn't think so much about it. He nodded and said, "yes, your majesty, at that time, he was afraid that there was something inside the marriage of the three princes, so Wei Chen asked to supervise him."

To put it mildly, Yan Shengzhi was too suspicious. He was afraid that they would turn against him with the help of the western countries. In order to make him feel at ease, he would not always send secret guards to watch them or make any small moves behind their backs. At that time, he only wanted to protect Sikong Jue, without thinking about the consequences.

"So you regret it now? Aren't you afraid I'll move him? As long as he does not die, your marriage will still exist and the benefits will not disappear. You should know that I have many ways to make him a living dead man. "

Yan Shengzhi's expression is dim and unclear. For him, the love between Yan Xiaohua and sikongjue was really difficult. If he continued to marry, he might really do it. Fortunately, he was smart and chose to alienate Sikong Jue to win his trust. Although it also caused him a lot of trouble, he was still very satisfied with his performance in the past two or three years What's the matter now He is no longer afraid of his suspicions, and he is no longer afraid of hurting Sikong Jue?

"Xiaohua knows, but I won't run away from it. Uncle Huang, I love him. I think you don't know what it's like to love someone, do you? When I saw Jue for the first time, I fell in love with him. However, his servants soon found him. When we parted, we couldn't say that we were sad, but we didn't give up. Until the day we got married, we saw him in wedding clothes. God knows how lucky I was to accept this marriage and get along with him after marriage The more time I spend, the more I like it. Born in the royal family, I feel that I am the happiest man in the world for the first time. Uncle Huang, I don't want to lose this happiness forever. Please help me

With that, Yan Xiaohua deeply kowtowed him a few heads. At this moment, he did not ask him as his courtier, but simply asked his uncle as a nephew. Yan Shengzhi's eyes flashed. Suddenly, Chu Yunhan's figure appeared in his mind. Did he really not understand love? He didn't know that, in his own opinion, he loved Yunhan, but his imperial education from childhood to adulthood did not allow him to favor a person. It was really hard for him to imagine what it was like to keep a person wholeheartedly. He could not understand why Yan Xiaohua could do this for sikongjue. There was also Laojiu. For Ling Jingxuan, he rebelled against him more than once, simply Is a word of love so important?

"You should know that I can't promise you anything. Go back and let me think about it."

He leaned back to the Dragon chair, and Yan Shengzhi waved weakly. Yan Xiaohua's eyes were dim. Before he got up, he firmly said, "I won't let uncle Huang have the chance to hurt Jue."

Yan Shengzhi was stunned and then said with a smile: "one thing you seem to have misunderstood. Shangqing's poison is not from me. Even if I suspect you again, I will not attack a baby baby. He is also my royal blood. I am not so cruel. I know that you have misunderstood me in recent years, but it is time to return my innocence 。”

The reason why he didn't explain at that time was that this misunderstanding seemed to be more beneficial to him, but now, it seems unnecessary.

"Well?"

Yan Xiaohua reflexively raised his head, not him, who was that? Who else is afraid of his relationship with Jue? The strong marriage between the two countries will only cause danger to the eastern countries or the northern barbarians. However, aunt Jiuhuang said that the poison in Shangqing was the poison of Southern Xinjiang. What's the matter? "I've said everything that should be said. As long as you don't do what you shouldn't do, I won't move him. Whatever else you want."

"Yes, thank you very much."

Yan Xiaohua was relieved at last by the order of departure, which was the same as the promise. After saluting him respectfully, Yan Xiaohua turned back and walked out. However, his deep thinking never faded away. Who was responsible for Shangqing's poison?
