Chapter 517
Prince Yan's Mansion in Beiping, also known as the Imperial Palace of Yuan Dadu, King Yan Zhu Di entrusted Beiping to pick up a bargain. The mansion is the most prestigious among many brothers. King Jin often envied him. His Mansion of King Jin has gone through several generations, and every generation of King Jin has lived in it. The reason for the expansion and construction of the palace is probably also the root cause of the first generation of King Jin's comparisons.It's a pity that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, for some reason, the Prince Jin Mansion, which was built with painstaking efforts of several generations, disappeared in the long river of history.

Xu Chuan strolled on the streets of Beiping, and his spiritual consciousness swept over him and he really walked on this land in history. Those were two different feelings.

"Second Brother, this is the first time I've come to Beiping. You've come here two or three times with Daddy." Xia Yuhe said happily from the side.

Xu Chuan resorted to tricks, and she had long since lost any memory of the White Lotus Sect.

Xu Chuan smiled and nodded.

He had no entourage, and he was also empty-handed of gifts. Han Luo'er did not follow because she was pregnant, but Xia Yuhe followed. Xia Yuhe had prepared a lot of generous gifts, and there was also an envoy from Jin Palace.

"Second son, third miss, we don't need to stay in the city, just go to Yanwang's mansion. His Royal Highness Jin Wang has already written a letter to inform His Majesty Yan." The envoy of Jin Wang's mansion is named Hu De. Communication, along the way, Hu De also took good care of Xu Chuan and Xia Yuhe.

Although Xia Jin is just a scholar without an official status, but he is a celebrity of His Royal Highness King Jin. This is a political privilege, and Hood has to curry favor with him.

Xu Chuan and Xia Yuhe naturally did not object.

The party came to the gate of Prince Yan's mansion. Tomorrow is Princess Yan's birthday, but today it was already decorated with lights and festivities. Guests from all walks of life sent invitations, including many officials from all walks of life in Beiping. The battle was really a long queue all the way to the street. On the opposite side, with the identities of Xia Jin and Xia Yuhe, if they came alone, they would have to wait until night to have a chance to send in the greeting card. Fortunately, they didn't come alone. Hood stepped forward to reveal their identities, so it wasn't a big deal The guard in front of the door suddenly changed his expression.

It's no wonder that his eyes are higher than the top, and there are seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door, not to mention that he, the prince's door, even if the big officials on the ground in Beiping come, he doesn't care much.

But it’s different if this is the emissary of King Jin’s mansion. King Jin is the third elder brother of King Yan, and the older brother congratulates his younger siblings. How dare he be negligent.

After a while, a white-faced and beardless, tall internal officer and a stocky, somewhat overweight young man walked in. The fat young man was holding Hood's invitation card and walked out with the help of two strong guards. , under the guidance of the guard, immediately walked up to Hu De, Xia Jin and Xia Yuhe, crossed his hands and said:
"But Mr. Hu, who is under the third uncle's sect?"

"It's the next official, may I ask which young master His Highness is?" Hu De bowed his hands, although he saw that the fat young man was not impressive, but he had an extraordinary bearing. .

"This is Mr. Gao Chi, the eldest son of His Royal Highness King Yan." The white-faced, tall and tall internal official said.

"Ah, so it's the eldest son." Hood hastily bowed again.

"Excuse me, Mr. Hu, this is the Second Young Master Xia." Zhu Gaochi waved his hand, but looked at Xu Chuan who was at the side.

Xu Chuan just looked at Zhu Gaochi, the latter is only a 17-year-old boy now, but his demeanor is decent, but his conversation and speech are not at all young people's impatience, calm and unhurried, which is indeed rare.

Without waiting for Hu De's introduction, Xu Chuan stepped forward and said, "Young Master Huiyan, Xia Jin, this is my sister-in-law Yuhe."

"I've met the eldest son." Xia Yuhe also bowed in salute.

Zhu Gaochi took a step forward, helped Xu Chuan up, held Xu Chuan's arm with his chubby hand, and said enthusiastically: "Brother Wen Ning was mentioned several times in the third uncle's letter, and he praised Wen Ning brother like a god. Well-deserved reputation, come in quickly."

Xu Chuan smiled slightly, and walked in with Zhu Gaochi.

People who stood farther outside all looked sideways, and they didn't know who it was that could make Prince Yan treat him so courteously.

And Baimian Wuwu, who was following Zhu Gaochi, looked at Xu Chuan. Although he felt that the other party seemed a little unreasonable, he couldn't feel bad, but couldn't help but feel good about him.

"Could it be that this is the kindness Master said?"

They walked into Prince Yan's mansion together. Since they came to celebrate Princess Yan's birthday, they naturally wanted to meet the prince and concubine first.The guests are also divided into three, six, or nine classes. If it is an ordinary guest, leave a post to record your name and send a congratulatory gift. You will naturally have a seat when the banquet is held tomorrow. Speaking of which, you have eaten at Yanwang Mansion. As for the reception, King Yan and Princess Wang were too lazy to see it.

But Xu Chuan and others are naturally different.

Going around several corridors, a stage has been set up in front of the palace. In ancient times, this stage was almost an indispensable repertoire for birthday celebrations. Xu Chuan also enjoyed the scenery of the Yan Palace along the way.

After a while, they came to a palace. There was a gray-robed official waiting in front of the pavilion. Just as they arrived, the door of the palace opened. A tall figure in python robes and a graceful and dignified beautiful woman accompanied them. Send out a man and a woman.

The man was wearing a brocade robe, and the woman was quite pretty, and after bowing to King Yan and Princess Wang, she turned and left.

As soon as she turned around, the woman saw Xu Chuan's face unchanged, but when she saw Xia Yuhe, her expression moved slightly, but she subtly suppressed it instead.

Leave towards the distance.

"Second brother, who are these two people?" Xia Yuhe asked in a low voice, "It seems that they are not small."

Xu Chuan didn't speak, but Hu De on the side said softly: "I recognize that man. He is Wei Can, a student of the Imperial College. Go back to your hometown to visit relatives. As for the woman, she should be his wife."

"Imperial College student?" Xia Yuhe stared.

A Guozijian student was able to meet His Royal Highness Yan Wang, and even asked His Highness Yan Wang to see him off.

Hood smiled and didn't say much.

Now everyone in the world knows that the emperor will pass on the throne to the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhu Yunqi. At that time, Huang Zicheng will be the emperor's teacher.

Of course, these words could not be said in front of Zhu Gaochi, they walked up to Yan Wang Zhu Di and the princess, and saluted at the same time.

Naturally, Xia Yuhe didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of King Yan Zhu Di, and Hu De behaved well, so they entered the hall and took their seats. King Yan and Princess Xu expressed their gratitude to King Jin.

"Sambo, take Master Hu and Miss Xia down to rest." Zhu Di waved.

"Your servant obeys." The tall, white-faced and beardless official bowed.

"Let me go." Hu De saluted, glanced at Xia Jin who was sitting carelessly drinking tea, and thought that His Royal Highness King Yan had something to say to the Second Young Master Xia. Although he envied him, he didn't dare to stay any longer. turned around and went.

Only Yan Wang Zhu Di, Princess Xu, Zhu Gaochi and the guards outside the palace were left in the palace.

"You are the Second Young Master Xia." Zhu Di, King of Yan, looked at Xu Chuan with a gleam in his eyes.

"It's right here." Xu Chuan nodded and smiled without getting up.

Zhu Gaochi and Princess Xu looked at each other, it was obvious that the person in front of them was very rude, but they couldn't afford to be angry, instead they felt it was right.

Zhu Di took out a letter from his sleeve, and the letter was signed by the King of Jin. Zhu Di said in a deep voice, "His Royal Highness Jin said in the letter that there are rebels from the White Lotus Sect who want to kill Gu? Only you can protect me." Alone and comprehensive."

"Yes." Xu Chuan nodded again.

"Hmph, what a joke. I sit alone in Beiping, and sometimes lead troops to go out to fight. I don't know how many people want to kill Gu. He is a little white lotus sect, the generation of mosquitoes, and he also wants to kill Gu? Even if he comes, Gu wants to see them What are the means?" Zhu Di sneered.

Xu Chuan smiled without saying a word, lightly picked up the tea on the table, froze the tea with the tea lid, and took a sip.

Well, good tea, I remember the feeling when Xia Huang took out a cup of tea and invited him to drink...

Yan Wang Zhu Di, Princess Xu, and Zhu Gaochi's family watched.

Zhu Di frowned, but Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to speak.

The concubine Xu blinked, if the Second Young Master Xia in front of him tried his best to explain, then he might really be a magic stick, but he was acting like this.

"My lord, since this matter is a letter from my third uncle, why not write it last time, since he said he wants to protect us, let's wait and see what happens." Xu said in a low voice.

Concubine Xu was born in the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion. She was intelligent since she was a child. Zhu Di loved this concubine very much and trusted what she said. After hearing this, Zhu Di's expression relaxed, and he glanced at Xu Chuan's expression.

Although I absolutely do not believe that the White Lotus Sect could murder him, but it is indeed his third brother who wrote the letter and can only say: "Okay, then I will trouble the second son Xia to take care of this king. If it is true what the second son Xia said If someone harms you, it doesn't matter if the second son is saved or not, but I will be grateful if I save my concubine and son Gu."

Emperor Yongle is also a man of temperament, he is not afraid of life and death, but his family can't be troubled.

Xu Chuan nodded with a smile.

"Good to say."

……

In a guest room of King Yan's Mansion.

Wei Can and his wife were sitting at the table, on which was a wooden box with a khaki long worm inside.

"Are you sure that the woman you saw today is the saint under Senior Brother Qi Huan's seat?" Wei Can frowned.

"Yeah. Senior brother Qi Huan and I planned the King of Yan Grand Time. I had a relationship with him once, but at that time, I taught the Dafa of Duohu in this girl, and now it seems that she has returned to normal." The lady nodded.

"I've inquired, those three people are the envoy of Prince Jin's Mansion, Xia Jin, the second son of the Xia family from Shanxi, and Xia Yuhe, the third lady, their identities match, Xia Jin? I heard that senior brother Qi Huan's foundation in Taiyuan Mansion is all because of This Xia Jin was ruined by one person." Wei Can frowned and said, "This time he came to the Yan Palace again..."

"Senior Brother Wei, you don't need to worry about him too much. There are only a few scholars around. I'm waiting to hold the two treasures bestowed by the patriarch this time, so why not be afraid." The lady said with a charming smile.

"That's right." Wei Can also smiled. It was just after noon, and the setting sun came in from the window sill. Wei Can looked at the "Madame" in front of him. The "Madam" took her into her arms.

"You don't need to worry about the other things. Junior sister and senior brother should first explore the way of yin and yang complementation."

"Senior Brother Wei..."

The lady exclaimed, as if she didn't expect that the serious senior brother one moment would turn into a hungry wolf eating people the next moment, but it turned into a silver bell-like laughter, catering to her,
The long khaki worm contained in the box on the table heard the movement outside, and seemed to be twisting its body crazily.

……

And on the other side.

Xu Chuan, Xia Yuhe, and Hu De are attending a banquet, and the hosts of the banquet are Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui.

Zhu Gaochi is 17 years old this year and is extremely mature, but Zhu Gaoxu is the complete opposite. At only 15 years old, he is like a leopard full of energy. He is seven feet tall, has handsome eyebrows, and always wants to show the upper hand.

As for Zhu Gaosui, he is like a follower, following behind his second brother Zhu Gaoxu. Among the three brothers, he is the least assertive.

"Come on, Brother Wen Ning, Miss Xia, I'll toast you two again." Zhu Gaoxu raised his glass.

"Second brother, drink less." Zhu Gaochi discouraged.He has already said that his father attaches great importance to this Second Young Master Xia, but the second younger brother is still so careless and calls him by his name.

"That's only a lot, and if it's our mother's birthday tomorrow, you don't care about me." Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand, but kept his gaze fixed on Xia Yuhe.

Xia Yuhe's eyes dodged from time to time, but he was not ashamed.

Zhu Gaochi had no choice but to let him go.

Xu Chuan also raised his glass with a smile.

"Come on, let me have a drink with the young master." Hood joined in the fun.

The banquet didn't dissipate until nightfall.

The servants brought Xu Chuan and Xia Yuhe to two guest rooms. It was not cold this season, but a small stove had been placed in the guest room to dispel the damp.

"Little sister, rest early."

"Second brother." Xia Yuhe suddenly stopped Xu Chuan.

Xu Chuan paused, then turned to look at the younger sister.

Xia Yuhe gritted her teeth and said softly, "Second brother, something happened to the eldest brother, it's great to have you in our family."

After saying that, she turned around and ran into the room. It seemed that the little girl had a lot of emotion after drinking with the party in the palace today.

Xu Chuan shook his head, if you knew that your elder brother died at your hands, I don't know what you would think.

"White Lotus Sect, Wei Can and his wife can't be detected by my spiritual sense. According to Yuhe, the White Lotus Sect is bound to win King Yan, and they are the ones who sent them?" Xu Chuan's eyes flashed coldly.

……

As soon as the next day dawned, the Palace of King Yan became noisy.

In the system of kings, the emperor descended to the first class.

That is to say, the ostentation of the prince's guard of honor is only slightly inferior to that of the emperor, and the ostentation of King Yan's doting on the concubine Xu is only a little lower than him, so it is conceivable that the grandeur and grandeur of this birthday banquet .

The middle and small eunuchs and maids of the palace shuttled back and forth, and the whole birthday banquet was in full swing. Xu Chuan, Xia Yuhe, and Hu De were sitting at the wine table closest to Yan Wang and his wife. There were also more than a dozen tables of wine banquets arranged here. Only people from all walks of life who are closely related to the palace are eligible to be invited here, and they are not as close as Xu Chuan and others.

King Yan seemed happier than he was celebrating his wife's birthday.He watched his sons and sons-in-law send congratulatory gifts, it was peaceful and lively, and the patrolling guards were also orderly, and there was no sign of an assassination.

He glanced at Xu Chuan who was approaching, and couldn't help but hum.

"When did the third brother have the problem of being suspicious?"

Some of his brothers do believe in gods and ghosts.

"Assassination? Murder? Who dares?"

……

Zhu Gaosui was young, so he went to the side to play after eating two mouthfuls, but a beautiful woman walked in front of him, Zhu Gaosui looked at her, and felt that everything in front of him disappeared, only this beautiful woman remained.

The glamorous woman smiled and handed a long box to Zhu Gaosui.

……

Wei Can watched the scene in the distance with a smile on his face.

"Your Highness King Yan, next year today will be the day of your death."

……

seat.

"Father." Zhu Gaosui walked over waving a long box, and said with a smile, "I present you a treasure."

Yan Wang Zhu Di is very serious to his son on weekdays.The three sons were all serious in front of him. Zhu Gaosui's appearance today made him feel a little abnormal, but after all, it was the princess's happy day. Zhu Di didn't think much about it. Looking at the long box in Zhu Gaosui's hand, he laughed and said, "What is my son going to offer?" Bao, bring it to me and have a look."

Zhu Gaosui approached step by step with a smile, and when he was only one step away from King Yan, his steps suddenly accelerated, and a short blade popped out from the box in his hand, and the guests on the side of the short blade could not see clearly, but King Yan Zhu Di, his concubine Xu, and the eunuchs around him saw it clearly, and they were all horrified.

But the distance was too close, so close that King Yan couldn't avoid it.Yan Wang Zhu Diru never thought that his son would kill him, let alone that someone would actually assassinate him in such a scene!
It was really prophesied by the third brother!But is there anyone who can save him at this moment?
"My life is over!"

Pong.

Zhu Gaosui, who was rushing forward, suddenly fell into the arms of a person, and the box in his hand was also in the arms of that person, only a few feet away from King Yan!

"Third Young Master, be careful, don't fall down."

There was a chuckle, King Yan Zhu Di, concubine Xu Shi, eldest son Zhu Gaochi and second son Zhu Gaoxu, Wei Can in the distance, and the glamorous woman sitting at the woman's table were all watching this scene.

That is Xia Jin, Xia Wenning!
