No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 59

There is an inner lake in Jingyuan. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are no lotus flowers on the lake, and even the lotus leaves have gradually lost their summer greenness and vigor, making them look a little sparse.

Xie Yan and Wei Changting were sitting in the gazebo by the lake playing chess, when they suddenly heard a ghostly scream from a distance, and Wei Shizi's hand holding the chess piece couldn't help shaking.

He raised his head and looked at Xie Yan in disbelief, "Did that girl from the Luo family really stay with you last night?"

Xie Yan looked up at him expressionlessly, as if to say: What's the problem?
Wei Changting immediately put aside the unstoppable chess game in front of him, leaned over to look at Xie Yan and said, "Xie Yan, there is something wrong with you. You actually really want to keep that girl?"

"..." Xie Yan felt that there was something wrong with the person in front of him.

He is a young general who is looking at other people's marriages every day. If he doesn't know, he thinks that Wei Changting plans to change his job as a matchmaker.

Wei Changting stared at Xie Yan, intending to find any clues that were different, "It's fine if you agree, but Luo Yun actually agreed to keep his daughter in your house?

Xie Yan said: "The girl's situation is still uncertain, and needs to be observed."

"Then why didn't you send Miracle Doctor Xue to the Luo family?" Wei Changting said.

Xie Yan said lightly: "Do you think it's appropriate?"

"...That's right." Wei Changting immediately realized that the relationship between Xie Yan and Luo Yun was not good enough to send such a powerful genius doctor casually.

Besides... well done, why send such a powerful genius doctor to the Luo family?
Who in the Luo family is going to die?Sickness doesn't have a good reputation for an unmarried girl's family.

You can't let Yu Xiugu's medical sage climb over the wall to enter and leave Luo's house every day, right?Don't look back, Xue Baichuan put the man to death with a shake of his hand.

"Let people know that the Luo family girl is with you, and you will be in big trouble." Wei Changting reminded.

Probably no one in the court would want to see the Luo family and Xie Yan getting closer.

Xie Yan didn't care, and said calmly: "It's okay, as long as you don't talk nonsense, no one will know." Even if you know, it's not a big deal.

Wei Changting curled his lips and said, "And your cheap son. Speaking of which, I was a little surprised that Luo Yun didn't kill him last night."

"Luo Yun is not an impulsive person." Xie Yan said.

Luo Yun was born in grassroots and fought for half his life. He has won the trust of two generations of emperors. He is in charge of the most elite Xuanjia army in Dasheng. He will never be an impulsive person.

Wei Changting also agreed, but just reminded, "My lord, you'd better break away from your cheap son as soon as possible, lest one day he will be tortured to death and hurt you."

Luo Yun let Xie Chengyou go for a reason to give Xie Yan face. Even if everyone knew that Xie Chengyou was not Xie Yan's biological son, Xie Yan didn't like this cheap son.But as long as Xie Chengyou is under Xie Yan's name, he will be Xie Yan's son.

If outsiders hurt Xie Chengyou, they would hit Xie Yan and the Prince Regent's House in the face.

Xie Yan glanced at him indifferently and didn't speak, but Wei Changting was a little anxious.

"I'm serious! Not just the capital city, but the Zhen Guojun will never recognize Xie Chengyou!" Wei Changting said in a deep voice.

Why is he so anxious about Xie Yan's marriage?Aren't you worried that there will be no successors in the Chu Palace?This is not about Xie Yan alone.

Xie Yan said: "What's the hurry, why did the old man have to give Xie Chengyou to me?"

Wei Changting curled his lips and said with some disdain: "Isn't it just that you are expected to die on the battlefield one day so that his precious grandson can inherit the throne of King Chu?"

The son of someone else who is a father is in his 20s and hasn't married yet. Even if he is not in a hurry to marry a wife and have children for his son, at least he has to send a few concubines there.

But Mu Wang never cared about these things, instead he gave Xie Yan a cheap son to come over.

The old man didn't want Xie Yan to have a child of his own at all.

Being a father is enough for this sake.

"I'm not dead yet." Xie Yan said.

"so?"

Xie Yan slowly dropped a sunspot on the chessboard, and said, "So, it's their turn to be anxious now."

"They..." Wei Changting frowned, "You're not talking about Prince Mu's Mansion, are you?"

If that immortal King Mu had this ability, he wouldn't be doing nothing for a lifetime with the title bestowed on him by the Emperor Gaozu.

I don't know who gave him this insidious idea.

Xie Yan said: "A few days ago, I had someone investigate the matter of Xie Chengyou in the Luo family. It was not done by Xie Chengyou, nor by someone from the Mu Palace. Who do you think..."

Wei Changting was silent for a while, then took a slow breath, and said in a low voice: "There is someone behind Xie Chengyou, he was being used. If... what happened that day really happened, or... Luo Yun hated Mu Wangfu from now on And the regent, both sides will die. Or...Luo Yun will be forced to accept Xie Chengyou, and help this son-in-law...compete for your title."

Xie Chengyou will not wait in peace and stability to be the heir of the king of Chu, give Xie Yan his retirement, and then inherit the throne of the king of Chu.

So, when the time comes, will Luo Yun help Xie Yan, an unrelated outsider, or his only son-in-law?

At that time, Xie Yan was the enemy of the Luo family.

"Someone wants to drive a wedge between Zhen Guojun and Xuanjia Army. It seems that even though you have always refused to deal with the outside world, some people are still worried." Wei Changting said thoughtfully: "I just don't know who this person is."

"It's hidden very deep." Xie Yan said, "But after all the calculations, there are only those people."

Wei Changting nodded, they have been at the border these few years, even if they pay attention to the court, they can't compare to those old foxes who have been entrenched in the imperial city.

"I'll check, let's start with Xie Chengyou. By the way, where is Xie Chengyou now?"

Xie Yan said: "I got internal injuries from being kicked by Luo Yun, I was lying on the bed and couldn't get up."

"..." Wei Shizi was silent for a rare moment, and then asked: "In the past three days, both ends have been injured. I heard that he plans to participate in the spring next year. Is it really okay?"

Emperor Gaozu was quite stingy with the children of powerful families, and there were only two ways to become an official, joining the army or taking the imperial examination.

A son of the royal family like Xie Chengyou, let alone he is not the son of the king of Chu, even if he really became the son of the king of Chu, if he does not go to earn military merits or take the imperial examination to become an official in the court, he is just a prince of the royal family who receives the prince's salary That's all.

The only preferential treatment is probably that the eldest son of an official of the third rank or above can enter the Imperial College to study without taking the exam.

Xie Chengyou is currently studying in the Imperial College, but he did not use the status of the Prince Regent, he was admitted by himself.

Since he is known as the head of the Seven Talents of the Imperial City, he still needs to have some skills.

Xie Yan said: "If he continues like this, you should ask him if he can live to the day of Chunwei."

Wei Changting didn't take it seriously, "That's something his grandfather and his own father need to worry about, and I'm not his father."

Xie Yan said coldly: "Since you know it has nothing to do with you, then go to business."

"Have all the people Bai Jingrong placed in Shangyong been caught? How to deal with the prisoners of war, can the DPRK and China have a unified opinion? As for the Gaoyu people, are you finished talking about the alliance?"

Wei Changting was violently attacked, and couldn't help but leaned back, "I'm just a third-rank general, why should I care about these things? Isn't this about you, the regent?"

Xie Yan said calmly, "I want to recuperate."

Wei Changting sneered, "Knowing that I'm injured, I still fight with others. By the way... the girl from the Luo family is really crazy, she can actually hurt you? I think her moves are quite good, you Say can we..."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Yan said coldly: "If you want to die, just try it. If you can't die by luck, Luo Yun can still give you a ride."

"..." Wei Changting silently touched the bridge of his nose and stopped talking.

Thank you, but it doesn't have to be.

Wei Changting stood up and was about to leave. He glanced at Xie Yan's slightly higher neckline today, and smiled maliciously, "Guess, the father and son of the Luo family saw the tooth marks on your neck last night. No?"

"..."

Whoosh!
A chess piece was shot towards Wei Changting's face with strong wind, Wei Changting turned slightly sideways just in time to pass.

The chess piece flew past Wei Changting and nailed it into the pillar behind him, but Wei Changting had already laughed out of the gazebo and ran away.

The divine doctor's medicinal wine was indeed very effective. After Feng Jian applied the medicine and massaged it, Luo Junyao obviously felt that the soreness on his body had subsided a lot at noon.

You know, judging from her previous life experience, no matter how fast this level of consumption is, it will take at least two or three days to recover.

Although her father and eldest brother said that she should stay at the Prince Regent's Mansion for a few days, but tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is not good for her to stay in someone else's house after all.

After lunch, Luo Junyao did not continue to lie on the bed, and was accompanied by Feng Jian to walk around the Jingyuan.

Jingyuan is Xie Yan's residence, and the size of the courtyard where the regent lives alone is naturally huge.Moreover, Xie Yan likes to be quiet, and there are not many people in the garden to wait on him.

Except for Xie Yan himself, even if King Mu came in person, he would have to be informed first before he could come in, so outsiders would not know that Luo Junyao lived here.

As for Xie Chengyou, who had experienced the whole thing yesterday, he felt guilty for causing a catastrophe, not to mention he thought that Luo Yun had brought Luo Junyao back last night.

Feng Jian said that as long as it is within the Jingyuan, the girl can move around freely without being restricted.

Of course, Luo Junyao would not really run around in other people's homes, and she is not feeling well now, so she just walked around in the garden to bask in the sun.

There is actually nothing to visit in the garden of Jingyuan. There is also a small garden in Nuanxinyuan, which is less than a quarter of the size of Jingyuan.Now in mid-August, all kinds of flowers in the small garden are still in full bloom.

Although the colorfulness seems to be a little less artistic than Jingyuan, Luo Junyao thinks it's good to be lively.

Xie Yan's garden was completely different from hers, mostly shrubs, trees or foliage plants. Luo Junyao walked all the way there and saw that the most beautiful flower was a silver osmanthus tree.

"Is your Chu Palace so quiet?" Luo Junyao sat at the foot of the rockery, with his back leaning against the rockery, narrowing his eyes slightly to catch the sun.

Knowing that she was unwell, Feng Jian quickly put a cushion that he brought with him on her back, and then smiled and said: "It's quite quiet, but Jingyuan is especially quiet. The prince is recuperating, and he doesn't like crowds."

Luo Junyao was taken aback, remembering that it was less than half a month since Xie Yan was seriously injured last time.

Then he remembered that she and Xie Yan seemed to have had a fight last night.Although I don't know the specific situation, but based on her previous experience, she should have played quite well.

Luo Junyao felt a little guilty, and asked, "The regent...is his injury okay?"

Feng Jian said with a smile: "Girl, don't worry, with Dr. Xue here, the prince will be fine."

Luo Jun shook his head, "That's good."

The two were quiet for a while, and looked at each other for a while.

It's just... pretty boring.

Luo Junyao thought, she never wanted to come to the Prince Regent's Mansion to play again.

"Should I go and thank the prince for saving me?"

Feng Jian said with a smile: "Miss, do you want to see the lord? This slave girl will go and report to the lord."

"I..." Before Luo Junyao finished speaking, Feng Jian turned and ran away.

After being silent for a while, Luo Junyao withdrew his hand helplessly, "I just asked casually, are the people in the Prince Regent's Mansion... all so enthusiastic?"
