Chapter 813 The whole family is a rebel (97)

In the second month of the new calendar, the motorcade of the Beidi Palace finally entered the territory of Chang'an.

It shouldn't have taken so long to travel from the north to Chang'an, but every time they encountered injustice at a place, they had to stop to deal with it, punish corrupt officials, tyrannical aristocratic families, and appease the local people, which delayed the journey.

The officials sent from Chang'an to urge them always advised them that with the establishment of the new dynasty, local bad politics would be dealt with by officials sent from below, and they should go to Chang'an as soon as possible to attend the coronation ceremony of the new emperor. However, neither Jin Yan nor Princess Jinyang listened to the advice. After all, no official had such high prestige as them, nor could they really shake those deeply rooted aristocratic families.

But after entering Chang'an, they heard a name.

King Wu.

A newcomer in the Supreme Court, the nightmare of the children of noble families, and the god of the people.

Sitting in the carriage, Princess Jinyang couldn't help but become curious as she listened to the comments of passers-by about Wang Wu.

She said: "He hid himself in a lowly position, killed the emperor with his own hands, and sharpened his knife to attack the noble families. The people worshiped him as a god. I would like to meet such a person."

Zhang An outside the car responded, "Your Highness will be able to see this person when you arrive in Chang'an."

After that, he paused again, bowed and said, "I have heard the little princess mention this person's name before. If Your Highness wants to know something, you might as well wait for the little princess to come back and ask her."

As they were talking, Jin Yan came back.

She had just gotten off the car to get some fresh air and saw a woman holding a sick child. She went over to ask a few questions, took the child's pulse and wrote out a prescription. Later, someone else came to see her, which delayed her for some time.

Seeing Jin Yan coming, Zhang An hurriedly dismounted to greet him.

Jin Yan waved his hand to signal him not to be polite, and quickly climbed onto the carriage. Before Princess Jinyang took out the teacup, Jin Yan had already picked up the teapot and drank half of the tea.

"Drinking so quickly, and riding with the guards again?"

Princess Jinyang asked her, and wiped the tea off her chin with a handkerchief.

Jin Yan shook his head, "I didn't ride a horse, I saw a few patients."

Princess Jinyang frowned, her brows showing worry. "What kind of patient is this?"

She did not object to her daughter practicing medicine to save lives, but she was afraid that the patients would not tell the truth. She had previously met a patient with tuberculosis who concealed the fact that he had been coughing up blood for days. If Yan'er had not acted cautiously and thoughtfully and had a set of protective measures, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Jin Yan said, "It's just a common symptom. It's aggravated by the cold. It's nothing serious. I've already written a prescription and given them money to buy the medicine."

Princess Jinyang finally felt relieved.

Not long after, Xiao Quji and Xiao Buyi, who were leading the way in front, also came back. They rode their horses on the left and right sides of the carriage, but didn't speak.

Princess Jinyang was about to speak when she heard a long-lost voice coming from outside.

"Mom!"

Princess Jinyang's heart was moved and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Mom!"

"younger sister!"

Jin Yan pulled up the car curtain the moment he heard the voice and looked outside in surprise, "An!"

She hasn't seen this brother for a long time.

Before they separated, Xiao Jinan was still a young boy, who spent his days either "doing justice" with a group of friends or driving a chariot designed by Jinyan and made by Mohist School to show off. He was only a little older at that time, and his voice was still that of a child, but now, he has changed so much that people dare not recognize him. Xiao Jinan jumped off the horse and jumped onto the carriage without anyone's help. He also had a happy expression on his face, but if you look closely, you can see that there is more guilt and grievance in his eyes.

The guilt of not being able to protect my sister, the guilt of not being able to serve my mother and making her worry about me.

The grievance of being forced to separate from the sister who grew up with him, the longing for his mother and sister, and the longing for his innocent and carefree self in the past.

Jin Yan looked at Xiao Jinan in surprise, and so did Princess Jinyang, but they both had tears and relief in their eyes. The little boy was finally forced to grow up.

After a brief eye contact for a few moments, Xiao Jinan threw himself into Princess Jinyang's arms. The half-grown boy, who had never cried out in pain no matter how tired he was or even injured and bleeding on the battlefield, now snuggled in his mother's arms and cried loudly.

Princess Jinyang coaxed him and patted his back gently to comfort him. Her most naughty beloved son finally grew up to be like his father, with some of the shadow of Xiao Ji's youth.

After Xiao Jinan cried for a while, Jinyan said, "Don't cry, or I will cry with you. My eyes hurt."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Jinan stopped crying. He let go of Princess Jinyang, but held Jin Yan tightly and was unwilling to let go.

"You've changed so much. You really look like my brother. From now on, I have no choice but to call you brother."

Jin Yan said.

Xiao Jinan snorted complacently, "I was your brother too!"

After a pause, he added, "No matter what I become, I am still your brother, and no one can change that."

Jin Yan comforted him, "Yes, you are a reliable brother now."

Xiao Jinan immediately asked her, "More reliable than the eldest and second brothers?"

Xiao Buyi: "..."

Xiao Quji: "..."

This kid really knows how to climb up the ladder.

Jin Yan chuckled and said deliberately: "Yes, more reliable than the eldest brother and the second brother."

After she said that, Xiao Jinan felt a little embarrassed. He even said modestly, "You can't say that. My eldest brother and second brother are good at different things than I am... You are right. I am the most reliable. I will be the most reliable brother!"

He was being modest just now, but before he could finish a sentence, he started to show off again, but no one interrupted him intentionally.

After a while, Xiao Jinan calmed down and said as if he remembered something, "Mother, father has led the entire court to welcome you. I couldn't wait, so I came first. My cousin was supposed to come with me, but unfortunately, the Supreme Court needed help to handle a case, so my cousin took his guards to help Wang Wu."

Princess Jinyang first showed concern for Zhong Xing, and then said, "Your Majesty, we have also heard of this person."

Xiao Jinan curled his lips and said, "He is now very famous. The people treat him very well. Even if they see him killing people in the street, they still dare to send him food. However, the nobles and dignitaries treat him like an evil ghost and nickname him 'hawk dog'. They secretly call him a running dog of the court and a murderous knife in the hands of my father."

After that, he looked at Jin Yan again and said meaningfully: "As for why he became like this, you have to ask Yan."

The whole family looked at Jin Yan.

Xiao Quji had the biggest reaction. He was also a hostage in Chang'an. Did the people Yan'er met do too much?

wrong.

If Wang Wu was Yan'er's man, then everything he did, including his forbearance and dormancy, and the regicide and beheading, weren't they all at Yan's instruction?
