Xiao Jingheng returned home full of anger, and the servants all stayed away, while Xiao Jingyan followed behind in fear.

Kicking open the door, Xiao Jingheng yelled at the maid in the room: "Get out!"

Several maidservants ran out of the room in a hurry like frightened birds.

Xiao Jingyan poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, "Brother Wang, calm down."

Xiao Jingheng threw the teacup down, pointed at his nose and cursed: "What can you do? Ah? Xiao Jingchen can't handle it, and Han Yuanchong can't handle it either. Now, even that trash Xiao Jingyu dares to betray the king, and even kicked his nose with me Show face. If you had gone to the Shangshu Mansion back then, Xiao Jingyu would not have had the chance to compete with this king in the court today!"

Xiao Jingyan murmured: "Isn't it just an errand for supervising the construction of the ancestral temple? If he wants to do it, let him do it. What's the big deal."

Xiao Jingheng sneered and said: "Yes! It's nothing special, and it's nothing special when the father makes him the crown prince someday."

Xiao Jingyan said disdainfully: "Just rely on him? The son of a lowly maid? Father is not an idiot."

Xiao Jingheng snorted: "What about the son of a lowly maidservant? There are many concubines in the palace who are born noble but have no children. Now he is the son-in-law of Han Yuanchong, and he is very popular. Who wouldn't want to be the new King of Qi."

Xiao Jingyan said: "Brother Wang is worrying too much. It is impossible for him to be crowned prince. I don't think the emperor fully trusts Han Yuanchong."

"Father doesn't trust anyone." Xiao Jingheng said: "But don't forget, Han Yuanchong has military power in his hands."

Only then did Xiao Jingyan come to his senses, and panicked, "I actually forgot this, what should we do now? Since that kid Xiao Jingyu came back to bite us, why don't we just do nothing..."

Xiao Jingheng rolled his eyes at him: "Can you use your brain!"

Xiao Jingyan said unconvinced: "This is not okay, and that is not okay, so what do you think should be done?"

Xiao Jingheng snorted coldly: "Xiao Jingyu's ambition is now clearly revealed. Not only we can see it, but Xiao Jingchen must also be aware of it. It is impossible for him to be indifferent. The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits, let them fight first , let's sit and watch the play."

"Brother Wang's trick!" Xiao Jingyan flattered, "Brother Wang is still amazing, I really admire him."

Xiao Jingheng looked at him speechlessly and asked, "Xiao Jingchen returned to Beijing?"

"Yes! And bring back a woman."

"Woman? What woman?"

"It seems to be a maid from Shangshu Mansion before."

"Maid? Xiao Jingchen left Beijing for this maid?"

"This... I don't know."

Xiao Jingheng pondered for a moment, "He is not a person who loves his sons and daughters. If it is really for this woman, then this woman must be not an ordinary woman, and it happens to be related to Shangshufu... What kind of medicine is he selling in this gourd?"

He ordered: "Continue to watch every move of Prince Qi's mansion."

Xiao Jingyan hurriedly said, "Brother Wang, don't worry."

……

Zhuang Wan struggled to open the door, and the snow covered the courtyard had not reached the threshold.It seems that it will take a lot of work to clean it up.

But the plum blossoms in the corner are blooming better and better.
Rong Li leaned against the door and asked calmly, "Would you like to sweep the snow for you? No wages."

"That's not necessary." Zhuang Wan said with a smile: "Everyone clears the snow in front of the eaves, Mr. Rong should go to the palace to see what King Qi has ordered!"

Rong Li heard that she meant to drive away the guests, and said wittily, "Forget it, then I'll come back another day, and hope that the ice and snow have melted almost, and won't block me out of the door again."

Zhuang Wan closed the courtyard door after seeing him leave, thinking of what Rong Li had just meant, she was not in a hurry to clear the snow.

Walking over with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and pushing the door open, it seemed that the room was colder than the outside.

By the time she finished burning the charcoal fire, it was already dark, and the snow began to fall silently again.She made tea, holding a steaming cup of tea and looking at the snow outside the window.

It's been more than three months... There is still no news from Yan Cheng.

Maybe others thought he was dead, and even began to forget him, but she believed that he was still alive!And, will definitely be back!

That night, Zhuang Wan had that dream again.The dream that Yan Cheng finally died in Zhaoyang Palace.The dream was so real that when she woke up, she still had lingering fears.

This is the second time she has had this dream.

Although the dream is not reality, and she doesn't want to speculate because of a dream, but she knows one thing because of it.

That is, she is not as sure about Yan Cheng's safety as before.Deep down in her heart, she was terrified.

The wind and snow outside had stopped, and it was quiet, but she couldn't fall asleep anymore, so she sat like this until dawn...

After the morning court, Xiao Jingchen came to Zhaoyang Palace and told Xiao Yi what happened in Huaihua Village.

"Because of the critical situation, the son and minister handled it on his own before reporting it to the emperor. Today, I am here to accept the crime!"

After listening, Xiao Yi asked: "In your opinion, who is behind the scenes?"

Xiao Jingchen said calmly, "My son will definitely find out."

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Everyone is already dead, so how can we investigate? That's all, you've handled this matter properly, so let's call it a day!"

Xiao Jingchen: "Thank you, Father."

Xiao Yi retreated from everyone, walked down from the imperial case, patted Xiao Jingchen on the shoulder, and praised: "I am very pleased that you can put Da Yan's foundation first in everything. Unlike others, who are all staring at my throne !"

Xiao Jingchen: "..."

"The emperor's father has won the award, and the son is only willing to share his worries for the emperor!"

"Okay!" Xiao Yiqing sighed, "I do have one thing that bothers me right now."

Xiao Jingchen asked: "But Yunzhou..."

"No..." Xiao Yi tilted his hands and said, "I have my own opinions on the matter of Yunzhou. But there is one person in the court right now, and I really can't bear it!"

Xiao Jingchen understood a little bit in his heart, and still asked: "I don't know who the father is talking about?"

Xiao Yiqing looked at him, and said word by word: "Han Yuanchong!"

……

On the carriage, Rong Li said worriedly: "Your Majesty asked His Highness to take action when he wanted to deal with Han Yuanchong. I'm afraid this is unusual."

Xiao Jingchen didn't speak.How could he not know that this was a hot potato.

After all, Han Yuanchong has a high position and authority. If he is removed without a reasonable reason, I am afraid that he will also get angry.Whether or not to protect him at that time is at the emperor's whim.He didn't know whether his father wanted to deal with Han Yuanchong, or the two of them who held the military power.

Rong Li continued: "Even if you have to deal with Han Yuanchong, Your Majesty don't need to be so anxious!"

"Because Han Yuanchong has already pushed him into a hurry!" Xiao Jingchen said: "There is an unknown secret between Han Yuanchong and the father. Or he holds the handle of the father, so the father has obeyed him all these years." .But now the emperor doesn't want to be controlled by others anymore."

"The handle?" Rong Li asked, "Could it be related to what happened 20 years ago?"

"It should be." Xiao Jingchen said: "I'm afraid few people in this world know the truth about what happened back then." (End of this chapter)
