As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 198 Father and Daughter
Xie Zhaozhao on the tree was dumbfounded for a moment, "It was actually the eldest son of King Zhongshan who secretly entered the capital!"

"He has been in the capital for more than half a month." Yun Qi said lightly: "My Uncle Sanhuang goes out to the capital to hunt every few days, so he uses this place as his hunting ground."

"I see."

Xie Zhaozhao's expression darkened.

This Pingzhanghou was none other than Chen Shulan's biological father, Chen Zhiyuan.

Because King Chen Xian of Zhongshan was a founding hero with outstanding merits, he opened and expanded the territory of the Qin Dynasty and guarded the border for many years. Emperor Xuanwu was grateful for his hard work and meritorious service, so he named his eldest son Pingzhanghou.

This is a great honor.

But since Chen Zhiyuan became the Marquis of Pingzhang, he naturally missed the title of King of Zhongshan.

According to Xie Zhaozhao's knowledge of his previous life, King Zhongshan seemed to intend to pass the title to his second son, Chen Zhiji.

How can the name of Pingzhanghou be as loud as the name of King of Zhongshan?

In this case, it is no wonder that Marquis Pingzhang secretly entered the capital and secretly had an affair with King Liang.

"What are you going to do?" Xie Zhaozhao looked back and asked Yun Qi, "Since he has been in Beijing for more than half a month, he must have reached a cooperation with Prince Liang. Dali Temple cannot lock him up for a few days."

"Once he comes out, I'm afraid he won't give up."

"It's okay."

Yun Qi smiled faintly, his eyes uninterested, "I'll tell you what I'm doing."

Xie Zhaozhao couldn't help but feel a little relieved when he saw that his expression was calm and somewhat confident.

After the Dali Temple officer had gone away, Yun Qi took Xie Zhaozhao back to the carriage and sent her all the way back to the Duke of Liang's Mansion.

When they got off the car and separated, Yun Qi stopped Xie Zhaozhao, "Here you go."

Something was thrown over, and Xie Zhaozhao caught it reflexively, but it was the dice inlaid with gold and silver.

"gone."

Yun Qi blinked at Xie Zhaozhao and returned to the carriage.

Xie Zhaozhao looked at the dice, then at Yun Qi's carriage that was driving away, and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "This stinky boy!"

I thought he lost it!

……

Although Yun Qi said he was confident, Xie Zhaozhao was always afraid of something unexpected happening.

Therefore, after returning to Wangyue Tower, he told Lei Xing to pay attention to the movements of Prince Liang's Mansion and the Chen Family Villa.

When Prince Liang's Mansion heard that something happened at Qingjing Temple, they immediately became active.

At noon on the second day, someone picked up Pingzhang Marquis Chen Zhiyuan from his cell in Dali Temple and took him to the Chen family annex.

"The people in the Chen family annex seem to be surprised." Lei Xing replied: "It seems that they don't know about Pingzhang Hou's entry into the capital."

"Oh."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded, "Pingzhanghou came to conspire with King Liang, so naturally not many people will know about it, but King Liang is indeed a powerful man and bold, and he dared to directly get Pingzhanghou out of his cell. "

"Today's holy king has reached the pinnacle of mental skills. He sees all directions and listens in all directions. He keeps a close eye on the affairs of the capital and all parties."

"Presumably Prince Liang's rescue of people cannot be hidden from the emperor."

Even if King Liang could hide it temporarily, Yun Qi was still walking around in the palace, so how could he be asked to hide it?
Now the King of Zhongshan and his second son Chen Zhiji are training troops in northern Xinjiang. Chen Zhiyuan should have been stationed in northern Hebei and should not have come to the capital.

He also secretly contacted Liang Wang.

With such blatant behavior, how could Emperor Xuanwu not be suspicious of the Chen family?

Xie Zhaozhao lowered his eyes and smiled lightly: "Without the persuasion of King Zhou, King Liang is now doing things more and more regardless of the beginning and the end."

……

In the Chen Family Villa, Pingzhang Marquis Chen Zhiyuan freshened up and asked Chen Shulan to speak.Chen Shulan still wore white gauze on her head and looked very haggard. After entering the study, she saluted Chen Zhiyuan with a respectful but distant attitude: "Father."

"How do you get so thin?"

Chen Zhiyuan's face was extremely ugly.

After all, the dignified Marquis was insulted, dragged around, and imprisoned by the guards of Dali Temple. It was a lifetime of shame and humiliation. How could he look good now?

Chen Shulan said calmly: "I haven't lost much weight either."

Aunt Liu on the side replied in a low voice: "Since the young lady came to the capital, the food and drink she has eaten and drank have not been to your liking. She has inevitably lost some weight. Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I will take good care of the young lady."

"In a few days, she will be the same as she was before in Northern Hebei."

"Yes." Chen Zhiyuan nodded, and then looked at Chen Shulan's weak Liu Fufeng, who seemed to be knocked down by a blow, and couldn't help but frown: "The current sage ruled the world when he was young, and he has always liked women who are capable of literature and martial arts."

"If His Majesty sees you being so spiritless, it will not only upset him, but also disgrace me, the Prince of Zhongshan in Northern Hebei."

The servants in the room immediately held their breath and did not dare to vent their anger.

Chen Shulan lowered her head: "What my father said is that my daughter will pay attention to it in the future."

Chen Zhiyuan heard her voice feel weak, and his eyebrows furrowed even more for a moment.

"Master Marquis, the chariot is ready." Changsui stopped in front of the door and reported.

Chen Zhiyuan withdrew his gaze from Chen Shulan, and before standing up and walking out, he said, "Take good care of yourself and don't get sick."

When he left, Chen Shulan greeted him respectfully.

After he left, Chen Shulan turned around and returned to the room with an expressionless face.

Chen Zhiyuan's words seemed like nothing to her. Whether or not she listened would depend on her mood.

She is not in the mood now, so naturally she won't take it to heart at all.

Aunt Liu followed behind Chen Shulan with Qingmai and Lily of the Valley, each one of them remained silent and sighed for their own lady.

Such a good person met a father who didn't take her seriously and only cared about the family's face and the interests of the government.

Chen Shulan, who was born into such a wealthy family, was not necessarily lucky.

……

Chen Zhiyuan entered the palace all the way and went to the imperial study to meet Emperor Xuanwu.

The first moment he knelt down, he confessed one after another, claiming that he did not report to the Holy Emperor in advance about his coming to Beijing, which was a serious crime.

Emperor Xuanwu laughed loudly and came to help him up in person, "I was just wondering when you would come to the capital, and now you are here. It seems that our monarch and his ministers are in harmony with each other. What's the crime?"

He asked someone to give Chen Zhiyuan a seat, and chatted with Chen Zhiyuan about the affairs in northern Hebei and the body of the King of Zhongshan.

We had a lot of fun chatting between the two.

Chen Zhiyuan carefully observed Emperor Xuanwu's face and made sure that he was really not angry, and felt a little at ease in his heart.

After chatting for two-quarters of an hour, the eunuch reported and the prince came to see the emperor.

Emperor Xuanwu stopped the conversation and ordered the eunuch Li Desheng to reward Marquis Pingzhang with many things and send Marquis Pingzhang away.

When Chen Zhiyuan exited, he met the prince outside the imperial study room and exchanged greetings with him again.

By the time Chen Zhiyuan left and the prince entered the imperial study, the smile on Emperor Xuanwu's face had disappeared.

He sighed and said: "King Zhongshan has been a soldier all his life and has a straightforward temperament, but for some reason he gave birth to such a scheming son."

"Father, are you talking about him and the Third Emperor's younger brother?" the prince asked.

"You also know?" Emperor Xuanwu raised his gray eyebrows, "After half a year in the capital, the third child still doesn't understand the situation and is still so restless."
