章節 41: Could not turn back
The horse carriage left the capital in peace. Yuan Yi and Yuan Wei sat within the carriage, looking at the capital that was getting further and further away from them. Their expressions were as if they were relieved of a burden but also a little lost.
An Jinxiu coaxed her safety as she smiled at the two Death Soldiers and said, "In the future, you two can lead your lives as you wish. Once you're free, you can do whatever you want with it."
Yuan Yi said, "Madam, you're willing to let us go?"
"I can't keep you guys here either. You can decide on your own in the future."
"He's smiling," Yuan Wei pointed at Ping An, who was happily laughing in Ah Jinxiu arms.
"Do you want to hug him?" An Jinxiu smiled as she asked Yuan Wei.
Yuan Wei hurriedly shook his head. He didn't dare to hug such a small child.
However, An Jinxiu put Ping safely in his arms and said, "You all want to learn how to carry children. Shaking your head, you all say no. In the future, when you have your own children, won't you hug them?"
Yuan Wei stiffened his body. He held Ping An's hands but didn't dare to move. The saliva in Ping An's mouth was all over his body.
"You have to carry a child like this," An Jinxiu began to teach Yuan Wei how to carry a child.
Shangguan Ning was helping An Jin on the side, saying: "Big Brother Wei is so stupid, even I know how to carry Ping!"
Yuan Wei's face turned red. He didn't even blink when he killed someone. At this moment, a little furry kid and a couple of girls made him at a loss for what to do.
Yuan Yi, who was sitting at the side, quietly watched Yuan Wei, who was learning to carry the child. Suddenly, his nose turned sour, and he wanted to cry but held himself back. Death Soldiers didn't have their own lives. Looking at Yuan Wei's clumsy appearance, it was as if he had never met this person before.
An Jinxiu noticed Yuan Yi's expression, but didn't point it out. She only patiently taught Yuan Wei how to carry the baby. She still had thoughts of bribing Yuan Yi and Yuan Wei, but she also hoped that the two of them could live the same life that she had once lived. Wasn't Yuan Yi and Yuan Wei the same as her?
Three days later, over five hundred of Wang Yuan's clansmen were beheaded. The clan of Wang Clan, which had been famous for a while, was exterminated. In the history book, there was a final comment about the deceit of the Wang Clan.
The crown prince's days did not improve after the annihilation of the Wang family. On the contrary, it became even more difficult.
The fourth prince, Bai Chengyi, who was in charge of the investigation, and the inner palace guard commander, Su Yang Zhi, who was secretly pursuing the Wang Clan's deathsworn were both protected by someone or had their secrets silenced by someone.
The First Prince, Bai Chengzhou's subordinate, an official, had even said bluntly that this matter must have something to do with the crown prince.
On the other hand, Bai Chengze tried his best to protect the Crown Prince, but the news of the Crown Prince and the Wang Clan fleeing for their lives was stirred up even more in the wild.
However, when this should have been the Emperor greatest fury, the Emperor is unusually silent.
The abnormal father, the aggressive brothers, and the capriciousness of the court official all caused the crown prince to be unable to breathe. It was as if a great sword was hanging above his head, and he didn't know when it would land on his head.
After waking up from his nightmare late at night, the Crown Prince finally broke down in front of An Jinyan. He would rather the Emperor give him a quick death than wait for his unknown fate to descend upon him in fear and trepidation.
An Jinyan held her husband in her arms. She knew that even though he was the crown prince, he had a weak personality. He had only shown weakness in front of her today, and that had exceeded her expectations.
"Imperial Father doesn't believe me!" The Crown Prince mumbled to himself in An Jinyan's arms.
"If Imperial Father didn't believe in Your Highness, he would have punished Your Highness long ago. He wouldn't have waited until today to make a move," An Jinyan consoled the crown prince, "Your Highness, Imperial Mother will not ignore Your Highness. You are her only son."
"I can't see Imperial Mother," the Crown Prince said sadly. The Emperor did not allow him to see Empress Xiang. This was the last straw that broke the crown prince's back.
"Mother must have her own plans," An Jinyan placed her face against the crown prince's back. "Mother knows how to help His Highness, so His Highness should wait patiently."
"How long do I have to wait?"
"Chenqie will enter the palace tomorrow to pay respects to Imperial Mother," An Jinyan said softly. "Imperial Father won't stop chenqie from being filial."
The Crown Prince held An Jinyan's hand and said in a low voice, "Jinyan."
"Your Highness, don't worry. No matter what happens, chenqie will always accompany you," An Jinyan told the crown prince. "Chenqie will also go see father. In short, I will do anything for you."
The crown prince raised his head and looked at his princess consort. At this moment, An Jinyan was smiling gently. She was still calm like usual, like a pool of calm water. "Sigh!" The Crown Prince leaned forward and kissed her on the lips.
An Jinyan moaned as she looked at the crown prince's eyes with a layer of mist.
Right now, the crown prince needed a woman. He needed to temporarily forget about the royal family that was bothering him. The father and son duo were still part of the Bai Clan. "Jin Yan," the crown prince called her name and buried himself deep within her.
Just like that, a scene took place in the middle of the night in the main hall of the Eastern Palace.
An Jinyan let go of her body. Compared to the Crown Prince's favor, she needed a child more. An Jinyan did not believe that there was any love between men and women in this world that could deceive ignorant women.
She only knew that only with the dragon placed in the throne room by the crown prince could she become the empress of the Dynasty of Qi Shun. Her rise and fall were all attributed to the crown prince. "You can't fail," An Jinyan thought to herself as the crown prince vented his desires into her body.
On the morning of the second day, An Jinyan met Empress Xiang at the Middle Palace.
The empress looked at her daughter-in-law, and nodded in satisfaction at the steadiness of An Jinyan. "Has the crown prince been well?"
An Jinyan smiled and said, "His Highness the Crown Prince is very kind. He is just missing you, mother."
"He has to stop worrying about me," the empress lowered her head to look at the fingernails the palace maid was helping with. "He's the crown prince, so you have to remember to share some of His Majesty's worries."
An Jinyan hurriedly stood up and said, "My daughter-in-law knows about it. She will definitely tell the Crown Prince about it."
The empress said, "You're a filial child. If you can give me a grandson as soon as possible, then I'll be happier, and His Majesty will be happier too."
An Jinyan lowered her head shyly.
"You and the Crown Prince are husband and wife, what's there to be shy about?" The empress laughed. "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. The Eastern Palace has a lot of things to do as well.
An Jinyan and the Queen looked at each other, bowed politely, and left the palace. The empress had quite a few court eunuchs by her side, so she would not say some things openly. On the way back to the Eastern Palace, An Jinyan thought about what the empress had told her.
If the crown prince doesn't have to worry about me, that means the empress has already helped him out.
Making the crown prince remember to share His Majesty's worries was telling him that no matter what attitude the Emperor had, he still had to be a respectful and filial son in front of them.
An Jinyan sneered. Any woman who gave birth to a son for the crown prince would make the empress happy. The empress's words probably meant that the Eastern Palace would do something to make the Emperor happy.
What could make the sect head happy?
An Jinyan walked in the imperial palace's Wenjian Lane. Wang Yuan's death must have had something to do with the crown prince, but since the crown prince didn't say anything, she couldn't ask. Private army. An Jinyan suddenly turned her head to look at the palace. Even if the crown prince were to secretly raise an army for the throne, it couldn't possibly be done by the crown prince alone. If the crown prince really felt sad about it in the end, the only one who could take on the blame for the crown prince would be the empress.
"Esteemed wangfei," Eunuch Xie, leading a group of palace eunuchs, saw An Jinyan from afar and stood down to pay his respects.
"Eunuch Xie," An Jinyan raised her hand towards him, and said with a smile, "You came to see Empress mother?"
With a face full of smiles, he bowed towards An Jinyan without replying.
An Jinyan only asked politely. Seeing the brocade boxes in the hands of the eunuchs behind Eunuch Xiw, she knew that the Emperor had brought something for the Empress.
Eunuch led the others to the side, allowing An Jinyan to take the lead. The Crown Princess, An Jinyan, was also born into the An clan and was also a beauty. However, in the eyes of good fortune, An Jinyan's appearance was more graceful in terms of appearance, while An Jinxiu was more exquisite and attractive.
As An Jinyan walked past, she thought to herself, 'This eunuch has been by the side of the Emperor all year round. The person who understands the Emperor' spreferences the most should be this eunuch. It was true that asking the Crown Prince to rope in this eunuch meant that he was condescending in order to bring him down, but was there a need to care about all this at this time?
When An Jinyan returned to the Eastern Palace, she ordered someone to invite Grand Preceptor An into the Eastern Palace.
The eunuch who sent the message returned two hours later, but didn't bring Grand Preceptor An with him. He only brought with him Grand Preceptor An's words, saying that he wasn't feeling well today and would enter the Eastern Palace another day.
Only after An Jinyan had all the people from the palace withdraw from the palace did her face darken. Her father, at this time, was looking at the crown prince's unstable position and wanted to distance himself from her.
"Your Highness," the eunuch next to the crown prince said to An Jinyan while she was sitting alone in her study, "His Highness the crown prince drank a lot of wine by himself."
What was the use of hiding at this time and drinking wine? An Jinyan let out a sneer without a sound. She straightened her body and walked out of the Crown Princess's bedroom. She looked virtuous and elegant once again. The road ahead was not easy. However, since the moment she entered the Eastern Palace by the bridal sedan, there was no turning back.
Eunuch Xie returned to the royal study after giving something to the empress of the palace. When he stood outside the door of the imperial study, he heard the Emperor angry voice from inside saying, "He dares to rebel against me! Bastard! Does he think I don't dare to kill him?! "
As Eunuch xie listened to the Emperor string of angry curses, the messenger king of the Phoenix Province, Bai Yongxin, rebelled.
"I must kill him," said Shizong, slapping the table in the royal study.
The ministers in the imperial study were all frowning as they received urgent reports from Wang Shen, who was from Fengzhou.
The messenger king was the youngest uncle of the Emperor. Although he was young, he was only the same age as the fourth prince, Bai Chengyi. He had always been a quiet person in the Phoenix Province, so why was he suddenly rebelled?
After a moment of scolding, the Emperor asked the officials below, "How do we deal with the Phoenix-Province's traitors?"
