In fact, no matter how high their status was, without the care of their parents, it was very easy for something to happen to them. Unfortunately, the palace was the most heartless of all, and even though they were a family, in truth, they each had their own heaven and earth.
"Your Majesty, Esteemed Madame Imperial Consort Cen wishes to see you!"
"Let her in!"
Was she here to plead again?
"Chenqie greets Your Majesty!"
"Dear Concubine, please get up. Are you feeling better?"
"Thank you for thinking so much about chenqie, but chenqie is already much better. Your majesty, chenqie is here today …"
She had only said half of what she wanted to say. This was the trick of a woman in the palace. If the emperor's expression wasn't good, then she could say that she missed him and had only come to see him. If her expression was good, then she could talk about other things.
"Go on, I'm listening!"
Yan Yihan walked to her side, lightly wrapped his arms around her waist, and expressed the intimacy of a husband.
"Your Majesty, chenqie heard that Wei Xiang's daughter was shamed yesterday. If she were to marry the crown prince, it might bring about a joke from the people of the world …"
When Yan Yihan heard this, why didn't anyone tell him?
"Where did you hear this gossip? I just got back from the court, Wei Zheng is here, he didn't say anything!"
"Aiya, your majesty, you really don't know!"
Imperial Consort Cen pretended to be surprised. "This matter has already spread throughout the capital. I heard that Princess Anning set fire to the cloth village yesterday to save her good friend. Wei Qingxian is the young miss of Wei Family, the crown prince's consort who will be married in three days …"
Waving the handkerchief in her hand, she told Yan Yihan what had happened yesterday in an exaggerated manner. After that, she stole a glance at Yan Yihan and saw that his complexion wasn't good. She immediately kneeled down.
"Your majesty, chenqie spoke too much. Your majesty, please forgive me. chenqie is worried about the prestige of the imperial family. She definitely didn't mean to ruin the crown prince's marriage …"
"Someone, send word that Wei Zheng is here to see me."
Yan Yihan looked deeply at Imperial Consort Cen. If the crown prince and his Wei Family were not related by marriage, then his help would be greatly reduced. When he grows old, who would support the crown prince?
"You can go back first. This Emperor will come see you again when I have time. Do you understand?"
With regards to Wei Family, although they were not powerful, their abilities were not to be underestimated. Hopefully there was no conspiracy, and the humiliation of Wei Family Miss was only an accident, so the two families' influence in Shan Nation was very great.
Yesterday, he had only looked at a few of the ministers' memorials and then turned it off. The memorials only said that they had set it on fire, but did not mention anything about how Miss Wei Family was trapped. What were these people doing behind his back?
"This subject pays his respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live for tens of thousands of years!"
"Wei Zheng, what happened in your house yesterday, why didn't you tell me?"
Wei Zheng was surprised. Yesterday, Princess Anning had been locked up and the people outside his door were all noisy. What happened at home?
It seemed like …
"Your Majesty, this subject deserves to die. Yesterday, the people surrounded the Prime Minister's residence. They wanted me to come all night to plead for Princess Anning. This subject was so busy dealing with them that I forgot about it. My daughter nearly ran into this yesterday …"
As he said this, he stopped talking. How could he forget about his daughter's big matter? She had three days before her wedding with the crown prince. When the emperor asked about this, he was sure that he was hiding the fact that his daughter had been humiliated.
Yan Yihan was silent for a while, everyone in the city was talking about this matter, it was impossible for Miss Wei Family to marry into the palace, in the future, the crown prince would become the emperor and the crown prince's consort would not be clean …
"Get up. I'll discuss this with the empress after we discuss it."
"Your Majesty, now that I'm free, although she's still innocent, her reputation has already been ruined. It's impossible for her to marry into the palace. This subject dares to request for an order to annul the engagement!"
When this happened at home, he didn't have time to properly comfort his daughter. As an official, he had to come when the emperor called for him. Yesterday, he even locked up Princess Anning.
What did Princess Anning do?
She was only here to save her friend, his daughter. If it was Princess Qimeng who did the deed yesterday, Yan Yihan would definitely reprimand her for a few words.
"Go back first, allow me to think!"
"This official will take his leave!"
Wei Zheng kneeled on the ground and slowly retreated. Forget it, let's go back to check on our daughter first. When I'm busy, I actually forgot about it. Tomorrow, I won't be able to come up unless Battle King asks for it!
Once Wei Zheng left, Yan Yihan fell into deep thought. There weren't many people available in the court. Wei Zheng was a talent. If they didn't give him some benefits, he probably wouldn't be able to hold back anymore. He had an only son, Wei Lingyun …
He was so annoyed that he sat on the floor and slowly thought of what he had done in the past three months. The empress didn't come to see him, and each of his sons was busy with their own things. He was alone.
Yan Yihan just sat on the floor like that and didn't even notice when the eunuch came in.
"Your Majesty, the fourth prince wishes to seek an audience!"
"Your majesty?"
"Mm, Zhen knows. Didn't he have something to do? Why have you come to see me? Call him over!"
Cheering up, he sat down behind the desk and waited for his fourth son to arrive. He felt no regret since he was almost seventeen years old. He had grown a lot in the past few years, and like him, he was a genius.
When Yan Wuhui arrived, he saw the emperor sitting behind the desk and staring straight at him. He calmly walked up and greeted Yan Yihan with a bow.
"Greetings, Royal Father!"
"Wuhui, today I let you take over the case of the Xiao family's brothers, do you not dare to take over?"
If he couldn't do it well, he would lose his head. This was what he had said before he left, but to think that Wu Zhangkong didn't have the slightest bit of fear when meeting him. He was rather courageous, much better than the other princes.
"Royal Father, I also secretly checked on the case of the snake army's siege palace. Now Royal Father is giving me this chance to work for Shan Nation, to split the trouble with Royal Father …
"However, there are some places that I can't go to. Royal Father, please give me a gold medal."
Yan Wuhui went straight to the point and stated his purpose for coming here. His eyes were filled with confidence and his expression showed that he would definitely succeed. This caused the emperor to have a whole new level of respect for him.
"What you mean by that is that the Minister of the Palace or the Minister of the Imperial Court... A spy? "
"Royal Father is wise!"
Yan Yihan was currently in a situation where he could use people. As long as he took the first step, he would have to rely on himself for the palace's big and small affairs in the future. He must become the second Battle King and become the only one that the emperor could trust and cherish.
Yan Yihan sat in thought for a long while before he said,
"Yes!"
Then he took out his gold medal and handed it to him. "Don't let me down."
"Royal Father, don't worry. Your son will definitely capture the Xiao brothers and vent Royal Father's anger."
