"My mother cares about me because I am her only son. If I become seriously ill and she has another son, she will abandon me without hesitation and support her other son."
Even though he knew he shouldn't, seeing the warmth between Yan Cheng and the Yan family, the Seventh Prince couldn't help but think:
If he had been the one who was replaced, would he have been able to get that kind of love?
Then he laughed sarcastically.
He is so despicable. He has been enjoying the life of a prince for more than ten years, which others cannot even dream of, but he still has to worry about the life of his fellow brothers.
Besides, people are different. If he and Yan Cheng were swapped, he would most likely not repeat the path Yan Cheng took.
Now that things have been put right, the relationship between him and Yan Cheng is just fine, so there is no need to think about those unnecessary things.
But……
The Seventh Prince's eyes were melancholy, and his tone was dull and confused.
"I just want some genuine concern, why is this so difficult?"
Yan Cheng was silent, seeking sincere care in the palace?
To be honest, he found it difficult.
The world is bustling with people, all for profit; the world is bustling with people, all for profit. Who can accurately judge whether the concern behind a person is sincere?
Sometimes, for the sake of your own physical and mental pleasure, you can actually pretend that you know nothing and treat the falsehood as the truth before others make it clear.
It's fun to act stupid once or twice now and then.
After returning to the palace, Yan Cheng happened to meet the Tenth Prince who had returned to the North Fourth Residence from somewhere. He was about to say hello to him, but he saw the boy, who was much shorter than him, shook his body, lowered his head and mumbled "Hello, mynah bird".
Yan Cheng paused, replied gently, "Okay, Tenth Brother," and then left. After walking a long way, he suddenly heard a relaxed exhale.
The pace of his steps did not change, but his expression was complicated. He felt that some of the princes who were controlled by fate and could not escape were also very pitiful.
Who could have imagined that the prince, whom many people envied and wanted to replace, would live in fear in the palace.
If you have no ambition, it is better to be a pampered rich young man outside the palace than to be a prince who lives in fear every day.
Yan Cheng looked up at the square sky and suddenly felt very depressed.
＊
When Yan Cheng returned to the Yan Mansion for the second time, he came alone with eunuchs, palace maids and guards. The seventh prince did not accompany him.
The Seventh Prince had previously told Yan Cheng that he wanted to leave the palace with him, but he accidentally caught a cold yesterday and could only recuperate in the palace today.
Before Yan Cheng left the palace, the Seventh Prince sent a trusted eunuch to tell Yan Cheng to take more people out of the palace and not to let anyone unknown get close to him.
Yan Cheng: ...
Well, since it’s my brother’s request, then he can bring more people.
So Yan Cheng brought a group of people to the Yan family. Chu Yuan and others heard what the seventh prince said last time, so they were not surprised.
The surprise came from the two girls in the second room, Yan Chun and Yan Ling.
They only felt that Yan Cheng's identity had changed, and his aura was also different. Instead of being scared and retreating, their eyes became even more fiery.
This was completely contrary to the Seventh Prince's expectations.
However, with the palace maids and eunuchs inside and outside, they could not get close to Yan Cheng no matter how much they wanted to. This made Yan Cheng, who saw his two cousins so passionate for the first time, reluctantly sit still.
I just couldn't help but complain in my heart, what are you two cousins doing?
Could you please stop looking at him with murderous eyes? Do you know that scaring someone can kill them?
The main purpose of coming to Yan Mansion this time was to ask our people whether they had found any trace of the brother of Liu Ma's old friend.
He has been to Zhuixia Palace several times recently and found that Concubine Yan's condition is getting worse and worse. If this continues, the result is self-evident.
He remembered that shortly after the sequel of the novel began, there was a Concubine Yan in the palace, and the prince she left behind died of illness in Beierso within a few years.
Fortunately, his people were able to help and they have now found where Liu Ma's family of old friends moved to. However, the brother of that old friend was not at home. It was said that he went to the southwest with a general.
Knowing where the person is, he can always find her if he tries hard. Yan Cheng feels a little relieved. As long as he can find his old friend before June next year, he can confirm whether Yan Zhaoyi was poisoned.
Yan Cheng actually hoped that Yan Zhaoyi was poisoned, which would mean that she was not really terminally ill and could still survive as long as the poison was removed.
After this incident, Chu Yuan and others talked about the fact that Prime Minister Xie’s grandson was getting married at the end of November. They knew that Xie Guangling was Feng Guang, a good friend of Yan Cheng, and asked him if he could attend the wedding.
They all knew that it was inconvenient for the prince to leave the palace.
"able."
Yan Cheng answered affirmatively.
Prime Minister Xie was the number one person in the court after the emperor. Even if he did not request it, Emperor Jingxi would send one or several princes to attend his grandson's wedding to give face to Prime Minister Xie.
He could definitely be one of these people.
The time they spent together was very short, and soon it was time to say goodbye. Yan Cheng and Leng Yan walked in front, leaving a lot of space around them.
Yan Cheng walked slowly, and Leng Yan asked him directly when he could move out of the palace.
"What? Are you lonely without me here?"
"Um."
Yan Cheng swore that he was just talking nonsense, but he didn't expect Leng Yan to actually give a positive answer, which left him speechless for a moment.
He stared blankly at Leng Yan's handsome face, which seemed to have softened a lot, then quickly looked away and continued walking forward.
"You don't actually have to stay by my side and be the little-known Leng Yan. If it's to repay the favor of saving my life, you've helped me a lot over the years. You should have repaid the favor long ago and you could have been free long ago."
Yan Cheng spoke in a slightly lower tone than usual, with a slightly hoarse voice. I wonder if it was because he was about to enter the voice change period.
He always felt that having someone like Leng Yan serving as his bodyguard chief was a waste of his talent.
However, the question of whether to bury or not can only be answered by the parties themselves.
The thoughts of the parties involved are the most important.
"How do you know you're not the freedom I want?"
Leng Yan asked a rhetorical question. Although he was just smiling faintly, his eyes were dark, bright and deep enough.
Yan Cheng looked at him and suddenly found that he had nothing to say.
