Chu Yanyan, who was being discussed, was having dinner with the family.
They seemed to be wearing tinted glasses and thought Chu Yanyan had lost weight, so they all took the serving chopsticks to pick up food for Chu Yanyan.
It is said to be the most nutritious.
Chu Yanyan couldn't resist their enthusiasm. After thanking them one by one, he also took the serving chopsticks and handed the food to those people one by one.
I am so touched. How could he eat alone? He wanted to eat with everyone. Look how polite he is.
After putting meat into everyone's bowl, Chu Yanyan started to eat.
After eating, Chu Yanyan sat with them by the fireplace, warming themselves by the fire and chatting with them.
The atmosphere was surprisingly lively.
But they all tacitly did not ask about Chu Yanyan's affairs with the prince in the East Palace, and only asked about some trivial matters.
When they were chatting animatedly, a servant suddenly walked in and said respectfully, "Master, the master wants you to go to his study."
The people around him quieted down and looked at Chu Yanyan with worry in their eyes.
"Little brother, just answer whatever Dad asks." said the sister-in-law.
Everyone on the side nodded.
Chu Yanyan supported his knees and stood up: "Okay, I know. Seeing you all look so nervous, I thought Dad was going to punish me."
"Hey, what are you talking about? We are just worried about... other aspects." The second brother was about to say something, but quickly stopped and quickly changed his words.
Chu Yanyan looked at them and said, "Then I'll go to Dad's place."
"Go ahead."
After Chu Yanyan left, the originally bustling room became quiet.
Everyone's faces turned gloomy, and finally, the second brother Chu said angrily: "I don't know what the prince is planning."
"well."
Led by the servants, Chu Yanyan walked to the study of his adoptive father Chu Xiangchu Hetian.
When he walked in, he found that there was not only Chu Hetian, but also Chu Feng.
"Dad, big brother."
Seeing Chu Yanyan coming, Chu Feng put down what he was holding and walked towards Chu Yanyan.
The two walked up to Chu Hetian.
Chu Hetian handed a letter in his hand to Chu Yanyan.
Chu Yanyan was puzzled and took it and opened it to take a look.
Chu Hetian said, "This is a letter from the prince to me, written especially for you, and he specifically instructed me to take good care of you."
As he spoke, he looked up at Chu Yanyan, his sharp eyes filled with inquiry: "Yanyan, what have you done with the Crown Prince in the East Palace these days?"
Chu Yanyan clutched the envelope tightly, lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Dad, when you sent the child over, didn't you already know what the outcome would be?"
Chu Feng saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly tried to warm up the situation: "Dad, don't be too serious. Don't scare me."
Chu Hetian's expression relaxed and his tone slowed down: "I didn't mean anything, I'm just worried about Yanyan's current situation."
All those who had been sent in before had died, but his son had returned safely. This was an outcome they could not have imagined. Although he was the prime minister, the prince still held a higher position.
Because of Chu Yanyan's incident, he almost reached an agreement with the Third Prince Feng Yechen. His son died in the Crown Prince's Mansion, and he would never let Feng Qingwu go, even considering bringing Feng Qingwu down. Now that the Third Prince had experienced falling into the water, his mind was gradually clearing up, and Feng Yechen had Su Ranyan, once the most talented woman in the capital, by his side.
He had talked with Su Ranyan before. She was very talented and, more importantly, had ambitions that other female relatives did not have.
Yes, ambition.
How could he not understand people's hearts when he had made it this far in the imperial court? If it were someone else, they might find it ridiculous.
If Su Ranyan was not the princess, he would have wanted to recommend her to take the imperial examination.
Xingguo had few restrictions on women, and those with ability could become officials. However, only a small number of them could serve in the imperial court, and their official positions were generally low. They can be ignored.
The Third Prince was very smart when he was young, but he became stupid later on. He remained stupid until he married Su Ranyan. Then his mind gradually became clearer, and he could see from the side that Su Ranyan was a lucky star.
If the current crown prince is incompetent, then it is not impossible to depose the current crown prince and appoint a new one.
But now Chu Yanyan has returned safely, and Chu Hetian’s original plan has failed.
Not long after Chu Yanyan returned to the mansion, two letters were delivered, both signed by Feng Qingwu. One was the one he was showing Chu Yanyan now, and the other was a record of his meeting with the Third Prince.
Although they were just words, each one was heart-wrenching and made him extremely panic-stricken.
If Feng Qingwu really became the emperor and investigated these matters thoroughly, he would not be able to escape the blame.
