Extra five
Three years is not a long time, but it is not a short time either. It wasn't just the Empress Dowager who saw through Emperor Yan's plans. After gradually calming down, they had a vague guess, and this guess made them uneasy.
At this time in Fuzhou, since Yan Qiyu stayed in Fuzhou, Yan Shujin has been taking him with her in everything she does, and she hasn't deliberately kept many things from him. In addition, with Mr. Du and others around, even though Fuzhou has been temporarily handed over to Yan Qiyu, he won't be caught off guard.
In particular, Princess Xuan also came. She did not participate in the political affairs of Fuzhou, but stayed in the Princess's residence to take care of Huan Jie. She also brought Prince Xuan's illegitimate daughter and nephew so that the children could be together.
Yan Qiyu has been very busy lately. He has to have breakfast with his mother every day and tries to come back for dinner as well. However, he finds his busy schedule fulfilling. Apart from things like the gold mine, Mr. Du and Mr. Pang haven't kept anything from Yan Qiyu. From some of the accounts, Yan Qiyu guessed that in addition to the princess's guards, Yan Shujin probably also keeps a private army. But even though he guessed, he didn't say anything.
Yan Qiyu never expected that someone he had studied with at the academy and met a few times would come looking for him.
The man didn't come directly to Yan Qiyu, but instead went to Wang Jingqi.
Within the academy, Yan Qiyu and Wang Jingqi had the best relationship. They were of similar age and had good personalities. Furthermore, Yan Qiyu had helped Wang Jingqi save someone in the past, which gave them a shared secret and made them even closer.
Compared to Yan Qiyu, the person who came was more familiar with Wang Jingqi.
He asked Wang Jingqi to see Yan Qiyu, saying he had something important to say to Yan Qiyu. Wang Jingqi did not act on his own, but asked Yan Qiyu before taking him to see Yan Qiyu.
Although they weren't very familiar with each other, they were classmates and had come specifically for this purpose, so Yan Qiyu had a lot of food prepared for them.
The visitor wasn't there to reminisce; he simply informed Yan Qiyu about the situation in the capital.
Yan Qiyu actually knew some things, but not as much as this person had said. However, he wasn't sure how much of it was true and how much was false: "Brother Yu, what do you mean by telling me all this?"
Yu Ming said, "Now Your Majesty has one son in prison, another son who is unwell, and Your Majesty only has one younger brother, Prince Xuan."
Yan Qiyu asked calmly, "What do you want to say?"
Yu Ming said, "Moreover, because of His Majesty's health, everything in the capital is now under the princess's control. The Crown Prince and the princess are siblings..."
"Who sent you?" Yan Qiyu interrupted him directly, asking, "Since everything is going smoothly in the capital, there's no need for me to return."
Yu Ming quickly asked, "Is the young master willing to accept this?"
Yan Qiyu was amused and said, "Yu Ming, I don't know who instructed you to come here, but I want to tell you that His Majesty and my sister are far superior to me in terms of character and ability. If they can't handle things in the capital, then my going there would only cause trouble. Moreover, I don't have the ambition you think I have. I don't ask for much or little, but I won't force things that don't belong to me."
Yu Ming was stunned; he hadn't expected Yan Qiyu to say these things.
Yan Qiyu said, "Go back and tell the people behind you not to try to sow discord between me and my family. I will not come to the capital unless my sister writes a letter to me personally."
After Yu Ming left, Wang Jingqi couldn't help but say, "He should still be in school, how did he get involved in these things?"
Yan Qiyu didn't seem to care and said, "There's always something going on behind the scenes."
Wang Jingqi hesitated for a moment before asking, "Your Highness, what are your thoughts?"
Looking at Wang Jingqi's worried expression, Yan Qiyu said, "I just want my family to be safe and sound, but unfortunately, it's not about what I want, but what they want to do."
Wang Jingqi swallowed hard. He understood the current situation and asked, "Actually, the heir apparent could compete for that position."
Yan Qiyu looked at Wang Jingqi with some surprise and asked in return, "I thought you admired my sister more."
Wang Jingqi said, "I admire princesses, but there's no connection between the two."
Yan Qiyu smiled and said nothing more. When the time was right, Wang Jingqi would naturally find out.
Wang Jingqi looked somewhat bewildered.
Because of Yu Ming's matter, Yan Qiyu returned to the Princess's residence early and saw Huan Jie nestled beside Princess Xuan, asking in a childish voice, "Why haven't they come back yet?"
Upon hearing this, Princess Xuan put down the tassel in her hand: "How about your maternal grandmother takes you to see them in a few more days?"
Yan Qiyu knew who Huan Jie was referring to when she said "them," and came in with a smile, saying, "Huan Jie."
Huanjie grinned when she saw the person who came.
Yan Qiyu played with Huan Jie for a while before telling his mother about Yu Ming.
Princess Consort Xuan smiled and said, "It seems that everything is going well for Bao-jie in the capital."
It was precisely because everything was going smoothly that Emperor Yan had delegated power to Bao Jie, which made those people restless and sent someone to test Yan Qiyu's intentions.
Yan Qiyu also thought of it and said, "Yes, and my sister scared them."
Princess Xuan looked calmly at Yan Qiyu and asked, "What are you thinking, Brother Gui?"
Yan Qiyu remained silent for a long time before saying, "I will go to see my sister after she has truly calmed down."
Even if he had no other intentions, once he arrived in the capital, those people would start causing trouble.
