Chapter 273 You took advantage of me while I was asleep
The capital posthouse.
Princess Ye Ninglan of Xiling went to the capital with Prince Chang'an and his entourage and stayed at the inn.
The Xiling spies arrived to report the latest news to the Princess. "Today, the Emperor of Daxing issued an imperial decree, conferring the title of King of Xizhou on Prince Chang'an, and ordering him to leave the capital and return to his fiefdom within ten days. Princess...this Prince Chang'an is truly blind. He wouldn't marry a peerless beauty like you, and he actually defied the decree and wouldn't even stay in the capital!"
Ye Ninglan played with his wine glass and said with a smile, "He disobeyed the order, which makes this matter interesting."
She knew that Huo Zheng was a man of loyalty and righteousness and would not marry her, so she specifically proposed to marry him.
The purpose was to disrupt the Daxing court and alienate the royal father and son.
I just don’t know what Huo Zheng said to the Emperor of Daxing. It seems that the father and son did not fall out, and there was no news that the emperor was furious and wanted to severely punish the King of Chang’an.
He simply issued an imperial decree to confer an additional title on Huo Zheng, urging him to go to Xizhou to be a vassal.
"It was I who underestimated Huo Zheng." Ye Ninglan drank the wine in his glass and said with a smile, "It's interesting that a love-struck man can come from an imperial family."
The Xiling spy couldn't help but ask, "Princess, what's next..."
"Continue to investigate secretly. Once you have any news, report it to me immediately." Ye Ninglan said, "The fun has just begun. There will be more excitement to come."
"Yes, Princess."
The Xiling spy responded and retreated quietly.
Ye Ninglan leaned back and fell on the beauty bed, looking at the spring scenery outside the window, a smile appeared on her lips.
Since she has come to Daxing Capital, she cannot come in vain.
It's necessary to turn the world upside down.
…
Chang'an Palace.
The imperial edict from the palace soon spread to everyone in the mansion.
Huo Yanran was shocked when she heard about this. Since she was a child, she had seen her seventh brother, who was more ambitious than anyone else and was a sure candidate for the crown prince. But now, in order not to marry the Princess of Xiling, he openly defied his father and was ordered to leave the capital and become a vassal. He didn't know if he would be able to return to the capital in his lifetime.
Princess Thirteen had a lot to say, but when she saw her seventh brother and sister-in-law accompanying Xiaoxing back to play, she suddenly became speechless.
It is naturally good to hold great power and be in charge of the country.
But asking the seventh brother to abandon his wife in exchange for the position of crown prince would be too cruel.
When Song Wan'er learned of this, her reaction was even greater than that of the Thirteenth Princess. "Loving beauty over power? Even a storybook wouldn't dare write that! No, I have to write this into a story. Maybe it will spread widely among the people, and then I'll become famous."
Huo Yanran deliberately said: "I don't know who told my sister-in-law that the courtyard of the Song Mansion has always been reserved for her."
"Shhhhh." Song Wan'er was so anxious that she wanted to cover the Thirteenth Princess's mouth. "Be quiet, don't let the prince hear."
Huo Yanran smiled and said, "My seventh brother has very good hearing, he heard it."
Song Wan'er turned to look at Huo Zheng, and sure enough, she saw his eyes on her.
Song Wan'er quickly said, "Well... I just want you to go back and stay for a few days when you're free. I don't have any other intentions, absolutely not."
Huo Zheng knew that Chunzhi doted on her sister, so he naturally wouldn't argue with her. He just said indifferently, "That's good."
"Naturally, naturally."
Song Wan'er has actually always been a little afraid of Huo Zheng.
Because she was very scared when she saw Prince Chang'an for the first time. The day when Huo Zheng went to the Song family to grab the bride, there was a big scene, and it still gave Miss Song nightmares.
"Look at your courage." Huo Yanran laughed at her from the side, "If you had known this would happen, why would you have said so much?"
"Stop talking, Princess." Song Wan'er pleaded secretly.
"The rain has stopped. Wan'er and I will go to the garden to pick some flowers for the vase. Brother Seven and Sister-in-law can do whatever they want. We'll go ahead."
Huo Yanran left gracefully with Song Wan'er.
Huo Zheng and Chunzhi stayed in the house to play with Xiaoxinghui and Nian'er.
It was mid-afternoon, and both little guys were feeling a little sleepy.
Chunzhi carried them both to bed and coaxed them to sleep.
Huo Zheng said, "I'll go see Yuan Jia."
Chunzhi said "hmm" and continued to hum nursery rhymes to the two little ones.
Huo Zheng walked out slowly and went to the courtyard where Gu Yuanjia was.
I heard the sound of the piano before I even entered the door.
Young Master Gu was a refined man who loved playing the piano and painting. When he was in Xizhou, he had played the piano late at night to send messages to Changfeng. However, he was seriously injured and bedridden now, so it was obvious that he could not play the piano.
The one playing the piano in his room right now...
Huo Zheng walked slowly to the window and looked out, then saw Yuzhu sitting not far from the bed playing the piano.
The sound of the piano lingers in the air, bringing peace to the heart.
Seeing that Gu Yuanjia was still asleep, he did not go into the house. He stood by the window for a long time. When he was about to leave, Yuzhu suddenly stopped playing the zither, stood up, walked to the window and bowed to him, "I didn't know that the prince had arrived. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you."
Huo Zheng said, "You are already doing me a great favor by coming to take care of Yuanjia. I should thank you."
Yuzhu said softly, "Your Highness, you are too kind."
Huo Zheng asked again, "Why are you playing the zither in Yuanjia's room?"
Yuzhu has lived in the Chang'an Palace for quite some time. Huo Zheng has seen her many times, but has never seen her showing off her elegance. Playing the piano in the room of a patient like Yuanjia today is not like Yuzhu's style.
Yuzhu paused for a moment before answering, "Master Gu said his wound hurt and he couldn't sleep, so he asked me to play the zither to help him sleep."
Huo Zheng was silent for a moment after hearing this.
No wonder Gu Yuanjia insisted on having Yuzhu take care of him. When he couldn't sleep, he asked the girl to play the piano to help him sleep.
If it were someone else, who would be able to follow him in everything?
Huo Zheng thought about asking Chunzhi to give Yuzhu some banknotes and some pearl hairpins and jade rings as compensation.
After all, taking care of Mr. Gu is no ordinary trouble.
Huo Zheng thought about this and asked her again: "How is Yuanjia? Has he had lunch? Has he taken his medicine?"
Yuzhu said, "Mr. Gu has been in a coma since taking the medicine this morning. He hasn't had lunch or taken his medicine yet. I plan to wait for two cups of tea. If he doesn't wake up, I'll wake him up."
"Yes." Huo Zheng nodded. "Then wait a little longer. You can rest for a while. Your Highness can just sit in the courtyard. There's no need to be too reserved."
The emperor's decree has been issued. The entire Chang'an Palace, and even the court and the people, know that the Prince of Chang'an is about to leave Beijing to become a fief. Naturally, Gu Yuanjia will also know about this.
Huo Zheng knew why Gu Yuanjia had come to him. Now that he had given up the position of crown prince, he naturally had to explain everything to Gu Yuanjia so that Master Gu could make a new choice in time.
He sat in the yard waiting for Gu Yuanjia to wake up. Having nothing to do, he asked his servant to bring the chessboard. He held a piece in each hand and played chess with himself.
Yuzhu stood by the window for a while, feeling that she couldn't keep Prince Chang'an waiting for too long, and Gu Yuanjia had been sleeping for a long time and it was time for him to wake up.
So she walked gently to Gu Yuanjia's bed and leaned over to see if he showed any signs of waking up.
Just as she leaned closer, Gu Yuanjia suddenly opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Yuzhu."
He looked at Yuzhu with his eyes as dark as ink and asked her, "You sneaked so close to me while I was sleeping...what did you want to do?"
