Chapter 489: Killing and Decisive
"When I got into trouble, the prince was hosting a banquet for you, a guilty minister." Princess Yan sneered, "If this gets out, the emperor will definitely scold the prince."
The Prince of Yan loves his wife dearly, and he has already suffered a blow. If he is punished with another crime, he will probably never recover.
"The person who planned this is really afraid that the prince will not fall." Princess Yan glanced at Xiao Yan, "Am I right?"
Xiao Yan nodded.
I have to say that the Princess of Yan is much more clear-headed than the Prince of Yan.
Moreover, she is also a decisive person.
Let's hear what she has to say.
Princess Yan placed her hand on her flat belly. "We've been patient and tolerant, but it hasn't earned us any sympathy. If a disaster strikes someday, I'm afraid His Majesty won't be as lucky as you, to receive the golden medal of immunity."
Whether the golden medal of immunity from death can be used depends mainly on whether the emperor is willing.
The current emperor is kind and benevolent, but the future emperor will probably regard Prince Yan as a thorn in his side.
"It's not always possible to turn danger into safety." Princess Yan seemed to be talking to herself. "Since this is the case, why not give it a try? Xiao Yan, what do you think?"
Xiao Yan did not answer immediately, but looked at Mr. Zhuge.
There was no trace of surprise on Mr. Zhuge's face.
Obviously, he was on the side of Princess Yan.
Princess Yan seemed to know what Xiao Yan was thinking and said calmly, "Speaking of which, it was me who introduced Mr. Zhuge to His Majesty."
She actually admitted without hesitation that the most trusted adviser around the King of Yan was her man.
"I see." Xiao Yan nodded, "I wonder what your Majesty the Princess is planning."
"The prince and I have been married for ten years," Princess Yan said. "No one understands the prince's character better than me. Even with a knife at his neck, the prince still has illusions about the emperor and the prince."
Even if she was assassinated, it would obviously not be enough to kill two people.
"And if I'm not mistaken, we won't be able to find out anything from those two maids."
Since the prince dared to send them, he must have been prepared to be captured alive.
They should all be dead soldiers.
"Princess, I would like to ask why these people were able to follow you."
Someone like Princess Yan should be very cautious when employing people.
"Because this is the person my mother gave me." Princess Yan said, "I never thought that my mother's family would actually go to the Crown Prince."
Xiao Yan: "...Is there any misunderstanding here?"
"There is no misunderstanding. I know everything about my mother's family." A fierce look flashed in Princess Yan's eyes.
It's okay to suffer a loss just once.
She would no longer harbor any illusions.
After hearing this, Xiao Yan said nothing more.
"Originally, this time, I thought, would probably end in nothing, just like before," Princess Yan said, "but I don't want to endure it any longer. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid that for the rest of my life, I, and my descendants, will live such a pathetic life!"
Even others will not give them the opportunity to continue to be cowardly.
"Princess, please explain clearly."
Princess Yan smiled faintly. "Come to think of it, you also escaped death this time, so you must have a lot of feelings in your heart. Instead of being like an ant, being crushed to death at any time, it's better to fight hard, right?"
Xiao Yan nodded, "I'd like to hear the details."
He came to see Mr. Zhuge today, and his purpose coincided with what Princess Yan said.
Xiao Yan knew that Mr. Zhuge was a "warmongerer" around Prince Yan.
The King of Yan had an army under his command, and he was brave and good at fighting, and he also had great prestige in the army.
Moreover, he is the emperor's son and has the right to inherit the throne.
He was granted fiefdom in Jinling, far away from the capital, so if he really wanted to do something, he could do it without being noticed.
Princess Yan said, "Since the Crown Prince doesn't want to leave any evidence, then we might as well create some for him."
Xiao Yan stayed with Mr. Zhuge for a full hour before going back.
San Ya really had a fever.
Lu Qiniang was right beside him, feeling anxious.
Xiao Yan invited Dr. Hu again.
"It's nothing serious, just get over it."
Doctor Hu's words failed to reassure Xiao Yan and Lu Qiniang.
The two of them stayed with San Ya all night.
San Ya's fever didn't subside until dawn.
She struggled to open her eyes, looked at her parents, and said with a grin, "Dad, Mom——"
Hoarse voice.
"Awake, Sanya, are you hungry?" Lu Qiniang asked, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Her voice was so gentle and unlike her.
San Ya looked at her, then looked at Xiao Yan, "Mom, am I going to die?"
Lu Qi's mother: "Nonsense! You are fine! You are just a child, why are you talking about birth and death? If you have to die, your mother will be the first to die."
Xiao Yan: "...You're fine."
He didn't want the mother and daughter to talk about death again, and he was terrified.
"I'm okay?" Sanya was a little unconvinced. "If I were okay, why would my mother speak to me so gently?"
Lu Qin's mother howled in anger, "If I don't show my power, you will feel uncomfortable, right?"
"That's right." San Ya muttered softly.
She thought of what happened last night and asked Xiao Yan, "Dad, did I really kill someone?"
Xiao Yan nodded, "You did a great job. Are you still afraid?"
"I'm not afraid anymore." San Ya shook her head, but she couldn't help but touch her face, remembering the feeling of warm blood falling on her face. "I just feel a little disgusted and scared."
Thinking about it now, it was really a life-or-death struggle.
"Don't be afraid. When I have time in the future, I will teach you more. Doesn't Jiaojiao want to be a great general? This is the only way for you to become a great general."
Thinking of her own ambitions, San Ya immediately perked up.
That’s right, this is just the beginning.
She's doing it again!
Seeing that she was fine, Xiao Yan asked Lu Qiniang to go and rest.
After all, Lu Qinniang had just given birth to a child, and Xiao Yan was always worried that she would overwork herself and develop a chronic illness in the future.
Xiao Yan himself went to King Yan.
The King of Yan invited people to serve the banquet.
He really didn't find anything.
"I guess he might be anti-party." Prince Yan said to himself.
Then he remembered Xiao Yan's identity and continued, "You naturally have nothing to do with them. When you were in trouble, I even wrote a memorial to the Emperor to plead for mercy. This incident was truly an unprovoked disaster for you. It's a pity that I couldn't help you."
"Thank you, Your Highness. You and I have known each other for many years, and our affections run deep. I know all of this."
As they were talking, the servant beside King Yan brought a pot of wine.
"Come, pour some wine," said the King of Yan. "It's so hard to meet you, but we'll soon go our separate ways. Let's have a nice drink together."
"I don't know what kind of wine this is." Xiao Yan laughed, "The last time I went to the palace, I drank the fine wine that the prince had stored for many years. I still remember it after returning to Beijing."
"You'll know after trying it." King Yan said with a smile.
The servant poured wine for the two of them.
Prince Yan raised his glass and said, "Come, Xiao Yan, I toast you. I hope you go to Qiongzhou and return safely. I'll wait for you in Jinling!"
Xiao Yan also raised his glass, "Thank you, Your Highness. I wish you a smooth journey north."
Suddenly, he reached out and stopped King Yan who was putting the wine glass to his lips.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment—"
