Chapter 409 The Secret Cannot Be Revealed
Five years ago, he never went back to the Dayan in his dream after he woke up.
He didn't know how Yan Xingtian in his dream governed Dayan.
He also never knew the real cause of death of him, Li'er, and several other children in his dreams.
But he can now be very sure that the secret cannot be leaked.
Because five years ago, after the Ghost Festival that night, it was Yan Xingtian who woke up the next day.
Yan Shixu was excited to talk to him, about how he had been doing recently and how they all died.
However, Yan Xingtian just looked at him with a complicated expression.
And he was silent for a long time before trying to answer.
But before Yan Xingtian could speak, he fainted again.
When he woke up again, he had returned to his childish self, Tiantian, who, although extremely intelligent, had no idea about dreams.
Yan Shixu was filled with regret. He had vaguely guessed that this might be a secret from heaven that Yan Xingtian could not tell.
Just like that year during the Dragon Boat Festival, he held his mother back and wouldn't let her go to the moat...
Just like Yan Xingtian tried to tell him the truth...
Everyone will faint.
Fortunately, he came back two months later.
Yan Shixu and Yan Xingtian tacitly agreed not to talk about anything in the dream anymore.
But even so, Yan Xingtian would still leave and come back from time to time.
It’s as if in this time and space, there is a set of rules and regulations that strictly monitor Yan Xingtian.
Besides not being able to talk about dreams, there are many other rules and regulations.
If he breaks any of the rules, he will disappear.
Yan Shixu secretly read a lot of books about strange stories, but they didn't help him.
They also went to Huguo Temple to find out something from Master Xuwu.
But Master Xuwu only said:
——Everything in fate is predetermined, but it is not unchangeable; gain and loss are all due to fate, when fate ends, things will disperse, when fate begins, things will gather. Only when there are worries in the heart can we open up the path of variables in the fixed number——
Wen Li'er saw that the emperor became dazed while talking.
She put her little face in front of his, blinked her big eyes at him, and then gently shook his hand back.
"Your Majesty is right. The children are still young. Isn't Xiaoxiao's trip this time also a test of experience? Your Majesty has already made up his mind, so we will proceed according to your pace. I trust your Majesty's vision, and I also trust... our children."
When she spoke of "our children," she spoke with a mother's tenderness and firmness.
Yan Shixu felt warm in his heart, and the uncertainty in his heart completely disappeared.
Yes, Tiantian is their child.
Why did he want to find out how Yan Xingtian in his dream was managing Dayan?
It is enough for him to believe that Yan Xingtian is managing things well and that it will be another peaceful and prosperous era.
Yan Shixu put his arm around Wen Li'er's shoulders, held her in his arms, and gently rubbed his chin against the top of her soft head.
"With Li'er by my side, I feel at peace."
"That brat Xiaoxiao... I have received a secret report from the secret guards. They have arrived safely in Suzhou and are currently observing the people's sentiments. They are safe and sound."
"I have the secret guards deliver news back to the capital every three days to prevent you from worrying day and night."
Wen Li'er snuggled in his strong and warm arms, smelling the familiar scent of ambergris mixed with sunshine on his body, and responded softly.
She suddenly remembered something and looked up at him.
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing."
"Hmm?" Yan Shixu lowered his head and rubbed his chin against the top of her soft head, motioning her to continue.
"In two days, it will be my mother's fiftieth birthday."
Wen Li'er's voice was soft, with a girl's intimacy.
"Tomorrow I want to take the children out of the palace and stay at the Wen Mansion for a day so that I can help my mother with the preparations. The little ones have been missing their grandmother for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Yan Shixu almost subconsciously opened his mouth and said, "I also..."
However, before he could utter the words "go together", he suddenly stopped.
Tomorrow... no.
Today, the dispute over the succession to the throne is raging in the court. Several cabinet ministers are speaking fiercely and with firm attitudes. Tomorrow, he must personally take charge and discuss in detail with the court's important ministers the matter of appointing Tiantian as the successor. He must also summon several relatives and nobles.
When Li'er left the palace, he expected to be unable to leave.
Thinking of this, Yan Shixu felt a little regretful.
He could only hold the person in his arms tighter: "I can't go with you tomorrow, but on my mother-in-law's fiftieth birthday, I will definitely be there to celebrate in person."
Wen Li'er nodded gently in his arms. The affairs of the court, especially those concerning the succession of the crown prince, could not be taken lightly.
She tenderly stroked the coiled dragon embroidery on his robe and said gently, "State affairs are more important. I'll talk to Mother about this. If Your Majesty truly can't spare the time, it's fine if you don't go. Mother is always understanding and won't mind."
"That won't do." Yan Shixu immediately retorted in a firm tone.
He loosened his arms slightly, cupped her face, and said seriously, "My mother-in-law's fiftieth birthday is a major event for the Wen family, and it's also my own. I said I'd go in person, and I will definitely go. No matter how busy I am, I can always make time to take you and the children back to the palace."
Having said this, he paused, a hint of mischief flashing in his eyes.
"Besides, if I don't go, my mother-in-law will probably think that Li'er has fallen out of favor."
Wen Li'er was amused by him and burst out laughing, then glared at him.
"My mother wouldn't think so. She always told me not to lose my composure just because His Majesty favors me. So, how could she possibly make such assumptions about the Emperor just because His Majesty didn't have time to attend her birthday party?"
Yan Shixu raised his eyebrows. Did his mother-in-law ever say such things?
No wonder his Li'er is so well-behaved and sensible, it turns out that it was her mother-in-law who taught her well.
He leaned over and kissed her on the mouth again.
Wen Li'er pushed his face away and turned her head away to avoid his kiss.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to attend to state affairs!"
Yan Shixu touched his nose and stood up reluctantly.
Taking advantage of Wen Li'er's relaxed guard, he immediately leaned over and bit her lips hard, then left satisfied.
Wen Li'er stared at his back as he walked away, feeling both amused and helpless.
