Ye Chen looked at Chu Jingyan and said, "Just because you are not allowed to send letters out of the palace doesn't mean An Ning is not allowed to write to you. You can ask the Emperor to write to the Prince of Zhennan and have him tell An Ning to write to you."
Chu Jingyan shook his head. "Father disagreed. He just said An Ning was fine and there was no need for us to worry about her, and he told us not to ask any more questions. But Mother misses An Ning so much, that's why I came here to ask my cousin to contact An Ning and ask her to write a letter to Mother."
"Since the emperor said that Princess An Ning is fine, she should be fine. The imperial concubine and the eldest prince don't have to worry. If the eldest prince has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first." After saying that, he no longer paid any attention to Chu Jingyan and strode away.
Since the emperor doesn't want them to have any contact with the Prince of Zhennan, why should he disobey? They just think that if he disobeys the emperor, although nothing will happen, the trust between him and the emperor will be cracked, and the loss will outweigh the gain. Compared with the emperor, they are really not important to him.
It was already time for lighting when Ye Chen returned home. The servants in the mansion were carrying lamp oil and tinder and lighting the lamps everywhere. Some were adding lamp oil, while others were lighting lamps. They were busy but not chaotic.
When Ye Chen was walking towards Qiuchen Courtyard, he saw Xiao Hang walking towards the medicine garden with his head down. It seemed that he had just come out of Qiuchen Courtyard. Ye Chen asked someone to tell Chen Qiu, and then he went to chase Xiao Hang.
Xiao Hang was a martial artist, so he naturally heard the sound of the people behind him running. In the Ye Mansion, only Ye Chen could run like this. Even if the servants were in a hurry, they didn't have the courage to run like this.
Before Xiao Hang could decide whether to stop and wait for Ye Chen, he was tapped on the shoulder. "Want to chat?"
Xiao Hang smiled bitterly, "Okay, drink with me? Your wife wouldn't object, would she?"
Ye Chen punched Xiao Hang, "Why are you being so weird? Qiu'er didn't interfere in your affairs. Besides, in my opinion, it's too late for Lan Yu to make this decision. If it were me, I wouldn't want you anymore. It's annoying to see you acting so half-heartedly."
Xiao Hang looked at Ye Chen with bitter eyes, "Do you also think Lan Yu was right to abandon me?"
Ye Chen was so angry that he laughed, "No, Xiao Hangzi, when did you become so... Never mind, I just want to ask what you think? Do you still want to get Lan Yu back?"
Xiao Hang continued walking forward, "Does it matter whether I want to or not? Lan Yu has already decided to go back to Ye Nan."
Ye Chen was also stunned when he heard that Lan Yu was going back to Ye Nan, but then he thought about it and realized that it was not surprising. If it were him, he would leave too.
Ye Chen pushed Xiao Hang hard, "What's wrong with you? I've never seen you so lifeless in other matters. What's wrong? I want to beat you to death. If you don't care about me anymore, then it's not wrong for me to go back to Yenan. After all, I came to Kyoto to chase you. Now that you don't care about me, there's no point for me to stay here any longer."
Xiao Hang took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Who said I don't care about her? I tried my best to be worthy of her, and tried my best to stop my pride from getting in the way. But before I could defeat my pride, she gave up on me. She won't wait for me anymore!"
Ye Chen stepped forward and nodded at Xiao Hang, "Do you want to get her back? She was the one chasing you before, but now you can't chase her? If you can't, it means you don't care about her that much, so why not let her go home?"
Xiao Hang thought for a moment, "Can you help me?"
Ye Chen looked at Xiao Hang, "Are you sure you want to get her back? You won't get her back and then treat her like this time, not paying any attention to her?"
Xiao Hang nodded solemnly, rubbing his thumbs together. "Today I feel like I've fallen into a bottomless abyss. I used to know she was always there for me, but today I really feel like she's abandoning me. I don't know what to do!"
Ye Chen snorted, "Serves you right. A grown man acting like that every day. Lan Yu is amazing. She actually put up with you for so long." At this point, Ye Chen seemed to think of his past life. He suddenly lowered his head and murmured, "I used to be just like you, and ended up making big mistakes. I hope you don't follow my path!"
Although Ye Chen spoke softly, Xiao Hang still heard it. However, he did not ask any questions. The two of them walked towards the medicine garden together.
When we arrived at the medicine garden, we had someone bring some wine. Just as we were lamenting the lack of food, Xing'er came over with a food box. "Madam said you might drink, so she asked me to bring some snacks."
Ye Chen took the food box and said, "Let Qiu'er rest early. If I'm not back by midnight, let Mu Qing come and carry me back. I don't want to sleep with him."
Xing'er said yes and left. Ye Chen shook the food box in his hand and said, "There are vegetables."
The two chatted while drinking, "Do you have any way to help me get Lan Yu back?"
Ye Chen took a sip of wine, and the spicy taste made him choke. He wasn't a good drinker. In his previous life, after Chen Qiu died, he drank every day and was drunk almost every day. Every day, people wanted to wait for him to get drunk and climb into his bed. Unfortunately, after Chen Qiu died, he became impotent, and none of those people succeeded. His impotence spread throughout Kyoto, and in the end, he never developed a good alcohol tolerance.
Ye Chen put down his wine glass and filled them up again. "Shameless," Ye Chen suddenly said. Xiao Hang didn't react at first.
Seeing Xiao Hang's confused look, Ye Chen started his shameless pursuit of his wife again.
"The most important thing about pursuing a wife is to be shameless. You have to be persistent and follow her around all the time, making sure she can't avoid you even if she doesn't want to see you. But you also have to respect her and not do anything that violates her bottom line. Of course, if you really have someone in your heart, you can't force yourself on her."
Xiao Hang laughed angrily, "What kind of perverse logic is this!"
Ye Chen shook his index finger and pointed at Xiao Hang, "You, don't worry about whether it's right or wrong, as long as it works. Look, didn't Lan Yu use this trick to pursue you? She's a girl, a princess of a country, and the next heir to the regent. She can put down her dignity and chase you so far, why can't you do the same? If you can't, it means you don't care. If you don't care, why do you want me to teach you?"
Xiao Hang lowered his head, then picked up the wine jug and took several gulps, then wiped his mouth vigorously, "Okay, I'll do it, Lan Yu, I, Xiao Hang, will definitely catch up with you. From the day I plucked your feather in this life, I never thought of marrying anyone else. It's me, Xiao Hang, who doesn't know what's good for me. I don't want my face anymore, even if one day you want to kill me, I won't say a word." Wait for me, don't give up on me in a hurry!
Xiao Hang said the last sentence quietly in his heart. He was really panicked. He had never been so panicked as today. At first, Lan Yu refused to see him, and he thought Lan Yu was throwing a tantrum. Later, Lan Yu said through the window that she didn't want to marry him anymore. He began to panic, but still thought that Lan Yu was throwing a tantrum. But when Lan Yu said those words in front of him in the end, he realized what kind of situation he was in.
He regretted it, really regretted it, but it was too late. Lan Yu didn't forgive him and didn't want him anymore. Since he had lost the most important person, what was the point of having face? He didn't want it anymore. As long as he could get her back, nothing else mattered!
