Chapter 45 Deadlock



Chen Yan has been having a hard time recently.

She had no idea who she had offended. She just felt that all the things she had done and was proud of in the past had now become sharp blades stabbing her.

She watched as the emperor's gaze towards her changed from trust to suspicion.

Looking at the ministers in the court, his admiration for himself turned into curiosity.

Chen Yan's face was dark, and she didn't even look happy towards Jun Mochen.

Seeing that Chen Yan, who had always been gentle to him, had become cold and hostile towards him, Jun Mochen thought that she knew that all this was caused by him, and he suddenly felt even more guilty.

"Yan Yan, I'm sorry. It's all because of me that I got into so much trouble."

Chen Yan couldn't handle his own affairs at the moment. In order to settle those he had deployed, he was busy almost every day.

Seeing this man who did nothing all day actually having the energy to come up to her and say these weird things, she felt even more annoyed.

"What does this have to do with you?"

Jun Mochen was stunned. "Isn't it because Prince An wanted to vent his anger on Sang Liwan's behalf and deliberately retaliate against you that you are angry with me?"

"Prince An? Jun Moyi?"

Chen Yan was stunned, vaguely feeling that he seemed to have missed something very important.

Jun Mochen didn't understand why Chen Yan reacted so strongly, but he nodded honestly, "Yes, it's him. It must be because Sang Liwan whispered something in his ear, so he treated you like this. But don't worry, I've already warned Sang Liwan..."

Chen Yan had no time to listen to Jun Mochen's vague words. Now, she was even more shocked by the fact that Jun Moyi's power was so great.

Among those who targeted her this time were ministers from various departments of the court. Although their positions were not high, they were very persuasive in their words.

There were a few of them that Chen Yan had even tried to win over from the beginning, but to no avail.

Unexpectedly, these were all Jun Moyi's people.

How powerful is Jun Moyi?

And now, Jun Moyi attacked himself because of Sang Liwan. Does he care about this woman so much?

If this is really the case, then it will be difficult for me to take a step forward in the future.

Also, can all the things that have been deployed and arranged be preserved?

At this moment, Chen Yan only felt his temples throbbing, and countless threads in his mind were entangled together, eventually forming a knot.

She needs to think about it carefully.

Jun Mochen was still confessing his feelings to Chen Yan, but he didn't know that the other party didn't listen at all.

I even thought he was very noisy.

At this moment, she had completely lost the desire to flatter Jun Mochen. She just said, "I'm a little confused right now. Let me think about it."

He just walked away without saying another word to Jun Mochen.

Jun Mochen opened his mouth, feeling that he still had a lot to say to her, but unfortunately, he called her several times and Chen Yan did not stop, but walked faster and faster.

Seeing this, Jun Mochen felt a little regretful, but he also knew that Chen Yan must be exhausted these days, and her mood must not be very good, so it would be better for him not to disturb her.

Thinking of this, Jun Mochen's originally lost mood became firm again.

He felt that he should go to his father and ask him to marry Chen Yan for him as soon as possible. When Chen Yan really became his princess consort, Jun Moyi would naturally stop targeting her.

The more Jun Mochen thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth. He clasped his hands together and turned a corner and walked towards the emperor's study.

He had already thought of his words in his mind and was planning to give an impassioned speech in front of the emperor.

But what he didn't expect was that he didn't even see the emperor.

Looking at Eunuch Li, whose old face was smiling like a chrysanthemum, Jun Mochen frowned, "Eunuch Li, I really have something urgent to see my father. Could you please inform him for me?"

Eunuch Li wore a fake smile and said, "Second Prince, we are not deliberately trying to embarrass you. It is simply that His Majesty is discussing important matters with the court officials and has said he will not see anyone. If we let you in, wouldn't that be disobeying His Majesty's order?"

No matter how reckless Jun Mochen was, he knew that he could not enter the imperial study without permission, not to mention that Eunuch Li had already told him in advance.

Jun Mochen was anxious and tiptoed over Eunuch Li to take a look into the study, but unfortunately the thick curtains were drawn and he couldn't see anything.

In the end, Jun Mochen left dejectedly.

Only when he saw Jun Mochen's figure gradually disappearing did Eunuch Li put away the fake smile on his face. He stretched out his hand and waved the whisk. After instructing the eunuchs at the door to guard the door well, he lifted the curtain and walked in.

What caught my eye was the emperor sitting at the table reading a book. There was no third person in the imperial study.

Hearing the noise, the emperor didn't even raise his eyelids, but asked calmly: "Is he gone?"

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince has already left."

The emperor nodded and casually turned a page of the book.

Noticing Eunuch Li's hesitant look, the emperor said, "Just say whatever you want to say."

Eunuch Li did not expect that even though his sight was so concealed, it was still discovered by the emperor.

His old face turned red, he chuckled twice, and then walked diligently to the emperor to serve him.

"Your Majesty, I am a little puzzled. You have already guessed that the Second Prince would come, so why didn't you see him?"

Hearing this, the emperor snorted in annoyance and said, "He must have come here to ask me to arrange a marriage between him and Chen Yan. If I refuse, I don't know what he will do next. I might as well disappear."

Now, Eunuch Li was even more confused.

"Your Majesty, I am a little confused. Haven't you always been optimistic about him and Ms. Shen? Why are you now..."

"That was in the past." The emperor's voice was flat. "In the past, I only thought that Chen Yan was steady and generous, knew how to advance and retreat properly, and was able to get along with everyone. If she married Chen'er, she would definitely become Chen'er's powerful assistant in the future, but look at what happened these days."

"Although these things are a bit strange, after so many days, she is still like a headless fly, helpless. Now, I really doubt her ability."

"So, I decided to observe it a little longer."

Eunuch Li nodded as if suddenly realizing something, "I understand."

The emperor turned another page of the book.

"What has Prince An been doing lately?"

Eunuch Li was stunned for a moment, then said, "His Royal Highness Prince An has been claiming to be ill these days and has stayed in Prince An's mansion. He hasn't left the house."

The emperor's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Is he demonstrating to me?"
