Chapter 311 Li Yan asks for help
Someone hurried back from the Second Prince's Mansion. He was someone close to Shangguan Nanfeng, and was also the person Li Yan had bribed with a large sum of money. When Shangguan Nanfeng got into trouble in the palace, he slipped out immediately to inform Li Yan.
"What? The second prince was thrown into the Sky Prison?" Li Yan was so shocked that she stood up with her beautiful eyes wide open.
"Yes, it turns out all this was designed by the emperor." The servant had not yet recovered from his shock and was still immersed in the scene he had just witnessed.
"What's going on? Tell me in detail." After hearing the servant's words, Li Yan frowned and then slowly sat down.
"It's like this..." Then the servant told him everything he had seen and heard, of course there were some exaggerations in it.
"What? The emperor actually did this for Shangguan Nanxing?"
Li Yan was completely panicked. She thought Shangguan Nanxing was weak and people outside said he would not live past the age of 20, so she chose Shangguan Nanfeng. However, the emperor's plan made her realize that something was wrong.
Perhaps, Shangguan Nanxing would not live past the age of 20 as rumored.
"You can leave now." After Li Yan gave the order, his mind was racing. Shangguan Nanfeng was thrown into the Sky Prison, and Concubine Hui was locked up in the palace by the Emperor with her life or death unknown. So the Second Prince's mansion must be unsafe.
The Emperor is probably dealing with Concubine Hui now, and hasn't thought about the Second Prince's Mansion yet. Something is bound to happen there tomorrow. Li Yan is not the kind of person who will sit and wait for death, so she has to think of a way.
She looked outside the door. There were not many guards in the Second Prince's Mansion. Because the Second Prince knew that there would be a fierce battle tonight, most of the people had been transferred to the palace.
The news that the Second Prince was thrown into the Sky Prison quickly spread throughout the Second Prince's Mansion, and everyone in the mansion became panicked.
Late at night, the servants who knew about the situation had already packed up and fled outside the mansion with their bags. If they didn't run now, they would be unable to escape when daybreak. They were just servants and there was no reason for them to die with the second prince.
Others who did not understand the situation, seeing someone sneaking away, also started running. The panic spread to every servant in the mansion, and the originally quiet mansion of the Second Prince suddenly became lively.
Li Yan had already packed up everything in the room. Only now did she hear the chaotic noise coming from outside, then she secretly opened the door, picked up her hidden gold and silver, put on an ink-colored cloak, wrapped herself tightly, and quietly slipped out of the side door while the chaos was going on.
Although Li Yan was a concubine, she was a person who did not believe in fate. Since the emperor did not think of the people in the second prince's mansion first, it was fate that was taking care of her and giving her the opportunity to escape.
Not long after, Li Yan arrived at the gate of Minister Li's mansion. She still wanted to give it a try shamelessly, just in case her father could help her out of their blood relationship.
In Minister Li's residence, most people have not gone to bed yet. Li Yan and Su Yue are helping the emperor to deal with Shangguan Nanfeng's matter. After Li Yan's return, the news spread quickly in the residence.
A luxurious banquet had already been set up in the main hall of the Shangshu Mansion, under the pretext of calming Li Yan down.
"Hahaha, good job, my son." Minister Li picked up the wine glass and drank it all. The feeling of frustration caused by being suppressed by Shangguan Nanfeng a few days ago disappeared at this moment.
Thinking of the news he had just received that all the officials who defected to Shangguan Nanfeng had their property confiscated and were exiled, he secretly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
If he hadn't cared about his son's life, he would have joined the Second Prince's camp long ago. Fortunately, his son's illness has not been completely cured.
At this time, Minister Li even began to thank Su Yue for not curing his son directly. Otherwise, he would not be able to withstand the pressure put on him by Shangguan Nanfeng when he came here.
The key point is, who could have thought that all this was actually a trick played by the emperor?
"Father, my son has grown up, and this is what a son should do." Li Yan picked up the wine nonchalantly and drank another glass.
"Son, now the situation in the court is clear, and your father has no other requests. You should quickly marry a wife and give birth to a son to continue the incense of our Li family, otherwise your father will always worry about your life."
After three rounds of drinking, Minister Li began to speak directly to his son.
"Father, what do you mean? Can you ignore me now that you have a grandson?" Li Yan was also drunk. Hearing his father's words, he immediately became unhappy.
"Son, why do you think like that? Can't eggs be put in one basket? If you give birth to more, I won't have to rely on you all. Otherwise, what happened before will happen again, and you will be disobedient and run around. What if you don't have that good luck?"
When Minister Li heard Li Yan's question, he did not shy away from it and directly pointed at Li Yan by counting on his fingers to reason with him.
"Hey, can you two, father and son, have a happy meal together?" Li Yan's biological mother, Qin, saw that her son's face was not right and he was about to quarrel, so she hurriedly spoke to dissuade him.
"Mother, listen to what father said. He doesn't expect anything good from his son." After hearing Qin's words, Li Yan also wilted and muttered.
"Master, can you say something nice?" Qin saw that her son seemed a little aggrieved, so she turned around and tried to persuade Minister Li again.
"Ah, Madam, you don't understand. I am trying to persuade our son to be more obedient. You see, I asked him to hide at the border before, but he didn't listen and came back secretly."
Minister Li realized that his son and wife didn't understand what he had said, so he spoke directly without beating around the bush.
"Father, if you want to blame me for being disobedient, just say it directly. Why are you beating around the bush?" Li Yan said, and drank another glass of wine in great displeasure.
"Father, save me." Just when Minister Li was about to say something, Li Yan walked in from outside.
She asked to see her father on the pretext of having important matters to attend to. Besides, she was still a daughter of the Li family and the second prince's concubine. Even though she asked for an audience late at night, the servants who did not know the truth did not try to stop her.
"Why are you here?" Minister Li was about to say something when he heard his daughter's voice. As soon as he asked the question, he thought of Li Yan's current identity, and then he broke out in a cold sweat and sobered up a lot.
My daughter is now the concubine of the second prince. The second prince has committed such a serious crime, Li Yan will definitely not be able to escape, so will my family be implicated?
"Go away, go away. You're married now. You have nothing to do with our Li family anymore." Just when Li Yan was getting ready to cry, Minister Li drove her away without any hesitation.
"Father, I am your daughter. You can't just ignore me. Can you save Yan'er?"
Li Yan didn't expect her father to be so straightforward, so she gave up beating around the bush and directly told him her plan to come here.
"Hey, why is the arrogant Second Prince's concubine here? Our family is small and cannot accommodate a big Buddha like you."
Li Yan saw that Li Yan actually came, so he made a sarcastic remark.
"Father, please save me." Li Yan didn't care about other people's ridicule at this moment. The most important thing now was to save his own life.
"You chose your husband yourself, so you have to bear the consequences yourself. Don't run around anymore, otherwise..."
Otherwise it will harm my Li family.
Minister Li did not say the following words, but he suddenly thought, if he let Li Yan run away, would the emperor think that he helped Li Yan escape?
Thinking of this, Minister Li's expression suddenly changed and he looked at Li Yan.
