Chapter 303 The Third Prince Returns with Fanfare
"Yuer, where have you been during this time? When I was out playing with Brother Ziyi, my father told me that you were going to marry Shangguan Nanfeng. I guess my father must have thought that I had been playing for too long and didn't go home, so he wanted to force me to go back.
Then I definitely don’t believe it. How could I, Chen Wanwan, not know who you, Su Yue, like? So I ignored my father at that time. It was not until I came back that I found out it was true. But I didn’t expect that you ran away from the marriage?
I heard that Shangguan Nanfeng looked extremely bad at the time, as if he was going to kill someone. ”
Chen Wanwan took Su Yue and started talking a lot as soon as they arrived at the guest room.
"Su Yue, it seems we are being targeted." Just as Su Yue was about to speak, Li Yan said this with a stern face, and then told her what he saw at the door.
"What? Who has the guts to spy in front of the Taiwei Mansion?" After hearing what Li Yan said, Chen Wanwan was so angry that she immediately turned around and prepared to go to the door to take a closer look.
"It should be Shangguan Nanfeng's people." Su Yue grabbed Chen Wanwan and guessed in a low voice.
"What? He is not satisfied with locking my father up in the Golden Palace, and he wants to send people to monitor my family?"
Chen Wanwan was furious when she heard Su Yue's words, but when she thought that the other party was Shangguan Nanfeng, she could only say a few words and then stopped dejectedly.
"Wanwan, I don't think I will stay here for long. I want to ask you, is Chu Ziyi in the palace?" Su Yue saw that Chen Wanwan had calmed down, so she asked directly.
The process of Shangguan Nanfeng's forcing the emperor to abdicate this time was basically the same as in his previous life, but the only difference was that in the previous life, Chu Ziyi broke off the engagement, and General Chen, in a rage because of his beloved daughter, mobilized his forces to pull Chu Ziyi down.
As for Li Yan, Chu Ziyi lost his position as the commander of the Imperial Guard after she forcefully broke off the engagement. Li Yan felt that Chu Ziyi had fallen into a quagmire, so she kicked Chu Ziyi away and joined Shangguan Nanfeng.
Chu Ziyi was originally the commander of the imperial palace guards, and his martial arts were not weak. If he was still there in the previous life, Shangguan Nanfeng would not have been able to force the emperor to abdicate so smoothly. But in this life, Chu Ziyi was clearly still the commander of the imperial guards, so why was Shangguan Nanfeng so quick?
"The emperor saw that Brother Ziyi was working hard, so he let Brother Ziyi rest for a while a while ago. We just came back, and Brother Ziyi knew about the palace as soon as he came back. He has been blaming himself and was unhappy. If I hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed into the palace long ago."
When Chen Wanwan said this, her mood became completely depressed. Her father was imprisoned by Shangguan Nanfeng, and her fiancé was depressed all day long because of self-blame. All this was caused by Shangguan Nanfeng.
"Wanwan, take us to find Chu Ziyi. As for my matter, I will slowly tell you after everything is settled."
Su Yue noticed that Chen Wanwan was in a low mood, but now was not the time to comfort her, so she could only pat her hands.
"Okay, follow me." After listening to Su Yue's words, Chen Wanwan took a few deep breaths, adjusted her mood, and then took the lead to walk out of the guest room.
"Su Yue, did Shangguan Nanfeng force the emperor to abdicate?"
At this moment, Li Yan, who had been silent all the time, followed Su Yue and asked softly. His father sent him away without saying a word. Combined with the conversation between the two women just now, Li Yan could no longer guess. It was really like what Su Yue said, that his brain was not working well.
"Yes, so Dongyou is in great danger now."
Su Yue followed Chen Wanwan and directly responded to Li Yan's words. From beginning to end, she had never thought of hiding it from Li Yan, but she also had no obligation to take the initiative to inform Li Yan.
"Su Yue, I have to go back to see my father. I can't follow you. I'll leave my few secret guards to you."
When Li Yan heard Su Yue's affirmative answer, he became worried about his father, so he said goodbye to Su Yue directly.
"Li Yan, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not. Since your father sent you away, he must have realized that it was dangerous over there. Now that you are going back, have you failed your father's painstaking efforts? What's more, will your going back harm your father? Have you ever considered these?"
Su Yue turned her head and looked at Li Yan, and her words were spoken sincerely.
To be fair, Su Yue has always been using Li Yan. In fact, his life and death have nothing to do with her. But just now, when Li Yan said that he would leave his secret guards to her, she knew that Li Yan treated her as a friend.
Since he is sincere and treats her as a friend, then she, Su Yue, is not an ungrateful person.
"Do you mean that I shouldn't go back?" Li Yan felt conflicted after hearing Su Yue's words. He was worried about his father, but what Su Yue said was not unreasonable.
"Your father has eaten decades more than you. You have to believe your father." Su Yue did not directly answer Li Yan's words, but said this.
"Then I won't go back." When Li Yan heard Su Yue say this, he thought about his father's usual style of doing things and felt a little relieved. Maybe it was really like Su Yue said, if he went back, he would harm his father instead.
"Well, for now, let's go and solve the bigger troubles and let your father see that you, Li Yan, can also do great things."
After Su Yue finished speaking, she turned around and watched Chen Wanwan walking further and further away, and she knew that she was not going through the main gate. It seemed that she had remembered what she had said before, that Shangguan Nanfeng had sent people to target this place.
"You're right. I will follow you to do big things." Li Yan was completely relieved at this time and followed Su Yue.
"Be smart and don't implicate Yue'er." Chen Wanwan, who was walking in front, heard the conversation between the two and made a direct complaint.
"Okay, there is a small door here. It's very close to Brother Li Yi's house. I had someone build it." Just when Li Yan was about to refute something, Chen Wanwan finally stopped and pointed at a door next to her.
"Let's go. It's not advisable to stay in this Taiwei Mansion for long." Su Yue walked forward and pushed open the door. Then Chen Wanwan and Li Yan followed him out.
Not long after Su Yue left, Shangguan Nanfeng sent a group of people to break into the Taiwei Mansion. Because of Gu Qingzhi's matter, he did not come in person this time.
As you can imagine, they searched around but found nothing.
When the early morning sun fully illuminated the Dongyou Imperial City, the city had already become bustling.
"The Third Prince has returned with the food!"
Someone shouted, and all the chattering people stopped and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
Under the sunlight, a young man with black hair and dark clothes rode on a horse and walked slowly in from the city gate.
He pursed his thin lips tightly, and the sunlight was reflected in his eyes with a different kind of brilliance.
Although he was riding a horse, he walked very slowly, as if he was deliberately attracting so many people to watch. Because of his speed, more and more people were watching.
"The Third Prince is really back!"
Another loud shout came from somewhere, and many people who had never seen a member of the royal family, all crowded over, vying to see the true appearance of the third prince.
To them, the most mysterious person in the Dongyou royal family is the third prince. It is said that the third prince has had poor health since birth, and the imperial physician even said that the third prince will not live past the age of twenty.
"Is this the Third Prince? He doesn't look like he will live past the age of twenty as rumored..."
A man pointed at Shangguan Nanxing and spoke to the person next to him.
"Bah, if you don't want to live, don't take me with you. If you want to fart, go somewhere else."
The person next to him interrupted him before he could finish speaking, and turned around to look for another good place to stay away from this man.
"I'm just saying it casually."
The man glanced at the person far away from him and muttered.
When he looked up, he met Shangguan Nanxing's gaze. At that glance, the man was so scared that he lowered his head very low, fearing that what he had just said would be heard by the Third Prince.
