In the clan residence, Yu Jin was quite troubled.
Although there will always be a day to leave, it is not exciting to stay in a place like this for one more day.
There is no steamed meat, no Erniu, and most importantly, no wife!
A eunuch, led by a minor official, came over and said with a smile, "Greetings to the prince."
Yu Jin raised his eyes lazily.
He looks familiar, perhaps the eunuch who follows Pan Hai.
Yu Jin hummed lightly.
The eunuch smiled and said, "Your Highness, I have received orders from Eunuch Pan to take you out."
Yu Jin suddenly perked up, but his face remained expressionless: "Take me out?"
"Yes, the emperor wants you to go back to Prince Yan's Mansion. You don't need to stay here."
The clerk at the side widened his eyes in shock, looked at the eunuch, then looked at Yu Jian, feeling that it was quite unreal.
Last night he was thinking that someone like the Prince of Yan would be locked up for at least a year and a half, so how come he was released today?
The Prince of Yan was imprisoned for beating the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince was beaten, but the punishment was so light?
Unfortunately, the poor clerk didn't know at this time that the deposed prince would soon come to stay for a while, and was filled with confusion.
Yu Jin stood up leisurely, brushed off the non-existent dust on his body, and nodded slightly: "Thank you for your help."
Thinking of the deposed prince's crying and wailing, and then looking at Prince Yan's calmness, the eunuch shook his head secretly.
No wonder the crown prince was deposed. The crown prince of a country is not as magnanimous as the Prince of Yan, who grew up outside the palace.
To be honest, it is not a bad thing for such a prince to be deposed...
The eunuch's heart sank, realizing that he was thinking too far ahead, so he quickly collected his thoughts, smiled apologetically, and led the way for the Prince of Yan.
Yu Jin walked past the clerk, paused slightly, and said calmly, "Thank you for taking care of me these days."
The clerk wiped his sweat and said hurriedly: "Your Highness is too polite. Please come again in the future..."
Seeing the eunuch's surprised look, the clerk suddenly stopped talking and slapped himself: "Look at my broken mouth. I talk nonsense when I'm nervous. Please forgive me, Your Majesty..."
As for an insignificant minor official, Yu Jin was a little dissatisfied that he did not prepare steamed meat for her, but she did not take it to heart. She just nodded and strode forward.
The clerk hurriedly followed behind to see him off.
Not long after walking out, several people came towards him, and the one walking in the middle was the deposed prince.
The two sides met together.
Yu Jin looked at the deposed prince and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Second brother, what are you doing——"
The deposed prince was stunned for a moment, then suddenly rushed over.
Yu Jin grabbed the deposed prince's dancing hand and frowned, "Although my second brother is the prince, he can't just hit someone without saying anything, right?"
The deposed prince stared at him, breathing heavily.
Pan Hai at the side reminded: "Prince, Prince Jing is no longer the crown prince."
"Prince Jing?" Yu Jin showed a look of surprise at the right moment.
The deposed prince felt even more humiliated and angry, staring at Yu Jin with eyes as sharp as knives.
Yu Jin was even more surprised: "The crown prince was deposed, could it be that I have something to do with it?"
Pan Hai's mouth twitched.
This King of Yan really dares to say anything.
"How could that be possible? This matter has nothing to do with the prince."
Yu Jin glanced at the deposed prince and smiled: "It has nothing to do with me. I thought it was my fault. My second brother looked like he was going to kill me."
"Seventh Brother, you bastard, you beat me that day and said--" Facing Yu Jin's cold eyes, the deposed prince shuddered for some reason and stopped talking.
He was beaten by Old Seven that day and thought Old Seven was doomed. Unexpectedly, Old Seven was still arrogant and even said to him when no one was paying attention: "Don't be complacent, second brother. Things will change. Today I will live in the clan residence, and maybe one day, second brother will move in..."
At the time he thought it was ridiculous, but he never expected it to come true.
"Brother, we are all educated and sensible people. It is not good to shout for war and killing all the time. Besides, you will not live here for a long time, so you should be calm."
Pan Hai took the opportunity to persuade the deposed prince: "Your Highness, what the Prince of Yan said makes sense. You should go over quickly. The Emperor is angry now. If something gets out, I'm afraid——"
The deposed prince gritted his teeth, turned his sleeves and walked forward with a gloomy face.
Pan Hai nodded slightly to Yu Jin and quickly followed.
Yu Jin smiled and asked the eunuch beside him as he walked: "Sir, do you know why the prince was deposed?"
The eunuch hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Prince Jing ordered the Jinwu Guards to assassinate Prince An on Cuiluo Mountain..."
Yu Jin's first reaction was disbelief.
If a fool like the Crown Prince had thought of using assassination to quickly and efficiently eliminate his opponent, he wouldn't be so stupid as to lose his position as Crown Prince.
There must be something behind this.
Of course, Yu Jian didn't care whether there was any truth behind it or not. To him, nothing was more important than returning home to reunite with his wife.
Walking out of the gate of the clan residence, the biting cold wind wrapped in moisture blew on his body, and Yu Jin felt refreshed, as if all the bad luck of the past few days had been swept away.
Not long after Yu Jian left, the clerk, who had hidden himself in a deserted place, slapped himself twice.
What you say must be kept, otherwise it will be a disaster.
Damn it, I will never talk nonsense about Prince Yan again.
In the morning, the Prince of Yan's Mansion was bathed in the winter sun, and the red walls turned a gentle orange-red. The snow on the eaves gradually melted away, leaving only the snow on the branches trembling in the wind, like willow catkins flying in the spring.
The aroma of steamed meat wafts from the kitchen.
"Master, the prince is back, the prince is back!" Ah Man rushed into the house and reported the good news to Jiang Si.
Jiang Si was talking to Dou Shuwan, and his eyes lit up when he heard this.
Before I even walked out of the courtyard, a tall young man hurried towards me.
After not seeing him for a few days, his clothes were a little wrinkled, and his hair was not as neatly combed as at home, but his eyes were as bright as before, and when he saw Jiang Si, they burst into amazing brilliance.
"Asi, I'm back." Yu Jin strode over and grabbed Jiang Si with his strong arms.
Dou Shuwan, who was standing by, blushed slightly.
For her, such intimacy between husband and wife was a little embarrassing.
Jiang Si was thick-skinned. She resisted the urge to stand on tiptoe and kiss her man on the face. She smiled and said, "Let's talk inside."
"Okay." Yu Jin hugged her and walked inside.
Dou Shuwan did not move, and Chong Yujin knelt slightly: "It's good that you are back, my lord. The princess has been thinking about you these days. I have something else to do in my room, so I will go back first. I will come back to pay my respects to you, my lord and princess."
Only then did Yu Jin notice the existence of Dou Shuwan.
Cough cough, I accidentally mistook her for a maid again.
Yu Jian was quite friendly to the knowledgeable and interesting Dou Shuwan, and nodded slightly, saying, "I'm sorry to bother you to accompany the princess these days."
Dou Shuwan bowed slightly and left quickly.
It is not a lady's thing to disturb the reunion of a young couple.
As soon as he entered the room, Yu Jin immediately picked up Jiang Si and gave her a big kiss on the cheek.
"Asi, did you miss me?"
Jiang Si hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and said, "Be careful not to hurt the child. Let me down quickly."
At this moment, there was a sudden and hurried knock on the door.
