Xiao Yue spoke, intending to point out Empress Xiao.
Empress Xiao's face was still gloomy. After hearing her father's words, she immediately said to Chu Yan, "Yan'er, last time you went to Weiyang Palace in the middle of the night and made a scene, your mother thought about it and investigated thoroughly. She thought about everything that happened in the 98th year of Fengping and checked with her confidants. There was no such thing as drugging Feng Ling as you said.
"It's true that because of your father's partiality, the Queen Mother dislikes Consort Feng and Feng Ling, but the Queen Mother is also a person who dares to take responsibility for her actions. If it was her fault, the Queen Mother will admit it. If it wasn't her fault, she won't tolerate you yelling at her and wrongly accusing her!"
Empress Xiao was still holding a grudge in her heart, so she spoke directly and directly.
She hasn't slept well these days.
She also knew about the news that something went wrong at Qingyue and Fengling's wedding. Her son had told her before that he wanted that position and wanted to snatch Qin Wan away. She was secretly planning to arrange people to sabotage the wedding, but her son, who had been in a cold war for so many days, sent someone to deliver a message, forbidding her to do anything.
Look at her good son, she lets him say everything.
Who would have thought that something would happen...
Feng Ling and Qin Wan got into trouble at the same time.
To be honest, she was secretly happy when she heard the news. This matter caused a lot of uproar, but when she found out that the murderers were Gui Lao and Qing Yunyao, she was no longer happy. These two people were the people her son hated the most. Qing Yunyao, who was imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, was rescued and Qin Wan was injured. Who knows how angry her son would be.
Although he was angry, he finally compromised and went to Prince You's mansion to stop them.
Chu Yan pursed his lips and said nothing. The incident in the teahouse four years ago was his biggest wound. He wanted to kill someone whenever he mentioned it.
Especially this time when it was brought up again, Yue'er was so hurt that she even lost the faith to live.
Seeing Chu Yan still had such a cold attitude towards her, Empress Xiao almost lost her temper. Fortunately, Xiao Yue spoke at this time and said, "Yan'er, grandpa came here today to talk to you about this matter. Your mother has already told grandpa the details, and grandpa has a general understanding of it.
But in the 98th year of Fengping, on the 6th month of the 11th month, our Xiao family had no conflict with Prince Yu, nor did we attack him. As for the love poison, it is completely false."
Xiao Yue shook his head and said with a serious face.
Chu Yan raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Yue, "Grandpa, what do you mean by this?"
At this time, Xiao Yue only sighed, and then spoke in a serious tone, "Yan'er, our Xiao family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and has sent four queens abroad. When it came to your mother, it was Emperor Xiao who personally issued an order to grant the marriage, but your mother was not favored by your father.
The Emperor favors Concubine Feng and loves the son she gave birth to. Your mother feels sad and has a hard time. She targets her only for the Xiao family and for you. That's why she has targeted Concubine Feng and Chu Yan several times over the years, and the Xiao family has also attacked them behind the scenes. Grandpa neither denies nor hides this.
But your mother always consults with grandpa before anything she does. In June of the ninety-eighth year of Fengping, neither the Xiao family nor your mother took any action against Prince Yu Feng Ling..."
Xiao Yue's tone was solemn and serious.
Chu Yan's eyes also turned cold, and he looked at his grandfather seriously, but he could not see any trace of lying on his grandfather's face.
"Do you really mean what Grandpa said?"
Chu Yan asked.
"Of course it's true, Yan'er. Everything Grandpa and your mother have planned has always been about you first and the family second. There's no need to hide anything from you. I heard from your mother that you were very angry about this matter. Grandpa thought about it and was afraid there was some misunderstanding. But after a thorough investigation, it really has nothing to do with the Xiao family. I guess there are others who dislike Feng Ling."
Xiao Yue said.
At this time, Chu Yan's breathing became a little rapid, and his eyes became colder and colder.
Ever since he learned that the person who hurt Yue'er four years ago was Feng Ling, he had been hiding hatred in his heart. He hated him and also hated the culprit who poisoned him with love. These people were the source of Yue'er's tragedy. Feng Ling's first suspicion was his mother and the Xiao family, and he also thought so. After all, in the capital of the Great Zhou, they were the only ones who dared to attack Feng Ling.
But today his mother and grandfather told him that it was not the case.
Feng Ling’s poisoning has nothing to do with him!
Then he is the most innocent person, missing Yue'er forever.
"Yan'er, what's going on?"
Seeing that Chu Yan's face was getting uglier, Xiao Yue couldn't help but ask.
"Grandpa, can you help me find out who poisoned Feng Ling that year?"
"how?"
Xiao Yue was puzzled.
What does the matter of Feng Ling have to do with their Xiao family?
Then Chu Yan said, "It's me. I have a blood feud with the person who poisoned me!"
Xiao Jue's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't ask anything. He just said, "Grandpa knows. He will have someone investigate. However, it's been a long time, and many traces have probably been erased. It won't be that easy to investigate."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Chu Yan nodded, indicating that he understood.
Xiao Yue stroked his beard, a habit he made when he was mulling over his words. After a long pause, he finally spoke, "Yan'er, something went wrong with Prince Yu's wedding. I heard the Qin family's daughter was placed in Nanjiao Temple. There have been quite a few memorials submitted in the past two days. What are your thoughts?"
Empress Xiao also raised her head.
She had not forgotten what her son had said before about marrying Qin Wan, and he had even said that in order to marry this woman, he would even fight for the throne.
Whenever she thought about this, she felt like she was dreaming, wondering if her son had been bewitched by someone.
Chu Yan knew that his mother and grandfather must have received the news for a long time. It was just that he had been at Nanjiao Temple for the past few days and had not returned. They could not find him, so they came to the door today. Furrowing his brows, Chu Yan said, "Yes."
Hearing Chu Yan's calm acceptance, Xiao Yue's brows twitched, and he reached out to touch his beard. "Your mother has told Grandpa a little bit, but Grandpa has always wanted to ask you in person. What do you think about the Qin family's daughter and the Qing family's adopted daughter?"
Chu Yan was silent for a moment, and then he said solemnly and firmly, "Grandpa, I want to marry her, and I will definitely marry her."
"She is Princess Yu."
Xiao Yue frowned, obviously disagreeing and not understanding.
"No, she will only be Princess You in the future."
Chu Yan said.
His eyes were serious and unquestionable.
Xiao Yue looked at his grandson who had been outstanding in every aspect since childhood. He knew that he was stubborn and rarely changed his mind. Thinking of what happened to him a few months ago, he finally sighed.
"Yan'er? Why?"
Xiao Jue asked in confusion.
Chu Yan pursed his lips and looked at the lonely autumn scenery outside the yard.
Why?
Because that person is Yue'er!
It was his youth, the salvation of his life, the goal he had strived for in his life, the aspiration of his heart, and his unrepentant love...
