Chapter 502 Is That So?
Suburbs of Beijing.
Ever since Jiang Yingcheng was kidnapped by that group of masters, the atmosphere in the palace has become increasingly weird.
Jiang Yian issued several secret orders in succession, sending out all the assassins in the mansion, but no one went to look for the young man.
No one knew what information this group of people were sent to investigate. All they knew was that when they returned home one after another, their prince locked himself in his room and did not go out for several days.
Cui Yue's eyes were dark. Standing in front of their prince's door, he sighed deeply and began his daily "business".
"Your Highness, you can't eat so little today, Your Highness."
"Doctor Pei said that your stomach has been damaged due to overwork in the past two years. You really can't neglect your body like this anymore..."
He knew that with his status, he shouldn't talk to the powerful prince like this, and he was being too nagging, but...
Even though he had been trying to persuade her earnestly for a long time, not a single sound came out from inside. It even looked a bit like a haunted house inhabited by wronged spirits from a picture book.
"My Lord, it's a nice day outside, why don't you come out——"
"Tsk——"
Suddenly, a slight sound was heard from behind him, and Cui Yue's scalp tightened for no reason.
He didn't know where this sense of crisis came from, but he still turned around quickly and alertly: "Who?!"
This turn around really made him freeze on the spot!
What happened?!
A living person suddenly broke into the palace, and had already entered the courtyard where the prince was, but no one came out to stop him? !
He suddenly raised his voice: "Someone come! Someone come quickly!!"
"ah……"
Zhong Chengwang shook his head a little awkwardly: "Don't shout, no one will come..."
Cui Yue's eyes widened, his voice caught in his throat, like a chaste woman who had met a lecher, he said angrily: "What do you think this place is?! You think you--"
"Cui Yue."
Suddenly a low voice came from the room.
After a series of slow footsteps, the wooden door behind him, which had been closed for a long time and which he had failed to open despite his constant persuasion, slowly opened with a crisp "creak".
"Prince?!" Cui Yue turned around suddenly.
Zhong Chengwang also bowed and saluted: "Hello, Your Majesty."
Jiang Yian hummed softly, his eyes passed Cui Yue in front of the door and fell directly on Zhong Chengwang: "Come in."
Cui Yue gritted his teeth and looked at Zhong Chengwang for a long while, then turned around and quickly followed him in.
He was so panicked just now that he didn't pay attention. Now that he was sure there was no danger, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen this person somewhere.
Not sure, he'd have to wait and see.
Three people walked into the room.
Jiang Yian hadn't opened the window for ventilation for a long time, and the room was stuffy. Cui Yue observed the expressions of the two people, thought about it, and still did not open the window.
Ever since he witnessed the martial arts master's superb skills, he has been extremely cautious all day long. Before dealing with any serious matters, he always checks his surroundings several times.
Just as Cui Yue was happily praising him for his thoughtfulness in his heart, he heard the strange man say -
"Your Highness, the three-day deadline has passed. Your Highness asked me to confirm whether you are still determined to rebel with Prince Xin."
"puff--"
“Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough—”
Cui Yue couldn't catch his breath and started coughing violently.
What?!
What did this person just say? !
He said the shocking word "treason" so nonchalantly?!
He subconsciously wanted to call out the secret guards who were guarding everywhere and get rid of this uninvited guest on the spot!
Just at this moment, Jiang Yian, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
His weak voice was like a sigh: "What did the King of Nanyang say?"
"Prince Nanyang said that his two children are in the capital."
The two men had not returned to their territory for such a long time, but he never gave them a stern order to go back.
He believed that Emperor Mingze would not deal with his two children so easily, and he was also convinced that he would not do anything in the future that would cause Emperor Mingze to use the two children as bargaining chips.
The message ended abruptly here, but this short sentence contained the King of Nanyang's deep and firm considerations on being a father and a minister.
Emperor Myeong-taek was the great emperor of the Seo-hyeon-myeong dynasty, and Prince Nanyang was the most loyal supporter of Emperor Myeong-taek.
Jiang Yian leaned back slightly, relaxed his guard in front of outsiders for the first time, and leaned back in his chair lazily.
"Both children are in Beijing..."
Prince Nanyang was saying that he was sure that Emperor Mingze would be able to overcome this difficulty.
Is that so?
…
“Father, Father! Is that so?!”
In the carriage departing from Jiayu City and heading for the capital of Dayue, Jiang Yingcheng held a piece of sage folded into rabbit ears in her hand and happily handed it to her handsome father.
When she didn't get an answer for a moment, she pouted unhappily.
"Father, Father, why are you ignoring Cheng Cheng?"
Jiang Yanchuan stretched out his hand and rubbed the boy's head randomly, ruffling the small tuft that he had combed with great difficulty. Several wisps of hair stuck out from the tuft.
He reached out and took the two "rabbit ears" of different sizes, and inserted them into the little boy's bun: "Looks good."
The pouting lips were immediately flattened, Jiang Yingcheng pursed his lips, and grinned.
"Really?"
Jiang Yanchuan nodded and looked at Guan Zhili in the corner: "If you don't believe me, ask your brother Zhili."
Before setting off from Jiarui City, the arrangement of the closing ceremony became the biggest challenge of this trip.
On the surface, he was an unfavored prince in the Beiming Palace. If he was left in the army, waiting to return to the capital with the soldiers, I am afraid that the life he would face would not be much better than his original situation.
As for the part that knew his true identity from the little guy's inner voice, they would not give him any preferential treatment just because of the four words "Son of Prince Xin". On the contrary, it is very likely to have the opposite effect.
But if he brought him with him, then his original plan of traveling light and as fast as possible would be greatly compromised.
What finally made the matter come to a conclusion was the young man's voice:
[Hehehehehe, Uncle Xin Wang's men just caught a suspicious woman, who claimed to have important matters to discuss with the prince. Uncle Xin Wang's men were very smart and thought that the timing of this woman's appearance was too coincidental, so they arrested her and prepared to torture her to extract a confession! ]
[But that is Brother Zhili’s biological mother. Uncle Prince Xin will soon find out that he actually has a child! ]
At that time, Guan Zhili was catching butterflies for the boy in the yard. Jiang Yanchuan's burning eyes fell on the constantly moving figure and he finally made a decision.
It doesn’t matter whether Jiang Silin knows about this or not, but he has things to do.
While he was thinking, the carriage suddenly stopped and someone beside the carriage whispered, "Master, there is something going on ahead."
