At this time, over at the palace.
Chen Yunxin asked the prince in a low voice: "Your Highness, is His Majesty not in the palace?"
The prince smiled but said nothing. Chen Yunxin did not ask any more questions and just said slowly, "Your Highness, this is a good opportunity."
"No," the prince shook his head, "especially at this time, the more we need to be stable."
Chen Yunxin was slightly stunned.
He felt that the prince had changed a lot since he came back from his tour. Sometimes, even he could not guess what the prince was thinking.
Chen Yunxin said: "The capital will not be peaceful."
The prince said, "I know."
He smiled and suddenly said, "Master Chen should have discovered that the people who are not in the palace are Prince Chun, Xu Qing, Huo Qijing, and Yue'er."
Chen Yunxin said, "Your Highness is saying that the emperor is surrounded by the prime minister's people, the people in the capital are all...that person's people, and the people in the palace are all your Highness's people." He paused and was slightly surprised: "Your Highness, could it be that the emperor..."
...
...
“No,” the prince shook his head. “Yuer, father can trust you completely, so he brought you with him… and at this moment, if the capital and the palace are a game of chess, then father is just a calm spectator. So, whoever is impatient will lose.”
Chen Yunxin said: "But if we don't do anything, we will lose!"
"No, I won't," the prince said, "If we don't move, we won't necessarily lose, but I won't move either. It's just that if we really fight, I will take a step back."
Chen Yunxin frowned.
The prince smiled and suddenly asked him, "Master Chen, do you think that the personalities of our father and Yue'er are actually very similar?"
Chen Yunxin really didn't understand what was said: "How is it similar? I feel that the Prime Minister's personality is not very similar to anyone else's."
The prince smiled and shook his head, "No, they are actually very similar. They both like to protect people... Especially Yue'er. She will protect anyone she likes. No matter how powerful you are, in her eyes, you are still someone who needs her protection."
He paused. “And there is another point. They all have a line in their hearts. Above that line, they can do whatever they want. But below that line… they will not give in at all and will be cold-blooded and ruthless.”
Chen Yunxin seemed to understand: "What does Your Highness mean?"
The prince nodded: "I can be weak, as long as I am not incompetent. My sword will not be used against my brothers."
Disputes and power struggles in the court are allowed, and Emperor Ming Yan even enjoys seeing them happen. But brothers must not kill each other, which should be the bottom line of Emperor Ming Yan.
He did not have much brotherly affection for the third, fourth, and fifth, but in his heart, Yan Shiyue, the ninth, and the tenth were his closest brothers and sisters.
Sometimes he felt that Yan Shiyue was a very interesting person. Only those she recognized were her family members, and those she didn't recognize, no matter who they were relatives, were nothing to her.
It’s a pity that he is the crown prince, he must be friendly and respectful to his brothers, he must be kind and loving, he cannot be so willful.
I can only envy.
Only after this trip did I truly understand how great an impact Yan Shiyue had on the world in just a few short years.
In the northwest region, many people even worship the statue of Goddess of Fortune in their homes.
There is an old saying that goes, whoever gets Sleeping Dragon gets the world. To be honest, whoever gets Fu Yan gets the world.
Emperor Ming Yan has Yan Shiyue by his side, so he is becoming more and more calm in doing things.
And he is Yan Shiyue's brother. In this life, as long as he does not have a conflict with Emperor Ming Yan, he will always be her brother.
Emperor Ming Yan is her bottom line.
And isn’t Emperor Ming Yan his father?
Even though he could never be as free and easy as Yan Shiyue when they were together, and he would inevitably have to use some thoughts and means, but he was still his biological father, a powerful and wise king, and he was willing to be loyal and filial to him.
So, what's the hurry for him?
As long as he is calm, Emperor Ming Yan and Yan Shiyue will give him what he wants. Moreover, for many things, he will get them without even having to sit in that position.
…………
River town.
When Yan Shiyue heard the voice, he turned around suddenly and saw a very broad and strong figure.
Emperor Mingyan coughed lightly, and Yan Shiyue came back to his senses, then pointed over there and said, "There's a stall selling fruit cakes over there, I'll go buy some."
I actually went back and bought a pack. When I walked past, I glanced inside casually and saw a man with a stubble but sharp edges in profile.
He was a very handsome middle-aged man. Yan Shiyue made a gesture, signaling the shadow guards in the dark to pay attention to this man.
Only after he walked away did Emperor Ming Yan ask, "What happened?"
Yan Shiyue said: "It has nothing to do with that matter, it's something else."
Emperor Ming Yan nodded, and Yan Shiyue whispered in his ear: "When I was thrown away, there was a man's voice, saying something, he said: 'I am also following orders, you wish yourself good luck!'"
Emperor Ming Yan frowned.
Yan Shiyue almost forgot about it: "However, my mother said that this matter should be caused by Yan Chengze... It should be a coincidence, right?"
The emperor never believed in coincidences.
Emperor Ming Yan immediately asked his shadow guards to check if there were any properties belonging to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion here.
After a thorough investigation, it was found that there was no property belonging to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, but there was property under the name of Yan Chengyuan, which was 200 acres of fertile land, purchased more than ten years ago.
But it's just a field. Although there is a farm to take care of it, it's not big and can't hide anything.
Although most of the wealthy and powerful people buy properties near the capital or in their ancestral hometowns, it is possible for them to buy properties anywhere. Besides, this place is close to the capital and has industries, so it is not surprising.
Emperor Ming Yan was even worried that there was something underground like last time, so he sent people to take a closer look at the field, and it turned out to be just a field.
Yan Shiyue asked: "Does Yuefang have any property here? Or does my property have any?"
The shadow guard was stunned: "No, the cement factory is not close, it is across the town, but there are several glass franchisees in the business department."
The franchisee has only been here for a few days, so you don’t need to worry about him for now.
Yan Shiyue thought for a moment and said, "Father, didn't you ask the shadow guards to investigate my affairs? Did you find any strange people?"
Emperor Mingyan had a very good memory. After thinking for a while, he said, "There really is one."
I once found a person named Zhou Yu.
It was said that it was the third wife of the Yan family, Sun, the mother of Yan Ronghua, who was the head of the dowry business. It was said that Sun accidentally saved him when she was burning incense, and he stayed there to work for Sun to repay her kindness.
Because Sun was a widow who valued her reputation and seldom went out, even if there was something, it was the village head who went to see her. Many people in Prince An's Mansion had seen him. It was said that he was a young man who looked to be about 20 years old. He was quite handsome, but he had a scar on his right cheek. He also knew kung fu, so many people still remembered him.
Later it was discovered that he left the manor during that period, which coincided with the time when Yan Shiyue had the accident, and he has been missing since then.
All in all, this person had only stayed at the Sun family's farm for about two years. He came suddenly and left suddenly, so he was noticed by the shadow guard.
But because there were not many clues, we later focused on investigating Wang and did not conduct a thorough investigation.
Yan Shiyue said: "It seems that this time it is really a coincidence. This person has nothing to do with Ku Yin's affairs. However, the third room also intervened in my affairs. It was unexpected. My mother will be sad if she knows. She has always told me that Sun is her best friend!"
