Chapter 189 You've been waiting? You're not getting married?
After Yan Xingchuan said this, Cui Jing was stunned for a long time.
The death of the former crown prince has caused regrets to the people of the world, and countless old ministers are heartbroken.
It was no secret that his only child died shortly after birth.
Ordinary people may not know this, but Cui Jing, a young man from a noble family, also knows this.
Yan Xingchuan continued, "Before the child was born, the former crown prince was poisoned by the Nine-Layered Tower. Later, Baili Boqin, a disciple of Medicine King Valley, cured him of the poison. A few months after he recovered, the child died."
"You mean, Jiang... Jiang Cinian is that kid from back then?" Cui Jing came back to his senses. "That's impossible..."
Yan Xingchuan nodded and said, "This is absolutely true. If you don't believe it, send someone to check if there's a portrait of the late Crown Prince. They look about 70% similar to each other."
"Then why didn't you tell me that day?"
"Even if I told you, it would be difficult for you to convince the Cui family to break off the engagement. The only way to achieve this is to tell them his identity."
"My original intention was to tell Ah Si about this and then take her away. That way, even if I stole the bride, the Cui family wouldn't have to dwell on it anymore, and you wouldn't have to know about it either."
Cui Jing sneered at this and said, "Just because Ah Si doesn't trust you, you're forcibly taking her away?"
"Yes." Yan Xingchuan looked at Cui Jing, "I don't deny that I have selfish motives. I can't bear to see her marrying someone else."
"While my kidnapping of the bride might bring shame to the Cui family, it's better than letting Ah Si marry Jiang Cinian. If Ah Si and I get married, then everything will be a small matter for the Cui family."
"A small matter? What small matter are you talking about?" Cui Jingqi laughed. "You are forcing the Cui family to marry A'si to you. Even if the other members of the Cui family have no objection, have you asked us, have you asked A'si?"
Yan Xingchuan paused, then said, "I don't want her to marry me now. The future is very long, and I will always wait. If she is willing, I will definitely marry her."
"If she meets someone else during this time, and wants to get married after the storm has passed, as long as there's nothing wrong with that person, I won't stop her."
Cui Jing thought it was ridiculous: "You keep waiting? Aren't you going to get married?"
This is the King of Northern Yan, the only bloodline of the Yan family. If he doesn't get married, the future of Northern Yan will be gone, and the incense of the Yan family will also be cut off here?
What a joke.
"Yeah, it's not going to work."
This is probably how his life has been. He trapped himself here, unable to get out and not wanting to get out.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Maybe if I wait for her for most of my life, she will be willing to look back at me."
Cui Jing was silent for a long time, staring at Yan Xingchuan for a while: "Are you serious?"
"I can't be more serious." Yan Xingchuan laughed at himself again, feeling that he was really ridiculous.
When he had a home, he was obsessed with revenge and neglected many things, which made her feel wronged and angry. Now that he has lost his home, he only wants to go home.
People probably only understand regret and know what is most important after they lose something.
"Are you sick?" Cui Jingren was almost dumbfounded. If Cui Si didn't want to marry him, he would never get married. Who knows how much trouble would arise.
The Cui family does not need this kind of honor.
Moreover, even if Cui Si did not marry Jiang Cinian, she might meet a man she likes in the future. With him just watching her closely, who would dare to marry her?
ill!
Cui Jing took a deep breath and said, "I'm warning you, don't say such things again in the future. You'd better give up your intention of marrying A'si as soon as possible and stop harming her. There are thousands of beautiful girls in the world, not just A'si."
Yan Xingchuan raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "Do you think other girls can compare to her? How can a firefly compare to the moon? Even if there were thousands of fireflies, they wouldn't be even one ten-thousandth as bright as her. If you think so, I'll tell her when she wakes up."
"Yan Xingchuan!" Cui Jing's face darkened. "Stop talking nonsense and slandering me. I never said such a thing."
Yan Xingchuan said, "Since no one can compare to her, why should I look for someone else?"
It's simply stubborn and specious.
Cui Jing took a deep breath and said, "Forget it. I won't argue with you. Although you had selfish motives in kidnapping Ah Si, you also helped Ah Si and the Cui family. Logically, your merits and demerits offset each other. I won't argue with you about this. Return Ah Si to me and I will take her back."
Yan Xingchuan refused to give it to her: "You are taking her away. Are you going to take her back to Xianyang City or arrange for her to hide in Pingzhou City for a while?"
"This is none of your business."
"Why is it irrelevant? I care about her, and her safety is what I care about most." Yan Xingchuan retorted.
"If you take her back to Xianyang City, she'll have to endure countless rumors and gossip. If you want to place her in Pingzhou City, I've already told Jiang Cinian to leave immediately. Do you think Jiang Shao's men won't come looking for her if they can't find Jiang Cinian?"
"She is safest only by my side."
"Cui San, even if you hate me, you can't help but think about her safety."
Cui Jing almost exploded with anger. He pointed at Yan Xingchuan with shaking fingers and was unable to speak for a long time.
"You...you really don't care about your dignity anymore."
Yan Xingchuan did not deny that he was shameless. Anyway, he just seized the opportunity to keep her by his side until these things were resolved.
Thinking of this, he softened his tone and said, "Cui San, Ah Si's safety is the most important."
"Okay! Okay!" Cui Jing laughed in anger. "In that case, you'd better protect Ah Si. If anything happens to her, I want you to be buried with her."
"Don't worry, if anything happens to her here, you don't have to do anything."
"That's better."
After Cui Jing said this, he turned away angrily, not wanting to say another word to him.
Seeing Cui Jing was about to leave, Yan Xingchuan waved his hand and asked Yun Gang to see him off. Then he slowly exhaled, picked up the bowl beside him to drink water, but ended up drinking only a little medicine soup at the bottom of the bowl.
The bitterness spread in my mouth.
A guard quickly brought up a cup of tea.
Yan Xingchuan drank his tea and stood up to go back. Just as he was about to leave, he ran into Yun Gang who was returning.
"Cui San is gone?"
"Leave."
Yan Xingchuan nodded and strode forward. "I'm going back now. You guys arrange for people to take up duty, and then go and rest. You've all been tired these past few days."
"Where will the Lord rest?"
Yan Xingchuan paused, then he remembered that Cui Si had already moved into the courtyard where he originally lived. If he dared to continue living there, Cui Jing would really stab him with a knife.
Yan Xingchuan hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's arrange for her to stay in the next yard. I'll go see her first, and then go to rest next door. You can just arrange a room for her to live in."
