The prince is hard to serve

A few days ago, there was a snowfall, and the entire palace was covered with white snow. The imperial garden, which was full of flowers in the past, was all withered and decayed because of this snow. The beautiful plum blossoms bloomed beautifully, proud of the snow and cold plum blossoms, standing in the white snow, it was so beautiful that it adorned the entire silver-white palace compound with a touch of color.

Stopping in his tracks, Yan Wenhao raised his head and looked at the plum trees in the garden, his eyes flashed a gloomy look. He knew that these plum trees were specially ordered by his father to please his mother. Wanmei Villa was transplanted and planted in the Imperial Garden.

Now nearly 20 years have passed in a flash, the people and things of that year have long been changed, and they will never be found again. Only these trees are still in place, and they will never change regardless of the vicissitudes of life.

Withdrawing his gaze, Yan Wenhao had a look of worry on his face, and started to walk towards the Qianxing Palace again. His pace was neither fast nor slow, but the journey was so long, and he arrived in a short while.

Walking outside the Qianxing Palace, Yan Wenhao noticed that the guards guarding both sides of the palace gate had new faces, but the original ones had disappeared, and it was unknown where they had been transferred.

After signaling to the little eunuch who was guarding outside to report, Yan Wenhao lowered his head and waited quietly, but after he lowered his head, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he also sneered in his heart.

Oh, they are really impatient!

When Yan Wenhao and Mu Ziling returned to the capital yesterday, Concubine Degui had already received the news, and she also expected that Yan Wenhao would definitely enter the palace to visit Emperor Yan, so she had already made preparations, so she heard the little eunuch come in to report at this time, There was no obstruction at all, nodded and said: "Go and invite Your Highness to come in."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at Emperor Yan, who was lying on the dragon bed, sleeping soundly. Seeing his haggard face, she slightly suppressed the smile on her lips, showing a bit of bitterness and intolerance on her face. , but only appeared for a moment, and was never found again. She smiled again, raised her hand to caress her temples, then stood up and walked out slowly.

Outside, with permission, as soon as Yan Wenhao stepped into the Qianxing Palace, when he looked up, he saw Concubine Degui coming out from the beaded curtain.

Concubine Degui wore a light-colored uniform today, with only a little powder on her face. Compared with the past, it was much cleaner and more elegant, but her beauty remained undiminished. When she saw Yan Wenhao, she turned towards Yan Wenhao. He smiled and said softly: "Your Majesty is feeling unwell. He just took the medicine and just fell asleep. When the Second Prince enters, please take your steps lightly so as not to wake up His Majesty."

Yan Wenhao glanced at Concubine Degui, recalling Luyi's words last night, the hatred that had been suppressed in his heart surged again, his fingers hidden in his sleeves were clenched tightly, almost bloodless, but on the surface , but still did not show the slightest.

"I know."

Yan Wenhao nodded indifferently, and responded briefly, then passed her without saying a word, then slowed down, opened the bead curtain and walked into the room.

After turning around the screen, Yan Wenhao smelled a smell of medicine coming towards him. Seeing him, several young eunuchs who were waiting inside quickly stopped their movements and bowed in salute.

"Go down." With a wave of his hand, Yan Wenhao signaled them all to retreat. Seeing this, several young eunuchs looked at each other, and then looked at Concubine Degui who followed behind, seeing that she nodded in agreement. , then bowed his head, and retreated lightly.

With his back to Concubine Degui, Yan Wenhao stood in front of the bed, quietly looking at Emperor Yan lying on the bed, seeing Emperor Yan's eyes move slightly, his eyes flashed, and then said softly: "Here It's fine for me to watch, Concubine Degui, you can go out together."

Hearing this, Concubine De Gui's face flashed a trace of coldness, and after a while, she smiled again, and she glanced at the sleeping Emperor Yan before saying softly: "Okay, my palace is in the side hall, please When His Highness is about to leave, send someone to call me."

Yan Wenhao let out an 'hmm'.

After the sound of Concubine Degui's footsteps disappeared, Yan Wenhao took a step forward. He walked to the dragon bed, squatted down, and whispered to Emperor Yan who was sleeping on the bed: "She left."

After hearing this, Emperor Yan's eyelids moved again, and after a while, he slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were clear and cold, not like a sleepy person.

Looking at Emperor Yan who opened his eyes, Yan Wenhao was still very calm, without the slightest surprise, he had vaguely guessed in his heart, but now that he saw him, it was indeed so.

Although Emperor Yan's face was a little pale and his spirit was a little weak, he was sober after all, not to the point of unconsciousness, and his condition was not so serious that he couldn't handle political affairs——

Obviously, he did it on purpose.

Propping his elbows, Emperor Yan sat up. When Yan Wenhao saw him, he picked up the big pillow beside him and put it behind his back so that he could sit more comfortably.

After sitting down, Emperor Yan turned his head to look at Yan Wenhao, and seeing that he wasn't surprised at all, he asked him, "Did you already guess it?"

Yan Wenhao's expression was very calm, and he didn't hide anything when he heard the question, and replied slowly: "I didn't realize it at first, but I just thought of it later." Where is the father!

Glancing at Yan Wenhao approvingly, Emperor Yan's voice was very light, and there seemed to be some emotion in his tone: "You really are the prince who most resembles me."

Hearing this, Yan Wenhao lowered his eyes, snorted softly, and smiled irrefutably.

Who said no.

Seeing Yan Wenhao's attitude, a hint of annoyance flashed across Emperor Yan's face. Just as he was about to explode, he suddenly remembered Yun Jing's blind eyes, and Yun Jing's questioning of him every word that day. , After all, it was like being discouraged again, and nothing could happen.

After calming down for a while, Emperor Yan returned to his cold and hard look, and asked, "How is the Shibuyuan matter going?"

After listening to the words, Yan Wenhao succinctly described everything that happened in Jiangnan, and finally said: "Master Jiang is still staying in Jiangnan to deal with the follow-up matters."

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Emperor Yan praised: "You did a good job."

After receiving this compliment, Yan Wenhao only responded lightly, without any joy on his face, and even his eyes didn't have any waves.

After that, the two had no more words, and each other fell silent.

Finding a chair to sit down, Yan Wenhao pondered for a while, then looked up at Emperor Yan, his eyes were calm, and he asked: "Why did the father do this?" He also wanted to confirm another guess of his own .

He didn't intend to hide it at all, but after hearing this, Emperor Yan's expression remained unchanged, he turned his head to look at Yan Wenhao, and said in a cold tone: "I want to use this to get rid of the Zhou family's lineage, their ambitions have grown to the point where they dare I have touched my country, and my good emperor has grown up too, and wants to replace me and rule the world!"

The reason why Shibuyuan was able to control the entire Jiangnan with one person was that besides the Xiongnu, there were also the Zhou family behind him, but what the Zhou family did was very secretive and did not surface.

The Zhou family is from the family of Concubine Degui's mother, and now Concubine Degui's father still holds a quarter of the military power in the hands of Concubine Degui's father.

Hearing this expected answer, Yan Wenhao was not surprised at all, he bowed his head in silence, playing with the white jade cup in his hand, without saying a word.

He knew a long time ago that with Emperor Yan's enthusiasm for power and his increasingly suspicious temperament, he would definitely not be able to tolerate the growing Zhou family, and sooner or later he would take action against the Zhou family.

It's just that in these years, because of the Yun family as a wake-up call, the Zhou family has been very sensible. They have been hiding it for so many years, and they act very low-key. If it wasn't for what happened in Shibuyuan this time, and Concubine Degui couldn't bear it anymore, she couldn't wait any longer, she should be able to live in peace for a while.

After finishing speaking, Emperor Yan raised his eyebrows when he saw that Yan Wenhao hadn't spoken, and said firmly, "You've already guessed this matter."

"Yes."

Lowering his head, Yan Wenhao smiled sarcastically. Although he really wanted to speak out all the words in his heart and question Emperor Yan again, he still held back when the words came to his lips.

Now is not the time, his fledglings are still fledgling, and he cannot easily challenge his father's bottom line.

He looked at Yan Wenhao with complicated eyes for a long time, and after a long while, Emperor Yan withdrew his gaze. He realized that he had underestimated himself, the emperor.

He is far stronger and smarter than he imagined.

After a while of silence, Yan Wenhao spoke first, and said, "Fourth brother, he is very worried about you. How long are you going to play this scene?"

"It's not yet time, and they still have concerns and dare not act." Emperor Yan's expression turned cold, and he turned to Yan Wenhao and said, "I need you to do something."

Looking up at him, Yan Wenhao's face gradually became ugly, and his expression was also filled with anger. He said coldly: "I will not allow you to touch grandpa!"

Yan Wenhao knew that when Emperor Yan said that Concubine Degui and Yan Wenyuan were concerned, he was referring to his grandfather Yunchen.

Emperor Yan's expression was a little tired, he raised his hand and pressed his forehead, frowned and said: "I don't want the Duoyun family to do anything, I just want Yunchen... and Yunjing to leave the capital for a while."

After a pause, a trace of silence flashed in Emperor Yan's eyes, but it disappeared quickly. He was quiet for a while, and then said a place name and a name, and then said: "This is a place I sent people to investigate. He is a doctor with superb medical skills, you can ask Yun Chen to take Yun Jing to have a look... Maybe he can cure his eye disease."

Looking at Emperor Yan coldly, Yan Wenhao pursed his lips and gradually calmed down. After a long silence, he finally nodded and agreed, "Okay, I will let Grandpa and Uncle leave for a while."

"Ah."

In response, Emperor Yan waved his hand and said: "If that's the case, you can go back." After a pause, he said again: "Also, you need to worry more about Mu Aiqing." After finishing speaking, he lay down again Go down and close your eyes.
