The eldest princess didn't show up all afternoon, and didn't return in a hurry until after the dinner.His face was restless and absent-minded, and his attitude towards Liu She was somewhat lukewarm.Han Yan knew it well, but she didn't show it on her face.The more and more witty remarks made Gillian and others laugh again and again.Only Liu Zhi seemed to have noticed something thoughtfully.However, Gu Nian was crowded with people, so he didn't ask.

After dinner, Han Yan proposed to go back to Gonggaohou's mansion to accompany grandpa, after all, there is not much time to go out of the palace.The eldest princess made a gesture to stay for a while, watching Han Yan persist.He stopped persuading, got up and sent them outside the mansion, and sent people to follow the carriage to protect the safety of Liu Zhi and others, and stood firmly at the gate of Tangyi Hou's mansion until the carriage turned and could no longer be seen.Then he let out a long sigh and dragged Gillian into the mansion.

Inside the carriage, Liu Zhi listened to the crowds on both sides of the street, and stared at the implication with a calm expression.Zhou Mingjin, who was sitting on the side, looked at the two of them inexplicably, then turned his head to look out the car window.

"Ayan, today you..." After hesitating for a while, Liu Zhi finally spoke.

"Does Your Highness still want to go to Tian Lang's mansion?" Han Yan asked with a smile.

"Uncle?" Hearing the words, Liu Zhi raised his eyebrows, looked at Han Yan's mysterious appearance, gritted his teeth and said, "Go, why don't you go."

Han Yan looked at Liu Zhi's angry look, and smiled.He said to the groom who was driving outside: "Go to Tianfu Tianlang's mansion."

"promise!"

The carriage left Suzaku Street and turned left, and arrived at Tian Fu's mansion in a short while.At this time, Tian Fu had just made a fortune, and the mansion was not as magnificent as it was after being a marquis.It just looks richer.However, in terms of the status of the royal family, it is a bit shabby and cheap.

The groom went to the door to negotiate with the concierge, and came back after a while to report that Tian Fu had been called into the palace by Wang Meiren in the afternoon, and he hadn't come back yet.Han Yan thought about it, and the time when Tian Fu entered the palace basically coincided with the time when the eldest princess disappeared.It is estimated that she should be caught by Wang Meiren at this time and asked for a strategy.Thinking about coming, Wang Meiren should also be mentally prepared!

Han Yan put down the curtain of the car with a relaxed expression, and signaled the groom to drive the car back to Gonggaohou's mansion.Looking back at Liu Zhi's burning gaze, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, revealing an extremely dazzling smile.

Liu Zhi's eyes flickered, and he finally forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and waited until he returned to Han Yan's small courtyard in Gonggao Hou's mansion before he burst out——

"What's going on with you today?"

"It's nothing! It's just that the servants accidentally discovered the traces of Li Ji's confidants." Han Yan poured two bowls of sour plum soup on the table nonchalantly, handed one bowl to Liu Zhi, and enjoyed the other bowl by herself.

"It's that simple?" Liu She asked suspiciously.He faintly felt that Han Yan had something to hide from him.

For Liu Zhi's question, Han Yan just smiled and said nothing.It took a long time before he asked, "Your Highness thinks I will harm His Highness?"

"Of course not." Liu Zhi denied it flatly, looking at Han Yan with more and more annoyance between his brows.

"Since this is the case, why should Your Highness bother about some trivial matters?" Han Yan smiled slightly and said softly: "I just think it's strange that Li Ji sent her confidant out, and I also think that at this time we are There is no way to contact Wang Niangniang outside the palace. If you tell the eldest princess or Tian Langguan about this matter, let them find a way to inform the empress, so you can make preparations."

"That's all?" Liu She immediately asked, "Then why don't we go back to the palace and tell mother?"

"Your Highness, I only have three days off for half a year in the palace!" Han Yan said with a wry smile, "You wouldn't be so cruel! What's more, I just saw people around Li Ji leave Chang'an City, even he I don’t know what to do. If we rushed back to the palace and talked to the empress, but failed to catch Li Ji’s shortcomings, will His Majesty think that we are making a fuss out of a molehill and blame the empress?”

Hearing this, Liu Zhi nodded suspiciously.However, he still felt that something was wrong, but seeing Han Yan's indifferent and innocent look, he moved his lips, and finally held back from asking.

Forget it, Ah Yan won't harm me anyway.In the end, Liu Zhi thought helplessly.

Seeing Liu Zhi's expression, Han Yan knew that he no longer pursued the matter.Immediately, he was in a good mood and poured a bowl of sour plum soup for Liu Zhi, and said in his mouth: "The weather is really hot, Your Highness, try it more, it can relieve the heat."

……

On the morning of the third day, everyone returned to the palace.

When leaving Gonggaohou's mansion, Han Yan looked at the mansion that was getting farther and farther away, and her heart was like a mirror. The life in the palace this time will definitely not be as happy as before.Whether it is Li Ji, Wang Meiren or the eldest princess, they have all shown their fangs to the enemy, and the relationship has reached the point of endless death.And all I have to do is to honestly watch from the sidelines, watch the three forces gradually surface, see clearly the details of everyone in the palace, and then...

He had already spilled a drop of clear water into the seemingly calm oil pan, and it had nothing to do with him as to how much reaction it would provoke afterwards.

When she returned to the Qilan Palace, Wang Meiren was still gentle and relaxed, calm and breezy.Seeing Liu Zhi, he first hugged him and looked at it again, and asked Han Yan and Zhou Mingjin some trivial matters after returning home to show his concern, and then sent everyone back to the yard to rest.He didn't even forget to assign the maid to cook hot soup for bathing.One should act the same as usual.Even Han Yan had to admire Wang Meiren's skill in nourishing Qi.

And the next move of Emperor Jing also indirectly foreshadowed Han Yan's guess.

Emperor Jing began to seal the princes wantonly.

The first to be conferred the title of marquis was Lieutenant Wei Wan.This Wei Wan, who was related to the Li family, had just been promoted to lieutenant and not long after, he was conferred the title of Marquis of Jianling.Cheng Jia, the prime minister of Jiangdu, who was later named Jianpinghou, and the prefect of Longxi, Su Jia, the prime minister of Zhao, and other ministers who had a good relationship with Li Ji were also named marquises.Rumors spread quickly in the palace, and everyone thought that Emperor Jing was building a team for Prince Liu Rong.If Han Yan hadn't been well aware of the development trend of history, she would almost think so.

And Prince Liu Rong, contrary to his usual style of diligence, restraint, modesty and prudence, began to entertain guests wantonly.Li Ji, who was already flamboyant, became more and more arrogant.For a while, all kinds of noises in the harem were silent, and people from all walks of life and expensive gifts were sent to the palace where Li Ji was in an endless stream. Even Empress Dowager Dou had to avoid her edge.On the contrary, the situation of Wang Meiren, who had always been at odds with Li Ji, went from bad to worse.If it weren't for King Jiaodong's engagement to A-Jiao, with the help of the eldest princess, it would have been even worse.

As for Zhao Dewei's going to Changling, there has been no big news so far.Han Yan estimated that Wang Meiren had already settled down.However, Han Yan didn't care about this matter. Anyway, he was familiar with history and knew that this issue did not bring down Beauty Wang.The most urgent task is to find out what went wrong with Liu Zhi.He was obviously fine when he returned to the palace, why did he go out of the palace with Wang Meiren and come back with a cold face and didn't like to talk.When he was alone, there was still a ruthless aura emanating from his body.Not as cute as before.

Heaving a long sigh, Han Yan looked at Liu Zhi, who had a lively face facing Wang Meiren and the eldest princess in the Qilan Palace, and was half lying on the desk after returning to his room, staring at him with dull eyes. ahead.He couldn't help covering his face with a headache.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Has anyone upset you?" Han Yan asked.

"It's okay." Liu Zhi replied sullenly.Looking back at Han Yan blankly, he remained silent for a while.

It's no wonder you look like this!Han Yan rolled her eyes helplessly, and continued to ask patiently: "Your Highness, if you have any troubles, you can tell me! If you don't tell me, how do I know you are troubled? If you want me to help you, just talk Well, although you are looking at me sincerely, you still have to tell me what is bothering you, so that I will know! Do you really want to say it? Then tell me quickly! You Don’t you really want to say it? Do you really want to say it? If you want to say it, just say it! Otherwise, if you don’t tell me, how can I give you an idea? If I don’t help you with an idea, you are just as worried, you are so When I'm worried, I'm also worried..."

Han Yan talked more and more joyfully, and finally ignored Liu Zhi's increasingly black and blue face, her eyebrows were beaming, and her mouth was frothing.

"——Ah Yan!" Liu She looked at Han Yan who was full of expression but couldn't hide the concern deep in his eyes, his heart warmed up, he buried his head in the crook of his arm, and spoke slowly.

"Your Highness?" Han Yan's heart moved, and she immediately fell silent.

"Ayan..." Liu She suddenly looked up at him, with an indescribably determined expression on his face.Staring at Han Yan, she said word by word as if swearing: "I, one, must, want, do, too, son!"

Han Yan took a deep breath, subconsciously leaned forward to cover Liu Zhi's mouth, and looked out the empty window.After listening intently for a while, after confirming that there was no one outside, he slowly lowered his hands, rolled his eyes and said, "Your Highness, be careful! The palace is not a place where you can talk casually!"

"It's okay to be by Han Yan's side." Liu Zhi said calmly.Reminiscing the soft touch of Han Yan's palm covering her lips just now, a warm color flashed in her eyes.

Don't trust me so much, it's a lot of pressure!Han Yan rolled her eyes and slandered in her heart, and the complacency of being completely trusted by the future Emperor Wu of Han couldn't restrain her heart, until the corners of her lips curled up.

Seeing Han Yan's increasingly joyful expression, Liu Zhi's condensed expression slowly eased.After a long while, he said softly: "That day, my mother led me to find the imperial aunt, and said that there was a big crisis and asked her to help. But the imperial aunt refused at all. Later, my mother asked me to kneel down in the main hall of Tangyihou's mansion. After a long time, the imperial aunt agreed to come down."

"And a few days ago, Li Ji actually said in front of the crown prince and Liu De that my father didn't value me at all, and that he named me Pig because I was as stupid as a pig..." Liu De is also Li Ji's son , is Liu Rong's brother.Now that Liu Rong has been established as the prince, Liu De will naturally rise with the tide.Liu Zhi, who is very eye-catching in all kinds of homework on weekdays, is the most despised.Li Ji herself was narrow-minded and despised Wang Meiren, so she took this opportunity to insult Liu Zhi's mother and son.The angry Wang Meiren went back to the Qilan Palace and cried all day.

Han Yan listened with bated breath, and suddenly felt a little blocked in her heart when she looked at Liu Zhi who seemed to be doing nothing.Although Liu Zhi seemed to be jovial and approachable on weekdays, Han Yan knew how proud he was.Now, for the sake of his life, he knelt on his knees for half a day, and endured such humiliation...

A man has gold under his knees, and the most expensive thing is self-esteem.Han Yan didn't know how to comfort Liu Zhi, so she patted him on the shoulder and said softly: "I heard a pair a few days ago and thought it was good, let me read it to you!"

Seeing Liu Zhi's expressionless face but listening with his ears upright, Han Yan smiled lightly and said: "Where there is aspiration, things will come true. If the boat is broken, the Qin Pass will eventually belong to Chu. People who work hard, the sky will live up to it, and three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu."

"Trying to be brave, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu..." Liu Zhi repeated softly, his hands slowly clenched, and he firmly grasped the hem of the clothes on his body, even the joints turned white.

Han Yan sighed softly, reached out and covered Liu She's hand.
