Improper stepping stone for men
Chapter 22
"Your Highness, Miss Rong is here."
Just after reading the memory of the original owner, the maid's report came from outside the house, and Yang Yan said indifferently: "Broadcast."
To be honest, he doesn't know the heroine very well. Since there is such a great opportunity to be reborn, why didn't he tell the prince what he knew in advance, so that he could take precautions early, so as to prevent the second prince from growing stronger and attacking the palace in the future?
After all, the crown prince is the real backing of the Rong family. As long as he does not fall, the Rong family will be almost invincible.
As a member of the Rong family and the prince's direct cousin, with such a great contribution, Rong Yinhua's status is as stable as Mount Tai.
As long as she didn't commit an unforgivable crime, Shao Yangyan's temperament would definitely protect her for a lifetime of glory and wealth.
But what Rong Yinhua chose was to kill the little palace maid, take her place by himself, capture the affection of the second prince, and then act as a spy for him to find out a lot of information from Shaoyang Yan.
In the end, relying on the trust of the prince, he was led into the trap and easily killed.
According to the script, the story ended abruptly after the second prince ascended the throne and held a grand wedding to marry Rong Yinhua. It seemed a happy ending, but Yang Yan always felt that everything would not end so simply. After all, the Rong family and the second prince Shaoyang There is a bloody feud between the two.
At the beginning of Emperor Zhengrui's ascension to the throne, the court asked for a crown prince. His original spouse died early, leaving no son and a half daughter. At that time, the only ones who gave birth to him were Concubine Rong and Concubine Xiao.
Although Shao Yangyan was one month older, Shao Yang Ji's mother and concubine Xiao Guifei was more favored by the emperor, so his chances were even greater, and the Xiao family in the court kept building up momentum for their mother and son.
Seeing that the matter was about to be a foregone conclusion, someone suddenly revealed that the Xiao family had colluded with the former deposed prince, and there were all witnesses and material evidence.
The most taboo of Emperor Zhengrui was to abolish the crown prince. In a fit of rage, he ransacked the Xiao family's home and exiled it. The former favorite Concubine Xiao was implicated and deprived of her imperial concubine title, and died of illness within two years.
Because of this, the second prince was despised by the emperor. He was bullied and treated indifferently in the palace since he was a child, and grew up like a weed.
It was the person in charge of the Rong family who reported the matter and found out the evidence at the time. Not long after that, the emperor made Shaoyang Yan the crown prince, and his mother and concubine also became the empress logically.
It can be said that the wealth and honor of the Rong family in the next ten years is completely on top of the bones of the Xiao family. Why does Rong Yinhua think that Shaoyang Ji will let the Rong family go after he comes to power?
Could it be based on Shaoyang Ji's true love for her?But how long can a man's true love last?
If he knew that these were all calculated by Rong Yinhua, would his friendship still exist?
Yang Yan was very curious.
"Brother Prince!" Rong Yinhua was quickly ushered in. She had a sweet smile on her face, and her words were extremely intimate. It was not at all obvious that she was secretly plotting to kill him.
She is now eighteen years old, but she is still unmarried, because the second prince has been hiding his strength for so many years, and everyone only regards him as a useless prince, and with the current status of the Rong family, it is impossible to allow themselves to be honored The prostitute married a trash.
So she didn't dare to reveal her true relationship with Shaoyang Ji, and told her family that she would marry only when she found someone she really liked. In fact, she had frequent contacts with him secretly, and only waited for him to marry her after he ascended the throne.
The Rong family didn't allow her to mess around like this, but she went to the original owner and complained. At that time, Shao Yangyan loved her like his own sister, so he came forward to talk to the owner of the Rong family, and promised to invite the princess for her , Only then did she fight for the freedom of marriage before the age of 20.
In this way, Rong Yinhua really made full use of the original owner.
"Why did you come here?" Yang Yan thought about what she had done, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Prince, you speak so coldly!" Rong Yinhua pouted dissatisfiedly, and said coquettishly, "Do you not want to see me?"
That's true!Such a beautiful snake, if it wasn't for the purpose of inquiring about the second emperor's next plan through her, how could he have the patience to pretend to be a snake with her?
Although the story was originally developed from the perspective of Rong Yinhua, but she has no abilities, so she is nothing to be afraid of. What Yang Yan really cares about is his second brother.
Since the age of four, Shaoyang Ji has been living in the cold palace with his mother and concubine. At the age of six, he lost his only support. He was bullied by eunuchs and maids in the palace for many years. It was not until the age of 12 that he had the mercy of the original owner. Study room opportunities.
Such a powerless and helpless prince has accumulated so much power in secret. Before the heroine was reborn, he broke into the palace with one blow, beheaded all his brothers and ascended to the throne. .
In any case, people dare not underestimate him. He even doubted whether Emperor Zhengrui's illness was also his fault. After all, he was in his prime, and he had no symptoms before. It is really strange that the serious illness that will die in the past few days .
Now it is only a month before the emperor is seriously ill. If we can find out clearly, we may be able to avoid such an ending.
Yang Yan was thinking in his heart, but there was a doting smile on his face like the original owner's usual: "Gu Fang was thinking about political affairs, it's just a matter of one sentence, you dare to accuse Gu An of a crime."
"Who told the prince to spoil me!" Rong Yinhua said proudly.
Yang Yan shook his head helplessly: "It's not like I'm alone."
"Yin'er is joking with you, please don't blame the prince." Rong Yinhua blessed Fushen pretending to be afraid, but there was no trace of fear in his eyes.
She expected that the person in front of her would not be serious with her, what is the most wise and wise prince in this dynasty?He's just a useless man. In his last life, brother Yang Ji took the throne, and in this life he's also in her hands, playing around with him.
Thinking of this, Rong Yinhua couldn't help showing a trace of contempt in her eyes. The emotion just flashed by, and she returned to her charming appearance in a blink of an eye. If Yang Yan hadn't been paying attention to her expression, she might have become like the original owner. Also ignore the past.
"Does Gu dare to blame you?" He laughed, "I don't want to see you turn around and run to the queen mother to complain, making Gu no peace."
"Brother Prince knows it's okay to be afraid!" Rong Yinhua said proudly instead of being ashamed, "Auntie loves me the most!"
It's a pity that your aunt, who loves you so much, was forced to commit suicide after Shaoyang Ji gained power, and I didn't see you pleading for her.
The coldness in Yang Yan's eyes flashed away, but he put on a look of "I'm really afraid of you" on his face: "Okay, Gu still has business to deal with, so why don't you come to see Gu? And which jewelry is not enough for silver taels? Or which Zhuangzi wants it?"
The heroine has done such things before. She was used to big hands when she was a princess in her previous life. She refused to marry him in this life, so her hands are naturally tight.
It's just that the first daughter of the Rong family doesn't have many monthly cases, and she couldn't stand her spending freely, so she put her mind on her "ex-husband". Maybe in her mind, spending his money is a matter of course?
As the prince, the original owner would never be short of money, but he never cared about her taking advantage of it. The prince concubine couldn't say anything when she saw her husband doting on this cousin. As long as they were not ambiguous, a little money would be considered to buy peace.
In this way, a lot of good things were poached by the heroine. Yang Yan did a rough calculation, and the accumulated amount could be equivalent to a county's tax revenue for several years. After disposing of her, she should get it back with interest.
"Neither of the two," Rong Yinhua didn't know that he was actually being ridiculed, so he pulled his sleeves and said coquettishly, "The weather will heat up in half a month, Brother Prince, when the time comes, you will bring me and Sister-in-law, nephew, and the others go to the palace together to escape the heat, okay?"
Yang Yan recalled the memory of the original owner, and found that there was no such thing in her life before her rebirth, but after her rebirth, she had proposed it like today.
I'm afraid that knowing that Emperor Zhengrui is going to die in a month, he will be transferred in advance to pave the way for his lover, but I don't know if she made it on her own, or was instructed by his good brother?
It's just that the original owner is a serious and responsible person. As the prince, he feels that he has a great responsibility, so he didn't agree to her proposal. On the contrary, he said that he should not be greedy for comfort.
He was talking about himself, but Rong Yinhua mistakenly thought he was blaming her, lost his temper a lot, and finally the two broke up.
After pondering for a while, Yang Yan said: "Prince Princess is about to give birth, it might be inconvenient to travel..."
A flash of jealousy flashed in Rong Yinhua's eyes. In her previous life, after she married this man, she was unable to conceive for some reason. Although the imperial physician said that her body was fine after treatment, she was still unable to conceive.
The emperor and empress were afraid that he would end up with no heir, so they quickly named him two good concubines and several good concubines. Fortunately, they didn't make any movement, so she didn't lose face as a princess.
After being reborn, she firmly believed that this useless man could not give birth, but the princess he married gave birth to a grandson the second year after entering the door, and now she is about to give birth to a second child.
Although others don't know, but she has a feeling of being compared, which really makes her very upset!
"Brother Prince has lost his mind," Rong Yinhua hurriedly said, "Pregnant women have a high body temperature, and they are most afraid of extreme heat. It is for the sake of your sister-in-law, you should also make plans."
Seeing that the man seems to be moving, she continued to persuade: "Yin'er knows a good place to escape the summer heat. It's not far from the capital, and it only takes half a day's journey. When the time comes, the convoy will drive slowly so that my sister-in-law won't be tired. .”
"This..." Yang Yan hesitated, "Nagu discuss it with the Crown Princess."
"Yin'er, go talk to your sister-in-law!" Rong Yinhua managed to persuade him, fearing that something might happen, he quickly took over the important task, turned around and walked out, "If the sister-in-law agrees, the prince brother can't keep silent Believe it!"
"You girl, you want to go out to play so much?" Yang Yan said angrily on purpose.
"Yin'er is also good for you, okay?" Rong Yinhua turned his head and stuck out his tongue at him, "Brother Prince doesn't know good people, hum!"
After finishing speaking, she disappeared outside the door in a flash.
For his good?hehe.Yang Yan sneered in his heart.
***
Now Emperor Zhengrui is in his prime, controlling the government with one hand. As the prince, Yang Yan actually doesn't have too many government affairs to deal with. Will get the emperor's personal guidance.
Today's political speech is over, and the rest of the time is arranged by himself. The original owner had a sudden inspiration and asked the maid to spread the paper and prepare to write poems and paintings, but he was disturbed because he changed his soul midway.
Yang Yan is not in that mood now either. After Rong Yinhua went to find the princess, he looked through the memorials of the courtiers and the reply from the emperor. You need to get familiar with it and find the feeling.
Soon the maid who was sent to wait on the hostess came to report, saying that Miss Biao had left the uterus. He asked the other party's expression at that time, and the maid only thought that he was concerned about Miss Rong, and she couldn't help but sigh with emotion for her good life. , truthfully said.
Yang Yan learned that she left with a smile, and knew that she probably convinced the princess as she wished, so he was not surprised. But very neat.
Under the influence of the original owner, the Crown Princess also took good care of this cousin, and under the banner of being good for them, it was not difficult to get her to agree under the pretense of mental calculation or carelessness.
Now that the princess is seven months pregnant, Yang Yan hesitates whether to tell her about the possible drastic changes in the future.
If he didn't say anything, he was afraid that his protection would not be strict enough, and he would accidentally lead her into someone else's way.
In other words, it is the time when she is prone to overthinking, and if she is shocked and affects her body, it will not be a good thing.
After thinking about it again and again, Yang Yan still couldn't make up his mind, so he simply decided to meet her, show off a little, and see her reaction before making a decision.
After making a decision, he put down what he was doing and went to the princess's bedroom, but unexpectedly bumped into him at the door who came to invite the eldest son of An Yuanzhu.
"The son has seen the father."
Xiaotuanzi Shao Chengyun was only three years old, Yuxue was cute, and he bowed his hands to say hello sternly, with a special sense of joy in that small appearance.
Unexpectedly, the parents in the last small world had always hoped that his wish to raise a child had not been fulfilled, but this world had just arrived and had a ready-made son.
Although Yang Yan had nephews and nieces, maybe he seemed too strict in his last life. When they were young, they all looked at him and ran away. They are closer to the lively and cheerful little uncle who can play with them, so there are not many experience with children.
In the original owner's memory, the eldest son was raised by the princess most of the time, so he only asked about his daily life and study every day, and nothing else.
The father and son met indifferently, one greeted him, and the other took a test on his studies. The three-year-old child already looked like an elementary school student, completely different from the monkeys of his little nephew and niece in his previous life.
Yang Yan was startled, and suddenly leaned over and picked him up. A child had never been treated like this before, and subconsciously grabbed his skirt, with a look of shock on his face.
"Come to say hello to mother?" Yang Yan asked knowingly after straightening the long hair on the side of his face.
"Yes, yes." Shao Chengyun babbled and replied, his expression was very tangled, "Father, father, this is against the rules."
"Where are there so many rules?" Yang Yan turned upside down and said, "Well, why are you so light? Didn't you eat well recently?"
"My son has to eat obediently!" Xiao Chengyun hurriedly argued.
In fact, the original owner had never hugged him before, how could Yang Yan know whether he was light or heavy?It was just to divert his attention.
No matter how mature Xiao Chengyun looked, he was only a three-year-old child. As expected, he immediately attracted him to care about his weight, desperately recalling what he had eaten in the past two days, and was carried into the palace by him without knowing it.
"His Royal Highness is here." Crown Princess Shi Xiayue was sitting by the window, threading needles, when she saw the father and son's eyes flashed with surprise.
The royal family pays attention to holding grandchildren and not having children. The prince used to be the most polite and never had any luck. What's the matter today?
Although she was a little puzzled, she wisely didn't ask aloud, but directly called someone to pick up the emperor's grandson, saying that she would not tire the prince.
"Luck is so heavy, how can you be so tired?" Yang Yan laughed, and didn't let go, but sat opposite her with the child in her arms, and said softly, "You are so heavy now, why do you still do these yourself? Don't be tired. arrive."
"Xie Dian □□tie," said Shi Xiayue, who was plump due to pregnancy, with two blushes on her face, and looked very good, "I want to sew a small dress for my unborn grandson, just one, tired not reach."
"Be careful yourself." Yang Yan said lightly, although he didn't see anything on his face, he was actually uncomfortable all over.
These are the wife and children of the original owner. After Shao Yangyan’s tragic death in his last life, he didn’t know what the result was waiting for them. They were not mentioned in the scriptures, but the queen was forced to commit suicide, and their end would not be the same. good.
The original owner's wish was to protect the queen mother, his wife and children, and let Rong Yinhua suffer the consequences. He will try his best to do it, but he is not the original owner after all, so he can't take over his wife, right?
It's so bald, he can't do it!
I don't know why, but he has no interest in human feelings at all. I don't know if the princess is willing to be his wife on the surface, but actually treat him as a partner?
Forget it, let's talk about it after Rong Yinhua and the second brother are dealt with, and after she gives birth to a child!
Thinking so, Yang Yan buried her head in teasing Xiao Chengyun.
Children are children, no matter how mature they look on the surface, their admiration for their parents cannot be suppressed.
Under his intentional guidance, Xiao Chengyun soon became lively, taking a mouthful of his father, and was reluctantly taken down by the wet nurse to wash up until the meal was finished.
"Your Highness is very different today." When there were only two people left in the room, Shi Xiayue looked at him with probing eyes.
"Today my cousin proposed to go to escape the summer heat together, and I realized that I usually ignored you too much." Yang Yan had already thought up his speech, and said calmly at this time.
Shi Xiayue was only curious for a while, but she didn't suspect that he was not the original owner because of such a small matter. Generally speaking, there was no big difference, and no one would think in that direction.
She heard the words and said hastily: "Your Highness is busy with government affairs, my concubine and Yun'er both understand."
"That's right! Yun'er is only three years old and knows that Gu is busy on weekdays, and her cousin is already eighteen, and she still pesters Gu to go out to play, and I don't know if the emperor will agree." Yang Yan said with deep meaning.
Shi Xiayue's heart skipped a beat, she didn't understand what he meant for a while, so she forced a smile and said, "Yinhua has a child's temper."
"It's not too young. If it were a girl of other people's age, she would have married and had children a long time ago. That's why she was allowed to stay until now." Yang Yan said again.
Shi Xiayue couldn't guess the purpose of his words, so she simply asked, "What does Your Highness mean?"
"Gu heard that my cousin has a sweetheart," Yang Yan peeped at her face and said, "It's Gu's second younger brother, Yang Ji."
"What?" Shi Xiayue was a little surprised, but also a little embarrassed. She thought that the prince suddenly mentioned that he wanted to accept this cousin, but it turned out that she had misunderstood.
Now that she thinks about it carefully again, she realizes how ridiculous her thoughts just now are. With the status of the Rong family and the relationship with the crown prince, if he really has such thoughts, I'm afraid it's not her turn to be the crown princess. Bar?
I don't know why I was so single-minded just now, thinking like that?
However, she is also from a family, and she is very clear about the thoughts of these families, so she hesitated and said, "I'm afraid Mr. Rong will not agree?"
As the emperor's bloodline, the second prince was supposed to be extremely noble, but he was despised by the emperor, even ordinary powerful families couldn't match him, so the Rong family, who is now so powerful, naturally looked down on him.
"The concubine has heard about the entanglements between the Rong family and the Xiao family back then, doesn't it mean that she doesn't know about Yinhua?" Shi Xiayue thought of something again and asked.
"Whether she knows or not, I don't know, but the second emperor probably knows." Yang Yan saw that she thought of so many things in an instant, and her face was normal, so she immediately felt relieved and didn't mind revealing more.
"Your Highness, what do you mean that the Second Emperor deliberately approached Yinhua?" Shi Xiayue frowned lightly, "What does he want to do? Could it be that he wants to take the opportunity to avenge the Xiao family and Concubine Xiao?"
But she couldn't figure out what role Rong Yinhua could play in it. Although she was the noble daughter of the Rong family, she was not that important compared to the entire Rong family.
"Shaoyang Ji is probably not as simple as it seems on the surface, but Rong Yinhua should know about it." Yang Yan said.
This is the first time Shi Xiayue has heard him call Rong Jianhua together. In the past, he would either call her cousin, or call her "Yin'er" affectionately.
She suddenly understood, and said angrily: "Thanks to your highness for being so kind to her, she actually joined forces with outsiders to plot against you!"
"Then she probably has bad intentions when she invites you to escape the summer heat this time. Your Highness, did this concubine reject her, or is she just playing tricks?"
Seeing her so transparent, Yang Yan was very satisfied, and said: "Just pretend you don't know, and make preparations as usual."
"Yes, my concubine understands." Shi Xiayue said worriedly, "If Your Highness has any other orders, just tell my concubine to do it. We are a husband and wife. Only when Your Highness is good, will my concubine be good."
"Gu Zhenzhen has something that only you can do." Yang Yan said with a smile.
"Your Highness, I will do my best!" Shi Xiayue assured me very reliably.
"That is to take good care of ourselves and our second child." Yang Yan said, "No matter what happens, put yourselves first, can you do it?"
Shi Xiayue felt warm in her heart, and said seriously: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this concubine will definitely not hold you back, and will definitely protect our child."
***
Tell the crown princess not to show any traces on her face, because Yang Yan doesn't know if there is any eyeliner planted by the second emperor's younger brother in the crown prince's womb. Seeing that she really listened to it, he went back to his bedroom and slept peacefully. The next day, he appeared energetically in Chaoshang.
Emperor Zhengrui is only 44 years old now, except for him and Shaoyang Ji who are adults, the third and fourth princes are only about ten years old, so he is the only prince who is in charge of the court.
As for Shaoyang Ji, both the emperor and the courtiers ignored him.
Speaking of which, Emperor Zhengrui was really cruel and ruthless to him, if the original owner hadn't accidentally bumped into this second younger brother, seeing that he was 12 years old and still illiterate, pleading for mercy for him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to enter the study.
And six years ago, when Shaoyang Jicai was about to be 16 years old, the emperor couldn't wait to let him go out of the palace to build a mansion. There was no royal title as usual, and he didn't give many rules, telling him to only act as a prince. The name of the mansion was given to a mansion that had been abandoned for several years.
The original owner still couldn't see it, so he ordered the Ministry of Industry to send someone to repair it, so that he would not be an imposing prince and live in a leaky house.
In this way, Shaoyang Ji has truly inherited the disposition of their father. The original owner did not say that he was kind to him, at least he was not sorry for him, but he showed no mercy to him in the two lives, and took it coldly. his life.
I don't know if the original owner has regretted the helping hands extended at the beginning?Maybe if he wasn't too busy, Shaoyang Ji wouldn't have the ability to lead troops into the palace?
Moreover, Shaoyang Ji is now 22 years old, and on the surface, not only has he accomplished nothing, but no one has even mentioned his marriage.
When Yang Yan thought of this, a smirk suddenly appeared on his face. Maybe he could mention it to his father. If he really moved him, I believe the heroine must have a pretty face!
Just do it when you think about it, after the imperial court was over, and after receiving the personal guidance from Emperor Zhengrui, he really mentioned this matter.
"How did you think of this?" Judging from the emperor's face, he was not very happy.
"I also saw that Yun'er was three years old yesterday, and the second imperial brother is the same age as Erchen, but he hasn't settled down yet..."
"Yun'er hasn't entered the palace for a long time." When mentioning the little grandson, Emperor Zhengrui's face softened, "Next time Xiumu, you can bring him into the palace for me to see."
"Yes, I obey." Yang Yan said honestly.
Afterwards, Emperor Zhengrui changed the subject and talked about political affairs, apparently still not intending to marry the second prince whom he disliked.
Although Yang Yan expected this to be one of the results, he did not expect that his father would not even say a word, obviously he hated Shaoyang Ji to the extreme.
He couldn't help guessing whether there was another hidden story about what happened back then. If it was just because of the collusion between the Xiao family and the former prince who was deposed, the deposed prince had been dead for so many years, and the Xiao family had already been defeated. As for venting anger like this?
After all, it is also the blood of close relatives.
It's a pity that those old things have passed away with many people, and it is difficult to piece together the truth.
No, Yang Yan suddenly thought, there must be one person who must know something inside, that is the original owner's mother, the queen of the dynasty.
Although these past events seem to have nothing to do with him, he just has a feeling that if he finds out the reason why Shaoyang Ji was rejected, it might be helpful.
Thinking this way, after Yang Yan came out of the emperor's palace, he didn't immediately go back to the crown prince's palace, but instead went to the queen's Anyang palace.
The queen was a little surprised when she saw him: "Why is the prince here at this time?"
She is only in her early 40s now, and because of the good maintenance, her complexion and skin look like she is only in her twenties, but her clothing and makeup are serious, adding a bit of traces of time.
"My son misses his mother, so I came to see you." In the original owner's memory, the mother and son got along very casually in private, so Yang Yan answered with a smile according to the previous situation.
"You have such a mouth, the queen mother is getting more and more overwhelmed." The queen complained in her mouth, but in her heart it was very useful. Which mother doesn't want to be close to her child?
Yang Yan said a few more witty words, which coaxed her to smile, and finally she said: "Come on, what is the matter with you coming to see the queen mother? Let's just say it straight!"
"I really can't hide anything from you, Queen Mother!" Yang Yan exaggeratedly said with emotion.
"Knowledge is better than mother." The queen nodded his forehead and said, "You want to hide it from mother and reincarnate in the next life!"
Yang Yan chuckled, and then asked about the past.
Unexpectedly, the queen's face changed when she heard this: "Why did the prince think of inquiring about this matter? How many years have passed, what is the cause and effect of it, and what matters?"
From her reaction, Yang Yan was even more convinced that there was an inside story to what happened back then, and hurriedly said, "Since it's an old story, what can't be said? Queen Mother, you can tell me!"
The queen seemed to have sensed her gaffe, forced a smile, and said, "You know almost everything the queen mother knows, that is, the Xiao family colluded with the abolished prince back then, implicating the concubine Xiao Gui and the second prince at that time, just because the abolished prince was your father's emperor. So I don’t want to mention more.”
"Really?" Yang Yan asked, but the queen still refused to say anything more, so he could only ask, "I heard that this matter was stabbed by someone from my grandfather, is it true, or..."
He didn't say the following words, but the queen had understood it, and patted him on the shoulder pretendingly, saying: "Look at what you said!"
"Is your father a person who can be easily deceived? If it is not the truth, you only need to check to find out the truth. The Xiao family really colluded with that person. There are all witnesses and evidences. How can they deny it?"
After she finished speaking, she lightly rubbed her forehead and said, "Okay, I'm tired, so go ahead."
Having reached this point, Yang Yan couldn't ask any further questions, so he had to ask the palace maid to take care of her and then leave.
He originally planned to tell her about the second prince, but after thinking about it, he gave up. It wasn't that he couldn't trust the original owner's mother, the main reason was that she would definitely tell the Rong family after she knew about it.
Some secrets are no longer secrets if more people know them. If there is a trace in the middle, and Shaoyang Ji knows that he has been exposed, he may act in advance.
Now the cause of his father's sudden serious illness has not yet been found out, and he is not ready yet, if there is an emergency, he is afraid that he will repeat the same mistakes as the original owner.
After returning to the Taiwort, Yang Yan summoned some guards in batches. These people had accompanied the original owner to die. Regardless of their abilities, at least their loyalty was guaranteed.
Confessing that they secretly investigated the whereabouts of the second prince and Rong Yinhua in recent days, Yang Yan remembered something again and asked someone to bring over the information of the imperial physician in the palace for him to check.
Because the crown princess is now a month old, he said that he wanted to choose an imperial doctor for her, but it didn't arouse people's suspicion.
However, after the investigation, he did not find anything wrong with it. These imperial physicians were all innocent and had their backgrounds to check.
In fact, this is not surprising, after all, they enter the palace to serve the nobles, if their identities are doubtful on the surface, it is impossible for them to have the opportunity to enter the palace.
As for the deeper things, the time was too short, and he was worried that he would startle the snake, so he had to put it down temporarily.
However, Yang Yan was not discouraged. He recalled his previous thoughts in the court, communicated with the princess, and talked about Shaoyang Ji's marriage in public when he went out for a walk with her, and signaled to a few loyal eunuchs and maids to promise Let the hostess know that he wants to ask the emperor to marry him.
Sure enough, Rong Yinhua soon found out, she almost turned her nose in anger, and hated the nosy Yang Yan in her heart!
However, she could only hate secretly in her heart, she dared not reveal her personal relationship with the second prince, because she knew very well that her grandfather and father would never allow him to marry him under the current circumstances. Second prince.
As for revealing that the second prince will ascend the throne in the future, that's even more impossible. If she said it, her father would definitely tell the emperor. If the second prince failed because of this, then how could she be a queen?
After thinking about it, Rong Yinhua could only find the second prince quietly, and when the two met, she looked at him with resentful eyes, and her beautiful eyes made her want to cry.
"Yin'er, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you?" Shaoyang Ji hugged her heartbroken, "Tell me, whoever dares to bully you with such blind eyes, I will definitely make him die without a place to bury him! "
"You are not allowed to talk nonsense!" Rong Yinhua quickly covered his mouth, pouted and said, "It's not that you bully me, you are the only one who can bully me, big villain!"
That's it!
It was him who somehow provoked her, Shaoyang Ji felt warm in his heart, how could his voice be so cute?
Even if he is angry with himself, he is not allowed to say unfavorable words.
"Okay, okay, I'm a big villain, I was wrong." Shaoyang Ji hugged her quickly, and coaxed softly in her ear, "But Yin'er always gives me a chance to change my ways and tell me why I happened Am I feeling alright?"
"You're going to marry another woman, so why do I care if I'm angry or not?" It's okay if he doesn't coax Rong Yinhua, but when he coaxes Rong Yinhua, he feels even more aggrieved, big and big tears rolled out of his eyes as soon as he blinked.
"Who said I'm going to marry another woman?" Shaoyang Ji laughed, and quickly raised his fingers to swear, "I, Shaoyang Ji, will only marry Rong Yinhua in this life. If you violate this oath, call me die……"
"Don't swear recklessly!" Rong Yinhua quickly covered his mouth and said angrily, "Why are you talking nonsense? Even if one day you really betray me, I want you to be well."
Shaoyang Ji was greatly moved, and hugged her vigorously: "Yin'er, why are you so nice? How can I, Shaoyang Ji, be able to get your love?"
"You are fine..." Rong Yinhua lowered her head shyly, "It is my luck to have your love."
Just after reading the memory of the original owner, the maid's report came from outside the house, and Yang Yan said indifferently: "Broadcast."
To be honest, he doesn't know the heroine very well. Since there is such a great opportunity to be reborn, why didn't he tell the prince what he knew in advance, so that he could take precautions early, so as to prevent the second prince from growing stronger and attacking the palace in the future?
After all, the crown prince is the real backing of the Rong family. As long as he does not fall, the Rong family will be almost invincible.
As a member of the Rong family and the prince's direct cousin, with such a great contribution, Rong Yinhua's status is as stable as Mount Tai.
As long as she didn't commit an unforgivable crime, Shao Yangyan's temperament would definitely protect her for a lifetime of glory and wealth.
But what Rong Yinhua chose was to kill the little palace maid, take her place by himself, capture the affection of the second prince, and then act as a spy for him to find out a lot of information from Shaoyang Yan.
In the end, relying on the trust of the prince, he was led into the trap and easily killed.
According to the script, the story ended abruptly after the second prince ascended the throne and held a grand wedding to marry Rong Yinhua. It seemed a happy ending, but Yang Yan always felt that everything would not end so simply. After all, the Rong family and the second prince Shaoyang There is a bloody feud between the two.
At the beginning of Emperor Zhengrui's ascension to the throne, the court asked for a crown prince. His original spouse died early, leaving no son and a half daughter. At that time, the only ones who gave birth to him were Concubine Rong and Concubine Xiao.
Although Shao Yangyan was one month older, Shao Yang Ji's mother and concubine Xiao Guifei was more favored by the emperor, so his chances were even greater, and the Xiao family in the court kept building up momentum for their mother and son.
Seeing that the matter was about to be a foregone conclusion, someone suddenly revealed that the Xiao family had colluded with the former deposed prince, and there were all witnesses and material evidence.
The most taboo of Emperor Zhengrui was to abolish the crown prince. In a fit of rage, he ransacked the Xiao family's home and exiled it. The former favorite Concubine Xiao was implicated and deprived of her imperial concubine title, and died of illness within two years.
Because of this, the second prince was despised by the emperor. He was bullied and treated indifferently in the palace since he was a child, and grew up like a weed.
It was the person in charge of the Rong family who reported the matter and found out the evidence at the time. Not long after that, the emperor made Shaoyang Yan the crown prince, and his mother and concubine also became the empress logically.
It can be said that the wealth and honor of the Rong family in the next ten years is completely on top of the bones of the Xiao family. Why does Rong Yinhua think that Shaoyang Ji will let the Rong family go after he comes to power?
Could it be based on Shaoyang Ji's true love for her?But how long can a man's true love last?
If he knew that these were all calculated by Rong Yinhua, would his friendship still exist?
Yang Yan was very curious.
"Brother Prince!" Rong Yinhua was quickly ushered in. She had a sweet smile on her face, and her words were extremely intimate. It was not at all obvious that she was secretly plotting to kill him.
She is now eighteen years old, but she is still unmarried, because the second prince has been hiding his strength for so many years, and everyone only regards him as a useless prince, and with the current status of the Rong family, it is impossible to allow themselves to be honored The prostitute married a trash.
So she didn't dare to reveal her true relationship with Shaoyang Ji, and told her family that she would marry only when she found someone she really liked. In fact, she had frequent contacts with him secretly, and only waited for him to marry her after he ascended the throne.
The Rong family didn't allow her to mess around like this, but she went to the original owner and complained. At that time, Shao Yangyan loved her like his own sister, so he came forward to talk to the owner of the Rong family, and promised to invite the princess for her , Only then did she fight for the freedom of marriage before the age of 20.
In this way, Rong Yinhua really made full use of the original owner.
"Why did you come here?" Yang Yan thought about what she had done, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Prince, you speak so coldly!" Rong Yinhua pouted dissatisfiedly, and said coquettishly, "Do you not want to see me?"
That's true!Such a beautiful snake, if it wasn't for the purpose of inquiring about the second emperor's next plan through her, how could he have the patience to pretend to be a snake with her?
Although the story was originally developed from the perspective of Rong Yinhua, but she has no abilities, so she is nothing to be afraid of. What Yang Yan really cares about is his second brother.
Since the age of four, Shaoyang Ji has been living in the cold palace with his mother and concubine. At the age of six, he lost his only support. He was bullied by eunuchs and maids in the palace for many years. It was not until the age of 12 that he had the mercy of the original owner. Study room opportunities.
Such a powerless and helpless prince has accumulated so much power in secret. Before the heroine was reborn, he broke into the palace with one blow, beheaded all his brothers and ascended to the throne. .
In any case, people dare not underestimate him. He even doubted whether Emperor Zhengrui's illness was also his fault. After all, he was in his prime, and he had no symptoms before. It is really strange that the serious illness that will die in the past few days .
Now it is only a month before the emperor is seriously ill. If we can find out clearly, we may be able to avoid such an ending.
Yang Yan was thinking in his heart, but there was a doting smile on his face like the original owner's usual: "Gu Fang was thinking about political affairs, it's just a matter of one sentence, you dare to accuse Gu An of a crime."
"Who told the prince to spoil me!" Rong Yinhua said proudly.
Yang Yan shook his head helplessly: "It's not like I'm alone."
"Yin'er is joking with you, please don't blame the prince." Rong Yinhua blessed Fushen pretending to be afraid, but there was no trace of fear in his eyes.
She expected that the person in front of her would not be serious with her, what is the most wise and wise prince in this dynasty?He's just a useless man. In his last life, brother Yang Ji took the throne, and in this life he's also in her hands, playing around with him.
Thinking of this, Rong Yinhua couldn't help showing a trace of contempt in her eyes. The emotion just flashed by, and she returned to her charming appearance in a blink of an eye. If Yang Yan hadn't been paying attention to her expression, she might have become like the original owner. Also ignore the past.
"Does Gu dare to blame you?" He laughed, "I don't want to see you turn around and run to the queen mother to complain, making Gu no peace."
"Brother Prince knows it's okay to be afraid!" Rong Yinhua said proudly instead of being ashamed, "Auntie loves me the most!"
It's a pity that your aunt, who loves you so much, was forced to commit suicide after Shaoyang Ji gained power, and I didn't see you pleading for her.
The coldness in Yang Yan's eyes flashed away, but he put on a look of "I'm really afraid of you" on his face: "Okay, Gu still has business to deal with, so why don't you come to see Gu? And which jewelry is not enough for silver taels? Or which Zhuangzi wants it?"
The heroine has done such things before. She was used to big hands when she was a princess in her previous life. She refused to marry him in this life, so her hands are naturally tight.
It's just that the first daughter of the Rong family doesn't have many monthly cases, and she couldn't stand her spending freely, so she put her mind on her "ex-husband". Maybe in her mind, spending his money is a matter of course?
As the prince, the original owner would never be short of money, but he never cared about her taking advantage of it. The prince concubine couldn't say anything when she saw her husband doting on this cousin. As long as they were not ambiguous, a little money would be considered to buy peace.
In this way, a lot of good things were poached by the heroine. Yang Yan did a rough calculation, and the accumulated amount could be equivalent to a county's tax revenue for several years. After disposing of her, she should get it back with interest.
"Neither of the two," Rong Yinhua didn't know that he was actually being ridiculed, so he pulled his sleeves and said coquettishly, "The weather will heat up in half a month, Brother Prince, when the time comes, you will bring me and Sister-in-law, nephew, and the others go to the palace together to escape the heat, okay?"
Yang Yan recalled the memory of the original owner, and found that there was no such thing in her life before her rebirth, but after her rebirth, she had proposed it like today.
I'm afraid that knowing that Emperor Zhengrui is going to die in a month, he will be transferred in advance to pave the way for his lover, but I don't know if she made it on her own, or was instructed by his good brother?
It's just that the original owner is a serious and responsible person. As the prince, he feels that he has a great responsibility, so he didn't agree to her proposal. On the contrary, he said that he should not be greedy for comfort.
He was talking about himself, but Rong Yinhua mistakenly thought he was blaming her, lost his temper a lot, and finally the two broke up.
After pondering for a while, Yang Yan said: "Prince Princess is about to give birth, it might be inconvenient to travel..."
A flash of jealousy flashed in Rong Yinhua's eyes. In her previous life, after she married this man, she was unable to conceive for some reason. Although the imperial physician said that her body was fine after treatment, she was still unable to conceive.
The emperor and empress were afraid that he would end up with no heir, so they quickly named him two good concubines and several good concubines. Fortunately, they didn't make any movement, so she didn't lose face as a princess.
After being reborn, she firmly believed that this useless man could not give birth, but the princess he married gave birth to a grandson the second year after entering the door, and now she is about to give birth to a second child.
Although others don't know, but she has a feeling of being compared, which really makes her very upset!
"Brother Prince has lost his mind," Rong Yinhua hurriedly said, "Pregnant women have a high body temperature, and they are most afraid of extreme heat. It is for the sake of your sister-in-law, you should also make plans."
Seeing that the man seems to be moving, she continued to persuade: "Yin'er knows a good place to escape the summer heat. It's not far from the capital, and it only takes half a day's journey. When the time comes, the convoy will drive slowly so that my sister-in-law won't be tired. .”
"This..." Yang Yan hesitated, "Nagu discuss it with the Crown Princess."
"Yin'er, go talk to your sister-in-law!" Rong Yinhua managed to persuade him, fearing that something might happen, he quickly took over the important task, turned around and walked out, "If the sister-in-law agrees, the prince brother can't keep silent Believe it!"
"You girl, you want to go out to play so much?" Yang Yan said angrily on purpose.
"Yin'er is also good for you, okay?" Rong Yinhua turned his head and stuck out his tongue at him, "Brother Prince doesn't know good people, hum!"
After finishing speaking, she disappeared outside the door in a flash.
For his good?hehe.Yang Yan sneered in his heart.
***
Now Emperor Zhengrui is in his prime, controlling the government with one hand. As the prince, Yang Yan actually doesn't have too many government affairs to deal with. Will get the emperor's personal guidance.
Today's political speech is over, and the rest of the time is arranged by himself. The original owner had a sudden inspiration and asked the maid to spread the paper and prepare to write poems and paintings, but he was disturbed because he changed his soul midway.
Yang Yan is not in that mood now either. After Rong Yinhua went to find the princess, he looked through the memorials of the courtiers and the reply from the emperor. You need to get familiar with it and find the feeling.
Soon the maid who was sent to wait on the hostess came to report, saying that Miss Biao had left the uterus. He asked the other party's expression at that time, and the maid only thought that he was concerned about Miss Rong, and she couldn't help but sigh with emotion for her good life. , truthfully said.
Yang Yan learned that she left with a smile, and knew that she probably convinced the princess as she wished, so he was not surprised. But very neat.
Under the influence of the original owner, the Crown Princess also took good care of this cousin, and under the banner of being good for them, it was not difficult to get her to agree under the pretense of mental calculation or carelessness.
Now that the princess is seven months pregnant, Yang Yan hesitates whether to tell her about the possible drastic changes in the future.
If he didn't say anything, he was afraid that his protection would not be strict enough, and he would accidentally lead her into someone else's way.
In other words, it is the time when she is prone to overthinking, and if she is shocked and affects her body, it will not be a good thing.
After thinking about it again and again, Yang Yan still couldn't make up his mind, so he simply decided to meet her, show off a little, and see her reaction before making a decision.
After making a decision, he put down what he was doing and went to the princess's bedroom, but unexpectedly bumped into him at the door who came to invite the eldest son of An Yuanzhu.
"The son has seen the father."
Xiaotuanzi Shao Chengyun was only three years old, Yuxue was cute, and he bowed his hands to say hello sternly, with a special sense of joy in that small appearance.
Unexpectedly, the parents in the last small world had always hoped that his wish to raise a child had not been fulfilled, but this world had just arrived and had a ready-made son.
Although Yang Yan had nephews and nieces, maybe he seemed too strict in his last life. When they were young, they all looked at him and ran away. They are closer to the lively and cheerful little uncle who can play with them, so there are not many experience with children.
In the original owner's memory, the eldest son was raised by the princess most of the time, so he only asked about his daily life and study every day, and nothing else.
The father and son met indifferently, one greeted him, and the other took a test on his studies. The three-year-old child already looked like an elementary school student, completely different from the monkeys of his little nephew and niece in his previous life.
Yang Yan was startled, and suddenly leaned over and picked him up. A child had never been treated like this before, and subconsciously grabbed his skirt, with a look of shock on his face.
"Come to say hello to mother?" Yang Yan asked knowingly after straightening the long hair on the side of his face.
"Yes, yes." Shao Chengyun babbled and replied, his expression was very tangled, "Father, father, this is against the rules."
"Where are there so many rules?" Yang Yan turned upside down and said, "Well, why are you so light? Didn't you eat well recently?"
"My son has to eat obediently!" Xiao Chengyun hurriedly argued.
In fact, the original owner had never hugged him before, how could Yang Yan know whether he was light or heavy?It was just to divert his attention.
No matter how mature Xiao Chengyun looked, he was only a three-year-old child. As expected, he immediately attracted him to care about his weight, desperately recalling what he had eaten in the past two days, and was carried into the palace by him without knowing it.
"His Royal Highness is here." Crown Princess Shi Xiayue was sitting by the window, threading needles, when she saw the father and son's eyes flashed with surprise.
The royal family pays attention to holding grandchildren and not having children. The prince used to be the most polite and never had any luck. What's the matter today?
Although she was a little puzzled, she wisely didn't ask aloud, but directly called someone to pick up the emperor's grandson, saying that she would not tire the prince.
"Luck is so heavy, how can you be so tired?" Yang Yan laughed, and didn't let go, but sat opposite her with the child in her arms, and said softly, "You are so heavy now, why do you still do these yourself? Don't be tired. arrive."
"Xie Dian □□tie," said Shi Xiayue, who was plump due to pregnancy, with two blushes on her face, and looked very good, "I want to sew a small dress for my unborn grandson, just one, tired not reach."
"Be careful yourself." Yang Yan said lightly, although he didn't see anything on his face, he was actually uncomfortable all over.
These are the wife and children of the original owner. After Shao Yangyan’s tragic death in his last life, he didn’t know what the result was waiting for them. They were not mentioned in the scriptures, but the queen was forced to commit suicide, and their end would not be the same. good.
The original owner's wish was to protect the queen mother, his wife and children, and let Rong Yinhua suffer the consequences. He will try his best to do it, but he is not the original owner after all, so he can't take over his wife, right?
It's so bald, he can't do it!
I don't know why, but he has no interest in human feelings at all. I don't know if the princess is willing to be his wife on the surface, but actually treat him as a partner?
Forget it, let's talk about it after Rong Yinhua and the second brother are dealt with, and after she gives birth to a child!
Thinking so, Yang Yan buried her head in teasing Xiao Chengyun.
Children are children, no matter how mature they look on the surface, their admiration for their parents cannot be suppressed.
Under his intentional guidance, Xiao Chengyun soon became lively, taking a mouthful of his father, and was reluctantly taken down by the wet nurse to wash up until the meal was finished.
"Your Highness is very different today." When there were only two people left in the room, Shi Xiayue looked at him with probing eyes.
"Today my cousin proposed to go to escape the summer heat together, and I realized that I usually ignored you too much." Yang Yan had already thought up his speech, and said calmly at this time.
Shi Xiayue was only curious for a while, but she didn't suspect that he was not the original owner because of such a small matter. Generally speaking, there was no big difference, and no one would think in that direction.
She heard the words and said hastily: "Your Highness is busy with government affairs, my concubine and Yun'er both understand."
"That's right! Yun'er is only three years old and knows that Gu is busy on weekdays, and her cousin is already eighteen, and she still pesters Gu to go out to play, and I don't know if the emperor will agree." Yang Yan said with deep meaning.
Shi Xiayue's heart skipped a beat, she didn't understand what he meant for a while, so she forced a smile and said, "Yinhua has a child's temper."
"It's not too young. If it were a girl of other people's age, she would have married and had children a long time ago. That's why she was allowed to stay until now." Yang Yan said again.
Shi Xiayue couldn't guess the purpose of his words, so she simply asked, "What does Your Highness mean?"
"Gu heard that my cousin has a sweetheart," Yang Yan peeped at her face and said, "It's Gu's second younger brother, Yang Ji."
"What?" Shi Xiayue was a little surprised, but also a little embarrassed. She thought that the prince suddenly mentioned that he wanted to accept this cousin, but it turned out that she had misunderstood.
Now that she thinks about it carefully again, she realizes how ridiculous her thoughts just now are. With the status of the Rong family and the relationship with the crown prince, if he really has such thoughts, I'm afraid it's not her turn to be the crown princess. Bar?
I don't know why I was so single-minded just now, thinking like that?
However, she is also from a family, and she is very clear about the thoughts of these families, so she hesitated and said, "I'm afraid Mr. Rong will not agree?"
As the emperor's bloodline, the second prince was supposed to be extremely noble, but he was despised by the emperor, even ordinary powerful families couldn't match him, so the Rong family, who is now so powerful, naturally looked down on him.
"The concubine has heard about the entanglements between the Rong family and the Xiao family back then, doesn't it mean that she doesn't know about Yinhua?" Shi Xiayue thought of something again and asked.
"Whether she knows or not, I don't know, but the second emperor probably knows." Yang Yan saw that she thought of so many things in an instant, and her face was normal, so she immediately felt relieved and didn't mind revealing more.
"Your Highness, what do you mean that the Second Emperor deliberately approached Yinhua?" Shi Xiayue frowned lightly, "What does he want to do? Could it be that he wants to take the opportunity to avenge the Xiao family and Concubine Xiao?"
But she couldn't figure out what role Rong Yinhua could play in it. Although she was the noble daughter of the Rong family, she was not that important compared to the entire Rong family.
"Shaoyang Ji is probably not as simple as it seems on the surface, but Rong Yinhua should know about it." Yang Yan said.
This is the first time Shi Xiayue has heard him call Rong Jianhua together. In the past, he would either call her cousin, or call her "Yin'er" affectionately.
She suddenly understood, and said angrily: "Thanks to your highness for being so kind to her, she actually joined forces with outsiders to plot against you!"
"Then she probably has bad intentions when she invites you to escape the summer heat this time. Your Highness, did this concubine reject her, or is she just playing tricks?"
Seeing her so transparent, Yang Yan was very satisfied, and said: "Just pretend you don't know, and make preparations as usual."
"Yes, my concubine understands." Shi Xiayue said worriedly, "If Your Highness has any other orders, just tell my concubine to do it. We are a husband and wife. Only when Your Highness is good, will my concubine be good."
"Gu Zhenzhen has something that only you can do." Yang Yan said with a smile.
"Your Highness, I will do my best!" Shi Xiayue assured me very reliably.
"That is to take good care of ourselves and our second child." Yang Yan said, "No matter what happens, put yourselves first, can you do it?"
Shi Xiayue felt warm in her heart, and said seriously: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this concubine will definitely not hold you back, and will definitely protect our child."
***
Tell the crown princess not to show any traces on her face, because Yang Yan doesn't know if there is any eyeliner planted by the second emperor's younger brother in the crown prince's womb. Seeing that she really listened to it, he went back to his bedroom and slept peacefully. The next day, he appeared energetically in Chaoshang.
Emperor Zhengrui is only 44 years old now, except for him and Shaoyang Ji who are adults, the third and fourth princes are only about ten years old, so he is the only prince who is in charge of the court.
As for Shaoyang Ji, both the emperor and the courtiers ignored him.
Speaking of which, Emperor Zhengrui was really cruel and ruthless to him, if the original owner hadn't accidentally bumped into this second younger brother, seeing that he was 12 years old and still illiterate, pleading for mercy for him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to enter the study.
And six years ago, when Shaoyang Jicai was about to be 16 years old, the emperor couldn't wait to let him go out of the palace to build a mansion. There was no royal title as usual, and he didn't give many rules, telling him to only act as a prince. The name of the mansion was given to a mansion that had been abandoned for several years.
The original owner still couldn't see it, so he ordered the Ministry of Industry to send someone to repair it, so that he would not be an imposing prince and live in a leaky house.
In this way, Shaoyang Ji has truly inherited the disposition of their father. The original owner did not say that he was kind to him, at least he was not sorry for him, but he showed no mercy to him in the two lives, and took it coldly. his life.
I don't know if the original owner has regretted the helping hands extended at the beginning?Maybe if he wasn't too busy, Shaoyang Ji wouldn't have the ability to lead troops into the palace?
Moreover, Shaoyang Ji is now 22 years old, and on the surface, not only has he accomplished nothing, but no one has even mentioned his marriage.
When Yang Yan thought of this, a smirk suddenly appeared on his face. Maybe he could mention it to his father. If he really moved him, I believe the heroine must have a pretty face!
Just do it when you think about it, after the imperial court was over, and after receiving the personal guidance from Emperor Zhengrui, he really mentioned this matter.
"How did you think of this?" Judging from the emperor's face, he was not very happy.
"I also saw that Yun'er was three years old yesterday, and the second imperial brother is the same age as Erchen, but he hasn't settled down yet..."
"Yun'er hasn't entered the palace for a long time." When mentioning the little grandson, Emperor Zhengrui's face softened, "Next time Xiumu, you can bring him into the palace for me to see."
"Yes, I obey." Yang Yan said honestly.
Afterwards, Emperor Zhengrui changed the subject and talked about political affairs, apparently still not intending to marry the second prince whom he disliked.
Although Yang Yan expected this to be one of the results, he did not expect that his father would not even say a word, obviously he hated Shaoyang Ji to the extreme.
He couldn't help guessing whether there was another hidden story about what happened back then. If it was just because of the collusion between the Xiao family and the former prince who was deposed, the deposed prince had been dead for so many years, and the Xiao family had already been defeated. As for venting anger like this?
After all, it is also the blood of close relatives.
It's a pity that those old things have passed away with many people, and it is difficult to piece together the truth.
No, Yang Yan suddenly thought, there must be one person who must know something inside, that is the original owner's mother, the queen of the dynasty.
Although these past events seem to have nothing to do with him, he just has a feeling that if he finds out the reason why Shaoyang Ji was rejected, it might be helpful.
Thinking this way, after Yang Yan came out of the emperor's palace, he didn't immediately go back to the crown prince's palace, but instead went to the queen's Anyang palace.
The queen was a little surprised when she saw him: "Why is the prince here at this time?"
She is only in her early 40s now, and because of the good maintenance, her complexion and skin look like she is only in her twenties, but her clothing and makeup are serious, adding a bit of traces of time.
"My son misses his mother, so I came to see you." In the original owner's memory, the mother and son got along very casually in private, so Yang Yan answered with a smile according to the previous situation.
"You have such a mouth, the queen mother is getting more and more overwhelmed." The queen complained in her mouth, but in her heart it was very useful. Which mother doesn't want to be close to her child?
Yang Yan said a few more witty words, which coaxed her to smile, and finally she said: "Come on, what is the matter with you coming to see the queen mother? Let's just say it straight!"
"I really can't hide anything from you, Queen Mother!" Yang Yan exaggeratedly said with emotion.
"Knowledge is better than mother." The queen nodded his forehead and said, "You want to hide it from mother and reincarnate in the next life!"
Yang Yan chuckled, and then asked about the past.
Unexpectedly, the queen's face changed when she heard this: "Why did the prince think of inquiring about this matter? How many years have passed, what is the cause and effect of it, and what matters?"
From her reaction, Yang Yan was even more convinced that there was an inside story to what happened back then, and hurriedly said, "Since it's an old story, what can't be said? Queen Mother, you can tell me!"
The queen seemed to have sensed her gaffe, forced a smile, and said, "You know almost everything the queen mother knows, that is, the Xiao family colluded with the abolished prince back then, implicating the concubine Xiao Gui and the second prince at that time, just because the abolished prince was your father's emperor. So I don’t want to mention more.”
"Really?" Yang Yan asked, but the queen still refused to say anything more, so he could only ask, "I heard that this matter was stabbed by someone from my grandfather, is it true, or..."
He didn't say the following words, but the queen had understood it, and patted him on the shoulder pretendingly, saying: "Look at what you said!"
"Is your father a person who can be easily deceived? If it is not the truth, you only need to check to find out the truth. The Xiao family really colluded with that person. There are all witnesses and evidences. How can they deny it?"
After she finished speaking, she lightly rubbed her forehead and said, "Okay, I'm tired, so go ahead."
Having reached this point, Yang Yan couldn't ask any further questions, so he had to ask the palace maid to take care of her and then leave.
He originally planned to tell her about the second prince, but after thinking about it, he gave up. It wasn't that he couldn't trust the original owner's mother, the main reason was that she would definitely tell the Rong family after she knew about it.
Some secrets are no longer secrets if more people know them. If there is a trace in the middle, and Shaoyang Ji knows that he has been exposed, he may act in advance.
Now the cause of his father's sudden serious illness has not yet been found out, and he is not ready yet, if there is an emergency, he is afraid that he will repeat the same mistakes as the original owner.
After returning to the Taiwort, Yang Yan summoned some guards in batches. These people had accompanied the original owner to die. Regardless of their abilities, at least their loyalty was guaranteed.
Confessing that they secretly investigated the whereabouts of the second prince and Rong Yinhua in recent days, Yang Yan remembered something again and asked someone to bring over the information of the imperial physician in the palace for him to check.
Because the crown princess is now a month old, he said that he wanted to choose an imperial doctor for her, but it didn't arouse people's suspicion.
However, after the investigation, he did not find anything wrong with it. These imperial physicians were all innocent and had their backgrounds to check.
In fact, this is not surprising, after all, they enter the palace to serve the nobles, if their identities are doubtful on the surface, it is impossible for them to have the opportunity to enter the palace.
As for the deeper things, the time was too short, and he was worried that he would startle the snake, so he had to put it down temporarily.
However, Yang Yan was not discouraged. He recalled his previous thoughts in the court, communicated with the princess, and talked about Shaoyang Ji's marriage in public when he went out for a walk with her, and signaled to a few loyal eunuchs and maids to promise Let the hostess know that he wants to ask the emperor to marry him.
Sure enough, Rong Yinhua soon found out, she almost turned her nose in anger, and hated the nosy Yang Yan in her heart!
However, she could only hate secretly in her heart, she dared not reveal her personal relationship with the second prince, because she knew very well that her grandfather and father would never allow him to marry him under the current circumstances. Second prince.
As for revealing that the second prince will ascend the throne in the future, that's even more impossible. If she said it, her father would definitely tell the emperor. If the second prince failed because of this, then how could she be a queen?
After thinking about it, Rong Yinhua could only find the second prince quietly, and when the two met, she looked at him with resentful eyes, and her beautiful eyes made her want to cry.
"Yin'er, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you?" Shaoyang Ji hugged her heartbroken, "Tell me, whoever dares to bully you with such blind eyes, I will definitely make him die without a place to bury him! "
"You are not allowed to talk nonsense!" Rong Yinhua quickly covered his mouth, pouted and said, "It's not that you bully me, you are the only one who can bully me, big villain!"
That's it!
It was him who somehow provoked her, Shaoyang Ji felt warm in his heart, how could his voice be so cute?
Even if he is angry with himself, he is not allowed to say unfavorable words.
"Okay, okay, I'm a big villain, I was wrong." Shaoyang Ji hugged her quickly, and coaxed softly in her ear, "But Yin'er always gives me a chance to change my ways and tell me why I happened Am I feeling alright?"
"You're going to marry another woman, so why do I care if I'm angry or not?" It's okay if he doesn't coax Rong Yinhua, but when he coaxes Rong Yinhua, he feels even more aggrieved, big and big tears rolled out of his eyes as soon as he blinked.
"Who said I'm going to marry another woman?" Shaoyang Ji laughed, and quickly raised his fingers to swear, "I, Shaoyang Ji, will only marry Rong Yinhua in this life. If you violate this oath, call me die……"
"Don't swear recklessly!" Rong Yinhua quickly covered his mouth and said angrily, "Why are you talking nonsense? Even if one day you really betray me, I want you to be well."
Shaoyang Ji was greatly moved, and hugged her vigorously: "Yin'er, why are you so nice? How can I, Shaoyang Ji, be able to get your love?"
"You are fine..." Rong Yinhua lowered her head shyly, "It is my luck to have your love."
