The Jingyuan Garden is located on the main axis of the Prince Regent's Palace and is also the largest garden in the entire Palace.
But unlike other places in the palace, this place seems more quiet.
As soon as you step into the Jingyuan, the whole world seems to be quiet. The bustling hustle and bustle outside has nothing to do with it. It is so quiet that it hardly resembles a prince's courtyard.
Xie Chengyou doesn't like coming to Jingyuan, let alone meeting Xie Yan, even if this person is his nominal father.
"Young Master." The shadow standing at the door bowed slightly when he saw Xie Chengyou.
Xie Chengyou's eyes dimmed and he whispered: "Die Ying, father, are you free to see me now?"
Duiying looked at Xie Chengyou, who looked a little pale and was obviously stiff in his movements, and replied: "The prince and Crown Prince Wei are talking inside. Sir, please wait a moment while my subordinates report."
"Of course." Xie Chengyou smiled, but he was very unhappy in his heart.
He was attacked outside the city in the afternoon. When he woke up, he found that the clothes on his body were in pieces, and someone had carved a large bloody character on his chest.
Thinking of how the coachman looked when he saw him, Xie Chengyou wanted to kill someone!
Don't let him know who is behind this!
After returning to the mansion, I had just finished taking the medicine and had no time to rest when a servant came to report that Xie Yan was back and seemed to be seriously injured.
Xie Chengyou didn't dare to delay at all, so he could only hold on to the pain in his body and come over to pay his respects to his "father".
Crown Prince Wei...Wei Changting, the Crown Prince of the Lingchuan Marquis Mansion, was another character he hated.
Wei Changting was only four years older than Xie Chengyou, but he was different from the standard routine of noble sons like Xie Chengyou who stayed in the imperial city. Wei Changting sneaked into the battlefield at the age of sixteen, and once served as the late emperor's imperial bodyguard.
If Xie Yan is a being that everyone in the Imperial City can only look up to, but it is out of reach but there is not much thought.
Wei Changting is what all noble families see as "other people's children." Whenever the elders in the family want to educate their children, they always have to say something about Prince Wei.
However, Wei Changting also has a very good relationship with Xie Yan, and he can almost be said to be Xie Yan's confidant.
When Wei Changting first joined the army, it was when Xie Yan was at his most energetic on the battlefield, so Wei Changting naturally became Xie Yan's diehard loyalist.
After a while, the shadow came out and said: "My eldest son, the prince has invited you."
"Father." When he stepped into the room, a very faint smell of blood faintly penetrated Xie Chengyou's nose, making him frown slightly.
In a room with simple and dull furnishings, Xie Yan was sitting lazily leaning against the bed.
In Xie Chengyou's impression, Xie Yan was always well-dressed, aloof and imposing.
At this time, Xie Yan was only wearing a single shirt, and the blood-soaked gauze could still be vaguely seen on the slightly open collar. He bent his right knee, put one hand on his knee, and looked at him lightly, as if he was a head.
The ferocious beast is lazily resting after eating and drinking.
However, that aloof aura, as if looking down on the world, has not changed.
Xie Chengyou only glanced at it and quickly lowered his head.
Wei Changting, dressed in white, was sitting leisurely on the side. When Xie Chengyou came in, he didn't mean to get up to say hello. He slowly waved the folding fan in his hand twice.
He didn't have to be polite to Xie Chengyou originally. He was the prince of the Marquis of Lingchuan, and Xie Chengyou was just a prince without a title from the Regent's Palace.
He is one of the youngest generals under the Zhenguo Army and belongs exclusively to the Prince Regent. He is a full-fledged third-rank general under the command of Yun, while Xie Chengyou is just a student of the Imperial Academy.
After a long time, I heard Xie Yan calmly say: "I heard that you had a fight with the second girl of the Luo family?"
Xie Chengyou was shocked and immediately reacted: "Father Wang Mingjian, it's Luo Junyao..."
The events of the Luo family did not spread that day. After all, whether it was a girl from the Luo family who beat Xie Chengyou or Xie Chengyou offended Luo Junyao, those who saw it could only murmur a few words to themselves.
Neither the Luo family nor the Regent's Palace can be offended by ordinary people.
Xie Yan didn't want to hear his excuse. He glanced at his still bruised face and interrupted him: "Go and apologize to General Luo tomorrow."
That little girl was quite ruthless.
Xie Chengyou had encountered difficulties in the Luo family several times, and he was a little unwilling to say: "Father! It was clearly Luo Junyao that day... She has always been domineering, I... I went to the Luo family, but..."
Xie Yan snorted lightly, and Xie Chengyou immediately fell silent and looked up at Xie Yan with some anxiety.
The man was dressed in black singlet, his eyebrows were drawn into his temples, and his handsome face showed neither anger nor warmth.
Just those eyes that looked like cold stars looking at Xie Chengyou made people feel cold to the core.
It is said that Xie Chengyou is the most handsome man in the capital, but if anyone takes a closer look at the man in front of him, they will find that compared to him, Xie Chengyou is far behind in appearance and demeanor.
It's a pity that there are not many people in this world who dare to look up and observe Xie Yan's appearance carefully, especially those who look into his eyes.
Not to mention commenting on his appearance.
Xie Yan himself is not violent, nor is he bloodthirsty. Even getting angry is extremely rare, but everyone can't help but be afraid of him.
His current status and reputation are not due to the favor and trust of two generations of emperors, but because he was killed from countless corpses and seas of blood in the past ten years.
It is no exaggeration to say that he has killed more people than many people will ever see in their lifetime.
"General Luo followed Emperor Gaozu to conquer the country and rule the world. For twenty years, he was stationed at the border and separated his flesh and blood. As a descendant of the Xie family, you openly attacked his daughter in his house. Tell me, how did you do it?
Think about it?" Xie Yan said calmly.
"Father, I..." Xie Chengyou said quickly: "I did something wrong, but it was clearly her who made the move first!"
"Why did she do it?"
"..." Xie Chengyou was speechless.
Xie Yan continued, "Not only did you attack a little girl, you also lost her. Xie Chengyou, you really impress me."
Sitting next to him, Prince Wei couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Xie Chengyou was sweating slightly on his forehead, "I...Xuan Yu knew I was wrong. Please forgive me, father."
Xie Yan said: "Go and apologize to General Luo tomorrow."
"Father, I..."
Luo Junyao, that idiot, will post it again in a few days. Who will apologize then? Why should he lower himself?
Besides, Luo Yun probably has a prejudice against him now, and he doesn't want to bring trouble on himself anymore.
As long as the Luo family wants Luo Junyao's reputation, he doesn't believe they dare to publicize the truth of the matter.
"Back off." Xie Yan didn't want to listen to him anymore and dismissed him calmly.
Although Xie Chengyou was reluctant, he did not dare to say any more, "Yes, Xuan Yu is resigning."
Watching Xie Chengyou go out, Wei Changting waved his fan twice and said, "Your Majesty, do you think he will listen to you? I think our eldest son is arrogant, I'm afraid..."
Compared with others, Wei Changting was not so afraid of Xie Yan.
Not only because he has been with Xie Yan for nearly ten years, but also because he is the nephew of the Empress Dowager and can barely call Xie Yan his cousin.
Xie Yan said: "Hui Yang is violating Yin? No...if he had any brains, he would definitely come to apologize tomorrow."
"That's right. Who wouldn't want Luo Yun's Xuanjia Army?" Wei Changting nodded, "If he has such a father-in-law to support him, I'm afraid you will be in some trouble."
Xie Yan didn't take it seriously: "Luo Yun may not be able to like him."
I want to take advantage of someone else's power and act in a condescending manner.
He's really just like his biological father...annoying.
When Wei Changting thought about Xie Chengyou's gesture, he couldn't help but think of the young master from Prince Mu's house next door who was over forty and had accomplished nothing. It was hard not to agree, "Indeed."
That one just looked arrogant as a matter of course, but this one was better than his predecessor.
Demoting the second girl of the Luo family to nothing is considered a talent.
Does Xie Xuanyu really disdain Luo Junyao? I'm afraid not necessarily.
Luo Junyao had given him countless things in the past two years, but Mr. Xuanyu put them away without mercy at all.
Throughout the Central Plains, does Xie Chengyou really not understand what it means to receive expensive gifts from other girls?
It's a pity that the second girl of the Luo family... Wei Changting shook his head in his heart.
Such a cute girl, why does she have a bad brain and bad eyesight?
