There is an inner lake in the garden. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are no lotus flowers on the lake. Even the lotus leaves have gradually lost their summer greenness and vitality, and look a bit sparse.
Xie Yan and Wei Changting were sitting in the pavilion by the lake playing chess when they suddenly heard a scream like a chicken cat in the distance. Wei Shizi's hand holding the chess piece couldn't help but tremble.
He raised his head and looked at Xie Yan in disbelief, "Did that girl from the Luo family really stay with you last night?"
Xie Yan raised his head and glanced at him expressionlessly, as if to say: What's the problem?
Wei Changting immediately put aside the unplayable chess game in front of him, leaned over and looked at Xie Yan and said: "Xie Yan, there is something wrong with you. You would actually keep that girl?"
"..." Xie Yan felt that something was wrong with the man in front of him.
Duan Duan was a young general who kept an eye on other people's marriages every day. Those who didn't know it thought Wei Changting was planning to change his career to a matchmaker.
Wei Changting stared at Xie Yan, trying to find any clues that were different, "Just forget it if you agree, Luo Yun actually agreed to keep his daughter in your house?
Xie Yan said: "The girl's condition cannot be determined yet and needs to be observed."
"Then why don't you send Doctor Xue to the Luo family?" Wei Changting said.
Xie Yan said lightly: "Do you think it's appropriate?"
"...That's right." Wei Changting immediately realized that the relationship between Xie Yan and Luo Yun was not good enough to send such a powerful miracle doctor to him casually.
Besides...hey, why would you send such a powerful miracle doctor to the Luo family?
Who in the Luo family is going to die? Evil diseases do not have a good reputation for unmarried girls.
You can't let Dr. Yuxiugu climb over the wall to enter and exit Luo's house every day, right? Don't look back. Xue Baichuan just shook his hand and cured people to death.
"If people know that the Luo family girl is here, you will be in big trouble." Wei Changting reminded.
Probably no one in the court wanted to see the Luo family and Xie Yan getting close.
Xie Yan didn't care and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, as long as you don't talk nonsense, no one will know." Even if they knew, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Wei Changting curled his lips and said, "And your cheap son. Speaking of which, Luo Yun didn't kill him last night. I was a little surprised."
"Luo Yun is not an impulsive person." Xie Yan said.
Luo Yun was born in the grassroots and has been fighting for half his life. He has won the trust of two generations of emperors. He is in charge of the most elite Xuanjia Army in Dasheng. He will never be an impulsive person.
Wei Changting also agreed, but just reminded, "My lord, you'd better break away from your cheap son as soon as possible, lest he be tortured to death and implicate you one day."
The reason why Luo Yun let Xie Chengyou go is because he didn't give Xie Yan face. Even if everyone knew that Xie Chengyou was not Xie Yan's biological son, Xie Yan didn't like this cheap son. But as long as Xie Chengyou is in Xie Yan's name, he is Xie Yan's son.
If an outsider hurts Xie Chengyou, it will be a slap in the face of Xie Yan and the Regent's Palace.
Xie Yan glanced at him indifferently and said nothing, but Wei Changting became a little anxious.
"I'm serious! Not only the capital, but also the Zhenguo Army will never recognize Xie Chengyou!" Wei Changting said solemnly.
Why is he anxious about Xie Yan's marriage? Isn't he worried that the Prince of Chu's palace will have no heirs? This is not Xie Yan's problem alone.
Xie Yan said: "Why are you so anxious? Why did the old man have to give Xie Chengyou to me back then?"
Wei Changting curled his lips and said with some disdain: "Don't you just hope that you will die on the battlefield one day so that his precious grandson can inherit the throne of King Chu?"
If someone else's father's son is in his twenties and has not yet gotten married, even if there is no rush to find a wife and children for the son, at least a few concubines will have to be sent there.
But King Mu never cared about this. Instead, he gave Xie Yan a cheap son.
The old man didn't want Xie Yan to have a child of his own at all.
Being a father is enough for you.
"I'm not dead yet." Xie Yan said.
"so?"
Xie Yan slowly dropped a black stone on the chessboard and said, "So, it's their turn to be anxious now."
"They..." Wei Changting frowned, "You're not talking about Prince Mu's Mansion, are you?"
If that old immortal King Mu had this ability, he would not spend his whole life holding on to the title given to him by Emperor Gaozu and doing nothing.
I don’t know who gave him this dirty idea.
Xie Yan said: "I asked people to investigate what happened with Xie Chengyou at the Luo family a few days ago. It was not done by Xie Chengyou, nor was it done by anyone from Prince Mu's Palace. Who do you think...?"
Wei Changting was silent for a long time, then slowly took a breath and whispered: "There is someone behind Xie Chengyou, and he was taken advantage of. If... what happened that day really happened, or... Luo Yun would hate Prince Mu's Mansion from now on.
and the regent, both sides will fight to the death. Either... Luo Yun will be forced to accept Xie Chengyou and help this son-in-law... fight for your title."
Xie Chengyou will not wait quietly to become the heir apparent of the King of Chu, provide for Xie Yan until his death, and then inherit the throne of the King of Chu.
So, when the time comes, will Luo Yun help Xie Yan, an unrelated outsider, or will he help his only son-in-law?
At that time, Xie Yan was the enemy of the Luo family.
"Someone wants to drive a wedge between the Zhenguo Army and the Xuanjia Army. It seems that even if you don't deal with the outside world, some people are still worried." Wei Changting said thoughtfully: "I just don't know who this person is."
"Hidden very deep." Xie Yan said, "But after all, it's only those people."
Wei Changting nodded. In the past few years, they had been at the border. Even if they paid some attention to the court, they could not compare to those old foxes who had been operating in the imperial city.
"I'm going to check, let's start with Xie Chengyou. By the way, where is Xie Chengyou now?"
Xie Yan said: "I was kicked by Luo Yun and suffered internal injuries. I was lying on the bed and couldn't get up."
"..." Prince Wei was silent for a rare moment, and then asked: "He has been injured twice in the past three days. I heard that he plans to participate in the Spring Festival next year. Is it really okay?"
Emperor Gaozu was quite stingy towards the children of powerful families. There were only two ways to become an official, which was to join the army or take the imperial examination.
For a royal child like Xie Chengyou, let alone the fact that he is not the prince of Chu, even if he does become the prince of Chu, if he does not earn military merit or take the imperial examination and become an official in the court, he will just be a prince of the royal family who receives the prince's salary.
That's all.
The only preferential treatment is probably that the eldest son of an official of third rank or above can enter the Imperial Academy to study without taking the examination.
Xie Chengyou is currently studying at the Imperial College, but he does not use the title of Prince Regent. He got in by himself.
Since he is known as the first of the seven shows in the imperial city, he still needs to have some skills.
Xie Yan said: "If he continues like this, you should ask him if he can survive until spring."
Wei Changting disagreed, "That's something his grandfather and biological father need to worry about. I'm not his father."
Xie Yan said coldly: "Since I know it has nothing to do with you, just do the right thing."
"Have all the people Bai Jingrong planted in Shangyong been caught? Is there any unified opinion between the DPRK and China on how to deal with the prisoners of war? There are also Gaoyu people. Have we finished talking about the alliance?"
Wei Changting was hit hard and couldn't help but lean back, "I'm just a third-grade general, why should I care about these things? Isn't this a matter for you, the regent?"
Xie Yan said calmly: "I want to recover from my injuries."
Wei Changting sneered, "You know you're injured and you attack someone. Speaking of which...that little girl from the Luo family is really powerful when she's crazy. She can actually hurt you? I think her moves are pretty good. You
Tell me if we can..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Yan said coldly: "If you want to die, go ahead and try. If you are lucky enough not to die, Luo Yun can give you a ride."
"..." Wei Changting silently touched the bridge of his nose and stopped talking.
Thank you, that doesn't have to be the case.
Wei Changting stood up and was about to leave. He glanced at Xie Yan's collar, which was pulled slightly higher today, and smiled maliciously, "Guess, the father and son of the Luo family saw the teeth marks on your neck last night.
No?"
"..."
Whoosh!
A chess piece was caught in the strong wind and shot toward the door in front of Wei Changting. Wei Changting turned slightly sideways to let it pass.
The chess piece passed by Wei Changting and was nailed into the pillar behind him, but Wei Changting had already laughed and rushed out of the pavilion and ran away.
The miracle doctor's medicinal wine was indeed very effective. After Fengjian applied the medicine and massaged it for a while, Luo Junyao clearly felt that the pain in his body had subsided a lot at noon.
You know, judging from her past life experience, it would take at least two or three days to recover from this level of consumption, no matter how fast it was.
Although her father and eldest brother both said that she should stay at the Prince Regent's Mansion for a few days with peace of mind, but tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it would not be good for her to stay at someone else's house after all.
After lunch, Luo Junyao did not continue to lie on the bed, and Fengjian accompanied him around the garden.
Jingyuan is Xie Yan's residence. As the regent, the courtyard area where he lives alone is naturally very large. Moreover, Xie Yan likes to be quiet, so there are not many people waiting on him in the garden.
Except for Xie Yan himself, even if King Mu came in person, he would have to be informed before he could come in. Therefore, no outsiders would know that Luo Junyao lived here.
As for Xie Chengyou, who had experienced the whole thing yesterday, he felt guilty because he had caused a big disaster. What's more, he thought Luo Yun had brought Luo Junyao back last night.
Fengjian said that as long as it is within the garden, the girl can move around freely without being restricted.
Of course, Luo Junyao would not really wander around in other people's homes, and she was feeling unwell now, so she just walked around in the garden and basked in the sun.
There is actually not much to see in the garden of Jingyuan. There is also a small garden in Nuanxinyuan, which is less than a quarter of the size of Jingyuan. Now in mid-August, all kinds of flowers in the small garden are still in full bloom.
Although the colorful scenery seems a bit less artistic than the Jingyuan Garden, Luo Junyao thought it was nice to be lively and lively.
Xie Yan's garden was completely different from hers. It was mostly filled with shrubs, trees or foliage plants. As Luo Junyao walked along, he saw that the most beautiful flower was a silver osmanthus tree.
"Is your Chu Prince's Mansion so quiet?" Luo Junyao sat at the foot of the rockery, leaning against the rockery and squinting his eyes slightly to watch the sun.
Fengjian knew that she was feeling unwell, so he quickly put a soft cushion he brought with him behind her back, and then said with a smile: "It's quite quiet, but Jingyuan is extra quiet. The prince is recovering from his injuries and doesn't like too many people."
Luo Junyao was startled, remembering that it had been less than half a month since Xie Yan was seriously injured last time.
Then she remembered that she and Xie Yan seemed to have had a fight last night. Although she didn't know the specific situation, based on her previous experience, the fight should have been quite severe.
Luo Junyao felt a little apologetic and asked, "Is the regent...'s injury okay?"
Fengjian smiled and said, "Don't worry, girl. With Divine Doctor Xue here, the prince will be fine."
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "That's good."
The two were quiet for a while, looking at each other in confusion.
It's just... quite boring.
Luo Junyao thought that she never wanted to come to the Regent's Mansion again.
"Should I go and thank the prince for saving me?"
Fengjian smiled and said: "Miss, do you want to see the prince? I will go and report to the prince right now."
"I..." Before Luo Junyao could finish his words, Fengjian had already turned around and ran away.
After a long silence, Luo Junyao withdrew his hand helplessly, "I just wanted to ask, are the people in the Regent's Palace...all so enthusiastic?"
