In Princess Changling's mansion, Xie Yan was sitting in the flower hall drinking tea with an indifferent expression.
Princess Changling walked back and forth anxiously in the hall, looking outside from time to time.
Xie Yan put down the tea cup and looked at her, "Now you know you are anxious? If you had dealt with Qin Qian before, how would Ah Ning have encountered what happened today?"
Princess Changling walked to the side and sat down, and asked with some disappointment: "Zhifei, do you hate Princess Mu?"
Xie Yan was silent, and Princess Changling smiled bitterly and said: "Look, even you can't cut off love and hate? Even if you raise a dog for almost twenty years, it still has feelings. What's more... he is, after all,
Ning'er and Kang'er's biological father, I don't want my children to know the embarrassing ending of their parents' marriage. I originally thought that I would let my mother live the rest of her life in peace and comfort, and don't worry about my unfilial daughter. No matter what
Whether it's a divorce or the loss of a husband, it's not a good thing after all."
Xie Yan said: "Do you think Qin Qian would be willing to give up his position as consort if he had another woman? Then why didn't he tell you directly?"
Qin Qian indeed had second thoughts. This does not mean that he was willing to give up his position as consort, but he was divorced or divorced by Princess Changling.
Because of this, even if the royal family didn't trouble him, Qin Qian's career would basically be over.
Da Sheng did not restrict the consort's career. If Qin Qian felt that his talents were limited because he married a princess, he was simply overthinking it.
The concubine of Princess Changzhao, the concubine of Princess Changling, was a general, and the husband-in-law of the late Princess Changshu was a few years younger than Qin Qian. He also came from the imperial examination and is now an official with the title of General Secretary of General Affairs, with a third rank.
On the contrary, Qin Qian, the consort of the eldest princess of Dasheng, has been wandering around in a sinecure of the fourth rank for so many years.
It can only be said that when Emperor Gaozu and the Empress Dowager were choosing their consort, they thought too much about Princess Changling and instead neglected some other things.
If Qin Qian could deceive the princess for a lifetime, then the marriage would be considered a success. Unfortunately... less than twenty years later, the false appearance had already fallen away.
Once Princess Changling and Qin Qian separated, Qin Qian's status would plummet without his status as the eldest princess's consort, and he would become a mediocre member of the Shangyong Imperial City.
I can't even stay in Shangyong.
Therefore, he was anxious to find a solution and even went to Qin Ning to ask for help.
Princess Changling closed her eyes and said solemnly: "No matter what, Qin Qian cannot die today!"
If something happens to Qin Qian now, A Ning might...
Xie Yan said: "Don't worry, nothing will happen to Aning in the imperial city."
"Your Majesty, Princess."
The manager of the palace came in from outside and said respectfully: "Someone came from General Luo's palace and said that the princess has gone to find Miss Luo. Please don't worry, princess. The Luo family will send the princess back later."
Hearing this, Princess Changling breathed a sigh of relief. She turned away from the manager and looked at Xie Yan and said, "When did Ah Ning have such a good relationship with the girl from the Luo family? I thought she would go to the third sister's house, but she actually went to Luo's house."
Home."
Xie Yan did not answer, but stood up and said: "Paper can't contain the fire. Tell your aunt the truth about Qin Qian's matter. My aunt has experienced so many things in her life, so this matter should not be ignored. Just deal with it how you want."
Princess Changling frowned and said, "No, if my mother asks about it later, tell her that you sent Qin Qian to leave the capital on official business."
Princess Changling wanted to hide the truth from the Empress Dowager, not because she felt too embarrassed to tell her, or because she still had feelings for her consort.
At that time, Qin Qian was favored by the Empress Dowager and Emperor Gaozu at first glance, which was also a sign of love for their daughter.
He neither wants his daughter to marry a proud and arrogant young man with a large and complicated family, nor does he want his daughter to marry a general who has made great achievements in war. The couple spends less time together and spend more time apart. A young man like Qin Qian, who is handsome, talented and has a simple family, is particularly challenging.
Already.
In the past ten years of life, Princess Changling has indeed lived a very happy life, and she deeply appreciates the painstaking efforts of her parents back then.
Her two concubines, Chang Zhao's concubine, were away fighting all the year round. Although they did not have concubines, they still had sex with each other. The couple rarely saw each other a few times a year.
Not to mention Chang Shu, the relationship between the couple was mediocre, and there were a lot of things at home. Chang Shu had been in poor health since she had two children, and she passed away at the age of twenty-seven.
In comparison, who doesn’t think Princess Changling has a good life?
But now that she is in this situation, she doesn't think so, but her mother will definitely regret that she misjudged the person.
She didn't want to cause trouble to her mother at this time.
Xie Yan put his hands behind his hands and said, "Do you think you can hide it if you don't tell it? There is no airtight wall in the world. It will be too late until others tell you."
Princess Changling rubbed her temples a little tiredly and said, "I understand, I want to think about how to tell my mother."
Xie Yan seemed to have remembered something and asked, "What are you going to do with Qin Qian and that woman?"
A chill flashed across Princess Changling's elegant and beautiful face, and she said in a cold voice: "Kang'er is still young, so there is no need to worry about it. Since A Ning already knows, he is useless. For the sake of Kang'er and A Ning,
, I will spare his life. But...I don’t want to see him in Shangyong from now on."
Xie Yan pondered for a moment, nodded and walked out, "I understand, I'll take care of this."
Princess Changling followed him and walked out, saying calmly: "Since he is in love with that Qin Niang, let them stay together for the rest of their lives and never be separated."
"Princess Qi, the prince-in-law is awake and is clamoring to see the princess and the piano girl..." A steward came over and reported.
Princess Changling looked indifferent, "What's wrong with Qin Niang?"
The steward said: "Qin Niang was crying, saying, saying..."
"say what!"
The steward's face turned pale and he whispered: "Qin Niang said that she didn't feel sorry for the princess, it was the princess who robbed her husband. It was... it was the princess who felt sorry for her!"
"Okay!" Princess Changling took a deep breath and sneered: "It's not easy for her to finally speak her mind after enduring these days. I want to see how I feel sorry for her.
"
After saying that, he turned back to Xie Yan and said, "Zhifei, you go back first. Don't worry, I will finish this matter today and then go into the palace to see my mother."
Xie Yan pondered for a moment, raised his hand and said, "Here comes someone."
"Your Majesty." A shadow passed by, and the shadow knelt on one knee in front of Xie Yan.
Xie Yan said: "Except for Princess Anyang, from now on, no one is allowed in or out of the palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Duoying stood up and left quickly.
Princess Changling was a little confused, "Zhifei?"
Xie Yan did not answer and said calmly: "I will accompany you to see Qin Qian."
Princess Changling looked at the expressionless man in front of her, and her originally cold heart instantly warmed up.
The miracle doctor concluded that the mother's life was not long, her daughter had not yet reached puberty, and her son was still childish. Princess Changling was under great pressure.
When something like this happened, she could only hold on by herself. Now looking at her cousin's cold yet extremely reliable and resolute handsome face in front of her, Princess Changling finally felt that she was not so lonely and helpless.
Xie Yan didn't want to hear her feelings and had already walked towards the inner courtyard ahead of her.
In the bedroom, Qin Qian was lying on the bed with blood-soaked gauze on his forehead, and his face looked a little pale.
The earlier bump was really hard, and he still felt a little dizzy and wanted to vomit.
He was holding the edge of the quilt tightly with one hand, and his brows were furrowed. It was obvious that he was thinking about something that made him feel uneasy and troubled.
"Why hasn't the princess come yet?" Qin Qian couldn't help but ask after not hearing any sound for a while.
The room was quiet, with two maids and two guards standing not far away. But these four people lowered their heads and ignored him, as if there was a mesmerizing flower blooming on the floor under their feet.
Seeing their appearance, Qin Qian secretly gritted his teeth.
Even though he has lived in this mansion for more than ten years, in the eyes of these people, the only owner of the princess mansion will always be the woman Xie Xianyu!
Normally the two of them would just settle down without any conflicts, but now these people dare not take him seriously!
"What are you doing?! Let me go...Qianlang, wuwu...Qianlang..."
Qin Niang's panicked voice came from outside the door. Qin Qian struggled to sit up and said angrily to the people in the room, "What do you want to do?! What are you going to do to her!"
A maid raised her head, with a calm expression and a hint of contempt, "Don't worry, Prince Consort, since His Highness didn't kill that bitch before, he won't do it now. The expression on the Prince Consort's face seems to mean that His Highness is ruthless.
."
They are not here to take care of the prince-in-law, but to take precautions in case he accidentally dies, so that they can deal with it as soon as possible.
His Royal Highness the Regent has said that the reputation of patricide cannot fall on their princess.
Qin Qian's expression changed, he gritted his teeth and listened to the piano girl's call outside, and said nothing more.
He and Xie Xianyu have been married for more than ten years. Xie Xianyu has always been a gentle and virtuous wife. He really didn't expect that she would be so cruel when she fell out.
After that day, although Xie Xianyu did not attack them on the spot, he had Qin Niang locked up.
Not only that, Xie Xianyu's people followed him wherever he went, and he couldn't even say a word to anyone.
His official position was a sinecure, and it didn't matter whether he went to the Yamen or not. Xie Xianyu simply asked someone to go to the Yamen to ask for leave for him. Except for the public occasions that he had to attend, he couldn't even leave the house.
Xie Xianyu also said that as long as he cooperates obediently, she will make peace with him when the time comes, and let him and Qin Niang sleep together for the sake of Kang'er and A Ning.
During this period, no matter how much he kept low and begged her to change his mind, the woman never softened.
He interceded with Aning and Kang'er, and the woman threatened him with Qin Niang and the child in her belly.
She also said that if outsiders knew even a little bit of information without her permission, she would change the surnames of Kang'er and Aning, abort the child in Qin Niang's belly, and then destroy his lifeblood.
That was the first time Qin Qian heard Xie Xianyu utter such vulgar words, but he was really frightened.
He knew that Xie Xianyu was not angry with him.
But if he was asked to choose to divorce Xie Xianyu, he would definitely not want to.
He had been holding on to Xie Xianyu for all these years, but in the end he had failed to get anything out of a bamboo basket. He was not willing to accept it!
"Where's the princess?! I want to see the princess!" Qin Qian struggled to sit up, the injury on his head making him feel dizzy.
Princess Changling's voice came from outside the door, "I'm here. If you have anything to say, you might as well come out and talk slowly with your sweetheart."
