Your Highness, what do you think a father like this is for?"
"Maybe... maybe this is a misunderstanding? Miss Jiang, what man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? If everyone had one husband and one wife as Miss Jiang thinks, wouldn't the world be less worried?"
Bei Mingqi's words were addressed to Yun Yue, but they were alluding to the children of the emperor's other concubines.
"Although it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, aren't there some men who are committed to their relationship forever?" Yun Yue said with a smile:
"My daughter cannot prevent tragedy from happening, so she can only stay away from it. Just like King Xuan, although he is in the royal family, he is known as King Xiaoyao. Although a person cannot choose his birth, he can choose the path he wants to take. Your Highness, do you think so?"
Bei Mingqi was startled for a moment, then laughed and said, "Miss Jiang is absolutely right! Being able to live as carefree and carefree as Brother Xuan is not a bad thing. It's a pity that some people just don't understand."
After saying that, Bei Mingqi glanced at Chi Yan again.
"Brother, you are destined by fate and the proud son of God. Even if some people don't understand, what is destined by God will never change."
Seeing that Chi Yan had made his position clear, Beiming Qi smiled and said, "Who says it's not the case!" Just after he finished speaking, he changed the subject and asked, "Third brother, have you seen my two children in Jizhou these days? A bodyguard?"
"Guards?" Chi Yan raised his eyebrows and asked clearly unclearly: "The only people around the emperor who are familiar with my brother are Cao Guard and Yan Guard. I wonder which two the emperor wants to ask?"
"Brother, it was these two that I asked." Bei Mingqi looked at Chi Yan, his sharp eyes never missing the trace of discomfort on Chi Yan's face.
"Wei Cao and Wei Yan also went to Jizhou? Brother Huang, why didn't you tell me earlier so that Brother Chen could make arrangements for them?"
"You haven't seen them?" Bei Mingqi obviously didn't believe Chi Yan's words.
"What? Cao Huwei and Yan Huwei didn't come here specifically to see my brother, did they?"
Chi Yan threw the words back to Bei Mingqi, and then said: "I went to Jizhou this time, brother Chen... but found nothing."
Chi Yan lowered his voice deliberately so that only Bei Mingqi could hear the last sentence.
What he wanted to convey to Bei Mingqi was that he, Bei Mingxuan, was very sensible and knew that the canal was once under the supervision of the crown prince who was planning this matter, so he went to investigate with great fanfare this time, but in the end nothing was found. The prince has face, so there is no need for him to send two close guards to look for him.
Chi Yan's meaning was completely unrelated to what Bei Mingqi wanted to express. For a moment, Bei Mingqi couldn't find a topic to continue talking about.
Knowing that he would not get any response from Chi Yan, Beiming Qi could only change the topic.
"Lao San, you had a hard time going to Jizhou to investigate the case this time."
"Brother, what are you talking about? Compared with my eldest brother, who has many things to do every day, my younger brother is just doing my best for my father. How can I say it's hard work! And..."
Chi Yan glanced at Yun Yue, who was standing next to him with a look like "I don't know what you are talking about." He said with a pun and a smile: "My brother, I have gained a lot from my trip to Jizhou this time."
Bei Mingqi glanced at Yun Yue and smiled knowingly: "In that case, Brother Xuan should send Miss Jiang back home as soon as possible. The left prime minister is probably waiting impatiently."
Chi Yan responded: "Then I will send them to see the Prime Minister first.
