I thought that Prince An and his wife would leave Beijing just like that, but little did they know that at night, when Yuan Qingling and his wife had gone to bed, they heard that Prince An was coming.
Yuan Qing Ling was very surprised. She was already almost in her prime now. Hasn't King An left yet?
Princess An had already left early in the morning.
"Did something happen?"
Yuan Qing Lingdao.
Yu Wenhao put on his clothes and said, "I'll go out to see him. You can go to sleep."
"good!"
Yuan Qing Ling responded.
Xu Yi had already gone back to sleep, so Yu Wenhao went out with a lantern. The concierge had already invited An Wang to come in.
King An did not come alone, but also brought an entourage. Yu Wenhao had never seen this entourage before, and he looked very unfamiliar. He stood beside King An with a respectful attitude, but Yu Wenhao felt that he was not simple.
He is a master, you can hear it from his breathing, even if it is hidden deeply.
King An looked a little dull. He was sitting on the chair, his lips were trembling slightly, he was sitting with his back straight and his hands on the armrests, looking majestic. But Yu Wenhao could tell at a glance that something was wrong with him.
"Didn't Fourth Brother leave Beijing today?"
After Yu Wenhao entered, he asked first.
King An looked at him, and his eyes flickered several times, but his voice was very cold when he said, "Yu Wenhao, you really want me to leave, don't you?"
Yu Wenhao smiled and said, "Whether you leave or not has no effect on me at all."
"I came here specifically to tell you tonight that I will not leave. Not only will I not leave, I will also fight with you."
An Wang said coldly.
Yu Wenhao looked at him, suspicion flashed in his eyes, "Fighting?
Fighting for what?
The position of prince?
I am already a prince."
"I'm just afraid I won't be able to sit still."
King An hummed, staring at him with fire-like eyes, "Do you still remember what I said to you when you first went to the battlefield that day?"
Yu Wenhao didn't remember that he was very nervous when he went to the battlefield for the first time that day. Many people talked to him, but they were all words of encouragement, and they were similar. He didn't remember what he said.
King An said coldly: "I said that you are a waste, you are a coward, and you are a loser. Today, even though you are the prince, I still think of you that way." He stood up and stared at you.
Looking at Yu Wenhao, he said every word: "You are a waste, you are a coward, you are a loser."
Yu Wenhao stared at him for a while, and his eyes became angry, "Really?
But today, who is the loser?
Don't you have any idea?
Do you really think you can gain fame just by giving away medicine?
Win the hearts and minds of the people?"
"At least, in the hearts of the people right now, I am more suitable to be the prince than you."
An Wang said coldly.
Yu Wenhao laughed, his expression full of contempt, "Okay, then go ahead and do the hard work."
King An stood up suddenly, "Just wait!"
After saying that, he shouted to his entourage, "Let's go!"
The entourage lowered his eyebrows and followed him out. Yu Wenhao stared at his footsteps and saw that although he tried his best to hide it, he could still tell from the light steps and the heels that barely raised dust that this person was not only a concubine.
A master of martial arts is also a master of Qinggong.
He pondered for a moment, then called someone in, "Pat Xu Yi awake and tell him to come over immediately."
Xu Yi had just laid down, and when he heard the prince calling him, he jumped up from the bed, quickly dressed and went out.
Coming to the main hall, Yu Wenhao asked: "Do you still remember that when I and I went on the first expedition and ordered troops on the battlefield, the fourth child pointed at a general and scolded him as a waste and a coward? Do you remember this?
"
Xu Yi thought for a while, "It seems that this is true. The general said something at that time. I can't remember exactly what he said. The general meaning is that there is a huge disparity in military strength between us and Bei Mo, and we are afraid of losing to Bei Mo...
…That’s probably it?
At that time, the general was drunk the night before. He said these words before setting off, which shook the morale of the army. King An was furious and ordered him to be beaten with thirty military sticks on the spot and expelled."
Yu Wenhao also probably remembered, "There is such a thing. At that time, the fourth child had already been on several battlefields and had achieved several military exploits. He had just been given the orb and was given the title of Prince of the Orb. He was young.
He was full of energy and had military success on his side, so he bypassed the marshal and dealt with the general personally."
Xu nodded, "That's right, Master, why are you suddenly talking about what happened several years ago?"
"Do you still remember the general's name?"
Yu Wenhao asked.
Xu Yi shook his head, "I don't remember. We had never contacted those people at that time, or asked General Reckless. General Reckless should know."
"Go and invite him."
Yu Wenhao said.
"It's so late, why don't we invite you tomorrow?"
Yu Wenhao shook his head, "No, please come right away."
Xu Yi expected that the matter must be very urgent, so he turned around and left without asking.
Yu Wenhao returned to Xiaoyue Pavilion and told Yuan Qingling that if she knew that the fourth child was coming, she would definitely think too much and not want to sleep.
Sure enough, when she returned to the room, Yuan Qingling got up and read under the lamp. When she saw him coming back, she put down her book and walked forward quickly, asking: "What brings him here?"
Why didn't he leave?"
Yu Wenhao said: "I'm here to say a few harsh words, but I guess you want to convey some message to me. You said you went to Prince An's Mansion today, and the fourth sister-in-law has already left with Sister An, right?"
"Yes, I asked the concierge, and the concierge said that the housekeeper took their mother and daughter and left first."
Yuan Qing Lingdao.
"Who is the butler?
You've been to Prince An's Mansion several times in recent days, and you should have seen him, right?"
Yuan Qing Ling said: "The butler was arranged by the imperial concubine, so there should be no problem."
She looked at Yu Wenhao with some worry, "Did something happen to their mother and daughter?"
Yu Wenhao shook his head, "I don't know yet. The fourth child is a little strange tonight. I have to think about what he said. I originally thought that he might not be able to leave, but he appeared in the palace late at night and said
He made a lot of strange words, which was really hard for me to understand."
He pulled Yuan Qingling to sit down, "Don't worry, this may not be what we think."
Yuan Qingling calmed down and asked: "Why do you think they can't leave?"
Yu Wenhao explained: "Hong Lie spent so much money to buy medicine and donated it in his name to make him a wise man. How could he let him walk away?"
Yuan Qingling's heart suddenly tightened, "Could it be that Princess An and Sister were controlled by them?"
Yu Wenhao frowned, "It's possible, Lao Si knows it, but he is now controlled by others. The people who come with him tonight are probably Hong Lie's people, and they want to make Lao Si into their puppet, so
In the early stage, they spared no effort to gain a reputation as a virtuous person, and made the fourth child my enemy. In this way, I would be deeply involved in the fight for the legitimate son, and I would care about one thing at the expense of the other. This is my initial estimate."
Yuan Qingling felt a little relieved. If this was really the case, and Lao Wu could think of this step, he would definitely be able to deal with it.
Sure enough, I heard Lao Wu say: "Don't worry about this, I have sense and know how to handle it."
