After Mr. Gu left angrily, Gu Qingyan smiled sadly.
There is no need for his grandfather to write a letter to Nanyang himself. An Huajin is afraid that sooner or later, he will cut off this involvement with him.
He can't live without the Gu family, how long can she be reluctant to leave him?
Qing Mo came to the bed with a medicine bowl and said, "Sir, drink the medicine!"
Gu Qingyan glanced at it with disgust, reached out to take it, raised her neck and poured a large bowl of soup into her mouth.
The medicine is bitter and enters the heart and lungs.
Gu Qingyan drank so hard that he coughed and felt a tearing pain in his heart.
Qing Mo brought a cup of water, stopped talking for a moment, and whispered, "Sir, what did His Highness say? To make you do this?"
Gu Qingyan was silent, her eyes dim.
Qing Mo shut up and didn't dare to ask again.
An Yining poked her little head in from the door and said cautiously, "Uncle, is my cousin gone?"
"Gone."
An Yining hesitated, "Did you fight?"
Children are generally most afraid of fights between adults.
"No."
An Yining was confused, "Uncle, you don't look good."
Gu Qingyan smiled and said, "I've already taken the medicine. You should go to bed early!"
An Yining nodded and went obediently.
Qing Mo found the words at this time and lowered his voice, "The little princess entrusted Mr. Ning to you because she trusts you. She has not told Mr. Ning to leave so far. Don't think too much about it."
Gu Qingyan raised his eyes, "Even if she leaves me, she will still let me be Ning'er's teacher. That person of hers..."
He paused, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.
Qing Mo could only say, "It's late at night, sir, please rest! If you continue to stay like this, your body will really collapse."
Gu Qingyan nodded, closed his eyes, Qing Mo lowered the curtains, turned off the lights, and walked out quietly.
Chu Yan braved the wind and snow to go in and out of Gu's house without disturbing anyone, but when he returned to the Seventh Prince's Mansion, he still alarmed Chu Chen who lived in the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
Chu Chen was sitting on the wall of the Seventh Prince's Mansion. The umbrella he held in his hand was blown askew by the wind and snow. He crossed his legs and carried a pot of strong wine in his hand. Even in the wind and snow, he was wearing a fox fur coat.
Cloak, drinking strong wine, not too cold, looks like he has been waiting for a while.
Seeing Chu Yan coming back, Chu Chen jumped off the wall and immediately came up to him, "Chu Yan, you're not cool. Where have you been? Take me with you. I've been loyal to you for so long, don't look at it.
Missing?"
Chu Yan stopped. He was so angry that Gu Qingyan vomited blood. He was not feeling well either. He walked all the way back from Gu's house without even riding in a carriage. With the cold air in the wind and snow, he raised his eyes and looked at Chu Chen and said to him
Asked, "Chu Chen, what do you want?"
Chu Chen was startled.
Chu Yan asked again, "What are you asking for? Is it yourself? Or is it the Palace of Shan Qin?"
Chu Chen couldn't see clearly the expression on Yan's face. His face was shrouded under the umbrella. In the wind and snow, he briefly thought about it and chose one of the answers, "Be kind to Prince Qin's Mansion!"
Chu Yan looked at him, "Why?"
Chu Chen shook the jug, but there was no more wine in it. He simply threw it in a parabola, and the jug smashed into the snow pile at the base of the wall, disappearing. He said casually, "I used to like Xiao An'er.
I want to marry her, but she doesn’t like me. I want to go to Nanyang to join the army, but the princes and grandchildren of the clan went to Nanyang, which involves military power. It is easy to be suspected of ulterior motives, rebellion, etc. Therefore, the person I like is the same as me.
If you can't do anything, then you might as well be a filial grandson and become the person my grandfather wanted me to be. He worked hard all his life, didn't he just want to be good at the Qin Palace and pass on the prosperity of his descendants from generation to generation? So
, I beg for this."
Chu Yan nodded, "In that case, you don't have to show your loyalty to me, it's useless."
Chu Chen was stunned, his eyes widened, and he took two steps closer to Chu Yan, "What do you mean?"
This time, he saw the expression on his face clearly. When he saw it, he took a breath of cold air. Chu Yan's face was ice cold and clearer than the wind and snow. In the past, he always had an expressionless face.
Yes, this time, he was like a crystal clear mirror, without even a trace of emotion.
The wind and snow blew, causing the corners of his sleeves and robe to dance with the wind, but not even a trace of hair fell on his body or face.
"You..." Chu Chen looked at him for a long time, then twitched the corner of his mouth, "Chu Yan, what's wrong with you? Why do you say that?"
Chu Yan looked at him and said in a calm tone, "What I just said is what you think it means. I will only say it once. If you are asking for the Shanqin Palace, you should get closer to my eldest brother."
Chu Yan said nothing and walked into the house holding an umbrella.
Chu Chen: "..."
How close are you to the eldest prince? How close are you to Xiang?
Chu Chen could barely hold the umbrella in his hand, and watched in disbelief as Chu Yan's figure entered the mansion and disappeared step by step into the deep courtyard.
He doesn’t want a big position?
Why?
He begged the Prince of Qin's palace, so what was he asking for? What did he want to do if he didn't want a big position? How could Chu Yan not want a big position?
What he has shown all along is that he does not want the position.
He is the legitimate son of the queen, and his status is justified. His maternal grandfather's family has millions of military power, and now Anhuajin is the head of Nanyang's family. He has a very strong backbone. Now all the princes are prostrate at his feet and have no ability to compete with him.
, he exchanged his merits for the eldest prince, and everyone in the government and the public praised him, saying that he had brotherly loyalty and his righteousness was as strong as the sky. Officials in the government could see the situation clearly, and almost all supported him with overwhelming support.
Why doesn't he want a big position? That's the supreme position just one step away. His brothers are all fighting for it. They even dream of it, but they can't get it.
Chu Chen didn't quite understand, so he simply threw away his umbrella, quickly chased after him, got under Chu Yan's umbrella, grabbed his sleeve, and asked him, "Why?"
Chu Yan stopped and said without emotion, "Big brother is more suitable for me."
"Not necessarily." Chu Chen shook his head, "This must not be your reason. Although the eldest prince is also good at both civil and military affairs, you are more suitable for him now than the eldest prince. The government and the public have praised you, and not just any prince can do it.
The eldest prince has been imprisoned for three years, and now there are almost no people supporting him. He has no foundation."
"He has it, he has me."
Chu Chen choked and stared at Chu Yan, "Why?"
Isn’t it bad to have a great position? Isn’t it bad to be the king of a country? Isn’t it bad for everyone to kneel on the ground and worship him?
"If you insist on asking for an answer, it's because I'm tired of it!" Chu Yan's eyes were pale and colorless. "I don't want to stay in the capital anymore, let alone live in the cage-like palace."
Chu Chen took a breath and seemed to have some realization, "Where do you want to go? Nanyang?"
"Well, Nanyang."
Chu Chen breathed lightly, "When did you have this idea? When did you make this decision?" After a pause, he suddenly said, "No wonder you want to use your merits in exchange for the eldest prince to come out, and this is the plan? Big
Will the prince agree? I don’t think he has any intention of becoming a powerful person."
"It happened a long time ago, but the real decision was made in Wufeng Mountain. My fourth brother, fifth brother, eighth brother, and my father all sent people to kill me. They are my father and brothers, but they are comparable to enemies.
, I wish I could die soon." When Chu Yan mentioned those two days at Wufeng Mountain, there was no longer any anger, only endless indifference, "He doesn't agree now, I will slowly make him agree."
Chu Chen was speechless for a moment, but after a moment, he said dryly, "Didn't you say that one general can make a thousand bones wither? Why should you let yourself down because of them? Isn't this always the case for royal fathers, sons, and brothers? Take history as a guide, there are countless
."
Chu Yan smiled faintly, "You also said that was history, not me."
Chu Chen shut up.
Chu Yan said, "I will go to court tomorrow and ask for permission to let my eldest brother join the court. Chu Chen, since you want the Nanyang Palace, then you should get close and support your eldest brother!"
Chu Yan paused, and then added, "Don't get too close, or big brother will notice you."
Chu Chen: "..."
Hey, why does he feel that the throne is like a rotten egg? Chu Yan is trying every possible way to get rid of it?
He could only nod, "Since you have made up your mind, I have nothing more to say. I would also like to go to Nanyang, but unfortunately, there is no place for me in Nanyang."
Chu Yan was noncommittal.
Chu Chen let go of Chu Yan's sleeve and asked, "Do you want to drink?"
"I don't want to." Chu Yan turned and left.
Chu Chen: "..."
Hey, let’s just say this person is boring! Why don’t you want to drink for such a big deal?
By the way, he hasn't asked him yet, where did he go today? Forget it, I guess he won't tell him if I ask him. What Chu Yan wants to say is concise and to the point, and what he doesn't want to say, he can't even ask.
Chu Chen held an umbrella and walked back slowly, digesting the shocking news Chu Yan gave him. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized that Chu Yan didn't want to stay in the capital anymore. He didn't want a big position, and it didn't seem that exciting.
Unexpectedly, he has never shown any enthusiasm or madness for the throne. Although he is not favored, it is because of his status as the legitimate son that he has been taught by His Majesty the most. Therefore, it is probably because he has seen too much that he shows what he said.
