Zhou Ying said in confusion: "Your Highness, if it was really the third prince who instigated it, he could have killed the princess directly. Why did he use poison?"
Chen Yang said: "If my mother's death is related to him, then his reputation will definitely plummet, and he will have a bad reputation for killing his siblings. And since he slowly poisoned my mother like this, no one knows about it, so naturally it will not be linked to him.
.”
Qian Susu, who was overjoyed just now, sighed: "Being born in an emperor's family may seem glorious, but it is surrounded by dangers."
She looked at Chen Yang and said: "Yang'er, now that you have returned to the royal capital, you will inevitably have to compete with other princes in the future. Once your father dies, our Prince Yang Mansion will have no foundation, no resources, and no power. I'm afraid we won't be able to help you."
you."
Chen Yang smiled and said: "Mother, I have my own abilities. I don't need your help. Don't worry, other princes and so on are no match for me."
Seeing how confident he was, Qian Susu laughed.
However, her heart was still full of worry.
After all, among the many princes nowadays, there are many outstanding geniuses.
Especially the eldest son of the third prince, he is a leader among people.
Not to mention the Daxia Dynasty, even in several surrounding countries, he is still a genius and a man of great influence, far from being comparable to Chen Yang now.
But at this moment, Qian Susu didn't want to undermine Chen Yang's confidence, so she didn't mention the situation of the other princes.
…
After a few days, Qian Susu gradually regained her color and became energetic.
She dressed up, took out her old clothes and put them on. She looked graceful and luxurious, and didn't look a bit downcast. She looked exactly like a princess.
During this period, Chen Yang practiced every day.
He is only a little bit away from the late stage of pill formation.
In addition, he refined the few remaining miraculous fruits into a miraculous pill with the help of other elixirs. After taking it, he could directly improve his realm.
However, he will not take Qixingdan now.
After all, he is about to advance to the later stage of pill formation, so taking it now is not worth it.
He planned to wait until the advanced stage of pill formation, then directly swallow the odd-shaped pill, and reach the peak of pill formation in one fell swoop.
These days, everything is quiet.
What makes Chen Yang feel strange is that the news of Prince Yang's return should still have considerable influence, but no one came to the door.
Of course, Wen Ya came by during this period and presented bird's nests.
Under Chen Yang's instructions, Zhou Ying quietly accepted the bird's nest, turned her back, and put it into the firewood to burn.
On this day, while eating, Qian Susu suddenly asked: "By the way, Yang'er, have you married a wife and had children in Wuxing?"
Chen Yang shook his head and said: "Not yet, but..."
Before he finished speaking, Qian Susu said happily: "It just so happens that if you didn't marry a wife, the marriage you had back then would be possible now."
"What marriage?"
Chen Yang said blankly.
Qian Susu said: "When your father was still alive, he promised you a marriage. You are the granddaughter of the president of the Rune Guild."
Chen Yang raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect his marriage to be so awesome.
The granddaughter of the president of the Rune Guild, this is the third generation.
With this status, only those who propose marriage can get through the threshold.
Qian Susu continued, "Hou Yushan, the president of the Royal Capital Rune Guild, is not only a low-level alchemist at the heaven level, but also a strong man in the Purple Mansion Realm. Moreover, he is a native of the Royal Capital, and his family, the Hou family, is the leader of the entire family.
The wealthy families of the Daxia Dynasty were very powerful."
"He only has one son and one granddaughter. If you get married to her granddaughter, the Hou family will definitely help you in the future. By then, our Yang Palace will rise even faster."
Hearing this, Chen Yang curled his lips and said, "Mother, listening to your words, why do you feel like I need to rely on a woman's family?"
Qian Susu smiled and said: "You and Hou Xiang have a long-standing engagement. If you get married to her, you will be one of our own. How can you rely on a woman's family?"
Chen Yang chuckled and said, "I don't care about anything else. I just want to know, is this Hou Xiang a beauty?"
"Not serious!"
Qian Susu rolled her eyes at Chen Yang with a smile, and continued: "However, this Hou Xiang is really a famous beauty in the capital. And her talent is not bad, and she has now reached the mortal realm."
"Mortal realm?" Chen Yang smiled and said, "So, I have high talent, good family background, and good looks, but others may not like me."
Qian Susu said: "You were married to her at the fingertips back then, but there was a contract. Besides, my son is not bad in appearance, has decent talent, and is a member of the royal family. In no way is he any worse than her."
"Come on, let's go to Hou's house today to talk about this marriage."
Qian Susu quickly found the engagement contract, pulled Chen Yang, stood up and walked out.
Chen Yang said speechlessly: "Mother, don't be anxious. Can't we discuss this matter in the long run?"
"You are my son, you have to listen to me."
Qian Susu looked unreasonable and pulled Chen Yang towards the center of the city.
Speaking of which, Qian Susu is still a princess, but she doesn't even have a carriage to travel, which is really a bit shabby.
Chen Yang looked at his mother who had regained her energy and looked happy. He thought that he had to buy Prince Yang's Mansion as soon as possible. That small place was not a problem.
Not long after, the two arrived at the Hou Mansion, but were stopped by servants.
Seeing Qian Susu's extraordinary temperament, the servant was quite respectful and asked: "Madam, I wonder what's the matter with you. I'll report it to the palace."
Qian Susu said politely: "I am Princess Qian of the Yang Palace. Please inform your master."
"Prince Yang's Mansion?!"
The servant was young, about sixteen or seventeen years old, but had never heard of Prince Yang's Mansion, and had a blank expression on his face.
The older servant next to him glanced at Qian Susu with a suspicious look on his face and said hurriedly: "It turns out to be Princess Qian. I'll go in and report her right away."
"Thank you very much."
Qian Susu said politely.
After a while, the servant came out and said to Qian Susu and Chen Yang: "You two, please follow me."
Following the servant, Chen Yang and Qian Susu entered a room.
"Wait a moment, everyone, the master of the house will be here shortly."
The servant bowed and exited the room.
Qian Susu said to Chen Yang: "Hou Yushan's main focus is on the Rune Guild now. The Hou family is headed by his eldest son Hou Boyi, who is your future father-in-law."
Chen Yang nodded and chatted with Qian Susu.
They thought that Hou Boyi would come soon.
But after waiting for half an hour, an hour...
At last half of the afternoon had passed, and not even a single person from the Hou family showed up, let alone Hou Boyi, not even a cup of tea was served.
There is something wrong with this situation.
At this moment, a voice of dissatisfaction came from outside the door: "They actually want to cling to our Hou family on the basis of their engagement. Their calculation is too good."
Hearing the sound, Chen Yang and Qian Susu's expressions suddenly changed.
