"Fourteen is not too young anymore. We can get married next year." Wu Zechen looked a little unnatural. Although he knew that he was even jealous of a young boy, which seemed a bit excessive, he would still endure it. I can’t help but think about that.
After all, in his eyes, his own princess is the best, so naturally she is easily missed by others.
Xia Luotong looked at Wu Zechen's insistent expression of jealousy and couldn't help but said with a smile: "After all, we share the same hardships, so the relationship will naturally be unusual, not to mention that Ah Yan even blocked a knife for me."
By the way, she told Wu Zechen what happened just now. Only then did Wu Zechen realize that something like this had happened just now. He was really frightened. If that knife had hit Xia Luotong's body, he simply couldn't imagine it.
Subconsciously holding Xia Luotong in his arms a little tighter, Wu Zechen suddenly felt a little grateful to Wu Fengyan. Although he would have done the same thing if he was present at that time, it was Wu Fengyan who was present at that time. If Wu Fengyan had not sacrificed himself Blocking the knife, the injured one must be Xia Luotong. With Xia Luotong's small body...
"I have to thank him very much." Wu Zechen said immediately.
"I'm afraid he won't pay attention to you." Xia Luotong pursed his lips and snickered. After all, Wu Feng Yanxu didn't even recognize Wu Zechen as his cousin. He didn't even want to call her the emperor's sister-in-law, but only called her sister. .
"It doesn't matter, he has his own time to talk to me." Wu Zechen played with Xia Luotong's hair nonchalantly, as if he was sure that Wu Fengyan would not ignore him.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong here?" Xia Luotong keenly noticed something and looked at Wu Zechen curiously and asked.
Wu Zechen didn't hide it from her, and explained directly: "This happened yesterday. It hasn't spread yet because of the Lantern Festival, but you will hear the news in the past two days. It's about the mother clan of the Ninth Prince. It’s about the Yan family.”
"Back then, the Yan family was framed. Mr. Yan and several of his heirs were all executed. The other family members suffered heavy casualties. Although they were not exterminated, their vitality was severely damaged and it was difficult to stand on the court anymore, so the whole family He returned to his ancestral land and completely disappeared from the eyes of the world.”
"And Concubine Yan, the mother of the Ninth Prince, died not long after giving birth to the Ninth Prince because she was implicated in the family's disaster."
"Yesterday, the case of the Yan family was finally overturned. When the truth came to light, the emperor gave countless rewards to compensate the Yan family, and even promised many positions to the Yan family, allowing them to return to the court. The ninth prince Wu Fengyan also re-entered the court. The emperor’s vision has been revealed, and he was summoned by the emperor last night.”
"No wonder Ah Yan can leave the palace today." Xia Luotong suddenly nodded. He didn't expect such a big thing to happen yesterday, "What is the background of the Yan family?"
Xia Luotong had never heard of the Yan family, after all, it had been so long ago.
"The Yan family is a scholarly family and plays an important role among literati. There are still many disciples of the Yan family in the court today." Wu Zechen obviously knows a lot about what happened back then. "After the incident happened to the Yan family, many literati We jointly submitted a letter to plead for mercy, but in the end we were unable to save the lives of several great scholars of the Yan family, which really caused quite a stir at the time."
At this point, Xia Luotong understood something: "Now that the Yan family's case has been investigated and their innocence has been restored, in order to calm down the anger of the scholars and compensate for the mistakes of the past, the emperor will definitely reuse the Yan family and the stories of Concubine Yan. Ninth Prince."
"Yes, the Yan family is on their way to Beijing, and Wu Fengyan has now not only moved back to the palace where Concubine Yan lived, but also received an errand and officially entered the court." Regarding the news about Wu Fengyan, Wu Zechen They told Xia Luotong without any concealment, "Furthermore, the emperor is already working on the title of Wu Fengyan. The title of king will be a matter of the near future. He will only wait until he leaves the palace next year to establish a new residence."
Xia Luotong was not surprised by the emperor's series of actions. After all, Wu Fengyan was the only descendant of Concubine Yan. These rewards were just things that should have belonged to him. If Concubine Yan was still alive, based on Concubine Yan's With family background, these things will definitely be given to Wu Fengyan.
Not all princes can be crowned kings, and not all princesses can be crowned kings. Currently, there are not many princes who are crowned kings. If Wu Fengyan succeeds in crowning himself king, his status will be different.
Speaking of this, Xia Luotong suddenly remembered something: "A Yan was being hunted tonight. Could it be that someone didn't want him to show up..."
"It should be. After all, the power of the Yan family cannot be underestimated. It has a profound foundation and has a very high status among scholars and many civil servants. And Wu Fengyan is the only descendant of Concubine Yan. The Yan family must stand on the side of Wu Fengyan. Behind him, he is a big threat to other princes." Wu Zechen said with certainty.
Xia Luotong couldn't help but feel helpless. He didn't expect that Wu Fengyan had been ignored before. Now that he had finally gained attention, he had to endure this again. But speaking of it, wasn't the same for Wu Zechen? I have to say that this is the helplessness of being born in an emperor's family.
She thought for a while and said: "So, what happened tonight was done by his royal brothers?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it will be those few people." Having said that, in fact, Wu Zechen had already identified those princes.
After all, aren't they the ones who have the most direct conflict of interest with Wu Fengyan? And they least want Wu Fengyan to develop and grow.
"But can you confirm who it is?" Xia Luotong asked curiously.
"It's not certain yet, but it should be those three people. After all, the three of them are currently in a three-legged position, and they don't want any newcomers to intervene. On the contrary, the other princes are even more eager for Wu Fengyan to join the battle, which will make it easier for them to fish in troubled waters. "Wu Zechen analyzed.
He didn't mind letting Xia Luotong know about the situation at all. As long as Xia Luotong was interested, he would be happy to talk about it.
He never believed in the so-called bullshit principle that women at home should not interfere with court matters. He believed that husband and wife should advance and retreat together and trust each other, so if something happened, he would definitely not hide it from Xia Luotong.
Xia Luotong knew very well who the three people Wu Zechen was referring to. They were the crown prince, the second prince and the third prince. Among the current princes, these three were the most powerful, and they also held the most powerful He has military power and is the most powerful contender for the throne.
However, the prince is the most powerful among them. He is the eldest son, and with the queen sitting in the palace, the emperor has to favor him more. This last point is what makes other princes most dissatisfied. After all, nothing is as good as the emperor. Attention is most important.
"They acted quickly. My brother's life finally got better, so they couldn't wait to take action." The look on Xia Luotong's face turned cold, and she thought of herself.
