Xingsheng Tea House.
Yan Peiyu did not put on the airs of the prince, but entered through the back door in a very low-key manner.
When we arrived at the inner courtyard, we asked for a private room.
When he and Ying Cailan arrived, Yan Ze and his wife were already inside.
As soon as he saw Shi Run, Ying Cailan immediately took her aside to study the Nine-Nine Soul-Captivating Needle Array.
The two men were left sitting drinking tea.
"The First Prince has closed the case."
Yan Peiyu sighed and asked, "What do Nine Emperors Uncle think?"
What happened that day took half a month, and their communication during this half month basically relied on letters.
Until today, he didn't dare to see Yan Ze.
Regardless of whether you feel relieved or not, we must meet.
But to this day, the anger in Yan Ze's heart has not dissipated: "You ask me what I think? Shouldn't I ask you?"
He had just come out of the palace, and he was no longer angry at Yan Peiyu.
"..." Yan Peiyu was silent and said resignedly: "Why is Yan Xiang so perfunctory, and the case is just settled like this, without any excuse from the emperor?"
"Could it be that Yan Xiang really found something and backed down on his own initiative, pretending that nothing was found?"
"and……"
He met Yan Ze's eyes, his eyes cold and venomous: "This matter has something to do with the Emperor!"
Yan Ze was not surprised at all by his face.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Their uncle and nephew had nothing to do with each other, and Yan Ze was unhappy with the emperor and Prince Kang. Prince Kang's son should have been in the opposite camp to him.
However, in many aspects, their cognitions are surprisingly similar.
Even the hostility in his bones is exactly the same.
Yan Peiyu doesn't look like Prince Kang's son, but looks like Yan Ze's!
It's just that Yan Ze's anger has surfaced, but Yan Peiyu has been suppressing it and will never reveal it easily unless something happens.
"So, you have already had suspicions."
"And you tricked me back just to tear a crack in that fig leaf for you?"
"When I asked you, you said you knew nothing!"
"You kid, can you be more sincere!"
Faced with Yan Ze's questioning, Yan Peiyu certainly would not admit it.
The corners of his lips raised slightly, and he looked at the emperor's aunt and his young wife, who were sitting on the other side with their heads facing each other studying medical skills.
He smiled very devilishly and said: "The main reason is that my wife wants to learn acupuncture. She has an excellent talent in this area. If you want to learn from nature, you have to learn from the best!"
In fact, Yan Ze was right.
The current emperor has always had a grudge against Yan Ze.
There are many reasons, all of which are related to the dragon chair:
The ANBU under Yan Ze are very powerful;
His mother's clan's influence in the court was also deeply entangled;
His wife's family is a reclusive family with many talented people.
Finally, he also has the support of Emperor Taishu King Lie!
To sum up, if Yan Ze wanted to come back and fight for the throne back then, it was entirely possible for him to succeed.
Yan Ze came back to the imperial capital twice in so many years, and both times the emperor felt that his chair was shaking.
Yan Zecai didn't believe Yan Peiyu's words.
Even if what Yan Peiyu said was correct, that was only one of the reasons.
This cheap nephew has eight hundred minds, how could he not know it!
He snorted and said: "Nowadays, even my biological brother is on guard, and I don't want to save face by driving you out of the imperial capital. In this way, the longer this emperor is, the more suspicious he will be!"
The smile on Yan Peiyu's lips grew stronger, and she put down her tea cup and said, "Especially, I am actually getting close to his henchman, the Nine Emperors! What should be done, shouldn't we do it quickly?"
"Okay, admit it?" Yan Ze gave him an angry laugh: "You just wanted to study medicine through the Crown Princess, and tricked my Run'er into coming back. The goal was to bring me back to use you as a shield!"
Yan Peiyu smiled but said nothing.
Isn't this a success?
Yan Ze knew he was on the pirate ship, but there was nothing he could do.
Who told him to put his wife first in everything? Whatever Shi Run said he wanted to do, he would never refuse.
Looking over there again, Shi Run and Ying Cailan were discussing medical skills, and the smiles on their faces were happier than they had been in a long time.
He had nothing to say, so he changed the topic back to the main topic: "Yan Xiang arrested a few charlatans and said they were my enemies, so he closed the case."
"The emperor turned a blind eye and summoned me to the palace to identify him."
"I knew there was something fishy about it, but I still followed his wishes and admitted it."
"So, that's the end of it."
What Yan Peiyu wanted to talk to him about was this matter: "But it's not nothing."
The reward is: it is really the emperor who wants to deal with him!
So……
Was the poison in his body caused by the emperor?
In this way, it can also explain why he and the prince often go in and out together, eat and sleep together. The prince did not fall into the trap, but he did!
And after he became "sick", all the imperial doctors rushed to the door of Prince Kang's Mansion, but none of them could cure him!
Yan Ze felt that drinking tea was tasteless, but in this teahouse, what could he do without drinking tea?
He put down the tea cup and said, "I will leave after the Queen Mother's birthday party."
It's not that he refuses to stay and help him, but that he can't stay in the Imperial Capital according to the law!
Not giving him the title of king means that the emperor holds a grudge against him.
But he has a fiefdom, and in any case, he can be considered a vassal king.
"It doesn't matter, now that the snake is lured out of the hole, the Crown Princess can also learn what she wants to learn." Yan Peiyu followed these words and continued: "Thank you Uncle Nine Emperors for your hard work!"
Yan Ze raised his hand and pointed at his nose, laughing and scolding: "Admit it? You are so evil!"
Yan Peiyu smiled calmly and said, "I have already made arrangements. The apprenticeship ceremony will be held here."
Ying Cailan's side.
After the two women exchanged information about the Nine-Nine Soul Captivating Needle Array, Ying Cailan told Shi Run about opening a pharmacy.
Shi Run was immediately interested: "When will it open?"
"If there hadn't been some trouble, we would have opened long ago." Ying Cailan shrugged and said, "The way it is now, it will probably have to wait until the Queen Mother's birthday party is over."
Although Shi Run had only been here a few days, Yan Ze had already sent people to inquire about information from all sides.
Therefore, she also knew that the opening of Ying Cailan's drug store was delayed because it was smashed.
"What a coincidence. When I opened a small pharmacy in Long County, such a small shop was also smashed."
"Actually, the scope of the murderer is really small."
"When they do such stupid things, they always think that the whole world is as stupid as them!"
When Ying Cailan heard this, she couldn't help but smile and said: "There is nothing we can do. Now my so-called sister-in-law is held in the palm of the hand by the eldest prince. The case has been suppressed and there is no way to start the trial. Although the eldest prince's concubine sent someone to I sent a message and agreed to join forces with me. But if you want to avenge this arrow, you have to look for opportunities!"
"That's right." Shi Run nodded and said, "It's inconvenient to do many things under the emperor's feet."
What can Ying Cailan do?
Who allowed her to travel through time and carry such an identity?
She likes to look forward and did not dwell on this matter for too long. She changed the subject: "Auntie Huang, the apprenticeship ceremony has not been completed yet!"
Shi Run smiled and said: "I don't care about false etiquette. Since you care, let's do it today."
Here, Yan Peiyu has made people ready.
Ying Cailan respectfully performed the apprenticeship ceremony. From now on, she will be the first apprentice Shi Run officially accepts!
"Master, please accept my disciple's bow!"
After it was over, the two couples left Xingsheng Teahouse respectively.
Ying Cailan and Yan Peiyu also returned to the palace.
In the next few days, Shi Run secretly came to Prince Kang's Mansion every day.
While removing the remaining poison from Yan Peiyu, he also personally taught Ying Cailan the Nine-Nine Soul Absorbing Needle Formation.
Finally, the day of the Queen Mother’s birthday party has arrived!
