"It's Yan'er's blessing to know you, and it's also my Nanchen's luck!"
Emperor Chen smiled kindly and tightly held Su Xian's hand and Chen Keyan's hand together. To prevent the two from being separated, he held them firmly in place.
"I hope that the... friendship between you can last for a long time."
Emperor Chen's wrinkled hand gently patted the back of Su Xian's hand. At the same time, he turned to look at Su Xian and said with a meaningful smile:
"I will leave Yan'er to you. If Yan'er has any difficulties in the future, please give me your guidance and advice as before."
"..."
By the way, why did Emperor Chen change his focus and try his best to bring Su Xian and Chen Keyan together?
He was worried just now that it would be inappropriate to "force Su Xian to stay" and worried about the possibility of "Su Xian seizing Nanchen Jiangshan".
It turned out that when Emperor Chen saw Su Xian and Chen Keyan walking in hand in hand, a flash of lightning flashed through his heart, and he thought of a way to "get the best of both worlds."
To put it simply, it is to allow Chen Keyan and Su Xian to maintain an ambiguous relationship.
If they don't get married, they won't force Su Xian to stay in Nanchen.
There are two benefits to this operation. First, if Nan Chen encounters a problem that cannot be solved in the future, Su Xian will definitely lend a helping hand for Chen Keyan's sake.
Second, because Su Xian is not forced to stay in Nanchen and does not marry Chen Keyan, Su Xian will not be permanently stationed in Nanchen, which just avoids the possibility of Su Xian seizing power.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone!
However, this plan also has a flaw.
That is very unfriendly to Chen Keyan——
It's unfair to her to have her sacrifice herself to maintain an ambiguous relationship with Su Xian, but not to get a status by marrying Su Xian.
Although Emperor Chen loved Chen Keyan very much, he thought over and over again that for the sake of Nanchen's country and for King Tian to secure his position as emperor, he had to make sacrifices!
What made Emperor Chen slightly gratified was that he had already been keenly aware that his daughter seemed to have a deep affection for Su Xian, and they were already in love with each other.
This was very good and greatly alleviated the guilt in Chen Di's heart.
At least Su Xian is the person Yan Er likes...
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. From now on, the affairs of Your Highness the Princess are my business, and I will never stand idly by!" Su Xian was puzzled and hurriedly assured Emperor Chen.
Emperor Chen's words were all about this, and it had the meaning of "giving his last words." Moreover, Chen Keyan was still betrothed to him. Why didn't you agree to such a good thing quickly?
After agreeing to Emperor Chen, Su Xian turned his head and glanced at Chen Keyan again, with suspicion and ridicule in his eyes, as if to say:
"Didn't you just say that Emperor Chen doesn't want you to get married? What's going on now? Hehe, as the saying goes, parents order matchmakers, you are my woman now!"
Chen Keyan was even more confused. She couldn't understand what Emperor Chen was thinking for a while. She remembered clearly that just a few days ago, Emperor Chen had expressed the intention of "not letting her get married and supporting King Tian with all his heart." Woolen cloth.
Why did you suddenly change your mind?
Chen Keyan couldn't understand.
If she didn't understand, she didn't think much about it. At this moment, her pretty face was flushed with embarrassment.
She gently twitched her hand again, but unfortunately Emperor Chen pressed it too tightly and did not twitch. In the end, she had to lower her head and whisper: "Father, what are you talking about? I will always stay with my father!"... .
Emperor Chen turned his head to look, put on a straight face, and scolded in a lecturing tone:
"Nonsense! As the saying goes, men should get married when they get married, and girls should get married when they get older. As Princess Nanchen, you should set an example for the people in the world. Don't mention such stupid words again in the future!"
"Yes, I will obey my father's orders." Chen Keyan lowered her head, feeling very confused for a moment.
Emperor Chen then smiled with satisfaction, turned to look at Su Xian again, and patted Su Xian's hand gently: "As long as the Taiwei's words are heard, my hanging heart will be relieved. You must communicate well in the future. "
When he said the second half of the sentence, he brought Su Xian and Chen Keyan's hands together again, tightened them hard, and then released them, letting the two of them keep their hands.
Holding hands.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Emperor Chen's hand was released, Chen Keyan's little hand wanted to escape.
Su Xian held it tightly with his backhand, looked at Emperor Chen and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will do what I say and will never let your Majesty and the Princess down!"
"So good!"
Emperor Chen lowered his eyes and looked at the hands held tightly by Su Xian and Chen Keyan, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
When Su Xian saw this, he couldn't help but feel amused, and said to himself: "Emperor Chen probably doesn't know that his daughter and I have hugged, kissed, and even touched her hands..."
"His daughter and I are just one step away from each other. We are just holding hands now... Well, if Emperor Chen knew this, would he jump up in anger and chase me?"
"hiss……"
Thinking of this, Su Xian couldn't help but feel a little weak.
Looking sideways at Chen Keyan, he found that Chen Keyan's expression was also quite strange. Su Xian immediately understood that Chen Keyan should also have thought of this.
However, compared to Su Xian, Chen Keyan felt even more guilty because she had taken the initiative to seduce Su Xian. How could that scene be compared to holding a little hand?
Fortunately, Emperor Chen didn't know about it...
Even though Su Xian felt a little weak, he never let go of Chen Keyan's little hand.
Anyway, it was her biological father who forced it on her, so Su Xian accepted it with peace of mind. Speaking of which, Chen Keyan's little hands felt really comfortable to touch, smooth and tender, slender and boneless, the best of the best!
"Master, don't you have something to ask your father?"
Chen Keyan wanted to end this embarrassing scene as soon as possible, but suddenly remembered the incident of Prince Daqian, so she took the initiative to remind her.
"Oh, yes, yes, I almost forgot about this." Su Xian patted his forehead and looked at Emperor Chen seriously: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister here actually has one more thing to ask."
"Just ask, Lieutenant, as long as I know something, I will definitely tell you." Emperor Chen straightened his sitting posture.
"What the foreign minister wants to ask is about the night when the Daqian Dynasty fell. Specifically, information about the Daqian Crown Prince." Su Xian asked hurriedly.
"Daqian Dynasty? Prince Daqian?" Upon hearing this, Emperor Chen frowned, lowered his head and fell into deep thought. Those were all things that happened ten or twenty years ago, which was really a long time ago.
Fortunately, Emperor Chen was not sick yet. After pondering for a while, he began to tell some secrets and inside stories he knew.
Su Xian immediately worked hard and did not miss even a word... But as he listened, he couldn't help but frown slightly, because he already knew what Emperor Chen was talking about!
After listening for a while, there was still nothing new about what Emperor Chen said. It was all "old news" to him. ….
But he couldn't be interrupted, so he had to concentrate and listen. Unexpectedly, it was really boring, and he almost fell asleep at the end...
It seems that my happiness has been in vain again!
Su Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Just now at the Princess Mansion, Chen Keyan said that Emperor Chen knew the inside story of the Daqian Dynasty. He was so looking forward to it, but the result was...
[In other words, it is currently the best to use for reading and listening to books. Change the source and install the latest version. 】
That's all, let's investigate the matter about the former prince slowly.
Su Xian is ready for a protracted war.
Emperor Chen seemed to be lost in long-lasting memories and continued to preach:
"...The palace maid took a huge risk and smuggled two babies out of the Daqian Palace. One of them is the prince of Daqian, and the other is the prince of Shu."
Su Xian maintained a listening attitude on the surface, but in his heart he was silently complaining: "I know this, I just found out not long ago."
"The two young princes were smuggled out of the palace and sent to different places." Emperor Chen added.
Su Xian's brows twitched when he heard this. He vaguely realized that he probably didn't know what Emperor Chen was going to say next, so he became alert and listened attentively.
"One of the princes was sent to the Su family in the divine capital, and the other was sent to the Lin family in the divine capital." Emperor Chen said.
"One of them was sent to the Lin family?!" Su Xian was shocked, but he didn't know the secret, so he hurriedly asked: "Dare I ask?
Your Majesty, did the Prince of Daqian send it to the Lin family, or did the Prince of Shu send it to the Lin family? "
Emperor Chen was slightly surprised. It seemed that this was the first time that Su Xian was so excited, but he didn't think much about it and just shook his head and said:
"I don't know exactly who was sent to the Su family and who was sent to the Lin family."
"The situation that night was very complicated, and so much time has passed, so what I know may not be correct."
Su Xian was slightly disappointed and nodded: "That's right. Does your Majesty know any other inside information? For example, where is the Prince of Daqian now? Where is the former Prince of Shu, etc.?"
Emperor Chen shook his head and said:
"I don't know about this. I sent people to check afterward, but the Prince of Daqian and the Prince of Shu seemed to have disappeared from the world, and there was no news."
Although Su Xian felt regretful, he still stood up and bowed to Emperor Chen: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for informing me. I have benefited a lot."
"Haha, it's a trivial matter, you're welcome." Emperor Chen said with a smile.
"..."
Next, Su Xian and Chen Di talked about something else.
After all, Emperor Chen was seriously ill, and after taking medicine, his eyelids soon started to tremble, making him very sleepy.
When Su Xian and Chen Keyan saw this, they stood up to say goodbye and exited Emperor Chen's chamber.
On the way back to the Princess's Mansion, Su Xian felt very happy as he recalled what he had just experienced, especially the fact that "Emperor Chen betrothed Chen Keyan to him."
He turned his head and looked at Chen Keyan's beautiful face in profile, thinking about how to tease Chen Keyan.
However, before the words were spoken, he suddenly noticed that Chen Keyan looked wrong——
Her beautiful eyebrows were knitted together with a deep sadness, and her face was quite ugly.
Su Xian instantly understood that Chen Keyan must be very conflicted because she planned to launch a coup to seize Nanchen Jiangshan on the day of Emperor Chen's death, and then ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. ….
But Emperor Chen didn't know.
On the contrary, I hope Chen Keyan can do her best to assist King Zuo Tian.
In other words, there is deception and conspiracy!
What is heart-wrenching is that the father-daughter relationship between Chen Keyan and Chen Di is very deep... Oh, what a human tragedy. Chen Keyan must be in great pain deep in her heart.
There is also King Tian. Putting aside his personal abilities, King Tian did nothing wrong.
But if Chen Keyan ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, will the Nanchen Dynasty still be able to accommodate King Tian?
As far as Su Xian knows, King Tian’s mother-in-law and Chen Keyan’s mother-in-law are twin sisters from the same mother...
Just thinking of this, Su Xian put away his teasing and joking, followed Chen Keyan, and returned to the princess's mansion step by step.
…
The roads in the palace are complicated.
Su Xian and Chen Keyan were walking side by side. What they didn't know was that there was a little cutie walking quickly on the side road at the intersection in front of them.
This little cutie is none other than Chen Keyan’s sister, Princess Chen Keyao of the Yue Kingdom!
If nothing else happens, they will meet Chen Keyao at the crossroads ahead.
But neither side knew it.
Su Xian and Chen Keyan walked slowly, neither of them spoke. Chen Keyan was in a complicated mood, while Su Xian didn't want to get too involved in Nan Chen's internal affairs.
On the other side, Chen Keyao was trotting along the road with her skirt in her little hands.
She wanted to go see her father before dark.
A few days ago, the imperial sister Chen Keyan saw that she was really not what she looked like, so she deceived her and said:
If you worship Buddha devoutly in your mansion every day and go to the palace to see your father once a day, for seven or forty-nine days, you might be able to move God and cure your father's illness!
Chen Keyao was innocent, and she was really filial. She hoped that Emperor Chen's illness could be completely cured, so she worshiped Buddha devoutly in the mansion every day.
She has persisted for many days.
Chen Keyan also felt relaxed for many days.
…
Ta-ta-ta-ta!
Chen Keyao ran quickly holding up her skirt.
Two short legs look like
Moving quickly like clockwork.
The personal maids who followed her into the palace were all left behind by her and disappeared.
"I haven't seen Brother Su for a long time."
As Chen Keyao was running, she suddenly thought of Su Xian. She had been worshiping Buddha devoutly these past few days, and her heart became calm. When her heart was calm, she always thought of Brother Su.
"If I can see Brother Su right away, I will tell him that I have been very good these days and have not caused any trouble... By the way, there are also the clothes I carefully sewed for Brother Su..."
I ran and ran, and finally, the intersection ahead was approaching.
Through the lush flowers and plants in the flower beds beside the road, Chen Keyao could vaguely see two figures on the side road, both of whom looked very familiar.
Who are they?
She was about to run over to take a look, but at this critical moment, her embroidered shoes suddenly fell off, and her footwear also fell down.
The snow-white and soft little jade feet were in direct contact with the ground. They were cold to the bone and were even stung by the pebbles on the road.
"hiss……"
Chen Keyao took a breath of air and stopped immediately.
She ignored the two familiar figures on the side road and sat down on the ground, gently touching her feet with her hands.
With her golden branches and jade leaves, has she ever had her soles stung by pebbles?
It hurts!
Her round little face was full of grievance and pain, and her big eyes were watery.
What's worse is that because she ran so fast, her personal maids were still behind her. She had no choice but to pick up the fallen footwear and embroidered shoes and put them on clumsily.
After finally getting dressed, Chen Keyao slowly stood up, walked to the intersection in front of him, looked around, and saw a familiar figure there!
They have already gone far!
Not a single ghost.
"That's all, let's go see our father first!"
Chen Keyao shook his head and ran straight towards Emperor Chen's bedroom.
A question suddenly occurred to her. Perhaps, her father could send someone to Daliang to invite the miracle doctor to see his father's illness.
Of course, she also has selfish motives. She believes that Brother Su will definitely follow the miracle doctor, and then she will be able to see Brother Su.
However, the plan failed to keep up with the change. Chen Keyao finally arrived at Emperor Chen's bedroom, but was told that Emperor Chen had fallen into a deep sleep after taking the medicine and asked her to come back tomorrow! .
Governor of Ming Dynasty
