Chapter 76: Causing a Commotion in the Imperial Palace and Having a Heart-to-Heart with My Son
Xiao Zheng looked at me condescendingly: "It's Ben Taizi!"
I was just crouching on the ground eating little tofu, but as soon as I heard this sentence, I immediately jumped up.
The young master let out a nasal hum: "Respect the identity of this young master! See if you dare to be so bold!"
"You, you're the crown prince?"
"It's true. I am indeed the Crown Prince of the Yue Xuan Dynasty, Jun Yan Qi." Xiao Zhengtao lifted his head with a hint of pride.
Scared stiff, aren't you? It seems that this prince's prestige is still quite high!
"Wow! I ate the tofu of the current prince, it's going to be a big deal if it gets out!" Just after saying that, the thief's hand ruthlessly slapped Xun Yanqi's face again. Xun Yanqi thought to himself while enduring the torment: This woman's brain structure is truly incomparable to ordinary people!
"That's enough! Don't touch me!" Little Zhengtao pried open my hand with all his might, saying indignantly.
Her little face scrunched up in anger, her red complexion was simply adorable. It's really enough to melt someone to death!
The thief's hand still wanted to continue its destruction when a voice came from the doorway, Lin Xuan's: "Yue'er, who is this child?"
"Mother!" Junyan Qi stomped his foot in anger and immediately escaped from my "devil's claw", turning to rush towards Lin Xuan.
"Qi'er, how did you come?!" Lin Xuan's face showed a bit of surprise.
Tightly embracing Junyan Qi who rushed into his arms. "Plop" was just one mouthful —
"Oh, son, your mother is going to die for you!"
"After mother, I also miss you! So today, I took advantage of Li Guifei's nap to come and see you."
I gritted my teeth in resentment: what's the point? Why can I just touch his face a little and he gets so angry, but Yan Jie can be so affectionate and hug him? It's not fair! Not fair!
Although he is Yan Jie's son, it can't be unfair!
"Qi'er, it's been several months since we last met, and you've grown taller again! Your mother almost didn't recognize you!" Lin Xuan smiled as she stroked Qi'er's head.
"Mother, this is no excuse."
"Oh dear, alright, alright, Mother was wrong!"
"That's about right."
Looking at the interaction between the mother and son, I think this might be the only reason why Yan Jie is willing to stay in the palace. Hmph, that person who hurt Yan Jie's heart. I will definitely not let him off!
"Hey, Yan Jie, you've forgotten about me!" I complained discontentedly.
Lin Xuan didn't even glance at me: "Wherever it's cool, stay there, I want to have a heart-to-heart with my son! Come on, son, let's go to the inner palace." He dragged Junyan Qi into the inner palace.
The moment she brushed past me, she mouthed a "thank you!"
"I also said 'no need'."
Helping others is just my nature! (Look, I'm being narcissistic again.)
Six years after the prince's disappearance, what exactly happened during these six years?
He then pulled out a purple swallow from his bosom, which was the intelligence given by Ziyan. On it was written the time when the Crown Prince went missing.
It was exactly six years ago that Lin Xuan and Jun Qinzhu got married.
Is it just a coincidence?
Impossible! The prince's disappearance must be related to Jun Qinzhu. And it's likely that this is also the source of conflict between Yan Jie and the Emperor.
Intelligence also says that the current emperor, in order to consolidate his own power, first took the daughters of powerful officials from the literary and martial arts circles as concubines, and frequently intermarried with other countries.
Then, he sent Yan's son to be raised by Li Guifei, the most powerful concubine in the imperial family. The Empress Dowager also didn't think highly of Yan and used her position to take Yan's daughter into her own care. As a result, Yan was left with no one by her side.
Whoever hurts Yan Jie will have to pay the price!
You're really useless as an emperor, using women to consolidate your power.
