Chapter 169
"Impossible? Isn't Duan Yuwan designated as a side concubine?" Wei Ze was quite surprised and made it clear that he didn't believe it.

At home, when Mrs. Wei Jungong mentioned that Duan Yuwan was going to enter the East Palace as a side concubine, she was so angry that she beat her chest and stamped her feet with great regret.

It seems that Duan Yuwan is a woman like a fairy, and it is a pity that she did not marry into the Wei family.

"The prince's heart is as deep as the sea, who knows?" Gu Yunbai bent down, leaned on the window sill, nudged Wei Ze with his elbow, and said with a smile, "Why don't we make a bet that within a stick of incense , I bet the prince will walk in through this gate!"

"What are you gambling?"

"If you lose, you call me Lord, and if I lose, I call you brother!"

"..." Wei Ze blushed.

This sounds...why is it wrong?

It's not fair.

Jiang Nan followed Chen Yanli into a consulting room. Chen Yanli put his hand on the door frame, hesitated for a long time whether to close the door, and finally opened the door.

"Is your injury healed?" Jiang Nan asked first.

Chen Yanli hummed: "Okay, thank you, Crown Princess, for your concern."

The consulting room is located on the west side, and the autumn sun sets quickly, but at noon, the sun slanted on the doors and windows, hitting her face, the light was mottled and flickering.

After waiting for a while, when Chen Yanli did not speak, Jiang Nan couldn't help asking, "What do you want me for?"

Chen Yanli's eyes fell on her face very lightly, and he said in a low voice: "Xuanwuhou was killed, the government and the public were shaken, and the sword pointed at the remnants of the Gu family, it is not a good thing for you!"

Jiang Nan understood: "I know, thank you for reminding me!"

Such a high-profile revenge is definitely not the work of the Gu family. The murderer's actions will only provoke the emperor to order the killing of the remnants of the Gu family.

What's more, Xuanwuhou, as the perpetrator of the unjust case, died like this. Who will plead guilty?

From any point of view, it is not a good thing.

Only that idiot Gu Yunbai couldn't see the truth clearly and was still cheerful.

"This person can casually kill a Fengjiang Marquis in the Imperial Capital without leaving any clues. He must not be an ordinary person, and he may be an entire organization. And they will not stop. Who is the next one? Do you know? "Chen Yanli.

"I don't know, you know?" Jiang Nan's eyes were as cold as ice, subconsciously feeling that Chen Yanli was testing her.

"I think it's the prince, he started to fight back." Chen Yanli approached Jiang Nan and said in a low voice.

"..." Jiang Nan took a step back in shock, and blurted out, "Nonsense."

Seeing that she didn't believe her, Chen Yanli explained again: "He married you, and there was a crusade all over the court. His behavior became more outrageous, and all the officials unanimously supported King Qin, shaking the foundation of the country. He became a weak person, and King Qin became a strong one." Those who are deeply feared by the emperor!"

Jiang Nan retorted in a low voice: "So what? He is the prince of the Eastern Palace, not a saint. He has emotions and makes mistakes. If you support the vassal and stay away from the prince because of a small matter, it will really shake the foundation of the country!"

Seeing that she was quite agitated, Chen Yanli was silent for a moment, and sighed: "You are devoted to defending the prince, and you don't understand what I mean! The prince doesn't have to win over the courtiers, or even manage the corporals, because he is the prince, but the king of Qin can't, he If you want it, you have to grab it! But the more you do, the more mistakes you will make in the eyes of the emperor! On the surface, it seems that the prince has lost power, but I see that the king of Qin is really in a very dangerous situation!"

"He has no ambition. If he doesn't go for it, he won't be in danger!" Jiang Nan blinked, her eyes dim, she knew very well that she had already made a choice.

The prince is her husband, she has a son, she should be more selfish.

Chen Yanli stared at Jiang Nan for a long time before saying, "Have you ever thought about it? The Gu family is still there. Now everything that Xie Yun owns will belong to the King of Qin. How can you let him feel relieved? At such a critical moment, the remnants of the Gu family are still there. Jumping out to make waves, do you think that the emperor will feel that the person behind this incident is King Qin stationed far away in the north? Once the remnants of the Gu family get involved with King Qin, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"My lord and I are half of the Gu family's remnants. There is no way we can escape. The emperor is afraid of the Gu family and him. Why would he fight? Can't you persuade him?" Jiang Nan's eyes were icy cold.

"You can't persuade me, do you think I can persuade you? The Zhou Dynasty sent princes and princesses to marry, Ye Chengcheng went back to the capital to observe his filial piety, and countless spies from Tiance Mansion gathered in the north to monitor King Qin's every move! It’s all right if he doesn’t want to be a minister, but he has! How many soldiers and horses he has privately stockpiled in the northern border, and how much he has to spend every month, the emperor probably knows better than the king of Qin!”

Chen Yanli controlled the volume, but his emotions were too turbulent. When he talked about the excitement, his voice was unconsciously raised, and Jiang Nan was so frightened that he quickly closed the door.

She lowered her voice and reprimanded lightly: "Is he trying to rebel? Are you going to return to the Imperial Capital?"

"If I knew he had such ambitions, I would definitely not marry my younger sister to him! My whole family would be worried!" Chen Yanli flicked his sleeves, very angry.

Chen Yanli could throw up her sleeves and quit at any time, but Jiang Nan said that she was connected with King Qin's blood, so she calmed down: "What do you want me to do when you are looking for me now?"

"You are in the East Palace, and all the secret reports from the Tiance Mansion will be seen by the Crown Prince. If you have the heart, you will be able to find out the news. If it is really the Crown Prince's actions, persuade him to stop! He is the Crown Prince of the East Palace. As long as he does not turn against him, no one will Can take his place!"

"..." Jiang Nan didn't answer out loud, she raised her eyebrows and prepared to leave.

"Jiang Nan, why did you call me third brother last time?" Chen Yanli blurted out the moment Jiang Nan was about to open the door.

Jiang Nan turned to look at him in surprise, and said vaguely, "I don't remember when it happened."

"..." Chen Yanli's eyes darkened slightly.

Jiang Nan opened the door and walked out. In the blink of an eye, she felt a familiar figure passing by in front of her eyes. She reacted almost instinctively, and closed the door behind her with her backhand.

The door was closed quickly and suddenly, and Chen Yanli couldn't catch up with a hunter, and was almost hit in the face by the door, with a look of astonishment on his face, he was about to ask, when a man's low voice of questioning came from outside the room.

"Who were you in there with?"

"No one!" Jiang Nan answered very concisely, pushing Xie Yun away.

Chen Yanli couldn't help laughing, why was she so guilty, as if she felt ashamed of being raped?

When the Prince Chao paid a sudden visit, the Xu family was so frightened that they didn't dare to fart, and knelt on the ground in a grand manner.

Naturally, Jiang Nan couldn't stay any longer, and urged Xie Yun to leave quickly.

Before leaving, Gu Yunbai raised an eyebrow at Wei Ze, Wei Ze smiled helplessly, and whispered into her ear, "Master, you are my uncle!"

Gu Yunbai was ecstatic, and whispered in Wei Ze's ear: "Good grandson!"

Wei Ze grimaced.

"Remember to pay back the favor of saving your life! I will come to you for something in the future, you can't shirk it!" Gu Yunbai slapped Wei Ze on the shoulder suddenly.

"It's easy to say!" Wei Ze said with a smile, "Let me make a promise with my body!"

Gu Yunbai's face changed slightly: "It's a beautiful idea!"
