People who don’t know might think that there is some unspeakable secret between their master and Prince Nangong!
Xiao Jingchuan took the letter from Yun Chi's hand and read it carefully. He naturally didn't know what Yun Chi was thinking at the moment, but even if he knew, he probably wouldn't bother to argue with anyone. After all, the relationship between him and Nangong Junze was like water and fire. If Nangong Junze's situation was not different this time, he would definitely not let him leave so easily.
Xiao Jingchuan took a quick look at it, and his frown relaxed. He then threw the letter into the brazier. The flames instantly started burning, and in a short while, everything was reduced to ashes.
Yun Chi looked at Xiao Jingchuan, who had a look of keeping strangers away just now, but now had a very happy look on his face. Such a big contrast was really unbearable to watch.
Suppressing the slight smile on the corner of his mouth, Yun Chi couldn't help but lower his eyes and said, "Master, has Yifeng said when he will be back?" Yifeng has been away for so long, and now it's time for him to come back.
Listening to Yun Chi's words, Xiao Jingchuan couldn't help but cough lightly. Then he looked at Yun Chi and said, "Now that Nangong Junze has arrived safely in Nanmo Country, I believe Yifeng is on his way back. Now that we have received the news, the palace will naturally not be left behind. Go prepare the carriage, I want to go to the palace!"
Seeing Xiao Jingchuan so anxious, Yun Chi couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He didn't know what news Yi Feng had sent that made his master's face change so drastically. However, since his master was so prepared, it seemed that this matter must be of great importance. Thinking of this, Yun Chi's face was full of seriousness. He immediately bowed and agreed, "Yes, master, I will go and prepare it right away!"
Seeing Yun Chi like this, Xiao Jingchuan couldn't help but feel a little confused, but he had something important to look for at the moment, so he naturally wouldn't care so much. Seeing that Yun Chi had disappeared, Xiao Jingchuan immediately stopped staying in the room. He straightened his clothes slightly, and then Xiao Jingchuan walked out solemnly.
When Yun Chi was ready, Xiao Jingchuan had already arrived and been waiting for a long time. Yun Chi looked at the man in front of him and hurriedly placed the stepping stool next to the carriage. He watched Xiao Jingchuan get on the carriage and then drove the carriage towards the direction of the palace.
Meanwhile, inside the palace, Emperor Shunqing had just drafted the decree granting Xiao Jingchuan a marriage, and Eunuch An heard from a young eunuch beside him that Concubine Yuan and her son had been waiting outside for a long time. Eunuch An narrowed his eyes slightly, signaling the young eunuch to withdraw. Seeing that Emperor Shunqing was in a good mood, he stepped forward and said to him:
"Your Majesty, Concubine Yuan and His Royal Highness the Third Prince have been waiting outside for a long time. Should we summon them to the palace for an audience?"
Mentioning Concubine Yuan, Eunuch An couldn't help but frown. You know, since Concubine Yuan made a big mistake some time ago and was locked up, the palace has been quiet for a few days. He hasn't heard from her for a long time. Now that the third prince's wedding is imminent, Concubine Yuan has used her identity as the third prince's biological mother to get the emperor's tacit consent to come out.
She came here today to thank the Emperor for his grace. She would definitely not let go of this good opportunity. But she was not sure if she could gain His Majesty's mercy and release her from her confinement.
Since he had received the care of Prince Jing, he would naturally not let Concubine Yuan and her son get too comfortable. A trace of indifference flashed in Eunuch An's eyes. He knew the purpose of Concubine Yuan's trip very well.
When Emperor Shunqing heard what Eunuch An said, the smile in his eyes disappeared instantly, and his expression became serious. However, for the sake of the Third Prince, he did not treat Concubine Yuan too coldly. He put the imperial edict aside and looked at Eunuch An and said calmly: "Let them in!"
Eunuch An suppressed the surprise in his eyes and bowed respectfully, "Yes!"
Seeing that Emperor Shunqing looked normal, Eunuch An did not dare to show any expression on his face at this time. You know, he was able to stay by Emperor Shunqing's side and serve for so long, relying not only on the master-servant relationship, but also on knowing when to speak and when not to speak, and helping his master solve problems, so that he could live longer.
Concubine Yuan waited quietly outside the palace. She no longer had the arrogance she once had. During this period of time, she had been locked up in the palace and forbidden to enter or leave. She did understand one thing, that is, no matter how favored she was, she could not be so arrogant. After all, as long as she did not receive the favor of the emperor, no matter how domineering she was, the emperor's decree would make her fall from grace.
Xiao Jinrui looked at his mother, who was usually so unrestrained and flamboyant. Now she looked haggard and no longer had the elegance and grace of the past. He couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. His mother had always been a very delicate existence. When had he ever seen her with such a plain face? He didn't expect that after just a few months of not seeing her, his mother seemed like a completely different person. All this was his fault as a son. If he could have won the favor of his father, why would his mother have fallen into this state?
Thinking of the information sent to him by Beilin Kingdom, Xiao Jinrui immediately had an idea in his mind. Since his father could not see his ability, he would let him see carefully whether he could achieve the final victory.
When Eunuch An came out, Concubine Yuan's face was full of smiles. She immediately stepped forward and looked at Eunuch An and said, "Eunuch An, has His Majesty told us to come in?"
Looking at Concubine Yuan's elegant and generous appearance, Eunuch An couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He didn't expect that the domineering woman in the past would be so approachable now. Concubine Yuan was good-looking to begin with, but now that she has lost that sharp temperament, she looks very eye-catching.
You have to know that the emperor has always had some affection for Concubine Yuan. Otherwise, he would not have allowed Concubine Yuan to enjoy such a lasting favor for so many years. Concubine Yuan dressed like this, and it must have taken a lot of effort. Seeing Concubine Yuan's smiling face, Eunuch An naturally couldn't refuse her. He hurried forward, looked at Concubine Yuan and her son, bowed respectfully, and said, "Concubine, Prince Rui, the emperor is waiting for you two inside. Please come in quickly!"
Hearing Eunuch An's words, Concubine Yuan couldn't help but feel delighted, her eyes full of smiles, but she didn't show it too much. She immediately looked at Eunuch An and thanked him, "Please trouble Eunuch An! I have some excellent Biluochun here. I'll have the nanny bring it to Eunuch An later so that he can have a taste!"
Hearing Concubine Yuan's words, Eunuch An was immediately flattered. He looked at Concubine Yuan and declined, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. Your Majesty is too polite!"
