Quick Wear: Host, Learn About the Fate-Changing System

half year ago

"Prime Minister Lian." Lian Luosang, who had just left court and was about to go home, was stopped by someone.

"Crown Prince." Lian Luosang saluted the visitor.

"Prime Minister, there is no need to be so polite." Chen Xin hurriedly supported Lian Luosang.

"I wonder if there is anything wrong with the eldest prince?" Lian Luosang asked.

"I do have something to ask." Chen Xin was a little embarrassed. "I just wanted to ask how Sister Qing'er is doing. I heard that she was sick a while ago. Is she better now?"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern for my daughter." Lian Luosang bowed again. "My daughter is fine now."

"I've already told you, Prime Minister, there's no need to be so polite." Despite saying so, Chen Xin didn't support Lian Luosang this time. "Then could I go visit Sister Qing'er?"

"Your Highness, you are truly embarrassing me," Lian Luosang said. "If Your Highness wishes to visit my daughter, you are always welcome."

"Then it's settled. After visiting Mother, I'll go to the Prime Minister's Residence to look for Sister Qing'er."

Watching Chen Xin's figure gradually walking away, Lian Luosang became more and more confused. Chen Xin was not the first person to ask Lian Qing. The fifth prince and the second prince had asked him two days ago.

I don’t know what they are going to do?

Lian Luosang walked towards the palace gate with doubts, but was stopped again when he was about to step out of the palace gate.

"Prime Minister Lian, the Empress invites you."

As a last resort, Lian Luosang could only retract his steps and walk towards the Queen's palace.

However, the father-in-law who was leading the way had a stomachache halfway, so Lian Luosang had to go alone. What happened next made Lian Luosang feel that he would never forget it.

"Mother, I've had enough." It was the eldest prince's voice. "Running to the Prime Minister's residence every day is really annoying. I don't know what father is thinking, forcing us to revolve around Lian Qing!"

"Shut up!" The Queen hurriedly looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she found no one else. "Just complain to me, don't say it in front of others."

"I know," Chen Xin said, "I only told you because you are my mother."

"Chen Xin, you only need to understand one thing." The Queen pressed Chen Xin's shoulders, her expression serious, "You must establish a good relationship with Lian Qing. Even if you are reluctant, you must hold it in!"

"Mother?" Chen Xin couldn't understand. Father was like this, and so was Mother. Why did he have to cultivate a good relationship with Lian Qing? Why did Father say that whoever got Lian Qing would be the heir to the throne? Why did Father put the right to the throne on Lian Qing?

"Phoenix's destiny." Seeing that Chen Xin really wanted to know the reason, the Queen looked around again, then leaned close to Chen Xin and whispered in his ear, "Lian Qing is carrying the Phoenix's destiny."

"Phoenix... fate?" Chen Xin was shocked when he heard the queen's words. He never thought that this would be the reason.

Phoenix life!

Although Chen Xin suppressed the sound in time, Lian Luosang still heard it. So, is this the reason why those princes approached the Prime Minister's Mansion and Lian Qing?

Just because of these two words, his son went to the border, his daughter married someone she didn't love, and his youngest daughter... became a tool for the other princes to fight for the throne!

Luosang couldn't really remember what happened afterwards. He only knew that when he came to his senses, he had already left the palace and was on his way back to the Prime Minister's Residence.

Since then, Lian Luosang began to find various excuses to prevent the princes from contacting Lian Qing, until now.

-

"Well, does big brother know about this?" Lian Miyue was filled with mixed emotions after listening to Lian Luosang's story.

"Jingye doesn't know." Lian Luosang said, "I didn't tell him."

"So, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the only ones who know about this are my father and me, the two of us?"

"Correct."

"Father, do you have any ideas?" Lian Miyue asked. "If it is really as Xiaoqing dreamed, the Prime Minister's Mansion will be destroyed sooner or later. What do you plan to do?"

"We must prepare in advance." Lian Luosang said, "I will have Lin Yi send a message to Jing Ye, telling him not to act impulsively."

"Xiaoyue, you have to protect yourself too."

"Don't worry, father." Lian Miyue felt relieved when she saw that Lian Luosang already had a plan to deal with the situation.

"You..." Lian Luosang looked at his second daughter who had sacrificed herself for the Prime Minister's Mansion, "Are you going to eat at home today?"

The word "home" touched Lian Miyue deeply. No matter what, the Prime Minister's Mansion was Lian Miyue's home.

"No." Lian Miyue waved her hand. "My visit to the Prime Minister's Mansion should have been reported to him by now. If I stay here for too long, he'll get suspicious."

"Father, take care of yourself."

Lian Miyue left.

"Ugh……"

Looking at Lian Miyue's leaving figure, Lian Luosang sighed deeply. His home was right in front of him, but he couldn't stay there for long.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is already in this state, why doesn't that person let them go? Is he really going to kill everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion as in Xiaoqing's dream?

After sighing enough, Lian Luosang cheered himself up again.

"Lin Mo."

"Sir." Lin Mo appeared in front of Lian Luosang.

"Where is Lin Yi? Ask him to come back."

"Yes, my lord."

-

After Qi Congyuan returned to his room, he obviously wanted to read a book to pass the time, but for some reason, a figure always appeared in his mind.

Lian...Qing.

Qi Congyuan slowly recited the name.

As far as he could remember, there was only one person with the surname Lian in Chen State.

So, what does Lian Qing have to do with him?

"Tsk..."

Qi Congyuan shook his head. Why was he distracted again?

"Shh!"

Qi Congyuan finally put down the book in his hand and picked up his sword.

"Sir."

When Xiaolu came in, he saw Qi Congyuan practicing swordplay in the yard.

"Why are you practicing swordsmanship all of a sudden?"

"I'm a little irritated." Qi Congyuan took the teacup from Xiaolu and took a big gulp. "Another cup."

"Is the prince upset about what the prince said?" Xiaolu poured another cup of tea and handed it to Qi Congyuan.

"No." Qi Congyuan sat down. "Xiaolu, you... forget it."

Qi Congyuan swallowed the words he was about to ask, and then picked up the sword and started practicing again.

But the more I practiced, the more irritated I became.

"Tsk..."

Qi Congyuan stopped moving.

"Xiao Lu, do you know who the girl I met today was?" Qi Congyuan finally asked the question in his heart.

"I don't know." Xiao Lu shook his head. "Why did the prince suddenly ask this?"

No way, could the prince really be interested in the third daughter of the Prime Minister's family? The prince had just instructed that the prince should not have any contact with people from the Prime Minister's family, and the prince asked about it right after.

We've only met once, right? And under those circumstances! Prince, you...

Can't you?

"fine."

He forgot that Xiaolu was younger than him, so how could he know.

Let’s not cause any unnecessary trouble when we come to Kyoto this time.

He believed that if fate allowed them to, they would meet again.
