Becoming a widow for the sake of good fortune? The short-lived prince lived a hundred years

"Father has already said that it was an accident. How could I attack the prince? Also, this engagement was originally yours. You are not replacing Xueqi!" Yan Xiaozhen was rarely calm.

Yan Xining turned her head, a look of sorrow on her face. "Father, do you believe this? Can a patient withstand a blow to the head like that? Have you ever thought about what I would do if you beat him to death? I used to live in the countryside, and I don't understand anything about the capital. If Prince An is gone, I will die. Father, Xueqi and I are both your daughters. Don't you have any love for me, your biological daughter?"

Yan Xiaozhen seemed touched. His lips moved a few times before he said, "Ning'er, I was wrong, but why would I ever want you to be a widow? The prince is in a coma, and I am extremely worried. The prince will definitely wake up, don't worry!"

"What if he doesn't wake up?" Yan Xining turned her head, tears welling up in her eyelashes.

Yan Xiaozhen sincerely comforted her, "Ning'er, I can guarantee that although I was a little rough, I won't seriously injure the prince. He will wake up. I asked the housekeeper to prepare a lot of precious medicinal herbs. They will all be useful to the prince!"

Yan Xining looked at him suspiciously: "Really?"

"Of course it's true, they were all prescribed by Imperial Physician Qin!"

Yan Xining stopped talking.

Yan Xiaozhen paused for a moment, glanced at the sky outside, and sighed softly, "Ning'er, you and the prince are returning to visit your parents-in-law today. Even if I wanted to let you stay at my house, it wouldn't be possible. After all, newlyweds can't stay outside for a month, otherwise it's unlucky! And considering the prince's situation, I can't take it lightly!"

"What do you mean father?"

Yan Xiaozhen said, "Well, after the housekeeper has prepared all the herbs, I will send someone to take you and the prince back, okay?"

Yan Xining turned around abruptly and sneered, "Father, you think that once the prince returns to the palace, even if he gets hurt by your blow, it won't have anything to do with the Marquisate, right? I thought father really had pity on me, but it turns out that this is what you were planning!"

Yan Xiaozhen felt a chill coming from her eyes. This damn girl had really changed a lot in the past two days. He had thought that if he gave this ignorant country girl some benefits, coaxed her, and frightened her, she would definitely agree.

As long as Chu Jinxun returned to Prince An's Mansion, even if he died in Prince An's Mansion, he could shirk most of the responsibility.

After all, if Prince An died here, he would be suspected of murdering the prince. Even if his Weiyuan Marquisate still had some status in the court, he would still lose his head.

He hurried to comfort her, "Ning'er, don't worry, listen to me. His Highness Prince An has always been in poor health. Even if it weren't for what happened today, it's unknown how long he would have lived. If anything happens to Prince An, you are my daughter. No matter what, I will take care of you and settle your life. But this is premised on the fact that the Weiyuan Marquisate is not affected. You also said that you have no relatives in the capital except your mother's family. If you don't rely on your mother's family, who can you rely on? If you don't rely on your father, who can you rely on?"

After some persuasive talk and emotional appeal, Yan Xining's eyes turned red, her face showed confusion, and her tone became a little uncertain: "Really?"

"Of course it's true!" Seeing her tangled and hesitant look, Yan Xiaozhen struck while the iron was hot: "Believe me, your father. What happened today is really just a misunderstanding. I will ask everyone to keep it a secret. Imperial Physician Qin said that the prince will wake up soon. When the prince wakes up, you persuade him to return home early. Your father will not treat you unfairly!"

Yan Xining hesitated: "I can't make the decision on this matter. I can help my father persuade the prince. Let's talk about it after the prince wakes up!"

After that, no matter how hard Yan Xiaozhen tried to persuade her or how he tried to coax her, Yan Xining always acted like she knew nothing, was a weak woman with no opinion of her own, and had to listen to the prince in everything, and she pushed Yan Xiaozhen back weakly.

"Hmm..." A soft hum.

Weiyuan Hou, who still wanted to continue persuading, immediately fell silent, and at the same time, the stone in his heart fell half to the ground.

Yan Xining had already reached the bed and said with surprise, "Your Highness, you're finally awake!"

Chu Jinxun's voice was weak, and he looked at Yan Xiaozhen intently: "Marquis Yan, do you want to kill me?"

Yan Xiaozhen smiled and said, "Your Highness, why would I want to kill you? It's all a misunderstanding, it's all a coincidence. You have to believe me!"

Chu Jinxun put his hand on his forehead and hissed, "If it's not true, why did Marquis Yan use such a harsh hand? I feel dizzy!"

Seeing that his tone had softened, Yan Xiaozhen immediately came over to ask about his well-being, then explained, "Your Highness, Imperial Physician Qin has already seen me and prescribed a prescription. He said it's nothing serious. My dear son-in-law, please don't take it to heart!"

At this time, he was very friendly and humble.

It seemed that he just remembered now that the person in front of him was a prince.

While speaking, he kept winking at Yan Xining.

Yan Xining paused, and under his expectant gaze, she whispered to Chu Jinxun, "Prince, is your injury serious? Are you feeling unwell? Can you return home?"

Chu Jinxun blinked his innocent eyes and rubbed his forehead: "It hurts, it hurts a lot!"

"Father said he has prepared some medicinal herbs, and your injury will heal after you take them!"

Chu Jinxun sighed, "Where in the world is this kind of medicine? It's even more impossible for the Marquis' Mansion to have it. A two-hundred-year-old ginseng, and I have to buy it now! Besides, I can't move my hands and feet, and I'm dizzy. Let's not go back home today! I'm sure my father-in-law won't let me miss a bite of food!"

"All listen to the prince!"

Yan Xiaozhen was quite happy to see Yan Xining was willing to persuade him, but Chu Jinxun had said so much, and he still felt a bit uneasy.

Yan Xiaozhen could only laugh awkwardly a few times. Seeing that Chu Jinxun looked like he had a headache and wanted to sleep, he turned around and left in disappointment.

Outside, Jingqing looked at Yan Xiaozhen several times.

Yan Xiaozhen didn't notice it at first, but when he raised his eyes, his gaze met his.

His eyes moved and he walked over: "Do you have something to say?"

Jing Qing first glanced at the closed door, then at Yan Xiaozhen, and immediately approached him slyly: "My Lord, is my prince awake?"

"woke up!"

Jing Qing asked again: "Do you want the princess to take the prince back to the palace quickly?"

"Do you have any idea?"

Jingqing chuckled, secretly took another step closer, and rubbed his thumb and index finger.

Yan Xiaozhen understood and laughed instead.

If Chu Jinxun was surrounded by people who were not greedy for money and were not easily tempted, he would be difficult to deal with, but this close follower had such a face, and it was obvious that he did such things often.

It just so happened that the purse that Quanzhong had confiscated before was still in his hand, so he threw it to Jingqing.

Jing Qing weighed it up, then lowered his voice with a smile: "My Lord, I'll tell you a secret. I guarantee that the prince will agree to return home immediately!"
