Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring

In just three days, a bloody storm swept through the capital.

The former subordinates of the late Duke Jiang personally accused him of colluding with the enemy and betraying the country. Coupled with the map of the northern border city defenses and the evidence that Duke Jiang had been transferring gold to the enemy country for many years, it was enough to convict the Jiang family of treason.

There's also the old case from fifteen years ago involving the Wang family, and the truth is slowly coming to light.

The instigator of all this was the Chiang family.

Jiang Laoguogong fabricated evidence of the Wang family's treason to cover up his own crimes, which not only caused the soldiers in the northern border to die tragically, but also caused the entire Wang family to perish.

With witnesses and physical evidence appearing together, Emperor Qing'an was furious and ordered the Jiang family's property to be confiscated, and all members of the Jiang family were thrown into prison.

Such a shocking case not only shocked the government and the public, but also spread widely among the people.

Soon, not only did court officials request Emperor Qing'an to severely punish the Jiang family to appease the people, but also petitions from the common people appeared, urging Emperor Qing'an to quickly punish the traitors.

The Chiang family was clearly on its last legs.

Yan Huaiji was imprisoned in the mansion and could not go anywhere. Even if he wanted to save the Jiang family, he was powerless to do so.

Moreover, the Jiang family was convicted in just three days. With such swift and decisive action, who could possibly interfere with the outcome of this matter?

Except for the person sitting on the dragon throne.

Yan Huaiji slumped into a chair, muttering, "Father, how much of this was your doing?"

The deposed crown prince's residence was located in the westernmost corner of the capital, far from the palace, in a secluded corner. A huge iron lock was placed on the gate, locking away everything inside.

Emperor Qing'an's decision to exile Yan Jinyu here reveals his true intentions—he has already abandoned this son.

But today, this abandoned and desolate former residence of the Crown Prince has welcomed Gao Gonggong, the most trusted eunuch by Emperor Qing'an's side.

Eunuch Gao glanced at the old, rotten plaque in front of the deposed crown prince's residence, which was covered with cobwebs, and sighed inwardly.

He had watched the deposed crown prince grow up.

In the blink of an eye, fifteen years have passed.

This child has lived in such a desolate place all these years.

The long-sealed door has been opened again after fifteen years.

Upon entering, it was not as desolate as I had imagined.

Although weeds grew in the yard, it seemed to have been taken care of and was not messy; on the contrary, it had a touch of wild charm.

Walking through the long corridor, one sees that the mansion is not cluttered at all, but rather very tidy.

Standing under the eaves, Eunuch Gao suddenly saw a young man approaching from afar. He was handsome with clear features and an extraordinary air about him. He was holding a broom and had a withered vine stuck in his hair.

As you get closer, you can see that the young man is dressed in a white robe. The material is very ordinary, and the cuffs and hem are washed white. There is no decoration on his body except for a tassel hanging from his waist.

Such a fair-skinned young man, dressed so roughly, is like a pearl covered in dust, making one feel a sense of regret for no reason.

Upon closer inspection, Eunuch Gao felt that the eyebrows and eyes were so familiar, and he could vaguely see a resemblance to Emperor Qing'an in his youth.

Having a guess in mind, Eunuch Gao stepped forward and came to the young man.

Someone blocked her way, so Yan Jinyu stopped.

"Who are you? Why have you come here?" he asked calmly.

The eunuch bowed and said respectfully, "Your Highness, His Majesty has sent this old servant to escort you back to the palace."

Although Yan Jinyu was deposed, Emperor Qing'an did not remove him from the imperial genealogy. In fact, he was still the eldest son of the Great Yan Emperor.

With his head bowed, Eunuch Gao couldn't see the young man's expression, but he heard him say, "Your Highness? It's been a long time since anyone called me that."

His tone contained self-deprecation, nostalgia, and a hint of disdain.

Grandpa Gao was very careful, and his back was even straighter.

With the Wang family's case overturned, this prince will become incredibly powerful. However, despite spending only a short time with him, Eunuch Gao felt from the bottom of his heart that he was difficult to get along with.

But thinking about it, this prince was imprisoned here when he was young, for a full fifteen years, without any contact with the outside world. It's normal that he has a strange personality.

"Are you here to pick me up?" Yan Jinyu asked.

With a forced smile, Eunuch Gao said, "Indeed, Your Highness, please come in."

Yan Jinyu remained noncommittal, only saying, "Wait here for a while, I have something to do."

"Please do as you please, Your Highness," said Eunuch Gao.

Then, Eunuch Gao watched helplessly as the prince walked past him, through the corridor, and to a peach tree in the courtyard.

The peach tree was in full bloom, with thick branches and a profusion of blossoms. When the wind blew, the petals fell to the ground in a colorful display.

Grandpa Gao and his entourage stood aside, watching the young man pick up a broom and sweep away the petals on the ground bit by bit.

The young man had a slightly hunched back, a standard sweeping posture. Only the serious look in his eyes made those who didn't know him think he was doing something important, when in fact he was just sweeping.

"Godfather, His Majesty is still waiting in the palace," the little eunuch behind Eunuch Gao couldn't help but say.

The old man lowered his voice, "Don't say anything, just wait quietly."

The young eunuch immediately shut his mouth and lowered his head.

Yan Jinyu quietly swept the floor until all the petals were gathered together and piled up before he put the broom away.

Eunuch Gao hurried to his side, "Your Highness, shall we depart?"

Yan Jinyu didn't say anything, but simply propped the broom in her hand next to the peach tree.

He took one last look at the courtyard and then said, "Let's go."

After saying that, Yan Jinyu left without looking back.

Eunuch Gao beckoned the little eunuchs behind him to follow, and they went after Yan Jinyu.

In the palace, Emperor Qing'an lay on his side on the bed, his sharp eyes fixed on the young man in front of him.

Yes, Yan Jinyu looks like him, and also like his mother.

Upon seeing the striking resemblance between Yan Jinyu and Empress Wang, Emperor Qing'an was overcome with grief.

"Jinyu." Emperor Qing'an called out Yan Jinyu's name.

Wo Jin Huai Yu, Yan Jin Yu is his eldest son and the child of his most beloved woman. Emperor Qing'an still remembers how happy he was when Yan Jin Yu was born.

He named him Jinyu, which reflected his high expectations for him.

When Yan Jinyu was young, Emperor Qing'an cherished him very much. He would not only personally teach him his studies, but also hold his shoulders and teach him archery. In the blink of an eye, the child has grown so tall.

“You’ve grown up and gotten taller,” Emperor Qing’an said.

Yan Jinyu's eyes showed little change.

"After all, fifteen years have passed."

Upon hearing Yan Jinyu's words, Emperor Qing'an's expression stiffened.

"Are you blaming me?" Emperor Qing'an blurted out, but as soon as he finished speaking, he added, "It was I who was wrong, so it's only right that you blame me."

"Jinyu, I know I was wrong. Back then, I listened to slander and wrongly accused the Wang family, which also harmed your mother. Can you forgive me?"

Emperor Qing'an spoke with great sincerity, and sorrow appeared in his eyes, as if he was truly heartbroken.

Yan Jinyu found it laughable.

The Wang family, except for Jianzhi, from the old master Wang down to the infants, all died. All the women committed suicide. His mother was also gone. All of this was because of Emperor Qing'an!

Yet he still has the nerve to ask for forgiveness.

“His Majesty is the Son of Heaven; he cannot make a mistake,” Yan Jinyu said.

Emperor Qing'an: "So you're saying you won't forgive me?"

Yan Jinyu lowered her eyes and remained silent.
