Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

Hua Buyan knew that Huo Jingya was in trouble because someone in the Black Armor Army informed him.

When he arrived, he happened to run into Huanxi, who was about to do something filthy to him, so he saved him.

He was informed that Lu Xun had just returned to the manor to kill Huo Jingya. Although the specifics were unknown, Lu Xun had never failed.

Hua Buyan's mind went completely blank.

But now, they're saying, "Xiaoya isn't dead?"

He continued to look at the Grand Princess without saying a word.

The prince ran in.

Her eyes ached: "Yan'er, this time, listen to your grandmother!"

In the past, when he displeased his grandmother, his father would always say a few words in his defense, though it was no use.

This time, his father told him to listen to his grandmother.

Hua Buyan shifted his body, and the Prince quickly reached out and pulled him up.

"Someone, help the young master change his clothes and bandage his wounds!"

Where is Xiaoyu?

Xiaoyu was beaten outside.

The prince ordered his men to stop.

Xiaoyu ran in, knelt on the ground, and crawled to Hua Buyan's side while crying.

Half of the people in the room were kneeling, but there was no sign of the two maids.

Hua Buyan knew that they had already been dealt with.

He felt very cold.

This house, this magnificent mansion, is suffocating.

Everyone is powerless, manipulated, and led toward death or a magnificent cage.

He then thought of the days he spent traveling with Huo's army.

Even the lowest-ranking soldier can laugh and curse loudly, full of life and energy.

And the few days I spent living with Xiaoya in the courtyard, with its simple meals and everyday warmth, even in the cold winter.

In this bright and spacious room, Hua Buyan felt like an earthworm buried in the soil.

He wanted to crawl out and see the sunlight.

But he was born of the soil, grew up in the soil, and will eventually rot in the soil and become part of the soil.

I really want to blow this whole place up!

His eyes were dull and lifeless.

The Grand Princess was exhausted, and the news and events of the day had made her lose patience with her grandson.

She kicked everyone out.

His face was disappointed and cold.

"what on earth do you want?"

"Hua Buyan, do you know who you are? Do you know what's going on outside?!"

"Is a woman more important than family, more important than the world?"

"Grandma is getting old, Grandma can't hold on much longer, do you know that?"

Under the bright lamplight, the Grand Princess's wrinkled face and her full head of white hair were clearly reflected.

She has indeed aged without her realizing it.

No matter how luxurious the clothes or hairpins, they can't add any color to the outfit.

Isn't she just another earthworm?

"Yan'er, have you forgotten... how your grandmother raised you little by little, how she taught you to speak, and how she protected you from being bullied among a group of royal princes?"

"In the end, you grew more and more estranged from your grandmother, and she became the villain."

“Grandmother,” Hua Buyan blurted out, “Then don’t hold on! We…”

"Slap!" He was slapped hard across the face.

A noticeable five-finger mark appeared on his fair face.

The Grand Princess trembled uncontrollably, and finally gritted her teeth as she asked, "What about the Hua family members and the royal family? Are they just going to abandon them?"

“The Huo family are not people who kill indiscriminately,” he said stubbornly.

"you you!"

The Grand Princess closed her eyes tightly.

When he opened his eyes again, there were swirling clouds in them.

“If, if they really can let everyone go, then Grandmother might consider it.”

Grandma has heard you talk about it many times, so it's not like she hasn't thought about it.

The fear is that they'll agree to it to your face, but afterwards secretly use various means to make the descendants of the previous dynasty disappear without a trace.

Didn't their Yan ancestors do just that back then?

“Grandmother, the Huo family are upright and honest people, you should know that best.”

Hua Buyan's eyes flickered. He racked his brains, trying to think of something that could persuade the Grand Princess.

He said that the Huo family did not harm any civilians during their siege.

He said that the Huo family's suppression of Buddhism was to relieve the suffering of the people.

They were said to have swept all the way with unstoppable momentum, because the towering tree of the Yan family had long been ravaged and hollowed out.

It is said that this is an inevitable trend.

He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.

I said a lot.

The Grand Princess's gaze grew increasingly strange, and tears even welled up in her eyes.

"Yan'er, Grandma knew you were very smart, very smart."

However, he never focused his mind on scheming or bringing prosperity to his family.

"It's getting late, you should get some rest. Your grandmother will think it over carefully."

"Grandmother said before that she would give you a Black Armor Guard. Now I think you are fully capable of doing it. Go to Grandmother's place first thing tomorrow morning."

"Also, since you don't like having maids around, Grandmother doesn't send anyone over anymore."

Now that you're older, your preferences should be settled, and Grandma won't interfere anymore.

Hua Buyan was somewhat stunned.

Finally, what does "grandmother" mean?

The Grand Princess rubbed her forehead and decided not to linger any longer.

She wore a large cloak, but the oppressive feeling of the mountains she used to feel was gone.

She's lost weight and aged.

Perhaps, as she said, she won't be able to hold on for much longer.

"Grandmother, please take care of yourself."

A look of disbelief appeared in the eyes of the Grand Princess.

These words echoed the soft, sweet voice of a child from my early childhood.

"Grandmother, please don't overwork yourself, you should get some rest."

"Grandmother, you must stay young forever, and Yan'er can stay young forever."

"May my grandmother live to be several hundred years old."

When did these everyday conversations between grandparents and grandchildren disappear?

It was because Yan'er didn't want to go to the Imperial Academy, because she threw away those quirky and amusing things, and because she hired ten tutors.

Yan'er was becoming increasingly dull-witted, and in her anger, she whipped her...

Finally, Huo Jingya appeared and led him off on a wild run...

Princess Da Chang opened her mouth to relieve the soreness in her throat.

However, his gaze turned cold again in an instant.

She wasn't wrong.

She was the Grand Princess, the head of the guards protecting the Yan royal family.

Hua Buyan will take over her responsibilities in the future.

His carefree life and the affection between his children were all built on the foundation of his sufficient strength.

A fledgling bird can't even protect itself; those things will only break its wings!

"Lu Xun, you failed to kill the man, and the Crown Prince found out. You will be punished tomorrow!"

"Yes, I know my mistake."

The Crown Prince is too naive. The Yan royal family has ruled Dongyang for three hundred years, and all the powerful clans have an inextricable connection with the royal family.

He wanted the Hua family to submit to the Huo family, but other families wouldn't agree!

Moreover, the Grand Princess is the protector of the country; how could she hand over her family's empire to others?

The emperor can only have the surname Yan!
