Chapter 147
Zhuo Ran's face looked calm, Wei Xun knew that he shouldn't speak out at this time, and thought it would be fine as long as Zhuo Ran went in alone, but he still thought about Zhuo Ran's safety, so he quietly followed behind Zhuo Ran, seeing that she was so light Carefully bypassed all the organs, but never dared to retreat carelessly.

As if he didn't want to recall any more, Zhuo Ran didn't stop and went directly to the study.When they left that day, the General's Mansion was set on fire, and the study room was the most burned. Zhuo Ran pushed open the door, and thick dust came covering the sky, and it took her a long time to recover from the choking.

"You can help to find it too." Zhuo Ran looked back at Wei Xun and said, "Be careful."

Wei Xun nodded when he heard the sound, and searched for the inside of the study.Zhuo Ran looked around, everything in front of her was extremely familiar, she knew what those book remnants were at a glance, and she knew when Zhuo Yi showed them to her.She stretched out her fingers and pulled out the hidden compartment, and there were still a few yellowed books that were well preserved, but these were Zhuo Ting's favorite military books. Zhuo Ran flipped through them and looked at them, then put them back as they were.

She didn't expect to find any imperial decree here, and she didn't hope to find it, it was too ridiculous, even if she found it, it was not what she imagined, Zhuo Ran looked back at Wei Xun's back.

"Girl..." Wei Xun's eyes showed surprise, and he looked back at Zhuo Ran: "This!"

Zhuo Ran took a few steps forward, Wei Xun handed the things to Zhuo Ran with both hands, bowed his head and said, "Miss, take a look."

Zhuo Ran frowned slightly, so there was no imperial decree, it was just a piece of rag.Zhuo Ran patted the dust on it, and after unfolding it, she found that there were words embroidered on the cloth, which was Queen Yu Jing's will.

"—Princess Nanxiang, born in a time of chaos, now enters a place without borders, I hope that she will recognize her ancestors and return to her clan in the future, and revive Nanhuan—"

It can be seen that it is a bright yellow cloth, perhaps it is the corner of a swaddle.Zhuo Ran frowned slightly, and said: "I thought the imperial decree would have a seal, why is this..." perfunctory.

Moreover, this decree was clearly made early in the morning, otherwise, the situation was so urgent, how could it be embroidered on it.Either it was fake, or Empress Yu Jing had noticed it a long time ago, and she had already thought about where Nanxiang should go.But no matter what, she guessed one thing correctly, that is, Empress Yu Jing must have something to do with Zhuo Ting.

"Master said," Wei Xun looked at Zhuo Ran, and said, "I brought Princess Nanxiang with me that day. When Queen Yu Jing handed Princess Nanxiang to my master, the princess's baby It's stuffed in. Because I'm too careful, even Taifu Han doesn't know."

Zhuo Ran wanted to refute something, but found that there was nothing to refute.She was very clear about what Wei Xun meant. Didn't it mean that she was the one who reminded her that this thing was brought out of the palace.

Recognize ancestors?Zhuo Ran couldn't help but smile wryly, it's now, how to recognize and return to the ancestors.In the past few years, the general situation of the world has changed again and again, and there is no law at all, so what can she do.

"Father...Master..." Zhuo Ran frowned and said, "No one has mentioned this to me? Why?"

Wei Xun stood up straight and said, "Young lady should also know that hiding the imperial decree of the previous pilgrimage is a serious crime against the nine clans. If one or two people know about it, they will keep it secret. Everyone's life will be safe, but if it gets out, There is bound to be an uproar.”

Zhuo Ran looked at him: "I don't even have the right to know?"

"Miss, this...recognizes that you are the princess of Nanxiang?"

Zhuo Ran stuffed things into her sleeve pockets and walked out, saying: "I didn't admit it. My life was thrown into other people's hands like this. If I really have to admit it, wouldn't it be too bad for me."

Wei Xun followed Zhuo Ran out, he couldn't understand Zhuo Ran's words, but he knew that now he could only follow Zhuo Ran closely and think of other ways.At least now that Zhuo Ran knows that she is Nan Xiang, she can't run away.

As winter approached, Gaodu was filled with awe.

Wen Rongxi's wound was in severe pain, and he was not very peaceful in his sleep. He subconsciously grabbed something and woke himself up in a daze.

"Yan Shu..." Yan Chengxuan called softly, reached out to grab Wen Rongxi's hand that was holding onto his sleeve, his face gradually revealed joy, and said, "You finally woke up..."

Wen Rongxi half-closed his eyes, and took a long time to see Yan Chengxuan clearly.He raised his neck and wanted to sit up, but Yan Chengxuan pressed him on the couch: "The injury is not healed yet, don't move."

"You..." Wen Rongxi looked at him with strange eyes, he was a little uncomfortable with Yan Chengxuan's appearance, obviously Yan Chengxuan had been so kind before, but now he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Wen Rongxi smiled at him, and lovingly supported the back of his neck to feed him some water, and watched Wen Rongxi recover completely before pulling the quilt around his waist to cover it.

"What you told me was not like this from the beginning..." Wen Rongxi raised his hand, Yan Chengxuan passed his arm over to let him grab it, and after listening to the second half of his sentence: "Why, why do you have to do this kind of thing?" Where?"

"To what extent?" Yan Chengxuan felt the strength of Wen Rongxi's grip on his forearm, and he frowned slightly: "I just did what we agreed on. The six major cities are now under my control, and I am the new owner of Dayu. Isn't that good?"

Wen Rongxi's pupils shrank suddenly: "You want to usurp the throne?!"

"Yan Shu..." Yan Chengxuan slowed down his tone, patted the back of his hand lightly, and said: "You are really sick and confused, Emperor Chongwen has passed away, I am not usurping the throne, I will be an emperor logically."

"You can't do..."

"That's because you haven't seen me do it yet." Yan Chengxuan leaned over, smiled lightly, and said, "I thought I would pick you up after I had finished everything, but that person Li Yuchuan brought you here ahead of time." If you didn’t come back to save me, how could you have been injured so badly.”

Wen Rongxi shook his head: "I saved you, I didn't save you..."

Yan Chengxuan frowned.

"Why, why do you insist on being the emperor? Why do you use such despicable methods?"

"Despicable?" Yan Chengxuan asked back.

"Although your Majesty is weak, he will not die suddenly," Wen Rongxi said in a hoarse voice, "Even if the cold illness could kill him, it will never be so tragic. You have given your Majesty and Concubine Lan a blow." Poison, right?"

Yan Chengxuan was not overly surprised: "Our Yan Shu is smart."

"Yan Chengxuan!" Wen Rongxi sat up with his arms in a hurry, Yan Chengxuan was startled by his movements, Wen Rongxi's complexion became paler, and his eyes widened: "What I want you to do is not this! You can expand the Yan family Power, but why do you insist on taking this road, how disappointed will you be if the husband knows?"

"Disappointed?" Yan Chengxuan held Wen Rongxi's shoulder and said sharply: "He will never be disappointed with me! Yan Shu, you haven't forgotten about Kang Sheng'an, right? I killed him to erase a stain in my father's heart , he is not qualified to ask me about whether he is despicable or not. It is very sensible for me to keep him in the deep palace and ask those people to talk to him, so you better not persuade me."

Wen Rongxi smiled at him: "Second Young Master... Do you think it's right for you to do this?"

"What's wrong?" Yan Chengxuan asked him: "You pick one of my mistakes and see!"

"You shouldn't do anything to His Majesty Concubine Lan, you shouldn't imprison the left and right ministers, you shouldn't target the throne, you shouldn't act so radically, and you shouldn't," Wen Rongxi met his eyes: "You shouldn't lie to me."

Yan Chengxuan smiled and said, "I didn't lie to you. I asked you a word when you left that day, do you remember?"

Wen Rongxi turned her head: "I've forgotten it a long time ago."

Yan Chengxuan was silent for a long while, then nodded to himself, he let go of Wen Rongxi's shoulders, and said softly: "Then think about it carefully, you can rest here during this period, and when I deal with the previous matters, you will be satisfied." came to find you."

Wen Rongxi picked up the pillow and threw it over, Yan Chengxuan didn't dodge, he glanced at Wen Rongxi, and said softly: "Be careful of the wound opening, I will have to find a doctor to see it for you, better behave yourself."

Wen Rongxi took a few breaths, and heard that the moment the palace door closed, he punched the bedding.

Qingxiang and Luanying were waiting for Yan Chengxuan outside the hall, seeing that he was a little unhappy when he came out, so they waited for Yan Chengxuan's order without opening their mouths.

"Luanying." Yan Chengxuan glanced at her and said, "You should take care of Yan Shu here for the next few days. If he is not fully injured, don't tell him about the outside world."

Luanying nodded slightly: "Yes."

"Haruka, follow me." Yan Chengxuan walked out of the palace gate and turned to the other side of the palace. Qingxiang followed behind, and Yan Chengxuan said, "How are those Habayashi guards? Are they still the same as before?"

Qingxiang said "Yes", and said: "Wu Shilang tried his best to persuade them, and the second young master didn't want to hurt these people, so if he didn't come hard, it would take longer."

Yan Chengxuan lowered his eyes, and said: "I still cherish my talents. If they don't waver, I'll show them as an example. Anyway, there is no shortage of them in the garrison."

"Yes." Haruka looked at Yan Chengxuan's back and lowered her head.

"By the way, Second Young Master," Qingxiang said, "Master Jiang Rulan and Liu Jijiu returned to Gaodu from Luo City. It was Wu Shilang who brought them in. Does Second Young Master want to see them?"

Yan Chengxuan looked back halfway: "Aren't they with Xiong Zhenghao? Xiong Zhenghao ran away with Li Xunchuan, what are they doing back? Could it be that Li Xunchuan thought they were cumbersome, so they flew away so soon?"

"Then, when will the Second Young Master meet them?"

Yan Chengxuan thought for a while and said, "Later, I'll go see my father first."

Xu Zheng had been ill for the past few days, so Yan Yingzhen sent back many people for him. He knew that things would definitely not be so simple. Yan Chengxuan must understand who came and said what. Yan Chengxuan's eyes were transparent.

So there is nothing to hide.

Yan Chengxuan sat opposite Yan Yingzhen, this was the first time Yan Chengxuan dared to sit with his father like this, with emotions he had never had before, a feeling of disrespect and disfilial piety.

"Father has been negotiating with those people for so long, what is the result?" Yan Chengxuan's fingertips still had the bitter smell of Wen Rongxi. After sniffing lightly, he curled his hands into his sleeves and looked up at Yan Yingzhen.

"Didn't you already know?" Yan Yingzhen said coldly.

"I also understand that my father definitely doesn't want me to be the target of public criticism. I don't care if it's because of his concern for his son, or because of his loyalty and loyalty. I don't want this country to fall into the hands of outsiders. My son will thank my father first." Yan Chengxuan said: "But my father's worries are completely unnecessary to me. My son understands what he wants to do, and my father doesn't need to work hard."

Yan Yingzhen frowned and looked at Yan Chengxuan: "You..."

"Father," Yan Chengxuan said, "I didn't arrange you and Youxiang Haosheng here to turn my life around for me. You can play the role of suppressing tigers here, and this is where a father can help his son. "

"It's impossible for Da Xiye to let you imprison the prime minister, aren't you afraid?"

Yan Chengxuan said: "Why am I afraid? Father thinks it is Da Xiye who runs faster or the knife I hold in my hand? He is just a waste with a broken arm, what can I do? If I want to kill the right minister, he can only yell and curse in secret. For the sake of it, can you threaten me in the slightest?"

"Is that why you want to be emperor?" Yan Yingzhen raised her voice.

"I don't want to!" Yan Chengxuan stood up and said, "But now I have to think! My sister was taken away by Ye Ji, and I killed Ye Lanyi. Do you think she can let me go, can she let me go? I We must sit at the highest position to attack Xiqi and bring Sister back!"

Yan Yingzhen shook her head: "If you killed Ye Lanyi, wouldn't Ye Ji kill your sister?!"

"A tiger's poison does not eat its children!" Yan Chengxuan said anxiously: "You only think about other people, Yan Qingyao is your daughter! My sister, you don't save me! I finally know what kind of person you are, Yong Niang and Kang Sheng An is sad, and my sister and I are also sad, all these pains were brought to us by you alone! You are not worthy of being a father!"

"You are presumptuous!" Yan Yingzhen's body trembled like a sieve, he stood up with the table, and said sharply: "If you don't attack Ye Lanyi, how could Ye Ji take your sister away!"

Yan Chengxuan approached Yan Yingzhen, looked at his furious expression and said softly: "I'm learning from my father. The blue is better than the blue. Doesn't the father like the saying that he can't bear to let his children not be caught by wolves? My son regards it as a golden rule, and he will always remember it." in the heart."

Yan Yingzhen's eyes widened.

"Actually, it's all right." Yan Chengxuan took two steps back and said, "Ye Ji is a general after all. She has principles and won't kill my sister. I have a way to make Xiqi surrender to me first. Then my sister will be safe and sound." .”

"You're dreaming!" Yan Yingzhen sneered: "Is the emperor you want to be? Do you think the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will agree?"

"The emperor has no more heirs..." Yan Chengxuan lowered his voice and said, "Who can tell. Father, let's see how I became emperor."

After saying that, Yan Chengxuan turned his head and glanced at Yan Yingzhen. Before seeing his father so anxious, he would only be frightened, but now this feeling is gone, and all that is left is pleasure.

"Father," Yan Chengxuan said softly, "the ancients have a very correct saying. If the son does not teach, it is the fault of the father..."

***
When Li Xunchuan and his party arrived in Yuzhou, the news spread to hundreds of thousands, and Ye Ji couldn't stop it even though she was powerless, so it naturally reached Ye Wei's ears.

He was already very angry when he learned that Ye Lanyi died and Ye Ji defected with Li Yanchuan. Fortunately, he heard that Li Yanchuan and Ye Ji acted separately. Qi, but now hearing that Li Xunchuan broke into Yuzhou, he was so anxious that he couldn't stand at all.

Ye Ji stopped Ye Wei from doing anything else, so Ye Wei put up Xiao Fengwang's airs.

"Xiqi is not a precious place. If Gaodu thinks, it would be easy to crush Xiqi to death. Why do you stop me?"

Ye Ji didn't want to explain to Ye Wei, but just said: "Master Hou crossing the border into Yongzhou has nothing to do with our Xiqi, father don't have to worry. Gaodu is in such a mess, why would you consider Xiqi?"

"You said you don't have to worry, so you don't have to worry?" Ye Wei was about to go crazy, and said, "Hurry up and go back to Gaodu to explain, and say that everything is unavoidable, and you are being persecuted."

"Father." Ye Ji frowned, and said, "Gaodu is leaderless now, and there is no energy left to pursue Xiqi's responsibility. I don't understand what you are worried about? I didn't bring back my sister's body, but at least I have to do it for her." Let's set up a memorial tablet, what are you so anxious about these things now?"

"You..." Ye Wei waited for Ye Ji: "Dead wood cannot be carved."

"Father," Ye Ji looked at Ye Wei and said softly, "Don't you feel any pain when your sister is gone? She is your daughter..."

Ye Wei pulled Ye Ji's arm and said: "You child, how can I not be sad, but your sister is too cowardly, she has given birth to a prince, how could she be robbed by someone? It's a big mess, it's really a pity..."

"Heh..." Ye Ji pulled her lips and smiled, but there was no smile but a bit of grief: "Father is right, it is a pity. It is a pity that my sister was born as your daughter, so it is not worth a good word." ..."

Fortunately, the letter she sent to Gaodu mentioned Ye Wei's worry and concern for Ye Lanyi, but Ye Wei didn't understand her thoughts at all.The more she felt the pain, the more she felt worthless. She had created a lot of good things for Ye Lanyi. When Ye Lanyi died, she didn't know that her father never cared about her for a moment.

Ye Ji held back her tears, Ye Lanyi was lucky to be married to Gaodu, she immediately felt relieved when she thought of this.Ye Lanyi is not miserable, at least she found the love of her life in Gaodu, and tasted the taste of love with Chu Shiyu. If she stayed in Xiqi and saw Ye Wei like this, she would be even more disappointed.

Ye Ji turned around and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Ye Wei looked at her inexplicably.Ye Ji said: "Father, you listen to me. Don't ask what Lord Hou did, and don't worry about what Gao will do to us, just leave everything to me. What father has to do..."

Ye Wei blinked.

"...Stay well in Dacheng County, don't go anywhere, don't care about anything."

"But……"

Ye Ji threw off her cloak, and strode towards the outside of the hall.She wanted to hold back the unbearable tears, but she accidentally wet her clothes with it.Ye Ji looked at the sky outside the hall, which was Ye Lanyi's favorite place.

Wan Ze looked at Ye Ji with a worried expression.

"General..."

Ye Ji closed her eyes, let the tears slide down and showed traces, and said in a deep voice, "Set up a spiritual seat, and wear plain clothes."
