Chapter 117 The East Palace
The East Palace is the residence of the crown prince of a country, and only the crown prince can live in it.

There is also the East Palace in Yongguo, but no one has lived in it for a long time.

Generally speaking, the princes are the sons of the empress, so in the past, even though Xiao Yan was Xiao Ji'an's only prince, he was not registered as the prince.

Wei Rudai is the emperor's favorite concubine known throughout the country, while Xiao Ji'an's first wife, Li Shi, has always been a dispensable empress. She is the daughter of a minister of the Qing Dynasty and has no power in her family. She has neither family background nor children. , has been confined in the deep palace, without any sense of existence.

People in the palace rumored that Mrs. Li would not live to be 40 years old, and Concubine Xiang was definitely the next queen.

Xiao Yan studied the etiquette of poetry and calligraphy, and knew that as a prince, he should pay his respects to the queen.

Mrs. Li is a gentle woman with extraordinary beauty, but she is indeed weak and sick.

She likes children very much, and every time Xiao Yan came to greet her, she was very happy, but when Xiao Ji'an found out, he secretly said to Xiao Yan, the queen is sick, you don't have to go often, don't let her get mad at you.

Li Shi once told him, who seemed to understand but half understood, that before she died of illness, she persuaded the emperor to support sister Wei as the queen, let him live in the East Palace, and become the prince.

Until that time, after Xiao Yan went to greet Mrs. Li, she saw Xiao Ji'an sneaking in. For some reason, Mrs. Li suddenly hid him behind the screen and told him not to make a sound.

He saw Xiao Ji'an stroking Li Shi's lower abdomen, and said in a gentle tone he had never heard before:
"Wan'er, the imperial doctor said that our child is a boy. When he is born, I will designate him as the prince. When he grows up, I will definitely cure your illness. We will live forever, stay away from the world, and be a child." To the fairy couple."

Li's voice was already in a frenzy, she seemed to glance at the screen, and said: "Your Majesty, this concubine does not want to live forever, and this concubine's body may not be blessed to conceive this child. The crown prince is the foundation of a country, and Yan'er is nine years old You are old, you should have made him the crown prince earlier."

Xiao Yan was on the other side of the screen, watching this scene, gently raised his hand, wanting to touch Xiao Ji'an.

Is there a younger brother in Li Shi's stomach?

He is going to be a brother?
He didn't care if he could be registered as the prince, he just thought, when he was still in the womb of his mother and concubine, was he ever so gently caressed by his father?Mother and concubine are so indifferent to him, but father, at least he cares about him.

Then, Xiao Yan heard Xiao Ji'an's cold and gloomy voice: "That child is a monster. How could I allow him to be the crown prince? Besides, Wei Rudai is from the royal family of the Jin Kingdom. My throne will only be passed on to the people of the Yong Kingdom. Our child, Wan'er, you don't have to say such words in the future."

Xiao Yan opened his eyes wide, and put his small hands together to cover his ears, but the voice had already been firmly imprinted in his mind, no matter what, he couldn't get it out, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Mrs. Li sighed a long time: "Okay, Your Majesty calm down, I just need to take good care of my body."

After Xiao Ji'an left, Mrs. Li walked behind the screen and looked at Xiao Yan.

"Yan'er, you can see now that he doesn't love your mother and concubine at all, nor does he love you."

Xiao Yan felt cold all over, and asked tremblingly: "Empress, why did you tell me this?"

"Because, I hope you can tell Concubine Xiang about this." Li Shi said seriously.

Xiao Yan shook his head, recalling Wei Rudai's indifference towards him: "No, mother and concubine won't believe me, let alone...maybe the emperor is lying to you too?"

Li bent down and gently touched Xiao Yan's hair, his eyes were full of sadness and pity.

"What a smart kid. You've already understood so much at such a young age, but since you said 'yes', it proves that you actually believe what I said in your heart, doesn't it?"

Li Shi's words pierced his heart like a sharp sword.

"Why...why?" Xiao Yan still asked in a low voice, his amber eyes were covered with mist, confused and gloomy.

Why does the concubine hate him so much?Don't see him?Why does the normally gentle father also say that he is a monster?

He was already very obedient, obediently taking medicine, obediently getting injured, obediently obeying his father's words, and living in that dark room.

Li Shi stood up and raised her eyes to look in one direction.

That is the direction of the palace gate.

She said slowly and seriously: "Because, I have already seen that he is a lunatic, because, I hate him!"

She didn't care if Xiao Yan understood, but later, Xiao Yan understood.

When the child in Empress Li's womb was seven months old, Xiao Jixing murdered Xiao Ji'an, murdered his brother and usurped the throne, and led troops into the palace.

Immediately, Xiao Jixing personally led a group of tiger and cardinal troops to the queen's palace.

But what he saw was the frozen corpse of the queen.

She was killed by the eunuchs around her, the wound was on her abdomen, one corpse, two lives.

Xiao Jixing looked up to the sky and screamed, calling "Wan'er" in grief.

Only then did Xiao Yan understand why Li Shi said that Xiao Ji'an was a lunatic.

……

The East Palace of Yong Kingdom is empty.

The Eastern Palace of the Jin Kingdom was filled with countless bloodshed and scrambles.

As for Yan Kingdom's East Palace, the first thing Yan Kingdom Emperor Chu Tingxiao did when he ascended the throne four years ago was to confer the second prince, Chu Ye, as the crown prince. Afterwards, Chu Ye moved into the East Palace.

So far, the prince has both ability and political integrity, and his reputation has spread far and wide. From the civil and military officials to the countryside, they all praise them for having a good prince.

"You don't need to talk to me if you are polite." Chu Ye looked at Xiao Yan in front of him, "Mr. Xiao was only a little short of this position back then. I am no different from you except for the country."

"Okay, then His Royal Highness might as well take a look at these."

Xiao Yan nodded, calmly took out the documents that recorded the criminal evidence of the Fan family, and after handing them to Chu Ye, subconsciously straightened his back.

This young man is the elder brother of the princess.

When Chu Ye learned that Xiao Yan came to the East Palace to find him, he was still very surprised, and he always felt that this person was deep in thought and didn't want to have anything to do with him.

When Chu Ye thought of Chu Yi's attitude towards him, his temples twitched.

If he wasn't a calm and self-sufficient prince, he would definitely drive Xiao Yan out of the East Palace, preferably in Shangjing, so that Chu Yi would never have any contact with this dangerous boy again!
But he was a calm and wise man, and he decided to bear it for a while.

Chu Ye took the thick stack of documents, opened the first page, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

Xiao Yan stood beside him, looking at the prince's study.

The interior of the study is simple yet elegant, and the files on the table are also neatly placed. On the wall behind is a plaque with gold letters on a black background. The inscription "Harmony with light and dust" should be a gift from the imperial pen.

Chu Ye looked at the Fan family's criminal evidence and took a deep breath, which indicated that he was not at peace.

He sat back in his seat, and seriously, flipped through them one by one without missing a single word.

After an incense stick of time passed, Chu Ye raised his head: "Young Master Xiao, I will not ask you where you found these, but want to know why you are looking for these."
