Chapter 99: Seen by Shen Jing Again
"Father doesn't want to see me become powerful, but he also doesn't think about the fact that if I didn't do this, the Second Prince would have eaten me up long ago."

Shen Yuxian was indignant, "Why can the Second Prince win over the nobles under the nose of the Emperor, but I can't? Is it just because I am the Crown Prince?"

Kong Wanhan felt sad. The emperor was wary of her brother and even her son.

She stroked her son's temple lovingly, "Just listen to your father. Your father made you the crown prince, so he must value you. No matter how much he likes the second prince, he didn't make him the crown prince. Don't make your father unhappy."

She was afraid that the emperor would be unhappy and that the supply of food and grass to the border would be cut off, making life even more difficult for her brothers.

Shen Yuxian didn't understand Kong Wanhan's painstaking efforts. His thoughts went back to his childhood when he worked hard to study and learn to read, but his father never praised him. However, the second prince imitated Shen Jing's laziness and got praise from his father.

My father is biased!
Chen Yuxian left the palace and went to Nanhou Mansion to discuss countermeasures with Wei Luoyan, and met Wei Yanyue who was about to leave the mansion.

The little girl's eyes were filled with joy, and she seemed to be doing something happy and interesting.

Shen Yuxian suddenly felt that Wei Yanyue was more to his liking than the dignified Ji Yunchu, and the idea of making Wei Yanyue the Crown Princess crossed his mind.

"Your Highness, what are you looking at?"

When Wei Luoyan heard that the prince was coming to Nanhou Mansion, he came over to greet him in person, but unexpectedly the prince was staring into the distance in a daze.

He looked thoughtfully at Wei Yanyue who disappeared from his sight.

His sister had been out of the house these few days to look after rouge and powder, and he just thought that she was out to relax, after all, Deng Qiqi's matter was really worrying.

Shen Yuxian realized that he was being rude and quickly forced a smile.

"Luo Yan, I heard that you were injured. How is your recovery going?"

When talking about the injury, Wei Luoyan felt angry.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that Ji Yunchu was not yet engaged to the prince, be nice to Ji Yunchu, and then propose to her.

Unexpectedly, he was injured and fell into a coma. After waking up, he learned that the prince had gone to the Duke's Mansion to propose marriage, which made him so angry that he fainted.

Later, he missed Ji Yunchu and went to the dark room to comfort his longing for Ji Yunchu, but found that the dark room had been opened and his favorite painting had been destroyed. He was so angry that he vomited blood.

"Luo Yan, you don't look well. Is your wound hurting again?"

Shen Yuxian supported Wei Luoyan worriedly. Wei Luoyan was his right-hand man and he couldn't let him be broken like the Duke.

Chen Yuxian repeatedly reminded him, "You should take good care of your injuries. You can put aside your official duties for the time being. Don't leave any roots of illness behind."

"It's okay." Wei Luoyan smiled gently, "Sharing the burden for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is what I should do. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made a special trip to Nanhou Mansion to find me, so he must have something important to tell me, but it's okay to tell me."

Chen Yuxian sighed softly, "The Duke is seriously ill, and my father will not allow the Duke's Mansion to be inherited. I want to change to a useful Crown Princess. Luo Yan, do you have any ideas?"

Wei Luoyan felt so ecstatic that he couldn't help coughing excitedly.

"Are you okay?" Shen Yuxian quickly signaled Eunuch Yu to call an imperial physician.

"I'm fine, but it's a little surprising to hear this. Who does the Crown Prince want to marry as his consort?"

Shen Yuxian hesitated. This time he had to consider carefully who would be the Crown Princess.

If his father knew that he had changed the Crown Princess, he would definitely be furious, so he could only change her once, and once the decision was made, it could not be changed.

"I haven't made up my mind yet. Now I just want to cancel the marriage with Ji Yunchu."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has only proposed an engagement, not the Emperor's decree to grant the marriage. In my opinion, this matter is easy to handle. Your Highness the Crown Prince should start with Ji Yunchu and let her propose to cancel the engagement. Then the Emperor will not vent all his anger on you."

Shen Yuxian suddenly understood, "I knew it was right to find you!"

"You just entered the game temporarily and didn't see it clearly. Once you sort out your thoughts, the solution you come up with will definitely be better than mine." Wei Luoyan said with a wry smile.

After the prince broke off the engagement, Ji Yunchu should have known how good he was. Even if the Duke died, he still wanted to marry Ji Yunchu. Shen Yuxian was very satisfied that Wei Luoyan gave him face, and went to the Duke's Mansion with satisfaction.

……

"Miss, the prince went to see Wei Luoyan with a worried look on his face. I don't know what they talked about. When the prince left Nanhou Mansion, he was not unhappy at all and went to the Duke's Mansion excitedly."

Hanyan had just finished her report when Qiaoxin came into the room.

"Miss, the secret guard reported that Wei Yanyue not only saved Lin Jinhu, but also personally paid for Lin Jinhu to stay in an inn, with all the food included."

Ji Anyu peeled the orange slowly with a smile on her face, "What sweet oranges, you guys should try some too."

Hanyan and Qiaoxin looked at each other and shook their heads.

"This is the orange that Master Shen gave you. We dare not eat it. Let's leave it for you to enjoy, young lady."

"Miss!" Qing Wu ran into the house with the invitation in hand, excited. "Someone just delivered an invitation to you outside the door, inviting you to go boating on the lake tomorrow."

Ji Anyu opened the invitation and saw that the person who signed it was Lin Jinhu. She threw the invitation on the table.

Qing Wu picked it up and looked at it. "Why did Lin Jinhu invite you to go boating with him? When we took him away, we didn't tell him about you. We lied to him and said that it was the prince who asked us to do it."

"It's not him, it's Wei Yanyue."

"Wei Yanyue?" Qing Wu was surprised. "Miss, how did you know it was her?"

Ji Anyu smiled but said nothing.

When she was in Nanhou Mansion in her previous life, she wanted to get along well with Wei Yanyue. She read what Wei Yanyue wrote and even imitated Wei Yanyue's handwriting, just to start a conversation with Wei Yanyue.

"Prepare some clothes that will be convenient for running away and wear them tomorrow."

"Ah."

The next day, Ji Anyu took Han Yan, who was good at swimming, to the appointment, and secret guards were hidden around her.

Lin Jinhu saw Ji Anyu appear and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"Brother Jinhu, are you surprised to see me? If you want to say surprised, it should be me. When did Brother Jinhu get out of prison? Who helped you?"

Ji Anyu looked at Lin Jinhu with a harmless expression.

Lin Jinhu straightened his back happily, "Of course it was my personal charm that conquered Wei Yanyue, and she begged her father to rescue me."

Ji Anyu pretended to be shocked, "It was Wei Yanyue who helped. When did Brother Jinhu know Wei Yanyue?"

Lin Jinhu's smile froze, and he didn't want to talk to Ji Anyu about what happened in prison.

He showed his impatience, "What does it have to do with you? Listen to me, next time you meet Wei Yanyue, don't say bad things about me in front of her, so as not to ruin my wise and brave image."

Ji Anyu covered her mouth and chuckled. Look how proud Lin Jinhu was. If Wei Yanyue hadn't been anxious to deal with her, why would she bother with Lin Jinhu?
"Look at Brother Jinhu, could it be that he has fallen in love with Wei Yanyue? Don't worry, not only will I not say bad things about you in front of her, I will even say a few good words for you."

Lin Jinhu frowned, "My mother treated you like that, how could you be so kind?"

Ji Anyu couldn't help but chuckle. Did Lin Jinhu finally react?

"Brother Jinhu and I have known each other for a long time, and we grew up together. For this reason, I can help you say a few words."

She moved her gaze to the distant corner and saw Shen Jing standing next to Wei Yanyue, and her expression was stunned for a moment.

When did Shen Jing come?
