The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 113: Na Fei (4)
Chu Xunyang didn't know why Chu Yi'an kept so many books here. The only thing she valued was the few old letters he carefully kept in the dark cell. They were written by Liang Xi and only recorded some insignificant letters. but it is--

For the rest of his life, he relied on everything he had for one person.

Chu Xunyang stood in front of that secret compartment for a long time, raising his hand several times to touch the small rosewood box inside, but his heart was in a state of confusion, and he finally gave up after struggling several times.

There are some things, even though she has already been involved in them, she still doesn't want to break this superficial tranquility.

After a long time, she pressed the hidden button on the wall again, and when she turned around, her gaze met the familiar crack on the only vacant wall opposite.

His eyes froze, and suddenly he seemed to see the tragedy of the day when the entire gate of the Eastern Palace was slaughtered and stained with blood on the execution platform.

Those heads that fell to the ground, those bodies sprayed with hot blood, strictly speaking, those people died for her, and in the end——

Even if she slashed Chu Qiyan and Chu Qihui who were the instigators, the blood that had frozen under the blade could never be warmed up again.

Chu Qihui is her father's son, but to her, she can be nothing!

Chu Xunyang's thoughts were spinning, and he was in a daze when he heard the sound of the secret door of the secret room above quietly opening.

She collected herself, looked up, and saw Chu Yi'an striding down from above.

Because he returned home in a hurry from the palace, he was still wearing court clothes.

Chu Xunyang smiled and said, "Father!"

"En!" Chu Yi'an responded, walked in front of her, looked around, "I heard from Zeng Qi that you were looking for me, why did you come here?"

"I don't know when my father will come back. I just walk around when I'm bored." Chu Xunyang said, suddenly remembered something, looked at his clothes in confusion and said, "Is there something wrong? What's wrong with my father?" Are you back so early?"

"Yeah!" Chu Yi'an nodded, "After the court today, His Majesty has already said nothing. Before Anle's wedding, there will be a ceremony to accept the concubine. It is said that the imperial decree will be issued in two days. I will go to the House of Internal Affairs to call in advance." I said hello and came right back."

Prince Rui Chu Xin is in charge of the House of Internal Affairs.

The grand ceremony of accepting concubines requires the operation between the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites.

While speaking, the father and daughter had already returned to the study.

Chu Xunyang was a little surprised by the news, and blurted out: "What about Tuoba Huai'an? His candidate for the princess—"

The corners of Chu Yi'an's lips curved, and he patted her on the shoulder meaningfully: "Your Majesty accepts the concubine, and the status of the fifth prince of Mobei will also rise accordingly. Your Majesty means that you have wronged him in the matter of Anle. His wishes can be postponed for further discussion.”

Once Tuoba Rongyao enters the palace first, then Tuoba Huai'an will be regarded as the emperor's brother-in-law in terms of seniority. Although no one cares about the sky high in Mobei, the emperor is far away, but this seniority counts——

Chu Xunyang had an idea: "In this way, do we have to choose from foreign surnames?"

The Chu family suffered the catastrophe before the emperor came to the throne, and the number of people was not abundant. If they want to suppress their seniority, then the only suitable person in the royal family is the daughter of the prostitute who was married to Chu Xin's continuation wife in Prince Rui's mansion.

But the emperor's suspicion is heavy, but he may not be willing to let Chu Xin get involved with Mobei.

In this way, they should only be able to choose from foreign names.

"A princess from Mobei has already entered the palace. In fact, that's the meaning of whether or not this relationship will be married." Chu Yi'an sighed slightly indifferently, and sat back behind the case.

Chu Xunyang thought about it again, and suddenly smiled inconceivably: "Father, people have been panicking over the candidates for marriage to Mobei in the past two months, it seems——we have all been counted in!"

The emperor did a good job on the surface, creating opportunities for him to choose his own concubine with a courteous and modest attitude towards Tuoba Huai'an and his party, but in fact, he should have grasped Tuoba Huai'an's caution in this matter, and used Is it just a drag-and-drop decision?
Later, the matter of Chu Lingyun happened to happen again, so he pretended that he was tired of this matter, and immediately ordered to make a concubine.

In this way, Tuoba Huai'an was calculated instead, and the gain almost outweighed the loss.

Chu Yi'an's eyes deepened, but his expression was very indifferent, and he said: "Actually, we were blinded and didn't consider far-reaching. No matter which family in this court is involved with Mobei, I'm afraid it won't be able to please His Majesty. Thinking about it now, This result is not surprising.”

Chu Xunyang secretly sighed, Jiang is still old and spicy.

But for this matter, there is no comment.

The emperor had done all the tricks, but no matter how thoughtful he was in his calculations, Wan would never have thought that Tuoba Rongyao was Tuoba Huai'an's biggest bargaining chip in this matter, so he returned empty-handed.

Leaving aside these irrelevant matters, Chu Xunyang hesitated for a while, and slowly raised his eyes to look at Chu Yi'an: "Father—"

Chu Yi'an was startled, then frowned: "What's the matter? Why are you still hesitating in front of your father? Is there anything else you can't tell your father?"

He had a serious expression on his face, but his tone was light and joking.

Although Chu Xunyang didn't want to embarrass Chu Yi'an about Chu Qihui's matter, she has never been a procrastinating personality. Now that she has made a decision, she no longer hesitates, takes a deep breath and says, "It's about elder brother, father, you know it." , The disharmony between Concubine Lei and I has existed since ancient times, even though we are a family, there will inevitably be conflicts, when the time comes—"

In the end, because of guilt, Chu Xunyang paused for a while while speaking, and then raised his breath again: "I'm afraid that father will embarrass you!"

Chu Yi looked at her steadily, but remained silent.

In the huge study room, a needle drop could be heard in an instant.

Chu Xunyang felt uneasy.

She can look down on anyone, but only Chu Yi'an——

She couldn't help but take his position and feelings into account in every move she did.

Because her own existence itself is the burden of the other party, she dare not ask and cannot ask her father to give up her own children for her.

In the room, waiting for her was Chu Yi'an's long silence.

Chu Xunyang pursed the corners of his lips tightly and looked at him with a complicated expression.

I don't know how long it took for Chu Yi'an to slowly regain his senses from the bewilderment.

He raised his head and glanced at Chu Xunyang, his eyes were still the same as usual, and finally waved his hands and said, "You just need to know how to measure yourself!"

"En!" Chu Xunyang agreed, and let out a sigh of relief.
