Chapter 316: Unexpected Events
Yan Zheng couldn't help feeling panic.
What does she want to do?
Why did Yan Li suddenly mention Yuxi? What did she really know, and why did she leak it to her?
Yan Zheng turned his head slightly, and from the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of two women kneeling behind him, one of whom was Qi Zixuan's concubine.
Yan Zheng's heart suddenly sank. Thinking of Qi Zixuan's ridiculous behavior on weekdays and his uncontrollable outbursts in the study, his heart became uncontrollably flustered.
Will you love her?
No.
He should calm down.
Even if the whistleblower was true, Yan Li had only heard about it, but had never seen what the jade seal looked like, or where the jade seal was hidden.
Yan Zheng lowered his head, feeling extremely regretful.
He shouldn't have put things at Qi Zixuan's place.
Even if the piece of top-quality jade was presented by Qi Zixuan’s maternal ancestors, even if it was a top-grade material suitable for making jade seals, even if he really wanted to force the palace to ascend the throne with a fake jade seal... he should never give it to Qi Zixuan just because he was easy to talk to. He asked him to make the jade into a jade seal and put it in his study.
Yan Zheng was so regretful that his intestines turned green.
Time passed little by little, and Qi Shangshu and the censors couldn't help but become quiet. In the long silence, fine cold sweat could not be restrained from flowing down the backs of everyone.
Living like a year is probably their state of mind at this time.
Yan Zheng hopes that time will pass faster and the torment of this time will end as soon as possible. He also hopes that time will pass slower. The slower the better. Slowly enough that the Imperial Forest Army will eventually return without success. Slowly enough that he will have enough time to come up with a solution. way.
His biggest prayer now is that Qi Zixuan hides the jade seal in a secret place, so secret that no one can find it... However, God often fails to fulfill his wish. ŴŴŴ.
clatter! clatter! clatter!
A thunderous sound of horse hooves quickly arrived at the palace gate.
The commander of the Royal Forest Army, Xuan Nanfeng, turned his horse, his posture was strong and agile, and his feet were as fast as the wind.
As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, he saw a man in a snow-white brocade robe standing there, as gentle as jade.
The young man is full of nobility and his figure is as slender as a green bamboo, which reminds him of an elegant, noble and aristocratic young man.
"Xuan Tong." Yan Jin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his smile was just right, gentle and graceful, "I want to say a few words to you."
"I've seen him before." Xuan Nanfeng saluted hurriedly, "I'm in a humble position and have important things to do. I can't talk to you much. Please forgive me."
Yan Jin lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the object he was holding in his hand. It was wrapped in blue satin and was square and square, making him involuntarily think of something.
Yan Jin raised her eyes and looked at Xuan Nanfeng warmly: "General Xuantong just came back from the Qi family?"
Xuan Nanfeng was not surprised that he would know, and nodded slowly: "놆."
The Royal Forest Army came out of the palace according to the order, mobilized troops and mobilized the masses, and it was impossible for no news to be leaked.
Yan Jin asked again: "This thing was found in Qi Zixuan's study?"
Xuan Nanfeng nodded again: "놆."
Yan Jin's expression paused slightly, and he said with great grace: "Can you give me a look?"
"No." Xuan Nanfeng shook his head and refused, and apologized, "Please forgive me."
Yan Jin frowned slightly: "If this matter is framed, has Commander Xuantong thought about the consequences?"
"I've never thought about it." Xuan Nanfeng shook his head, "As a humble person, I only have to do errands. I have no right to think about things outside of my responsibilities."
Yan Jin pursed her lips and felt difficult for a moment.
"The legitimate daughter of the Qi family, the eldest brother's married wife." Yan Jin hung on her side and tightened her grip carefully, trying her best to keep her voice calm, "This matter involves serious matters, I hope Commander-in-Chief Xuan will think twice."
Xuan Nanfeng still shook his head: "Please understand the difficulties of the humble position."
"I don't care what happens to the Qi family. Once the matter is confirmed, the eldest brother will inevitably be implicated." Yan Jin bit her lip, "I hope Commander Xuan can also understand my difficulties."
If you make some ordinary mistakes, it doesn't matter even if you are punished.
Conspiracy to commit rebellion is a capital crime, and there is no forgiveness for the crime.
Yan Jin couldn't imagine how many people would be involved once Xuan Nanfeng took this thing to the Qinzheng Hall, and how many people would pay with their lives for this object.
"If the matter has nothing to do with the eldest prince, the empress is wise enough to deal with it impartially." Xuan Nanfeng said in a calm tone, "If it has anything to do with the eldest prince, I'm afraid I won't be able to save him."
One of his hands was holding something wrapped in silk, and while he was talking, the other hand had already put a sword on his waist, obviously ready to use it if Yan Jin tried to stop him.
Yan Jin looked at him silently: "Is there really no room for change?"
"No." Xuan Nanfeng lowered his eyebrows and apologized again, "Please forgive me."
Yan Jin gently closed his eyes, hanging them in his sleeves and holding them tightly. After a brief struggle, he finally took a step back and said, "Excuse me."
Xuan Nanfeng nodded and resigned: "Thank you very much."
After saying that, he walked away quickly.
Behind him was a group of royal guards, a total of twelve 그, including himself, thirteen 그.
Yan Jin came to block the road alone without any entourage. She saw that she was just trying to win his favor and had no intention of conflicting with him.
Yan Jin really didn't intend to conflict with him.
Standing stiffly in the distance, he watched Xuan Nanfeng and his party walking away without saying a word, his lips tightened and his face turned pale.
He didn't want to watch Yan Zheng ruin him, so he just wanted to try his best to win.
Although he knew in his heart that fighting like this would not help.
The queen has used the sons of the Xuan family for many years. The Xuan family has been favored by the queen. They are loyal to the queen and have never supported any prince.
So Yan Jin just wanted to give it a try.
"The palace." From a distance, a blue-clothed attendant came over and looked at him with some concern, "Do you want to go to the Qinzheng Palace to have a look?"
Yan Jin was silent for a long time, and slowly shook his head: "No."
"If you plead, the queen should let the palace go."
"The queen mother won't kill him." Yan Jin turned and left, his steps were a little heavy, "The queen mother treats us as her own children. Even if the eldest brother made some mistakes, she couldn't bear to kill him."
"You——"
"No." Yan Jin interrupted him, his voice was gentle, "Let's go."
Except for death, any punishment Yan Zheng received was his own fault.
As long as he can save his life, nothing else matters.
Yan Jin thought, let it be.
If he can keep his life, he, as his brother, will naturally take care of him for the rest of his life, so that his life will not be too difficult.
Other than this, don't even think about it.
