"Forbidden?"
Is that what he meant?
Jiang Ci'an blinked in confusion.
Shen Changle nodded gently and explained:
"Twenty years ago, before Wen Zhixue went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, he had an old relationship with Yan Zijing's aunt Yan Lan.
Later, Wen Zhixue was selected from the bottom of the list and married to the current Mrs. Wen. Yan's father was angry that he had abandoned him and came to find him.
Unexpectedly, he was dismissed from office on trumped-up charges by Wen Zhixue, and his entire family was massacred, leaving only Yan Lan.
He deceived Yan Lan, saying he would investigate her enemies and help her get revenge, and then he kept her out like this for twenty years."
Is this happening?
No wonder the Regent brought Yan Zijing back to the capital. He is the ironclad evidence of the Wenzhi School's disregard for human life!
but……
"Then, how did Yan Zijing survive?"
“The reason why Yan Zijing survived was completely an accident.
That year, Yan Zijing's father was dismissed from office, and his mother was about to give birth. In order to give his wife a stable environment for delivery, Yan's father sent her back to her parents' home.
After Yan's mother gave birth to him at her mother's home, she felt sorry for him because he was too young to endure the hardships, so she left him at her maternal grandfather's home, thus saving the family from being wiped out.
Jiang Ci'an nodded, but was a little confused.
"For all these years, Wen Zhixue has been unaware of Yan Zijing's existence?"
"I know! Yan Zijing didn't know his aunt was still alive, but his aunt remembered him.
After Wen Zhixue took Yan Lan away, Yan Lan begged him to save the last bloodline of the Yan family.
Therefore, Wen Zhixue couldn't kill Yan Zijing, nor did he dare to keep him alive, so he could only send people to monitor him..."
Jiang Ci'an suddenly realized.
No wonder they kept encountering assassinations on the way back.
I guess they are all the work of Wenzhixue!
The same goes for the turmoil of rebellion in the court.
He was afraid that Yan Zijing would fall into the hands of the Regent and be caught.
Only then did he plan to cut off the source of the problem and overthrow the Regent in one fell swoop.
But he didn't expect...
The emperor and the regent, who usually fight with each other in public, are actually a faction in private!
With the emperor protecting him, any solid evidence is useless and the charges are difficult to establish.
The opposite is not the case.
Unless he rebels!
Otherwise, as long as the evidence is conclusive, he will have no way out.
only……
"Changle, now that you've captured Yan Lan, be careful of the Wenzhi School, as they might become desperate."
Shen Changle smiled indifferently.
"Don't worry, he's been busy with court affairs these days, and he definitely didn't expect that I would go to the rear to steal his home!"
After all, he was confident that no one knew about the fact that he had a beautiful woman in his mansion.
"It's better to be careful."
Jiang Ci'an hugged her and persuaded her tactfully.
"Um……"
Shen Changle agreed, but fell asleep as he was talking.
Silent all night.
The next day, Jiang Ci'an had breakfast with Shen Changle and then returned to the military camp.
Before leaving, Shen Tingyu gave many instructions.
"Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. You are a general and should set an example. Never leave your post again next time."
Jiang Ci'an glanced at him with a reproachful tone in his voice.
"As long as Changle is safe, I can focus on training the troops."
Shen Tingyu choked and was speechless after being confronted by him.
He was sent on the horse unjustly.
The old butler followed behind Shen Tingyu, clicking his tongue constantly.
"Her Royal Highness is truly extraordinary. She can even subdue such an unruly person..."
Shen Tingyu gathered his cloak and rebuked in a deep voice:
"Don't talk about the royal family casually."
The old housekeeper was stunned for a long time before he reacted...
The royal family that the prince was talking about turned out to be that ruffian-looking young man!
Then he quickly leaned over and nodded to admit his mistake.
"Yes, I know I was wrong..."
On Shen Changle's side, just as Jiang Ci'an was sent away, Bai Zhi came to report:
"Your Highness, that woman has woken up."
Shen Changle endured the pain and sat up on the bed.
Bai Zhi helped him get out of bed.
Baizhi was still a little worried.
"Your Highness, your injury..."
"It doesn't matter."
Holding onto his shoulders, he walked slowly all the way to the guest room.
Before I even entered the door, I heard the sound of things being smashed and thrown inside, accompanied by loud shouting and cursing:
"...Who on earth kidnapped your great-grandmother? Come out here now! I'll skin you alive..."
Uh……
Shen Changle and Bai Zhi looked at each other.
Inexplicably, he swallowed.
What a tough woman! It’s better not to go in for now. It’s not worth getting beaten.
Then he whispered outside the door:
"May I ask if the person in the room is Aunt Yan Lanyan?"
Although she was an unofficial concubine, calling her aunt was not against the rules.
Unexpectedly, Yan Lan exploded as if her tail was stepped on!
"Who are you calling Auntie? I think you are the Auntie! How dare you kidnap your great-grandmother? Come in and see how I deal with you!"
She pushed the door hard, and it shook violently, making a loud noise.
Shen Changle was worried that she might tear down the house in a fit of rage!
Bai Zhi protected her and retreated, frowning and asking seriously:
"Your Highness, would you like me to go in and teach her a lesson?"
Shen Changle held her arm and shook his head gently.
"She is not an enemy. I will try to win her over."
"But she was so emotional that she couldn't listen to what Your Highness said."
This is true.
Shen Changle didn't have that much time to play with her.
"Then you should control her first and make her unable to hurt anyone."
"Yes!"
Baizhi obeyed the order and unlocked the door.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, Yan Lan threw a flower pot at her.
Fortunately, the white pheasant was agile and easily dodged it.
He also used acupressure to keep her in place and carried her to the bed.
Her whole body was frozen, only her eyes could move.
Bai Zhi then came over to support Shen Changle.
"Your Highness, that's all."
"Ah."
Shen Changle nodded and went inside.
Standing at a safe distance, he looked at her plump figure.
"Are you Yan Lan?"
Yan Lan rolled her eyes at her, filled with anger but unable to speak.
Shen Changle asked Bai Zhi in confusion.
"Can't she speak?"
"I'll go take a look."
Baizhi walked up to her and deftly pressed her mute point. Only then did she regain her vitality and curse loudly:
"You are the one who kidnapped your great-grandmother. Who are you and what is your purpose?"
Shen Changle raised his uninjured hand and comforted her softly.
"Calm down first and listen to what I have to say."
"My Lord? Are you from the royal family?"
When she heard Shen Changle's self-introduction, she immediately became alert.
Seeing this, Baizhi introduced Shen Changle with a tactful look.
"This is the eldest princess of Daqi. You must not offend her!"
"Ha! What a joke! What a ridiculous princess! She's just like a bandit, tying up everyone she sees!"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Shen Changle's face, and he began to explain.
"I kidnapped my aunt here because I have something important to tell you. I had no choice but to do it."
"You had to do it? Using shady means to kill my entire family, is that also a last resort?"
what?
Shen Changle was shocked.
Unexpectedly, Wen Zhixue was so despicable as to lie to her and say... the annihilation of her Yan family was done by the royal family?
