The peerless and dark princess

Chapter 122 People coming from the capital

Chen Siran followed Chen Yu's instructions and took the man to the side courtyard. He also knew that Chen Yu meant to keep the man under observation and not send him to prison. In recent years, the entire Minzhou people seemed to subconsciously avoid news from the Prince of Yan's Mansion and the Mu Mansion. Now...

"You guys stay here for a while."

-

"Sister Mengyan, are you okay?"

In fact, Xingyu wanted to ask why they had to talk about Chu Wanran, but they all knew that they were still under the surveillance of King Yue, so it was not a good time to talk too much about those things. They could only take one step at a time. Since Sister Mengyan said so, then they would bear it together. They also knew that Mengyan was doing this to save themselves and others.

"fine."

After Chen Yu let Chen Siran take a few people away, she looked dejectedly at the smiling painting, "Wanran, are you really gone? I thought Mu Heng would cherish you if you married him. It's all my fault~"

Chen Siran had just seen the expression on his father Chen Yu's face, and with the stories told by Uncle Yan, he knew how important Chu Wanran was to his father, and he could not forget her even after so many years.

"Yan Li, you've been with me for many years. Now I have a task for you. Go and investigate the matter between Wanran and Mu Heng, especially Wanran. Is she really like what that child said, she..."

Chen Yu swallowed several times but couldn't utter the word "death", but his eyes were fixed on Yan Li.

"Brother Yu, I will go and check it myself, but the person in the palace sent someone to bring a token. Brother Yu, what about you?"

"You said Chen Yan's people brought a token of loyalty?" Chen Yu was a little surprised. For so many years, he had thought he had forgotten the past and had been raising Chen Siran. It was Chen Yan who had tricked him with the child left behind by his sixth brother Chen Ze, saying that his eldest brother was going to eliminate the roots and let him take the child away. Death is like the extinction of a light, and it was all because of the brothers who couldn't bear to take away the blood of their sixth brother Chen Ze... As for the woman, she was already dead by the time he arrived. Later, after arriving in Minzhou, he claimed that Chen Siran was his child...

Chen Yu thought of the things he had said to Chen Yan before leaving Beijing. For the safety of Dali and to avoid seeing his beloved, he never returned. By the time he found out about his elder brother Zuo Xiang, no one had mentioned him. He couldn't take Zuo Xiang's only child away from Beijing either...

Now Chen Yan has sent someone with a token. What happened in the capital? He'd heard about the unrest in Southern Xinjiang a while ago, but with Chu Lianyao around, he was able to protect the people there. Or is it that Chen Yan still feels a desire for the throne after all these years? Well, he'll just go to the capital this time.

"Come with me to Beijing. Let A'ran stay in Minzhou."

Yan Li didn't know the meaning of this token, he only knew that Chen Yu didn't have to return to the capital when he received the imperial edict.

"Brother Yu, you want to go to Beijing? But..."

"This is the agreement Chen Yan and I made when we left Beijing. If someone comes here with this token, I will help him once, provided it's a matter of great importance to the country. Since someone has brought it, I have to go to Beijing, even if Chen Yan has set a trap. Besides, I originally wanted to go back to Beijing to investigate the Wanran incident. If Chen Yan hadn't sent anyone, I would have attracted attention if I left Minzhou. That's why I planned to ask you to do it yourself. Now, since we have this opportunity..."

"Brother Yu, I understand. I'll go with you. A'ran is still young. If this is a trap, I'll leave Minzhou to him..."

Yan Li understood Chen Yu's thoughts. He wasn't sure what this person, carrying the token, was up to, telling him to return to Beijing. If it was a trap, then Chen Siran would be safe in Minzhou, and it would be their escape route. Of course, he had already considered returning to Beijing to investigate after hearing about Chu Wanran's situation. If he and the others hadn't been there, he probably wouldn't have sent himself, but would have gone there himself.

Mu Wange and Zuo Ci were both spreading rumors on the streets, but they didn't pay much attention to it. The maids gradually got used to it, and they knew it in their hearts anyway. After all, the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion was marrying into the royal palace, and no matter how reluctant Mu Heng was, he had to prepare a dowry in a grand manner to look good. Otherwise, it would be a sign of dissatisfaction with the emperor's marriage.

Zuo Ci, on the other hand, had completely let the people sent by the emperor prepare everything. He put down his burden and said, "The things are in the warehouse. You can decide how to prepare the betrothal gifts."

Faced with such a playboy, the people sent to assist Zuo Ci had no choice but to take over these matters with a bitter face and let this gentleman step forward when it is time, otherwise what would they do if this playboy quit.

In reality, the six leaders had already prepared all those valuables, but they wouldn't present them to Mu Heng. Instead, they would wait for Mu Wange to marry into the palace and personally hand them over to the mistress. Even though Mu Heng was the father-in-law, he didn't deserve these things. If it weren't for the sake of appearances, they wouldn't be willing to give those treasures to the Mu family.

"Yan'er, thanks to your help."

"Master, what are you talking about? Isn't this my duty? Besides, Wangge is my daughter. Isn't it natural for a mother to prepare a dowry for her daughter?"

Old Madam Mu had not gone out for several days. She could not accept that Mu Wange was given a marriage, and the man she married was the "dandy" Zuo Ci. Although it was a royal palace, it was still a little worse. She had heard some of the past events, but since it was an imperial decree, how could she refuse it?

Mu Haolin has been studying with his teacher these days and has learned about getting married. He is a little unhappy. He has been with Mu Wange for more than a year. He knows that this is his biological sister.

"Qingyu, do you think my sister will forget me after she gets married?"

"Sir, the eldest lady won't do that. Besides, it's not that the eldest lady can just say no to marriage; it's a granted marriage."

"But I don't want to leave my sister. Do you think it's okay for me to live with her in the palace?"

Qingyu wanted to deny it, because even if the eldest lady and the prince were willing, how could Mu Haolin, as the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion, leave the Shangshu Mansion and live with his brother-in-law? But seeing Mu Haolin's eager look, she didn't give a vague answer, "Maybe you have to ask the eldest lady and the prince."

"Okay, I'll go ask my sister later."

Mu Haolin actually knew that this was not allowed, but thinking this way made him feel better.

Seeing that Mu Haolin didn't say anything else, Qingyu quickly put away the books on the desk, took a book from the cabinet next to him and handed it to Mu Haolin. This was his habit. Sure enough, Mu Haolin took the book and read it quietly.
