Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

Chapter 266 The Princess Arrives

After that day, Qiu Niang ate more. Although she was still very depressed, she never mentioned suicide again.

Uncle Xiang secretly called Luo Xiaoran aside and whispered:

"Miss, I have found out everything you asked me to find out.

That day, although many villagers came out to watch the fun, there was at least Chaoyang Private School between our Luo residence and their houses, so they didn't hear anything at all.

All I know is that a richly dressed young man came over, and then Miss Qiu Niang fainted, and I don't know anything else.

Many people asked me about that rich young man!"

"Is it possible to tell whether he really didn't hear it, or was pretending not to hear it to save the Luo family's face?" Luo Xiaoran asked again.

Uncle Xiang rubbed his hands, squinted his dry old eyes and recalled carefully, then after a while he murmured:

"They must be unaware of the situation. I didn't see anything unusual on their faces. Besides, it's been more than 20 days. If anyone knew the situation, I would have heard about it in the village."

"I understand. Uncle Xiang, you've worked hard." Luo Xiaoran sent Uncle Xiang down to rest, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the villagers knew that Tang Tian had come to Luo's house, they didn't know what he said in front of Luo's house, nor did they know about Qiu Niang's past. This was a blessing in disguise.

Mid-Autumn Festival is coming in two days. I wonder if Chen'er is doing well in Prince Yan's Mansion? Everyone in the family is talking about him!

……

Prince Yan's Mansion, backyard.

Chen Xingchen sat upright in the pavilion by the lake, his two fleshy hands resting on his chin, staring blankly at the koi in the lake.

He was wearing a lake blue brocade double-breasted jacket, which made his face look as clean as white jade, making him look like a fairy from heaven who had come down to earth.

There were no koi fish raised in the lake. Chen Ji saw that Chen Xingchen liked to come to the lake to play, so he ordered people to buy koi fish and put them in the lake, hoping that he would be happier.

The result is obvious.

Chen Xingchen was still unhappy.

King Yan found a special teacher to teach Chen Xingchen how to read and write. In addition, he also personally taught him how to practice physical training.

After all, four or five years old is a good time to practice martial arts.

Even if you don't have very high martial arts skills in the future, it would be good to be able to keep fit.

Chen Xingchen lived a fulfilling life every day. He studied and practiced martial arts very seriously, and was recognized by people around him. They all praised him for being able to endure hardships that ordinary children could not endure at such a young age, and believed that he would achieve great things in the future.

Only Li Heng knew that Chen Xingchen had many dreams when she was asleep, and she always muttered "sister" and "sister" in her dreams. Li Heng had no choice but to shake his head and sigh.

Du Shimu, who was summoned by King Yan, had examined the poison in Li Heng's body. The poison had spread throughout his body and penetrated deep into his bone marrow. There was no possibility of recovery.

Li Heng was well prepared for this, so he took the risk of being followed by the princess's spies and came to Yizhou to find the King of Yan.

"Chen'er, you stay in the backyard today. Don't run around, especially don't run to the front yard. Got it?"

Li Heng came over, sat down next to Chen Xingchen, and began to give instructions.

Chen Xingchen turned his little head towards Li Heng, confusion evident in his big eyes.

"Grandpa, why can't we go to the front yard? Aren't we going to watch everyone's martial arts competition later?"

In the martial arts arena in the front yard of Prince Yan's Mansion, soldiers compete and spar every afternoon, and the scene is quite lively.

Ever since Chen Xingchen came, watching the soldiers practice martial arts has become a habit for him. Children all have a heroic complex, and Chen Xingchen also fantasizes that he will be able to master powerful kung fu in the future.

"There's someone in the front yard, and Grandpa doesn't want her to see you. It might bring danger to us."

"Is he a bad guy?"

"Yes."

"Chen'er knows."

Li Heng never deceived Chen Xingchen into thinking that the world was safe, the surrounding environment was comfortable, and the people around him were kind.

Chen Xingchen, who had experienced the annihilation of his entire family and had to flee famine for months, understood this early on.

……

Prince Yan's Mansion, front yard.

Princess Qingyi came to the northern border twice last year and the year before. This was her first time visiting Prince Yan's mansion, and she used the princess's travel ceremonial guard.

A hint of surprise flashed across Chen Ji's eyes at this.

"Qingyi suddenly came to visit today. Uncle, you won't blame Qingyi for not saying hello in advance, right?"

Chen Lingyi sat at the bottom, her red lips slightly curled, her eyes sparkling with cuteness. Behind her stood A-Qiao wearing a mask and Zhu Yan who looked respectful and serious.

"Princess, please feel free to speak frankly if you have anything to say." Chen Ji's expression was indifferent, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Chen Lingyi's smile remained unchanged, "Uncle still likes it so much...Straight to the point, Lingyi won't beat around the bush."

Staring more intently at Chen Ji, Chen Lingyi's eyes flashed with a hint of teasing, but her tone was lowered, so she seemed more serious.

"I have received news that the emperor will personally attend the Mid-Autumn Festival. The emperor has already arrived in Qingzhou and will arrive in Yizhou soon. When the time comes, I will welcome him with my uncle."

Chen Ji lowered his eyes. Ever since the imperial carriage left the palace, someone had already passed the news from Kyoto to Yizhou. He was also waiting for the arrival of Emperor Tianqi.

"The king knows."

Then, the living room fell into silence.

"Speaking of which, this is Lingyi's first visit to my uncle's house. Wouldn't my uncle take Lingyi to visit Prince Yan's mansion?"

"If you have nothing else to do, Princess, please return to Taiping Palace."

Of course, Chen Ji had no interest in taking Chen Lingyi on a tour, so he directly asked her to leave.

Chen Lingyi's eyes flashed with displeasure, but she hid it well and just raised her voice and suddenly said:

"I heard that my eldest brother's former teacher Li Heng has also come to Yizhou recently. I have met him several times. It would be a great thing if I could meet him in person."

Chen Ji frowned, staring into Chen Lingyi's eyes quietly. After a moment, he said, "Wei Lin, show the guest away!"

"Please come in, Princess!" Wei Lin stretched out his hand and made a gesture to see the guest off.

Chen Lingyi didn't even glance at Wei Lin. She looked at Chen Ji provocatively and continued to speak calmly:

"I heard that Li Heng has a little boy with him. He looks very cute and is now living with my uncle. Is that true?"

There was a flash of dark edge in Chen Ji's eyes, and he gave Wei Lin a look. Wei Lin retreated, and Chen Lingyi also asked A Qiao and Zhu Yan to retreat.

"If I were you, I wouldn't come to Prince Yan's Mansion alone." Chen Ji's tone was cold, as if he was announcing some bad news.

Hearing this threatening tone, Chen Lingyi did not feel the slightest bit of fear. Instead, a hint of excitement flashed through her heart.

"Uncle, do you think I would come here without any preparation?"

At the same time, Wei Lin quickly walked to the backyard and was relieved to see Chen Xingchen and Li Heng sitting peacefully in the pavilion by the lake.

He even thought that the eldest princess's spies had already infiltrated Prince Yan's Mansion!
