PDLP Chapter 156: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...
Chapter 156: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...
Just as Wen Yan was entangled with the prince, something unexpected happened to Wen Yan.
The emperor summoned her into the palace.
Wen Yan used her toes to think and knew that there was nothing good about the emperor asking her to enter the palace at this time.
Considering my face, the situation seems a little bad.
Cao Ci came in person, the sedan chair was ready, and he was waiting for Wen Yan.
Wen Yan smiled slightly and said, "Eunuch Cao, can I go back to the house to get something?"
Several eunuchs behind Cao Ci stepped forward and surrounded Wen Yan: "Madam Wen, please don't make things difficult for me. Whatever you want is available in the palace. Even if it is not available, we can make it for you on the spot."
Wen Yan's heart sank, it seemed that he was not going to let her out of the palace.
The Yang family originally thought that it was enough for Wen Yan to be able to get close to the prince, but they didn't expect that the emperor also liked her. This was really a pleasant surprise for the Yang family.
Yang Tuo also said, "That's right, what Eunuch Cao said is right. You go first. There is nothing missing in the palace."
In the face of imperial power, nothing Wen Yan did seemed to work.
She followed Cao Ci away. Although she was worried, she changed her mind and felt that Wan Dongling was so smart that she could live safely even if she didn't say anything.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Wen Yan was carried into the square walls of the palace.
Everyone who saw Cao Ci was greeting him, and no one dared to look up at the sedan chair.
When they arrived in front of a magnificent hall, Cao Ci ordered the curtain of the sedan chair to be lowered.
Then he said to Wen Yan respectfully, "Madam Wen, His Majesty is waiting for you inside. Please follow me."
There was an incense burning in the hall, and it smelled sweet and peaceful.
Wen Yan followed him in.
Sitting in the hall was an old man in his fifties or sixties, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and playing chess with a chess piece in his hand.
He seemed unconcerned about Wen Yan's arrival.
When Wen Yan approached, Cao Ci said, "Your Majesty has brought someone here."
It was not until this time that the man raised his head and looked at Wen Yan.
His eyes trembled slightly. Although he had seen Wen Yan's appearance before, for some reason, he felt that she was even more similar than before when he saw her up close.
He tried to look more friendly and said, "You are Wen Yan."
Wen Yan looked at the old man in front of her and nodded, bowing: "Your Majesty."
"Can you play chess?"
"will not."
"Can I teach you?"
Wen Yan raised her eyes slightly, "I'm afraid I'm too stupid to learn it."
The emperor discovered that Wen Yan in front of him looked nothing like Yang Xiaojiao.
Yang Xiaojiao is always gentle and never dares to speak loudly. She is always aggrieved and stubborn.
But Wen Yan...seems to be more aggressive, with a determined look in her eyes.
not like her.
Is it like that man?
The thought made the emperor so angry that he slammed the chessboard and the chess pieces fell to the ground.
"Cao Ci! Lock him up!"
Cao Ci quickly agreed and left with Wen Yan.
He was also helpless. In front of Madam Yang, His Majesty had always been easy to please, but for some reason, Wen Yan's personality was too different from Madam Yang's.
"Madam Wen, listen to me. If you speak softly and yield in front of His Majesty, you can walk around freely in the palace."
Wen Yan smiled and said, "Then according to what the eunuch said, I was abducted into the palace, not only can I not be unhappy, but I have to hold him in high esteem?"
Cao Ci was speechless, pointing at Wen Yan for a long time without being able to speak: "Madam Wen, this is the imperial palace, please be careful with your words and actions!"
Wen Yan sneered.
Arriving at the palace arranged for her by Cao Ci, Wen Yan had been waiting for the right time. She released the little gray bird and wrote a letter to Wan Dongling.
Let her be careful in everything.
Wen Yan stayed up all night, waiting for Wan Dongling's reply, but she never received it.
It just so happened that Wen Yan couldn't go out now and couldn't get any information, so she could only write another letter, this time to Peng Luoyun, asking her if there was anything unusual in the Yang family.
This time Wen Yan got the news quickly.
Wen Yan quickly read the secret letter that Little Grey Bird brought back, and then froze in place: "The Yang family was confiscated and exiled?"
Although Peng Luoyun did not say it explicitly, she hinted that it was because of her that the Crown Princess took her anger out on the Yang family and originally planned to exile all the members of the Yang family.
But who knew that Wen Yan was actually called to the palace and escaped.
Wan Dongling, the person Wen Yan cared about the most, was taken away by someone. Although Peng Luoyun did not find out who took her away, he was sure that this person was definitely not an ordinary person.
As long as the boss is safe, it's fine. As for who took him away, Wen Yan has no idea for the moment.
However, Wen Yan believed that as long as Wan Dongling had time, she would find a way to pass on the message.
After entering the palace, the old emperor did not make things difficult for Wen Yan. Most of the time, he would take Wen Yan to appreciate famous works and taste delicious food, as if he was trying every means to narrow the distance between him and Wen Yan.
Wen Yan just found it funny.
But since he was willing to wait like this, Wen Yan didn't expose it.
After half a month in the palace, a gray bird suddenly flew into Wen Yan's palace.
It was Wan Dongling who brought the news.
It turns out that the nobleman they rescued when they first came to the capital was actually the Fifth Prince, and the Fifth Prince fell in love with Wan Dongling at first sight.
When the Fifth Prince heard that the Crown Princess was going to take action against the Yang family, he brought Wan Dongling out in advance.
Wen Yan had some impression of this Fifth Prince.
His biological mother had no power or influence, she was just a beautiful maid in the palace, but she was really stupid. The Fifth Prince was just as stupid as his biological mother, which allowed him to spend so many years safely in the palace.
Wen Yan looked again and found that Wan Dongling had brought another piece of news.
Wang Jiu has been imprisoned and will be secretly executed in three days.
Wen Yan was stunned. She was still wondering why she hadn't seen Wang Jiu for so many days.
So, that's how it is.
Will he be executed secretly in three days?
Wen Yan held the golden medal of immunity from death in her hand, and her eyes changed from worry to determination.
She wants to save Wang Jiu.
Time waits for no one, Wen Yan heard that the prince was going to enter the palace.
It was relatively easy for Wen Yan to get this kind of information, and there was also someone who would not wait for the prince to make any mistakes.
Yuan Xin kept a close eye on Wen Yan, and knowing that she had needs, he immediately found a reason to allow the prince to enter the palace.
Wen Yan was not lagging behind either. She specially wore the turquoise dress that Xiang Yun particularly loved today. With a slight change of her eyebrows and eyes, she actually looked 80% similar to Xiang Yun.
The person you love is not scary, but the person you love who has died is scary.
Wen Yan took out the golden medal of immunity from death and begged the emperor to spare Wang Jiu in the hall. "Your Majesty, this is the only request I have. Wang Jiu saved my life before, so I must save him this time."
The emperor looked at the golden medal of immunity from death, wondering what he was thinking. He smiled and said, "Wang Jiu is really good to you. He even gave you this golden medal of immunity from death."
Wen Yan knew that the emperor was suspicious, but this was exactly what she wanted.
"Do you know how this golden medal of immunity from death was obtained?" The emperor threw the gold medal on the table.
Wen Yan shook her head.
"This is the golden medal that saved my life because the entire Wang family was killed by my brother in order to help me ascend to the throne. I gave him this to express my gratitude. I didn't expect that you have it. It seems that you are very important to him."
Wen Yan was silent.
The emperor lost his smile and ordered: "Tonight, Wang Jiu's martial arts will be abolished and he will be exiled to Ningguta. Wen Yan will be made a beauty and will sleep with you tonight."
Cao Ci: "Yes."
Wen Yan stood up, so calmly that people wondered if she didn't understand.
Cao Ci took Wen Yan out of the house and happened to meet the prince who was coming.
When Yuan Hesong saw Wen Yan, he was in a trance again. He subconsciously said, "Ayun..."
Wen Yan raised her eyes, tears flashed across them, and her eyelashes became wet. "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Cao Ci felt something was wrong when he saw this: "Your Highness, the Emperor is waiting for you inside, please follow me."
Yuan Hesong looked at Wen Yan's back in an upset manner, and it took him a long time to look away.
