Chapter 107
Gu Hengyu sent Xie Chen to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and looked at Xie Chen's back as he walked away, before turning and leaving.

It was because of Gu Hengyu's words of thanks to Chen that he felt relieved towards Cheng Ying. Thinking of the relationship between Fang Zhishu and Yan Yichen, his originally bright eyes couldn't help but darken.

She had no memory of Fang Zhishu's name in her previous life, but when she saw Fang Zhishu's face today, she remembered that besides seeing her at the Third Prince's residence, Yan Yichen also saw her often after she ascended the throne.

In this case, the connection between Fang Zhishu and Yan Yichen must be close. I don’t know if the two have colluded together now. Whether Fang Zhishu’s proposal to marry Cheng Ying was written by Yan Yichen is unknown. .

Xie Chen unconsciously took out the phoenix blood jade bracelet that Gu Hengyu gave her. The blood-colored table glowed faintly under the light, making it crystal clear.

After accepting the things from Gu Hengyu in this life, the two of them haven't become estranged, everything has become different.

Xie Chen woke up early the next morning, and after getting acquainted with him, nothing happened, so he lay down on the couch and read a book to pass the time.

"Miss, the master sent someone to look for it." Yinhuan came in and said to Xie Chen.

Xie Chen didn't stand up, and went down with the hand holding the book, his face was exposed from behind the book: "Did you say what you want to do with me?"

Yinhuan shook her head: "No, I just told Miss to hurry up."

Xie Chen nodded, and stood up after reading the unfinished part of the page, stretched his waist, and said, "Let's go."

Because he didn't plan to go out, Xie Chen didn't work hard on his face after grooming. At this time, his face was bare, showing his original fair complexion, and his skin was very clear under the sun.

Maybe it's because he's been lying on the couch for a long time, basking in the sun, so Xie Chen's cheeks are slightly reddish. The pear-white jacket and apricot-color long skirt make him look casual and refined.

Xie Chen pushed open the door of Prime Minister Xie's study, and seeing Prime Minister Xie sitting there playing chess with Yan Qing'an, he knew the reason for calling him here.

It seems that the elder brother of the crown prince has news from the palace to tell himself.

"Father, Prince." Xie Chen walked over to salute them, and then quietly waited for them to finish playing.

Although Xie Chen doesn't know chess, but judging from the situation, Yan Qing'an should win.

Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour Yan Qingan won the chess game.

"The crown prince is amazing, I feel ashamed." Prime Minister Xie said with a smile as he cupped his hands.

Yan Qing'an smiled and said: "It's just a fluke, the prime minister had the upper hand before Chen'er came."

Before Xie Chen came, Prime Minister Xie really thought that he would win, but afterward, the trend of the chess game made Prime Minister Xie gradually understand that it was just Yan Qingan who gave way to him before.

"Until it's a foregone conclusion, no one knows who will win or lose." Xie Chen said with a smile, but his seemingly unintentional words woke up Prime Minister Xie.

He used to be from the fifth prince's side, but now the fifth prince who has the most advantage in seizing the heirloom has lost the opportunity ahead of time.

Prime Minister Xie understood what Yan Qingan was reminding himself of by playing chess, and agreed with a smile: "Chen'er is right."

Xie Chen was asked by Yan Qing'an on his own initiative, presumably the crown prince must have something to say to her, Prime Minister Xie said a few words with a wink and then excused himself to go out.

Only Xie Chen and Yan Qing'an were left in the study.

"Brother Prince asked me, but did something important happen in the palace?" Xie Chen asked.

Prime Minister Xie is not the prince's man, and the prince should have other ideas for appearing in the prime minister's mansion for no reason.

Yan Qing'an heard about the wedding day between Xie Wan and the third prince today, and had never been able to find a chance to meet Xie Chen, so she really missed and worried, so today she followed Prime Minister Xie under the pretext of government affairs.

"It's nothing serious in the palace, it's just that Yiran has a sudden illness, and his departure from Beijing may have to be delayed until after the autumn hunt." Yan Qing'an thought for a while before finding out about it.

This matter is neither big nor small.

Yan Yiran went to the fief one day earlier, and the situation in the DPRK and China became clear one day earlier, and now the delay makes people unable to guess the meaning behind it.

In the previous life, Yan Yiran was dealt with at the end. Xie Chen had no experience in this matter. He frowned when he heard the words sudden illness, and asked, "What is the illness?"

When Yan Yiran suddenly fell ill the day before yesterday, Yan Qing'an was also there. The imperial doctor said that depression caused loss of appetite and weakened the body, which is why some common diseases occur consecutively.

The emperor and concubine Xiao felt distressed after hearing this, so they let the fifth prince stay for a few more days, just taking advantage of the autumn hunting to let him relax.

"It's probably a heart attack." Yan Qing'an said.

Xie Chen nodded after hearing this, and understood the meaning behind Yan Qingan's words.

Anyone who woke up after being injured and found out that the great cause planned for many years was destroyed by his own mother would not be too happy.

It's just that I don't know whether Yan Yiran stayed here by accident or someone did it on purpose.

"How is aunt in the palace?" Xie Chen looked at Yan Qing'an and asked, he had been back for more than half a month, and what he missed most was the queen.

Yan Qing'an heard Xie Chen's question, and said with tenderness on her face: "Everything is fine with the queen mother, but we have heard about you in the palace, and we are very concerned about you."

Yan Qing'an couldn't help but strengthen his tone on the word "we".

But Xie Chen didn't notice, it was only the queen and queen mother who were worried about whether they would be frightened by what happened to Aunt Jing and Xie Wan.

"Auntie and grandma are worrying too much. To put it bluntly, once Xie Wan and Aunt Jing left, I have a lot of life here." Xie Chen didn't hide his intentions and said some things.

Yan Qing'an is also willing to listen to Xie Chen's true thoughts, besides, Yan Qing'an knows what Aunt Jing and Xie Wan have done, so Xie Chen should think so.

"Then I'm here to congratulate Chen'er instead." Yan Qing'an smiled.

"Congratulations can't be said, I'm afraid that people will hear bad things about me." Xie Chen waved his hands after listening to Yan Qing'an's words, and joked with him.

Xie Chen's natural relaxation in front of him is what Yan Qingan wants to see the most, and he also enjoys the time he spends with Xie Chen.

In the past, I could see him from time to time in the palace, but now that I haven't seen him for more than half a month, Yan Qing'an is always thinking about Xie Chen, and when he hears Shen Yuzhi mentioning Xie Chen intentionally or unintentionally after going to court, he is very envious that they can see him often.

After thinking about it, Yan Qing'an said to Xie Chen who was sitting in front of her: "Why don't you go into the palace with me today to meet the queen mother?"

Xie Chen was taken aback, he didn't write a letter in advance to inform him, nor did he make preparations for entering the palace.

Seeing Xie Chen's reaction, without subconsciously rejecting herself, Yan Qing'an felt hopeful, and said, "The queen mother keeps talking about you in my ear every day, why not prepare a surprise for her today."

After hearing this, Xie Chen understood Yan Qing'an's thoughts, thinking that it's early now, and it's okay to go and come back later, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I happen to miss my aunt too."
