Chapter 148
As for the matter of the sixth prince supervising the country, he just reminded him that the sixth prince was smart enough to seize the opportunity.

When Nan Helin went back, he didn't know what kind of situation he was facing.

The words of the century-old friendship between the two countries that are said on the court are naturally passing, and there are countless things to do.

The emperor ended the farce with his mouth: "In this case, the fourth prince should go back and take care of your Nanchu affairs first."

These words were blunt, embarrassing Nan Helin.

But after all, Nan Helin had something on him, so naturally he wouldn't get angry on the spot just because of these words.

I was already in a difficult situation in Southern Chu, so I had no reason to anger Yan Zhao's emperor and let myself be attacked on all sides.

"It's because I haven't thought it through carefully, but I still ask the emperor to think about it carefully." Nan Helin's expression remained the same as before, and he couldn't see what was going on in his heart.

That being the case, the emperor would not stretch out his hand to slap the smiling face, and just nodded and dismissed the matter lightly.

"Gu Aiqing, you..."

"Your Majesty, I can't wait any longer. If I don't grant a marriage today, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well for a few days."

Gu Hengyu knew that the emperor wanted to give Xie Chen to Yan Qing'an to be the crown princess, so he was afraid that he would miss what happened today.

It's just that Gu Hengyu has never expressed his feelings so directly outside, which inevitably surprised everyone present.

Coming to this banquet today, there were too many things that surprised them throughout the whole process.

The marriage between Princess Yongzhao and Xie Han was no longer enough for them to speculate, and they didn't understand the state affairs of Nanchu either.

The only thing that made them think too much now was Gu Hengyu's attitude, so urgent, it was too far from the always indifferent look of Gu Hengyu they had seen before.

The emperor was also a little surprised by Gu Hengyu's urgency, after thinking it over, he smiled and said: "Gu Aiqing, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet."

I wanted to delay this matter for a while, but seeing Gu Hengyu like this, thinking about myself like this is not natural.

What's more, Nan Helin still has a chance to make a comeback. If Xie Chen has not been given a marriage, Nan Helin may make a comeback.

"Since that's the case, I'm perfecting a couple of lovers. Let's decide your affairs in front of the courtiers today."

The emperor sat in a high position and said.

In an instant, a banquet specially organized to welcome the prince of Nanchu became the home of Gu Hengyu and Xie Chen's wedding.

Almost everyone congratulated Gu Hengyu one by one, and Gu Hengyu nodded with a smile on his face.

Someone pulled the back sleeve, Gu Hengyu turned to look at Xie Chen.

Xie Chen raised his head to signal, pointed his finger outside and made a gesture towards Gu Hengyu.

Gu Hengyu knew in his heart that Xie Chen didn't want to stay here any longer.

"My lords, go back first, I still have some things to deal with here." After speaking, without waiting for everyone's reaction, he pulled Xie Chen out of the palace gate.

But no one said anything, after all, this is Gu Hengyu.

Outside, the night was dark, and the moonlight shone on the earth, as if covering the ground with a soft veil.

Xie Chen looked up at Gu Hengyu under the moonlight, and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? Can you explain it today?"

There was a hint of teasing in the words, she knew that Gu Hengyu made a move on Nan Helin.

In her previous life, she had also heard of the people's speculation about Nan Helin's ascension to the throne, but she just didn't want Gu Hengyu to get things done so quickly.

Today was finally passed without any risk.

But now, in addition to her status as the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she also has the status of the First Concubine of the Hou Mansion, which makes her feel a little strange.

Gu Hengyu smiled at Xie Chen, and replied: "It's not like you don't know, it's not just today, I can't wait."

Ever since Autumn Hunting, even before, he wanted to stand by Xie Chen's side justifiably.

"But is it okay for us to come out like this?" Xie Chen looked at the bustle of the hall in the distance, which was in contrast to the tranquility when he and Gu Hengyu were alone here, and asked.

"No problem." Gu Hengyu replied.

Some things happen only when people fall asleep at night.

Thinking of this, Gu Hengyu thought about the informant he had placed beside Yan Yichen before coming to the palace to report.

After marrying Xie Wan, Yan Yichen no longer stood out in the court.

After a long time, everyone seems to have forgotten this person.

Even the identity of the third prince can't attract the attention of others, let alone Xie Wan who is only the third prince's side concubine.

Therefore, most people didn't know that Xie Wan had been tortured to death by Yan Yichen at the third prince's residence.

According to his informant's report, Yan Yichen is now an alcoholic, as soon as he finishes drinking, he will become violent, and attribute his dissatisfaction to Xie Wan.

I heard that when Xie Wan died, her body was still bruised and purple from the beating, and there was not a single piece of skin on her body that was intact.

But tonight, Yan Yichen seemed to be unable to hold back anymore, and wanted to take advantage of Nan Helin's presence in Yan Zhao to attack the emperor.

Gu Hengyu didn't want Xie Chen to worry, Yan Yichen probably got the help of Gao Kun who escaped from prison, got in touch with Nan Helin and made some secret deals.

This thing is dangerous.

Looking at Gu Hengyu's expression, Xie Chen always felt that something was wrong.

But thinking that Gu Hengyu never hid anything from himself, and always told the truth, he gave up his thoughts.

He and Gu Hengyu blew the wind by the lake in the palace, Xie Chen saw that it was almost time, and the banquet was about to end, so he dragged Gu Hengyu back.

The two just stepped onto the main hall, and then left with the crowd.

Gu Hengyu sent Xie Chen to the carriage of the prime minister's mansion, and said, "Gao Kun seems to be making some moves recently, you should be careful."

Xie Chen nodded, she knew that Gu Hengyu had transferred all the hidden guards around him to her side, and she already guessed that Gao Kun was behind the scenes.

"Understood, you too." Xie Chen said with concern.

With a smile on his face, Gu Hengyu lowered the curtain on the carriage, and watched the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion leave the city gate.

But he turned around and walked into the city again.

He had released the news to Yan Qing'an early in the morning, presumably by now Yan Qing'an had told the emperor that he had gone there to discuss plans with them.

Although Yan Qing'an was interested in Xie Chen, it made him unhappy.

But it is undeniable that Yan Qing'an is an upright person, and although he is sometimes not decisive in handling things, he is the most worthy of the throne among the princes.

Therefore, Gu Hengyu is willing to help Yan Qingan.

Although even if Yan Yichen ascended the throne, he still had a way to escape with gratitude, but he didn't want to hand over Yan Zhao's world to a cruel person.

Compared with brutal political rule, he trusted Yan Qing'an's kindness more.

The lights in the imperial study room were still on, Yan Qing'an sat opposite the emperor, and the atmosphere was somewhat silent.

When Gu Hengyu opened the door and walked in, what he saw was this scene.
