As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 432
After leaving the Chen Mansion and getting on the carriage, Xie Zhaozhao asked, "How do you know you are related to my fifth brother?"

"He disappeared." Yun Qi said calmly: "He disappeared soon after the banquet started, and so did Miss Chen. When I thought about it, I'm afraid your fifth brother went to look for her."

"You caught Mr. Liu again, and Chen Wenzhuo doesn't look too good either..."

"He wanted to marry his sister to the Jizhou Protector in order to get the Liu family's support for him to seize the title. It's not just a matter of one or two days."

"With Chen Shulan's temperament, it's not surprising that she doesn't want to."

"In this case, it is only natural that Chen Wenzhuo would do something vile and force her to agree."

"You..."

Xie Zhaozhao chuckled and said: "Look, you didn't say anything from the beginning to the end. It turns out that everything is clear in your heart... Yes, things are exactly as you guessed. I just met the fifth brother outside the Chen Mansion."

"Chen Shulan was poisoned. If fifth brother hadn't rescued her, everything would have gone as planned by Chen Wenzhuo."

Yun Qi frowned slightly, "This Chen Wenzhuo was restless once in Bozhou."

"Oh? Why are you restless?"

Yun Qi immediately told Bozhou and Chen Wenzhuo about what happened to Xie Changyuan.

Xie Zhaozhao's face darkened when he heard this: "What a mercenary bitch, how can he be such a brother!"

"What he said about the Bozhou incident was justified. It was because your fifth brother suddenly took Chen Shulan away that he launched a government manhunt. Later he said it was just a misunderstanding..." Yun Qi frowned and said, "This Chen Wenzhuo has some military merits."

"Only the Bozhou incident can't touch him."

"The Chen family is already very dissatisfied with Chen Zhiyuan's incident in Beijing and his engagement with me. If Chen Wenzhuo was killed at that time, I'm afraid things will be difficult for the Chen family here."

"So I left him to come to Northern Hebei."

"Chen Wenzhuo is very ambitious. He has to seize the title of King of Zhongshan in the northern Hebei region, and he will definitely not be content. I thought that I would take advantage of his mistakes when I get here."

"I see." Xie Zhaozhao nodded, "Although what happened today is just a family matter of the Chen family, given how much King Zhongshan loves Chen Shulan, he shouldn't let Chen Wenzhuo go lightly, right?"

"This..." Yun Qi pondered for a moment, "In the past month, Chen Shulan has hardly seen King Zhongshan."

"The King of Zhongshan may love Chen Shulan, but everyone within the Chen family has evil intentions. The King of Zhongshan also has deep thoughts. I don't know how he will deal with it."

"Haven't you seen it?"

Xie Zhaozhao thought for a moment and said, "Could it be because Dafang has already lost?"

"The King of Zhongshan promoted his second wife, but he was afraid that being nice to Chen Shulan would offend his second wife and make Chen Shulan's life difficult, so he simply didn't see her."

"It will be safe if outsiders think that Chen Shulan is an abandoned child."

Yun Qi nodded: "What you say makes sense...and the King of Zhongshan has a lot of connections. He should know what kind of impact the two families' feud over the title will have on a family."

"It's just that he can't deal with Chen Wenzhuo for no reason, so he needs a chance, an opportunity like today's incident."

Xie Zhaozhao narrowed his eyes slightly.

Yes, a man as capable as King Zhongshan would keep letting Chen Wenzhuo do all kinds of little things and ignore him?
Doesn't the King of Zhongshan know that Chen Wenzhuo has his mind set on Chen Shulan and wants to use her to win people's hearts?
He probably knows everything.

But he pretended not to know, just waiting for Chen Wenzhuo to make a mistake.

As long as Chen Wenzhuo makes a mistake, he will be dealt with immediately, and the storm of seizing the title will subside.

So what does Chen Shulan mean to the King of Zhongshan?
He may have truly loved Chen Shulan, his granddaughter, but in the face of the family's prosperity, Chen Shulan was insignificant and just an abandoned son.

Xie Zhaozhao suddenly felt a little cold on his body.

Terrible.

"Zhaozhao." Yun Qi took Xie Zhaozhao into his arms, "When did you come to Northern Hebei? I feel that you know a lot about the Chen family. You have never been to Northern Hebei before-" "It seems that you have not been to Northern Hebei." , the understanding of the Chen family and the King of Zhongshan should not be so clear."

What I was talking about before was of course the past life.

Xie Zhaozhao didn't pay much attention to the affairs between Xie Zhaozhao and the Chen family in his previous life.

Xie Zhaozhao was silent for a while, "I came yesterday."

Yun Qi opened his eyes wide, "Yesterday?"

"Yes, I arrived yesterday. I took a short rest outside the city and then inquired about the situation. I found out that the Chen family wanted to give you a daughter to be your concubine. I was so upset that I couldn't sleep all night."

Xie Zhaozhao looked at him with a faint expression, "I originally planned to go back to Beijing directly, and I didn't come to stop you from accepting a concubine."

"But after thinking about it for a while, I thought I'd better come and take a look. I want to see what kind of outstanding women we have prepared for you."

When Yun Qi first heard her saying "send his daughter to be a concubine", he immediately wanted to explain. But later when he heard Xie Zhaozhao's decent nonsense, he suddenly wanted to laugh, "Then you saw it? How many?"

"I saw one." Xie Zhaozhao said with a smile, "Chen Shuya."

"and then?"

"Young, beautiful, lively and cute."

Xie Zhaozhao curled his lips and said: "It's much better than me, who wields swords and guns, isn't it? And he is still young. You know, as people age, their beauty fades, and their love fades with age -"

Yun Qi laughed and said, "What are you talking about?"

Xie Zhaozhao didn't say that these were Chen Shuya's exact words. He just looked down at Yun Qi's delicate clothes in front of him and smiled softly: "Do you think there is anything special about me being one year older than you?"

"Do you think I'm a bit old...not as lively, smart, cute and well-behaved as the younger girls?"

"Fool."

Yun Qi sighed helplessly, lowered his head and kissed Xie Zhaozhao's forehead, "I just like you, no matter you are lively, smart, cold and domineering, or ugly and gray-haired, I just like you."

……

In the inn, Xie Changyuan looked at Chen Shulan who was sleeping soundly on the bed, silently tidied his clothes and tied his belt.

She had already drank the antidote and fell asleep.

Taking medicine and decoction takes time.

When she was being tortured by thousands of beauties and unable to support herself, she rubbed her ears and temples in Xie Changyuan's arms.

Xie Changyuan lifted his robe and sat on the edge of the bed.

After looking at it for a moment, Xie Changyuan leaned forward little by little, and his slender fingers couldn't help but fall on Chen Shulan's red face.

The sleeping Chen Shulan turned her face to his palm and murmured: "Xie Changyuan...save me..."

Xie Changyuan suddenly had a thought in his mind, lowered his head and kissed Chen Shulan's lips, tasting it lightly.

Chen Shulan opened her mouth in her sleep, as if she had self-awareness, and actually gave him a clumsy response.

Xie Changyuan was elated, and only left a little bit after kissing enough.

Chen Shulan's face turned redder than before, but it was much prettier than her snow-white complexion during the daytime banquet.

Xie Changyuan's eyes were dark and his voice was hoarse: "What should I do...I suddenly regretted that I didn't hug you directly just now."
