Chapter 177 Mist
When the brother and sister met, there was no polite conversation and they just started eating.
It’s just that Jiang Feng eats a little less than Guan Shanyun, but he never complains. He just thinks she is too thin and should eat more.
So, he transferred all kinds of delicacies to Jiang Feng's plate bit by bit, with chopsticks.
Jiang Feng didn't say a word and went straight to the point, saying, "Brother, did Chu Yan surrender to King Ning?"
There was turmoil in the court, how could Guan Shanyun not know about it?
He knew that Jiang Feng must have come for Chu Yan.
Although it was expected, it was still disappointing.
He didn't say anything, but nodded as a response.
"What is she planning?" Jiang Feng really didn't understand.
Guan Shanyun said helplessly: "Glory. Wealth. Power. Love."
"But can she get these by surrendering to Prince Ning?"
"She thinks so."
Jiang Feng was discouraged.
He asked again: "Even if Old Man Sun is a skilled doctor and can help her regain her beautiful appearance, she will still be jealous of Sister Aying's disfigurement. Now that they both surrender to King Ning, can Aying handle it?"
Guan Shanyun said: "Aying has encountered opponents who are more vicious and cunning than Chu Yan."
After hearing this, Jiang Feng didn't know whether to be sad or relieved.
It was sad to know what kind of purgatory Yuan Ying had gone through! Fortunately, her past sufferings gave her the ability and confidence to face the dangers that Chu Yan might bring.
Guan Shanyun said: "Prince Ning should not have presented the will to Your Majesty yet. Even if he had, could Your Majesty still change the crown prince?"
Jiang Feng disagreed. She said with certainty: "Your Majesty will not change the crown prince. The prince will ascend to the throne smoothly. But it is precisely because of this that the edict is so scary."
Guan Shanyun knew that Jiang Feng and Yuan Ying had an agreement that if Ruizong Li Dan abdicated to Li Longji, Yuan Ying must withdraw from Prince Ning's team.
He originally thought that it was Jiang Feng's way of making Yuan Ying give up her obsession.
But when he heard her say this again, he felt that she was extremely serious and determined.
Jiang Feng added: "Chu Yan first took the will from me, then defected from Prince Xue, and finally joined the enemy's camp. Brother, what do you think the prince will think?"
Guan Shanyun's heart sank, and he said, "The prince is too broad-minded..."
Jiang Feng said: "I may be magnanimous about other things, but I cannot tolerate even the slightest bit of disloyalty."
"Then I can't suspect Prince Xue."
Jiang Feng shook his head and said, "Feng Changqing said yesterday that Princess Taiping visited Prince Xue's residence late at night on the second day of the closed-door meeting between Princess Taiping and Prince Ning."
Guan Shanyun clenched the teacup.
Jiang Feng looked worried and said, "The strange thing is that the content of the princess's conversation with Prince Ning was leaked early. But the content of her conversation with Prince Xue was kept secret."
Guan Shanyun said: "Didn't you say that he has no ambition to become the king?"
Jiang Feng said: "I don't know. Maybe Princess Taiping and the prince didn't say anything, but I am just worried."
Guan Shanyun asked: "Are you worried about him?"
Jiang Feng said: "Although we haven't married yet, the imperial edict from His Majesty appointing me as the prince's concubine is on display at home. He and I are tied together."
Is this what it means to share life and death, and support each other?
Guan Shanyun even became jealous of that person.
He said: "Aying said that Chu Yan not only surrendered to Prince Ning, but also changed her name and became Prince Ning's concubine. Prince Ning intended to present the imperial edict to the emperor immediately, but was stopped by the Princess of Ji'an."
Jiang Feng asked in surprise: "Why?"
Guan Shanyun said: "The day after Chu Yan presented the will, rumors about it started to spread. They might be trying to test your majesty's attitude."
Jiang Feng said: "Or maybe, they are waiting for an opportunity. An opportunity to overthrow the prince in one fell swoop and then use their trump card."
Guan Shanyun is a generous person and hates all these intrigues and deceptions the most.
He had been free and easy in the martial world for ten years, but in the ten months since he entered Chang'an, he saw all kinds of plotting and scheming, and understood the sinisterness and vanity of human nature.
He wanted to just walk away.
But I dare not.
He could not forget the last time Jiang Feng passed away due to injuries, first one of his arms was disabled, and then he almost lost his life when he entered the palace.
He can always do something if he stays in Chang'an!
Guan Shanyun said, "Don't worry too much. I still say that the battle for the throne is the business of the men of the Li family. It's useless for you to worry about it. Besides, the Crown Prince and Prince Xue are brothers who are of one mind, and it's not easy to separate them."
He thought for a moment, and then said, "It is my responsibility that Chu Yan caused such chaos. Now that things have come to this, I also have a way to restrain her."
Jiang Feng said: "Everyone has their own aspirations. She should pay for her mistakes herself. What does it have to do with you, brother? I asked you out because I want to know her whereabouts. I'm worried that he might harm Yuan Ying. Don't put yourself in danger, brother!"
