Shen Qi was shocked by Princess Nanling's proposal to find a husband.
After the banquet, he left Princess Nanling alone, intending to have a good chat with her.
Princess Nanling seemed to understand what he wanted to say, and before Shen Qi could speak, she said: "I am not joking about finding a husband, this is a task my father gave me, and it is also my own idea. "
Shen Xi was a little at a loss, he asked: "But princess, you are going to inherit the position of Nanling king in the future, if your husband chooses back from Donghe, wouldn't you have any worries?"
Princess Nanling smiled, and said nonchalantly: "I choose whoever I choose, and there is no such thing as worrying about the future. If I am really unlucky and lose sight, and he betrays me in the future, then I will admit it too."
Princess Nanling has finished talking to this point, and Shen Qi has nothing to say, so he just said: "Then wish the princess finds a lover in advance."
Ye Linjiang and Ye Cheng were very worried about the fact that Princess Nanling was looking for a husband in Donghe. They always felt that Princess Nanling's purpose this time was not pure.
But they didn't have any evidence, and they couldn't casually suspect guests from afar.
After thinking about it all night, Prime Minister Ye suggested to Shen Qi that Ye Linjiang should protect Princess Nanling.
"The princess is honorable, we should send someone to protect her."
Shen Qi agreed without thinking carefully. He was not as complicated as Ye Chengxiang thought, because he had met Princess Nanling after all, and he had a certain balance in his heart about Princess Nanling's character, so he could trust Princess Nanling.
Ye Linjiang followed Princess Nanling conscientiously for a long time, and he didn't want to turn around until Princess Nanling was going back to the inn.
Unexpectedly, Nanling stopped him.
"General Ye, don't you want to come and take a look? What if there are bad guys in this inn?"
After Ye Linjiang knew that Nanling lived in the inn, she had already sent someone to secretly protect the inn, so there could be no bad guys in the inn. Nanling also brought experts here, and she knew in her heart that the inn was safe.
Ye Linjiang thought, Nanling stopped him this time, maybe he had something else to tell him.
So he nodded and said, "Then I'll check out the danger for the princess before leaving."
After entering the inn, Nan Ling led him straight upstairs.
Nan Ling didn't speak until he stopped in front of a room: "General Ye, there are people inside who want to see you."
Then he opened the door.
There were indeed several people sitting in the room, and they were acquainted by Ye Linjiang.
When the princess said that someone wanted to see him, Ye Linjiang guessed who was in the house, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he was still surprised.
"You are back," he said. "Welcome back."
Gu Nanjiu shook the folding fan in his hand, and said with a teasing smile, "But General Ye's expression doesn't look like he's welcoming us."
Only then did Ye Linjiang laugh, and said, "Welcome back."
Chang An poured the tea, and signaled to Ye Linjiang: "Cousin, come in and have some tea."
Nan Ling tactfully closed the door for them, turned and left.
Not long after Ye Linjiang sat down, he asked Chang An: "Did you bring Shen Qi away this time?"
Chang An nodded, "That's right, I'll take him away."
Ye Linjiang asked again: "Have you thought of a countermeasure?"
Chang An smiled, and said, "There is no countermeasure, just take it away, the kind that doesn't care about the consequences."
This surprised Ye Linjiang.
He asked, "Why? Are you not afraid of having a bad influence on Shen Qi?"
Chang An straightened his expression, and said with a bit of distress: "No matter what impact it has, it can't compare to the impact I have had on him during my absence."
Zhong Mo and Gu Nanjiu have been exchanging letters, so Chang'an knows all about Shen Qi's condition. From the beginning when I knew Chang'an passed away, I wanted to follow him, then I held my breath and wanted to avenge Chang'an, and then I had Xiao Niannian and wanted to continue living. Chang'an knew that he could feel Shen Qi's pain in Nanling, but he couldn't do anything about it.
It's not that he didn't think about coming back to find Shen Qi regardless, but he was also tied down by some things about Nanling at that time, and it was absolutely impossible for him to let go.
So he endured, endured his distress for Shen Qi, endured his longing for Shen Qi, waited for everything to be over, found a suitable opportunity, and then came back here to pick up Shen Qi.
This time he had no plan, he just wanted to take Shen Qi away.
But Gu Nanjiu disagreed with his thoughts and advised him to calm down. After all, Chang'an had planned for a long time to let Shen Qi leave the throne logically, if he didn't care about it now, then why bother to separate from Shen Qi during this period.
Gu Nanjiu explained to Ye Linjiang: "Chang'an is speaking out of anger, the plan remains the same, push the fifth prince to the throne, and let Shen live here."
Only then did Ye Linjiang feel relieved, and began to explain the current situation to Gu Nanjiu and Chang'an, "The fifth prince recently negotiated cooperation with Beisai, and was praised by many ministers in the court, and my father also praised him rarely. Since then, Shen Qi has handed over many matters to the fifth prince, and everyone has no objection to this."
Gu Nanjiu nodded and said: "Zhong Mo told me this in the letter, we have considered this before coming, and we all think that it is the most suitable time to hand over the throne to the Fifth Prince."
Ye Linjiang nodded, expressing his agreement with Gu Nanjiu's words.
After being quiet for a while, Ye Linjiang asked again: "Are you the only two back this time?"
Chang An nodded, "Only the two of us are back, Third Uncle and the others stay in Nanling to do something."
Chang'an said something happened, Ye Linjiang thought it must be a big deal, so he didn't ask any more questions, just nodded to show that he knew.
Gu Nanjiu suddenly laughed, and said, "General Ye didn't even ask what it was, so he wasn't curious?"
Now that Gu Nanjiu said so, Ye Linjiang really asked: "What are the three uncles doing in Nanling?"
Chang An said: "He An met a girl he liked in Nanling, the girl became pregnant not long after they got married, and now she is about to give birth, so neither He An nor the third uncle can come back. "
Ye Linjiang was shocked by the news.
In his impression, He An was still a child, so it was really hard for him to imagine what it would be like to be a father with An.
Ye Linjiang said with emotion: "Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, An and An are going to be parents."
After sighing, Ye Linjiang asked again: "What are you here this time? The princess' bodyguard?"
Gu Nanjiu shook his head and said: "It's the princess' righteous brother, and my sister wants to choose a husband, so we, as brothers, will help my sister."
Chang'an quickly explained to Ye Linjiang: "I followed Mr. Gu to Nanling and lived in Gu's mansion. Uncle Gu was originally a figure that others paid attention to. When a few strangers suddenly appeared in the mansion, many people asked him. Gu Uncle said that He An and I were both his sons. After the situation stabilized, he sent Mr. Gu to pick us up. Not long after becoming Uncle Gu’s son, I was recognized by the Lord Nanling as his adopted son by accident. , so the two of us are now considered as Princess Nanling's righteous brothers."
