Prince Consort

When Xie Ze'an saw Tan Wuqiu again, his mood was very complicated.

Tan Wuqiu is such a perceptive person, he suddenly found out that something was wrong with him.He smiled and asked, "What's wrong with Saburo?"

Xie Ze'an glanced at him quietly, and said, "Sir, I have one thing I don't understand."

Tan Wuqiu waited for his next words.

Xie Ze'an said: "I went out with my elder brother yesterday, and when I got home, I suddenly had a grandfather, and Dad and the others seem to have accepted him. Alas, there are such strange things in the world!"

Tan Wuqiu: "..."

What Tan Wuqiu knew about Xie Ze'an was that he was the child brought to Xie's family when Xie Jiyu remarried, and he didn't know the messy things Xie Qian did.After getting along these days, Tan Wuqiu has already discovered that this child is very unusual, no wonder Xie Jiyu can accept him without any grudges, and Zhao Ying is willing to put him by the prince's side as a servant.

Hearing Xie Ze'an sigh and talk about the "miraculous event" at home, he couldn't help being pleasantly surprised.

It seems that Xie Hui has returned to the capital.

Xie Ze'an said: "Recently, I have often consulted my husband, and I have benefited a lot. My father is very grateful for the teaching you have given me. I would like to invite you to my residence as a guest. I wonder if you are free?"

Tan Wuqiu looked up at Xie Zean.

Xie Ze'an looked at him without hesitation.

Tan Wuqiu said, "Okay."

Tan Wuqiu's visit to Xie's Mansion did not attract much attention.

The three long-lost friends finally had time to sit down and talk. Liang Jian was hesitant to tell Tan Wuqiu everything, but his hesitation disappeared after seeing Tan Wuqiu.He told all the changes in the capital over the years, especially the part related to the eldest princess.

After Tan Wuqiu finished listening, his eyes paused, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Such a "champion scholar" who abandons his wife and children and has bad conduct is really not worthy of Ah Man...

Xie Hui said: "Aman is not a child, if she really can't make it through, she will definitely not swallow her anger."

Liang Jian said, "So I keep asking why." He shook his head helplessly, "I just can't figure it out."

Tan Wuqiu sat quietly on the side for a long time, and finally said: "I hurt her too much..."

When the chaos arose, he rode his horse northward without hesitation, leaving her alone in the capital.She couldn't accept his choice, so she could only suspect her brother and everyone else, thinking that it was their unwillingness to save him that killed him and was buried in the battlefield.She didn't want to think about him as a foreign relative, and she didn't deserve anyone's suspicion. She just wanted to believe that he was forced to die because of helplessness.

After all, he never let her down since he was a child.

Xie Hui and Liang Jian were silent for a while.

Tan Wuqiu was very close to the royal family back then, and was raised in the palace by the queen mother since he was a child, and the only people he came and went with were the eldest princess, Prince Gong and others.He was older and took good care of the princesses and princes. On the contrary, Zhao Ying, who went to the fief early, didn't have much contact with him.Later, Tan Wuqiu would stand unswervingly by Zhao Ying's side, which really surprised them. However, Zhao Ying's performance really confirmed Tan Wuqiu's vision. In troubled times, a hero is needed. At that time, the world was in chaos, and people with strong wrists like Zhao Ying were needed. Calm down the scourge.

Liang Jian said: "Things have changed, it is useless to talk more." He poured himself a glass of wine, "I hope you have met the prince, what do you think of him?"

Tan Wuqiu said: "It's different from what I imagined, but it's not bad."

Liang Jian's face darkened: "Your Majesty doesn't seem to think so. If Yan Ning hadn't begged hard, he might be planning to choose another prince among the princes."

Tan Wuqiu was taken aback, sighed and said, "This is really like His Majesty's temper, His Royal Highness is not up to his requirements in some respects."

Liang Jian looked at Xie Ze'an, who was sitting on the sidelines and listening, and said: "This is also the reason why Yan Ning put Sanlang next to the prince. The prince needs someone who can advise him."

Both Tan Wuqiu and Xie Hui's eyes fell on Xie Ze'an.

Xie Ze'an said shyly, "How can I make any suggestions..."

Liang Jian: "..."

Why does he seem to be beating this kid up so much?

Liang Jian said: "This kid is quite capable. Yao Dingyan and Xu Juncheng are competing with him. One or two teach them more attentively than anyone else."

Tan Wuqiu has naturally heard about Yao Dingyan and Xu Juncheng, two rising stars.He has a good opinion of these two people, one can stabilize the overall situation and the other dares to take the lead, both are rare talents.

Being able to win the favor of these two people at the same time, Xie Ze'an is definitely not only "a little clever".

At the same time, Liang Jian and the three of them looked over at the same time, Xie Ze'an was under a lot of pressure.

He hid beside Xie Dalang, smiling all over his face: "You guys keep talking, don't look at me, it makes my little heart thump, it's very unsettling, if you keep looking at me like that, I won't be able to sleep well tonight ..."

Xie Hui said: "Hey, look at how energetic you are when you speak, you sound quite energetic. Let's practice for another hour tonight."

Xie Ze'an: "..."

He kept his mouth shut, and sat on the side obediently and peacefully.

At this time, Xie Jiyu suddenly said: "Uncle Lin Jun, don't you plan to restore your previous identity?"

Tan Wuqiu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.He once failed Ah Man, and now he still fails Ah Man, but even if he reappears as "Linjun", he will make the same choice when faced with the same situation.

He couldn't give Ah Man what he wanted.

Rather than letting Ah Man experience another heartbreak and despair, it is better not to recognize each other.

What Xie Jiyu wanted to talk about was not the eldest princess Tan Wuqiu thought of, he said slowly: "Prince Gong came to Xie Mansion before leaving Beijing..."

Liang Jian paused when he heard the words.

Liang Jian just kept Zhao Ying's suspicion of Prince Gong from mentioning it, because he didn't want Tan Wuqiu to think of Prince Gong whom he once regarded as his own brother.Regardless of whether those letters were written by Prince Gong to Xie Qian, it is always true that Prince Gong harbored ill intentions towards Tan Wuqiu.Although it is very unkind to say so, it is not easy for Haoyou to make up his mind not to recognize the eldest princess. He really does not want his friend to leave the tiger's den and enter the wolf's den.

It's not that the eldest princess is bad, but it's a pity for Tan Wuqiu.When Xie Qian married the eldest princess, many people regretted Xie Qian's bright future, but who regretted Tan Wuqiu back then?He didn't even have the chance to be named on the gold list, and he had already been assigned to be the son-in-law of the eldest princess.Even during the period of peace and chaos, he employed talents in an eclectic manner, and his status as a relative was criticized by many people. They only knew how to scold Tan Wuqiu's relatives for monopoly, but they never thought that if Tan Wuqiu was not a son-in-law, it would only be a matter of time before he became a minister.

Anyway, in Liang Jian's view, it would definitely not be a good thing for Tan Wuqiu to get involved with the emperor's relatives.

Let the past be the past.

Liang Jian said, "Ji Yu, why did you mention this all of a sudden?"

Xie Jiyu said something amazing: "The prince told me that time, father will return to Beijing soon."

Xie Jiyu always regarded it as a joke made by Prince Gong, and never mentioned this ridiculous thing to anyone.Only when he saw Xie Hui did he realize that Prince Gong was not joking, what does this mean?

Xie Jiyu said: "I think the lord knows that dad and you are alive." He paused for a moment, sorted out his thoughts before continuing, "If Uncle Lin Jun wants to change his name and surname, I'm afraid he will have to find a way to stop the lord."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

The more Xie Hui thought about it, the more he felt that this could explain the strangeness of the "resurrection" of several of them.

If there was Prince Gong's secret help, it would make sense why Mr. Yang was able to save a few of his people in the first place.

Tan Wuqiu was stunned for a rare moment.

He thought of Prince Gong who personally visited that day, when the man saw him there was nothing unusual, as if he was just a stranger.If what Xie Jiyu said is true, then there are actually two explanations for Prince Gong's behavior. One is that Prince Gong really didn't recognize him, and the other is that Prince Gong knew he was there long ago and was prepared in his heart, so There was no surprise on his face...

Tan Wuqiu grabbed the handrail and said, "I'll go back and talk to Uncle Yang..."

When Tan Wuqiu returned to the courtyard Zhao Chongzhao had prepared for him, old man Yang was making medicine.Hearing the news of his return, without raising his eyelids, he asked, "Oh, it's so rare that you actually go out."

Tan Wuqiu said: "Brother Xie has arrived in the capital, I went to chat with him."

Old man Yang continued to make medicine.

Tan Wuqiu said, "Uncle Yang, how did you save me back then?"

Old man Yang said, "I thought you wouldn't know how to ask."

Tan Wuqiu was silent.

Old man Yang said: "How can I save you? It was Zhao Yuan who stopped and rode into the siege and rescued you who were already seriously injured. At that time, he was hit by six or seven arrows. It's almost there." He put down the medicine pestle slowly, "He brought your 'corpse' to beg me to renew your life, but I am not a god, how can I bring the dead back to life? He insisted that you are not dead, and you are still alive Take a breath, so I put you in the cave where the cold and hot air meet, and barely hold your remaining breath."

Tan Wuqiu paused and closed his eyes.

Old man Yang said: "When I promised to save you, I made a condition that I asked him to burn down the battlefield, and made a death oath that he would never disclose the news that you were still alive to others. You know that I hate the people in the royal family the most." , I spent so much effort to save you, I really don't want you to jump into the fire pit again. But I know I won't be able to stop you once you wake up, you kid never listen to my advice..." He said coldly After finishing speaking with a straight face, he turned his back on Tan Wuqiu and continued to make medicine, obviously unwilling to talk to Tan Wuqiu again.

Tan Wuqiu had mixed feelings in his heart.

After waking up, he inquired about many things about Prince Gong, repeatedly guessing the reason why Prince Gong had been doing business all these years, but he never thought about the connection between his "resurrection" and Prince Gong.Now that I think about it, there were not many people who could rescue them in such a dangerous situation. At that time, Prince Gong who was in charge of the end was the most likely person.

The friendship from childhood came to mind, and Tan Wuqiu fell into a long silence.
