comeback [rebirth]

Seeing that the other party noticed him, Cen Yuan immediately looked away.

He suddenly felt less interested, so he quickly put on that relaxed mask again, not wanting to talk nonsense with Cen Yi, and said with a slight smile: "I still have something to do, so let's go ahead."

Cen Yi obviously also saw those two figures, and frowned slightly, but he also didn't say anything, and walked away after saluting to Cen Yuan.

·

Duan Deye is over sixty years old and has all white hair, but when he stands with his hands behind his back, he can still give people a majesty that cannot be ignored.

Seeing Cen Yuan walking alone in the direction where he and Yan Xuan were, he naturally ended the topic of conversation - about Yan Xuan and the second prince Cen Yuan's marriage.

He looked at Yan Xuan again, and said casually, "I don't know why, I haven't seen General Yan Shao for more than a month. After chatting today, I always feel that General Yan has changed a lot."

Yan Xuan: "..."

Prime Minister Duan said: "Maybe it's just the old man's illusion."

As soon as the words fell, Cen Yuan had already stepped in front of him.

"Second Highness."

Cen Yuan smiled hypocritically and saluted: "I have met the prime minister."

Nothing happened at this time, so Cen Yuan did not show any hostility towards Prime Minister Duan, with a faint smile on his face.

"Did I disturb the two of you?" Cen Yuan looked around between Prime Minister Duan and Yan Xuan several times, "What are you talking about?"

Yan Xuan pursed her lips and said nothing, then Prime Minister Duan said, "It's nothing, just talking about His Highness's marriage."

From the corner of his eye, Cen Yuan caught a glimpse of Yan Xuan who seemed to be staring at him, so he cast a glance at him.However, as soon as his gaze moved over, the other party immediately closed his eyes.

"..." Cen Yuan let out a small "tsk" in his heart, and looked at Prime Minister Duan again: "It's all unspoken things, and the father probably just asked in passing, so it shouldn't really mean that. yes."

"Hey, I don't dare to answer these words. How can you guess what the Holy One means?" Prime Minister Duan looked back and forth between the two, "But I think you two still have something to talk about, so I won't bother you."

Cen Yuan naturally didn't want to deal with this old fox any more, so he implicitly said "get lost".

Prime Minister Duan smiled kindly, like a respected elder, but as soon as he turned around, the smile fell from his face and was crushed into dust by his boots.

Duan Deye went out of the palace gate and got into the carriage of the prime minister's mansion, only to see that there was already a person waiting in the carriage.

That person was obviously Duan Meng, the Northern Army lieutenant who had spoken in the hall just now.

"Father-in-law," he called.

Duan Meng originally had no surname Duan, but after marrying Duan Deye's youngest daughter, he entered the Duan family and changed his surname, and was supported by Prime Minister Duan all the way to his current position.

After Duan Deye sat down, the coachman set up the carriage, and he immediately handed Duan Deye tea to fan him.The latter took the teacup and glanced at him: "Your Majesty, you are too reckless today."

Duan Meng was startled: "What does father-in-law say about this matter?"

Duan Deye said: "As for the marriage between the second prince and Yan Xuan, you shouldn't speak out, at least you shouldn't be the first to speak out."

"This……"

"Although all the ministers in the court know the position of the Duan family, those people also have their own thoughts in their hearts. But as long as you don't talk about this kind of thing, it will be tacit at most." Duan Deye flicked the tea leaves with the lid of the cup, He said unhurriedly, "I said it, I just clearly picked up the thorn in His Majesty's hand."

Obviously there is a breeze from time to time across the curtains, but Duan Meng feels like he is sweating profusely.

"Tell me," Duan Deye said, "At that time, will His Majesty still allow this thorn to linger on his hand?"

He calmly sipped his tea, while Duan Meng was sitting on pins and needles beside him.However, the words in the court have already been exported, and it seems that the water cannot be taken away. If the current emperor makes arrangements, the first to bear the brunt will be those who speak and support today.

Duan Meng called out for help: "My father-in-law..."

"It's been so many years. If you can't change your mind, don't speak casually next time." Although Duan Deye's tone is as calm as water, he still has the ability to make people shudder. "If there is a next time."

Duan Meng didn't even care about trembling, and said anxiously: "Then what are we now?"

"The marriage between the second prince and Yan Xuan has not yet been settled, so let's put it aside." Duan Deye put down the teacup, took out a towel and wiped his mouth, "I heard that His Majesty announced the second prince to enter the palace yesterday, not only Asked about marriage, and..."

Duan Deye glanced at the car curtain, lowered his voice and said, "I also asked the second prince what he thinks of the crown prince."

"what!"

Duan Meng yelled reflexively, and then saw Duan Deye glance at him coldly, then lowered his head again.

"Your Majesty asked this, is it because you want to..." He said again after a while.

"Who can guess His Majesty's mind?" Duan Deye said, "It's just that, although His Majesty has been in good health in the past few days, according to the imperial doctor's report, the Holy Majesty's heart disease may not last long."

"If the second prince is really appointed as the crown prince, the life of the Duan family may not be easy in the future." Duan Meng said, "But I really don't understand. Nowadays, in the court, no matter whether it is a person or a decision-making, it is obvious The fifth prince is even better. But why does His Majesty favor the second prince so much?!"

For a while, Duan Deye remained silent, only his eyes slanted slightly, and fell on Duan Meng's wristband.

The latter noticed his gaze and reminded softly: "In a few days, it will be Xia Miao's day."

Today's Daning is the world that Emperor Ning personally fought back on horseback. Therefore, although Emperor Ning is in poor health, he does not miss one of the four hunting activities every year.

And this hunting activity was held in the suburbs of Beijing, and each time the defensive task was handed over to the Northern Army.

Duan Deye didn't comment, just lowered his eyes and twirled the finger back and forth with one hand.As soon as the carriage stopped, the driver announced to the two people in the carriage: "Master, we are here."

"Understood." Duan Deye said towards the outside of the curtain, "Go down first."

"Yes."

The two stayed in the carriage for a while, before Duan Deye got up slightly, put one hand on Duan Meng's shoulder, and leaned closer and said, "Now that the hunting ground is fenced, it's not easy to do things."

Duan Meng's expression froze: "I will definitely live up to the mission of my father-in-law."

·

In front of the main hall, as soon as Prime Minister Duan left, there were only Cen Yuan and Yan Xuan left, and the courtiers had long since disappeared.

Cen Yuan knew that logically speaking, he should turn around and leave - he shouldn't even come over, otherwise, what if Emperor Ning knows that they are getting closer, and the marriage will be confirmed.

However, even though he thought so, he still couldn't control his legs, so he just walked towards Yan Xuan.

Since he heard about this marriage from Emperor Ning yesterday, it was the first time he was alone with the other party, and he felt a little uncomfortable for a while, and he didn't even know how to respond.

On the other side, Yan Xuan turned a blind eye to his awkward expression, and asked directly, "Did you drink your morning medicine?"

He seldom has obvious emotional ups and downs when he speaks, just like now, it sounds like an ordinary greeting.

Cen Yuan trembled inexplicably.

Those things that he didn't understand in his previous life were forcibly suppressed in his heart, but at this moment, they came to his mind like a broken bamboo, making him unable to forget even if he wanted to.

He didn't dare to look back at the other party, he set his eyes on a stone not far away, and muttered: "...um."

Yan Xuan beside him did not reply for a long time, but Cen Yuan knew that the other party was by his side and did not leave.

This state of silence between each other is really embarrassing. If it was a long time ago, Cen Yuan knew that this person was a boring gourd, and he always took the initiative to find topics to talk about.As for later, their conversations were very rare, and they usually broke up after saying a few words, and they simply walked away. How could such a relatively silent scene occur.

However, at this time, neither of them made a move to leave, and Cen Yuan didn't know how to speak, so he fell silent.

For a moment, there was only the soundless flow of air.

Cen Yuan folded his hands, huddled in his wide sleeves, and kept rubbing his arms.

Under the Lieyangpu mask, heat waves slowly flowed between the two figures, making it hard to tell where the tingling sensation on the arms came from.An indescribable sense of guilt penetrated into the limbs and bones, biting the flesh and blood like Gu worms.

I don't know how long it's been like this, Cen Yuan finally couldn't bear the silence, he secretly raised his eyes and glanced at it, trying to find some relaxing topics to talk about.However, as soon as I said it, it became a guilty excuse:

"I don't have a fever."
