Chapter 314 It’s best to leave
Yongheng couldn't wait for Qing'er and Jingyan to come home at noon, so he went to the Cining Palace excitedly after the morning court.
"My grandson sends his regards to the royal grandmother."
The old lady laughed and called out, "Why, it's only been one night, and you can't wait to come pick up Qing'er?"
Yongheng scratched his head. "Grandmother, is my grandson that kind of person? I actually have some news to share with you."
"Oh? Are you going to share it with me, an old man, or with your sister and Qing'er?" The old lady didn't buy Yongheng's words at all, and even saw through his thoughts completely.
Yongheng chuckled and sat down without any hesitation, "Let's all share and listen together."
After waiting for a while, Jingyan and Qing'er came to pay their respects reluctantly.
Yongheng was quite dissatisfied, "Jingyan, are you staying in bed again? Go and pay your respects to the Empress Dowager. Could you please pay more attention?"
Jing Yan was a little confused, "Brother? You're so excited so early in the morning. Don't tell me you have nothing better to do than come to the palace to take care of me."
That’s not the case. Yongheng still remembered the most important thing in his life. He waved his hand mysteriously, motioning the two to come closer.
"Do you know that the Fifth Prince and his men searched the city for most of last night, and they are so busy now that they are almost turning the capital upside down?"
Hearing this, Jingyan felt like laughing for some reason. Isn't this what the male protagonist of the novel does every day? He would dig three feet into the ground to find it.
"What are you laughing at?" Yong Heng was a little puzzled. "I haven't told you why yet. You don't really know, do you?"
Jingyan laughed even louder and waved her hands repeatedly, "What are you thinking? We were in the palace until very late last night, how could we possibly know."
That’s good, otherwise he would have come here so early in the morning for nothing.
Qing'er was getting a little anxious from the two people's procrastination. "Then why do you think he searched all over the capital?"
"The little swallow ran away."
"what?"
Yongheng nodded seriously, "No one knows the specific reason. Xiaoyanzi ran away last night, and the Fifth Prince searched for her for a long time but couldn't find her. I sent someone to the city gate to ask, and they said she must have left the city early this morning."
The old lady frowned. "Aren't they madly in love? What's going on?"
"Hey, who says it's not true? Besides, according to gossip, the Fifth Prince was beaten up by someone and chased out of the city with a pig's head on his head. When he left the city, the guards guarding the city gate almost didn't recognize him."
"Pfft," Jing Yan couldn't hold back and laughed out loud, "Who is so awesome that he only hits people in the face?"
"Who knows, but I think it's also related to Xiaoyanzi." Yongheng was mysterious and had his own set of inferences.
"Hey, now I'm really curious about what happened between them that made Xiaoyanzi run away in the middle of the night."
Because the Fifth Prince was beaten, Xiaoyanzi was locked up, so the Fifth Prince's mansion was quiet for a long time. As a result, just as the Fifth Prince had just finished being beaten, he started to cause trouble again.
If the emperor knew about this, he would be so angry that he would faint.
The brother and sister were talking excitedly, but Qing'er had already noticed that the old lady was angry.
She walked over to the old lady and calmed her down, "Old Lady, I think they are having another conflict. They are used to it. Just treat it as a joke, but don't get too angry."
The Empress Dowager took a deep breath and said, "I wouldn't be too shocked no matter what Yongqi does now. It's just a pity for Xinrong. After all, it was I who proposed this marriage. Now seeing Fifth Prince in such a mess, I feel uncomfortable."
Hearing this, Qing'er comforted her softly, "Xinrong thought it through before marrying the Fifth Prince. It was her own choice. In fact, it has nothing to do with you, Old Buddha."
Yongheng muttered softly, "Yeah, didn't we give her a chance to break off the engagement? Wasn't she determined to marry the Fifth Prince?"
Jingyan suggested, "How about this? Why don't we go out of the palace and see her later? Although this matter should have nothing to do with her, if she is in a bad mood, Qing'er and I can comfort her, so that the Empress Dowager can feel at ease."
The old Buddha nodded. "Then you can go and take a look. It shouldn't be anything serious. I'm mainly worried that the child will be upset. If there is any hidden secret or trouble that they can't solve, please report back to me."
So the three of them accompanied the Empress Dowager to have lunch and then left the palace.
On the other side, Xinrong was recounting with Guanbao Fujin what had happened in the past few days.
"You mean, Xiaoyanzi's relatives are here?"
Xinrong nodded, "It was her uncle and aunt. Perhaps they heard the news that Xiao Zhihang had overturned the verdict, so they knew Xiao Yanzi was in the capital."
"So what do you think of their attire? Do they want to come and seek refuge with Xiaoyanzi or do they want to take her home?"
Xinrong and the Xiao couple didn't say much about this, so naturally, they didn't know what they were thinking. "She doesn't dress like someone rich and powerful, but she's still quite respectable."
Guan Baofujin obviously thought more.
Now this little swallow has caused a lot of trouble in the mansion. Even since Xinrong got engaged to the Fifth Prince, almost all the troubles have been caused by this little swallow.
After a few days of peace, something big happened again.
If possible, Fu Jin really didn't want her daughter to worry about these things all day long.
"If they come to take Xiaoyanzi away, that's fine. But if they come to seek refuge with Xiaoyanzi, then they will cause you trouble again."
Xinrong recalled the couple's every move and shook his head slightly. "It seems like they are a respectable family. They probably have a business at home. They don't seem to be coming to seek refuge, but more like they are acknowledging their relatives."
"That would be great, but according to Mother, you might as well take this opportunity to let them take Xiaoyanzi away. That would save you a lot of worry."
It would be best if Xiaoyanzi could leave.
Xinrong also hopes to have some peace and quiet, but the Fifth Prince may not let her go. Looking at how crazy he is today, he might cherish her even more after this incident.
Once the two reconcile, they will probably be deeply in love again. Will they still be able to care about their uncle and aunt?
"My daughter thinks it's difficult."
"Everything depends on human effort. The Fifth Prince was extremely reluctant at first, like a chaste and virtuous woman, but now he's married to you and consummated the marriage. Everything depends on human effort!"
Fu Jin is a woman who is very open-minded and has a high degree of acceptance, otherwise she would not easily accept Xinrong marrying the bastard Fifth Prince.
In her eyes, good days are all planned by oneself. As long as Xinrong is happy, she can do anything.
"Go back later and find that couple. Tell them you're helping them find someone, and then briefly explain to them the suffering Xiaoyanzi has endured over the years. If they truly care about Xiaoyanzi, would they let their daughter suffer in this den of wolves?"
"What if they don't feel bad?"
"The worst that can happen is that they've never been here. It won't have any effect on you anyway."
