Chapter 241 Being Picked on by an Admirer
In the inner courtyard, Yan Feibai pushed open Yan Wanwan's door and saw her sitting at the table, holding a secret letter from the border in her hand, with a solemn expression.
He walked forward and asked in a deep voice, "My daughter, you said you were going to the border, so what are your plans next? Tell me a little bit so I can be mentally prepared."
Yan Wanwan raised her head and calmly analyzed, "Father, the court is about to fall into chaos. Our Zhennan Palace holds military power and will inevitably be dragged into this storm. If you can, leave as soon as possible. There's no need to wade into this muddy water."
Yan Feibai was stunned, his brows furrowed. "Great chaos? Could it be that the Prince of Dongping is behind this?"
Yan Wanwan shook her head and said calmly, "It's not the Prince of Dongping, it's those princes. They are unwilling to let the throne be taken away by the young emperor, and have begun to plot secretly. Moreover, the border is in chaos, and they plan to take advantage of the new emperor's ascension to the throne to attack several border cities. For us, going to the border is the best option."
Upon hearing this, Yan Feibai's expression suddenly turned serious: "The border is in chaos? How did you know? Is the information accurate?"
Yan Wanwan smiled slightly, picked up a secret letter from the table and handed it to him: "Ever since I went to the border to repel the Northern Di army last time, I left a special contact information there. The speed of obtaining information is faster than an express mail of 800 miles."
Yan Feibai took the secret letter and quickly glanced through it, his expression becoming increasingly serious: "An enemy attack is no small matter. Once the border is lost, the consequences will be disastrous."
Yan Wanwan raised an eyebrow, her tone teasing, "Father, didn't you have rebellious intentions before? Why are you worried about this now? Isn't this your chance?"
Yan Feibai was stunned by what she said, then smiled awkwardly: "The emperor has been replaced before any action has been taken! I think rebellion is also for the sake of survival. At present, it seems that the little emperor will not want your father's life, so why bother to rebel? Besides, the situation is complicated now, and the desire to rebel is not as strong as before."
Yan Wanwan smiled mysteriously, with a hint of deep meaning in her eyes: "Don't worry, father, I will help you realize your wish."
Yan Feibai was completely confused. What did this mean? His brain was a bit slow to react!
Yan Wanwan didn't answer directly. She just stood up, straightened her sleeves, and said calmly, "Father, it's good that you know about this matter. Tomorrow I will go to the General's Mansion to find Qin Yu and tell him the situation so that he can be mentally prepared."
Yan Feibai nodded repeatedly, "Well, go ahead! Let him prepare early."
The Prince of Zhennan's Mansion and the General's Mansion are the only two generals in the court who can control the three armies. As long as they are fine, the border cannot be broken.
The next morning, Yan Wanwan rode his horse straight towards the general's mansion.
As soon as Yan Wanwan arrived at the door of the general's mansion, she heard a sharp and sarcastic voice.
She looked up and saw several gorgeously dressed women standing in front of the mansion gate, staring at her with unfriendly eyes.
One of the women in a pink silk dress sneered, her tone full of sarcasm: "Oh, isn't this Princess Yan? Why, since you're already lucky enough to marry General Qin, why are you still attracting bees and butterflies all day long and seducing the Regent? What a clever trick!"
Another woman echoed, "That's right! The Regent doesn't even look at any of us, but treats you differently. I don't know what kind of seductive tricks you used!"
Several people kept talking in a sarcastic tone. Yan Wanwan looked at them suspiciously, and suddenly realized: "You are the opera troupe invited by the general's mansion!"
In an instant, the faces of several women turned livid and they glared at her.
However, at this moment, she also realized that several people were Qin Yu's admirers, and they often hung around the general's mansion, trying to attract Qin Yu's attention.
However, they didn't know that Yan Wanwan and Qin Yu had divorced long ago, and she was no longer the general's wife. Therefore, they couldn't help but mock her when they saw her, and in fact they were jealous to death.
Moreover, some of these women were more adept at casting a wide net, and many had tried to approach the Prince of Dongping, but were repeatedly rejected. The Prince of Dongping ignored them, even speaking harshly to them, not giving them any chance at all. However, he had a special eye for Yan Wanwan, which made them want to trample Yan Wanwan under their feet to show off their own charm.
Seeing Yan Wanwan unmoved, one of the women brought up the past, her tone filled with sarcasm: "I heard that in order to get General Qin to look at her more, County Lady Yan even went out of her way to take in those remnant soldiers, pretending to be so righteous. And what was the result? Wasn't she still ignored by General Qin? She's really just a bootlicker who ends up with nothing!"
Yan Wanwan listened to these harsh words, but her expression remained unmoved. She scoffed, her gaze icy as she swept over the group of women, her tone tinged with disdain, "Have you come to the wrong place? Instead of wasting your time gossiping, why not go find the person involved and offer your courtesy? Maybe you'll even earn a smile."
The group of women were choked by her words and were speechless for a moment, their faces suddenly turned ugly.
The pink-dressed woman was furious and humiliated. She shrieked, "What are you so proud of? You're just a woman ignored by General Qin, and you really think you can climb up to the high position of the Regent?"
Yan Wanwan was too lazy to bother with them anymore and walked into the mansion.
However, the woman in the pink dress refused to give in and blocked her path with her hand. "Stop! Since you don't deserve General Qin's favor, if you know what's good for you, leave immediately and don't ruin General Qin's happiness."
Yan Wanwan stopped and stared at her with a sharp gaze. After looking her up and down for a moment, he suddenly said, "This lady looks familiar!"
The woman named immediately puffed out her chest, but before she could get too proud, she heard Yan Wanwan continue, "Before, Qin Yu had a limp, and it seemed like you disliked him the most! You even called him a cripple in public several times."
The woman's face turned pale instantly. She had indeed said these words, but she hadn't thought Qin Yu would recover at the time! Otherwise, she would never have said those nonsense, cutting off her chance of entering the general's mansion.
Before the others could react, Yan Wanwan had already looked over one by one and told them everything they had done. The few people who had been so arrogant just now instantly wilted like quails, stammering and unable to speak.
They looked down on Qin Yu when she was disabled, but now they feel a little disgusted when she comes to lick her.
After speaking to these people in one breath, Yan Wanwan warned, “Get out of the way now.”
The woman in the pink dress shuddered at her cold gaze, but quickly feigned composure and sneered, "What? You still want to attack us? This is the general's mansion. If you dare to attack us, I'll see if General Qin will divorce you!"
At this moment, a low and cold voice came from the mansion: "Who is making a noise in front of the mansion gate?"
