Chapter 310 Vitality
At this moment, both of them were stunned.
Time seemed to slow down very much, or even stop, at this moment.
Tears blurred her vision again—the man standing in front of Pei Yan and smiling at her was actually Jiang Hong!
"Your Highness!"
Pei Yan exclaimed in disbelief. She didn't care whether she was dreaming or not, or whether the person in front of her was real or fake. She rushed over, with the strength of moving forward and never looking back, and threw herself into the arms of a person who had been waiting for her for a long time.
Under the blue sky, the jade-like man was covered in rosy clouds, quietly opening his arms, waiting for the long-awaited hug. When the slender woman really ran over without hesitation and ran into his arms, the man's eyes instantly turned red.
"Your Highness, am I dreaming? Am I... am I hallucinating..." Pei Yan burst into tears.
Jiang Hong stroked her back, lifted her sobbing face slightly, wiped away the tears from her eyes and said, "I'm not dreaming, Yan'er, I'm right here, right in front of you, don't cry, you know, I can't bear to see you cry, once you cry, my heart will break."
Pei Yan cried, her eyes curved, and her tears were twisted by her eyelashes into pearls filled with starlight, falling down.
Jiang Hong said: "In fact, Prince Rui had already come to the palace to plead for me. Father was kind and allowed me to fake my death and leave the palace, and live in seclusion here from now on. But they didn't tell me that you would come. Are you...are you willing to stay here with me from now on?"
Jiang Hong asked cautiously, and his trembling voice fell into Pei Yan's ears, causing her heart to unconsciously ache.
The self-respecting and proud Crown Prince who grew up being admired and praised by others, he cared so much about her feelings and her answers.
Pei Yan smiled and nodded heavily: "I wish..."
The voice stopped abruptly.
As if she thought of something, her face turned pale in an instant.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Hong noticed that something was wrong with her and asked.
Pei Yan clenched her palms tightly and forced a smile with difficulty: "Of course I am willing to accompany Your Highness, but... I don't have time anymore. Before, I took the slow-acting poison that Miss Yun gave me in order to ask the emperor to help you. I'm afraid I won't live much longer. But don't worry, even if there is only one day left, I will accompany you until the last day."
"You..." Jiang Hong was stunned and pulled her into his arms: "How could you be so stupid to do this for me."
At this point, what else did she need to say? She didn't need to say anything, he already knew what she meant.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Crown Princess."
Chen Zhao's voice suddenly rang out from the forest: "Miss Yun asked me to tell you that the medicine the Crown Princess took is not a chronic poison, but a tonic to nourish the body. It is to regulate the Crown Princess's body. After today, the Crown Princess will be fine. She asked you not to worry."
As soon as he finished speaking, there seemed to be a gust of wind blowing from somewhere, the shadows of the trees swayed, and then peace returned to the world again.
Pei Yan and Jiang Hong were stunned, and finally smiled at each other as if they understood something.
“This was all arranged by them.”
Jiang Hong tightly grasped Pei Yan's hand, his eyes far-reaching: "Yes, I never thought that my sixth brother, who I always regarded as a thorn in my side, would give me a chance to live in the end. I am ashamed, ashamed. As the eldest brother, I am really ashamed."
Pei Yanhui held his hand and said gently, "The past is the past. From now on, there will no longer be Crown Prince Jiang Hong and Crown Princess Pei Yan in this world. There will only be Jiang Hong and Pei Yan, two ordinary people."
Jiang Hong: "We work from sunrise to sunset, and return home at sunset. We are two ordinary people who couldn't be more ordinary."
They looked at each other and smiled. He held her and she leaned in his arms, her eyes full of longing and hope for the future.
The snow is still falling, but in the quiet little courtyard on Chongyuan Mountain, there is already the breath of spring and the vitality that is blooming.
……
Ever since Emperor Jingsheng flew into a rage a few days ago and executed several ministers who submitted memorials criticizing Yun Zhong, the court has entered an unprecedented calm. Everyone in the court is worried about their safety, fearing that they might speak out of turn and become the next example to be used as a warning.
Therefore, even though the Crown Prince was dead and the Crown Princess committed suicide for love, the Eastern Palace was temporarily empty and no one dared to mention the matter of appointing a new Crown Prince.
There was another light layer of snow this morning.
Jiang Yu sat at the desk, playing with a seal in his hand, seemingly thinking about something.
Suddenly, there were three subtle knocking sounds.
Chen Zhao's voice came from outside the door: "My Lord, the Third Master Yun Qi requests to see you."
The slender fingers playing with the seal paused.
Yun Qi has always been a dull person, and he has been doing business for many years. He rarely interacts with people in the court. Why would he take the initiative to come here today?
Jiang Yu stood up and walked towards the meeting room, saying, "Please ask him to come in."
A moment later, Yun Qi, still feeling the chill of the wind and snow, strode into the conference room with a solemn expression.
He saluted towards Jiang Yu and said, "Your Highness Prince Rui, I am here today to tell you something important. The people at Xiuyi Tower have found irrefutable evidence that the Third Prince, Prince Chen, is colluding with the enemy and committing treason."
Jiang Yu frowned slightly, his eyes became sharp at this moment: "Xiu Yi Lou?"
Yun Qi nodded: "Yes."
He told Jiang Yu that Yun Li was the founder of Xiuyi Tower and that his sister was now the owner of Xiuyi Tower. It was she who asked the people in Xiuyi Tower to keep an eye on the developments in the capital and collect intelligence information after the incident in Liuzhou.
"She was going to come and tell you in person, but I came here on my own out of consideration for her safety."
After their joint rescue of Yun Shuning, Yun Qi had a good impression of his future brother-in-law. Moreover, the matter of Prince Chen was a serious matter and could not be taken lightly.
Yun Qi sat down opposite Jiang Yu, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "His Royal Highness Prince Chen is meticulous and his subordinates are also very cautious. Over the years, all the letters he communicated with the outside world were delivered in the name of the Duke. Therefore, although we suspected him before, we could not find any solid evidence that he was colluding with foreign enemies."
"This time, because of the urgent war on the border, the people of Southern Xinjiang were afraid of losing the war and could not sit still, so they sent people to sneak into Yanjing to contact the followers of Prince Chen secretly. They were caught by the people of Xiuyilou and were tortured to extract a confession from Prince Chen."
Jiang Yu said: "No wonder my people suddenly lost track of those people. It turns out that you have captured them. Please continue."
Yun Qi nodded and continued, "We also found a secret account book in the home of an official who was a member of the Prince's faction. The account book that the official recorded to protect himself detailed the embezzlement of military pay and the mastermind behind it, the Prince."
After saying that, Yun Qi took out an account book and several signed evidences from his arms and placed them in front of Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu closed his eyes.
With family members killing each other, treacherous people running rampant, internal factional strife and external powerful enemies, it's time to put an end to this chess game of the world.
At this moment, Chen Zhao's voice came from outside the door again: "My Lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to deliver a letter."
"Come in."
Seeing this, Yun Qi immediately stood up and said, "Your Highness Prince Rui, the things have been delivered. I will not stay any longer. Goodbye."
After saying this, he bowed, turned around and left quickly. Chen Zhao then handed the letter to Jiang Yu.
