Chapter 151 Regret
Chapter 151 Regret
"My lord, forgive me."
Seeing that the King of Qi was angry, Yan Junyuan lowered his posture and said, "What I mean is, can't we do something? Stop Yan Qing from marrying the Fourth Prince. This will also be good for His Highness..."
"Is it good for this king?"
The King of Qi sneered and glared at Yan Junyuan angrily: "If you really cared so much about me, you shouldn't have allowed your concubine's daughter to seduce Lu Qiaonan!"
Whenever Ying Chu thought of this, he became furious.
In the past, he was concerned that Yan Junyuan was Yan Qing's biological father, and he wanted to use Yan Junyuan to win over Yan Qing, so he had to swallow his anger. But who would have thought that Yan Junyuan was such a coward!
Not only is he not Yan Qing’s father.
And he was divorced by Ye Xiruo!
It's a disgrace to all men in the world!
How dare he instigate him to rebel against his father? Did Yan Junyuan think that others couldn't see through his little tricks?
He is no longer the Shangshu of the past!
Ying Chu raised his hand and knocked the teacup on the table to the ground, where it fell right at Yan Junyuan's feet.
The teacup shattered, and the scalding hot tea splashed all over Yan Junyuan.
He knelt on the ground with a plop: "Your Highness, please forgive me!"
Ying Chu was seething with rage. "Do you know how much effort I put into winning over Lu Qiaonan? As long as Yan Qing remained as single-mindedly devoted to Lu Qiaonan and the Lu family as before, that old man, Ye Zhennan, would have been on my side, whether he wanted to or not. But that was all ruined by your good concubine!"
If Yan Tan had not seduced Lu Qiaonan on their wedding night, Yan Qing would not have divorced Lu Qiaonan. If they had not divorced, the General's Mansion would still be under his control.
And what he didn't say was that if Yan Qing was in the Lu family, even if Ye Zhennan still didn't support him, he could easily deal with the General's Mansion, instead of it being so difficult to squeeze someone into the General's Mansion like it is now!
The staff member at the side advised: "Your Highness, calm down. Talking about this now won't change anything. Why don't we think of a way to prevent the princess and the fourth prince from getting married..."
Yan Junyuan slammed his head to the ground and said, "Yes, yes, yes, Your Highness, if you have any orders, as long as it is something I can do, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Ying Chu's eyes fell on him.
His eyes shifted, and he suddenly snorted, "What else can we do? Unless Princess Qinghe can become a member of Prince Qi's Palace, no one can stop this arranged marriage..."
Become a member of Prince Qi's palace?
Yan Junyuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "Your Highness, don't worry. I know what to do. Please wait for my good news!"
After saying this, Yan Junyuan left in a hurry.
The staff watched his back disappear into Prince Qi's mansion and looked at Prince Qi with hesitation: "Your Highness, do you think Yan Junyuan can really..."
"Humph!"
The King of Qi snorted coldly, his eyes showing disdain: "If he had any ability, he wouldn't have ended up like this today!"
"Then why did the prince..."
"Of course it's to make trouble for my fourth brother!"
The King of Qi stood up, his hands behind his back, and looked at the sky outside. He said, "This arranged marriage is like a fishbone stuck in my throat. If I feel uncomfortable, then naturally I will make my fourth brother feel uncomfortable too."
He didn't need to know whether Yan Junyuan could do what he asked.
As long as it can cause trouble for Gu Huaizhou.
He felt great!
Yan Junyuan went all the way back to Yan Mansion.
Ever since Madam Zhen took Yan Tan and Yan Hao away, many servants in the Yan Mansion have also left, and now the mansion is very deserted.
Yan Junyuan looked at the fallen leaves and dust in the aisle and felt inexplicably sad.
He knew that the King of Qi was using him.
But he had no other choice.
Now everyone in the court avoids him like the plague, and His Majesty doesn't pay much attention to him. He only has the title of Shangshu, but has no place to stand.
Having offended Yan Qing and the General's Mansion, he had no choice but to stand on the side of King Qi.
Only if the King of Qi wins this political struggle, he may have a chance of survival.
For this little chance of survival, he must not retreat!
Yan Junyuan took a deep breath and went to Shou'an Hall.
Now, he only has his mother left...
Shou'an Hall.
Just as Old Madam Yan and Mrs. Gu were resting, they heard Aunt Mei come in and say, "Old Madam, the Master is here."
"What is he here for?"
The old lady was immediately furious and waved her hands repeatedly: "Let him go, unfilial son! What are you doing here?"
"Mother~"
Yan Junyuan has already walked in.
He knelt beside the old lady, grabbed her hand and said aggrievedly: "You are the only one my son has."
Madam Yan withdrew her hand coldly: "I am going to rest now, please go down."
Yan Junyuan refused: "Mom, I just want to talk to you."
In the past, when he was depressed, he would either go to Ye Xiruo or to Madam Zhen.
But now I can't go anywhere.
I can only come to my mother to nag her.
However, Madam Yan didn't want to listen to his nagging. She raised her hand and slapped Yan Junyuan: "Evil son, if you have time to talk here, why don't you think of a way to save your mother!"
Yan Junyuan was surprised and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"what happened?"
Madam Yan's mouth twitched at the question. Her son actually asked her what was wrong? He must be trying to piss her off to death!
Aunt Mei stepped forward and said, "Master, the old lady has been taken away by the people from the Fourth Prince's Mansion every night to take out the night incense. She only returns home at dawn. The old lady is old and her body can't bear it..."
Yan Junyuan then remembered that she was going to the Fourth Prince's mansion to burn incense at night.
He suddenly felt guilty: "Mom, I'm sorry, it's my son's fault. Please hit me, I will bear it..."
"Get out of here!"
Old Madam Yan didn't want to see her son at all.
Yan Junyuan burst into tears: "I'm sorry, mother, I'm sorry, you can hit me or scold me..."
He grabbed Old Lady Yan's hand and slapped himself in the face.
Old Mrs. Yan had been pouring night incense all night and was already exhausted. At this moment, her son's disturbance made her even more anxious and short of breath.
She wanted to pull her hand back, but Yan Junyuan was immersed in his own guilt and grief. Not only did he not let go, he grabbed the old lady's hand even harder and slapped himself.
Old Mrs. Yan's chest heaved violently and her cheeks flushed red.
She glared at Yan Junyuan: "Let go..."
"Mother, please scold your son!"
"Please don't feel sorry for your son..."
"Evil...son!"
"Yes, that's right, scolding my son harshly..."
Yan Junyuan didn't notice anything unusual about Old Lady Yan. Instead, he cried even louder, just like when he was a child, crying loudly on his mother's lap.
But Old Lady Yan's face had turned purple with anger.
"Bah!"
Finally, amidst Yan Junyuan's noisy crying, Old Lady Yan felt a pang in her heart and fell to the ground!
"mother--!"
