Chapter 221: Intercepted
Nanny didn't say anything, she just hugged the Princess of Yan in front of her, "You always turn back after you've suffered a loss. If our people hadn't seen the place where the Prince of Yan hid his concubine, you would never believe it even if you were beaten to death."
Princess Yan came out of the wet nurse's arms and hugged her arms as she did when she was little, "Nanny, I know I was wrong. Those three people, don't think they will have an easy life."
"What about that one?" The nurse pointed her chin towards the study and said, "Just let him breathe like this?"
The Princess of Yan's eyes no longer had the tenderness and affection of the past. "How is that possible! Mammy, I didn't insist on marrying him at the beginning. You know that."
"What can we do now? We can only rely on Master Zhu. Our Nalan family is full of scholars, and we don't have many loyal warriors."
The wet nurse sighed. The once prosperous clan collapsed overnight.
She was anxiously waiting by the side, but her young lady was confused by the situation and was still immersed in the illusory love of Prince Yan.
She tried to dissuade the young lady many times, but was finally sent to the small kitchen by the young lady and could no longer serve her closely.
Over the years, she watched from afar her young lady transform from a wise girl into a woman who lived on the love of men. It would be a lie to say she didn't feel heartbroken.
As the two daughters of the Nalan family, her young lady and eldest daughter were naturally cultivated with all their efforts in the family.
The patriarch of the Nalan family was their father, who was also a literary giant and enjoyed a very high status among the scholars.
After the two young ladies came of age, there was an endless stream of people coming to propose marriage to the Nalan family, and the threshold of the house was almost trampled down.
Among them are many noble families and wealthy families.
Unfortunately, Prince Xian, who was still a prince at the time, was the first to ask for permission to marry the eldest daughter.
At that time, the Nalan family was prosperous and the patriarch was favored by the late emperor. They were fully qualified to refuse.
If the eldest lady had not received the news that the man sitting on the throne wanted her to be a concubine, she would not have met with Prince Xian at night and agreed to the marriage only after getting his promise.
The emperor, who was still the crown prince at the time, was fighting fiercely with Prince Li, and the Nalan family did not want to be involved in the dispute.
The clan leader did not want to get involved in the disputes among the princes, so he had no choice but to choose the unknown Prince Xian.
I chose Prince Xian, thinking that no one would notice that he was not favored by the late emperor.
Man proposes, God disposes. The emperor first granted him a fiefdom and made him a prince of leisure.
After the eldest daughter of the Nalan family married Prince Xian, she went to Yuzhou to be a fiefdom three months after her wedding.
Before they got married, Prince Yan had the best relationship with Prince Xian. Prince Yan often accompanied Prince Xian to the Nalan Mansion. On the surface, he was discussing academic matters with the Nalan clan leader, but in reality, Prince Xian was visiting the eldest lady.
In this way, Prince Yan became familiar with the second young lady.
The two secretly fell in love, and the clan leader only found out about it when Prince Yan asked to marry the second lady.
It was too late when they found out. The Nalan family had two princesses. Even if they didn't want to get involved in this dispute, they would become a thorn in the eyes of others.
As soon as the marriage decree from Prince Yan reached the Nalan family, the clan leader, who always knew how to handle affairs of state, quickly retired and returned home.
The patriarch's action caught King Yan off guard.
The second young lady was happily waiting to be married, but the clan leader looked worried.
The day before the two got married, the clan leader gave the second young lady some special instructions.
Unfortunately, the second young lady fell in love and did not listen to her old father's advice.
The Nalan family is a piece of fat meat, and all forces are eyeing them and trying to win them over for their own masters.
This time, the second lady of the Nalan family was married to Prince Yan, and the Nalan family withdrew from the center of power. Only then did these people let the Nalan family go.
The King of Yan was a man of deep thoughts and great ambitions. The clan leader had noticed this long ago and had never liked him.
The Nalan family would never place all their hopes on one prince, nor did they need to.
Among the famous literary figures, the Nalan family accounts for half of the total.
As long as those in power are sober, no one will cause trouble for the Nalan family.
This continued until the current emperor ascended the throne, and the Nalan family still enjoyed a high status among the literati.
Unfortunately, within two years after the Hua family case, letters of treason were discovered in the Nalan family’s mansion, and the aristocratic family fell into decline.
There were only a few men who were rescued by the disciples of the Nalan family at great risk of their lives.
Something happened to Princess Xian again, and the Nalan family completely disappeared from the Dazhuang Dynasty, and no one mentioned it.
"Miss, don't you doubt the origin of the letter?" The wet nurse reminded Princess Yan again.
"I really didn't think much about it before. I thought it was the enemies of the Nalan family who framed me. Now I don't think so anymore."
Princess Yan lowered her eyes, her eyes were red and she was already in tears.
"When I wrote a letter home, it was Jiang Ye who sent someone to deliver it. Who else could it be but him? Not everyone can enter my father's study, and he never keeps those secret letters. He only treasures the letters from me and my sister."
Princess Yan wiped away her tears and said through gritted teeth, "Since he already has a sweetheart, why did he come to provoke me, just for those scholars of my Nalan family?"
The nurse patted the Princess of Yan on the back and said, "Miss, calm down and don't let the King of Yan know. Things that belong to the two young masters cannot be given to the two brothers."
"I know. Now I am worried about Lan'er. Jiang Ye is reluctant to give up the food and doesn't want Lan'er to come back."
Having seen through Prince Yan's temperament, Princess Yan has become completely different from before.
"Don't be afraid, young lady. The food is with Master Zhu. When the time comes, we can persuade him to cooperate."
The idea suggested by the wet nurse stunned Princess Yan.
"We'll talk about it later! Why hasn't Lan'er sent back any news yet?"
Jiang Lan, whom Princess Yan had been talking about all the time, was very well behaved at this moment.
Jiang Lan had already sent the letter to Prince Yan's Mansion. He was in a good mood and his temper had improved a lot.
He still disliked Wei Li, and when he met Wei Li, he directly threatened him, "Wei Li, just stay here with your master and slowly starve to death."
Wei Li ignored him and turned away.
"Why are you so proud? You're just a dog." Jiang Lan cursed him behind his back and didn't bother him anymore.
Chang Bo saw this and chased after him, "Don't bother to get angry with him, the general still wants you to stay with him."
"I won't be angry with the idiot. I hope he can still be so arrogant when he returns to Yanzhou." Wei Li pulled up a smile with a playful look on his face.
"What did your cousin do?" Changbo saw his expression. He was already used to it. Bai Jingzhi had never suffered any loss.
"I can't tell you for now, you'll know when the time comes." Wei Li kept it a secret and ran to Zhou Yue'e to show his courtesy.
"We'll find out sooner or later. Bai Jingzhi tampered with the letter. Did he really think that others didn't notice?" Changbo muttered to himself and went to help organize things.
"Jingzhi, do you think the King of Yan will agree?" Wei Liu was unsure, so he came to Bai Jingzhi for confidence.
"Of course you can!" Bai Jingzhi said firmly.
She intercepted the message sent back by Jiang Lan halfway so as not to waste her efforts.
