Chapter 65

Xu ChangAn hardly slept all night because of Xiao QingYan's unexpected confession the night before, and he woke up the next day only after Xiao QingYan had gotten up for quite a while. When Xu ChangAn woke up and did not see Xiao QingYan, he got up from the bed and dressed. He hesitated for a long time, before finally wore the piece of jade he had been secretly putting on his waist.

He found it embarrassing to explain directly to Xiao QingYan that he had seen him a long time ago, and to tell Xiao QingYan that he had always remembered him. He thought of just putting the jade ornament in a conspicuous place and let Xiao QingYan found out for himself.

This thing he had carried with him at that time, he should have like it, so he absolutely will remember. After once again taking care of putting his clothing in order, and felt that place was not too abrupt, Xu ChangAn got up and went out.

When Xu ChangAn pushed the door out, he heard Xiao QingYan's voice. After going out, he went directly to the table.

The servant had prepared breakfast, but Xiao QingYan did not sit down. Xu ChangAn guessed that Xiao QingYan was about to go in to wake him up, but he just happened to come out.

Good that you woke up. Let's quickly have breakfast; we'll go out in a moment.

Where are we going? As Xu ChangAn asked, he had already sat down. Since they arrived in Feng Province City, they had not gone out for a tour. They neither knew when The Heavens opened its eyes nor when the past few days rain was going to stop.

I've heard that in the east of the city, there is very famous temple. Let's go there today. Xiao QingYan did not want to stay in this place since he did not leave any face for old man Yang yesterday. It was always hard prevent other people from doing anything when the people lived under the same eaves. All right. Xu ChangAn really wanted to go out, no matter where it was. In short, he did not want to stay here all the time. Previously, it was just a guess, but when grandfather made clear of that yesterday, he really did not want to stay.

When the two left, they tacitly did not explain their intention. They only said they wanted to go out and stroll around. After they got into the carriage that Xiao QingYan had taken care in the early morning, Xu ChangAn kept secretly wondering.

Why had not Xiao QingYan reacted at all? Could it be it was not obvious what he did? Nah! He usually did not wear any ornaments on his body, but now there was such too eye-catching thing that it was impossible not to find it ah.

After Xu ChangAn became aware of his own nervousness, he repeatedly wondered why he was so nervous. After thinking about it, he felt that maybe he cared so much, not only because he wanted Xiao QingYan to recall that they had once had such an intersection, but also because he was more of a choice. In fact, he already had a clear answer in his mind. [T/N: choice here probably meant when the Emperor pick him as XQY's marriage partner]

He wanted to get rid of all his old worries and be together with Xiao QingYan properly.

Hmm, Wangfei's waist wears a thing today, how familiar ah. Xiao QingYan was not surprised to suddenly see the thing he had gave out a few years ago, but he did not show it because he soon understood.

The jade ornament was the thing he had gave out three years ago in the outskirts of the Capital, where his Wangfei happened to have stayed for three years.

Your Highness may have looked at it. It was given to me by a kind-hearted person three years ago. Although I have been living well, but I have never worn it once, so I'm sure that Wangye has never seen it. Xu ChangAn's intuition told him that Xiao QingYan must have recognized it. Xiao QingYan said like that must be just to tease him. In that case, he should cooperate with him and tease him good too.

Somehow, all of a sudden, the little bit of nervousness had disappeared. After Xu ChangAn finished speaking, he reached out to pick the thing on his waist and said in a yearning tone, I was not feeling well at that time, but I did not have money on me to go to the physician, so I had to go out and dig up some herbs. That kind-hearted person gave me this thing was to let me used it to buy medicine. But I found a lot of herbs that just right for my cause of disease. A few days later, I got much better. This thing, I've keep it for a long time.

Now that you remember all the circumstances at that time, you should remember that kind-hearted person as well? This thing did not appear early or late, but it just happened he was wearing it at this time. Xiao QingYan should have thought it was his Wangfei that deliberately wearing it for him. But what was that tone of his voice? Why did it look like he did not remember him? No way!

I remember!

ChangAn said so simply, but he did not look at him. Did ChangAn remember the wrong person?

Ha Looking at Xiao QingYan's depressed look, Xu ChangAn was satisfied. After lightly laughed, he simply said, This person is sitting next to me now. Good! So bold that even dared to play this Wang? After the reaction, Xiao QingYan was really depressed. He could not imagine how he had just been so dumb!

Hha, ChangAn dares not; besides, I didn't say any word just now.

Looking at Xu ChangAn's happy smile, Xiao QingYan did not care about that little depression just now, but also laughed with him.

After arriving at the temple mentioned by Xiao QingYan, they went to the main hall of the temple first to light up the incense in all sincerity, and then went to a small courtyard was properly arranged by the Wu brothers.

Wangye, this subordinate, us two brothers live next door. You and Wangfei can give orders at any time.

I see. Pay more attention to the news in the Capital. You can retreat.

Yes, Wangye.

Although Xu ChangAn was puzzled by Xiao QingYan's unexpected confession, nevertheless, he took the things he had always cared about a little lighter, and his frame of mind became entirely free from worry a lot.

But, The Heavens' mood nevertheless had not changed much.

Originally, he wanted to set out with Xiao QingYan immediately, but this weather was not good weather to go out. With the Emperor's decree, Xu ChangAn could feel Xiao QingYan's face was getting heavier and heavier day by day. Although Xiao QingYan's face looked a little better because of what happened just now, when he arrived at this place, his face sank again; probably thinking about his Imperial Father's health and worrying about the constant rain.

Don't worry, Your Highness. As you said, Imperial Father's health must be all right. As for the rain This rain was what they should think about so to find a way to cope with it. Xu ChangAn could not say anything because it would be only an empty word of comfort. What he was more worried about now was the continuous rain. He did not know if there would be any epidemic situation in this heavy drought and flood day.

Let's talk about it later. Tell you something else first. In the days to come, we will have to live here all the time. I don't want to live in the Yang Residence. I don't like those people. Plus, it's really inconvenient for any news that the Wu brothers have on every day, they have to sneak in at midnight to tell me.

Unexpectedly, Xiao QingYan thought the same as he was. Of course Xu ChangAn was certainly happy, but when he thought of the purpose of his trip, he became worried again.

You say; what would they do about my mother's matter at that time, when we walked away like this without any face left for them? Although the matter did not take much effort, but exactly because of this that Xu ChangAn still felt very empty up until now. He did not know whether his grandfather would go back on his word.

You don't have to worry about that. They don't have the guts. This matter, Xiao QingYan also found it quite difficult. Yang Shi and Xu Yongnian were wife and husband. They were supposed to be buried in Xu Family's ancestral tomb after death, but this was obviously impossible. Not to mention that perhaps Yang Shi's departed soul in the Heaven was also unwilling, but his Wangfei would certainly oppose it.

Could not be buried in the husband's ancestral tomb, the only choice was the mother's home. He could arrange anything for ChangAn, but this thing was really only one way to do it. If Yang Shi wanted peace after death, she could only be buried in the outer tomb of Yang Family.

Unconsciously, it had entered the middle of March, and the heavy rain had slowly become lighter, but it had not stopped all together. For most of this month, Xiao QingYan had not received the news from the Capital. Just when he could not help wanting to return to the Capital immediately despite the Emperor's decree, great good news came from the Capital. Your Highness, what's wrong? Is there any good news? Looking at Xiao QingYan laughing till he could not even close his mouth, Xu ChangAn could not help but be filled with excitement. There must be some good news. Was Imperial Father's health being much better?

Imperial Father is well. And Many people in the Capital are going to be unlucky.

Ah?

Imperial Father's health was unwell before because he suffered from the Gu. But now everything is all right, and some people are going to have bad luck!

Turned out, the Emperor was unwell a few days ago and his body did a lot of abnormal actions because someone used Gu on him! Finally, he recovered safely because Princess QingYue found something wrong with the Emperor. She invited people who were specialized in studying Southern Xinjiang to enter the Palace to examine the Emperor's body.

After the result came out, the Emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the Southern Xinjiang's people in the official residence of the Cabinet Ministers of the Imperial Court. Even the ordinary maidservants had to be kept in custody temporarily until it was sure that they were innocent.

Another point was that, if there were Southern Xinjiang people among the wives and concubines of the Cabinet Ministers, their whole family should thoroughly investigate!

Humph! Xiao Qingnian's favorite concubine is a woman from Southern Xinjiang, which is known to all in the Capital City. I'll see what he would do this time!

Good news, indeed. This was really good news for them. But Xu ChangAn was somewhat uneasy for some reason. He used to think it was strange, but now this kind of thinking was even more serious.

Xiao QingYan was the eldest son that the Emperor valued highly. Even if he had to abandon him because of the present situation and married him a male wife, but the status of this male wife should not be this low ah!

Unless Unless the Emperor had planned, that the Wangfei he chose for his eldest son was only a cover, a cover that temporarily confused the public
