The elder brother fell into the trap as a husband - 63

page views:1 Publication date:2023-05-05

The heavy rain fell intermittently for almost half a month, shrouding the entire city of Ye in gloom, and the early autumn air suddenly turned cold...
In just over ten days, the Yan and Wang families were locked in a fierce struggle, and the court and the public were divided into three factions: one led by Wang Yong, another naturally led by Yan Jing, and the neutral faction that supported the royal family formed its own.
Just when the two factions were irreconcilably at odds, Empress Dowager Chu in the palace suddenly fell ill and showed signs of being critically ill.
"How could she suddenly fall ill? I thought the Empress Dowager was quite..." Empress Dowager Chu was not yet forty years old this year and was still considered young. Yan Luan really couldn't understand why she would be critically ill.
The Imperial Medical Academy was completely helpless. If they were faking it, they had even started posting imperial edicts outside the capital city to find a miracle doctor.
Yan Tao flipped through the military book that Yan Jing had thrown to him. The numerous strategies on it made him dizzy. To be honest, he considered himself capable as a military general, but he was really not suited for this kind of strategic thinking.
"Illness? If it weren't for my elder brother arranging for people in the palace, she would probably be dead by now."
Yan Luan was playing with the koi in the glass jar when her pale ankles, which had been swaying under the chaise longue, paused slightly. She turned around in disbelief, threw herself into Yan Tao's arms, and asked curiously, "What happened?"
"We raised an ungrateful wretch. That bitch from the Chu family poisoned her. If my elder brother hadn't said it would still be effective, she would have died from the poison long ago."
Ungrateful wretch? There aren't many women that Yan Tao would call a slut. He was clearly referring to Chu Yunshang. Last time at the Liang Prince's mansion, he had murderous intent towards Chu Yunshang and still held a grudge.
"She actually did it?"
Jiang Fuyuan had said that sooner or later, Empress Dowager Chu would raise an ungrateful child, and unexpectedly, it came true so quickly. With this move, Chu Yunshang has probably decided to side with Wang Anzhi, and she is even willing to sever ties with the Chu family in order to ensure Wang Anzhi's rise to power.
Throwing aside the military treatise in his hand, Yan Tao embraced Yan Luan, who was nestled in his arms, and gently stroked her dark, bluish hair. His cold and stern face softened slightly as he said, "You're not allowed to run around these next few days. Your elder brother plotted to kill Wang Yong's younger brother. He's a mad dog; he's capable of anything."
The Wang family has no bottom line when it comes to doing things, and they might try to harm Yan Luan. That's why Yan Jing has kept Yan Tao in the mansion to protect him these days.
"Um."
...
In early November, Empress Dowager Chu passed away at Changle Palace at the age of thirty-five. She was posthumously honored as Empress Dowager Wuying Zhaolie, and the entire country observed three days of national mourning.
Yan Luan, dressed in mourning clothes, sat with Jiang Fuyuan in the main hall of Qifeng Palace. He frowned as he watched her play with the phoenix seal in her hand: "Be careful in the palace from now on, especially regarding your diet."
"I know, what happened last time was a wake-up call for me. Sigh... this imperial palace really isn't a place for humans to stay."
After the incident of being secretly harmed and miscarried, Jiang Fuyuan was extra careful every day. She even personally oversaw the imperial meals for Emperor Qiling. The death of Empress Dowager Chu due to poisoning made her even more vigilant.
But living like this for too long is incredibly stifling.
After the national mourning period, rumors began to circulate in Ye City that Empress Dowager Chu's death was suspicious. Some people even wrote a book about it, making it into two parts, and spread it in several restaurants and teahouses. The implication was that someone had murdered the Empress Dowager, and the arrow pointed directly at the Wang family.
In the past few days, the residence of the Marquis of Huaiyin has been frequented by many retainers, officials, and party members. On several occasions, when Yan Luan went to see Yan Jing, she would find them discussing matters, and occasionally she would stand quietly outside the door to listen to some of their conversations.
"Now that the time is ripe, Your Excellency should bring up the matter of His Majesty's personal rule. Once the power of that old scoundrel Wang Yong is weakened, we will have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation," the retainer said confidently.
"I received a message the other day that there have been changes in the military situation in Weicheng. That is the closest garrison to Yecheng under Wang Yong's control. Your Excellency should make preparations as soon as possible in case he raises an army," a minister from one faction advised.
Then came the sound of Yan Jing giving orders. His deep voice was strategic and decisive. Yan Luan couldn't help but listen for a while. She was particularly fascinated by Yan Jing. His domineering aura in controlling the country was something that ordinary people could not possess.
...
During dinner, the three of them sat together in the dining hall. Yan Luan specially cooked a chicken soup with lingzhi mushrooms, serving a bowl each to Yan Jing and Yan Tao. Watching her busy little movements, a smile crossed Yan Jing's gentle face. He put his arm around her slender waist and pulled her into his embrace.
"Our Ah Luan has finally learned to care about others."
Meanwhile, Yan Tao, who was standing next to him, had already finished his bowl and was smacking his lips, saying, "I must say, this tastes really good."
It was rare for Yan Luan to cook, and even though she made arsenic poison, the two of them probably had to drink it all. But unexpectedly, it tasted surprisingly delicious. Yan Jing checked her hands and, finding them unharmed, let Yan Luan feed him a bowl.
"Once Ye City is pacified, let's go to Miyang and stay for a while." Knowing that Yan Luan liked the main residence in Miyang, Yan Jing proposed this plan.
Yan Luan's eyes immediately lit up, and she raised her beautiful face to leave a kiss on Yan Jing's lips. This initiative naturally made Yan Jing deepen the kiss.
...
Before she knew it, winter had arrived. She had shed her autumn clothes and put on a winter skirt with black fox fur trim. Yan Luan, who was afraid of the cold, didn't like to go out. Today, Yan Jing and Yan Tao were not in the mansion, so she spent the afternoon leaning against Fanghua Pavilion, learning embroidery.
"Princess, it is Eunuch Li from the Empress's palace who requests that you come to the palace."
"Is that so? Let him in."
Soon, a maid led the people in. The eunuch, bowing respectfully, greeted them. Yan Luan glanced at him and recognized him as the head eunuch in Jiang Fuyuan's palace. She then ordered someone to prepare a carriage.
"Did the Empress say what it was about?"
Eunuch Li smiled obsequiously: "This servant doesn't know. Her Majesty the Empress only said she wanted you to come to the palace, which seems to be related to His Majesty."
Your Majesty? Could something have happened? Yan Luan didn't dare to delay. She changed her clothes and left the mansion, remembering Yan Jing and Yan Tao's instructions, and specially brought more guards with her.
But in the end, something still happened.
When the convoy reached Xuanwu Street, it was surrounded by a group of men in black. A quick battle ensued in a secluded alley. By the time Yan Luan lifted the carriage curtain, more than half of the Marquis's guards had been killed or wounded. The well-trained assassins were clearly targeting her.
"Oh no, we've fallen for their trap!" Seeing the eunuch who claimed to be from Jiang Fuyuan's palace also draw his sword and slash at the guards beside him, Yan Luan knew she had been tricked.
Amidst the clash of swords, the stench of blood filled the air. Yan Luan hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and fled towards the alley entrance with the guards, but they were still surrounded. Outnumbered, she watched as those around her fell one after another, but she calmed down instead.
"Stop! I'll go with you!" These men were all deadly, but when they faced her, they seemed to be trying to capture her alive.
The leader of the men in black narrowed his eyes, his black mask stained with dark blood, and sneered, "It's rare that the princess is so sensible. Then come with us."
No one noticed how trembling Yan Luan's hands were hidden in her sleeves behind her back. Only after she crushed the small object in her hand did her clenched nerves relax a little. Soon her hands and feet were bound, and even her eyes were blindfolded. After being thrown onto the carriage, she could only pray that Yan Jing and Yan Tao would arrive quickly.
In the dead silence, only the soft creaking of the carriage shaft could be heard. After about half an hour, the carriage finally stopped, and she was taken off.
