Chapter 477 Mu Wanqing’s methods
In Prince Yu's Mansion, Mu Wanqing was wearing aqua blue dress and delicate makeup. She was sitting by the piano playing the strings.
As soon as Xiao Chenyan entered the courtyard, he heard this touching piano sound. Mu Wanqing often played it to him in the past, but after she married Queen Yu, he never heard it again.
She was reminding him of their agreement.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chenyan's eyes darkened, he stood at the door, took a deep breath, calmed down the irritability in his heart, and entered the house with a calm look.
When Mu Wanqing heard the footsteps, she raised her head and smiled sweetly. Her eyes seemed to be able to speak, and she looked at him affectionately.
The song ends.
Mu Wanqing stood up and knelt down to salute Xiao Chenyan, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
"There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be polite." Xiao Chenyan raised his hand to support him and said straight to the point: "The late empress's legitimate son is still alive. Is this serious?"
Can't wait that much? I didn't even bother to say a word of greeting.
Mu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Of course it's true. The Emperor has ordered the Jinyi Guards to look for him."
"Do you know the whereabouts of that child?" Xiao Chenyan had a fierce look in his eyes. He had worked hard to take the position of Crown Prince and would never allow anyone to threaten his position.
The snake hits seven inches.
Mu Wanqing knew that she had captured what Xiao Chenyan cared about most, so she smiled, twisted her slender waist and pulled Xiao Chenyan to sit down on the soft couch.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have people keeping an eye on you. You can't run away."
"Then he..." Xiao Chenyan wanted to continue asking, but Mu Wanqing held the handkerchief with her slender fingers and put it on his lips. She smiled sweetly and said: "Your Highness, don't talk about this now. I have been looking forward to this. It’s been a long time since I’ve been waiting for you to come, but I have a lot of things I want to say to you.”
Mu Wanqing sat down next to Xiao Chenyan and leaned into Xiao Chenyan's arms. Her voice was soft and soft, "Your Highness, how well did I play the piano just now, but can it still be heard by Your Highness?"
"Of course you play well." Xiao Chenyan didn't have the time to listen to the music at all, so he answered perfunctorily.
A dark light flashed in Mu Wanqing's eyes, her mind turned several times quickly, and she said aggrievedly: "His Highness has not come here for so long, but have you forgotten Wanqing?"
"The affairs of the imperial court have been busy recently, and my father is ill. I really have no time to spare." Xiao Chenyan raised his hand and stroked Mu Wanqing's head, explaining in kind words.
Mu Wanqing saw that his attitude had softened a lot, the corners of her mouth curved up, and she said with a smile, "I know that His Highness has me in his heart."
She half-lyed on Xiao Chenyan's body, wrapping her two slender arms around Xiao Chenyan's neck, "Your Highness, do you still remember the promise you made? I will marry Prince Yu to help you deliver the news. When Your Highness becomes the Crown Prince, he will make me the Crown Princess. The two of you will be together for a long time and share the country."
Crown Princess?
When Xiao Chenyan heard this title, Shen Ruzhou's beautiful and charming face flashed in his mind. The position of the head wife in his heart was reserved only for Shen Ruzhou, and no one else was worthy!
Seeing that Xiao Chenyan did not respond, Mu Wanqing's heart skipped a beat, and she realized that the man in front of her was no longer as obedient to her words as before.
After planning for so long, how could I make a wedding dress for her?
Mu Wanqing was unwilling to give in, and her grievances turned into two lines of crystal tears falling from the corners of her eyes, and her voice became choked with sobs, "In order to help His Highness, Wanqing dedicated herself to the king, and she has also tried her best to help His Highness these years. Now His Highness has become the crown prince. , won’t you start to dislike Wanqing?”
Mu Wanqing cried out loudly, which made Xiao Chenyan deeply moved. He knew clearly what she had done, and he also knew in his heart that he could not let her down.
A trace of guilt rose in Xiao Chenyan's eyes, and he said warmly: "Wanqing, I will remember everything you did for me, and I will treat you well in the future."
"Then I want to be the crown princess." Mu Wanqing insisted. Her pride would not allow her to be a concubine or a lowly servant.
Hearing this, Xiao Chenyan frowned slightly, "You are not worthy of being a Crown Princess."
Even though Prince Yu has been demoted, Mu Wanqing is still a married woman. How can she be a crown princess with such status?
In fact, Mu Wan had thought about this a long time ago. She leaned on Xiao Chenyan's shoulder and told her plan.
"If His Highness agrees to let me be the Crown Princess, I will find a way to make the civil and military officials of the court unable to say anything."
"It's just a matter of making up a new identity, it's not that difficult!"
But Xiao Chenyan is not willing. Now he only wants to give Shen Ruzhou the best. Naturally, his crown princess just wants to be left to Shen Ruzhou.
But now the late empress's legitimate son was directly threatening his status as crown prince. He could not refuse Mu Wanqing at this time and needed to stabilize her first.
"Wanqing, the emperor is seriously ill now and the current situation is unstable. It is better to wait for the wedding." Xiao Chenyan stretched out his long arms to wrap around Mu Wanqing's waist, then leaned into her ear and added, "I I know that Wanqing is the most sensible person and will not embarrass me."
"Okay, I will listen to your Highness." Mu Wanqing pretended to be virtuous and obedient, and nodded in agreement.
She stretched out her hand, rubbed her slender fingers back and forth on Xiao Chenyan's chest, then slowly moved to the collar, skillfully unbuttoning his shirt.
Xiao Chenyan suddenly felt excited, pushed Mu Wanqing away, and stood up.
"Your Highness, you don't want to get close to Wanqing?"
"I suddenly remembered that there is still an urgent court matter to deal with. I will come to see you another day." Xiao Chenyan left almost as if he was running away.
Mu Wanqing looked at his back as he left in a hurry, feeling indescribably disappointed in her heart.
The maid Qiu Ying stepped forward and asked in confusion: "Miss, why don't you tell His Royal Highness the whereabouts of the late Queen's legitimate son, so that he might agree to you as soon as he is happy."
Mu Wanqing's eyes flashed cunningly, and the corners of her lips curved into a sneer, "Qiu Ying, remember, if you want to hold a man's heart, you must have a bargaining chip in your hand, otherwise the man will just abandon you like a piece of grass."
In front of Prince Yu's Mansion, Jun Wu saw Xiao Chenyan coming out and hurriedly stepped forward to tie his cloak.
Xiao Chenyan raised his sword eyebrows at him and asked in a low voice: "How's the inquiring going?"
Jun Wu hurriedly reported back: "The emperor did meet with the commander of the Royal Forest Army, Zheng Jinming, before he fainted. Now he has led people in the capital to secretly search for the queen's legitimate son."
A wave of anger rushed to his forehead, Xiao Chenyan gritted his teeth and said: "Father is guarding me, okay! Very good!"
Seeing this, Jun Wu couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, does Princess Yu really know the whereabouts of the child? How can a woman know about this person who even the Royal Forest Army can't find?"
"Women have their own tricks." Xiao Chenyan sighed, turned around and glanced at the closed door of Prince Yu's Mansion, and added, "What's more, after so many years, the news that Mu Wanqing sent to us has never been missed."
