Chapter 350 Brother Achen Is Polite
The expressions of Prince Wei and his wife became frighteningly gloomy for a moment.
"Xie Jin, are you going to rebel?" Xuanyuan Yan asked coldly, with a cold poisonous needle hidden in his voice, "The Palace of Wei will not allow you to be presumptuous!"
The corners of Xie Jin's lips curled up, and his charming red phoenix eyes raised slightly: "Is Prince Yan going to challenge Princess Feng?"
The three words "Princess Feng" were like a needle piercing into his heart, making Xuanyuan Yan's eyes suddenly become cold and sharp. He stared at Xie Jin's peach-like handsome face for a moment and said coldly: " Even if she is Princess Feng, she has no right to act recklessly in my palace, Prince Wei."
The curve of Xie Jin's lips deepened: "If Prince Yan is dissatisfied, you can go to the palace to protest to Princess Feng. It's useless to tell me. I can't be Princess Feng's master."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the imperial doctor coming out of the room and whispering in his ear: "The concubine has been poisoned by a chronic poison. It is not fatal, but it can make people physically weak and unable to take care of themselves."
After Xie Jin heard this, he was not surprised at all. He just said calmly: "How long?"
"More than ten years."
More than ten years?
Xie Jin glanced at Xuanyuan Chen, who had a gentle expression. The seventeen-year-old boy stood there quietly. His handsome face was blank. He had no special expression after hearing the words of the imperial doctor. He seemed to have already known this. result.
Xie Jin frowned and understood as soon as he thought about it.
So what if you know?
Xuanyuan Yan was once the grandson of the emperor Jin Gui. He had a distinguished status and was the only legitimate son of the Prince of Wei. Whether in this palace or in the entire imperial capital, he was an existence that could definitely control the life and death of their mother and son.
As for the little concubine in the Wei Palace, his mother's life was completely in the hands of Xuanyuan Yan and Wei Princess. Even if he knew that his mother was poisoned, there was nothing he could do.
Princess Wei and her son were willing to give her the decoction to survive, so he could only watch his mother quietly and obediently rely on the decoction to survive every day. If there was the slightest resistance, mother and son might be separated in the next moment.
Xie Jin clicked his tongue and suddenly felt like the Guanyin, who was sent to rescue the poor child from the sea of suffering.
"Why are you still standing there?" He glanced at the motionless young man casually and said in a calm voice, "Pack your things and follow me. The air in Prince Wei's Mansion is really not fresh. Master Jiu doesn't like to stay here."
Xuanyuan Chen raised his eyes and glanced at him, then turned to look at the inner room. After a moment of silence, he nodded slowly, turned around and walked into the inner room to say a few words to his mother.
He knew that the right decision was to listen to Xie Jin at this time. The other party was following the orders of the Regent and Princess Feng, and had already arranged his mother's affairs properly, which relieved his worries.
Although he is still a little worried, Xuanyuan Chen knows better than anyone else that even if he doesn't listen to Xie Jin today, Princess Wei and Xuanyuan Yan and their son will definitely not make it easy for him. Maybe they will just stop his mother's medicine in a fit of anger. Not possible.
This seventeen-year-old boy has long experienced the sufferings of the world, and has long understood that he has no control over his fate. He is also aware of his humble identity. He has learned to compromise and tolerate, and has become accustomed to bowing to power. In order to allow himself and his mother to live a better life. He has to be a little more stable, even if his pride is crushed into dust, he can do it.
But even though he was as submissive and submissive as possible, he still couldn't stop the violence and torture imposed on himself.
To him, Prince Wei's Mansion was purgatory, a cage from which he could not escape for more than ten years.
He thought that he would be trapped here for the rest of his life, until his mother couldn't bear it anymore, until he was forced to a desperate situation, maybe they could both be freed.
Unexpectedly...
Looking at his frail and pale mother leaning against the bed, a light and gentle smile appeared on the corner of Xuanyuan Chen's lips: "Mom, the regent asked me to serve beside him, so I don't have to be trapped here in the future."
Concubine Qiao is a beautiful woman.
Even though she had been tortured by illness over the years, her facial features still showed a bit of the elegance of her youth. When she heard A Chen's words, she said softly: "Don't come back if you can leave. This is not a good place. ”
"Mom is still here, how can I not come back?" Xuanyuan Chen held her hand and looked at her pale and thin palm with lowered eyebrows, "My son has studied hard these years and finally put it to use. I will work hard in the future." Work hard to win the trust and importance of Her Royal Highness Princess Feng and the Regent as soon as possible. If you are lucky, you may be able to get an official position and then you can have your own mansion. It doesn't matter if it is smaller, at least there is a chance. Take your mother out and live there.”
Concubine Qiao looked at his gentle and handsome face, thinking that he was only seventeen years old, but he had already suffered all the hardships that others would never endure in his life. Her heart couldn't help but feel sore and dull. She wanted to say something but felt that many words had been lost. No need to say more.
After all these years, mother and son finally have some hope. They should be happy.
"The maid arranged by Mr. Xie will be here to take care of my mother these two days, as well as the experts who protect my mother. My mother will eat well and take her medicine." Xuanyuan Chen whispered, "Leave everything else to me."
Concubine Qiao smiled weakly and nodded: "Yes."
Xuanyuan Chen did not dare to keep Xie Jin waiting for a long time, so he gave some careful instructions, quickly went to pack some clothes and some books that he usually read, turned around and walked out, and said to the two new maids in the room: "Thank you very much. I’m taking care of my mother here. I’m short of money now. When I have money in the future——”
Before he finished speaking, the two maids burst into laughter.
Xuanyuan Chen fell silent.
The two maids were both sixteen or seventeen years old. They probably realized that Xuanyuan Chen had misunderstood their smile, so they hurriedly said: "The money my father gave us is enough for us, Master Chen, don't worry."
Xuanyuan Chen nodded: "Thank you."
"Brother Ah Chen, you are very polite." Xie Jin raised his lips and smiled, "Master Jiu likes it."
Xuanyuan Chen glanced at him and walked out without saying a word, carrying the baggage. The ninth master of the Xie family had a volatile temper, deep thoughts, and elusiveness. He did not dare to compete with him on his verbal skills.
"Xuanyuan Chen." Xuanyuan Yan stared at him with cold eyes, "Are you going to betray your family?"
Xuanyuan Chen walked outside the door and bowed slightly to Prince Wei and his wife: "This is the order of the Prince Regent and Princess Feng. I dare not disobey it."
King Wei said coldly: "If you dare to step out of this mansion today, you will no longer be my son. I will tell the world to expel you from my family and remove your name from the clan. You'd better think of something for me." clear!"
"Tsk, even intimidation has been used." Xie Jin shook his head, walked slowly behind Xuanyuan Chen, put his hand on his shoulder, "Brother Achen, don't be afraid, he won't dare if I am here."
