Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 163

Chapter 163 Astonished to Hear of an Unexpected Turn of Events
Actually, along the way, Qin Mubai would occasionally think of someone-Chen Yan.

“In the end, she didn’t come looking for me again.”

Qin Mubai did not have too many unreasonable thoughts about Chen Yan. She was a woman with a unique charm. She was determined to do what she said, tenacious and loyal, and she acted in a principled manner. She didn’t hesitate to give up her life for a promise, but the things she decided were extremely difficult to change.

In her body, Qin Mubai saw the traditional Chinese chivalrous spirit that only appeared in novels.

It’s so pure and real.

This woman’s appearance was cold and beautiful like snow, but her heart was surging like fire. She was like an azure sharp sword out of a box. Her cold aura was oppressive, but she was unyielding. If she became her enemy, it would definitely be a very unfortunate thing. If she became her friend, she would definitely become a rare confidante, worthy of dependence and trust.

Qin Mubai thought to herself that if she couldn’t do it for her friend, Chen Yan would definitely be able to!

Most of the time, Chen Yan’s gender had faded from Qin Mubai’s impression. Anyone like her would be willing to make friends with her. However, Chen Yan was extremely cautious in choosing her friends. If it weren’t for this Zhu Chengwen incident, Qin Mubai would never have had any interactions with her.

However, everyone had their own aspirations. Despite Qin Mubai’s full invitation, Chen Yan still did not come.

In Qin Mubai’s heart, there was a faint regret. But forcefully twisted melon is not sweet, Chen Yan is not willing to stay in his foster father Jiang Xia wang’s mansion to enjoy the good fortune still wandering in Jianghu, so how can he change his life and life in Chang’an because of a verbal invitation?

Thinking of this, Qin Mubai smiled relieved, “As long as you live well on your own, I hope that there will be a day of goodbye!”

After parting ways with Wu Meiniang, Qin Mubai led the Baiji soldiers back to the Imperial City.

When Qin Mubai returned from afar, many officials in the Imperial City saw him. There were spectators and thieves.

Qin Mubai was somewhat surprised, “What’s so good about it? Didn’t I just leave the Imperial City for half a year? Could it be that I didn’t recognize me?” Could it be that something has happened in the Imperial Court or the palace recently, and it has something to do with me?

With this doubt in mind, Qin Mubai decided to return to the military camp first. First, he would settle down the soldiers first, and secondly, he would find Pang Fei and ask him why. If there was any situation, he would be better prepared.

Returning to the Hundred Cavalry Camp and his brothers returning from afar, they were naturally welcomed by a crowd of people. Li Junxian, who was temporarily in charge of Qin Mubai’s Hundred Cavalry, and two deputy envoys, Cheng Huaibi and Yuchi Baoyun, came to welcome him.

After chatting leisurely with his colleagues in the yamen for a while, everyone returned to deal with their own military affairs. Qin Mubai returned to his room to rest for a while and sent for Pang Fei.

Pang Fei was working in the harem, and it took him a long time to arrive. After entering Qin Mubai’s room, he excitedly stepped forward to pay his respects, “Disciple pays respects to Master! Master has finally returned!”

“Well, let’s talk about it later. Tell me, have any strange things happened in the palace recently, especially those related to me?” Qin Mubai asked.

“Uh … Master, you really don’t know? Such a big thing …” Pang Fei was surprised.

“Nonsense, if I knew, would I still ask you?”

Pang Fei’s expression turned ugly, as if he was a little scared, and he didn’t dare to say anything. “Yes, then I’ll say it. It’ll take a long time to say it …”

“Then you should pick up the most important things from the beginning to the end. It’s best to summarize them clearly. I don’t have time. I have to rush into the palace to deliver the imperial edict.”

Pang Fei gritted his teeth and said in one breath, “After Princess Gaoyang escaped back to the palace, she publicly declared that she would not marry Fang Yiai and would marry you! Now that the Emperor has sent her into the cold palace, no one is allowed to see her!”

“What?!” Even though Qin Mubai was mentally prepared, she couldn’t help but jump up and sit up in shock. “She’s crazy!”

“Most of them are going crazy.” Pang Fei’s eyes were dull as he nodded blankly, “He’s really going crazy …”

“What?” Qin Mubai was stunned. “Are you really crazy? The kind of crazy that gets sick?”

“That’s right … In the cold palace, Princess Gaoyang is crazy all day long. It’s too pitiful.” Pang Fei revealed a worried expression and let out a long sigh. “The Emperor is too ruthless. He loved her so much before, so …”

‘”This is really troublesome” Qin Mubai murmured to himself, “I really agree with Chen Yan’s words. Princess Gaoyang is really capable of causing trouble, and sooner or later she will bring disaster to me. Fortunately, I caused trouble and she went crazy … This is really the greatest crisis I have encountered since I came to the Great Tang!”

“Master, what do you plan to do? Everyone knows that Princess Gaoyang has an affair with you, so they would rather die than marry into the Fang Clan. The Emperor is furious and almost wants to bestow death on Princess Gaoyang … What do you think the Emperor will do to you?” Pang Fei said worriedly.

“I don’t know either.” Qin Mubai knitted his brows and fell into deep thought. He waved his hand and said, “You go out first, let me think twice.”

“Alright” Pang Fei cupped his hands and hesitantly retreated to the door. Half of his hand had just been bolted by the door and was back.

“Let you go, why are you back?” Qin Mubai asked, puzzled.

“Master!” Pang Fei suddenly clasped his fists and bowed solemnly, “If there is really a big problem this time, this disciple is willing to retreat with you at the same time!”

“Say something stupid, everything will be fine!” Qin Mubai scolded again, then patted him on the shoulder and smiled. “I’m very grateful that you have such a heart. But don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Also, you did a good job with the things I told you last time. Thank you very much.”

“Master, why are you thanking me?” Pang Fei stared at Qin Mubai and said seriously, “As long as Master says a word, why would I cherish my death?”

“Alright, I understand.” Qin Mubai smiled happily. “Go out and let me be quiet for a while and think.”

“Yes, disciple, please leave.” Only then did Pang Fei leave at ease.

Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Pang Fei is quite considerate and loyal. He is a good man.”

There was only one person left in the quiet room. Qin Mubai poured the tea, lit a pot of incense, picked up a pipa, and slowly played.

If the heart is in chaos, Qu Bi San.

Qin Mubai wanted to know just how chaotic his heart was and whether he could calm it down. If you can’t calm down and think, you will always be helpless in the face of difficulties and problems.

Regardless of whether it was his previous life or his current life, Qin Mubai always had this kind of habit when his heart was in chaos. A light note was like a tranquilizer that could calm his chaotic mood and calm his irritable emotions.

Half an hour later, Qin Mubai put down his pipa and smiled.

“It’s alright, I’ll definitely be fine!”

This was not a consolation. Qin Mubai had enough reason to believe that the Emperor would not punish him for this!

In this world, who could control their feelings? Not to mention Princess Gaoyang, who was just starting to fall in love at a young age!

I, Qin Mubai, was “liked” by Princess Gaoyang. It was also my fault? !

Who told me to go to the harem to take care of Li Zhi and Li Mingda, so that I was “harassed” by Princess Gaoyang every day? Who told me to teach Princess Gaoyang how to play the zither? Who is it that knows that Princess Gaoyang and I are getting closer and closer, but turns a blind eye to her and suddenly uses a cold move to marry Princess Gaoyang to Fang Yiai?

It was the Emperor.

From the beginning, Li Shimin was a little careless. To him, ruling a country was like cooking a delicacy, but at a time like this, he was too careless. He ignored the fact that Princess Gaoyang was also a living person with her own emotions. She had her own thoughts and personality. Li Shimin thought more about the overall situation and national affairs. In his opinion, family and personal feelings could be sacrificed.

It was precisely because of this kind of thought that the current situation was brought about.

From beginning to end, what did I, Qin Mubai, do? Have I ever seduced Princess Gaoyang? What happened between me and her? I even acted as if I couldn’t avoid it.

If the emperor still wants to punish me like this, then he is a complete unconscious monarch. Not enough to convince the crowd and make the people of the world laugh, not to mention that our Qin Clan is at least the famous founding sect!

Of course, this was reasonable. However, even if Li Shimin was unable to convict me because of this, he probably still had some prejudices against me in his heart. At the very least, he won’t let me stay in the palace as a servant anymore. He will change my job and keep me away from Princess Gaoyang.

Change it. Anyway, I’m a little tired of the job of the Hundred Cavalry Envoy. Although it was on the surface, it was really a big responsibility and a lot of trouble. If you did well, you should. If you did poorly, you would lose your head. Just like Princess Gao Yang had scolded back then, Hundred Cavalry was also the Royal Guardian Dog.

Huo Lei Feng was unwilling to take on such a task!

As long as I leave the palace and stay away from Princess Baiji, the Emperor naturally has no reason to hate me anymore. After all, I have always been faithful to my duty and have never broken my precepts and crossed half a step into the lightning pool. Moreover, Li Shimin would definitely not be overbearing and foolish to deal with anyone his daughter liked.

Qin Mubai sighed after thinking about this. “Ai …” “Bitterness is bitter for Gaoyang. Is he really crazy?” What a cute and persistent little girl. I seem to have been touched by her and moved by her … When the limelight passes, I will see her no matter what. After all, she was infatuated with me and had paid too much for me, but I had never given her anything, not even a promise or an attitude. She was just blindly and foolishly fond of me, so far at all costs. Back then, when she left, she had said well that she would submit to the emperor and show her softness, expressing her willingness to marry into the Fang Clan. Why is it like this again? She doesn’t seem to be such a fool. There must be something fishy about this … ”

Thinking left and right, Qin Mubai could not understand. According to his previous designs with Li Ke and Gaoyang at Jishan, there shouldn’t be any major problems. After it was revealed that Fang Yiai had insulted Princess Gaoyang’s maidservant and caused her to die, how could the Fang Clan dare to continue accepting this royal marriage? As long as Princess Gaoyang took a step back to ease her relationship with the Emperor and prevent the situation from deteriorating, the engagement would be dissolved sooner or later. The chances of victory will be in Princess Gaoyang’s hands.

What exactly happened in the middle?

Li Ke must have known about this matter. He should clarify all these things in the future. Now, he should go see the Emperor first!

Taking a deep breath, Qin Mubai adjusted his luggage and headed towards the palace.
