Yuchi Yan moved into the palace because he was once the last emperor of the Yan dynasty. The old capital had changed from the capital of the Yan dynasty to a large city in the south of Da Zhou. Naturally, the palace was left unused.
But even if the Imperial Palace had been left unused, who would be so bold as to live in the former Imperial Palace of an enemy country?
Yuchi Yan had nothing to fear. After all, he felt a sense of belonging when he returned to the old capital of the Dayan. He didn't do well as an emperor, but his pride as an emperor was no less than anyone else's. His loyal subjects also held him up high. Naturally, he felt at ease living in the old palace.
But Pang Xiao couldn't.
If he dared to live in the palace with Yuchi Yan today, Li Qitian would accuse him of disloyalty and punish him for violating the rules.
Moreover, Yuchi Yan and Gu Shixiong had been traveling for a long time. This time, they arrived at the old capital around the same time. This didn't mean that the Yuchi Yan couldn't order people to come to the old capital to set things up. The palace was the most heavily guarded place in the world. This could be seen from how he and Ji Zeyu's private soldiers were able to use the geographical advantage to resist the rebel army.
If he lived in the palace, it would give the enemy a chance to ambush him! What should he do if he was trapped in the palace?
Pang Xiao was skilled and bold. Naturally, he didn't care about these things. But he couldn't ignore the safety of Qin Yining and his two children.
"This King shouldn't refuse Zhennan Wang's good intentions." Pang Xiao was full of smiles. He looked as if he didn't care about the old grudges. There was a hint of regret in his eyes. "This King has been appointed as the Grand Marshal. Now that This King is here, he naturally has to live in the barracks. There are many things in the barracks that this King needs to deal with. If he lives in the palace, it wouldn't be appropriate. I hope Zhennan Wang can forgive him."
Was it really so?
Yuchi Yan smiled and in her heart, she praised Gu Shixiong's ability a little more. All of this was really not beyond her expectations.
Yuchi Yan followed Gu Shixiong's words and said, "Prince Zhongshun is right. However, the military camp was an important place. Wang Ye was naturally free to come and go, but women were not allowed to come and go as they pleased. Moreover, This King has heard that the real Prince Zhongshun's consort has just given birth to twins. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the women and children to be in the barracks. For the sake of your wife and children, Wang Ye asks that you consider This King's suggestion. Moreover, the palace has already made all the necessary preparations. We definitely won't let This King's consort and young master suffer. "
Pang Xiao smiled.
Yuchi Yan had really improved. He was so nervous just now, but now he could still recite what Gu Shixiong told him. It seemed that after many twists and turns, Yuchi Yan had still improved.
If only he could hide his complacency at the success of his scheme a little deeper.
Pang Xiao pretended not to notice and said with a smile, "Zhennan Wang is considerate. This King is naturally assured. However, this time, I can only disappoint Your Majesty's good intentions."
Qin Yining had been watching the exchange from the side. He had already analyzed the pros and cons in his heart. He said in a timely manner, "Wang Ye is right. My family is also here. If Wang Ye goes to the barracks, I also want to go home and live for a period of time."
Although Qin Yining had been attacked by bandits and many buildings had been burned to the ground, after Qin Yining went to Da Zhou, Master Zhong made the decision to buy the residence back and renovate it. At this time, the residence was of course under Qin Yining's name. Qin Huaiyuan, the Sun Clan, and the old matriarch didn't know about it.
Ever since Yuchi Yan heard Qin Yining speak, his eyes were fixed on her face.
Thinking of their past, Yuchi Yan's heart was filled with all sorts of feelings. At that time, he was still a high and mighty emperor. He could choose any of the beauties in the imperial harem.
But now? His country was destroyed and his family was destroyed. He became the ruler of a fallen country. His infamy was forever recorded in the annals of history. He even lost his empress and concubines for a treasure that he didn't get.
Qin Yining was an eternal pain and scar in his heart.
Especially now that she was still smiling like a flower, but she was speaking for someone else.
Her heart could no longer be thinking about him, nor could it be for his country.
Her heart was for someone else. She even gave birth to a child for the main culprit who destroyed the Dayan Dynasty, and it was a twin!
In a flash, Yuchi Yan had thought a lot. His love for Qin Yining didn't decrease, but his resentment towards her didn't decrease either.
Yuchi Yan naturally didn't understand Qin Yining's countless twists and turns. He didn't want to understand. Seeing that Yuchi Yan was in a daze and didn't speak, Qin Yining couldn't help but sigh softly.
Yuchi Yan still hadn't changed. He was still the same as before. It seemed like he would never learn how to behave in any situation.
Pang Xiao took half a step forward in displeasure and stood in front of Qin Yining.
This person didn't have any sense of propriety. He actually dared to stare at Qin Yining! Others could forget, but he couldn't. Back then, Qin Yining had almost become the empress of the Yuchi Yan!
Now, it seemed that Yuchi Yan still hadn't given up!
If it wasn't for the fact that Pang Xiao still had some sense and knew that now wasn't the time to shed all pretense of cordiality with Yuchi Yan, he would have already slapped him.
Yuchi Yan's line of sight was blocked by Pang Xiao's body. He coughed softly to hide his embarrassment. He didn't dare to continue looking at Qin Yining. His mind was a mess. He gathered all his strength to say, "What you said makes sense."
Behind Yuchi Yan, Gu Shixiong almost wanted to scold Yuchi Yan for his stupidity on the spot.
How could he let go of such a good opportunity so easily? If he missed this opportunity, it would be even more difficult to trick Pang Xiao and his group again.
Was he so mesmerized by a woman that he even forgot her name?!
"Wang Ye." Gu Shixiong took a big step forward and said in a slightly displeased tone, "Prince Zhongshun and Princess Consort came from afar. If we let them go back to the barracks like this, wouldn't people say that Wang Ye is neglecting visitors from afar? "
Yuchi Yan quickly nodded, "That's exactly what I meant."
It seemed that they treated the old capital as their own territory.
That's right. Didn't Your Majesty give Yuchi Yan a few of the rebellious prefectures as his fiefdoms? His sense of belonging wasn't without reason.
Pang Xiao sneered in his heart, but he still politely refused on the surface.
Gu Shixiong's face became serious, "Prince Zhongshun, could it be that you look down on our Zhennan Wang? Is that why you're refusing like this? We all serve the court and guard the south. Does Prince Zhongshun really want to be enemies with the Zhennan Wang? If Your Majesty knew about this, he would be unhappy. I'm afraid he won't be happy. "
Qin Yining narrowed his eyes. Old Master Gu wasn't someone who could do well in front of an incapable ruler of Dayan. Old Master Gu's ability to act shamelessly was top-notch.
However, this was a conversation between men, and Qin Yining wasn't in a position to interrupt. Otherwise, he would have to trick him again so that he wouldn't have the energy to delay Pang Xiao's work.
The two sides were in a deadlock, and the situation turned ugly.
