How could Jia Fu not know what Xiao Yan was thinking?
"Alright, Your Highness, I am too old to care about your affairs. I believe that Your Highness can handle these matters clearly."
"As long as Ling Yao is happy, I won't ask about these things. But if one day you betray her, I, as a father, will naturally come to you to talk about it."
The old emperor said quickly: "Okay, old friend, if the prince does something out of line, I, as a father, will certainly not sit idly by."
Xiao Yan was also quite helpless, but this was the situation at the moment and he had nothing to say.
"You guys go down first. We two old friends haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's chat."
Xiao Yan and the others looked at each other and said, "I'll take my leave!"
After they left, Jia Fucai turned to the old emperor and said, "Your Majesty, why do you have to do this? Is it really worth it for the prince?"
The old emperor sighed and said, "Alas, Hong Wan passed away after giving birth to the prince. He has been without a mother since childhood. I have been both his father and mother and raised him."
"Later, due to the busy state affairs, his education was neglected. I'm sure you have heard about what he became."
"If I don't train her well, I don't know how to face Hong Wan a hundred years later."
Jiang Hongwan was Xiao Yan's mother. When they were young, she was good friends with everyone including Jia Fu.
"Alas, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this matter. After all, it is not your fault."
"Isn't the prince doing well now? The queen will naturally not blame you."
The old emperor nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this.
"You are right. I am very pleased to see the prince like this now. Even a hundred years later, I can still face Hong Wan with a smile!"
"It has been twenty years since Hong Wan and I parted ways, and I still cannot let it go."
"Although the court is in chaos now, this will further train him. With you and I behind the scenes, he will definitely grow into a qualified crown prince."
In fact, what the old emperor didn’t know was that if Xiao Yan hadn’t come from another world, he would still be a playboy.
"Yes, with the two of us behind them, there is nothing to be afraid of!"
"In fact, if you follow my advice, I will lead the army to directly destroy Hu Zhenghe's lair. How can I let that old villain do whatever he wants in this court?"
This is Jia Fu's temper. He can't sit still as long as something is detrimental to the royal family.
This is also why the old emperor arranged for him to go to Yanzhou.
"You are still the same."
"Hu Zhenghe is not as simple as you think. Although it seems that we can just destroy him, as far as I know, there are other forces behind him."
"But no matter how hard I try, I can't find any trace. I'm not worried about Hu Zhenghe, but I'm worried about the forces behind him."
"So when the prince asked me for military power, I gave it to you. I feel relieved when you are here."
Jia Fu nodded when he heard this, but he also had other thoughts.
"Then your Majesty, aren't you afraid that Your Highness will refuse to let go after knowing the taste of power?"
"Or did they want to replace you long ago?"
The old emperor shook his head. He was very sure about such things.
"I have no doubt about this. None of my dozen princes have come to visit me since I woke up."
"Although the prince has been busy with government affairs, he often comes to visit me and even brought Youyue to save my life at a critical moment."
"If he had the heart, I would have gone to see Hong Wan by now."
In fact, a person's thoughts can be seen from his actions.
"I'm overthinking this, but we still need to tighten our grip on the forces behind Hu Zhenghe that you mentioned. If that doesn't work, I'll send the military out."
The old emperor smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. The Jinyiwei are here. We have some clues and are investigating."
"If the military intervenes, they will only hide deeper. We need to take our time. They won't be able to do anything in a short time."
When he said this, there was no trace of sickness in the old emperor's eyes. It was as if he was a real dragon gazing at everything in the world.
"All right, Your Majesty, as long as you have a plan now."
The three of them felt a little awkward after . After all, Xiao Yan had no experience in such things.
In his previous life, he was a poor delivery man who didn't even have a partner. How could he have experienced the world of Aquaman ?
"Your Highness, I want to know, besides Sister Youyue, do you have anyone else?"
As soon as Jia Lingyao said this, Ye Youyue immediately became excited and looked straight at Xiao Yan like a gossipy little sister.
“This one, really doesn’t exist anymore.”
Upon hearing this, Jia Lingyao shook her head and said, "I thought Your Highness was a man who dared to act and take responsibility, but it turns out he is just like this!"
Xiao Yan suddenly became a little angry. He had always tolerated Jia Lingyao, but she was so rude. How could he not be angry?
"Why should I not take responsibility? Yes, yes. No, no!"
Then Jia Lingyao looked at Xiao Yan with interest and said, "Then Your Highness, please tell me what's going on with this little sister of the Sun family?"
Upon hearing this, not only Xiao Yan was stunned, but Ye Youyue beside him was also stunned. Is it true?
"This... that's just a merchant working for me. It's not what you think."
Xiao Yan couldn't understand why he, the crown prince, was so firmly controlled by Jia Lingyao.
"Oh? So that's how it is. I was overthinking it. I'm sorry."
Xiao Yan was a little helpless and said, "That's not right. How do you know this person?"
To be honest, this was the first time that Xiao Yan met Sun Ruiyi. How did Jia Lingyao know about this person?
"Didn't someone come to look for you that day? I thought you had let someone down and that person came to your door, so I secretly waited outside."
"If that's the case, then I'm overthinking it. Your Highness, don't mind it. But even if there really is something, I wouldn't care. After all, who can refuse a beautiful girl?"
Xiao Yan was numb again. He really couldn't stand this weird attitude.
"I've already said that they are people who work for me. The Sun family is related to how I can solve the people's livelihood problems in the future, so it is very important."
"His elder brother, who depended on him for everything, was assassinated because of what happened to me. He came here yesterday just because of this matter."
The two girls didn't know this, and they immediately felt some sympathy for Sun Ruiyi.
"This...I really don't know about this. I'm sorry. I shouldn't talk like that."
It was rare that Jia Lingyao stopped being sarcastic towards Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "That's nothing. I just hope you can trust me more and have more confidence in yourself."
"After all, if nothing unexpected happens, we will live together for the rest of our lives!"
