Chapter 202 No matter what, let’s see first
The fact that Wen Chengyuan rushed back to tell her showed that the situation was not optimistic, at least for now.
Wen Hemian's mind went blank for a long time, her eyes trembled, and she couldn't say anything. Faced with such news, she was unexpectedly calm.
She subconsciously wanted to reach out to pick up the broken pieces of the teacup that had just fallen to the ground, but fortunately the system reacted quickly and jumped over to block her action.
Wen Chengyuan's thoughts were not so delicate, but as he spoke, his tone began to become difficult: "Shuang'er, although we don't know what the situation is, we must prepare for the worst. I have a hunch that Prince Jia may be waiting for this opportunity."
As long as the emperor is still alive, no matter what Prince Jia does, he will end up with a reputation of being unjust. But if something happens to the emperor, that will be a different story.
The current emperor has no children, and Prince Jia, as the emperor's only uncle, has the opportunity to compete for the throne.
The capital city is heavily guarded and is full of the emperor's men. Prince Jia has no chance to take action. The only thing he can do is to take advantage of this moment and find ways to get rid of Xie Lang.
The system interrupted Wen Hemian's trance. She took a few quick breaths and paused for a while: "...You are right."
"Just because there's no news, it doesn't mean that he's definitely in trouble. I should trust him and calm the current situation down."
Wen Hemian's mind was running wildly, and he felt as if his emotions were numb. Although he didn't feel too sad or worried, it felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped, making it almost hard to breathe.
There is a kind of heavy, depressed feeling, and confusion that can never be realized.
Wen Chengyuan took a deep breath. He noticed something was wrong with his daughter. He thought for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice, "Your mother didn't let me tell you, but I think you have the right to know. I've asked my men to investigate. Report back anytime if there's any news."
At this moment, no matter what other grudges there are, Xie Lang is the monarch, and the wise monarch that he has been long awaited for. As a subject, Wen Chengyuan has the responsibility and obligation to find him.
"Dad is planning to go to Prince Jia's fiefdom, you..."
"No, I'll go."
Wen Hemian interrupted him, his voice calm, but his eyes were firm and unquestionable: "The border needs you, if you are worried, you can assign a deputy general to me."
Moreover, Wen Hemian had a hunch that she should go over.
"I know you and mom will be worried, but with it by my side, maybe things won't be as bad as you think."
Wen Hemian glanced at the cat in her arms. Wen Chengyuan followed her gaze and immediately understood. Then he let out a long sigh and said, "Whatever."
He could see that his daughter cared about the little emperor.
The relationship between them is difficult to judge even as a father and mother, but I have said it before, Wen Chengyuan and Qin Yi are not pedantic people, and we just need to respect Wen Hemian's choice.
Wen Chengyuan stepped forward and patted her shoulder: "I'll get ready right away, Shuang'er, you should also get ready to go."
After saying this, he left in a hurry just like when he came.
It was not until Wen Hemian and the system were the only ones left in the room that she let her fragile emotions show. Her nails almost dug into her palms, and her voice became hoarse: "System, Xie Lang will be fine, right?"
As a villain that neither the male nor female protagonist can do anything to, and the system can’t do anything to him, there will definitely be no accidents in this kind of thing...
The system sighed: "Sorry host, the system does not have the authority to tell you this."
"No permission..."
Wen Hemian repeated these three words several times, his mind was shaking and his eyes were almost red.
This is probably one of her rare gaffes.
Just when the system was thinking about whether to find a way to comfort her, she suddenly stood up, her throat choked: "No matter what, let's see first."
Wen Chengyuan understood the importance of military morale. Before coming to tell Wen Hemian, he had ordered the news to be blocked. In addition to the troops brought by Wen Hemian himself, he also allocated an additional two thousand people to Wen Hemian.
The general who was traveling with them was named Qi Liangsheng. He was a calm and steady man, and one of Wen Chengyuan's trusted confidants. He knew the purpose of this trip, and did not waste words when they met.
"Sir Wen, the general said that we should first meet up with His Majesty's men, and then go to Prince Jia's residence together."
Most of the news in the capital could not spread so far, but as the confidant of Prince Huailing, Qi Liangsheng knew more, and naturally knew the true relationship between Wen Hemian and Xie Lang.
However, he took a look and didn't see much emotional fluctuation on Wen Hemian's face.
I don’t understand, I really don’t understand.
But this was not something he should care about. He soon heard Wen Hemian's reply: "Listen to my father, let's go!"
It was not a pleasant feeling to walk in the snow. Wen Hemian was extremely afraid of cold. The cold wind blew on his face, mixed with fine snowflakes, almost freezing him. He blinked several times before he could barely overcome the cold.
The situation was urgent and they couldn't afford to rest halfway.
The group traveled almost day and night and finally arrived at the fastest speed.
But before they could reach the camp to meet up with the rest of the people, they encountered a roadblock instead.
"Uu——"
Qi Liangsheng was walking in front and made a pause gesture, staring vigilantly at Prince Jia Xie Yong who suddenly appeared with his men on the road they had to pass.
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
After all, on the surface, they had not yet broken off relations, so Qi Liangsheng could only endure the disgust in his heart and deal with him.
Xie Yong did not reply to his words, but instead looked straight behind him, and said calmly: "Why not ask your Lord Wen to come out and talk to me?"
It was obvious that he came prepared. Qi Liangsheng's face darkened. Just as he was about to say something else, Wen Hemian rode his horse forward.
She took off her hood, her face was a little pale due to the wind, but her posture was straight, her eyebrows were cold, and she looked elegant and noble. Her eyes were a little cold: "What does Your Highness Prince Jia want to talk to me about?"
On the surface, Prince Jia doesn't have many people following him, so no one knows if there are people lying in ambush around, so it's better not to act rashly.
"Lord Wen is really ruthless. After all, I have met you several times in the capital."
Xie Yong said this with a smile.
Wen Hemian was too lazy to haggle with him: "I am not ruthless, it has nothing to do with His Royal Highness Prince Jia. This is not your fiefdom, you have no right to stop me."
"Of course." Xie Yong finished speaking, and suddenly asked, "Lord Wen is so anxious to see the little emperor? As far as I know, the little emperor is not in the camp now."
Qi Liangsheng's expression changed slightly, and he quickly turned his head to look at Wen Hemian.
Wen Hemian's face remained calm, as he maintained a composed attitude. He ignored Prince Jia's provocation and looked over with a faint gaze, showing his majesty without even getting angry.
"I'm very confused. Since Your Highness Prince Jia knows that I'm going to see His Majesty, why is he still talking nonsense to me here? Are you worried that something unexpected will happen, so you are trying to stop me?"
