Chapter 1696: Seed of Suspicion

Translator: Lonelytree

Yuwen Yanyu smiled,” What could this be? Hong ‘er, you’re thinking too much.’

At this point, he consoled,” Hong ‘er, Imperial Uncle is a little tired. You should return to the residence first!”

Looking at the Imperial Uncle, who was obviously not in a good mood, Yuwen Xuhong had already achieved his purpose for coming there, so of course, he would go back.

“Yes, Imperial Uncle!” Yuwen Xuhong retreated respectfully.

After Yuwen Xuhong left, the Crown Prince’s expression suddenly changed. It was obvious that he did not look good.

The Crown Prince, who had always been known for his gentleness and elegance, actually had a change of expression.

If outsiders knew about this, their jaws would definitely drop.

The crown prince took a deep breath and was about to call out to the butler when the crown princess walked out from the inner room. When she saw that the crown prince was alone in the living room, her face was filled with doubt.

She walked up to the Crown Prince and bowed to him. Then, she asked,” Your Highness, I heard that the eldest grandprince is here. Where is he?”

Yuwen Yan Yu looked at the elegant and beautiful woman and was stunned.

Although the Crown Princess was quiet and beautiful, she was decent and generous in her work. She managed the Crown Prince’s Eastern Palace well and could be considered virtuous and virtuous. She was a good wife.

However, compared to Princess Gu…

Very quickly, Yuwen Yan Yu came to a realization and said to himself,” Hehe, what am I thinking? How can you let your imagination run wild just because of a dream?”

Yuwen Yanyu couldn’t help but laugh at himself.

However, human desires and ambitions were endless.

At this moment, Yuwen Yanyu did not know that because of a wrong decision, he would regret it for the rest of his life. Even until his death, he left the world with regret.

” Your Highness, Your Highness.” The Crown Princess called out to Yuwen Yan Yu several times, but there was no response. She couldn’t help but look worried as she continued to call out,” Your Highness…”

When the Crown Princess called out for the third time, Yuwen Yanyu finally came back to his senses.” Crown Princess!”

When the Crown Princess saw that the Crown Prince had regained his senses, her anxious heart calmed down slightly. Then, she asked with great concern,” Your Highness, what were you thinking about just now? I called you a few times, but you didn’t respond.”

Yuwen Yan Yu shook his head,” It’s nothing. Beloved consort, why are you looking for Hong ‘er?”

The Crown Princess smiled and said,” It’s nothing. Recently, Jing ‘er came to find me. When they were chatting, she said that His Royal Highness, the eldest grandprince, had not had a meal with her for almost a month.” In other words, the eldest grandprince had not been to the imperial consort’s room for almost a month.

Yuwen Yanyu frowned slightly, “Is there such a thing?”

For a descendant of the royal family to not go to his wife’s room for such a long time was a little outrageous.

Since the establishment of the Longyan Dynasty, the ancestors had passed down the ancestral teachings. Even if the later emperors did not like the empress or doted on a certain concubine, there was one rule that they had to go to the main empress’ room on the first and fifteenth of every month.

Even the emperor had to follow the teachings of his ancestors, not to mention the princes and grand princes.

Thus, Yuwen Xuhong hadn’t been to his wife’s room for such a long time, and this matter was serious.

Yuwen Yan Yu asked seriously,” What is going on?”

The Crown Princess rolled her eyes and sighed softly.” It’s all because of Princess Linglong!’

“Xiao Jingyu?” Yuwen Yanyu asked doubtfully,” Don’t tell me that Hong ‘Er has been going to her room all these days and has been ignoring the Imperial Consort?”

The Crown Princess let out a sigh and said,” The imperial consort said that ever since Princess Linglong married into the palace, the imperial grandprince has been treating her more and more coldly. Moreover, there were several times when the imperial grandprince wanted her to step down from her position so that Princess Linglong could take her place.”

When Yuwen Yanyu heard this, his expression was one of shock. He said in astonishment,” There’s actually such a thing?”

The Crown Princess nodded. “l heard from Imperial Consort that Imperial Grandprince had suggested to Imperial Father to abolish her position as the main consort and to make Princess Linglong the main consort. However, Imperial Father had suppressed all of them.”

“Ridiculous!” The Crown Prince instantly became very angry and said,” Hong ‘er is too outrageous.”

Crown Princess Ye Yao and Imperial Consort Ye Jing were cousins. Before they got married, they had a good relationship.

Therefore, whenever Ye Jing had any grievances, she would come to the Crown Prince’s residence to talk to the Crown Princess..
