Chapter 263 Royal
"I'm here to say goodbye to you." Xuan Yuchen's voice was low and firm, his eyes full of reluctance and determination.
Jiang Xue's heart sank suddenly. She held Xuan Yuchen's hand tightly and asked anxiously, "Where are you going? When will you be back?"
Xuan Yuchen looked at Jiang Xue deeply, his eyes full of tenderness and promise: "My name is Xuan Yuchen. If I am lucky enough to return, I will marry you. Wait for me."
Jiang Xue's eyes moistened instantly when she heard this. She knew that this separation might be a long, long time, but she also understood Xuan Yuchen's determination and commitment.
She nodded gently, her voice choking: "I'll wait for you, Achen. No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you."
Xuan Yuchen hugged Jiang Xue tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his body.
''wait for me''
They snuggled up to each other, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.
After a long time, Xuan Yuchen let go of Jiang Xue. He looked at her deeply, then turned and left.
Jiang Xue stood there, watching Xuan Yuchen's back gradually going away.
......
"Miss, why did Young Master Chen leave again?" Chen Yuxi looked at Jiang Xue with a puzzled look on her face.
"I don't know. He said he came to say goodbye to me." There was a hint of confusion and reluctance in Jiang Xue's voice.
"Miss..." Chen Yuxi hesitated, as if she had something to say.
"Xier, are there any wealthy families with the surname Xuan in this country?" Jiang Xue suddenly asked.
"Xuan?" Chen Yuxi's tone revealed a trace of fear, "Miss, this surname Xuan is a royal family."
Jiang Xue was startled and stood up suddenly: "Royal?"
"Xuan Yuchen?" Jiang Xue's voice was filled with disbelief.
"Miss." Chen Yuxi was also shocked by this sudden news.
"Xier, what's wrong?" Jiang Xue looked at Chen Yuxi's reaction and became more certain of her guess.
"Xuan Yuchen is the current crown prince, born to the queen. I heard he went missing more than two years ago." Chen Yuxi explained in a low voice, her voice full of surprise and nervousness.
"So, Achen is the prince?" Jiang Xue felt her heart beating faster. She had never associated Xuan Yuchen with the royal family.
"Ah! I thought he looked a bit like the Queen, it turns out..." Chen Yuxi muttered softly, as if she was also digesting this shocking news.
"Xier, what are you talking about?" Jiang Xue looked at Chen Yuxi, wanting to know more about Xuan Yuchen.
Chen Yuxi took a deep breath and told Jiang Xue everything she knew about Xuan Yuchen.
Jiang Xue listened with mixed feelings, shock and emotion.
She had never thought that she would have such a deep connection with the royal family, and she never expected that Xuan Yuchen would be the crown prince.
"Xier, do you know the royal family?" Jiang Xue looked at Chen Yuxi in surprise. She had never thought that her personal maid had such a background.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yuxi finally spoke: "Miss, Xi'er comes from the Chen family, one of the four families that manufacture weapons. She is the eldest daughter of the Chen family."
Jiang Xue was even more shocked when she heard this: "Xi'er, but how could you..."
Chen Yuxi's eyes were red and tears welled up in them: "Back then, when that evil concubine Liu Guifei failed to win over the Chen family, she secretly persecuted my Chen family. Now my Chen family is gone, and some of my clansmen don't know where they went..." When she said this, she finally couldn't help it and tears fell.
Jiang Xue hurriedly stepped forward to hug Chen Yuxi and comforted her softly: "Xi'er, don't be sad. Those are all things of the past. We will face the future together."
Chen Yuxi wiped her tears and continued, "My Chen family mainly manufactures weapons. We have made weapons and war tools for Emperor Xuan for generations. My family controls many iron and coal mines in Xuan Country and is one of the indispensable pillars of the court. However, all this was destroyed by Concubine Liu's conspiracy..."
Jiang Xue listened to Chen Yuxi's narration, her heart filled with anger and sympathy.
She didn't expect that the maid around her would have such a tragic experience, and she didn't expect that the power struggle in the royal family would be so cruel and ruthless.
"Xi'er, don't worry, I will do my best to help you." Jiang Xue said firmly. She knew that although she was just an ordinary woman, she was willing to stand up for her friends and justice.
Chen Yuxi gazed at Jiang Xue with gratitude and thanked her sincerely: "Thank you, Miss, for always being by my side. With you by my side, I have nothing to fear."
Then he paused for a moment, as if thinking deeply about something, and then reminded softly, "By the way, Miss, if you want to know more about the royal family, you might as well go and ask Master Feng for advice."
Hearing this, Jiang Xue's curiosity was instantly ignited. She opened her eyes wide and asked eagerly, "Why is that so?"
Chen Yuxi answered patiently, "This young master Feng's aunt is none other than Concubine Feng. She must be well aware of the internal affairs of the royal family."
Jiang Xue suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly to show her understanding.
Then let's go to the city." Jiang Xue decided. She wanted to learn more about the royal family as soon as possible, especially the information related to Xuan Yuchen.
"Xi'er, go and prepare now." Chen Yuxi responded immediately. She knew that once the young lady made a decision, she would take action immediately.
"Okay." Jiang Xue responded briefly, and then the two of them got busy preparing to enter the city.
......
In Jiangjia Town, inside Feng’s residence, the atmosphere was solemn.
"Second Master." A servant hurried into the study and saluted to Second Master Feng who was sitting at the desk.
"Yeah." Feng Qingyu responded softly, with a serious look in his eyes.
"News has come from the capital that the emperor has passed away this month." The servant reported in a low voice with a slight tremor in his voice.
Feng Qingyu frowned upon hearing this, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Did my father react?"
"The master asked you to prepare a large amount of food to solve the urgent problem." The servant replied.
"Well, it was transported to a villa in the suburbs half a month ago." Feng Qingyu nodded. He had already expected this day to come, so he made preparations in advance.
He knew that the emperor's death would cause a series of turmoil, and food was the key to stabilizing the situation.
Feng Qingyu stood up, walked to the window, looked at the sky outside, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
He understood that the days ahead would be full of challenges and uncertainties.
At the same time, Jiang Xue and Chen Yuxi were already on their way to the city.
They didn't know that a great change that would determine the fate of the country was about to happen, and that they were inextricably linked to this change.
two quarters of an hour later
"Second Master, Miss Jiang is here." Hong Chang knocked on the door gently, with a hint of joy in her voice.
When Feng Qingyu heard the news, he was delighted. He quickly stood up, walked quickly to the door, and pushed it open.
