The dusk fell, and the city of Shengjing fell into the silence of the night.
All forces are watching from the other side.
Prince Gong stood in front of his bedroom and looked towards the direction of the palace. He could already guess the panic in the palace at this moment.
But...this is just the beginning.
With a heavy weight on his back, Princess Gong slowly stepped forward and covered him with her cloak.
"Brother, please save your face. I'm afraid that tomorrow, the imperial edict granting marriage will be sent to the Wei Mansion."
Naturally, the marriages between the Wei and Yan families are not included.
Princess Gong said warmly: "I'm afraid the Fifth Princess doesn't want to."
"She doesn't want to? Now it's up to her to make the decision? At most, it's just a desperate attempt to get the emperor to take his life back. But she cherishes her life, so how can she really be willing to die?"
Prince Gong said this without any pity.
Even though Ji Shimin is considered his junior.
In the early years, in order to consolidate his power, Emperor Ghe used the gift of marriage to harm many people. He must suffer the consequences himself.
The couple stood outside the house.
"Brother Huo may be suspicious of what happened today."
Hearing this, Prince Gong suddenly looked away. After a long time, he said.
"The situation is not yet decided, so let's keep it secret for a day. I'll ask the accountant to allocate some money to him later. It's embarrassing for such a big man to borrow money from the little princess of Yanglinghou Mansion and still not return it!"
The princess was silent.
Prince Gong also noticed her disappointment and immediately asked: "Have you ever complained about me in these years?"
"I know that you feel sorry for that brat. But you can't tell him that I, a father who is greedy for life and afraid of death, deliberately raised him to waste."
Princess Gong knew her concerns: "Your Majesty, what you said is inappropriate. This matter was decided upon after discussion between you and me."
Half-grown children can't hide secrets. What's more, Ji Huo has a temperament that jumps up and down. He doesn't have the slightest forbearance of the Cui family, so how can they dare to use it to take risks?
"A few years before the official ascended the throne, it was good if we were needed. If we were not needed, the lives of everyone in Prince Gong's palace would be like nothing. After the incident with King Huai'an, Your Majesty, you became wary. If we hadn't understood the current situation,
I'm just afraid of following in the footsteps of the Prince of Huai'an."
"Back then, you secretly helped the third prince. You put a lot of effort into it. One was to find Prince Huai'an, whom you had known for many years. The other was to be sad."
And this is nothing more than recognizing the cold-bloodedness of Emperor Geng.
Parents love their children and have far-reaching plans.
When they are no longer capable, what will happen to their children? It is better to take risks and help Ji Qi ascend to the throne. They will step on the thorns on the road, and finally pave the road to prosperity for their children.
That's fine, at least Ji Huo grew up safely.
This night, many people were awake.
for example,
In the palace, Ji Shimin held the scissors straight to her neck, not daring to pierce it at all, but she roared like a demon from the underworld.
"Who is Wei Xiheng? How dare he marry me? If I don't marry her, I won't marry her even if I die!"
"My father promised me earlier that I would be given to Xie Xun! He can't even lift a finger from Xie Xun! I feel sick just thinking about him. It's clear that my son has been plotted against me, and I feel wronged!
He offended me and deserves to be killed! But why did he decree a marriage? Doesn’t he love me any more? I am the most favored princess of Da Qi!"
Naturally, he got a scolding from Empress Zou.
"Xie Xun? Don't even think about him!"
"How can your father help you with this matter? Only by granting a marriage can the final dignity be preserved. He is afraid that he is just tired of you. Since the accident, he has not even seen you for a moment, and even the servants have not sent anyone to inquire.
.”
"Your father has ordered Qin Tianjian to set an auspicious time as soon as possible. Waiting for surrender, don't think about other things."
Another example
Everyone in the Wei Mansion felt like they were mourning for an heir.
Wei Xiheng slumped on the couch, his whole body powerless. If his eyes weren't moving, he might have been a corpse with all his energy sucked out.
"Doctor, how is my son?"
The doctor put down his hand to check the pulse and said hurriedly: "I am incompetent. My son is in bad shape and overworked. He is most in a deficit right now. He is afraid that he will no longer be able to have sex, and heirs cannot even think about it."
Wei Xiheng's eyes were red, as if he wanted to kill someone. But he had no strength to move, and all the bones in his body hurt as if they were broken.
As early as the first time, he couldn't hold it any longer. But Ji Shimin was pestering her, and for some reason, he couldn't bear to push her away and was going crazy again.
Such a good Yan Mi, so I'm afraid she won't be his wife. But Ji Shimin...he really doesn't like her!
It was only because of that poisonous woman that he ruined her.
Wei Xiheng's hatred grew.
Another example
Yan Mi, who returned home late, sat at the desk with the candlelight flickering on the table.
Two hours ago, she met Xuan Ai at the Earl's Mansion of Yongchang.
Xuan Ai was tidying up her clothes, and there seemed to be a little smile on her brows and eyes.
Yan Mi greeted her: "I heard that the Xuan family sister is leaving Shengjing, is it true?"
Xuan Ai had some friendship with her and had discussed poetry and poetry many times in private. Yan Mi didn't feel offended by asking her this question.
"good."
She asked her servants to watch the tea.
"You also know about me. Fortunately, my mother-in-law is considerate. After we divorced, there were many matchmakers who came to visit me. But I was afraid after all. My mother-in-law knew my thoughts and didn't mention the matter of remarriage. The matchmakers were also kicked out.
Get out."
"I'm relieved."
Xuan Ai said warmly: "Someone once said that girls should not live in the same world, so I thought about going out for a walk."
Yan Mi looked at her and didn't go around in circles: "If there's no one to talk to on the way, Sister Xuan might as well take me with you."
Xuan Ai was very surprised.
This is really not something Yan Mi would say.
"I've also heard about what happened in the Zou family, so don't worry about it."
Xuan Ai thought she couldn't stand the excitement and wanted to escape.
But Yan Mi knew how sober she was.
A gust of wind blew by, and the candle was almost blown out. However, Yan Mi remained motionless, maintaining her original posture.
In addition to candles and tea sets, there is also a rosewood box on the table.
There was neither joy nor sadness in Yan Mi's eyes, but her fingertips landed on the box gently and lovingly.
This...was sent by Xie Xun a few days ago.
That day, she got Xie Xun's letter and finally went to the appointment.
When she arrived, Xie Xun had been waiting for a long time.
Yan Mi sat down, not daring to look him in the eye: "Your Majesty Xie came out to find me, what do you mean?"
Xie Xun made her a cup of tea and behaved politely: "I'm going to deal with the Yan family."
This sentence is abrupt and conflicting.
"Does Mrs. Yan know about the grudges between the Xie Yan family?"
Yan Mi's hand tightened again and again. It was undeniable that when she came to see him, even though she had already made up her mind, she still had a trace of shameful wavering and expectation.
But this sentence sent her completely into the ice cellar, and her whole body felt cold and cold.
She smiled forcefully: "I know."
"But there's something I don't know about Madam Yan."
Xie Xun concealed his emotions: "These days, I have been investigating the matter of my aunt falling into the water, and I finally got the result. She did not make a mistake, but was harmed by others."
He said: "It's Yan Kun."
Yan Mi's face turned pale.
Xie Xun added: "In a while, I will have to deal with the Yan family."
