The second marriage of the emperor's favorite princess

535 Chapter 16

In the imperial study room, Wu Qihong stood aside.In a month's time, everything was arranged properly.How many days and nights she did not close her eyes, but Duanmu Canglan could not see any tiredness.Wu Qihong always admired the emperor for his majesty at any time and any place.

"Your Majesty, the guards have sent a message that everyone in the harem will be able to return to the palace tomorrow."

"Ah."

Wu Qihong pursed her lips: "The edict concerning the death of the eldest son of the emperor has also been drafted, please read it Your Majesty."

Hua Xi took the brochure Wu Qihong handed over, and gently placed it on the dragon case.Duanmu Canglan looked down, her hand could not help caressing the golden paper, as if touching her son's small face.

"Concubine Wu didn't know about this, did she?" Wu Qihong observed the emperor's face while speaking: "It was indeed Concubine Wu and Qiuxuan who discovered the agency, but they were caught before they could report to His Majesty. Mo Ningtian, who followed him, took him away. Master Qiuxuan was tortured until he was out of shape, and he refused to reveal the whereabouts of the sheepskin map. In the end, Mo Ningtian found it out by himself. Concubine Wu also resisted to the death, until Master Qiuxuan was captured. After she was killed, she pretended to obey Duanmu Ruoze in order to provoke his relationship with Mo Ningtian and disrupt Duanmu Ruoze's rule. Concubine Wu did not betray His Majesty, she is just a sad victim."

Duanmu Canglan tightly clenched the hand on the memorial, and the memorial was also clenched together: "Why didn't you say this earlier?"

"In order to avoid the eyes and ears of Duanmu Ruoze and Mo Ningtian, it was not easy to convey the news to His Majesty. After the war and reconstruction, I also forgot about it... I thought His Majesty had already found out... ..."

"You go down."

"Yes."

Wu Qihong stepped back, Lu Hai brought two servants to serve tea, Huaxi took it and placed it in front of Duanmu Canglan, then waved them all to step back, and she also hurriedly stepped back.

Duanmu Canglan closed his eyes, that night, he stood in the yard, listening to how she was possessed by Duanmu Ruoze.He thought she had betrayed him because she was willing to be played by Duanmu Ruoze.If he had been smarter and thought of this eventuality, he would not have left her behind.

It was his fault that she was defiled.

"Flower joy."

The old eunuch rushed in: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"After the harem comes back, you arrange Xiaohuanzi and Qingyu in a clean courtyard, and don't allow them to move around. In addition, the Wuhua Palace will continue to block the news, and don't let Concubine Wu know about the eldest prince."

"Yes, the slave will do it right away."

Let her give birth to the baby safely first.

The harem are back, a lot of Yingying Yanyan.I haven't seen Duanmu Canglan for a year, and they all hope that the emperor can visit them.And Duanmu Canglan was worrying about Bai Li'an, how could she be in the mood to talk to those women?But the physiological needs, I will find them to vent.

"Your Majesty." Going forward, Gao Chi ran over and followed the emperor to Zhengyang Hall.

"Have you found Qiu Xuan's body?"

"The last general couldn't find it... I heard that Master Qiu's body was thrown into the dog hunting ground, has it already..."

"How many people know about this?"

"Only the two eunuchs from the Hound Field."

"Kill them all, and you forget about it. Where is Qiu Xuan's body? Let it become a mystery."

Gao Chi frowned and said, "Yes, the general will know."

He did this for Bai Lian, and as a mystery, there is still a glimmer of hope.But if Bai Lian knew that Qiu Xuan's body was fed to dogs, would she go crazy?

He didn't want to admit it, but he knew very well in his heart that Bai Lian's love for Qiu Xuan was very deep.What she said was right, Qiu Xuan had no desire or demand for her, only selfless devotion.But he longed for her body, expecting her to give birth to a child for him, how does his love compare with Qiu Xuan's?

In the early morning, he scanned the people below.Many faces were absent, because of this rebellion, many important positions were removed, and when the incident happened suddenly, he did not have suitable candidates. He needed to hold a national examination to fill these positions.

In the court hall, all the ministers were talking about something, a young eunuch walked in from the main entrance, pressed against the wall until he went down to the north, Huaxi walked down the steps, he whispered something in Huaxi's ear, and then stepped back.Huaxi hurried up to the crown prince, walked around Duanmu Canglan, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Wu is giving birth."

Duanmu Canglan slightly shook the hands on her lap, and said softly to Huaxi: "You tell me, once the child is born, take him to the Palace of Light, and I will raise him personally."

"Yes."

All the people in the courtroom were guessing what happened, but the conversation was still going on.Duanmu Canglan sat upright, but her mind had already flown out of the Zhengyang Hall and towards the Wuhua Hall...

After going down to the court, I heard the report from the servants that Concubine Wu gave birth to a fat boy and had been sent to the Guangming Palace.He didn't go to the Imperial Study Room, but went directly to the Guangming Palace.

The child is closely guarded and no one is allowed to approach.When he walked into the Hall of Light, the newborn little guy was sleeping naively.

He walked to the side of the bed, looked at the little life on the couch, and clenched his fists involuntarily with the hands beside him.

He leaned over and kissed his forehead lightly.There is something flickering in the drooping eyes and long eyelashes.The child was just born, pitiful, wrinkled, and ugly, but in his eyes, it was the most beautiful baby in the world.

Father, I will protect you with my life...

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess is here."

Duanmu Canglan straightened up, and said coldly: "What did I say? Don't talk about the princess, without my order, even the gods can't enter this room for half a step. The servants in this room listen carefully, and serve with all your heart." Your Highness, in case, I will kill all of you."

The servants hurriedly knelt down, and Duanmu Canglan left.

Walking out of the Guangming Palace, I saw the Eldest Princess standing outside with a livid face.There was a gentle smile on his lips: "Aunt."

"It turns out that His Majesty still recognizes me as an aunt, but why doesn't he allow me to see my nephew?"

"The child is still young, and there is nothing to see. When he grows up, he will naturally let his aunt see enough."

"Hmph, I know you're wary of me."

The eldest princess walked back, Duanmu Canglan was by her side: "Auntie is serious."

"You and I grew up in this harem. You are very clear about how terrifying this place is. How did your first child die? You still doubt it?"

Duanmu Canglan frowned slightly, and said nothing. The eldest princess glanced at him and continued: "Concubine Wu has done so many things that are contrary to Chang Lun, and the women in the harem have hated her to the extreme. Plus You dote on her so much, and only she can give birth to a child for you, I'm afraid that sooner or later these jealousy will burn that beautiful girl to death."
