marry the princess

Chapter 162 Concubine?

After wiping away Yan Xinyao's tears, Yan Zhi took her hand and sat aside.Yan Xinyao was sobbing and still looking very sad, Yan Zhi comforted her a few words and then she got better.

"A few days ago, you told Dad that you were willing to marry into the Fourteenth Palace?"

"Yeah." Yan Xinyao wiped her tears, "Yaoyao is willing, Yaoyao is willing to solve father's worries..."

Yan Zhi sighed, "If you hadn't had such a major incident a few days ago, you would have really solved my problems for me. Now our Yan family has a big handle in the hands of the Fourteenth Prince. In the future, the relationship with the Fourteenth Prince can only be One level closer, there can be no more mistakes."

Yan Xinyao didn't understand Yan Zhi's consideration of power and status in the court, she just fell in love with Murong Huayi.And if Yan Xinyao didn't go wrong this time, Yan Zhiben still has a way out. After all, Su Leyan is just a pawn he throws out to marry him. It doesn't matter whether he wants it or not. tied together.

Looking at the situation in the court, the Seventh Prince lost his army, and after all, Yan Zhi also felt that the Seventh Prince was held back by women.If it is really necessary to unite with one side, Murong Huayi is indeed a good candidate. After all, he is still the heir of the Empress Dowager Chengyuan. Although the Empress Dowager does not interfere with the government, his majestic power cannot be underestimated.

Looking at Yan Zhi's brows and eyes still a little sad, Yan Xinyao said some soft words, saying that she really knows how willful and ignorant she was before, and now she sincerely repents and admits her mistakes, and wants to be a sensible and good daughter, Yan Zhi listens Yes, very pleased.

Yang Rurui has been watching their father and daughter chatting, she is also concerned about this matter, but Yan Zhi's attitude towards her a few days ago still made her feel resentful, she refused to take the initiative to talk to him, and just watched and listened As he watched, Yan Zhi didn't notice these details, he just held Yan Xinyao's hand and talked to her.Knowing that she really changed her mind, he was relieved.

"Fourteenth prince, is he still angry with father?" Yan Xinyao's eyes were red, her voice was soft, and she was extremely warm and pitiful.

Yan Zhi looked at her, a little reluctant to speak, "The Fourteenth Prince wants to take you as a concubine."

"What?!" Yang Rurui, who had been silent all this time, heard the word "concubine", and couldn't help it anymore.

Yan Xinyao's eyes widened in disbelief, "Concubine?"

When talking about this matter with Murong Huayi in Yuxiang Tower two days ago, Yan Zhi was also shocked at that time.Although Yan Xinyao was only their adopted daughter to the outside world, accepting her as a concubine was indeed a great humiliation.

"Xinyao is the eldest lady of my dignified general's mansion, the position of side concubine is already a grievance, taking Xinyao as a concubine? It's really deceiving people too much!" Yang Rurui said angrily.

"At this point, it's not our turn to pick and choose."

It's not that Yan Zhi didn't fight for Yan Xinyao, but when Murong Huayi was drinking tea after dinner, Shi Shiran said: "Everyone in the world knows that I have married Yan Xinyao as my concubine. After a year, if I marry the general again Since the female is a side concubine, people in the world may think that my Fourteenth Prince's Palace can only accommodate women from the General's Palace."

Yan Zhi was already in a weak position, and he didn't dare to argue any more. He was relieved that Murong Huayi let this matter go.

When Yan Xinyao thought that she would marry the same person a year later, her status would change from concubine to concubine, she would feel depressed. If she had the temperament of the past, she would definitely turn her face when she heard this, but she just suffered a loss. She learned how to be good, she didn't show dissatisfaction in front of Yan Zhi, she accepted the grievance with tears, "Yaoyao listens to father's arrangement..."

Reassuring Yan Xinyao, and asked someone to prepare hot water for her to wash away the boredom of the past few days, Yan Zhi and Yang Rurui left Yan Xinyao's room.

On the way, Yang Rurui was very dissatisfied with Murong Huayi's accepting Yan Xinyao as his concubine, but she didn't complain, and just walked all the way in such a sullen way, feeling unhappy.Knowing that Yan Xinyao was their biological daughter, even though Murong Huayi had a thousand high-sounding reasons, he couldn't hide his intention to humiliate the General's House.

"lady?"

Yang Rurui was silent all the way, Yan Zhi was not used to it, so he called her.The man has a strong temper, but he completely forgot that he was angry and violent to her a few days ago, and now he calls her as if nothing happened.Yang Rurui answered in a muffled voice, which reminded him of what happened a few days ago, and he felt a little guilty, so he took the initiative to lean towards Yang Rurui, "Ma'am has been worried about this, but now, are you still worried?"

Seeing his calm attitude, Yang Rurui remembered his attitude towards her a few days ago, and said awkwardly: "Master is happy, my worry is just worry, and when I am unhappy, I just chatter."

Seeing that she still cared about the past few days, Yan Zhi didn't know how to persuade her for a while, and finally heaved a long sigh, "Yaoyao got into a big disaster this time, and she was also wronged."

"Are you really willing for our daughter to be the Fourteenth Prince's concubine?" Yang Rurui couldn't hold back her worries in the end, "What is Yaoyao's identity, how can her status in the Fourteenth Prince's Palace be worse than that of Su Leyan?!"

"I heard the fourteenth prince's tone, it seems that he is not satisfied with Su Leyan, I'm afraid she has started to be treated coldly by the prince in the past few days."

Yang Rurui frowned, this unfavored concubine, a concubine of low status, what kind of intentions did the Fourteenth Prince have for treating the Yan family like this?

Yan Zhi is still unpredictable, and it is too early to make a conclusion.

In the Fourteenth Prince's Mansion.

Murong Huayi has not been to Yanyu Pavilion for three days.

Su Leyan stood on the attic and watched, her eyes were melancholy.

Ever since she was caught pregnant, the two separated, and Murong Huayi has been staying overnight in Yanyu Pavilion, and there are only a few busy days when he didn't come, and when he didn't come, he would send a message, calling She didn't have to wait, these few days, she ate alone and went to bed alone, Murong Huayi didn't come to explain a word, she was already worried, this made her even more restless.

Su Leyan didn't wait in the pavilion that day, she went to Murong Huayi's study and bedroom, but there was no one there.

"My lord, my lord is back in Japan today, but as soon as I settled down, someone in the palace sent a message that it seemed that something happened, so my lord rushed to the palace again."

After turning around, Wei Lie finally saw Su Leyan and stepped forward to report.

"So it is."

In the past, she never knew how busy Murong Huayi was with his work.Very early on, when she was still living in Shuixin Pavilion, Murong Huayi didn't have much time to come. She had nothing to do all day long, and she just flipped through books when she was free. Occasionally, when Murong Huayi came over, the two of them couldn't find anything. After all, she also felt that Murong Huayi was just going through the motions on a whim; later, Murong Huayi stayed in Yanyu Pavilion, and Murong Huayi always stayed by her side after morning court and business affairs, which was not a bad idea. I feel that Murong Huayi has an important position.

Only now did she suddenly feel that Murong Huayi was not only the master of this huge palace, but also an important minister of a country.

Su Leyan stood in front of the study and thought for a while, then left with Qingyue.

At the same time, in the Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace.

When Murong Huayi arrived in a hurry, Emperor Murong Qingyu was still dressed in a yellow robe, and was sitting in the upper seat with his chest up. It seemed that something urgent happened not long after the court.

"The Fourteenth Prince has arrived." As soon as Murong Huayi entered the study, Master Huang, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, stepped forward and said.

In addition to Mr. Huang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, there were Zhou Yuyi and Prime Minister Yi from the Imperial Hospital, and everyone had serious expressions on their faces.

It seems that nothing major happened this morning.

Murong Huayi looked around for a while, meditated for a while, stepped forward, and greeted Emperor Murong Qingyu, "I don't know what the emperor wants to call for?"

"Prime Minister, tell the Fourteenth Prince what happened just now."

"Yes."

Old Prime Minister Yi is over fifty years old, his hair has turned silvery white, he has assisted the late emperor, and he is dedicated to serving the Moxuan Kingdom, he is the most upright elder in the court.

After Prime Minister Yi briefly described the matter, Murong Huayi knew why Emperor Murong Qingyu called him into the palace urgently.

Murong Yu showed signs of poisoning in the prison.

"Since the Seventh Prince was imprisoned, I have only visited the past two days, right?" I haven't said much about the details, but Murong Huayi already knows the reason for coming here.

When Master Huang saw Murong Huayi so calm and open, he couldn't help being a little puzzled, but he still told the truth without being humble or overbearing, "The sky is a prison, and it has never been possible for ordinary people to enter. It has been true that only the fourteenth prince held the emperor's waist two days ago. The card has been to the cell of the Seventh Prince."

Murong Huayi nodded, and then looked at Imperial Physician Zhou, "So, the Imperial Physician also ruled out the possibility of unclean meals in the prison?"

Doctor Zhou's face was kind. Although they seemed to be laying all the blame on Murong Huayi at this time, he was still a little slow in speaking, but he only gave the simplest description of the facts, "The Imperial Hospital has made a detailed diagnosis. The symptoms around the prince are not from eating unclean food. The old minister also checked the cell, and there is no dampness, cold, yin, and no disease, rats, and ants. Therefore, the possibility of the seventh prince falling into a coma caused by eating food is extremely small due to the outside world. .”

Murong Huayi nodded again, appearing to agree very much, and thought for a while, "Then, what happened to the Seventh Prince in prison can only be due to my grudge, and what I did to the Seventh Prince during the visit." Possibility of chronic poison?"

"This……"

Although several adults were indeed so skeptical that they rushed to report to Emperor Murong Qingyu after the incident and summoned Murong Huayi, but hearing Murong Huayi speak so calmly and indifferently, they still felt a little uneasy.After all, although Murong Huayi is the most suspected, they have no conclusive evidence.

Several adults looked at each other, Emperor Murong Qingyu didn't speak, and sat on it with a serious expression.

It was Murong Huayi himself who once again broke the deadlock of silence, "Doctor Zhou, what poison did the Seventh Prince suffer from? Can you find out?"

"Digitalis powder." Doctor Zhou replied, "Eating more than a certain amount of this medicine by mistake will cause nausea and vomiting symptoms, which are similar to the general reaction of eating unclean food, and it is difficult to distinguish it at the beginning. , The Seventh Prince frequently showed such symptoms in prison and attracted the attention of the guards, and only after he fell into a coma did he realize the seriousness of the matter."

　Murong Yu, you have a lot of thoughts~~~
