Princess Feng Qinghua is a rich man

Chapter 160 The Prince’s Request (2)
Seeing him silent for a while, he asked doubtfully, "You Shuixin is your favorite?"

Ling Jiaheng glanced at her angrily, "No! I can't bear to reject my father. These years, he has had a hard time."

Mu Huaqi remained silent, she knew that the death of Empress Xian, Ling Jiaheng's biological mother, had something to do with the current Empress Murong.After all, Empress Xian is the first wife of the emperor. She was the concubine when the emperor was still a prince. At that time, the Murong family was just a side concubine.However, before the emperor ascended the throne, Empress Xian died in the palace because of illness.Mu Huaqi didn't believe it, how could such a good-looking person die of illness in just one month?She could think of this, and believed that the emperor and Ling Jiaheng also wanted it, but why have they been silent for so many years?The reason, presumably, was that the Murong family gave a lot of help when the emperor ascended the throne, and the emperor accepted their love.

However, she couldn't figure out one thing, since the death of Empress Xian was inextricably related to the Murong family, then why did the emperor love Ling Jiachen so much for so many years?Could it be because of accepting Murong's love?

"If that's the case, then I can't help you." If you want to pursue it layer by layer, it will definitely involve a lot. She doesn't want to involve herself in it to help him. One of the things she dislikes the most is trouble .

"I know you must have a lot of doubts in your heart. You wonder why the father knows that the death of the mother concubine is related to the empress but does nothing, and you also wonder why the father has only favored the fourth brother and the prince for so many years." There is a touch in the words. It's a pity that such an emotion can be caused by such an indifferent person. Thinking about these things, it's not that he doesn't feel nothing.

"Actually, what I'm more puzzled about is why you didn't even take any action." As a son, she really couldn't understand why she didn't ask anything even if she knew that her mother was murdered.

Ling Jiaheng looked up at the floating clouds in the sky, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, with a hint of sarcasm, "Father once swore not to kill Murong Shi in his whole life, I just didn't want to embarrass him. Over the years, Murong Shi has thought about it more than once. Putting me to death, if not for the fact that the father favors the fourth younger brother too much, I am afraid that I would have died long ago."

"So in order not to embarrass the emperor, you have behaved like this all these years? Have you never disobeyed him once?" In Ling Jiaheng's view, maybe the emperor did this to keep him safe, but she didn't think so. Up to now, the emperor is not a person with no influence. If he really wants to be a virtuous empress, what can a forced oath stop?In the final analysis, it was just that he was reluctant to part with his current position, and worried that if his power was greatly reduced by dealing with a Murong family, others would take advantage of the fisherman.

Being able to spoil someone for more than ten years, will there be no feeling at all?If he really had no feelings at all, how could a prince who was favored by an emperor still occupy the title of one of the top ten princes?The emperor said so, nothing more than to make peace of mind.It's not like Ling Jiaheng didn't think of this, he didn't tell the truth, and even made him think that all of this was true, but he just didn't want to face this reality. After all, the emperor respected his father for many years.

Seeing that he just smiled wryly and didn't say a word, he sighed, "It's hard to have both, if you really want to get what you want, you have to make a choice this time. It's a pity that others want your crown prince desperately. But you want to find ways to get rid of it, I really don’t know what you think!"

"Personal pursuits are different. The throne is a responsibility. It's too tiring, and I don't like to be too tired in my life." Ling Jiaheng accepted the disappointment before, and resumed his usual indifferent attitude. "You're right, I have to learn to choose, but just rejecting a marriage offer may not be enough to achieve my goal."

Mu Huaqi thought for a while, "That's true, but you don't have to worry about it. In two months, the Dust King's wedding will be held. Both Chen Wang and Mu Huaqi are well-known figures in Daling. There will be many others at that time." If the envoys from other countries come, before they get married, the emperor will definitely hold a big banquet to welcome the envoys from all over the world, so you should take advantage of that time to refuse in public. In short, the more face he loses, the higher your chances of success."

"Although it's not my wish to embarrass my father like this, it's still a good way. However, I can postpone my answer to my father for a while, but I have to find an opportunity to mention this matter at such a banquet. It's not easy."

Mu Huaqi raised her eyebrows and smiled slyly, "Just don't worry about it, since I thought of letting you do this at that time, I will find opportunities for you, but you have to promise me that if you successfully leave this position, you will be able to do so in the future." No matter what disputes arise in the Daling royal family, you are not allowed to intervene."

He helplessly shook his head and chuckled, "Early before I decided to do this, I made up my mind that I would not care about Da Ling's affairs. After the matter is completed, I will leave Da Ling, and maybe I will never come back in my whole life."

This, Mu Huaqi was a little surprised, "Where are you going?"

Ling Jiaheng stood up, walked to a pillar at the corner of the pavilion, leaned against the pillar, turned his head and smiled at her, dressed in a red dress lightly, and his appearance was already extraordinary, it looked quite pleasing to the eye this time, "I heard Fengcheng is a good place, where both dignitaries and ordinary people can live a prosperous life, maybe I will go there."

I couldn't help laughing, Fengcheng is really a good place, so if everyone who wants to live a peaceful life moves there, will Fengcheng not be able to live there in the future?
Staring at her smiling face, Ling Jiaheng asked in puzzlement, "What are you laughing at? Do you think my thoughts are bad?"

"That's not true. I once thought that if I get tired of this kind of life in the future, it would be nice to buy a Zhuangzi in Fengcheng and live my life in peace, but I didn't expect you to want to go there too."

"I never thought you would have such thoughts." The second daughter of Mu Hua's family, the future Princess Xiu, her identity is not as easy as he can lose.If he leaves, there are still so many princes left, any one of them can become the crown prince, but she is different, don't say that Mu Hua's family will not let her daughter who became Princess Xiu easily, that is, Prince Xiu himself. She was not allowed to leave easily.

Mu Huaqi knew what he was thinking, but she didn't explain much. "If you really go to Fengcheng, I will be able to play chess with one more person in the future. Don't worry, Fengcheng is indeed a good place, and you will be safe there."

Feng Mu has friendship with Xuan Huyi, she just needs to ask him to give Feng Mu a message, and Feng Mu will take care of Ling Jiaheng, a deputy head of Feng City, will he not be able to keep him in his own territory?

Ling Jiaheng wanted to ask her why she dared to say with such certainty that he would be safe there, but then she just smiled lightly, no matter what the reason was, Fengcheng is always a good place.

At this time, there was a noise from the fruit trees full of flowers. Ling Jiaheng showed a little displeasure on his face, and said to the guards outside the pavilion: "Didn't the prince say that no one should disturb you? Will there be noise?"

The guard responded, "Go back to Your Highness, this subordinate will go over and have a look."
