The Emperor's Son-in-Law

Chapter 75 The real culprit of the poisoning is in Sifang Pavilion

The emperor frowned.

He only thought that Duan Chun could help him solve this problem.

But he didn't expect that the identity of his most trusted general Duan Ning...

Duan Ning was his sworn brother before he ascended the throne.

He was also a trusted general in the entire Dakang Empire, who he could not even trust his own son.

But he could fully trust!

"Your Majesty, I think the prince of Changguo is the most suitable to replace the prince to marry Beixia."

"And your majesty can't find other suitable princes now."

"Duan Chun can marry two princesses at the same time, I'm afraid old Duan will laugh in his dreams."

Seeing that your majesty was a little hesitant, Wu Guogong quickly clasped his fists and smiled.

"Your majesty, you see."

"My guess is right, even Wu Guogong thinks that my marriage with Beixia is very good."

"I dare not say more."

Duan Chun frowned and said.

He was worried that he couldn't find a reason to continue to shirk.

Unexpectedly, Wu Guogong was anxious.

Since he had spoken, Duan Chun would not be polite to him.

Who among the military generals of the older generation in the court did not know the hatred between my father and Duke Wu?

"What do you mean, junior?"

Duke Wu frowned and shouted.

"What do you mean, junior?"

"Duke Wu should know better than anyone else!"

Duan Chun immediately counterattacked.

"Okay, shut up!"

The emperor frowned, and Duke Wu's suggestion plus Duan Chun's counterattack.

He immediately understood the key.

If the Princess of Beixia was given to Duan Chun, then Old Duan would be in trouble!

"Duan Chun is not okay."

"You think of another candidate for me."

The emperor pondered.

"This..."

The three dukes all stood there, unable to think of any other suitable candidates.

"Your Majesty, I have an idea."

Duan Chun clasped his fists.

"Tell me, what else do you think of?"

The emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, the Princess of Beixia has quietly come to the capital of Dakang."

"There was no prior information."

"Your Majesty is now thinking about how to respond to the letter from Beixia."

"But you never thought that our Dakang decided to use the prince of the state to replace the royal family for marriage."

"Will Beixia agree?"

Duan Chun said.

"I don't care whether they agree or not."

"In my capital of Dakang, I have the final say."

"Bring the princess here secretly, and I can marry her to the prince of the state."

"I have already given them enough face!"

The emperor said disdainfully.

"So I think they submitted a letter to ask for a marriage."

"Your Majesty refused the royal marriage and took the opportunity to introduce a prince of the state."

"It depends on whether they agree or not."

"I will soon get a marriage from your Majesty, so I can't worry about this matter for your Majesty."

"But among the princes of the state, there should be someone who has not been granted a marriage."

"Maybe there is one among the guests of Jing'an Palace tonight."

"Your Majesty can find out by just checking."

Duan Chun reminded with a smile.

"Is there anyone who has not been granted a marriage?"

"Gao Fu, check the list of tonight's names for me immediately."

The emperor said.

"Yes."

Li Gaofu quickly picked up a list from the copybook on the side.

He quickly flipped through it...

"Your Majesty, among the distinguished guests who came to Jing'an Palace for the banquet tonight."

"There is only one unmarried prince of the state."

"It is Wei An, the newly appointed prince of the Duke of Ping."

Li Gaofu's voice came quickly.

"Prince of the Duke of Ping..."

The emperor was speechless when he heard it.

He had a headache when he heard the name.

Duke Ping was a famous general of Dakang, who led troops to fight all over the country all his life.

The emperor, thinking of his outstanding achievements, granted his eldest daughter, Princess Liyang, to marry the prince of Duke Ping.

But he didn't expect that the boy would have a short life.

He was training troops at the border and occasionally found a group of Beixia cavalry.

He only needed to drive them out of the country, but the boy was eager for success.

He chased the enemy all the way out of the border and was besieged by the Beixia army.

He died at the border before he was 18 years old, and his merits had to be commended internally.

Originally, this marriage was invalidated.

But the old boy, Duke Ping, still wanted his second son to continue this marriage.

The emperor was ready to continue the marriage, but Liyang refused to agree.

So this marriage has been delayed for two years due to the constant entanglement between the two sides.

"Your Majesty, now that we have a candidate."

"You can use him to deal with Beixia's letter."

Duan Chun smiled secretly in his heart.

He had planned to find an opportunity to check the situation of the Prince of Pingguo in a few days.

It can also be regarded as fulfilling his promise to Princess Liyang.

I didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.

"But Old Wei is still pestering me about Liyang's marriage."

"This... is it just Wei An?"

The emperor asked.

"Reporting to your majesty, the princes of all the dukes."

"At present, only the prince of Changguo and the prince of Pingguo are still unmarried."

Li Gaofu replied.

"Three dukes, what do you think?"

The emperor looked at the three dukes.

"Your humble servants are waiting for your majesty's holy judgment."

The three dukes bowed and saluted in unison.

"Okay, then summon the prince of Pingguo to meet with the emperor."

"Duan Chun, you go to receive the Beixia delegation."

"See if there is a Beixia princess hiding among them."

The emperor said helplessly.

"According to the order!"

Duan Chun clasped his fists in salute and ran out of the hall as if running away.

Let me tell you, His Majesty the Emperor has too many things on his mind.

All he felt was a wet patch on his back.

But fortunately, I didn't let myself suffer.

Quickly leaving the backyard, Duan Chun answered the five palace squares in front of him.

Looking at the tall Jing'an Palace, he walked up the steps and hadn't gone far.

Then he was stopped by a red-robed chamberlain coming from the steps.

"My slave, I pay my respects to the young master."

The red-robed servant lowered his head and saluted.

"Shao Jian, why are you here?"

Duan Chun took a look and saw that it was Xiao Wangshan...

"Reporting to the young master, I have something important to report to the young master."

Xiao Wangshan stretched out his hand and pulled Duan Chun to the side of the steps.

"Young Master, this servant will follow your instructions."

"Follow the poisoned maid secretly and keep an eye on her every move."

"It was shocking to find that the poisoned maid and another waiter were in contact with each other."

"The servant's men have quietly followed the waiter."

"I found that the waiter actually slipped into the Sifang Pavilion of Honglu Temple."

Xiao Wangshan said softly.

"The Sifang Pavilion of Honglu Temple?"

"Isn't that a post house for receiving foreign guests?"

Duan Chun asked.

Sifang Pavilion is the ancient name of the National Post Pavilion.

In ancient times, it was a residence for envoys from neighboring tribes and neighboring countries.

It belongs to the national post house under Honglu Temple.

Sifang Pavilion was originally called Siyi Pavilion, and earlier it was called Manyi Pavilion.

"Yes, my subordinates have not yet sent back the latest news."

"But it has been confirmed that the poisoned maid is Bei Xia's spy."

"She just passed the situation of the Jiaofang Division to her master through the intermediary contact person."

"The only person who lives in Sifangguan and wants to poison Jiaofangsi can only be the Northern Xia Mission."

"Now this slave is waiting for the young master's order. Do you want to go into the Sifang Pavilion to get someone?"

Xiao Wangshan asked.
