Xiao Conghui's face was solemn.

He thought about what would happen next. Although marrying the second princess to Beiliang would hurt Concubine Heng, it would also ruin the second princess's life, and he couldn't bear it.

When the second prince and the second princess ask him for help, can he just sit back and do nothing?

After all, they are siblings. Although the royal family has weak affection, he still hopes that brothers will be friendly and respectful to each other. If there is no fight for the throne, he will take good care of his younger brothers and sisters.

Sometimes he thought, it wouldn't be bad if he was born in a small family...

Concubine Xue had already drunk several cups of tea, but seeing that Xiao Conghui showed no intention of leaving.

However, she now had a special personal matter to deal with and could hardly hold back.

She couldn't just chase him away, so she had to silently tell herself to be patient, just be patient!

After a long moment, Xiao Conghui raised his eyes and asked, "Will this poison harm the body?"

Concubine Xue nodded. Nonsense, it's the body that's hurt! If it's not relieved for a long time, it will die from the loss of qi and blood.

"Can it be brought back to life?" Xiao Conghui asked again.

Concubine Xue pondered Xiao Conghui's words. What was he going to do?

She had no children in her life and did not want to get involved in the palace struggles. She only did something when she had no choice. She usually stayed in her own courtyard and got along well with the concubines in the harem.

So she was not familiar with Xiao Conghui, and they had not met many times.

"If the poisoning is short-lived and you take good care of yourself after it's over, there will be no problem. You'll just suffer a little," explained Concubine Xue.

Her feelings became more obvious, and now she just wanted Xiao Conghui to leave quickly, so she answered whatever he asked and stopped playing Tai Chi.

Xiao Conghui looked outside, pondered for a moment, stood up, and said with a bow, "I want to ask the concubine for a favor."

"You tell me, as long as I can do it," said Concubine Xue.

Xiao Conghui was a little surprised. Was Concubine Xue so easy to talk to? She hadn't been so forthcoming when he first arrived. How could she have changed so much in just a short while?

Whatever, as long as she helps.

Xiao Conghui, "I want the Second Prince to try this Gu as well."

"Okay, no problem," replied Concubine Xue.

What?

What did he just say?

Suddenly, she realized that she wanted the second prince to try the poisonous insect?

"Poison is forbidden in the palace," Concubine Xue said word by word, her voice quite gentle.

What I mean is, I take back what I just said.

Isn't this meant to harm her? If Xiao Hanyi knew about this, it would be disastrous. She was already out of favor during the reign of the previous emperor, and now she has no support at all.

Killing one to warn the hundred, she being the "one" was really suitable and cost-effective for Xiao Hanyi.

Xiao Conghui smiled faintly, "Afterwards, you fake your death, and from then on, the world will be vast and the sky will be high and the sea will be wide, and there will no longer be Concubine Xue in this world."

Whether there is Concubine Xue in the palace or not has little impact on him, the entire Southern Liang, or even the entire world.

However, it is necessary to let the Second Prince personally experience the state of Concubine Heng after being poisoned. If Concubine Heng deliberately assassinates Queen Wang, he will have nothing to say at that time.

Even if the second princess is not allowed to marry the prince of Beiliang, Concubine Heng will have to suffer a little.

Concubine Xue thought seriously. The temptation was too great. She stared at Xiao Conghui in a daze, "Why are you willing to help me?"

Xiao Conghui sat back in his seat, picked up the teacup and took a sip before he said slowly, "Doesn't the Concubine trust me?"

He paused and looked at the Toffee, "Do you dare to take a gamble? If you lose, you die. If you win..."

Concubine Xue seemed to have held back her urge to urinate. She frowned. If she won, they would live together in anonymity. If God had mercy on her, she might even give birth to a child with him.

Although she is a concubine, she is only in her early thirties this year. If she can really escape from the palace...

Thinking of the well-behaved child pulling her skirt and calling her mother, Concubine Xue's eyes lit up and became filled with anticipation. That would be truly wonderful.

Finally, one word came out of Concubine Xue's mouth, "Okay!"

Xiao Conghui, "Shouldn't the Concubine tell me who is behind this?"

Concubine Xue was stunned. She should have thought that Xiao Conghui would definitely ask this question.

However, Concubine Xue was not sure whether this person was trustworthy.

"He wants to marry the second princess, and Concubine Heng will naturally stop him, so she asks you to get rid of her in advance... He also wants to be the crown prince..." Xiao Conghui said slowly.

Concubine Xue was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. This Xiao Conghui was a little scary. She couldn't make an enemy of this person, Concubine Xue thought.

…

On the second day, an imperial decree was issued from the Weiyang Palace, announcing that the two princes would be married on May 26th.

As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the Imperial Household Department and the Ministry of Rites all became busy. With such a tight schedule, they would definitely not be able to make it in time according to the previous procedures. The Ministry of Rites looked through the records and found the procedure for the wedding of a prince during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, and the schedule was almost as tight as this time.

Since there was a precedent to follow, the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department drafted the entire process and presented it to Xiao Hanyi at noon.

Xiao Hanyi just glanced at the eunuch's hand and nodded in agreement.

He doesn't care about such trivial matters.

As soon as Xiao Conghui gets married, he will take Liu Qian to Jiangnan to collect taxes. Xiao Jiayun has said several times that Liu Qian will definitely be able to collect the taxes.

Xiao Hanyi had a lot of thoughts in mind when he agreed to his two sons' hasty wedding.

Lately he has been feeling tired for no reason. Alas, since he became the emperor, he has never relaxed for a single day.

Ever since he came back from hunting, he always dreamed of Chun'er. Sometimes she would play jokes with him in an innocent manner, and sometimes she would turn into that ghostly figure and cry...

He sent people to search the entire paddock, but still couldn't find the figure.

There are only 1.8 million taels of silver in the national treasury. The prince's wedding cannot be too shabby, and he also has to receive envoys from Northern Liang. The monthly salaries of officials in the capital city can't be paid!

He whispered to the swaddled Xiao Jiayun, "Your two brothers are getting married on the same day. Daddy will take you to the wedding."

[Okay, okay, I can leave the palace now, that’s great]

[Should we go to the eldest brother's house or the second brother's house? ]

[I like the eldest brother, so I'll go to his house. But I also like the second brother, so I'm in a dilemma.]

Xiao Hanyi frowned. How could he have forgotten about this? As usual, he and the queen had to attend the prince's wedding, but two princes were getting married on the same day. What should he do?

He wanted to go to the Second Prince. He loved this child from the bottom of his heart, and seeing him get married was also the wish of an old father.

However, although she liked the second prince, she still had high hopes for Xiao Conghui.

One enjoys family happiness, and the other shoulders the royal responsibilities. He is quite satisfied with his two sons. Now he thinks that having fewer princes is not a bad thing. One smart one is enough.

Xiao Hanyi thought of the thirteen princes of Northern Liang, all of whom were either dragons or tigers. The emperor there probably didn't have an easy life like him...

"Hahahaha", thinking about the Emperor of Beiliang worrying about the issue of appointing a crown prince, and then looking at Xiao Jiayun's appearance, he couldn't help laughing.

After hearing this, Xiao Jiayun became suspicious.

【Daddy, what are you grinning about?】
