When Xie Yingmian transmigrated to become Prince Ling's joy-bringing consort, Prince Ling had only one breath left.
She was being held by the wet nurses, forced to drink poisoned wine as ...
Chapter 225: Obviously, she lost
The Second Prince said dimly, "She came back to seek revenge."
"She specifically hung the prince's head at the gate of the palace in order to sow discord between the prince and the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion and turn us into enemies."
Wu Anbo was sweating profusely: "Is there really a ghost?"
"She turned into a ghost and came here for revenge?"
The Second Prince said, "She is not a ghost. She is still human. She is not dead."
"This prince has received accurate information. She got the opportunity by accident, but she is still human after all. She does not have any magical powers. Otherwise, she would not attack only the prince."
Wu Anbo thought about it and agreed with this.
If Wen Zhiqing was really that powerful, he should have killed the second prince last night.
What the Second Prince did to Wen Zhiqing was much more excessive than what they did to their father and son.
Wen Zhiqing failed to kill the second prince, it must be because the second prince's mansion was heavily guarded.
Next, he just needs to hire a few more experts to protect him.
Thinking of this, Wu Anbo breathed a sigh of relief.
The Second Prince looked at Wu Anbo's expression and knew that he had listened to him. He then began to persuade him gently, "The Crown Prince's death is too suspicious. If the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court get involved and find out that Wen Zhiqing is the murderer, many things will be exposed."
"If the scandal gets out, it won't be a good thing for the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion. The dead are dead, and some things still need to be looked forward to."
Wu Anbo had calmed down. "What do you think, Second Prince?"
The Second Prince said, "Announce to the public that the Crown Prince died suddenly of an acute illness, and do not let the Ministry of Justice get involved."
Wu Anbo frowned.
If he doesn't let the Ministry of Justice get involved, wouldn't his son's death be in vain?
The second prince said, "I have a sister named Yunxiang. Yunxiang has admired Earl Wu'an for a long time. If Earl Wu'an is willing, I will marry my sister to you."
"This prince knows a miraculous doctor who once gave him a secret medicine. If he takes it, he will easily conceive. If Wu Anbo is willing to marry Yunxiang, I, as her brother, will give him the secret medicine. Wu Anbo is still young, so he still has time to give birth to another prince."
Wu Anbo knew Yunxiang.
The woman Yunxiang often appears beside the second prince.
That figure, that face, those eyes...
He became furious when he thought of Yunxiang's charming appearance.
The second prince gave him such a beauty, and she could even give birth to a son for him!
Wu Anbo was very tempted.
He was not restrained in his early years and played too much, which led to his asthenospermia.
After taking medicine for a long time, she finally gave birth to a legitimate son.
This legitimate son is a eunuch, so it is useless even if he inherits the title.
There are some illegitimate sons and daughters.
But he married a tigress who was vicious and jealous. Most of his illegitimate sons died or became disabled, but many of his illegitimate daughters survived and were all married off.
It would be best if I could have another one!
With that secret medicine, maybe I can have three or even four children.
The more Wu Anbo thought about it, the more excited he became: "How could I be so worthy as to win Miss Yunxiang's heart?"
"Since Miss Yunxiang has fallen in love with me, I will respectfully obey your order."
The Second Prince said, "Since you are in love with me, I will make this a reality."
"Yunxiang is my adopted sister. I hope Earl Wu An will not let her suffer any injustice."
Wu Anbo hurriedly said, "Of course."
"However, my first wife is still alive. She has an imperial decree, so I cannot divorce her."
"I can only grant Miss Yunxiang the status of concubine for now."
The Second Prince said, "In that case, I would like to congratulate Earl Wu An first."
"Don't worry, Earl Wu An. I have already sent people to capture Wen Zhiqing. As long as Wen Zhiqing is still hiding in Shangjing, I will be able to catch her. I won't let Earl Wu An have any worries."
The nearest auspicious day is the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month.
The Wu'an Earl's Mansion did not report the case, nor did it hold a funeral. The mansion was decorated with lights and was full of joy.
…
Prince Ling's Mansion.
Fu Mo described it vividly to everyone: "The Second Prince was clearly furious when he first saw the head, but when he saw the blood letter, he suddenly burst into laughter and said something incomprehensible."
"Then we went to the backyard."
"His backyard was heavily guarded and filled with experts. Our people didn't go in for fear of alerting the enemy. We don't know what happened inside."
"Later, the Second Prince went to the Wu'an Marquis's residence. Not only did the old man not report it to the authorities, he even hung up big red lanterns, making it clear that he was planning a wedding."
"I inquired a little and heard that old man Wu Anbo is going to marry the second prince's adopted sister."
"I've never heard that the Second Prince has a sister, and he married her to an old man. I don't know what the Second Prince is thinking."
After hearing this, Xie Yingmian sighed deeply, "I lost."
It was Yu Lingye's idea to hang the head of the Prince of Wu'an at the gate of the Second Prince's mansion.
This move is a desperate move. If not handled properly, Wen Juexia will face pursuit from the Ministry of Justice, the Wu'an Earl's Mansion, and the Second Prince.
She felt it was unreliable at the time.
Yu Lingye made a bet with her.
Obviously, she lost.
"Do you know the second prince's sister?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Yu Lingye said indifferently, "He doesn't have any adopted sisters."
"No?"
"It was probably a temporary recognition." Yu Lingye said.
Fu Mo clapped his hands heavily. "Your Highness is amazing. We have already found out that the woman who is going to marry that old man Wu Anbo is called Yunxiang. Yunxiang is not the Second Prince's sister at all. She is a plaything kept in his house."
"The Second Prince loves beauties. He bought many young and beautiful women, and he would replace them all every two years. To the Second Prince, those beauties were no more than objects."
"This Miss Yunxiang is an exception. She is the only one who has been in the Second Prince's residence for more than five years."
"After the death of the Wu'an Earl, the Second Prince recognized Yunxiang as his adopted sister and arranged for her to marry Wu'an Earl as his concubine."
"Miss Yunxiang is a beauty of heaven. As soon as Wu Anbo heard her name, he was completely captivated. He even neglected his own son's funeral and is now arranging the wedding."
Xie Yingmian narrowed his eyes.
She felt that things were not that simple.
The fact that the prince of Wu'an was a eunuch was something that the Wu'an Earl and his wife should have known for a long time.
Eunuchs are infertile, but the Wu Anbo couple had no more children and very few illegitimate sons.
In particular, there are almost no illegitimate sons and daughters younger than the Crown Prince Wu'an, which shows that the Crown Prince Wu'an is in poor health and cannot have children.
The Second Prince specially adopted a sister and placed her in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion. It was definitely not as simple as using a beauty to silence Marquis of Wu'an.
"That woman named Yunxiang is not simple." Xie Yingmian said, "Can we find someone to keep an eye on her?"
Yu Lingye said, "You suspect the Second Prince wants to take control of the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion."
Xie Yingmian: "No, I suspect Yunxiang wants to take control of the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion."
Fu Mo smiled and said, "Princess, Yunxiang is just a toy to the Second Prince. She doesn't have that much ability."
Xie Yingmian was speechless.
On the surface, Yunxiang is just a plaything, a gift from the second prince to Wu Anbo.
However, the woman's intuition told her that Yunxiang might be the biggest winner in this matter.
"What are you going to do?" Yu Lingye asked.
