Chapter 292 It turns out that the grandmother likes her to be her granddaughter-in-law

"Mother!"

Xie Xiang screamed and quickly let go of Wen Xingluo to check on Concubine Zhang's injuries.

The person who came was Wei Si.

Wei Si nervously examined Wen Xingluo's body, "Is Ningning injured anywhere?"

Wen Xingluo's hair was loose and there were a few scratches on her neck.

Although she was injured, Concubine Zhang and her daughter were not in much better condition. They were both disheveled and had many wounds from her scratches. She also had several strands of hair pulled out.

Wen Xingluo threw herself into Wei Si's arms with red eyes, "Mom, they grabbed me, twisted me, and scratched me!"

Concubine Zhang covered her face and was about to curse at Wei Si, but when she saw Xie Zhe looking at her, she quickly knelt on the ground.

She cried, "There's no law in this palace! How dare a mere concubine assault the Imperial Concubine! Please, Your Majesty, help me!"

Xie Zhe's face didn't look good, and the two dark circles under his eyes were very obvious.

He didn't sleep much last night. He finally took a short nap at dawn, but he dreamed that wolves were staring at him, which made him unable to sleep well.

I wanted to go back to the palace as soon as possible to find someone to interpret my dream, but I heard Concubine Zhang chattering non-stop.

She was just a lowly plaything. After all these years of being given a high position, she had forgotten her identity.

He said coldly, "Why did Si Si hit you but not the Queen? You should also reflect on yourself."

Concubine Zhang was stunned.

What kind of words are these?!

Seeing his mother being wronged, Xie Xiang immediately said, "Father, I want to expose Wei Ning's shamelessness and his debauchery in the harem! The adulterer is none other than Xie Guanlan, the crown prince of the Zhenbei Palace! I beg you to punish them!"

She really couldn't find any evidence that Wen Xingluo had killed A'di.

But it doesn’t matter, she will make Wen Xingluo pay the price in other ways!

Xie Zhe glanced at Wen Xingluo with an unfriendly look.

He rubbed the rhino horn in his hand repeatedly, his eyes cold and ruthless, with a bit of sinister calculation, which reminded Wen Xingluo of the butchers in the vegetable market who were waiting for the price to sell cattle and sheep.

He asked, "Wei Ning, is this true?"

Wen Xingluo said calmly, "Yes."

Concubine Zhang and Xie Xiang didn't expect her to admit it so readily, and they couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

Concubine Zhang suppressed her joy, revealing a look of disappointment. "Sister Chen Fei, you too, it's fine you were secretly in love with His Majesty, but why did you teach your daughter the same? You're shameless yourself, and you've taught your daughter to be just as shameless! The saying that if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked is absolutely true!"

These words caused the expressions of the people around to change.

It would have been fine if she had just scolded Wei Si, but she also said something about "secret collusion". Wasn't this scolding His Majesty as well?

Sure enough, Xie Zhe's face turned even worse.

Wei Si comforted the girl in her arms and said slowly, "Your Highness, you may not know that Ningning and Master Xie's marriage has been clearly arranged."

She took out a marriage certificate in public.

The marriage certificate was unfolded, with gold characters on a red background, clearly stating the engagement of Wen Xingluo and Xie Guanlan as well as the signatures and fingerprints of the two families' elders.

Wen Xingluo was stunned.

She stared closely at Wei Si and her grandmother's handprints, and asked in disbelief, "Mother?"

Wei Si handed her the marriage certificate and gently touched her face. "I used to live a muddled life and never did anything for you... But Ningning, I really want to be a good mother, just like my mother. This marriage certificate is a gift I want to give you."

Wen Xingluo holds the marriage certificate.

She gently stroked her name and Xie Guanlan's name, then looked at the names of her mother and grandmother, and her nose gradually became sore.

It turned out that her mother was very supportive of her being with Xie Guanlan.

It turned out that her grandmother also wanted her to become the granddaughter-in-law of the Zhenbei Palace.

She hugged Wei Si tightly, her tears wetting her shoulders.

Concubine Zhang and Xie Xiang were stunned on the spot.

The mother and daughter had planned everything, but they never expected that Wen Xingluo and Xie Guanlan actually had a marriage certificate!

Concubine Zhang was still unconvinced. "Even...even if there is a marriage certificate, we haven't even gotten married yet. How could you do such a thing?! Your Majesty, in my opinion, you should put Wei Ning in solitary confinement and let me personally teach her the rules!"

Xie Zhe stared at the marriage certificate.

Wei Ning is Xie Guanlan's fiancée.

His gaze fell on Wen Xingluo again, but with a bit more amusement.

It seemed that he could use this little girl to control Xie Guanlan.

He said slowly, "When the Imperial Concubine climbed onto my bed, not only was she nameless and without status, she was also Si Si's maid. If you can do it, why can't others? Imperial Concubine, you have forgotten your roots."

Concubine Zhang's cheeks turned blue.

She looked at Xie Zhe in disbelief, having never expected that he would expose her shortcomings in public!

Her face gradually turned red, but she didn't know how to answer, so she could only lower her head in shame.

Not far away.

Pei Lin looked at the bright red marriage certificate coldly.

The boy's hand holding the whisk tightened unconsciously, and his knuckles almost turned red from the force.

Wen Yueyin angrily said, "Even if she has a marriage certificate, she absolutely cannot marry Xie Guanlan! She can't marry better than me! Eunuch Pei, you must ruin this marriage!"

Pei Lin seemed to have a plan in mind, and said expressionlessly, "I don't need you to teach me how to do things."

Wen Yueyin pursed her lips, then thought of something and asked tentatively, "Actually, there's one thing I've never understood. Why did Eunuch Pei choose me over my younger sister? Is it because you think I'm smarter and prettier than my younger sister? Do you recognize my ability to manipulate the world and win battles from afar?"

Wen Yueyin, masterminding the strategy, turning the hand to make clouds and the hand to make rain...

Pei Lin glanced at her silently, said nothing, and walked away.

"What do you mean?"

Wen Yueyin stamped her feet.

However, no matter what, Pei Dajian must value her.

Now that Ji Yu is dead, the King of Hexi will definitely rebel.

Restoration of the nation is just around the corner!

She did something that Wen Xingluo could never do!

She went joyfully to the carriage.

After returning to Mingzhu Palace, Wen Xingluo sat alone in the bedroom, repeatedly looking through the marriage certificate.

I stroked each word with my fingertips, but was afraid that the ink would fade.

This is her marriage certificate with Xie Guanlan...

It was unknown how long it had been before she carefully put away the marriage certificate and hid it treasuredly deep in her dressing box.

It was just approaching dusk, and the sky outside the window was already dark, as if a storm was about to come.

She walked to the window.

The sky was dark and leaden, and a strong wind swept through the palace. Withered petals and leaves were blown off the branches, and soon moist and cool raindrops were caught in the wind.

It's raining.

The girl looked at the raindrops in her palm.

I don't know what he is doing at the moment...

At this moment, in the palace where Xie Guanlan was staying, Yishui quietly brought in a bunch of medicinal herbs.

He handed the herbs to Xie Yanchen and said, "Second Young Master, do you think these are enough?"

"That should be enough." Xie Yanchen fiddled with a piece of leather intently. "Just leave it there."

Xie Shian's arm was still in a sling, but he was completely busy. "Brother, what is Second Brother going to do?"

"Making a human skin mask." Xie Guanlan replied.

His plan was simple: he had eleven protons wear human skin masks, disguise themselves as his followers, and follow him out of Beijing.

The eleven followers who stayed behind put on human skin masks and disguised themselves as protons, replacing them and staying in the capital.

The protons are not under surveillance all the time; they can move around the entire capital.

When no one cares, they can take off their masks and return to Shu County as ordinary people.

As they were talking, Fushan came in from outside, "Master, Sun Zuosi is here, saying that His Majesty has summoned you to the Imperial Study to speak... It seems to be related to the princess's engagement."
