Madam Ruan took the opportunity to say, "Ningxiang cannot marry to the North. My master has fainted from anger. If the emperor can give Ningyun a higher rank, I think it will make my master feel better."
Chu Younan looked at Queen Mother Yao, only to see that she also looked troubled.
As royal relatives, the Ruan family did not do anything excessive, and it was not too much for their daughter to be the queen. But Chu Younan really looked down on Ruan Ningyun. Thinking back to that night, if Su Bei had not been so determined, she would have had a difficult birth.
"I can still investigate Ningxiang's matter further."
Madam Ruan swallowed the words in her throat. Ruan Ningxiang was violated by several people last night. It would be much easier to investigate her than to promote Ruan Ningyun to the position of concubine.
But her eldest nephew is the emperor now, so she can’t speak carelessly.
Mrs. Ruan thought that Chu Younan was going to send someone to ask Ruan Ningxiang something, but she didn't expect that he didn't move at all, as if he had forgotten about it.
Of course, Chu Younan didn't dare to forget. It wasn't because he was afraid of Madam Ruan, but because he was afraid of Queen Mother Yao's nagging.
Perhaps because she has too much free time, Empress Dowager Yao now thinks about the people in her family all day long.
She had a good relationship with her brothers since she was young. They did not take advantage of her over the years and although they did not give her much help, they also cared about her and brought her some warmth in the lonely palace.
So after Madam Ruan left, Empress Dowager Yao repeatedly reminded him not to forget to deal with Ruan Ningxiang's matter.
In fact, Queen Mother Yao also knew that Ruan Ningyun's matter was easier to deal with, but what happened that night was really too much. She was just a concubine and yet she was so jealous. If she was really given a higher position, I'm afraid she would harm many concubines in the future.
That’s right, Queen Mother Yao felt that Chu Younan would get tired of Su Bei one day, and it would only be a matter of time before a talent show took place.
But seeing that they had both sons and daughters and a happy couple, she always felt that the Cining Palace was cold and lonely. Even if there was a little eunuch who could read to her, it would be great...
Chu Younan did not send anyone to inquire or search, but just made an appointment with Bei Yanming.
Bei Yanming suddenly changed sides and captured Mo Gaishi, thinking that he could do it without anyone knowing, but Chu Younan knew what he had done.
Although the North is not as powerful as it used to be, it is still a strong rival of Ukraine. It would be best if we could maintain friendly diplomatic relations.
Bei Yanming did not come alone today, he came with Bei Danzhu.
Only then did Chu Younan know Bei Danzhu's true identity. Because she could read minds, he became more cautious.
"The emperor has eliminated a great disaster this time!" Bei Yanming came up with official courtesy.
"Then I have to thank Emperor Ming." Chu Younan also smiled with a forced smile.
Bei Danzhu and Bei Yanming exchanged glances, seemingly telling him that Chu Younan was right.
Bei Yanming said with a look of regret: "I heard that Princess Anbang was abducted. It is really unfortunate. It seems that the marriage between Wu Kingdom and Beidi will be cancelled."
"What a pity." Chu Younan remained calm, even though he heard Bei Yanming secretly rejoicing in his heart.
But Bei Yanming did not give up, but looked at Bei Danzhu, "In order to maintain the diplomatic relations between Beidi and Wuguo, I decided to marry my most beloved youngest daughter to the emperor."
Chu Younan chuckled, "Is it possible that the Dark Emperor has forgotten about the Queen's niece?"
Having Ruan Ningyun was troublesome enough, and if he married a princess from the north, he was afraid that Su Bei would pack his luggage overnight.
When Bei Danzhu heard this thought, it was believed that Chu Younan was henpecked.
"Although the Queen is jealous, Danzhu will not compete with her and will definitely get along well with her." Bei Danzhu pretended to be naive.
Chu Younan raised the corners of his lips slightly, "The princess is beautiful and innocent. If she were my daughter, I would definitely give her a fiefdom in the future and let her find a husband of her choice. I would never let her into the harem to engage in intrigue."
As soon as these words came out, Bei Yanming and Bei Danzhu fell silent.
Bei Danzhu knew from a young age that she was a pawn of her father, and she has always used her mind-reading ability to please Bei Yanming. Marrying the person she loves is something she only dares to think about secretly late at night.
After a moment of silence, Bei Yanming spoke again, "Then we can only ask the emperor to withdraw his decision on this marriage."
This is the most important thing for Bei Yanming to see Chu Younan.
He didn't want to marry that ugly woman, and she was the one he had raped! Chu Younan said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid this won't work."
Bei Yanming's eyes widened, "Why? She was clearly raped by someone. I heard that people in the Central Plains value chastity the most. Shouldn't this engagement be cancelled?"
"People in the Central Plains value chastity the most, but people in the North don't seem to care much." Chu Younan looked directly at Bei Yanming, "Otherwise, the Underworld Emperor wouldn't have sent people to kidnap Princess Anbang."
Even though Bei Yanming was knowledgeable and experienced, he had never seen Chu Younan speak so directly.
The key point is that he has no idea how Chu Younan knew this secret.
After a moment of silence, Bei Yanming said, "Why does the emperor say that? How could I send someone to kidnap her?"
"Then you'll have to ask the Hades himself." Chu Younan remained calm.
Bei Danzhu didn't even notice when Chu Younan knew about it. She was trying hard to listen to Chu Younan's thoughts, but it seemed that she didn't hear anything valuable.
Of course she couldn't hear it, Chu Younan's skills were much stronger than hers.
The meeting ended unpleasantly, but the engagement was not cancelled, which made Bei Yanming very unhappy.
But even though it was not fast, he still took Bei Danzhu for a stroll on the street for a long time and bought her a lot of jewelry.
Speaking of jewelry shops on the street, Bei Danzhu's favorite is the Nanbei Jewelry Store. The styles there are different from those elsewhere, and she has never seen them in the north or the capital.
Bei Danzhu was very happy after buying a lot of jewelry she liked.
Seeing that his little daughter was in a good mood, Bei Yanming's mood also improved a lot.
But as soon as they returned to the yard, Bei Yanming's mood no longer improved.
The people who kidnapped Ruan Ningxiang that day were led by his most trusted attendant. This man felt a little unwell today, so he was not brought into the palace.
When he came back, he found that his servant was missing.
Bei Yanming didn't know whether she was taken away by Chu Younan or some other accident happened, but because he felt guilty, he could not go to the palace again to find Chu Younan and ask for the cancellation of the engagement.
"Don't worry, father. Even if we marry that woman and bring her back to the North, the worst that can happen is that we just ignore her. Wait for a year or two, and then find a way to deal with her." Bei Danzhu had a gloomy expression when he said this.
Bei Yanming was relieved. Yes, arranging a remote place for Ruan Ningxiang to live, and not seeing her is no big deal.
"Don't worry, father. I have arranged people to be by the side of the Emperor of Wu." Bei Danzhu chuckled.
Although she is young, she is very proficient in the ways of the harem.
"Oh? You also placed people next to Chu Younan?" Bei Yanming asked in surprise.
Bei Danzhu did not answer, but said: "Send someone to send a letter to the palace. I want to see Ruan Ningyun."
