Everyone knew that Emperor Jing of Wei had staged this incident in order to confer a marquis title on Fan Heng, but they could only pretend not to know.
Fan Heng and the Lian family are distant cousins. Emperor Jing of Wei specially granted the Wuling Marquisate to be adjacent to the Lian family. Anyone with eyes can see that although the Lian family has not entered the officialdom again, with Fan Heng around, they have been able to make a comeback.
Moreover, if Lian Shizhao returned safely from Western Xia, Emperor Jing of Wei would take the opportunity to employ him again on the grounds that he had made great contributions during his mission to Western Xia.
But man proposes, God disposes. No one expected that Lian Shizhao would return from Xixia alive, but he became a disabled person. Except for his eyeballs, nothing on his body could move.
Seeing Lian Shizhao's condition, Master Lian and Madam Lian fainted immediately. After they woke up, they went to the palace with Fan Heng to meet the emperor, hoping that Emperor Jing of Wei would become the heir.
But there were so many envoys traveling with him, and what's more, there was also Tan Yanxi, who was trusted by Emperor Jing of Wei, who testified that Lian Shizhao was injured when he accidentally fell off his horse while hunting, and it had nothing to do with others.
Despite this, the Lian family and Fan Heng continued to press forward, and in the end, it was the document written in advance by Feng Zhuohua that sealed the seal of Western Xia that worked.
If Emperor Jing of Wei implicated the envoys on this mission to Western Xia because of Lian Shizhao's affair, it would mean that he was dissatisfied with Western Xia. Emperor Jing of Wei did not have the courage to provoke Western Xia.
No matter how unwilling the Lian family was, they could no longer mention Lian Shizhao's affairs. In the end, Emperor Jing of Wei could only reward him with more gold, silver and jewelry to show his favor, but what was the point of more rewards when the person had become like that?
"What's the current situation of the Lian family?" Su Chenyu asked again.
Madam Xu replied, "The Lian family has not given up yet. They have been looking for doctors for Lian Shizhao. But even Hua Tuo would be helpless if he were in such a bad condition. However, Lord Rui'an has a son. The Lian family has a successor and the family line has not been cut off."
Hearing about the birth of the child, Su Chenyu's eyes flashed with a smile. Su Ruian was really brave enough to give birth to this "son". "Lian Shizhao got into trouble this time when he followed Yan Qing and I on a diplomatic mission to Xixia. Now that we are back, we should also pay him a visit. Send a letter to the Lian family today, saying that this prince and his wife will go to the Lian Mansion after they go to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow."
"yes."
"By the way, remember to prepare another generous gift to congratulate Lian Shizhao on the birth of his son."
"Yes." Aunt Xu continued, "My dear husband, you have been traveling a long way. Please take a bath and rest first. I have asked the kitchen to prepare some snacks for you to digest. You can have some later."
Listening to Aunt Xu's patient instructions, Su Chenyu finally felt the reality of returning home.
At this moment in the palace, the Imperial Noble Consort walked outside the Guangming Hall. Cai Quan saw the Imperial Noble Consort coming and immediately went forward to greet her: "The Imperial Noble Consort is here, the Emperor has been waiting for you inside for a long time."
As soon as Cai Quan finished speaking, a woman's light laughter came from inside. The Imperial Concubine's expression did not change: "Are Concubine Yuan and Concubine Xiang here too?"
Cai Quan nodded: "Your Majesty, now is the time to cherish the two concubines."
The Imperial Concubine said nothing more: "Go inside and tell the Emperor that if it is not convenient now, I will come back later."
"Yes." Cai Quan walked into Guangming Hall and came out shortly afterwards, followed by Yuanzhi and Xianglan.
"Greetings, Imperial Noble Consort." Yuanzhi and Xianglan paid their respects to the Imperial Noble Consort at the same time.
The Imperial Concubine replied calmly: "No need to be polite."
Yuanzhi and Xianglan do not look similar, but they are both beautiful, no wonder they can charm Emperor Jing of Wei.
If other concubines saw two such young and beautiful newcomers, they would probably feel jealous, but the Royal Concubine did not. If Emperor Jing of Wei had not summoned her today, she would not have come out at all, let alone met these two people.
