The second prince rushed to the gate of Weiyang Palace, but suddenly realized something was wrong. He turned around and ran towards Chengqian Palace.
Concubine Heng's grief has subsided. She knew this day would come, but she is currently enjoying the emperor's favor and has the Second Prince, so it is important for her to hold on to what is in front of her.
"Mother," the second prince strode in.
The palace maids didn't have time to report anything, as they were all very cautious. They all knew that Old Madam He had passed away and Concubine Heng was very sad.
"Mother, please help me. I don't want Duke Dingguo's family. Please help me find my father and let him go," the second prince shouted.
Concubine Heng glanced at him and didn't expect him to be so bold as to disobey the order.
"Everyone step back."
She sent all the palace people out before patiently persuading them, "Duke Dingguo's family holds a title and is a family of real meritorious service. What a good marriage! Even the Queen wants to..."
"If she wants to give it to my brother, I will give it to him," the second prince interrupted Concubine Heng. He didn't want it anyway.
Concubine Heng was so angry that her chest hurt.
The Second Prince then noticed that Concubine Heng was frowning, and there seemed to be beads of sweat on her forehead. He hurried forward and handed her a cup of tea, "Mother, I really don't like Chen Langyi."
Concubine Heng rolled her eyes at him. Like him? Since when did a prince choose his principal wife based on liking?
"The main wife is supposed to support you from behind. Besides, you haven't even had any contact with the girl yet, so how can you say you don't like her?" Concubine Heng's voice softened.
The second prince wanted to refute but was interrupted by Concubine Heng, "You said you like Liu Qian, but you haven't even met her. I don't know who you are bringing to me."
When mentioning this matter, the second prince's face was embarrassed. He really miscalculated.
Seeing that he could not win the argument with Concubine Heng, he started to act stubborn and said, "I don't care, I will marry no one but Liu Xi."
Concubine Heng also lost her patience, "How dare you! The imperial decree has been issued, you must marry. Your father has spoiled you, how dare you disobey the decree?"
The second prince said nothing, turned around and left with a pout.
What should I do? What should I do?
Liu Xi is the future queen. If I can't marry her, then it's all over! Tell my mother directly? Will she believe it?
The second prince's heart was in turmoil. Should he tell his uncle?
His uncle Hengyue is ten years older than him and is very close to him. But on second thought, his grandmother just passed away and his uncle must be very sad. It would be inappropriate to bother him at this time, right?
Nothing is more important than the throne. The second prince made up his mind and went to find his uncle!
......
General Heng's Mansion.
The gate and the interior were all covered in white. The mother of the current first-rank imperial concubine had passed away, and people came to pay their respects in an endless stream.
Mrs. Du was in charge of the inner house, welcoming and seeing off guests, knowing where to greet them, who to talk to, where to change clothes... Everything was in perfect order. Everyone praised her for her ability, and the fear in Mrs. Du's heart disappeared without a trace in the praise.
Now she is the head of the house and her word is final. If she had known this would happen, she should have taken action sooner. She has suffered for so many years in vain.
People sometimes have to be bolder.
Mrs. Du thought again of what her mother-in-law, Madam He, had done over the years, and she felt very unhappy. Her expression gradually turned worse, but no one suspected her.
She was lost in thought when she looked up and saw the Second Prince, "Second Prince~".
Mrs. Du was the Second Prince's elder, so the Second Prince performed the ceremony as a junior, "Where's my uncle?"
"Come here, take the Second Prince to find the general," Mrs. Du ordered.
Heng Yue was busy receiving male guests when the Second Prince pulled him aside and said, "Uncle, I have something important to discuss with you."
He made some arrangements and took the second prince to the study.
"Uncle, is there any way to cancel the marriage with Duke Dingguo?" The second prince directly expressed his purpose.
Heng Yue was slightly surprised, "Your Highness, are you not satisfied with this marriage?"
The second prince shook his head, not because he was dissatisfied, but because he could not marry.
If he hadn't heard that Liu Xi was the future queen, he would have thought it was a good match.
Heng Yue paced back and forth. The emperor had already issued an order. If they retreated, it would be a slap in the face of the emperor, and the Duke Dingguo's Mansion would not be able to justify it.
"Uncle, some people say that Liu Qian, the daughter of Liu Yan, the imperial doctor, is the future queen, so we have no choice but to marry her..." the second prince whispered.
He believed in this uncle.
Du Yue frowned, what?
The second prince pondered and told Guo Xiner that he could hear the voice of the baby in her belly.
Du Yue, what? What? What?
Looking at Du Yue's shocked expression, the second prince nodded. What he said was true!
quiet......
After a long pause, Du Yue asked, "When did it happen?"
The second prince told what happened after he first met Guo Xiner. Du Yue twisted his index finger and thumb together. He had this habit when he was deep in thought.
"Be more detailed and don't miss any information."
The second prince recalled carefully, and then repeated everything he knew in detail.
That’s right, Du Yue suddenly raised his brows and said, “Cancel the engagement.”
"Well?" After hearing this, the second prince walked forward, held Du Yue's face and kissed him hard.
He knew that his uncle would believe him and help him!
Then, there was a moment of embarrassment.
Du Yue looked at the second prince and stood there. What?
"Then, uncle, how do we retreat?" The second prince spoke a little unsteadily.
Du Yue laughed out loud, "Leave it to me." He thought for a moment and said, "You find a way to find out about Chen..."
"Chen Langyi"
"Try to find out what Chen Langyi means and find a way to ask her out."
As he spoke, a plan had already come to his mind. The marriage was granted by imperial decree, so how could he cancel it easily, unless her innocence was ruined.
"Wait?" Du Yue suddenly realized something was wrong. "You said, His Highness invited Concubine Guo to his residence?"
The Second Prince nodded. Yes, "What's wrong? My brother is trying to please our father, right?"
Du Yue's face was gloomy. No, could it be? Could it be? His eyes lit up. Could it be that the eldest prince could also hear that voice?
Seeing Du Yue's expression, the Second Prince racked his brains. What was wrong?
Everything is fine!
"Could it be that His Highness heard the cries of the baby in Concubine Guo's belly and deliberately designed such a scene?" Du Yue murmured.
This sentence made the Second Prince break out in a cold sweat. Why didn’t he think of this? Well, then he would have no advantage!
Du Yue clapped his hands, "That's it, is the eldest prince crazy? He brought Concubine Guo into the palace, and you first talked to the queen about marrying the daughter of the Liu family. She agreed, but later, her attitude became unclear, and finally she just didn't care." He paused, looked at the second prince seriously, "The key lies with the eldest prince. It was the eldest prince who stopped the queen."
Yes, yes, that’s right. The second prince looked as if he had just woken up from a dream, and then he looked worried, “Doesn’t that give my elder brother the upper hand? He has already taken the person to his house.”
Du Yue said, "Not entirely. We know that he can hear the thoughts of the child in Concubine Guo's belly, but he doesn't know it. This is also an opportunity."
