Dan Meng did not dare to hesitate and immediately sent someone to pass the message. Soon, Shangguan Yu brought Yuan Xuemei into the palace.
"Son, daughter-in-law, pay your respects to your mother."
Although Concubine Xian was anxious, she could not neglect Yuan Xuemei.
"We are all family, no need to be so polite, please take a seat."
"Dan Meng, Dan Die, serve tea to the prince and princess."
The two of them quickly served hot tea to the two of them. Concubine Xian glanced at Shangguan Yu, who looked calm, and couldn't help but ask.
"How do you plan to deal with the Han family's affairs?"
When Shangguan Yu heard Concubine Xian mention the Han family, a trace of emotion finally appeared on his calm face.
"Mother, I'm afraid Han Wenbin can't be saved."
"The incident happened suddenly last night, and I didn't have time to report it to Mother."
"Han Wenbin was arrested in Prince Yu's mansion. I cannot escape responsibility, so I went to the palace to report to my father overnight."
"Your Majesty, Father has asked me to personally deal with the Han family. This time, I'm afraid I have no other options."
Although Concubine Xian did not want to disappoint the Han family, she would definitely prioritize her own son.
"My mother knows what's going on. Remember to warn your grandfather in advance about what you plan to do."
Prince Yu nodded and said, "I'm sure my grandfather and uncle will come to you to plead for mercy. I hope my mother can offer some comfort to me."
The virtuous concubine nodded, then looked at Yuan Xuemei who was sitting obediently beside her.
"Xuemei, you will be the mistress of Prince Yu's Mansion from now on. You should deal with some people and some things as needed."
Yuan Xuemei knew that Concubine Xian was talking about Ye Xinxin. She had always been at odds with Ye Xinxin, so she naturally wouldn't let her go easily.
"Don't worry, mother, your daughter-in-law knows."
The virtuous concubine glanced at the two of them and pinched her aching eyebrows.
"You two have been busy all day. Go back and rest early. I am tired and will not keep you here any longer."
Seeing this, Shangguan Yu had no choice but to take Yuan Xuemei away. The two did not go to pay a visit to Shangguan Du and the Queen.
"Your Majesty, don't we have to offer tea to His Majesty and the Queen?"
Shangguan Yu shook his head. "No need. I have important matters to attend to. Let's go back first."
After the two left, the emperor and the empress both received the news.
Shangguan Du didn't say anything, but Qingning and Iris complained quietly.
"Your Majesty, Prince Yu is increasingly disregarding you."
"On the first day of your marriage, you didn't even bring your princess to serve you tea."
The Queen was unlucky and worried, "If you don't want to come, then don't come. It will save me from being upset if you see them."
"Besides, they have so many things to worry about right now that they don't have the time to maintain superficial etiquette."
Qing Ning wanted to say more, but Iris glared at her and she had to swallow her words.
The queen was not upset by Shangguan Yu's affairs, and went to arrange Shangguan Lingyun's marriage with a smile.
Three days later, Tianxuan came to report to Ye Xiaoxiao.
"Miss, the Emperor handed Han Wenbin's case over to Prince Yu, and Prince Yu handed Ye Xinxin over to Princess Yu."
Ye Xiaoxiao was not surprised by Tianxuan's reply.
"Our Majesty is truly a good father to Prince Yu."
Tianxuan nodded in agreement, and then told Ye Xiaoxiao the news that Shangguan Lingyun was going to get married.
"Miss, for some reason, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly asked Your Majesty to get married, and the Queen has already begun to arrange things for him."
Although Tianxuan didn't know what happened between Ye Xiaoxiao and Shangguan Lingyun, she knew that they had a close relationship and that the queen was very concerned about her young lady.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, Ye Xiaoxiao's face showed a hint of surprise.
"Shangguan Lingyun is getting married? Does he have a choice?"
Tianxuan shook his head. "I heard that the Queen is arranging someone for him, but the candidate has not yet been decided."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, feeling inexplicably angry for some reason.
Tianxuan saw that she was in a bad mood, so he changed the subject.
"Miss, the master and the second young master will arrive in the capital tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao asked with little interest.
"Were they subsequently assassinated?"
Tianxuan shook his head, and Ye Xiaoxiao stopped asking questions.
"I understand. Please step back."
Tianxuan turned and left. Not long after, Shangguan Lingyun, who had disappeared for three days, appeared again.
"Xiaoxiao, how do you feel today?"
Ye Xiaoxiao gave him a cold look and said in a neutral tone.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am fine."
Shangguan Lingyun felt Ye Xiaoxiao's alienation and asked in confusion.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly feel a little strange?"
Ye Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is getting married soon. I wonder what brings you here today?"
Shangguan Lingyun smiled faintly in his heart and wanted to hug her in his arms as usual, but Ye Xiaoxiao quietly dodged him.
Shangguan Lingyun's hands were empty. Seeing that Ye Xiaoxiao was angry, he did not get angry at all. Instead, he felt secretly happy in his heart.
"Xiaoxiao, please listen to my explanation."
Ye Xiaoxiao sat down and looked at Shangguan Lingyun coldly, her eyes speaking for themselves.
Shangguan Lingyun did not force her. He sat opposite her and gently stroked her hair.
"Xiaoxiao, you know that apart from you, I can't get close to other women."
Ye Xiaoxiao: [Can't, or don't want to? Scumbag.]
Shangguan Lingyun smiled bitterly, touched his nose and continued to explain.
"The reason I asked my mother to arrange my marriage was just a pretext."
Ye Xiaoxiao: [If men's words were trustworthy, even sows would climb trees.]
Shangguan Lingyun smiled lightly, “Xiaoxiao, you don’t know that many people have recently set their sights on Tianquan Bookstore and Tianquan Bookstore.”
