Chapter 102 Why are you also grounded?
The emperor almost laughed out loud, "He's truly my good son. Being Ruan Chongshan's adopted son for so many years isn't enough; he wants to be his son-in-law and serve the Zhenguo Marquisate for the rest of his life!"
Xie Yan said sternly, "I married Mingyi simply because I loved her. It has nothing to do with the Zhenguo Marquisate."
"Shut up!" The emperor was so angry that he had a headache, and the sympathy he felt for Xie Yan had disappeared without a trace.
He shouted angrily, "You too, go back to the palace and reflect on your actions! Without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of the palace!"
Mo Ying originally thought that his prince had been "wronged" this time, and that the emperor might reinstate him to his original position in order to compensate him, but he did not expect that the prince was also under house arrest by the emperor.
He followed Xie Yan and asked in confusion, "Your Highness, you know that the Emperor will not agree, so why do you still want to anger the Emperor?"
Xie Yan's eyes darkened slightly.
He naturally knew that the emperor was suspicious of the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion and would not agree to this marriage.
But what does it matter whether he agrees or not? The only one who can stop him from marrying Shengsheng is Shengsheng herself.
He just wanted to tell the emperor that he would not marry anyone but Shengsheng. If he was given a marriage with someone else, he would never agree, and he would never get any concubines for him.
Another point is that for many things to happen in the future, it will be more convenient to move from open to covert.
Although he didn't want to leave, because he wouldn't be able to see Shengsheng every day if he left the mansion, he would only bring trouble to the mansion if he continued to stay.
Things like what happened today must never happen again!

At the same time, at Prince Duan’s Mansion.
Bai Ruowei has been recuperating in Prince Duan's mansion recently.
She also knew that Prince Duan had instigated the emperor to send a concubine to Xie Yan, so of course she was happy to see the joke. She was happy to hear anything that could cause trouble for Ruan Yunsheng.
Who would have thought that the news of Prince Duan favoring a palace maid in a carriage would cause a sensation in the whole city in just one morning, and various bizarre versions of the story were circulated.
Therefore, as soon as Prince Duan returned home, she couldn't wait to find him.
"Your Highness, what happened today? Didn't you go to deliver a concubine to King Xuan? Why are there rumors circulating that you abducted a woman in the street and dragged her into your carriage to indulge her? The woman's husband even ran you over in an attempt to reclaim his wife."
Originally, Bai Ruowei didn't quite believe what he said, but when she saw the scratches on Prince Duan's face, as well as the wrinkled collar and torn hem of his clothes, she couldn't help but ask.
Prince Duan was filled with rage, and when he saw Bai Ruowei, he no longer had his usual patience and consideration.
He angrily said, "Those people outside are talking nonsense, and you believe everything they say? Ruo Wei, I always thought you were an intelligent woman, how come you've become such a nagging gossip?"
Bai Ruowei paused and said softly, "Your Highness, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask, did you give those two maids to Prince Xuan? What was Ruan Yunsheng's reaction when he saw it?"
Prince Duan said impatiently, "I'm injured, and you don't even show any concern. Instead of calling the court doctor to treat me, you stand in front of me and keep nagging me!"
Bai Ruowei said awkwardly, "Ruowei is too anxious..."
She reached out and touched Prince Duan's face, "Does your injury hurt, sir?"
Prince Duan pushed Bai Ruowei away and said sarcastically, "You don't have to pretend!"
He glanced at Bai Ruowei's ear wrapped in gauze, and felt disgusted when he thought of the ugly and mutilated ear.
When he first met Bai Ruowei, he thought she was pure and innocent, considerate, and had a unique way of blending perfumes... There was absolutely nothing wrong with her. He even thought that he would give Bai Ruowei the best in the future.
But now when he saw Bai Ruowei, he only felt annoyance in his heart. If it weren't for the support of the Shangshu Mansion behind her... he really didn't want to take this concubine into the palace!
Prince Duan glanced at Bai Ruowei, walked around her and went straight back to the room, and ordered the servants to quickly call the court doctor.
Although he felt that he was in good health, the doctor's words still made him a little worried.
Bai Ruowei stood there in a daze. She had noticed the disgust in Prince Duan's eyes just now.
In fact, she didn't understand why Prince Duan became like this?
It is clear in the original novel that Prince Duan is both talented in civil and military affairs and comes from a noble family. Apart from his fiancée Ruan Yunsheng who died early, he had no feelings for his original wife.
It was not until he met her that Prince Duan understood what love was. After ascending the throne, he defied all odds and made her the queen!
His two brothers, one was unable to walk and the other died young due to illness, so Prince Duan was the only choice to be the future crown prince.
These are clearly already set plots!
But Prince Duan has not only become mediocre and lustful, he has also lost his former tenderness towards her!
Most importantly, Xie Yan's relationship with the Marquis' Mansion has eased. Not only has he obtained the Hanxiang Feiyun Grass as a medicine, but Ruan Yunzhu should no longer poison him. So, will Xie Yan still die young from illness?
If Xie Yan had not died, could Prince Duan have ascended the throne as described in the original novel?
She has been in the book for five years, and she has only one goal from beginning to end, which is to become the heroine and the queen.
But if things continue like this, will she still be able to become the queen in the future?
Bai Ruowei was so angry that her eyes turned red. Everything was fine before, but it turned out like this after Ruan Yunsheng came back!
Qiu Xin supported her worriedly, "Miss, are you okay?"
Bai Ruowei gritted her teeth, turned and walked towards her room, and took out a bag of mysterious perfume powder from the bag she brought with her.
She held the packet of powder tightly, as if she was grabbing the last straw.
According to the timeline, the war between Sheng and Di will end soon, and Ruan Yunce will soon return triumphantly.
Although Ruan Yunce is the second son of the Marquis's Mansion, his strength is the most formidable among the four brothers!
Moreover, Ruan Yunce has a domineering personality and he doesn't go back on his word. If he doesn't recognize Ruan Yunsheng as his sister, then can Ruan Yunsheng still gain a foothold in the Marquis' Mansion?
Once Ruan Yunsheng is eliminated, none of her four brothers will survive!
She wants the Marquis Zhenguo's family to be destroyed!
Before, she had never taken out this packet of powder because she felt that after becoming the queen, she would eventually grow old and lose her beauty, so she had to keep it for use at a more critical moment.
But now, she just wants to get rid of Ruan Yunsheng!
Bai Ruowei stuffed the perfume powder into Qiu Xin's hand and ordered in a low voice, "After you find that person, give her the thing and ask her to do something for me..."
*
After leaving the palace, Xie Yan returned to the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion first.
Although he was under house arrest by the emperor, his reason for returning to the mansion to pack his luggage was reasonable.
It was already noon, and Ruan Yunbo and Pei Jinghong had also returned home.
Ruan Yunsheng was very confused about Xie Yan's house arrest. "This matter is clearly Prince Duan's fault. It's fine if he is under house arrest by the emperor, but why are you under house arrest too?"
Xie Yan smiled nonchalantly and evaded the main point, saying, "The emperor wanted to give me a concubine as a reward, but I refused. I probably disobeyed him with my words."
