Chapter 192: Granted as the Crown Prince's Concubine
Xie Yanyan didn't feel that he had changed at all. Chu Xiwang became His Majesty, but he didn't put on airs and wasn't very happy.
"Qingshan told me that you asked Qinghe for his address. I buried Qinghe in his hometown."
"Qinghe, like Qingshan, has been with me for more than ten years. I am still not used to his sudden disappearance."
"Only Qingshan and I know where his grave is. Since the Song Kingdom has just been established, everything is still unstable. I don't want others to harm him."
[What if I am killed by my enemies? I don’t want Qinghe to be insulted after his death]
Xie Yanyan kept listening, and Xu Wenrong didn't say anything either, they just listened quietly.
Chu Xiwang stopped talking immediately after talking about Qinghe, and changed the subject, asking, "Did they treat you well when you went to Boluo County?"
"All good." Xie Yanyan said.
"That's good. I was planning to send you information every ten days, but I couldn't take care of it these days and was delayed. I won't do it again in the future." Chu Xiwang said sincerely, "Miss Xie, I have a favor to ask of you."
"you say."
"Qingxiu has been with me for more than ten years. She lost an arm to save me. I can't bear to see her wandering with me any more. Can you take her in temporarily? She is very self-reliant and can do some light work. Or you can ask her to collect information for you."
Xie Yanyan: "But I'm in a wild place, the conditions are not good."
"As long as you arrange something for her to do, I really don't have anyone more suitable to entrust her to. Perhaps the faraway wilderness is a pure land."
"The Song Kingdom has just been established, and there are still some forces that are not completely under control. She is by my side, and there are many dangers. It will be difficult for her to protect herself. I don't want her to end up like Qinghe."
"Miss Xie, Qingxiu is stubborn, but absolutely loyal. As long as you take her in, even if you become my enemy in the future, she will not harm you."
Chu Xiwang said a lot in one breath, just asking Xie Yanyan to take Qingxiu away, so that she would not die without a burial place if she followed him.
Xie Yanyan nodded: "Then you can tell her later that when I leave, you should go with me."
Chu Xiwang was overjoyed and told the second story.
"I originally promised you that I would open a branch of Sihai Pavilion in Lingnan. Now that Sihai Pavilion has been handed over to you, you can open it as you wish. Qingshan and the others told me that you have not touched Sihai Pavilion."
Xie Yanyan took out the master token of Sihai Pavilion and stuffed it to Chu Xiwang: "Brother, I was just about to say this. I really can't keep Sihai Pavilion. I don't have the energy to manage it now. Song State has just been established and there is a lot of work to be done. You need it more."
How could Chu Xiwang be willing to take it: "Take it. I give it to you, and it's yours."
The two talked about some world affairs, and he said solemnly: "I must tell you about the affairs of the Former Qin Dynasty."
"Emperor Xuanwen has regained control of the court, but he pretended to be unconscious for a while. Although he cleared out Prince Xi's faction internally, the Former Qin was completely in chaos."
"Prince Xi has now fled to Pingyang and taken refuge with Emperor Murong Feng."
That year, Emperor Xuanwen conquered the Former Yan, and Murong Fenghuang and her sister Princess Qinghe were captured. The beautiful sister was taken as a concubine by Emperor Xuanwen. Murong Fenghuang, who was only twelve years old at the time, was extremely beautiful, and was taken into the harem together with her sister.
After entering the harem, the sister and brother monopolized the emperor's favor. A poem was circulated in Kyoto: A female and a male, flying into the Purple Palace together.
In order to please him, Emperor Xuanwen ordered people to plant hundreds of thousands of sycamores and bamboos in the Apang Palace where he lived. At that time, there was a ballad in Chang'an that sang "Phoenix, Phoenix, stop at Apang".
However, after the ministers strongly advised Emperor Xuanwen that Murong Fenghuang would definitely become a disaster, Emperor Xuanwen sent him out of the palace and appointed him as the prefect of Pingyang.
When Chu Xiwang said this, Xie Yanyan interrupted him and said, "I'm afraid that Murong Fenghuang is going to rebel."
Chu Xiwang was very surprised: "You got the news too?"
"He was originally a prince of the Yan Kingdom. Later, Emperor Xuanwen destroyed the Yan Kingdom. He and his sister Princess Qinghe entered Emperor Xuanwen's harem at the same time." Xu Wenrong continued: "He has never forgotten the hatred of losing his country."
Xie Yanyan: "He hated the humiliation of being favored by Emperor Xuanwen even more."
Murong Fenghuang has not forgotten the hatred of losing his country, he will rebel, and King Xi will surrender to him. What does this mean?
Emperor Xuanwen's male favorite and his son rebelled against him?!
"The Crown Prince has returned to Kyoto, and Crown Prince Zhou has also returned to the Ministry of Works to take up his post. Crown Prince Zhou has mentioned the reward you received for curing the locust plague many times."
Xie Yanyan didn't say anything. Chu Xiwang said this, which meant that Emperor Xuanwen had no intention of pardoning her at all, right?
Xu Wenrong also guessed it and sneered, "Emperor Xuanwen was tolerant of a villain like Xie Jinrong. He favored his concubine and abandoned his wife, and supported his illegitimate son to inherit the title without any investigation. But he treated my cousin's family harshly again and again. It's actually very understandable."
It's nothing more than forcing the Xu family to take up official positions.
It's nothing more than continuing to keep my cousin hanging around to contribute inventions and creations.
Chu Xiwang took a deep breath and said that there was another piece of news that he had just received.
"?" Xu Wenrong and Xie Yanyan both looked at him.
"Emperor Xuanwen issued an edict to pardon Miss Xie's family. However, the edict issued by Emperor Xuanwen contained two pieces of information. One was to reward Miss Xie's family for their merits, and the other was to grant Miss Xie a marriage as the Crown Prince's concubine."
Let her be the prince's concubine?
Fu Hong’s concubine?
Xie Yanyan's eyes widened, and then he tilted his head slightly, with an impatient look on his face, and said lightly: "This kind of imperial edict can be used to wipe your butt."
It was the first time Chu Xiwang saw her with emotion, and he was speechless about Emperor Xuanwen's actions: "This imperial edict is indeed unacceptable."
"When Prince Zhou heard the contents of the imperial edict, he was very dissatisfied and went to Your Majesty to argue, but Your Majesty refused to see him. He then went to the Crown Prince to argue, but the two of them did not reach an agreement, so he beat the Crown Prince and called him a despicable villain."
Naturally, the prince was no match for Zhou Shaoyu and was beaten black and blue by him.
When Emperor Xuanwen learned that Zhou Shaoyu had injured the crown prince, he sent the Imperial Guards to arrest him, beat him with 50 sticks, threw him into prison, and handed him over to the Dali Temple for trial and punishment.
Xie Yanyan suddenly felt extremely anxious.
50 sticks, are you trying to kill him?
If Chu Xiwang received the news today, even if it was sent by carrier pigeon, it would have been a week ago.
So, is he still alive now?
"The King of Nanhai has not received the news yet. He still wants to adopt you as his adopted daughter." Chu Xiwang said, "Miss Xie has helped them take over the salt well. Go back to Boluo County as soon as possible."
He was afraid that the King of Nanhai would take revenge on Xie Yanyan. After all, Prince Zhou had beaten the Crown Prince because of the imperial edict.
Xu Wenrong shook his head: "The King of Nanhai is a good man and can think it through. The root cause of this matter lies with Emperor Xuanwen. The imperial edict is just an excuse. Even if it weren't for my sister, Emperor Xuanwen would have found a chance to get rid of Prince Zhou."
The prince will not be let go.
The ten-year term of hostage had already expired, and Emperor Xuanwen had no reason to keep Crown Prince Zhou any longer.
"You have taken two salt wells for the King of Nanhai. Zhou Xiaocheng's power has skyrocketed and he has become very powerful. He will also forcefully ask for his son back." Chu Xiwang said, "So the prince will definitely get into trouble in the next few months."
Xie Yanyan asked: "Based on Brother Chu's experience, what will Emperor Xuanwen do next? Will he force the King of Nanhai to come to the capital?"
Chu Xiwang told the truth: "It is highly likely that the King of Nanhai will receive a letter of death from the Crown Prince, and a letter of repentance from the Crown Prince: admitting that he has committed a heinous crime, is disloyal and unfilial, and is afraid of bringing trouble to his father, the king, and his mother, so he is willing to die to apologize."

I told you before that I have a little white tiger cat. He is a real chatterbox and keeps praising himself for being smart, cute and pretty all day long.
I married it off after the Chinese New Year and it seems to be giving birth now. I was busy all day today making an egg-laying nest for it. I will see if it can hatch some little parrots.
It's just that Xiaobao is particularly afraid of his wife, a bit like Xu Pang, a fat boss who is bad, cowardly, and a little clever. His image is definitely derived from Xiaobao.
