Chapter 93: Taking Advantage of the Situation
When Xia Yutong woke up, she felt as if her body had been run over by a car, and there was no good place on her body.
It hurts everywhere.
If she hadn't been in good physical condition, she would have died long ago.
Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, she knew where she was without even thinking.
Her body was very sticky. She was not familiar with the place and did not dare to use the space. She could only get out of bed with difficulty and pour herself a glass of water.
Of course, she also changed the water. "My own water is still more comfortable." After drinking a large glass of spiritual spring water, Xia Yutong finally had some strength.
The people who had been guarding outside also heard the noise inside the house.
"But the young lady is awake?" Chunlai asked anxiously.
When she heard the familiar voice, Xia Yutong smiled, "Well, I'm fine. Ask someone to prepare water. I want to take a bath." Since Chunlai was there, she had nothing to worry about.
Chunlai was accompanied by freshmen and sophomores. When they heard this, they immediately ordered their subordinates to take action.
In order to prevent people from finding out who was inside, Chunlai and Dayu were the ones who fetched water in, while Dayi stood at the door.
The sunset appeared, but Wen Li had not returned yet, so I was afraid that something had happened to Chao Shang.
The freshmen didn't dare to say anything more and could only guard Miss Xia first, with everything centered around Miss Xia.
After Xia Yutong took a pleasant bath, she changed into the clothes Chunlai prepared for her.
When she came out, she saw food placed outside. She didn't hesitate and went straight forward to sit down and eat.
After eating and drinking, he asked Wen Li a question and went back to bed.
She didn't open her eyes until she felt a familiar presence around her.
"You're back." Xia Yutong said a very ordinary greeting.
But these four simple words warmed Wen Li's heart, which had been cold for many years.
"Well, I'm back." He held the person and the quilt in his arms.
"Have you had your meal today? Are you still hungry?" He had been busy all day and had only just finished his morning work.
However, a lot of people from my second brother's faction have been eliminated, so I think things will be peaceful from now on.
I can use it to spend more time with her.
"I'm not hungry. How about you? You just came back. Have you eaten?" Xia Yutong was actually a little sleepy. She was not very clear-headed and kept her eyes closed when asked.
Wen Li took a deep breath of her fragrance and said in her ear, "I've eaten. I've been busy today. Are you okay?" His heart was full of her.
Even when he was blocking his opponent, he was still thinking of her.
Just think about the suffering she endured for him, it would not be an exaggeration for those people to cut her into pieces.
His hands started to become a little dishonest. Xia Yutong immediately opened her eyes and looked at him: "What are you doing?" She was very defensive.
You can't blame her for this. God knows how she managed to get through those three days.
"Don't worry, I won't touch you. I just want to see if your injuries are better?" Seeing her like this, Wen Li smiled gently.
He is a human being, not an animal, and he would never bully her when she is hurt.
Seeing him looking at her jokingly, Xia Yutong blushed in embarrassment, "Hmph, go away, I don't need you." It would be weird if she could believe what a man said.
Seeing her like this, Wen Li didn't dare to make too much trouble, for fear of hurting her.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to bed." He tightened the quilt and the person in his arms, leaned against her ear, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
He was mentally exhausted that day.
Xia Yutong was already tired, so there was no reason for her to refuse when she heard about going to sleep.
A dreamless night.
The two woke up early the next morning.
"I have to go to court today. Please wait for me for a while. I will take you for a good tour after the court." The scenery of the palace is quite nice.
Of course she had no objection, "Well, go ahead and get busy."
On the other hand.
The Second Prince's family suffered a severe blow yesterday.
After the imperial concubine learned about it, she began to make arrangements overnight.
Since what has been done cannot be covered up, let it go.
Some people need to be given up.
At worst, we can give them some more money to settle down, and I think they will keep their mouths shut.
Without waiting for the second prince to return, the imperial concubine sent someone to inform the Yuwen family and asked them to discuss the matter of establishing a concubine tomorrow.
This matter doesn't need to be so urgent, but in order to divert the matter, it has to be brought up.
The Yuwen family was also frightened. When they heard the news from the palace, the old man of the Yuwen family immediately sent someone to reply to the letter from the palace without saying a word.
Said his family agreed.
Originally, the family thought that if the second prince was capable, then there would be no need for their own legitimate daughter. There was only one legitimate daughter in the family, and they all loved her. If she didn't like the second prince, then they would let her find someone who suited her.
But it’s different now.
Plans don't change as fast as they should.
After receiving the letter, the second prince's lineage began to take action.
Look, at the court this morning, yesterday’s incident was just like a thing of the past, not mentioned at all.
It was the Right Prime Minister, who was of the same lineage as the Second Prince, who spoke first and talked about the marriage of the two princes.
Wen Li was happy when he heard it.
He was originally thinking about when to find an opportunity to talk about this, but he didn't expect that the opportunity would be brought to him.
Wen Li made a gesture to Zuo Xiang. They had originally agreed that they must bring another group of people today.
But now, there is no rush, there are more important things.
Emperor Ouyang sat upright on the high dragon throne, listening to the speeches of his ministers below.
"I wonder what the Right Prime Minister has to say?" The emperor seemed to be interested and asked with his body straightened.
"The eldest prince and the second prince are both of advanced age, but the issue of a consort has not yet been decided. People say that one should cultivate oneself and manage the family, govern the country and bring peace to the world. Your Majesty, I humbly request that you arrange a marriage for the two princes." The right prime minister said loudly.
After hearing the words of the Right Prime Minister, the ministers all leaned over to discuss the matter.
But the eldest prince stood there straight, motionless.
The second prince's face was full of confidence, and it was obvious that he was well prepared.
He glanced at his royal brother standing in front of him.
"Royal brother, do you have someone in mind? Although our royal family does not consider family background when marrying concubines, the position of the principal wife must also be available. I wonder if my royal brother has anyone he likes?" The second prince said with a proud look on his face.
"If my royal brother has no one to choose from, why not let Mother help you pick one? I think Mother would be very willing to do so."
Wen Li turned around and looked at him, the mockery in his eyes was too obvious.
"Oh, so the Yuwen family is planning to have two princesses? It seems that the Yuwen family is really bold." Wen Li's voice was heard a lot, and the ministers standing behind them certainly heard their conversation.
As soon as Wen Li finished speaking, Chaoshang suddenly became quiet.
"It seems that there is no need to choose my second brother's wife. She must be from the Yuwen family, right?" After saying that, Wen Li looked at the head of the Yuwen family among the civil officials opposite him.
He is also the second prince's uncle.
Lord Yuwen really can't say much about this matter. Everything depends on the Second Prince.
The second prince glanced at his uncle, and when he saw the displeasure in his uncle's eyes, he immediately reacted.
"My cousin Xiu'er is both virtuous and talented, and in her prime, she is capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility. As the Second Prince's consort, she is even better." The Second Prince bowed to the ascended emperor and said, "I beg your Majesty to grant me your blessing."
