Chapter 703: Is Xier jealous?
Mo Jinchuan raised his hand, pointed at the portrait of Censor Ren's daughter and said, "Miss Ren's uncle is a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan. He and my uncle have been friends for many years. When she went south with her mother as a child, she disguised herself as a man and went on business.
He also has an open-minded personality and is a good match for his cousin Qinghe."
As he spoke, he pulled out another portrait and unfolded it, saying, "This is the fifth daughter of Minister Lan. At such a young age, she has taken charge of the household affairs for her seriously ill mother, and she manages them in an orderly manner."
Next are the daughters of the Yu family and the Xiong family. They all come from prominent families and are not like other girls in the boudoir.
Actually, they are all pretty good.
Song Yanxi listened and didn't know how to refute for a moment.
Putting aside their family background, these candidates are indeed a good match for cousin Qinghe.
No matter how much you say, you only have one cousin Qinghe.
You can't just chop him into a dozen pieces and send one to each family, right?
Seeing the faint smile on Mo Jinchuan's lips, Song Yanxi asked tentatively, "Is the prince dissatisfied with the daughter of Marquis Changle?"
Although from what An Yi brought back today, it can be seen that this girl acts decisively, is clear-headed, bold and careful.
Unlike her foolish father and brother, who not only disregarded their own reputation when doing things outside, but also brought shame to the Changle Marquis' Mansion.
But after all, she had never spoken to this Miss Sun, let alone understood her.
Who knows, there might be some unknown inside story?
Mo Jinchuan laughed and said helplessly, "I don't know her at all, so how can I say whether she is satisfied or not?"
Song Yanxi just looked at him quietly without saying anything.
But that look clearly said it all.
If he still refuses to talk nicely, she will go out and ask someone herself.
No matter whether it is An Yi or An San, one of the siblings will always know.
Knowing her temper, Mo Jinchuan didn't dare beat around the bush and explained, "The reason why my aunt put pressure on Sun Mingkun to marry Song Baozhu as the Crown Prince's Consort is not only to make people laugh at the Yongchuan Marquis's Mansion, but also to make the two families enemies."
He paused, his expression indescribable as he said, "Song Baozhu's character is indeed somewhat unworthy of the position of the Crown Prince's Consort."
Song Yanxi understood and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to be so tactful. Although she is the daughter of the Marquis of Yongchuan, she is not my sister.
She was raised by Lian Niang since she was a child, and she learned the ways of a concubine. Not to mention being the Crown Prince's consort, she couldn't even be the wife of an ordinary family.
If she really were to marry him, it would undoubtedly cause unrest in the Changle Marquis's residence, and would inevitably lead to enmity."
Thinking of what Princess Huayang had done, Song Yanxi couldn't help but frown.
She really couldn't understand why an elder like her had to target her in every way.
Even though he was unhappy that she was getting married for the second time, His Majesty had already issued an imperial decree, and their marriage was a foregone conclusion.
No matter what she does, it will not affect the fact that she will become Mo Jinchuan's wife.
On the contrary, it is possible that the constant small movements reached the ears of Emperor Xuande.
No emperor would tolerate anyone questioning his decrees.
Even if this person is his own sister.
What exactly is Princess Huayang trying to achieve by doing this?
Song Yanxi really couldn't figure it out, so she just asked.
She said, "I don't think there's anything about me that's worthy of the princess's concern.
Given her personality, even if she disliked me, her future niece-in-law, she wouldn't be so obvious about it.
Her previous actions were truly foolish and completely out of character for her.
Mo Jinchuan's eyes darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "My aunt is forcing me to bow to her."
"Bow to her?" Song Yanxi's face turned ugly.
Although she had always known that Princess Huayang intended to nominate him as the crown prince, she had never thought that she would dare to do it so blatantly.
You know, His Majesty has always shown good health to the outside world.
Even in the court, there were very few people who advised him to appoint a crown prince as soon as possible.
As his sister, Princess Huayang did not wish him a long life, but instead forced her son to compete for the throne.
What exactly does she want to do?
Could it be that she actually already knew that His Majesty was ill?
Mo Jinchuan said, "Aside from Eunuch De, who personally serves him, and Doctor Wang, who has been treating him, no one else knows about the emperor's poor health."
But Princess Huayang's actions were not like that.
Song Yanxi analyzed, "The reason why His Majesty is in such poor health right now is closely related to his years of hard work, but more importantly, it is caused by the untraceable illness he suffered three years ago."
It's more like a poison than a disease.
According to Doctor Wang, the pulse condition caused by that rare poison is exactly the same as that of Emperor Xuande at that time.
However, a few years have passed and no one knows where the miscellaneous book has gone, so there is no way to prove it.
Mo Jinchuan's face darkened as he said, "If it's medicine, it must have a source. I've already sent people to investigate the whereabouts of the person who's skilled in developing poisons."
Song Yanxi thought of something and thought, "Your Majesty, perhaps you can ask someone to check what Princess Shihan was busy with at that time."
Mo Jinchuan: "An Yi checked and found out that she was busy preparing for the opening of Shu Manor and locked herself in her room for several days drawing blueprints.
Judging from the timing, she is not a suspect.
Furthermore, the reason why she had spent so much time building up momentum for Shu Manor was because she hoped to gain the appreciation of her father.
She has no grudge against the emperor, and she has her own agenda, so she wouldn't attack him."
Song Yanxi responded and murmured, "The palace gates are heavily guarded, and everything His Majesty uses on a daily basis undergoes layers of inspection and testing for poison.
If it is really poisoning, could it be that the poison came from the sky?"
After saying this, Song Yanxi was so angry that she laughed at herself.
Even if she could do it again, it would prove that there are many things in this world that cannot be explained.
But if there really is something that is intended to harm Emperor Xuande, it can probably be easily solved with just a breath.
Why go to so much trouble to poison?
Not to mention, he survived and lived for another three years under the meticulous care of Imperial Physician Wang.
But if we exclude those stories about gods and ghosts, there is really no way to explain why this poison, which should not have appeared in the palace, entered the mouth of Emperor Xuande.
It almost cost him his life.
Mo Jinchuan's eyes became darker and darker, and the hands hanging in his sleeves slowly tightened.
Glancing at his expression, Song Yanxi realized something and softly comforted him, "Your Highness, don't take it too seriously. Without evidence, everything is just our speculation."
After all, Princess Huayang is your Majesty's sister. It has not been easy for the two of them to come this far, from the uprising to the prosperity of Da'an today.
I think she wouldn't be so cruel as to attack her own brother.
To take a step back, if that person is really her, with His Majesty's decisive and ruthless character, he would never keep such a cancer by his side.
Even if he didn't kill her immediately, he would exile her and never let her live under his nose again.
After all, once the murderous intent arises, it is like an invisible fire that can never be extinguished.
Mo Jinchuan responded softly, clearly having something on his mind.
Afraid he would overthink it, Song Yanxi picked up a portrait and said, "Your Highness knows so much about Censor Ren's daughter, are they old acquaintances?"
What old acquaintance?
Mo Jinchuan was startled when he heard this, then a smile appeared in his eyes as he asked, "Xier, why do you ask this? Are you jealous?"
