Liu Tangxi didn't believe everything Yin said. Because Yin really hated Liu Luan, the concubine, and had said many similar things before. If she said too much, her credibility would be reduced.
But after Wei Hanzhou said it, Liu Tangxi believed it. Because Wei Hanzhou was a very reliable person, and everything he said basically came true.
So, is the male protagonist of the book, the Third Prince, really going to marry someone else?
The one he married was the girl from the Weizhen Marquis's Mansion who was supposed to be his concubine.
In the book, this person fought with the original owner a lot. Both of them were fond of the Third Prince, and they fought before entering the Third Prince's mansion. Later, after entering the Third Prince's mansion, the two of them made the entire Third Prince's harem a mess in order to compete for favor. In the end, after the Third Prince ascended the throne, he dealt with both of them.
So, will this person succeed in ascending to the top in this life?
But if she really succeeds in getting promoted, what will the heroine do?
Is the heroine's halo going to be broken by them?
Liu Tangxi's mind was a mess and she had no idea how the plot would develop next.
Not only were they talking about this, the Third Prince and Liu Luan were also talking about it.
The third prince had a look of fear and frustration on his face.
"An'an, my previous plan failed. I wanted to ruin her reputation and prevent her from becoming the principal wife. But somehow, Marquis Weizhen knew about this in advance. Not only can I not let her be a concubine, I also cannot not marry her. If I don't marry her, Marquis Weizhen will become my enemy. You also know that since the prince married the daughter of the lieutenant general as a concubine, his influence among the generals is much stronger than mine. If Marquis Weizhen is added, I really have no chips to compete with him. But..."
Liu Yanan looked at the bright moon outside the window and said calmly, "But if you marry her and get the support of Marquis Weizhen, your influence among the generals will be stronger than that of the prince, and the emperor will trust you more."
The third prince finally smiled: "Yes, that's right, An An, you understand me."
"What about me? What are your plans?" Liu Luan looked at the third prince.
There was a night-shining pearl lighting up the room, so even at night, the Third Prince's face was still glowing.
His angular face seemed less harsh and more gentle in front of her.
She has known the third prince for more than ten years.
It would be a lie to say that there is no emotion at all.
Although at first she just wanted to support a prince and reach the pinnacle of power together, as they got along day after day, she gradually fell in love with him.
However, compared to personal feelings, she values power more.
"Don't worry, the day I ascend the throne, I will make you my queen. You can only be my queen." The third prince said with a firm look.
If someone else had said this, Liu Luan would naturally not believe it, but since these words came from the Third Prince, she knew him well enough, so at this point, she still believed him.
Of course, she also has enough confidence in herself.
"Actually... I can be your subject even if I don't want to be the empress. How about waiting for you to ascend the throne and giving me an official position so that I can work for you in the previous dynasty?" Liu Luan said tentatively.
She thought that if they were not husband and wife, it would be good for them to be monarch and subject. The Third Prince was decisive enough, and she had enough wisdom. She believed that if the two of them joined forces, they would be able to make the entire Dali prosperous and make the nearby countries submit to them.
But after hearing these words, the third prince frowned, an angry look appeared on his face, and he held Liu Luan'an's hand tightly.
"What are you saying? You can only be my queen. You are my woman, how can you be with a group of men in the court? I said I would let you become the queen, and you can definitely do it." The third prince said firmly.
How could other women be worthy of watching the mountains and rivers with him?
Liu Luan stared at the Third Prince's eyes for a long time, with mixed feelings. She tilted her head slightly, not looking at the Third Prince's eyes again, and said, "If you want to take the throne, Prince Jian must not let down his guard. I guess this was done by Prince Jian."
The third prince frowned again.
Next, the two men talked for a long time about the current situation.
After coming out of the Third Prince's Mansion, Liu Yunan became completely silent.
Qing He said, "Miss, how could the Third Prince treat you like this? Where does he put you?"
Liu Yanan let out a long breath, his eyes showing confusion.
It seemed that ever since Prince Jian entered the capital, everything was out of control.
The Crown Prince, the Third Prince, the Second Prince, the Prince Jian...
Over the years, she had helped the Third Prince deal with the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince took the throne, she would only have one fate, and that was death. Therefore, the Crown Prince must not take the throne.
The second prince neither has the intention nor the ability to do so.
To be fair, Prince Jian is also very suitable to be the emperor, and even now, she still can't figure out all his details. This kind of person is too dangerous, she can't get in touch with him. Moreover, in the past year, she has been secretly instigating the third prince to eliminate Prince Jian's power. Therefore, if he takes the throne, she will also be finished.
There is only the third prince.
Thinking of the Third Prince's answer when she asked him that question just now, Liu Luan sighed again.
She didn't know how she had ended up in this situation. She had seen the Crown Prince about to be deposed and she was almost successful, but now she was in a dead end.
It seemed as if all her efforts were in vain.
Is it really impossible for her to realize her ambitions?
Coming to this strange time and space, Liu Luan began to doubt himself for the first time.
Things were really getting further and further out of her control.
But she had no choice but to move forward.
Because, taking a step back would be a fall into an abyss of no return.
Early the next morning, Wei Laosan and others moved to a house in the suburbs of Beijing.
Bosheng had gone to study a long time ago, and Fuyao and Shulan also went to the marquis's mansion to study early this morning.
In fact, most of the things have been moved there, and today we just need to bring the daily necessities.
Liu Tangxi also followed.
As soon as they arrived at the house, people from the Huai'en Marquis Mansion came over.
Yin has always been a thoughtful person. This time, she asked her servants to bring gifts to congratulate Qiao on his relocation.
This made the Wei family feel very relieved, but at the same time they were also very frightened.
Looking at so many expensive gifts, I refused for a long time and did not dare to accept them.
Liu Tangxi didn't care too much about it. He gave a few words of advice and accepted the gift.
As soon as the people from the Marquis's Mansion left, another person came to send a gift, this time it was from the Prince Jin's Mansion. However, the people from the Prince Jin's Mansion were very low-key, and if Liu Tangxi hadn't known the eunuch, he wouldn't have known it was their mansion.
Seeing that the people from Prince Jin's Mansion didn't seem to want to make it public, Liu Tangxi didn't say who the other person was. He only told Wei Lao San that he was a colleague of Wei Hanzhou with whom he had a very good relationship.
The gift from Prince Jin's Palace further confirmed Liu Tangxi's thoughts. It seemed that Wei Hanzhou was very close to Prince Jin's Palace.
Liu Tangxi went back after having lunch here.
After waking up, I suddenly felt empty inside.
Alas, the liveliness was only temporary. There were only she and Wei Hanzhou in this mansion.
It would be nice if there were more people at home.
Over the next few days, Liu Tangxi was in a bad mood and didn't eat much.
Wei Hanzhou was very worried when he saw her like this. He held her hand and said, "My lady, if you miss them, wait until they are settled and the house is ready, then take them back to stay for a few days, okay?"
Liu Tangxi said gloomily, "Well, okay."
A month later, the imperial edict came down, and the girl from the Weizhen Marquis's Mansion became the consort of the third prince.
The whole capital was shocked by this result.
Everyone knows that the third prince likes Liu Luan.
Although the emperor had always been dissatisfied with Liu Luan'an's status, every time he wanted to choose a wife for the third prince, he was rejected by the third prince. But now, the third prince agreed, and the imperial edict had come down, so there was no room for change.
Liu Xuan'an was often laughed at.
Not only Liu Ruan, but also Marquis Huai En was ridiculed.
Huai Enhou was in a bad mood.
He was so angry that he took sick leave and didn't go to court for several days.
He had always looked down on the Third Prince, and he didn't mind him because he was a powerless little prince. But now the Third Prince married a girl from another family for power. It was really disgusting.
He supported him before so that his daughter could become the queen. But now it seems that his daughter still has no hope. The situation is complicated now. Since the third prince does not give him face, he has no need to support the third prince. He thinks supporting the crown prince is also a good choice.
Liu Yanan was quick to notice Marquis Huai'en's little move, and after tidying up, he went to the study.
"The third prince said that when he ascends the throne, he will still make me the queen." Liu Luan said bluntly.
After hearing this, Marquis Huai En thought about the current situation and felt that the possibility was not very high. The third prince was suppressed by the crown prince. Although the crown prince was also suppressed by the third prince, the crown prince was still the crown prince and had an advantage over the third prince.
"An An, do you still believe in the Third Prince?"
"Dad, don't you believe in the Third Prince?" Liu Luan asked back.
Marquis Huai En frowned and said, "It's not that I don't believe him, but after all, the Crown Prince is the legitimate heir. He is now almost the same as the Third Prince in front of the Emperor."
After hearing this, Liu Xuan'an had nothing to understand. Her father had really sided with the prince.
After thinking carefully, Liu Ruan looked up at Marquis Huai En and said, "If the prince ascends the throne, based on what my daughter and father have done before, what do you think will happen to us given the prince's temperament?"
"Dad, don't forget what happened to Yuan Yushi."
Hearing this, Marquis Huai En was shocked and calmed down.
A few years ago, Yuan Yushi impeached the crown prince, and a few days later, this Yushi was beaten to death.
Actually, it was the third prince who exposed this matter.
It was also from this incident that the emperor gradually disliked the prince.
"The Crown Prince has always been a vindictive person. Even though he may treat you politely at this moment, it will be hard to say what will happen when he ascends the throne and takes power."
Thinking of the prince's temper, Marquis Huai'en felt a pang in his heart.
Over the years, he has been supporting the Third Prince, and what he has done is more serious than impeachment. If the Crown Prince is really allowed to ascend the throne, he will probably be beheaded, and the Crown Prince will probably dig up their ancestral graves.
Seeing Marquis Huai'en's expression, Liu Yanan lowered her eyes slightly and continued, "Father, my daughter is originally a concubine. If I really marry into the Third Prince's mansion, I can only be a concubine at most. I became the principal wife only because the Third Prince loves me. When the Third Prince ascends the throne in the future, based on his love for me, even if I am not the empress, I will at least be the noble concubine. Our mansion will still be able to stand firm."
Marquis Huai En just felt that the crown prince was becoming increasingly powerful, and that the father-in-law's dream was shattered. Now, after hearing what Liu Yunan said, he gradually calmed down.
"You're right, Dad is confused."
Liu Luan smiled and said, "How could Dad be so confused? The prince must have deceived you and created a false impression."
Hearing his daughter's words, Marquis Huai En felt very relieved and nodded.
When Liu Tangxi woke up early the next morning, he forgot about the matter of the third prince and Liu Luan'an.
Whether these two people are good or bad, or whether they will be together or not has nothing to do with her. Besides, they are the official couple in the book, so maybe they can be together in the end.
In his previous life, before the Third Prince ascended the throne, he dealt with several concubines and other girls in the palace.
How do you know that he won't make room for Liu Luantang in the future?
She only hoped that Prince Jian could be more capable, quickly kill the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, then overthrow Emperor You and ascend the throne.
This way, she might be able to live longer and live a more comfortable life.
She has a lot of things to do. She has to check on the hawthorn trees that were moved here last year to make sure they will grow hawthorns this year.
However, for some reason, after going to see Shanzha for a few days, she felt a little unwell and vomited when she came back.
She thought she was carsick again, and she felt listless and had no energy. She didn't go out for several days.
She did not go to the Marquis's Mansion, nor did she go to Li's place.
After a few days, when I felt better, I went out to buy some things or to look around the shops.
A few days later, she was really worried about Li and the others, so she took a carriage to go there. However, this time the carriage ran slowly, and she was fine, so she didn't feel too disgusted.
It’s a pity that Fu Yao and the others all went to study, and there was less joy in the house.
She asked Zhang and her family about Fu Yao and Shu Lan, but they didn't know much either. They seemed a little worried, as if they were afraid that their daughters wouldn't get along with those young ladies from official families and would be bullied.
Liu Tangxi thought about it, picked some fresh vegetables from the ground, and prepared to go to the Marquis' Mansion to see the two of them.
However, as soon as he arrived in Beijing, that uncomfortable feeling came back again, so Liu Tangxi hurried back home and did not go to the Marquis' Mansion.
After returning home, Liu Tangxi ate a quick meal and went to bed.
After lying down, I didn’t even have the energy to cook dinner.
In the evening, after Wei Hanzhou came back, he looked at Liu Tangxi's ugly face and frowned slightly.
"Going out in a carriage again?" Wei Hanzhou asked.
He still remembers how uncomfortable Liu Tangxi looked half a month ago.
When she came to Beijing, she suffered from severe motion sickness. She thought it would get better after sitting in the city for a long time, but she started to feel sick again recently.
Liu Tangxi said, "Well, I saw that you were busy recently and you didn't get to visit mom and the others during your day off. You went there today. You were fine before, but who knew you would feel sick again."
"Let's ask a doctor to take a look." Wei Hanzhou felt that his wife's complexion had not been very good since his parents left.
Maybe it's not just motion sickness, maybe I'm in a bad mood.
How can I do this without taking medicine?
"No need." Liu Tangxi said.
Liu Tangxi really didn't want to take medicine. It was just motion sickness, and he would be well by tomorrow.
When I thought of the bitter taste, I felt that disgusting feeling coming back.
However, she was afraid that Wei Hanzhou would see her vomit and would go to ask a doctor, so she quickly took the water and drank a few sips to suppress it.
After drinking the water, Liu Tangxi looked at Wei Hanzhou's ugly face and said, "If it doesn't get better tomorrow, I'll ask a doctor, okay?"
Wei Hanzhou looked at her and compromised.
He regretted that he had been too busy recently. Next time he had a day off, he would definitely take his wife out to have some fun and relax.
Liu Tangxi didn’t eat much for dinner.
By the next morning, Liu Tangxi thought he would be fine, but he still felt sick.
After vomiting for a while, Liu Tangxi finally felt better.
Mrs. Chen came in to clean up for Liu Tangxi.
Nanny Cheng had some family matters to attend to, so she went back home a few days ago.
When Liu Tangxi first came to the capital, Mrs. Chen was in the mansion. At that time, Liu Tangxi had vomited due to motion sickness and it took her several days to recover. So, even when she saw her vomit, Mrs. Chen did not think much of it.
"Madam, you should ask the doctor to take a look at you. Didn't you get better after taking medicine last time?"
"No, it's not that uncomfortable. I feel much better now."
Then, Liu Tangxi went to eat.
After three or five days, Liu Tangxi felt much better and went to the Marquis' Mansion.
However, this time she went there in a sedan chair and did not dare to take a horse-drawn carriage. She was a little scared when she saw a horse-drawn carriage now.
Yin was very happy to see her daughter coming.
"How come you have time to come here today? Have you finished pruning the hawthorn trees on the farm?"
Liu Tangxi nodded: "Yes, it's all done. The rest is left to the steward. I just came to see my mother because I haven't seen her for a long time."
Yin smiled and said, "You still remember that I am your mother. I see your mother-in-law and others are here, and you almost forgot that you even have a mother."
Liu Tangxi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly reflected on herself. After careful calculation, it seemed that she had come here less often in the two or three months since Li and his family came.
Liu Tangxi quickly approached Yin, hugged her arm and said, "How could my daughter forget mother? It's mainly because my mother-in-law has a lot of things to do. They just came to the capital, so I have to take care of them. Now everything is fine, I will come to see mother more often in the future."
Yin was not really blaming her daughter. She knew that she was very busy. However, she couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable when she thought about how her daughter used to come to see her from time to time, but now she only came once a month.
"You just know how to make me happy." Yin nodded her daughter's head.
Seeing that Yin was in a better mood, Liu Tangxi hugged her arm and rubbed it.
"The young lady has the best relationship with you and must be thinking of you all the time. Although the young lady is not here, she has sent you a lot of fruits, vegetables and food." Madam Shao said with a smile.
"You are the only one who can speak." Yin said.
Everyone laughed.
As she was talking, Yin glanced at Liu Tangxi and said, "Although I know you have been busy these past few months, I didn't expect you to have lost so much weight."
Liu Tangxi didn't want to worry Yin, so she didn't tell her that she was feeling unwell. Instead, she said, "It's getting hotter today, so my daughter has no appetite and eats less."
After hearing this and looking at her daughter's expression, Yin suddenly had an idea.
"Did you have your period last month?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Tangxi understood what she meant.
"no."
Yin's eyes brightened up, and she opened them as if to say something.
Liu Tangxi said quickly: "However, my daughter's menstruation has been irregular in recent years. Sometimes it only comes once every month."
She knew what Yin was expecting, and she herself had some doubts. After all, the feeling she had recently was not quite like motion sickness. If it was really motion sickness, it would not have lasted for so many days.
But she had never been pregnant, so she didn't know what it felt like. So she guessed that it was probably because of the hot weather and the summer heat.
After all, Yin had given birth to a child before, so she wasn't as careless as her.
"Where is Nanny Cheng beside you?" Yin asked.
Liu Tangxi said, "She had something to do at home and went back a few days ago."
Yin frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied with Nanny Cheng.
"It was true. I heard that her daughter-in-law gave birth to a child. She didn't want to go back, but I asked her to go back." Liu Tangxi explained quickly.
"You are just too kind-hearted." Yin said.
However, seeing her daughter defending Nanny Cheng so much, she didn't want to say anything in front of her daughter.
"You don't look very good. Let's ask a doctor to take a look."
“No——” Liu Tangxi was about to refuse, but then he remembered that he had been suffering from motion sickness recently, and thought it would be great if this could be cured.
"All right."
Madam Shao went to ask for the imperial physician. Liu Tangxi felt the room was a little suffocating and she wanted to vomit. She was afraid that Yin would see her and worry, so she made an excuse to go to the clean room to get some fresh air.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the small garden, I saw Liu Luan and her sisters.
"Second sister, what are you so proud of now? We are both concubines, and you can never become the Third Prince's consort. Besides, you have been with the Third Prince for so many years, I'm afraid no man would want you!" said the Third Miss Liu Yanyi.
Then, another voice was heard: "Third sister, please stop talking like that. Second sister is older, not as young as us. It's not easy for her to find another one. She must be so sad when you say that." The person who said this was the fourth sister, Liu Lingling.
"Third sister, fourth sister, if you don't want to marry a poor man or become a concubine to a 45-year-old man, don't bother me." Liu Li'an said.
Liu Tangxi looked at the three sisters gathered together and felt emotional. None of these sisters were easy to deal with. Fortunately, she got married when she came here and did not come back here.
Liu Lingling said a little aggrievedly: "Second sister, what are you saying? It was obviously Third sister who was talking about you. I am just saying good things for you."
Liu Yunan glanced at Liu Yunling.
She is not a fool, she knows exactly what Liu Lingling is thinking.
"Our marriage is decided by our father and mother, why are you afraid of her? She can't even handle her own marriage, and she wants to meddle in other people's affairs? Humph, don't you see who you are?" Liu Yanyi said.
"Then the two sisters will try to see if I can make the decision." Liu Luan said very calmly.
Liu Pingyi and Liu Pingling were no match for Liu Pingan. After just a few words, they were defeated and left in disgrace.
Liu Tangxi had seen enough of the show and wanted to leave, but unexpectedly, he was discovered by Liu Luan.
Since she was discovered, she just walked away generously.
"I have met the elder sister. Did you come here to laugh at me?" Liu Luan asked.
Liu Tangxi thought to herself, she didn't have the time for that. She was just curious. This book is about a heroine, and now because of her arrival, the plot has been ruined. The hero and heroine will not be together anymore, so how will the plot develop?
Will Liu Luan really kill the Third Prince's wife and replace her in the future?
Is the heroine's halo still there?
However, in her opinion, although Liu Luan was not a good person, the third prince was a man without bottom line and was more disgusting than Liu Luan.
Liu Xuanan is a time-traveling woman after all, so how could she fall for a man like this?
"There are many good men in the world, so please be more open-minded, second sister."
Liu Luan didn't expect Liu Tangxi to say such a thing. He looked at her for a long time without saying anything.
Coincidentally, the imperial physician came, and Liu Tangxi didn't say anything more to her. He turned around and left.
