"I see. The rumors outside are indeed outrageous, but why didn't His Highness explain it? He just let people outside make up stories. His reputation has been greatly affected."
When this was mentioned, the guard opened his mouth subconsciously wanting to explain, but he didn't know what he thought of and he closed his mouth again.
"Anyway, young master, the prince is really a good man. If you want to know more about him, just come to the mansion and ask us.
What people outside say about the prince is all false, don't believe them."
The little guard emphasized solemnly.
"Okay, I've always been curious about one thing, so I'll ask you directly: were those three brides really killed by the prince?"
When Ying Xixi asked this question, she stared at the little guard's eyes, trying to see how his mood would change.
Who knew that when the little guard lowered his eyes, Ying Xixi couldn't observe him at all!
"Young Master, I can tell you anything else you're curious about, but if you're truly curious about this, you should go ask the prince yourself."
Ying Xixi: “???”
"I think the general has walked enough. He probably doesn't want to stroll around anymore today. We can go back to the yard."
The little guard said this and took Ying Xixi and Erha back to the main courtyard in another direction.
Ying Xixi tied up the Husky and hesitated whether to knock on the door and go into the house to say a few words to the Night King.
She came to walk the dog just to spend more time with the Night King. If she couldn't even say a word, wouldn't she be lonely?
"Young Master, the prince is probably asleep by now. If you have anything to say to the prince, you can tell me and I will convey it to the prince for you."
In the Night King's yard, the little guards became more polite in their speech.
Ying Xixi really didn't have anything to say to the Night King. What she wanted to say would all be nonsense and could not be conveyed.
She had no choice but to leave first.
But what Ying Xixi didn't know was that after she left, the little guard went into the Night King's room.
"Your Majesty, I have already told Miss Ying what she wanted to know as you instructed.
The only thing I didn't know how to explain was who killed the three brides, so I didn't explain it clearly."
In the darkness, the Night King hummed softly and asked the guards to retreat.
Every day after that, Ying Xixi would come to the Night King's Mansion to help walk the dog, but she never said a word to the Night King.
Every time she wanted to say something to the Night King, her guards would distract her with various excuses.
But the only good thing was that she knew a lot about the Night King's Palace from the guards.
She also increasingly felt that the Night King was not the bad guy with an extreme personality who killed innocent people as those people outside said.
During this period, a lot of fun happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The fact that Ying Zhuer was pregnant was a confirmed fact, and it had spread throughout the capital.
Many people are wondering whether the emperor will allow the fifth prince to recognize this heir.
If Ying Zhuer gave birth to a son, she might become more honored as a mother because of the son.
The Fifth Prince not only didn't want the child in Ying Zhu'er's belly, he didn't want Ying Zhu'er himself.
He no longer had any feelings for Ying Zhu'er, but he gradually felt that he seemed to have developed feelings for Ying Xixi.
Ying Xixi is now avoiding the Fifth Prince as much as possible. She sneaks to the Night Prince's Mansion every day and tries her best to avoid seeing the Fifth Prince.
In any case, it is impossible for the Fifth Prince to come to the Night Palace on his own initiative.
The Fifth Prince didn't want Ying Zhu'er, so naturally he didn't care about the rumors in the capital.
But this matter involves the royal family's reputation.
When the emperor heard about it, he immediately ordered someone to investigate the matter of Ying Sili favoring his concubine and killing his wife, and Ying Zhuer being pregnant.
Turns out both of those things are true.
In order to save the royal family's face, the emperor directly granted the marriage and made Ying Zhu'er the concubine of the fifth prince.
If the child Ying Zhuer gave birth to was a son, he would be registered under the vacant title of the Fifth Prince's wife and become the eldest son.
The fifth prince rebelled, but how could he rebel against his father?
Before Ying Zhuer's belly bulged, two wedding sedan chairs carried Ying Zhuer into the Fifth Prince's mansion in a low-key manner.
Ying Zhuer was very happy. She finally became the fifth prince's concubine. It didn't matter even if she was not the principal wife. At least in this mansion, she was the first hostess!
It’s worth it that she has been pretending to be crazy for so long!
The fifth prince had no idea that from then on he would be completely entangled by Ying Zhuer, who had a legitimate identity.
Shortly after Ying Zhu'er became the fifth prince's concubine, the emperor also dealt with Ying Sili, who favored his concubine over his wife.
The emperor temporarily demoted Ying Sili from the position of prime minister, and would reinstate him when he reflected on his mistakes.
The Fufeng State was divided into the Left Prime Minister and the Right Prime Minister.
As the Left Prime Minister, Ying Sili is actually not as capable as the Right Prime Minister.
Ying Sili also knew that his abilities were limited. If he left the court for too long and came back, he would probably no longer have a place in it.
The important thing is, if after he leaves, the emperor finds out that it makes no difference whether he is there or not, then it will be very difficult for him to get his position back!
Ying Sili was temporarily dismissed from office, and when he returned home he began to drink all day long.
The reason why Lin was willing to become Ying Sili's concubine more than ten years ago was simply because Ying Sili was the prime minister.
Now Ying Sili has been dismissed from office and stays in the mansion all day long, which is an eyesore. The more Lin sees him, the more she dislikes him.
She no longer looked for him when she was lonely, and instead hung out with the guards in the mansion.
As for the mistress Zhao, she has made up her mind to divorce Ying Sili.
But the time is not right now.
The Chinese New Year is approaching. At the beginning of the new year, the countries surrounding Fufeng will send envoys to meet the Emperor of Fufeng.
In previous years, Ying Sili would also participate in this matter and help receive the envoys.
But this year, Ying Sili was temporarily dismissed from office, and he rarely entered the palace, let alone other places.
Ying Xixi heard that the King of Zhao from the neighboring Northern Wei Kingdom would personally bring envoys to Fufeng Kingdom, while the other countries would only send envoys.
Ying Xixi was a little curious, and when she was chatting with her adoptive mother Zhao, she couldn't help but mention King Zhao of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
"Mom, did the King of Zhao from the Northern Wei Kingdom also come here in person in previous years? I don't remember much about the past."
When Zhao heard the words "King Zhao", her hand holding the teacup trembled and she almost spilled the tea in the cup.
"Mother doesn't know either. She was bedridden before and rarely paid attention to these things."
Ying Xixi nodded. "That's right. I'll ask someone else then. I don't know why, but I'm quite curious about this King Zhao. Maybe it's because other countries only have envoys coming, but he, as a prince, has to come in person."
