When Ye Wang and Ying Xixi met each other's eyes, he felt a little shy and his ears began to turn red again.
“Miss, don’t think that our prince was quite aloof and ignored you before.
But when you were in the yard, the prince would hide in the house and peek at you like a thief."
The guard noticed his prince's red ears and gossiped about it to Ying Xixi.
Ying Xixi was quite surprised. "No wonder I used to feel goosebumps on my back from time to time, as if someone was staring at me. It turns out it's real."
Night King: "..."
He gave the guard a glare, and the guard smiled awkwardly and gestured to sew his mouth shut.
"Xixi, I've already told my brother the emperor about the marriage this morning. Once we've chosen an auspicious date, the imperial decree will be issued."
The Night King spoke gently, his tone full of joy, and the way he looked at Ying Xixi made Ying Xixi feel that the Night King at this moment was like a child who had done a good deed and was eagerly waiting for praise from adults.
"The Emperor has also told me about this. Your Highness, are you really planning to marry me? Once you've made this decision, you can't go back on your word."
"Xixi, I've made up my mind. I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you. I won't change this decision easily."
The Night King looked at Ying Xixi seriously and spoke word by word.
"Okay, let's talk about other things first. Your Majesty, can I come in?"
Ying Xixi pointed inside the house.
"sure."
Ying Xixi entered the room for the second time. Unlike the last time, this room was finally brightly lit.
The furnishings in the room are low-key but luxurious, and look very refreshing.
Ying Xixi sat down at the table. "Your Highness, can you tell me about the three brides? This is what I've always been curious about."
The Night King nodded, "I was planning to tell you this today, Xixi. I'm not unlucky with my wife, nor am I doomed to be alone.
Those three brides were not killed by me.
The reason why this rumor spread outside was partly because I fanned the flames, but the other part was because my royal brother said it on purpose.
You should have heard that before my brother came to the throne, he killed all the brothers except me who might threaten his throne.
It's true, I escaped death because I had disabled legs.
I pretended to be disabled and had no interest in the throne, and that’s how I escaped.”
"Yes, I have heard of this, but your legs, you didn't cover them up in the palace, wouldn't the emperor's spies find them?"
Ying Xixi always felt that the emperor had many and powerful spies.
If it is discovered that the King of Night is pretending to have disabled legs, the consequences of deceiving the king will be unimaginable.
"No, I have cleared out all the spies in the mansion. They are all our own people. There are no more spies."
Ying Xixi nodded, "That's good."
"Those three brides were actually spies sent by my royal brother to monitor me. But what my royal brother didn't know was that each of them had a man they loved.
What the emperor is doing is to separate lovers, and they naturally don't want that.
On the wedding night, they all confessed their identities and told me which people in the palace were my brother's spies.
They used this as a bargaining chip to get me to secretly send them out of the capital.
Therefore, I cleared out all the spies in the palace and replaced them with my own people."
After the Night King explained this, Ying Xixi also understood.
"So the three of them faked their own deaths and left?"
"Yes, this is the best solution. It was because of the death of the three of them that my reputation as a wife-killer emerged in the capital.
Xixi, now you know that I am not unlucky with my wife."
The Night King explained honestly.
Ying Xixi felt a little amused when she saw the look in the Night King's eyes.
"I know, but even if you're really unlucky with your wife, it's okay. I'm pretty lucky."
Ying Xixi stayed with Ye Wang for the whole morning, talked about the preparations needed before the wedding, and had lunch with Ye Wang before leaving.
Ying Xixi didn't take the carriage, but planned to walk back, just as a stroll.
Then I heard about Ying Mansion on the way.
"The Prime Minister's residence has been ransacked! Oh my god, it's so scary!"
"What did the Prime Minister do to deserve the confiscation of his family's property? Isn't the Prime Minister's concubine the Fifth Prince's concubine? How could the Prime Minister's concubine's daughter watch her own family being confiscated?"
"Well, she's just a concubine. Even if she doesn't want to watch, there's nothing she can do.
It has even reached the point of confiscating all property. It goes without saying that the Prime Minister's mistakes must have angered the Emperor."
"That's right. I wonder if this matter will implicate the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter. If so, it would be a disaster for the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter."
"Who knows? Let's wait and see. Now everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion has been controlled. I wonder if the Emperor will send someone to where the Prime Minister's daughter and her mother live."
.......
The Prime Minister's daughter Ying Xixi listened to the people's discussions and ate melons all the way.
It seems that the emperor acted quite quickly. He had already taken control of the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion within this morning.
Then Ying Zhuer should also know this news.
It can be said that Ying Zhuer played an "indispensable role" in the end of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After all, if Ying Zhuer hadn't done this, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion could have lived a peaceful life for a while longer.
As for what the system said about not letting Ying Zhuer go, she would wait until Ying Zhuer came to her door before taking action.
Now let’s prepare for her marriage to the Night King.
After Ying Xixi returned, she told Zhao the news that the emperor had decreed the marriage. After being surprised, Zhao was very happy and wanted to help Ying Xixi prepare wedding clothes, quilts and other things.
After being happy for a while, Zhao couldn't help but sigh.
"It's a pity that your father is gone too, otherwise he could still witness your big day."
"Mother, it's okay. Father's departure doesn't mean he won't come back. Next time he comes, he can come back without the identity of King Zhao."
When Ying Xixi first heard what Zhao said, she thought that her adoptive father, Prince Zhao, was dead.
A few days later, the emperor's edict on the punishment of Ying Sili came down.
All the dirty things Ying Sili did, such as embezzling disaster relief funds, deceiving his superiors and subordinates, raising private soldiers, and attempting to rebel, were exposed.
The emperor directly ordered the death penalty for Ying Sili, and he was beheaded at the Meridian Gate three days later.
As for the people in Ying Mansion, except for the servants who were found innocent after interrogation and had not participated in Ying Sili's dirty deeds, all the others were exiled to the frontier.
As for the property in Ying Mansion, it will be confiscated.
After this incident was exposed, everyone in Beijing was in an uproar.
Any one of Ying Sili's crimes would make everyone despise him.
No one expected that Ying Sili, a prime minister who looked like a decent person, would actually do such things!
