This time, although the emperor did not grant the marriage, Xi Wuxue still came to find Yuan Zhan.
She said the same words in the original plot again, but this time Yuan Zhan was not sad at all. He looked at Li Wuxue crying with an expressionless face, and his heart was calm.
"Don't worry, Miss Xi. I won't marry a wife for now, and I won't marry you either."
Xu Wuxue felt uncomfortable, and without thinking too much, she said, "At least this is the case. The relationship between you and me is simply not suitable. Let's not force it."
Yuan Zhan looked at Xi Wuxue's departing back indifferently, then turned and left.
War Palace
Eunuch Qiu Tong walked in.
"Your Highness, would you like to visit the queens of the various palaces?"
Yuan Zhan had been in the capital for more than ten days, but he had not made a special trip to visit the concubines in the palace.
“No hurry.”
He waved Qiu Tong away and recalled some of the situations he had investigated over the years.
Currently the Queen has passed away and the throne is vacant. Her son is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Concubine Sheng is the favorite in the harem and has always been a popular candidate for the Queen. She has the second prince, Prince Su, under her name and does not get along with the Crown Prince.
Yuan Zhan's biological mother, Concubine Wan, just like her name, has always been synonymous with gentleness and virtuousness.
However, the reputation she gained from giving birth to the third prince Yuan Zhan after Concubine Sheng was probably just a false reputation.
Yuan Zhan picked up a few pieces of letter paper, on which were written the specific events of the palace riot that year. Yuan Zhan had specially sent people to investigate.
At that time, the emperor wanted to reduce the power of the princes, which forced Prince Liu to rebel. Prince Liu led his troops to attack the capital with the help of internal and external forces. The palace was in chaos. The emperor fled in a hurry under the escort of General Chen You. The palace maids and eunuchs fled the palace one after another. Concubine Wan, who had just given birth to Yuan Zhan, was just outside the palace.
Pursued by the rebels, the prince fled in panic. Most of his guards had been killed, leaving only two eunuchs with him. The three of them fled to Concubine Wan's residence. Concubine Wan had just entered Concubine Hui's side hall. Concubine Hui had already left the palace. There were still more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, so she directed everyone to escort the prince away.
As the rebels were closing in on them, Yuan Zhan was still young and in the innermost side room, so there was no way to go back to rescue him. In addition, babies were prone to crying during the escape, so Concubine Wan gave up her own son and fled with the four-year-old prince in her arms.
In the end, it was the palace maid who swept the floor who picked up Yuan Zhan and climbed out of a hidden dog hole to escape. Originally, the palace maid thought that she could return to the palace to receive credit for escorting the crown prince, but when she was returning home, she was robbed on the way, so she simply left the baby aside and ran away.
More than ten years had passed since the incident, and the prince had long since become history, but Concubine Wan, by virtue of her contribution in saving the crown prince, rose from a lowly lady to become Concubine Wan.
Tu Yufan also read the letter. Concubine Wan was born a palace maid and was fortunate to give birth to Yuan Zhan. She was not qualified to raise him, but now she has lost this son. Because of her meritorious service in escorting the prince, she was promoted step by step to Concubine Wan, and finally successfully gave birth to the sixth prince Yuan Xi. What an inspirational life.
No wonder Concubine Wan was unhappy when the male protagonist appeared.
This reminded her of her past meanness and cold-bloodedness. How could a woman who abandoned her own children be called gentle and virtuous?
It also reminded her of her past humbleness, as she was a prince born to a lady, looked down upon in everything and had no right to raise her own son.
"Your Highness, what do you think about this matter?"
"Dad, you don't have to be so distant from me." Yuan Zhan was quite pleased with Tu Yufan's address.
Seeing that he looked a bit stubborn, Tu Yufan had no choice but to change his words: "Zhan'er, you still have a solid foundation now, so don't act like this in front of others to avoid giving others a chance to criticize you."
