"I've been so busy these past few days that I actually forgot about this. Taoist Wuliang has been invited here and is staying at the Prince's Mansion."
Xie Yunyin invited the Taoist priest back again.
It also cost a lot of money.
As Aunt Zhang said this, she went to invite him.
The person arrived in a short while.
Since the topic of consummating a marriage was a sensitive one, Xie Yunyin sent everyone away.
Then she said, "Master, please tell the prince again."
"My Lord, I have been traveling the world for many years and have seen many eighth sons of prominent nobles. Your eighth son is particularly special and has some incompatibility with Madam." The Taoist priest stroked his beard and sighed, looking a little embarrassed.
Li Yunzheng paused, "Master, please speak frankly."
"Everything needs to be done slowly now. If we act too hastily, it will affect the fortune of the palace and the future luck of our descendants. When I arrived at the palace today, I learned that you have two sons, neither of whom are your blood, but you raised them at your knees. You are really a rare good person!" The Taoist priest glanced at Xie Yunyin and said it with a stiff upper lip.
Li Yunzheng's face changed drastically as Xie Yunyin scolded him, "Nonsense! What are you talking about? They're not blood relatives! Come on, kick him out!"
"Princess, I'm not talking nonsense. Everything I said is true. One child is adopted, and the other is not of the Zhao family. His father should be in the north. The Crown Prince's biological child should be born and raised by you, Princess. You cannot consummate the marriage in the near future, otherwise the Prince's Mansion will be in calamity..."
Xie Yunyin stood up and apologized, "Sir, it was my fault for not checking carefully and inviting a fake Taoist priest to come here to make a living. Please don't take his words to heart. Hong'er is a good child, and his eyebrows and eyes are very similar to yours. He is definitely your child."
Li Yunzheng was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. "This isn't your fault, you don't need to apologize. Just kick him out if you're talking nonsense."
"He didn't say this when he came this morning. He only said we weren't suitable to have sex and that we had to wait a month. Who knew he would come back with this again now? I'm going to kick him out right now." As she spoke, she walked towards the door, "Shuangfu, bring some people and kick this Taoist priest out!"
In a moment, the Taoist priest was dragged away, but he was still shouting: "Prince, every word I said is true. I have been wandering the world for decades and have never made a mistake. Prince...if you don't believe me, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
Xie Yunyin scolded: "Shut his mouth and get him out of Bianjing as soon as possible!"
The sound gradually faded away, and Li Yunzheng's expression became extremely ugly.
Although he couldn't believe it, he still had doubts.
After all, when Sun Dier was with him in the barracks, she had a good relationship with a cook.
Thinking that Zhao Hong did not love reading like he did when he was a child, nor was he interested in martial arts like he was, he became more suspicious.
"Prince, I'm afraid that he will say something nonsense, and I'm still worried, so I'll go out and deal with it. Please wait for a moment." Xie Yunyin said when she saw Li Yunzheng's distraught look.
Li Yunzheng nodded, and Xie Yunyin quickly took people out.
The Taoist priest had already been thrown at the gate of the Prince's Mansion. Xie Yunyin looked around and said, "Master, please forgive my disrespect today. I have already found out that the child is indeed not of the Zhao family's bloodline. However, I am afraid that this scandal cannot be exposed. For the sake of the Prince's Mansion, no one in the Zhao Mansion will reveal this matter."
The Taoist nodded, knowing it, and sighed: "It's not easy to be the Crown Prince's Consort, I understand."
"Here is a hundred taels of silver. It would be better for you to leave the city overnight. If you wait for the prince to react, I'm afraid I won't be able to save your life." Xie Yunyin gave a kind reminder.
She also didn't want to lose a life in vain because of family disputes.
He could no longer persuade him, and the emperor had already become suspicious of him.
Moreover, there were treacherous ministers in the cabinet who had been slandering and trying to get rid of the Xie family.
Of course, he would find another way to at least save the lives of the Xie family members.
But he couldn't tell Xie Yunyin yet.
Seeing Xie Yunyin so sad, his heart was really torn.
He hadn't felt this heartbroken in a long time.
It's been a long time since I felt so heartbroken.
Seeing Xie Yunyin suffering and sad for another man, he felt unspeakable pain all over his body.
"Are you going to let me watch my father and brother die?" Xie Yunyin didn't know why, but she always felt that Lu Jin was so cold today.
"I'll go halfway to tell my father and brother not to come back. Is that okay?"
"You want to run away. You want to take your children and your mother with you to run away with them? Do you think you can leave the capital? Even if you leave the capital, Concubine Xian and Princess Kangning will definitely die! And Gu Yanying's sister will definitely die! Have you thought it through?" Lu Jin blocked all of Xie Yunyin's paths.
Xie Yunyin fell to her knees with a plop, "Master, please save my father and brother. You can ask for anything."
She was begging her, she was willing to give up everything, she would do anything for others.
"Oh?" Lu Jin deliberately expressed doubt and gave a playful smile.
"Yes, seal, everything is possible." Xie Yunyin was firm and also expressed her great determination.
Lu Jin stood up and walked towards her, looking down at her with a wicked smile, "I want you, you know? Right now, can you do it?"
So Lu Jin has a solution.
"But... can you wait until I get a divorce? I will still be a married woman." Xie Yunyin still has her dignity. She lost Gu Yanying, so what will happen to her in the future?
"Will you remain a virgin for Li Yunzheng, or be a chaste and heroic woman for Gu Yanying? It seems that you can't figure it out, Princess of the County!" After the ridicule, Lu Jin emphasized the three words "Princess of the County".
Xie Yunyin knew that Lu Jin would not wait any longer.
He seemed to have lost his patience.
If she were to find excuses now, she would probably not be able to save her father and brother.
She hugged Lu Jin's legs, looked up at him, tears in her eyes, and said, "I do."
"I don't want to see you like this. I especially remember the first time you came to the Seal Holder's Mansion, wearing that crimson dress. I want to see it again tonight." Lu Jin smiled evilly and said in a bewitching voice.
"Today is his funeral, and you want me to wear crimson?" Xie Yunyin asked sadly.
"But today is my wedding day, did you know that?"
What does that mean? Is it his birthday?
Then he walked away. Rulan came in and helped Xie Yunyin up: "Master, are you okay? Did he do anything to you?"
"It's okay. Did Shuangfu go to collect the body?" What she was concerned about at the moment was Gu Yanying's funeral.
"I went there, and after the people had dispersed, I bought a coffin and the body has been buried. But the burial can only be tonight. People are watching us right now."
"Okay, let's go back home first. I have something to do tonight, so you and Guixiang will oversee the burial in the back hills. Don't write the name on the tombstone for now."
"Yes, master, don't worry." Rulan agreed and took the handkerchief to tidy up Xie Yunyin.
Xie Yunyin's whole body was shaking, but she was completely unaware.
"I'm going to trouble you tonight. I'll be there later. Remember, don't alarm anyone inside or outside the mansion."
"Yes, Master."
