"Tell me more about it."
Lu Anyuan cleared his throat, and his carriage began to circle around the imperial city, taking the road where there were more people.
"In your Xu Mansion, you are the only one who visits her frequently, and you are also the one most likely to discover that she is a fake.
Sun Ziyou wanted to create the illusion that she suddenly went crazy and ruined your appearance. That way, regardless of whether you were really hurt or not, you would never go to the Sun Mansion again.
Your father would probably only give gifts during the New Year and not get too close."
"But according to my understanding, if the Sun Mansion wants to join forces with our Mansion, they should maintain close relations. Wouldn't this push us away?"
"You don't necessarily need to see each other often to stay close, right? As long as she's still the old general's daughter, as long as she's still the daughter-in-law of the Sun family, you'll definitely be in constant contact.
Moreover, the old general loves his daughter, and the more guilty he feels, the more he will help the Sun family, which is what they want."
Lu Anyuan handed the handkerchief out of the window and Ada took it. He must have asked someone to check it.
"You saw it too. There's something wrong with that nail. It smells weird. Someone must have tampered with it.
If you hurt your face, can you still marry me? If the emperor cancels the engagement because of this, of course, the emperor won't do that. The most likely scenario is that he instructed your father to ask for an imperial decree to cancel the engagement.
You are engaged to the prince, who would dare to marry you later? Then your fate can only be to die of old age at home, or to be buried in front of the Buddha.
In this way, even if your father is extremely reluctant, he will have no choice but to place his trust in the Sun family and help them wholeheartedly."
Lu Anyuan uttered these words word by word with his thin lips, revealing an expression of disgust from time to time. He really hated this trick.
If Yixing were truly injured today, the auspicious omen now circulating throughout the palace would likely transform into a vicious curse within a few days, slicing at Yixing. How would he protect her and keep her position as the Crown Prince's consort?
"Fortunately, you are okay." This is a thought that comes from the heart. Fortunately.
"Give me the dagger first." Xu Yixing interrupted Lu Anyuan's self-indulgence and reached out for the knife.
"Oh, here you go. But where did this come from? Why do you carry a dagger when you go out?"
"My brother gave it to me. He asked me to give it to the fake one. Humph!"
Xu Yixing took the dagger. It was a coincidence today. He had originally kept his own dagger in his boot, but the one Yiwen gave him was hidden in his sleeve. Otherwise, if he really wanted to take it out of his boot, he would have to bend down, which would be much slower.
"I guess Sun Ziyou couldn't have imagined that Yi Yan would actually marry the prince. The Sun family must have their own plans for the future crown prince. If our family were to marry you, we would definitely support you unconditionally, so why would we care about their opinions?"
Lu Anyuan smiled and said, "Don't keep talking about the crown prince, or you might get into trouble."
"Oh, marrying you is the biggest right and wrong, and you are still afraid of this." Xu Yixing rolled his eyes. It was only the second day after the marriage was granted, and someone couldn't hold back. Who knows how many dangers and right and wrongs are waiting for them in the future.
"By the way, why did you let the imperial physician treat her? Her face is really bad now, and it's probably impossible to diagnose a miscarriage. It would be useless even if he went."
Lu Anyuan's face suddenly turned red, and he seemed reluctant to talk about his plan, but he couldn't resist Xu Yixing's curious eyes and said it out:
"Not a doctor, but someone to attack her mind. I thought that since she was disfigured and imprisoned in the palace, she might not really be on the same page with my grandson. Maybe there's someone around who can pry her open. Using the identity of a doctor will make it less likely to arouse suspicion."
"Oh. But the chances of success are unlikely." Although Sun Ziyou would not stop the people sent by the Seventh Prince, he would certainly be on high alert and would probably not give her a chance to speak.
"Just give it a try, just in case. Also, you can rest assured that Mrs. Gu is dead."
"I see."
Lu Anyuan looked puzzled, but he quickly figured it out: "I forgot, you have at least nine shadow guards, so I don't need to tell you."
Xu Yixing seemed to hear a hint of jealousy in the tone, but she was not sure. How could someone be jealous of the shadow guard?
Never mind that. Xu Yixing then asked, "Have you come up with anything about the land inventory you mentioned last time?"
Lu Anyuan shook his head: "It's hard to say. Father doesn't seem to agree, but he doesn't object either. Let's wait and see after the New Year. If this doesn't work, we'll have to find another way. But don't worry, Yixing, I will definitely find a way to find you." The body.
Oh, this sounds really awkward...
"Okay, thank you anyway. But I really have a question. Do you know who the Sun family supports?" Xu Yixing always felt that the Sun family did not have a very obvious preference. Even after marrying into the Sun family, she did not hear any inside information.
"Which one it is, the Fifth Prince or the Sixth Prince? I haven't figured it out yet."
"Why are they the two..." Just like Xu Yixing's impression, the fifth and sixth princes, one of them was good at business, but he was not proud of it. After all, business was the path of the least learned.
The other was a sour-tempered man, fond of singing and dancing, and would have been a dashing prince at best, but he made no special political achievements. The emperor sent him to study at the Ministry of Works, but he achieved nothing, wasting his prime years.
"Fifth and Sixth Brothers don't have strong maternal families, so it's certainly easier to support them and they're closer."
"That's not right. When it comes to matters concerning our mother's family, you and the Fourth Prince are the ones who are of no help. Why not choose you?" After Xu Yixing finished speaking, he observed the Seventh Prince. He didn't show any pain or anger and didn't care.
"The Fourth Prince has an adopted mother, Concubine Ying, who holds a high position. She also has a biological son. With her standing in the way, how could the Fourth Prince possibly inherit the throne? As for me... maybe the Sun Mansion doesn't look down on me."
Xu Yixing knew that this was not entirely true. The Seventh Prince was the first among the princes to set up his own household. The Sun family must have contacted him early on, but for some reason, they did not stand on his side.
"Ah, I get it!" Xu Yixing slapped his forehead, figuring things out. "It's because you're not as clueless as you look. The Sun family wants to pick on the weak and indecisive type. You're not easy to manipulate, so they don't want you anymore!"
Lu Anyuan couldn't help laughing. It was the first time he heard such novel and interesting compliments. Yixing was indeed worthy of it!
"If you think so, I don't know whether to be happy or angry."
"But when I marry you, my father will definitely choose you, so don't worry."
It was the first time that Lu Anyuan heard such words, and he felt very strange in his heart. No one had ever said this before. No one had ever said "choose yourself", not even his father.
My father was generous, dividing his wealth between the imperial court, the harem, and the empire, leaving only a small amount for me and my brothers. And the seven of them were fighting all over, wasn't it just for this little bit of favor?
