The Queen Mother watched Bei Ming Yulan run away, then she said to Bei Ming Xuan, "I think Lan'er is very dependent on you."
"Perhaps it's because, in this royal family, only my grandson and Lan'er have a small age difference."
"You know what I mean." The Queen Mother glanced at Manager Li and motioned her to take people out.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother." Bei Mingxuan assured, "Even if Lan'er is interested, it's in vain. Big brother won't agree, and father won't agree either.
Big brother didn't let Lan'er come to my house, I guess he must have seen through Lan'er's intentions a long time ago."
The Empress Dowager's face was filled with regret. "You are the youngest of the Emperor's sons, and now it's time for you to get married. If it weren't for that girl Chang'an who ruined her face, I would really want to match you two up."
Qingfeng saved you back then, so you will surely not treat Changan unfairly. Now it is just a thought."
"Grandmother, you don't have to worry about your grandson." Bei Mingxuan said, "Don't even mention the scar on Chang'an's face. Just because Chang'an's grandfather was the monarch of the Southern Kingdom, my father wouldn't let his son and Chang'an have a relationship.
Such good resources should be reserved for either Fourth Brother or the Crown Prince. Now that my grandson has the protection of the Imperial Grandmother, I am already very satisfied and dare not expect anything else."
The Queen Mother was filled with resentment, "The Emperor is truly foolish. He still can't get over it after all these years. His own son has been neglected to this extent.
Do you know that your mother is still counting on you to see the light of day again, I am also counting on you, and my entire Xu family relies on you, Bei Mingxuan."
The Empress Dowager's family, the Xu clan, was implicated and fell into decline when Concubine Tong got into trouble.
Today's Xu family is just a facade.
Bei Mingxuan lowered his head, "Now all I can do is to reassure Father. Only when Father is at ease will Mother be safe, and the Xu family will not become a thorn in the eyes of everyone.
The Imperial Grandmother is my father's biological mother, so my father naturally respects and loves you. With you in the palace, no one else will embarrass my mother."
"I am old, and one day I will have to leave.
By then, will the women in the palace, especially the Queen, let your mother go? "The Queen Mother was also helpless, "I see your difficulties, but I can't blame you... Go back, I'm tired."
"Yes." Bei Mingxuan left.
Before he even stepped out of the palace, Bei Ming Yulan came out jogging after him.
"Uncle Jiu, wait for Lan'er." Bei Ming Yulan was holding the imperial edict from the emperor. "I'll tell you a secret."
"Hmm?" Bei Mingxuan was puzzled.
Bei Ming Yulan looked around and said, "This is not the place to talk."
"Then would your father agree that you go with me?" Bei Mingxuan smiled.
"I agree." Bei Ming Yulan happily took Bei Ming Xuan's arm, "Look, this is the emperor's decree, and the emperor also said that from now on, not only your uncle's mansion, but even going to the general's mansion to find Chang'an is also allowed.
With this imperial edict in hand, my father no longer has to worry."
"Let's go." Bei Mingxuan said as he got into the same carriage with Bei Ming Yulan.
In the carriage.
Bei Ming Yulan whispered, "Uncle Jiu, it turns out that something big happened in the General's Mansion.
As soon as I left with the imperial edict, I saw the Queen Mother walking towards the Emperor's palace with an angry look on her face.
I was curious, so I sneaked back. Guess what I heard?
"You're still going back secretly?" Bei Mingxuan scolded, "Aren't you worried that your father will see you and the Queen will catch you and punish you?"
"With Grandpa Emperor here, the Queen wouldn't dare, and neither would my father." Bei Ming Yulan said proudly, "When I return to the mansion, I still have my mother to protect me."
Bei Mingxuan smiled dotingly and said nothing more.
"The Empress is going to find Grandfather Emperor on behalf of Fourth Uncle." Bei Ming Yulan's eyes were filled with obvious disdain. "In the end, it's all about relying on the power behind a woman."
Bei Mingxuan could guess what Princess Yulan was referring to.
Bei Ming Yulan said with a hint of indignation, "I heard Chang An say before that Fourth Uncle was so good to me, and that Fourth Uncle didn't mind the scar on Chang An's face. It seemed that he had promised Chang An that if Grandpa Emperor allowed, Fourth Uncle would marry Chang An.
But last night, my fourth uncle had physical contact with my cousin from Chang'an at the General's house."
"Don't talk nonsense." Bei Mingxuan pretended to be surprised and stopped Bei Ming Yulan.
"Lan'er wouldn't lie about something this serious. Uncle Jiu doesn't believe it?" Bei Ming Yulan immediately assured her, "If I, Bei Ming Yulan, tell Uncle Jiu a single lie, I will be struck by lightning."
"Why are you swearing? Uncle Jiu believes you." Bei Mingxuan looked helpless.
Bei Ming Yulan continued, "The Empress went to see Grandfather Emperor precisely for this matter. The Empress wanted to make it happen, but Grandfather Emperor refused, saying that the royal family's reputation couldn't be ignored, and the Crown Prince's reputation couldn't be ignored.
He also said that this might have been done intentionally by his fourth uncle, who wanted to gain the support of General Qingyun so that he could compete with the prince.
Grandfather Huang even suspected that the Queen might be involved in this matter, otherwise how could Fourth Uncle dare to do so."
"You mean, the emperor suspects that the queen has given Bei Ming Ye a hint?" Bei Ming Xuan didn't expect that the queen could be involved.
"I hear, that's what I mean."
"What happened later?" Bei Mingxuan asked.
Bei Ming Yulan thought for a moment, "The Queen was very angry and said that the Emperor was biased towards the Crown Prince.
The Emperor was angry and banned the Queen from coming out, saying that she was not allowed to come out until the matter was resolved, and that Fourth Uncle was not allowed to see the Queen.
He also said that if Gu Shijia really lost her innocence, she would have no choice but to die. He also handed the matter over to my father to investigate, and it was a secret investigation.
Bei Mingxuan sighed, "This is really putting me in a difficult position, big brother. If you think about it carefully, no one is someone I can offend. I just don't know what the Crown Prince thinks about this matter."
"Who knows?" Bei Ming Yulan thought, "This is really embarrassing for my father. Could it be that Grandpa Emperor did this on purpose?"
"Haha." Bei Mingxuan cast an admiring glance. "Among all the princes, only the eldest brother is the most steady. He is also the eldest prince, so it is understandable that your grandfather entrusted this matter to him."
Bei Ming Yulan curled her lips and said, "Grandpa Emperor asked my father to investigate. If it is found that Gu Shijia has lost his innocence, Grandpa Emperor will definitely want Gu Shijia to die. In this way, my father will offend the General's Mansion, and not only will he offend the General's Mansion, but he will also bring shame to the Crown Prince.
If it is found out that Gu Shijia and Fourth Uncle were in a consensual relationship, then the Crown Prince will be offended.
Let these two people hate my father at the same time. Fourth Uncle has the Queen and the Left Prime Minister behind him, while the Crown Prince has the Right Prime Minister behind him. In this way, no matter what my father does, he will offend these three groups of people."
Bei Ming Xuan stopped talking and closed his eyes to rest, looking as if he was asleep. This kind of thing really can only be understood but not strictly enforced, and Bei Ming Yulan is also considered smart. If it were any other woman, Bei Ming Xuan would have to spend some time to remind her.
Bei Ming Yulan muttered softly, "Mother said that the emperor likes to maintain balance and to restrict each other in the court. This is called the art of emperorship."
