"I...Prince, I..." Dongxue looked at Bei Mingxuan in surprise, and looked at Fu Xueer who was kneeling on the ground.
The bloodstains on the ground instantly made her realize that Bei Mingxuan was punishing Fu Xueer. "Your Highness, where is my young lady? I have something to report."
"Tingyu Pavilion."
"I won't disturb the prince anymore." After saying that, Dongxue walked out of the room in an orderly manner, closed the door, and ran towards Tingyu Pavilion.
There was no doubt that Dongxue herself had told Chang'an what she had seen, "Miss, there is one more thing. The master asked me to tell you that the wedding date for the Crown Prince and Miss Shijia has been set. It will be at the beginning of next month, and he has specifically instructed that the news must not be leaked."
Changan was surprised, "Decided?"
Dongxue thought for a moment, "The master told me this alone, and only the old general, the great general, and the master knew about it. Aunt Wanxin also said that she had been in Shuzhou for so many years and had never returned to the Southland. Now she wants to go back and see her family, so she asked me to tell the young lady that I will not come to Prince Xuan's mansion to say goodbye to her."
"Aunt Wanxin has suffered a lot over the years." Chang'an knew that Wanxin had accepted his mission and returned to Fushengmen.
At this moment, Chang'an was thinking about the question Bei Mingxuan had just asked him, "What do you think of the emperor?" "Dongxue, tell Bei Mingxuan about this."
"yes."
Changan frowned, thinking to himself.
Yes, what kind of person is the emperor? If he lets the prince marry Gu Shijia at this time, it must be for the prince.
But even so, could General Qin let the Crown Prince and Princess Huiwen go?
Although the emperor has no ambition and dotes on the prince, he is not stupid.
But what was the reason that made him always favor the prince? Chang'an didn't believe that the emperor could just hand over the kingdom of Shuzhou to the hands of this fool, the prince.
Soon, Chang'an heard Bei Mingxuan's footsteps and looked up to see him walking towards him.
"Have you ever doubted the emperor's preference for the prince?"
Bei Mingxuan frowned, "What do you want to say?"
"Don't you think that the Emperor's preference for the Crown Prince is almost pathological? Especially for the Crown Prince, he even poisoned Lin Shangde."
"Sick?"
Bei Mingxuan never thought about it.
"What's wrong?"
Chang'an frowned, "Firstly, everyone now, even the people of the entire Shuzhou City, already know that the prince is the owner of the Gambling Pavilion.
There was a lot of opposition to the prince among the people, but the emperor was not someone who ignored public opinion.
Secondly, General Qin is a veteran of two dynasties, and he is also the father-in-law of the eldest prince and General Gu. Would he ignore the balance in the court in order to protect the prince?
The third is Lin Shangde’s matter.”
"You have a preconceived notion." Bei Mingxuan said directly, "Firstly, there are many things that the people oppose. Wouldn't it be tragic if an emperor was influenced by the people?
Secondly, although the prince was the owner of the Game Pavilion, he did not do anything to harm the people. Moreover, the person who actually killed someone was Princess Huiwen, and the prince was just implicated.
Thirdly, regarding the matter of Lin Shangde, although the Emperor favors the Crown Prince, he still takes into account the balance of power within the court. Otherwise, Lin Shangde would not have been poisoned in secret by the Emperor.
Chang'an didn't say anything.
"Don't forget our true purpose." Bei Mingxuan reminded, "However, our biggest enemy may not only be Bei Mingye, but also the Crown Prince."
"Yes, the Gambling Pavilion incident was originally designed by us to target Bei Ming Ye." Chang An sighed, feeling truly exhausted. "It was I who got stuck in a dead end."
"Your Highness." Fu Cheng came over. "Mr. Li, the steward of the Queen Mother's household, is here. He said the Queen Mother wants the Princess to enter the palace."
Bei Mingxuan glanced at Chang'an and said, "It must be because of the women who just entered the mansion today."
"The Queen Mother's information is very accurate." Chang'an curled his lips, "I wonder if the Emperor will get the news earlier than the Queen Mother."
"I'm sure most people in the court already know about this by now." Bei Mingxuan glared at Chang'an, "And Princess Xuan is even more famous."
Changan smiled sweetly, "Thank you for the compliment."
Bei Mingxuan gritted his teeth, "Be humble!"
Fu Cheng and Dong Xue, who were guarding the attic and the door to the stairs, looked at each other, their eyes full of question marks.
What is going on between the prince and princess... Dongxue thought, anyway, her young lady is pretty good.
Fu Cheng thought, the prince was defeated!
Chang'an followed Master Li to the palace, and it was already completely dark.
"Chang'an meets the Queen Mother." Chang'an thought that the Emperor and Concubine Tong were also in the Queen Mother's palace.
I didn't expect that the Queen Mother would be alone.
"Hurry up and get up." The Queen Mother's face was full of smiles. "Come here and let the Empress Dowager see you."
Chang An walked over and saw that the Queen Mother had a big smile on her face, but her eyes were misty. "Grandma, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"
The Queen Mother was amused by Chang An's words. "You, I am the Queen Mother. Who dares to make me angry? You are talking nonsense."
Changan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It's Changan's fault, Changan was confused, the Empress Dowager must not blame Changan.
Changan was always bullied before, so seeing the tears in Grandma Huang's eyes, that's why... so, I said it without even thinking.
"You are such a kind girl after all." The Queen Mother patted Chang'an's hand and asked her to sit next to her. "Your father and mother were here just now, but the Queen Mother wanted to say a few kind words to you, so she asked them to leave."
Chang'an blinked at the Queen Mother with his big eyes, his eyes were bright and pure.
The Queen Mother looked at Chang'an with both joy and heartache, "Girl, are you feeling wronged?"
"What did the Empress Dowager say? How could Chang'an feel wronged?" Chang'an smiled.
"Changan feels very lucky. Being alive is a miracle in itself, and Changan will naturally cherish it. A person's life is happy and smooth, Changan believes that it depends on whether he can think it through. If he is stubborn and obsessed with something, then he can't blame others."
Hearing Chang'an's words, the Queen Mother felt even more distressed for Chang'an, "It's the royal family that has let you down, it's Xuan'er that has let you down."
Chang'an was suddenly confused, not knowing where the Queen Mother's words came from.
Chang'an didn't say anything, but listened quietly with a smile on his lips.
"Today, the Empress Dowager understands why your mother tried so hard to stop the Emperor from marrying Yu Xuan'er."
The Queen Mother spoke softly with a strong sense of regret.
"If the poison in Xuan'er's body cannot be cured, then you will be wronged.
In the heart of the Empress Dowager, you and Xuan'er are equally important. Now, I, the Empress Dowager, truly regret it and feel even more indebted to you."
