Chapter 162: Imperial Decree of Marriage
The ministers below looked at each other, and then subconsciously looked at Ling Fengxun.
Who doesn't know about the affair between Ling Fengxun and the general's legitimate daughter An Yunxi? The prince
was kidnapped by the emperor's uncle on the wedding night, and the prince went to the house to find his wife but failed, and was beaten.
Later, they heard that the prince had been having an affair with the concubine's sister of his fiancee's family, so the eldest lady of the An family took the initiative to elope with the emperor's uncle Anyway
, there were all kinds of rumors in the market, and people couldn't tell which one was the truth.
The only one who really understood was the regent Ling Fengxun, who fell in love with the eldest lady of the An family and wanted to marry her.
Emperor Beiling's eyes darkened slightly, and he suddenly chuckled and said, "I have decided to cancel this marriage!"
This short sentence made Ling Fengyan raise his eyes suddenly. He looked at the emperor above with deep eyes, and his mood finally fluctuated very obviously.
He has been waiting for this moment for a long time
. The prince's expression was also full of surprise and joy.
He didn't like An Yunxi in the first place, but his father forced him to marry her, which made him very upset.
Now that this marriage has finally been cancelled, the happiest person must be him!
And the ministers were instantly shocked.
"Your Majesty, isn't this marriage the will
of the late emperor? How can it be so easy?" Hearing this, the emperor said seriously: "Of course I have thought about this matter carefully. I can't just cancel the engagement between the An family and the prince. However, the old national teacher returned to the capital from Liangshan Temple recently and told me a secret."
All the officials listened attentively.
They were all curious about what the secret was.
You know, violating the will of the late emperor is a big deal!
Emperor Beiling sighed and slowly explained.
"The old national teacher told me personally that General An's eldest daughter, An Yunxi, has a fate of killing her husband. If she marries the prince now, it will definitely bring disaster to the country of Beiling. I made this decision for the country and the people."
"So that's it, Your Majesty is wise!"
Suddenly, someone among the ministers took the lead and spoke.
Afterwards, the ministers who were still curious about the truth of the matter reacted and immediately began to agree one after another.
"Your Majesty is very righteous for the sake of the people of the world!"
Countless praises came from all over the world, making Emperor Beiling very happy.
Before, he placed all his hopes on the prince, believing that letting the prince ascend the throne and marry An Yunxi was the only way out for the future of Beiling.
But now it's different.
His body has recovered.
There is still a long time in the future, and there is no rush to pass the throne to the prince, so the marriage between the prince and An Yunxi has become dispensable.
In order to stabilize Ling Fengxun, he gave the other party a face and canceled the marriage. What's the problem?
Why doesn't he do something that is good for both of them!
He fulfilled Ling Fengxun's wish, so there was no reason for him to go against him again, and with An Yunxi's weakness, from now on, Ling Fengxun would have nothing to fear.
He had no way to control the other party before, but now Ling Fengxun is no longer invincible.
Together, they are moving towards perfection.
Ling Fengxun lowered his eyes to hide the excitement in his eyes.
He originally thought that this matter would have to be completely resolved after Emperor Beiling died, but he didn't expect a sudden turn of events.
An Yunhe's sudden move changed the course of everything. He didn't need to take too much risk to marry Xiao Xier!
After everyone congratulated him, the emperor looked at the prince with a smile on his face.
"Changyue, don't you like the little girl of the An family? I allow you to marry her as the Crown Princess. I have not violated the late emperor's will by allowing you to marry the daughter of the An family as your concubine."
This surprise came too suddenly.
The prince looked up at his father in disbelief.
"Father, are you telling the truth?"
His tone was filled with excitement that could hardly be concealed.
Emperor Beiling raised his eyebrows slightly, with a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.
"Of course, would I lie to you?"
The prince almost knelt on the ground in an instant, "Thank you, father, for fulfilling your son's wish!"
He knelt on the throne room, his heart full of gratitude.
For this moment, he and Ruxue have been waiting for too long!
Because of his engagement with An Yunxi, he couldn't be with Ruxue openly. Even when she was pregnant, she could only be a concubine by his side. She
didn't even have a proper identity.
None of the promises he made to Xue'er had come true!
Emperor Beiling had a kind face.
"Get up. I was too impatient before. Now that your father is well, you just want to marry a woman. Why would I stop you?"
Whether it was the Crown Princess or the concubine, it didn't matter to the current Emperor Beiling.
The Crown Prince was still young and frivolous, so it didn't matter if he had a few women.
As for whether he would still remember this Crown Princess after he ascended the throne,
that was hard to say.
The Crown Prince was overwhelmed by the surprise.
After he stood up, his eyes were shining when he looked at his father. It was obvious that most of his resentment towards his father had disappeared.
But when he turned his head to look at Ling Fengxun, there was still a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
He had to avenge his mother!
Emperor Beiling was very satisfied with the prince's reaction, which was exactly what he expected.
Finally, he returned his gaze to Ling Fengxun.
"The old national teacher said that only the fate of the regent king can suppress An Yunxi's fate. I think that the two of you are a perfect match made in heaven. If I were to arrange a marriage for you two today, I wonder if King Xian would be willing?"
Ling Fengxun stared at the ground.
His fingers kept clenching and unclenching.
Is it finally here?
He took the initiative to walk out from among the officials, took a few steps forward, and stood in front of the emperor to salute.
"Your Majesty, I am willing."
These four simple words were filled with so much expectation and emotion.
Ling Fengxun's voice became a little deeper and hoarse.
Emperor Beiling was not surprised at his answer at all.
The corners of his lips rose slightly.
"My dear ministers, I am doing this to help others, not to force King Xian to marry a woman who is unlucky in marriage."
He made it clear first.
Let the officials know that all this is what Ling Fengxun wants.
If he is really killed by accident one day, don't blame him. When
the officials heard the emperor's words, of course they didn't dare to refute.
Ling Fengxun had already stood up and looked up at the emperor.
"As long as the emperor gives Xiao Xier to me in marriage, I will be responsible for my future!"
Emperor Beiling laughed.
"Well, King Xian is really courageous. If it were someone else, knowing the fate told by the national master himself, they would definitely run as far as possible."
