Chapter 27: The Prince Regent is Infertile
When Mrs. Du heard this, she was stunned.
Her back was stiff and she couldn't believe it.
The Prince Regent was going to marry An Yunxi?
This was exactly what she heard, and it was the most shocking thing for her!
Compared with the Crown Prince, the Prince Regent was obviously more powerful now. Mrs. Du said with trembling lips: "I am really ignorant. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I didn't know it was Your Majesty. If I had known this earlier, I would have..."
"What do you mean by "definitely?"
Ling Fengxun's eyebrows were cold, and his eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.
Mrs. Du's scalp was numb, but she forced herself to speak.
"I will definitely send this girl to you"
Ling Fengxun was called the Living Prince in the capital by the women in the back house.
She also heard that the youngest son of Zhou Shangshu was beheaded by him on horseback because of his bad temper and disrespect to the Regent King.
No matter how Zhou Shangshu impeached him or asked the emperor for justice, the matter was eventually left unresolved.
No one mentioned it again after that.
You know, that was the most favored youngest son of Zhou Shangshu. He could kill him at will without paying any price.
How could she not be afraid of such a person?
Ling Fengxun lowered his eyebrows, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. When he raised his eyes, he saw Madam An and Marquis Anguo also looking at him in a daze.
There was confusion in his eyes, but he saw Marquis Anguo smiled and said, "It has to be the prince!"
Madam An was really a little surprised.
She thought about when she came out, she told Ling Fengxun that this was the family affair of the Marquis' Mansion and asked him not to interfere.
If she had known that the Regent King could make the naughty Old Lady Du behave herself with just one word, she should not have said that.
She was thinking this when she heard Ling Fengxun say, "Aunt, I don't mean to interfere in the family affairs of the Marquis' Mansion."
This made Madam An feel embarrassed.
"No, it's a good thing that you, the prince, came forward."
After all, Old Lady Du was the stepmother of her and the Marquis of Anguo.
With the pressure of filial piety coming down on her, she really couldn't do anything about it.
Old Lady Du was full of grievances and had nowhere to vent. At this moment, she was kneeling on the ground with Liu Xiyue.
After a long time, Ling Fengxun didn't ask them to get up. They didn't dare to move at all, and even their knees began to hurt.
Ling Fengxun nodded slightly, without taking credit for it. He just told the truth, nothing more.
"Axi, it's getting late."
An Yunxi understood that Ling Fengxun meant to take her back home.
After all this trouble, it was already noon.
Madam An had woken up, so An Yunxi naturally didn't have to worry anymore.
"Okay, I'll go back with the prince."
Madam Du's eyelids twitched.
She turned her head subconsciously to look over.
An Yunxi was going back with the Regent?
Where to go!
When she looked over, Ling Fengxun had already taken An Yunxi's hand and walked out.
The intimacy was obvious, and he was not afraid of being seen by others, as if he was declaring his sovereignty over her in front of everyone.
Seeing the Regent Prince leave, Madam Du sat down on the ground with sweat on her forehead.
Liu Xiyue was not much better.
"Mother, when did An Yunxi get together with the Regent Prince? This way, I'm afraid her marriage with the prince won't be possible."
"No wonder that girl is so arrogant, it turns out that someone is backing her up and she has become powerful!"
Marquis An went out to see the guests off, and only Madam An, whose body had not yet fully recovered, stayed there. After hearing the two people's discussion, her face immediately turned cold.
"Mother and sister-in-law, now you should see clearly who is standing behind Xier. If you really make that person unhappy, you will lose your heads."
Old Madam Du's face turned pale: "Du Linglan, don't be complacent. Everyone knows that the Regent was injured on the battlefield and can't have children! What if she, An Yunxi, marries him? A woman without children will be abandoned by the Regent when he gets tired of her, right?" She took
a deep breath, and then continued to persuade: "It would be great to marry the prince. When the prince ascends the throne, if she has a child in the future, she will be the empress, and her son will become the crown prince. I, your grandmother, am also thinking about her. How many women are vying for the position of the Crown Princess, doesn't she know?"
Although Old Madam Du's character is not very good, what she said is not unreasonable.
After hearing her say that the Regent Prince was injured and could no longer have children, Madam An's face turned ugly.
She clenched her fingers hanging at her side slightly. She almost forgot about this matter.
Because no one mentioned it for too long.
The Regent Prince was injured on the battlefield five years ago. After returning, the imperial physician diagnosed that he could no longer have children. Although outsiders did not know how serious the injury was, there was indeed no woman around the Regent Prince in these years.
He was already twenty-six years old, and the children of other royal relatives had all run away.
But he was still alone.
It was at that time that the emperor was completely relieved about him and handed the power to him, because even if Ling Fengxun seized the throne, he would have no heirs to inherit it, and the probability of him rebelling was greatly reduced.
Is Xier going to marry such a Regent?
A woman without a child has no one to rely on. Madam An frowned slightly, and inexplicably worried about her daughter's future.
But she still spoke softly: "As long as the prince likes Xier, she can also adopt his offspring in the future. She is the Princess of Xian, and it doesn't make any difference whether she is a biological daughter or not. Even if the position of the Crown Princess is good, my daughter doesn't like it, so don't want it."
"You and An Yunxi are worthy of being mother and daughter. You are really short-sighted!" Madam Du couldn't help but scold.
Madam An smiled, and the light in her eyes was still gentle: "The Regent is very good. He has always protected Xier. It can be seen that he really likes Xier. It is better than marrying a beast that is not a human being."
Madam An meant something.
Maybe she was talking about the prince who betrayed An Yunxi, or maybe she was talking about General An.
Mrs. An learned from Mrs. Du that General An came last night. He must have heard about her coma, but he did not come to visit her. He
was always busy trying to stop his daughter from breaking off the engagement.
Mrs. An never doubted General An before. Sometimes a man might be busy outside and not be able to take care of the family. She also understood him very well.
But now, all those insignificant little things are slowly replaying in her mind.
For example,
