No, we should be interrogating Xie Yuancheng now. Given his circumstances, how could he not be married in ancient times? There must be a reason. I never imagined he would fight on the battlefield for a woman, and that woman was someone else.
I clenched my fists and continued, "By the way, Wan'er, how did Lü Yan end up marrying the Crown Prince?"
Wan'er shook her head: "I don't know about that, but I heard that Marquis Anle fell ill because of her and never recovered until I saw him in the palace last time. But Lüyan is such a bad choice. Marquis Anle has such a good appearance and status. Although his rank is not as high as the Crown Prince, he is much better off in Linyang than in the palace."
I don't know how to feel right now. "What does Lü Yan look like?"
Wan'er shook her head: "I have never seen her. I have only heard that her smile is captivating and she is truly the most beautiful woman in the Great Zhao. I also heard from Xiren that when Marquis Anle married last time, he announced to the public that his wife's name was Lüyan. He must have been missing her so much that he married someone who looked like her."
The folding fan in my hand fell to the ground. Could it be that Ji Ying was just a substitute? No wonder Xie Yuancheng liked her so much. After all, who would take childhood vows seriously? In such a short time, how could one fall in love with a man, even though that man was a woman, without strong emotional support?
Wan'er picked up the fan, and I took it in my hand: "Wan'er, I stayed up late last night. Please keep watch at the door for me and don't let anyone come in and disturb me. Also, what we said today should be kept as a little secret. Don't tell anyone else."
Wan'er nodded, looking at me with concern. "Good girl, I will definitely find you a good family in the future."
After Wan'er closed the door and left, I took off my shoes, lay down on the bed fully clothed, and thought, "Xie Yuancheng, you big liar! It's all my fault. In this place full of dangers, how could I so easily trust someone?"
Now that I've lost my body and my heart, what am I going to do next?
I only felt the pain in my hand after crushing the folding fan in my hand, and I sat up. Bah, he's just a man. I'll get away with it later. There are plenty of good men in the world. Xie Yuancheng is not the right man for me.
I wiped away my tears, patted my face, and tried to clear my head. To survive here, you can't easily trust people. To live, you have to be shrewd and diplomatic; you have to deal with even the most annoying people.
Just as she had figured things out, Wan'er opened the door and came in, saying that Consort Ji had arrived.
I asked her to take Consort Ji to the backyard. I quickly put on my shoes, looked in the mirror, and saw that everything was normal before going to the backyard.
As soon as Consort Ji saw me, she slapped me. Please, you should have slapped Xie Yuancheng instead.
But she holds a high position of power, so I'll just have to put up with it for now and get my revenge later.
Consort Ji told Wan'er to leave, "Kneel down."
I, I heard it, and knelt down in front of her, my hands clasped.
Consort Ji said in a tone of disappointment, "Ying'er, you are the only son of the Ji family. How could you do such a shameful thing with Marquis Anle?"
Fortunately, I already knew about Xie Yuancheng and Lü Yan's affair, so I stopped covering for him: "Your Majesty, I was confused for a moment. I had enough of the princess's temper in the palace, and when I finally got out of the palace, I got a little too proud and made a big mistake."
However, Ji Ying has an older brother, so how could he be the only son?
Consort Ji's tone softened: "Get up first. Fortunately, this was discovered early, and there is still hope."
I feigned remorse, and Consort Ji said earnestly, "Ying'er, don't be foolish. Take advantage of the opportunity to turn back and don't get caught up in this."
